I am a seeker of truth in an ocean of lies.

What if one of the most consequential transfers of power in modern history happened without an invasion, a coup, or a single shot being fired? On this episode of Behind the Deep State, Alex Newman sits down with author and researcher Mel K to discuss her new book, Infiltration Instead of Invasion, and her investigation into the power structures that emerged from World War II. Mel K argues that while Americans celebrated victory and the return of peace after WWII, a new international architecture was taking shape, built around permanent bureaucracies, intelligence networks, powerful financial institutions, and international organizations that operated beyond voters' control. Newman and Mel K examine the origins and influence of institutions, including the United Nations, the Bretton Woods system, and the Bank for International Settlements, as well as the role of intelligence agencies, international finance, diplomatic networks, and unelected technocrats in shaping the postwar world. Especially fascinating: The National Socialist (Nazi) connections.

From the Ocean of Lies 10. Socialism will improve affordability. The great experiment with socialism should have worked. The colonists on the Mayflower were godly people who cared about each other and wanted to share everything. They discovered the harsh reality of human nature. They put in minimal effort into food production, and starvation was the result. The leaders realized that productivity was essential for survival and private property was essential for motivation. They set a quota for each person, and whatever remained beyond the quota became the producer's private property. The colony survived and grew. Money in the form of gold, silver, and copper coins was the common means to store the accumulated wealth of human productivity. Affordability is what money can buy from the fruits of human labor. Taxes and money devaluation reduce affordability. Tools improve human productivity, resulting in more money available and lower prices for what is produced. Socialism redistributes wealth from the taxpayers to the government. The government pays its own overhead and then spends what remains on what it determines is necessary and proper. A limited federal government, specified by the Constitution, keeps taxes at a minimum. When government power expands beyond legal limits, taxes rise, and everything becomes less affordable. Government regulations make products more expensive, reducing affordability. A dramatic shift at the federal government level is essential to improve affordability. Social programs and regulations have gone far beyond constitutional legal limits. Look at the enumerated powers and see for yourself. Look back in history when individual charity worked better than government programs because people were spending their own money rather than the government spending other people's money. Solutions exist, but the political will to change is missing.

From the Ocean of Lies 9. The Ukraine war is a fight for freedom. Scott Ritter has repeated in interviews, Substack posts, and X: the United States used Ukrainian nationalists as proxies to remove a constitutionally elected president, install a pro-Western government, and set Ukraine on a collision course with Russia. He treats later events (Donbas fighting, 2022 invasion) as direct consequences of that 2014 operation. According to Scott Ritter, the 2014 events in Ukraine were a U.S.-orchestrated coup (which he calls the “Maidan Coup”), not a spontaneous popular revolution. He attributes primary responsibility to the CIA and the U.S. government, working with Ukrainian far-right nationalists. In his telling, the CIA had a long-standing relationship with the Bandera faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) dating back to the Cold War. After Viktor Yanukovych returned to power in 2010, the CIA viewed him as an obstacle to U.S. goals (including eventual NATO membership for Ukraine). The CIA, together with USAID, NED, and other U.S.-funded networks, helped create the conditions and then “helped orchestrate” the February 2014 overthrow. Armed Ukrainian nationalist groups (Right Sector, Svoboda) provided the street violence that turned protests into a coup. U.S. diplomats, especially Victoria Nuland and Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, selected the post-Yanukovych leadership (Ritter frequently cites the leaked Nuland–Pyatt call and Nuland’s preference for “Yats”/Yatsenyuk). According to Scott Ritter, the war did not start with Russia’s February 2022 invasion. He says it started in 2014. His sequence is: The United States (CIA, State Department, Nuland/Pyatt) orchestrated a coup in Kyiv in February 2014 that removed the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, and brought Ukrainian nationalists (Right Sector, Svoboda, Banderists) into power. That new government immediately began persecuting ethnic Russians in the east and south—most notably the Odessa Trade Union building fire and the “Anti-Terrorist Operation” in Donbas. Ritter calls this a war of Ukrainian nationalist aggression against the Russian-speaking population. From 2015 onward, NATO (especially the U.S.) trained and equipped the Ukrainian army at a new facility in Ukraine so it could eventually retake Donbas and Crimea by force. Ritter says the Minsk agreements were never intended to be implemented; they were a stalling tactic. After eight years of fighting that killed thousands in Donbas, and with NATO treating Ukraine as a proxy that could be used against Russia, Moscow launched its “special military operation” in 2022 as a preemptive/self-defense response. On 9 April 2022 Boris Johnson made a surprise visit to Kyiv. According to Davyd Arakhamia, who led Ukraine’s delegation, Johnson’s message was that Ukraine should not sign anything with Russia “and let’s just fight.” In late March 2022, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators in Istanbul sketched a possible framework: Ukrainian neutrality (no NATO membership), delayed resolution of Crimea, and some form of security guarantees, with a possible Zelensky–Putin meeting to finish it. After the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO needed to justify its continued existence. NATO expanded eastward over decades to provoke Russia into continued tensions. The war in Ukraine is a proxy war between NATO and Russia. The goal of NATO is to weaken Russia and allow a greater war to gain control over trillions in natural resources controlled by Russia. Napolean and Hitler had such goals and failed badly. Countries in Europe are desperate to avoid blame for the coming financial system collapse and war is the best excuse they can find.

From the Ocean of Lies 8. The death of a martyr will be rewarded with 72 virgins. The numbered claim comes from Hadith literature (reports of sayings attributed to Muhammad). The most commonly cited version is narrated from the Companion al-Miqdam ibn Ma’di Karib and recorded in Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1663: “There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood, he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head… he is married to seventy-two wives along al-huril-‘ayn of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives.” In the Quran, Jesus (Arabic: ʿĪsā ibn Maryam, “Jesus son of Mary”) is one of the greatest prophets and messengers of God, but he is not divine. When questioned about marriage in the afterlife, Jesus replies that those who are raised “neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30; Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35–36). The resurrection existence he describes is not a continuation or intensification of earthly sexual or marital life. The incentive given by Muslims for suicide attacks is a false promise of bodily pleasures when there is no body to experience such pleasures.

From the Ocean of Lies 7. AI will provide universal high income AI can provide vast improvements in productivity. The result is lower prices for the things we buy. Let's assume we are all living on the same universal basic income. No one has higher or lower income, so the relative term "high" becomes meaningless. Those who embrace a future where robots do all the work would render humanity obsolete. Humanity would become extinct as a robot civilization would rise with only a false echo of humanity. Those who embrace a future where AI allows humanity to reach its full potential will lead humanity's future. That future would have no limits on humanity's expansion. The threat of AI to humanity is no different from the threat of a gun. Humanity determines its own future. Those who choose to follow guidance from the ego will go down the path to conflict and torment. Those who choose to follow guidance from the Holy Spirit will go down the path to find inner peace.

From the Ocean of Lies 6. Prediction markets (real-money betting/trading on event outcomes) are the main “gambling” platforms treated like scientific polls. Traders put money behind forecasts, so prices function as implied probabilities. Many analysts, journalists, and campaigns watch them as a complement or rival to traditional surveys because they update instantly, incorporate more information than a snapshot poll, and have historically beaten raw polls on some election outcomes. Platforms generally check age and location for legal trading eligibility (18+, KYC, geo-restrictions). They do not check whether you can vote in the race being priced. A poll estimates who eligible or likely voters prefer right now, using sampling and weighting so each person in the target population is meant to count roughly equally. A prediction market prices who traders think will win. Anyone allowed on the platform can trade. Influence scales with money, not with citizenship or a single ballot. A trader can be: 1. not a U.S. citizen 2. not registered 3. not in the relevant district or state 4. too young to vote 5. an institution or a “whale” putting up far more capital than a typical voter. Consider that next time you see a political prediction from: Polymarket — Highest volume. Crypto-native (USDC on Polygon) with a now-regulated U.S. arm. It drew billions on the 2024 U.S. presidential race and is widely cited as having priced a Trump win more accurately than polling averages in swing states. It covers elections, geopolitics, sports, and culture. Kalshi — First major CFTC-regulated U.S. prediction market. Strong on politics, economics, weather, and now sports. It has partnerships with news outlets and a dedicated 2026 midterms hub. Often compared directly with polls. PredictIt — Longest-running U.S. political-focused market (CFTC no-action relief). Smaller position limits historically, heavier fees, but deep coverage of granular U.S. races, primaries, and legislative outcomes. Frequently used in academic comparisons with polls. Iowa Electronic Markets (IEM) — Academic research market run by the University of Iowa since 1988. Classic studies found it more accurate than contemporaneous polls about 74% of the time on presidential vote share, especially farther from Election Day. Betfair Exchange (and similar exchanges like Smarkets) — Traditional peer-to-peer betting exchanges. Politics is a sideline compared with sports, but they have long been used for UK/European elections and some U.S. races. Odds from these sites are often aggregated with the others.

From the Ocean of Lies 5. Foreign workers are needed to fill jobs that Americans cannot. The government created a program to allow for the hiring of foreign workers. The Immigration Act of 1990 created the modern H-1 B program. It replaced and narrowed the earlier H-1 category. The predecessor H-1 visa dates to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. That category admitted people of “distinguished merit and ability” for temporary work of an exceptional nature, originally with a one-year limit and a requirement that they maintain a foreign residence they did not intend to abandon. Over time, the rules loosened (a bachelor’s degree became sufficient evidence of “merit,” and stays lengthened), usage grew, and employers pressed for even more flexibility. In 1989, the category was split into H-1A (nurses) and H-1B (other skilled workers). The 1990 Act recast H-1B around “specialty occupations”: jobs that require the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge and, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. It imposed an annual cap of 65,000 new visas, added labor condition application requirements intended to protect U.S. workers’ wages and working conditions, and allowed dual intent (holders could pursue a green card without jeopardizing the temporary visa). The government program has been degraded by qualification fraud and corporations that fire domestic workers after using them to train their foreign replacements. U.S. and foreign authorities have documented H-1B-related fraud that originates in other countries—especially document mills, fake credentials, and staffing schemes tied to India, which accounts for most H-1B visas. There are ways to develop domestic talent for specialized jobs. Common forms include: 1. Curriculum input and co-designed programs. Employers sit on advisory boards, help write courses, or co-create certificates and degrees so graduates learn tools and practices the company actually uses. Many of those students later receive full-time offers from the same employers. 2. Train-to-hire and academy models. Companies fund or run short, targeted programs that feed directly into jobs. 3. Scholarships, equipment, and on-site training. Firms donate labs, pay tuition or scholarships, send employees as instructors, or have the college train both students and current workers. Community colleges in particular do a lot of this for manufacturing, HVAC, nursing, semiconductors, and skilled trades. There are ways to work with a foreign consultant in a virtual meeting without a work visa. There is no general U.S. ban on paying a consultant who stays in their home country and meets only by video. Restrictions appear when sanctions, export controls, or tax-sourcing rules apply. There is no reason for government to allow foreign nationals long-term employment in the United States. The negative impact of AI on job opportunities should be motivation enough to eliminate such programs.

From the Ocean of Lies 4. People migrate to the United States without authorization primarily because of large differences in wages and jobs, combined with violence, poverty, and weak institutions in their countries of origin. The migration of illegals is a planned, funded, and implemented operation in violation of immigration law. Migration of illegals is not something organic. In March 2000, the UN Population Division published a technical report called Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Aging Populations? It examined eight low-fertility countries (including the United States, Japan, Germany, Italy, and others) plus Europe as a whole. The authors calculated how many immigrants would be needed, under various hypothetical scenarios, to: 1. keep total population from shrinking, 2. keep the working-age population from shrinking, or 3. keep the ratio of workers to retirees from falling. UN agencies (IOM and UNHCR) and partner NGOs have provided cash or voucher assistance, food, and short-term shelter under the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan. That aid is real and has included prepaid cards and “cash in envelopes.” Many people released at the border are sent to nonprofit shelters. Those organizations (often using FEMA Shelter and Services grants) provide short-term housing, food, clothing, and transportation to a destination inside the United States. That is reimbursement to the organizations, not a cash payment to the individual. Sanctuary cities do not receive a special federal “sanctuary grant.” They provide a mix of local and state money, plus whatever federal funds they can still use. The package varies by city. Common items paid with city or state dollars: 1. Emergency shelter and hotels. 2. Food, case management, and transportation. Immigration legal aid — representation in removal cases and help filing asylum or work-permit applications. 3. Local health programs — city clinics or state-funded coverage that goes beyond emergency Medicaid. 4. IDs and driver’s licenses (where state law allows). 5. In-state tuition at public colleges in some states. Occasional one-time housing grants or gift cards to leave shelter.

From the Ocean of Lies 3. Health Insurance for every American is essential to affordable health care. There is nothing more cost-effective than people spending their own money. For expected health care needs, the market-based solution offers prices in advance, so people can compare options and decide what is affordable. Paying for insurance to buy services adds overhead costs, and others spend your money. Insurance is only needed for catastrophic health care. An example where insurance is not involved: LASIK prices in the United States have been surprisingly stable in nominal dollars since the early 2000s, even as technology improved from blade-based procedures to bladeless, wavefront-guided, and topography-guided treatments. Typical national averages per eye (unadjusted for inflation): 2000: ~$2,000 2002: ~$1,600 2008: ~$2,000 2018: ~$2,200 2020: $2,632 2021: $2,474 2023–2025: $2,200–$2,632 Government intervention to make health care affordable involved insurance companies designing a system for increased profits. Insurance plans included government subsidies, copays, deductibles, coverage restrictions, and hidden costs negotiated between insurance companies and providers. In the end, a person could get free health insurance but never receive benefits because the deductible was unaffordable. The cost of hospital care is made worse for patients paying for the care of people who are unable or unwilling to pay. The main federal law that requires most U.S. hospitals to treat patients without regard to ability to pay is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Enacted in 1986, EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals that participate in Medicare (the large majority of U.S. hospitals) and operate an emergency department. It requires them to: 1. Provide an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who comes to the emergency department and requests care. 2. If an emergency medical condition is found, stabilize the patient (or arrange an appropriate transfer) within the hospital’s capabilities. The hidden increase in the cost of health care is the impact of care practices made based on financial incentives. Patients are treated for symptoms and not cures to keep the customers coming back. Patients are directed toward the most expensive treatments with costs hidden behind the wall of insurance payments. The overall health of the general population is in decline due to environmental factors such as unhealthy food, water, and air. Insurance companies are also fat targets for personal injury lawyers who get jackpot awards by juries in favorable venues. An individual can be bankrupted by lawfare, but insurance companies can settle and pass the cost along to consumers. There is much that can be done to make health care costs affordable, but the market-based solution seems to be avoided by government.

From the Ocean of Lies 2. Doctors are bound to "do good and do no harm" by the Hippocratic Oath. No oath is binding. Medical boards can override the doctor's judgment and suspend or revoke licenses. Health care network administrators can suspend or fire doctors for financial reasons. Skyrocketing medical practice insurance premiums have forced doctors out of private practice and into health care networks. Financial incentives drive health care network administrators' decisions. He is not a doctor and can push doctors to make decisions that harm patients physically and financially. Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, anticoagulation, and many psychiatric drugs cause nausea, infertility, bleeding, infection, organ damage, and death. Vaccines cause serious adverse events. Opioids cause dependence, overdose, and constipation. Antibiotics cause C. difficile, allergy, and resistance. Health care networks have financial incentives to choose the most expensive treatments regardless of actual health benefits. Pharmaceutical drugs are given priority over off-label drug usage, supplements, and alternative therapies. Samples are one of the largest marketing line items. They get patients started on a specific brand, familiarize the physician with that product, and often lead to continued prescriptions of the same brand rather than a cheaper generic or an unadvertised alternative. Randomized and observational work shows residents and practicing physicians with sample access prescribe more advertised drugs and fewer over-the-counter or generic options. Hospitals and large practices can acquire discounted drugs and bill at higher rates; that surplus can flow back to employed physicians through compensation formulas. Wholesalers and management-service organizations have also taken stakes in practices that administer high-cost drugs, aligning supplier and prescriber finances.

From the Ocean of Lies 1. Supreme Court rulings are the supreme law of the land. Per Grok: The Federalist Papers portray the Supreme Court as an independent, life-tenured body whose distinctive functions are (1) to decide cases according to law rather than political will, (2) to enforce the Constitution against unconstitutional legislation, and (3) to serve as the final appellate authority that unifies the interpretation of federal law. Hamilton repeatedly stresses that this role is a check, not a claim of judicial supremacy over the other branches or the people. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not Supreme Court rulings. When the Supreme Court makes an improper ruling, the other branches and the people can ignore it. The vast expansion of federal power beyond the Constitution's enumerated powers was never legally granted to Congress. The Supreme Court failed in its duty to enforce the Constitution. Beginning on March 6, 1819, the Supreme Court placed itself above God and the Constitution to fabricate "implied powers" based on what it decided was "necessary and proper." The Constitution required an amendment, but the Supreme Court ignored the law and shaped the Constitution to fit its will. A fraudulent criminal operation arose from that day. Congress would claim whatever power it wanted, and the Supreme Court would fabricate excuses for it. We need real enforcement of the Constitution, not false narratives about how the Supreme Court has ruled.
