Up front I want to say, if we are to be a free people it is up to us to take control of our lives. We have been deliberately trained to remain infantile and to look to an authority to tell us what to do. POTUS Trump wants us to be adults.

A word about POTUS Trump and Sec Kennedy.

Trump spent 5 years in a military school and then made his money building in one of the most corrupt cities in the USA. He KNOWS strategy. Kennedy is a trained, successful lawyer. He watched his father, his uncle and his cousin get assassinated by the Cabal. He also knows the enemy and strategy.

We focus on various battles – Vaccines, Epstein, illegals, crime, fuel prices, AI, Flock Cameras – POTUS and his Secretaries are focused on the WAR. The Globalist Cabal has various troops they deploy against We the People. The Fake News being a major weapon. Commie judges and the Senate being other major weapons. Then there are sanctuary cities and states, Antifa, drugs…. However I think the biggest battle is against the Mercantilists based in Europe & the City of London. Also remember POTUS is trying to bring back our industrial base. That includes Big Pharma that was exported to China and India thanks to the World Trade Organization ratification.

If you go back in history, depending on the author, you find similar systems. Whether it is Rome and slaves or Europe and serfs, you have an upper class (oligarchy) usually a priesthood and a thin layer of technical people. The rest of the people are serfs or slaves. Essentially feudalism.

Rosa Koire, a democrat, over a decade ago described the New Feudalism in THE POST SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Your government is a corporatocracy, a new authoritarian state in the process of consolidating your output into a more controllable, exploitable channel. The reason you are being misled by your government and told that all of this is good for you, is because there is no profit in managing a mass uprising. It is too disruptive. The markets want you to continue to consume—quietly and obediently. The technology that is being marketed to you is actually being used to condition you to expect to be spied on, and to spy on others. Every totalitarian state in history has relied on data collection. The Nazis were masters of data collection and analysis. Your government now has technological capabilities that far exceed anything ever seen on the planet to this date. You are in the midst of the biggest public relations scam in the history of the world. The pretty pastel vision of life in a SmartGrowth development is a manipulation, a mask. In fact these plans are designed to restrict your freedom of movement and choice.

Transit villages (formerly known as cities) will be restricted to having only the population that can be supported by food grown within a 100 mile radius (called a ‘food shed’). Food sheds will dictate where you can live and when you can change your residence. Calculations, such as those done recently at Cornell University, will determine how much food can be grown within that area and then the Transit Village population will be limited to the number of people who can be fed by that land (click on the blue to go to the Cornell website). It is reasonable to expect rationing based on this mode. If you want to move to that village you will have to apply and wait for an opening…

According to ICLEI, if you only have one car or no car your disposable income will be at least 20% higher.  Does this mean that you will have 20% more money to spend?  No.  It means that corporations can lower your wages by 20% and still sell you the same number of goods.  A compression of the economy with a more efficient outcome for big business.  Concentrating populations into urban areas where they can be easily monitored, where their usage of energy can be regulated, and where their consumption of goods can be restricted, is a goal of UN Agenda 21…


ICLEI BTW is still alive and well. The nearest city, as a member, had our 4-lane roads changed to 2 lanes with a middle turn lane and bike paths, two years ago. I have yet to see a bike on the bike paths. Combine what Rosa said with
The Wildlands Project and UN Convention on Biological Diversity Plan to Restore Biodiversity in the United States and it becomes clear there are too many people serfs so the herd has to be thinned. If disease doesn’t do the job there is THE CASE FOR NUCLEAR WAR.

Normal use is the little green areas. Again, we got the future plans for our county. My farm is within a wildlife corridor and thus no human use will be allowed.

Getting rid of mRNA vaccines does not get rid of the real problem–the Oligarchy who actually rule us. If Kennedy & Trump manage to succeed in getting rid of mRNA vaccines, our rulers would just use a different method to cull the herd. Why do you think POTUS keeps saying Iran must never have a nuclear weapon?

In short POTUS is getting rid of the guy with the gun NOT THE GUN!

…


I want to use oil as an example of how complicated things actually are.

Crude Oil Prices Today – Brent, WTI & Global

Brent Crude Oil – 60-Day Price Trend. Brent crude oil– the international benchmark that pricesapproximately 65% of the world’s traded crude… Brent crude trades at $114.89/bbl per barrel. The Strait of Hormuz crisis, OPEC+ production decisions, and sanctions on major producers are reshaping global energy markets. Oil prices directly affect gasoline costs, inflation, defense budgets, and geopolitical stability worldwide….

Five major crude oil benchmarks serve different regions and market segments. Understanding the spread between these benchmarks reveals supply constraints, sanctions effects, and regional demand patterns.

BENCHMARK .. PRICE USD/BBL .. EXCHANGE .. REGION .. DESCRIPTION

So let’s take a look at Brent Crude Oil aka North Sea Oil.

North Sea Oil Production Statistics 2026 | Key Facts

January 2026, the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) — which accounts for the overwhelming majority of North Sea oil output — produced an average of 2.219 million barrels per day of oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and condensate… the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) ..with crude oil production falling from 0.56 million bpd in 2024 to 0.40 million bpd by 2029 [and 0.93 projected for 2026.]

So somewhere around 3.1 million barrels a day of North Sea oil is used to price almost 65 million barrels a day.

Oil Producing Countries 2026

These are the top eleven, there are more in the chart at the website.

The financiers in London are controlling the pricing, NOT the oil producers! As The Network of Global Corporate Control showed, “…737 top holders accumulate 80% of the control over the value of all TNCs [Trans National Corporations] … A relevant additional fact at this point is that ¾ of the core are financial intermediaries...”

These financiers, the City of London are POTUS Trump’s targets. That is why Mark Carney is acting nutz.

TradeBait goes into this too, only looking at the situation from the point of view of the US military.

THE ENEMY

Our enemy, once they had lost the overt fights against the USA, turned to psychological warfare.


“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”

JFK


“
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath  when they speak in condemnation of it.”

Woodrow Wilson

The Impact of Science on Society – B. Russell

Bertrand Russell was a “scientific consultant” to evil psychopaths who wanted to run a world tyranny. In this book, he lays out a framework for a “scientific” global dictatorship, and ponders the intricacies of bringing it about, while blithely penning his sociopathic rationalizations for moving forward with it…

– p56 [1] On education “The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”

– p41 [2] “In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities, probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play…. All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called ‘co-operative,’ i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.” “It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.” – p61 [3] On control over opinion “The completeness of the resulting control over opinion depends in various ways upon scientific technique. Where all children go to school, and all schools are controlled by the government, the authorities can close the minds of the young to everything contrary to official orthodoxy.


LORD MARK MALLOCH-BROWN – THE GLOBALIST RACKETEER KINGPIN RUNNING THE QUEEN’S PRIVY COUNCIL WITH GEORGE SOROS

(Jun. 19, 2018)—The kindest thing we can say about Queen’s Privy Council kingpin Lord Mark Malloch-Brown is that he is certainly one of a kind.

It has taken an entire group of researchers over a month just to gather the facts about him. These facts are scattered across the Internet in many dozens of biographies in an evident strategy to confuse people about his background. No two are alike. These convoluted biographies are telling for a man with literally trillions of dollars at his fingertips; meaning he can buy national elections anywhere on the planet, but he cannot seem to write his resume…

….the Queen’s Privy Council and the United Nations plan for us. Exploitation, abuse and euthanasia. They don’t even hide the fact that they want to exterminate 75-90% of the world’s population (see video-taped comments by eugenicists Prince Philip and Ted Turner).

Is the above article, bafflegab? Truth? Or a mix?

WOLF MOON on mRNA VACCINES

AND THIS IS KEY.

If what Wolf proposes is true, POTUS unleashed the brainstorming of Americans to find ways to mitigate the effects of the clot shots. Not only did Trump, spike the guns of the 10 years of lockdown crowd AND not require or promote the clot shot, but early on he promoted alternatives. Trump and Dr Navarro even got India to manufacture HCQ for the USA and the USA then had strategic reserves of the stuff. Of course the Cabal countered with a lying Fake Science trial showing HCQ kills people. With Ivermectin, they just killed the study.

Starting the comments HERE on September 22, 2026 11:26 Bold is mine.

Wolf Moon  Reply to  Aubergine

He [Trump] won’t answer, either.

IMO, after numerous “behavioral training” hoaxes for allegedly possessing or releasing information, Trump is NEVER going to push to actually release information on deep military stuff like “why they’re developing bad but very quickly produced vaccines” that cost only 0.0001 out of 15, which apparently is a real DEAL as far as the military is concerned. Even among their own forces.

IMO Bobby Kennedy has been “read in”, too. But (IMO) they did NOT read in Prasad or Makary – too low-level and could not be trusted to keep the secrets. Those guys pushed where Kennedy could not protect them.

I strongly suspect now that JFK was killed because he was going to take stuff public in some way that was a predictable disaster.

If I go back and study the stuff that was kept secret during WWII, and assume that similar situations are ongoing today, then things starts making sense.

We are NEVER going to ban these vaccines. IMO they would rather disclose the truth and endure the resulting societal problems, than lose the military edge that genetic vaccines provide in hypothetical conflicts.

But whatever. We need to keep doing our thing to minimize the blowback, IMO. But not having the “gun/shield” is not an option.

Wolf Moon Reply to  PAVACA

You yourself have published the truth about the HHS/DoD connection. We all know that DoD and HHS have been joined at the hip on bioweapons for decades. I doubt that there was even military unanimity on the idea of Fauci and HHS moving experiments to Wuhan being a good idea or a bad idea. I suspect there are varying levels of realism on mRNA vaccines.

And yes, in these hypotheses, I assume Fauci was the guy who was “read in” on whatever is really going on.

Not everybody who supports mRNA vaccines has the same motivation for supporting them. Many people believe all the narrative BS that the media spits out. But then add people who discern varying levels of badness of the vaccines, and who then have varying levels of tolerance on that.

I don’t think anybody except embedded depoppers, ChiComs, and a few others are “fine” with the casualties of the clot shot. But I do think there are people in the system who know how bad it is, but who also know why that badness is being tolerated.

Wolf Moon  Reply to  TheseTruths

I’m not trying to discourage people. I’m trusting Trump, AND Bobby Kennedy, and simultaneously trying to explain why they’re allowing a marginal but potentially critical vaccine technology to be developed.

And if I’m right about this, it’s a lot more important than an election. I don’t LIKE that, but it’s true. A “humanity-clearing virus” with 80+% mortality being stopped in its tracks by a vaccine with a COVID-level death rate (or a COVID vaccine-level death rate – pretty similar) – that’s a win, if we’re ever in that position.

That’s cold, hard science. It’s not pretty, but it has to be considered.

Frontiers are not safe. At the same time we were developing the American frontier, we had “early” anesthesia. Ether, chloroform, and others. It was DANGEROUS as hell. We also had rapid amputations with saws. Same. But it was better than the alternative.

Right now – with all the flaws of the mRNA vaccines, if there is suddenly an “airborne Ebola”, then our having the ability to create a working and deliverable vaccine in under 24 hours is a huge, huge, huge military advantage in SAVING AMERICA. Maybe saving humanity.

Obviously, WE should not be making that virus. But WE don’t control other people on the planet (honestly, we can’t even control our own), and if there ARE “people” not on this planet who have more advanced technology, well, we don’t control them, either.

So, IMO, the bad (side effects) but good (fast) mRNA technology needs to move forward. I just think we need to be more honest about why we’re doing it. The REASONS of speed and simplicity have been mentioned. The reasons behind those have not.

I refuse to believe Trump is stupid about this, and that Bobby Kennedy has turned into a polar opposite on vaccines. Something is up. And these hypotheses explain it.

Wolf Moon  Reply to  TheseTruths

It is all food for thought.

Thanks for thinking about it. It’s not easy, but it bears consideration by more minds to see if it makes sense.

I’ve done a lot of thinking to try to solve the riddle of Trump’s enigmatic vax position, but Bobby Kennedy gave me another equation to work with, and that allowed me to see some potential solutions. Mix in the military’s shadowy support for the entire thing, without knee-jerking that they’re Satan-worshiping DARPA baddies, and suddenly some rational possibilities come into view.

There are times that the entire COVID psy-op struck me as a bit of a live drill, and while I think that idea is far too simplistic, I do think that people advising Trump have surely been doing so from literal Q-clearance knowledge that can’t go public.

For instance (and this is also to share some mRNA knowledge) it is entirely possible that our military KNEW in 2018-2019 that there would eventually be another pathogen lab leak, likely significant, and in top military manner, we had prepared for it. The best tech for rapid response on a proven platform, though not using proven-safe protein targets, had to have been the mRNA technology, IMO, despite all its flaws, problems, and unknown risks. On paper, it’s the best. Yeah, it doesn’t guarantee a shut-off of production. Yeah, it makes errors because of N1-methylpseudouridine. Yeah, it has toxicity problems in the LNPs. Yeah, it goes to bad places it shouldn’t go. Everything we’ve discussed.

BUT we know that the baseline badness of side effects is probably only one or two orders of magnitude worse than our “best” vaccines. For some unknown future disease where the death rate exceeds that from the clot shot itself, AND the saving of lives due to fast action is exponential, mRNA shots will clearly have a desirable total life-saving yield. They won’t do it as safely as a traditional vaccine using a protein immunogen, but they will start saving lives sooner and faster. This can be easily modeled.

This would have been more obvious if Omicron had not saved us from Delta, with the latter being about as pathogenic as Original Wuhan, and it would have been completely clear if there had been no mutation of Wuhan, because in that case we might have seen permanent immunity from the vax.

All that said, we must (IMO) keep pointing out the deficiencies of the mRNA technology. I suspect there are limits to how much improvement is possible, so we cannot delude ourselves if these remain sub-par vaccines compared to protein technologies. We cannot let lies about mRNA technology, nor even its potential heroic use in a truly apocalyptic biological event, blind us to the reality that old-style vaccines are and likely will remain superior.

However, I think that it would be wonderful if somebody “on our side” were able to outline the highly theoretical risk-benefit curves, where mRNA vaccines might save lives sooner and bigger at high pathogenicity, but are demonstrably sub-optimal at low pathogenicity, thereby framing both the negatives and positives of the technology in a way that allows us to make peace with each other. In that case, RFKJ’s wisdom of allowing mRNA to go forward, but under increased scrutiny and deference to sound scientific results, will prove historically correct, IMO.

I’ll just say right off the bat that I don’t expect anybody here to believe any of these hypotheses – and I do call them hypotheses, because I’m not locked in on any of them. And just for further clarification, I’m not certain that anything you’re additionally speculating as being implied, is actually implied, or is intended by me to be implied, but you are welcome to digest what I say in any way that makes sense to you, no problem.

These are very loose hypotheses, designed around the idea that much of what we are seeing is the result of secrecy that is both constraining and manipulating President Trump and Bobby Kennedy.

I remain uncertain whether Trump was actually read in on anything potentially related to these hypotheses during his first term, but the suspicion that he (45) was NOT – and later (47) WAS – looms large to me as a handy explanation of otherwise inexplicable things. Indeed, I further suspect that Obama and Brennan’s plot to raise “Russia, Russia, Russia” suspicions about Trump was designed to make sure Trump could not be informed about certain things.

In the beginning of the “pandemic”, Trump had to act on uncertainty – uncertainty about many things, including the origin of the virus, the motivations of all the players behind it, the science itself, and even the actual lethality of the virus. I don’t know what he was told that was classified at the time, but I suspect he WAS informed of SOME classified things in SOME areas. That is a multi-dimensional continuum – not a binary.

I suspect his context for decisions included some, but not all, classified aspects. All I know is that I trust that Trump did the best he could with what he was given.

….

To me, this indicates the Malthusians aka British Empire has been in control. And to some extent still is. (See my Depop series especially Kissinger’s National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200.) Remember Kissinger said point blank during a Chatham House speech, he kept the Brits better informed than our US State Dept. Also Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum was a protegee of Kissinger.

YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT DR. ERICA SCHWARTZ, MD, Rear Adm (ret) WHEN SHE WAS CONFIRMED AS THE NEW CDC DIRECTOR — THE “QUEEN OF VACCINES.” THE “ENFORCER” OF THE PENTAGON’S COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINE” MANDATE ON THE U.S.MILITARY.

YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT HOW HHS SEC. KENNEDY, JR., WAS BEING HOBBLED AND IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS.

See below: https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/staggering-surrender-cdc-pushes-covid-vaccines-healthy-people-label

My SWAG is Schwartz is placed within the government so she will most likely have to answer questions from Congress unlike Fauci.

Brave AI

 Refusing to testify without a valid legal basis is itself the offense.  Under 2 U.S.C. § 192, willfully failing to appear after a valid congressional subpoena, or refusing to answer pertinent questions once there, is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine. 

The CRS puts it plainly: a subpoena recipient “has a legal obligation to comply, absent a valid and overriding privilege or other legal justification.” So the legal basis is the only shield.  If an official can’t point to one — the Fifth Amendment, executive privilege, a recognized separation-of-powers conflict (e.g., the Secretary of State appearing at a major diplomatic event), attorney-client privilege, etc. — the refusal is contempt.

In practice, Congress has several enforcement levers when an official refuses without a valid basis:

She is also military so indictment would be via a military tribunal avoiding the Woke judges & juries of DC. It also allows RICO as she CONTINUES her pushing of the Clot Shots. (The five year window for the military is fast closing.)

In order to not clutter up this article, I removed a collection of VARIOUS COMMENTS ABOUT THE CLOT SHOT AND mRNA VACCINES. If Treepers wish I can put them in a separate article so they do not get lost. They would have doubled the length of this article.

CORN & BIO-FUEL

2008 The Clean Energy Scam — TIME in parnership with CNN

(Time & CNN, ROTFLMAO!)

The Clean Energy Scam – The U.S. quintupled its production of ethanol–ethyl alcohol, a fuel distilled from plant matter–in the past decade, and Washington has just mandated another fivefold increase in renewable fuels over the next decade. Europe has similarly aggressive biofuel mandates and subsidies, and Brazil’s filling stations no longer even offer plain gasoline. Worldwide investment in biofuels rose from $5 billion in 1995 to $38 billion in 2005 and is expected to top $100 billion by 2010, thanks to investors like Richard Branson and George Soros, GE and BP, Ford and Shell, Cargill and the Carlyle Group.

2011 Industrial Agriculture’s Water Use: It’s Time for Change. Mother Earth News

Much of the water used to irrigate corn and refine ethanol is drawn from the ever-threatened Ogallala aquifer, which runs beneath eight western U.S. states and provides nearly a third of all U.S. irrigation water…

 The handful of giant agribusinesses and food processing companies that dominate the food chain keep farm prices low, which only pushes farmers to produce more. Most farmers resort to water-intensive and chemical-dependent practices to sell enough farm products to make a living.  

In the United States and around the world, only a few companies sell the seeds, buy the harvests, slaughter the livestock, and turn farm products into the food consumers buy. Farms that are far away from wealthy metropolitan areas are especially dependent on agribusiness buyers. The four largest firms in the United States slaughter 84 percent of the cattle, crush 80 percent of the soybeans and process 66 percent of the hogs. Even in recent years, when prices were higher, the few companies that sold seeds, fertilizers and fuel could jack up their prices, so higher production costs gobbled most of the gains from increased farm prices. Two corn seed firms (Monsanto and DuPont’s Pioneer Hi-Bred) control about 60 percent of the seed market and 80 percent of U.S. corn is grown from Monsanto-patented seed traits. In 2009 and 2010, the leading corn seed companies raised prices between 20 and 40 percent…

I could write an entire article on the bio-fuel scam and WHO benefits. Instead a few points. Fruits and veggies do not get USDA subsidies grains do. That means feed lot cows are subsidized by US tax payers making feed lots cheaper than grass. Many grains are GMO so the seed has to be bought each season, as well as the fertilizer & insecticides. Again ALL is tax payers funding Big Ag with the farmer as the conduit.

Understanding Nutrient Requirements for High-Yielding Corn

Typical fertilization for corn in the United States is 180 lbs of N, 90 lbs of P 2 O 5 and 160 lbs of K 2 0 per acre, with no S or micronutrients.

Hemp is a alternative source of bio-fuel.

Hemp Biofuel: Is This the Answer to Environmental Crisis? Royal Queen Seeds

…Using hemp for ethanol production curbs the potential problem of using too many food sources like corn and wheat. Ultimately, this makes food production more efficient while also minimising its disruption.

At the same time, hemp is much easier to grow compared to other food crops. They’re like weeds that can thrive in lower-quality conditions.

Hemp biodiesel also has a higher flash point, aka the temperature at which it ignites. Because of this, it is much easier to store, transport, and handle overall…

When it comes to hemp, there is a lot of conflict about fertilizers. Probably because it has a variety of uses.

Hemp Fertilizers – Do You Need a Special Kind?

Hemp is not a particularly demanding crop when it comes to fertilizer requirements. In fact, hemp is known to be quite tolerant of poor soil conditions.

Growing Industrial Hemp as an Organic – Rodale Institute

The use of no-tillage strategies without any weed control measures can be detrimental to hemp stand establishment. Nitrogen fertilization up to 150 kg ha–1 can increase fiber and seed yield. Leguminous cover crops can supply adequate nitrogen to hemp without supplemental fertilization as indicated by similar yields among nitrogen rates in treatments that included hairy vetch and winter pea. Although hemp density was low in the no-till cover crop treatment, greater bast fiber yield per stalk significantly increased the total fiber yield, making it comparable to conventional tillage treatments. This suggests that cover crops can be considered a positive investment for hemp production…

The crop is photoperiod sensitive and is typically a short-day plant. Hemp responds well to elevated CO2 and temperature levels in the context of current climate change scenarios and is a water-efficient crop…

Growers can take herbicides and other costly weed control measures off their inventory because hemp is a smoother crop and rapidly produces a dense canopy that suppresses weeds. This makes it a perfect choice for organic production. 

Let’s save American hemp

What Is Industrial Hemp? Definition, Uses & U.S. Rules

 Industrial hemp is Cannabis sativa L. grown commercially for fiber, grain/seed, and other lawful products, with U.S. federal law defining compliance through THC testing and licensing. USDA hemp production · Hemp vs. marijuana vs. CBD · Hemp University

An exceptionally versatile plant, industrial hemp has a wide range of industrial and everyday household uses, and the commercial market for hemp products is booming worldwide. Products made from hemp are considered long-lasting and eco-friendly. Hemp derived CBD products are also proving to be incredible for our health and well being. It is not What is Hemp but what can hemp do for us in our quest for sustainability!…

With the passage of the Farm Bill in 2018, hemp cultivation has commenced in numerous states. Yet, the question extends beyond mere definition; it’s now about understanding what hemp can do for individuals and our environment, and what we can do to harness its potential. Now, hemp oils, CBD, hemp plastics, hemp building materials, and various hemp fiber products are readily available in the market.

Hemp is the low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant, containing minimal THC content as mandated by federal law—specifically less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. This distinction ensures that industrial hemp does not induce any psychoactive effects associated with marijuana. However, hemp and marijuana often face confusion, which can be clarified through our hemp vs. marijuana page….

Dec 19, 2025 — President Trump’s Executive Order to Save Hemp

PRESIDENT TRUMP DIRECTED CONGRESS TO FIX HEMP. NOW THEY MUST ACT.

President Trump issued an executive order directing Congress to reconsider the classification of hemp-derived products to ensure Americans, like our seniors, can access hemp-derived products they have found beneficial while still protecting children. The President gave clear direction. Now Congress must follow through. The McConnell-Harris hemp restrictions threaten to destroy 325,000 American jobs, devastate thousands of farmers and small businesses, and deny seniors access to CBD products that President Trump wants them to have. President Trump provided the solution: protect children through regulation while preserving consumer access to beneficial CBD and hemp-derived products. The hemp industry has offered exactly the common-sense regulations President Trump’s order calls for: -Age restrictions (21+) to protect children -Mandatory third-party laboratory testing for safety -Clear, uniform labeling for informed choices -Child-resistant packaging standards Contact your Representative and Senators today. Tell them to immediately act on President Trump’s executive order, fix the McConnell-Harris hemp ban, and implement the common-sense regulations that protect farmers, small business owners, consumers, and children. Let’s save American hemp and tell Congress to act on President Trump’s directive.

Congress pushes hemp crackdown after pressure from states

A provision significantly limiting the sale of intoxicating hemp products made its way into legislation to reopen the federal government just a day before the Senate approved the bill. Its inclusion follows years of pressure from states and the marijuana industry.

While states continue to expand access to legal marijuana, a separate market of hemp-derived intoxicants has blossomed. The products, from drinks to gummies, are sold in gas stations and smoke shops. Critics say some companies have exploited a legal loophole from 2018 to manufacture products that get people high — without the safety regulations and taxes facing the legal marijuana industry.

That’s led dozens of states to limit or ban certain intoxicating hemp products. Most states also have pushed for federal changes, though some farm states worry the pending federal bill — which the House is expected to vote on as soon as today — goes too far.

A bipartisan group of 39 state attorneys general recently urged Congress to clarify the federal definition of hemp, arguing that the underregulated industry threatens public health and undermines law enforcement…

Senate Rejects Attempt To Save Hemp Industry

The Senate has rejected an amendment to a critical spending bill that would have removed language to ban hemp products containing THC.

After the chamber cleared the appropriations minibus package for floor consideration on Sunday, senators on Monday took up the measure from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that he said would prevent the eradication of the hemp market that’s matured since the crop’s federal legalization under the 2018 Farm Bill.

The amendment was killed in a 76-24 vote on a motion to table.

“My amendment would strip the provision designed to regulate the hemp industry to death. The bill, as it now stands, overrides the regulatory frameworks of several states, cancels the collective decisions of hemp consumers and destroys the livelihoods of hemp farmers,” Paul said on the floor ahead of the vote. “And it couldn’t come at a worse time for America’s farmers. Times are tough for our farmers.”…

How about we outlaw the Senate instead? They certainly have been ANTI-AMERICAN!

Cannabis as a treatment for COVID-19

(I used to have the scientific study but brave bookmarks lost it.)

CBD Oil: What are 9 Proven or Possible Health Benefits

Cannabis is a plant, and there are two main types, Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Sativa. Both marijuana and CBD can be derived from both types, but hemp is only derived from Cannabis Sativa. By law, hemp must contain no more than 0.3% THC…

 CBD has been credited with relieving numerous medical conditions, such as epilepsy, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia, and pain. Although “credited” does not mean proven. Because of the historical regulatory landscape, there are hardly any well-conducted trials backing up those claims, although research is expected to ramp up now that laws distinguish between hemp and marijuana.

We look at nine medical conditions where CBD may be, or, has already proven to be, beneficial.

1. Epilepsy

In June 2018, the FDA approved Epidiolex (a plant-based formulation of CBD) to treat seizures for people 2 years of age and older with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which are two rare forms of epilepsy… [ I have 2 friends that use it for epilepsy with sucess]

2. Pain

Animal studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory effects and works on the endocannabinoid and pain-sensing systems to relieve pain… [I got off of NSAIDs by using CBD oil.]

3. Arthritis

Animal studies showed that topical CBD applications relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis with few side effects…

4. Anxiety

Pretreatment with 300mg CBD significantly relieved anxiety in 57 healthy males who undertook a simulated public speaking test. However, dosages of 150mg CBD and 600mg CBD did not make any difference to the men’s anxiety levels.7

So CBD threatens Big Pharma. However I found this part of my research ‘interesting’

Industrial uses of Hemp

The Wonders of Industrial Hemp: Versatile and Eco-Friendly — Amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com

Amstedam is the Capital of the Netherlands

The versatility of industrial hemp extends beyond its use as a raw material. 

Unleashing a New Wave of Sustainable Practices with Industrial Hemp

Industrial hemp, this incredible plant, stands tall as an embodiment of versatility. A crop whose potential extends far beyond its rustic exterior, transforming into an eco-friendly powerhouse with an impressive array of applications spanning numerous industries…

Industrial hemp, scientifically known as Cannabis sativa L., has served humanity for centuries, providing fiber, food, and medicinal benefits. Today, its role has expanded, becoming increasingly important as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution within various industries.

By integrating hemp into numerous manufacturing processes, industries can lessen their dependence on non-renewable resources and significantly reduce their environmental footprint. The inherent versatility and functional characteristics of hemp make it an ideal candidate for substitution, driving it to the forefront of sustainable development.

Moreover, hemp cultivation offers additional benefits such as soil remediation. By absorbing toxins and replenishing soil nutrients, hemp promotes healthier soils, which in turn, benefit subsequent crops…

Corporate giants such as Ford Motors, Patagonia, and The Body Shop have already recognized the profound potential of this sustainable resource, utilizing hemp seed, fiber, and oil as fundamental raw materials in their product lines. This level of corporate adoption serves as a testament to the staggering potential that industrial hemp offers as an environmentally conscious substitute for other resources.

Below are a few ways industrial hemp is already making its mark across industries:

  1. Automotive, Railway, Aviation, and Aerospace: These industries are progressively embracing hemp-derived products as substitutes for traditional plastic materials. Hemp’s lightweight yet durable nature and biodegradable properties position it as a superior alternative to conventional plastics.
  2. Cosmetics and Personal Care: The nutritive richness of hemp seed oil has found applications in numerous industrial and cosmetic products. From soaps and shampoos to other personal care items, the moisturizing properties and skin-nourishing abilities of hemp seed oil make it a coveted ingredient within the cosmetics and personal care sectors.
  3. Textiles, Fabrics, and Paper Manufacturing: Hemp fiber’s application in the production of textiles, fabrics, and paper is truly a game-changer. It offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional textile materials, requiring less water and fewer pesticides during cultivation, with the added advantage of being easily recyclable…

Industrial Hemp Uses: Fibre, Paper, Materials — Justbob Lyon France.

Reading industrial hemp uses across fibre, paper and materials

Industrial hemp is one of the oldest agricultural crops on the European continent. Beyond the modern cannabinoid catalog, the plant supplies fibre for textiles and ropes, hurd for construction biocomposites, paper for specialty applications and seed fractions for the wider agricultural framework. This Justbob guide walks through industrial hemp uses sector by sector, with the regulatory framework that connects the cultivation side to each application…

Industrial hemp uses cover the non-cannabinoid applications of Cannabis sativa L. cultivated under the EU industrial hemp framework. The main categories include textiles (canvas, rope, twine and modern fabrics), paper (specialty applications), construction biocomposites (hempcrete walls, insulation panels), automotive components (door panels and trim parts), agricultural substrates (animal bedding and horticulture) and biorefinery feedstock…

Textile applications: from canvas to modern fabrics

Textile production is one of the oldest documented uses of hemp fibre in European industry. Canvas, the heavy fabric traditionally used for sails, tents, and painting supports; rope, widely used in maritime, agricultural, and construction settings; twine, commonly found in packaging, gardening, and crafts; and modern technical fabrics all rely on the bast fibre extracted from the hemp stem.

The mechanical properties of hemp textile fibre are well documented. The tensile strength supports applications where durability matters more than a fine weave, while its natural resistance to mildew and pests adds value in maritime and outdoor settings. Its breathability and moisture handling propriety make hemp textile interesting for modern clothing and home textiles.

Paper applications: specialty papers and durability

Paper applications represent another long-standing industrial use of hemp. The long bast fibres give hemp paper a stronger tensile profile and a longer fibre length than typical wood-pulp paper, making it suitable for specialty applications where these properties are particularly valuable.

Documented use cases include banknotes, where the strong tensile profile and the resistance to repeated handling are well suited to the application; archival papers (the low lignin content supports long-term stability; and technical papers, including filter papers, art papers, and thin technical papers. Hemp paper is also a feedstock for some specialty paper producers in France and Italy that supply niche markets.

The USDA published the foundational bulletin Hemp Hurds as Paper-Making Material in 1916, documenting the technical feasibility of hemp paper at industrial scale. The bulletin is still referenced in contemporary hemp economy literature as one of the early modern studies on this application.

Hempcrete and construction biocomposites

Hempcrete is the most visible modern application of hemp hurd in construction. This biocomposite combines hemp hurd with a lime binder to produce wall infill, insulation and structural-light applications. The French Isochanvre product was introduced around 1986 as one of the first commercial hempcrete formulations…

WHY THE ORIGINAL ATTACK ON HEMP?

There was a comment about Hemp on WUWT by Dr Brown in August of 2013. He refers to something Dr Judith Curry said that I can no longer find.

[I do not have the origin of this quote]

The story goes …Dupont had patented nylon, and wanted hemp removed as competition….

Why is Marijuana Illegal?

Its said that industrial hemp converts CO2 to oxygen better than trees.

‘Do you have a link?’

[Hemp “more effective than trees” at carbon storage –2021Cambridge Univ]

I havn’t come across anything tangible (of an academic nature) but there must be tons out there. I’ll keep looking, but in the meantime here are some numbers from HempNews.

‘It follows that every tonne of industrial hemp stems contains 0.445 tonnes Carbon absorbed from the atmosphere (44.46% of stem dry weight).

‘Converting Carbon to CO2 (12T of C equals 44T of CO2(IPCC)), that represents 1.63 tonnes of CO2 absorption per tonne of UK Hemp stem harvested. On a land use basis, using Hemcore’s yield averages (5.5 to 8 T/ha), this represents 8.9 to 13.4 tonnes of CO2 absorption per hectare of UK Hemp Cultivation.

‘For the purposes estimation, we use an average figure of 10T/ha of CO2 absorption, a figure we hold to be a reasonably conservative estimate. This is used to predict carbon yields, but CO2 offsets will be based on dry weight yields as measured at the weighbridge.

‘The roots and leaf mulch (not including the hard to measure fibrous root material) left in situ represented approximately 20% of the mass of the harvested material in HGS’ initial field trials. The resulting Carbon content absorbed but remaining in the soil, will therefore be approximately 0.084 tonnes per tonne of harvested material. (42% w/w) (5).

‘Using Hemcore’s UK yield estimates (5.5 – 8 T/ha) this represents 0.46 to 0.67 tonnes of Carbon per hectare (UK) absorbed but left in situ after Hemp cultivation.’ [So in 2013 the UK was growing hemp but it was banned in the USA.]


Dr Brown rgbatduke said on August 22, 2013 at 5:44 am

Judith Curry’s remarks, as usual, are dead on the money. Here’s an almost perfectly analogous problem: CNN recently completely reversed its editorial policy and now calls for the legalization of Marijuana. Sanjay Gupta, its “resident physician editorialist”, who had previously somewhat vigorously led this opposition from the scientific point of view completely reversed his own position, and explained why in considerable detail both in text and in online video.


Historically, marijuana was both legal and considered to be a useful medicine all the way up through the beginning of the twentieth century. At that point, William Randolph Hearst had invested heavily in pine forests in Mexico, intending to sell them to his own newspapers to make newsprint. The Dupont family were discovering petrochemicals including plastic and oil-derived pharmaceuticals. A machine was invented that was the equivalent of a “cotton gin” for hemp — it mechanically stripped down the hemp plant and turned it into useful fiber, oil, and vegetable waste that could be used as an animal fodder (yes, we can imagine some very happy cows, can’t we?:-). One of many uses for the now inexpensive hemp fiber was to make equally inexpensive newsprint paper that was clearly superior in quality and cost to wood pulp paper. Another was that the oils and fiber could be used to synthesize various chemical products. Both Dupont and Hearst were suddenly hundreds of millions of dollars at risk.


They turned to Harry Anslinger, who happened to be Hearst’s brother in law. Anslinger was a suddenly idle ex-prohibitionist working for the FBI, and he created a propaganda campaign that portrayed hemp as literally maddening those that actually smoked it, leading them to commit acts of rape and robbery and moral turpitude. At the same time, political revolutions in Mexico (funded and fought by a private army belonging to Hearst) and a negative portrayal of blacks and mexicans as common users of hemp for recreation purposes added a useful racist hook. Between these, congress outlawed hemp.


So matters remained until the Viet Nam war and the 1960s and early 70s. As part of the quiet “revolution” against what many perceived as a military-industrial complex with a life of its own that was fighting a series of expensive and pointless wars, pot had become “the” recreational drug of choice among young hippies and freaks as well as the military draftees who fought the war. Its use was so prevalent that Texas dropped the question about cannabis use from its entrance exam to police academy, because “asking a vet of they had ever smoked pot was like asking them if they smoked Camels”. Suddenly a large fraction of an entire generation of U.S. citizens had smoked pot and discovered that no, it does not turn you into a crazed rapist, and usually does not make you insane unless you are most of the way there on your own already. They also discovered that it is neither physically addictive nor dangerous in the sense that it is literally impossible to overdose on marijuana — it is literally one of the safest compounds we know of, with no meaningful fatal dose.


However, Ronald Reagan took office in the 80’s, an immediately declared a “War on Drugs”. Marijuana was reclassified as a schedule 1 narcotic by the federal government, trumping communities that had already begun to experiment with decriminalization or even legalization. This once again gave law enforcement agencies lots of useful work (helpful if you are trying to build a police state), gave cops everywhere the ability to selectively enforce drug laws and thereby control the populace, and caused us to rather suddenly need to build enormous numbers of prisons because it rapidly turned out that by making marijuana trafficking a felony and putting even mere users in jail (just like heroin, cocaine, and actually dangerous drugs) somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of all prison sentences were being handed down for low grade drug offenses. Our expenditure on controlling pot went from next to nothing to tens of billions of dollars a year. Obviously, many profited from this, including (as usual) the money launderers and organized criminals that made fortunes providing marijuana on the black market, and the politicians and bankers that provided well-paid-for top cover.


And now to the interesting bit (although I think all of the above is interesting:-). One of the reasons given for making marijuana a schedule 1 felony class drug was that we didn’t know about the harm it might cause, and there was no known medical benefit. Yes, it had been used as a medicine for centuries, the founding fathers literally “mandated” the growing of hemp on American farms because it was so useful a plant both industrially and medicinally, but we had entered the era of double blind placebo controlled drug trials, and there were now enormous pharmaceutical companies whose billion-dollar products were at risk, dwarfing even the Duponts’ complaint back in the 30’s. Its risks were similarly unstudied.


A period of research then ensued. If you wanted to study pot, you had to both get funded and get the experimental marijuana from a single, small farm in Mississippi that grew “legal” pot for this purpose. The government itself was in complete control, in other words of what research got conducted, because even if you could find outside funding, you couldn’t get legal pot to do the research with without approval.


Gupta initially opposed marijuana legalization because a review of the medical literature showed him that 96% of all published articles found some sort of negative effect of marijuana, and almost no articles showed a benefit, especially compared to existing approved medications. However, a couple of anecdotal cases coming out of the states that had legalized medicinal marijuana in SPITE of the federal governments laws caused him to go back and reexamine the funding model. In retrospect it shouldn’t have been surprising, but he learned that 96% of all funded research was to look for negative effects of marijuana, and that to get funded and permission to get government grown pot was so difficult that there simply weren’t all that many papers in the first place. In well over thirty years of intensive examination, all of the examination was literally preselected to find problems, almost none to find benefits, and one had to walk on water and push much paper to do either one (and relatively few scientists had bothered).


That caused him to examine the body of emerging, still anecdotal, evidence from the states that had legalized medical marijuana. They showed that — again unsurprisingly — marijuana is a rich pharmacopeia with multiple legitimate medical uses that could survived double blind placebo controlled investigation, while at the same time having minimal side effects and no known lethal dose. Perhaps he came to realize that its negative effects might, conceivably, have been a bit exaggerated or might arise from confounding uncontrolled elements. Confirmation bias is, after all, the bete noir of science.


This situation almost perfectly matches the evolution of “climate science”. Nobody cared about it for decades, but suddenly a group of individuals emerged that all benefited from the demonization of carbon. This included environmental groups, that hated civilization itself and the burning of anything (as long, of course, as their own lifestyle was preserved), energy producers that saw in this the opportunity to triple or quadruple their profits by creating artificial scarcity of a plentiful resource, politicians that saw in this the opportunity to raise taxes, get elected on a world-saving “issue”, and perhaps line their own pockets along the way, and a United Nations that saw an opportunity to transform it into a way to tax the rich nations and transfer money to developing nations (while again lining various pockets along the way). The role of Anslinger was admirably met by one James Hansen, a True Believer who never stinted and does not stint today in exaggerating the data and claims of disaster (five meter sea level rise! temperatures like that on Venus!). And suddenly, quite literally all funded research was on how burning carbon was bad for the climate.


Even completely ethical scientists have to eat, and if the only way they can eat is to get funded, and the only way they can get funded is to submit proposals that seek to prove that CO_2 is bad, guess what they will propose to study? And if they want to get funded AGAIN, guess what they will find? Climate science has been effectively corrupted beyond any hope of objectivity.


On the good side of things, scientists are actually usually pretty ethical. Also, in the end data talks, bullshit walks. The hypothesis of CAGW or CACC could, in fact, be true (across a wide spectrum of the meaning of “true”, in fact). However, recent data is not in good correspondence with the theories that have predicted it, and many good scientists are in the process of reassessing their conclusions. As is the almost simultaneous case with regard to marijuana, the confounding evidence is starting to overwhelm to narrowly funded and directed arguments to date. We will see where the future takes us, in both cases.

re: rgbatduke’s extended history at August 22, 2013 at 5:44 am:

One correction – Nixon is the moron who declared a “War on Drugs”. Congress made marijuana into a Schedule I narcotic in 1970. Pres Reagan may be guilty of a lot but he is innocent of that particular charge above.

Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in ’74

In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice. But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed its results, which were never replicated — until now.

The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.

The Madrid study marks only the second time that THC has been administered to tumor-bearing animals; the first was a Virginia investigation 26 years ago. In both studies, the THC shrank or destroyed tumors in a majority of the test subjects.

Most Americans don’t know anything about the Madrid discovery. Virtually no major U.S. newspapers carried the story, which ran only once on the AP and UPI news wires, on Feb. 29, 2000…

2008 — The Greatest Story Never Told

Smoking Cannabis Does Not Cause Cancer
Of Lung or Upper Airways, Tashkin Finds;
Data Suggest Possible Protective Effect

The story summarized by that headline ran in O’Shaughnessy’s (Autumn 2005), CounterPunch, and the Anderson Valley Advertiser. Did we win Pulitzers, dude? No, the story was ignored or buried by the corporate media. It didn’t even make the “Project Censored” list of under-reported stories for 2005. “We were even censored by Project Censored,” said Tod Mikuriya, who liked his shot of wry. 

It’s not that the subject is trivial. One in three Americans will be afflicted with cancer, we are told by the government (as if it’s our immutable fate and somehow acceptable). Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. and lung cancer the leading killer among cancers. You’d think it would have been very big news when UCLA medical school professor Donald Tashkin revealed that components of marijuana smoke -although they damage cells in respiratory tissue- somehow prevent them from becoming malignant. In other words, something in marijuana exerts an anti-cancer effect.

Tashkin has special credibility. He was the lead investigator on studies dating back to the 1970s that identified the components in marijuana smoke that are toxic. It was Tashkin et al who published photomicrographs showing that marijuana smoke damages cells lining the upper airways. It was the Tashkin lab reporting that benzpyrene -a component of tobacco smoke that plays a role in most lung cancers- is especially prevalent in marijuana smoke. It was Tashkin’s data documenting that marijuana smokers are more likely than non-smokers to cough, wheeze, and produce sputum.

Tashkin reviewed his findings April 4 at a conference organized by “Patients Out of Time,” a reform group devoted to educating doctors and the public (as opposed to lobbying politicians). Some 30 MDs and nurses got continuing medical education credits for attending… [long article]

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.

Do not underestimate Scott Bessent, Iran!

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.

Dr. Fauci’s Disturbing CIA Connection Revealed

If you didn’t already have enough reasons to distrust Dr. Anthony Fauci, here’s a new one, and it’s a doozy.

Newly disclosed documents reveal that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had a formal institutional partnership with the CIA, one that provided cover for the agency’s biological-threat research. This goes well beyond the previously known off-the-books meetings tied to the Wuhan lab origins controversy. Fauci’s ties to American intelligence run far deeper than anyone outside a handful of investigators realized….


Anthony Fauci – Wikipedia


Anthony Stephen Fauci (born December 24, 1940) is an American physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022 and as Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022. He was one of the world’s most frequently cited scientists across all scientific journals from 1983 to 2002.

In 1984 Ronald Reagan was re-elected and his VP was George H. W. Bush of the CIA.

Since the FDA, USDA, EPA and other bureaucracies use ‘The Science ™‘ to validate their regulations I wanted to look at the history of the destruction of science over the last century.

1964 — The Problem-Solving Method They Removed From Every Textbook


In 1964, Richard Feynman was the only person on California’s textbook commission who actually read the textbooks. What he found should have ended careers — publishers sending blank books that still received ratings, first-grade science texts teaching children nothing but empty vocabulary, and an entire system designed to reward memorization over real understanding.This video breaks down Feynman’s forgotten problem-solving framework — the same approach he used to win the Nobel Prize, expose broken education systems from California to Brazil, and coin the term “Cargo Cult Science” in his legendary 1974 Caltech commencement speech.You’ll learn his 12 favorite problems technique (explained by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota), why estimating before calculating is the single most underrated thinking skill, and how to tell the difference between someone who memorized the answer and someone who actually understands the problem — a distinction that matters more now than ever, because AI can memorize everything, but it can’t think from scratch.

If you’ve ever felt out of step with the system — at school, at work, in a meeting where nobody could answer the question that wasn’t on the slides — this video explains why. And it gives you a method to fix it tonight.🔹 Drop your own “label instead of an explanation” moment in the comments.——————————————————📖

Part of the Transcript:

16:37

The reason you always felt out of step with the system is because the system was designed to produce the opposite of you. It produces people who follow the process perfectly right up until reality changes and then they freeze. You’ve seen it in hiring. The candidate with the perfect resume who can’t answer a simple what-if question in the interview. You’ve seen it in leadership. The director who can quote the strategy deck word for word but goes blank when a client throws a curveball.

The system trained them to memorize the runway, not to fly the plane.

Feynman left behind the method the system tried to bury.

— 12 problems always alive.

— Strip every claim down to what you can check.

— Estimate before you calculate.

— Test your understanding by rephrasing the question.

— If you can’t answer it in different words, you never understood it in the first place.

That’s it. That’s what they removed. And now you have it back.

But Feynman’s war on the textbooks exposed something bigger than bad education. He found the same pattern in science, in hiring, in way entire industries collapse when nobody inside them can think from scratch. And when he called it out by name, in front of the most powerful people in the room, they didn’t thank him. [Managed decline anyone? -GC]

ROBERT MAXWELL

Which specific U.S. school textbook companies were owned by Robert Maxwell or his companies?

The Deal That Reshaped the Market: Maxwell Buys Macmillan and Joins McGraw‑Hill

Robert Maxwell purchased Macmillan Inc. in the late 1980s, a transaction that positioned him as owner of one of the United States’ largest textbook publishers at the time; reporting from the period documents the acquisition and the creation of a joint venture combining Macmillan’s school publishing units with McGraw‑Hill’s to form Macmillan/McGraw‑Hill School Publishing Co. in 1989, a company that became the second‑largest U.S. textbook publisher [1] [2]. The joint venture pooled Macmillan imprints like Glencoe and units such as Science Research Associates (SRA) into a single school publishing operation, reflecting Maxwell’s strategy of consolidating academic and educational assets under his Maxwell Communication Corporation umbrella, and contemporary sources note that McGraw‑Hill assumed sole ownership of the joint operation by 1993 after Maxwell’s death, indicating the Maxwell family no longer retained operational control

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

ERIC: … Maxwell figured out how to DESTROY SCIENCE and MAKE A FORTUNE. So he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals. This was a high quality informal enterprise. Now most of the destruction of science in terms of how high quality it used to be, has taken place relatively recently. POST ROBERT MAXWELL. Because we now have an enormous number of journals staffed by people who can’t spot publication cartels, where we agree to cite each others work and we agree to publish stuff, you know Pay for Play. ALL the nonsense you see with irreproducible research…

The peer review thing got woven in so that people think that the scientific method and peer review ARE THE SAME THING. Where ONE IS THE UNWANTED INFECTION FROM THE BIOLOGICAL BIOMEDICAL UNIVERSE, which had peer review much longer than anything else…”

From the article:

One of these ideas is what he calls👉the DISC (Distributed Idea Suppression Complex) which explains how disruptive and innovative ideas that challenge the status quo are suppressed.👈 Keeping institutions safe from individuals who create change….

Pergamon Press – Wikipedia

Pergamon Press was an Oxford-based publishing house, founded by Paul Rosbaud and Robert Maxwell, that published scientific and medical books and journals. Originally called Butterworth-Springer, it is now an imprint of Elsevier.

History

The core company, Butterworth-Springer, started in 1948 to bring the “Springer know-how and techniques of aggressive publishing in science”[1] to Britain. Paul Rosbaud was the man with the knowledge. When Maxwell acquired the company in 1951, Rosbaud held a one-quarter share.[1] They changed the house name to Pergamon Press, using a logo that was a reproduction of a Greek coin from Pergamon. Maxwell and Rosbaud worked together growing the company until May 1956, when, according to Joe Haines, Rosbaud was sacked….


This illustrates the larg problem we now have.

So much for “peer review” — Wiley shuts down 19 science journals and retracts 11,000 gobbledygook papers

By Jo Nova

Proving that unpaid anonymous review is worth every cent, the 217 year old Wiley science publisher “peer reviewed” 11,300 papers that were fake, and didn’t even notice. It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry. Naked “gobbledygook sandwiches” got past peer review, and the expert reviewers didn’t so much as blink.

Big Government and Big Money has captured science and strangled it. The more money they pour in, the worse it gets. John Wiley and Sons is a US $2 billion dollar machine, but they got used by criminal gangs to launder fake “science” as something real.

Things are so bad, fake scientists pay professional cheating services who use AI to create papers and torture the words so they look “original”. Thus a paper on ‘breast cancer’ becomes a discovery about “bosom peril” and a ‘naïve Bayes’ classifier became a ‘gullible Bayes’. An ant colony was labeled an ‘underground creepy crawly state’.

And what do we make of the flag to clamor ratio? Well, old fashioned scientists might call it ‘signal to noise’. The nonsense never ends….


Bring Them All To Justice – Market Ticker

Yes, that’s a strong headline.

But this is not really about the recent virus; it goes back a very long time.  Scientific fraud — not accident, not error,  intentional misrepresentation — has been all over medicine and specifically pharmaceutical trials for decades.

August 30, 2005 — Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

Source: BMJ-British Medical Journal

US scientists are significantly more likely to publish fake research than scientists from elsewhere, finds a trawl of officially withdrawn (retracted) studies. Fraudsters are also more likely to be “repeat offenders,” the study shows.

Summary

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias…..


May 29, 2009 — How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data

ABSTRACT

….A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified dataor results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12%< (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.

Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.


March 20, 2012 — Former NEJM editors on the corruption of American medicine (NY Times) from https://participatorymedicine.org/

As we said in December, an e-patient essential is sorting out what writings to trust, whether we find them online or in print. There’s an important update on this in the New York Times today, an interview with Marcia Angell MD, an author we’ve quoted before, and her husband Dr. Arnold Relman – both long-time editors of one of the world’s top journals, the New England Journal of Medicine. It contains some eye-poppers.

In 2009, as I was just starting to get educated about healthcare, I posted A Quote I Won’t Soon Forget, which began:

Marcia Angell MD is a well-known, respected physician, long-time editor of NEJM. So it was a bit of a shock today when Amy Romano, blogger for Lamaze International, sent me this quote:

It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

It was from Dr. Angell’s review Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption. It continued:

Dana Blankenhorn of the ZDNet health blog called it “a bombshell.” I couldn’t agree more. And I must say, with all the smart people in this community, why on earth haven’t we heard more about this??

And how on earth are we supposed to be empowered participatory patients if we can’t trust the world’s leading journal?

It echoed Richard Smith, 25 year editor of another top-tier journal (the British Medical Journal), in the first issue of our Journal of Participatory Medicine:

…most of what appears in peer-reviewed journals is scientifically weak.

This is no small issue in the life of an engaged patient. e-Patients who bring googled articles to their office visits are often lambasted or subjected to eye-rolls by clinicians who say that we should only trust academic medical journals. But can we trust them??

We got a rude update on why published science is shaky in our January 2011 post The Decline Effect: most published studies are never replicated by another lab! That’s absurd – heck, in high school I couldn’t get a science experiment passed if it wasn’t reproducible, but our journals do that??….

April 2015 — JAMA Intern Med Research Misconduct Identified by the US Food and Drug Administration: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Every year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects several hundred clinical sites performing biomedical research on human participants and occasionally finds evidence of substantial departures from good clinical practice and research misconduct. However, the FDA has no systematic method of communicating these findings to the scientific community, leaving open the possibility that research misconduct detected by a government agency goes unremarked in the peer-reviewed literature….

Objectives

To identify published clinical trials in which an FDA inspection found significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices, to describe violations, and to determine whether the violations are mentioned in the peer-reviewed literature.

Design and Setting

Cross-sectional analysis of publicly available documents, dated from January 1, 1998, to September 30, 2013, describing FDA inspections of clinical trial sites in which significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices was found.

Results: Fifty-seven published clinical trials were identified for which an FDA inspection of a trial site had found significant evidence of 1 or more of the following problems:

falsification or submission of false information, 22 trials (39%);

problems with adverse events reporting, 14 trials (25%);

protocol violations, 42 trials (74%);

inadequate or inaccurate recordkeeping, 35 trials (61%);

failure to protect the safety of patients and/or issues with oversight or informed consent, 30 trials (53%);

and violations not otherwise categorized, 20 trials (35%).

Only 3 of the 78 publications (4%) that resulted from trials in which the FDA found significant violations mentioned the objectionable conditions or practices found during the inspection. No corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, or other comments acknowledging the key issues identified by the inspection were subsequently published.

Conclusions and Relevance

When the FDA finds significant departures from good clinical practice, those findings are seldom reflected in the peer-reviewed literature, even when there is evidence of data fabrication or other forms of research misconduct.

A decade ago, I wrote in another blog “Blogs are now performing the important tasks of scrutinizing papers and conclusions often finding gross mistakes.” That is probably one of the reasons we were shut up during Covid.


June 1, 2015 — Editors In Chief of World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journals: “Much of the Scientific Literature, Perhaps HALF, May Simply Be Untrue”

… “It Is Simply No Longer Possible To Believe Much of the Clinical Research That Is Published”

Posted on June 1, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog

Corruption Is Destroying Basic Science

“Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are the two most prestigious medical journals in the world.

It is therefore striking that their chief editors have both publicly written that corruption is undermining science.

The editor in chief of Lancet, Richard Horton, wrote:

*http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(15)60696-1.pdf

Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”. The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices. The apparent endemicity [i.e. pervasiveness within the scientific culture] of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of “significance” pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale….

Similarly, the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, wrote in 2009:

“We can no longer trust Drug company clinical trials”

(Original Article I quote below has vanished… imagine that!)

….It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine….

In fact, in October 2017, Angell went further – she published an article in the New York Review of books entitled, ‘Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption.’

In my opinion Iran was never just about the Middle East, it was about world peace and breaking the grip of the Cabal. That is why there is such a stark contrast between how the press and the rest of the world views the Ukrainian war vs the military op against Iran.

LIVE Q&A: Iran, Lawfare, and Why the Establishment Is Going All-In Against Trump

PARTIAL ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

32:00 Barbara Boyd: On a bill in Congress about merging Israeli & US technological intelligence: “ Well Hey. It’s already pretty effectively merged in terms of the Mossad and the COA and has been ever since James J Angleton created in essence the Mossad from the CIA. To me none of this has any magnitude equivalent to the complete merger of our intelligence community with MI6 and Five Eyes and NATO. Which is far, far, far more dangerous, more disgusting and more off the mark in terms of a native US-Based intelligence compared to anything Israel could think about…

36:20 Iran having a nuclear weapon is a threat to the world. Iran started off negotiations with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff by saying, we have enough nuclear material for nine bombs right now. That is a genuine threat to the world. You are seeing how the IRGC operates before your eyes. It has been that way for a very, very long time. There is no terrorist operation in the world which doesn’t benefit in some fundamental way. They are not independent. And most of what the IRGC is and everything else comes from the City of London’s long time control of every single terrorist operation in the Middle East. Be they Shiite or Be they Sunni.

Trump stopped that at the beginning of his very first term with his visit to Saudi Arabia. Trump said, the USA is out of this game PERIOD. And that in part is the long history of what this is really all about.

37:50 Mike Steger: The Middle East is the cockpit for escalated war on a Global scale. Iran was set up as part of that agenda. We have documented this. Bernard Lewis, Brzeziński, this was radical Islam used as a basic weapon to threaten the world. [And push it] into a kind of chaos which then Lloyds and others would control and profit and monetize.

Trump realizes that [and] he has dedicated more time in his presidency to stabilizing the Middle East. And there is no doubt that the situation in the Middle East on October 7th which escalated into this horrific war in Gaza came out of Iran and Iran’s interests – Largely British – but through Iran to destabilize the Middle East AND PREVENT THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS, TO PREVENT LONG-TERM PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. [Ghost in the last video on this page goes into the actual play-by-play of how the Abraham Accords were de-railed. -GC]

38:40 The reality is you have a military cult in the IRGC which controls upward of 50% of the entire Iranian economy. I do not think the clerics or the so-called democratically elected political representatives have had any real control in that country for quite some time if ever… I think the situation is far more dangerous than Iran. And I will point to just one clear evidence of that.

[Ghost goes even further and thinks Iran was all about starting a nuclear war. As I wrote in THE CASE FOR NUCLEAR WAR I think the Cabal is crazy enough to want to start one. –GC]

Kim Jong-un and Trump could have one-on-one direct dialogue. They are having ongoing letter and other correspondence as we speak. He has had that since he came back in. There was NEVER a chance to have dialogue with the clerics or the Ayatollah because the reality is the Ayatollah has not really been holding real power. I think that is the fundamental difference. You can’t trust Iran because you actually don’t have a sense of who is really in power. That is why the negotiations have been hung up. Because there is not a real center of power in Iran to give it a coherent nation state status. [So WHO and WHERE is that center of power? In the UK where the Ayatollah and top IRGC commanders have property?? GC]

43:00 Mike Steger: I think there’s been a kind of a fight in China and it’s not been maybe a balanced one per se. What the communism of Mao was set up, largely by kind of British and globalist interests, to play, is the exact role China was beginning to play in this kind of globalist globalized economy. They became the kind of sweat shop of the world. Cheap labor supply, cheap manufacturing, and what you saw was a rise of billionaires dominating China. And that’s been a kind of corruption that China now is trying to confront and clean out.

What Trump’s challenging China is to say, look, that doesn’t function. That doesn’t work. And there are some people in China at various political levels who recognize that that is not the pathway to go. That it’s led to intrinsic corruption in China, that it leads to political instability. But China’s got a difficult problem. They’ve got to try to hold the nation together. And it’s been a 2,000-year-old problem in China. The Chinese like to break off into their own separate provinces, their own separate princedoms and kingdoms. It’s hard to hold the nation together. So that’s kind of an underlying threat that China constantly faces. And they’ve tried to nationalize with the Mandarin language. There’s all kinds of things they’ve had to do that most people wouldn’t have any idea of, to try to rectify this lack of real national unity inside China… [This agrees with the little I have learned of China. Ghost & Alpha Warrior distinguish between the CCP and Xi. The CCP being the Chinese Deep State. Also given the amount of trouble Xi has handling China, I doubt he wants to actually control anymore land except as tribute states (Belt & Road). –GC]

45:00 Trump has shown in Iran that we are killing the old system. The vestiges of this kind of divided world, this kind of a new cold war era of China, Iran, Russia, North Korea as a block. He’s saying, “We’re killing that system. You’re not going to benefit off of cheap Iranian oil, but we’re going to have a much longer term stable system led by the United States, founded on the US dollar-based system, but based on nations having the right to industrialize, build up, and to thrive. A system of nation states.” And I think there are some in China. I think probably this is the dialogue President Trump is having with Chairman Xi that this is where he’s taking the world and that chairman Xi is well aware that that would be best long-term for China because it really doesn’t have the ability to play the role of a global economic hegemon. That’s just British imperial thinking that’s made its way into China through various aspects including Maoism. So, I think that’s the presentation Trump is making. And I think he’s got to be forceful because if you don’t kill the old system, it’s very difficult for people holding on to the status quo to ever leave it and jump into the new one. I would just add that, China was essentially manipulated based on the WTO — this whole idea of globalization — to become the sweat shop of the world. That’s not really what any nation wants to be….

Steve Bannon and others who continue to insist that we have to go to war with China are not understanding what the president is actually doing and that’s why Mike is quite right…

51:00 Adam: And then here’s one from Cool Cool Roy which I think is actually a much more important question than people realize. “Would you agree that playing the hate and blame game is one of the greatest forms of self- oppression and government oppression on earth?” Before I open it up, let me just say yes. And the way that people describe it sometimes is the victim mentality. Become victimized by some other group or some other ideology, some other identity. Barbara and Mike, your thoughts on this super chat here.

51:30 Barbara Boyd: I think this is a good one. Mike’s pointing to me, so I’ll start.

Okay. Aristotle and Carl Schmidt, the German legal theorist and Nazi, basically had this idea that you don’t know who you are unless you have an enemy. In other words, you define yourself by your enemy. By something terribly negative. You don’t define who you really are, what your mission is here on this earth, and what reality actually is in terms of of how you deal with it. That is human. What Carl Schmidt and Aristotle believed is best deal because you end up in a cycle of endless wars out of all of that and kind of tribal policing of yourselves based on tribal ideas and identities rather than superseding them to actually fulfill our mission here on earth. Genesis tells us what it is. Go forth, multiply and subdue the earth. I really think that’s completely different than either Aristotle or Carl Schmidt.

Carl Schmidt, — I just went and reminded myself, his entire thesis was based on the friend – enemy distinction. That was kind of like the central thesis to it. This kind of issue of building these gangs and encounter gangs of different varieties and then having that kind of gang counter gang warfare play out in the public sphere. That in my mind is basically what’s been controlling essentially all of modern politics. It is using that control mechanism in one way or another for sure. Mike, any thoughts?

53:42 Mike Steger: Yeah, Let’s just take it into the British question, because this is how they tried to control their empire. They did it n East Africa. 👉But probably the most famous case is in India. Where Hindus were the majority, the British power would back the Muslim minority and to aggravate the sense that the Hindus had a right if they had the majority to direct where they wanted to go. But in the Muslim controlled areas near the Indus in West India which is now Pakistan they would back the Hindu minority and aggravate the Muslim majority to the point where you would get this kind of potential for a major backlash👈… It’s not parody in terms of the kind of conditions, but you get this emotional backlash that creates civil war. And that’s exactly what happened in India when the British left in 1947. A civil war broke out on religious lines, killing up to two million people. And that’s the kind of thing you see them attempting to provoke, whether it’s in Belfast or the Henry Nowak: case or the George Floyd dynamic in the United States. They’re trying to create and instigate this kind of reaction. [Crypto Rich, a Muslim, informed Mike of this in a lot greater detail in his recent podcast. -GC]

You can see this if you go to X because it’s so visceral so guttural that it dominates a lot of the social media discussion. That’s why, on Promethean Action, we focus on unifying the country. Our strength is unity and orienting towards the redevelopment of the nation. To rebuilding it just like you want to unify the church as an ecumenical mission, as a good Christian, you want to unify the nation towards a mission of industrial and scientific advancement…


AI DATA CENTERS

1:02:07 Mike Steger: I think there’s a number of things. It’s clear that this data center AI comes out of Silicon Valley. There’s very little to trust about a lot of these institutions. The way they’ve run the social media process, what they’ve run with social control, what they did with censorship, how they were back doors to the intelligence community. All of that’s true. All of that’s worth not trusting. But at the same time, there is a real viability to AI applications, but not necessarily the way that a lot of these AI firms are talking about it.

So, there’s a lot of this idea that we can deliver it to personal consumers and it’s going to be some big financial gain based like social media was broad-based consumption on every phone, every young person. The reality is that AI is probably going to be far more profitable and useful as it’s integrated into the re-industrialization of the United States because there’s real applications connecting it to an industrial robotic and high-tech process of manufacturing of logistics. So there’s real benefit to these kinds of advancements. It’s always a double-edged sword. How do you apply it? Do you apply it towards social control which has been the IC Silicon Valley modus operandi for 25, 30 40 years or is it going to be applied towards a new re-industrialized United States? There are certainly very clear aspects of Trump, of the JD Vance, of this new Republican party, who see that they’re building up the industrial firms, they’re broadening out the defense contractor base with new firms who are looking to apply these things, to integrate it into real manufacturing and production, to increase the kind of broad-based wealth of the country.

Now that said, how we deal with data centers is something that we’ve got to think through as a country. Doing it in big farmland areas doesn’t make a lot of sense. There was a proposal to do it in Buick City up in Flint, which was prior to River Rouge where Ford did the largest factory at the time. It was Buick City up in Flint. That was a massive start to finish raw material to finish automotive product in one plant.

Now that’s been laid waste for a long time and there was proposal to put data centers there. Now Flynn has knocked it out. Like to me it makes a lot more sense to put them into brown fields where you have connected water and power supply than to do it into open farmlands. Much like power centers should be integrated into city centers and industry, not just, solar panels all over our corn fields. So, I think we’ve got to think this thing through. I think that there’s plays on both sides as Barbara’s pointed out. Maybe she wants to go into more depth today.

There’s clearly other aspects. There was a lot of propaganda push from Russian news networks to target our fracking industry. You know, 15, 20 years ago, they really tried to undercut the idea of fracking. They got the whole left in America to be anti-fracking even though that’s what’s created all of this natural gas that these green environmentalists have been obsessed with. The same thing is true today with China because there is a real race for AI that’s real and largely because China sees it. China knows even maybe better than a lot of Americans that this AI is going to be a boon towards their manufacturing and productive sector and they sought to have global control of that. So I think the question is re-industrializing thinking about how we use these AI data centers. Even as Trump said making sure that these AI companies are treated like pharmaceutical companies. You can’t just release these new models. We have to know what they’re actually going to be doing. What kind of effect they have….

so we’ve got to regulate it. We might have to integrate it, but we have to be smart about it. It’s a double-edged sword. We can’t become anti-technology, but we can’t allow the model of Silicon Valley and social control to continue to dominate the way we let these companies become big major firms in the United States. And I think that’s a political question. It’s a question of political power. And it’s the kind of challenge that self-government creates because we can just either hand it to the experts and be ruled by oligarchy or if we’re going to deal with it, we’ve got to deal with it in a smart way and not just react because there are certain forces that want to control our reaction. They want us to react and shut this thing down and we’ve got to be smart about it. So that’s kind of how I think about it.

1:06:40 Barbara Boyd: I had pointed out I think last week that Kevin O’Leary who you know is famous from TV, is actually building a data center in Utah and started getting all sorts of strange stuff that he wasn’t doing in terms of zoning and everything else. Big attacks on him. He hired a firm to actually track down where all this was coming from. Unsurprisingly he proved that it was coming from China. Which makes a whole lot of sense. Okay, We’re in a race as to who is going to actually develop the useful aspects of this first and foremost. Data centers are a requirement of that. That said, you’ve got to take into account environment. You shouldn’t be building it on, farmland, which should be in agriculture at this point. And is a really big deal out there because we have problems with our farmers, which have nothing to do with AI. [Goes into food Cartels]

POLITICAL ISLAM

1:50:00 Adam: Sha says “I think you are missing the plan of Islam.” Barbara and Mike your thoughts on this one? Are are we missing the plan of Islam?

Barbara Boyd: No, we’re not missing it. You got to understand a little bit about Islam as a religion. All right? There’s two sides to it. There is so-called political Islam, which was largely an invention. And you know, some of my Muslim friends will actually get mad at me at this point, but that was actually an invention of the Arab Bureau of British Secret Intelligence for purposes of using Islam as a weapon in this whole dynamic in the Middle East to have gangs and counter gangs. Basically, revisionist Zionism versus political Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood being the biggest example of that. Obviously the Muslim Brotherhood and those who are looking to have a re-founding of the caliphate, even Turkey wants that, are looking towards proselytizing other people in the world to become part of Islam or they’re considered to be enemies of the religion that is essentially what you’re talking about when you talk about the Plan of Islam. Most Muslims do not subscribe to this at all. So, you got to be very careful here and make the distinction and figure out whether you’re being pushed into something that really is not all that big a deal. I think the last time I looked demographically, the Muslims constitute about 1% of the United States total in various areas of the country. [Google says 1.3% to 1.5% – GC] They obviously have settled, because of immigration patterns and family patterns and the religion and everything else. People get freaked out about it because they think oh my god this group of people is here and they’re not adhering to anything in the community and they haven’t been absorbed into the community. That’s a problem. It’s a problem we face across the board in terms of immigration in our country.

👉But, in order for people to actually integrate into a culture, you got to be able to define the culture they’re integrating themselves into.👈

And if you look at our culture in the United States at this point, and you asked yourself, if I was coming here and I actually am being told you need to integrate into American culture, what would I see? What would I see? Would I see Graham Platner and think that I got to integrate with that? That’s kind of a problem. It’s not as simple as the plan, which everybody’s kind of attached to at this point of, oh my god. they’re going to come here and essentially take us all over. It is a source of tension in various communities in the United States around this question of, you know, becoming an American and identifying being an American as your essential identity. But in order for people to do that, we got to do a much better job of actually defining what a citizen and citizenship in the United States actually means. So that’s how to answer your question.…

118:16 Mark Steger: And let me just go back to the last question because I think what people are missing, I mean Islam has been radically altered by a lot of the foreign funding [and] British operations over the last 50 years. What Trump’s message to a lot of these Gulf Kingdoms, the Saudis, the entire Islamic world is in 2017, knock it off. We’re not going to be funding ISIS and al-Qaeda any longer as we did under Obama. We’re not going to be funding Hamas in this operation. You guys have got to change the orientation away from this caliphate.

But the bigger question is for too long people in the United States and in Europe have taken Christian civilization for granted. There’s not a clarity of what it is, what its principles are, how it manifests as a worldview, what we’re committed to developing, what our role in the universe is. We don’t have a people [who] might go to church. They might want to oppose the kind of cultural decadence and destruction of Hollywood and the elites, the liberal elites in this country. We have not fortified in a theological and deeper cultural way, a worldview that expresses the kind of strength and beauty and the kind of power of scientific discovery that Christian civilization really means. And I think people have to have a sense that that’s what’s needed. That’s what we’re doing with Promethean Action. That’s what we’ve recognized for a long time. And we’re developing it from the standpoint of how this kind of cultural outlook has got to be strengthened and made more conscious in the minds and hearts of the American people. And if we have that, as Barbara said, we’re going to recruit a lot more of the people that are here towards a real sense of what our civilization is based on. And we’re going to counter probably the most insidious effects which has been things like the rap culture. This rap music culture, this anti-American materialist kind of culture which has recruited a lot of the immigrant communities.

Parents come in hoping to maybe integrate and be part of it, but they’ve got their traditions and cultures. It’s their children. You’ll see this in France. the second & third generations have become less and less assimilated and integrated because the culture that’s been promoted has largely been anti the very principles of our civilization. So the question is are we making clear the real principles of what a western Christian civilization represent. And I think that’s what we’ve got. That’s what Trump’s looking to revive….

Speaking of Iran, and Obama’s ‘Agreement’ There is Obama’s Handler, Valerie
Jarrett.


Flashback: Who is Valerie Jarrett?

….According to FBI files obtained by Judicial Watch, Jarrett’s father, Dr. James E. Bowman, a pathologist and geneticist, “had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals.”

The files also show that “in 1950, Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage.”

Alfred Stern and his wife, Martha Dodd Stern, “were indicted in absentia on espionage charges on Sept. 9, 1957, The New York Times reported. The indictment charged them with conspiring to act as Soviet agents, receiving American military, commercial and industrial information and transmitting it to the Soviet Union. The indictment charged that they used their house in Ridgefield, Conn., for meetings with Soviet agents.”

Dr. James Bowman “was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students,” reported Judicial Watch. “After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work.” Valerie Jarret was born in Iran on Nov. 14, 1956.

The Association of Internes and Medical Students, according to the FBI files, is a group that “has long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line.” Bowman had “deep ties to Chicago,” reported Judicial Watch, “where he often collaborated with fellow Communists.”

Judicial Watch further stated that the Jarrett family Communist ties “also include a business partnership between Jarrett’s maternal grandpa, Robert Rochon Taylor (1899-1957) and [Alfred] Stern, the Soviet agent associated with her dad.”

Valerie Jarrett’s father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett (1917-2004), “was also another big-time Chicago Communist,” according to the FBI files. “For a period of time Vernon Jarrett appeared on the FBI’s Security Index and was considered a potential Communist saboteur who was to be arrested in the event of a conflict with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR),” Judicial Watch said.

According to the FBI documents, Vernon Jarrett’s job was to “write propaganda for a Communist Party front group in Chicago that would ‘disseminate the Communist Party line among … the middle class.”

“Faithful to her roots, [Valerie Jarrett] still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood,” said Judicial Watch. “Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshall Davis, a big Obama mentor and Communist Party member with an extensive FBI file.”


Discover the Networks — Valerie Jarrett

…The federal government placed Bowman [ValJar’s Dad — GC] under special surveillance because of his involvement with the European Recovery Program (ERP)—i.e., the Marshall Plan. Historian Paul Kengor explains: “This ERP/Marshall Plan association is very intriguing, and troubling. One of the most insidious forms of Communist Party agitation in the 1940s and 1950s was to frame the Marshall Plan as a form of vile American imperialism. It was the Kremlin line, pushed by Stalin and Molotov and mimicked by [the] Communist Party USA. One of the worst peddlers of this line was Frank Marshall Davis, who characterized the Marshall Plan in his columns as a ‘device’ to maintain ‘white imperialism.’ The plan, by Davis’s rendering, was a disgusting ‘oppression of non-white peoples everywhere,’ a slavery purchased by Secretary of State Marshall’s ‘billions of U.S. dollars … to bolster the tottering empires of England, France, Belgium, Holland and the other western exploiters of teeming millions of humans.’ … Was James Bowman [promoting the same notions about the Marshall Plan]? I cannot tell from … his FBI file, but I can say that Bowman’s work for, or position on, the Marshall Plan was the item of special concern to the FBI.”

Bowman was also a member of the Association of Internes and Medical Students, a group that, according to Bowman’s FBI file, engaged in un-American activities and “has long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line.” …

Bowman was also very active with the communist student group American Youth for Democracy as well as the International Labor Defense and the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born (ACPFB), three of Frank Marshall Davis’s favorite organizations. Paul Kengor writes the following about ACPFB:

“This group had been so extreme that the Democratic Congress’s huge ‘Investigation of Un-American Propaganda Activities in the United States’ (published in 1944) devoted a lengthy 15-page section just to ACPFB, atop innumerable added references elsewhere in the report. Key members included prominent African-American communists Langston Hughes and Paul Robeson, the gushing admirer of Joe Stalin, plus the usual assemblage of duped liberals/progressives, ranging from theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, to the great Orson Welles, to famed movie actor Edward G. Robinson.

“As the Congressional report noted, ACPFB ‘was founded by the Communist Party in order to exploit racial divisions in the United States for its own revolutionary purposes.’ Its modus operandi was to polarize Americans along racial lines in order to advance the Soviet agenda. Closely linked to International Labor Defense, the primary (concealed) intention of ACPFB was to protect foreign communists who came to America and agitated for the Soviet Comintern. The core objective was to prevent deportation of these foreign-born communists living in America. One such figure was German communist Gerhart Eisler, who became a major CPUSA cause, and whose name was omnipresent throughout Frank Marshall Davis’s Chicago Star….

1961-1983

When Valerie Jarrett was five, her family relocated to London for one year before settling in Chicago’s elite Hyde Park neighborhood in 1963.

A different take on the Middle East situation.

The Republican War mongers and Israel are NOT happy about the possibility of peace in the Middle East. Is Israel going to get Greece to fight Turkey? Israel cannot fight directly because Turkey is in NATO. Also the Israeli Draft of people into the IDF is having repercussions. It is very disruptive of business and commerce. Dual citizens are leaving Israel to escape the Draft and the Ultra-Orthodox Jews are now praying for the fall of Israel.

☕️ 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!

Various groups are suggesting “the Storm is upon us.” I certainly think I see it approaching. I am going to try and put things into some semblance of order. It least that was my original intent until I went looking for a piece of information and got yanked sideway. Oh well.

It has been my thesis that the Brits never really conceded defeat after the US Revolution and have been trying to get control of the USA ever since. I think for all intents they actually got some control in 1913 and have been working slowly, Fabian Society style, to consolidate their grip and impose a world government. The UK has been the home of the Globalists since William and Mary brought the Dutch banking system to England and the City of London was set up.

8:00 Brady: But the cool thing is William… [He] brings all these great ideas with him. Things like a stock exchange. A central Bank. In fact the Bank of England would be founded 6 years later. And we know where that lead us to.

Col Towner: So he is just transferring the Dutch Empire to the English Empire.

Brady: Yeah, We talked about how the Dutch securitized their entire industry. They stopped producing goods and services, and they just basically speculated all over the world. It is exactly what Wall Street became. They [the Dutch] have already been investing in the British pounds because it pays bigger interest… So they are subsidizing their own enemies.

THAT IS WHY THE DUTCH FELL. THEY HAD STRETCHED TOO THIN AND THEY WERE FINANCIALLY SPECULATING ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Col Towner: Which is what you see happening today.

Brady: Well that is why we are telling the story so we do not repeat it too.

From the video The Shadow State 67: The City of London

Susan Kokinda:

Iran wasn’t the target. The British imperial system was. And on April 16th, Scott Bessent walked into a room with the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and said it out loud. Here’s the Treasury readout… During their discussion, Secretary Besson underscored the US Treasury’s commitment to Economic Fury, leveraging all tools and authorities against those who continue to support Iran’s terrorist activities. He’s underscoring the mission of Economic Fury to Britain’s top financial officer. In essence warning of a new reality… The Trump administration has the empire’s number and is systematically dismantling its power. Which is why the Hudson Institute is now pinning its hopes on a royal visit. They want King Charles to save ‘the special relationship’… Here’s what they’re all missing. Iran wasn’t the target. The British imperial system was and is the target.

The strait was never just Iran’s weapon.

It was London’s leverage. And Trump’s target was never the strait itself. It was the system that monetized it. That system is what is being dismantled. And that holds regardless of what happens in the next 48 hours. In fact, if you look at Trump’s post about no longer being used as a weapon against the world, you can read it in two ways. The Strait won’t be used as a weapon by Iran and Iran won’t be used as a weapon by the British. And because the president understood that, he is bringing an end to the 47 year-old extortion racket.

06:31

The president himself named it back on April 11th in a truth social in all caps, WORLD EXTORTION. That’s not rhetoric. That’s a precise description of how the City of London has run the global financial system for over a century and Bessent is now systematically dismantling it. Here’s how the architecture works.

Think about what London actually prices:

* The global gold fix and other metals through the London Metal Exchange and the IC, the Intercontinental Exchange.

* The price of oil through the Brent crude benchmark since 1988.

* Shipping rates on every barrel of oil that moved through the strait determined by Lloyd’s war risk premiums.

And every regional crisis sent traders to London and allowed them to manipulate prices.

Managed conflict wasn’t just a geopolitical tool. It was a revenue stream. Trump called it world extortion. He’s right….

07:41

But before that, even bigger moves were going on that most people didn’t notice. Vivify Mariposa pulls the curtain back in an important post entitled The System That Owns You, How It Was Built, and Why It’s Breaking. She describes how Trump’s tariff offensive has caused a dramatic shift in the economic balance of power. Because of Trump’s moves, physical gold has been moving from London vaults to New York. Copper pricing is migrating from the London Metal Exchange to American markets and London’s own exchange has publicly conceded that the shift is permanent. Now, Mariposa concludes by saying the pricing authority is moving gold to American vaults, copper to comics, LNG contracts referencing American benchmarks. London is not being replaced by Qatar. London is being bypassed by New York…

[Makes you wonder if the election of Mandani as NYC mayor was because the Cabal saw this coming. -GC]

However Susan and the rest of the crew at Promethean Action are ‘Keeping it Simple Stupid’ Oil is indeed a factor, just not the only one. They are:

TRADE ROUTES
OIL
and
DRUGS

At this point I went looking for the info (on the Chinese) that I wanted to document. I remembered it was in Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of Three Hundred — CIA library by Dr John Coleman who is still alive BTW. The CIA document is 169 pages so I am going to quote it as well as asking readers to read PAGE 103 – 107 where Dr Coleman quotes H. G. Wells, co-founder of the British Fabian Society.

What I find interesting is the fact Colonel Towner’s Gladio Series information dovetails with this information about the CIA, NATO,‘The Criminal Syndicate’ and drugs.

I am going to start with Dr Coleman’s H. G. Wells quotes and then go back and look at the Iran & China information.

[BEGIN QUOTE]

PAGE 103

What then are we looking at? A loosely-knit gathering of people with weird ideas?

Certainly not. In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled “new” society only it isn’t new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. [or formal religion of the devil, the existence of which, in the middle ages, is registered by the known facts of the Black Sabbath – GC] It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY– PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.” [written in 1928 — GC]

…There will be no middle class, only rulers and servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military…

Only one religion will be allowed and that will be in the form of a One World Government Church, which has been in existence since 1920 as we shall see. Satanism, Luciferianism and Witchcraft shall he recognized as legitimate One World Government curricula with no private or church schools. All Christian churches have already been subverted and Christianity will be a thing of the past in the One World Government…

Each person shall be fully indoctrinated that he or she is a creature of the One World Government with an identification number clearly marked on their person so as to be readily accessible, which identifying number shall be in the master file of the NATO computer in Brussels, Belgium, subject to instant retrieval by any agency of the One World Government at any time. The master Files of the CIA, FBI, state and local police agencies, IRS, FEMA, Social Security shall be vastly expanded and form the basis of personal records of all individuals in the United States.

Marriage shall be outlawed and there shall be no family life as we know it. Children will be removed from their parents at an early-age and brought up by wards as state property…

At least 4 billion “useless eaters” shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases and starvation. Energy, food and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, starting with the White populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races. The population of Canada, Western Europe and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents, until the world’s population reaches a manageable level of 1 billion, of which 500 million will consist of Chinese and Japanese races, selected because they are people who have been regimented for centuries and who are accustomed to obeying authority without question…

[I want to insert here, that I think the original plan was Orientals would be the high functioning intelligent workers and the black/brown would be the lower intelligent grunt workers, that is if they are not replaced by robots. The only whites will be the rulers, thus color coding people so they are easily IDed by sight. –GC]

The United States will be flooded by peoples of alien cultures who will eventually overwhelm White America, people with no concept of what the United States Constitution stands for and who will, in consequence, do nothing to defend it, and in whose minds the concept of liberty and justice is so weak as to matter little. FOOD and shelter shall be the main concern.

Rival factions and groups such as Arabs and Jews and African tribes shall have differences magnified and allowed to wage wars of extermination against each other under the eyes of NATO and U.N. observers. The same tactics will be used in Central and South America. These wars of attrition shall take place BEFORE the take-over by the One World Government…

It is obvious from the foregoing that much work remains to be done before the dawning of the New World Order can occur. The Committee of 300 has long ago perfected plans to destabilize civilization as we know it, some of which plans were made known by Zbignew Brzezinski in his classic work “THE TECHNOTRONIC ERA” and the works of Aurellio Peccei who founded the Club of Rome, especially in his book, “THE CHASM AHEAD.” [pg 107]

[END QUOTE]


I am going to stop here and take a quick look at a couple of Russian articles on Brzezinski.

Brzezinski Ideas

…Brzezinski in an article published in Foreign Affaire (1970), explains his vision of the “New World Order” stating that “it is necessary a new and bolder vision (the creation of a community of developed countries can deal effectively with the broad problems of humanity”, outlines a theory fleshed out in his book “Between Two Ages: America’s role in the era technetronic” 1971), explaining that the era has come to rebalance world power, power that must be passed on to a new global political order based on a trilateral economic linkage between Japan, Europe and the United States.

In the book “Between Two Ages,” (1971), he also calls for control of population by an elite through “cyber manipulation”, by stating: “The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and dominated society by an elite without the restrictions of traditional values, so it will soon be possible to ensure the monitoring almost continuous over every citizen and maintain complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen, files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities, “what would herald the subsequent implementation of the PRISM program. Also, in a recent speech at a meeting of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the former Carter adviser warned that “U.S. domination was no longer possible due to an acceleration of social change driven by instant communication that caused the awakening of a universal political consciousness of the masses (Global Political Awakening) and which is proving detrimental to foreign domination as prevailed in the era of colonialism and imperialism”, so after the failed attempt to control the cloud (PRISM Program), in the coming years will see the end of the democratization of information, with the impossibility of direct access to the network using the steps of restrictive policies implemented by countries like China, Russia or Iran.

According to the Financial Times, Brzezinski in a hearing before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate in 2007, said:

 “One possible scenario for a military confrontation with Iran means a terrorist act in American soil of which would Iran be responsible. This could culminate in a U.S. military action “defense” against Iran in which would be included Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan,”

What follows is the possibility of a new attack in the U.S. that would be falsely attributed to Iran to bring its invasion and a subsequent totalitarian derived USA, similar to that recorded with George W. Bush after 11- S, 2001. So, a month after the attack of 11-S, George W. Bush secretly decided to cancel a major constitutional protection in this country (habeas corpus) by-law known as the USA Patriot Act under the justification of its “fight against” terrorism “according to official documents revealed in late 2005 in a series of reports in the New York Times…

A second interesting Russian article is:

Prisoners of Friedman and Brzezinski: Neoliberal America vs. Multipolarity

Especially given the date is just before Trump’s first election: 28.10.2016

Recently, the US has begun to lose its strategic positions in the Middle East. When some say that the US Empire is collapsing, this no longer sounds like an exaggeration. It definitely looks like this is what is going to happen in front of our very eyes. Failed regime-change attempts in Syria revealed to the whole world the true nature of the so called Arab Spring, and only those who still want to remain stooped in illusions take the Western MSM as a source of reliable information. The Arab Spring served a much bigger purpose of maintaining and expanding US world domination by imposing the Western way of life and, in fact, Western ideology on the Arab World. Western values and way of life have been exposed as the devil in disguise when the US imposes soft power on smaller countries.

Western values are far from being good. They are essentially nothing but Milton Friedman’s utopian neoliberal economic ideas (Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is one of the best written documentations of this topic). Free-market or liberal, capitalism is a doctrine that demands that everything must be sacrificed on the unholy altar of commerce, including traditional and religious values. This is why nation-states and religious values are seen as a threat in Western corridors of power – a threat that must be destroyed by supranational and secular powers. The US has been the front man and a driving force in this “progress.” So, if US will lose its positions, will this progress stop? Or, if Trump will be elected, can he change this course and stop its progress? Will the world find a new way of life? Together? Or will the world go back to nation-states and religious values? I have no answers to these questions, but what is sure is that there must be a new value system or ideology to fill this vacuum if the Western system is going to collapse. Ideally, this would be a loose context for different religions and political ideologies to integrate – a spiritual multipolarity that combines nations rather than dividing them…

Back to Dr Coleman’s book.

CHINA and IRAN
[QUOTE]

…it is hardly likely that the U.S. would make any real effort to stop the production of opium in the Golden Triangle which is under the control of the Chinese military, a serious war would erupt if any country tried to interdict the trade. A serious attack on the opium trade would bring Chinese military intervention.

The British know this; they have no quarrel with China, except for an occasional squabble over who gets the larger share of the pie. Britain has been involved in the China opium trade for over two centuries. No one is going to be so foolish as to rock the boat when millions upon millions of dollars flow into the bank accounts of the British oligarchists and more gold is traded on the Hong Kong gold market than the combined total traded in London and New York… Every British monarch since 1729 has benefited immensely from the drug trade and this holds good for the present occupant of the throne…

In later years the Chinese appealed to Britain for help with their immense problem and received it. Thereafter respective Chinese governments realized the value in cooperating instead of fighting with Britain–and this held good during the bloody rule of Mao Tse Tung–so that today, as I have already mentioned, any quarrels that come about are only over the share of the opium trade each is entitled to.

To advance to more modern history, the Chinese-British partnership was solidified by the Hong Kong agreement which established an equal partnership in the opium trade…

Rowntree’s book, “The Imperial Drug Trade”[1903] gives a fascinating account of how Prime Minister Gladstone and his fellow plutocrats lied, cheated, twisted and turned to keep the astonishing truth of the involvement of the British monarchy in the opium trade from being exposed…

The Eastern Liberal Establishment families of the United States were just as deeply involved in the China opium trade as were the British, indeed they still are. Witness recent history when [President] James Earl Carter toppled the Shah of Iran. Why was the Shah deposed and then murdered by the United States government? fn a word, because of DRUGS. The Shah had clamped down and virtually put an end to the immensely lucrative opium trade being conducted out of Iran by the British. At the time that the Shah took over in Iran, there were already one million opium/heroin addicts.

This the British would not tolerate, so they sent the United States to do their dirty work for them in terms of the “special relationship” between the two countries. When Khomeini took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, arms sales by the United States, which had begun with the Shah, were not discontinued. Why not? Had the United States done so, Khomeini would have canceled the British monopoly of the opium trade in his country. To prove the point, after 1984, Khomeini’s liberal attitude toward opium had increased the number of addicts to 2 million, according to United Nations and World Health Organization statistics. [That certainly puts a different light on the Khomeini – Carter communications. GC]


Both President Carter and his successor, Ronald Reagan, willingly and with full knowledge of what was at stake, went on supplying arms to Iran even while American hostages languished in captivity. In 1980 I wrote a monograph under the title, “What Really Happened in Iran,” which set out the facts. The arms trade with Iran was sealed at a meeting between Cyrus Vance, a servant of the Committee of 300, and Dr. Hashemi, which resulted in the U.S. Air Force beginning an immediate airlift of arms to Iran, carried on even at the height of the hostage crisis the arms came from U.S. Army stockpiles in Germany ….

The demise of the Shah of Iran was run to a plan devised by Bernard Levin and Richard Falk, and supervised by Robert Anderson’s Aspen Institute. Levin was the author of a work entitled “Time Perspective and Morale” which is a Club of Rome publication concerning how to break down the morale of nations and individual leaders. Here is an extract of the document:

“One of the main techniques for breaking morale through a strategy of terror consists in exactly this tactic: keep the person hazy as to where he stands and just what he may expect. In addition, if frequent vacillations between severe disciplinary measures and promise of good treatment together with the spreading of contradictory news make the structure of the situation unclear, then the individual may cease to know whether a particular plan would lead toward or away from his goal. Under these conditions, even those individuals who have definite goals and are ready to take risks are paralyzed by the severe inner conflict in regard to what to do.”

This Club of Rome blueprint applies to COUNTRIES as well as to individuals, particularly the government leaders of those countries. We in the U.S. need not think that “Oh well, this is America, and those kinds of things just do not happen here.” Let me assure you that they ARE happening in the U.S., and perhaps more so than in any other country. Remember that Khomeini was groomed for years by British intelligence, especially during his time in Paris, before he suddenly appeared as the savior of Iran. Boris Yeltsin is from the same M16-SIS stable...

The route taken by the raw opium carriers of the Golden Crescent goes through Iran, Turkey and Lebanon. When the Shah of Iran was in control of the country, he refused to allow the heroin trade to continue and it was forcibly discontinued-up until the time that he was “dealt with” by the Committee of 300. Raw opium from Turkey and Lebanon finds it way to Corsica, from where it is shipped to Monte Carlo with the connivance of the Grimaldi family. Pakistani laboratories, under the guise of “military defense laboratories” are doing a bigger share of refining than they were two years ago, but the best refining is still done along the French Mediterranean coastline and in Turkey. Here again, banks play a vital role in financing these operations.

Let us stop here for a moment. Are we to believe that with all the modern and vastly improved surveillance techniques, including satellite reconnaissance, available to law enforcement agencies in these countries, that this vile trade cannot be pin-pointed and stopped? How is it that law enforcement agencies cannot go in and destroy these laboratories once they are discovered? If this IS the case, and we still cannot interdict the heroin trade, then our anti-narcotics services ought to be known as “The Geriatrics” and not drug enforcement agencies.

Even a child could tell our alleged “drug watchers” what to do. Simply keep a check on all factories making acetic anhydride, THE most essential chemical component needed by laboratories to refine heroin from raw opium. THEN FOLLOW THE TRAIL!…

For some strange reason the Cali cartel, which is equal in size to the Medellin cartel, has been–at least up until now–largely ignored by the DEA. Cali differs from the Medellin cartel in that it is run by BUSINESSMEN, who eschew all forms of violence and never break agreements. Even more significant is that Cali does virtually no business in Florida. My source told me that the Cali cartel is run by shrewd businessmen unlike any seen in the cocaine business. He believes that they were “specially appointed,” but does not know by whom. “They never call attention to themselves,” he said. “They do not go around importing red Ferraris like Jorge Ochoa did, attracting immediate attention, because it is forbidden to import such cars into Colombia.”

Cali cartel markets are in Los Angeles, New York and Houston, which closely parallel the heroin markets. Cali has not shown any signs of moving into Florida. A former DEA operative who is a colleague of mine said recently, “These Cali people are sure smart. They are a different breed to the Ochoa brothers. They act like professional businessmen. They are now larger than the Medellin cartel and I think we are going to see a lot more cocaine get into the United States than ever before. The kidnapping of Manuel Noriega will facilitate an easier flow through Panama of cocaine and money, what with so many banks there. So much for President George Bush’s Operation Just Cause. All it did was make life a great deal easier for Nicolas Ardito Barletta who used to be run by the Ochoa brothers and who is fixing to front for the Cali cartel.”

Based on my experience with the heroin trade I believe that the Committee of 300 has stepped in and taken over full control of the South American cocaine trade. There is no other explanation For the rise of the Cali cartel which is coupled with the kidnapping of Noriega. Did Bush take his orders from London regarding Noriega? There is every indication that he was literally PUSHED into invading Panama and kidnapping Noriega, who had become a serious impediment to “trade” in Panama, especially in the banking business.

Several former intelligence agents have given me their opinions which coincide with my own. Like the Gulf War that followed in the wake of Panama, it was only after several calls from the British Ambassador in Washington that Bush finally plucked up enough courage to make his totally illegal move on General Noriega. That he was supported by the British press and the New York Times, a British intelligence run newspaper, speaks volumes…

So President Trump is attacking trade routes, drug running AND oil. I certainly do not envy Trump’s job in unraveling this mess! It makes you wonder just how many ‘American Politicians’ are actually agents of the City of London.

Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle
I DIDN’T WRITE THIS BUT A VERY SMART PERSON DID!!! This should be read by every news station and every single person that is against what president Trump has done, not just for America, but for the world!!!

WRITTEN BY MICHAEL HUNTSMAN

I keep hearing “Trump doesn’t have a plan”.

First off, it doesn’t seem like the greatest idea to tell everyone what your plan is. (Especially when so many from within want you destroyed.)

However, for those of you who are unable to see it. Let me remind you.
One of Trump‘s biggest campaign promises was not only to make America energy Independent, but also to be the energy leader worldwide.

Take a look at the moves he’s already made. If you can’t see his plan, it’s because you refused to.

He told us from the start exactly what he would do when he said “America Will Lead the World in Energy”

He started almost immediately.
On February 9, 2025, he began his energy dominance plan by changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
He did this to circumvent policies designed to stop American oil drilling, refining, and shipping in the Gulf.
(The crazy half of the country lost their mind and called it racism)

Then with no delay at all, he went after the Panama Canal and regained its passage rights. (Again, the lunatics lost their mind and claimed it was about stopping innocent refugees, and therefore, ‘Racist’.)

Next came Venezuela. In a matter of minutes he captured a dictator, freed millions of people, and secured the absolute largest oil reserves in the world. (Suddenly the crazies poured into the streets, waving Venezuelan flags and demanding the dictator be returned)

Greenland came and went before their tears over the Venezuelan dictator even hit the floor.

With Greenland, he secured not only northern shipping lanes but strategic defensive positioning and mineral rights to one of the largest deposits of rare earth minerals in the world. (Think batteries, electrical components, semiconductors, etc..)

After gaining control of North and South American shipping lanes, oil, and rare earth minerals. He sets his sites on the Middle East.

Which brings us to Iran. So far he has decimated their highest leaders and military, while protecting their infrastructure of oil distribution (And the people of Iran are ecstatic).

At this very moment the U.S. is blockading the Gulf of Oman.(Arguably, more strategic than the Strait of Hormuz itself.)

In the meantime (while waiting out Iran in the Gulf of Oman) He has secured the strait of Malacca, and guaranteed control of shipping rights to the Eastern Seaborg. (Who knows how the Looney Tunes will spin that one when they find out.)

If you haven’t figured it out yet, this was the plan all along. Just like he said,
“America Will Lead the World in Energy”

Keep your eyes open, because it ain’t over yet. Next on his list will be to secure the shipping lanes around Cuba then the straits of Bosporus and Gallipoli. Completing his plan and making America the world‘s leader in energy.
Just like he said he would.

If you still fail to see the plan? Forget I mentioned any of this. Wait for the newest outrage, or stick with your most recent “Orange man bad, he has no plan”.

Whether you march in the streets waving some other countries flag, or protest a King that doesn’t exist.
His plan is being executed and is working beautifully.

America will be the Leader in World Energy.

The truth is: You, Me, and the rest of the free world will benefit greatly from his plan for generations to come.

God bless the President and God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

There are more psyops flooding social media than you could shake two sticks at. Corporate media is running a stealthy “chaos” narrative. It is a trick and an illusion. There’s no chaos. There is a plan, and the plan is working

Which brings me to The Great Game™ and The Plan™. Despite what the history books and articles on the internet say, The Great Game™ is not dead and The Plan™ is POTUS Trump’s counter.

As I have pointed out before TRADE ROUTES are critical. Ships are the way that most goods travel and good trade routes, especially ocean trade routes are ‘protected’ by the British Empire/Transnational Corporations. They use The Great Game to protect those trade routes using subterfuge, psyops and proxies.

Why the Cape of Good Hope Was a Death Trap for Sailors (21 minutes)

The Cape of Good Hope is one of the most feared and misunderstood headlands in maritime history. Famous for its brutal storms, powerful currents, and deadly reputation, it has challenged sailors for centuries. Located at the southern tip of Africa, this headland became a turning point in global trade, navigation, and exploration. But why did so many ships wreck here? And what secrets still linger along its coastline? This video explains the full story from Bartolomeu Dias’s historic voyage to the modern tourist landmarks seen today. Learn about the shipwrecks that never made it past the cape, the explorers who gambled with nature, and the lasting impact this location had on maritime routes and colonial empires.


And if you think the Cape of Good Hope was bad, Drake Passage, around the tip of South America is worse!

Why Even Modern Ships Fear the Drake Passage (15 minutes)

Between South America and Antarctica lies this infamous stretch—800 ships lost, over 10,000 lives claimed. But what makes it so deadly? And why do explorers, scientists, and adventurers still risk everything to face it? In this video, we explore the geological origins, harrowing shipwrecks, historic crossings, and the legendary Antarctic expeditions that battled its wrath—from the fate of the San Telmo and HMS Wager, to the desperate escape of Shackleton’s crew aboard the Endurance. You’ll also discover the chilling story of the Belgica, the first vessel to overwinter in Antarctica, trapped for nearly a year in the ice beyond the Drake.

As you can see, digging a canal thru Panama and thru the Suez was very attractive to merchants.

The idea of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama dates back to the 1500s, when Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the narrow land-bridge in 1513
, realizing it could connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. — BRAVE AI

History of the Panama canal; its construction and building (38 pages)

Quicky by Encyclopedia Britannica
Panama Canal | Definition, History, Ownership, Treaty.


Panama Canal, lock-type canal, owned and administered by the Republic of Panama, that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the narrow Isthmus of Panama. The length of the Panama Canal from shoreline to shoreline is about 40 miles (65 km) and from deep water in the Atlantic (more specifically, the Caribbean Sea) to deep water in the Pacific about 50 miles (82 km). The canal, which was completed in August 1914, is one of the two most strategic artificial waterways in the world, the other being the Suez Canal. 

Ships sailing between the east and west coasts of the United States, which otherwise would be obliged to round Cape Horn in South America, shorten their voyage by about 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km) by using the canal. Savings of up to 3,500 nautical miles (6,500 km) are also made on voyages between one coast of North America and ports on the other side of South America. Ships sailing between Europe and East Asia or Australia can save as much as 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) by using the canal…

X is a superb read. Check it out.

Readers Digest version of Trump taking charge, Globally.

THE DONROE DOCTRINE JUST WENT LIVE AND IT’S A FUCKING MASTERCLASS IN LETHAL AMERICAN SUPREMACY.

While the world was hypnotized by bombs and headlines, President Trump dropped the hammer:

Effective IMMEDIATELY, the U.S. Development Finance Corporation is underwriting cheap political risk insurance for EVERY maritime trade route through the Persian Gulf…energy first, no exceptions.

Navy escorts through the Strait of Hormuz on standby. Free flow of oil secured by American guns, American capital, American will.

This isn’t “diplomacy”. This is the Donroe Doctrine…Trump’s iron-fisted evolution of the Monroe Doctrine, but projected across the planet’s most critical chokepoint. No more foreign powers…Chinese proxies, Iranian fanatics, or London parasites…dictating terms in America’s economic sphere…

I am going to get into a video that looks at the financial aspects. This is a fan made synopsis of episode 1,984 with Col Watkins, Luongo, EMB 1 minute You may want to slow it down.

(The colonel says very little as the financial guys get into the nitty gritty.)

….

This is the actual 2 hr video. It is pretty deep into the financial octopus and how it works. Much of it is an interesting conversation between E. M. Burlingame and Tom Luongo. My biggest take away was at 50 minutes.

At 50 minutes: “The most powerful law in the English world is TRUST LAW…TRUST COURTS…. going back to William the Conqueror. THAT IS WHY THEY WENT TO EPSTEIN FOR TAX ADVICE. He was a master as was Paul Helliwell and Maxwell. At 57 minutes they get into WHY the Commonwealth freaked when Trump said he wanted Canada as 51st state. Ontario has a lot of accessible GOLD in the ground. The financial system is ultimately built on contracts & trusts based on the assets IN THE GROUND. If they are in the ground, how do you steal them?”

Helliwell was a lawyer, a banker and CIA.

Tradebait should really find this video interesting.

Counterchaos | Col. Watkins, Susan Kokinda (Tommy’s PodCast #1,986) (1 hour)

I want to place this snippet near the top since it is of major interest.

TRANSCRIPT

53:32 – Colonel Watkins

I’ve noticed in my research and I mentioned it earlier, the whole strategy of tension and creating the chaos [False Flags –GC] so that you can make order out of that chaos. It’s almost like we’ve turned the tables on the people that did that for nefarious reasons. There’s a certain amount of chaos that gets generated in each of these different departments. [For example] homeland security but you can see the order forming out of it that is much more positive. So it [the targeting] looks like this scattergram of these pockets of picking up all of these illegals, you know the rapists and terrorists and stuff like that. But if you overlay that [scattergram] with the research that I’ve done into the terror networks. The cells in the United States and the drug networking, the narco pieces, that’s a perfect overlay of where these operations are going on. And if you’re going to change the interior of the United States and transition us out of living in fear. [Out of] having easy access to narcotics and stuff like that, you would not be doing anything any differently. It looks chaotic, but it is in a very controlled way. I mean, when you’re breaking an old system, it’s going to look messy. Yes? But if the intention is to do something better, which clearly it is the case with this administration… And you look at it kind of like the Phoenix Program where you burn it down to rebuild it in to the global order. that’s not what’s happening here. We are destroying their Phoenix Program.

SEE: Operation Phoenix – MonkeyWerx

3:30 Susan Kakinda:

Obviously the whole world is looking at the president’s actions in Iran, and I I just think it’s really important for people to first of all take this administration at face value. They’re saying what they’re doing. They are saying, “This is not regime change.” Pete Hegth said, “I’ve lived in perpetual wars. This is not a perpetual war. This is a strategic strike against what has been for decades a fulcrum of intelligence operations that have been used by the globalists to keep the Middle East in flames and to have a larger trigger point in general. Now, you know what precipitated the immediate timing of this? Again, I choose to take people like Marco Rubio and Steve Whit face value. They said, “We tried to negotiate. We offered them free enriched uranium if they want to have a civilian nuclear program. They rejected it and at a certain point you just pull the trigger. Um you know the the other thing I would contrast taking the administration at face value in terms of why they’re doing what they’re doing and what they did is let’s look at the regime changers. Look at people like John Bolton. Look at Britain’s Chattam House. Look at, you know, one of the people who probably has one of the most severe cases of TDS and Apple Balm of the Atlantic. You know, all of them are hysterical that this is not their playbook. This is something else. Now, how is it going to play out? It’s a war. I don’t know. Um, can it go sideways? Sure, it could go sideways. Could it end up having a bad effect on the midterm elections if it goes sideways? Of course, it will. But the key thing about President Trump is he’s a risktaker. I think he takes the risks for the right reasons and we’re just going to have to see where this goes.

5:36 — Colonel Watkins.

I agree with everything Susan just said. What I do is look at things historically and how these entities has manifested themselves over time. The understanding that where we’ve been. I was kind of shocked when I started digging into the post 1980 financial ties of the EU to Iran. [Big grin on Susan’s Face.] , They continued. I’m talking about what we’re sold in the United States as this evil empire in Iran ran by the mulluhs. If that is true, (and they’re definitely evil,) why did the EU continue through cutouts to massively trade with them? And they did. [Susan nods] And during this entire time, if you go back and you look at the 1980 Reagan-Bush administration selling missiles to them through cutouts. You just see this perpetual engagement basically on a military/intelligence use of Iran. Iran became very convenient because basically through sanctions, you’re not allowed to affiliate with them. But on the underneath side of that, that perpetuated the CIA’s [use.]

I just posted about this this morning, Crypto AG, the encrypted communication [device] that was fielded all

over the world and was still being used by Iran with a back door for the CIA to monitor everything that they were doing.

…..

A quick look at Crypto AG.
UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK -UK

Operation Rubicon: The most Successful intelligence heist of the 20th century

I can not copy from that site so here is Brave AI

Operation Rubicon was a covert intelligence operation conducted by the CIA and BND (West German intelligence), widely regarded as the most successful intelligence heist of the 20th century.  It began in the 1950s with a secret “Gentlemen’s Agreement” between CIA cryptologist William Friedman and Crypto AG founder Boris Hagelin, and culminated in the 1970 secret purchase of the Swiss encryption company by the CIA and BND. This allowed them to manipulate Crypto AG’s cipher machines—sold to over 120 countries—to include hidden backdoors, enabling the U.S. and Germany to intercept and decrypt diplomatic, military, and intelligence communications worldwide. 

The operation, code-named Thesaurus initially and later Rubicon, provided unprecedented access to global secrets for over 50 years, influencing major Cold War events such as the Camp David Accords (1978), the Iran Hostage Crisis (1979), the Berlin Discotheque bombing (1986), and the 1973 Chilean coup.  The CIA described it as the “intelligence coup of the century”, with foreign governments unknowingly paying for the privilege of having their most sensitive communications read by at least two, and possibly up to six, foreign powers. 

The operation ended in 2018, though revelations only emerged in 2020 through investigative reporting by ZDF, SRF, and The Washington Post, based on a 280-page intelligence dossier.  Despite ethical concerns—such as the imprisonment of Crypto AG employee Hans Bühler in Iran and the compromise of allies—the operation is considered a landmark in signals intelligence (SIGINT), reshaping perceptions of Cold War espionage and highlighting the central role of Germany in global intelligence. —

BACK TO TRANSCRIPT

7:20 Colonel Towner:

So again, and these are my words, but it almost seems like Iran, much like the former Soviet Union, becomes this boogeyman in which all of this funding — well, if you’re not trading with them, they would have a whole lot less funds — perpetuated this radical Islamic terror. [And] after the 1990s,[it became] the new boogeyman because the Soviet Union was gone. [Thus] perpetuating the strategy of tension and perpetual chaos. Decapitating that, which is basically what we’re doing right now. I agree with Susan. You have to take President Trump at face value. He is telling you exactly what we’re doing. And he is piece by piece eliminating the chessboard of this behind-the-scenes manipulation of all of us across the world, not just the United States, not just Europe, and not just Asia, all of us collectively.

8:40 Susan Kokinda

If you go back to President Trump’s first administration and his first foreign trip which you know was kind of surprising because it was to Saudi Arabia. You know you expect our European allies or Japan or whatever. And what did he do? He went to Saudi Arabia and he laid down the law because the Saudi support for Islamic fundamentalism was real. They had much more to do with 9/11 than poor Saddam Hussein. Uh, and he went to Saudi Arabia and he said, “That’s it. It’s over. You are no longer going to support Islamic terrorism.” So, even going back that far, he was starting to take these chess pieces off the chessboard.[Colonel Towner nodding] And go back even further, of course, you know, the mother of Islamic terrorism is the Brits.The British created the Muslim Brotherhood going all the way back to 1922. [The Colonel grins,nods and says right] So these are big moves. It’s also very entrenched.

But I think the important thing, as the colonel said, is don’t look at it inside the immediate news cycle. Look at it from the standpoint that, the British Great Game always creates pawns. Whether it’s Muslim fundamentalism or something [like] Adolf Hitler who turned into a Frankenstein monster. [The Colonel grins and nods] And that doesn’t mean you don’t have Frankenstein monster situations. Out of control operations that then turn around and bite you on the butt like Hitler did.

But if you pull back the curtain on all of this and you look at what President Trump was doing deliberately, to the extent he could in his first administration. He didn’t have that much of an ability because he was under attack immediately. And he had a bunch of idiots in his administration like John Bolton. [Colonel giggles] This administration is very different. This is his team. They are executing.

I’m sure the colonel appreciates the fact that you never hear any leaks when it comes to negotiating [Colonel laughs and says NEVER] NOTHING, this is locked down tight because they are executing. They are deliberately moving step by step by step. Including working with people — you know we’ve discussed this and I’m sure you’ve discussed it, if you’ve been on shows with Tom Luongo and Alex Krainer. You look at Syria, and you sit there and say, “What is he doing working with this guy?” But then you say, “Okay, he knows these –or Erdogan,– people who have been, or [are] capabilities for the British Great Game. He’s taking those pieces away from them. Doesn’t mean they’ve reformed, but he’s taking those pieces away from them.”

11:20 Colonel Towner

And I think that’s a critical point. My assessment of Trump’s first term was basically exposing what people like to refer to as the deep state. I call it the international syndicate. Putting the people that represent them, like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and those people, front and center. And I think that in many ways the leaks, which was a kind of a colander during his first administration. [It] was [used for] tracing those networks and where they all ended up so that he has a complete view of the playing field for this second term. I think that’s critically important.

I don’t think most people, [know our real history.] Our history is basically a total lie in the United States. As far as what our government –and by government I’m primarily focusing on the CIA, which I argue doesn’t even actually work for the president in the past. [The CIA] in the past has perpetuated all over the world these regime change operations and stuff like that. [And our ‘official’ history does not cover that -GC.]


So, I see that Trump did that in Venezuela and John Bolton and Mike Pompeo set that up in Venezuela. I think he was highlighting for the American people this exposure operation of how these people operate. And I think for the first time during Trump’s first administration, many Americans, I know certainly in my family was like, “What the heck is going on?” Because most presidents, who in the past have been part of this operation, work with the mockingbird media and they hide all of this. It was literally what has been going on since post World Warii. [Trump put it] front and center on every news cycle. And I think that was very revealing to prepare the battlefield for Trump’s second term. And to your point about him going to the Middle East, because it wasn’t just Saudi Arabia. I mean, it’s Qatar. And he signed the executive order saying that if anybody attacks Qatar, it’s like they’re [attacking us] And you see all of the neocons come out of the woodwork. Oh my gosh. Qatar’s training pilots.

At first it came out that they established a Qatari air force base in Idaho. I’m like no, no no we train pilots. I enlisted in 1979. I was in aircraft maintenance. We were training Jordanians and everybody else in my tech school so we’ve done that obviously for a very long time. So you can see it’s again an exposure operation. The neocons that are out there pretending to be MAGA are the ones that leap out with the most audacious, ridiculous assessments of everything that’s going on.

This most recent with Iran and the Atlantic [Mag] coming out saying he doesn’t know anything that he’s doing. Well, just look at the board of the Atlantic Council. It has just about every retired CIA director that is still breathing. They’re going to tell you what the talking points are from their perspective, which literally has nothing to do with reality.

14:50 Tommy:

It’s that very beautiful game being played, but it’s also a complex game. It’s not as simple as there’s the evil guy headquarters, a big castle on a hill and we just have to, you know, find our balls and go fight it. It’s by design. It’s much more intelligent. It’s an illusion of control. It’s the idea that there is no mockingbird media. What are you talking about? We don’t have state-run media. We have blah blah blah. That’s also much harder to fight against. Because openly, if you just start attacking these things, you’re going to look like the guy going against freedom.

But, you know, there is police brutality, but in the funniest way. Like a lot of body cam [footage] you see is when you know some dude that looks like me getting drunk outside of a bar and then he gets punched in the face. You’re like, he was kind of asking for it, man. I’ve been pulled over. Even if you’ve done nothing, you understand. It’s, here’s a cop with a gun on the side of a highway. You’re not exactly at a peaceful area. Go along, talk about it. And then at the end, they’re like, “Oh, yeah. You’re good to go.” in a funny way. It’s actually illuminated more than any amount of anecdotal evidence ever could.

It’s much harder to do that, but it’s how you unwind it. That’s what a lot of this was. Nothing as we just said, Colonel, is like a lot of this stuff [that] was theorized by crazy people like me that didn’t go to prom and was reading Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner instead. I actually did that. It’s a lot harder to show because you have to go through this very slow. But then you look at where we are now everything from Russian collusion to COVID to the stolen election to more and more and more it’s just one by one you’re seeing these things. It’s a very long and slow process but that’s what’s needed.

16:40 Susan Kokindra

And one of the probably most critical factor in the whole thing is none of this would have come out if it weren’t for the courage of Donald Trump. You force it into the open because you actually fight. Every other previous president either capitulated to it or got shot. You know, Ronald Reagan, it was a little bit of both. He got shot and then, increasingly he capitulated to it or really wasn’t in control, especially in his second term. But that the unique characteristic. Because I think as you said people are experiencing it. I’ve talked about it for 50 years. It was a little teeny tiny part of the population that was ready for it. Then a large part of the population goes in there, supports Donald Trump sees all the things that happened to him, sees more happen to him, see him stand up and fight, forcing more and more of this out into the open.

[I am going to add, I think the 2008 mortgage crisis was the wake-up for a lot of people. We had the Tea Party, that the Elite tried to shut down by calling them racist and by starting up the AstroTurf group called ‘Occupy Wall Street’ It did not matter the Bank Bailouts using OUR MONEY was the shock that woke a lot of people up. — GC]

I think Trump is very conscious of that. I think he recognizes the role of populations as a strategic factor. He can do more when he’s got a population backing him. And that’s why all this disinformation crap, inside the MAGA movement is frankly one of the most dangerous things. It’s not the batshit crazy Democrats. They’re a given factor, right? But you know it’s the Tucker Carlsons and the MTGs [and] whatever is motivating them. The effect that it has is, if he can rely less on his base, that is an actual strategic factor.


But you look at it globally, a lot of people say, well Marco Rubio was much more conciliatory toward the Europeans. I frankly I don’t think he was conciliatory. But compared to JD Vance the tone was much less [harsh.] I think what Marco Rubio was doing, and this is I think the way the president functions, he wasn’t talking to the European leaders. He wasn’t talking to Kier Starmer or Macron. He was talking to the people. He was basically saying we need Europe to return to its traditions. You are a factor. Maybe you could change the direction of your country. I think Trump, the president and his administration are always, you know, thinking in those terms. I mean, even in terms of Israel, you know, at one point Trump said, “I’m more popular in Israel than Bibi Netanyahu.” And I’m sure that’s true. And he needs to become even more popular to be able to deal with that situation. But, you know, he I think he takes that into account.

19:20 Colonel Towner

So, I think the the first sign that everything had changed. That we weren’t any longer rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic was Trump’s fake news campaign.[laughter] Because that started instantly. It was my signal that everything had changed. He took on the mocking bird media.

19:45 Tommy:

That’s the most important control mechanism.

19:55 Colonel Towner:

It is. I was shocked and I knew everything had changed the day I heard him call out fake news. If you go back in time back to post World War II with the psychological strategy board, this has always been an operation to control our minds. And as soon as he pulled up that battle flag with the fake news, I was just enthralled that finally we have someone that’s going to take on this entire institution and dismantle it. I think that was critical.. because everything is downstream from that. It’s almost impossible prior to President Trump and the fake news campaign to find real news. Obviously Elon buying X has kicked that into high gear. But that was just like a fundamental shift of the axis for all of us to operate under. It allows people like Susan to have much more exposure in talking about reality as opposed to what is being shoved down our throats through the mockingbird media.

21:25 Susan Kokinda

It’s absolutely the case. I’ll just reflect on my own experience.

For 40 years, you feel like a voice in the wilderness, right? Donald Trump comes along and basically breaks the matrix, and then what you see, and we all see this in terms of the kinds of responses that we get, in the various venues and forums that we’re on, people are so hungry to put the pieces together. It’s like they knew it. They knew something. One of the most visceral responses I got was the show I did in response to Marco Rubio’s Munich speech where I picked up on the fact that he said de-industrialization was a conscious policy. It wasn’t a mistake. My mind went back. [To the] Council on Foreign Relations 1977, [who said] the control disintegration of the world economy is a legitimate objective so we can destroy sovereign nations. And when I did that show, the comments that I got were where you could just see people were saying, you know, that’s what I thought. I knew it, but you’ve now given voice to the fact that the horror that I’ve lived through, this process of disintegration of the United States and other countries was not random. And and that’s one of the key, tools of the elites. They want people to feel helpless. It’s a random world. Shit happens.

It certainly was for my generation. That’s what they tried to do with us with the two Kennedy assassinations. You’re sitting there, 14 years old, the president gets killed [by a] crazy lone assassin. The world is supposed to go on. I was campaigning for Bobby Kennedy senior in ’68 in California when he was shot. And again they try and shove it down your throat and you have no place to validate the fact that YOU KNOW these were conspiracies.

I had a friend who was eight at the time JFK was shot. He said to me, the minute I saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald I knew it was a conspiracy. I was 8 years old, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist but you couldn’t do anything about it. Nobody would validate it. You got the you’re crazy treatment like Mark Lane who tried to expose the Kennedy assassination. So you just sort of spiral into this hopelessness.

This is what they certainly did to my generation. Because what comes in on the heels of that? [Vietnam –GC] the rock-drug-sex counterculture. Forget about being a productive person. Thinking about the future. Thinking about raising a family. Just turn on, drop out, get stoned and get screwed. I mean that’s basically what they told us. And unless you have some some way to begin to put the picture together, and it’s very hard to do as an individual. I’d say maybe 5% of the American population kind of hung on through those years. And then Donald Trump comes along and the lid blows off and people are saying, “Thank God, I wasn’t crazy. This was this was deliberate.” And now that it’s knowable, we can do something about it.

25:00 Tommy:

The courage point is the most important point. Like I’ve seen just through this podcast, the podcast’s a little over six years old. Right into the immediate baptism by fire. I was interviewing Dr. Malone and Dr. Mercola. I was banned from YouTube for them before they ever even went on Joe Rogan. And it was just, I knew it was wrong and getting on these doctors and I was going up the chain of command like maybe this doctor thinks. The higher and higher I went the worse and worse the red alarms were getting and I was like wait I thought eventually one of them was going to be like it’s not that. The higher and higher until I got the guy with the patent and he was this is evil and I was well shit and like doing that and I knew it was wrong and again it’s the courage. They had a lot more to lose than me. It’s the courage and as it comes out more now we look at it as just fact.

You do have to look back at. The guys that they were at the beginning, it’s like in chemistry lab. It’s called the point of nucleation it’s where you put in a little piece of metal or plastic. It’s like putting a piece of ice in a cold cup of water and then it all forms off of that. In the same way now you have to put yourself back in 2020 and be thinking of how insane the PSYOPs were. But if you know what you know now and you’re like hey the sooner everyone starts to talk about it, all the people just under the surface, they’re going to nucleate to that, and then it becomes self-evident.

You have to understand that’s where we are now with whatever the next thing is. So if you feel it’s wrong, understand that most people around you probably also feel it’s wrong, but they all think they’re alone, just as you think you’re alone. So you have to be courageous and say something. The quicker [you do, the quicker] I believe the veil will come off. And Back to the whole media, what you were saying Colonel Watkins is how do you make people feel lonely? Well, if you control the messaging of everything and the media goes 99% of people think Donald Trump’s retarded. If you’re going, I kind of like him. You’re like, I guess I’ll shut up. I don’t want to be, you know, I don’t want to be that guy. I don’t want to be uninvited to the party.

27:00 Colonel Towner

Definitely on purpose. So, back to Susan’s point about the 60s again. The psychological operations, all of it was planned. Just like what she was saying about the deindustrialization, all of it is planned. And my light bulb moment in all of this was going back and reading the Fabian Society’s agenda. And you find out as early as the late 1800s, they’re talking about one world government. I was shocked by that. I’d never even heard of the Fabian Society, but they talked about eugenics. they talked about, basically controlling the population and controlling people’s reproduction. And then you go back and you realize that there were test cases, if you will. They were being done throughout the early 1900s in the United States. Like with the indigenous population in America, where we were taking women and children off of Indian reservations and educating them basically in boarding schools to make them not indigenous, to make them more mainstream. So the was a conscious decision to break down cultural heritages across the globe. This has been done throughout the entire century of the 1900s where we’ve divided, by the drawing of the boundaries after World War I and World War II. You cross sectionalized and grouped cultures that were basically century old enemies of each other because then you can create chaos. All you have to do is throw a match on the kindling anytime you want a war. Anytime you want to create a false flag to get more money into the military-industrial complex.

Once you understand that so much of all of this was planned in order to bring about this one world control mechanism, it’s shocking especially for someone like me who grew up in that system um and didn’t know any of this existed. And that’s kind of one of the things we’re talking about, people’s input. I have been met when we go country by country and dissect CIA operations during a regime change operation. [Alpha’s Gladio Series -GC]
I have had so many people that lived in that country either during it or in the immediate aftermath of it or whatever that will go that’s not how that happened. I had some one lady on a Zoom call tell me that, you know, she knew all of these people in Iran during the
Mosaddegh overthrow and that there was no such thing as stay-behinds in the southern part of Iran.

It’s documented. It’s declassified in CIA documents. They did do that.

There were military people in there training those people. They created the foot soldiers in order to get them out on the streets later on. I said, “Look, I understand that you didn’t know about this aspect of this operation. I spent 30 years in the military and had no idea most of any of this went on. I lived in Italy for three years during the exposure of Operation Gladio. I didn’t know it was even called Operation Gladio because they called it “Years of Lead.” And where I lived in the southern part, that’s what it was referred to. But when I found Paul Williams book about Operation Gladio, I’m like, “Oh my god, I’ve lived through the exposure of that and I didn’t know.” So you can live in a country, you can be in an institution and not know what is going on around you. People need to understand that.

31:00 Susan Kokinda

I think one of one of the things that people don’t actually realize is the kind of control. It what really goes to the point that you’re making. You’re living through it and you don’t see it. Why? Because you think what they’re doing is normal. That is, you’ve accepted their set of axioms. You want to go back to the Fabian society. Go back to the assault on our culture at the beginning of the 20th century which has obviously continued and accelerated. What you see is that they want to get inside people’s minds in the sense that, rather than looking at the world as human beings naturally do, as creative human beings. You can see it with a child. You can see it with a child playing with blocks. What is that child actually doing when he plays with blocks? He’s actually figuring out how the world works. You stack them up one way and they stay and you stack them up another way, they’re going to fall over. This is the child actually experimenting with the way the world works. And that’s how the human mind should work. It is natural. We’re in a world that God created. It’s a creative world. He gave us creativity so that we could understand it and live in it and prove it and make it better and so on.

What is it that the imperialists do? What is it that the empire does? And this goes back thousands of years. You can start with Aristotle, my least favorite philosopher. Who basically says, “No, no, you’re not a creative mind. You’re just your senses. You’re no different than your pet dog. We’re going to bombard your senses. We’re going to manipulate your senses. We’re going to immerse your senses. And if they can reduce people to just responding from the standpoint of their senses, then they don’t have to put you in chains, because they’ve got you. So you can be in the middle of something like Operation Gladio or the overthrow [of your government] or frankly all those poor deranged people still in the United States who don’t see that there was a coup carried out against the president of the United States. Why? Because they’re in the mindset which has been created by these people and this looks normal and natural to them. They don’t even understand how much they are controlled. That’s why they’re always afraid of somebody like Donald Trump. [who is] outside the box, right? Completely creative, completely a risktaker, they could not profile this man, no matter what. It’s sort of the little boy who stands up and says the emperor has no clothes. You know all of a sudden everybody says oh yeah I knew that.

34:00 Tommy

What’s more outside of the system than anything? A higher power. God the creator. That knows there is good and evil. That’s far above the president, that’s far above the CIA. And when you do, that also gives you the courage to go “Maybe they’re wrong. Maybe the people telling me that we’re just these stupid humans. We’re inefficient and we got to get in the pot and eat ze bug.” and you got to euthanize them. And you start to believe it if your higher power is the state.


But if you look beyond that it’s a form of wonder. And wonder really means is you’ve a potential for more ways to put the blocks together. That you can step outside of it. What you’re saying is they can not create. That’s why all the sequels. You know what is making Helen of Helen of Troy a black woman? It’s like this is all just you’re taking something, you’re putting something on it. You’re a DJ doing a remix, but you’re not making the original music. I truly believe that evil cannot create. It can control and pervert and it can shave stuff off, but it can never just make something. I think that’s the endowment of the creator. It really is. It’s you spoiler. It all comes down to good versus evil. But I think that’s what this is. You can control, you can label, you can this, you can label that. You don’t need a trillion dollars in algorithms. What you can do is just make I don’t know a platform and go, “Yeah, maybe the best thing would just rise to the top.” And it does.

That is the Transcript to 35 minutes.

Some important points from the rest of the video.

1. If you had to do a 100 year or 200 year march through the institutions, then by definition you’re doing something that you know the vast majority of people hate.

2. As you rise higher in military or business, you are developed to be risk-adverse conformists.

3. If you have someone at the top of an organization or department within an organization who is an outside the box thinker, you can see rapidly changes. This time around POTUS has pick those sorts of outside the box thinkers and we can already see the changes in the military. The Colonel said “I still have several friends that are on active duty. They’re feeling that real change in their lives.”

4. Susan Kokindra points out you have the outside insiders, like Scott Scott Bessant.

41:45 Susan Kokinda

Here’s somebody who comes from the inside, worked with George Soros, helped bring down the British pound. These are fairly sophisticated, insider operations, but that’s not where his identity is. He grew up as a middle class kid from South Carolina. The mission of the US Treasury is now completely different than it was a year ago. The previous mission was to bail out the too big to fail banks. That is no longer the mission of the Treasury. It is the real economy and household incomes.

44:10 — Colonel Towner

This is one of the things that I think people in general fail to grasp. If I’m on a battlefield, one of the key things that you try to do is co-opt one of the insiders on the other side for intelligence purposes. So, if you look at President Trump’s career, one of the things that made him the most lethal to the opposing party was his insider information. He grew up in that system. He grew up in the Hollywood system which is totally corrupt to include intelligence ties. He grew up in the New York mafia infested construction business. He was in the South Florida totally mafia driven real estate. His purchase of the resort international which was a CIA front. um his um exposure to the casino industry, again, intelligence, CIA ties… That’s what he brings to the table. He knows how they operate. He can be 10 steps down the road with that intelligence background that no one else has. I look at Scott Bessent the same way.

………………..

And another tidbit.

The rating agency that feeds the info to the actuary used by LLoyds of London is just across the Thames from MI6.

from 1 hr 15 min at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfSYtgkQh4E

What is even more interesting is, since 9-11 my ponies have been insured thru Lloyds since we could get no other insurance. Over 30 years and no claim. HOWEVER last spring they REFUSED TO INSURE!!!

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

This New Pyramid Theory Explains the Missing Evidence (19 minutes)


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As nasty and disgusting and vomit worthy as Epstein’s sexcapades were, the media’s focus on that hides the real bombshell. As Putin said, The West Is Controlled By Satanic Pedophiles and Epstien was an important node in their network.

Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action points out some of the evidence.

TRANSCRIPT from YouTube

4:20:

Their concern isn’t that regime change will fail. Their concern is that it’s being done without them… Iran’s new leadership is calling Washington because Washington is the only party that actually changed anything. The British have played the great game in the shadows for over a hundred years. Now it’s in the open and it’s being stymied…

let’s talk about what the Iran strike did to the so-called special relationship because this is where over a 100 years of British manipulation of American policy is shattering right out in the open. When the strikes began on Saturday, Britain’s position was extraordinary. The UK was informed Friday afternoon. Not included. Starmer refused to let the US use the British bases in Diego Garcia or in Britain itself. Britain refused not because it developed a conscience about international law. It refused because it’s no longer running the table. And the British press admitted that it is the end of the game for the special relationship with a headline that read, “Stormer faces greater quandry over special relationship after Iran attack.” And that article pointed out that Starmer appears to have had little influence on Trump who went ahead regardless…

But it wasn’t just Britain. France, Germany, and the UK issued a joint statement clarifying first and foremost they did not participate in the strikes. Not a statement of strategy, a statement of absence. And the best the European Union could manage was Ursula von der Leyen sending a message to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. And here’s what she said. As our strategic partner, we will work closely with you to deescalate and safeguard regional stability. You can count on our full support in these turbulent times. The European Union — Gulf Cooperation Council partnership will only get stronger in the period ahead.

Now, the responses to this on X were brutal. One commentator appropriately rephrased it, quote, “In other words, Trump won’t take my call and we have no clue what’s going on.” That’s exactly right. And the statesman drill down on the same point. The Iran war makes it official. America is breaking with Europe. So, the special relationship is cracking in public. When Tehrān calls, it calls Washington, not London.

And the question worth asking is how did that special relationship actually work? Not the photo ops and the state visits. What was the real mechanism? Part of the answer is former Prince Andrew. Let’s go back to 2008 when the British were still happily directing American foreign policy. Andrew, then Britain’s special representative for international trade, sat down in Kyrgyzstan with a room that included businessmen, government officials, and the American ambassador. The American ambassador wrote it all down in a cable later published by Wikileaks and she told people that what Andrew told the room with astonishing frankness was the following. The United Kingdom, Western Europe, and by extension, you Americans too are now back in the thick of playing the great game and this time we aim to win. He wasn’t being metaphorical. He was describing it to an American diplomat on the record. the actual operating framework of British foreign policy, not the public version dressed up in democracy and human rights, but the real version in his official capacity as Britain’s trade representative.

Now, Andrew’s been arrested, the first royal arrest in centuries, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Epstein files contain evidence he was passing confidential trade reports into Epstein’s networks. So the man who bragged about winning the great game was runningBritish strategic intelligence through Jeffrey Epstein. That is not a personal scandal. That is the operating method of the imperial apparatus now on public record. And shortly after Andrews arrest came the arrest of Lord Peter Mandelen who had been appointed by Starmer as Britain’s ambassador to Washington. Sent to manage the special relationship at the very moment Trump came in for his second term.

The Epstein files show that Mandlesson was passing advanced knowledge of British financial policy into the same networks. So the geopolitical operative and the financial operative, both out on bail, arrested, both exposed at the same moment. The apparatus itself is being dismantled. The Iran strike ended the special relationship and it’s out in the open. Britain is sidelined. Europe is issuing statements of absence. Tehrān is calling Washington. And simultaneously, the men who ran the real special relationship, Andrew running the geopolitical side, Mandlesson running the financial intelligence are on the chopping block, taken off the board together. This is not a coincidence. This is the end of geopolitics. Now, ending an entrenched system is not easy and it is dangerous. That is why you have to stay focused and on the stage of history.

Jeff Childers gives us more hints.

☕️ SHADOWS OF SHAME ☙ Friday, February 27, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

…The more I see from the Epstein files, the more convinced I am that Epstein was being careful, and wasn’t documenting whatever it was that he was really up to. And it does look like he was involved in things he wasn’t writing down. In an interview with Mario Nawfal on X, Forensic analyst Dr. Jason Garrison, who has extensively reviewed the files, highlighted several instances where Epstein explicitly stated variations like, “I don’t like putting things in writing, call me instead….

The question nobody seems to be asking is: what was discussed at the dinner? There are plenty of hints. Jeffrey was, for example, very interested in genetics, vaccines, and DNA. He does not seem very interested in real philanthropy.

A genuine philanthropist doesn’t need to launder donations through shell entities, doesn’t tell recipients to hide the source, and doesn’t use the giving as a mechanism to get one-on-one meetings with young researchers and grad students…. But as most of the public intuitively understands, this story is far bigger than sex trafficking… We haven’t yet seen a fraction of what was really going on…


Some of the stuff, Epstein could have been into.

ALIENS

I find it interesting that after all this time the subject is re-surfacing and in a meaningful way.

I watched a new Josh Reid & Alpha Warrior video. As I said to Wolf, Josh is a bit of a flake. On the other hand, if you are not willing to even listen to ‘Conspiracy Theories’ how can you judge? Anyway, Josh goes thru the various Alien ‘evidence’ Human contact, grays reptilians … with video clips. Josh mentions he & his family have had contact, that is he & his brother disappeared for several hours while traveling between houses and have zero memory of what happen.

I can not cast stones because a couple caving buddies and I watched Rome Air Force Base scramble three jets to TRY and chase a UFO. [ my old comment]


Picture an elderly lame Basset Hound trying to catch a F1 race car, sudden square corners and then GONE. What is interesting is it was in the same area, upstate NY and I think during the same decade as Josh Reid’s encounters. Even more interesting is Tonawanda ALSO saw a UFO in upstate NY! [Comment]

This is Wolf’s book suggestion. Josh discusses this too. The Day After Roswell

Wolf on UFOs

Roll Out The Sport Model!

and

Grey Swan Event Flock – Why Nothing Can Stop What’s Coming video is 1 hour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpN5PjOxHbo


And Wolf’s very important comment

EXCERPTS:

Well, based on what this guy is saying, he is talking about stuff which would be elegantly explained by the theories I thought were missing. I know exactly what he is talking about, and he would have known exactly what I’m talking about.

Which is another tell. This guy acts just like a lot of scientists I’ve known. Just like normal. Just like he was in the lab next door explaining his stuff.

HOLY SHIT.

But his case also explains why they were interested in using MK on scientists, and presumably experimenting on it at the time. If you can keep their secret stuff compartmentalized, it can be protected. This guy (and maybe others) had gone off the ranch, and the military had a security problem. So they HANDED OFF THE PROBLEM to the CIA to deal with MK experiments. Which (from my point of view) are to some extent successful and to some extent not.

And everybody is still interested in these problems.

But OMG – I am so happy that:

– the class of theories I thought should have existed actually exist
– the theories work
– they would explain the island of stability
– there IS an island of stability
– elements in that island of stability create cool tech

HOLY SHIT! This stuff is REAL!

OK. Now I know why Cankles is in trouble!

She gave this shit to China! Without permission!

Josh had a slightly different take. 2:03:00 — 2:06:00 in the next video posted.
SAP programs:
Special Access Programs (SAPs) are highly restricted, classified programs within the U.S. government that require security measures exceeding standard clearance levels. Trump was recruited by Generals because people were selling off SAP programs. Josh figured out what was in Hilary’s SAPs that she was selling. The US governments most top secret projects ===> University & profs who were receiving grants on SAPs. Hilary gave them the who, what & where & the scientist were  recruited by China via funding the universities & profs.

At 2:06:00 Josh gets into Charles Lieber and the covid info funneled to Wuhan. He lists a lot of other scientists.


Do not forget that Cankles & Billy Boy are very well connected to Epstein too.


That covers the first part of the following video (2 1/2 hours) from Wolf’s point of view. Now I am going to concentrate on what Josh said in the second half, after his Aliens history lesson.


Epstein was not just into child sex trafficking. He was into collecting billionaires. ALL billionaires. But the critical point is he was very much into funding genetic experiments… on humans. Now if some of the weirder Conspiracy Theories I have been hearing are even partially true that could explain the obsession not only with genetic engineering but with AI. You would NEED AI to be able to control a ship moving at the speeds I saw that thing moving. A human could not respond fast enough.

At around 1 hr Josh says AI is a must win because of military considerations.

Josh says at 1:42:00
AI learns from what we input. The questions we ask, our interactions with it. So, do we want it to learn from Satanic Pedos or from God fearing Patriots?

And then he gets into some other interesting stuff.

Remember at the World Economic Forum in 2020,  Yuval Noah Harari talked about “hackable humans” Yuval Harari promoted the idea that the Earth no longer needs humans
Back to the video:
At ~ 1 hr 50 min, Josh talks about the ‘singularity’ where AI outstrips human intelligence. So the elite are trying to make a super human. Then there is a short clip of Sophia (AI Robot) who was built in Ethiopia (Think Tedros of the WHO) Ophra’s African Schools, Biometric IDs… AND it was EPSTEIN who funded the whole project.

It gets even more interesting from there with the building of ‘super humans’ and with the ELITE themselves trying to become gods.

…..

There is a lot more information on the subject out there. 23 &Me was about collecting human DNA. John of God was running a baby farm. John of God and Oprah Winfrey are connected. She had ties to Harvey Weinstein and now Epstein. Heck they are ALL connected.

And now it is coming out:

Shocking new HUMAN EXPERIMENT... | Daily Mail Online

Shocking new HUMAN EXPERIMENT claims emerge from Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

(Behind Paywall)

The Guardian: Epstein reportedly hoped to develop super-race of humans with his DNA

This article is more than 6 years old (2019)

Registered sex offender hoped to seed human race with his DNA by impregnating 20 women at a time, New York Times reports. Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of sex trafficking, planned to develop an improved super-race of humans using genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, according to the New York Times. In the aftermath of his 2008 sex trafficking conviction, Epstein hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his ranch in New Mexico, one of his properties where young women, including minors, were allegedly abused, the newspaper reported in a major investigation. Though there is little evidence the scheme ever progressed beyond fantasy, prominent scientists, including the late Stephen Hawking, regularly attended dinners, lunches and conferences held by Epstein, the Times said.

Note how they killed the story.

Epstein and Ukraine: A match made in hell –RT

Registered sex offender hoped to seed human race with his DNA by impregnating 20 women at a time, New York Times reports

Human trafficking, animal abuse, and scientific experiments that pushed the boundaries of humanity itself: Jeffrey Epstein had grand ambitions, and where better to pursue them than Ukraine? A wild west where everyone has a price, and citizens are little more than lab rats.

Within days of Epstein’s 2019 arrest for sex trafficking, media reports began to shed light on the financier’s bizarre scientific ventures. Epstein, the New York Times reported, would gather the world’s leading scientists at his Manhattan apartment, or fly them to his private island to discuss his visions of “seeding the human race with his DNA,” cryogenically freezing his head and penis for future research, and in one unhinged conversation, “bankrolling efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you.”

At the time, these Bond villain schemes were portrayed as just twisted fantasies. However, Epstein was already involved in a human cloning initiative taking shape in Ukraine, far from the prying eyes of US regulators.

Designer babies

In July 2018, self-described “transhumanist” Brian Bishop reached out to Epstein seeking funding for what he called a “designer baby project,” according to emails released by the US Justice Department last week

Inspired by Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s use of CRISPR technology to birth the world’s first genetically edited twins, Bishop, a bitcoin investor and programmer by trade, sent Epstein a pitch deck and a request for funding. Epstein said that he had “no issue with funding” the project, as long as he could do so in secret. “The problem is only if I am seen to lead,” he told Bishop.

Over several follow-up emails in 2018, Bishop explained that he was seeking “$1.7m/year for up to five years + $1m for lab setup,” and that he was “proceeding with more mouse testing at my Ukraine lab,” including surgeries and microinjections. Bishop’s technique involved injecting altered genes into a male parent’s testes, but Epstein favored implanting an embryo into the mother. “I like implant embryo, wait 9 months, great ending,” he replied.

Epstein noted that he “can’t do anything where US rules apply.” Bishop answered that they could avoid scrutiny through “partnerships with overseas clinics.”

The Ukrainian lab

Bishop’s “mouse testing” took place at the Institute of Gerontology at Ukraine’s Academy of Medical Sciences in Kiev. Although the lab was not named in the latest emails, the MIT Technology Review took a virtual tour of the facility in early 2019. The magazine described seeing “a flayed-open mouse lying on the microscope stage, as well as a close-up of trace dyes being injected into its testicles.”

The MIT article did not mention Epstein, but revealed that the pitch deck Bishop had sent envisioned experiments on human “volunteers” once the first transgenic mouse had been created. “Outcome: First human with transgenic sperm, and we begin taking pre-orders,” it reportedly read.

None of the experiments had succeeded in creating “transgenic mouse pups,” but lab worker Dmitry Krasnienkov told MIT that he was willing to keep trying as long as Bishop kept paying him.

A pedophile’s playground

For men like Epstein, Ukraine was a potentially lucrative nexus of poverty, corruption, and amorality. Epstein’s interest in the country developed long before Bishop’s mouse experiments, with passports of several Ukrainian women found on his estate after his death, and multiple emails suggesting he trafficked Ukrainian girls to wealthy clients.

In one 2013 exchange, a man purported to be Emirati tycoon Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem described two girls arriving at his property. “Big disappointment, the Moldavian is not as attractive as the picture while the Ukrainian is very beautiful,” he complained to Epstein. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sulayem was a regular visitor to Epstein’s apartment between 2011 and 2014.

Ukraine was a “a hotbed of child pornography and sexual abuse,” the Kiev Post reported in 2009. “Most reported cases of pedophilia never get investigated, let alone prosecuted,” the paper wrote, describing how “every third Ukrainian prostitute is a girl between 12 and 17,” child pornography is sold at street markets, and sexual services can be bought for “candy or food.”

The full extent of Epstein’s involvement in Ukraine is unclear, but the full range of illicit services available to the rich in Ukraine stretch far beyond child pornography and prostitution.

Organ harvesting and virus factories

Ukraine has been known as a hotbed of organ harvesting since the earliest days of its post-Soviet decline, and featured prominently in a 2008 OSCE report on “Trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal.” The trade reportedly exploded after the Maidan coup of 2014, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claiming in 2023 that the organs of dead Ukrainian soldiers – such as hearts, kidneys and livers – have been appearing on ‘dark net’ marketplaces, with prices starting at €5,000.

H/T tradebait

Were the Seattle Seahawks Confiscated in 2018?

Let me get started by providing some background. As the story goes, back in 1975, two high school buddies, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, wrote the first real software for a microcomputer. They cut a deal with a computer maker, quit Harvard, moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and started Microsoft in 1976….

With the recent release of the Epstein Files, I heard Paul Allen’s name mentioned. From what I understand, there is no damning evidence that connects him to any of the atrocities that have been linked to Epstein. Allen’s name has been mentioned in some of the Epstein emails. In 2012, Epstein emailed that he wanted to sit next to Allen at a Silicon Valley elite bash. Another email mentions Allen casually inviting Epstein to see his “Mouse/brain project” after bumping into him in 2014….

Epstein was originally charged with soliciting prostitution from a minor way back in 2006. It is not a good look for anyone still associating with him in 2014. But that being said, with 3 million files, there doesn’t seem to be anything damning on Allen in them, and a lot of people in Big Tech and the science community continued to interact with Epstein long after his original conviction in 2008….in December of 2017, Trump enacted the Executive Order 13818, which gave the government the power to freeze the assets of anyone involved in crimes against humanity. Later in September of 2018, the EO 13848, opened the door to confiscating the assets of anyone involved in election fraud. Allen died the next month in October of 2018.

Something to consider, and if you didn’t already know this, you probably won’t believe it. Trump enacted the EO that froze assets from anyone involved in crimes against humanity on 12/20/2017. Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google announced that he would be stepping down from his role on 12/21/2017. Literally the next day. I think it’s safe to say that in general at least, assets have been confiscated and it probably goes back to at least 2018.

I’m not saying Paul Allen is guilty of crimes against humanity or election fraud, but it is at least plausible that these executive orders opened the door to Trump’s government confiscating assets from people who they believe achieved their wealth at the expense of America. 


At 50 minutes: The head of Bear Stearns, the head of JP Morgan took the call from Epstein while he was in prison and accepted the reversed charges. This was during the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

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

Israeli minister calls for West Bank annexation, scrapping Oslo Accords

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

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

BACK TO TRANSCRIPT

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

These are the countries signing this document:

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

Continued from Ghost.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

Big Oil & their Bankers in the Persoian Gulf

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

Excerpts from The Third World Traveler

p5

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

p7

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

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

p10

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

p10

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

p11

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

p15

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

p16

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

p17

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COLOMBIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

Discussions focused on counternarcotics cooperation...

Present given to POTUS Trump by President Gustavo Petro


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry:

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

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

So what is this organization? I asked ChatGPT.

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

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

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

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

Canada may very well be the final boss.

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

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


Colombian President Claims He Evaded Assassination Attempt — Badlands Team

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

Then they tried to assassinate him.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

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


Jan 09, 2026 GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

Translated:

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

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: 

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

[Video]

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

[Video]

This tracks, if the cartels do actually control Mexico.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TEXT

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

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

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

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