Executive Summary
This is one of the largest documented betrayals of the American taxpayer in modern history, and almost no one in Washington is talking about it. This week on the show we walked through what is really happening with the Ukraine money, the Steady State that Norm Eisen has now openly named, and the architecture built between 1944 and 1954 that explains why your votes keep hitting a wall. The Senate just sent another $9 billion to Ukraine while more than $200 billion is unaccounted for, the SAVE Act sits blocked, and at least 2,000 Ukrainian shell companies have funneled roughly $4.7 billion through fictitious foreign-trade operations out of the country. BlackRock, Vanguard, and JPMorgan are quietly buying what is left. None of this started with the current war — it traces back to the 1991 Soros Open Society–USAID agreement, the 2014 Maidan coup coordinated by Victoria Nuland, and the same CIA color-revolution playbook now running on American soil. Norm Eisen, Steve Cash, Mark Elias, and a network of roughly 400 former intelligence officers are not freelancers. They are operators inside a supranational architecture set up by the Dulles brothers, Sullivan & Cromwell, and the Bank for International Settlements after World War II, with full legal immunity baked in by 1945. The good news is the architecture is just an architecture — it was built and it can be dismantled. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
The Ukraine Money Trail: $250 Billion Out, Almost Nothing Documented
Let me start with the number that should be on every American’s mind. We have sent well over $250 billion to Ukraine since the war began. That figure does not include the years of pre-war regime-change spending Obama and Samantha Power authorized. It does not include the off-book funding routed through USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy. And now, eighteen Democrats joining the uniparty just voted to send another nine billion on top of it — while re-sanctioning Russia, while blocking the SAVE Act, while refusing to answer where the previous $200 billion went.
Here is what we do know — because Ukrainian export-control filings make it public. Since the war began, more than 200 shady shell companies have been opened inside Ukraine to export money out of the country as fast as possible. A subsequent audit identified more than 2,000 shell companies moving approximately $4.7 billion through fictitious foreign-trade operations.
That is your money, folks.
The buyers of what is left are not a mystery. BlackRock. Vanguard. JPMorgan. The same multinational asset managers that always emerge after a managed war. The breadbasket of Europe — once a sovereign nation with its own agriculture, industry, and population — is being sold off to the highest bidder, with US taxpayer money funding the war that made the sale possible.
This is not a Ukraine policy debate. This is a money-laundering operation with body counts attached.
The 1991 Agreement Nobody Mentions
The pipeline did not begin in 2022, or in 2014, or even when Joe Biden’s son joined the Burisma board. It began in 1991.
That is the year George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the United States Agency for International Development entered into the working agreement that has driven Eastern European regime-change operations for the last thirty-five years. Soros himself confirmed it on camera. He said he established a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia.
Hold that name. Hold that date.
Hillary Clinton — when the Clintons reached the White House — publicly thanked Soros for “changing the world into an open society.” Bill Clinton expanded NATO eastward against the explicit Reagan–Gorbachev commitment. He bombed Yugoslavia. He accidentally hit the Chinese embassy. As an apology, he opened the World Trade Organization to China, gifting the globalist oligarchy the labor arbitrage they needed to gut American manufacturing.
The same people. The same agreement. The same plan. The Bushes, the Clintons, the Obamas, and the McConnell wing of the uniparty have all served the same architecture.
The 2014 Coup and the Victoria Nuland Playbook
By 2014, the architecture needed Ukraine to pivot west. The duly elected president wanted to normalize relations with Russia and step back from EU–NATO integration. That position was unacceptable.
So they overthrew him. Victoria Nuland coordinated the replacement. The CIA executed it. A series of selected successors followed. Joe Biden himself bragged on a public stage that US advisors were embedded inside nearly a dozen Ukrainian ministries — drafting legislation, restructuring the courts, training 1,200 soldiers and 750 National Guard personnel, shuttering more than 60 Ukrainian banks. Over $266 million of US support went into Ukraine’s security sector alone.
That was not aid. That was administration.
The country we are now told to defend “for democracy” was selected, trained, restructured, and operated by the same architecture that ran the 2014 coup against its own elected president. The actor in the green t-shirt is not the protagonist. He is the front man.
The Steady State Is A Confession, Not A Conspiracy
Here is what should make every American sit up straight. Norm Eisen — the man who wrote the impeachment playbook, the man who is currently blocking at least six of President Trump’s agenda items in court, the man who built the Transition Integrity Project — has now openly referred to the deep state by the term the operators themselves use: the Steady State.
It is the same term that appeared in the original Anonymous New York Times op-ed. It is the same term that appears in a book written by a former DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis official. It is the same term Steve Cash uses on the record.
Cash spent twenty years working for Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He is a former CIA officer. He served twenty years overseas running regime-change operations in the Balkans. He then came back into the US government — at the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, the one element of the intelligence community focused domestically.
In his own words: he and roughly 400 former intelligence colleagues “vanquished the existential threat” of Donald Trump in 2020. Then they went back into retirement. Then they came back in 2024 — because, as Cash put it, Trump was once again “an existential threat.”
That is not deep state paranoia. That is the operator describing the operation.
The Color Revolution Comes Home
The reference model for the Steady State’s domestic operations is Slobodan Milošević.
Steve Cash and his network have stated publicly that the playbook for defeating what they call American authoritarianism is the late-1990s overthrow of Milošević in Serbia. That operation combined student protest networks, labor union mobilization, NGO coordination, and select intelligence-services support. The film Bringing Down a Dictator documents it as a how-to. Cash has recommended it openly.
The “No Kings” protests organized in 2025 and 2026 were not organic. The same Cash organization that openly compares President Trump to Milošević and to Vladimir Putin is involved in coordinating them. The same Norm Eisen who ran the Ukraine impeachment is involved in coordinating the lawfare. The same Mark Elias who should have been indicted day one of the Trump administration is involved in coordinating the legal warfare. The same David Brock — whose Media Matters and 65 Project apparatus has been weaponizing the bar associations against conservative attorneys — is involved in coordinating the messaging.
This is a CIA color revolution on American soil. It is running. It has not been paused.
The 1944–1954 Architecture: Why None Of This Gets Prosecuted
Here is the deeper layer, and it is the one I wrote my second book, Infiltration Instead of Invasion, to document.
The architecture under which all of this is legal — and under which none of it can be prosecuted — was built between 1944 and 1954. It is the central thesis of my book and it is what I have been trying to wake people up to for years.
The Red House meeting in Strasbourg, August 1944. Senior officials of the Third Reich and the captains of German industry planned what came after the war they already knew was lost. The Bretton Woods conference, 1944. The Bank for International Settlements quietly continued through the war under Thomas McKittrick, despite documented dealings with Nazi finance. The National Security Act, 1947. The Central Intelligence Agency Act, 1949 — granting the CIA full opacity over its budget, operations, and personnel. The International Organization Immunity Act, 1945 — granting full legal immunity to international organizations the United States participates in, including dozens of UN affiliates, the World Bank, and the IMF.
These statutes have never been repealed. Multiple presidents have come and gone. None have acted on the architecture. It is as if they do not know it exists — or, more likely, are afraid to touch it.
The Dulles brothers — Allen at CIA, John Foster at State — executed the first applications. The 1953 overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran was conducted for BP Oil. BP Oil was a client of Sullivan & Cromwell, the Wall Street firm where both Dulles brothers had been partners. The 1954 overthrow of Árbenz in Guatemala was conducted for United Fruit. United Fruit was a client of Sullivan & Cromwell.
The pattern has not changed in seventy years. The clients change. The architecture does not. This is not conspiracy theory — this is documentary history.
The Federal Reserve, $2.2 Trillion, and the Question Bernanke Never Answered
The financial leg of the architecture is the Federal Reserve. It is neither federal nor a reserve. It is a tentacle of the international banking cartel that runs all the way up to the Bank for International Settlements.
In 2009, Senator Bernie Sanders asked Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a simple question: of the $2.2 trillion the Federal Reserve had loaned out in the aftermath of the 2008 controlled demolition, to whom had the money been loaned, and on what terms? Bernanke declined to answer.
The question has never been answered. Sixteen years later, the recipients remain undisclosed. The terms remain undisclosed. Sanders sat next to Sheldon Whitehouse and demanded answers. Nothing changed. Now we are looking at trillions and trillions more transferred into the international banking cartel’s coffers — with no repercussions, no audit, no transparency.
This is what Woodrow Wilson built in 1913. The Federal Reserve. The IRS. The progressive virus. Three permanent installations from one administration. Wilson worked for the global public-private partnership, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Chatham House Atlanticist movement. He betrayed this country, and the betrayal is the floor we are still standing on.
Why Trump’s Agenda Stalls — And What To Do About It
I get this question constantly. The American people voted for Donald Trump twice. Why is his agenda not moving at the speed we voted for?
The answer is the architecture.
It outlasted Eisenhower, who warned us on his way out the door. It outlasted Kennedy, who tried to challenge it and was killed on November 22, 1963. It outlasted Truman, who wrote on his deathbed — you can look it up — that had he known what the CIA would become, “the American Gestapo,” he never would have signed it. The architecture is engineered to outlast presidents. That is the design.
Voting is necessary. Voting is not sufficient.
Here is what each of us can do this week, this month, this year:
- Demand repeal of the International Organization Immunity Act of 1945. Call your senators. Call your representatives. Put the statute in front of them. Make them defend it.
- Demand an audit of the Federal Reserve. Every dollar. Every loan. Every recipient.
- Pass the SAVE Act and end mail-in ballots. 75% of Americans want voter ID and citizenship verification. There is no reason it is not law in every state.
- Investigate Norm Eisen, Mark Elias, the Transition Integrity Project, Event 201, the 51 intelligence officials, and the 65 Project. Full investigations. Real prosecutions.
- Read Truman’s deathbed op-ed. Read it. Show it to your neighbor. Show it to your kids.
- Show up locally. The architecture is national. The dismantling is local. School boards, city councils, county commissions, sheriffs.
We the People are the answer. We have always been the answer. The architecture is just an architecture. It was built and it can be dismantled.
Key Takeaways
- The Senate voted another $9 billion to Ukraine while $200+ billion is unaccounted for and the SAVE Act remains blocked.
- Over 2,000 Ukrainian shell companies have moved approximately $4.7 billion through fictitious foreign-trade operations; BlackRock, Vanguard, and JPMorgan are buying the assets.
- The Soros Open Society–USAID agreement dates to 1991, before Ukraine was even independent of Russia.
- The 2014 Maidan coup was a CIA–Soros–NATO operation against a duly elected president; Victoria Nuland coordinated it.
- Norm Eisen and Steve Cash have publicly named their network the Steady State — a roughly 400-person operation of former intelligence officers running a color revolution on US soil since 2016.
- The supranational architecture was built 1944–1954, with full legal immunity granted under the 1945 International Organization Immunity Act, which has never been repealed.
- Ben Bernanke’s $2.2 trillion Federal Reserve loan question, asked by Bernie Sanders in 2009, has never been answered.
- Recovery is constitutional, local, and entirely within our reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $250 billion Ukraine aid figure verifiable?
Yes. It is well-documented across multiple congressional appropriations and supplemental spending bills. The figure does not include the pre-war Obama-era spending or the off-book funding routed through USAID, National Endowment for Democracy grants, and downstream NGOs. The latest $9 billion was just voted in by eighteen Democrats and the McConnell wing of the uniparty.
Why was the SAVE Act blocked?
The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections — something 75% of Americans support. It was blocked because honest elections threaten the architecture that depends on managed outcomes. Most countries — including most of Europe — have already outlawed mail-in ballots. The United States is, on election integrity, the banana republic of the developed world.
Is the Federal Reserve actually a government agency?
No. The Federal Reserve is, as critics have noted for a century, neither federal nor a reserve. It is a tentacle of the international banking cartel that runs through the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland — itself granted legal immunity under the 1945 International Organization Immunity Act. Multiple presidents have come and gone without addressing it.
Who is Steve Cash and why does he matter?
Cash is a former CIA officer who spent twenty years running regime-change operations in the Balkans, twenty years working for Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a stint at DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis after 2020. He runs an organization of roughly 400 former intelligence officers — what Norm Eisen calls the Steady State. He has openly described the operation as a domestic political effort to defeat an elected American president.
How is none of this prosecuted?
The 1945 International Organization Immunity Act, the 1947 National Security Act, and the 1949 Central Intelligence Agency Act together grant a level of legal opacity and immunity that protects the architecture from accountability. None has ever been repealed. Repealing them is one of the central tasks of a sovereignty reawakening.
