PAID DEEP DIVE: The Foreign Influence Opening Trump Created — Bigger Than Anyone Realizes

And the media still hasn’t put the pieces together.

PAID DEEP DIVE: The Foreign Influence Opening Trump Created — Bigger Than Anyone Realizes

And the media still hasn’t put the pieces together.

The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #673: Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.

If you listen closely…you can hear it.

Not in the headlines.
Not on cable news.
Not in the noisy performative hellscape of X.

It’s the sound of something enormous shifting beneath our feet…a foreign-influence earthquake…the mainstream hasn’t connected…can’t explain…or is too distracted to notice.

And that’s why you’re here.

Because what I’m about to show you isn’t a conspiracy…
It isn’t guesswork…
It isn’t “interpretation”…

It’s the documented…verifiable…timeline-based meltdown of America’s foreign-influence defenses…and the suspiciously timed actions that followed instantly on its heels.

Once you see the architecture…you won’t just understand the danger…

You’ll understand why the danger exists at all.

This isn’t “news.”
This is a pattern.
A predictable…authoritarian-pattern-of-movement that every intelligence analyst worth their salt…can spot from a mile away.

Today…I’m your translator.

Let’s begin.

I want you to understand something before we go any further:

You’re not crazy.
You’re not paranoid.
You’re not “overreacting.”

You’re SEEING correctly.

You’re watching the same events everyone else is watching…but…you’re actually interpreting the signals. The rest of the country is watching the dots; YOU’RE watching the lines that connect them.

You are in the category of American who understands that:

• democracy fails when oversight disappears

• foreign powers move when we sleep

• patterns matter

• timing matters

• silence matters

• and psychological tells matter most of all

So take a breath…plant your feet…and understand this:

You are ahead of the curve.
You are reading the battlefield correctly.
You are seeing what others will see months later.

You’re not the audience.

You’re the advance team.

Who Benefits

Every political scandal has a villain.

But every geopolitical scandal has a beneficiary.

Follow the beneficiaries and the truth becomes embarrassingly simple:

1. Russia benefits.

When you pull down the U.S. anti-disinfo firewall…
when you silence the watchdogs…
when you give Kremlin communicators a clear channel with a U.S. envoy…

Russia gets exactly what it wants:

*access
*influence
*messaging lanes
*and deniability

2. China benefits.

While we were tearing down our defenses…Beijing ramped up a massive influence operation in the Philippines…signaling exactly the type of hybrid warfare they intend to run globally.

A weakened America = an opportunistic China.

3. Authoritarians benefit.

Every authoritarian playbook begins with information control:

• eliminate the watchdogs

• isolate the media

• bypass official channels

• flood the public with emotional distraction

• create multiple points of confusion

By shutting down CFIMI…the U.S. unknowingly gave authoritarian states a green light.

4. Trump and his loyal orbit benefit.

Why? Because the less oversight there is…
the less pushback his inner circle faces…
the fewer investigative eyes are watching…
the more “private diplomacy” can happen off the books.

Trump thrives in chaos.
And foreign adversaries…thrive in Trump’s chaos.

5. The oil interests benefit.

No need to be dramatic.
Just factual.

The region at the center of all this?
The one being eyed…discussed…poked…and whispered about?
It’s not a coincidence that the word “oil” keeps falling out of people’s mouths like loose change.

Foreign nations want it.
American companies want it.
And political opportunists…want the leverage that comes with controlling the narrative around it.

Why The Timing Was Perfect

This is the part the mainstream hasn’t touched.

The U.S. Foreign Information Manipulation office didn’t get dismantled in some random bureaucratic shuffle.
