Executive Summary
Sean Stone has been writing about supranational power for two decades — his first book, The New World Order, began as a college thesis — and he came on the show this week to talk about something that sounds like a departure and is not. His new book is Ten Things to Learn: Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Soul, with a foreword by RFK Jr. It is built on roughly a hundred stories drawn from the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Buddha, Shakespeare, Melville, Dickens and film. And it exists because Sean does not believe people are getting the moral of the story anymore.
We spent this conversation moving between two registers that belong together. One is the documented record: Allen Dulles in Basel while Switzerland was called neutral, Prescott Bush's bank seized for trading with the enemy, the Dulles brothers walking into the State Department and the CIA, Smedley Butler's warning that all wars are banker's wars, the International Organization Immunity Act of 1945 that still makes the World Bank unauditable, roughly 100,000 documents on the Nazi rat lines through Argentina surfacing this year, Michael Aquino's Mind Wars and NATO's cognitive warfare document, Brookings and the Rockefeller Foundation's 17 Rooms built to deliver the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The other register is older. Theseus walks into the labyrinth, kills the Minotaur, and then faces the real problem — getting out. He only manages it because Ariadne gave him a thread.
Technology has caught up with totalitarianism. That is the honest summary of where we are. But the answer to a machine that treats human beings as programmable is not a better machine. It is a human being who still knows how to go inside, read a primary document, finish a story, and act locally.
Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
The Supranational Architecture: Who Was Actually at the Table
In my own work I make a case that unsettles people, and I will keep making it. The CIA and the Five Eyes nations were not created to protect any country. They were created to protect the supranational architecture built during World War Two — which in plain language is the international banking system.
Follow that claim into the record. We were told Switzerland was neutral. What the record shows is Americans, Germans, British and French at the same table in Basel while the rest of the world sorted itself into allies and enemies.
Allen Dulles was in Basel. He was the chief orchestrator of keeping the Rockefellers and company doing business straight through the fighting. That is why Prescott Bush's bank was seized — they were still trading with the enemy.
The war had sides. The money did not.
Then the Dulles brothers came home and entered the State Department and the CIA, and I have come to see that as the true modern ending of our country. They did not come back from Switzerland concerned about the United States. Look at what followed: the first overthrows, the first time America ran regime change. Then look at who their clients were at Sullivan and Cromwell, and why Iran nationalizing Iranian oil became an emergency. John McCloy shaped this country more than almost any elected official of his era — and almost nobody knows his name.
Why the Profit Is in the Reconstruction, Not the War
Smedley Butler wrote War Is a Racket after World War I and told us plainly that all wars are banker's wars. The country has had ninety years to read twenty pages.
But Butler described the sales pitch. The business model is one layer deeper.
The consolidation of money and power over humanity does not happen during the shooting. It happens in the reconstruction — hundreds of billions and then trillions moving through a short list of institutions, with the spending plan already drafted. The people funding both sides of a war are not watching the war. They are waiting for the rebuild.
We watched that pattern run in Ukraine in real time. And after the last war, Allen Dulles made certain none of the Ukrainian Nazis were held accountable.
Here is the part that ends any serious argument about oversight. The International Organization Immunity Act of 1945 is still in force. It still protects these banks. There is no jurisdiction, no audit authority, no way for us to establish where the trillions routed through the World Bank actually went. I would say it went to the supranational banking cartel — and the reason that cannot be disproven is that we are not permitted to look.
A system that cannot be audited does not answer to We the People. It answers to itself.
The Nazi Caricature and the Eugenics That Started Here
I say this constantly and it still lands hard. I do not believe the Nazis lost World War Two, and I am not certain World War Two is over.
The caricature was built as a distraction. Stop looking at Nazis as men in green uniforms who loved Hitler — start looking at them as totalitarians who were comfortable with eugenics. The map changes immediately, because eugenics was not a German invention.
The first conferences were British and American. Rockefeller money funded the program here. Hitler adapted what we were already studying. It was Darwinian at the root, Huxley was Darwin's great promoter, and running alongside it was Blavatsky's evolution of the root races — which is where the subspecies thinking came from.
We exported the doctrine. Then we imported the men who perfected it. After Hitler's surrender the public was asked to accept that millions of Nazis became allies overnight. Why not bring them to Harvard to teach? Princeton was a major destination. And the occult darkness came with them — that was not an accident and it was never incidental.
The money came too, and that file is finally open. Grassley pushed to reopen the rat lines. Milei's government went looking in Argentina. This year roughly 100,000 documents surfaced on the Nazi route through Argentina and the money that traveled it. Perón was on that side of the ledger. So was Chile. A substantial share of that money came into America, and the investigation is active right now.
Technology Has Caught Up With Totalitarianism
Someone asked me recently why I am so worked up about these midterms. What's the difference?
This is the difference. Technology has caught up with totalitarianism.
The ambition was never hidden. David Rockefeller said publicly that an intellectual elite and a banker class is far more sensible at running the world than the auto-determination of humans. Limits to Growth named the human being as the problem. Yuval Harari, key advisor to Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum, teaches that humans are programmable and free will is an illusion.
What changed is the tooling. For Infiltration Instead of Invasion I dug well past Operation Paperclip — into the social sciences becoming a weaponized field, through Michael Aquino's Mind Wars, to NATO publishing a cognitive warfare document in the open.
And consider who Aquino was. The head of the United States Army's psychological operations was a declared Satanist who went to Himmler's castle and tried to summon him. Sean interviewed the man. The occult was not adjacent to the psychological warfare program — it was inside it.
The reason most people cannot see any of this is that it does not arrive looking like control. It arrives as convenience. It arrives as the solution. And the results are measurable: colder people, more depressed people, more isolated people.
Hannah Arendt told us in The Origins of Totalitarianism that isolation is precisely the condition where totalitarianism works best. In her last book, The Life of the Mind, she described the mind's own suicide. We are not just suffering that — we are volunteering for it. I watch people with serious educations hand their reasoning to a machine. On my daily show I will not read you somebody's article; I want the lesson, the players, and how it came to pass over time. That is the difference between being informed and being fed.
This is textbook addiction, and my first book exists because of it. The dealer never advertises the hook. He advertises relief.
Agenda 2030 and the Republic That Does Not Fit It
I think World War Three was planned before Hitler surrendered. When I follow the money it is obvious they wanted the capital out, because they intended to try again.
The third attempt ran through Europe. Devastate the continent, finally capture Russia — which is not going to happen — and then arrive with the solution already written: reconstruction at a scale that consolidates everything, and a world obligated to adhere to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030.
The arming continued even while President Trump was tied up. So did the labs and the outposts. Victoria Nuland testified that NATO and the United States took over every single part of that government. Zelensky, a professional actor by trade, stood at the World Economic Forum around 2020 and signaled readiness.
Brookings and the Rockefeller Foundation created 17 Rooms to deliver 17 goals. John Podesta was one of the writers of Agenda 2030. The Center for American Progress is a virus on our nation.
And none of it works with a standing Constitution, a Bill of Rights and a constitutional republic. That single incompatibility explains everything else. When the DSA calls for ending the Senate, ending the Electoral College, expanding the court and opening the border, that is not four policies — it is one objective stated four ways.
I watched the Clinton Global Initiative this weekend with my mouth hanging open. They no longer care that citizens of our nations should have a say. They speak as though the Constitution is already past tense. It is hanging by a string — and a string is also a thread.
Ariadne's Thread and the Way Back Out
Theseus slays the Minotaur. Everybody remembers that. Almost nobody remembers that the hard part was getting out — and that he only managed it because Ariadne handed him a thread.
Sean lived a version of it young, exploring an abandoned mental hospital called Greystone Park and making a film there, realizing that in a labyrinth you lose your way, then your sense of self, then your mind. Kubrick filmed the ending. Jack cannot get out of the maze. No monster beats him. The maze does.
We are in a maze, and there are a hundred ways to get lost in it. The thread is the stories — the ones that survived thousands of years because they keep reminding us that everyone falls, everyone faces a dark night, and there is a route back. Sean's ten things trace it: falling and surrendering first, then crying, caring, hating, creating, sharing, loving, and finally breath.
Sean said the awareness is what defeats this, because when we become aware we take our sovereignty back. I will add my own line. Stop waiting for permission from someone who has no authority over you, your life, or your choices.
If you think Donald Trump or Biden or Washington, D.C. is your problem and that fixing them fixes this, you are feeding the beast. Everything is local. Everything is about loving the people who love you and protecting them. Read George Washington's farewell address if you want to know the country we were supposed to have — everything he warned about, we did.
Who rules? In a republic the answer can only be one thing. We the People are the answer, and we always were.
Key Takeaways
- The CIA and the Five Eyes nations were built to protect the supranational architecture of the international banking system assembled during World War Two, not to protect any individual country.

- The profit is in the reconstruction, not the war: that is why reconstruction plans exist before the wars that justify them.
- The International Organization Immunity Act of 1945 still shields these institutions — no jurisdiction, no audit, no accounting for the trillions routed through the World Bank.
- Eugenics began at British and American conferences with Rockefeller funding; Hitler adapted what we were already studying.
- Roughly 100,000 documents on the Nazi rat lines through Argentina surfaced this year, and that investigation is still active.
- The head of the U.S. Army's psychological operations, Michael Aquino, was a declared Satanist who traveled to Himmler's castle — and NATO has since published a cognitive warfare document in the open.
- Technology has caught up with totalitarianism, and it is being sold to us as convenience rather than control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there actual evidence the Nazi money came to America, or is this just a theory?
There is paperwork. Grassley pushed to reopen the rat lines investigation, Milei's government searched the Argentine archives, and roughly 100,000 documents surfaced this year on the route through Argentina and the money that traveled it. Perón was on that side, and so was Chile. The work is ongoing right now, which is exactly why it is worth watching.
Why can't Congress just audit the World Bank?
Because of the International Organization Immunity Act of 1945, which is still in force. It shields these institutions from our jurisdiction entirely. There is no audit authority, which means nobody we elect can tell us where the trillions went. That is not an oversight failure — it is the design.
Was the head of Army psychological operations really a Satanist?
Michael Aquino was, openly, and he traveled to Himmler's castle and attempted to summon him. Sean Stone interviewed him directly. Most people hear that and assume it is an exaggeration, which tells you how little of this history has reached the public.
If Washington can't be fixed, what am I supposed to do?
Everything local, which is almost everything that actually touches your life. Read one primary document instead of one summary. Finish one real book or film and talk about it with another person out loud. Pick one local body or neighbor and give yourself a deadline. The awareness is what defeats this, and awareness is free.
What does ancient mythology have to do with Agenda 2030?
Everything, because the people building it have said plainly that the human being is a collection of switches with no soul and no creative spark. If free will is an illusion, managing people looks humane. Our defense is not a better policy argument. It is remembering what we are, which is exactly what the oldest stories were preserved to do.
