Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0023` - model: Jiang frames Jews in this lecture not as the ultimate empire but as a construct and tool of empire: middle managers who take blame while transnational capital keeps profit.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-pp0e1gb80wq@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - interpretation: Robespierre's death transforms him into scapegoat, martyr, and paragon of virtue; the guilt of killing him is transferred into renewed revolutionary sacrifice. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0023`, `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0024` - interpretation: Robespierre comes to see the Terror as corrupted by political intrigue, so saving the revolution requires his own ultimate sacrifice rather than seizure of power. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0071`, `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0072` - interpretation: Robespierre purifies the polluted energy of the Terror by becoming the scapegoat who takes guilt for the nation and allows France to move on. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0077`, `video:predictive-history-ef-ch2lgddi@transcript:v1#seg-0078` - prediction: He predicts Trump could manipulate his anti-war base back to him by blaming Nikki Haley, the deep state, or Israel for the Iran war.
