There are more psyops flooding social media than you could shake two sticks at. Corporate media is running a stealthy “chaos” narrative. It is a trick and an illusion. There’s no chaos. There is a plan, and the plan is working

Which brings me to The Great Game™ and The Plan™. Despite what the history books and articles on the internet say, The Great Game™ is not dead and The Plan™ is POTUS Trump’s counter.

As I have pointed out before TRADE ROUTES are critical. Ships are the way that most goods travel and good trade routes, especially ocean trade routes are ‘protected’ by the British Empire/Transnational Corporations. They use The Great Game to protect those trade routes using subterfuge, psyops and proxies.

Why the Cape of Good Hope Was a Death Trap for Sailors (21 minutes)

The Cape of Good Hope is one of the most feared and misunderstood headlands in maritime history. Famous for its brutal storms, powerful currents, and deadly reputation, it has challenged sailors for centuries. Located at the southern tip of Africa, this headland became a turning point in global trade, navigation, and exploration. But why did so many ships wreck here? And what secrets still linger along its coastline? This video explains the full story from Bartolomeu Dias’s historic voyage to the modern tourist landmarks seen today. Learn about the shipwrecks that never made it past the cape, the explorers who gambled with nature, and the lasting impact this location had on maritime routes and colonial empires.


And if you think the Cape of Good Hope was bad, Drake Passage, around the tip of South America is worse!

Why Even Modern Ships Fear the Drake Passage (15 minutes)

Between South America and Antarctica lies this infamous stretch—800 ships lost, over 10,000 lives claimed. But what makes it so deadly? And why do explorers, scientists, and adventurers still risk everything to face it? In this video, we explore the geological origins, harrowing shipwrecks, historic crossings, and the legendary Antarctic expeditions that battled its wrath—from the fate of the San Telmo and HMS Wager, to the desperate escape of Shackleton’s crew aboard the Endurance. You’ll also discover the chilling story of the Belgica, the first vessel to overwinter in Antarctica, trapped for nearly a year in the ice beyond the Drake.

As you can see, digging a canal thru Panama and thru the Suez was very attractive to merchants.

The idea of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama dates back to the 1500s, when Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the narrow land-bridge in 1513
, realizing it could connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. — BRAVE AI

Quicky by Encyclopedia Britannica
Panama Canal | Definition, History, Ownership, Treaty.


Panama Canal, lock-type canal, owned and administered by the Republic of Panama, that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the narrow Isthmus of Panama. The length of the Panama Canal from shoreline to shoreline is about 40 miles (65 km) and from deep water in the Atlantic (more specifically, the Caribbean Sea) to deep water in the Pacific about 50 miles (82 km). The canal, which was completed in August 1914, is one of the two most strategic artificial waterways in the world, the other being the Suez Canal. 

Ships sailing between the east and west coasts of the United States, which otherwise would be obliged to round Cape Horn in South America, shorten their voyage by about 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km) by using the canal. Savings of up to 3,500 nautical miles (6,500 km) are also made on voyages between one coast of North America and ports on the other side of South America. Ships sailing between Europe and East Asia or Australia can save as much as 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) by using the canal…

So what has POTUS Trump been targeting? The Panama Canal, Greenland and the Arctic passage and now the Suez Canal.

NOW do you understand why the Brits, NATO and the EU are having conniption fits over POTUS’s attack on Iran?

X is a superb read. Check it out.

Readers Digest version of Trump taking charge, Globally.

THE DONROE DOCTRINE JUST WENT LIVE AND IT’S A FUCKING MASTERCLASS IN LETHAL AMERICAN SUPREMACY.

While the world was hypnotized by bombs and headlines, President Trump dropped the hammer:

Effective IMMEDIATELY, the U.S. Development Finance Corporation is underwriting cheap political risk insurance for EVERY maritime trade route through the Persian Gulf…energy first, no exceptions.

Navy escorts through the Strait of Hormuz on standby. Free flow of oil secured by American guns, American capital, American will.

This isn’t “diplomacy”. This is the Donroe Doctrine…Trump’s iron-fisted evolution of the Monroe Doctrine, but projected across the planet’s most critical chokepoint. No more foreign powers…Chinese proxies, Iranian fanatics, or London parasites…dictating terms in America’s economic sphere…

I am going to get into a video that looks at the financial aspects. This is a fan made synopsis of episode 1,984 with Col Watkins, Luongo, EMB 1 minute You may want to slow it down.

(The colonel says very little as the financial guys get into the nitty gritty.)

….

This is the actual 2 hr video. It is pretty deep into the financial octopus and how it works. Much of it is an interesting conversation between E. M. Burlingame and Tom Luongo. My biggest take away was at 50 minutes.

At 50 minutes: “The most powerful law in the English world is TRUST LAW…TRUST COURTS…. going back to William the Conqueror. THAT IS WHY THEY WENT TO EPSTEIN FOR TAX ADVICE. He was a master as was Paul Helliwell and Maxwell. At 57 minutes they get into WHY the Commonwealth freaked when Trump said he wanted Canada as 51st state. Ontario has a lot of accessible GOLD in the ground. The financial system is ultimately built on contracts & trusts based on the assets IN THE GROUND. If they are in the ground, how do you steal them?”

Helliwell was a lawyer, a banker and CIA.

Tradebait should really find this video interesting.

Counterchaos | Col. Watkins, Susan Kokinda (Tommy’s PodCast #1,986) (1 hour)

I want to place this snippet near the top since it is of major interest.

TRANSCRIPT

53:32 – Colonel Watkins

I’ve noticed in my research and I mentioned it earlier, the whole strategy of tension and creating the chaos [False Flags –GC] so that you can make order out of that chaos. It’s almost like we’ve turned the tables on the people that did that for nefarious reasons. There’s a certain amount of chaos that gets generated in each of these different departments. [For example] homeland security but you can see the order forming out of it that is much more positive. So it [the targeting] looks like this scattergram of these pockets of picking up all of these illegals, you know the rapists and terrorists and stuff like that. But if you overlay that [scattergram] with the research that I’ve done into the terror networks. The cells in the United States and the drug networking, the narco pieces, that’s a perfect overlay of where these operations are going on. And if you’re going to change the interior of the United States and transition us out of living in fear. [Out of] having easy access to narcotics and stuff like that, you would not be doing anything any differently. It looks chaotic, but it is in a very controlled way. I mean, when you’re breaking an old system, it’s going to look messy. Yes? But if the intention is to do something better, which clearly it is the case with this administration… And you look at it kind of like the Phoenix Program where you burn it down to rebuild it in to the global order. that’s not what’s happening here. We are destroying their Phoenix Program.

SEE: Operation Phoenix – MonkeyWerx

3:30 Susan Kakinda:

Obviously the whole world is looking at the president’s actions in Iran, and I I just think it’s really important for people to first of all take this administration at face value. They’re saying what they’re doing. They are saying, “This is not regime change.” Pete Hegth said, “I’ve lived in perpetual wars. This is not a perpetual war. This is a strategic strike against what has been for decades a fulcrum of intelligence operations that have been used by the globalists to keep the Middle East in flames and to have a larger trigger point in general. Now, you know what precipitated the immediate timing of this? Again, I choose to take people like Marco Rubio and Steve Whit face value. They said, “We tried to negotiate. We offered them free enriched uranium if they want to have a civilian nuclear program. They rejected it and at a certain point you just pull the trigger. Um you know the the other thing I would contrast taking the administration at face value in terms of why they’re doing what they’re doing and what they did is let’s look at the regime changers. Look at people like John Bolton. Look at Britain’s Chattam House. Look at, you know, one of the people who probably has one of the most severe cases of TDS and Apple Balm of the Atlantic. You know, all of them are hysterical that this is not their playbook. This is something else. Now, how is it going to play out? It’s a war. I don’t know. Um, can it go sideways? Sure, it could go sideways. Could it end up having a bad effect on the midterm elections if it goes sideways? Of course, it will. But the key thing about President Trump is he’s a risktaker. I think he takes the risks for the right reasons and we’re just going to have to see where this goes.

5:36 — Colonel Watkins.

I agree with everything Susan just said. What I do is look at things historically and how these entities has manifested themselves over time. The understanding that where we’ve been. I was kind of shocked when I started digging into the post 1980 financial ties of the EU to Iran. [Big grin on Susan’s Face.] , They continued. I’m talking about what we’re sold in the United States as this evil empire in Iran ran by the mulluhs. If that is true, (and they’re definitely evil,) why did the EU continue through cutouts to massively trade with them? And they did. [Susan nods] And during this entire time, if you go back and you look at the 1980 Reagan-Bush administration selling missiles to them through cutouts. You just see this perpetual engagement basically on a military/intelligence use of Iran. Iran became very convenient because basically through sanctions, you’re not allowed to affiliate with them. But on the underneath side of that, that perpetuated the CIA’s [use.]

I just posted about this this morning, Crypto AG, the encrypted communication [device] that was fielded all

over the world and was still being used by Iran with a back door for the CIA to monitor everything that they were doing.

…..

A quick look at Crypto AG.

Operation Rubicon: The most Successful intelligence heist of the 20th century

I can not copy from that site so here is Brave AI

Operation Rubicon was a covert intelligence operation conducted by the CIA and BND (West German intelligence), widely regarded as the most successful intelligence heist of the 20th century.  It began in the 1950s with a secret “Gentlemen’s Agreement” between CIA cryptologist William Friedman and Crypto AG founder Boris Hagelin, and culminated in the 1970 secret purchase of the Swiss encryption company by the CIA and BND. This allowed them to manipulate Crypto AG’s cipher machines—sold to over 120 countries—to include hidden backdoors, enabling the U.S. and Germany to intercept and decrypt diplomatic, military, and intelligence communications worldwide. 

The operation, code-named Thesaurus initially and later Rubicon, provided unprecedented access to global secrets for over 50 years, influencing major Cold War events such as the Camp David Accords (1978), the Iran Hostage Crisis (1979), the Berlin Discotheque bombing (1986), and the 1973 Chilean coup.  The CIA described it as the “intelligence coup of the century”, with foreign governments unknowingly paying for the privilege of having their most sensitive communications read by at least two, and possibly up to six, foreign powers. 

The operation ended in 2018, though revelations only emerged in 2020 through investigative reporting by ZDF, SRF, and The Washington Post, based on a 280-page intelligence dossier.  Despite ethical concerns—such as the imprisonment of Crypto AG employee Hans Bühler in Iran and the compromise of allies—the operation is considered a landmark in signals intelligence (SIGINT), reshaping perceptions of Cold War espionage and highlighting the central role of Germany in global intelligence. —

WB: “So you know, this is just a mess we’re in. I mean, we have created—these intelligence agencies fundamentally are not controllable by any government in the world. Their own agencies they can’t control.”

BACK TO TRANSCRIPT

7:20 Colonel Towner:

So again, and these are my words, but it almost seems like Iran, much like the former Soviet Union, becomes this boogeyman in which all of this funding — well, if you’re not trading with them, they would have a whole lot less funds — perpetuated this radical Islamic terror. [And] after the 1990s,[it became] the new boogeyman because the Soviet Union was gone. [Thus] perpetuating the strategy of tension and perpetual chaos. Decapitating that, which is basically what we’re doing right now. I agree with Susan. You have to take President Trump at face value. He is telling you exactly what we’re doing. And he is piece by piece eliminating the chessboard of this behind-the-scenes manipulation of all of us across the world, not just the United States, not just Europe, and not just Asia, all of us collectively.

8:40 Susan Kokinda

If you go back to President Trump’s first administration and his first foreign trip which you know was kind of surprising because it was to Saudi Arabia. You know you expect our European allies or Japan or whatever. And what did he do? He went to Saudi Arabia and he laid down the law because the Saudi support for Islamic fundamentalism was real. They had much more to do with 9/11 than poor Saddam Hussein. Uh, and he went to Saudi Arabia and he said, “That’s it. It’s over. You are no longer going to support Islamic terrorism.” So, even going back that far, he was starting to take these chess pieces off the chessboard.[Colonel Towner nodding] And go back even further, of course, you know, the mother of Islamic terrorism is the Brits.The British created the Muslim Brotherhood going all the way back to 1922. [The Colonel grins,nods and says right] So these are big moves. It’s also very entrenched.

But I think the important thing, as the colonel said, is don’t look at it inside the immediate news cycle. Look at it from the standpoint that, the British Great Game always creates pawns. Whether it’s Muslim fundamentalism or something [like] Adolf Hitler who turned into a Frankenstein monster. [The Colonel grins and nods] And that doesn’t mean you don’t have Frankenstein monster situations. Out of control operations that then turn around and bite you on the butt like Hitler did.

But if you pull back the curtain on all of this and you look at what President Trump was doing deliberately, to the extent he could in his first administration. He didn’t have that much of an ability because he was under attack immediately. And he had a bunch of idiots in his administration like John Bolton. [Colonel giggles] This administration is very different. This is his team. They are executing.

I’m sure the colonel appreciates the fact that you never hear any leaks when it comes to negotiating [Colonel laughs and says NEVER] NOTHING, this is locked down tight because they are executing. They are deliberately moving step by step by step. Including working with people — you know we’ve discussed this and I’m sure you’ve discussed it, if you’ve been on shows with Tom Luongo and Alex Krainer. You look at Syria, and you sit there and say, “What is he doing working with this guy?” But then you say, “Okay, he knows these –or Erdogan,– people who have been, or [are] capabilities for the British Great Game. He’s taking those pieces away from them. Doesn’t mean they’ve reformed, but he’s taking those pieces away from them.”

11:20 Colonel Towner

And I think that’s a critical point. My assessment of Trump’s first term was basically exposing what people like to refer to as the deep state. I call it the international syndicate. Putting the people that represent them, like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and those people, front and center. And I think that in many ways the leaks, which was a kind of a colander during his first administration. [It] was [used for] tracing those networks and where they all ended up so that he has a complete view of the playing field for this second term. I think that’s critically important.

I don’t think most people, [know our real history.] Our history is basically a total lie in the United States. As far as what our government –and by government I’m primarily focusing on the CIA, which I argue doesn’t even actually work for the president in the past. [The CIA] in the past has perpetuated all over the world these regime change operations and stuff like that. [And our ‘official’ history does not cover that -GC.]


So, I see that Trump did that in Venezuela and John Bolton and Mike Pompeo set that up in Venezuela. I think he was highlighting for the American people this exposure operation of how these people operate. And I think for the first time during Trump’s first administration, many Americans, I know certainly in my family was like, “What the heck is going on?” Because most presidents, who in the past have been part of this operation, work with the mockingbird media and they hide all of this. It was literally what has been going on since post World Warii. [Trump put it] front and center on every news cycle. And I think that was very revealing to prepare the battlefield for Trump’s second term. And to your point about him going to the Middle East, because it wasn’t just Saudi Arabia. I mean, it’s Qatar. And he signed the executive order saying that if anybody attacks Qatar, it’s like they’re [attacking us] And you see all of the neocons come out of the woodwork. Oh my gosh. Qatar’s training pilots.

At first it came out that they established a Qatari air force base in Idaho. I’m like no, no no we train pilots. I enlisted in 1979. I was in aircraft maintenance. We were training Jordanians and everybody else in my tech school so we’ve done that obviously for a very long time. So you can see it’s again an exposure operation. The neocons that are out there pretending to be MAGA are the ones that leap out with the most audacious, ridiculous assessments of everything that’s going on.

This most recent with Iran and the Atlantic [Mag] coming out saying he doesn’t know anything that he’s doing. Well, just look at the board of the Atlantic Council. It has just about every retired CIA director that is still breathing. They’re going to tell you what the talking points are from their perspective, which literally has nothing to do with reality.

14:50 Tommy:

It’s that very beautiful game being played, but it’s also a complex game. It’s not as simple as there’s the evil guy headquarters, a big castle on a hill and we just have to, you know, find our balls and go fight it. It’s by design. It’s much more intelligent. It’s an illusion of control. It’s the idea that there is no mockingbird media. What are you talking about? We don’t have state-run media. We have blah blah blah. That’s also much harder to fight against. Because openly, if you just start attacking these things, you’re going to look like the guy going against freedom.

But, you know, there is police brutality, but in the funniest way. Like a lot of body cam [footage] you see is when you know some dude that looks like me getting drunk outside of a bar and then he gets punched in the face. You’re like, he was kind of asking for it, man. I’ve been pulled over. Even if you’ve done nothing, you understand. It’s, here’s a cop with a gun on the side of a highway. You’re not exactly at a peaceful area. Go along, talk about it. And then at the end, they’re like, “Oh, yeah. You’re good to go.” in a funny way. It’s actually illuminated more than any amount of anecdotal evidence ever could.

It’s much harder to do that, but it’s how you unwind it. That’s what a lot of this was. Nothing as we just said, Colonel, is like a lot of this stuff [that] was theorized by crazy people like me that didn’t go to prom and was reading Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner instead. I actually did that. It’s a lot harder to show because you have to go through this very slow. But then you look at where we are now everything from Russian collusion to COVID to the stolen election to more and more and more it’s just one by one you’re seeing these things. It’s a very long and slow process but that’s what’s needed.

16:40 Susan Kokindra

And one of the probably most critical factor in the whole thing is none of this would have come out if it weren’t for the courage of Donald Trump. You force it into the open because you actually fight. Every other previous president either capitulated to it or got shot. You know, Ronald Reagan, it was a little bit of both. He got shot and then, increasingly he capitulated to it or really wasn’t in control, especially in his second term. But that the unique characteristic. Because I think as you said people are experiencing it. I’ve talked about it for 50 years. It was a little teeny tiny part of the population that was ready for it. Then a large part of the population goes in there, supports Donald Trump sees all the things that happened to him, sees more happen to him, see him stand up and fight, forcing more and more of this out into the open.

[I am going to add, I think the 2008 mortgage crisis was the wake-up for a lot of people. We had the Tea Party, that the Elite tried to shut down by calling them racist and by starting up the AstroTurf group called ‘Occupy Wall Street’ It did not matter the Bank Bailouts using OUR MONEY was the shock that woke a lot of people up. — GC]

I think Trump is very conscious of that. I think he recognizes the role of populations as a strategic factor. He can do more when he’s got a population backing him. And that’s why all this disinformation crap, inside the MAGA movement is frankly one of the most dangerous things. It’s not the batshit crazy Democrats. They’re a given factor, right? But you know it’s the Tucker Carlsons and the MTGs [and] whatever is motivating them. The effect that it has is, if he can rely less on his base, that is an actual strategic factor.


But you look at it globally, a lot of people say, well Marco Rubio was much more conciliatory toward the Europeans. I frankly I don’t think he was conciliatory. But compared to JD Vance the tone was much less [harsh.] I think what Marco Rubio was doing, and this is I think the way the president functions, he wasn’t talking to the European leaders. He wasn’t talking to Kier Starmer or Macron. He was talking to the people. He was basically saying we need Europe to return to its traditions. You are a factor. Maybe you could change the direction of your country. I think Trump, the president and his administration are always, you know, thinking in those terms. I mean, even in terms of Israel, you know, at one point Trump said, “I’m more popular in Israel than Bibi Netanyahu.” And I’m sure that’s true. And he needs to become even more popular to be able to deal with that situation. But, you know, he I think he takes that into account.

19:20 Colonel Towner

So, I think the the first sign that everything had changed. That we weren’t any longer rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic was Trump’s fake news campaign.[laughter] Because that started instantly. It was my signal that everything had changed. He took on the mocking bird media.

19:45 Tommy:

That’s the most important control mechanism.

19:55 Colonel Towner:

It is. I was shocked and I knew everything had changed the day I heard him call out fake news. If you go back in time back to post World War II with the psychological strategy board, this has always been an operation to control our minds. And as soon as he pulled up that battle flag with the fake news, I was just enthralled that finally we have someone that’s going to take on this entire institution and dismantle it. I think that was critical.. because everything is downstream from that. It’s almost impossible prior to President Trump and the fake news campaign to find real news. Obviously Elon buying X has kicked that into high gear. But that was just like a fundamental shift of the axis for all of us to operate under. It allows people like Susan to have much more exposure in talking about reality as opposed to what is being shoved down our throats through the mockingbird media.

21:25 Susan Kokinda

It’s absolutely the case. I’ll just reflect on my own experience.

For 40 years, you feel like a voice in the wilderness, right? Donald Trump comes along and basically breaks the matrix, and then what you see, and we all see this in terms of the kinds of responses that we get, in the various venues and forums that we’re on, people are so hungry to put the pieces together. It’s like they knew it. They knew something. One of the most visceral responses I got was the show I did in response to Marco Rubio’s Munich speech where I picked up on the fact that he said de-industrialization was a conscious policy. It wasn’t a mistake. My mind went back. [To the] Council on Foreign Relations 1977, [who said] the control disintegration of the world economy is a legitimate objective so we can destroy sovereign nations. And when I did that show, the comments that I got were where you could just see people were saying, you know, that’s what I thought. I knew it, but you’ve now given voice to the fact that the horror that I’ve lived through, this process of disintegration of the United States and other countries was not random. And and that’s one of the key, tools of the elites. They want people to feel helpless. It’s a random world. Shit happens.

It certainly was for my generation. That’s what they tried to do with us with the two Kennedy assassinations. You’re sitting there, 14 years old, the president gets killed [by a] crazy lone assassin. The world is supposed to go on. I was campaigning for Bobby Kennedy senior in ’68 in California when he was shot. And again they try and shove it down your throat and you have no place to validate the fact that YOU KNOW these were conspiracies.

I had a friend who was eight at the time JFK was shot. He said to me, the minute I saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald I knew it was a conspiracy. I was 8 years old, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist but you couldn’t do anything about it. Nobody would validate it. You got the you’re crazy treatment like Mark Lane who tried to expose the Kennedy assassination. So you just sort of spiral into this hopelessness.

This is what they certainly did to my generation. Because what comes in on the heels of that? [Vietnam –GC] the rock-drug-sex counterculture. Forget about being a productive person. Thinking about the future. Thinking about raising a family. Just turn on, drop out, get stoned and get screwed. I mean that’s basically what they told us. And unless you have some some way to begin to put the picture together, and it’s very hard to do as an individual. I’d say maybe 5% of the American population kind of hung on through those years. And then Donald Trump comes along and the lid blows off and people are saying, “Thank God, I wasn’t crazy. This was this was deliberate.” And now that it’s knowable, we can do something about it.

25:00 Tommy:

The courage point is the most important point. Like I’ve seen just through this podcast, the podcast’s a little over six years old. Right into the immediate baptism by fire. I was interviewing Dr. Malone and Dr. Mercola. I was banned from YouTube for them before they ever even went on Joe Rogan. And it was just, I knew it was wrong and getting on these doctors and I was going up the chain of command like maybe this doctor thinks. The higher and higher I went the worse and worse the red alarms were getting and I was like wait I thought eventually one of them was going to be like it’s not that. The higher and higher until I got the guy with the patent and he was this is evil and I was well shit and like doing that and I knew it was wrong and again it’s the courage. They had a lot more to lose than me. It’s the courage and as it comes out more now we look at it as just fact.

You do have to look back at. The guys that they were at the beginning, it’s like in chemistry lab. It’s called the point of nucleation it’s where you put in a little piece of metal or plastic. It’s like putting a piece of ice in a cold cup of water and then it all forms off of that. In the same way now you have to put yourself back in 2020 and be thinking of how insane the PSYOPs were. But if you know what you know now and you’re like hey the sooner everyone starts to talk about it, all the people just under the surface, they’re going to nucleate to that, and then it becomes self-evident.

You have to understand that’s where we are now with whatever the next thing is. So if you feel it’s wrong, understand that most people around you probably also feel it’s wrong, but they all think they’re alone, just as you think you’re alone. So you have to be courageous and say something. The quicker [you do, the quicker] I believe the veil will come off. And Back to the whole media, what you were saying Colonel Watkins is how do you make people feel lonely? Well, if you control the messaging of everything and the media goes 99% of people think Donald Trump’s retarded. If you’re going, I kind of like him. You’re like, I guess I’ll shut up. I don’t want to be, you know, I don’t want to be that guy. I don’t want to be uninvited to the party.

27:00 Colonel Towner

Definitely on purpose. So, back to Susan’s point about the 60s again. The psychological operations, all of it was planned. Just like what she was saying about the deindustrialization, all of it is planned. And my light bulb moment in all of this was going back and reading the Fabian Society’s agenda. And you find out as early as the late 1800s, they’re talking about one world government. I was shocked by that. I’d never even heard of the Fabian Society, but they talked about eugenics. they talked about, basically controlling the population and controlling people’s reproduction. And then you go back and you realize that there were test cases, if you will. They were being done throughout the early 1900s in the United States. Like with the indigenous population in America, where we were taking women and children off of Indian reservations and educating them basically in boarding schools to make them not indigenous, to make them more mainstream. So the was a conscious decision to break down cultural heritages across the globe. This has been done throughout the entire century of the 1900s where we’ve divided, by the drawing of the boundaries after World War I and World War II. You cross sectionalized and grouped cultures that were basically century old enemies of each other because then you can create chaos. All you have to do is throw a match on the kindling anytime you want a war. Anytime you want to create a false flag to get more money into the military-industrial complex.

Once you understand that so much of all of this was planned in order to bring about this one world control mechanism, it’s shocking especially for someone like me who grew up in that system um and didn’t know any of this existed. And that’s kind of one of the things we’re talking about, people’s input. I have been met when we go country by country and dissect CIA operations during a regime change operation. [Alpha’s Gladio Series -GC]
I have had so many people that lived in that country either during it or in the immediate aftermath of it or whatever that will go that’s not how that happened. I had some one lady on a Zoom call tell me that, you know, she knew all of these people in Iran during the
Mosaddegh overthrow and that there was no such thing as stay-behinds in the southern part of Iran.

It’s documented. It’s declassified in CIA documents. They did do that.

There were military people in there training those people. They created the foot soldiers in order to get them out on the streets later on. I said, “Look, I understand that you didn’t know about this aspect of this operation. I spent 30 years in the military and had no idea most of any of this went on. I lived in Italy for three years during the exposure of Operation Gladio. I didn’t know it was even called Operation Gladio because they called it “Years of Lead.” And where I lived in the southern part, that’s what it was referred to. But when I found Paul Williams book about Operation Gladio, I’m like, “Oh my god, I’ve lived through the exposure of that and I didn’t know.” So you can live in a country, you can be in an institution and not know what is going on around you. People need to understand that.

I think one of one of the things that people don’t actually realize is the kind of control. It what really goes to the point that you’re making. You’re living through it and you don’t see it. Why? Because you think what they’re doing is normal. That is, you’ve accepted their set of axioms. You want to go back to the Fabian society. Go back to the assault on our culture at the beginning of the 20th century which has obviously continued and accelerated. What you see is that they want to get inside people’s minds in the sense that, rather than looking at the world as human beings naturally do, as creative human beings. You can see it with a child. You can see it with a child playing with blocks. What is that child actually doing when he plays with blocks? He’s actually figuring out how the world works. You stack them up one way and they stay and you stack them up another way, they’re going to fall over. This is the child actually experimenting with the way the world works. And that’s how the human mind should work. It is natural. We’re in a world that God created. It’s a creative world. He gave us creativity so that we could understand it and live in it and prove it and make it better and so on.

What is it that the imperialists do? What is it that the empire does? And this goes back thousands of years. You can start with Aristotle, my least favorite philosopher. Who basically says, “No, no, you’re not a creative mind. You’re just your senses. You’re no different than your pet dog. We’re going to bombard your senses. We’re going to manipulate your senses. We’re going to immerse your senses. And if they can reduce people to just responding from the standpoint of their senses, then they don’t have to put you in chains, because they’ve got you. So you can be in the middle of something like Operation Gladio or the overthrow [of your government] or frankly all those poor deranged people still in the United States who don’t see that there was a coup carried out against the president of the United States. Why? Because they’re in the mindset which has been created by these people and this looks normal and natural to them. They don’t even understand how much they are controlled. That’s why they’re always afraid of somebody like Donald Trump. [who is] outside the box, right? Completely creative, completely a risktaker, they could not profile this man, no matter what. It’s sort of the little boy who stands up and says the emperor has no clothes. You know all of a sudden everybody says oh yeah I knew that.

34:00 Tommy

What’s more outside of the system than anything? A higher power. God the creator. That knows there is good and evil. That’s far above the president, that’s far above the CIA. And when you do, that also gives you the courage to go “Maybe they’re wrong. Maybe the people telling me that we’re just these stupid humans. We’re inefficient and we got to get in the pot and eat ze bug.” and you got to euthanize them. And you start to believe it if your higher power is the state.


But if you look beyond that it’s a form of wonder. And wonder really means is you’ve a potential for more ways to put the blocks together. That you can step outside of it. What you’re saying is they can not create. That’s why all the sequels. You know what is making Helen of Helen of Troy a black woman? It’s like this is all just you’re taking something, you’re putting something on it. You’re a DJ doing a remix, but you’re not making the original music. I truly believe that evil cannot create. It can control and pervert and it can shave stuff off, but it can never just make something. I think that’s the endowment of the creator. It really is. It’s you spoiler. It all comes down to good versus evil. But I think that’s what this is. You can control, you can label, you can this, you can label that. You don’t need a trillion dollars in algorithms. What you can do is just make I don’t know a platform and go, “Yeah, maybe the best thing would just rise to the top.” And it does.

That is the Transcript to 35 minutes.

Some important points from the rest of the video.

1. If you had to do a 100 year or 200 year march through the institutions, then by definition you’re doing something that you know the vast majority of people hate.

2. As you rise higher in military or business, you are developed to be risk-adverse conformists.

3. If you have someone at the top of an organization or department within an organization who is an outside the box thinker, you can see rapidly changes. This time around POTUS has pick those sorts of outside the box thinkers and we can already see the changes in the military. The Colonel said “I still have several friends that are on active duty. They’re feeling that real change in their lives.”

4. Susan Kokindra points out you have the outside insiders, like Scott Scott Bessant.

41:45 Susan Kokinda

Here’s somebody who comes from the inside, worked with George Soros, helped bring down the British pound. These are fairly sophisticated, insider operations, but that’s not where his identity is. He grew up as a middle class kid from South Carolina. The mission of the US Treasury is now completely different than it was a year ago. The previous mission was to bail out the too big to fail banks. That is no longer the mission of the Treasury. It is the real economy and household incomes.

44:10 — Colonel Towner

This is one of the things that I think people in general fail to grasp. If I’m on a battlefield, one of the key things that you try to do is co-opt one of the insiders on the other side for intelligence purposes. So, if you look at President Trump’s career, one of the things that made him the most lethal to the opposing party was his insider information. He grew up in that system. He grew up in the Hollywood system which is totally corrupt to include intelligence ties. He grew up in the New York mafia infested construction business. He was in the South Florida totally mafia driven real estate. His purchase of the resort international which was a CIA front. um his um exposure to the casino industry, again, intelligence, CIA ties… That’s what he brings to the table. He knows how they operate. He can be 10 steps down the road with that intelligence background that no one else has. I look at Scott Bessent the same way.

………………..

And another tidbit.

The rating agency that feeds the info to the actuary used by LLoyds of London is just across the Thames from MI6.

What is even more interesting is, since 9-11 my ponies have been insured thru Lloyds since we could get no other insurance. Over 30 years and no claim. HOWEVER last spring they REFUSED TO INSURE!!!

This New Pyramid Theory Explains the Missing Evidence (19 minutes)


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As nasty and disgusting and vomit worthy as Epstein’s sexcapades were, the media’s focus on that hides the real bombshell. As Putin said, The West Is Controlled By Satanic Pedophiles and Epstien was an important node in their network.

Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action points out some of the evidence.

TRANSCRIPT from YouTube

4:20:

Their concern isn’t that regime change will fail. Their concern is that it’s being done without them… Iran’s new leadership is calling Washington because Washington is the only party that actually changed anything. The British have played the great game in the shadows for over a hundred years. Now it’s in the open and it’s being stymied…

let’s talk about what the Iran strike did to the so-called special relationship because this is where over a 100 years of British manipulation of American policy is shattering right out in the open. When the strikes began on Saturday, Britain’s position was extraordinary. The UK was informed Friday afternoon. Not included. Starmer refused to let the US use the British bases in Diego Garcia or in Britain itself. Britain refused not because it developed a conscience about international law. It refused because it’s no longer running the table. And the British press admitted that it is the end of the game for the special relationship with a headline that read, “Stormer faces greater quandry over special relationship after Iran attack.” And that article pointed out that Starmer appears to have had little influence on Trump who went ahead regardless…

But it wasn’t just Britain. France, Germany, and the UK issued a joint statement clarifying first and foremost they did not participate in the strikes. Not a statement of strategy, a statement of absence. And the best the European Union could manage was Ursula von der Leyen sending a message to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. And here’s what she said. As our strategic partner, we will work closely with you to deescalate and safeguard regional stability. You can count on our full support in these turbulent times. The European Union — Gulf Cooperation Council partnership will only get stronger in the period ahead.

Now, the responses to this on X were brutal. One commentator appropriately rephrased it, quote, “In other words, Trump won’t take my call and we have no clue what’s going on.” That’s exactly right. And the statesman drill down on the same point. The Iran war makes it official. America is breaking with Europe. So, the special relationship is cracking in public. When Tehrān calls, it calls Washington, not London.

And the question worth asking is how did that special relationship actually work? Not the photo ops and the state visits. What was the real mechanism? Part of the answer is former Prince Andrew. Let’s go back to 2008 when the British were still happily directing American foreign policy. Andrew, then Britain’s special representative for international trade, sat down in Kyrgyzstan with a room that included businessmen, government officials, and the American ambassador. The American ambassador wrote it all down in a cable later published by Wikileaks and she told people that what Andrew told the room with astonishing frankness was the following. The United Kingdom, Western Europe, and by extension, you Americans too are now back in the thick of playing the great game and this time we aim to win. He wasn’t being metaphorical. He was describing it to an American diplomat on the record. the actual operating framework of British foreign policy, not the public version dressed up in democracy and human rights, but the real version in his official capacity as Britain’s trade representative.

Now, Andrew’s been arrested, the first royal arrest in centuries, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Epstein files contain evidence he was passing confidential trade reports into Epstein’s networks. So the man who bragged about winning the great game was runningBritish strategic intelligence through Jeffrey Epstein. That is not a personal scandal. That is the operating method of the imperial apparatus now on public record. And shortly after Andrews arrest came the arrest of Lord Peter Mandelen who had been appointed by Starmer as Britain’s ambassador to Washington. Sent to manage the special relationship at the very moment Trump came in for his second term.

The Epstein files show that Mandlesson was passing advanced knowledge of British financial policy into the same networks. So the geopolitical operative and the financial operative, both out on bail, arrested, both exposed at the same moment. The apparatus itself is being dismantled. The Iran strike ended the special relationship and it’s out in the open. Britain is sidelined. Europe is issuing statements of absence. Tehrān is calling Washington. And simultaneously, the men who ran the real special relationship, Andrew running the geopolitical side, Mandlesson running the financial intelligence are on the chopping block, taken off the board together. This is not a coincidence. This is the end of geopolitics. Now, ending an entrenched system is not easy and it is dangerous. That is why you have to stay focused and on the stage of history.

Jeff Childers gives us more hints.

☕️ SHADOWS OF SHAME ☙ Friday, February 27, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

…The more I see from the Epstein files, the more convinced I am that Epstein was being careful, and wasn’t documenting whatever it was that he was really up to. And it does look like he was involved in things he wasn’t writing down. In an interview with Mario Nawfal on X, Forensic analyst Dr. Jason Garrison, who has extensively reviewed the files, highlighted several instances where Epstein explicitly stated variations like, “I don’t like putting things in writing, call me instead….

The question nobody seems to be asking is: what was discussed at the dinner? There are plenty of hints. Jeffrey was, for example, very interested in genetics, vaccines, and DNA. He does not seem very interested in real philanthropy.

A genuine philanthropist doesn’t need to launder donations through shell entities, doesn’t tell recipients to hide the source, and doesn’t use the giving as a mechanism to get one-on-one meetings with young researchers and grad students…. But as most of the public intuitively understands, this story is far bigger than sex trafficking… We haven’t yet seen a fraction of what was really going on…


Some of the stuff, Epstein could have been into.

ALIENS

I find it interesting that after all this time the subject is re-surfacing and in a meaningful way.

I watched a new Josh Reid & Alpha Warrior video. As I said to Wolf, Josh is a bit of a flake. On the other hand, if you are not willing to even listen to ‘Conspiracy Theories’ how can you judge? Anyway, Josh goes thru the various Alien ‘evidence’ Human contact, grays reptilians … with video clips. Josh mentions he & his family have had contact, that is he & his brother disappeared for several hours while traveling between houses and have zero memory of what happen.

I can not cast stones because a couple caving buddies and I watched Rome Air Force Base scramble three jets to TRY and chase a UFO. [ my old comment]


Picture an elderly lame Basset Hound trying to catch a F1 race car, sudden square corners and then GONE. What is interesting is it was in the same area, upstate NY and I think during the same decade as Josh Reid’s encounters. Even more interesting is Tonawanda ALSO saw a UFO in upstate NY! [Comment]

This is Wolf’s book suggestion. Josh discusses this too. The Day After Roswell

Wolf on UFOs

Roll Out The Sport Model!

and

Grey Swan Event Flock – Why Nothing Can Stop What’s Coming video is 1 hour


And Wolf’s very important comment

EXCERPTS:

Well, based on what this guy is saying, he is talking about stuff which would be elegantly explained by the theories I thought were missing. I know exactly what he is talking about, and he would have known exactly what I’m talking about.

Which is another tell. This guy acts just like a lot of scientists I’ve known. Just like normal. Just like he was in the lab next door explaining his stuff.

HOLY SHIT.

But his case also explains why they were interested in using MK on scientists, and presumably experimenting on it at the time. If you can keep their secret stuff compartmentalized, it can be protected. This guy (and maybe others) had gone off the ranch, and the military had a security problem. So they HANDED OFF THE PROBLEM to the CIA to deal with MK experiments. Which (from my point of view) are to some extent successful and to some extent not.

And everybody is still interested in these problems.

But OMG – I am so happy that:

– the class of theories I thought should have existed actually exist
– the theories work
– they would explain the island of stability
– there IS an island of stability
– elements in that island of stability create cool tech

HOLY SHIT! This stuff is REAL!

OK. Now I know why Cankles is in trouble!

She gave this shit to China! Without permission!

Josh had a slightly different take. 2:03:00 — 2:06:00 in the next video posted.
SAP programs:
Special Access Programs (SAPs) are highly restricted, classified programs within the U.S. government that require security measures exceeding standard clearance levels. Trump was recruited by Generals because people were selling off SAP programs. Josh figured out what was in Hilary’s SAPs that she was selling. The US governments most top secret projects ===> University & profs who were receiving grants on SAPs. Hilary gave them the who, what & where & the scientist were  recruited by China via funding the universities & profs.

At 2:06:00 Josh gets into Charles Lieber and the covid info funneled to Wuhan. He lists a lot of other scientists.


Do not forget that Cankles & Billy Boy are very well connected to Epstein too.


That covers the first part of the following video (2 1/2 hours) from Wolf’s point of view. Now I am going to concentrate on what Josh said in the second half, after his Aliens history lesson.


Epstein was not just into child sex trafficking. He was into collecting billionaires. ALL billionaires. But the critical point is he was very much into funding genetic experiments… on humans. Now if some of the weirder Conspiracy Theories I have been hearing are even partially true that could explain the obsession not only with genetic engineering but with AI. You would NEED AI to be able to control a ship moving at the speeds I saw that thing moving. A human could not respond fast enough.

At around 1 hr Josh says AI is a must win because of military considerations.

Josh says at 1:42:00
AI learns from what we input. The questions we ask, our interactions with it. So, do we want it to learn from Satanic Pedos or from God fearing Patriots?

And then he gets into some other interesting stuff.

Remember at the World Economic Forum in 2020,  Yuval Noah Harari talked about “hackable humans” Yuval Harari promoted the idea that the Earth no longer needs humans
Back to the video:
At ~ 1 hr 50 min, Josh talks about the ‘singularity’ where AI outstrips human intelligence. So the elite are trying to make a super human. Then there is a short clip of Sophia (AI Robot) who was built in Ethiopia (Think Tedros of the WHO) Ophra’s African Schools, Biometric IDs… AND it was EPSTEIN who funded the whole project.

It gets even more interesting from there with the building of ‘super humans’ and with the ELITE themselves trying to become gods.

…..

There is a lot more information on the subject out there. 23 &Me was about collecting human DNA. John of God was running a baby farm. John of God and Oprah Winfrey are connected. She had ties to Harvey Weinstein and now Epstein. Heck they are ALL connected.

And now it is coming out:

Shocking new HUMAN EXPERIMENT... | Daily Mail Online

Shocking new HUMAN EXPERIMENT claims emerge from Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

(Behind Paywall)

The Guardian: Epstein reportedly hoped to develop super-race of humans with his DNA

This article is more than 6 years old (2019)

Registered sex offender hoped to seed human race with his DNA by impregnating 20 women at a time, New York Times reports. Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of sex trafficking, planned to develop an improved super-race of humans using genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, according to the New York Times. In the aftermath of his 2008 sex trafficking conviction, Epstein hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico, one of his properties where young women, including minors, were allegedly abused, the newspaper reported in a major investigation. Though there is little evidence the scheme ever progressed beyond fantasy, prominent scientists, including the late Stephen Hawking, regularly attended dinners, lunches and conferences held by Epstein, the Times said.

Note how they killed the story.

Epstein and Ukraine: A match made in hell –RT

Registered sex offender hoped to seed human race with his DNA by impregnating 20 women at a time, New York Times reports

Human trafficking, animal abuse, and scientific experiments that pushed the boundaries of humanity itself: Jeffrey Epstein had grand ambitions, and where better to pursue them than Ukraine? A wild west where everyone has a price, and citizens are little more than lab rats.

Within days of Epstein’s 2019 arrest for sex trafficking, media reports began to shed light on the financier’s bizarre scientific ventures. Epstein, the New York Times reported, would gather the world’s leading scientists at his Manhattan apartment, or fly them to his private island to discuss his visions of “seeding the human race with his DNA,” cryogenically freezing his head and penis for future research, and in one unhinged conversation, “bankrolling efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you.”

At the time, these Bond villain schemes were portrayed as just twisted fantasies. However, Epstein was already involved in a human cloning initiative taking shape in Ukraine, far from the prying eyes of US regulators.

Designer babies

In July 2018, self-described “transhumanist” Brian Bishop reached out to Epstein seeking funding for what he called a “designer baby project,” according to emails released by the US Justice Department last week

Inspired by Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s use of CRISPR technology to birth the world’s first genetically edited twins, Bishop, a bitcoin investor and programmer by trade, sent Epstein a pitch deck and a request for funding. Epstein said that he had “no issue with funding” the project, as long as he could do so in secret. “The problem is only if I am seen to lead,” he told Bishop.

Over several follow-up emails in 2018, Bishop explained that he was seeking “$1.7m/year for up to five years + $1m for lab setup,” and that he was “proceeding with more mouse testing at my Ukraine lab,” including surgeries and microinjections. Bishop’s technique involved injecting altered genes into a male parent’s testes, but Epstein favored implanting an embryo into the mother. “I like implant embryo, wait 9 months, great ending,” he replied.

Epstein noted that he “can’t do anything where US rules apply.” Bishop answered that they could avoid scrutiny through “partnerships with overseas clinics.”

The Ukrainian lab

Bishop’s “mouse testing” took place at the Institute of Gerontology at Ukraine’s Academy of Medical Sciences in Kiev. Although the lab was not named in the latest emails, the MIT Technology Review took a virtual tour of the facility in early 2019. The magazine described seeing “a flayed-open mouse lying on the microscope stage, as well as a close-up of trace dyes being injected into its testicles.”

The MIT article did not mention Epstein, but revealed that the pitch deck Bishop had sent envisioned experiments on human “volunteers” once the first transgenic mouse had been created. “Outcome: First human with transgenic sperm, and we begin taking pre-orders,” it reportedly read.

None of the experiments had succeeded in creating “transgenic mouse pups,” but lab worker Dmitry Krasnienkov told MIT that he was willing to keep trying as long as Bishop kept paying him.

A pedophile’s playground

For men like Epstein, Ukraine was a potentially lucrative nexus of poverty, corruption, and amorality. Epstein’s interest in the country developed long before Bishop’s mouse experiments, with passports of several Ukrainian women found on his estate after his death, and multiple emails suggesting he trafficked Ukrainian girls to wealthy clients.

In one 2013 exchange, a man purported to be Emirati tycoon Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem described two girls arriving at his property. “Big disappointment, the Moldavian is not as attractive as the picture while the Ukrainian is very beautiful,” he complained to Epstein. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sulayem was a regular visitor to Epstein’s apartment between 2011 and 2014.

Ukraine was a “a hotbed of child pornography and sexual abuse,” the Kiev Post reported in 2009. “Most reported cases of pedophilia never get investigated, let alone prosecuted,” the paper wrote, describing how “every third Ukrainian prostitute is a girl between 12 and 17,” child pornography is sold at street markets, and sexual services can be bought for “candy or food.”

The full extent of Epstein’s involvement in Ukraine is unclear, but the full range of illicit services available to the rich in Ukraine stretch far beyond child pornography and prostitution.

Organ harvesting and virus factories

Ukraine has been known as a hotbed of organ harvesting since the earliest days of its post-Soviet decline, and featured prominently in a 2008 OSCE report on “Trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal.” The trade reportedly exploded after the Maidan coup of 2014, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claiming in 2023 that the organs of dead Ukrainian soldiers – such as hearts, kidneys and livers – have been appearing on ‘dark net’ marketplaces, with prices starting at €5,000.

H/T tradebait

Were the Seattle Seahawks Confiscated in 2018?

Let me get started by providing some background. As the story goes, back in 1975, two high school buddies, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, wrote the first real software for a microcomputer. They cut a deal with a computer maker, quit Harvard, moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and started Microsoft in 1976….

With the recent release of the Epstein Files, I heard Paul Allen’s name mentioned. From what I understand, there is no damning evidence that connects him to any of the atrocities that have been linked to Epstein. Allen’s name has been mentioned in some of the Epstein emails. In 2012, Epstein emailed that he wanted to sit next to Allen at a Silicon Valley elite bash. Another email mentions Allen casually inviting Epstein to see his “Mouse/brain project” after bumping into him in 2014….

Epstein was originally charged with soliciting prostitution from a minor way back in 2006. It is not a good look for anyone still associating with him in 2014. But that being said, with 3 million files, there doesn’t seem to be anything damning on Allen in them, and a lot of people in Big Tech and the science community continued to interact with Epstein long after his original conviction in 2008….in December of 2017, Trump enacted the Executive Order 13818, which gave the government the power to freeze the assets of anyone involved in crimes against humanity. Later in September of 2018, the EO 13848, opened the door to confiscating the assets of anyone involved in election fraud. Allen died the next month in October of 2018.

Something to consider, and if you didn’t already know this, you probably won’t believe it. Trump enacted the EO that froze assets from anyone involved in crimes against humanity on 12/20/2017. Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google announced that he would be stepping down from his role on 12/21/2017. Literally the next day. I think it’s safe to say that in general at least, assets have been confiscated and it probably goes back to at least 2018.

I’m not saying Paul Allen is guilty of crimes against humanity or election fraud, but it is at least plausible that these executive orders opened the door to Trump’s government confiscating assets from people who they believe achieved their wealth at the expense of America. 


At 50 minutes: The head of Bear Stearns, the head of JP Morgan took the call from Epstein while he was in prison and accepted the reversed charges. This was during the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis.

Because of the very Pro-Israel stance of the Q-Tree I was going to stay out of this fight and had the article below this planned. However, despite the fact I am old with few years left & have no children, I do love my country and would prefer it NOT turn into a Commie-Islamic Hell hole. Unfortunately that is exactly what will happen if we lose the mid-terms.

Rich Baris of the People’s Pundit, is about the only legit pollster, I know of. He says we WILL lose the mid-terms and why. Given Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens and others I thought this alternative view should be explored. As Burning Bright says, we are in a ‘War of Stories’

If you go to Rich’s Thread reader of January 27, 2026 Rich says:

We’ve been in the field every single day since before he [Trump] was sworn into office, and his approval rating hasn’t budged from its historical high.

Americans didn’t agree with everything Trump was doing in first term. They do now. It’s different..

Americans agree with what he’s doing and the Left trotting out an angry Morgan and crying Selena isn’t going to cut it this time. The Left is going to have to come up with a reformed policy platform, whether they mean it or not (almost certainly they won’t), instead of the outrageous and ignorance machine.

And less than a month later Baris says the voters mood has changed and we will lose the mid-terms. What happen in that month?

POTUS sent American military to the middle east and is now threatening Iran.

At 17 minutes Baris says what people here are NOT going to like hear. Remember this guy is polling people every day and he is telling us what Americans think.

The Israel First attitude in the senate is what is going to lose us the Midterms. Just like ‘RACIST’ is used to shout people down, Anti-semite is used to silence people. They may go silent BUT THAT JUST BUILDS RESENTMENT.

He says 30% of the republicans in SC will not vote for Miss Lindsey because of this.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

This is something very dark we are not allowed to talk about because every time you do someone calls you an antisemite. Mark Levin because of my polling [called me an antisemite] and said it is in my DNA because I am European… It [being called antisemite] scares people and they no longer want to talk about it and they [the Israel first crowd] are free to do what they are doing, go to the White House… Netanyahu has been there more than any body and there is a reason for it. The Ted Cruz & Lindsey Grahams & Bebe Netanyahu’s view the Trump presidency as the last chance to do what Israel has long wanted to do. That is why you heard Mike Huckabee as the US Ambassador say during the Tucker interview “It would not bother me if they took it all.”Because there is a very real agenda. They are already talking about Turkey next year. They want to take parts of Turkey. I kid you not. This is Nuts. They [the Israel lobby] put themselves ahead of you. It does not matter if you are pro-Israel or not. This is what happened. They put THEIR INTERESTS ahead of you.

Israeli minister calls for West Bank annexation, scrapping Oslo Accords

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced plans to promote Palestinian emigration, annul the Oslo Accords, annex the West Bank, and extend Jewish settlements as part of the next government’s agenda.

….He [Smotrich] linked the coming political phase in Israel to the remaining term of US President Donald Trump, who began a four-year term in January 2025, calling it a “window of opportunity” to enact sea changes, including “dismantling the Palestinian Authority and disarming the West Bank.”

BACK TO TRANSCRIPT

19:30– They knew full well last year, with the bombing of Iran, it would have taken Trump’s peak presidency. By that I mean a certain amount of time during the first year when Congress will do big things. Because once we go into the second year, which I tried to warn people about, Congress will not do big things. The do not want to cast controversial votes. They do not want to take unnecessary risks during an election year. The donors are breathing down their backs. You really have 8 months and THAT’S IT. That is what you have got as a president to get your agenda through.

They [Israel Lobby] decided to hijack the last of that eight months because they figured their interests were more important than the American public’s. They don’t give a damn about you.

They figure the next time is a Democrat president and we will get nothing from them. So we have to get as much as we can from Donald Trump. AND THEY DID GUYS AND THEY WON. I hate to say this but that is the reality in Washington DC. A president’s agenda is a constant tug of war between the blob [Mike Benz’ term for the Cartel — GC] and the Donor Class and what the American people wants...

20:20 — You can not have 60% of the country since the bombing of Iran the first time last year, tell the president we are over this crap and get back to domestic policy. Then have him ignore it. Then Trump MOCKS PEOPLE with the make Iran great again posts on social media.


He did exactly what Rush Limbaugh in his final days warned him not to do… He broke the bond between him and the American People….

Benjamin Netanyahu returned to Israel after a closed-door meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington

Comment by GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: Like everyone I follow at Badlands, Ghost is a Christian. However he is not particularly fond of Israel. He is also well read historically, and IIRC has been to the middle east. He can lay out logically the point of view of Christians who want nothing to do with more war in the middle east.

Also I noticed someone yanked out the tired old “Iran’s a week away from having a nuclear bomb” Remember The Gulf of Tonkin Incident that served as a catalyst for U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War? An incident that NEVER HAPPENED?

…There is always the possibility that a kinetic attack is imminent. If that’s what is in the cards, then President Trump certainly wouldn’t telegraph such plans or intent to the world beforehand.

But I have long asserted, and continue to maintain, that such calculus does not lead us to the Golden Age. The cycle of violence has to be broken, and Iran represents one of the longest-running pledges for large scale violence of my lifetime.

It has never been a question of ‘if’ we will have a war with Iran; it has always been a question of ‘when.’

Our beloved elites, of course, could never fully explain why such an idea would be in any way appealing to the American People. Why should we go give more of our families’ blood and treasure to fight an enemy on the other side of the world that poses no clear and present danger to America? (Spare me all of Mark Levin’s talking points. That’s all a bunch of NeoCon bullshit.)

 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

They want us to believe that Israel doesn’t control our government. They say that I am an antisemite for suggesting such a thing. And yet, things like this keep happening that support—if not affirm—the allegation.

Can somebody explain to me why Iran needs a new government? Even if we were to assume that the people running that place were the worst tyrants who ever lived, in terms of how the government treats Iranians, why exactly is that our problem? Despite all the consternation and hyperventilating from the kosher crowd (Loomer, Levin, Lady Lindsey) there is no evidence to suggest Iran poses a threat to the United States or even to Israel.

Not to mention that Iran, which was once geopolitically isolated, now has strong international relations with a number of world powers, most notably Russia and China. Iran has also become a geographic centerpiece of the North-South Transport Corridor, which is a trade route developed by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to compete with the Suez Canal.

The deep economic entanglement between these nations will actually keep Iran accountable as economic pressure from both inside and outside of the country will promote peace and deter kinetic conflict.

Put simply, there is absolutely no reason to believe that Iran wants to start a war with Israel or the US—even assuming that Iran harbors ill-will toward Israel and would prefer to see it somehow destroyed. The point is that Iran is not going to start or provoke such a war with Israel because it knows that it will end up fighting the US and Europe.

So why the hell are we allowing the Israel lobby to drag us into this situation?

Ghost does not say, but I will, If the USA attacks Iran on Israel’s behalf, it could be the beginning of WWIII given Iran’s entanglement with China and Russia. Of course nothing would please the Cabal more, than to plunge the USA & the world into another major war.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

Here is a lengthy formal statement posted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:

These are the countries signing this document:

We the Foreign Ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the French Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Iceland, Ireland, the Republic of Indonesia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Norway, the State of Palestine, the Portuguese Republic, the State of Qatar, the Republic of Slovenia, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Republic of Turkiye

Continued from Ghost.

Allow me to demonstrate how disrespectful these Israelis are toward President Trump. Explain to me how this public statement from Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is not undermining Trump’s efforts for peace?

How about Ze’ev Elkin from the Finance Ministry yesterday asserting that Israel will not financially contribute to Trump’s Board of Peace? Is that disrespectful?

What about last month when all of the top officials in Netanyahu’s government—including Smotrich—formally rejected President Trump’s Board of Peace? Is that disrespectful?

Meanwhile, here is the opposition leader to Netanyahu’s government, Yair Lapid, declaring that he will stand with Bibi in a war against Iran. Because even this former news anchor turned “center-left” progressive politician wants a war with Iran, and is willing to give Bibi all the support he needs to carry it out. Lapid even went on (in Hebrew) to express empathy for the Greater Israel that Mike Huckabee conceptualized in his interview with Tucker.

And just as I thought, it looks like POTUS Trump may be pulling a peaceful rabbit out of his red ball cap despite the Israelis lust for more territory and war.

Iran says it is ready to reach nuclear deal with US ‘as soon as possible’

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said Tuesday Tehran is ready to swiftly reach a nuclear deal with Washington, stressing negotiations in Geneva will focus solely on the nuclear issue and urging diplomacy to avoid regional conflict.


Now we need Ukraine to give up and actually come to the table before the midterms.

Big Oil & their Bankers in the Persoian Gulf

Four Horsemen, Eight Families & Their Global Intelligence, Narcotics & Terror Network

Excerpts from The Third World Traveler

p5

Kermit Roosevelt, the Mossadegh coup-master [Iran, 1953] admitted in his memoirs that SAVAK was 100% created by the CIA and Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency that acts as appendage of the CIA.

p7

No corporations profited more than US defense contractors [from the 1953 Iran coup]. From 1950-63 the Middle East received 3% of US military aid to the world. From 1971-75 it received 60.2%. [21] The bulk of it went to Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Iran and Saudi Arabia were the “Twin Pillars” in President Nixon’s 1972 Guam Doctrine. Nixon and his cronies saw these two nations as critical to ensuring a steady cheap supply of crude oil to the US. Saudi reserves are estimated at 261 billion barrels, while Iran sits atop nearly 100 billion barrels.

… Revenues received by both the Shah and his House of Saud counterparts were recycled back into US money-center banks JP Morgan, Chase Manhattan and Citibank. These banks own huge blocks of stock in the Four Horsemen [Big Four oil companies – Royal Dutch Shell, ChevronTexico, ExxonMobil, British Petroleum] and in the defense contractors which now jostled for position in both Tehran and Riyadh. Chase Manhattan owned Iran’s Central Bank – Bank Markazi. The international bankers were the main beneficiaries of this new oil for arms quid pro quo. In Iran the Shah was given carte blanche on US arms purchases. Iran came to account for 25% of US military sales.

p10

The State Department once called the Middle East, “a stupendous source of strategic power and one of the greatest material prizes in world history, the richest prize in the world in the field of foreign investment.”

p10

Oil revenues financed the Shah’s military procurement program. He agreed to recycle surplus petrodollars into US banks, mainly Chase Manhattan, which his good friend David Rockefeller chaired. Iran’s Central Bank, the Bank Markazi, acted as wholly-owned subsidiary of Chase Manhattan. Oil revenue also went to banks like BCCI where it funded CIA covert operations

p11

The Shah served as cop on the beat for the US in the Persian Gulf, while Israel filled that role in the Mediterranean. President Truman called Israel, “a stationary aircraft carrier to protect US interests in the Mediterranean and the Middle East”.

p15

Within a few years of the Iranian Revolution, the CIA was helping Ayatollah Khomeini identify nationalist leaders so he could target leftists who had formed the Committee of 60, which led the Iranian revolution. In 1983 the CIA and British MI6 supplied a long list of Tudeh Party members to Khomeini. The Ayatollah unleashed a reign of terror against the left; assassinating, torturing and imprisoning over 10,000 Tudeh members and supporters. In 1989 many of those imprisoned were sentenced to death.

p16

SAVAK used heroin money to finance counter-revolution in Iran. The CIA allowed wealthy Iranians to smuggle their heroin into the US using diplomatic pouches. Iranian revolutionaries cracked down on the heroin trade, which had thrived under the Shah.

p17

Zbigniew Bzrezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission (TC) in 1973 with David Rockefeller… The stated purpose of TC was to form a triad of global influence consisting of North America, Western Europe and Japan.

The TC published The Crisis of Democracy in 1975. One of its authors, Harvard professor Samuel P. Huntington, is a prominent writer for the CFR publication Foreign Affairs. Huntington, intellectual darling of the global elite, argued that America needed “a greater degree of moderation in democracy”.

The TC paper suggested that leaders with “expertise, seniority, experience and “special talents” were needed to “override the claims of democracy”. More recently Huntington has been pushing his “Clash of Civilizations” thesis, which argues that war between the West and Islamic nations is inevitable.

This part segues into the next about South America, drugs & banks.

p111
BCCI [Bank of Credit and Commerce International] would become the mixing bowl into which Persian Gulf petrodollars were stirred with generous helpings of drug money to finance worldwide covert operations for the CIA and its Israeli Mossad and British MI6 partners.

BCCI was the bank of choice for the world’s most notorious dictators, including the Somoza family, Saddam Hussein, Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos and Haiti’s Jean-Claude “Papa Doc” Duvalier. The South African apartheid regime used BCCI, as did Manuel Noriega.

… With branches in 76 countries, BCCI dealt in conventional and nuclear weapons, gold, drugs, mercenary armies, intelligence and counterintelligence… The bank had close relations with the CIA, Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service, the Israeli Mossad and Saudiintelligence agencies… BCCI’s main stockholders were monarchs and wealthy oil sheiks from the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] nations.

… BCCI was founded 1972 in Pakistan by Agha Hasan Abedi, a close friend of Pakistani military dictator Zia ul-Huq… BCCI took its wings when Bank of America put up $2.5 million for a 30% stake in BCCI. At that time Bank of America was the largest bank in the world, controlled by N.M. Rothschild & Sons.

COLOMBIA

Trump Hosts Colombia’s Petro at the White House — Badlands Team

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Colombian President Gustavo Petro for their first in-person meeting at the White House on February 3, lasting over two hours in a private Oval Office session.

The encounter, attended by top officials including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno on the American side, and Foreign Minister Rosa Villavicencio, Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez, and Ambassador Daniel García-Peña on the Colombian side, produced unexpectedly positive tones and visuals after a year of public tensions, threats, and insults between the two leaders.

Trump described the meeting positively, stating “We got along very well” and noting prior unfamiliarity despite past friction.

Petro called himself “optimistic and positive,” reporting discussions on “concrete problems and joint pathways,” and left with a modified MAGA hat reading “Make Americas Great Again.”

Trump gifted Petro a signed copy of “The Art of the Deal” inscribed with “You are great” and “I love Colombia,” which Petro shared on X.

Discussions focused on counternarcotics cooperation...

Present given to POTUS Trump by President Gustavo Petro


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

…While we don’t have any hard facts yet on what specifically was achieved during the meeting, both Trump and Petro have independently said in interviews they agreed to collaboration on operations against the cartels, as well as Trump looking into lifting the sanctions he recently imposed on Petro and his family.

I went and read the document from the Treasury that imposed the sanctions on Petro, and found a paragraph that stuck out to me.

So what is this organization? I asked ChatGPT.

So the Deep State literally has an international intelligence unit that tracks all the financial crime information that is shared between governments, and when Gustavo Petro—the one world leader that we know for certain is going after the cartels—shared privileged information about the group that he had obtained through official channels, it compromised the integrity of the organization and led to the suspension of Colombia from the team.

So where is this organization located? Where is their headquarters?

CANADA??? You have got to be kidding me! And this group tracks bank transactions and passes suspicious activity on to the FBI and DOJ.

The Mark Carney lore as the king of all central bankers has now significantly increased.

Canada may very well be the final boss.

Sidenote: I may do a stream this afternoon to dig into all of this. Stay tuned.

It is worth noting that after his meeting with President Trump, Petro held a press conference where he said that the next step in fighting the cartels is to target the major financiers and international structures that operate outside of Colombia.


Colombian President Claims He Evaded Assassination Attempt — Badlands Team

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that he had evaded an assassination attempt when intelligence revealed a plot to fire on his helicopter, forcing an abrupt route change. During a government meeting broadcast live on the presidential administration’s YouTube channel, Petro stated that he had “avoided being killed” and described how the aircraft—carrying him along with his children—was rerouted to fly for four hours over the open sea before landing at an unplanned location.

The report, originating from Buenos Aires and published by TASS on February 10, 2026, provided no additional details on the alleged perpetrators, investigation status, or specific threats involved.

Petro met with President Donald Trump on February 3, 2026 and an assassination attempt happens on February 10. On February 11, 2026, the FAA abruptly closed airspace around El Paso, Texas, due to  drone activity near the U.S.-Mexico border.  An assassination attempt against POTUS Trump happens on February 22, 2026. Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho” is also killed on February 22, 2026. Sure was a busy couple of weeks!

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

“I didn’t land where I was supposed to because there were fears that the helicopter, in which my children were also located, would be fired upon,” he said at a government meeting broadcast on the presidential administration’s YouTube channel.

According to Petro, he “avoided being killed.” “We flew for four hours over the open sea and arrived where we didn’t plan to,” he said.

Our guy, Petro, has been on a heater lately.

Just last week, after meeting with President Trump at the White House, he held a press conference where he announced that he had proposed to Trump an international joint operation to go after the most powerful cartel bosses at the very top of organized crime— bankers, financiers, corporate executives, etc.

Then they tried to assassinate him.

At this same press conference where he disclosed the assassination attempt, he also called out a Colombian billionaire banker named Luis Carlos Sarmiento, telling him that he can “go F yourself” if he was going to stand in the way of a pipeline project with Venezuela that Petro had discussed with Trump.

Sarmiento is worth roughly $10 billion. [Note he is also a banker -GC]

No wonder they want to kill this guy. He is just about the most flippantly defiant world leader since… well, since Nicolas Maduro.

Assuming this assassination attempt story is real, who could blame Petro for having this attitude?…


Pentagon Says US Disabled Cartel-Linked Drones Near Texas Border — Badlands Team

The Trump Administration confirmed that “cartel drones” entered US airspace near El Paso, Texas, and were disabled by the FAA and the Department of War. Secretary Duffy (Transportation) posted on X:

“The FAA and DOW acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized, and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region. The restrictions have been lifted and normal flights are resuming.”

The FAA earlier issued a surprise notice shutting down the airspace above El Paso, a major city in west Texas on the US-Mexico border, and halting all flights up to 18,000 feet for 10 days due to “special security reasons.” The restricted area covered a 10-mile radius, and restrictions were lifted Wednesday night.

Business Insider cites anonymous officials claiming that the administration disabled the drones using counter-drone measures. The department did not publicly specify the exact technology used.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected reports of the alleged drone incursion, stating, “There is no information about the use of drones on the border,” according to reporting by Newsweek. The same article reports that Representative Tony Gonzales responded to the drone news:

“For those of us who live and work along the border, daily drone incursions by criminal organizations are part of everyday life. It’s a Wednesday for us.”

All the Fake News that Brave pulled up on its first page say it was just party balloons.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

So Colombian President Gustavo Petro comes to town last week (nearly gets assassinated later on the way home to Colombia) and vows that he and Trump are working together to bring down cartels and the bankers that finance them.

Our friend, Eric Rice, presented an interesting question: Who sold Mexico the drones?

This is an interesting question, and I found an interesting article from 2015.

…First the FFA shuts down the airspace around El Paso. Then we get conflicting reports about an invasion. This is definitely an invasion.

It does seem like Mexico is the last bastion of these Hispanic narcotics cartels, and Trump has dropped plenty of signal that he considers the Mexican government in bed with cartels and therefore a threat….


Jan 09, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

For months now, I’ve been saying that Colombian President Gustavo Petro is the righteous actor—as he has spent the past three years going after the cartels.

Here is video that Petro posted to X yesterday recapping some of their operations.

Translated:

They went kneeling to say that the president of Colombia was a drug trafficker, and that this would cause another war in Colombia. They always do the same thing. Look at reality.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

This program that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent is rolling out with FINcen seems to streamline the bounty system while focusing on the critical evidence: the money.

“Follow the money” is a notorious refrain not only in the Q Research community, but in the entire cultural ethos of “criminology” as well. Whether you are talking about a crime drama presented as a work of fiction on Netflix, or academic detective work, forensic accounting is the ideal method of mapping out criminal networks because the money flow is objective and traceable.

If you’ve listened to the past few episodes of Breaking History, we have been discussing FINcen and the Egmont Group. While FINcen is the financial crimes intelligence unit in the US government, the Egmonth Group is an international network of over 170 of this type of intelligence unit from nearly every government on earth. The purpose being to share in this intelligence.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro was sanctioned by the Treasury Department last year, and in the sanctioning document Petro is accused of getting Colombia’s financial crimes intelligence unit suspended from Egmont for allegedly sharing information he collected from the Egmont servers.

It is fascinating that both Petro and Maduro have accused all of the most powerful banks in the US and Europe of literally being the cartels. Petro says that it is institutions like Egmont Group that allow the criminality to continue and prosper, because it covers for them.

Bessent’s strategy is brilliant because it creates a practical incentive structure and has a reliable source of reward money. It also inherently targets the core culprit in all organized crime syndicates: the financial institutions.

We are going to pay criminals to rat out their friends. We are going to pay bureaucrats and accountants to blow the whistle on shady stuff they see around the office. And we are going to pay them with the money collected from fines imposed on the guilty parties. The idea being that the investigations will lead to criminal referrals and indictments.

Scott Bessent is weaponizing the financial system against itself by tapping into base human instincts.


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

We’ve been speculating for months that Mexico would be the real target for a military operation. Here’s President Trump weeks ago explaining that the cartels control Mexico.

[Video]

Yesterday, President Trump affirmed that he did offer to send in US troops to fight the cartels, but was turned down by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

[Video]

This tracks, if the cartels do actually control Mexico.

However, two weeks ago it was reported that a Mexican Senate commission approved a proposal for SEAL Team 2 to go there and train Mexican special forces to fight the cartels.

Last week, Sheinbaum formally invited the SEALs—though this was only in a training capacity.

With all of this said, it is notable that the New York Post 
reported that over 100 cartel bosses—including El Mencho’s brother—were quietly handed over to the Trump administration prior to the Jalisco raid where El Mencho was killed.

It could be that things are not what they seem. It could be kayfabe to keep the cartels guessing. We should continue to withhold belief (h/t: Chris Paul ) until we have enough data to adopt an informed opinion.

Personally, I do think this particular war against the cartels is real, and I think much of the cartels’ infrastructure has already been severely hampered by the efforts of Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, along with Bukele of El Salvador, among others.

As Petro is calling for Trump to lead a crusade against the bankers and financiers that support the cartels, the [Mexican] military is going after them in Mexico.

H/T patfrederick said NebraskaFilly said Rodney posted this Tweet last night:

TEXT

THE SUPPLIER IS DEAD. THE CLIENT LIST SURVIVED. When Mexican Special Forces took out El Mencho, they didn’t just find guns and drugs. They found a laptop. On it: a single encrypted file named “CLIENTES.” Inside: 211 names. The elite clients who ordered children and organs from “The Supplier.” Hollywood actors. Tech billionaires. Wall Street executives. And 17 sitting members of Congress. For 48 hours, the Deep State tried to bury it. The CIA tried to claim jurisdiction. The FBI tried to seize the laptop. They failed. Trump’s people got to it first. The file is now in the hands of the same military intelligence unit that is preparing for the State of the Union address. This is the kill shot. The Epstein files were the blackmail network. The Client List is the customer base. Arrests are not coming. They have already begun. Pay attention to who disappears this week. This is not politics. This is war. And the snakes can’t hide anymore.

I hope this proves true because if so it will prove more important than the Epstein Files. 48 hr rule applies of course. So far I can find nothing.

We don’t know what the next epoch will bring, whether or not it will be fortuitous for the American People. There is an excitement that is fueled by that uncertainty, but also burdens us with the anxiety that shrouds every future unknown. We end up choosing the devil that we know rather than charging into the darkness of that unknown.
For too long, we were convinced that this anxiety was reason enough to never seek an end to this status quo, even as that status quo was quietly subverted and secretly altered in order to exploit the American People.

One day, after years of healing, perhaps the American People will have the courage, strength, and fortitude to stop these machinations dead in their tracks. Sometimes I wonder whether we were too broken psychologically to have actually saved ourselves, or whether we were lucky enough to be blessed by angels weaving divine providence. — GHOST

This IS VERY MESSY! I was going to include Colombian President Gustavo Petro because he shares the drug trafficking problem with Maduro However this article got way too long. So I will save him until next week. I am starting with a video by Gordon aka Ghost (GhostofBasedPatrickHenry) since it gives a look at the background. It is long 1 ½ hours but the 15 minutes from 19:45 to around 32 minutes gives a decent summary.

The Book of Trump Chapter 42: Hugo Chavez Pt. 2

THE HIGH POINTS:

19:45 — Ghost mentions Fake news Bloomberg, can’t keep its lies straight and later shows what he means.

21:30 — Sec of State Rex Tillerson as CEO of Exon starts the anti Chavez & Madero lies (2006), Exon Mobil Current president gets tossed by Trump.

23:00 — Ghost says he fell out of the chair. He found a Business Insider article describing how Exon went into arbitration and LOST getting a much lower award, in line with what Venezuela originally offered.

24:30 — Chavez negotiates successful buyouts with 22 oil companies. They get paid for assets nationalized when they refused to renegotiate the contracts. Chevron stays & gets new deal.

Exon then pulls the dirty using English Guyana by drilling off shore in waters considered to belong to Venezuela but claimed by Guyana too. on Nov 23, 2023 Paramilitary move into Venezuela from Guyana possible connected to Israel – Gaza mess. The whole goes back to Tillerson and when he was CEO of Exon.

Prior to that in June there was a court ruling against Exon dealing with Chevron buying out Hess. Exon had an option to buy rights to oil in Orinoco Belt but the entire company is sold not just that contract.

Trump gives Chevron special exemption from sanctions.

32:31 – Ghost starts picking apart a recent Bloomberg’s video & explains what actually happened.

PDVSA was formed in 1976 when Venezuela nationalized it’s oil. It negotiated concession agreements like those used for renting out farmland. Most of the contracts were written for 1% the largest was a 16% royalty. Also included is an additional amount based on net profit. However the companies cheated by creating subsidiaries which were paid mucho $$$ for services so the ending net profits were very low.

34:45 — Ghost goes into the differences between the Saudi model & the Venezuelan model.

1:28:00 — The law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (more about them later) devised the Holding Company. It allows monopolies and vertical integration to become a legal form of corporation. He then goes into the following information:

Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó became rival claimants to the Venezuelan presidency following the 2018 presidential election, which the opposition and many international observers deemed illegitimate.Trump had originally supported Guaidó. “U.S. law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP will be the lead counsel for Venezuela’s opposition as it seeks to restructure the country’s foreign debt,opposition leader Juan Guaido’s overseas legal representative said on Tuesday” REUTERS LINK

Please note Guaidó was not the actually president and therefore had no authority.

POTUS stopped the money grab in January 9, 2026 — Executive Order 14373: Safeguarding Venezuelan Oil Revenue for the good of the American & Venezuelan People


With that as a background, let’s start with this tweet & video from Mike Benz. It agrees with Colonel Towner’s information about color revolutions in Latin America. They are fomented by the CIA on behalf of the big corporations.


Which is backed up by this video (6 minutes) I found at The CIA-Soros Partnership. And there is NED again, The National Endowment for Democracy.


Also see:

The British Intelligence Hand Behind the NED and Modern Color Revolutions

Now I want to add a bit of history:


Allen Dulles and his older brother John Foster Dulles both worked for the Wall Street law firm Sullivan & Cromwell. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson appointed John Foster Dulles, a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell,  as legal counsel to the United States delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference where he served under his uncle, Secretary of State Robert Lansing (WIKI) This would be WWI and the treaty whose terms were so harsh it set Europe up for WWII and Hitler.

History | Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

Domestic and international finance has been at the core of the Firm’s work since its inception. Before World War I, S&C represented European bankers and bond syndicates in financing the development of America’s railroads and industrial infrastructure. William Cromwell himself proved instrumental in paving the way toward the construction of the Panama Canal.

Heading into the 20th century, as international capital flows diversified and increased, the Firm responded by opening branch offices in Berlin and Buenos Aires…

MORE @ Grokipedia

And finally from BRAVE AI Sullivan & Cromwell’s current business.

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP has been involved in multiple high-profile legal matters related to ExxonMobil’s claims against Venezuela, particularly in the context of sovereign litigation and arbitration enforcement. 

  • The firm has represented ExxonMobil affiliates in a long-running ICSID arbitration case concerning the nationalization of oil assets by Venezuela under Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro. 
  • In October 2025, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled in favor of ExxonMobil affiliates, awarding $985.5 million plus interest and legal fees, after Venezuela failed to appear in enforcement proceedings. 
  • Sullivan & Cromwell is also working with ExxonMobil on Supreme Court proceedings related to the enforcement of the ICSID award, including a petition filed in December 2024 (No.  24-699).
  • The firm previously served as lead counsel for Venezuela’s opposition (under Juan Guaidó) in 2019 in efforts to restructure the country’s foreign debt, highlighting its deep involvement in Venezuela’s political and financial legal landscape. 

These engagements underscore Sullivan & Cromwell’s central role in resolving complex international disputes involving Venezuela’s oil sector and foreign investment claims.

Followed by a couple interesting moves by POTUS Trump.

Trump says he might keep Exxon out of Venezuela after CEO called it ‘uninvestable’

AND

Why the Trump administration is holding millions of dollars from Venezuelan oil sales in a Qatari bank


…The funds were sent to Qatar, rather than being held in US banks or sent directly to Venezuela… Venezuelan banks have started advertising cash, suggesting the oil proceeds have arrived in the country… Venezuela has been sanctioned by Western governments across the globe, essentially cut off from the global banking system for years. Its authoritarian government seized oil assets over the past decades for which foreign energy companies have demanded compensation…🤔


“…Its authoritarian government seized oil assets over the past decades for which foreign energy companies have demanded compensation…”

Fear all ye men who sail the Caribbean!

So why do I bring all this up? Because we know we will not get the true story from the Mockingbird Media. So how true is that highlighted sentence? Is it ALL energy companies or just ExonMobil. Are those two moves by POTUS Trump AGAINST Exon for a reason?

And most important, is Maduro a prisoner or is he a protected witness?

Ghost and others dig up information NOT covered in Mainstream Media reports. Ghost is the first to acknowledge he has no way of determining if his conclusions are correct, however the information is certainly interesting. That is why I am bringing it here.


Above, I started by documenting the CIA – Sullivan & Cromwell – State Department – ExonMobil ties because Ghost brought up former CEO, Rex Tillerson’s long, troubled history in Venezuela.

Oil facilities at Venezuela’s western Maracaibo lake November 5, 2007.

Let me start by saying that I have long believed that we would see the extraction and “arrest” of President Maduro by the US military. Here I am on October 7th predicting as much, right down to Maduro willfully surrendering.

So nothing about this development is a total surprise, nor does it contradict any of my speculation that Nicolas Maduro is working in cooperation with President Trump. In fact, when I read that Maduro’s wife was also “arrested” (extracted) by US Special Forces and indicted as a narco-terrorist, it all but affirmed the theory that we are witnessing a cooperating witness/informant being brought into protective custody — not the toppling of a foreign ruthless dictator…

First off, the CIA apparently leaked the details of the operation to the New York Times and Washington Post so they could have the articles written and ready for publication.

WTF???

There was then widespread speculation about who would be taking over as leader, until President Trump clarified that President Maduro had appointed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as Acting President, and Trump said he would be honoring the appointment. (Because that’s what one does when arresting a ruthless narco-terrorist dictator.)…

I do think that this was a negotiated surrender between Maduro and Trump, not because Maduro is some ruthless dictator, but because Maduro is actually a cooperating witness who needs to be protected. I also think that Trump’s claims of the oil companies paying to rebuild the infrastructure of Venezuela could be reparations that are legitimately owed related to the lawsuits that were filed back in 2018 against dozens of the world’s most powerful oil executives, accusing them all of corruption and stealing Venezuela’s wealth. The lawsuit was filed by the Venezuelan oil company, PDVSA.

Obviously, this story still has plenty of plot lines to develop.

So now we have dueling lawsuits.

Jan 07, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 


For those that may be new here, or otherwise unfamiliar with my research on both Nicolas Maduro and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, here is a 10 minute clip that provides a decent summary.

[It is a clip of Colonel Douglas Macgregor on Tucker talking about the idiocy of regime change, how unsuitable Maria Corina Machado would be given the 8,000 columbian drug criminals in the hills around Caracus.]

…Then there is this little factoid: Eric Prince of Blackwater went to Venezuela and met with Delcy Rodriguez six years ago. Many analysts are [wrongly] pointing to this as the moment that Rodriguez betrayed Maduro…


What if the Maduro “arrest” subverted the civil war plot? [To install regime darling Maria Corina Machado.Note that she visited Trump and got the side door treatment. 😂 -GC]

A SIDE TRIP INTO MARIA CORINA MACHADO


Maria Corina Machadowas a 2009 Yale World Fellow, a prestigious program at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs that brings emerging global leaders to Yale for a four-month residency. During her time at Yale, she studied at the School of Management and engaged in cross-cultural dialogue with other international leaders, including Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. — Brave AI

Alexei was Killed by Russia with frog toxin, 5 European governments say. And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Remember he died just after a visit from his wife.

Back to Ghost’s Article

I even joked that Trump’s reaction was basically, “Yeah, we’ll probably leave the side door open for her, or something… And then the Mad Man actually did it. He forced Maria Corina Machado to enter the White House grounds through the guard gate like all the other tourists. Nobody came outside to meet her….
Even when Maria Corina Machado was departing, nobody could be bothered to see her out to her vehicle. They just ushered her out of the door and slammed it behind her.

Badlands team

Following Maduro’s removal, a group of U.S. lawmakers reportedly expressed support for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado as a potential future leader of the country. Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are said to have unanimously endorsed Machado after a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, praising her long opposition to Maduro’s government and calling for free and fair elections. The lawmakers’ backing comes despite Trump previously dismissing her prospects as Venezuela’s leader and reflects a degree of congressional support for the opposition figure’s role in shaping the country’s post-Maduro political landscape. (rt.com) —

>>>>>>>>>>

Now Trump is promising to turn his crosshairs on Colombian President Gustavo Petro— whom I have demonstrated in the video above is at the tip of the spear of the war against the cartels. Yet Trump insists that Petro is a cartel drug lord, just like he accused Maduro of being.

…It is also worth noting that Petro held a rally after Maduro’s arrest, where he said that “a clan of pedophiles”— specifically, “friends of Epstein”— were attempting to take over Colombia and Venezuela and must be stopped. — Ghost


Later on Jan 12, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry said

…The plan had been negotiated through the Qataris, with Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Ric Grenell acting as intermediary, and approved by President Trump.

The Miami Herald reported on this rumor back in October.

Nicolás Maduro Guerra, spoke at a rally over the weekend and affirmed… they were following the directions left by his father.

…I have since stumbled onto new information that I think further validates the move, and it has to do with Scott Bessent’s announcement to imminently lift the sanctions President Trump imposed on Venezuela during his first term, so that oil sales could begin resume, as normal.

As I have detailed in this news brief and on stream countless times, President Maduro was given a laptop in March 2017. Maduro lawyer, David Boies, said: “In terms of the quality of the evidence, the extent of the misconduct, the amount of money, this was right at the top of anything I’ve seen in my career. It really demonstrated a long-running, massive and very sophisticated conspiracy.”

One year after Maduro was given the laptop (by the scorned wife of one of his corrupt officials), Boies filed civil lawsuits in the District of Southern Florida against 42 oil industry executives. He also filed those lawsuits in Geneva, Switzerland, where the companies involved all had offices. The Swiss authorities immediately raided the office of Helsinge, seizing computer servers that would launch a number of additional investigations, leading to countless arrests of industry officials in subsequent years.

Three months after the raid on the Helsinge office in Geneva, the Helsinge office in Miami was raided, and German-national Matthias Krull was arrested and charged with laundering $1.2 billion that had been stolen from PDVSA. A month later (August 2018) Krull pled guilty, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, though the judge advised that if Krull fully cooperated with authorities, he could have his sentence reduced.

Krull complied, and thus began “Operation Money Flight,” spearheaded by the Southern District of Florida’s International Narcotics and Money Laundering Section in cooperation with law enforcement in London, Rome, Madrid, and Malta, with the mission “to identify, investigate and prosecute high-level members of drug trafficking enterprises, bringing together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.”

Simply put, this was the operation that would connect the white collar cartel (oil/energy/minerals) to the traditional cartel that trafficked drugs, guns, and humans, and Matthias Krull was the key to unlocking the case.

Krull, who was responsible for laundering the money that was being stolen from the Venezuelan government by the cartel, mapped out the financial network for authorities, demonstrating how the embezzled funds moved from Venezuela to the US and Europe. He helped secure plea deals from two other defendants, and the information led to Swiss regulators sanctioning the Swiss bank Julius Baer. For his cooperation, Matthias had his ten year sentence reduced to three and a half years, which is the largest sentence reduction ever granted by a US federal judge.

Krull’s information provided the road map for sanctions imposed on Venezuela by President Trump, which were strategically crafted and issued in a layered sequence that allowed for asset forfeiture and to ultimately crush the corruption ecosystem.

  But the sanctions did something else that I had not fully appreciated before now.

I have previously relayed that because of Executive Order 13850 that President Trump issued in November 2018, which targeted entities doing busy with PDVSA by freezing bank wires and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the defense attorneys for the 42 oil officials were able to convince the judge that proceeding with discovery would violate national security. The judge agreed, and dismissed the lawsuits filed in Southern Florida.

 What I didn’t realize was that what this meant wasn’t that the case was over. What it meant was that the case was paused, due to the sanctions, and would resume as soon as the sanctions were lifted. Meaning that discovery to pursue that evidence will still be viable.

Not only that, but as soon as Scott Bessent lifts those sanctions, and the [now lawful] bank wire transfers proceed from PDVSA operations, the regulators who monitor those transfers will quickly begin to notice discrepancies between how the money is flowing now versus how it was flowing prior to the sanctions, triggering new SARs that will likely lead to new investigations.

When the information from the discovery from PDVSA’s 2018 lawsuit is coupled with the information that was seized in the Helsinge raids, not to mention any new intel that is generated from newly filed SARs, that is going to create a massive web of conspiracy that will surely implicate a number of individuals and corporations.

I plugged the lawsuit filings into ChatGPT (which provides a list of alleged embezzlers) and asked it to run scenarios of how this could play out. It speculated that a single banker cooperating could lead to multiple companies being exposed. It speculated that, given the information already publicly available, that the private banks involved (Julius Baer Group, EFG International, Credit Suisse) were almost certain to cooperate first, along with the compliance officers and internal auditors. It then ran through the whole list of defendants, gauging their likelihood to cooperate in exchange for reduced time.

While many of the senior executives will likely avoid prison time (though plenty have already been prosecuted), given the countless loopholes and insulation from the criminality, in these situations the real goal is the asset seizure.  However, what makes this case unique is the fact that certain PDVSA officials do have ties to the traditional cartels, and those entities have been designated terrorist organizations by the Trump administration. So things could get very interesting very quickly, if this plays out the way that it should.

So to answer Jon Herold’s question, “Why did Maduro have to initiate COG and remove himself from power?”

So that the optics would allow Scott Bessent to lift the sanctions against PDVSA, and open up the floodgates for discovery via lawfare, which should ultimately link banks and oil companies to the cartel.

Checkmate, Deep State.

If we are talking CIA and Drug trafficking you can not leave out the BANKS needed to launder the money.

Feb 09, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

Last week we had a story break about the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse, about old Nazi bank accounts and may others related to human trafficking and drug trafficking.

Now we have a story about UBS, which was forced to purchase Credit Suisse in 2023 by the Swiss government, when it became clear that Credit Suisse was facing insolvency.

Nothing about any of this feels organic.

We also had Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in his press conference (entirely in Spanish) following his meeting with President Trump, where Petro said that he had talked to Trump specifically about joining forces to go after all of the bankers who were the “bosses of bosses” in charge of the cartels.

An excerpt from his remarks:
PS – I managed to get the transcript of his statements and translate them into English, and read through the remarks during my show on Friday.

The Swiss Have a (Nazi) Banking Problem  — Badlands Team


U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that an independent investigation uncovered 890 previously undisclosed accounts at Credit Suisse with potential links to the Nazi regime during World War II….

The probe, conducted by U.S. lawyer Neil Barofsky, also found that Credit Suisse expropriated funds from accounts belonging to Jewish individuals during the Nazi era and transferred them to Nazi clients.

Additional details emerged regarding the bank’s involvement in schemes to assist Nazis in fleeing to Argentina after the war… Barofsky had initially investigated Credit Suisse as an independent entity, but was fired after the bank allegedly obstructed his efforts.

Following UBS’s government-brokered acquisition of Credit Suisse in 2023, UBS rehired Barofsky to continue the voluntary review.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

This is where things get very spicy, and very interesting. It’s also where the narrative “cloud of war” seems to benefit a White Hat plan.

Allow me to explain.

This Congressional investigation into Credit Suisse was initiated by Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.

You may recall that Whitehouse was the insufferable prick who viciously excoriated all of President Trump’s Cabinet nominations last year.

The reason Whitehouse opened the investigation was to determine whether Credit Suisse had helped Nazi SS officers flee Germany and escape to Argentina by providing them banking services with extreme discretion. Whitehouse was first put up to this task in March 2020 by the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), a Jewish human rights organization named for a famous Nazi hunter.

In 2021, Credit Suisse hired former US prosecutor Neil Barofsky to act as an independent ombudsman to conduct an internal investigation into the bank’s Nazi-era accounts. A year into his investigation, the bank pressured Barofsky into limiting the scope of his inquiry, ultimately firing him in December 2022— just months before Credit Suisse would face insolvency and be forced by the Swiss government to be acquired by their competitor, UBS Bank.

By this time, Whitehouse and the co-chair on this committee, Chuck Grassely had heard that Credit Suisse had likely fired Barofsky in an attempt to conceal the depth of the scandal, they intervened, demanding that Barofsky be reinstated— which he was, by UBS Bank, after the acquisition was completed in 2023.

I will remind you that Credit Suisse’s insolvency was most likely triggered by massive asset forfeiture that was conducted by the DOJ’s Operation Money Flight, which had arrested investment banker Mathias Krull in July 2018, after determining that Krull had laundered $1.2 billion worth of funds embezzled from Venezuela’s oil company PDVSA. While investigations into PDVSA’s stolen funds had been underway for years prior to Nicolas Maduro filing his infamous [though relatively unknown] RICO lawsuit against the oil industry in March 2018, the trove of evidence provided by Maduro created a map that led to multiple raids in both the US and Europe— including Mathias Krull.

If the name Neil Barofsky sounds familiar, that’s because he was the Special Inspector General at the heart of the 2008 financial crisis, appointed to investigate the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP,) but also the [$55 trillion credit default swap] Mortgage Fraud investigation in the Southern District of New York.

It was Barofsky who testified in a Senate hearing that, “It is extremely unlikely that the taxpayer will see a full return on its TARP investment,” referring to the $3 trillion bank bailout.

Prior to these gigs, Barofsky worked as an assistant US district attorney in New York, where he “prosecuted 50 leaders of the Colombian militia group FARC on narcotics charges and successfully argued one of the largest accounting fraud cases in history.”

Simply put, Barofsky understands the corruption of the banking and financial systems as well as anybody, and also has the unique experience of prosecuting Colombian cartel members on narcotics charges.

I share all of this to demonstrate that in this fog of war, we see multiple lines of inquiry coinciding in strange and wonderful ways, with Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 RICO civil action lawsuit running right into a congressional inquiry that was started by a Jewish human rights organization, with both investigations ultimately setting their sights on the Swiss banking system—specifically, Credit Suisse—the irony being that Maduro is the most staunch and vocal anti-Israel world leader of the Trump era, which is why the Zionists have been so eager to see him overthrown.

Digging into articles from the past few years, I found one from Argentina that specifically cites Credit Suisse and PDVSA, while alluding to Credit Suisse’s history with the Nazis going back to the 1940s.

It even discloses that Credit Suisse has over 18,000 accounts owned by both white collar criminals and hardened cartel bosses that total over $100 billion in assets.

Citing criminal investigations— not the Maduro lawsuit—the article states that the PDVSA-related accounts at Credit Suisse, which were used to hide the money that was embezzled and laundered from PDVSA, were all opened between 2004 and 2015. That’s interesting because that is the exact corruption timeline that is cited in the Maduro lawsuit— though the lawsuit did not mention Credit Suisse or any other banking institution.

So would this explain why the Venezuelan economy was completely gutted an collapsing by the time Nicolas Maduro comes into office in 2013, compounded by the artificially crashing of oil prices by the Deep State in 2014, which brought Venezuela’s economy to a grinding halt?

The article names former PDVSA official Nervis Villalobos, who was arrested in Spain in 2018.

In a separate article that I found that was published around the same time (2022) by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, look who shows up and gives insight on Villalobos:

That’s our guy, Mathias Krull, who became a cooperating witness for the DOJ in exchange for clemency on his 10 year prison sentence.

 The point is that the global banking system is being exposed—through multiple different tracks—for the fact that it is the actual cartel.

Reuters —Trump touts good relations with Venezuela, says oil magnate Sargeant does not represent US

And back to the start with Sullivan & Cromwell entering the picture.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

I recently learned that the Venezuelan opposition, operating out of the United States and led by Juan Guaido, among others, retained the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell back in 2019 to prepare to restructure the $60 billion in debt that Venezuela had

For those who aren’t familiar with this firm, I would implore you to look into them—listen to any of the many podcasts we have done on the subject here at Badlands—but the short version is that they were the CIA before there was a CIA. (Both of the Dulles brothers maintained employment there throughout most of their lives.)

It’s clear that when President Trump signed his recent Executive Order that intends to protect Venezuela’s oil profits from creditors and other vultures, Sullivan and Cromwell was at least one of the “targets” of the EO.

I would also recommend that you take a listen to last night’s episode of The Book of Trump—Hugo Chavez, Part Two—where I explain that it was ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson who started the Deep State’s crusade against Venezuela in 2007, ten years before he would become President Trump’s first Secretary of State.

Tillerson flexed on Maduro during Trump’s first year, leaning on Steve Mnuchin to issue sanctions against him. President Trump then fired Tillerson in March 2018—the exact same month that Maduro’s famous lawyer, David Boies, filed those infamous lawsuits against 42 entities related to a RICO-styled corruption case.

Boies filed in both the District of Southern Florida and in Geneva, Switzerland. Within days of this filing, the Swiss authorities raided the office of the lawsuit’s primary defendant, Helsinge. Four months later, Trump’s DOJ raided the Helsinge office in Miami, arresting banker Mathias Krull and charging him with laundering over $1.2 billion for not just the oil companies and banks, but also for the cartel. Meaning Krull is the keystone, along with Executive Order 13850.

So in spite of Delcy Rodríguez’s theatrics, all of the evidence suggests that she and Maduro are working with Trump against the Deep State/CIA, MI6, and Israel/Mossad.

Badlands Team

Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, publicly said she has had “enough orders from Washington” and called for Venezuela’s internal conflicts to be resolved by Venezuelan politics without foreign interference in her first public address since Maduro was removed from power.

“Enough orders from Washington on politicians in Venezuela. Let Venezuelan politics resolve our differences and internal conflicts. Enough of foreign powers,” Rodríguez said, according to AFP…

Badlands: Rubio Warns Force Remains an Option as US Presses Venezuela’s Interim Government

Secretary of State Marco Rubio 

said the Trump administration is prepared to use force to secure cooperation from Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, while signaling that the United States expects compliance through political and economic leverage before taking further action.


Trump Unveils Coordinated Trade, Energy, and Arms Moves Across India, Venezuela, and the Middle East — Badlands Team

As part of the agreement, India committed to halting purchases of Russian crude oil and shifting imports toward US suppliers and Venezuelan crude. Trump also stated that India agreed to reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers on US products, describing the goal as moving toward zero, resolving the 2025 US–India trade dispute tied to Russian energy imports.

In parallel, Trump said the United States welcomes Chinese and Indian investment in Venezuela’s oil sector, making the remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One around January 31–February 1. He stated that China “is welcome” to make deals in Venezuela, and that India is “coming in” to buy Venezuelan oil. Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but production has been constrained for years by sanctions and political instability; Trump characterized the current approach as allowing third-country investment and purchases as part of broader energy realignment.

The Badlands team reported this:

U.S. held talks with Venezuelan hardliner Cabello months before Maduro raid

January 17, 2026 By Aytan Shukurova, Reuters

Trump administration officials held months-long discussions with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello before the U.S. operation that led to the seizure of President Nicolás Maduro, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

The communications, which continued after the 3 January U.S. raid, were aimed at preventing instability inside Venezuela, the sources said. U.S. officials warned Cabello against using the security forces and ruling-party militants under his control to target opposition figures…

And Ghost added:

There is a clear continuity of the Maduro plotline between the first and second Trump administrations, with Ric Grennel meeting Jorge Rodriguez— the brother to now acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez— in Mexico City in late 2020. That story was even reported at the time as Grennel trying to secretly negotiate an exit for Maduro, though I am unconvinced that was the real intent.

Ric Grennel then reunited with Jorge Rodriguez in January of last year, after President Trump was sworn in, when Grennel went to Caracas to meet Maduro and bring home six Americans who had been imprisoned. We now have this story about Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello being warned about using private security forces against political opposition. What’s interesting is that Erik Prince appeared on Steve Bannon’s show last week to explain why it was important that the US not repeat the same mistakes we made in Iraq, and allow Delcy Rodriguez to contract directly with any private military contractor that may be needed to shore up security.

What’s interesting is that Erik Prince secretly traveled to Caracas in November 2019 to meet with Delcy Rodriguez, and it was even speculated at the time by the MSM that this was President Trump’s attempt to establish a backchannel with the Maduro regime, despite the fact that the Trump administration officially supported the opposition leader, Juan Guiado, in their public rhetoric.

About an hour or two after Prince appeared on Bannon’s show, President Trump took a few questions from the media while leaving the White House. When asked why he was supporting Delcy Rodriguez over Maria Corina Machado, he responded, “‘If you ever remember a place called Iraq where every single person was fired—the police, the generals, everybody was fired and they ended up being ISIS… I remember that.”

So Trump is simultaneously disclosing that the US State Department created ISIS when it hired all those private military contractors to run Iraq, while asserting that installing Maria Corina Machado as Venezuelan President would effectively yield the same result?

Based.

We are also learning that Machado brought with her to the White House an advisor who once publicly called President Trump, “an idiot,” for accusing former US President Barack Obama of spying on him.


Trump & Wright: America is Bullish on Relations with Venezuela — Badlands Team

As Energy Secretary Chris Wright toured infrastructure in Venezuela Thursday, President Trump took to Truth Social to talk progress in the embattled nation:

“Relations between Venezuela and the United States have been, to put it mildly, extraordinary! We are dealing very well with President Delcy Rodriguez, and her Representatives. Oil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money, unseen for many years, will soon be greatly helping the people of Venezuela. Marco Rubio, and all of our Representatives, are doing a fantastic job, but we speak only for ourselves, and don’t want there to be any confusion or misrepresentation. There is a story about a man named Harry Sargeant III in The Wall Street Journal….


WIKI

Harry Sargeant III (born December 30, 1957) is an American energy and shipping magnate from Florida. A former officer and fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps, Sargeant operates an expansive, multibillion-dollar conglomerate of private global enterprises consisting of aviation companies, oil refineries, oil trading operations, alternative fuels development, and oil and asphalt shipping, his father’s company, Sargeant Trading, being the largest fleet of asphalt tankers and barges in the world. He is also the owner of International Oil Trading Company (IOTC), a company that supplies aviation fuel to the U.S. Military in Iraq…

A Pentagon audit has found that the federal government overpaid Harry Sargeant III by as much as $204 millionon several military contracts worth nearly $2.7 billion. The audit by the Defense Department’s inspector general estimated that the department paid the oilman “$160 [million] to $204 million more for fuel than could be supported by price or cost analysis.” The study also reported that the three contracts were awarded under conditions that effectively eliminated the other bidders. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), who led the probe, asserted in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates that Sargeant had won the three jet fuel contracts, despite having among the highest bids, because he had an effective monopoly over the routes. Waxman accused Sargeant and his company of price gouging and “engaging in the worst form of war profiteering.”


Makes you wonder if Sargeant is another one of the oil Execs who ripped off the Venezuelan people.

Trump links Serbia to efforts to steal US presidential election

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday shared a post from the X platform on his personal social network “Truth Social”, which states that Elon Musk prevented the manipulation of the results of the 2024 US presidential election by blocking the computers of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia.

He lost the 2020 presidential election for a second term to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. He claimed that Democrats had stolen the election, and these claims culminated in his supporters attacking the US Congress on January 6, 2021, writes N1.

Now he has shared the message of one of his loyalists with a verified account, Johnny St. Pete, who on X published information from the American conservative commentator and columnist, Benny Johnson, who, according to him, X’s owner, Elon Musk, saved the 2024 presidential election by monitoring IP addresses in foreign countries through which votes were counted and blocking their computers.

“Musk knew he would win the election and it seems that this happened because they identified the systems and machines in foreign countries that would do what we saw in 2020,” St. Pete wrote in the post that Trump also shared, the Telegraph reports.

He adds that Musk tracked the IP addresses of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia and blocked the computers a few days before the 2024 elections. In his post, which Trump also seems to agree with, St. Pete refers to Emerald Robinson, a former White House correspondent who worked for several media outlets, including Newsmax, and is now one of the most well-known conspiracy theorists in the US….

PROOF: National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard CONFIRMS they have evidence Electronic Voting Machines are rigging elections

The voting machines are Dominion Voting Machines

“Voting machines contain evidence of voter fraud and manipulation according to several national security sources who briefed me on the issue. I’ve had some conversations with Tulsi Gabbard’s office themselves.

“We can now reveal that a secret team led by the United States attorney in Puerto Rico, seized rigged voting machines some time ago that was used in recent elections on the island and had turned them over to Tulsi Gabbard in a joint investigation at the ODNI, the office of the director of national intelligence”

“These machines were not allowed to be wiped, according to my sources, and reprogrammed by the vendor Dominion Voting Machines after being used in elections where widespread issues were reported”

“How bad were those problems? Of the 4,490 polling stations used in the last elections, 3,119, that’s equivalent to roughly 70%, were unable to transmit results from their respective voting centers according to the State Elections Commission in response to a lawsuit filed”

From Last Week


Clintons and Smartmatic

TEXT:

The Clintons had full control over the contracts for anyone getting involved in the Haitian recovery efforts. These efforts also included Hatian elections. The Clintons implemented Smartmatic into Hatian politics after the 2010 earthquake. This is the beginning of the global operation to install these manipulative, backdoor implemented electronic voting machines worldwide to steal elections and install the candidate of their choice. This is the election fraud cartel and its inception.

It is interesting that the Venezuelan engineers headed for Florida and incorporated in Delaware.

Smartmatic – Dominion Voting Systems Timeline:

Ownership, Acquisitions, Reorganizations, and Technology Transfers

by Dynamojo — ABCU|8

“Founded in Venezuela in 1997 by a team of three engineers – Antonio Mugica, Alfredo José Anzola, and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic specializes in the design and end-to-end deployment of technology solutions for specific applications. The company’s niches are: electronic voting systems, smart city solutions (including public safety and public transportation), identity management systems for civil registration, and authentication products for government applications.” [1]

On April 11, 2000, the same three Venezuelan engineers founded the company Smartmatic in Delaware, United States and opened its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with seven employees in November of that year.

Between Dominion, Sequoia, Smartmatic, and the CCP –The article that got [Sidney] Powell banned from Twitter

…In April 2003 in Caracas, Venezuela, Smartmatic officially unveiled its prototype for election automation. The testing of the prototype covered all the details of the process necessary for any type of election. During the tests, emphasis was placed on the system’s encryption capabilities, which are essential for the confidential storage and transmission of data, as well as the robustness of the software and hardware system’s components. The system passed all tests with no shortcomings, said a company spokesperson.

The voting system was developed entirely in-house by Smartmatic. That includes the integration of hardware and software systems from design stage to end-to-end deployment. Such a complex, purpose-built technical solution would require a strong, system-wide R&D capability that would not have been possible in Venezuela without massive technical and financial support. Although Smartmatric established a U.S. presence in 2000, almost all of its products were developed in Venezuela, a country where capital is scarce and scientific research and manufacturing are not sophisticated.

Key conclusion/question #1: where did the financing and R&D knowledge come from?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now let’s take a quick look at the book  Stolen Elections 

CannCon (Brian Lupo) and Ashe in America of the Badlands weekly podcast “Why We Vote” are dissecting this book chapter by chapter. Ashe and Brian probably have the best overview of the 2020 election fraud since they have spend years interviewing the main players. Of interest, they were supposed to interview Patrick Byrnes and at the last minute, literally as they were going on air, he backed out. Bynes now says he has no idea who Brian is despite the back and forths while setting up the interview.🙄 This was at the time he finally confessed he had been working for the CIA for 25 years.

This is an Article by CannCon that shows his more in-depth look compared to what he writes for The Gateway Pundit.

Grand Jury Testimony From Senator David Perdue Suggests Gov. Brian Kemp Halted Investigation Into 2020 Election

Before I get into this book, this is something about the CIA we should never forget.

I am not going to cover the first 4 chapters. However here are the links to the videos;

Badlands Book Club – Book 5 – Stolen Elections: Chapter 4

….


Badlands Book Club – Book 5: Stolen Elections – Chapter 5


CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Towner for a deep dive into Chapter 5 of Stolen Elections, continuing a detailed critique of the book’s central claims surrounding Venezuelan election interference. The discussion systematically breaks down assertions about Smartmatic, Sequoia, and Dominion, questioning timelines, source code claims, and the credibility of so-called whistleblowers repeatedly cited throughout the chapter. The panel examines alleged DOJ investigations, the role of intelligence agencies, and inconsistencies tied to money laundering cases, coup attempts, and U.S. political figures used to bolster the book’s narrative. Particular attention is given to how language like “fundamentally the same” is used to imply proof without evidence, along with scrutiny of charts, slides, and unnamed sources presented as authoritative. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize logical gaps, historical context, and technical misunderstandings, challenging listeners to separate documented fact from insinuation as the chapter’s argument increasingly unravels.


PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT & DISCUSSION

Since this is a long video, I am paraphrasing a lot of the discussion. I am also adding what I find on the internet that fleshes out the claims. However first there are some very important tidbits from: Badlands Book Club – Book 5: Stolen Elections – Chapters 1–3 Recap and CIA Narrative Breakdown

8:05 – Colonel Towner:

In every book written by a CIA agent, in the front with the copyright and such, it will have a statement that it has been reviewed by the CIA. If it is not written by a CIA agent it will be reviewed and have redactions and there will be a statement that it has been thru that review.

9:30 — The Colonel explains how the true whistle blowers get around this CIA meddling.

In this book, the author, Pazulo, makes it obvious he is writing in collaboration with a CIA officer, Gary Bernstein who he quotes excessively thru the entire book. They talk about all sorts of classified info like the Lebanese Venezuelan Drug dealer that was running drugs for the CIA, about Frank Holder being a triple agent. Was Holder a CIA asset too? The Colonel searched and there is no defamation case based on the Holder chapter which totally slanders the guy.

…

Back to the featured video.

9 min: Examples of the CIA building back doors into software by Colonel Towner.

I add some articles.

Crypto AG was a project in the aftermath of WWII. The Crypto AG company was a CIA front in Switzerland. It made equipment sold to embassies around the world. Trump got rid of it.

Spy Inc: the Secretive Front Companies Run by Intelligence Services

Another example is the Promis Software. The CIA in collusion with the DOJ stole the software from the inventor and created a backdoor, MOSSAD also ends up with a copy. The backdoor allowed monitoring of other money laundering operations and covered up the intel agencies’ own. This allowed the intel agencies to gather evidence and use it against their competitors. There is a discussion on how to make the evidence usable in court.

The Undying Octopus: FBI and the PROMIS affair Part 1 –

35 years later, file reveals dropped leads and confirmed allegations in “the scandal that wouldn’t die”

So when these guys ( who are CIA assets) say voter fraud can not be proved, well the CIA is expert at that.

Colonel Towner: “They have 16,000 emails from Smartmatic and 20,000 emails from Dominion gathered during discovery in the legal case against Fox News. They were involved in briefing Fox News. So why then did Fox settle if these dudes had all the smoking gun evidence from that case? The evidence they are using to write this book? These Emails include admission of fraud by Dominion (15 minutes)

At this point things get fun.😂


In 10/8/2024 there were four criminal indictments in FL for 2 officials working for Smartmatic. The Federal Asst Attorney is Michael Nadler, [they checked it is Jerry’s son although Brave AI at first says it is not and then says it is. A photo shows the poor guy looks just like Jerry Nadler.] you heard [read] that correctly but it gets better. Way back in 2018 Nadler secured the largest judgment to date against a Venezualian insider. The former treasurer who is now serving 10 years in prison.

November 27, 2018 Federal agents have seized $250 million from convicted ex-Venezuelan national treasurer Alejandro Andrade, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence

…..

December 13, 2019 Homeland Security Seizes $2250 Million from Convicted Venezuelan Treasurer

In trying to find info I stumbled on to this case. It is worth noting because none of this is cut and dry.

Court Rejects Sanctions In Venezuelan Oil Defamation Case

Ivan Freites, who lives in Miami, filed the lawsuit in January 2025, accusing Horacio Medina, who is the president of the ad hoc board of directors of PDVSA that controls the company’s U.S. assets, and others, including a former Venezuelan ambassador, a professor and a film director, of orchestrating a campaign to defame them as a result of their lawsuit in Delaware alleging PDVSA workers were denied compensation. Rodriguez and Otero, both of whom live in Switzerland, joined the lawsuit.

They accused the defendants of orchestrating a “coordinated and malicious campaign [of] defamation, intimidation, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and racketeering” as a result of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit against PDVSA and its U.S. subsidiary, Citgo, in Delaware claiming they were wrongfully terminated from their jobs at PDVSA in 2002 and 2003. Citgo’s motion to dismiss that lawsuit is pending.

Specifically, the plaintiffs accuse the defendants of portraying them as “traitors, frauds, and corrupt opportunists” who, among other allegations, received illicit funds from former Venezuelan officials.

….

Back to video:

Colonel: So this is the Attorney and DOJ that used a back dated Interpol arrest warrant to prosecute a guy who wanted to feed the people in Venezuela. And the USA nabbed him on the Tarmac under false pretenses. An Interpol arrest warrant Mike Pompeo personally orchestrated along with John Bolton.

The reason they want to make Alejandro the bad guy is to give Nadler a trophy. Nadler with his ‘Venezuela’ experience [2 cases, years apart] is one of the attorneys for the authors. Martin keeps writing he has 15 yrs experience working in the DOJ as a consultant for criminal investigations and Gary has worked 25 years for the CIA.

They also say “On our own and with outside resources, we decided to launch our own investigation.” Except they had Patrick Byrne, another long time CIA asset, funding them and Jerry Nadler’s son as their attorney so not exactly detached from ‘Authority’ [or at least the Deep State. — GC]

And on page 38 they say “They have no political agenda” [… Jerry Nadler… Bush & Obama’s DOJ… CIA??? — GC]

Martin also says “We conducted this as a criminal investigation. We have focused on collecting evidence and witnesses which is the opposite of what Trump’s Lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Guiliani did after the 2020 election when they made claims without conducting an investigation.”

The Colonel points out there were investigations. Rudy flew to Ukraine and got statements. Sidney had a pile of affidavits. However there were people inserted into their investigations to destroy them [This is a very important point. It would explain Sidney’s guilty plea in the Fulton case, would it not? — GC]


Funny how the story changed to a collision not an explosion.

Back to the video.

👉 Ashe: I — 100% agree. Sidney talked about Venezuelan whistle blowers but they never materialized. 👈 That was the key dispute between Tucker Carlson [while on Fox] and Sidney. Carlson humiliated Sydney on air saying she keeps coming to me and saying this stuff and there just isn’t anything. Tucker said “ We tried to vet every single aspect and there is nothing.”

Ashe goes on to say, “You will not convince me that Sydney Powell was operating in bad faith or going off 1/2 cocked. She was told stuff and even shown stuff and then her investigation was sabotaged. So now the authors are throwing her and Rudy under the bus implying that this [their investigation] could have happened if not for Sidney and Rudy.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Colonel has been saying the Cartel de los Soles does not exist. It was CIA.

Cartel De Los Soles does not exist, US government [Finally] admits

The US justice department classified the Cartel De Los Soles (Cartel of the Suns) alongside ISIS and Al-Qaeda in November. 43 days later, the US has effectively admitted the organisation does not exist – at least not as a cartel in any conventional sense.

The fact is, Cartel De Los Soles was always shorthand for high-level government corruption in Venezuela. It’s use goes back to the 1990s. The ‘suns’ refer to a rank insignia worn by grifting senior military officials. Which means the US classified a slang term in the same category as actual terror groups…

The Colonel then says these people, the senior military officials, were trained in the School of Americas.

School of the Americas: School of Assassins, USA — Third World Traveler

Founded by the United States in 1946, the SOA was initially located in Panama, but in 1984 it was kicked out under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty and moved to the army base at Fort Benning, Georgia. Then-President of Panama Jorge Illueca called it “the biggest base for de-stabilization in Latin America,” and a major Panamanian newspaper dubbed it ” The School of Assassins.”

Today, SOA instructors and students are recruited from the cream of the Latin American military establishment. The School trains 700-2,000 soldiers a year, and since its inception in 1946, more than 60,000 military personnel have graduated from the SOA.

There is a list of countries and number of graduates.

The colonel decided to visit this school in Ft Benning GA and who should she see walking out? A Columbian colonel.

So were the stories of Venezuelan Software engineers who developed hackable voting machines and turned whistle-blowers nothing more than CIA BAIT used to ensnare Sidney Powell and MAGA?

INTEL: US Military Raided Scytl Servers In Germany For Evidence After Vote Switching Scandal — GreatGameIndia

November 14, 2020

According to intelligence sources US Military raided voting machine company Scytl servers in Germany for evidence of manipulation in 2020 US Elections after it was exposed in vote switching scandal by GreatGameIndia. Scytl has a long history of election fraud in various nations including injecting backdoors in its election software. The issue has prompted experts to question why the sensitive job of counting votes was outsourced to a foreign company? How could a bankrupted Spanish company Scytl count American votes in Spain?

UPDATE: Philadelphia Rejected Dominion Voting Systems For Fear Of Foreign Interference In US Elections

According to Congressman Louie Gohmert, Texas there is “compelling evidence” of vote switching in the 2020 presidential election compiled by the Spanish electronic voting machine company Scytl.

The Texas lawmaker said in an interview with Newsmax TV that US military forces seized the company’s server in Frankfurt, Germany. Gohmert said there are some who believe it’s U.S. intelligence “that manipulated all this” to cover themselves…

Secret Germany Raid Reveals CIA Ties to US Election Fraud

More intelligence and reports are coming out to help Americans connect the dots of the election fraud carried out by Deep State operatives.

This information could also explain why Defense Secretary Mark Esper was terminated by President Donald Trump last week…. Now enters WikiLeaks. On Tuesday, WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents showing specific details of secret CIA hacking.

This included “malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized ‘zero day’ exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation.”

These leaks may have revealed “that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East.“…

Badlands Media Special Coverage – Fulton County Election Bombshell w/ Ashe & Canncon
Around 19 minutes to 34 minutes is the presentation by Mr Rossi showing WHY the duplication was NOT by ‘mistake’ as was the official story.

 The NEW batch was composed of ballots from DIFFERENT batches so it was not a batch run twice by mistake. More over Joe Rossi says the ballots were taken from the middle of the stacks.

“…The episode centers on testimony and evidence presented during recent Georgia State Election Board and Senate Ethics hearings, including ballot discrepancies, mixed ballot batches, and documentation showing officials were aware of vote shortfalls following the 2020 election…” 

 I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE 15 MINUTES TO LISTEN TO THIS PART OF THE 3 HOUR PRESENTATION — IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!

@JTAlexander_

Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here. If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they’d be reporting to Bondi and DOJ. Gabbard was very likely able to discern the relevant gist from the documents recovered because she already knew what they contained before she ever arrived.

Let me explain a bit further. To get a search warrant, a Federal Magistrate—one with no ties to Trump, and in fact a resume filled with Legal Aid and Public Defense—found probable cause that evidence of a crime existed in the narrow scope of what was being requested via search warrant. Considering how not-narrow of scope that warrant actually turned out to be, and Gabbard’s involvement, we can deduce several things.

First, that there is already a substantial case that some serious crime occurred and that this is not anywhere near the first evidence they’ve collected. Getting such a warrant from such a Magistrate would be essentially impossible otherwise; we can’t even get a similarly situated Magistrate to provide the pro forma signature on a Complaint related to Don Lemon committing several felonies on public video, with numerous admissions and confessions. Let’s not pretend here.

Second, that the foreign nexus has probably already been getting plugged away at with the foreign-oriented intelligence apparatus for some time. It is probable, I’d hazard a guess, that a FISA warrant or two have been employed. Gabbard already knew exactly what they were looking for and she wanted to be on scene for its recovery.

TL;DR — Somebody, somewhere, someday soon is completely f*cked. I’ll save conjecture for a follow-on post

FOLLOW ON POST:

Before I offer conjecture, I want to add just a little more context to why my POV has any use to anyone else. I was an intelligence/counterintelligence guy for more than a decade before becoming a lawyer and prosecutor. I’ve worked in connection to the FBI many times. I’ve worked on dual CI/LE missions and operations.

As far as my historical thoughts on the 2020 election, they more or less boiled down to “It doesn’t have to be a grand conspiracy. Four separate groups in four separate cities all getting the idea to dump some fake ballots; that’s all it took, and thats what the evidence indicates happened.”

I was never big into the Dominion or electronic vote tabulation theories because none of that would have been necessary to accomplish the goal. It also wouldn’t account, in my assessment, for the lack of a repeat in 2024. So, that said—

Conjecture: Gabbard was already working on something related to this by August; she’d given some offhand comments during a Cabinet meeting with the President when he was talking about burn bags not getting burned. Maybe they’re talking about burn bags at the election office in Georgia, but I’m not convinced.

I’ve worked elections (not in Georgia) as a staffer, and we never had burn bags. Nothing ever got destroyed. But who does use burn bags? All of the intelligence agencies, like the FBI, NSA, DIA, CIA, etc.

I suspect that something was found in the intelligence community’s possession substantiating a foreign nexus to election irregularities in Fulton County, Georgia. I suspect that FISA warrants and active Operations have pulled that thread and established an extensive record of evidence. I suspect that this is later into the investigation, rather than earlier. I promise, there is no tendency I hate more from rightwing influences than “Tick Tock” BS, but I think this might be legit. This looks like something significant

From another tweet: https://xcancel.com/morganwarstler/status/2017012526823985457

Morgan Warstler @morganwarstler Jan 29

Adding @MarkDavisGOP @DataRepublican Mark’s the GA expert, he can confirm or modify the below.

We spent an ungodly amount of time looking at GA voter records before Biden was sworn in.

In Southern ATL precincts, 8-10% of voters appeared to have touched two ballots: a mail-in ballot and a ballot cast in person. I assume most of them had no idea their mail-in ballot had been illegally requested or returned.

Several paid progressive companies had street teams, had a worker on each street, or in every apartment, who was paid to collect requests for mail-in ballots and then return the ballots.

In the voter records, when they vote in person, their mail-in ballot envelope and the ballot inside it are cancelled (spoiled), and their in-person vote is recorded.

My theory was that all the illegal cancelled ballots were for Biden, which made it easy for even a single person, whoever was opening and spoiling ballots, to replace legitimate Trump ballots with cancelled Biden ballots. In the data, 98% of mail-in votes went to Biden. Recounting the ballots cast wouldn’t do shit. BUT if you could gets hands on the spoiled mailed-in ballots, you’d see a ton of Trump ballots.

Fulton County admit not signing Tabulator tapes.

One of the replies mentions the book Stolen Elections I will get into that mess next week.

2020 GA Election Fraud is Confirmed

by Joe Fried | December 23, 2025

After five years, people are starting to learn the truth about Georgia’s 2020 election. 

few days ago, the Federalist reported that Fulton County, Georgia, had over 300,000 illegal early-vote ballots during the 2020 election. The votes were illegal because they were unsupported by poll worker signatures (contrary to Georgia law). In other words, the vote totals were miraculously born without a mother or father.

Independent analysts have known of this evidence for years. Indeed, a reference to the phony 2020 votes is included on page 108 of my book (Debunked?), which was published three years ago:

“All but two of the early vote tabulator closing tapes for 350,000 votes were unsigned. Thus, there was no chain of custody for those files.”

I had obtained that information from VoterGA, a nonprofit organization specializing in Georgia elections.

Despite strong evidence, this claim of fraud (and many other claims) was completely ignored by the legacy media until Fulton made a strategic blunder: It finally admitted that it doesn’t have any tabulator signatures supporting 315,000 early votes. Before that, the legacy media could simply dismiss the claim as a conspiracy theory. After the confession, however, concealment became more difficult. Knowledge of Fulton’s cheating began leaking out to a wider audience…

This is why I call it “psychosis in software”. Leftists are people who are driven into what would normally be considered a psychotic state.

Watch the mobs that chase people like Jake Lang. They are literally psychotic zombies. Leftist money has driven them nuts on purpose.

Sometimes FAFO can wake them up, but sometimes not.

Banker Mark Carney’s Rise to Power, Tavistock’s Century-Long Plan for Canada? | with Matt Ehret

TRANSCRIPT

… we’ve got some big moves happening in Canada with the new presidential area with Carney being at the helm. And I reckon that there is some kind of linkup between maybe things that happened prior to the Frankfurt School up to the Frankfurt School[?? Tavistock Institute ??] to what we see happening now…

We had a really interesting discussion about for example cybernetics and the role that that played in relation to the Tavistock Institute. So first of all I want to welcome you…

There’s a lot of very ugly things, ugly ideas that have been put into motion which could not have succeeded to the extent that they have at this moment in world history had it not been to a certain degree through the consent of those who have been governed by the system that they were born into. It’s not all our fault that we have this unjust, messed up system, but to a certain degree, the system requires consent uh for it to be successful in achieving the evil ends. Whether it’s through regime change, wars, enslavement, the abrogation of freedoms… So, I think you’re right. The idea of the aesthetical, the loss of the ability to judge beauty and ugliness, its inverse, was a precondition for getting us to cloud our minds sufficiently that we would allow for these ugly ideas manifest today…

SEE: 45 Communist Goals from 1963 also An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks, building, substitute shapeless, awkward meaningless forms.”  — Why – The Peoples Art Gallery

I think the gist was the Frankfurt School is an extremely important cult that emerged after World War I, which a lot of people today are not. If they’re watching your video, they certainly know the destructiveness of the woke ideology, but they don’t often know what or they haven’t done the work to understand what is the underlying philosophical foundation out of which something as absurd as wokeism could have emerged to the extent that it was even allowed to infiltrate and take over broad academia, education, and cultural policy more broadly. Right? So, the Frankfurt School is the place to go….

I think both both Tavistock Institute and the Frankfurt School both emerged at around the same period in world history really at the wake of World War I which was such an absurdly destructive war that had no reason. Even today when you look to scholars and professionals of history who you would think would be positioned very well to know what the reason for things were that happened in our past. You will not be able to find a good reason why World War I happened…

I would say [in a] truthful analysis of history that you could see that the the seeds of that war were actually being planted in the 1890s in the 1880s even. And the idea was always to get a certain trauma. There’s an idea of shock therapy to get a psycho-spiritual shock into the system of humanity to break people of their optimism of being human which is natural. Look at a child. A child is naturally optimistic. It has no arrogance. The child is trusting of those who are adults right? And they are emulating those who they give their trust to and they learn very fast, creatively. They try things. They’re not afraid to make errors. And that’s the human way…

….

I want to leave this video here and point out what was done to the Boomer Generation.

Spies Who Spilled Atomic Bomb Secrets

As part of the Soviet Union’s spy ring, these Americans and Britons leveraged their access to military secrets to help Russia become a nuclear power.

Despite being an ally during World War II, the Soviet Union launched an all-out espionage effort to uncover the military and defense secrets of the United States and Britain in the 1940s. Within days of Britain’s highly classified decision in 1941 to begin research on building an atomic bomb, an informant in the British civil service notified the Soviets. As the top-secret plan to build the bomb, called the Manhattan Project, took shape in the United States, the Soviet spy ring got wind of it before the FBI knew of the secret program’s existence.

Barely four years after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945,the Soviet Union detonated its own in August 1949, much sooner that expected.


So kids in the 1950s were taught to FEAR nuclear bombs. A very good way to instill trauma in an entire generation.

“Duck and Cover” – Futile Measures, or a Life-Saving Plan? | War History Online

Every American who went to school in the 1950s or 60s will remember air raid drills, the “Duck and Cover” slogan, and talk of fallout shelters. Images of elementary school children huddled under their desks with their hands over their heads are burned into American cultural history.


And when those same kids reached 18 they were then sent to die in Vietnam. Traumatized much?

History of Woodstock. Over 50 Years Ago | by Bill Petro | Medium

Woodstock, the Event. Over fifty years ago, 400,000 Baby Boomers attended one of the defining moments of American post-modernism.

August 15 marks the anniversary of the “3 Days of Peace & Music” held in 1969 at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York, southwest of the village of Woodstock. This outdoor music event, despite thundershowers, gave voice to the counterculture youth generation of its time. A documentary film followed it in 1970 and a top-selling soundtrack album…

Is it any wonder that drug use skyrocketed?

….

Back to the Transcript.

However, when you’re in unnatural systems, that of empire, that attribute gets broken very early on. So the World War I thing was designed to break that out of humanity and create a culture that would be conducive of embracing pessimism and reject all of the traditions, the moral, the family traditions, the the religious traditions that gave rise to the best of Western civilization. And the war was a great way of just creating a meat grinder of young impressionable, you know, 18-year-olds to 30 year olds who were at the prime of their life being seen horrors that no human should have ever seen. And at at the wake of that, not only did you have a political solution to those very same arsonists to organize the the war to begin with by creating secret alliances, not dissimilar from the sorts of things we see today, that got great powers to go and just fight each other unnecessarily because again, secret military alliances are what they are.

But then also in the wake of it was, you know, world government, a eugenics-based globalist scientific elite that would manage the League of Nations, that would manage Chatham House, that would manage the entire new world order. And Tavistock just to wrap it up and the Frankfurt School both grew out of that process but as solutions as ways to reorganize the entire human culture and human psyche around the new type of man and woman that they wanted to and other things that they wanted to bring into being after this shock…

…..

I am going to leave that video at this point. And take a quick look at The Frankfurt School and Tavistock.

Frankfurt School | History, Features, & Facts | Britannica

Frankfurt School, group of researchers associated with the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, who applied Marxism to a radical interdisciplinary social theory. The Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung) was founded by Carl Grünberg in 1923 as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research centre affiliated with a major German university. Max Horkheimer took over as director in 1930 and recruited many talented theorists, including T.W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Walter Benjamin.

The members of the Frankfurt School tried to develop a theory of society that was based on Marxism and Hegelian philosophy but which also utilized the insights of psychoanalysis, sociology, existential philosophy, and other disciplines. They used basic Marxist concepts to analyze the social relations within capitalist economic systems. This approach, which became known as “critical theory,” yielded influential critiques of large corporations and monopolies, the role of technology, the industrialization of culture, and the decline of the individual within capitalist society. Fascism and authoritarianism were also prominent subjects of study. Much of this research was published in the institute’s journal, Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (1932–41; “Journal for Social Research”).

Most of the institute’s scholars were forced to leave Germany after Adolf Hitler’s accession to power (1933), and many found refuge in the United States. The Institute for Social Research thus became affiliated with Columbia University until 1949, when it returned to Frankfurt. In the 1950s the critical theorists of the Frankfurt School diverged in several intellectual directions. Most of them disavowed orthodox Marxism, though they remained deeply critical of capitalism. Marcuse’s critique of what he perceived as capitalism’s increasing control of all aspects of social life enjoyed unexpected influence in the 1960s among the younger generation. Jürgen Habermas emerged as the most prominent member of the Frankfurt School in the postwar decades, however. He tried to open critical theory to developments in analytic philosophy and linguistic analysis, structuralism, and hermeneutics.


Tavistock Institute — British non-profit organization

The link to this article has completely disappeared overnight.


Tavistock Institute is a British non-profit research and consulting organisation formally established on 20 September 1947; it specialises in the study of group behaviour and organisational development. The institute was founded by a group of key figures from the Tavistock Clinic and British Army psychiatry, including Elliott Jaques, Henry Dicks, Wilfred Bion, and Tommy Wilson, among others. It operates as a registered charity and is headquartered at 63 Gee Street, London, EC1V 3RS, with sister organisations in China and Germany. The institute applies social science to contemporary issues through action research, organisational development, change consultancy, evaluation, executive coaching, and professional development, with a focus on uncovering hidden or unconscious dynamics in groups and systems…

So I will go with this.

Tavistock – The Best Kept Secret In America — Tavistock Institutions In The United States

Editor’s Note:

No one deserves more credit than Dr. John Coleman for bringing to light the history and true purpose of the City of London’s Tavistock Institute and its many subdivisional institutions and organizations which was exposed in stunning detail in his 1992 book, Conspirators’ Hierachy – The Story of The Committee of 300.

Dr Coleman has rightly complained that many NWO expose writers who have followed in his wake, have used his original research without crediting him as the originating source and in fairness to him, it should be observed that the information presented below is a reflection of his pioneering investigations into Tavistock.

…The ideology of American foundations was created by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London. In 1921, the Duke of Bedford, Marquess of Tavistock, the 11th Duke, gave a building to the Institute to study the effect of shellshock on British soldiers who survived World War I. Its purpose was to establish the “breaking point” of men under stress, under the direction of the British Army Bureau of Psychological Warfare, commanded by Sir John Rawlings-Reese.

Its prophet, Sigmond Freud, settled in Maresfield Gardens when he moved to England. He was given a mansion by Princess Bonaparte. Tavistock’s pioneer work in behavioral science along Freudian lines of “controlling” humans established it as the world center of foundation ideology.

Its network now extends from the University of Sussex to the U.S. through the

And yes it is also in China.

The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in China

…The cultural and spiritual atmosphere in China is one of knowing one’s place, acceptance of rewards and sanctions of life that are instilled from birth through the family, education, religion and state policy. Within these constraints, the personality is formed and the nature of human social relations and individual life’s ambitions are bound together. The result is social conformity that is meant for the greater good, on the one hand, and a tension for the search for personal contentment through developing individual insights and free expression of feelings, on the other.

How then does Tavistock Institute values, philosophy and practice resonate with Chinese traditional behaviour and culture? The invitation to work in China was said to link with the President of China’s dissatisfaction with educational systems that emphasise control and ‘correct answers’ and do not encourage enquiry, questioning and independent thought. Generally, independence of thought does not fit well with tradition, but as China grows in strength and influence in the world, it recognises the need for independent thinkers to challenge but not undermine social and political norms. In other words, to use Tavistock language, how will the Chinese in groups and teams maintain their individual sense of themselves, think independently and fearlessly with personal authority and still remain faithful to the task of the groups of which they are members? Tavistock group relations methods help to examine the inherent tensions between individual desire and responsible group membership…


Obama’s Friend Ayers: Kill 25 Million Americans

William F. Jasper October 31, 2008

In No Place to Hide, Grathwohl explains that the Weathermen actually believed that they would be successful in overthrowing the U.S. government and that, with the help of the Cubans, Chinese, Russians, and North Vietnamese, they would occupy America. Americans would have to be “re-educated” in camps, similar to what the communists did in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other countries they had taken over. Here is one of the chilling revelations Larry Grathwohl made in the film:

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious… [That is 10% of the population at the time. — GC]

This sounds wild… or does it?

Four Billion “Useless Eaters” to be Culled by 2050 – John Coleman, published 1993

“At least 4 billion ‘useless eaters’ shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of,

  • limited wars
  • organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases
  • starvation

Energy, food and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, starting with the White populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races.

The population of Canada, Western Europe and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents, until the world’s population reaches a manageable level of 1 billion, of which 500 million will consist of Chinese and Japanese races, selected because they are people who have been regimented for centuries and who are accustomed to obeying authority without question.”

I am now going to switch to the present. This is the guy who has appeared with Susan Kokinda of  Promethean Action on CryptoRich.

Alex Krainer


…Alex was born and raised in a socialist regime of former Yugoslavia, under one-party communist rule. As a 17-year old he joined a student exchange program and took up his university studies there, ultimately transferring to Switzerland on a scholarship where he completed a degree in Business and Economics. From Switzerland his path led him to Venezuela where he lived for a year and experienced his first banking crisis in 1994 when 9 of Venezuela’s 16 largest banks failed and brought the country’s economy to a grinding halt. The same year he returned to Croatia and joined the military where he served through 1995 during the last phases of Croatia’s war of independence. In 1996, upon discharge from the military, Alex took employment at an oil trading company in Monaco. In 1998 he became the head of risk and CEO in 2000. Alex had originated the firm’s research and development program in market analysis and application of neural networks and artificial intelligence in trading of financial and commodities markets. By 2007 Alex launched his own investment management business…

TRIGGER WARNING:

Alex sees Israel as the cat’s paw of the British/globalist elite who want control of the trade route – Suez Canal — and the Middle East Oil. They also want control of the Middle East as a gateway to the riches in Africa.

However Alex digs out some very valuable nuggets such as at 32 minutes. He points out the International Organization Immunities Act of 1945. It gives 76 international organizations legal and financial immunity making them completely above the law. He than points out Trump withdraws for 66, possibly negating those immunities.

At 34 minutes he gets into Elon Musk and Twitter. Just before Trump was inaugurated Elon fired off a bunch of tweets targeting Kier Starmer’s government and Gordon Brown about the grooming gangs scandal. The Brits were busy killing the scandal until Elon brought it back. That is why Starmer is targeting free speech, X and tweets. More than 12,000 people a year are arrested for online speech. He then follows the money from that UK sex trafficking and other crims (8 billion pounds) to terrorist organizations AND 9/11. 80 million went to Osama Bin Laden. This was all spelled out in a report prepared for Elon.

At 41:30 Alex gets back to the report sent to Elon. I will read to you the recommendations: “Investigate state complicity in terrorism financing. Whether UK government KNOWINGLY enabled VAT fraud proceeds to fund terrorism and protected those responsible under the guise of national security.

Among the conclusions it also states this”the UK government may have inadvertently or even purposefully become a key financial enabler of the 9-11 and 77 attacks.

Those are just two of the nuggets he brings up.


The Hidden Agenda Behind Trump’s CHAOS – Globalists in ‘Hysterical PANIC’: Alex Krainer

Alex Krainer lays out the players and the game being played on the geopolitical stage, as Trump ignites chaos by abducting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and sets his sights on acquiring Greenland by any means necessary. Alex points out the method behind the madness, including why Russia and China could actually be colluding with the US on bringing about a new global alliance, why the British elites are in a hysterical panic, how Israel and the Zionist lobby are fanning the flames, and much more.

NED

NED = National Endowment for Democracy.
“The National Endowment for Democracy is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions.” So WHY is it taking MY TAX MONEY?

In 1982, Ronald Reagan established NED in partnership with the United Kingdom and Australia to topple the “Empire of Evil”.

Trojan Horse: The National Endowment for Democracy

How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s… Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-that-be much embarrassment.

Something had to be done. What was done was not to stop doing these awful things. Of course not. What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name – The National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities…

Thus it was that in 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was set up to “support democratic institutions throughout the world through private, nongovernmental efforts”. Notice the “nongovernmental” – part of the image, part of the myth. In actuality, virtually every penny of its funding comes from the federal government, as is clearly indicated in the financial statement in each issue of its annual report… [Well that answers why Tax Money for funding NED was just approved again. — GC]

In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.

The Endowment has four principal initial recipients of funds: the International Republican Institute; the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs; an affiliate of the AFL-CIO (such as the American Center for International Labor Solidarity); and an affiliate of the Chamber of Commerce (such as the Center for International Private Enterprise). These institutions then disburse funds to other institutions in the US and all over the world, which then often disburse funds to yet other organizations.

In a multitude of ways, NED meddles in the internal affairs of numerous foreign countries by supplying funds, technical know-how, training, educational materials, computers, faxes, copiers, automobiles, and so on, to selected political groups, civic organizations, labor unions, dissident movements, student groups, book publishers, newspapers, other media, etc. NED typically refers to the media it supports as “independent” despite the fact that these media are on the US payroll… 

The NED, like the CIA before it, calls what it does supporting democracy. The governments and movements whom the NED targets call it destabilization.

National Endowment for Democracy, the legal window of the CIA

…In 2006, Kremlin denounced the proliferation of foreign associations in Russia, some of which would have participated in a secret plan, orchestrated by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), to destabilise the country. To prevent a “colour revolution”, Vladislav Surkov drew up strict regulation over these non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In the West, this administrative framework was described as a “fresh assault on freedom of association by Putin the “Dictator” and his adviser”.

This policy has been followed by other States who in their turn, have been labelled by the international press as “dictators”.

The US government guarantees that it is working towards “promoting democracy all over the world”. It claims that the US Congress can subsidize NED and that NED can, in turn and wholly independently, help directly or indirectly, associations, political parties or trade unions, working in this sense anywhere in the world. The NGOs being, as their name suggests, “non-governmental” can take political initiatives that ambassadors could not assume without violating the sovereignty of the States that receive them. The crux of the matter lies here: NED and the network of NGOs that it finances: are they initiatives of civil society unjustly repressed by the Kremlin or covers of the US Secret Services caught red-handed in interference?

In order to respond to this question, we are going to return to the origins and function of NED…

Looks like Andy Biggs agrees with Russia. I wonder how much of the funding of the Anti-Ice protests can be traced back to NED?

The CIA/USAID and New Hampshire

One thing I learned living in Uruguay in the 1980s — after the fall of the CIA-backed military dictatorship — is that the agency likes small countries where it can operate through a local tight-knit familial network. Torture and clandestine activities, in the right trusted hands, are “as American as apple pie”...

The CIA carries out clandestine activities overseas to cause regime changes — this is well known. What’s also apparent is that USAID is effectively a front for the CIA — a channel through which to fund various “non-profits” at home as well as overseas and to use those to steer policy and affect change. USAID stands for United States of America International Development. It is not “aid”.

Trawling through Datarepublican.com , you can look up names of New Hampshire non-profits and their directors and find out exactly how they link to USAID. Thus I looked up the NHCADSV, Granite Children’s Alliance (Children’s advocacy Centers) and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation — all funded in part by USAID and all tied to other non-profits funded in part by USAID.

These are also tied to news control organizations such as Internews which is also a recipient of USAID money as is Politico which promoted Amanda Grady Sexton of NHCADSV in 2016….

So, not only is USAID a slush fund for the CIA & dems, so is NED. This gives you an idea of what POTUS Trump is up against. However POTUS has help, what Q and Flynn call the ‘Digital Army.’

Lets start here from last year with DataRepublican (small r)

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican

11 Feb 2025

After thinking it over last night, here’s how I would summarize it: These seven NGOs (eight if you count the off-the-chart Solidarity Center) together function as an “off-the-books” shadow U.S. government.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created to unify the U.S. against communism. [Colonel Towner suggests that the ‘communism’ label is used to make the overthrow of a government, that will not cooperate with the transnational corporations rape of their country, palatable to the American public. — GC] Its four core organizations reflect a neat ideological symmetry of America’s two-party system:

➜CIPE pushes free-market policies, Solidarity Center represents labor and unions. [Centre for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), managed by the US Chamber of Commerce; –GC]

➜IRI serves Republican interests,[International Republican Institute (IRI), run by the Republican Party; — GC] and NDI aligns with the Democrats. [National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), run by the Democratic Party. — GC]

CEPPS [Center for International Media Assistance — GC] is another umbrella group that includes IRI and NDI but also brings in IFES [International Foundation for Election Systems — GC] under the guise of fortifying election integrity.

And to make sure the narrative sticks, Internews Network spreads these viewpoints through global media.

Most of these NGOs were born during the Reagan years. While not all USAID and State Department funding flows through them, they control the purse strings for much of America’s global financial influence.

DEI initiatives created a system of unaccountability and dependency, which ended up injecting more money into them and further entrenches their power.

They see any challenge to their authority as a threat to democracy itself. But their greatest enemy is still the same one they’ve had since the Cold War—Russia. They’ve never lost the “Cold War” boomer mindset.

In their minds, they’re the superheroes keeping America from crumbling. And that entitles them to their travel perks, cushy post-election gigs, and all the other benefits that come with running an unacknowledged empire.

Holly at Altitude @Cholly 11 Feb 2025

@AsheinAmerica and I have been going deep on searches & charts through the lens of elections.

Every search of the numerous election related NGOs all traced back to what we called “the motherships.”

Originally I thought the mothership orgs were the orgs controlling the “vertical” of elections.

That led me to posit there must be other mothership clusters that controlled different verticals like food, or energy.

We tested the verticals theory and afawct no. There aren’t other mothership clusters for other verticals.

All the stolen taxpayer money pumps through the same mothership cluster, and there is a splintering toward the end of the funding chains / loops as the orgs get smaller & more specialized.

It makes sense from a management pov. It would get very difficult to manage if there were too many mothership clusters.

Where this gets interesting from the election pov is in the smaller orgs that are indirectly funded. Orgs on both sides of US elections are funded.

It’s counterintuitive. Why would funding go toward adversaries?

My theory is to guarantee full control of US elections, the smart move is to own both sides.

It’s like big businesses hedging their bets in politics. Often times they contribute to both parties.

I believe there’s more to this election control / NGO issue. My next step is to start overlaying “the people” factor. That will likely give us a clear picture of who’s driving this bus.

Thank you DR for your work!

This is very important if you are trying to build a RICO case. If you follow the threads of various problems to the top you keep hitting the same organizations. It is like the same Mafia organization controls gambling, prostitution, extortion and bribery. Colonel Towner calls it the Criminal Syndicate. I call it the Cabal.

THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”

The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.

Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”

Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.

This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a “threat to democracy.” To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.

The SomaliFraud Investigation Has a Cash Problem..

https://xcancel.com/wcdispatch/status/2012323710900765111

Remember our number:

$700MM moved in two years, a burn rate of rough $1MM, every day, for around 730 days. We’re talking about an industrial pipeline of cash. There are more than a problems here, but let’s go through a couple:

1. Physical cash is not infinite at the branch level. It’s ordered, tracked, and replenished through a Federal Reserve district system that is designed to notice abnormal demand.

Now put that into Minnesota. Not New York. Not California. Not Texas.

Minnesota has a finite banking footprint, finite vault cash, finite armored-car routing, finite Fed cash-office capacity relative to the national hubs. So if MN alone was sourcing anything close to $1MM a day in high denominations for two straight years, you’d see strain. You’d see persistent, repeat demand, unusual denomination ordering, recurring cash logistics. You’d see it because the system has to move the paper from somewhere. And the Fed doesn’t “guess” about that. They account for it. That kind of sustained pull would stick out to the people whose entire job is watching demand, ordering patterns, and abnormal flows.

2nd Problem:

Two states wouldn’t fix his issue. OH + MN still leaves the same daily requirement. You still need a million dollars a day, still need continuity, still need reliability. You still need enough branches, enough institutions, enough cash order capacity, enough distance between the transactions so the pattern isn’t screaming from the dashboard. If you try to push that volume through only OH & MN, you’d concentrate the signal, compress the footprint, and create repetition.

Repetition is how you’d get caught, not on day one, but at some point within that 2 year period, you are getting nailed. When a pattern forms, multiple layers of oversight can see it. Bank compliance teams see it, BSA/AML monitoring systems see it, Federal cash distribution oversight sees it.

Airports… Inter state agencies.

You get the point.

And that leads us to our 3rd problem:

If the story is “they declared it at the airport,” that does not make it invisible.

Declarations create paper trails. So if the cash is being sourced, consolidated, and exported on a drumbeat for two years, the only way it stays operational is by spreading the sourcing footprint wide enough that no single district, no single metro, no single cluster of branches is carrying an abnormal share of the load. That means our “two-state” theory is implausible if not impossible. And it doesn’t hold on how many different tripwires would start chirping once that demand becomes consistent.

So where does that place us in SomaliFraud right now?

It places us in a multi-state network—AT LEAST—5 states. More plausibly 5-8.

Why?

Because 5-8 states lets you dilute the daily pull into smaller, more “normal-looking” slices. It lets you rotate institutions and geographies, avoid hammering one Federal Reserve district with a sustained, abnormal appetite for high-denomination currency, and avoid creating a single obvious hotspot. It also fits the only thing that matters in a long-running operation. Continuity.

A scheme that runs two years can’t depend on one state’s vault cash and one district’s tolerance.

It needs redundancy.

It needs alternate routes.

It needs multiple hubs.

Essentially, is mandatory for a large enough footprint that the volume becomes background noise instead of a siren. A five-to-eight-state network is the only mathematically feasible option. And that’s exactly why our lens is widening.

More soon. 🇺🇸

I do not envy POTUS Trump in his quest to unravel this mess!

On a side note, we all know that the judiciary, esp in Democrat run states has been corrupted thanks to Blue Slips in the Senate. This makes prosecuting in a state like Florida much more attractive. If this whole mess; Russia,Russia,Russia, the stolen 2020 election, the judicial travesty of Jan 6th, the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago,  and now the Anit-Ice protests against deportation of illegal aliens, can all be connected, then the court case could possibly be moved to a better venue.

Although I am not an economist, I have observed that as mankind harnessed increasingly better sources of energy, civilization exploded. Mankind went from literal manpower – slavery & subsistence farming — to the first agricultural revolution, using animal power, and to the second agricultural revolution with mechanical power provided by factory-made equipment and tractors. As people were freed from having to scrounge for food, leisure time increased and innovation took off.

Where are we now? It has become obvious since President Kennedy’s death that the United States economy is deliberately being hamstrung.


“In fact, giving society cheap, abundant energy at this point would be the moral equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun. With cheap, abundant energy, the attempt clearly would be made to pave, develop, industrialize, and exploit every last bit of the planet—a trend that would inevitably lead to a collapse of the life-support systems upon which civilization depends.”

—  Paul R. Ehrlich “An ecologist’s perspective on nuclear power”, Federation of American Scientists Public Interest Report vol. 28, no. 5-6 (May-June, 1975) page 5.

And from Obama’s Science Czar.

That brings us to POTUS Trump and his cabinet’s work on the economy.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says at 16 minutes:

I think we’re going to see big employment growth this year. And these GDP numbers. I think the real vindication here, Chris, is that the 4.3% GDP number for the third quarter was really 4.7% or 4.8% in the private sector. We shrank the government by 3 to 4 tenths of a percent of GDP. So that [4.3% GDP] was a muted number. The private sector of the United States of America is going gang busters and I think we’re going to see it in 2026. So yeah, President Trump has these hats in the oval that say Donald Trump was right about everything. He was definitely right about economics this time.

What Is Gross Domestic Product (GDP)? — Investopedia

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) includes consumer spending, government spending, net exports, and total investments. It functions as a comprehensive scorecard of a country’s economic health. GDP may be adjusted for inflation and population to provide deeper insights. Real GDP accounts for inflation, while Nominal GDP does not.

“It [GDP] functions as a comprehensive scorecard of a country’s economic health.”

I am not an economist, but I absolutely have a major problem in calling the GDP (as defined) the “scorecard of a country’s economic health.”

What does the spending on bureaucrat salaries do to our economy? It stifles it!

6/21/2013 — Federal Regulations Have Made You 75 Percent Poorer

U.S. GDP is just $16 trillion instead of $54 trillion… in the absence of six decades of accumulated regulations—a median household income of $330,000 instead of the $53,000 we get now.

I was aware that Susan Kokinda and the people at Promethean Action did not like either Keynes OR Mises. Iwas re-listening to a fiveweek old interview of Susan Kokindaand she mentioned LaRouche’s physical economy, and asked myself the innocent question, “What is LaRouche’s physical economy?” OH! Boy, did I fall into a major rabbit hole thanks to my curiosity bump.

I was aware of Keynesian Economics of British Fabian origin.

H/T Investopedia

And Ludwig von Mises and Austrian Economics

Tradebait2 has brought these two short videos to the Qtree on occasion. Hayek & Mises were both from the Austrian school of economics.

March 2011 Fabian: John Maynard Keynes, the stealthy enemy of human freedom by Sanjeev Sabhlok

He is a science graduate who went into economics. I thought I had a poor opinion of Keynes, however this guy reams him.

…Without firm roots in classical economics, I believe that modern economists tend to rapidly move into statist solutions.

Keynes still has a significant presence in the academia through New Keynesianism (e.g. Stiglitz, Kruman), and receives prominence each time the US government agencies and Federal Reserve Bank – that have diligently followed his ideas – mess up things.

Indeed, that’s the other point – that Keynes is still very prominent inside government agencies. Keynes is the cause of serious government failure across the world and significant devaluation of currencies. The (Fabian) London School of Economics, the League of Nations, the New Deal, the welfare state, various international central bank concepts that led to the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Brettonwoods system which led to the collapse of the gold standard, and even the United Nations – all have been strongly influenced by the Fabians, but more particularly Keynes. 

Hence his ideas MUST BE OPPOSED. Till today I only opposed his ideas. From today, I now oppose his person, as well. Keynes at Harvard has opened my eyes….

However I had never hear of physical economics before and wondered if it was close to my observations. I started my search by looking up ‘Physical Economics’ in Brave.

Physical Economics

In economics, physical economics is the study of economic phenomenon from the point of view of physics.

POLITICS

In politics, a version of “physical economy” is often found promoted by Lyndon LaRouche, or his followers, but is a version of physical economics that is a barely digestible rewritten spinoff of what seems to be the biosphere-noosphere ideas of Vladimir Vernadsky, employed for nothing more than polemics.

This is the cited reference & I found it very hard going because I felt as if I was dropped into the middle of a PhD discussion of a subject I never even knew existed. The following are the few pieces that made sense to me.

The Science of Physical Economy — Economics as History

Introduction

IN THE IMAGE OF THE CREATOR

…That is the science of physical economy which must now be adopted as the standard of practice used to replace what is already, since September 2007, the hopelessly failed versions of what are taught as “economics” seemingly everywhere among professionals and politicians today.

  • For example: Let us begin the presentation of the subject of this chapter by considering the physical form of economic capital in its primary character as technology, as technology is defined, rather than as a nominal value of money, in terms of qualitative degrees upward in both productivity and in the requirement of the effective equivalent of orders of increase of energy-flux density.   Consider the consumption of an investment in physical capital, from the time of its “birth” as a type of physical-functional factor in economy, rather than matters of price, considering the time until that capital investment might be considered as “used up,” as by age, wear, or technological obsolescence, in its presently invested incarnation as an actual feature of the process of production of physical wealth. Consider the value of that capital to be expressed as the relative rate of increase of productivity, per capita and per square kilometer, with which the rate of related consumption by that body, is correlated in practice.   Locate this aspect of that capital, similarly, in respect to the losses incurred, as through technological attrition, as a result of failing to supersede previously established technology by a new technology which increases the associated, relative productive powers of labor, and, also, provides the benefit to society of the consumption of the related product.

     
  • Then, ask yourself: when, in time, was the gain actually produced, and when, in time, for example, was the loss which is realized as the effect of failing to invest in that capital, as capital so defined? What does such a question evoke concerning the use of the term “physical space-time” in the field of a science of physical economy? When is what value earned, and how?

    What does that say about the follies of financial accounting, on principle? What does that say about what is presently taught as economics? What does presently taught, monetarist economics suggest itself, mistakenly, to be?…

…Today, lost time being lost time for our culture, so, we must try to make up for that, even decades later, here and now, before it is too late for present and foreseeable future generations combined. The matter of the principles of a science of physical economy, is now become, suddenly, a most urgent affair for crucial decisions to be made at each new passing point in time, including crucial decisions which must be made by society, top down, in not more than some weeks ahead, even, in the worst case, more and more, some days.

The substitution for this approach, by one based on deals, compromises, and what-not, connived at over several months to come, would be clinical insanity in the measure of their effects….

That Constitution was built on the cornerstone of the establishment of the U.S. constitutional credit-system, “still on the books” of our original Federal Constitution, which, as all witting actual patriots know, bans monetary systems, constitutionally, from the sovereign practice of the United States…

…in the late 1960s, the space-program as fostered by the dramatic initiatives of President John F. Kennedy, was advancing by proverbial leaps and bounds within the aspect of the national U.S. economy focused upon the space-program itself, despite the otherwise reigning moral and physical decay of the U.S.A…. 

In that limited sector of our economy, by about the time of the Moon-landing, we were generating an fairly estimated ten cents’ worth of growth through science-driven progress, for each penny spent. It was the other parts of the economy, not the aerospace venture, which were the already looming threat of failure, since about 1966-1968. Since that time of the Moon-landings, there have been no more such U.S. manned landings on that Moon, during four decades, up to the present day….

..the U.S. economy failed, first under the effects of the Kennedy assassinations of the 1960s, the utterly fraudulent launching of the protracted U.S. war in Indo-China, in 1964, and in the rising tide of “environmental” contraction of the U.S. economy’s net investment in basic economic infrastructure during the 1966-1971 interval. 

Thus, since March 1, 1968, the U.S.A. itself has undergone more than four decades of self-inflicted, net rot and ruin, all this chiefly the result of trends in policy-shaping guided by each and every Federal government which was installed from 1969, on, as extended to the presently accelerated moral and economic mass-insanity of the presently utterly truth-free Obama administration… and also Tony Blair-copied death-care policies…

After poking around this first time, I gave up and asked Yandex AI:

Lyndon LaRouche’s physical economy is a concept that aims to increase the relative potential population density of society by applying new technologies based on the discoveries of new physical principles. The key economic criterion, according to LaRouche, is not to buy cheap and sell expensive or to acquire rare goods, but to increase what he calls the “La,” i.e., the carrying capacity made possible by the constant introduction of new technologies. 1, 4

Some of the principles of LaRouche’s physical economy include:

  • Integration of international credit into a global set of fixed-exchange-rate systems to prevent significant fluctuations in exchange rates. 1
  • Regulation of prices and trade based on long-term physical investment. 1
  • Increase in energy-flux density produced per capita, per unit surface, and per gram of material used. 14
  • Use of nuclear energy as a reliable and cheap energy source. 5

LaRouche’s ideas are considered by some to be a form of pseudoscience. 3


This is from the Schiller Institute, the LaRouche organization that Susan Kokinda and Promethean Action are NOT a part of.


Jacques Cheminade: The LaRouche method of physical economy

TRANSCRIPT:

….the conception of Alexander Hamilton, the founder of the American System of political economy, which is little known in Europe. Hamilton introduced Article 1, Section 8 into the U.S. Constitution, which gives power to the U.S. Congress to issue letters of credit on the Federal government in favor of the Public Treasury, which in turn calls on the National Bank to coordinate the allocation of these credits. This concept of public credit redefines the very nature of debt: It reflects the intention of the government to pursue an action it deems necessary and to incur debt to achieve it. There is a “debt” incurred, but with no money circulating in the process, as the credit- money is just the means by which state credit is transferred and is not “liquidity.”

Hence, this system of public credit defines “value” as a means to increase the productive powers of labor (again, per capita, per unit of surface area, and per unit of materials employed). We have a physical economy in the service of man, in which the physical production of tangible goods resulting from the income generated by the project itself will supply the means to pay back the debt. Money only has a value if it is linked to the issuance of credit. Therefore, it can be called an “antiusury” system.

Abraham Lincoln said, “Man is not the only animal who labors, but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.” It is on such improvement, in contrast to monetary speculation or hopes of financial profit, that the entire Hamiltonian system is based, a system expanded and further developed by Lyndon LaRouche.

This approach is totally contrary to what has prevailed in the United States and Europe since the suppression of national banks and the public credit system. In the United States, it is by perverting the Constitution that the system was handed over to the megabanks and Wall Street. In Europe, it was the destructive development of the European Union which forced the nations to depend on credit from the same megabanks. The result is what we have defined at the beginning of this presentation: financial looting and a world, just as in the 1930s, headed straight toward war if nothing is done to stop it…

The World to Come

LaRouche’s approach has been partly taken up in the agreement of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Chinese “One Belt, One Road” project of the New Silk Road, with their credit institutions, such as the BRICS New Development Bank which has recently doubled its capital and intends to sign contracts in the currencies of the member states rather than in dollars or in euros. Therein lies a hope, and not in our transatlantic world that is running into a wall.

Therefore, let us leave behind the world of before, and fight for the world to come. Let us imagine teams of scientists, engineers, qualified technicians and workers, combining their skills and know-how on the scale of Eurasia and the world, and given the resources needed to use and permanently expand them.

Imagine how they will spark a new spirit of co-development and win-win partnership, and Lyndon LaRouche’s method of physical economy. Imagine the United States and us Europeans rediscovering our sense of mission and our constitutional principles. Is that not what the Ode to Joy, although it has become banal, really expresses? We must take Europe back from those counterfeiters of the European Union, in order to build a real Europe of projects and fatherlands and beyond, an entente, détente and cooperation among the countries of the entire world. It is with such a project, and what it inspires, that we will find in ourselves the selfrespect needed to to finish off the dominant predatory system.

LaRouche’s challenge is to muster in the 21st Century all means of a physical economy devoted to mankind to build peace through mutual development, exactly those means which were mobilized for war during a 20th Century which was financially imperial and ideologically Russellite.

Physical economy can become the most beautiful of all sciences since it will produce and transmit the good. It is the science of the human mind. LaRouche shows us the road to hope, which will not be made of roses but of combat…

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FINALLY after a lot of digging I actually came up with a decent description written by Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. It is only 2 pages. I will include a few snippets.

The Meaning of the Term ‘Physical Economy’ —
The Larouche Publications

Although modern physical economy was an outgrowth of the development of what was called “Cameralism,” from the work of Georgios Gemistos (Plethon) during the 15th century, through the work of such as Jean Bodin, and through the circles of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Leibniz, Alexander Hamilton, et al., physical economy itself may be said to come into existence with Leibniz’s 1672 paper on “Society and Economy,” and was developed by Leibniz thereafter around the themes of the interdependent roles of heat-powered machinery and transformations in technology in increasing the productive powers of labor per capita and per square kilometer.


…Leibniz’s work in physical economy was introduced into the American English-speaking colonies and the United States during the 18th century…  relevant portions of Article I of the U.S. Federal Constitution, and corresponding features of the reports of U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton to the U.S. Congress on the subjects of Credit, a National Bank, and Manufactures are exemplary of this influence….

The division of labor can be illustrated by histograms. Thus, in the case of successful economy, the changes in the allocation of the full histogram will be consistent with the set of inequalities b). In that case, the primary inequality, a), describes the action which produces this successful result.

The practical primary work of the physical economist is devoted principally to determining, through aid of empirical studies, the appropriate scaling, and refining of this twofold set of inequalities. The secondary practical work of the economist is to map the interaction between physical economic processes, on the one side, and financial and monetary processes, on the other.

8) The crucial feature of the practice of physical economy today is the not-entropic quality characteristic of the primary inequality. The following summary suffices for purposes of broad definitions.

The characteristic feature of successful physical economies is the increase of the potential population-density of society, in per capita, per household, and per square kilometer terms. The cause of this increase is predominantly those changes in the productive powers of labor which are typified by investment in improved technologies, as the possibility of such (physical) investment is conditioned by requirements for use of sources of power and improvements in the development of the environment used for this purpose.

This measurement defines individual productive labor in terms of biophysical and cultural demographic functions of households, and defines existence of households, of individual productive labor, and of output of productive and other labor in terms of per household, per capita, and per square kilometer terms. What is measured is the production of the per capita productive powers of labor by means of the process of production so defined…

In these terms, the characteristic inequality, is:

That the continuing increase of the ratio of “free energy” to “energy of the system” is contingent upon a continuing increase of the intensity of “energy of the system” per capita, per household, and per square kilometer.

The increase in the productive powers of labor in this way, correlates with required increases in power- and water-density, with a shift from a primarily rural production, a continuing increase in basic physical infrastructure of production, and with a shift within the composition of the urban labor-force increasing relatively the ration of producers’ goods over households’ goods, of machine-tool component of producers’ goods, and with an increase in the ration of employment in “pure science and technology.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


The following LaRouche article is care of Matt Ehret’s Rising Tide Foundation.
Matt does Breaking History with Ghost (Gordon) at Badlands Media. Now I understand where Matt got some of his ideas.


From Matt:

…The term “a rising tide lifts all boats” was first popularized by America’s 35th President John F. Kennedy who used this poetic image as a means of conveying the idea that true wealth raises everyone rich and poor alike. Describing the construction of energy projects across America, JFK said in September 1963:

“When we develop these resources in the Northwest United States, it is just as well that the country realises that we are not talking about one State or two States or three States; we are talking about the United States. Our people move freely from east to west and even once in a while from west to east, but in any case, the country becomes stronger. There is an old saying that a rising tide lifts all the boats, and as the Northwest United States rises, so does the entire country, so we are glad.”

In recent years, this phrase was revived by China’s President Xi Jinping, who used it to convey the benefits of all nations’ participation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a comprehensive plan for win-win cooperation and inter-cultural connectivity centering around energy projects, rail lines, new cities, telecommunications and education.

Just like JFK’s program which involved exporting scientific, industrial and technological progress to poorer nations in order to help others’ help themselves, China has also begun extending the BRI program to Africa, Middle Eastern, Eurasia and even Latin America. And, just as JFK extended olive branches to “enemies” such as Russia and China to work together on great infrastructure and even space exploration, China has extended olive branches to the west with multiple offers to join what foreign minister Wang Yi has called a “chorus of nations working to create a beautiful symphony.” —

Given the significance of Trump’s extraction of Maduro, I thought I would gather information we have not yet looked at.I am not going to try and do transcriptions since my back said NO! (An arthritic back and cold do not mix, darn it!)

I am not going to try and put much order in the offering either, although I am going to put the information I think most important first as well as the new material I snatched from the comments at the Badlands Media substack

I am going to start with “Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action” (H/T Scott)

While You Watched Venezuela, Trump Quietly Put Canada On Notice

“While mainstream media focuses on regime change in Venezuela, this video reveals Donald Trump’s covert battle against the British Empire’s financial backbone.

Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action breaks down how Trump’s actions extend beyond traditional geopolitics, targeting the nexus of narcotics trafficking, terrorism, and offshore banking systems.

Discover the deeper implications of this fight, the role of Canada, and why even the British intelligence and John Bolton see this as a significant shift.”

I lied, here is a partial transcript:

3:20 …listen to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He told us exactly what this is…

Is the United States now at war with Venezuela?

…It’s not a war against Venezuela. You cannot continue to have the largest oil reserves, in the world under the control of adversaries of the United States. Not benefiting the people of Venezuela, stolen by a handful of oligarchs around the world, including inside of Venezuela, but not benefiting the people of that country.

Did you catch that? He didn’t blame socialism. He didn’t blame communism. He blamed oligarchs and drug trafficking organizations. [Remember the CIA always used Communism as the excuse for regime change according to Colonel Towner. Changes that benefited the oligarchs and NOT the people.– GC]

Now, that takes us back to Trump and his targeting of Canada, which no one seems to want to talk about. Because when you put the words oligarchs and drug trafficking organizations in the same context, you aren’t just talking about the cartels in Mexico or Colombia. You’re talking about key characteristics of the British Empire, which is the epitome of oligarchy. Or to put it another way, the rule of the few, which is what oligarchy means… [Remember The Network of Global Corporate Control — GC]

The British Empire has been the most notorious entity in the world when it comes to making money off of drug trafficking, going back over 200 years, including the notorious opium wars of the 19th century. This has never stopped. It’s just taken a new form….

4:56

…It is run by the empire’s favorite central banker, Mark Carney, and it is the major political outpost for the crown in North America, used for drug trafficking, as the president mentioned, illegal immigration, and terrorism.

…Carney has actually facilitated the financing arm of the cartels in his former role as the head of the Bank of England…

8:49

If this is a war on drug trafficking organizations and oligarchs, as Rubio says, then it is automatically a war on the global banking system because you can’t separate the two. The target isn’t just jungle labs and drug boats. It’s the city of London.

Let’s remember where Venezuela is. It borders the Caribbean. What else is in the Caribbean? The origin point for the infamous system of offshore banking established directly by the British. Back in 1960, the largest banking houses in London, working in partnership with the government and the ex-checker, established 14 completely separate secret jurisdictions. These are the offshore banking centers that now hold between 50 and 75 trillion dollars with all 50 of the world’s largest banks operating within them. These offshore centers exist outside the control of sovereign governments. They’re secret, they’re unregulated, and they facilitate illegal activity. What we once had, a legitimate regulated banking system, has been transformed into a criminal enterprise.

Interestingly, the Russians have known this for years and have been more vociferous about it than any Western government. In a 2014 speech, Viktor Ivanov, then Russia’s top drug enforcement official, laid it out clearly in a Moscow conference. He said,

“This allows us to confidently assert that narco money is the foundation of the modern financial system. It is not surprising that during the first peak of the financial crisis of 2008 2009, Antonio Costa from the UN announced that the top banks in the world dumped in around $352 billion of narco dollars to use for interbank borrowing to address the critical shortage of liquidity. And he goes on to make clear that the global financial system needs drug money to survive. The very existence of the global financial bubble, he said, is based on precisely this opportunity for banks to attract liquid narco money. In fact,this garbage fertilizes the present economic system…

…Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant recently commented that 50% of his job involves issues of national security. Now, think about it. Since we started targeting drug boats and lighting up the communications channels of the cartels and their financiers, I bet Treasury Secretary Bessant has been just as busy as Pete Hegseth…

END TRANSCRIPT

At 12:40, she mentions CryptoRich and Tom Luongo so let’s see what they have to say.

Trump vs Venezuela – What We Are Not Being Told! | With EM Burlingame & Blaine Holt

In that substack Tom posts the full video + transcript .Tom also highlights the most important part and I will reproduce it here.

As Dr Burlingame explains:

“We need to understand is that, just like Russia prior, 20-some odd years ago and China, now over the last 10 years – 10, 11, 12 years – we have now gone to war with the financialists and their Kill Chain…

“But you know, the point is is that the drug- and human trafficking trade and the flooding of South and Central Americans into our country, in the tens of millions is an intelligence operation on behalf of the financialists, headquartered out of Wall Street, London, Amsterdam, Venice, Rome, Switzerland…

“Roughly $2 trillion a year in cash – cash – floods into the banking systems in the United Kingdom and the US and Continental Europe and is what’s been keeping the banks afloat since 1971, increasingly, since we went to fiat…

“How do you keep the whole thing having the appearance that it’s working? You need a ever-larger amount of illicit funding. Human trafficking is taken off in the last 20 years to an unbelievable, unprecedented-in-history rate. Why? Because humans beings – and 19% of that’s for sex – the rest is still labor or organs, right?

“Over 50% of it is still for labor slavery all over the world, including in Europe, including here, in its various forms. Humans, as Illicit commodity have the highest return, the highest margins of any illicit product in the world, even way above drugs, including fentanyl…”

Here is the Youtube: (27 minutes)

So who are CrypoRich’s guests?

General Blaine Holt is a retired one star General with numerous recent appearances on John Michael Chambers’ “Eyes on Gitmo” series:

WHY ISN’T TRUMP ARRESTING THE CLINTONS? Gitmo Panel Breaks Down Bondi, DOJ & Military Tribunals (1 hr 30 min)

First 25 minutes is about the Wiener laptop & then Tina Peters. There is a brief discussion of Venezula since the extraction of Maduro had not yet occurred. They then get into elections.

39 minutes. —  Ret. Lt. Col. Matt Mack: “You can make a change locally. Hand count ballots one day election. …I talked to some folks at DOJ yesterday, the CIA is the BANE of all of this. They have been thwarting Tulsi Gabbard, trying to stop all of this. John Ratcliffe what the hell are you doing!” You are not helping the president, you are being controlled by John Brennan’s people…” And he goes off on a rightous rant against the CIA.

41 minutes — Ret. Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt

We have the only President in history that has not been anointed by the RIIA, the Royal Institute of International Affairs — Chatham house? The point is, this is the war. A 5th generation war and it is about to go kinetic.
Because what happens is, and you saw this in Tahrir Square when you had Egyptians, who could not feed their kids any more and they watched them die. Then they went and grabbed a gun… they are pushing us to that place. If you do not believe me, that’s fine, Go to Ireland. Go to the UK. Go to France, Go to Spain. Ireland is on the leading edge of complete society break down. Because it wasn’t just election integrity that was the problem.

You have to go to the WHY! Why is there an election integrity problem. Why don’t our politicians want to see one paper ballot one vote. Why do our politicians want to protect illegal invaders that come to our country to destroy our culture…

Our government, the Swamp, all of its tentacles, the Congress, all of the lobbyists, industry, the corporatists, the private equity bankers, everybody who profits off this system. They are ALL in on it They are the Swamp and have no desire to solve any of Americas problems. BUT they will suck the crap out of them with their taxes and resources and in some cases steal their land and their money.

So here are the battle lines. It is We the People vs the Swamp and there is a global edition of this. It is we the people vs the globalists, the city of London kids the ones that make Elon Musk’s wealth look like middle class wealth…. If you want to solve this problem, you had damn well better know who your enemy is.

A recent article from EM Burlingame just for Scott:

Make No Mistake: They Fear Tulsi Most of All

or: How the Estrogenic Empire Finally Met a Matriarch Who Remembers the Old Ways and Won’t Kneel

…She’s our compass from the World of Woman. Our surety. The unseen hand that ensures our wrath isn’t wasted.

And they, women, have left her exposed.
One woman.
One true matriarch of the old patterns against the massive festering swarm.
Where are her peers from the World of Woman?
We men can kill till the end of time, and never truly protect her.
Only women engaged in the wars of women, that ruthless all or nothing blood feud has waged since the beginning of time, can.

And that swarm… you feel it, don’t you? The estrogenic tide. The inverted, the resentful, the hollow men and their shrieking harlots and harpies. They sense her and they convulse. Because she’s the restoration. The return of the healthy, the whole, the fierce guardian of the hearth. The Matriarch. Her strength’s a mirror, and in it they see their own withered, poisoned, worthless souls.

They can’t bear it.

Their time’s ending. You hear me? Your time of poisoning the well, of sterilizing the spirit, of trading our children’s future for your comfort… it’s over!

We need more of her. A legion of such women. A sisterhood of shadows, rising not to be like men, but to be the unbreakable wall around the creche that men can’t form. The final line….

Guess, EM Burlingame does not know about us. 😂

Tom’s next article & Video:

Patrick Byrne: Venezuelan Intelligence Has Penetrated the White House at the Highest Levels

At the bottom it includes an open letter to Trump & the American People From: Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones, retired Major General of the Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela.

…Patrick Byrne is so frustrated about the Color Revolution being waged against America that he made the rounds on three shows yesterday and dropped a lot of bombs and he burned his cover, finally admitting that he’d been a CIA asset since the early 2000s, telling Emerald Robinson that he’d had a non-standard relationship with them until he started working for John Brennan around 2006 to become a “Tier One Intelligence Asset”.

Around 2010 or 2011, Barack Obama elevated him to a “National Intelligence Asset” and in 2016, he was handled by Peter Strzok and James Comey to bribe Hillary Clinton for $18 million, during the early phase of the Russia Hoax….


As one of the guys at Badlands said. “Once CIA ALWAYS CIA…. OR YOU ARE DEAD.” How much of what Byne says is truth, I do not know. A Limited Hangout will put out maybe 80% truth so they can wrap it around the poison pill they are delivering. Given that, I think the crap about Marco Rubio & Ric Grenell is just that CRAP!

I also think ‘they’ are trying to poison the well in regard to election fraud. Because without election fraud they are in DEEP kimchi.

An alternate view:

The REAL Reason Behind Why The United States Just Took Over Venezuela?

…Here’s what I think this move was all about….

ONE: You may not know this, but dating back to the Bushes, Venezuela became a huge CIA hub.

Literally a large chunk of what ails the world probably originated or had some times to our CIA in Venezuela…

TWO: It has long been rumored that a large part of the election rigging was “outsourced” to companies with operations in Venezuela.

Here are the 14 minutes that got Lou Dobbs kicked off Fox News because he dared to cover it:

How about President Trump himself telling you the same thing point blank?

One commenters under the CryptoRich video, points to this info on the processing of light versus heavy crude oil to say the video is incorrect.

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4753767-why-the-u-s-cannot-use-its-own-oil


Seems that is Bull Schiff according to this from The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers. (I wanted to correct it now since it looks like it may become a talking point.)

Heavy vs. light crude oil: U.S. refiners process it all

The global crude oil market provides refiners and crude oil producers the opportunity to buy and sell the many different qualities of crude oils produced around the world.

Two of the most important crude oil qualities are sulfur content and viscosity. Some crude oils are “heavy” or viscous, while some are “light” or more free-flowing. Some crude oils have high sulfur content, known in the industry as “sour” crude oil, and some contain much less sulfur and are considered “sweet” crudes. Heavy sour crude oil is more complicated to refine into lower-sulfur fuel and requires investment in additional process units. Many refineries in the United States have made the investment needed to process heavy sour crude oil into low-sulfur fuels but also have the flexibility to process light sweet crude oil.

“U.S. refineries can take in pretty much any kind of crude oil in the world and turn it into the cleanest-burning fuel that you can find on the planet,” says Stephen Fisher, a refining strategy advisor for BP….

WHO was Buying Venezuela?

Her Name Was INGA: Venezuela and the War You Were Never Shown (that is everywhere)

“She” is everywhere and nowhere. “She” never signs her name, never takes the podium, never runs for office. “She” doesn’t overthrow governments—“She” reorganizes them.

Chaos is not the breakdown of the system. Chaos is the system operating as designed. What you are watching—across governments, economies, wars, elections, and institutions—is not failure, incompetence, or decay. It is coordination masquerading as disorder. At this scale, chaos does not emerge spontaneously; it is engineered, routed, financed, narrated, and maintained. Once you learn to read its patterns instead of its headlines, the illusion collapses, and a single truth becomes unavoidable: none of this is accidental.

I’ve watched this pattern long enough to know it isn’t theory. It’s method. My handle on X is Chaos Coordinator, and I wear it deliberately. I don’t pretend chaos isn’t happening—I map it, track it, and connect its patterns. I pride myself on coordinating chaos in the only way that matters: by observing how it is manufactured, routed, financed, justified, and repeated across borders. That is precisely why I’m qualified to speak about the global disorder we’re living through, because once you follow the money, the narratives, and the timing, it becomes impossible to believe any of this is accidental. Chaos at this scale requires planning, alignment, and maintenance—and I’ve spent enough time watching the machinery turn to know the difference between failure and design…

“She” is patient. “She” doesn’t need you to believe in “her”. “She” only needs you to keep arguing with your neighbor while she rearranges the board.

This is why the chaos feels synchronized. Why crises stack instead of resolve. Why accountability dissolves the moment you reach for it. Because the problem isn’t left versus right, war versus peace, or spending versus saving. The problem is that INGA has learned how to govern without ever appearing to govern at all….

This parallels what I have been thinking for years.

A few comments from Badlanders


🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸 (He is in France & his substack is https://substack.com/@trumpistdelafayette )

It seems President Donald Trump needed to meet rapidly Nicolas Maduro and his wife

He just said they had been exited from Caracas by US Special Forces…

I wonder what triggered this action at the worst moment (full moon) for the maximum efficiency of Special Forces, which do prefer NO MOON !

It resembles a powerful SHOW of power, very well staged…

📝 Who Will Get Venezuela’s Oil? 📝

On the main beneficiaries of the U.S. Armed Forces operation

The U.S. operation in Venezuela immediately sparked debate about the economic objectives of Trump’s team. Many even, for some reason, began calculating Venezuela’s oil reserves.

But the story is somewhat more complex than a simple “they attacked to seize the oil” narrative. It is rather about the redistribution of assets that are already under American control, [Actually City of London control -GC] primarily through JP Morgan, which we have written about in detail before.

🔻 What assets are we talking about?

▪️ The strikes were preceded by a wave of court hearings concerning one of the most important assets — CITGO, which is formally a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA.

▪️ CITGO is an oil-refining company headquartered in Houston, Texas. 100% of its shares belonged to PDVSA. It owned three refineries, as well as dozens of other facilities and retail outlets.

▪️ For Venezuela, this structure ensured the refining of heavy oil extracted in Venezuela. Through the CITGO network, Venezuela had access to a supply channel and the largest U.S. market, could attract investment into the country, and mitigate the effects of sanctions.

▪️ After Venezuela and PDVSA defaulted, creditors began demanding repayment of debts, using CITGO shares as collateral. In 2018–2019, creditor lawsuits began, and in 2023, a court decision launched hearings on the sale of CITGO to repay debts.

At the same time, the company’s debts and the deal to sell it are fully controlled by JP Morgan.

The process remained stuck, as the acquisition of the assets faced potential legal consequences and overlapped with a personal conflict between JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Donald Trump.

Therefore, with the arrival of a new U.S. president, the struggle for the asset intensified. Dalinar Energy, which was supposed to buy CITGO and whose deal was overseen by JP Morgan, began losing ground, while the court supported an alternative bid from Amber Energy — a company linked to one of Trump’s allies.

🔻 How did this happen?

▪️ At the beginning of 2025, new auction rules were established. The court now evaluates the winner not only by price, but also by the probability of closing the deal, including approval from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and settlement of competing claims to the asset.

▪️ By spring–summer, everything seemed nearly decided: Dalinar Energy (created by Gold Reserve to acquire CITGO) was considered the favorite, having offered over $7.3 billion. By August, the process was said to be nearing completion.

▪️ But then, after Trump’s team intensified its activity on the Venezuela track, Amber Energy entered the scene (another company created specifically to acquire CITGO by Elliott Investment).

▪️ What was surprising was that Amber Energy offered only $5.9 billion, and after lengthy hearings the court ultimately approved the deal in favor of Elliott Investment’s subsidiary due to guarantees presented to OFAC that the transaction would be completed without costs or lawsuits.

🖍 Why are these events important?

The beneficiary of Amber Energy, which is claiming the assets, is Paul Singer — a major donor to the U.S. Republican Party and one of Donald Trump’s key sponsors in his presidential campaign. Given their ties, it would be entirely in Trump’s style to secure control over strategic assets and strike at competitors.

🚩 As a result, the White House moved to action: after losing CITGO, Venezuela is left with resources without distribution channels and oil without refining capacity, while the U.S. applies pressure on the “shadow fleet.” In the long run, this will lead Venezuela toward economic degradation and a weakening of its political position.

❗️ Amber Energy still has many legal issues to resolve, but today’s events in Venezuela will at least weaken the negotiating positions of Trump’s opponents at JP Morgan and corporations linked to the bank. Venezuelans, meanwhile, will simply be presented with the fact of revised agreements.

Now isn’t that an interesting Factoid? JP Morgan (well connected to the Rothschilds) was trying to grab CITGO and Trump seems to have snatched the prize out of their hands. 😂

Moon of Alabama:

Trump Abducted Maduro But Did Gain Nothing

…Or maybe the point was just to show off what the Trump administration might do to others:

In 1992, American conservative writer Michael Ledeen reportedly said: “Every 10 years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.”

Actually, such gratuitous demonstrations of might betray the fear that American world power is slipping. Beating up a weaker opponent to prove your strength is the action of an insecure bully.

Venezuela is likely to welcome U.S. oil companies which are willing to invest in the country. But it will be nothing like the bonanza Trump seems to envision. Venezuelan oil is heavy and costly to retrieve. One needs dilution fluids or steam to bring it to surface and to transport it to markets. With global oil prices expected to stay around $50 per barrel there is little incentive for the necessary multi-billion investment.

I expect that after this weekend’s action nothing will change. The U.S. does not want to govern Venezuela. It doesn’t want to put boots on the ground. The blockade, an act of war, will continue for a while but at some point the ships will have to go back to their harbors. As there is nothing to win from this the Trump administration will move towards its next target.

Meanwhile Israel is getting ready for another strike on Iran. The U.S. is repositioning troops to the Middle East while Iran prepares to hit back with all its might.

In a week from now Venezuela will likely be out of the headlines while business as usual continues.


I think he missed the election theft part of the story not to mention the money laundering and human trafficking.

CRAP!!!

However on second thought, has Maduro already made a deal and that is why he is being let off the hook via NY southern district? How machiavellian, keep your word with Maduro AND smear NY southern District, all in one act.

How US used 40,000-ton warship named after famous WWII battle to transfer Maduro


…Maduro was detained in Caracas along with his wife, Cilia Flores, and flown by helicopter to the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima before being transferred to the United States, according to a statement posted on X by US Attorney General Pam Bondi… 


Catching Maduro outside his ‘safe room’ and a trip on the open seas (not a plane) seems to indicate that Maduro was interrogated and records were recovered.

What a bang of a start to the New Year!
