Worked on the plunder of Russia in the 1990s. Afterwards, most Russians regarded him as "either an emissary of Satan or of the CIA." Chair of The Lancet's COVID-19 commission. Frequent guest on Tucker Carlson.

Jeffrey D. Sachs is an American economist and deep state actor who is a Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He was a panelist of the session on Economic Relations With Eastern Europe for the 1990 Bilderberg.[1][2]

Career

Plunder of the USSR

Sachs worked with Anders Åslund and David Lipton as a senior advisor to the Russian government under President Boris Yeltsin and Acting Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar on the privatisation of the USSR, and also advised Poland, Slovenia, and Estonia as they were beginning their transitions to capitalism.

The Russian privatization was one of the worst economic collapses in human history,for the benefit of a handful of US deep state actors. Living standards fell and the population shrank, an almost unprecedented event in a country not at war. Afterwards, most Russians regarded him as "either an emissary of Satan or of the CIA."[3]

Later Career

In later life, Sachs positioned himself as a prominent as a critic of development orthodoxy, arguing against the IMF's austere prescriptions after the 1997 Asian crisis, and pressing for debt relief for the poorest countries. Sachs has also pushed a number of initiatives, including establishing credit and microloan programs.

During the Greek government-debt crisis in July 2015, Sachs, with Heiner Flassbeck, Thomas Piketty, Dani Rodrik and Simon Wren-Lewis, published an open letter to the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, calling for an end to austerity measures in Greece to service debt[4].

Covid

Jeffrey Sachs was a chair of The Lancet's COVID-19 commission.[5] Sachs also selected Peter Daszak, who also worked at Columbia University as leader. "So I thought, Gee, it would be great if he would lead the task force," Sachs said.[6]

Opinions

War in Ukraine

In November 2024, Sachs explained in a 4-minute video how the US and NATO provoked war in Ukraine:

"It started in 1990, when US Secretary of State James Baker said to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move one inch eastward...

The US then cheated on this, starting in 1994, when Clinton signed off on a plan to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine.

The expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Then, the US led the bombing of Serbia in 1999. That was the use of NATO to bomb a European capital for 78 straight days to break the country apart.

The Russians didn't like that very much, but even Putin started out pro-European and pro-American. He considered whether to join NATO when there was still the idea of some kind of mutually respectful relationship.

In 2002, the US unilaterally walked out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. What it did was trigger the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a dire, direct threat to national security, by making possible a decapitation strike of missiles that are a few minutes away from Moscow.

In 2004-2005, the US engaged in a soft regime change in Ukraine, the so-called First Colour Revolution.

In 2009, Viktor Yanukovych won the election and became president in 2010 on the basis of neutrality in Ukraine.

In 2014, the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yanukovych. Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt talked about regime change. So they made the new government!

The US then said 'now NATO's really going to enlarge.' Putin kept saying 'stop, you promised no NATO enlargement.'

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, seven more countries in the 'not one inch eastward.'

In 2021, Putin put on the table a draft Russian-US security agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement.

The Special Military Operation started, and five days later Zelensky said 'okay, okay, neutrality.'

And then the US and Britain said no way, you guys fight on. We've got your back. That's 600,000 deaths now of Ukrainians since Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv to tell them to be brave. Absolutely ghastly.

We're not dealing with, as we're told every day, this madman like Hitler. This is complete bogus, fake history that is a purely PR narrative of the US government.

We're playing games here. So God forbid a nuclear power comes at us. I don't know what's going to happen, but we came at them."[7]

Ethnic cleansing in Gaza

In January 2024, Professor Sachs spoke out on "Israel's war and ethnic cleansing in Gaza". Interviewed by acTVism Munich on YouTube, he began by assessing the stalemate in the US Congress and the European Union on providing aid to Ukraine. He then talked about Israel's war in Gaza and about the significance of the recent United Nations resolutions and the US veto against them. He went on to talk about Israel's objective in Gaza as well as why the US continues to fully support it. He then discussed recent developments in civil liberties in relation to Israel and the Palestinian conflict in Germany and assessed why the West selectively invokes international law.[8]
