“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer

Henry Rifles created in Civil War era.
Henry History
Benjamin Tyler Henry His invention: The Henry Rifle
In every field of human endeavor there is a select group of individuals who are given credit for making such major contributions that they become synonymous with their achievements. In the area of firearms development, one name that must be included on that honored roster is Benjamin Tyler Henry. His invention: The Henry Rifle.
It was Mr. Henry who conceived the first practical, lever action repeating rifle patented in 1860. The Henry gave a single man the firepower of a dozen marksmen armed with muzzle-loading muskets.
America was engulfed in the searing flames of the Civil War, and the first Henry rifles were in the hands of Union soldiers by mid 1862. Due to its revolutionary design and rapid rate of fire, the Henry quickly found popularity both with the military and civilian purchasers. Early sales were especially brisk in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana.
With its reliable .44 caliber rimfire metallic cartridge, the Henry produced a rapid and highly accurate fire. Reports of the successful use of Henry rifles in the Civil War were numerous. The incredible firepower unleashed by the Henry is evident in Major William Ludlow’s account of the Battle of Allatoona Pass. “What saved us that day was the fact that we had a number of Henry rifles” wrote Major Ludlow. “This company of 16 shooters sprang to the parapet and poured out such a multiplied, rapid and deadly fire, that no men could stand in front of it and no serious effort was made thereafter to take the fort by assault.”
After an encounter with the 7th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, which had the good fortune to be armed with Henrys, one Confederate officer is credited with the phrase, “It’s a rifle that you could load on Sunday and shoot all week long.”
The Henry rifle would go on to play a significant, if not dominant role in the frontier days of the American West. It would soon become one of the most legendary, respected and sought after rifles in the history of firearms. A contemporary rifle collection isn’t complete without one.
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

OK, this is interesting. Weird, but interesting.

Lurking Lawyer here. Follow up to a late subcomment on a previous thread, with more clarity. If the supposed presser is timed to IG report release, then based on Sessions comments, McCabe firing, and Nunes memo, here is what is going on. Sessions explicitly said had brought in an experienced non-DC DoJ prosecutor. That means somewhere in flyover country. Inference is to work alongside IG, who can only refer crimes for prosecution. We know there were crimes, because McCabes firing was for ‘lacking candor—including under oath’. That is codespeak for criminal federal perjury 18USC1621. McCabes Saturday statement shows Comey also committed perjury—same statute. Trumped tweeted this weekend, just left out the legal part (but he surely knows). We know from the Nunes memo on FISA court abuse plus Comey’s sworn testimony about the dossier being unverified plus McCabes sworn testimony that without it there would have been no FISA warrant or renewals that Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Comey, and probably McCabe made false attestations about the Steele dossier to FISA. Those are all felonies under 18USC1018 (and diGenova says there are a total of six felonies—one suffices for this comment). We know from Comey’s mid 2016 announcement about Hillary and her email server that Hillary is guilty under 18USC798, which does not require intent and is the same statute used to send the navy submariner to prison for year (who Trump just pardons, which means he and Sessions know a lot more about what I am saying than they are letting on… And just to round up, it is highly likely that Strzok, Page, both Ohrs, and others gave false statements to the IG early in his investigations, in violation of 18USC1001 — the same felony to which Mueller forced Flynn to plead guilty. Now, where does this lead? The flyover country prosecutor has impaneled a secret grand jury. He is presenting them with this evidence. There is no need for the grand jury to hear witnesses on any of this. They are returning sealed indictments on all of the above named. Remember, Trump rally chants of ‘lock her up’ were more of a campaign promise to be kept. The DNC and Hillary’s campaign paid Fusion GPS to pay Steele for the dossier, when OHR met Steele in London and reported back to FBI in writing that Steele was rabidly antiTrump (per Nunes memo). More than enough reason formTrump to direct his white hat team to proceed on HRC. Only thing I don’t know is whether they can also get Obama. The Susan Rice CYA email about the Jan 5 WH meeting (especially if there were priors) written as Trump was being inaugurated suggests maybe yes.
So my quite educated guess is that the rumored presser will be Trump and Sessions unsealing all these prebaked indictments (the Big Ugly unveiled), with diGenova then to unpack it all to stunned Dems and MSM. And that will nicely set the midterms table for Crumbs Pelosi, Shutdown Shumer, the Dem stiffed DACA deal (a brilliant Trump gambit), and a lot more.
2. Durham ‘take-over’ Huber [select parts re: CF-i]? What if there’s another prosecutor (outside of DC) assigned by SESSIONS w/ the same mandate/authority?
Sometimes you need to ‘take one for the team publicly’ before you are vindicated as a hero.
Q
Hopefully we will soon see if Q is correct about Huber, Durham and Sessions.
The Debriefing 17
In 2017, Trump began laying the legal minefield. In 2019, he pulled the trigger — reissuing Executive Order 13224 under EO 13886 and quietly upgrading it into a global financial kill switch.
🤔Imagine the U.S. government has four big legal "kill switches" sitting on a shelf. Each one was built at a different time, by a different president, for a different reason. But they all work the same way: the president flips the switch by declaring a national emergency, and… https://t.co/tTKA8AZyHs
🤔 Imagine the U.S. government has four big legal “kill switches” sitting on a shelf. Each one was built at a different time, by a different president, for a different reason. But they all work the same way: the president flips the switch by declaring a national emergency, and once it’s flipped, the Treasury Department gets superpowers.
What the superpowers actually are:
👉 Freeze anyone’s money. Any foreign person, anywhere in the world, who fits the category. No trial. No warning. No Congress vote needed for each one.
👉 Block their property. Houses, bank accounts, crypto wallets, yachts, businesses frozen.
👉 The “you helped them, you’re next” rule. If you did business with someone on the list your bank, your lawyer, your shipping company, your crypto exchange you can get added to the list too. This is the cascade. One name becomes ten. Ten becomes a hundred.
👉 The secret list. There’s a public list everyone sees, and a classified list nobody sees. We don’t know how many names are on the secret one.
The four switches:
Switch #1 Terrorists (built 2001 after 9/11, upgraded 2019). Originally for al-Qaeda. The 2019 upgrade made it cover way more people anyone who “trains,” “leads,” or “supports” a terror group, defined broadly.
Switch #2 Corrupt people and human rights abusers (built 2017). Cartels, kleptocrats, traffickers, dirty officials anywhere on Earth.
Switch #3 Hackers and election meddlers (built 2015, upgraded 2016 and 2018). Russian troll farms, ransomware gangs, foreign election interference.
Switch #4 Sketchy foreign tech (built 2019). The one used to ban Huawei.
Here’s the part that matters:
Every single one of these switches was flipped on and never flipped off. Not by the president who came after. Not by the next one. Every year, each president has to sign a piece of paper saying “yep, still an emergency, keep it running.” Every president has signed. Every year. For up to 25 years on the oldest one.
That means the legal machinery to freeze assets, blacklist networks, and unravel criminal organizations worldwide has been quietly running in the background the entire time through Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump again. It doesn’t matter who’s in the White House. The machine keeps running.
Why this matters for the framework:
When you see a giant crypto seizure ($15 billion from Chen Zhi), or a cartel boss arrested, or a Russian oligarch’s yacht impounded, or a crypto mixer shut down that’s not random. That’s one of these four switches being used. The switches were built years before the enforcement wave started. The enforcement wave is just the switches being used the way they were designed to be used.
The simple bottom line:
The legal weapons were loaded over 20 years, by presidents from both parties. Now they’re being fired. The fact that they keep getting renewed no matter who’s president is the strongest evidence that this isn’t one administration’s project. It’s an institutional one that survives elections. That’s what the four-pillar table will show on one page: the weapons, who built them, when they were built, and the fact that nobody has put them back on the shelf.
I think, like the Patriot Act, they were NOT intended for good but as weapons to be used against Patriots. Now they are being used in the service of the USA.

Wow. This new release from Chuck Grassley on the Clinton Foundation is a staggering 91 page treasure trove. I just skimmed it, and it is all there, Uranium One, Russia, Boeing, Haiti, Hillary’s brother, and all the other stuff. And the FBI did not even open a full investigation, whereas with Trump they had one false tip about barroom gossip from three months earlier and they immediately launched a full enterprise investigation. Absolute travesty that Comey, Strzok, Atkinson (who shows up here as well), and others have not been held to account.
VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION Mr. Todd Blanche Acting Attorney General Department of Justice The Honorable Kash Patel Director Federal Bureau of Investigation
Dear Acting Attorney General Blanche and Director Patel: For over a decade, I’ve raised concerns regarding alleged actions taken by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, including her use of non-government email for official business, mishandling of highly classified information, potential campaign finance violations, and dubious Clinton Foundation financial dealings.1 For instance, on May 17, 2016, I wrote a letter to then-Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey raising concerns that many of the emails found on her non-government server blurred lines between the actions taken on behalf of the State Department, Clinton Foundation, and Teneo, a private firm founded by a former counselor to President Clinton.2 Then, on July 6, 2016, I requested information from then-Director Comey regarding public corruption issues and the Clinton Foundation and questioned the Director on whether the FBI investigated the Clinton Foundation regarding former President Clinton’s speaking fees from foreign governments while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.3 Further, on August 8, 2016, I wrote to the Department of Justice (DOJ) asking the Department to explain its reported decision to drop reported inquiries into Clinton Foundation and State Department interactions; specifically, allegations that the State Department, during Secretary Clinton’s tenure, took favorable actions for Clinton Foundation donors….

“Deep in the bowels of the CIA, someone must be nervously, but very privately, wondering: “Whatever happened to those nuclear blueprints we gave to the Iranians?”
“The story dates back to the Clinton administration and February 2000, when one frightened Russian scientist walked Vienna’s winter streets. The Russian had good reason to be afraid. He was walking around Vienna with blueprints for a nuclear bomb...
“The Russian, who had defected to the US years earlier, still couldn’t believe the orders he had received from CIA headquarters. The CIA had given him the nuclear blueprints and then sent him to Vienna to sell them – or simply give them – to the Iranian representatives to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). With the Russian doing its bidding, the CIA appeared to be about to help Iran “leapfrog” one of the last remaining engineering hurdles blocking its path to a nuclear weapon.”

In early 2025, the law firm, Covington & Burling out of Washington DC, raised legal concerns that ActBlue’s CEO lied to GOP investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens.
This shocking development was published in The New York Times this week….
The ActBlue fundraising scandal is heating up in the Lone Star State.
In October 2024, the Gateway Pundit reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for the Department of Justice to investigate the Democrat fundraising powerhouse for “circumstances surrounding highly suspicious campaign contributions made through political committee online contribution platforms.”
The state’s own investigation confirmed evidence showing that donations were being made in people’s names without their knowledge or consent. This was in line with discoveries made by Peter Bernegger and reported by James O’Keefe regarding smurfing activities involving ActBlue.
Today, AG Paxton announced on X that he has filed a lawsuit against ActBlue “for deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.”…
On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising platform, for “deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.” This was following an internal investigation that “prove[d] that ActBlue continues to process gift card donations” without proving identification of the donor.
The same day, the House Judiciary Committee deposed five employees after subpoenas were issued to two employees in June 2025 by Reps. Jim Jordan, Bryan Steil, and James Comer. The recent depositions included “top staff responsible for fraud prevention” and sought to “learn more about the platform’s acceptance of illegal donations – and the subsequent cover-up,” according to a post on X by the House Judiciary GOP….

The U.S. Justice Department said Friday it is expanding federal execution procedures to include firing squads as part of a broader effort to strengthen and accelerate use of the federal death penalty. The department said it acted to restore its duty to carry out lawful capital sentences once condemned inmates have exhausted appeals.
The department said it directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to broaden execution protocols to allow additional methods, including the firing squad, and to readopt the lethal injection protocol used during President Donald Trump’s first administration.
It also said internal processes would be streamlined to expedite capital cases.
Reuters reported the administration also intends to add electrocution and gas asphyxiation as alternative federal execution methods.

If nothing follows KK below, Night Crew, you are on your own.
Do you sometimes feel forgotten, that the world is cold and hostile? Are you lonely or ignored by loved ones or friends? Does it sometimes feel like God has totally forgotten or forsaken you, left you without experiencing His touch on your life?
Welcome to the story of Joseph. Yes, Joseph was a real person per religious as well as secular historical text. He was a Hebrew and his story is found in the Book of Genesis beginning in Chapter 39. From privilege and being the apple of his deeply respected father’s eye as a child in what is now called Israel; to being sold into slavery by his own jealous brothers; to a prison of Pharaoh in the foreign land of Egypt after being wrongly and evilly accused of attempted rape by the wife of the Captain of Pharaoh’s guard, Potiphar; to being forgotten until the royal Cupbearer told Pharaoh that Joseph could probably interpret his troubling dreams; to the highest position overseeing all of Egypt while reporting directly to Pharaoh due to the Godly wisdom he provided the nation while being held captive. He goes on to forgive his brothers who forsook him and sold him into slavery after making them sweat spear tips for a time. His wisdom and actions not only saved his family from starvation, his faith and actions save everybody in the nation of Egypt as well as all people who came there to trade or stay to avoid the great famines in that region of the world.
Many of you will already know that story. To others it is nothing but that, a story, and they could care less whether it was true or not. However, the reality is that it aligns with known living conditions of the period in Egypt from other archaeological and scientific evidence as well as texts and narratives in that nation’s history. The lesson taken from it is extremely valuable to our lives today no matter whether we believe in God or not.
OK, Trade, why are you bringing this up now? I am doing so because the story about Joseph is one that clearly illustrates what living under God’s Providence in America is also about as the Declaration of Independence states. It seems appropriate to apply its principles today just as it was during the times of its author, Thomas Jefferson. My hope is some will see the important benefits of living under God’s Providence that includes remaining faithful no matter what we face. Doing so should settle their MAGA spirits.
In my opinion we MAGA types need to slow our roll sometimes. Getting all out of sorts, huffy, fearful and impatient will not make justice happen faster. Being diligent and doing our parts as needed and without complaint will get it done in time. We need to remember who is calling the shots in this clean up and it is not us. Whether you personally believe in God or not, many of the people doing the major work successfully do. They have been placed in positions to do so by God and his assigned American redeemer, which is currently Donald J. Trump, along with the leaders of his cabinet, law enforcement and military forces. As long as they do things by the book (Constitution/laws) and THE Book (Holy Bible) it will all turn out as God wills it. Even unbelievers will benefit from the efforts of those who do believe and are faithful.
The Way It Works
Submit to God’s will as Joseph did. Despite being forgotten, lonely, falsely accused, abused, and in prison – he did good works for his captors and never failed to be in communion with God as well as to do His will first and foremost. In the end of the story he forgave his treacherous brothers and saved them from disaster and death. The family was restored and the people of Israel continued to develop.
That’s the secret sauce. It is not enough to acknowledge the God of Joseph exists or that He is powerful. You have to personally place Him first and ONLY in your submission. There can be no other “gods” before Him.
Your freedom comes from your submission to I AM.
You remain faithful and true. You say and do what is right the best ways you can daily no matter the circumstances. You seek God’s face, guidance, forgiveness… and… WAIT. Good things come to people who wait on the Lord to move mountains for them. When it happens, not if it happens, you realize you are never alone. You realize you matter and are loved by the Creator. From that understanding comes freedom and the formerly paralyzing fear dies.
From Psalm 27:14,
Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.
It feels good to be faithful to God because He is faithful to us without fail. Again, this world is not our home, we are just wayfaring strangers. No matter how far and long we have distanced ourselves from God and other people, there is time to turn it around as long as we are above ground and breathing. If we are honest with ourselves, we all have a prodigal son bone in our bodies that tempts us to stray from these universal truths that are built into our existence of which Jesus addressed in Luke 15. All we need to do is throw off our pride and humbly return to the Father just as Brandon sings below. This song has a personal connection for him per his past comments. It also represents my life all too well – a prodigal son saved from ruination and death by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
THIS is how it works in America under God’s Providence. Return to the Father, I AM, and be healed. Find peace as people and as a nation. Those that foment hateful rhetoric and violence are serving the wrong master. Pray for their change of heart and repentance. May God’s will be done.
Over the next couple of months I will begin tying the loose strings of this series together as we approach our nation’s founding. You will read the words Providential Restoration often.

Please take a few minutes. Enjoy Hung Cao’s Incredible Journey. Vietnam – Africa – America.
They just thought Pete Hegseth was over the top, now we have a man in charge of the Navy who blew shit up for 30+ years and was really good at it.
They just thought Pete Hegseth was over the top, now we have a man in charge of the Navy who blew shit up for 30+ years and was really good at it. A great time to be alive!
Hung Cao, the former refugee who is Trump’s new acting navy secretary
Vietnam-born Cao stood twice for federal office in Virginia and has called for upgrading of fleet to face new threats
The acting navy secretary, Hung Cao, who steps into the role after the sudden departure of John Phelan, is a veteran naval officer and former refugee who earned a position with the Trump administration with campaigns for political office in Virginia marked by religious intolerance.
When Cao was first appointed, the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, set him to modernizing base infrastructure and quality-of-life issues for sailors and marines, and to raise recruiting standards. Cao has also been a point person in the administration on permitting vaccine refusal and eliminating “DEI” policies in the military.
He has been sharply outspoken about the military’s recruiting practices, saying in a debate with Tim Kaine when he ran against him for Senate in 2024 that the military should be recruiting “alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them, and ask for seconds”.
At his confirmation hearing, Cao described an aircraft carrier as “99,000 tons of American diplomacy” but noted that the availability of ships hovered at about 60%, which he described as “horrid” readiness.
Asked about his views on how to either use the existing fleet or to transition to a new paradigm for naval warfare, Cao said the military was living each day like it was 10 September 2001, and that the country must accelerate shipbuilding while improving technology so that it can defeat hypersonic missiles and other threats.
“We need to rethink naval warfare,” Cao said last June. “We need to be ready for what happens tomorrow.”
Cao ran twice for federal office as a Republican candidate in Virginia, falling to US representative Jennifer Wexton in a House race in Virginia’s northern suburbs in 2022, then to Senator Tim Kaine in 2024.
Cao’s comments in an interview about Monterey being taken over by “witches” and a joke about being “African American” because he lived in Africa as a child became a campaign issue. Cao expressed support for a national abortion ban as a candidate.
Cao, 55, fled Vietnam with his family when he was four. He lived in Niger as a child while his father worked for USAID. Cao enlisted in the navy in 1989 before graduating from the US Naval Academy and earning a commission as a special operations officer.
He served on active duty as a diver and explosive ordnance technician with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, notably leading the team that recovered the body of John F Kennedy Jr off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.
Cao was section head for the budget programming division in the office of the chief of naval operations before retiring as a captain in 2021. He has a master’s degree in applied physics from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and completed fellowships at MIT and Harvard.
“I came to this country with nothing, as a refugee,” Cao said in response to a question during his confirmation hearing as undersecretary of the navy. “We grew up in Africa, actually. In 1979, when the shah of Iran was overthrown, the marines brought us into the embassy and stood watch over us in case they had to do an evacuation … I wanted to be like those heroes, so I have dedicated my entire life to serving the military.” (Bold mine.)
Cao’s son graduates this year from the US Naval Academy.
An interesting review of the Australian Oil Shortages over many decades
The short form is that W.W.II was the worst due to dependence on Asian sources (under British Empire control) and then being cut off by war. Gee, Asian sources cut off in war… rather like now when Australia depends on imported fuel from Asian refineries that in turn depend on Arabian Gulf oil…
During the 1970s Arab Oil Embargo Australia had rationing, but due to domestic “work actions” (strikes) by oil workers. The country was nearly self sufficient in oil and oil products then.
Fast forward to now: All the “lessons learned” have been discarded, all but 2 refineries closed in favor of Asian ones (and one of those two just had a major fire…), and the crude oil supply is disrupted by a war.
“Those who do not remember their history are doomed to repeat it.”
Stockpile Food To Prepare For Worst Food Crisis | China Cuts Fertiliser, Farmers Abandon Paddocks

Australia’s Fuel Supply Is More Fragile Than Anyone Realises (This Is How Rationing Starts)
9:58
In Conclusion
It didn’t have to be this way. Australia could have kept its oil refineries, continued to develop oil fields and production, and built a nitrogen fertilizer plant. They did not. They chose in stead to save a couple of pennies on the $A for Urea and other nitrogen fertilizers, and similarly for oil products.

We are at the start of a Cascade Failure. Shortly it will be impossible to prevent the cascade.

SLOW GUY here. I continue, to not see food or daily essentials shortages in the USA. Come 1 May, if Strait of Hormuz remains closed, Slow guy will likely bump up stocks. Previously planned, picking up a pig, from the processor next week. Plenty of beef in the freezer. It’s the stuff on supermarket middle aisles, I’ll bulk on again. Stuff has long shelf life. So no big deal there. No spoilage. It’ll get used, Nothing tossed.

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Various groups are suggesting “the Storm is upon us.” I certainly think I see it approaching. I am going to try and put things into some semblance of order. It least that was my original intent until I went looking for a piece of information and got yanked sideway. Oh well.
It has been my thesis that the Brits never really conceded defeat after the US Revolution and have been trying to get control of the USA ever since. I think for all intents they actually got some control in 1913 and have been working slowly, Fabian Society style, to consolidate their grip and impose a world government. The UK has been the home of the Globalists since William and Mary brought the Dutch banking system to England and the City of London was set up.
8:00 Brady: But the cool thing is William… [He] brings all these great ideas with him. Things like a stock exchange. A central Bank. In fact the Bank of England would be founded 6 years later. And we know where that lead us to.
Col Towner: So he is just transferring the Dutch Empire to the English Empire.
Brady: Yeah, We talked about how the Dutch securitized their entire industry. They stopped producing goods and services, and they just basically speculated all over the world. It is exactly what Wall Street became. They [the Dutch] have already been investing in the British pounds because it pays bigger interest… So they are subsidizing their own enemies.
THAT IS WHY THE DUTCH FELL. THEY HAD STRETCHED TOO THIN AND THEY WERE FINANCIALLY SPECULATING ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Col Towner: Which is what you see happening today.
Brady: Well that is why we are telling the story so we do not repeat it too.
Iran wasn’t the target. The British imperial system was. And on April 16th, Scott Bessent walked into a room with the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and said it out loud. Here’s the Treasury readout… During their discussion, Secretary Besson underscored the US Treasury’s commitment to Economic Fury, leveraging all tools and authorities against those who continue to support Iran’s terrorist activities. He’s underscoring the mission of Economic Fury to Britain’s top financial officer. In essence warning of a new reality… The Trump administration has the empire’s number and is systematically dismantling its power. Which is why the Hudson Institute is now pinning its hopes on a royal visit. They want King Charles to save ‘the special relationship’… Here’s what they’re all missing. Iran wasn’t the target. The British imperial system was and is the target.
The strait was never just Iran’s weapon.
It was London’s leverage. And Trump’s target was never the strait itself. It was the system that monetized it. That system is what is being dismantled. And that holds regardless of what happens in the next 48 hours. In fact, if you look at Trump’s post about no longer being used as a weapon against the world, you can read it in two ways. The Strait won’t be used as a weapon by Iran and Iran won’t be used as a weapon by the British. And because the president understood that, he is bringing an end to the 47 year-old extortion racket.
06:31
The president himself named it back on April 11th in a truth social in all caps, WORLD EXTORTION. That’s not rhetoric. That’s a precise description of how the City of London has run the global financial system for over a century and Bessent is now systematically dismantling it. Here’s how the architecture works.
Think about what London actually prices:
* The global gold fix and other metals through the London Metal Exchange and the IC, the Intercontinental Exchange.
* The price of oil through the Brent crude benchmark since 1988.
* Shipping rates on every barrel of oil that moved through the strait determined by Lloyd’s war risk premiums.
And every regional crisis sent traders to London and allowed them to manipulate prices.
Managed conflict wasn’t just a geopolitical tool. It was a revenue stream. Trump called it world extortion. He’s right….
07:41
But before that, even bigger moves were going on that most people didn’t notice. Vivify Mariposa pulls the curtain back in an important post entitled The System That Owns You, How It Was Built, and Why It’s Breaking. She describes how Trump’s tariff offensive has caused a dramatic shift in the economic balance of power. Because of Trump’s moves, physical gold has been moving from London vaults to New York. Copper pricing is migrating from the London Metal Exchange to American markets and London’s own exchange has publicly conceded that the shift is permanent. Now, Mariposa concludes by saying the pricing authority is moving gold to American vaults, copper to comics, LNG contracts referencing American benchmarks. London is not being replaced by Qatar. London is being bypassed by New York…

At this point I went looking for the info (on the Chinese) that I wanted to document. I remembered it was in Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of Three Hundred — CIA library by Dr John Coleman who is still alive BTW. The CIA document is 169 pages so I am going to quote it as well as asking readers to read PAGE 103 – 107 where Dr Coleman quotes H. G. Wells, co-founder of the British Fabian Society.
What I find interesting is the fact Colonel Towner’s Gladio Series information dovetails with this information about the CIA, NATO,‘The Criminal Syndicate’ and drugs.
I am going to start with Dr Coleman’s H. G. Wells quotes and then go back and look at the Iran & China information.
[BEGIN QUOTE]
PAGE 103
What then are we looking at? A loosely-knit gathering of people with weird ideas?
Certainly not. In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled “new” society only it isn’t new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. [or formal religion of the devil, the existence of which, in the middle ages, is registered by the known facts of the Black Sabbath – GC] It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY– PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.” [written in 1928 — GC]
…There will be no middle class, only rulers and servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military…
Only one religion will be allowed and that will be in the form of a One World Government Church, which has been in existence since 1920 as we shall see. Satanism, Luciferianism and Witchcraft shall he recognized as legitimate One World Government curricula with no private or church schools. All Christian churches have already been subverted and Christianity will be a thing of the past in the One World Government…
Each person shall be fully indoctrinated that he or she is a creature of the One World Government with an identification number clearly marked on their person so as to be readily accessible, which identifying number shall be in the master file of the NATO computer in Brussels, Belgium, subject to instant retrieval by any agency of the One World Government at any time. The master Files of the CIA, FBI, state and local police agencies, IRS, FEMA, Social Security shall be vastly expanded and form the basis of personal records of all individuals in the United States.
Marriage shall be outlawed and there shall be no family life as we know it. Children will be removed from their parents at an early-age and brought up by wards as state property…
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 and 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 want to insert here, that I think the original plan was Orientals would be the high functioning intelligent workers and the black/brown would be the lower intelligent grunt workers, that is if they are not replaced by robots. The only whites will be the rulers, thus color coding people so they are easily IDed by sight. –GC]
The United States will be flooded by peoples of alien cultures who will eventually overwhelm White America, people with no concept of what the United States Constitution stands for and who will, in consequence, do nothing to defend it, and in whose minds the concept of liberty and justice is so weak as to matter little. FOOD and shelter shall be the main concern.
Rival factions and groups such as Arabs and Jews and African tribes shall have differences magnified and allowed to wage wars of extermination against each other under the eyes of NATO and U.N. observers. The same tactics will be used in Central and South America. These wars of attrition shall take place BEFORE the take-over by the One World Government…
It is obvious from the foregoing that much work remains to be done before the dawning of the New World Order can occur. The Committee of 300 has long ago perfected plans to destabilize civilization as we know it, some of which plans were made known by Zbignew Brzezinski in his classic work “THE TECHNOTRONIC ERA” and the works of Aurellio Peccei who founded the Club of Rome, especially in his book, “THE CHASM AHEAD.” [pg 107]
[END QUOTE]
I am going to stop here and take a quick look at a couple of Russian articles on Brzezinski.
…Brzezinski in an article published in Foreign Affaire (1970), explains his vision of the “New World Order” stating that “it is necessary a new and bolder vision (the creation of a community of developed countries can deal effectively with the broad problems of humanity”, outlines a theory fleshed out in his book “BetweenTwo Ages: America’s role in the era technetronic” 1971), explaining that the era has come to rebalance world power, power that must be passed on to a new global political order based on a trilateral economic linkage between Japan, Europe and the United States.
In the book “Between Two Ages,” (1971), he also calls for control of population by an elite through “cyber manipulation”, by stating: “The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and dominated society by an elite without the restrictions of traditional values, so it will soon be possible to ensure the monitoring almost continuous over every citizen and maintain complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen, files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities, “what would herald the subsequent implementation of the PRISM program. Also, in a recent speech at a meeting of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the former Carter adviser warned that “U.S. domination was no longer possible due to an acceleration of social change driven by instant communication that caused the awakening of a universal political consciousness of the masses (Global Political Awakening) and which is proving detrimental to foreign domination as prevailed in the era of colonialism and imperialism”, so after the failed attempt to control the cloud (PRISM Program), in the coming years will see the end of the democratization of information, with the impossibility of direct access to the network using the steps of restrictive policies implemented by countries like China, Russia or Iran.
According to the Financial Times, Brzezinski in a hearing before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate in 2007, said:
“One possible scenario for a military confrontation with Iran means a terrorist act in American soil of which would Iran be responsible. This could culminate in a U.S. military action “defense” against Iran in which would be included Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan,”
What follows is the possibility of a new attack in the U.S. that would be falsely attributed to Iran to bring its invasion and a subsequent totalitarian derived USA, similar to that recorded with George W. Bush after 11- S, 2001. So, a month after the attack of 11-S, George W. Bush secretly decided to cancel a major constitutional protection in this country (habeas corpus) by-law known as the USA Patriot Act under the justification of its “fight against” terrorism “according to official documents revealed in late 2005 in a series of reports in the New York Times…
Especially given the date is just before Trump’s first election: 28.10.2016
Recently, the US has begun to lose its strategic positions in the Middle East. When some say that the US Empire is collapsing, this no longer sounds like an exaggeration. It definitely looks like this is what is going to happen in front of our very eyes. Failed regime-change attempts in Syria revealed to the whole world the true nature of the so called Arab Spring, and only those who still want to remain stooped in illusions take the Western MSM as a source of reliable information. The Arab Spring served a much bigger purpose of maintaining and expanding US world domination by imposing the Western way of life and, in fact, Western ideology on the Arab World. Western values and way of life have been exposed as the devil in disguise when the US imposes soft power on smaller countries.
Western values are far from being good. They are essentially nothing but Milton Friedman’s utopian neoliberal economic ideas (Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is one of the best written documentations of this topic). Free-market or liberal, capitalism is a doctrine that demands that everything must be sacrificed on the unholy altar of commerce, including traditional and religious values. This is why nation-states and religious values are seen as a threat in Western corridors of power – a threat that must be destroyed by supranational and secular powers. The US has been the front man and a driving force in this “progress.” So, if US will lose its positions, will this progress stop? Or,if Trump will be elected, can he change this course and stop its progress? Will the world find a new way of life? Together? Or will the world go back to nation-states and religious values? I have no answers to these questions, but what is sure is that there must be a new value system or ideology to fill this vacuum if the Western system is going to collapse. Ideally, this would be a loose context for different religions and political ideologies to integrate – a spiritual multipolarity that combines nations rather than dividing them…
Back to Dr Coleman’s book.
CHINA and IRAN [QUOTE]
…it is hardly likely that the U.S. would make any real effort to stop the production of opium in the Golden Triangle which is under the control of the Chinese military, a serious war would erupt if any country tried to interdict the trade. A serious attack on the opium trade would bring Chinese military intervention.
The British know this; they have no quarrel with China, except for an occasional squabble over who gets the larger share of the pie. Britain has been involved in the China opium trade for over two centuries. No one is going to be so foolish as to rock the boat when millions upon millions of dollars flow into the bank accounts of the British oligarchists and more gold is traded on the Hong Kong gold market than the combined total traded in London and New York… Every British monarch since 1729 has benefited immensely from the drug trade and this holds good for the present occupant of the throne…
In later years the Chinese appealed to Britain for help with their immense problem and received it. Thereafter respective Chinese governments realized the value in cooperating instead of fighting with Britain–and this held good during the bloody rule of Mao Tse Tung–so that today, as I have already mentioned, any quarrels that come about are only over the share of the opium trade each is entitled to.
To advance to more modern history, the Chinese-British partnership was solidified by the Hong Kong agreement which established an equal partnership in the opium trade…
Rowntree’s book, “The Imperial Drug Trade”[1903] gives a fascinating account of how Prime Minister Gladstone and his fellow plutocrats lied, cheated, twisted and turned to keep the astonishing truth of the involvement of the British monarchy in the opium trade from being exposed…
The Eastern Liberal Establishment families of the United States were just as deeply involved in the China opium trade as were the British, indeed they still are. Witness recent history when [President] James Earl Carter toppled the Shah of Iran. Why was the Shah deposed and then murdered by the United States government? fn a word, because of DRUGS. The Shah had clamped down and virtually put an end to the immensely lucrative opium trade being conducted out of Iran by the British. At the time that the Shah took over in Iran, there were already one million opium/heroin addicts.
This the British would not tolerate, so they sent the United States to do their dirty work for them in terms of the “special relationship” between the two countries. When Khomeini took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, arms sales by the United States, which had begun with the Shah, were not discontinued. Why not? Had the United States done so, Khomeini would have canceled the British monopoly of the opium trade in his country. To prove the point, after 1984, Khomeini’s liberal attitude toward opium had increased the number of addicts to 2 million, according to United Nations and World Health Organization statistics. [That certainly puts a different light on the Khomeini – Carter communications. GC]
Both President Carter and his successor, Ronald Reagan, willingly and with full knowledge of what was at stake, went on supplying arms to Iran even while American hostages languished in captivity. In 1980 I wrote a monograph under the title, “What Really Happened in Iran,” which set out the facts. The arms trade with Iran was sealed at a meeting between Cyrus Vance, a servant of the Committee of 300, and Dr. Hashemi, which resulted in the U.S. Air Force beginning an immediate airlift of arms to Iran, carried on even at the height of the hostage crisis the arms came from U.S. Army stockpiles in Germany ….
The demise of the Shah of Iran was run to a plan devised by Bernard Levin and Richard Falk, and supervised by Robert Anderson’s Aspen Institute. Levin was the author of a work entitled “Time Perspective and Morale” which is a Club of Rome publication concerning how to break down the morale of nations and individual leaders. Here is an extract of the document:
“One of the main techniques for breaking morale through a strategy of terror consists in exactly this tactic: keep the person hazy as to where he stands and just what he may expect. In addition, if frequent vacillations between severe disciplinary measures and promise of good treatment together with the spreading of contradictory news make the structure of the situation unclear, then the individual may cease to know whether a particular plan would lead toward or away from his goal. Under these conditions, even those individuals who have definite goals and are ready to take risks are paralyzed by the severe inner conflict in regard to what to do.”
This Club of Rome blueprint applies to COUNTRIES as well as to individuals, particularly the government leaders of those countries. We in the U.S. need not think that “Oh well, this is America, and those kinds of things just do not happen here.” Let me assure you that they ARE happening in the U.S., and perhaps more so than in any other country. Remember that Khomeini was groomed for years by British intelligence, especially during his time in Paris, before he suddenly appeared as the savior of Iran. Boris Yeltsin is from the same M16-SIS stable...
The route taken by the raw opium carriers of the Golden Crescent goes through Iran, Turkey and Lebanon. When the Shah of Iran was in control of the country, he refused to allow the heroin trade to continue and it was forcibly discontinued-up until the time that he was “dealt with” by the Committee of 300. Raw opium from Turkey and Lebanon finds it way to Corsica, from where it is shipped to Monte Carlo with the connivance of the Grimaldi family. Pakistani laboratories, under the guise of “military defense laboratories” are doing a bigger share of refining than they were two years ago, but the best refining is still done along the French Mediterranean coastline and in Turkey. Here again, banks play a vital role in financing these operations.
Let us stop here for a moment. Are we to believe that with all the modern and vastly improved surveillance techniques, including satellite reconnaissance, available to law enforcement agencies in these countries, that this vile trade cannot be pin-pointed and stopped? How is it that law enforcement agencies cannot go in and destroy these laboratories once they are discovered? If this IS the case, and we still cannot interdict the heroin trade, then our anti-narcotics services ought to be known as “The Geriatrics” and not drug enforcement agencies.
Even a child could tell our alleged “drug watchers” what to do. Simply keep a check on all factories making acetic anhydride, THE most essential chemical component needed by laboratories to refine heroin from raw opium. THEN FOLLOW THE TRAIL!…
For some strange reason the Cali cartel, which is equal in size to the Medellin cartel, has been–at least up until now–largely ignored by the DEA. Cali differs from the Medellin cartel in that it is run by BUSINESSMEN, who eschew all forms of violence and never break agreements. Even more significant is that Cali does virtually no business in Florida. My source told me that the Cali cartel is run by shrewd businessmen unlike any seen in the cocaine business. He believes that they were “specially appointed,” but does not know by whom. “They never call attention to themselves,” he said. “They do not go around importing red Ferraris like Jorge Ochoa did, attracting immediate attention, because it is forbidden to import such cars into Colombia.”
Cali cartel markets are in Los Angeles, New York and Houston, which closely parallel the heroin markets. Cali has not shown any signs of moving into Florida. A former DEA operative who is a colleague of mine said recently, “These Cali people are sure smart. They are a different breed to the Ochoa brothers. They act like professional businessmen. They are now larger than the Medellin cartel and I think we are going to see a lot more cocaine get into the United States than ever before. The kidnapping of Manuel Noriega will facilitate an easier flow through Panama of cocaine and money, what with so many banks there. So much for President George Bush’s Operation Just Cause. All it did was make life a great deal easier for Nicolas Ardito Barletta who used to be run by the Ochoa brothers and who is fixing to front for the Cali cartel.”
Based on my experience with the heroin trade I believe that the Committee of 300 has stepped in and taken over full control of the South American cocaine trade. There is no other explanation For the rise of the Cali cartel which is coupled with the kidnapping of Noriega. Did Bush take his orders from London regarding Noriega? There is every indication that he was literally PUSHED into invading Panama and kidnapping Noriega, who had become a serious impediment to “trade” in Panama, especially in the banking business.
Several former intelligence agents have given me their opinions which coincide with my own. Like the Gulf War that followed in the wake of Panama, it was only after several calls from the British Ambassador in Washington that Bush finally plucked up enough courage to make his totally illegal move on General Noriega. That he was supported by the British press and the New York Times, a British intelligence run newspaper, speaks volumes…

WRITTEN BY MICHAEL HUNTSMAN
I keep hearing “Trump doesn’t have a plan”.
First off, it doesn’t seem like the greatest idea to tell everyone what your plan is. (Especially when so many from within want you destroyed.)
However, for those of you who are unable to see it. Let me remind you. One of Trump‘s biggest campaign promises was not only to make America energy Independent, but also to be the energy leader worldwide.
Take a look at the moves he’s already made. If you can’t see his plan, it’s because you refused to.
He told us from the start exactly what he would do when he said “America Will Lead the World in Energy”
He started almost immediately. On February 9, 2025, he began his energy dominance plan by changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He did this to circumvent policies designed to stop American oil drilling, refining, and shipping in the Gulf. (The crazy half of the country lost their mind and called it racism)
Then with no delay at all, he went after the Panama Canal and regained its passage rights. (Again, the lunatics lost their mind and claimed it was about stopping innocent refugees, and therefore, ‘Racist’.)
Next came Venezuela. In a matter of minutes he captured a dictator, freed millions of people, and secured the absolute largest oil reserves in the world. (Suddenly the crazies poured into the streets, waving Venezuelan flags and demanding the dictator be returned)
Greenland came and went before their tears over the Venezuelan dictator even hit the floor.
With Greenland, he secured not only northern shipping lanes but strategic defensive positioning and mineral rights to one of the largest deposits of rare earth minerals in the world. (Think batteries, electrical components, semiconductors, etc..)
After gaining control of North and South American shipping lanes, oil, and rare earth minerals. He sets his sites on the Middle East.
Which brings us to Iran. So far he has decimated their highest leaders and military, while protecting their infrastructure of oil distribution (And the people of Iran are ecstatic).
At this very moment the U.S. is blockading the Gulf of Oman.(Arguably, more strategic than the Strait of Hormuz itself.)
In the meantime (while waiting out Iran in the Gulf of Oman) He has secured the strait of Malacca, and guaranteed control of shipping rights to the Eastern Seaborg. (Who knows how the Looney Tunes will spin that one when they find out.)
If you haven’t figured it out yet, this was the plan all along. Just like he said, “America Will Lead the World in Energy”
Keep your eyes open, because it ain’t over yet. Next on his list will be to secure the shipping lanes around Cuba then the straits of Bosporus and Gallipoli. Completing his plan and making America the world‘s leader in energy. Just like he said he would.
If you still fail to see the plan? Forget I mentioned any of this. Wait for the newest outrage, or stick with your most recent “Orange man bad, he has no plan”.
Whether you march in the streets waving some other countries flag, or protest a King that doesn’t exist. His plan is being executed and is working beautifully.
America will be the Leader in World Energy.
The truth is: You, Me, and the rest of the free world will benefit greatly from his plan for generations to come.
God bless the President and God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
