Market Report 9-13-2026: All About the Benjamins

With the ECB hiking rates this week we’ve seen a big move by capital markets, especially on Friday, the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, where bond markets globally sold off more than 10 bps.

To my conspiratorial mind this was a warning shot to the Fed, the US, the Trump Administration and the gods themselves, that Davos and their London sycophants are not going down without the fight of our lives.

The reality is that Lagarde raised to protect euro-bond/JGB carry spreads and to punish Germans for voting populist. Meanwhile, the UK is looking at a breakup, to ensure that there is no country left, freeing the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish to rejoin the EU and finally betray BREXIT completely.

Christine Lagarde hiked into an energy supply shock because of Keynesian dogma, or so the story goes. It was a policy mistake of epic proportions. And in response, the bond market sell off globally was intended to force Kevin Warsh at the Fed to make the same policy mistake.

CPI, employment, labor, and producer price data clearly do not warrant a rate hike from the Fed. Lagarde sparked a dollar liquidity spasm into the weekend with this and the Financial press tried to sell it as a statement by bond vigilantes that the Fed must hike.

Nonsense. The MOVE index sits at 82.2 after that. Break-even rates are still below 2%

Oil prices are elevated on future supply refilling but that is clearly transitory.

The real story continues to be in the those aforementioned carry spreads, which Trump pushes Canada into a war which will not end well for them…


When Reading the tweets from the Debriefing (Below) the word FinCEN caught my eye because of this passage from one of my older articles, KMAG DAILY THREAD 20260225 & COLUMBIA

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, [October 24, 2025] 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.

🤔TIMELINES, PATTERNS & THE DEBRIEF

I’m not a lawyer. I’m not an intelligence officer. I’m not a government official. I’m a guy who works in construction who has spent six years reading primary sources, tracking enforcement actions, and building a workbook that now contains more than six hundred and thirty documented events across five countries and more than forty jurisdictions.

I’m not going to ask you to believe me. I’m going to ask you to look at what the government itself has said, in its own documents, on its own letterhead, and decide for yourself whether what you’re watching on the news makes more sense once you’ve seen the blueprint underneath it.

And at the end, I’m going to show you the evidence that cuts against me. Because if I only show you the parts that fit, I’m not an analyst. I’m a salesman.

Here is the case.

EXHIBIT A They built the machine.

After September 11, 2001, the United States government constructed a financial surveillance and enforcement architecture unlike anything in human history. This is not disputed. The agencies exist. The laws were passed. The executive orders are published.

They created the legal authority to trace every dollar moving through the global banking system. Section 314 of the PATRIOT Act gave them the ability to query every financial institution in America about any person, simultaneously. They created the

ability to map networks. Treasury’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis established December 2003 describes its own analysts as using all-source intelligence to, and I’m quoting their own press releases, “map illicit financial networks.” They created the

ability to cut anyone off. Section 311 gives them the power to designate any foreign financial institution as a money laundering concern and sever its access to the U.S. dollar.

They tested it on small banks in Myanmar in 2003.

They tested it on Banco Delta Asia in 2005.

By 2007, the weapon was battle-tested.

They created the ability to freeze assets without warning. The PATRIOT Act amendment to IEEPA allows blocking pending investigation. Freeze first, notify later. Every OFAC action since 2001 traces to this authority. And they connected all of it together.

In September 2004, FinCEN signed a formal memorandum of understanding with every major federal banking regulator the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OCC, OTS, NCUA. The MOU established a standing, bidirectional information pipeline. Law enforcement intelligence could flow to banking supervisors. Examination data could flow back.

The MOU specifically contemplated financial crime issues with and these are the document’s exact words “national systemic impact on the banking industry.”

By 2006, FinCEN was connected to the SEC.

By 2007, OFAC compliance was embedded inside Federal Reserve safety-and-soundness examinations.

By July 2008, the Fed and SEC signed a direct information-sharing agreement covering mortgage markets, credit derivatives, securitization, and counterparty relationships. Eighteen agencies.

Created or reorganized between 2001 and 2008. Covering terrorism, finance, borders, intelligence, military command, WMD, cyber, and cargo.

All built around the same operational concept: find the network, map the network, track the network, isolate the network, dismantle the network.

I didn’t write those documents. They did. And they published them. The machine exists. That is not a theory.

EXHIBIT B The authorities that matter never get turned off.

Let me be precise here, because precision is the whole point. Emergency authorities under IEEPA do get terminated. Zimbabwe’s was ended in March 2024. Côte d’Ivoire’s in September 2016. Liberia’s in November 2015.

Of seventy-seven national emergencies declared under IEEPA since 1977, forty-six are still running as of last year. Thirty-one were shut down. So the authorities are not permanent. Somebody decides.

Now look at which ones nobody ever decides to end.

Narcotics trafficking declared 1995. Still active.

Terrorism declared 2001. Still active. Transnational criminal organizations declared 2011. Still active.

Malicious cyber activity declared 2015. Still active.

Serious human rights abuse and corruption declared December 20, 2017. Renewed every single year since, by two administrations that agreed on nothing else.

Election interference declared 2018. Still active.

Cartels renewed July 16, 2026, eight weeks ago.

Zimbabwe gets released. The network authorities never do. That’s not a coincidence of paperwork. That’s a choice, made annually, in writing, published in the Federal Register, by presidents of both parties who were actively trying to erase each other’s legacies on everything else.

The government currently holds simultaneous emergency authority over every category of threat this workbook tracks. All at once. Right now.

And the machine that uses those authorities FinCEN, OFAC, the entire post-9/11 financial warfare stack has been running continuously for twenty-five years.

EXHIBIT C They let the network operate.

This is the part people struggle with.

Why didn’t they stop it sooner? Because that’s not how intelligence operations work. And we know this because the government has publicly admitted to doing exactly this repeatedly.

ANOM. The FBI secretly built and ran an encrypted phone platform. They let criminals adopt it. For three years, drug traffickers, arms dealers, and money launderers used it thinking it was secure, while every message went straight to law enforcement. When they rolled it up: eight hundred arrests. Sixteen countries. One morning.

Hansa Market. Dutch police secretly seized a darknet marketplace. They didn’t announce it. They ran it for a month. When AlphaBay was publicly taken down, users flooded to Hansa straight into the trap. Thousands of identities harvested.

EncroChat. French and Dutch intelligence penetrated the encrypted phone network used by organized crime across Europe. Monitored it for months. Then rolled it up. Six thousand five hundred arrests.

The crypto enforcement record we track shows an average of eight point seven years between the crime and the prosecution. Not because prosecutors are slow. Because they were watching. Building the map. Letting the blockchain record every transaction. And then prosecuting when the map was complete.

This is the “let it ride” doctrine. You find the network. You don’t kick down the door. You let it operate. Every transaction is a receipt. Every connection reveals another name. Every day the network runs is another day of evidence building itself.

The criminals do the work for you. They think nobody is watching. So they get comfortable. They get sloppy. They bring in their cousins, their bankers, their lawyers. And every single connection goes into the map.

EXHIBIT D Then they activated. Everywhere.

In December 2017, Executive Order 13818 pointed the machine at a new target. Not just terrorists. Not just rogue states. The transnational criminal network class operating through legitimate institutions. Across borders. Across continents. Everywhere the network touches. What we have documented is not five countries acting alone.

It is five sovereign powers the United States, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and India who are geopolitical adversaries on nearly every other issue, conducting parallel enforcement operations against the same network class, on overlapping timelines, without opposing each other’s enforcement actions. That is the spine.

But the spine is connected to a body.

Forty-plus jurisdictions are participating in the same enforcement wave. Not because one country told them to. Because the network class operates in all of them, and the enforcement architecture reaches all of them.

INTERPOL’s Operation First Light, this year five thousand eight hundred and eleven arrests, two hundred and ninety-three million dollars intercepted, ninety-seven nations, in one operation running January through April.

And here is the detail nobody reports. INTERPOL has run First Light since 2014. It is funded by China’s Ministry of Public Security. With support from ASEANAPOL, the Gulf Cooperation Council police organization, and Europol.

Read that again. A Chinese-funded, INTERPOL-coordinated operation producing arrests in ninety-seven countries including the United States. Beijing pays for it. Brussels supports it. Riyadh participates. Washington participates.

You are told these countries are on the brink of war with each other. They are co-funding the same police operation.

The extended cooperation arc documented in our workbook three hundred and forty agencies, sixty-five countries, four point four billion dollars in lifetime frozen assets.

And here’s the cleanest single sequence in the entire workbook. One organization Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Eleven separate enforcement actions. Nine different sovereign governments. Seven agencies. Six distinct legal instruments. Eighteen months. Nobody announced a joint task force. Nine sovereigns hit the same organization anyway.

The European Union and United Kingdom issuing joint sanctions against thirty-three Russian FSB cyber targets in a single coordinated action. The United States and United Kingdom publishing joint enforcement guidance for the first time. The United States and Saudi Arabia jointly sanctioning Hezbollah financial networks. Canada and the United States dismantling Punjab-based transnational crime syndicates together. Australia sentencing Sam Gor network leaders to fifteen years.

Twenty-plus bilateral deals signed since April 2025 not trade deals. Enrollment deals. Each one contains enforcement cooperation provisions, anti-money-laundering requirements, intelligence-sharing architecture. Jordan. Vietnam. South Korea. Japan. The UAE. Each country that signs isn’t just making a trade agreement. It’s joining the enforcement infrastructure.

This is not five countries having a coincidence.

The phrase I use is coordinated capacity, not central command. Nobody is running a war room telling forty countries what to do on Tuesday. What is happening is that forty-plus countries independently possess the same enforcement tools, face the same network class embedded in their own institutions, and are activating against that network on timelines that converge because the network itself is global, and the cleanup has to be global to work.

You cannot clean a house by sweeping one room if the dirt tracks through every hallway. You sweep every room. At the same time. Or the dirt just moves.

In the last eighteen months alone:

Six Latin American criminal organizations designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations with the first financial network sanctions hitting within thirty-five days of designation. A Mexican cartel co-founder sentenced to life with a fifteen billion dollar forfeiture the largest in American history. A trade statute from 1930 used for the first time in ninety-six years with the required commission re-stacked three days before the weapon was fired. Spain’s largest hotel chain pulling thirty-four properties out of Cuba in a single week because sanctions made it impossible to operate. Crypto exchanges having their cloud servers seized.

China running purges through six separate institutional domains the energy sector, the securities regulator, the defense establishment, the Politburo itself, a transnational laundering conglomerate, and finally the national banking regulator. Saudi Arabia arresting two hundred and ninety government officials in two months. India raiding money laundering operations across multiple states. Russia purging its own oligarchs.

And in the spring of 2023 five financial institutions failed in eight weeks. Silvergate. Silicon Valley Bank. Signature. Credit Suisse. First Republic. Every one of them a bridge between the old rails and the new ones. Some paid fines and rebuilt their compliance function and survived. Some didn’t survive. That is not a banking crisis. That is a sorting mechanism.

Every action follows the same construction schedule. Build the legal tool. Staff the institution. Fire the weapon. In that order. Every time.

EXHIBIT E The system was designed to survive its own disruption.

The United States maintains an active, continuously funded, heavily classified continuity of government architecture. Raven Rock Mountain Complex is a strategic battle-command platform their words, not mine undergoing forty-two million dollars in classified modernization right now. The FY2027 budget request for Raven Rock continuity equipment is explicitly classified.

The Emergency Federal Register maintained at a continuity facility in West Virginia ensures the government can continue publishing legally effective orders even if Washington is destroyed. Presidential Emergency Action Documents pre-drafted classified executive orders sitting ready to sign have existed since the Cold War. As of 2017, there were reportedly fifty-six in effect. None has ever been declassified.

And on June 23, 2026 eleven weeks ago the White House published the America-First Resilience Strategy. It calls for distributed command and control across regions of the United States, secure networked communications, and continuity of the economy during disruption by preserving payments, liquidity, and trusted information flows.

Distributed command. Financial continuity. Payments. Liquidity. On the same page. From the White House.

EXHIBIT F The receipts arrive on a schedule.

Every OFAC sanctions notice in the Federal Register contains two dates. The date the action was issued and the date it was published. They are never the same. The action always comes first.

The publication comes days or weeks later. This is printed on every notice. In plain English. The government is telling you on its own letterhead that the enforcement happened before you read about it.

The banks were already notified. The assets were already frozen. The target was already cut off. By the time the Federal Register publishes the notice, the operation is complete. The publication is the government telling the public what it already did.

Everything you read in the news is the last chapter of a story that started years ago.

EXHIBIT G Now here’s what cuts against me.

I told you I’d show you this part.

In the last several weeks, four things happened that my framework did not predict and cannot easily absorb.

One. The beneficial ownership reporting requirement the rule that was going to force every American shell company to disclose who actually owns it was permanently eliminated for domestic companies. That was the single most important transparency rail in the entire architecture. It’s gone. Foreign-owned entities still have to report. American ones don’t.

Two. Enforcement of Russian sanctions evasion went quiet for seventeen months, then resumed. Seventeen months.

Three. Ahead of a summit in Alaska, sanctions were suspended by emergency authority. Not lapsed. Suspended. Deliberately.

Four. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s protective injunction was vacated. The agency that supervises the consumer end of the financial system is being dismantled. [Elizabeth Warren Built the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — GC]


All four of those happened while the same Treasury Department levied a record anti-money-laundering penalty against UBS, designated Iranian exchanges, and the Justice Department stood up a five-hundred-prosecutor fraud division.

Same government. Same Treasury. Same Secretary. Same week.

There are two honest ways to read that, and I cannot falsify either one. The first reading is that this is a sorting mechanism operating by design. Enforcement expands against the network while supervision of ordinary business contracts. Front door opens, back door closes. Deliberate.

The second reading is simpler. It’s one administration with contradictory policies, doing two incompatible things at once because different people are running different pieces.

I don’t know which is true. Neither does anybody else who’s honest about it. Both survive the evidence.

And Russia is the hardest case in the whole workbook. Russia purges its own oligarchs and receives sanctions accommodation in the same quarter. It is not cleanly activated. It is not cleanly accommodated. It is both, simultaneously, and I have watched the same waiver lapse and reissue twice now on a pattern I can document but cannot explain.

Nine years of tracking. Zero predictions falsified. And I want to be very direct with you about that number.

Zero falsifications is not a victory. It’s a warning. A framework that never gets anything wrong is usually a framework that isn’t specific enough to be wrong. That’s why I write down, in advance, with hard dates, exactly what would prove me wrong. And that’s why I’m reading you the four counter-signals instead of the four confirmations I could have picked instead.

THE QUESTION I’M ASKING YOU TO ANSWER

I’m not asking you to believe that a secret government is running the world from a bunker. I’m not asking you to believe in any conspiracy. I’m asking you to look at what the government itself has documented, published, and funded and ask yourself one question:

Does what you’re watching on the news make more sense now?

Does the timing make more sense? Does the sequencing make more sense? Does a Chinese-funded INTERPOL operation arresting people in ninety-seven countries make more sense? Does nine sovereigns hitting the same cartel in eighteen months make more sense? Does the pattern build the tool, staff the institution, fire the weapon, every single time make more sense?

The machine was built after 9/11. The authorities that matter were stacked and never released. The intelligence was gathered for years while the networks operated. The map was drawn. The deals were made. The cooperators were turned. And then, starting in December 2017 and running every year since, the enforcement wave began.

Not in one country. In all of them.

Not against one target. Against the entire network class.

Not with one tool. With every legal authority accumulated over twenty-five years, stacked on top of each other, all active simultaneously, deployed through a system designed to survive anything.

Here’s what I will not tell you.

I will not tell you it’s finished. I will not tell you the good guys won. I will not tell you there’s a date on the calendar when the curtain comes down and everything is made right in a single morning.

That’s not the shape of this thing. This isn’t a flood. It’s an actuarial table. Slow. Distributed. Only legible in aggregate, and only in hindsight. Six hundred and thirty events don’t feel like anything on any given Tuesday. Stacked on one timeline across nine years and forty jurisdictions, they look like something being built.

And it is still being built. Some floors are going up. One of them just came down.

What you are watching right now, today, on your phone, in your newsfeed is not the investigation.

It’s the receipts.

They spent twenty-five years building a machine that can follow every dollar on earth, freeze any account, cut off any bank, designate any target, seize any asset, survive any disruption, and coordinate across more than forty nations.

And now they’re using it.

Whether they use all of it, on everyone, is the part I’m still watching. So should you.

I am the guy on the couch, and you have been debriefed.

TEXT:

Too many different systems keep moving in the same direction at the same time. The simple version is:

👉Cartel bosses get arrested while major financial/crypto cases hit in the same windows.

👉Authorities often watch networks for years before acting.

👉Old crimes are producing seizures 8–10+ years later.

👉The government stopped routinely selling seized Bitcoin, then later created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

👉Now some seized Bitcoin can become a government asset instead of just being sold off.

👉Money escape routes keep getting closed: mixers, exchanges, shadow banks, payment channels.

👉The financial system itself is becoming more transparent through new rails and reporting rules.

👉Different laws hit different parts of a network: the people, the money, the banks, the property, the facilitators.

👉They are not just arresting people; they are taking down infrastructure that lets networks rebuild.

👉DOJ, Treasury, FinCEN, OFAC, Europol, INTERPOL and foreign governments keep producing overlapping enforcement waves.

The easiest way to explain our whole argument on a show is:

“I’m not saying every event has one hidden commander. I’m saying the same pattern keeps repeating: get the data, map the network, close the money routes, arrest the people, seize the assets, then harden the system so they can’t rebuild.”

And our strongest question to a skeptic is: “If this is all random and unrelated, why do the arrests, seizures, financial restrictions and infrastructure changes keep landing in the same periods and pushing toward the same result?”

“Market Report 9-9-2026: Putting the Kids to Bed…
It’s after Labor Day, yes oil is $100/bbl, bond markets continue to fall, and equity markets are confused.
The Old World is changing right before our eyes and the guardians of that Old World are angry because well, it’s their world. The New World is coming.


In order to do that the status quo of global funding of the financial system has to change to reflect the needs and desires of this New World. That means more than just a complete remodeling of the kitchen, it means rewiring and replumbing the house itself.


The bond and currency markets are telling you who is winning this battle. But to see it you have to see the world the way they do, through the carry trades, the sovereign bond spreads, and the cost of maintaining them.
Central banks have the ability to create unlimited money, until someone takes away their credit card.


That is what is happening in Europe and the UK as I type this. The problem is they have subsidiaries all over the world and they have to be knocked out, flipped, or neutered before you can go for the source.


The key to this week is in the EUR/JPY cross and how it relates to the bond market yields you see on your screens.


The old financial system is a powder keg and Scott Bessent just lit the fuse.
As Tom Cruise would say, “Cue the music…” https://t.co/QiQzpbSYYq“

To understand what is going on, you have to know what the Carry Trade is.

What Is Carry Trade? Definition, Example & Risks Explained

A carry trade is any strategy where an investor borrows capital at a lower interest rate to invest in assets with potentially higher returns. It’s best known for its use in foreign exchange (forex or FX) markets, where traders borrow in a low-interest rate currency and invest in higher-yielding assets denominated in another currency.1 Traders can profit from the spread during stable markets, but a market shift can quickly erode their profits.

🚨 BREAKING: In a MASSIVE move, Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent has just GROUNDED Iranian airlines with devastating new sanctions 36 targets were just SEVRED.

Bessent is also launching a pressure campaign for banks to report procurement networks supporting Iran’s aviation industry 🔥

This man is on a CRUSADE against Iran…he’s not letting up! WE LOVE BESSENT 🇺🇸

“Sanctions on companies that continue to support Mahan Air. Let this be a warning to anyone doing business with Iran’s remaining airlines, all of which we sanctioned today: You are at risk of being cut off from the global financial system.”

27 airlines were specifically designated. It’s getting worse for them every single day.

They Can’t Win the United Kingdom; So, They’re Dismantling It (12 minutes)

Barbara Boyd: Today, the first ministers of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are meeting to plan the breakup of the United Kingdom. They claim they are seeking independence. If you know the crimes committed by the UK in recent history, you might be tempted to think this is a very good thing, but it’s not. It’s part of a secret plan for defeating the United States and Donald Trump in the November midterm elections by creating massive instability and turmoil worldwide through psy-war propaganda, economic manipulation, and proxy wars.

The plan also involves Canada joining the EU. Donald Trump is very aware of this goal and he is shooting back. So, the first question we’ll address is who is being dismantled here? Then we’ll show you more of their secret plan. We’ll end by showing you the Trump card President Trump holds.

Now, last week, the nationalist AFD shocked the EU by an overwhelming victory in provincial elections in Germany. And recent coverage says that the nationalist Maria La Pen is leading the race to replace Francis Emanuel Mcronone. In the UK, recent polls say the nationalist and pro-Brexit reform UK would win if Labor Prime Minister Andy Burnham calls a new election. This is mostly because of the UK’s open borders policy and its horrendous economy. But it’s also because Burnham and the Labor Party are openly betraying Brexit and seeking to rejoin the EU.

Here’s President Trump yesterday in Ireland criticizing the absurd EU arrangement where Scotland gets its oil from Norway at very high prices while leaving one of the world’s richest oil deposits in the North Sea completely untouched.

TRUMP: The capital of European oil was in Aberdine. Aberdine was an unbelievable capital and it could be again. But they said if they open up the North Sea, the UK is going to be rich. If they don’t open up the North Sea, the UK is bankrupt. Thank you everybody.

Barbara Boyd: It’s untouched because Scotland and the EU remain committed to the insane policy of net zero and to the City of London, which makes his money on speculating on oil and other commodities, not by producing them. Now, President Trump is only stating the stark reality. He was also stating what most people in England think, not what their overlords tell them about reality.

The reform poverty has long campaigned against the EU and Labor Party net zero energy policies. The Conservative Party agrees that these policies are bankrupting Britain, which has been in an economic crisis ever since 2008. Knowing that England is lost and its votes outweigh the other three countries of the UK, the EU and Labor Party are trying to change who will determine Europe’s future by moving the center of the empire to Brussels. England and Wales were solidly for leave in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Wales has now joined Scotland and North Ireland in wanting EU membership. Otherwise, the populations of Europe and England are anti-EU, anti-NET zero, and anti- Ukraine war. But England won’t matter if you move the votes that govern Europe’s northern flank into three separate capitals that will only answer to Brussels.

You don’t need to win England if England stops being the unit that decides.

Now, President Trump threw a political bomb at this process in Ireland over the weekend when he suggested that the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland unite again, producing joy in Irish nationalists.

Canada, Ukraine pledge 100-year partnership

But putting the three countries in the EU isn’t even the whole story here. What this is about only becomes clearer if you look at Mark Carney’s lunatic actions over the last week about Ukraine, the EU, and the United States…My friend Tom Lango put this image at the front of his newsletter this week. He’s talking about the 100-year partnership between Canada and Ukraine announced by Mark Carney and Vladimir Zuinski in Alberta on September 10th. It was an in your-face rejection of President Trump’s efforts to bring the Ukraine war to a peaceful end. The partnership agreement states that Ukraine’s path to membership in NATO is irreversible. It pledges to immediately turn Canada into a drone factory for war with Russia.

The Trump administration knows that the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine’s NATO membership is what started the Ukraine war. It is the redest of red lines for the Russians. President Trump rejects it because he knows this. Does Canada have the physical capacity to do what Carney says? In his joint press conference with Zillinski, here’s how Carney described Canada’s present production capabilities. He knows the whole thing is a very bad joke.

And now, as Canada undertakes our largest defense rearmament in 70 years, drones will be at the forefront of our mission to build Canada strong, Canada safe, Canada secure. Mr. President, I have to confess that our armed forces currently have but 2,000 drones in our infantry.

Thinking that Canada can somehow immediately become a massive drone factory from the start and without any United States support left me asking whether Silinski shared his stash with Carney during the visit.

That’s not all Carney is doing. On Thursday, he goes to Europe to explore an associate membership for Canada in the EU, according to the Wall Street Journal. Creating an enemy on the northern border is the clear intent. [ An OBVIOUS enemy, unlike the hidden enemy during the last 250 years -GC] The journal piece talks about Canada laying underwater cables to link Europe and Canada and jointly constructing data centers, cloud storage, and new satellite networks beyond the reach of American tech giants. Carney wants to lay the pipelines Canada needs to redirect gas normally pumped across the US border to his new European allies. As soon as the article was published, Canadians and others push back so hard that Carney now says he’s not fully giving up Canada sovereignty for EU membership, just parts of it.

Obviously, the EU in its present dilapidated and failing state is never going to replace the massive and growing US economy as a viable trade partner. But reality is not what we’re talking about here. All of these moves are moves directed at Donald Trump and the midterms. They might be called militarized fantasies and delusions. Carney’s industry minister, Mélanie Joly, admits it openly. Just listen to her.


[Mélanie Joly has a degree in law from Université de Montréal (2001) & a masters in Public Law from Oxford (UK) NO BUSINESS TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE! — GC ]

Interviewer: I guess what I’m driving at is it’s not a coincidence that you’ve picked some products that are major exports from some US states that will be critical in deciding the balance of power in Washington. Is that fair to say?

Mélanie Joly: We are putting pressure clearly on different states and different people. We don’t want to do that. We don’t want this trade war. We didn’t start it. Um we’ve been at the negotiation table until the very last minute. The prime minister had to make a call at 10:00 on Friday night to leave the negotiating table because of new demands at a time where he thought he had a deal. So this is serious. And so that is why of course we don’t want to do this but we have to do this because it’s a question of protecting jobs and our economy.

Barbara Boyd: The other part of this crazy joint EU Canada anti-US campaign is financial. The European Central Banks raised interest rates last week despite the fact that it’ll hurt their own failing economies. They did it to pressure the Fed to raise rates this week and stall the Trump economy’s momentum. These guys are also behind the run on the bond market despite the fact that there are no weaknesses in US treasuries. Treasury Secretary Bessent laid out the strength of our treasuries and the total lack of substance behind the propaganda about them in an interview with Steve Bannon’s War Room last week. He said it was a bunch of noise. Let’s hear him.

Treasury Secretary Bessent: It’s a bunch of noise and in my career I’ve made money ignoring the noise.

Barbara Boyd: But that noise is designed to create an artificial financial panic to be blamed on Trump.

Now, there’s every reason to believe that this destructive plot was cooked up back in May when Barack Obama, Senator Elise Slotkin, and a host of other prominent Democrats met with Carney to discuss how to stop Trump. And Trump is very aware that the campaign against him is being heavily run by the Democratic Party’s foreign masters. Take for example diesel which is at the center of the energy inflation right now. Twice this weekend Trump said he told Zelenskyy  to stop hitting Russia diesel refineries which are having a massive impact on world supply. Russia is second to the United States in supplying diesel to the world. Here is President Trump last night.

POTUS Trump: The problem I have with Ukraine and Russia is that you know a lot of the diesel comes, the diesel oil comes, and that’s the one where there’s a a big up, [it] comes from Russia and the Russia plants are being hit by Ukraine and I’ve asked President Zelenskyy  not to hit the diesel plants refineries.

Reporter: Is it potentially that Ukraine war could end

POTUS Trump: The diesel is being driven up by the fact that It’s [Diesel is] having a hard time coming out of Russia and that’s a case that hurts the world. We got to stop it [The war].

Barbara Boyd: So Ukraine’s bombs are being used to feed the Democrats quote affordability crisis claims against the president here. In the past few weeks, NATO has also become increasingly provocative in staging false flag security incidents throughout Europe and blaming them on Russia. The false claims include claims that Russia tried to drone attack President Zelenskyy ‘s plane and Boris Johnson’s train traveling through Poland. The reality is that precision proximity strikes near the plane and the train were warning shots from Russia. On the battlefield, Ukraine is losing the war. But President Putin said over the weekend that now the Europeans are contemplating sending European troops to Ukraine. If that happens, it will mean war with Europe. Putin underlined that. But as usual, President Trump has an ace up his sleeve that these idiots can’t even believe would be there.

That’s his relationship with President Xi and Modi, who together with the US and Japan constitute the most productive economies in the world. They are collaborating to prevent war, stabilize the financial system, and build the overwhelmingly productive physical economy, which will vanquish the weak and failing globalists. So when people say this election will determine the fate of the republic, and we’re in a war, they’re not exaggerating. The target in this war is the minds of the US population since the enemy lacks the physical means to really fight. It’s a war in which Tucker Carlson, the doom scrollers, and the financial speculators are the soldiers on the other side. And it’s a war we’re determined to win decisively.

In talking about scientific fraud, I wanted to provide as much information as possible in the hope that the overwhelming amount might encourage people to stop and think before blindly following the recommendations of a drug salesman aka doctor.

And then more information showed up so I am going to include that.

What I found significant is:


US scientists are significantly more likely to publish fake research than scientists from elsewhere, finds a trawl of officially withdrawn (retracted) studies.


British Medical Journal


Why the USA?

Because we were intentionally targeted. The Brits never gave up their desire to retake the USA.

Despite all the hype about slavery, if you look you can see the fine Italian hand of the Brits and French who were hoping to grab the USA after the ‘colonials’ had exhausted themselves fighting each other. When they were about to make their move the Czar of Russia warned he would attack on behalf of the Americans, thwarting their plans. My reference for that bit of info is long gone but there is this.

Abraham Lincoln and Russia’s Czar Alexander II formed an unusual, but crucial, wartime alliance.

…Russian and American interests quickly coalesced around the prevention of French and British interference in the Civil War. The British decision to recognize the belligerency of the Confederacy by declaring neutrality in May 1861 opened the possibility of recognition of the Confederate States of America as an independent nation. “England will take advantage of the first opportunity to recognize seceded states,” Stoeckl warned, “and France will follow her.”…

Czar Alexander-II

After the American Civil War you had the assassinations of Lincoln (April 14, 1865) and the Czar of Russia ( March 13, 1881) Both can be traced to British influence. In 1913 we had a covert overthrow of our government (Federal Reserve Act) and in 1917 the Russian Revolution facilitated by the same bankers. Meanwhile in the middle of all of this the Fabian Society was founded on 4 January 1884 in London. A decade later in 1895 the Fabian Society founded the London School of Economics which has been training world leaders ever since. John Dewey – “father” of progressive education was a member of the American Fabian Society. And helped establish it in 1895.

At that point the switch was made to a gradual destruction of the USA instead of a frontal assault.

Dumbing Down America by Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld

I am often asked to name those educators responsible for the change in primary reading instruction which has led to the decline of literacy in America. People ask this because by the time they understand the history of the reading problem and of the dumbing down process that has been going on in our public schools for the past forty years, they recognize that all of this is not the result of a series of accidents but of conscious, deliberate decisions made by our educational leaders.

After twenty-five years of research, I can state with complete confidence that the prime mover in all of this was none other than John Dewey who is usually characterized as the father of progressive education. Yet the change of the teaching of reading is probably Dewey’s greatest contribution to the tranformation of American education from an academically oriented process to a social one.

The progressives were a new breed of educator that came on the scene around the turn of the century. These rejected the religion of the Bible and placed their new faith in science, evolution and psychology. Indeed, men like G. Stanley Hall, James McKeen Cattell, Charles Judd, James Earl Russell traveled to Germany to study the new psychology under Prof. Wilhelm Wundt at the University of Leipzig. It was these men who later imposed the new psychology on American education and transformed it permanently from its academic function to one dedicated to behavioral change.

John Dewey got his education in the new psychology under G. Stanley Hall at John Hopkins University. In 1887, at the tender age of 28, Dewey felt that he knew enough about psychology to be able to write a textbook on the subject, entitled fittingly Psychology. In 1894, Dewey was appointed head of the department of philosophy, psychology and education at the University of Chicago which had been established two years earlier by a gift from John D. Rockefeller. In 1896, Dewey created his famous experimental Laboratory School where he could test the effects of the new psychology on real live children.

Dewey’s philosophy had evolved from Hegelian idealism to socialist materialism, and the purpose of the school was to show how education could be changed to produce little socialists and collectivists instead of little capitalists and individualists. It was expected that these little socialists, when they became voting adults, would dutifully change the American economic system into a socialist one.

In order to do so he analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found what he believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority. High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society


The rest of that article is even more damning. Our education system was deliberately poisoned by the Fabians.


Antonio Gramsci took over where John Dewey left off. (H/T to the Q-treeper that brought this to the tree.)

The Frankfurt School

In 1924, it was created as part of Frankfort University, the Institute for Social Research. One of its founders was Max Horkheimer and its director since 1930. They will also be part of this group thinkers such as Adorno, Marcuse and Erich Fromm (who will then distance himself from the school).

The Nazi persecution in 1934 resulted in the transfer of the Institute to Columbia University in New York (HorkheimerMarcuse and Fromm were of Jewish origin) and although some of its members would return to Frankfort at the end of the war, others, such as Marcuse, will choose to stay in the USA. In this second stage, it will be its directors Adorno and Habermas, who will be the main representative of the school from 1956.

The Institute for Social Research emerges in a clear Marxist line…

The Frankfurt School adopted an interdisciplinary persepective, adding approaches not only from philosophy but also from sociology, psychology, psychoanalysis, Protestant theology and criticism of culture and art. These are, therefore, studies of “social theory”. The works produced by the Frankfort school are known as “Critical Theory”: it is not a system of doctrines but a particular methodological conception.

Antonio Gramsci – The Most Dangerous Intellectual of the Twentieth Century.

Antonio Gramsci – The Most Dangerous Intellectual of the Twentieth Century. Not the most famous. Not the most read. The most dangerous and the most consequential – because he was the one who figured out why the revolution kept failing, and what to do instead. The man who invented the long march through the institutions. Everything that followed — the Frankfurt School, the Fabian Society’s operational model, the WEF formation pipeline, the captured university, the HR department enforcing approved speech — is downstream of what he wrote in a prison cell in Mussolini’s Italy, in code, between 1929 and 1935.

1. His central question: why hasn’t it happened? The working class was supposed to rise. The contradictions of capitalism were supposed to produce the revolution. They hadn’t – not in the West. Gramsci’s answer was precise and devastating: because the ruling class does not maintain power through force alone. It maintains power through cultural hegemony – the control of the ideas, values, and frameworks through which people understand the world. The worker who accepts that the existing order is simply how things are will not revolt, regardless of his material conditions. The revolution requires cultural change first.

2. The instrument was the long march through the institutions. Not the barricade. The school, the university, the media, the judiciary, the civil service, the cultural establishment – every institution through which a civilization transmits its values to the next generation. Capture these, fill them with people who share the counter-hegemonic project, and the cultural assumptions that maintain the existing order gradually dissolve. No barricades. No visible moment of rupture. Just the slow replacement of one cultural hegemony with another.

3. The educational capture was the masterpiece. Control the curriculum and you control the categories of thought available to the next generation. Not by telling them what to conclude – by shaping what questions they think to ask, what they consider obvious and what they consider unthinkable. The generation educated after the long march does not need to be told what to think. It thinks what it was formed to think – and experiences that thinking as its own…

And so we have the destruction of the independent thinking mind. Followed by utter crap science such as Global Warming and 72 genders. I kid you not

MedicineNet — How Many Genders Are There? All 72 Genders List “How many genders are there? Besides male and female, here is a list of all 72 other gender identities that a person may belong to. How can I help my child understand gender?” This is actually written by MDs!

From my point of view, I see this as when the government got into using OUR tax dollars to fund THEIR pet projects.

Manhattan Project Background Information 

Background Information: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) traces its origins to World War II and the Manhattan Project effort to build the first atomic bomb. As the direct descendent of the Manhattan Engineer District, the organization set up by the Army Corps of Engineers to develop and build the bomb, the Department continues to own and manage the Federal properties at most of the major Manhattan Project sites, including Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico.

In a national survey at the turn of the millennium, both journalists and the public ranked the dropping of the atomic bomb and the end of the Second World War as the top news stories of the twentieth century. The Manhattan Project is the story of some of the most renowned scientists of the century combining with industry, the military, and tens of thousands of ordinary Americans working at sites across the country to translate original scientific discoveries into an entirely new kind of weapon. When the existence of this nationwide, secret project was revealed to the American people following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, most were astounded to learn that such a far-flung, government-run, top-secret operation existed, with physical properties, payroll, and a labor force comparable to the automotive industry. At its peak, the project employed 130,000 workers and, by the end of the war, had spent $2.2 billion.

The legacy of the Manhattan Project is immense. The advent of nuclear weapons not only helped bring an end to the Second World War but ushered in the atomic age and determined how the next war, the Cold War, would be fought. In addition, the Manhattan Project became the organizational model behind the remarkable achievements of American “big science” during the second half of the twentieth century. Without the Manhattan Project, DOE, with its national laboratories — the jewels in the crown of the nation’s science establishment, would not exist as it does in its present form…

Did you catch that?

A Brief History of Science Funding | Columbia [Univ.] Magazine

(Remember the Frankfurt School moved to Columbia University.)

Universities have come to rely on federal funding to support scientific and medical research. How did we get here?…

Columbia history professor Alma Steingart ’06GS recently provided some answers. From her office in Fayerweather Hall, Steingart, who studies how mathematical thought and computer technology have influenced US electoral politics, explained that government science funding as we know it began in the mid-twentieth century. Before World War II, she said, research money at universities came primarily from donors and private foundations; but during the war, the US Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) began funding research aimed at gaining military advantage. The development of the atomic bomb, known as the Manhattan Project, in which Columbia physicists played a key role, was one major investment.

After the war, Vannevar Bush ’47HON, the former dean of MIT’s engineering school and the head of OSRD, called on the US to fund basic research in the physical and medical sciences in order to ensure American strength and progress. “There was a realization that there was no going back to the previous model,” said Steingart. “The debate was whether federal funds should be used for basic science or applied science. Many scientists felt that developing science around particular goals was limiting, and Bush successfully made the case that it was basic research that led to discoveries and applications that would help the country.” Bush’s advocacy led to the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1950.

Then, in 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite. “That was a critical moment,” said Steingart. Within a year, the NSF budget more than tripled, from $40 million to $134 million. Meanwhile, other government agencies, such as the Atomic Energy Commission and the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, noting that basic science was already being funded, began to direct money toward applied research.

“With the Cold War came the idea that you needed an army of engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and chemists in order to keep pace with the Soviet Union,” Steingart said. “Remember, the NSF doesn’t just fund research. It also funds postdoctoral fellowships and PhD fellowships. And so in the 1960s, the number of PhDs greatly expanded — which meant that universities expanded, and so did their expenditures.”

History of Federal Science Funding – AHA (American Historical Association)

About the Briefing

This handout was created for the AHA’s December 11, 2025, Congressional Briefing on the history of federal science funding. Panelists Melinda Baldwin (Univ. of Maryland), Arthur Daemmrich (Arizona State Univ.), and Bhaven Sampat (Johns Hopkins Univ.) discussed the history of the federal government’s approach toward science in public policy, and how the government has supported and funded scientific research and innovation over time.

1790–1900: Building Practical Science and National Capacity

1790 – Congress passes the first US patent act, encouraging invention and creating a new system of intellectual property.

1803 – Congress funds the Lewis & Clark expedition, which maps the West, identifies plant and animal species, and describes unique geologic formations.

1807 – The US Coast Survey becomes the first civilian scientific agency, supporting navigation and defense.

1843 – Congress funds Samuel Morse’s telegraph demonstration line through a $30,000 appropriation, helping launch US telecommunications.

1846 – Congress establishes the Smithsonian Institution as a public-private partnership. It quickly becomes a center for research and public science and later evolves into a museum complex.

1840s–90s – Scientific associations including the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the Geological Society of American (GSA) are founded, strengthening the nation’s scientific community… [Continues with a long list –GC]

Note during the early years it is CONGRESS funding specific projects. Now that duty is handed off to bureaucrats along with buckets of cash.

American Historical Association Congressional Briefing: History of Federal Science Funding (1 hour)

“Evidence-based medicine is actually so corrupt as to be useless or harmful,” Marcia Angell wrote in 2009. The statement was less a revelation than something many already knew, but it made waves because of its source. Angell, a medical insider, had spent two decades as the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Jason Fung is also a medical insider who has become wary of scientific research that purports to be “evidence based.” A well-known nephrologist and author, Fung often speaks about Type-2 diabetes reversal and the metabolic effects of intermittent fasting, but in this presentation from Dec. 15, 2018, he turns his focus toward the many ways the foundations of evidence-based medicine have become corrupted by financial conflicts of interest. The first conflicts of interest he highlights pertain to the corruption of doctors. Practicing physicians who accept gifts from Big Pharma are 225-335% more likely to prescribe drugs from the gift-giving company than those who do not, Fung explains.

The corruption of doctors in prestigious universities is even worse, he claims. “There’s a clear correlation: The more prestigious a doctor, the more money they’re getting from the pharmaceutical.” Anecdotally, he says, this means you may be better off seeking medical advice from a family physician than from a Harvard professor; the former probably just accepted a $10 pen from Big Pharma while the latter is on the take for $500,000. “It just is a terrible system,” he says. “Yet, these people are the people that are in the newspaper. They’re the ones that are teaching medical students, are the ones who are teaching the — the dietitians, the pharmacist — everybody.” The most insidious corruption affects the published research on particular drugs. Fung highlights the influence industry can have when it finds a medical journal editor willing to take its money. Another problem arises in the form of industry-funded medical research.

This conflict of interest leads to the selective publication of positive trials, which can skew the science on particular drugs and lead to unnecessary or even dangerous overprescription. Fung notes how statin prescriptions illustrate the scope of this particular problem. “We accept this of drug companies … but the problem is that people die,” Fung says. He later adds: “You can make arguments that sugar is a health food, that opioids are good for you … but it harms patients, and we always have to remember that at the end of the day, this is not why we became doctors. The reason we became doctors was to help people, but we’re not until we kind of set those same rules as everybody else.” (49 minute video)

Please don’t tell me you’ve gone pro-Castro.

Stalin denial is as bad a look at Holocaust denial. Maybe worse!

Not saying these oligarchs are good guys. But the Castro regime – way worse, IMO.

Street scene, Havana. Arien Chang Castán

Actually I have not thought much about Cuba except for the Cuban mathematician I worked with, Baby Castro installed in British controlled Canada, and the CIA proposed False Flag using Cubans that probably got JFK killed.

One question is: Were the Brits involved with installing Castro?

Let’s start with the origin of communism.

I will go with Promethean Action’s take. You can trace it back to the British Empire/globalist cartel.

If you have not already read it: Their Satanic Majesties Roar. MAGA bites back.

Richard Poe, among other researchers, identifies the hand behind these actions as the British, courtesy of MI6 and 

GCHQ, who have all the skills. The British oligarchy, the City of London, in bed with their secret services, have been, he believes, for two centuries and counting seeding revolution and chaos in every country, in order to maintain their dominance of the financial markets. The British, 

he says, created the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadi movement in order to profit off war and oil in the Mideast. All that money western nations send to the ME is harvested by the globalist gang. The Ukraine war, too, is yet another attempt of the British to destroy Russia, something they have been doing for centuries, and of course and always to loot America’s public funds. Little wonder “the Anglo-Saxon” is the term used to delineate evil in Russia. Yes, of course elements of the Jewish community are all in, and of course it is coordinated across all intelligence agencies most importantly, the CIA. But the British invented it. They are the GOAT….


From Richard Poe’s substack

How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed It on the Jews.)

The Untold Story of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, MI6, and the Russian Revolution


Greedy for power and Persian oil fields, King George V of England (right) plotted the overthrow of his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (left).

SUMMARY: Was the Bolshevik Revolution fake? Was Lenin’s 1917 coup little more than a “color revolution,” a staged event, orchestrated by foreign intelligence services? Strong evidence suggests that it was. In the 1920s, prominent Russian exiles accused Great Britain of plotting the Tsar’s downfall. George Buchanan, British ambassador to Russia from 1910 to 1918, devoted 16 pages of his 1923 memoir to denying this charge. But the charge was true. The British secret services had destabilized Russia, just as they had previously destabilized France in 1789. They had infiltrated and weaponized the Bolsheviks, just as they had previously weaponized the Jacobin movement against Louis XVI. While the Tsar was technically Britain’s ally in World War I, British elites feared that a victorious Russia would threaten Britain’s global dominance. Bolshevism provided the solution, demolishing the Tsar’s once-mighty empire, and plunging Russia into chaos and civil war. — RICHARD POE

“THIS MOVEMENT among the Jews is not new,” wrote Winston Churchill. “From the days of … Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation… has been steadily growing.”1

Churchill was talking about communism.

It was February 8, 1920. As Churchill wrote, all eyes were on Russia, where Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks— “Reds” and “Whites”—were battling for control of the country.

Before it was over, some 10 million people would die in the Russian Civil War, mostly civilians, and mostly from disease, famine, and mass atrocities on both sides. From this slaughter, the world’s first communist state would emerge.2

Churchill blamed it all on a “worldwide conspiracy” of Jews.

In a full-page article in London’s Illustrated Sunday Herald, Churchill wrote: “There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. … [T]he majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. … Litvinoff… Trotsky… Zinoviev… Radek—all Jews.”

Churchill declared that the subversive role of “Jewish revolutionaries… in proportion to their number in the population” was “astonishing,” not only in Russia, but throughout Europe…

It is a long read but worth it. This is his book.

Cuba after Castro: royal visit to Havana reflects important shift in UK Policy

From Winston Churchill to the Rolling Stones, Cuba has hosted its fair share of famous Britons over the years. But the first official royal visit by the Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall in 2019 heralds an important shift in Her Majesty’s Government’s longstanding policy towards the island.

Until recently, little had changed since 1898, when the US intervened to end Spanish colonial rule in Cuba and Britain largely surrendered to growing US dominance in the Caribbean sphere. But Britain’s soft power play today indicates an alignment with Barack Obama’s 2014 diplomatic re-engagement with the island, rather than Donald Trump’s rolling back of this initiative. Obama judged the 54-year-long US trade blockade a failure, and ordered the unfreezing of Cold War-era policy….

With other Western countries exploiting economic openings in Cuba – and Britain keen to compete with them more openlydoes only Trump’s administration stand in the way?

That article points to this book.

Support from Venezuela

Venezuela is the largest trading partner to Cuba and is widely considered to be systemically important to the Cuban economy.[112][113] Since the 1990s, the two nations have shared a close relationship and have maintained strong economic collaboration.[114][115] Initial trading was centered on exchanging Venezuelan oil for visiting Cuban doctors in a form of medical diplomacy.[116][117] Venezuelan investors are the only foreign investor allowed to hold 100% ownership in businesses, with all other foreign investors requiring joint investment with Cuba. According to Carmelo Mesa-Lago, a Cuban-born U.S. economist, in nominal terms, the Venezuelan subsidy is higher than the subsidy which the Soviet Union gave to Cuba.[113] In 2012, Venezuela accounted for 20.8% of Cuba’s GDP, while Cuba only accounted for roughly 4% of Venezuela’s.[118] The Venezuelan economy has been in complete collapse since 2010, hampering its ability to support Cuba.[119][120]

Support from the Soviet Union, Russia and China are also detailed. Cuba is the dark blue line.

GUATEMALA, UNITED FRUIT & THE CIA

Inside Operation PBSuccess, When The CIA And A Banana Company Destroyed Guatemalan Democracy

In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s corruption.

Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the United Fruit Company — now known as Chiquita Brands International — controlled vast swaths of Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic exploitation.

But in the 1940s, a democratic revolution and calls for justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the White House — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous Communist administration in the process…

John Foster Dulles and Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955.

United Fruit couldn’t sit by and wait. It needed the support of the American government to stop Arbenz.

This was the 1950s — the early years of the Cold War — and so United Fruit began a strategy that framed Guatemala as a Communist foe in the U.S. press.

Their mission was helped by the company’s connections. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was a former lawyer for United Fruit. His brother Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA, was formerly on United Fruit’s Board of Directors. And the company’s PR Executive, Ed Whitman, was married to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personal secretary, Ann Whitman.

United Fruit didn’t need to push hard. Eisenhower was eager to show the world his anti-Communist credentials. Under Eisenhower’s orders, the CIA began crafting Operation PBSuccess in August 1953…

To achieve this goal, the CIA recruited a disgruntled ex-Arbenz military officer named Carlos Castillo Armas. Armas rallied anti-government sentiment and pieced together an army of a few hundred men, supplied and supported with U.S. equipment and intelligence under Operation PBSuccess.

On June 18, 1954, Armas and his men attacked with the help of logistical support from the U.S. The CIA began by launching a propaganda campaign, warning the Guatemalan public and Arbenz that a major invasion was underway, setting up a clandestine radio station that jammed Guatemalan signals and flooded the airwaves with greatly exaggerated messages.

…The CIA’s psychological warfare succeeded. Panic overtook the capital and Arbenz’s supporters began losing faith. And when he attempted to raise his own militia, only a few hundred civilians showed up.

On June 27, 1954, just nine days later, Arbenz resigned. He sought asylum at the Mexican embassy and later fled the country….

Premier Fidel Castro’s sister, Juana, who defected to Mexico on June 20, had been in contact with Central In-telligence Agency operatives for nearly four year*, the Herald Tribune learned yesterday.

And , Premier Castro’s brother, Raul, his trusted No. 2 man as War Minister in the Communist regime, protected Juana from the bearded dictator’s wrath [for . all that tie and then.] paved the way for her flight to Mexico City while Premier Castro , was ~ away from Havana.

In Havana on Wednesday, night Premier Castro told newsmen that Juana’s deection was indeed. ‘a blow. “This incident to me personally is very bitter and profoundly painful. But I understand this is the price of being a revolutionary.”

Highly ‘placed intelligence sources here yesterday confirmed that she had been instrumental in spiriting at least 200 Cubans out…

How Eddie Bernays, the United Fruit Company, and the CIA overthrew the Guatemalan Government

Excerpt from Adam Curtis’ BBC documentary, “Century of Self,” detailing Eddie Bernays’ influence in helping United Fruit and the CIA overthrow the democratically elected leader of Guatemala.


IMPORTANT EXCERPTS FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

influence of the Freud family in America was about to grow even more politicians were about to turn to Anna Freud cousin Edward Bernays for help in a time of crisis he was going to manipulate the inner feelings and fears of the masses to help America’s politicians fight the Cold War….

…at this point Edward Bernays was living in New York in the 1920s he had invented the profession of public relations and was now one of the most powerful PR men in America he worked for most of the major corporations and advised politicians including President Eisenhower like his uncle Sigmund Bernays was convinced that human beings were driven by irrational forces the only way to deal with the public was to connect with their unconscious desires and affairs Bernays argued that instead of trying to reduce people’s fear of communism one should actually encourage and manipulate the fear but in such a way as it became a weapon in the Cold War rational argument was fruitless what my father understood about groups is that they are manipulandum arable and that that you can tap into their deepest desires or their deepest fears and use up to your own purposes I don’t think you felt that all those public’s out there had reliable judgment that they very easily might vote for the wrong man or want the wrong thing so that they had to be guided from above one of the bonuses main clients was the giant United Fruit Company they owned vast banana plantations in Guatemala in Central America…

taking United Fruit again as a commercial client out of the picture and making it look like a question of American democracy American values being threatened in reality árbenz was a Democratic Socialist with no links to Moscow but Bernays set out to turn him into a communist threat to America..

…with the United Fruit Company the CIA trained and armed rebel army and found a new leader for the country called Colonel Armas the CIA agent in charge was Howard hunt later one of the Watergate burglars what we wanted to do was have a terror campaign to terrify our beds particularly terrify his troops …just rendered everybody paralyzed as planes flown by CIA pilots dropped bombs on Guatemala City Edward Bernays carried on his propaganda campaign in the American press he was preparing the American population to see this as the liberation of Guatemala by freedom fighters for democracy

He totally understood that the coup would happen when the public and the press, when conditions in the public & in the press allowed for [it] to happen And he created those conditions He was totally savvy in terms of just what he was helping create there, in terms of this overthrow but ultimately he was reshaping reality reshaping public opinion in a way that’s undemocratic and manipulative. On June 27th 1954 Colonel Arbenz fled the country and Armas arrived as the new leader within months Vice President Nixon visited Guatemala in an event staged by United fruits PR department it was shown piles of Marxist literature that had been found it was said in the presidential palace.… [FBI photos of classified docs at Mar-a-logo anyone? – GC]

British Empire’s Psy-War Against MAGA: How They’re Trying to Stop Trump’s Peace

“In this episode, Barbara Boyd discusses President Trump’s peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war and its monumental implications. The proposed plan may lead to the end of the British Financial Empire and spark a new human Renaissance.

Trump’s realist approach centers on acknowledging ground realities and working toward Ukrainian sovereignty and rebuilding. The script also highlights Trump’s criticism of the Washington status quo and the psychological warfare against MAGA supporters. Vice President Vance’s insights on MAGA’s challenges and the economic strategies are also examined. Boyd delves into the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the peace plan, including infrastructural projects like the Bering Strait Tunnel and the potential collapse of NATO. ”

Fear Not.

In the biblical record of heavenly encounters, often the first thing spoken to a person (who has already fallen face down in awe) is, “Fear Not.”

Revelation 1 (KJB), John’s Vision on Patmos

9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, FEAR NOT; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.


Reasonable Fear.

It is the human condition to face fears in our lives that are truly reasonable fears. But, when we have done all we can to prepare and protect, we still find our power is not sufficient to remove all sources of threat.

Psalms 127

1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
            They labor in vain who build it;
            Unless the LORD guards the city,
            The watchman keeps awake in vain.

  2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
            To retire late,
            To eat the bread of painful labors;
            For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

May the truth of God’s provision and protection calm the fears of those who belong to him.

Psalms 91 (TPT)

1 When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, 
you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.*

2 He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.

3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, 
and he will protect you from false accusation
and any deadly curse. 

4 His massive arms  are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

6 Don’t fear a thing!
Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, 
nor will the powers of evil be launched against you.

7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8 You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,
for they will be paid back for what they have done!

9-10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,
our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.

12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you
and keep you from stumbling.

13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you.

15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will feel my presence
in your time of trouble.
I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Exodus Jubilation.

This is the first week of the Eastertide season.

Eastertide (also known as Eastertime or the Easter season) or Paschaltide (also known as Paschaltime or the Paschal season) is a festal season in the liturgical year of Christianity that focuses on celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The church refers to this period of time after the resurrection as the Paschal Season. What are they referring to?

It’s all about the Passover.

…the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus comes clothed to us in the imagery, symbolism, and language of the Jewish Passover. In fact, the name these early Christians give to their Easter festival is the Greek word paschaPascha is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Pesach, which is the Hebrew name for Passover. The Latin church picks up this usage and calls Easter in Latin as pascha as well. And from that Latin origin, modern European romance languages get their name for Easter: French: Paques, Spanish: Pascua, Italian: Pasqua. — Gordon Lindsey, The Bible is in My Blood

Drawing parallels between the exodus and the resurrection, Christians see the Exodus as a type, a foreshadowing of the massive jailbreak when Christ frees the righteous dead from the shadow-lands of the underworld, leading them in triumph from darkness into His light. And Christ’s defeat of sin and death is indeed, Good News.

This parallel is highlighted not only within the Gospel accounts themselves, but throughout the New Testament.

For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 
1 Corinthians 5:6-8

Rejoice!

Easter’s message rings out in the traditional greeting; one says, “Christ is risen!” and to which the response is, “He is risen indeed, Alleluia!” There is joy in the air. An exuberance, a jubilation, as believers celebrate the defeat of their enemy, and the triumph of their Savior.

Christ is risen from the dead,
trampling down death by death,
and upon those in the tombs
bestowing life!
Paschal troparion, Christos anesti

In the book of Exodus, after witnessing the Egyptians absolute defeat by the hand of God, the people of Israel, led by Moses, break into song–not only singing–but dancing in celebration. Finally, they are beginning to believe that they have been freed from their oppressors.

We see a people filled with exuberant jubilation rejoicing over the utter defeat of their enemy, and the stunning triumph of their saving God.

And we are right there with them in this Eastertide season. God has mightily delivered us. Let us rejoice!

The Song of Moses

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:
(Exodus 15:1-21)

I will sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant;
horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.

My strength and my refuge is the LORD,
and he has become my savior.
This is my God, I praise him;
the God of my father, I extol him.

The LORD is a warrior,
LORD is his name!

Pharaoh’s chariots and army he hurled into the sea;
the elite of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

The flood waters covered them,
they sank into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O LORD, magnificent in power,
your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy.

In your great majesty you overthrew your adversaries;
you loosed your wrath to consume them like stubble.

At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up,
the flowing waters stood like a mound,
the flood waters foamed in the midst of the sea.

The enemy boasted, “I will pursue and overtake them;
I will divide the spoils and have my fill of them;
I will draw my sword; my hand will despoil them!”

When you blew with your breath, the sea covered them;
like lead they sank in the mighty waters.

Who is like you among the gods, O LORD?
Who is like you, magnificent among the holy ones?
Awe-inspiring in deeds of renown, worker of wonders,
when you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them!

In your love you led the people you redeemed;
in your strength you guided them to your holy dwelling.

The peoples heard and quaked;
anguish gripped the dwellers in Philistia.

Then were the chieftains of Edom dismayed,
the nobles of Moab seized by trembling;

All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away;
terror and dread fell upon them.

By the might of your arm they became silent like stone,
while your people, LORD, passed over,
while the people whom you created passed over.

You brought them in, you planted them
on the mountain that is your own—

The place you made the base of your throne, LORD,
the sanctuary, LORD, your hands established.

May the LORD reign forever and ever!

When Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen entered the sea, the LORD made the waters of the sea flow back upon them, though the Israelites walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.

Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, while all the women went out after her with tambourines, dancing; and she responded to them:

Sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant;
horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.

God Wins.

Sovereignty

Sovereignty. Souveraineté.
What does this word, sovereignty, mean?
It seems to mean different things to different people.

This Kind of Sovereign?

Judging by a paper called, “A QUICK GUIDE TO SOVEREIGN CITIZENS,” by the UNC School of Government, there are some people that think they can become free by resisting the governmental structures currently in place in our nation. In brief, the paper tells us:

“Sovereign citizen” is a catchall phrase referring to a variety of anti-government individuals and groups who share some common beliefs and behaviors. The organizations to which many sovereign citizens belong have a variety of names… In one way or another, though, all sovereign citizens, whether tied to an organization or not, adhere to a view that the existing American governmental structure, including the courts and law enforcement, is illegitimate and that they, the sovereign citizens, retain an individual common law identity exempting them from the authority of those fraudulent government institutions.

Hmmmm.
Maybe this isn’t the kind of sovereign we were looking for.

A Different Take on Sovereignty.

We’ve already had some discussion recently on this essay, but you might not have read far enough down to reach this fantastic claim:

… Still, their eyes were always looking forward, toward a moment when the government wouldn’t just digitize its services but its sovereignty. Enter DOGE. The Department of Government Efficiency didn’t materialize in a vacuum. It was seeded during the Obama years, whispered into existence by those who knew that the real power would come not from Congress, but from a system nimble enough to move faster than legislation, and quiet enough to reshape infrastructure without fanfare. It began as the United States Digital Service—a small team of technocrats who fixed websites, sure, but more importantly, mapped the internal circuitry of American bureaucracy. They weren’t patching holes. They were creating access points. And then, just as quietly as they arrived, they left the back door open.

Sounds interesting. But I’m not sure exactly how to respond. The author provides three hypothetical outcomes of the end of Act III. The second outcome, narrative fracture, doesn’t look good. The first outcome, sovereign reset, is just about what most people seem to want. But that third outcome—if it is even possible—the revelation state, I think people with a heart to be free might want an outcome like this:

It’s not just about controlling the machine—it’s about purifying it.
The Sovereign Reset without accountability is stable, but cold.
The Narrative Fracture without vision is chaotic and likely irreparable.
But the Revelation State?
That’s the rarest kind of government:
One that awakens, without collapsing.
One that confesses, without capitulating.
One that still serves, even after seizing control.

However, does this path return us to the intentions of the Founding Fathers of our nation?
I wonder.

Popular Sovereignty.

The Bill of Rights Institute offers some bracing clarity regarding those intentions:

Popular Sovereignty: “We the People”

The Declaration of Independence affirmed the republican principle of popular government. The people were the source of all sovereignty, or authority, in the representative government. They gave their consent to their elected representatives to govern them. The document stated, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving [receiving] their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

The Preamble to the Constitution outlined that the new constitutional government was also to be based on this principle of popular sovereignty. It stated, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union.” This meant that the people of the United States, through their representatives, established this new government. The previous government under the Articles of Confederation (1781–1789) did not have sufficient power to govern the nation because the states were sovereign.

The core purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to establish a just political order that recognized human equality in natural rights for all persons. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable [impossible to take away] Rights.” This meant that the equality of all people would be the basis of any American system of government. This promise, though not fully realized, has guided American political debates ever since.

This was recognized in the Preamble, which stated simply that one of its main goals was to “establish Justice.” Justice meant that all were equal under the law and equal in their rights. Individuals would be able to pursue their own happiness and have equal opportunity to work hard and keep the fruits of their labor. James Madison noted the importance of justice in Federalist No. 51 when he wrote, “Justice is the end [purpose] of government. It is the end of civil society.”


God as Sovereign.

On this Maundy Thursday of the Christian Holy Week, it seems fitting to reflect on how Jesus the Christ, and our Lord, presented his sovereignty in the last hours before laying down his life for those he came to redeem.

From the Gospel of John 18:33-19:22 (AMPC):

So Pilate went back again into the judgment hall and called Jesus and asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus replied, Are you saying this of yourself [on your own initiative], or have others told you about Me?

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your [own] people and nation and their chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done? Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) belongs not to this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would have been fighting to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, My kingdom is not from here (this world); [it has no such origin or source].

Pilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered, You say it! [You speak correctly!] For I am a King. [Certainly I am a King!] This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.

Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him. But it is your custom that I release one [prisoner] for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews?

Then they all shouted back again, Not Him [not this Man], but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged (flogged, whipped) Him. And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple cloak around Him. And they kept coming to Him and saying, Hail, King of the Jews! [Good health to you! Peace to you! Long life to you, King of the Jews!] And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

Then Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I bring Him out to you, so that you may know that I find no fault (crime, cause for accusation) in Him. So Jesus came out wearing the thorny crown and purple cloak, and Pilate said to them, See, [here is] the Man!

When the chief priests and attendants (guards) saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no fault (crime) in Him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to that law He should die, because He has claimed and made Himself out to be the Son of God.

So, when Pilate heard this said, he was more alarmed and awestricken and afraid than before. He went into the judgment hall again and said to Jesus, Where are You from? [To what world do You belong?] But Jesus did not answer him.

So Pilate said to Him, Will You not speak [even] to me? Do You not know that I have power (authority) to release You and I have power to crucify You? Jesus answered, You would not have any power or authority whatsoever against (over) Me if it were not given you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the one who delivered Me over to you is greater.

Upon this, Pilate wanted (sought, was anxious) to release Him, but the Jews kept shrieking, If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anybody who makes himself [out to be] a king sets himself up against Caesar [is a rebel against the emperor]!

Hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the Pavement [the Mosaic Pavement, the Stone Platform]—in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about the sixth hour (about twelve o’clock noon). He said to the Jews, See, [here is] your King! But they shouted, Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!

Then he delivered Him over to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led [Him] away; so He went out, bearing His own cross, to the spot called The Place of the Skull—in Hebrew it is called Golgotha. There they crucified Him, and with Him two others—one on either side and Jesus between them.

And Pilate also wrote a title (an inscription on a placard) and put it on the cross. And the writing was: Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews. And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, [and] in Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am King of the Jews.

Pilate replied, What I have written, I have written.

Vigilance.

Here we are. We are living through some of the most amazing days in the history of our country. And yet we can sense an uneasiness. An awareness that we need to remain vigilant. A feeling that the enemies of what is good and right are still hard at work trying to interfere, disrupt, overthrow, yes and even murder those building a better future for our nation.

Being Warned in a Dream.

It has been rare, but there have been times in my life when I needed to be warned about something, and it seemed that a dream was given. A dream that would shake me deeply. And then I would ponder, pray, seek insight, and face whatever the warning seemed to be about. Then I would try to respond appropriately in the circumstances.

Two days ago I awakened out of a dream with a grave sense of imminent danger. It was so disturbing, but I couldn’t really make out the full meaning. I will try and tell the details here as I remember them:

I am looking out over a freeway which is just below me in a canyon. At the edge of the canyon there are couple of people sitting at a table, maybe sharing a meal and talking. Beyond them, off in the distance, I can see a large silver airplane flying low over the city. It is apparently having mechanical trouble. I sensed great cry of prayer going up to God for the plane. The plane steadies, there is a sigh of relief. But then there is a distraction. I am still watching the plane. Suddenly it upends and then goes down hard, crashing. I run from where I witnessed the crash over to the airport. The wreckage is on the runway, but there is no fire, no emergency response crews, no activity at all at the crash site. I look around and see that there are people working in other parts of the airfield. They are focused on their work. Work that seems to be related to organizing or preparing to create chaos, not just protests, but also other kinds of disruptions and destruction. In the dream I picked up the sense that these are the kind of people that intend to harm our country—and it’s people—in any way they can.

Needless to say, reading Gail’s post yesterday did not do anything to calm my heightened sense of needing to be on alert. Alert in prayer. Alert in the world around me.

Nehemiah the Builder.

One of my early Bible teachers taught us to face difficult situations by praying and asking, “Where am I in the Bible now?” Perhaps the example of Nehemiah—rebuilding a nearly destroyed people and nation while facing danger and threats from those who hated and opposed his success—might just be a good fit for today. May pondering this story strengthen us to work at the tasks set before us with wisdom, humility, strength and courage.

For those that might appreciate a quick video overview:

An Inquiring Heart.

The story begins with Nehemiah in captivity, serving the king of another nation. But his heart is back home with his people. He questions his brothers that had just returned from Judah about of the state of his homeland. They reply, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” (Ne 1:3, KJV)

A Broken & Contrite Heart.

The response of Nehemiah reveals his tenderness and compassion for his people. “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” (1:4) Nehemiah doesn’t stand in judgment over others, he sits among them in his prayer:

“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.

“Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’

“They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” (He was cupbearer to the king.)

Artaxerxes Sends Nehemiah to Jerusalem

Nehemiah succeeds in his plan to get King Artaxerxes’ support in returning to Judah to help rebuild. He gets the authority from the king to do this work. The king authorizes materials and military protection as well. However, some of the local officials are “very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.”

Nehemiah quietly checks out the situation after he arrives and then goes to the leadership of Jerusalem with his plan and the good news concerning the king’s support. They agree to begin rebuilding.

The Opposition’s Response #1

Their first response is to not only mock and ridicule the Israelites, but to also accuse them of rebellion against the king. Nehemiah answers them by (1) identifying God as their hope for success, (2) noting their submission to God as his servants, (3) declaring their undeterred decision to keep rebuilding, (4) pointing out the opposition’s lack of claim or historical right to their city.

The Opposition’s Response #2

As the work begins, the opposition becomes more incensed. The opposition leader airs his ridicule in front of his associates and the army of Samaria. “What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?” Then his sidekick piles on, “What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!”

At this point Nehemiah has nothing left to say to their enemies. He goes straight to God with his appeal. “Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”

The Opposition’s Response #3

The work continues to make good progress, and when the opposition hears about it, their anger grew to the point that “They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.”

Nehemiah’s response again was to pray “to our God” and this time he “posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.”

Internal Discouragement

The workers start to report that their discouragement, and their fear of attacks by their enemies. Nehemiah’s listened to their reports. He takes direct action to fortify the protection for the families working on the wall. Again, he personally looks over the situation and speaks to the people directly.

I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.

Remaining Vigilant

Nehemiah then reports on the new level of vigilance provided to protect those working:

From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.

Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!

So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out. At that time I also said to the people, “Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and as workers by day.” Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.

Correcting Internal Exploitation

At this time there is a famine and the people are being (illegally) charged interest and are having their crops and lands siezed by the wealthy. When Nehemiah learns of this he beomes very angry for this injustice. He calls a public meeting and speaks directly to these wealthy leaders:

So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies? I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest! Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest you are charging them—one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.” “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.” Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath to do what they had promised. I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “In this way may God shake out of their house and possessions anyone who does not keep this promise. So may such a person be shaken out and emptied!” At this the whole assembly said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.

The Opposition’s Response #4

When the opposition hears that the wall has been completely rebuilt (but without doors in the gates yet). They try a new tactic. Four times they send letters to Nehemiah, attempting to persuade him to come out of the city and meet them in an outlying village. But their plan was to ambush him and cause the work to stop. Nehemiah refused.

The Opposition’s Response #5

A fifth time the opposition sends an unsealed letter (so others would know what was written) with lying accusations saying the Israelites were planning to revolt against the king. Nehemiah says about this latest attack:

I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.” They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.” But I prayed, “Now strengthen my hands.

Intrigue Within the Community

Nehemiah then elaborates on an incredible amount of intrigue where people inside of his own community try and trap or entangle him, are collaborating with their enemies due to alliances via intermarriage, are leaking information back to them and are lobbying to influence Nehemiah to see their enemies in a good light. Sounds familiar.

A Great Awakening

Chapters 8 through 12 of the book of Nehemiah recount a profound return to God by the people. Starting with fasting and confessing their sins, listening to Ezra read from the scriptures, repentance, and crying out to the Lord their God. The people then agree to obey the Lord by correcting wrongs, agreeing to obey the Lord’s instructions for offerings, worship, and consecrating the new wall in a large festival-like event. Things are going well for as long as their leader, Nehemiah was there to keep watch over the community.

However, in the final chapter of the book we learn that as soon as Nehemiah left to go back into service with the king, some of the people went back on their promises to God. When Nehemiah returns he again brings correction, helping the people to remain faithful to their God.

Keep Us Faithful, O Lord

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
— Jude 24-25 (KJV)

Hearts of Courage.

Some grow in courage over time, others find their courage appears in the moment of need.

When is comes to hearts of courage, there are some who truly stand out for me. They have stood by their principles, even when judges let them know that their stand was going to get them thrown in jail. There are likely many more that deserve to be highlighted. But tonight, let us remember Gregg Phillips, Catherine Engelbrecht, and Tina Peters, who have done time for the stand they took.


Free Tina Peters.

And may all good hearts continue to earnestly pray for God’s protection, healing and vindication for Tina who is still locked up while her case is on appeal.

For the latest on Tina Peters, check out this article: “A Day of Reckoning Coming for Those Who Falsely Imprisoned Tina PetersGuest post by Martel Maxim (March 7, 2025).

On Monday, March 3rd, the Deep State Dam began to crack open upon news the DOJ just filed a Statement of Interest in the case of Tina Peters. Read more commentary about that HERE. Accompanying this news was a spectacular throw down by Mike Davis from the Article III Project who revealed the corruption which led to the persecution, prosecution and imprisoning of Tina Peters for 9 years.

Now is the time for everyone to learn the real story about the dystopian abuse of Tina Peters. At the center of that is understanding why they would go to such extremes to frame, persecute, prosecute and imprison a near 70 year age Gold Star Mom who lost her Navy SEAL Son during service to his country. Without as much as a J-Walking ticket, or any ticket for that matter, the judge heartlessly sentenced Tina to what very well could be a death sentence for standing up and doing her sworn duty to preserve her election records. As described by Mike Davis, she was sentenced for “thought crimes”.

Well, it’s safe to say that the Deep State sure didn’t like Clerk Peters preserving those election records under her jurisdiction (all 29,000 of them) that they thought were successfully deleted at the direction of the Colorado Secretary of State. That deletion along with the other vulnerabilities are discussed on her website, https://tinapeters.us/ along with her forensic reports that delve into extreme detail on all the discoveries made by the forensic computer scientists.

Our DOJ, last month, has made a Statement of Interest (read more: The Gateway Pundit):

This review will include an evaluation of the State of Colorado’s prosecution of Ms. Peters and, in particular, whether the case was “oriented more toward inflicting political pain than toward pursuing actual justice or legitimate governmental objectives.”

Ms. Peters is currently incarcerated while pursuing a direct appeal of her underlying nonviolent convictions and combined nine-year sentence.

The application explains that Ms. Peters suffers from serious health issues and that, while incarcerated, her physical and mental health have deteriorated.  Reasonable concerns have been raised about various aspects of Ms. Peters’ case.

These concerns relate to, among other things, the exceptionally lengthy sentence imposed relative to the conduct at issue, the First Amendment implications of the trial court’s October 2024 assertions related to Ms. Peters, and whether Colorado’s denial of bail pending appeal was arbitrary or unreasonable under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments such that §2254 relief is appropriate.

Accordingly, the United States respectfully submits that the concerns raised in the Application warrant – at the very least – prompt and careful consideration by this Court (and, at the appropriate time, the Colorado appellate courts).

Parallel to these proceedings and Ms. Peters’ direct appeal, the Department of Justice is reviewing cases across the nation for abuses of the criminal justice process


Our Turn.

We can’t leave this to others. We can get informed on what has been found, what is being done about it, and what more needs to be done.

We can make a difference.
And we must make a difference.

🚨 NEW AUTOPSY STUDY – Cardiac Micro-Scars in Sudden Death Following COVID-19 Vaccination 🚨

🔬 Cardiac micro-scars (MMS) found in 3 patients who died of unexplained cardiac arrest—all had 5-6 COVID-19 booster injections.

Key findings:
🔴 Micro-scars in arrhythmogenic regions (pulmonary vein-left atrium junction) suggest a structural substrate for arrhythmias following COVID-19 vaccination.

🔴 Pre-death arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation & nonsustained ventricular tachycardia) occurred in patients with multiple booster doses.

🔴 Possible mechanisms: Spike protein production in cardiomyocytes, triggering immune activation, inflammation, microvascular injury, and fibrosis—leading to myocardial scarring and electrical instability.

📌 Corroborates our prior research on COVID-19 vaccine-induced cardiac arrest, linking myocardial scarring, arrhythmias, and sudden death.

National Security!

It’s “their” very favorite playbook. They want to some how, some way, create another narrative that makes everything related to president, Donald J. Trump, into a “National Security Crisis!”


Well, do you know what a real national security crisis looks like? It looks like the election systems in all 50 states having a total loss of control.

“We identified, inside of the state’s official records about the 2022 and the 2020 elections, millions and millions of examples of what appear to be felony misconduct, according to the United States Department of Justice’s guidelines for prosecution of election offenses.” — Marly Hornick, in this interview

While we may need an Executive Order to act as a stop-gap for the 2026 Elections–which are nearly on top of us at this point–the real work of securing our elections must be done at the state level. And it appears state officials will only be motivated when they see that Federal prosecutions could be in their near future.

I very much appreciate that the E.O. deals with an issue found in some voting systems. A human readable ballot and a true paper trail are essential for a secure elections system.

“Above all, elections much be honest and worthy of the public trust. That requires voting methods that produce a voter-verifiable paper record allowing voters to efficiently check their votes to protect against fraud or mistake. Election-integrity standards much be modified accordingly.”

“… voting systems should not use a ballot in which a vote is contained within a barcode or quick-response code in the vote counting process … [with an exception for accommodating disabilities] … and should provide a voter-verifiable paper record to prevent fraud or mistake.”

The “follow the money” types amongst us are likely to be happy to see the E.O. provide direction for an audit of all Help America Vote Act (HAVA) fund expenditures.

“Following an audit of Help America Vote Act fund expenditures conducted pursuant to 52 U.S.C. 21142, the Election Assistance Commission shall report any discrepancies or issues with an audited State’s certifications of compliance with Federal law to the Department of Justice for appropriate enforcement action.”

And for those of us who were concerned with the word “voluntary” in the Election Assistance Commission’s guidelines, it looks like there might be some teeth in the E.O. here:

“The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, consistent with applicable law, shall in considering the provision of funding for State or local election offices or administrators through the Homeland Security Grant Programs, 6 U.S.C. 603 et seq., heavily prioritize compliance with the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 developed by the Election Assistance Commission and completion of testing through the Voting System Test Labs accreditation process.”

That’s really all nice and everything, but is this going to be another here-today-gone-tomorrow news event? Well, rescinding all previous certifications of voting equipment based on prior standards sounds good.

“Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to review and, if appropriate, re-certify voting systems under the new standards established under subsection (b)(i) of this section, and to rescind all previous certifications of voting equipment based on prior standards.”

There are also important sections on not counting votes cast after election day (duh!), validating that voters are citizens, preventing foreign interference and prosecuting election crimes.

The section on improving the security of voting systems reminds us that election infrastructure is designated as “Critical Infrastructure.” Note that non-citizens are not to be involved in the administration of any Federal Election. I wonder how many voting system contractors that you see at the local elections office are non-citizens. Do they even check?

The E.O. goes on to task Homeland Security with assessing the security of electronic elections systems and report on what they find. I suspect this doesn’t go far enough. If there are non-electronic procedures that are not subject to review for Federal Elections that allow for fraud, that should be addressed to. Maybe it’s in existing law and I missed it.

“Sec. 6. Improving Security of Voting Systems. To improve the security of all voting equipment and systems used to cast ballots, tabulate votes, and report results:

“(a) The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate actions to the extent permitted by 42 U.S.C. 5195c and all other applicable law, so long as the Department of Homeland Security maintains the designation of election infrastructure as critical infrastructure, as defined by 42 U.S.C. 5195c(e), to prevent all non-citizens from being involved in the administration of any Federal election, including by accessing election equipment, ballots, or any other relevant materials used in the conduct of any Federal election.

“(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in coordination with the Election Assistance Commission and to the maximum extent possible, review and report on the security of all electronic systems used in the voter registration and voting process. The Secretary of Homeland Security, as the head of the designated Sector Risk Management Agency under 6 U.S.C. 652a, in coordination with the Election Assistance Commission, shall assess the security of all such systems to the extent they are connected to, or integrated into, the Internet and report on the risk of such systems being compromised through malicious software and unauthorized intrusions into the system.”

As the introductory text reminds us:

Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election. Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error.

You can find the entire text at WhiteHouse.gov.


We have been told that our elections systems are insecure. But what does that really mean? Three weeks ago, Marly Hornik of United Sovereign Americans gave a powerful 15 minute speech on the Stern American podcast, explaining how truly bad America’s situation has become.

My name is Marly Hornick, founder of the national election validity Organization United Sovereign Americans, along with cyber and election security subject matter expert Harry Haury. We came here to warn our fellow Americans that we have a constitutional and legal disaster on our hands.

The current election process nationwide is an uncontrolled, unmonitored catastrophe that is false returns. The last bastion of freedom on earth is at risk of being destroyed as early as 2026. 

Under President Trump’s decisive leadership, we see the proof that our own government has been selling out our kids’ future by stealing trillions of dollars per year from the American people and making us pay for their often twisted agenda.

Nowhere have officials betrayed us as badly as in our elections nationwide. USA is the first organization to measure election misconduct as defined under criminal law, to deeply study Supreme Court precedent and document the scale of defined election fraud nationwide.

After years of law enforcement meetings, official reports, legislative hearings, criminal referrals, and staggering trial-ready evidence, massive election fraud is still being illegally certified as accurate. Asking whether election officials are bad people is irrelevant. Their job is to prevent fraud, and they are legally required to prove it to us. That’s what we pay them for.

Twenty-one chief election officials have been fully briefed, nine have been sued in federal court, and every last one has proven disloyal to the sovereign they serve, the American people, and to the contract we made with our government, the United States Constitution.

USA has tracked tens of millions of individual felonies. We were the first to discover and document the algorithms and central vote manipulation. We filed our detailed data with the states, the FBI, Homeland Security, and the DOJ under the previous administration, and filed nine federal lawsuits demanding that election commissions follow the law.

And what did we prove? Every last federalized state election official believes that they are the sovereign, that they are the one who chooses our representatives. Every last one, they are perfectly content to continue violating our Constitution down to the root. It’s time to make it personal.

This is our land, from sea to shining sea, self-dealing bureaucrats and criminals did not create it, and they cannot have it.

(link to full Rumble video here & link to transcript here)


The top elections official of every one of our 50 states has been certifying elections that are run using equipment and processes that are deeply compromised. The courts, to this point, have refused to touch it. Pray.


Our Turn.

We can make a difference.
And we must make a difference.

Rural v. Urban.

Last week’s discussion of separatist movements was thin on the details regarding the motivations of those wanting to redraw the lines for their state. But the most common issue mentioned seems to be that nearly all of the time, the urban areas of a state are running the state without much consideration of the people living in the more rural areas.


Fourteen States – or more.

Will Trump will sew a 51st star on our flag?

From the article referenced last week, there are active separatist movements in at least 14 states: California, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.

The goals aren’t the same in each place — and some movements are far more serious than others. Dozens of counties in Illinois and Oregon, for example, have already voted in favor of some form of separation from their current states.

The rural v. urban dynamic is called out in an essay from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, College of Law (2018), “Splitsylvania: State Secession and What to Do About It

[Intrastate] secession is the true secession fever: Not the perennial postelection calls of losing parties to secede from a nation controlled by the opposition, but a growing movement for secession from states, with the parts of states (sometimes geographically very large parts of states) wanting to separate from the population-dense urban areas that essentially control state decisionmaking. Feeling ignored, put-upon, and mistreated, secessionists want to take their fate into their own hands. These movements are common, but not likely to succeed on their own, as intrastate secession is, though not entirely unknown (see, e.g., West Virginia) very difficult to pull off.

But these movements do indicate a widespread sense of dissatisfaction among (mostly rural) populations who feel that they are governed by people in distant urban centers who know little, and care less, about their way of life. Such sentiments, which in a way resemble those regarding Britain in the lead-up to the American Revolution, have probably worsened since the Supreme Court’s decisions in the line of cases beginning with Baker v. Carr weakened rural areas’ political position in favor of urban areas. This problem was, to a degree, foreseen by contemporary critics of those decisions.

In conclusion the author proposes:

In this short Essay, I have argued that allowing different standards for urban and rural areas in key subjectmatter areas, something that can be done by both state and federal governments without any constitutional changes, is likely to accomplish that goal. I believe that little of value would be lost by this approach, and much, potentially, might be saved.


An Example.

“Leave Illinois Without Moving – Demand a New State”

In Illinois, the proposal is for all but one county to leave the state of Illinois with essentially only Chicago (about 1/2 of the state population) remaining under the current state government of Illinois. The New Illinois organization will be holding their 7th Constitutional Convention in a little over two weeks from now.

The History of New Illinois

Not long ago, those of us who founded New Illinois were talking about moving away. Just like more than half the state’s residents, we found that in Illinois the taxes were too high, the opportunities limited, and the government corruption outrageous. Then one day the thought struck – Why should WE have to leave? Our families and our roots are here, going back to 1870. Why not stay and fight for our home? In June 2018, we formed New Illinois, a nonprofit organization with the mission of educating Illinoisans about their RIGHT, under the U.S. Constitution, to pursue the formation of a new state. Rather than moving away, we wanted to leave Illinois without moving.

Their vision is compelling for many others living in rural areas who feel out of step with the urban-centered governments running their states.

OUR VISION
New Illinois envisions a NEW State free from a tyrannical form of government, where residents will be able to experience a government representing their Constitutional Rights.


Our Turn.

We can’t leave this to others. We can get informed on what has been found, what is being done about it, and what more needs to be done.

We can make a difference.
And we must make a difference.

May God bless and guide you
as you pray and take action for our nation.

These prayers and outreach have made a difference.
