[The following is a transcript of the podcast, Trump and His Parliament of Psychos, which was originally posted on 10/31/2024. As I note, Trump’s 2nd administration “is going to be Lavrentiy Berias all the way down,” noting that the psychophants appointed to run the Defense Department when Trump was trying to steal the election in 2020—like Kash Patel—would return to his 2nd administration and be ready to enact Beria’s dictum, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.” I later repeated the comparison in “Pscyhophant,” a post focused on Patel. Recently and coincidentally, John Bolton has made the exact same point in The Wall Street Journal, comparing Patel to Beria and stressing that quote. The Beria/Patel comparison is a natural one to make, but importantly at “All the Mysteries That Remain” we provided this warning before the election —and before Patel, Beria, and Beria’s notorious quote became part of the zeitgeist.]
On December 10, John Bolton warned that Patel, as FBI director, would behave like Stalin’s notorious police chief, Lavarentiy Beria, and especially follow his dictum, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime” (tweets on right). We made that same point before the election and devoted a full post to Kash Patel as Psychophant on December 2nd (screenshot on left.)

Now, happy Halloween by the way. We are five days away from the 2024 election and I want to do at least one more post on Trump and on what
calls a soft autocracy. I also have not forgotten about North’s poem, the only purely original literary work of North that we now have. He wrote the poem in 1589, at the age of 54, and so still in the lovely autumn of his literary powers. And yes, it is extremely Shakespearean, and I cannot wait to show it to you and release it to the world. But I’m going to wait until after the election to release it so it has less competition for your attention.
Also, as always, I want to thank my frequent co-author and former editor of the Shakespeare Bulletin, June Schneider, as well as our North/Shakespeare research partner, investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Michael Blanding. I could not imagine engaging in this struggle with two more capable and fierce warriors, but I also want to extend a special thanks to Robert Beatty, Francis Murphy and Jacob Waller, all of whom have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get more eyes on the North discovery. They’re giving us simply for truth’s sake. They realize the significance of the discovery. I believe more people should be seeing it, and it’s only through people doing this that the North-view will survive or at the very least soon come to the world’s attention. It will be only through friends suggesting to friends to take a look at this and saying, “hey, there’s something really here and it’s big.” That’s the only way this will survive. The Shakespeare scholars, of course, have every incentive—emotional, financial, et cetera—to ignore this. So I very much appreciate all the people who have made others aware of this Subtack and the Thomas North book and discovery.
My previous post was titled: “Trump’s Coming Reign of Terror: If he wins, we will see mass-arrests of his political enemies.” Now I think the notion that Trump will turn his four-year reign into one long vendetta has a lot of evidence for it—and is in fact clearly true. But it is actually a fringe view (at least, outside of leftist circles)—even among sharpies and Trump realists. One notable exception is
, who has also posted a powerful article arguing the true dangers of a potential Trump-Part-Two.
And I do think I understand the reason it is still doubted by many rationalists. First of all, the left have hit the air raid sirens on every Republican candidate. And they have been specifically screaming that a vote for a Republican is a vote for fascism for decades. They called Ford a fascist. They called Reagan a fascist. They called Romney a “race-mongering pyromaniac,” a “serial-killer,” and “Mitt-the-Ripper.” That’s Mitt-Milk-Drinking Romney. But an even more significant reason is that such a reign of terror has just not occurred in our lifetimes. We all survived Trump Part One—and a steady prosecution of a political hit list just feels too big—too otherworldly—to be true. Indeed, there seems something Cassandran about my claim of a coming reign of terror, and it is reasonable in the face of predictions of an extreme and unique event to bet the other side.
