The New Dark Age

Friday, 27 February 2026 — Rainer’s Newsletter

When it comes to the long-term designs of the Epstein class, an insightful resource is the Israeli-backed psyop book Bronze Age Mindset. Its author, the Greek right-wing polemicist who goes by “Bronze Age Pervert,” had been in contact with Israel’s influence network by the time he came out with the book in 2018. He’d been befriended by Edward Luttwak, the geo-strategist who’s done work for the Zionist occupier’s military and therefore is part of the global intelligence operations that Epstein was at the center of. It’s in Bronze Age Mindset where we find a series of predictive programming narratives, designed to recruit BAP’s audience of disillusioned men into assisting with the next schemes of Zionist billionaires.

One of these schemes was about the super rich fleeing to secluded areas away from a collapsing civilization, after which they’ll expand their private mercenary companies and cultivate new far-right personalities to manage the masses:

I believe that at some point, before or after the troubles, the superior specimens are going to find each other and leave this civilization. They will form fortresses on the edge of the civilized world, in the tropics, from where they will watch the seas. The era of high piracy will return. Such men will develop above all their physical powers and their ability to wage war. They will offer the nations defense in exchange for a price. Occasionally they will send a great demagogue into the peoples, when this becomes necessary. Such men, perched atop these eagles’ nests, will have the territory of a new frontier again, and a life that suits them. Science will be liberated from the constraints of caring for comfort or entertainment. Great projects in science,

the projects of private men, will once again begin. Such fortresses will possess frightful weapons to defend themselves, and will have penetrated deep into the nations their antennae and their many emissaries and watchers.

This is the kind of control that the Epstein class seeks to gain in the midst of the world’s growing instability, and such language is the means through which their psychological operatives prime certain audiences for these new phases within capitalism. It’s through this lens that we must interpret BAP’s call for the right-wing movement to infiltrate organized crime, including the enterprises that he describes as being “much worse” than ordinary prostitution or pornography:

To be effective in this world you must be very well-acquainted with the underworld, with criminal life, with junkies, dealers, prostitutes, gamblers, with the perviest of pervs. And this is what I mean by the great down-going. To gain a true hold on the foundations of this trash-world, a certain group among the right will have to descend in this inferno. I am firmly convinced that this is the key to overturning everything that is corrupt, and the path to the great purgation. I imagine a network of brothels and gambling- houses around the world, production of porn videos, and a complete penetration of the world of vice. Yes, to ensnare, to compromise, to corrupt, and above all to observe and to know their secrets. To descend into a floating world of complete vice, and even to engage in it—as you must if you are to thrive in this world—while keeping your head and keeping in focus the fire of your aim…isn’t this a great and very difficult achievement?

This path must be only for very few, very few are suited to it. But these few are to be among the greatest of the coming generation. This brotherhood will work instead to intensify vice, to stir up demonic passions, to sow total confusion in the heart of the beast. The increase of chaos, confusion and pressure on the Leviathan will lay it low: imagine even a world where the people, under relentless assault of contradictory and wild claims, would lose all faith in the media and government and doctors and believe nothing they hear through official channels anymore. This would be an order of knights of the spirit such as exists at most every thousand years. Slowly, maybe over two generations, they will work patiently, exploring and laying claims to all the sewers of the underworld, all the effluences of the Leviathan, all the joints of the lower skeleton that undergirds this world. They will take over night clubs, bars, brothels, hotels, casinos, pornography, and much worse, and rather than live to insulate themselves from the vice promoted by this world, they will intensify it and learn to wield it as a great weapon.

The hope of the actors behind this psyop is that as our society becomes more lumpenized, as more of the people come to rely upon renegade sources of income, these “superior specimens” will be able to apply their model of control from the Epstein abuse ring on a wider scale. Bruce Franklin described how such forces of ruling-class degeneracy seduce lumpenized men into becoming agents for their destructive designs, and how the working-class movement can also draw these individuals into revolutionary politics:

In Germany, the lumpenproletariat was the main source of shock troops for Naziism. Anyone who worships the spontaneity of unemployed youth should be reminded of the Brownshirts. In the United States, unemployed white youth are a fertile breeding place for the worst forms of racism, national chauvinism], and the cult of the super-male. This is particularly true in the South, in the urban areas into which the dispossessed rural whites have been driven, and in European ethnic neighborhoods. And among these people there is no clear dividing line between lumpenproletariat and white working class.

The Young Patriots and Young Partisans have shown that these people are capable of becoming not only revolutionaries but revolutionary leaders. And the only way for them to do this, as both groups have shown, is by organizing around the principle of serving the most oppressed and exploited people in American society. The lumpenproletariat know what it is to be on the bottom, to be mashed into the gutter by the whole weight of an imperialist structure. They share the degradation of the wretched of the whole earth. At every moment two paths are possible for them. One is to turn their hatred against other victims, against each other, against themselves. They can put on the uniform of the U.S. Marines and butcher Vietnamese peasants, they can prey on their brothers and sisters in the streets, or they can shoot their own veins full of poison. The other path is the path of their own liberation.

It is this task of providing an alternative path, of building organizational structures that can rescue someone from tragedy, that’s been undertaken by Haiti’s ascendant popular revolutionary movement. The central figure in this movement is Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, who deserves the credit for successfully uniting the gangs and leading a war against the colonial forces. To properly talk about the revolution Haiti is undergoing right now, though, we have to recognize the movement as a product of the country’s masses. U.S. propaganda has portrayed Barbecue as a monstrous criminal figure, equivalent to the CIA’s cartels; but if Barbecue’s power came from being a criminal butcher against the people, like is the case for the Epstein class and their lackeys, then he wouldn’t have the kind of broad support that he does.

His movement has been able to build a community-based structure for keeping neighborhoods safe, and has created a foundation for educating the youth. This has ended dependence on the colonial police, and has prevented youths from being taken in by the mercenary organizations of the fascist colonial forces. It’s directed the lumpen away from the dark paths, in a society that’s been lumpenized in extreme proportions. This is something that U.S. working-class organizers need to study in order to take Marxism into the future, and bring the American masses into the revolutionary struggle. Because the USA is absolutely on the path to becoming lumpenized, likely to the same degree that’s happened in Haiti. Our enemies understand this, and so they’ve put together a plan to politicize the criminal networks via right-wing infiltration. When it comes to winning in a lumpenized environment, the model that we can learn from is the one which Barbecue’s movement has developed.

The future is the Epstein class—with its basis in child sexual exploitation, organ trafficking, and other degenerate structures—vs the popular revolutionary movement, with its basis in the collective organizations that can lift impoverished communities out of their lumpen status. The American communist movement has already been going in the direction of replicating the Barbecue movement, as is evident in how prominent U.S. Marxist-Leninists have come out against the propaganda narratives about Barbecue. Our enemies have responded, of course, by depicting us as apologists for a monstrous leader; and they’ve found allies within the parts of Haitian society which hate Barbecue for personal reasons. In time, when American communism and its anti-Epstein coalition grow strong enough, the enemy will mobilize the layers in American society that would also oppose a revolutionary project.

Part of this layer will be the right-wing criminal structure, which the intelligence agencies have no doubt long been working to build. Another part of it will be the “excess” or lumpenized men who’ve been joining ICE en masse, which will let them take part in a legal paramilitary terrorist effort. These are the tools of America’s own “Jakarta method,” where a capitalist state carries out mass killings to crush the working class. Our task is to thwart this attempt at a purge by mastering the tools which have been presented to us; tools that came into existence because of America’s lumpenization, and can be used for either demonic evils or righteous resistance.
