This IS VERY MESSY! I was going to include Colombian President Gustavo Petro because he shares the drug trafficking problem with Maduro However this article got way too long. So I will save him until next week. I am starting with a video by Gordon aka Ghost (GhostofBasedPatrickHenry) since it gives a look at the background. It is long 1 ½ hours but the 15 minutes from 19:45 to around 32 minutes gives a decent summary.
The Book of Trump Chapter 42: Hugo Chavez Pt. 2
THE HIGH POINTS:
19:45 — Ghost mentions Fake news Bloomberg, can’t keep its lies straight and later shows what he means.
21:30 — Sec of State Rex Tillerson as CEO of Exon starts the anti Chavez & Madero lies (2006), Exon Mobil Current president gets tossed by Trump.
23:00 — Ghost says he fell out of the chair. He found a Business Insider article describing how Exon went into arbitration and LOST getting a much lower award, in line with what Venezuela originally offered.
24:30 — Chavez negotiates successful buyouts with 22 oil companies. They get paid for assets nationalized when they refused to renegotiate the contracts. Chevron stays & gets new deal.
Exon then pulls the dirty using English Guyana by drilling off shore in waters considered to belong to Venezuela but claimed by Guyana too. on Nov 23, 2023 Paramilitary move into Venezuela from Guyana possible connected to Israel – Gaza mess. The whole goes back to Tillerson and when he was CEO of Exon.
Prior to that in June there was a court ruling against Exon dealing with Chevron buying out Hess. Exon had an option to buy rights to oil in Orinoco Belt but the entire company is sold not just that contract.
Trump gives Chevron special exemption from sanctions.
32:31 – Ghost starts picking apart a recent Bloomberg’s video & explains what actually happened.
PDVSA was formed in 1976 when Venezuela nationalized it’s oil. It negotiated concession agreements like those used for renting out farmland. Most of the contracts were written for 1% the largest was a 16% royalty. Also included is an additional amount based on net profit. However the companies cheated by creating subsidiaries which were paid mucho $$$ for services so the ending net profits were very low.
34:45 — Ghost goes into the differences between the Saudi model & the Venezuelan model.
1:28:00 — The law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (more about them later) devised the Holding Company. It allows monopolies and vertical integration to become a legal form of corporation. He then goes into the following information:
Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó became rival claimants to the Venezuelan presidency following the 2018 presidential election, which the opposition and many international observers deemed illegitimate.Trump had originally supported Guaidó. “U.S. law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP will be the lead counsel for Venezuela’s opposition as it seeks to restructure the country’s foreign debt,opposition leader Juan Guaido’s overseas legal representative said on Tuesday”REUTERS LINK
Please note Guaidó was not the actually president and therefore had no authority.
With that as a background, let’s start with this tweet & video from Mike Benz. It agrees with Colonel Towner’s information about color revolutions in Latin America. They are fomented by the CIA on behalf of the big corporations.
Allen Dulles and his older brother John Foster Dulles both worked for the Wall Street law firm Sullivan & Cromwell. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson appointed John Foster Dulles, a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, as legal counsel to the United States delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference where he served under his uncle, Secretary of State Robert Lansing (WIKI) This would be WWI and the treaty whose terms were so harsh it set Europe up for WWII and Hitler.
Domestic and international finance has been at the core of the Firm’s work since its inception. Before World War I, S&C represented European bankers and bond syndicates in financing the development of America’s railroads and industrial infrastructure. William Cromwell himself proved instrumental in paving the way toward the construction of the Panama Canal.
Heading into the 20th century, as international capital flows diversified and increased, the Firm responded by opening branch offices in Berlin and Buenos Aires…
And finally fromBRAVE AISullivan & Cromwell’s current business.
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP has been involved in multiple high-profile legal matters related to ExxonMobil’s claims against Venezuela, particularly in the context of sovereign litigation and arbitration enforcement.
The firm has represented ExxonMobil affiliates in a long-running ICSID arbitration case concerning the nationalization of oil assets by Venezuela under Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro.
In October 2025, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled in favor of ExxonMobil affiliates, awarding $985.5 million plus interest and legal fees, after Venezuela failed to appear in enforcement proceedings.
Sullivan & Cromwell is also working with ExxonMobil on Supreme Court proceedings related to the enforcement of the ICSID award, including a petition filed in December 2024 (No. 24-699).
The firm previously served as lead counsel for Venezuela’s opposition (under Juan Guaidó) in 2019 in efforts to restructure the country’s foreign debt, highlighting its deep involvement in Venezuela’s political and financial legal landscape.
These engagements underscore Sullivan & Cromwell’s central role in resolving complex international disputes involving Venezuela’s oil sector and foreign investment claims.
Followed by a couple interesting moves by POTUS Trump.
…The funds were sent to Qatar, rather than being held in US banks or sent directly to Venezuela… Venezuelan banks have started advertising cash, suggesting the oil proceeds have arrived in the country… Venezuela has been sanctioned by Western governments across the globe, essentially cut off from the global banking system for years. Its authoritarian government seized oil assets over the past decades for which foreign energy companies have demanded compensation…
“…Its authoritarian government seized oil assets over the past decades for which foreign energy companies have demanded compensation…”
Fear all ye men who sail the Caribbean!
So why do I bring all this up? Because we know we will not get the true story from the Mockingbird Media. So how true is that highlighted sentence? Is it ALL energy companies or just ExonMobil. Are those two moves by POTUS Trump AGAINST Exon for a reason?
And most important, is Maduro a prisoner or is he a protected witness?
Ghost and others dig up information NOT covered in Mainstream Media reports. Ghost is the first to acknowledge he has no way of determining if his conclusions are correct, however the information is certainly interesting. That is why I am bringing it here.
Oil facilities at Venezuela’s western Maracaibo lake November 5, 2007.
I am going to use Badlands News Briefs and Some of Ghost’s videos as well as MSM clips. The briefs have the advantage of having clips of the actual documents Ghost uses. Click on his name to go to each different article.
Let me start by saying that I have long believed that we would see the extraction and “arrest” of President Maduro by the US military. Here I am on October 7th predicting as much, right down to Maduro willfully surrendering.
So nothing about this development is a total surprise, nor does it contradict any of my speculation that Nicolas Maduro is working in cooperation with President Trump. In fact, when I read that Maduro’s wife was also “arrested” (extracted) by US Special Forces and indicted as a narco-terrorist, it all but affirmed the theory that we are witnessing a cooperating witness/informant being brought into protective custody — not the toppling of a foreign ruthless dictator…
First off, the CIA apparently leaked the details of the operation to the New York Times and Washington Post so they could have the articles written and ready for publication.
WTF???
There was then widespread speculation about who would be taking over as leader, until President Trump clarified that President Maduro had appointed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as Acting President, and Trump said he would be honoring the appointment. (Because that’s what one does when arresting a ruthless narco-terrorist dictator.)…
I do think that this was a negotiated surrender between Maduro and Trump, not because Maduro is some ruthless dictator, but because Maduro is actually a cooperating witness who needs to be protected. I also think that Trump’s claims of the oil companies paying to rebuild the infrastructure of Venezuela could be reparations that are legitimately owed related to the lawsuits that were filed back in 2018 against dozens of the world’s most powerful oil executives, accusing them all of corruption and stealing Venezuela’s wealth. The lawsuit was filed by the Venezuelan oil company, PDVSA.
Obviously, this story still has plenty of plot lines to develop.
For those that may be new here, or otherwise unfamiliar with my research on both Nicolas Maduro and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, here is a 10 minute clip that provides a decent summary.
[It is a clip of Colonel Douglas Macgregor on Tucker talking about the idiocy of regime change, how unsuitable Maria Corina Machado would be given the 8,000 columbian drug criminals in the hills around Caracus.]
…Then there is this little factoid: Eric Prince of Blackwater went to Venezuela and met with Delcy Rodriguez six years ago. Many analysts are [wrongly] pointing to this as the moment that Rodriguez betrayed Maduro…
What if the Maduro “arrest” subverted the civil war plot?[To install regime darling Maria Corina Machado.Note that she visited Trump and got the side door treatment. 😂 -GC]
A SIDE TRIP INTO MARIA CORINA MACHADO
Maria Corina Machadowas a 2009 Yale World Fellow, a prestigious program at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs that brings emerging global leaders to Yale for a four-month residency. During her time at Yale, she studied at the School of Management and engaged in cross-cultural dialogue with other international leaders, including Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. — Brave AI
I even joked that Trump’s reaction was basically, “Yeah, we’ll probably leave the side door open for her, or something… And then the Mad Man actually did it. He forced Maria Corina Machado to enter the White House grounds through the guard gate like all the other tourists. Nobody came outside to meet her…. Even when Maria Corina Machado was departing, nobody could be bothered to see her out to her vehicle. They just ushered her out of the door and slammed it behind her.
Following Maduro’s removal, a group of U.S. lawmakers reportedly expressed support for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado as a potential future leader of the country. Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are said to have unanimously endorsed Machado after a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, praising her long opposition to Maduro’s government and calling for free and fair elections. The lawmakers’ backing comes despite Trump previously dismissing her prospects as Venezuela’s leader and reflects a degree of congressional support for the opposition figure’s role in shaping the country’s post-Maduro political landscape.

Now Trump is promising to turn his crosshairs on Colombian President Gustavo Petro— whom I have demonstrated in the video above is at the tip of the spear of the war against the cartels. Yet Trump insists that Petro is a cartel drug lord, just like he accused Maduro of being.
…It is also worth noting that Petro held a rally after Maduro’s arrest, where he said that “a clan of pedophiles”— specifically, “friends of Epstein”— were attempting to take over Colombia and Venezuela and must be stopped. — Ghost
…The plan had been negotiated through the Qataris, with Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Ric Grenell acting as intermediary, and approved by President Trump.
The Miami Herald reported on this rumor back in October.
Nicolás Maduro Guerra, spoke at a rally over the weekend and affirmed… they were following the directions left by his father.
…I have since stumbled onto new information that I think further validates the move, and it has to do with Scott Bessent’s announcement to imminently lift the sanctions President Trump imposed on Venezuela during his first term, so that oil sales could begin resume, as normal.
As I have detailed in this news brief and on stream countless times, President Maduro was given a laptop in March 2017. Maduro lawyer, David Boies, said: “In terms of the quality of the evidence, the extent of the misconduct, the amount of money, this was right at the top of anything I’ve seen in my career. It really demonstrated a long-running, massive and very sophisticated conspiracy.”
One year after Maduro was given the laptop (by the scorned wife of one of his corrupt officials), Boies filed civil lawsuits in the District of Southern Florida against 42 oil industry executives. He also filed those lawsuits in Geneva, Switzerland, where the companies involved all had offices. The Swiss authorities immediately raided the office of Helsinge, seizing computer servers that would launch a number of additional investigations, leading to countless arrests of industry officials in subsequent years.
Three months after the raid on the Helsinge office in Geneva, the Helsinge office in Miami was raided, and German-national Matthias Krull was arrested and charged with laundering $1.2 billion that had been stolen from PDVSA. A month later (August 2018) Krull pled guilty, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, though the judge advised that if Krull fully cooperated with authorities, he could have his sentence reduced.
Krull complied, and thus began “Operation Money Flight,” spearheaded by the Southern District of Florida’s International Narcotics and Money Laundering Section in cooperation with law enforcement in London, Rome, Madrid, and Malta, with the mission “to identify, investigate and prosecute high-level members of drug trafficking enterprises, bringing together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement.”
Simply put, this was the operation that would connect the white collar cartel (oil/energy/minerals) to the traditional cartel that trafficked drugs, guns, and humans, and Matthias Krull was the key to unlocking the case.
Krull, who was responsible for laundering the money that was being stolen from the Venezuelan government by the cartel, mapped out the financial network for authorities, demonstrating how the embezzled funds moved from Venezuela to the US and Europe. He helped secure plea deals from two other defendants, and the information led to Swiss regulators sanctioning the Swiss bank Julius Baer. For his cooperation, Matthias had his ten year sentence reduced to three and a half years, which is the largest sentence reduction ever granted by a US federal judge.
Krull’s information provided the road map for sanctions imposed on Venezuela by President Trump, which were strategically crafted and issued in a layered sequence that allowed for asset forfeiture and to ultimately crush the corruption ecosystem.
But the sanctions did something else that I had not fully appreciated before now.
I have previously relayed that because of Executive Order 13850 that President Trump issued in November 2018, which targeted entities doing busy with PDVSA by freezing bank wires and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the defense attorneys for the 42 oil officials were able to convince the judge that proceeding with discovery would violate national security. The judge agreed, and dismissed the lawsuits filed in Southern Florida.
What I didn’t realize was that what this meant wasn’t that the case was over. What it meant was that the case was paused, due to the sanctions, and would resume as soon as the sanctions were lifted. Meaning that discovery to pursue that evidence will still be viable.
Not only that, but as soon as Scott Bessent lifts those sanctions, and the [now lawful] bank wire transfers proceed from PDVSA operations, the regulators who monitor those transfers will quickly begin to notice discrepancies between how the money is flowing now versus how it was flowing prior to the sanctions, triggering new SARs that will likely lead to new investigations.
When the information from the discovery from PDVSA’s 2018 lawsuit is coupled with the information that was seized in the Helsinge raids, not to mention any new intel that is generated from newly filed SARs, that is going to create a massive web of conspiracy that will surely implicate a number of individuals and corporations.
I plugged the lawsuit filings into ChatGPT (which provides a list of alleged embezzlers) and asked it to run scenarios of how this could play out. It speculated that a single banker cooperating could lead to multiple companies being exposed. It speculated that, given the information already publicly available, that the private banks involved (Julius Baer Group, EFG International, Credit Suisse) were almost certain to cooperate first, along with the compliance officers and internal auditors. It then ran through the whole list of defendants, gauging their likelihood to cooperate in exchange for reduced time.
While many of the senior executives will likely avoid prison time (though plenty have already been prosecuted), given the countless loopholes and insulation from the criminality, in these situations the real goal is the asset seizure. However, what makes this case unique is the fact that certain PDVSA officials do have ties to the traditional cartels, and those entities have been designated terrorist organizations by the Trump administration. So things could get very interesting very quickly, if this plays out the way that it should.
So to answer Jon Herold’s question, “Why did Maduro have to initiate COG and remove himself from power?”
So that the optics would allow Scott Bessent to lift the sanctions against PDVSA, and open up the floodgates for discovery via lawfare, which should ultimately link banks and oil companies to the cartel.

If we are talking CIA and Drug trafficking you can not leave out the BANKS needed to launder the money.
Last week we had a story break about the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse, about old Nazi bank accounts and may others related to human trafficking and drug trafficking.
Now we have a story about UBS, which was forced to purchase Credit Suisse in 2023 by the Swiss government, when it became clear that Credit Suisse was facing insolvency.
Nothing about any of this feels organic.
We also had Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in his press conference (entirely in Spanish) following his meeting with President Trump, where Petro said that he had talked to Trump specifically about joining forces to go after all of the bankers who were the “bosses of bosses” in charge of the cartels.
An excerpt from his remarks: PS – I managed to get the transcript of his statements and translate them into English, and read through the remarks during my show on Friday.
U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that an independent investigation uncovered 890 previously undisclosed accounts at Credit Suisse with potential links to the Nazi regime during World War II….
The probe, conducted by U.S. lawyer Neil Barofsky, also found that Credit Suisse expropriated funds from accounts belonging to Jewish individuals during the Nazi era and transferred them to Nazi clients.
Additional details emerged regarding the bank’s involvement in schemes to assist Nazis in fleeing to Argentina after the war… Barofsky had initially investigated Credit Suisse as an independent entity, but was fired after the bank allegedly obstructed his efforts.
Following UBS’s government-brokered acquisition of Credit Suisse in 2023, UBS rehired Barofsky to continue the voluntary review.
This is where things get very spicy, and very interesting. It’s also where the narrative “cloud of war” seems to benefit a White Hat plan.
Allow me to explain.
This Congressional investigation into Credit Suisse was initiated by Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
You may recall that Whitehouse was the insufferable prick who viciously excoriated all of President Trump’s Cabinet nominations last year.
The reason Whitehouse opened the investigation was to determine whether Credit Suisse had helped Nazi SS officers flee Germany and escape to Argentina by providing them banking services with extreme discretion. Whitehouse was first put up to this task in March 2020 by the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), a Jewish human rights organization named for a famous Nazi hunter.
In 2021, Credit Suisse hired former US prosecutor Neil Barofsky to act as an independent ombudsman to conduct an internal investigation into the bank’s Nazi-era accounts. A year into his investigation, the bank pressured Barofsky into limiting the scope of his inquiry, ultimately firing him in December 2022— just months before Credit Suisse would face insolvency and be forced by the Swiss government to be acquired by their competitor, UBS Bank.
By this time, Whitehouse and the co-chair on this committee, Chuck Grassely had heard that Credit Suisse had likely fired Barofsky in an attempt to conceal the depth of the scandal, they intervened, demanding that Barofsky be reinstated— which he was, by UBS Bank, after the acquisition was completed in 2023.
I will remind you that Credit Suisse’s insolvency was most likely triggered by massive asset forfeiture that was conducted by the DOJ’s Operation Money Flight, which had arrested investment banker Mathias Krull in July 2018, after determining that Krull had laundered $1.2 billion worth of funds embezzled from Venezuela’s oil company PDVSA. While investigations into PDVSA’s stolen funds had been underway for years prior to Nicolas Maduro filing his infamous [though relatively unknown] RICO lawsuit against the oil industry in March 2018, the trove of evidence provided by Maduro created a map that led to multiple raids in both the US and Europe— including Mathias Krull.
If the name Neil Barofsky sounds familiar, that’s because he was the Special Inspector Generalat the heart of the 2008 financial crisis, appointed to investigate the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP,) but also the [$55 trillion credit default swap] Mortgage Fraud investigation in the Southern District of New York.
It was Barofsky who testified in a Senate hearing that, “It is extremely unlikely that the taxpayer will see a full return on its TARP investment,” referring to the $3 trillion bank bailout.
Prior to these gigs, Barofsky worked as an assistant US district attorney in New York, where he “prosecuted 50 leaders of the Colombian militia group FARC on narcotics charges and successfully argued one of the largest accounting fraud cases in history.”
Simply put, Barofsky understands the corruption of the banking and financial systems as well as anybody, and also has the unique experience of prosecuting Colombian cartel members on narcotics charges.
I share all of this to demonstrate that in this fog of war, we see multiple lines of inquiry coinciding in strange and wonderful ways, with Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 RICO civil action lawsuit running right into a congressional inquiry that was started by a Jewish human rights organization, with both investigations ultimately setting their sights on the Swiss banking system—specifically, Credit Suisse—the irony being that Maduro is the most staunch and vocal anti-Israel world leader of the Trump era, which is why the Zionists have been so eager to see him overthrown.
Digging into articles from the past few years, I found one from Argentina that specifically cites Credit Suisse and PDVSA, while alluding to Credit Suisse’s history with the Nazis going back to the 1940s.
It even discloses that Credit Suisse has over 18,000 accounts owned by both white collar criminals and hardened cartel bosses that total over $100 billion in assets.
Citing criminal investigations— not the Maduro lawsuit—the article states that the PDVSA-related accounts at Credit Suisse, which were used to hide the money that was embezzled and laundered from PDVSA, were all opened between 2004 and 2015. That’s interesting because that is theexactcorruption timeline that is cited in the Maduro lawsuit— though the lawsuit did not mention Credit Suisse or any other banking institution.
So would this explain why the Venezuelan economy was completely gutted an collapsing by the time Nicolas Maduro comes into office in 2013, compounded by the artificially crashing of oil prices by the Deep State in 2014, which brought Venezuela’s economy to a grinding halt?
The articlenames former PDVSA official Nervis Villalobos, who was arrested in Spain in 2018.
In a separate articlethat I found that was published around the same time (2022) by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, look who shows up and gives insight on Villalobos:
That’s our guy, Mathias Krull, who became a cooperating witness for the DOJ in exchange for clemency on his 10 year prison sentence.
The point is that the global banking system is being exposed—through multiple different tracks—for the fact that it is the actual cartel.
I recently learned that the Venezuelan opposition, operating out of the United States and led by Juan Guaido, among others, retained the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell back in 2019 to prepare to restructure the $60 billion in debt that Venezuela had
For those who aren’t familiar with this firm, I would implore you to look into them—listen to any of the many podcasts we have done on the subject here at Badlands—but the short version is that they were the CIA before there was a CIA. (Both of the Dulles brothers maintained employment there throughout most of their lives.)
It’s clear that when President Trump signed his recent Executive Order that intends to protect Venezuela’s oil profits from creditors and other vultures, Sullivan and Cromwell was at least one of the “targets” of the EO.
I would also recommend that you take a listen to last night’s episode of The Book of Trump—Hugo Chavez, Part Two—where I explain that it was ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson who started the Deep State’s crusade against Venezuela in 2007, ten years before he would become President Trump’s first Secretary of State.
Tillerson flexed on Maduro during Trump’s first year, leaning on Steve Mnuchin to issue sanctions against him. President Trump then fired Tillerson in March 2018—the exact same month that Maduro’s famous lawyer, David Boies, filed those infamous lawsuits against 42 entities related to a RICO-styled corruption case.
Boies filed in both the District of Southern Florida and in Geneva, Switzerland. Within days of this filing, the Swiss authorities raided the office of the lawsuit’s primary defendant, Helsinge. Four months later, Trump’s DOJ raided the Helsinge office in Miami, arresting banker Mathias Krull and charging him with laundering over $1.2 billion for not just the oil companies and banks, but also for the cartel. Meaning Krull is the keystone, along with Executive Order 13850.
So in spite of Delcy Rodríguez’s theatrics, all of the evidence suggests that she and Maduro are working with Trump against the Deep State/CIA, MI6, and Israel/Mossad.
Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, publicly said she has had “enough orders from Washington” and called for Venezuela’s internal conflicts to be resolved by Venezuelan politics without foreign interference in her first public address since Maduro was removed from power.
“Enough orders from Washington on politicians in Venezuela. Let Venezuelan politics resolve our differences and internal conflicts. Enough of foreign powers,” Rodríguez said, according to AFP…
The CIA Is Moving Back to Venezuela (If They Ever Left)
said the Trump administration is prepared to use force to secure cooperation from Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, while signaling that the United States expects compliance through political and economic leverage before taking further action.
As part of the agreement, India committed to halting purchases of Russian crude oil and shifting imports toward US suppliers and Venezuelan crude. Trump also stated that India agreed to reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers on US products, describing the goal as moving toward zero, resolving the 2025 US–India trade dispute tied to Russian energy imports.
In parallel, Trump said the United States welcomes Chinese and Indian investment in Venezuela’s oil sector, making the remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One around January 31–February 1. He stated that China “is welcome” to make deals in Venezuela, and that India is “coming in” to buy Venezuelan oil. Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but production has been constrained for years by sanctions and political instability; Trump characterized the current approach as allowing third-country investment and purchases as part of broader energy realignment.
Trump administration officials held months-long discussions with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello before the U.S. operation that led to the seizure of President Nicolás Maduro, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The communications, which continued after the 3 January U.S. raid, were aimed at preventing instability inside Venezuela, the sources said. U.S. officials warned Cabello against using the security forces and ruling-party militants under his control to target opposition figures…
There is a clear continuity of the Maduro plotline between the first and second Trump administrations, with Ric Grennel meeting Jorge Rodriguez— the brother to now acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez— in Mexico City in late 2020. That story was even reported at the time as Grennel trying to secretly negotiate an exit for Maduro, though I am unconvinced that was the real intent.
Ric Grennel then reunited with Jorge Rodriguez in January of last year, after President Trump was sworn in, when Grennel went to Caracas to meet Maduro and bring home six Americans who had been imprisoned. We now have this story about Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello being warned about using private security forces against political opposition. What’s interesting is that Erik Prince appeared on Steve Bannon’s show last week to explain why it was important that the US not repeat the same mistakes we made in Iraq, and allow Delcy Rodriguez to contract directly with any private military contractor that may be needed to shore up security.
What’s interesting is that Erik Prince secretly traveledto Caracas in November 2019 to meet with Delcy Rodriguez, and it was even speculated at the time by the MSM that this was President Trump’s attempt to establish a backchannel with the Maduro regime, despite the fact that the Trump administration officially supported the opposition leader, Juan Guiado, in their public rhetoric.
About an hour or two after Prince appeared on Bannon’s show, President Trump took a few questions from the media while leaving the White House. When asked why he was supporting Delcy Rodriguez over Maria Corina Machado, he responded, “‘If you ever remember a place called Iraq where every single person was fired—the police, the generals, everybody was fired and they ended up being ISIS… I remember that.”
So Trump is simultaneously disclosing that the US State Department created ISIS when it hired all those private military contractors to run Iraq, while asserting that installing Maria Corina Machado as Venezuelan President would effectively yield the same result?
Based.
We are also learning that Machado brought with her to the White House an advisor who once publicly called President Trump, “an idiot,” for accusing former US President Barack Obama of spying on him.
As Energy Secretary Chris Wright toured infrastructure in Venezuela Thursday, President Trump took to Truth Social totalk progressin the embattled nation:
“Relations between Venezuela and the United States have been, to put it mildly, extraordinary! We are dealing very well with President Delcy Rodriguez, and her Representatives. Oil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money, unseen for many years, will soon be greatly helping the people of Venezuela. Marco Rubio, and all of our Representatives, are doing a fantastic job, but we speak only for ourselves, and don’t want there to be any confusion or misrepresentation. There is a story about a man named Harry Sargeant III in The Wall Street Journal….
WIKI
Harry Sargeant III (born December 30, 1957) is an American energy and shipping magnate from Florida. A former officer and fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps, Sargeant operates an expansive, multibillion-dollar conglomerate of private global enterprises consisting of aviation companies, oil refineries, oil trading operations, alternative fuels development, and oil and asphalt shipping, his father’s company, Sargeant Trading, being the largest fleet of asphalt tankers and barges in the world. He is also the owner of International Oil Trading Company (IOTC), a company that supplies aviation fuel to the U.S. Military in Iraq…
A Pentagon audit has found that the federal government overpaid Harry Sargeant III by as much as $204 millionon several military contracts worth nearly $2.7 billion. The audit by the Defense Department’s inspector general estimated that the department paid the oilman “$160 [million] to $204 million more for fuel than could be supported by price or cost analysis.” The study also reported that the three contracts were awarded under conditions that effectively eliminated the other bidders. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), who led the probe, asserted in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates that Sargeant had won the three jet fuel contracts, despite having among the highest bids, because he had an effective monopoly over the routes. Waxman accused Sargeant and his company of price gouging and “engaging in the worst form of war profiteering.”
Makes you wonder if Sargeant is another one of the oil Execs who ripped off the Venezuelan people.
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

I want to remind everyone that POTUS Trump calls mainstream media FAKE NEWS for a reason. We have been fed lies and distortions for over a century in order to keep the public from revolting. To keep the public willing to fork over wealth and bodies for the Cabals wars of conquest.
That brings us to Election Fraud, hackable machines and Venezuela. I get the feeling that Venezuela is not what we think it is AND that it is a key.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday shared a post from the X platform on his personal social network “Truth Social”, which states that Elon Musk prevented the manipulation of the results of the 2024 US presidential election by blocking the computers of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia.
He lost the 2020 presidential election for a second term to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. He claimed that Democrats had stolen the election, and these claims culminated in his supporters attacking the US Congress on January 6, 2021, writes N1.
Now he has shared the message of one of his loyalists with a verified account, Johnny St. Pete, who on X published information from the American conservative commentator and columnist, Benny Johnson, who, according to him, X’s owner, Elon Musk, saved the 2024 presidential election by monitoring IP addresses in foreign countries through which votes were counted and blocking their computers.
“Musk knew he would win the election and it seems that this happened because they identified the systems and machines in foreign countries that would do what we saw in 2020,” St. Pete wrote in the post that Trump also shared, the Telegraph reports.
He adds that Musk tracked the IP addresses of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia and blocked the computers a few days before the 2024 elections. In his post, which Trump also seems to agree with, St. Pete refers to Emerald Robinson, a former White House correspondent who worked for several media outlets, including Newsmax, and is now one of the most well-known conspiracy theorists in the US….

PROOF: National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard CONFIRMS they have evidence Electronic Voting Machines are rigging elections
The voting machines are Dominion Voting Machines
“Voting machines contain evidence of voter fraud and manipulation according to several national security sources who briefed me on the issue. I’ve had some conversations with Tulsi Gabbard’s office themselves.
“We can now reveal that a secret team led by the United States attorney in Puerto Rico, seized rigged voting machines some time ago that was used in recent elections on the island and had turned them over to Tulsi Gabbard in a joint investigation at the ODNI, the office of the director of national intelligence”
“These machines were not allowed to be wiped, according to my sources, and reprogrammed by the vendor Dominion Voting Machines after being used in elections where widespread issues were reported”
“How bad were those problems? Of the 4,490 polling stations used in the last elections, 3,119, that’s equivalent to roughly 70%, were unable to transmit results from their respective voting centers according to the State Elections Commission in response to a lawsuit filed”
The Clintons had full control over the contracts for anyone getting involved in the Haitian recovery efforts. These efforts also included Hatian elections. The Clintons implemented Smartmatic into Hatian politics after the 2010 earthquake.
The Clintons had full control over the contracts for anyone getting involved in the Haitian recovery efforts. These efforts also included Hatian elections. The Clintons implemented Smartmatic into Hatian politics after the 2010 earthquake. This is the beginning of the global operation to install these manipulative, backdoor implemented electronic voting machines worldwide to steal elections and install the candidate of their choice. This is the election fraud cartel and its inception.
It is interesting that the Venezuelan engineers headed for Florida and incorporated in Delaware.
Ownership, Acquisitions, Reorganizations, and Technology Transfers
by Dynamojo — ABCU|8
“Founded in Venezuela in 1997 by a team of three engineers – Antonio Mugica, Alfredo José Anzola, and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic specializes in the design and end-to-end deployment of technology solutions for specific applications. The company’s niches are: electronic voting systems, smart city solutions (including public safety and public transportation), identity management systems for civil registration, and authentication products for government applications.” [1]
On April 11, 2000, the same three Venezuelan engineers founded the company Smartmatic in Delaware, United States and opened its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with seven employees in November of that year.
“Delaware, US: The world’s top secrecy jurisdiction. Register a company here and no one will ever know. If you have overseas income, it will be tax exempt.” [2]
There is a lot more in that article. The references are interesting.
…In April 2003 in Caracas, Venezuela, Smartmatic officially unveiled its prototype for election automation. The testing of the prototype covered all the details of the process necessary for any type of election. During the tests, emphasis was placed on the system’s encryption capabilities, which are essential for the confidential storage and transmission of data, as well as the robustness of the software and hardware system’s components. The system passed all tests with no shortcomings, said a company spokesperson.
The voting system was developed entirely in-house by Smartmatic. That includes the integration of hardware and software systems from design stage to end-to-end deployment. Such a complex, purpose-built technical solution would require a strong, system-wide R&D capability that would not have been possible in Venezuela without massive technical and financial support. Although Smartmatric established a U.S. presence in 2000, almost all of its products were developed in Venezuela, a country where capital is scarce and scientific research and manufacturing are not sophisticated.
Key conclusion/question #1: where did the financing and R&D knowledge come from?

Now let’s take a quick look at the book Stolen Elections
CannCon (Brian Lupo) and Ashe in America of the Badlands weekly podcast “Why We Vote” are dissecting this book chapter by chapter. Ashe and Brian probably have the best overview of the 2020 election fraud since they have spend years interviewing the main players. Of interest, they were supposed to interview Patrick Byrnes and at the last minute, literally as they were going on air, he backed out. Bynes now says he has no idea who Brian is despite the back and forths while setting up the interview.🙄 This was at the time he finally confessed he had been working for the CIA for 25 years.
This is an Article by CannCon that shows his more in-depth look compared to what he writes for The Gateway Pundit.
Badlands Book Club – Book 5: Stolen Elections – Chapter 5
CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Towner for a deep dive into Chapter 5 of Stolen Elections, continuing a detailed critique of the book’s central claims surrounding Venezuelan election interference. The discussion systematically breaks down assertions about Smartmatic, Sequoia, and Dominion, questioning timelines, source code claims, and the credibility of so-called whistleblowers repeatedly cited throughout the chapter. The panel examines alleged DOJ investigations, the role of intelligence agencies, and inconsistencies tied to money laundering cases, coup attempts, and U.S. political figures used to bolster the book’s narrative. Particular attention is given to how language like “fundamentally the same” is used to imply proof without evidence, along with scrutiny of charts, slides, and unnamed sources presented as authoritative. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize logical gaps, historical context, and technical misunderstandings, challenging listeners to separate documented fact from insinuation as the chapter’s argument increasingly unravels.
In every book written by a CIA agent, in the front with the copyright and such, it will have a statement that it has been reviewed by the CIA. If it is not written by a CIA agent it will be reviewed and have redactions and there will be a statement that it has been thru that review.
9:30 — The Colonel explains how the true whistle blowers get around this CIA meddling.
In this book, the author, Pazulo, makes it obvious he is writing in collaboration with a CIA officer, Gary Bernstein who he quotes excessively thru the entire book. They talk about all sorts of classified info like the Lebanese Venezuelan Drug dealer that was running drugs for the CIA, about Frank Holder being a triple agent. Was Holder a CIA asset too? The Colonel searched and there is no defamation case based on the Holder chapter which totally slanders the guy.
…
Back to the featured video.
9 min: Examples of the CIA building back doors into software by Colonel Towner.
I add some articles.
Crypto AG was a project in the aftermath of WWII. The Crypto AG company was a CIA front in Switzerland. It made equipment sold to embassies around the world. Trump got rid of it.
Another example is the Promis Software. The CIA in collusion with the DOJ stole the software from the inventor and created a backdoor, MOSSAD also ends up with a copy. The backdoor allowed monitoring of other money laundering operations and covered up the intel agencies’ own. This allowed the intel agencies to gather evidence and use it against their competitors. There is a discussion on how to make the evidence usable in court.
So when these guys ( who are CIA assets) say voter fraud can not be proved, well the CIA is expert at that.
Colonel Towner: “They have 16,000 emails from Smartmatic and 20,000 emails from Dominion gathered during discovery in the legal case against Fox News. They were involved in briefing Fox News. So why then did Fox settle if these dudes had all the smoking gun evidence from that case? The evidence they are using to write this book? These Emails include admission of fraud by Dominion (15 minutes)
At this point things get fun.😂
In 10/8/2024 there were four criminal indictments in FL for 2 officials working for Smartmatic. The Federal Asst Attorney is Michael Nadler, [they checked it is Jerry’s son although Brave AI at first says it is not and then says it is. A photo shows the poor guy looks just like Jerry Nadler.] you heard [read] that correctly but it gets better. Way back in 2018 Nadler secured the largest judgment to date against a Venezualian insider. The former treasurer who is now serving 10 years in prison.
Ivan Freites, who lives in Miami, filed the lawsuit in January 2025, accusing Horacio Medina, who is the president of the ad hoc board of directors of PDVSA that controls the company’s U.S. assets, and others, including a former Venezuelan ambassador, a professor and a film director, of orchestrating a campaign to defame them as a result of their lawsuit in Delaware alleging PDVSA workers were denied compensation. Rodriguez and Otero, both of whom live in Switzerland, joined the lawsuit.
They accused the defendants of orchestrating a “coordinated and malicious campaign [of] defamation, intimidation, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and racketeering” as a result of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit against PDVSA and its U.S. subsidiary, Citgo, in Delaware claiming they were wrongfully terminated from their jobs at PDVSA in 2002 and 2003. Citgo’s motion to dismiss that lawsuit is pending.
Specifically, the plaintiffs accuse the defendants of portraying them as “traitors, frauds, and corrupt opportunists” who, among other allegations, received illicit funds from former Venezuelan officials.
….
Back to video:
Colonel: So this is the Attorney and DOJ that used a back dated Interpol arrest warrant to prosecute a guy who wanted to feed the people in Venezuela. And the USA nabbed him on the Tarmac under false pretenses. An Interpol arrest warrant Mike Pompeo personally orchestrated along with John Bolton.
The reason they want to make Alejandro the bad guy is to give Nadler a trophy. Nadler with his ‘Venezuela’ experience [2 cases, years apart] is one of the attorneys for the authors. Martin keeps writing he has 15 yrs experience working in the DOJ as a consultant for criminal investigations and Gary has worked 25 years for the CIA.
They also say “On our own and with outside resources, we decided to launch our own investigation.” Except they had Patrick Byrne, another long time CIA asset, funding them and Jerry Nadler’s son as their attorney so not exactly detached from ‘Authority’ [or at least the Deep State. — GC]
And on page 38 they say “They have no political agenda” [… Jerry Nadler… Bush & Obama’s DOJ… CIA??? — GC]
Martin also says “We conducted this as a criminal investigation. We have focused on collecting evidence and witnesses which is the opposite of what Trump’s Lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Guiliani did after the 2020 election when they made claims without conducting an investigation.”
The Colonel points out there were investigations. Rudy flew to Ukraine and got statements. Sidney had a pile of affidavits. However there were people inserted into their investigations to destroy them [This is a very important point. It would explain Sidney’s guilty plea in the Fulton case, would it not? — GC]
Remember what happened on a highway in GA to a wonderful young man who was connected to Kemp, Loeffler and Perdue after all three called for a signature audit?? Run the timeline on Kemp’s change of heart—and add in the bogus dismissal of our 4 federal fraud cases‼️🤬… https://t.co/eY29EsO6aN
👉 Ashe: I — 100% agree. Sidney talked about Venezuelan whistle blowers but they never materialized. 👈 That was the key dispute between Tucker Carlson [while on Fox] and Sidney. Carlson humiliated Sydney on air saying she keeps coming to me and saying this stuff and there just isn’t anything. Tucker said “ We tried to vet every single aspect and there is nothing.”
Ashe goes on to say, “You will not convince me that Sydney Powell was operating in bad faith or going off 1/2 cocked. She was told stuff and even shown stuff and then her investigation was sabotaged. So now the authors are throwing her and Rudy under the bus implying that this [their investigation] could have happened if not for Sidney and Rudy.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Colonel has been saying the Cartel de los Soles does not exist. It was CIA.
The US justice department classified the Cartel De Los Soles (Cartel of the Suns) alongside ISIS and Al-Qaeda in November. 43 days later, the US has effectively admitted the organisation does not exist – at least not as a cartel in any conventional sense.
The fact is, Cartel De Los Soles was always shorthand for high-level government corruption in Venezuela. It’s use goes backto the 1990s. The ‘suns’ refer to a rank insignia worn by grifting senior military officials. Which means the US classified a slang term in the same category as actual terror groups…
The Colonel then says these people, the senior military officials, were trained in the School of Americas.
Founded by the United States in 1946, the SOA was initially located in Panama, but in 1984 it was kicked out under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty and moved to the army base at Fort Benning, Georgia. Then-President of Panama Jorge Illueca called it “the biggest base for de-stabilization in Latin America,” and a major Panamanian newspaper dubbed it ” The School of Assassins.”
Today, SOA instructors and students are recruited from the cream of the Latin American military establishment. The School trains 700-2,000 soldiers a year, and since its inception in 1946, more than 60,000 military personnel have graduated from the SOA.
There is a list of countries and number of graduates.
The colonel decided to visit this school in Ft Benning GA and who should she see walking out? A Columbian colonel.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So were the stories of Venezuelan Software engineers who developed hackable voting machines and turned whistle-blowers nothing more than CIA BAIT used to ensnare Sidney Powell and MAGA?
According to intelligence sources US Military raided voting machine company Scytl servers in Germany for evidence of manipulation in 2020 US Elections after it was exposed in vote switching scandal by GreatGameIndia. Scytl has a long history of election fraud in various nations including injecting backdoors in its election software. The issue has prompted experts to question why the sensitive job of counting votes was outsourced to a foreign company? How could a bankrupted Spanish company Scytl count American votes in Spain?
According to Congressman Louie Gohmert, Texas there is “compelling evidence” of vote switching in the 2020 presidential election compiled by the Spanish electronic voting machine company Scytl.
The Texas lawmaker said in an interview with Newsmax TV that US military forces seized the company’s server in Frankfurt, Germany. Gohmert said there are some who believe it’s U.S. intelligence “that manipulated all this” to cover themselves…
More intelligence and reports are coming out to help Americans connect the dots of the election fraud carried out by Deep State operatives.
This information could also explain why Defense Secretary Mark Esper was terminated by President Donald Trump last week…. Now enters WikiLeaks. On Tuesday, WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents showing specific details of secret CIA hacking.
This included “malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized ‘zero day’ exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation.”
These leaks may have revealed “that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East.“…

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
xyston
noun
short pike used by Greek heavy cavalry
long thrusting lance, used in ancient Greece
long thrusting spear in ancient Greece, measuring about 3.5 to 4.25 m long, probably held by the cavalryman with both hands, consisting of a wooden shaft and a spear-point at both ends
Used in a sentence
The shaft of the xyston was usually made from sturdy wood, such as cornel or ash, which provided the necessary strength and flexibility.
Cornel, also known as the Cornelian cherry, has a wood that is used for spears. That wood is heavier than water and does not float. The tree is actually a dogwood with an edible faux cherry fruit. This video shows both the tree and preserving the fruit.

Here's a major reason why the FBI and DNA Tulsi Gabbard just raided Fulton County, and it is mind-blowing.
Check out the duplicate ballots that were scanned in Georgia.
Badlands Media Special Coverage – Fulton County Election Bombshell w/ Ashe & Canncon Around 19 minutes to 34 minutes is the presentation by Mr Rossi showing WHY the duplication was NOT by ‘mistake’ as was the official story.
The NEW batch was composed of ballots from DIFFERENT batches so it was not a batch run twice by mistake. More over Joe Rossi says the ballots were taken from the middle of the stacks.
“…The episode centers on testimony and evidence presented during recent Georgia State Election Board and Senate Ethics hearings, including ballot discrepancies, mixed ballot batches, and documentation showing officials were aware of vote shortfalls following the 2020 election…”
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE 15 MINUTES TO LISTEN TO THIS PART OF THE 3 HOUR PRESENTATION — IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!
Wow. @realDonaldTrump just posted this. Stuff we have known for a long time for those that have been in the election integrity fight. It’s all finally coming out

Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here.
If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they'd be reporting to Bondi and DOJ.
Before I offer conjecture, I want to add just a little more context to why my POV has any use to anyone else.

Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here. If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they’d be reporting to Bondi and DOJ. Gabbard was very likely able to discern the relevant gist from the documents recovered because she already knew what they contained before she ever arrived.
Let me explain a bit further. To get a search warrant, a Federal Magistrate—one with no ties to Trump, and in fact a resume filled with Legal Aid and Public Defense—found probable cause that evidence of a crime existed in the narrow scope of what was being requested via search warrant. Considering how not-narrow of scope that warrant actually turned out to be, and Gabbard’s involvement, we can deduce several things.
First, that there is already a substantial case that some serious crime occurred and that this is not anywhere near the first evidence they’ve collected. Getting such a warrant from such a Magistrate would be essentially impossible otherwise; we can’t even get a similarly situated Magistrate to provide the pro forma signature on a Complaint related to Don Lemon committing several felonies on public video, with numerous admissions and confessions. Let’s not pretend here.
Second, that the foreign nexus has probably already been getting plugged away at with the foreign-oriented intelligence apparatus for some time. It is probable, I’d hazard a guess, that a FISA warrant or two have been employed. Gabbard already knew exactly what they were looking for and she wanted to be on scene for its recovery.
TL;DR — Somebody, somewhere, someday soon is completely f*cked. I’ll save conjecture for a follow-on post
FOLLOW ON POST:
Before I offer conjecture, I want to add just a little more context to why my POV has any use to anyone else. I was an intelligence/counterintelligence guy for more than a decade before becoming a lawyer and prosecutor. I’ve worked in connection to the FBI many times. I’ve worked on dual CI/LE missions and operations.
As far as my historical thoughts on the 2020 election, they more or less boiled down to “It doesn’t have to be a grand conspiracy. Four separate groups in four separate cities all getting the idea to dump some fake ballots; that’s all it took, and thats what the evidence indicates happened.”
I was never big into the Dominion or electronic vote tabulation theories because none of that would have been necessary to accomplish the goal. It also wouldn’t account, in my assessment, for the lack of a repeat in 2024. So, that said—
Conjecture: Gabbard was already working on something related to this by August; she’d given some offhand comments during a Cabinet meeting with the President when he was talking about burn bags not getting burned. Maybe they’re talking about burn bags at the election office in Georgia, but I’m not convinced.
I’ve worked elections (not in Georgia) as a staffer, and we never had burn bags. Nothing ever got destroyed. But who does use burn bags? All of the intelligence agencies, like the FBI, NSA, DIA, CIA, etc.
I suspect that something was found in the intelligence community’s possession substantiating a foreign nexus to election irregularities in Fulton County, Georgia. I suspect that FISA warrants and active Operations have pulled that thread and established an extensive record of evidence. I suspect that this is later into the investigation, rather than earlier. I promise, there is no tendency I hate more from rightwing influences than “Tick Tock” BS, but I think this might be legit. This looks like something significant
We spent an ungodly amount of time looking at GA voter records before Biden was sworn in.
In Southern ATL precincts, 8-10% of voters appeared to have touched two ballots: a mail-in ballot and a ballot cast in person. I assume most of them had no idea their mail-in ballot had been illegally requested or returned.
Several paid progressive companies had street teams, had a worker on each street, or in every apartment, who was paid to collect requests for mail-in ballots and then return the ballots.
In the voter records, when they vote in person, their mail-in ballot envelope and the ballot inside it are cancelled (spoiled), and their in-person vote is recorded.
My theory was that all the illegal cancelled ballots were for Biden, which made it easy for even a single person, whoever was opening and spoiling ballots, to replace legitimate Trump ballots with cancelled Biden ballots. In the data, 98% of mail-in votes went to Biden. Recounting the ballots cast wouldn’t do shit. BUT if you could gets hands on the spoiled mailed-in ballots, you’d see a ton of Trump ballots.
Fulton County admit not signing Tabulator tapes.
One of the replies mentions the book Stolen Elections I will get into that mess next week.
Voting machine traffic going overseas. Venezuela??? Or Europe.
Danno_Lion has a whole bunch of clips in that twitter thread. I hope they show.
Finally an article. It mentions Garland Favorito who has appeared on Why We Vote with CannCon (Brian Lupo who writes for Gateway Pundit) and Ashe in Colorado.
After five years, people are starting to learn the truth about Georgia’s 2020 election.
few days ago, the Federalist reported that Fulton County, Georgia, had over 300,000 illegal early-vote ballots during the 2020 election. The votes were illegal because they were unsupported by poll worker signatures (contrary to Georgia law). In other words, the vote totals were miraculously born without a mother or father.
Independent analysts have known of this evidence for years. Indeed, a reference to the phony 2020 votes is included on page 108 of my book (Debunked?), which was published three years ago:
“All but two of the early vote tabulator closing tapes for 350,000 votes were unsigned. Thus, there was no chain of custody for those files.”
I had obtained that information from VoterGA, a nonprofit organization specializing in Georgia elections.
Despite strong evidence, this claim of fraud (and many other claims) was completely ignored by the legacy media until Fulton made a strategic blunder: It finally admitted that it doesn’t have any tabulator signatures supporting 315,000 early votes. Before that, the legacy media could simply dismiss the claim as a conspiracy theory. After the confession, however, concealment became more difficult. Knowledge of Fulton’s cheating began leaking out to a wider audience…

And now it’s time for Wolf Moon’s Snow Moon Review of the new film MELANIA.
In order to get this out quickly, but fairly completely, I’m basically doing it as lists of bullet points. Yeah, that’s not very artistic, but I don’t want these points to drown in a bunch of evasive prose. I want people to know what I observed, what I think, and what to watch for.
I will start off with a list of non-spoilers. You can decide after THAT, if you want to read the spoilers. If you don’t want to read them, then you can just skip over the rest. I don’t have a spoiler tool for the text of this article, sadly.
Non-Spoilers
The Performance
At least in our area, the film is doing well.
This is the most packed movie I have been to, in a long time.
We had to settle for front row seats, because pretty much everything else was taken, several hours before the showing. Thankfully, we were not in a front corner. Reclining seats help.
Checking online for tickets may be a good idea.
There were no protests, hecklers, or interruptions.
There were classy laughs in appropriate places.
There were tears in appropriate places. Grab extra napkins if you don’t have tissues.
There were silent claps, raised hands, and thumbs up throughout the film.
There was significant applause which waited respectfully until the end.
My Opinions
I am glad I saw this movie in a theater.
I may get the DVD so that I can freeze-frame it to study details.
I know why Trump already saw it twice, and will likely watch it more times.
I believe this movie is historically important.
The movie will be cited by historians for many reasons, including things that it reveals.
The importance is not solely documentary – it is more than a documentary.
The movie is quite entertaining, but its significance exceeds its entertainment value.
Melania’s historical importance as a FLOTUS is evident and proven by the end of the movie, yet no effort is expended to make that point – it makes itself.
Anybody who is culturally or vocationally interested in fashion, beauty, entertainment, history, government, etc., needs to see this movie, even if they DESPISE Trump.
The movie is a tribute to every person who has ever worked in arts, beauty, entertainment, politics, culture, government service, the military, and many other featured vocations.
Cthulhu’s theory that Melania or Barron might be Q is not, IMO, proven by the film, but OTOH, this film absolutely destroys any assertions that Melania is not profoundly capable, very influential on Trump, and herself a focus of influence.
Trump’s great respect for Melania, and vice versa, is extremely evident.
Trump’s sense of humor, his love of “regular folks”, and his poise and savvy are on display.
Many things that happened during that period of time are explained by this movie.
I will be citing details from this movie, in a month or two, but I’d like to wait for people who want to see it, to have that opportunity first.
I recommend watching Melania – if not now, then once it appears on the small screen.
If you watch it in a theater, you will understand how Melania herself set the tone for the audience response.
OK – if you want to skip the spoilers, then take off now! Head down to the comments! Or watch the trailer, which contains a few of the spoiler items, without full context.
W
Spoilers
Yes, Melania not only WEARS “that dress” – it’s the star of the show! I have to admit that I like it, but maybe that’s just me. It really shows off her figure in a flattering way.
The stylized “R” on the front is actually pretty cool, IMO. RRRub it in, why don’t we?
Melania’s designer is a great guy, and it’s a lot of fun to watch her interact with him.
Trump is hilarious and interjects “wisely” but “wise guy” in some serious situations. He knows how to ease the tension, which is interesting.
Trump NEVER steals the show. His respect for his wife is incredible. It’s very clear that he’s proud of her, and of this movie.
IMO Melania was part of the reason they moved the Inauguration indoors. She was very concerned about security during the parade. This woman is extremely smart. Was God listening to her prayers when He sent the Inauguration plans into the deep freeze?
Speaking of prayers, the church scene in NYC is awesome.
Melania has a network of First Ladies around the world who she Face-Times with or meets in person. I want to study that part more closely.
The stats on foster kids going to college are abysmal. Yeah. WOW. She has a point.
Brigitte Macron sure looks like a woman – at least as much as Candace Owens does. Glass houses?
Trump values Melania’s input to the point of making one of the most important changes in his Inauguration speech, because she suggests it right there as he practices.
One of Trump’s executive orders is due to input from Melania. Very impressive, very appropriate. She’s a subject matter expert. Again, it’s tied to her network.
Melania seems unbothered by the fact that Trump doesn’t always listen to her advice.
Melania’s maturity is very evident, and just off the charts.
Melania’s favorite musicians include Michael Jackson – she knows the words to his songs!
The inside of Trump Force One is extremely cool and luxurious.
The sound track of the movie includes some big hits, which are used in a smart and cunning fashion.
Melania’s most admired First Ladies (given near the end) are an interesting selection – especially considering who is NOT there.
Melania’s parents are fascinating – especially her mother who is the “Rebecca” of the movie.
Melania’s mom taught her tailoring, and the tailors love her for her knowledge of their craft, plus for being a professional model.
Melania does some modeling on camera.
Melania’s staffers are scary smart women. She hires two more of them, whose interviews are part of the filming process.
Vivek shows up all over the place, without speaking. It’s clear that Trump, Melania, or both, like him.
Elon, Bezos, Tim Cook, many others. It’s fun.
A lot of interesting people show up at the Inauguration functions.
I had forgotten that Kamala showed up in a designer MAO JACKET. Yeah. Worth seeing again, just to realize who she is.
Melania does a dance or two. Watch for them!
Trump ALWAYS says thanks to people after a photo shoot. What a MENSCH. Talk about good atomic habits!
I’m sure the Secret Service approved every frame. Watch for artistic blurring and motion of the camera at certain points where they wanted things a bit fuzzy.
Melania’s pride in Barron is repeatedly evident.
Limiting the amount of footage from the “indoor parade” (a rally, basically) that my wife and I attended was artistically smart, even though I would have loved to have seen more. I am happy that enough was included to honor all of us who waited in the cold and dark to be there!
Joe Biden looks happy in the footage. He also looks like he should be in a nursing home, but he looks happy. Trump interacts with him quite well. Watch for it.
Final thoughts – the poise, sophistication, and intelligence of a proud immigrant who loves America and her husband – fully on display. Like I said, this is a great and significant film. I’m glad I saw it.
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

This video is a great tribute to one of the best “back-up bands” and “warm up acts” of its day, with what was realistically their only true big hit. Nonetheless, I remember when this song caught fire back then – good times! It got played on many a juke box – for years.

NED = National Endowment for Democracy. “The National Endowment for Democracy is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions.” So WHY is it taking MY TAX MONEY?
How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s… Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-that-be much embarrassment.
Something had to be done. What was done was not to stop doing these awful things. Of course not. What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name – The National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities…
Thus it was that in 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was set up to “support democratic institutions throughout the world through private, nongovernmental efforts”. Notice the “nongovernmental” – part of the image, part of the myth. In actuality, virtually every penny of its funding comes from the federal government, as is clearly indicated in the financial statement in each issue of its annual report… [Well that answers why Tax Money for funding NED was just approved again. — GC]
In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.
The Endowment has four principal initial recipients of funds: the International Republican Institute; the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs; an affiliate of the AFL-CIO (such as the American Center for International Labor Solidarity); and an affiliate of the Chamber of Commerce (such as the Center for International Private Enterprise). These institutions then disburse funds to other institutions in the US and all over the world, which then often disburse funds to yet other organizations.
In a multitude of ways, NED meddles in the internal affairs of numerous foreign countries by supplying funds, technical know-how, training, educational materials, computers, faxes, copiers, automobiles, and so on, to selected political groups, civic organizations, labor unions, dissident movements, student groups, book publishers, newspapers, other media, etc. NED typically refers to the media it supports as “independent” despite the fact that these media are on the US payroll…
The NED, like the CIA before it, calls what it does supporting democracy. The governments and movements whom the NED targets call it destabilization.
…In 2006, Kremlin denounced the proliferation of foreign associations in Russia, some of which would have participated in a secret plan, orchestrated by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), to destabilise the country. To prevent a “colour revolution”, Vladislav Surkov drew up strict regulation over these non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In the West, this administrative framework was described as a “fresh assault on freedom of association by Putin the “Dictator” and his adviser”.
This policy has been followed by other States who in their turn, have been labelled by the international press as “dictators”.
The US government guarantees that it is working towards “promoting democracy all over the world”. It claims that the US Congress can subsidize NED and that NED can, in turn and wholly independently, help directly or indirectly, associations, political parties or trade unions, working in this sense anywhere in the world. The NGOs being, as their name suggests, “non-governmental” can take political initiatives that ambassadors could not assume without violating the sovereignty of the States that receive them. The crux of the matter lies here: NED and the network of NGOs that it finances: are they initiatives of civil society unjustly repressed by the Kremlin or covers of the US Secret Services caught red-handed in interference?
In order to respond to this question, we are going to return to the origins and function of NED…
Looks like Andy Biggs agrees with Russia. I wonder how much of the funding of the Anti-Ice protests can be traced back to NED?
81 Republicans just voted to fund NED. So did every single Democrat. If Republicans voted in block like Democrats, NED would be defunded now. But the blocker, as I've said so many times, is not Democrats. If it was, all these things could be fixed. It's the Blob side of the GOP. https://t.co/QWnAbRon2fpic.twitter.com/udxf0cNYKd
One thing I learned living in Uruguay in the 1980s — after the fall of the CIA-backed military dictatorship — is that the agency likes small countries where it can operate through a local tight-knit familial network. Torture and clandestine activities, in the right trusted hands, are “as American as apple pie”...
The CIA carries out clandestine activities overseas to cause regime changes — this is well known. What’s also apparent is that USAID is effectively a front for the CIA — a channel through which to fund various “non-profits” at home as well as overseas and to use those to steer policy and affect change. USAID stands for United States of America International Development. It is not “aid”.
Trawling through Datarepublican.com , you can look up names of New Hampshire non-profits and their directors and find out exactly how they link to USAID. Thus I looked up the NHCADSV, Granite Children’s Alliance (Children’s advocacy Centers) and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation — all funded in part by USAID and all tied to other non-profits funded in part by USAID.
These are also tied to news control organizations such as Internews which is also a recipient of USAID money as is Politico which promoted Amanda Grady Sexton of NHCADSV in 2016….
So, not only is USAID a slush fund for the CIA & dems, so is NED. This gives you an idea of what POTUS Trump is up against. However POTUS has help, what Q and Flynn call the ‘Digital Army.’

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

After thinking it over last night, here’s how I would summarize it: These seven NGOs (eight if you count the off-the-chart Solidarity Center) together function as an “off-the-books” shadow U.S. government.
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created to unify the U.S. against communism. [Colonel Towner suggests that the ‘communism’ label is used to make the overthrow of a government, that will not cooperate with the transnational corporations rape of their country, palatable to the American public. — GC] Its four core organizations reflect a neat ideological symmetry of America’s two-party system:
➜CIPE pushes free-market policies, Solidarity Center represents labor and unions. [Centre for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), managed by the US Chamber of Commerce; –GC]
➜IRI serves Republican interests,[International Republican Institute (IRI), run by the Republican Party; — GC] and NDI aligns with the Democrats. [National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), run by the Democratic Party. — GC]
CEPPS [Center for International Media Assistance — GC] is another umbrella group that includes IRI and NDI but also brings in IFES [International Foundation for Election Systems — GC] under the guise of fortifying election integrity.
And to make sure the narrative sticks, Internews Network spreads these viewpoints through global media.
Most of these NGOs were born during the Reagan years. While not all USAID and State Department funding flows through them, they control the purse strings for much of America’s global financial influence.
DEI initiatives created a system of unaccountability and dependency, which ended up injecting more money into them and further entrenches their power.
They see any challenge to their authority as a threat to democracy itself. But their greatest enemy is still the same one they’ve had since the Cold War—Russia. They’ve never lost the “Cold War” boomer mindset.
In their minds, they’re the superheroes keeping America from crumbling. And that entitles them to their travel perks, cushy post-election gigs, and all the other benefits that come with running an unacknowledged empire.
@AsheinAmerica and I have been going deep on searches & charts through the lens of elections.
Every search of the numerous election related NGOs all traced back to what we called “the motherships.”
Originally I thought the mothership orgs were the orgs controlling the “vertical” of elections.
That led me to posit there must be other mothership clusters that controlled different verticals like food, or energy.
We tested the verticals theory and afawct no. There aren’t other mothership clusters for other verticals.
All the stolen taxpayer money pumps through the same mothership cluster, and there is a splintering toward the end of the funding chains / loops as the orgs get smaller & more specialized.
It makes sense from a management pov. It would get very difficult to manage if there were too many mothership clusters.
Where this gets interesting from the election pov is in the smaller orgs that are indirectly funded. Orgs on both sides of US elections are funded.
It’s counterintuitive. Why would funding go toward adversaries?
My theory is to guarantee full control of US elections, the smart move is to own both sides.
It’s like big businesses hedging their bets in politics. Often times they contribute to both parties.
I believe there’s more to this election control / NGO issue. My next step is to start overlaying “the people” factor. That will likely give us a clear picture of who’s driving this bus.
Thank you DR for your work!
This is very important if you are trying to build a RICO case. If you follow the threads of various problems to the top you keep hitting the same organizations. It is like the same Mafia organization controls gambling, prostitution, extortion and bribery. Colonel Towner calls it the Criminal Syndicate. I call it the Cabal.

B. Federal Grants and the Anti-Lobbying Laws
•31 U.S.C. § 1352 prohibits federal grant recipients from using taxpayer money to influence legislation or elections.
•Legal issue: If these NGOs receive hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds, are they improperly engaging in political lobbying, narrative control, or election influence—either domestically or abroad
….
While researching the numerous far left wing NGOs that are working to destroy America, it's clear that it's not only taxpayer money funding them but it's also the big global financial institutions' multi-billion dollar "charitable" foundations.
Gee, don’t you know the source of their [NGOs] contributions is “restricted” information. They don’t want to be exposed. This is from their tax return:

🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”
The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.
THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”
The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.
Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”
Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.
This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a “threat to democracy.” To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.
Check out this interactive visualization and analysis tool I’m developing to explore USAID data more systematically—with some AI muscle under the hood! It’s still a work in progress, but I’m excited about how it’s shaping up.
The "Democracy" Censorship Predicate: A Quick Primer
– After 2016, the national security state, the foreign policy establishment, & the gov't-funded NGO-plex orgs redefined the word "democracy": it no longer meant a consensus of individuals, it meant a consensus of institutions pic.twitter.com/5gdxBqKZOR
$700MM moved in two years, a burn rate of rough $1MM, every day, for around 730 days. We’re talking about an industrial pipeline of cash. There are more than a problems here, but let’s go through a couple:
1. Physical cash is not infinite at the branch level. It’s ordered, tracked, and replenished through a Federal Reserve district system that is designed to notice abnormal demand.
Now put that into Minnesota. Not New York. Not California. Not Texas.
Minnesota has a finite banking footprint, finite vault cash, finite armored-car routing, finite Fed cash-office capacity relative to the national hubs. So if MN alone was sourcing anything close to $1MM a day in high denominations for two straight years, you’d see strain. You’d see persistent, repeat demand, unusual denomination ordering, recurring cash logistics. You’d see it because the system has to move the paper from somewhere. And the Fed doesn’t “guess” about that. They account for it. That kind of sustained pull would stick out to the people whose entire job is watching demand, ordering patterns, and abnormal flows.
2nd Problem:
Two states wouldn’t fix his issue. OH + MN still leaves the same daily requirement. You still need a million dollars a day, still need continuity, still need reliability. You still need enough branches, enough institutions, enough cash order capacity, enough distance between the transactions so the pattern isn’t screaming from the dashboard. If you try to push that volume through only OH & MN, you’d concentrate the signal, compress the footprint, and create repetition.
Repetition is how you’d get caught, not on day one, but at some point within that 2 year period, you are getting nailed. When a pattern forms, multiple layers of oversight can see it. Bank compliance teams see it, BSA/AML monitoring systems see it, Federal cash distribution oversight sees it.
Airports… Inter state agencies.
You get the point.
And that leads us to our 3rd problem:
If the story is “they declared it at the airport,” that does not make it invisible.
Declarations create paper trails. So if the cash is being sourced, consolidated, and exported on a drumbeat for two years, the only way it stays operational is by spreading the sourcing footprint wide enough that no single district, no single metro, no single cluster of branches is carrying an abnormal share of the load. That means our “two-state” theory is implausible if not impossible. And it doesn’t hold on how many different tripwires would start chirping once that demand becomes consistent.
So where does that place us in SomaliFraud right now?
It places us in a multi-state network—AT LEAST—5 states. More plausibly 5-8.
Why?
Because 5-8 states lets you dilute the daily pull into smaller, more “normal-looking” slices. It lets you rotate institutions and geographies, avoid hammering one Federal Reserve district with a sustained, abnormal appetite for high-denomination currency, and avoid creating a single obvious hotspot. It also fits the only thing that matters in a long-running operation. Continuity.
A scheme that runs two years can’t depend on one state’s vault cash and one district’s tolerance.
It needs redundancy.
It needs alternate routes.
It needs multiple hubs.
Essentially, is mandatory for a large enough footprint that the volume becomes background noise instead of a siren. A five-to-eight-state network is the only mathematically feasible option. And that’s exactly why our lens is widening.
More soon. 🇺🇸

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

If you’ve ever wondered why neutrons are themselves unstable, there’s another complication before we get there. We can’t even figure out what’s happening to them, because we measure different answers for how long they last, depending on the experiment, and nobody can figure out why.
So are neutrons “adjacent” to dark matter? Or are they just slipping out to party somewhere else?
