Key Notes
Jiang introduces Sabbatean Frankism, which he associates with Chabad-Lubavitch, as a faction aligned with Freemasonry in pursuit of one-world government.
Greg contrasts moral Gnosticism with the elite behaviors Jiang links to Sabbatean-Frankism, arguing that strict practices like fasting, sobriety, and bodily purity are meant to preserve spiritual connection rather than justify inversion.
Greg asks Jiang to demonstrate present-day continuity by naming influential modern people or structures that plausibly carry Sabbatean-Frankist logic rather than treating it as sealed eighteenth-century history.

The interview begins with an old historical puzzle and turns it into a present-tense accusation: dead sects do not stay dead when their stories, inversions, and elite habits get embedded in modernity.
