Strategic and Esoteric Battles for Greenland and the Arctic | Daniel Estulin

The Greenland issue consists of both a public political element and a hidden esoteric element. I am going to explain both. The Arctic dispute is an "all-or-nothing" fight for the distribution of the North. Russia consistently maintains the position that the Gakkel Ridge is a continuation of the Eurasian continental massif. Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Denmark, by way of Greenland, proposes an alternative interpretation, linking the territory to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Behind this controversy, a third actor is becoming increasingly visible: the United States. They prefer to act indirectly, shifting the balance of power through alliances and the control of key territories. In their vision of global economic regionalization, this territory would encompass Greenland, Canada, the United States, and Mexico, reaching all the way down to Venezuela and Colombia. Greenland is fundamental to this configuration. Trump’s "chatter" about purchasing the island is not the eccentricity many claim it to be; rather, it is the covert activation of a process of strategic redistribution. Controlling Greenland would grant Washington more than just a military advantage by placing them closer to Russia; it would provide direct access to the core of very important Arctic resources. We are talking about colossal volumes of mineral resources. This factor, more than any other, explains the growing American interest—an interest that curiously only became public under Trump.

If the US establishes de facto control over Greenland, Washington will inevitably begin pushing the theory that the Gakkel Ridge is an extension of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge stretching from Greenland toward Siberia. This interpretation is dangerous because it provides the legal and political justification for US claims over the Central Arctic, where almost all the natural resources are located. This maneuver would put the US on a war footing with Russia, from whom it had wrested influence in Venezuela. In mere hours, the influence that Russia had painstakingly built over 25 years was dismantled. Now, the US is going to take northern territory. The logic is evident: Greenland allows the United States to close the Arctic arc from the North Atlantic and gain levers of influence, especially over the Northern Sea Route—Russia’s primary maritime route—which will become the main stage for resource competition over the next decade.

That is the political side. On the other hand, there is the esoteric part. While political scientists and analysts focus on policy, geopolitics, and geoeconomics, I am going to tell you about the power in the shadows. One of the heraldic symbols of the British secret societies is the Royal Badge of Wales. Between 1953 and 2008, it featured the Red Dragon with the motto "Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn" ("The Red Dragon inspires action"). Though it was officially updated in 2008 to include a crown, four cheetahs, and the motto "Pleidiol Wyf i'm Gwlad" ("I am true to my country"), the claim is that the change is a cover story. The true symbol was and remains the Red Dragon—a symbol rooted in Arthurian legend and adopted by the Tudors—representing an image of unimaginable force.

Solidly in the grips of dark forces since long before the days of Dr. Dee.

 

Furthermore, there exists an occult Order of the Green Dragon. Often described in esoteric literature as a murky mystical society linked to Tibetan or Japanese traditions, it is said to influence major historical figures through the mastery of etheric bodies. In occultism, colors, numbers, dates, and images provide a 'cover language' for the invisible world that connects mysticism to power politics. Drawing from Chinese mysticism and Masonic traditions, the Green Dragon represents hidden knowledge and the number 7, the force of the underworld, while the Red Dragon represents the number 9, symbolizing the forces that triumph on the Earth's surface and the rank of guardian angels.

In the 16th century, these ideas were developed by John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I’s advisor and a Welsh order Kabbalist magician. Dee was the first great intelligence agent—the original James Bond—who signed his secret documents "007." The symbol of Wales on its flag—a Red Dragon on a white and green background—reflects this. Dee’s primary work involved Enochian magic, which later influenced the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the 19th and 20th centuries. Behind this order were the 'Sons of the Sun,' a bohemian group of British nobility that included the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII, the 'Peace Maker' and master spin doctor of WWI, who 'befriended' France and Russia, and built a "ring of fire" around Germany to destroy Britain's greatest rival. And it was John Dee who created the concept of "Green Land" (Greenland), proposing that Britannia create a new empire devoid of biblical elements, uniting North America and Eurasia around the Arctic. He drew from Arthurian myths to justify claims over these lands, leading to the symbolic centering of the world at the Greenwich Meridian. In today's politics, this is the project of the New Jerusalem Kabbalists based in London.

Originally, Dee's circumpolar arctic "Green Land" empire was to be realized via the dynastic lines of Elizabeth I and Ivan the Terrible (Ivan Rurik). The Rurik dynasty, founded in 862, ruled Russia for 21 generations, and they are seen as the only ones with the historical right to sit at the metaphorical round table of world power—ranking above the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. Genghis Khan and Ivan Rurik shared a concept of monarchy as a mystical union, while the Romanovs (of German origin) became a buffer for the Holy Roman Empire against the Golden Horde of Genghis Khan from the East.

Now, how does this relate to current reality? Public education and the media completely dismiss the actual power of European royals, aristocratic bloodlines, the Vatican, and secret societies. But as a matter of fact, the British Crown remains the head of state not only of the UK, but also of Canada and many other countries and territories. This is not symbolical nor ceremonial, this is real power. 'Green' eugenicist globalist King Charles III is the King of Canada, and Mark Carney is the Prime Minister he approved. And a change of power is occurring in the House of Windsor—not in favor of the old King, but in favor of his eldest son William, the son of Diana Spencer (a direct blood descendant of the Stuart monarchs and a distant Tudor), married to Kate Middleton, whose mother, Carole Elizabeth Middleton, comes from the famous Jewish billionaire Goldsmith family. To be clear: sooner than later power is moving from Elizabeth II via Charles III to William, the Prince of Wales. The struggle of the Spencers against the Windsors (the German Saxe-Coburg and Gothas, the Glücksburgs, and the Battenbergs) is a war between old and new princes, about how Britain will carry out its 'biblical alliances' during the current change of eras.

After Maduro, Might Makes Right | Alexander Dugin

What does the kidnapping of the president of a sovereign country mean? Like in the era of barbarian kingdoms, Maduro was brought in and paraded through the streets of New York like a captive enemy for the amusement of the crowd. Many note that this is reminiscent of Rome in its twilight years.

 » "Reshuffling of the deck" and global conflict. The world will never be the same again. «

 

[...] And what does all this mean? [...] International law no longer exists. Appealing to the UN, asking the West to pay attention to violations of certain principles, agreements, or provisions that contradict the letter and spirit of the law — all of this is now completely futile. 

 

[...] The idea that there are certain norms and rules that can be negotiated should be left in the past once and for all. There is no international law. There is only the law of force. In a sense, it has always been this way — this is nothing new. It’s just that, at certain times, after each "reshuffling of the deck" and global conflict, when spheres of influence are redistributed, the great powers assert their right to sovereignty.  

 

» International law is always a balance of power between the victors. « 

This was the case in the First and Second World Wars. When fascist Europe became a separate entity in world politics, it demanded that the world submit to it. The world rebelled, and that power is no more. But any international law is always a balance of power between the victors. That’s the point. For more than a century, nation-states have not been sovereign actors establishing world order; world relations are shaped by ideological blocs.

[...] Trump said nothing conceptually new, but he de facto scrapped the Yalta peace, the bipolar system, the UN, and even the very idea of globalization hitherto. His position is simple: "My interests are the interests of the world hegemon. Obey me." 

 

 » In the end, these infamous and lost thieves, like wretched fruit hanging from this tree... « 

The Miseries and Misfortunes of War by Jacques Callot, 1633.

 

In fact, humanity is now in a state of fundamental humiliation. Trump simply called a spade a spade. Globalists used to soften this humiliation by pretending to listen to your opinion and allowing you to participate in the process. Now that multilateralism is over, only the right of force remains, and this is an irreversible process. The world will never be the same again.

We are in the midst of a protracted, long-running Third World War, where international law simply does not exist. It will exist sometime in the future, based on the outcome of this conflict. [...] Trump is casting an arrogant challenge: "If you are winners, then win. Like me, for example. Where is your Zelensky?" 

 

 » If you are winners, then win. Where is your Zelensky? «

 

From this point of view, only when you parade Zelensky, the terrorist Malyuk, the terrorist Budanov, or Zaluzhny through Moscow in a cage, and the crowd of "Russian Romans," the inhabitants of the Third Rome, shout "shame, murderers" at them, only then will they talk to you. Perhaps on some holiday: Labor Day or Friendship of Peoples Day. Only then will we be accepted into the club of great powers. But for now, no. We are trying to convince Trump with documents that hundreds of Ukrainian drones wanted to destroy the Russian president, and the response we get is something like, "I don’t believe it. First, you set it up yourselves; second, it’s a pity it didn’t work out; and third, I know that we sent them so that your life wouldn’t be too sweet."

[...] We must defend ourselves in the war with the West, because that is where the initiative to revoke our right to sovereign policy comes from. It is time to abandon illusions about "Western partners" or "shared values." Trump is right to drop the mask of hypocrisy and nonsense about human rights: for him, America comes first. We are in a shootout: shoot or you will be killed. Trump did not even start World War III — he simply confirmed its existence.

» In this game without rules, Russia must win by any means necessary. «

 

[...] Only war decides everything — that’s the issue. And here the question of resources arises. Apparently, we are much better off with them than we thought: over four years of war, the people have demonstrated an incredible will for sovereignty. But now, in Ukraine, the question is not about the use of sovereignty, but about its acquisition. So far, it is not enough. Sovereignty is when you draw red lines and punish those who cross them. And when we demonstrate the Burevestnik, Poseidon, or Oreshnik, but nothing happens, it ceases to count in this world of shows and short cycles.

We have put everything at stake — the existence of Russia and our people — to prove our sovereignty. [...] In this game without rules, Russia must win by any means necessary. There are no taboo topics: we can abolish the Constitution, declare a state of emergency, do away with all conventions, and do whatever is necessary to survive. If we observe propriety and lose, it will not count in our favor. But if we succeed, no matter what, the victors will not be judged. Only the defeated are judged: if we slip up, they will hold a new Nuremberg trial over us.

» Tremble, nations, and submit, for God is with us. «  

 

This is the seriousness of 2026: it is a year of war and extraordinary measures. Peaceful life is being completely erased, like a wet rag wiping outdated formulas off a blackboard. Everything we counted on no longer works. We are in a cowboy saloon where a shootout is taking place without rules or regulations.

 

 [...] Now, thanks to Trump and his new doctrines, the situation has changed. Trump says, "I will conquer you all, I will shoot without warning." And look what he’s doing: he really is shooting. [...] We must act just like the strongest players — the West or Trump. Do as Trump does, but with completely different content, goals, and objectives. 

 

» There is no other way out. «

 

Methodologically, there is no other way out. China has achieved its goals through economics, but in a military confrontation, the question remains open: the Chinese are not the most warlike people, and there is a huge pro-Western elite there. We have not been able to compete economically, but our strengths are warrior bravery, courage, and faith. God is on our side: "Tremble, nations, and submit, for God is with us."

Latin America Facing the Storm: Rallying the Global Majority | Alexander Dugin

Trump is threatening to invade Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico simultaneously under the pretext of fighting drug cartels. It looks like he is beginning his own “special military operation.” If he had chosen Canada and Greenland as his targets, that would deserve full support. That would be a blow against globalism. As it stands, it is pure imperialism, a direct intervention.

» We must all show what a global majority truly is. «

An attack on countries that clearly lean towards multipolarity is a blow against us—against greater humanity. Israel attacked Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and Syria. And the Islamic world stayed silent, allowing it to happen. 

 

» Invade Canada, not Venezuela. «

 

Now the United States is preparing to invade three countries of Latin American civilization at once. If they follow the principle of each for itself, this will strengthen Western hegemony for a while longer. The countries of Latin America must unite and present an ultimatum to the United States. Right now, we must all—every BRICS country—show what a global majority truly is.

How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle | Ray Dalio

The big cycle is the period from one era of great change and turbulence, in which various systems or orders are transformed, typically through fighting, to the next. Then, through that evolutionary process, we arrive at yet another period of breakdown. The last big cycle began in 1945 at the end of World War II.

 

» This will lead to dramatic changes. «

 

Within that world order, there are shorter-term cycles, like the economic and political cycles. The economic cycles have lasted for about six years from one recession to the next, and they unfold in a way where the economy is weak.  

 

 » In considering which spending to cut, when one looks at the possibilities, one quickly notices that about 70% of the non-

interest spending is considered “mandatory”—i.e., it is either contractually required or politically nearly impossible to cut. «

 

Central banks put a lot of money and credit into it. That causes markets to go up. There's a lot of spending; it gets too hot; inflation rises. They tighten monetary policy, and that causes the economy to go down into recession. Since 1945, there have been twelve and a half of those.

 

» It appears clear that, as the gaps in people’s productivity, wealth, and values grow along with

levels of dissatisfaction about how their democracies are working, it leads to more populist conflict 

and more policies that are like those in the 1905-14 and the 1933-38 periods. «

Average global levels of political polarization since 1900.

 

We sometimes don't pay as much attention to the big cycle when it reaches excesses, such as debt excesses. This is because debts rise relative to incomes. If you look at a chart of most countries, their debts keep rising relative to their incomes, but the incomes are needed to pay the debts. So, when you get to a point where the debts are high relative to the incomes, and debt service is very expensive and starts to crowd out other spending, and investors do not want to hold the debt as much because the debt does not provide them good returns and they start to sell that debt, you begin to have a change in that big debt cycle.

 

 » For the United States, the big cycles look mostly unfavorable. «

 Ray Dalio's “Power Index” for great powers and empires over time.

 

That big debt cycle typically corresponds with the big domestic political and social cycle because wealth and well-being matter to people. When there's disruption to people's wealth and well-being, then you have political disruption, such as what we are experiencing now. Consequently, there's more fighting over wealth and power, and so on. These things come together, which then creates the new conflicts, the new big conflicts: the changes and breaking down of the old orders, the old monetary orders, the old domestic political order, the geopolitical order, and such things to cause seismic shifts. These are periods of great risk for the markets and great risk for society. It's very important that they're understood.
