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!!!

Sure makes you wonder what advanced info the SOBs had. Terrorist attacks maybe?

2026.03.10 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

A study of contrasts in politics.

From 🖕 ICE…

To ICE, ICE, baby!

What is all the fuss about? It does not matter if it was Noem or is Mullin leading DHS, the laws and rules remain the same. Should there be any surprises in anything Homeland Security and ICE are doing by enforcing long established laws approved by Congress and signed into law by the POTUS over decades? According to the leftists, criminals, propagandists and sheeple idgits these patriots enforcing the laws are fascists, Nazi Gestapo, KKK, and worse. That KKK description is a boomerang back on them, but they are too dumb to know it. The fake media joins in to create more chaos by telling outright lies and disinformation to clueless citizens who believe what they say. The uniparty claims it is all unconstitutional, just like their claims about the Iran war. But, is any of the protesting true?

We do not have to guess or take a media or any politician’s word for immigration laws or policies. Every American citizen as well as every person in the world with a computer and internet access can discover for themselves. How? The Federal Register is one primary source that helps as does the Homeland Security and ICE websites. Below is the FR relating to ICE related immigration notices and regulations.

https://www.ice.gov/federal-register-notices-and-regulations

So let’s go with an easy, recent notice issued on 9/8/25. How many of you were aware that for every illegal caught or ordered to be removed in absentia that the subject invader is ordered to pay $5 K to the federal government? Some will say, so what, they will not or cannot pay it. Well, that is not exactly correct. It means the feds can go after all assets, garnishee any pay, connect dots back to employers and known associates, and so on in pursuit of this fee. If convicted of a crime or ruled to be deported for illegal entry the subject also forfeits all of their remaining assets. The pursuit of those assets by authorities reveals more illegals as well as those that harbor, supply and employ them.

You did not have to hear or read that from another source, you could read it for yourself and then think it through. But there is more that is interconnected and will also stand the test of legal challenges.

Here is another one from 8/28/25 that was a proposed rule.

Unlike most nonimmigrant classifications, which are admitted for a fixed time period, aliens in the F (academic student), J (exchange visitor), and most I (representatives of foreign information media) classifications, with limited exceptions, are currently admitted into the United States for the period of time that they are complying with the terms and conditions of their nonimmigrant classification (“duration of status”). The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations by changing the admission period in the F, J, and I classifications from duration of status to an admission for a fixed time period.

If incorporated and you think this one through, it eliminates the perpetual foreign invader who operates under the guise of student/exchange visitor/foreign media/etc. authorization. There is a fixed leave date. To stay they have to reapply and be vetted all over again. This time, not by Demoncraps as long as the patriots remain in power.

No more spies, operatives and such being here for decades as under the previous rules. For a recent example, like a supposed former student from Portugal who remained embedded in America for over two decades. He returned some 25 years later to Brown University where he had spent less than a year in school, to murder two and wound nine students of a more conservative persuasion in a study class. He then proceeded to execute a former Portugal classmate who was a renowned MIT physicist involved in advanced fusion research and development in a different location. The latter hit was probably the real assignment of the assassin, of course.

Whether the assassin was MK’d or programmed in some other way, the weirdness and random nature of his actions over years strongly increases the odds that it was a hit job on the MIT professor acquaintance and the Brown situation was a false flag to deflect from the intended mission. You know, like the Las Vegas massacre. There was little doubt of how it all would end, because this lone wolf was destined to shoot himself in the head in a warehouse in another state. A few links to update it all are below.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/06/brown-university-shooter-video-transcripts

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/brilliant-confrontational-and-resentful-picture-emerges-of-brown-university-shooter/ar-AA1UJ7xf

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brown-university-shooting-video-footage-released

https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2026/02/paxson-details-university-response-to-dec-13-in-first-sit-down-interview-since-the-shooting

Done. All neat and tidy. Brown will now install those restrictive entry keypads and security cameras along with changing a couple of policies to correct those oversights. Brown U with their billions in endowed funds, yeah, that Brown.

As a side note, it is simply amazing (not) that story just sort of disappeared from media interest. Next up will be the crazy lone wolf explanation with pure speculation as to motives from the law enforcement authorities. Move along, nothing to see here. Oh yeah, what’s up with that Brown University police chief (Chatman) they placed on administrative leave after the incident? You know, the same one who had been previously fired from the top law enforcement post at the University of Utah for not having proper credentials for the role as well as committing some acts that could be classified as criminal. Still suspended as of the posting of this thread you say ? Watch what happens with him as well.

We also know we will never be told the truth in its entirety. Ever. It is The American Way of uniparty led law enforcement and government.

🤔

With the DHS rule change discussed above, that assassin would have been exited by patriots from America many years before the horrendous events as will future lone wolves using that immigration cheat code. Nearly always there is a simple answer to a manufactured complex issue or problem. Remember, criminals and unipartyists always use obfuscation in their methodology because they know a large number of less in formed and gullible Americans will believe their BS.

In fact we could rename Congress the Obfuscation Machine used for the fog of war.

Next, consider that all of this nastiness has been going on openly despite most of We the People being unaware. If we have access to the information through the Register as well as FOIA you can bet our enemies do as well. They know the previously soft underbelly of our government and law enforcement efforts. Which is why they are so pizzed at #47, our collective national hide is growing tougher. Think about how all of the elected officials over the years have known the problems all along and did nothing. Nothing. They did not care or wanted these foreigners to be able to be here with no limitations or else they would have sounded the alarms and taken steps to save America before PDT came along.

😡

That leads to the next question.

Why? Do they hate our country that much?

Yes, many do. Others are too narcissistic to care one way or the other as long as they get theirs.

Which is why the following was seismic in the patriots fight to reclaim our rights.

5th Circuit Court Of Appeals

A true judicial bombshell landed, not the grandstanding media type. It obliterated its target – leftist attorneys, judges and politicians who try to circumvent immigration laws. If challenged on the SCOTUS level I predict it will be upheld, if they agree to hear it at all. The legal basis for the decision is solid and reflects the original intent. Especially after the SCOTUS just ruled 9-0 on another case that immigration judges are the path for all asylum claims.

After reading the order I concur with the follow message, which could be addressed to illegal or wannabe immigrants as well as patriots:

This decision is massively important – one of the most important of the year. It means that if you are an illegal alien who never presented themselves at a port of entry, and ICE finds you, you can and must be detained without bail.

The knock on effects from this will be enormous. Prior to this – if you were caught as an illegal alien and put in removal proceedings, you were entitled to bail while your lawyers string things along. You could stay out of jail for months – even years – and keep doing what you were doing in our country. No more.

Now – if you crossed illegally and ICE finds you, you’re done. You’re not walking American streets freely again unless you prevail in your removal proceeding (which is supremely unlikely). You won’t be able to go to your apartment and grab your things. You are simply done. You can either accept deportation or sit in immigration detention while your lawyer wastes their time on futile filings, and then get deported when you lose.

This will lead to a lot more illegal aliens simply giving up on their frivolous court fights and accepting deportation, which will help relieve the court backlogs. This will also lead to many more illegal aliens self-deporting. Would you rather pack up your things, settle your affairs, and get a free flight and $2500? Or would you rather try and hide from ICE, knowing that the moment they find you, you will never breathe free air in America again?

It’s a much easier choice.

Congratulations to Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and everyone at DOJ responsible for this victory. It’s a milestone win.

Enjoy what happens next, fellow patriots. In fact, celebrate it! You can also do what I do, check the following website out periodically. Have some fun watching and ridiculing all of the showboating speeches and shouting from those not wanting all those new, ICE detention facilities in their city or state. You know the 92 K of beds that will be used to cycle the criminals out of our great nation to never return.

https://www.dhs.gov/wow

As a PSA to foreigners here illegally; if you got suckered by Soros’ and Gates’ criminal operatives and Demoncrap politicians, you have the opportunity to correct your mistake with money in your pocket. Leave on your own. You will have the opportunity to return after vetting if you have a clean record. If our patriots catch you before that happens, that option ends.

Go – now.

Conclusion

We will be bringing more of the work forward on our more local level relating to ICE next week.

For now, know this is eternal: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NASB)

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven—

A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

We are in such a time of which this scripture speaks and readers know which statements apply. Iran, ICE, treason, and so on are all around us. However, God knows and patriots are doing what they are commanded to do to counter it.

Just do not forget to consider the five verses that follow the above scripture reading.

What benefit is there for the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the task which God has given the sons of mankind with which to occupy themselves.11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; 13 moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God.

Remember – people aways self identify with which camp they belong. You will know them by their works.

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.

Dear KMAG: 20260309 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

ylem

noun

  • in alchemy, substance from which the elements developed
  • form of matter hypothesized by proponents of the Big Bang theory to have existed before the formation of the chemical elements
  • in the Big Bang theory, the hot and dense plasma of which the cosmos consisted at the time of recombination in an early stage of its expansion and cooling, when the first atoms formed and photons decoupled, the source of the cosmic background radiation
  • (cosmology) the original matter that (according to the big bang theory) existed before the formation of the chemical elements

Used in a sentence or two

Ylem is a term that originates from the ancient Greek word “hulē,” which translates to “matter” or “stuff.” In the context of cosmology, ylem refers to the primordial substance or state of matter that existed before the formation of the atomic elements we recognize today.

THE STUFF

So what WAS the “ylem” of cosmology? THAT depends on the TIME you’re asking about! Here is all of it in under 20 minutes.

Dark matter. Apparently, if it exists, useful stuff.

Just sayin’!

The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.

It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.

This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

My bad. Thursday, while recollecting, run ins with snakes, over the years.

I erroneously posted ~20′ snake, a couple doors down and behind our housing unit, Easy Street, Binictican, Subic Bay, Philippines.

Went searching for a picture.

Likely it was this snake.

  • This is a 17-foot long, 175-pound reticulated python. Found in the back yard of Binictican Navy Housing at Naval Station Subic Bay in 1986. This snake was cooked and served at JEST (Jungle Environment Survival Training School) to the staff and family members at a division picnic. When it was cut open, there was a wild pig inside, its last meal.

The snake was caught 1981/82. Above “1986” was either another snake caught at essentially the same location. Most unlikely. More likely, 1986 the year the snake was BBQ’d, at a Division gaggle of sorts. I do know the snake was fed baby monkey’s periodically. But, Only when he was hungry.

DW face lit up when I showed her the above picture. She recollected when it was caught a few doors down, from our housing unit. Talk of the neighborhood that day.

Enough reminiscing, correcting the record AND mostly wanted to share, what I figure is a really cool snake story.

Back to reality.

Liking this guys Patriotism. He’s a keeper.

BREAKING: President Trump EVISCERATES Europe for allowing Islamic Sharia courts — they’re going to DESTROY their western culture if it doesn’t stop “In the UK you have a TERRIBLE mayor of London, and Sharia courts! You DON’T want Sharia courts. Sharia courts adjudicating law!” “It’s simple. Immigration and energy. Bring it back, otherwise you’re not gonna bring it back.” The UK must save themselves!

(Image AI. From American Thinker)

ONE guess where this post is going. 

Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Canada, increasingly, demonstrate no WILL to preserve their countries, heritage, themselves, along with give up, whatever Freedom’s they once enjoyed. 

These days they, Kow Tow to Chinee. They bow, while taking a knee to muzzies.

On the positive side, Canada breaking apart would be outstanding. 

  • America Wins. 
  • Canadian provinces breaking away from Ottawa and Quebec, WIN.
  • If above happens, likely Alberta, perhaps more provinces, may align with America.  More winning in my mind.

Below snatched from American Thinker Stinker (ht Gail)

Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?

The signs were obvious two decades ago, and the insightful Mark Steyn—the conservative Canadian author—addressed them then. In numerous books, written in his sharp, convincing style, he warned that America would soon become isolated in its fight against Islamist jihad. Today, that loneliness appears to be fully realized.

His 2006 book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, convincingly argued that much of the Western world would not survive the 21st century. Europe, with its declining birthrate, would be the first to go—thanks to white people being “too self-absorbed to breed,” while Muslims worked to change the demographics in their favor.

It also predicted that Europe would be defeated by its obsession with multiculturalism—essentially a surrender to Islam—and its welfare-driven laziness. Only America, dedicated to individual effort, morals, and economic growth, would be able to resist the onslaught of civilizational jihad.

Just five years later, in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Steyn lamented that America was also in serious danger of joining the rest of the Western world in an unavoidable decline. He observed that the growth of government, rising debt, the focus on diversity over excellence, and cultural shifts—away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts—were hollowing out America.

Fifteen years later, not only is the mood in Europe and the U.S. against America, but our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, too, are hesitant to join us in confronting a three-pronged threat: Islamists, the unchecked Trojan horse tactics of communist China, and the drug and smuggling cartels at our borders. Canada has fallen under the influence of both Islam and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while powerful criminal cartels aligned with China have a firm grip on Mexico.

Image created using AI.

Europe, as Steyn observed, has become unrecognizable. The influence of so-called liberalism, far from transforming all nations into Sweden and eradicating war, has altered the very character and demographics of the continent. Ask a Jew in Malmo, Steyn writes, if you can find one! The same story is unfolding in Britain.

Commenting in The New York Post, Melanie Phillips states that Britain’s response to the issue of Muslims being smuggled into the country and their involvement in terrorism, espionage, and arms smuggling has been “craven.” Muslims refuse to integrate into British society, and the government has gone out of its way to accommodate them, allowing them 85 sharia courts so far.

Instead of addressing this security crisis, Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s government suppresses criticism of Islam by raising the false idea of Islamophobia. Tommy Robinson, who the previous government jailed for criticizing Islam, mass Muslim immigration, and Muslim rape gangs, still faces danger and is labeled an extreme right-winger. Similarly, in a serious violation of free speech, political candidate Paul Weston was charged in 2014 with a racially aggravated crime for quoting an excerpt critical of Islam from Churchill’s The River War.

For decades, Muslim gangs have been grooming and assaulting underage girls, but Starmer has been hesitant to investigate and prosecute them. He also ignores widespread antisemitism among Muslims. In 2024, a Jewish man was prevented from crossing a street under threat of arrest for being openly Jewish and thereby “antagonizing” pro-Palestine marchers. Britain’s recognition of Palestine following the October 7 massacre by Hamas signals Starmer’s capitulation to Islam.

Starmer’s interactions with China symbolize Britain’s waning influence and capitulation to the CCP. During his trip to Beijing, the prime minister was not met with the usual protocols. CCP leader Xi Jinping gave Starmer a brief, informal meeting and spoke to him as if he were subordinate.

Starmer failed to press Xi on several key issues: human rights, especially the detention of activist Jimmy Lai; cyberattacks on British companies; covert Chinese interference in the UK government; and trade deficits. He approved China’s plan to build a massive embassy near critical fiber-optic cables and sensitive U.S. infrastructure, a move that could threaten intelligence partnerships with the U.S.

To our north, Canada has increased the risk by entering a new “strategic partnership” with China, shifting Canada’s economy away from its long-standing reliance on America. During his visit to Beijing, Prime Minister Mark Carney avoided discussing Jimmy Lai’s incarceration, the execution of seven Canadians in China on drug charges (which is ironic since China is a major exporter of fentanyl precursors to North America), and interference in Canadian elections.

Carney returned with agreements on cooperation against drug trafficking and cybercrime, along with a pledge to increase cultural exchanges. Given how China operates, security experts have no doubts about what ‘cooperation’ and ‘cultural exchanges’ will actually entail. Additionally, it is hard to understand how a liberal government has reconciled with an authoritarian regime.

At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Carney expressed excitement about recalibrating Canada’s relationship with China: he stated that Canada had aligned itself with the “new world order,” would pursue global governance, and move away from the U.S., its largest trading partner. He urged other countries to do the same.

According to a 2025 report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), Muslim Brotherhood organizations have infiltrated Canada’s civil, academic, political, and economic sectors. They promote radical Islamist ideology using federal funding.

The report provides strong evidence that Canada has become a hub for money laundering and a gateway for terrorists entering the U.S. But instead of designating these groups as terrorist organizations, Carney was a guest at a recent Eid celebration hosted by the Brotherhood-linked Muslim Association of Canada.

Unchecked immigration, wokeism, the romance with multiculturalism, and a fragile national identity have allowed not only the Brotherhood but also networks connected to China, Russia, Iran, and Qatar to entrench themselves in Canada. Collectively, they pose a serious security threat to the U.S.

recent seizure of carfentanil—originally developed to tranquilize elephants—revealed that the U.S. now faces a dangerous flow of synthetic drugs across its southern and northern borders. The drug was being smuggled into the country by a Montreal-based cartel.

China is the primary source of raw materials and equipment for drug production, including fentanyl. Therefore, there is reason to suspect a Chinese connection, similar to Mexico, where Chinese gangs have established themselves on the drug scene. These gangs, it goes without saying, cannot operate without the CCP’s approval.

The Bureau’s report on the carfentanil seizures quotes former DEA chief Derek Maltz: “We are getting crushed with carfentanil, xylazine, etizolam, isotonitazene—all those new psychoactive substances which are coming out of China. So, it’s just another phase of the attack.”

In 2023, there were over 72,000 drug-related deaths, mostly caused by illicit fentanyl brought into the U.S. from Mexico by sophisticated cartels, armed with RPGs and exploding drones, and collaborating with China. Chinese gangs have extensive networks in Mexico’s drug hubs, laundering money through cryptocurrencies and digital payment platforms.

Mexican governments have long collaborated with the cartels, which are viewed as sources of profit and power. However, President Donald Trump has pressured the current Mexican government to combat the cartels. The recent killing of Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes—‘El Mencho’—in a joint U.S.-Mexico operation highlights Trump’s dedication to securing the border and stopping trafficking.

If America is to stand alone in the asymmetric war launched by China and the Islamists, we need strong leadership to exert pressure and defend our borders. On a civilizational level, however, we are lost unless the West unites. Steyn opened the first chapter of America Alone with a chilling quote from historian

Arnold Toynbee:

“Civilizations die from suicide, not murder.”

The West should remember that.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/is_it_america_alone_in_the_fight_to_save_the_west_from_china_and_islam.html

Returning to the article’s Title. 

Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?

Slow Guy figures answer to above, Yes AND No. 

  • America Alone?  Yes. 
  • Save The “West”?  Not America.  NFW.  The “West” themselves MUST reach down and demonstrate the WILL to Save Themselves. Fend off Chinee and islam.  Unlikely from Slow Guy’s vantage.

Further, for my money, and I have not pondered this greatly. 

Europe / UK surrendered, when they adopted EU – European Union. 

  • Surrendered their destiny. 
  • Surrendered their identity. 
  • Surrendered their WILL, as unique countries, ways of life, traditions…
  • BREXIT was a leap towards saving Britain.  Which Britain ultimately fumbled.

Passing thought occured to me awhile ago.

  • Was the Utopian belief in the UN, an initial surrender by the Global Community? Dunno.  

On the positive side,

LIVING AMERICA FIRST, Has Always Been AND Remains The Answer.

  • Donroe Doctine a huge plus. for America AND Western Hemisphere.

Understatement of the day, week, month, year thus far.

We Are Witnessing, An Emerging, True, New World Order. 

As for Slow Guy.  Donroe Doctine, is tailor made for America, in these times.

Enough of the serious stuff.

Dear MAGA: 20260305 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


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!

Enjoy the first set of Thursday trinkets for March!


(1) Fake Feynman AI does a nice job here of being our Silicon Steve – explaining why [probably] Venus rotates BACKWARDS relative to the other planets of the solar system.

Watch for the typographical errors by the writing AI, which get sucked up into face-palm narration by the vocalization AI. It’s just stupid and cringe. Nevertheless, the science is good.


(2) An interesting chess rematch narrated by DrMike – check it out.


(3) Transitional hominin species Homo habilis gets a new set of skeletal remains, confirming the earlier ones, and our favorite junior anthropologist (Erika, a.k.a. Gutsick Gibbon) summarizes both the background science and the new paper on the new find. The real science can be a bit boring, but that’s often definitive for real science.


(4) Reaction video to (IMO) one of the best live rock performances from back in the mid-70s – by that band called Rush.

Yes, it’s annoying that she keeps interrupting the good parts, so here it is without interruption.

And if you’d prefer a shorter version with video, we have that, too!


(5) OK, how about more Rush, but with a SuSE twist? You may have heard this parody before, but it’s worth a listen to appreciate how well it’s re-done here.


(6) This is ….. different. An AI, heavy metal version of “The Old Rugged Cross”.


(7) You know, I think I’ll stick to the calming versions of these hymns!


OK, that does it. Enjoy your weekend!

2026.03.03 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

This is a break from the news of the day, a break from Iran and media overload.

This is dedicated to our friend, pgroup2.

Is Earth “home” for mankind, or, just a stopover on our way to another place of existence?

Hebrews 11:13 tells us;

“All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.”

This opener is about a song.

Wayfaring Stranger

I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger, from the movie “1917”

[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather ’round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep

[Chorus 2]
I’m going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

[Verse 3]
I am a poor wayfarin’ stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

Those are the lyrics of a uniquely American folk spiritual in the public domain dating back to pre-Civil War days. These particular lyrics are from one of many versions of the same song. It is one of many songs from the era of which there is no known songwriter credited. A version of these lyrics were published along with many others from the period in The Christian Songster in 1858. These songs were sung at camps, prayer meetings, social gatherings and revivals. Perhaps you know or have heard some of them.

https://hymnary.org/hymnal/CS1858

When you review them they have common themes that center around the belief that this earth is not our home. The songs are filled with both joy and great sorrow. A strong theme of hope for better times and reunions with loved ones abound throughout. And of course, they speak to the Savior of all mankind, Jesus Christ, as well as the adversity of Satan. Below is one of my favorite versions that match the lyrics above. It is hauntingly beautiful to go with the war imagery.

The Historical Period

Since these songs were originated in America and primarily composed in the lead up to the Civil War, the themes would reflect the attitudes and beliefs of common Americans during the period. The songs pull back the curtain on what people thought, believed and experienced. It appears the commie leftists have not yet found a way to hide these truths.

With our nation being founded under God’s Providence by a vast majority of Christians in its growing population, we can gain understanding of how the two centuries evolved from the pilgrims arrival in the words of these and other songs of the period. What we discover is they are remarkably consistent with those colonial predecessors.

Perhaps they knew what was about to come to this great land as the drumbeat of the impending Civil War became louder. Wars, violence and hardship of some sort always seemed to be present anyway. They also knew they would be the ones called upon to fight those wars and suffer the great losses that were to come. They longed for a better future and many saw that as only happening when they went to their eternal “home”.

So let’s move this along with some quality versions of the song. Pick and choose your flavor, or all of them when you get time.

First, from the Man in Black…

For the hillbilly bluegrass fans comes this performance of the song from the Father of Bluegrass during his latter days on earth.

Emmylou brings her wonderful style,

A quality country sound, a more recent version with some lyrics modification from Travis.

Yet, the song is timeless and travels across the pond as Ed Sheeran demonstrates in his own unique style…

Conclusion

Our American heritage offers strong clues of who we have been and are destined to be. We just need to pay attention and look for the evidence. Today we found evidence in an American folk spiritual song from two centuries ago. What we learn from it and others from the period is that four centuries have come and gone since the Pilgrims arrival and we have been searching for peace that America gives us the opportunity to find… as long as we continue to fight for her and each other.

Meanwhile, Christians know this world is not our home, that we are Wayfaring Strangers. Through Christ we have a heavenly passport to our eternal home. We are just passing through doing God’s will while here. There is no place like home when we are born again citizens of God’s Heaven.

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.

Dear KMAG: 20260302 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

mungo

noun

  • shoddy cloth made from shredding old or waste woven material
  • material of short fiber and inferior quality obtained by deviling woolen rags or the remnants of woolen goods, specifically those of felted, milled, or hard-spun woolen cloth, as distinguished from shoddy, or the deviled product of loose-textured woolen goods or worsted — a distinction often disregarded
  • low-quality wool
  • a slang term, sometimes derogatory, for a person who is rough, uncivilized, uneducated, unpleasant, perceived as inferior, etc.
  • one spelling of a Filipino dish made with mung beans (alternatively munggo)
  • additional proper names, including parks (2 kinds), people, and places

Used in a sentence

Retrosaria Mungo is a lovely worsted weight yarn made in Portugal. Mungo is made with 50% cotton which making it ideal for warmer weather knits. Mungo is entirely spun from pre-consumer waste generated by Portuguese spinning mills making it an amazing and sustainable yarn!

THE STUFF

This is a gift for Gail. It is about a Scottish explorer of Africa, by the odd name of Dr. Mungo Park. It is a brilliant bit of insight into the early days of the British Empire.

Up to my neck in “AI slop” videos about Dr. Park, I found this human-created GEM by pure accident. But it has a very different take.

Reality. Useful stuff.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Special Edition: The World According to Trade(Bait)

Another “fun” day of living in hillbilly land happened a couple of days ago. Thought I would share. I am sure many of you have experienced fun days of your own through the years.

We were awakened at 6 AM by a call from Daughter. Oh no, was the first thought. Hope it is not something bad with Son IL since he is on night shift. Nope, wasn’t that. Hope one of their family is not sick. Nope, wasn’t that.

It was her telling us the Fire Department had just left. It had rained all night and was still raining. In that rain, three FD vehicles and 10 personnel had arrived on their short cul-de-sac street in all of their gear in the wet yard and mud before going into their home.

The house had filled with smoke and the alarms had gone off at about 5 AM while Daughter and grandkids were asleep before SonIL got off his shift at 6 AM and headed home. Scared the kids and mom as well. The FD checked the nearly new package unit heat pump we had installed when they completed their addition and remodel this time last year. They found the exterior circuit breakers were hotter than they should be and pulled the disconnects. The HVAC unit (good name brand) and new ductwork had been repaired twice under warranty as the installation had been improper by an inexperienced crew. So our first thought was, “not again.” But no evidence of related problems or fire was found anywhere they looked. The smell was plastic and electrical, but had dissipated. The FD gave the all clear and left the scene not long after SonIL arrived from work.

SonIL was worn out from a night of DUI’s, domestics, shoplifting, etc. He needed sleep. So ole dad headed to the scene with his morning coffee. But before SonIL went to bed and I arrived, he decided to check the crawl space; the area that the FD apparently forgot to check. There is a bit of new wiring there from the addition as well as a sump pump that had been installed by the original builder. SonIL quickly determines he most likely found the problem. It seemed to be near the old sump pump from the smell in the space. He also remembered the pump making some loud noises two weeks before, however, it had reverted to normal and was working.

Even after I arrived it is continuing to do its thing about every 15 minutes from the pooling from the heavy rains. Water makes its way in around the footer downhill to the spot because the original builder had made the opening of the package HVAC too low to the ground. We have attempted numerous fixes, but nothing has worked to completely stop the problem, which is typically minor. Until that “fun” day.

The family is on a contract with a really good HVAC provider that also has plumbing and electrical services. SonIL called them and gave me as the contact person. He then went to bed after I arrived to try to get some sleep since he had another work night ahead of him. They were two officers short on his unit and shift as it was. Calling in for a day off was not going to happen.

The first on the scene less than two hours later were the electricians. One headed under the house while the other checked the breaker panel. They talked on their phones and the one under the house sent photos of what he found. We were in luck because that guy is also good at plumbing and discovered the issue as the sump pump along with how the smoke and electrical burn smell got into the house. All new wiring checked out good and to code. However, he noticed the elbow on the dryer exhaust pipe to the exterior had fallen off the pipe leading inside the house onto the ground. The laundry room is right next to the return air duct in the hall. So, every time the HVAC had come on since it fell (within the past year), the system was creating a vacuum into the house for crawl space air. A bad thing had led to a good thing of finding a major issue that could have led to far worse outcome.

Funny how those things work out sometimes. It is as if a somebody is watching out for all of us during our “fun” days. But I digress. 😉

The existing sump pump had been wired to an existing non-GFI circuit to another part of the house. That is a problem. Had it been on a GFI, it would have likely tripped the breaker when SonIL first heard the noises previously. The pump was extremely hot to touch and it appeared to have burn marks where the wiring connected. Bingo. The electrician noted there was no check valve on the pump. Problem. That should always be there. There was no weep hole on the intake pipe. That’s another problem. Will not go into the whys here, just know you need them so yours will not do what this one did. All of that contributed to the pump burning its motor partially, probably 50%, which explains how it was continuing to pump a small amount of ground water.

So, a call is made after my approval to the plumbing department and they sent a pro out within an hour. He checks it out, confirms the need, shows the damaged and problem areas, determines the options, goes back to get the one I selected and returns right after lunch. Less than an hour later he was done. The electricians planned to return once that was completed. The office called me and said it would be an hour before they arrived. Daughter left work early and had arrived to take over while her husband slept. I headed back to the house to clean up and eat a sandwich before returning to answer questions of the electricians.

That’s when the truly funny stuff happened.

While at home I received another phone call. SonIL had awakened before the arrival of the electricians. I had left word with Daughter that the heat pump was not working and that it was getting cool in the house. So she sent him out to check the circuit breakers and it turned out the disconnects had not been reinserted. Since we knew the source of the problem was not the heat pump, he reinserted. Literally within seconds, the entire house lost power!

Panic ensued. He called me and asked what happened and what he should do. I told him that the first thing was to check with neighbors to see if they had power. The second thing was to not panic, the electricians would be there soon if it was something within the home.

Daughter checked with neighbors – they were all out of power. At this point SonIL thought he has caused a power outage in the entire neighborhood!

😂

Meanwhile I checked the power company’s outage map and there was an outage for 1300 customers in that immediate vicinity. SonIL is suspecting that, nah, he could not have caused that. Daughter calls a fire fighter friend and she tells her there had been a car accident, the FD was on the scene, and that it caused the outage. She lets me know, but SonIL is on the other side of the property and unaware. The electricians, who had been delayed by another 30 minutes getting there, pulled up into the driveway.

I caught them and told them what happened, that seconds after SonIL had reinserted the disconnects in the breaker the power went off for the whole area. They agree to play along. SonIL comes from around the house minutes later and they asked him, “What in the world did you do?! Don’t you know not to reinsert those disconnects until we have cleared the fault?!” Panic returned to SonIL’s face again. He began melting down.

😂

We all burst out laughing and let him up, told him the truth. He was a good sport, but very relieved. It was probably good all of his cop and personal arsenal were locked up. I suspect the electricians will get pulled over one day when in town where he works. Paybacks are hell, ask the Supreme Leader.

The rest of the repair went well. New circuit pulled with GFI breaker in the box as well as receptacle under the house. Problem solved. Another “fun” day in paradise.

Accelerating Into A Future We Do Not Understand…

I do hope that we avoid the SkyNet scenario, but it is not at this time clear that we can or will.

A brief overview of the world we are already in with A.I. and humanoid Robots:

AI ROBOTS Are Becoming TOO REAL! – Shocking AI & Robotics 2025 Updates

1:45:51

4 months ago, so already out of date… A LOT of stuff of importance in the video. Where we end up and when? Happening now.

Moving up to 1 month ago, we get more advanced reasoning, no need for human coders, and even better robots, along with a first ship to factory work / production:

AI Shocks Again: Synthetic-Skin Robot, Microsoft KOSMOS, GPT 5.1, Gemini 3, Human-Level Unitree…

1:12:08

Clearly the field is in an exponential speed of change mode and I’m way behind…

Then again, maybe nobody needs to catch up anymore, as an A.I. has written an A.I. all the way from GPU low level code to top level Python interface code… and iterated it, testing and improving. Oh, and it is now open source.


AI Just Built Its Own Deep Learning Engine… And It Actually Works

11:27

And catching up to about now, China shipping 20,000 production worker humanoid robots this year to factories, while on stage they can use Nunchucks without hitting themselves (something hard for people to do…)

So exactly what work can a new high school graduate look forward to doing? Or even a college graduate? (Forget the Grievance Studies folks, they are already useless, I’m talking about junior coder or programmer Electrical Engineer…)

Happening NOW. So get ready for the world to change.

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
