☕️ MIND WARS ☙ Monday, June 1, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

Jeff points out the major failure feature of the Fake News.

…Editors should have: separated real evidence from allegations, resisted parroting the framing of biased sources, brought in neutral independent forensic and archaeological voices, and updated headlines as the picture changed. In other words, basic journalism vanished like the alleged mass graves.

It was a complete failure of what is supposedly the media’s most important function: to separate interested gossip from facts. Maybe I should say, that used to be media’s most important function. Now, corporate media’s most important function appears to be distributing clever propaganda that destabilizes countries, spurs stochastic terrorism, and permits politicians to effect massive wealth transfers…


Earlier, on May 29, Jeff Childers wrote:

…Government researchers enrolled extremely vulnerable infants in an experimental RSV trial, did not obtain informed consent, continued dosing even as severe cases emerged, and two children died. Nobody was prosecuted or even fired. This is serious iatrogenic harm (injury caused by medical treatment) and a research‑ethics failure on its face, full stop.

The Times did its absolute best to cloak that very disturbing and all-too-familiar story in race. The two boys were black. “Most, if not all,” of the 31 kids in the trial group were black. Thus, the Times concluded: racism. What the Times didn’t say was that by the late 1950s and into the 1960s, Washington, D.C. had become a majority‑black city; black residents were the single largest racial group, and by 1970 had peaked at about 71% of the entire population.

That’s one problem for the Times’ unfounded racial hypothesis. Second, the NIH’s RSV trial was deployed through government-run or funded clinics. Both because blacks were in the majority in DC, and because of basic economics, most patients at these public clinics were also black. So we needn’t dream up some conspiratorial racial animus to explain the trial’s demographics.

Black folks were just unlucky enough to be living in DC in large numbers at the time. That’s it.

So, once again, the NYT’s dumb, woke narrative collapses with the most trivial inspection. But more interesting is why the Times leaned so hard into the race angle, despite having not a scrap of evidence. It’s because the last thing the big health agencies need right now is more scandals.

This is exactly the institutional reform RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya were hired to deliver.

🔥 At some point during the Cold War, our big health agencies contracted a deadly disease. They are infected with a mind-virus called utilitarianism. The scandal here is not that the NIH gave experimental RSV shots to black infants without informing their black parents. The real scandal is that the NIH believes you can’t make a public health omelet without breaking a few babies.

In other words, the NIH’s secret trials of experimental vaccines would not have been more acceptable if the babies had been white, orange, or green.

Classic ethical philosophy based on Judeo-Christian principles says: “You may not use people purely as a means, not even for a huge benefit to others.” Utilitarianism rudely inverts that: if the benefit is big enough, and the expected risk is small enough, almost any use of human bodies as means can be rationalized.

At some point in the recent past, our public health agencies quietly slid from “we are here to protect people” to “we are managing a herd, sorry, a population,” and those are not the same posture. In other words, instead of thinking of themselves as healers, they think they are ranchers.

The Lot 100 episode illustrates this problem perfectly. Severe harms and even deaths of infants were tolerated by elite managers because the perceived collective value of “staying the course” was so high. Even fudging the numbers to hide the harms was considered virtuous.

Stalin’s stats were great too, until they weren’t.

In classic public‑health utilitarian fashion, the stated good was enormous —preventing a leading cause of infant mortality worldwide— so the “cost” of experimenting on a few dozen vulnerable infants in D.C. could be rationalized as small in comparison.

The reason progressives and public health types (but I repeat myself) stick like limpets to utilitarianism is that it is technocratic. The philosophy —which is a necessary foundation for communism— presumes it is possible to quantify, in hard numbers, the numeric value of human lives and flourishing. That makes it possible to compare political policies: which ones produce on balance the most human flourishing?

It is both sensationally attractive and completely perverted…

In the Lot 100 case, we find scientists who explicitly or implicitly calculated that infants were less valuable than adults, and that poor folks were less valuable than more economically privileged ones. After all, the NIH investigators recruited from public children’s clinics, not from the private practices their own children or colleagues might have used.

Put even more simply and uglier: the NIH bureaucrats didn’t experiment on their own kids.

🔥 I will say it: utilitarianism is an evil, reprehensible ideology that all good people should root out and shun.

Utilitarianism isn’t a neutral “science of compassion.” It’s a license for elites to convert other people’s lives into numbers and then quietly decide which ones are expendable. Once you agree that it’s acceptable to harm a few innocents to buy hypothetical benefits for the many, you haven’t elevated morality— you’ve simply replaced “thou shalt not” with “let’s run the model and see who dies.”

Lot 100 was not a tragic mistake; it was utilitarianism doing exactly what it promises: sacrificing powerless babies in a D.C. clinic for the supposed good of a population they never got to join. [It continues]


Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832), the “Father” of Modern Utilitarianism and progressive saint. His preserved head, anyway.


What is interesting is I had already put the following together about the philosophies of ‘value’ because I like Mises and Gary North. Gary passed away in February of 2022, at the age of 80 due to complications from prostate cancer.

Gary North RIP, 1942–2022

…He was by training an economic historian and had a strong commitment to Austrian economics. He greatly admired Mises and Rothbard. He once asked Mises how he had been able to publish his famous article of 1920 on socialist calculation in a journal edited by Max Weber. Mises answered, “Well, I knew him, and I sent it in.” Gary wrote a notable study of Marx, Marx’s Religion of Revolution, and a long and learned commentary on biblical economics. He was also a founder of the Christian Reconstruction movement, along with his father-in-law, R.J. Rushdoony.

He was on Ron Paul’s staff in 1976, and he and Dr. Paul were close friends. For many years, he spoke at Mises Institute conferences, and he was the best debater I have ever heard. In his speaking style, he was highly organized and relentless; but he was in conversation kind and friendly. When I saw him at conferences, we would exchange stories of the old days. Now, alas, I cannot do that anymore.


Gary’s Mises on Money is well worth the read. I featured it in an article called A PRIMER ON MONEY. The following article by Gary is another excellent read as he identifies the problems that are metastasizing in American thought.

But first the cancer we are fighting.

The Philosophy Of Karl Marx

The philosophical bases of Marx’s thought were laid early and remained unchanged throughout his life. As a student, Marx accepted the philosophy of Hegel as the only sound and adequate explanation of the universe. According to this philosophy, “the only immutable thing is the abstraction of movement.” The one universal phenomenon is change, and the only universal form of this phenomenon is its complete abstraction. Thus, Hegel accepted as real only that which existed in the mind. Objective phenomena and events were of no consequence; only the conceptions of them possessed by human minds were real. Ideas, not objects, were the stuff of which the universe was made.


If Objective Reality does not exist, than a little girl can become a boy or a cat or a dog. The people pushing this insanity are not going to tell you that it is based on Marxism but that is where it comes from.


The Purfuit of Happineff by Gary North

Old timers will recall this title as a memorable line in a memorable comedy album, Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America, Volume 1….

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO “PROPERTY”?

The phrase, “life, liberty, and property,” does not appear in the Declaration. The phrase is incorrectly attributed to John Locke. It was implied in Locke’s Second Treatise on Government (1690), but it does not appear. Locke used the word estate rather than property. He subsumed all three words under property.

Man being born, as has been proved, with a title to perfect freedom and an uncontrolled enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of the law of Nature, equally with any other man, or number of men in the world, hath by nature a power not only to preserve his property, that is, his life, liberty, and estate, against the injuries and attempts of other men, but to judge of and punish the breaches of that law in others, as he is persuaded the offence deserves, even with death itself, in crimes where the heinousness of the fact, in his opinion, requires it ( Sect. 87).

Protection of all three — life, liberty, property — is guaranteed in writing by the United States Constitution. This guarantee appears in Article 5 of the Bill of Rights, which was ratified in 1791. It has proven as reliable as other government guarantees of its own performance.

A similar phrase appears in Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790). Burke wrote this of the revolutionaries:

To those who have observed the spirit of their conduct it has long been clear that nothing was wanted but the power of carrying the intolerance of the tongue and of the pen into a persecution which would strike at property, liberty, and life.

But there is no question that Jefferson substituted “the pursuit of happiness” for the more common term, “property.” Was there something ideological in this substitution? Was Jefferson a proto-socialist, as numerous contemporary historians argue?

Had he inserted “property,” this would have saved defenders of private property a lot of time and trouble when dealing with statist scholars, who are always searching for support for their position in the writings of famous defenders of democracy.

The pursuit of happiness is for modern academic man what the pursuit of truth is: a way to avoid the responsibility for discovering anything final. There is no objective truth for modern academic man, other than the truth against objective truth. Similarly, there is no objective happiness. There is only the subjective pursuit of such lofty goals by individuals. In this, as in virtually everything else, academics substitute process for objectivity. Defending the process is holy communion for modern academics. There is officially no holy grail, which would be much too objective.

Why this commitment to pursuit, trivial or otherwise? I suggest two reasons. First, academics do not officially believe in objective truth, which implies objective responsibility, which is decidedly old fashioned and even vaguely suggestive of the Christian doctrine of final judgment. The concept of objective responsibility implies objective standards and objective performance. Academics prefer to avoid both.

Second, modern academics control access to salaried participation in the process of the great search, especially in higher education. They control the implementation of the officially objective standards of tenure, institutional accreditation, and the flow of departmental funds. What Daniel Klein has described so well in the closed, self-certified world of Ph.D. economists operates in every academic discipline.

In contrast, “property” implies enforceable titles to identifiable units of ownership. This is altogether too objective for modern defenders of the political defense of the pursuit of happiness. They defend the democratic process, which affirms, “Thou shalt not steal, except by majority vote.” They want to believe in Jefferson the democrat, not Jefferson the defender of free market capitalism. They want to eradicate political restrictions on the confiscation of property by the State. The suggestion that politics exists so as to defend private property is only marginally less welcome than the suggestion that the Second Amendment to the Constitution actually means that civilians possess the right to keep and bear arms.

JEFFERSON WAS NOT ALONE

It was not only Jefferson who neglected to spell out in official detail his personal adherence to the private property social order. It was also Adam Smith, whose Wealth of Nations (1776), four months earlier, had placed the division of labor at the forefront of its economic attack on mercantilism, an attack that Jefferson made political in the Declaration. Smith’s pedagogical strategy backfired for the next 150 years. By failing to specify in Wealth of Nations the moral and philosophical foundations for private ownership, Smith handed the seemingly high moral ground over to Godwin and the socialists. The consequences of this decision have been chronicled in considerable detail by Tom Bethell in Chapter 7 of his book, The Noblest Triumph: Property and Prosperity Through the Ages (1998).

Jefferson was the supreme follower of Adam Smith among the American Revolutionaries. But by failing to specify property as the third pillar of the justification for civil government — a mistake Locke had not made — he made more difficult his ideological heirs’ defense of the private property order.

The pursuit of happiness is open-ended and non-specific. Liberty is just too vague to be defended systematically. What was needed in 1776 in both of those legendary documents was the insight made by Frederic Bastiat in 1850, in the midst of a European revolution that had begun in early 1848, a few weeks before Marx and Engels’ anonymous tract appeared, Manifesto of the Communist Party. Bastiat wrote in The Law, “Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” Or, in the words of a previous defender of objective private property, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:16b-17)

Gary North Mentions Bastiat. Here is part of an article about Bastiat and his philosophy.

Bastiat, Spoliation by Law

Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was one of the leading advocates of free markets and free trade in the mid-19 century. He was inspired by the activities of Richard Cobden and the organization of the Anti-Corn Law League in Britain in the 1840s and tried to mimic their success in France. Bastiat was an elected member of various French political bodies and opposed both protection and the rise of socialist ideas in these forums. His writings for a broader audience were very popular and were quickly translated and republished in the U.S. and throughout Europe. His incomplete magnum opus, Economic Harmonies, is full of insights into the operation of the market and is still of great interest to economists. He died at a young age from cancer of the throat.

LAW, Spoliation by

LAW, Spoliation by. What is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right of legitimate defense. Every man certainly has received from nature, from God, the right to defend his person, his liberty and his property, since these are the three constitutive or conservative elements of life, elements which complement one another, and which can not be understood, one without the other. For what are our faculties but an extension of our personality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties? If every man has the right to defend, even by force, his person, his liberty and his property, a number of men have the right to concert together, to agree and to organize a common force in order to provide regularly for this defense. The collective right has its principle, and its reason of being, and bases its legitimacy upon the individual right, and the common force can not legitimately have any other end or any other mission than the isolated forces for which it is substituted. Thus, as an individual can not legitimately make any forcible attempt against the person, liberty or property of another individual, so, for the same reason, a community can not legitimately make use of force to destroy the person, liberty or property of individuals or of classes. For this perversion of force would be, in the latter case, as well as in the former, in contradiction to our premises.

Which brings us to capitalism which TradeBait2 discussed yesterday. This is looking at Capitalism from the point of view of an Atheist. For those who may not know Ayn Rand grew up in the Soviet Union.

Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal

Laissez-faire capitalism, according to Ayn Rand, is not just an ideal but an unknown ideal. Few grasp its meaning, history, economics, or moral justification. In Capitalism, Rand sets out to remedy that.

Rand argues that capitalism is “a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned.” In practice, this means that a capitalist society is one in which the government performs a single function: it protects individual rights by banning “physical force from human relationships.”

Pure capitalism, she concludes, has never existed: but in the countries that approached it, with America in the second half of the nineteenth century leading the way, the individual was able to flourish. This is because capitalism is the only system that fully recognizes that man is the rational being who “has the right to exist for his own sake,” free from coercion by others.

Intrinsic Theory of Values

There are, in essence, three schools of thought on the nature of the good: the intrinsic, the subjective, and the objective. The intrinsic theory holds that the good is inherent in certain things or actions as such, regardless of their context and consequences, regardless of any benefit or injury they may cause to the actors and subjects involved. It is a theory that divorces the concept of “good” from beneficiaries, and the concept of “value” from valuer and purpose — claiming that the good is good in, by, and of itself.

The subjectivist theory holds that the good bears no relation to the facts of reality, that it is the product of a man’s consciousness, created by his feelings, desires, “intuitions,” or whims, and that it is merely an “arbitrary postulate” or an “emotional commitment.”

The Good

There are, in essence, three schools of thought on the nature of the good: the intrinsic, the subjective, and the objective. The intrinsic theory holds that the good is inherent in certain things or actions as such, regardless of their context and consequences, regardless of any benefit or injury they may cause to the actors and subjects involved. It is a theory that divorces the concept of “good” from beneficiaries, and the concept of “value” from valuer and purpose — claiming that the good is good in, by, and of itself.

The subjectivist theory holds that the good bears no relation to the facts of reality, that it is the product of a man’s consciousness, created by his feelings, desires, “intuitions,” or whims, and that it is merely an “arbitrary postulate” or an “emotional commitment.”

The intrinsic theory holds that the good resides in some sort of reality, independent of man’s consciousness; the subjectivist theory holds that the good resides in man’s consciousness, independent of reality.

The objective theory holds that the good is neither an attribute of “things in themselves” nor of man’s emotional states, but an evaluation of the facts of reality by man’s consciousness according to a rational standard of value. (Rational, in this context, means: derived from the facts of reality and validated by a process of reason.) The objective theory holds that the good is an aspect of reality in relation to man — and that it must be discovered, not invented, by man. Fundamental to an objective theory of values is the question: Of value to whom and for what? An objective theory does not permit context-dropping or “concept-stealing”; it does not permit the separation of “value” from “purpose,” of the good from beneficiaries, and of man’s actions from reason.


GOOGLE AI: Ayn Rand intrinsic value

Value Requires a Valuer and a Purpose

Rand asked the fundamental question: Of value to whom and for what? [1]

  • Because she rejected intrinsic value, she maintained that an object cannot have value without someone to value it.
  • For a thing to have value, it must play a specific causal role in achieving a goal for an individual. [1, 2, 3]

The Ultimate Standard of Value

Rand argued that the concept of “value” only makes sense because living organisms face the alternative of life or death. Therefore, the ultimate standard of value is an individual’s own life. An object or action is considered “good” or “valuable” if it serves to sustain and further that specific individual’s life. [1, 2, 3]

Commentary: Remember Khrushchev’s Prediction in 1959?

Khrushchev was right.

With the support of the Democratic Socialists, his prediction is coming true.

Also, I remember him beating his shoe on the desk in the UN saying,”We will bury you”….

A reminder of Khrushchev comments September 29, 1959: THIS WAS Russian Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev’s ENTIRE QUOTE from that day:

“Your children’s children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Do you remember or know all of what Russia’s Khrushchev said in 1959?

How do you create a Socialist State?

There are 8 levels of control; read the following recipe:

1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people.

2) Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion – Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Fast forward to 2021.

Is this parallel to the Democrat Socialist Agenda???? 

With an open mind, you can draw your own conclusions.

One last historical fact that needs to be remembered: In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nation’s history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passage of one piece of legislation. You guessed it: THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.

Amazing how the CIA reading room hides all of this:

Approved for release 1/22/2002 Khrushchev We will bury you

LYRICS

None shall sleep,

None shall sleep!

Even you, oh Princess,

In your cold room,

Watch the stars,

That tremble with love

And with hope.

But my secret is hidden within me,

My name no one shall know,

No… no…

On your mouth,

I will tell it,

When the light shines.

And my kiss will dissolve

the silence that makes you mine!

(No one will know his name

and we must, alas, die.)

Vanish, o night!

Set, stars! Set, stars!

At dawn,

I will win!

I will win!

I will win!

Dear KMAG: 20260511 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

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

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

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

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

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

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

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

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

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

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

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

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

Joe Biden didn’t win.

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

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

womanthrope

noun

  • a hater of women
  • a misogynist

Used in a sentence

A womanthrope is not the same as the more familiar term “misanthrope” – and, to be honest, I have never heard of the term until it came next in line, consulting my source of Words of the Week.

Dear MAGA: 20260507 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

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

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Thoughts On The 2026 Ohio Primary Election Results

TL;DR – they were great!

Just stopping in briefly to talk about this important result. I wish I could spend more time on this, but I have to get back to work.

This primary was important for both Trump and Vivek – and for me. We MUST defeat Lockdown Amy and Proggy Pepper. Ohio is SCREWED if these socialists win. They probably cannot win, but we cannot let down our guard.

Yes, Ramaswamy is “polished” to the level of being “Ratha-smarmy”. But he also has “the stuff” – and I mean the stuff that a certain President has even more of.

His Wikipedia page is very interesting, and has some surprises.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy

Here is Vivek’s victory speech queued up to the brief introductions.

Now, in more detail, the result.

Kalbo brought this tweet on Wednesday….

This was, at a national level, a great demonstration of the TRUMP EFFECT.

Notice that the same thing happened in other states.

https://twitter.com/CRRJA5/status/2051854394044375415

Yeah, Indiana is demonstrably Trump Country. And so is Ohio.

Back to Ohio.

What the media and the Dems were hoping for, was any sign of weakness on Vivek’s part. The Dems are desperate to get Sherrod Brown back into the US Senate, and their next goal after that, is to get Lockdown Amy and the man who would be the REAL governor, Democrat Party Chairman David Pepper, into the statehouse.

https://actonforgovernor.com/dr-amy-acton-selects-david-pepper-as-lt-governor-running-mate

Vivek’s “Republican” opponent, Casey Putsch, shouldn’t have even been on the ballot, much less getting 15% of the vote, and in a sane world, he would have gotten NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING. However, the Democrat media has done every bit of heavy lifting possible, to take an anti-Trump, anti-Israel, anti-everything non-pol who had zero experience with the Republican party, who could never even win a school board seat in a safe district, and give him the media coverage needed to make him “credible” – while at the same time, social media bots have used the Epstein, Fuentes, Bondi, and Palestine Genocide strategies to boost him with as many MTG-type MAGA as they could.

AND YET – Vivek beat Putsch far worse than any other machine pick beat an anti-machine upstart in recent Ohio history. Bottom line, IMO – Vivek is a stronger candidate than ANY Ohio Republican governor candidate in decades, including Kasich and DeWine. There is a reason that the Machine picked him.

Note that Vivek is using the same machine staffing strategy that the Dems are using. Acton picked David Pepper as her Lieutenant, because he’s actually capable of putting together a strong [socialist, Demmunist] administration FAST. Well, Vivek picked the Ohio Senate President, Rob McColley, as HIS Lieutenant. This wise move tells me that Vivek is not only serious about transforming Ohio – he is actually capable of transforming Ohio.

Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he backed Vivek.

I think the following pair of tweets explains why Vivek is going to beat Lockdown Amy. I won’t explain it too well, because I don’t want to help the Demmunists, but this says it all.

If you only looked at X, you’d think the Republican Party rejected Vivek Ramaswamy. Groypers screaming. Doomposts everywhere. But reality just dropped: Vivek wins with 86% of the vote. Online is not real life. The real Republican Party isn’t racist. We don’t care about skin color. We want visionary leaders who fight for America First — bold, smart, unapologetic. Vivek delivered. And the same thing is coming for Byron Donalds. The Groypers don’t own this party. We do. Real voters. Real results. Real future. #AmericaFirst #Vivek2026 #ByronDonalds”

And the response…..

The screech owls here have to be ignored because they’re working for the enemy. Vivek was another reason I voted for Trump. Especially after the town hall in Springfield Ohio. He is engaging and brilliant. He will be president someday and is a star for the Republicans.

And with that, I will get back to work! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

W

PS – if you want to understand just how BAD Casey Putsch was, just read this tweet. I don’t agree with Forney’s full take on Vivek, but he nukes all the nukeables of the “Retard Right”!

Casey Putsch has been defeated in a humiliating landslide.

It’s not even close. Vivek Ramasmarmy buried Putsch by 70 points.

We need to talk about the Retard Right and why they fail. It pains me to say this as I like Casey and believe he had genuinely good ideas that would have economically revitalized Ohio, such as his infrastructure plans. But he failed for a reason, and unless people understand the reason, this will just happen over and over.

1) Don’t attack Trump.

The image of Casey Putsch burning his MAGA hat doomed him right out of the gate. I don’t care how disappointed you are with Trump, how many blackpills that Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes have fed you. Donald Trump IS the Republican Party. He runs the show. You need his blessing or at least his neutrality to get anywhere.

The majority of Republicans—the people Casey needed to win over—support Trump. There is no constituency for being Based and Anti-Trump, it’s a less popular position than Liz Cheneyism. Casey Putsch could have cleared this up with an immediate apology: “I was wrong to turn on Trump. I have my problems with him, but I believe in what he’s doing. I’m running to support his MAGA agenda and help him finish the job.” Pride, foolishness, or Internet poisoning kept him from humbling himself. Even Thomas Massie has had to pivot his campaign to lying about how he’s best buddies with Trump, because his actual connections with the Squad etc. are electoral poison in Kentucky. Just trust Trump! It’s not that hard!

2) Get off social media.

Vivek Ramasmarmy is an incredibly weak candidate, off-putting in person, has a deep contempt for white Americans, and wants to flood Ohio with Indians. He should be as easy to knock over as a feather in the wind. Vivek practically wrote Putsch’s campaign messaging for him.

So what did Casey do? Did he hit the streets, post ads telling Ohioans that Vivek hates them and wants to replace them? That should have been the front and center of everything he did. No. Instead, he kept posting about how AI told him that Israel is Satanic. He kept wading into the Epstein files swamp. He went to Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest and shared the stage with a fat anchor baby and a Muslim hijabi, both of whom openly hate white Americans, destroying any credibility he had in attacking Vivek for his anti-white views.

Social media is not real life. The heady days of 2016 or even 2024 are over. As
@Freedomalternat
pointed out in his post-mortem on the Hungarian election, Twitter and other social media sites are so overrun with bots and AI slop that they do not represent public opinion anymore. Stunting on the hoes online cannot help, it can only hurt. Ed Gallrein is already using Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest clips to attack Thomas Massie. Vivek himself realized how damaging his X posts were to his political ambitions, so he got off social media to focus on retail campaigning. This is why he won.

3) Stop talking about the Jews.

Israel, pro- or anti-, is not an important issue for the kinds of voters you need to win a Republican primary. They want to hear about jobs, inflation, crime; meat and potato issues. Not only that, a governor’s ability to influence Israel, Iran etc. is fuck all.

Mouthing off about how much you hate Israel cannot help in a Republican primary. Again, it can only hurt, because you look like a deranged moron to the people who actually vote and you take away valuable space that could be used for important issues, issues where you shine. Casey Putsch SHOULD be known for his anti-immigration stance and his ambitious plans to revamp Ohio’s infrastructure. Instead, he’s known for palling around with hijabis and treating ChatGPT like an anti-Semitic magic eight-ball.

Before anyone responds with “Casey Putsch is an idiot influencer, of COURSE he was gonna lose,” I have two words: Brandon Herrera. Herrera, like Putsch, is a YouTuber. Unlike Putsch, Herrera won his primary and is almost certainly going to be elected to the House. What’s the difference? Herrera didn’t “campaign” by camping out on Twitter to stunt on them Jewish hoes. He hit the campaign trail, made friends and allies in local GOP organizations, focused his messaging on how he wanted to help his constituents and what he planned to do in office. Herrera also didn’t turn on Trump and now he has Trump’s endorsement. Learn from Brandon Herrera.

I feel confident in predicting that this is the beginning of the end for the Retard Right. Thomas Massie, James Fishback, Dan Bilzerian will all lose their primaries and the retarded anti-Zionist element will be purged from the right forever. It has no constituency, as Casey Putsch’s landslide defeat shows. Candace Owens is already talking about joining forces with the left to form some kind of Anti-Zionist Popular Front. Nick Fuentes has said that he is a “moderate Democrat.” The Retard Right are functional leftists in the process of becoming actual leftists. And the best part is that they ruined themselves by not knowing when to shut up.

YOWZA!

It is my suspicion that POTUS Trump does not expect the Save America Act to pass. AND he has plans to use an EO to make sure we have safe elections. If you look you can see the evidence surface.

(Yeah, Mama’s in a mood…)

In the mean time POTUS is letting the traitors in the Senate and Congress reveal themselves.

Peter Ticktin is one of the Lawyers for Tina Peters. Ticktin is also a high school classmate of President Donald Trump. Early in the following video he says a group of very smart lawyers have put together an EO for POTUS Trump.

Why We Vote Ep. 166: Peter Ticktin on Constitutional Law, Executive Power, and Election Legitimacy

CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by attorney Peter Ticktin for a wide-ranging discussion on constitutional law, executive authority, and the legal frameworks surrounding election legitimacy. The conversation explores how the Constitution is interpreted in modern legal battles, the limits of federal power, and how legal strategies are being used to challenge or defend election outcomes.

Peter breaks down complex constitutional arguments into plain terms, walking through the role of the executive branch, the judiciary, and the tension between state and federal authority. The discussion also touches on legal precedent, the importance of due process, and how courts approach politically sensitive cases.

Throughout the episode, the panel examines how legal narratives shape public perception and why understanding constitutional structure is critical in evaluating election-related disputes. It is a deep dive into law, power, and the ongoing debate over how America governs itself.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

31:48 – 34:10 — Peter Ticktin:

FL is a free state (Canncon) Colorado is a captured state (Ashe)

We are the peg holding the rest of the world up. They have not gone to the depths of where this thing is going to go. It is not going to be a situation where if they were to win where it would be same-o same-o, just a different party running it. It does not work that way.

Within a matter of months of them taking over power, they would be picking us up in truck loads. This is the end of our society as we know it…. We either get the Executive Order or I am telling you it is going to be Martial Law…

Trump was close to doing something last time but he just did not have the power. This time before anyone is sworn in, it will be martial law because we were not able to stop it in a civil way. There is no way that Trump will sit there and say Oh, Golly Jee we lost again because we let them cheat. It will not be that way this time because we will all be dead meat. There will be no coming back from it…

34:30 Ashe:

So the E.O. is intended to create a national emergency so we can make these structural changes… We can not have real elections until we tell the truth about elections…

Brave AI

In January 2017, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security officially designated election infrastructure as a critical infrastructure subsector under the existing Government Facilities sector, recognizing that its incapacitation would have a devastating effect on the nation. Link 1

 This designation covers physical and virtual systems including voter registration databases, voting machines, polling places, and vote tabulation locations. Link 2

The designation does not grant the federal government authority to regulate, oversee, or manage elections, which remain the responsibility of state and local governments. Link 3

 Instead, it prioritizes cybersecurity assistance and enables the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to provide voluntary, no-cost services such as threat monitoring, vulnerability assessments, and incident response support to election officials who request them. States: Rescind Electoral Critical Infrastructure Designation–Secretaries of State Allege Federal Intrusion into States’ Affairs

[Looks like the states realized they could lose control of their fake elections. — GC]

Key components of the designation include:

  • Legal Basis: Defined by the Patriot Act and Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) as systems vital to national security, economic security, or public health. 
  • Scope: Encompasses IT infrastructure for managing elections, storage facilities, and networks used for counting, auditing, and reporting results. 
  • Collaboration: Facilitates the Election Infrastructure Subsector Government Coordinating Council (EIS-GCC) to coordinate between federal, state, and local stakeholders. 
  • Threat Response: Allows for sanctions and closed-door discussions regarding sensitive vulnerabilities to protect against cyber threats and foreign interference. 

From Cornell Law
ArtI.S4.C1.3 Congress and the Elections Clause

By providing Congress power to preempt state election procedures, the Framers sought to prevent states from thwarting the federal government’s operation by using state law to manipulate or preclude elections for the House of Representatives.9 For example, during the Constitutional Convention Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania expressed concern that “the States might make false returns and then make no provision for new elections,” 10 while Alexander Hamilton observed in the Federalist Papers that “Nothing can be more evident than that an exclusive power of regulating elections for the national government, in the hands of the State legislatures, would leave the existence of the Union entirely at their mercy.” 11 Despite the Elections Clause providing Congress power to preempt state law governing elections, Congress did not exercise this power until 1842 when it passed a law requiring that Representatives be elected on a district basis.12 Congress subsequently added contiguity, compactness, and substantial equality of population to districting requirements.13

In the Court’s 1997 decision, Foster v. Love, the Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision that, 👉under the Elections Clause, federal law preempted a Louisiana statute governing congressional elections.14 The Foster Court noted that while states can prescribe regulations governing the Times, Places and Manner of holding elections, “Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations.” 15 The Court stated…

So Congress does have power over federal elections and they exercised that power in the Patriot Act despite what Brave AI said.

Starting Point:

U.S. Election Systems as Critical Infrastructure


On January 6, 2017, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson designated U.S. election systems as part of the nation’s critical infrastructure, a decision that was later affirmed by current DHS Secretary John Kelly. Since the designation was announced, state and local election officials across the country have raised questions about the day-to-day impact of the designation and how it will benefit their work to conduct accessible, accurate and secure elections. This document details DHS’s critical infrastructure designation and what election administrators can expect moving forward. It also provides a glossary of terms frequently used in conjunction with correspondence and discussions about critical infrastructure designation….

So at the end of his term Obama designated US Election Systems as critical infrastructure. 😂

DOMINION VOTING MACHINES MADE IN CHINA

SACRAMENTO REGISTRAR OF VOTERS

Election 2020

A Limited Case Study

“A secure and resilient electoral process is a vital national interest and one of our highest priorities.”

OVERVIEW

In December 2020 our cyber election team was invited by Mrs. Courtney Bailey-Kanelos, the Registrar of Voters in Sacramento County, California to review Sacramento’s election system, and to audit the 2020 election results.  The cyber election team was offered a $1.00 contract by the Registrar of Voters to perform the work (see Exhibits).  The cyber election team accepted, and placed a technician on a plane to Sacramento within 24 hours.

ENVIRONMENT

Unfortunately, if one has spent any time in Washington, DC, one understands that the town is filled with people who have extremely sharp elbows, and frequently put their own agendas above the interests of the American people.  In this instance, a bad actor got word that a technician was on a plane headed to Sacramento, and proceeded to blow-up phones in Sacramento.  Before the cyber election team’s tech landed in Sacramento, the audit effort had been squashed, as others in the County were now involved and the brakes put on the planned contract.  Obviously, this was a great disappointment.

LIMITED CASE STUDY

The cyber election team’s technician did, however, receive a tour of the election facility by Mrs. Bailey-Kanelos, who was and continues to be extremely gracious in all dealings.  The cyber election team’s technician was escorted to every part of the building by Mrs. Bailey-Kanelos and allowed to take photographs of anything he wished.

In this brief document, we will post some of these photographs, and explain their significance, as they demonstrate how an election official, with the best of intentions, can expose this complicated election system to bad actors and potential manipulation…


The password for accessing the Dominion ballot printing software and printing ballots is taped to the laptop for any user to see and use.


In the following video, Mark Cook said this information was key since similar passwords were used in other states.


Feb 5, 2026 CNN Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard’s office obtained and tested voting machines in Puerto Rico

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence obtained voting machines from Puerto Rico and probed them for security vulnerabilities, the office said in a statement to CNN Wednesday.

The extraordinary move comes amid Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s broader search for voter fraud at the behest of President Donald Trump, who has falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged despite numerous court rulings and audits debunking the claim. Gabbard was present as FBI agents executed a search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia, last week related to the 2020 election.

The ODNI claimed in its statement to have found “extremely concerning” cybersecurity and operational deployment practices with the voting machines in Puerto Rico but did not provide detailed evidence….

Mark Cook provides that evidence in the following video.


Why We Vote Ep. 167: Garland & Tamara Favorito on Fulton County Case, Seized Ballots, and Election System Vulnerabilities

CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Garland and Tamara Favorito for a deep dive into a major evidentiary hearing in Fulton County tied to the federal case surrounding 2020 election records. The conversation begins with firsthand insights from inside the courthouse, where discussions center on the FBI’s seizure of election materials, Fulton County’s legal response, and the implications of those records potentially being used as evidence.

The episode expands into broader election integrity efforts, including newly passed legislation, ongoing investigations, and the challenges of transparency in election systems. The panel also explores concerns around computerized voting systems, vulnerabilities in tabulation processes, and efforts to demonstrate potential manipulation during legislative hearings.

Throughout the discussion, Garland and Tamara emphasize citizen involvement, highlighting the importance of public testimony, grassroots action, and direct participation in hearings to push for accountability. The episode closes with a strong argument for returning control of elections to the people, focusing on simplicity, transparency, and trust in the voting process.

VERY ROUGH PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

4:45 to 33 minutes — Garland and Tamara Favorito:

Fulton County is trying to get back the ballots seized by the FBI. Do the county officials actually even have STANDING??? That is the matter before the court in this hearing. It should be an open and shut HELL NO! But not in the Amerika judicial system. [Remember all those “numerous court rulings” cited by CNN? Well the courts found citizens had NO STANDING and thus there never were any actual trials in most cases. –GC]

VERY IMPORTANT BOMB SHELL:

Please watch this video from 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Yes, it is long, but it is the election fraud smoking guns explained so a 10 year old could understand it. It explains why Colorado went ballistic when Tina Peters had a forensic image captured before the ‘Trusted Build’ by Dominion.

Interview of Mark Cook. His website is Great American Rebirth that I quoted above.

37 minutes Mark Cook:

He states he is a Subject Matter Expert in Election Cyber Security & THREAT ASSESSMENT with 40 years in IT & 6 in Elections. He says: I have absolute proof of backdoors built in to voting machines….

1:01:30 He gives a demo of the backdoors.

“…Tina Peters forensic image… God bless her, she allowed citizens to see what is in their black box voting machines. This is why she is being tortured…”

1;06;45 Mrs. Courtney Bailey-Kanelos, the Registrar of Voters in Sacramento County, California invited Mark Cook to CA and HE GETS A TOUR of the voting machines. See the article above.

He explains sequel [sql] server tools in simple terms.

1;07;10 Sequel Server Management is a stand alone that gets directly into the database bypassing the software that is suppose to keep it secure.

[Now think about that for a minute and think about those voting machines DHS grabbed from Puerto Rico…😂 — GC]

1:20:00 They can CHANGE the outcome of the election and there is NO RECORD!

1:25:45 Then Mark demonstrates something else using flash drives. He plugs in a flash drive and does NOTHING ELSE. He doesn’t hit enter or anything. He just holds up hands. He is NOT typing. The flash drive pulls up another backdoor. It starts flipping numbers in the database AND WILL NOT LEAVE A TRACE. (Change tracking is disbled. It comes that way from the factory & when Dominion sets it up for the county, they do not turn tracking ON!)

END 1:29:14

Canncon makes the point that Mark’s demo is slowed way down to make the changes visible. It actually happens fast, in about a second or so.

……

Name: USB Flash Drive #4 (backside)

Discussion: Back side of USB Flash Drive #4, showing a unique identifier, probably assigned by the county.


PRELIMINARY FINDINGS: SUMMARY from SACRAMENTO Case Study

  • Given the photographic evidence above, and the information provided by the voter registrar, our cyber election team concludes that it would have been trivial to:
    • print unlimited ballots while unsupervised;
    • connect the election system to an external network or the Internet during the election;
    • introduce new software, firmware, voted ballots into critical election equipment via USB or portable hard drive;
  • Numerous election officials and warehouse workers have unfettered access to key election systems and ballots.
  • Sacramento refused to address numerous security concerns as required by Grand Jury prior to the 2020 Election, and instead stated they would address them after the election (see Exhibits).

Inside the Criminal Gangs Planning to Steal 2026

What are you doing about it?

..In late winter, I wrote a series on election fraud. The day after the last, the man I had written about Saturday, Peter Bernegger, a freaking hero, was arrested. Later that week another subject, Christina Bobb, Trump’s lawyer, and the Republican National Committee’s voter fraud expert, had to fly to Arizona and turn herself in.

The left can no longer win on the merits of their ideas, much less their actions. They have created one catastrophe after another. The only way they can win elections is steal them. And they have developed three hundred separate, specific, methodologies to do it. In my opinion, and that of others closer to the coal face….

Is Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s Governor, owned by the Sinaloa Cartel? Are 25% of Arizona’s Judges Corrupt?

Several crime syndicates steal our elections: the Chinese, Venezuelans, the British Empire, Luciferians, the Left. In Arizona, it’s the cartels.

U.S. intercepted Ukraine government messages discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election

Newly-unclassified documents show that in 2022 Ukrainian officials discussed diverting hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars — earmarked for clean energy — back to Biden’s ill-fated 2024 campaign. There is no evidence the intercepted allegations were investigated during the Biden administration.

Democrats on world voter ID from DataRepublican

FULL THREAD

Democrats TEACH voter identification and election integrity … just not in America

The Democratic Party has an international arm called the National Democratic Institute (NDI). It’s funded by $181M/year in US tax dollars. Its board includes Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Tom Daschle.

But in regards to today’s SAVE America Act debate… did you know that the NDI has taught and supervised election processes all over the world?

For 40 years, NDI has told every developing country on earth that voter ID is essential for election integrity. They’ve recommended biometric systems… yes, that’s right, NDI recommended biometric systems, which goes way beyond SAVE America Act! They praised fingerprint verification. Tracked ID card issuance rates.

Meanwhile, Democrats call the SAVE Act “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Same party. Same people. Opposite positions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread

NDI’s own 2001 guide emphasizes the importance of only citizens voting. It further says voter ID cards “introduce an additional safeguard into the system” and describes photo ID and fingerprints as standard election infrastructure.


In one of their PDFs, the complaint in Nicaragua wasn’t that voter ID existed. It was that the government wasn’t issuing ID cards FAST ENOUGH. They even called the issuance of temporary IDs as ignoring “the far more fundamental problem.”

In Morocco, NDI praised the switch to requiring just ONE photo ID at the polls, calling it “a positive development.” The SAVE Act requires one photo ID. Democrats call that Jim Crow.

In Bangladesh, NDI praised voter photo ID cards as giving “a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women.”

Stacey Abrams, NDI board member, calls the same requirement discriminatory at home.

Chuck Schumer: “The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws to the entire country.”

NDI (his party’s own arm): “Individuals who wish to participate in an election must somehow prove their identity, demonstrating that they are who they say they are.” And also must demonstrate citizenship

The biggest irony: NDI vice chair Stacey Abrams co-led the Nigeria 2023 election observation mission. Its final report called biometric voter ID “the most important contribution to raising confidence in electoral integrity.” She called Georgia’s voter ID law “Jim Crow in a suit.

The biggest irony: NDI vice chair Stacey Abrams co-led the Nigeria 2023 election observation mission. Its final report called biometric voter ID “the most important contribution to raising confidence in electoral integrity.” She called Georgia’s voter ID law “Jim Crow in a suit.

NDI has observed elections in 100+ countries. If they observed a US election, they’d flag 14 states with no voter ID requirement as failing basic election integrity standard… by their own published criteria.

The Democratic Party tells the world voter ID is democracy. Then tells Americans it’s Jim Crow.

THREAD END.

When all the different threads are pulled together, I think POTUS Trump will have the evidence he needs for his E.O. on Election Integrity.

KMAG DAILY THREAD 20260226 & COLOMBIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

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

More recent news:

Israeli minister calls for West Bank annexation, scrapping Oslo Accords

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

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

BACK TO TRANSCRIPT

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

These are the countries signing this document:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

Big Oil & their Bankers in the Persoian Gulf

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

Excerpts from The Third World Traveler

p5

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

p7

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

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

p10

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

p10

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

p11

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

p15

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

p16

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

p17

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COLOMBIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

Discussions focused on counternarcotics cooperation...

Present given to POTUS Trump by President Gustavo Petro


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

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

So what is this organization? I asked ChatGPT.

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

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

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

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

Canada may very well be the final boss.

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

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


Colombian President Claims He Evaded Assassination Attempt — Badlands Team

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

Then they tried to assassinate him.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

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


Jan 09, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

Translated:

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

[Video]

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

[Video]

This tracks, if the cartels do actually control Mexico.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TEXT

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

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

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

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