PeePee Will Get on your Shoes Everytime, And Your Like It

STEP 2: Psychological Profile of Pierre Poilievre and his Indirect Utility to Foreign Actors

2A. Personality and Political Style

To understand how foreign actors might strategically utilize Pierre Poilievre's profile, we need to dissect both his public persona and psychological traits.

Traits Based on Rhetoric and Behavior:

  • High Dominance (Authoritarian Tendencies): Poilievre often uses strong, combative language to position himself as a leader who stands against the "elite," which appeals to those frustrated with the status quo. This positions him well to be leveraged by foreign actors who benefit from weakening liberal, technocratic institutions.

  • Anti-Establishment: He frequently targets institutions (like the Bank of Canada or the CBC), echoing populist themes that delegitimize mainstream authority figures and institutions. This parallels tactics used by Russia and China to erode trust in liberal democratic systems.

  • Focus on Economic Nationalism: Poilievre's advocacy for economic sovereignty and less regulation resonates with foreign interests like Russia’s need for less Western oversight, and China’s desire for fewer restrictions on its economic expansion.

2B. Ego Protection and Plausible Deniability

  • Deliberate Denial of Influence: Poilievre has maintained a plausible deniability approach regarding any foreign influence—he consistently portrays himself as independent of any foreign ties, a characteristic that would be attractive to foreign powers aiming to maintain indirect influence while avoiding detection.

  • Appeal to the Populist Narrative: His anti-globalist rhetoric—positioning himself as the defender of Canadian sovereignty against foreign elites—aligns well with the strategic interests of foreign powers wishing to create division between Canada and its allies.

2C. How Foreign Powers Would Exploit His Personality

  • Psychological Leverage: Poilievre’s psychological profile—anti-elite, combative, and populist—would make him an ideal candidate to be manipulated via narrative control. These traits make him a figure who believes himself to be above external manipulation, thus making him a useful instrument for indirect influence.

  • Vulnerability to Disinformation: Individuals with strong political convictions against “elitism” or “globalism” are often more susceptible to narratives that feed into their worldview—making him a potential conduit for foreign propaganda, even without direct involvement.


STEP 3: Foreign Disinformation Playbook as It Appears in Canada

Now that we have Poilievre’s psychological traits mapped, let’s explore how Russia and China might deploy their disinformation strategies to exert influence indirectly, using Poilievre as a possible unwitting amplifier of their agendas.

3A. Russian Disinformation Playbook

  • Information Warfare (Hybrid Tactics): Russia has a long history of using disinformation to divide Western societies, particularly through online manipulation and media channels. This includes:

    • Pushing divisive rhetoric: Such as anti-establishment narratives, calls for populist rebellion, or victimizing nationalistic rhetoric.

    • Targeting key figures: Disinformation might involve amplifying the most polarizing narratives—for instance, Carney’s globalism or Trudeau’s ties to international organizations—which may play into Poilievre’s narrative of "elites."

    • Exploiting Political Divides: By focusing on wedge issues like immigration or national identity, Russia could intentionally stoke tensions between left and right to prevent unified democratic opposition.

Case Example: Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election highlighted their use of microtargeting through social media. They utilized divisive issues to push populist candidates who could destabilize Western alliances, an approach that could be mirrored in Canada.

3B. Chinese Disinformation Playbook

  • United Front Tactics: Through diaspora manipulation, China can subtly influence public opinion, particularly among ethnic Chinese communities, to support candidates who are more amenable to Beijing’s political and economic interests.

    • Economic Pressure and Soft Power: China also leverages its economic clout by using investments or trade relations to subtly push pro-China narratives, both within media and public discourse.

    • Suppressing Opposition to China: Discrediting those who criticize China’s human rights abuses or its geopolitical ambitions (e.g., in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang) is key to China’s disinformation operations.

Case ExampleWeChat has become a primary channel for Chinese-language disinformation in Canada. The spread of false or misleading narratives can align with pro-populist rhetoric that undermines Carney’s technocratic approach.

3C. Techniques and Methods to Influence Poilievre’s Narrative

  1. Botnet Amplification:

    • Social media bots can push right-wing populist messages, amplifying Poilievre’s anti-establishment stances, while masking the origin of the narrative.

    • Using fake accounts, coordinated messaging campaigns could support Poilievre’s rise and sabotage his opponents, especially Carney, by linking him to globalist elites.

  2. Narrative Control via Outlets and Influencers:

    • Foreign actors can promote pro-Poilievre narratives through media outlets and influencers who are aligned with anti-globalist or anti-establishment rhetoric.

    • These influencers might inadvertently serve as vectors for foreign-backed narratives, using local issues (e.g., immigration, climate change) to push broader strategic interests.


Next Steps to Investigate:

  • Step 4: Soft Signals & Anomalies: Identifying digital footprints and any suspicious social media activity connected to these disinformation campaigns.

  • Step 5: The Mark Carney Threat Axis: Deep dive into why foreign actors focus on smearing Carney specifically and its geopolitical rationale.

  The Psychohistory of a Global Economy: Predictions and Realities




In 1989, I undertook the ambitious task of applying psychohistorical equations to the global economic system, inspired by the foundational theories of Isaac Asimov. Unlike the past, where economic models focused on national or bilateral comparisons—such as Country A against Country B, or occasionally regional economic blocs—by the late 20th century, the world economy had transformed into a singular, interconnected entity. The increasing integration of financial markets, supply chains, and multinational corporations rendered traditional economic theories insufficient for understanding the true dynamics of global events. My premise was that economic and geopolitical events could no longer be analyzed in isolation but had to be understood as part of a complex, interwoven system.

Using psychohistorical modeling, I was able to predict several major economic crises with striking accuracy. One of the most significant foresights was the 2008 financial crisis. The growing reliance on intricate financial instruments, combined with deregulation and reckless speculation, had created an unsustainable system poised for collapse. When the subprime mortgage bubble burst, the ensuing crisis spread rapidly, reinforcing my hypothesis that economic shocks were no longer confined to national borders but reverberated across the entire world.

Another crucial prediction concerned the unraveling of the Hong Kong handover agreement in 2020. The 1997 transfer of sovereignty from Britain to China was based on the principle of "one country, two systems," a precarious arrangement that, through psychohistorical analysis, I determined would not withstand the pressures of an increasingly authoritarian Chinese government and mounting domestic resistance. As expected, the events of 2020 saw the effective dismantling of Hong Kong’s autonomy, with severe consequences for both its economy and the broader global market.

A more complex prediction involved what I termed the "rough pandemic window," spanning from 2015 to 2025. Though the exact timing remained uncertain, my models indicated a high probability of a global health crisis during this period. The emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 confirmed this forecast. The pandemic disrupted economies, accelerated shifts in labor and technology, and further exposed the vulnerabilities of an interdependent world system.

However, the most significant prediction, where all my equations ultimately converged, was the economic collapse of March 2025—a crisis of unprecedented scale that would mark the breaking point of the current global economic structure. Unlike previous recessions or downturns, this event was not merely a cyclical correction but a fundamental rupture, the culmination of decades of unresolved systemic weaknesses. Whether driven by geopolitical tensions, debt crises, energy shortages, or an unpredictable black swan event, the collapse of 2025 was the inevitable conclusion of a system that had long ignored its underlying fragility.

As the present unfolds, the world is witnessing the fulfillment of these projections. The interconnected web of the global economy, once seen as a strength, has become its greatest liability. The failure to adapt economic theories to this reality has led to repeated miscalculations, leaving nations unprepared for the cascading crises that continue to unfold. The world stands at a crossroads, and unless new frameworks for economic understanding emerge, the collapse of 2025 may only be the beginning of a more profound transformation yet to come.

Psychohistorical Collapse: How China’s Economic Overreach Triggers a Global Reset

The Psychohistorical Collapse: How China’s Economic Overreach Triggers a Global Reset

The Discovery of the Equation

History is not chaos. It is a sequence, a pattern, a predictable arc written in data long before it manifests in headlines. Few recognized this inevitability early, and fewer still attempted to quantify it. One such attempt emerged in an unpublished 1991 paper written in Toronto—an amateur exploration of psychohistory, but one that uncovered something deeper. The author, Scholz, discovered an equation—a minor component of a larger, unspoken calculus—that, when applied, revealed an unavoidable outcome: collapse.

Not just any collapse, but the one we now witness in 2025. The end of China’s economic overreach. The failure of a debt-saturated global system. The final, inexorable step in a sequence that scholars ignored, but the numbers never did.

Gibsonian Hyperreality: The Collapse in Real-Time

The collapse is not an event but a sensation—a slow-motion implosion unfolding across stock tickers, social feeds, and emergency policy meetings. In the span of days, China’s banking sector, built on the scaffolding of hidden debt, buckles under its own weight. The reverberations cross oceans: Blackstone watches its real estate empire crumble, U.S. markets spiral into liquidity panic, and European banks scramble for insulation that doesn’t exist.

Algorithmic trading, designed to mitigate risk, accelerates the carnage. The financial system is no longer managed by people but by machine logic running recursive loops of panic. And yet, for those outside the financial elite, the collapse doesn’t arrive as a shock. It arrives as a confirmation. The housing market was always unsustainable. The tech sector was always overinflated. The illusion of stability was always just that—an illusion.

Asimov’s Psychohistorical Inevitability: The Mathematics of the Fall

Asimov envisioned psychohistory as a tool to foresee not individual actions, but societal arcs. The fall of China’s economy, then, was never about the choices of investors, politicians, or central planners. It was a statistical certainty.

Scholz’s 1991 equation identified the pressure points decades in advance. The unraveling of China’s housing market wasn’t just a property crash—it was a signal in a broader pattern. The debt leverage ratio, the exponential expansion of ghost cities, the unsustainable reliance on state-controlled economic buffers—all variables pointing to the same conclusion.

New York’s real estate crash, where buildings in East Harlem were suddenly worth 97% less than their previous valuations, was not an isolated event. It was a microcosm of the larger collapse. Florida’s temporary economic resilience was not a sign of stability, but the eye of the storm. The equation had already determined the trajectory; it was only a matter of time before reality caught up.

 Human Fallout: The Post-Collapse Reality

For the elite, the collapse is a series of numbers. For the average citizen, it is an eviction notice. A job loss. An empty grocery store. The financial class, buffered by offshore accounts and insider knowledge, attempts to escape the wreckage. The working class, long abandoned by the dream of upward mobility, watches as their world burns.

And yet, every collapse is also a genesis. Underground markets rise. Decentralized systems take hold. The death of one economy forces the birth of another. In the shadows of ruined institutions, those who understood the equation—who saw it coming—begin shaping what comes next.

The collapse was not random. It was not avoidable. It was an equation written decades ago. And now, in 2025, that equation has reached its inevitable solution.
