Hello from France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·!

I just share a comment and very interesting links Wild Bill brought us last Friday.

It's a MUST READ for all of us !

Like most of her Substack ...

Thanks to Wild Bill

Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes talks about Maduro's networks:

https://badlands.substack.com/p/badlands-brief-b38/comment/200777954

(and following comments!)

[EDIT]

Useful details added by Anna:

"Dr. Jan said on one podcast recently that she doesn't like to speculate but prefers to give answers she can back up with proof, or words to that effect."

This is an interesting communication! I do believe there are multiple arms of exposure related to Venezuela, not least of which is exposure of election malfeasance that will tie back to US elections. Thanks Wild Bill and Trumpist dLF 😊

Could you expand on that a little and tell us how it would start and who would be involved, thanks

The reason I am so excited about this is Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes is back and bringing attention to the Act of 1871. To me, the whole problem we face today relates back to that Act and how it changed our fiscal well being.

If we merely look at the 6% interest rate the debt from 1871 incurred to restore our Treasury equates to $8000 per dollar of the debt. That interest alone is today worth over $2.8 Trillion of our $38.5 Trillion of national debt. But, think of the borrowing we needed to fight all of the wars since 1871. And, think about the borrowing required to fund our entitlement programs.

The key is the system dictated by the Act of 1871 which was demanded of our government to guarantee the repayment of the loans the European deep pocket bankers gave both the South and the North to fund the Civil War.

The South was the Democrat Party that lost and the North was the Republicans who won. It is my opinion that this is the bottom line of what has created our Uni-Party today. Both sides are covering up the truth of what happened 155 years ago. And the American public has no clue! All they see is riots in sanctuary states pitting the federal government against city and state governments! But, it is actually the old South Democrats against the old North Republicans. It is just a continuation of the Civil War economically.

Let’s hope the truth can be told before the bloodshed escalates. The Democrats Party is still on the side of the deep pocket Europeans who designed our corrupt system to bankrupt America. In fact, we were broke in 1865 due to the fiat currency the Republicans printed to fund the war. By 1913, enough time had passed to sell America on another fiat currency!

And, here we are in 2026 just as bankrupt as we were in 1865! But, we still have good credit! So, we aren’t dead yet! The bad guys are working overtime to take America down and President Trump is kicking their asses! We see it daily but do not understand the math.

I hope I have helped a little.

Wild Bill's avatar

Interestingly the Democrats have largely left the South for the Northern big cities -- places where people instinctively know they depend for their lives on systems so large and complex that nobody can even understand them, much less control them. So, having no trust in Adam Smith's 'invisible hand,' they vote for politicians who promise to take care of them, despite the provable facts that: (a) there is no way the politicians could keep those promises, even if they wanted to; and (b) they do not want to, in any event.

Hollow promises -- all the Democrats have to offer. I wish the Republicans were better and maybe in some small part they are; however, both are cut from the same cloth and neither have the ability nor the will to do what is right for the American people.

Fortunately many in the heartland can see this and try best they can to vote for common-sense candidates. But so long as it is a rigged system, none of that matters in the end -- the Uniparty controls everything. Until, I expect, the day that it doesn't.

Coming soon to a country near you, courtesy of Donald J. Trump.

Jim Schout's avatar

Dr. Jan says we must look at this as a true battle of good versus evil and she clearly states the Democrats Party is on the side of evil.

They were the promoters of slavery before the Civil War and they have never given up! The Act of 1871 was an attempt to put all of America into slavery and it has come very close. Our welfare system that the Democrats invented was intended to make more and more American citizens wards of the state. If we are honest about this, we have to admit how many of us really love the free money. Of course, it was never free because our Congress has been borrowing to fund it and just adding it to our national debt.

Under the Biden administration it was blatantly obvious that the Democrat’s intention was to speed up our bankruptcy by voting to add over $7 Trillion to our debt with crazy spending ideas. But, the money was actually diverted to NGOs and used to fund much of the chaos we are seeing today. It is all just a part of their plans to enrich their politicians while bankrupting America.

So, it is now necessary for the present war to be won. The Democrats want bloodshed and emotions to rule the day. U.S. good guys want to expose the truth with facts. I know we are winning because we refuse to take their bait. Meanwhile, we are bankrupting them because the protestors aren’t protesting for free and we cut off their money. How long will they waste their own money on a losing proposition?

Wild Bill's avatar

They are a cornered animal and have no choice but to fight to the death. We have the obligation to allow them to do so. And while their flow of grift has been seriously degraded, it has not been eliminated. Just look at Minnesota. There are 49 other states; some will be worse and some not as bad, and IMO the $19Bn in MN is still just the tip of the iceberg. Gotta get the whole thing. Awareness is the first step.

Anna's avatar

Absolutely, you have helped, Jim! I am excited to see Dr. Jan appearing on more podcasts lately. She said on one recently that she doesnt like to speculate but prefers to give answers she can back up with proof, or words to that effect.

Another link that might be of interest.

https://rumble.com/v74ff6m-trumps-long-game-venezuela-and-the-hidden-war-dr.-jan-halper-hayes.html

The beginning is her giving a brief bio of herself, followed by the meat on the bones about current events.

Jim Schout's avatar

Every time she speaks we get a few more pieces of absolutely vital information. She refuses to speculate about anything in the future and says we must look at what happens each day and coordinate the new information into our existing view of this entire mess we are facing.

To me this makes this site very much key to all of this. We are studying the history that created our morass and each day adds more clarity.

Bonjour Lafayette, mon ami.

Since we're sharing links this morning, this interview with Peter Tikten was enlightening, especially regarding his commentary on Patrick Byrne's role in saving the 2024 election from being a repeat of 2020.

Hopefully Maduro is icing the cake baked by the Venezuelan's whistle blowers in protective custudy who built the systems used to steal 71 other countries elections. But like William Wallace, I fear to much trust has been put in the Bruce like Republicrat's hands.....

I do, thank you!! When reading this a while back, I was horrified but not surprised. Evil, so readily apparent now, has no boundaries. Prayerfully for not too much longer. I anticipate this will become public knowledge when we get closer to a Greenland resolution. What Adam did to us when he decided to take that first bite….

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

I like Ghost’s assertion that the global banking system IS the cartel. People want to know and name this shadowy cabal. I have tried to characterize it for normies and they look at me quizzically or like I have two heads. Truly, the control of the money, or lack there of, will be the end game.

Burning Bright's avatar

Absolutely.

The Central Banking Cartel is the Actual foundation, at least from a mechanistic perspective, and so, guiding the Narrative in that direction is paramount.

Jim Schout's avatar

Trump took control of the Gold in 2017 and formally bankrupted the Act of 1871’s corporation. Dr. Jan is back!!! I think that is the key. She is the story teller of this whole tale.

cgg's avatar

It is hard to bring anything up to a true normie - where the hell do you begin??? Need a Dr. Suess PowerPoint...

Wild Bill's avatar

It is like the old 'shrink' joke "How many shrinks does it take to change a light bulb?"

A: Only one, but the bulb really has to want to change.

The problem with the normies is that they mostly are not awake enough to want to change. But awareness creeps up on them like in Robert Frost's poem 'The Fog.'

"THE fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on."

Once they become aware -- 'wake up' we might say -- they cannot go back to a life of ignorance.

ALtab's avatar

Wild Bill! My absolutely favorite (easily remembered) poem. Plus, as an artist, the subtlety of the scene (in my mind’s eye) is exquisite!

Wild Bill's avatar

Our minds do like to think in terms of parables and similes. They make it easier to frame a concept. Envisioning reality creeping up and awakening a normie to be similar to the way the fog creeps silently in, and then just as silently dissipates, helps us to understand what we are seeing with the normies. And that it had to be this way.

ALtab's avatar

Observing Consciousness has some great posts explaining the β€˜why’ of the slow approach and I’ve learned so much…plus gleaned a bit more patience, not a lot, but a bit!😏

ALtab's avatar

The banking system is most certainly the key tool to impoverish nations in preparation for their 2030 goals. This is a tool and is controlled by an upper level of the cabal. (In my opinion, anyway)😏

Wild Bill's avatar

The Cabal -- City of London -- Bank of England -- all one and the same. Different faces of the same beast, also controlling (like the City of London) the independent city-states of Washington, D.C. and the Vatican. And numerous other power centers like the US Federal Reserve Bank -- which is neither federal, nor has it reserves, nor is it a bank.

Just another instrument intended to rob the life of civil society. While this is true all over the world, the British are particularly pre-occupied with the USA, after we chased them out in 1776 and kicked their butts again in 1812. So they gave us the 1871 Corporation, which did financially and politically what they were unable to do militarily.

Trump is ending that. What you see are the death throes of a dying System of Systems.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

Banks are faceless (never been MORE TRUE!) The evil entities who run them must be exposed. I want to see faces. β€œThe system is corrupt!” does not look like Maleficent in a mirror. We must see the evil, and defeat it with good. Many people still do not believe in the devil.

Wild Bill's avatar

Satan's greatest accomplishment is fooling people into believing he (it?) does not exist.

We must accept that satan does exist, that it is evil, and must be exposed and defeated.

It cannot be defeated without exposure and acknowledgement of existence.

Welcome back from your weekend break. I am enjoying these Takes more and more each day!

Your new format goes right to the heart of my belief that We A re the News now. Not giving air to any of the DS Rat Bastard's MSM LIES is just what the doctor ordered as they say. My strong belief is that the minority has been emboldened by the LIES of the MSM to shout their thoughtless and ridiculous slogans without any backlash. Positions like "Defund the Police" are so ignorant and I was shocked the 1st time I heard one of my children chant the phrase. It is so obviously wrong yet because the MSM loudly pushed it they mindlessly joined in the refrain. Any sane open discussion about Truth would quickly lay such nonsense to rest.

With open and honest debate I am certain Truth always win.

Keep it coming.

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

Burning Bright's avatar

It's a lot of work for us, but I think all three of us are finding the ideas flow a lot better when we're not being constrained by specific MSM talking points.

ALtab's avatar

Beautifully stated, Joe!!

Jeff S's avatar

Elections aren't fake. They're rigged, by both sides. That's why one side knows exactly when and where the other side is cheating. They have been running this clever little game since forever. Now, the "voters" are finally awakening to the scam. We need a new form of government: Benevolent Dictatorship.

Jim Schout's avatar

I do not think a benevolent dictator is the answer. I like our existing design without the fraud. The key is paper ballots and no machines to manipulate the votes.

The more we have tried to automate the voting system, the greater the corruption has become. The average American voter is left out totally.

Wild Bill's avatar

The sad thing is, that one thing computers are excellent at is adding numbers. Even a 20 cent, 4-bit microcontroller can add two 32-bit integers (representing numbers from 0 to 4,294,967,295) in less time than it took me to type just one of the digits of that number. And get the right answer, provably, 100% of the time. Every time.

It takes a much more complex system (software) to get computers to lie. It can be done, but it goes against everything in the way a computer is designed in the first place.

However, the fraudulent voting systems have created an environment where people now prefer humans adding up votes, with the inevitable errors that will creep in. Folks trust that those errors will be (a) minor; (b) unintentional (and thus unbiased); and (c) therefore inconsequential.

But the reality is, 'you are there.' So, onward, as best we can.

Jim Schout's avatar

A computer is 100% accurate. The problem is evil people. They are just going to find a way to cheat because it is more productive than playing fair.

The fix is to overwhelm the evil people with good people and we outnumber them by a huge margin. Paper ballots, hand counted and tabulated, takes the ability to cheat away unless the whole room is filled with evil people. Computers took the good people out of the game.

The Dominion system was very expensive so the precincts were not able to afford a machine and ballots were sent to a central location where multiple machines were located. Thus, just a few bad actors could feed fake ballots into the machines, and other bad actors could program the machines to change the counts. Other bad actors could actually manipulate that manipulated data in foreign countries. The evil few knew how to make the most of their scarcity by creating a super expensive cheating system.

The selling point was efficiency! Look at how few humans were needed to count the votes! Government was saving our tax dollars by using computers instead of people. Who could argue against high efficiency?

And, here we are! What we need is a manpower heavy, inefficient system of manual counting by honest volunteers! Actually, this will be far more accurate and less costly because the counters will be patriotic citizens willing to volunteer one day of their time to guarantee fair and honest elections.

Wild Bill's avatar

Exactly, Jim. Excellent summary of how we got here, and how we go 'there and back.'

ALtab's avatar

But ONLY to expose those complicit in this treason. Very short shelf life.

Burning Bright's avatar

Not sure HOW much patriot control there is, but it's Grade A writing to have literally installed a central banking king as a fake president this time around.

ALtab's avatar

Carney is likely going to be a key cabal banking exposure figure…maybe setting the dominoes in action?

Wild Bill's avatar

I originally felt that Carney defeating Poilievre was a sad state of affairs, given the Pierre was ahead in polling a few months before, in 225 Parliamentary ridings in Canada, compared to the Liberals and New Democrats at around 30-40 seats each.

But I now see that this had to happen -- and it had to be so obvious that even normies could see how cracked up this all was. And how terrible a PM Carney would be. Far worse than the buffoon Trudeau, because Carney is actually smart and intentional.

So yes, ALtab, you are exactly correct: "a key cabal banking exposure figure."

We shall see what comes of it.

β€”-πŸ€” Aren’t increased diplomatic tensions better than kinetic wars? Ask our children what they think. Oh, and the responses from our so-called allies just might be the point. Plus, I consider UK’s β€˜non-negotiable’ stance is only valid until the exposures of the corruption behind the scenes.

β€”-Yes, it is BB, but you’ve hit the key issue here, β€˜β€¦the difference between organic uprising and globalist-funded color revolution…’ Discernment is a gift, honed with practice.

β€”-BB’s right and the public is finally beginning to glimpse this fact, β€˜β€¦the globalist machine is hollow.’ (Without the US.)

β€”-America, China and the US are enemies. Consider, however, who’s been telling us this is true. The globalist machine, i.e., the cabal. I quit believing this years ago.

β€”-Trump making a comment on canceling the midterms surely appears to be a move to sharply focus Americans’ attention on the midterms. Ashe is πŸ’― right. Fake elections are treason.’

β€”-Excellent take, Ghost, on Venezuela. We tend to forget the events over several years that lead to a planned outcome. Thank you. Ratcliffe’s moves might the beginning of unveiling what has been happening at the CIA?πŸ‘€. We have no insight to this at this point.

β€”-πŸ€” Is China setting Carney up? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, β€˜β€¦He also cited the need to expand the global banking system in order to expand the security architecture of the financial world, in order to prevent criminal organizations from engaging in money-laundering.’ Yes, it’s no coincidence.

β€”-Ashe (and the First Lady) stress the point of using AI as a tool, not a crutch. It’s another point of why analytical thinking was a central point of cabal attack. The would-be controllers want us to feel, not think. One can look at the white liberal women as the best example of the result of that focus.

β€”-Praying for all those impacted by the train crash in Spain.πŸ™

β€”-Thank you to these truth-seekers, each and every one!

Burning Bright's avatar

Absolutely.

There's some great schadenfreude on display for Americans toward collectivists right now, but ultimately, the tension is about freeing them, too.

The "Pax Americana" concept refers obviously to the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace ("pax") in the western world under the stewardship of the Roman Empire. One thing we need to know about this period is that it was not defined by any hesitancy of Rome to use its military might, but rather by its willingness - well recognized by its enemies - to apply that strength at any time if necessary to preserve the peace. Another thing significant about the Pax Romana is that it fairly closely matches the birth and foundation of Christianity, which (over time) flourished under its indirect, and eventually direct, umbrella of protection.

Burning Bright's avatar

All very well said.

And, also worth noting, Hollywood and even American Academia have gone to great lengths to retroactively demonize the Roman Empire as being, well, the Evil American Empire of that day.

ALtab's avatar

Interesting how the might of the Roman Empire then is so often portrayed totally in a negative light.

I find it interesting that President Trump is suing J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for de-banking him in 2023. Salmon B. Chase was Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury who instituted the Greenback Dollar at the urging of J.P. Morgan in 1862 to finance the Civil War using an unconstitutional fiat currency. Today we are being bankrupted by our fiat currency that is still unconstitutional.

I think there is something here that needs a lot of investigation. I asked AI and found that the name Chase was added as a tribute to the man! This is nuts!

Burning Bright's avatar

They recently debanked Jack Mallers, one of the young phenoms in the Bitcoin space.

Interesting convergence.

Jim Schout's avatar

I decided to look deeper into the Chase connection with banking and it is enlightening! There was a major bank in the early 1900’s named β€œChase National Bank” which was sold to Rochefellow in about 1930 and ultimately became Chase Manhattan Bank which went broke in 2000 and was acquired by J.P. Morgan which kept the name Chase.

What is interesting is found by asking ChatGPT about how Chase National Bank got its name? The bank’s founders chose it to honor the man who originally produced the paper dollar called the Greenback! No one named Chase was involved, but they recognized the power of the fiat dollar and chose the name to bring honor to it.

I find this to be hilarious! Those bankers must have been truly gutsy. In 1877 they must have known what was going to happen to our Gold backed dollar because that is when they chose the name. Meanwhile, the Greenback had just regained its value of $1 after being value at as little as $.35! What brought the value back was the Gold infusion paid for by the Act of 1871 and received from the European bankers.

By restoring the Greenback’s Gold backing made the idea of a fiat currency seem to be viable.

The next step had to be to separate the Gold backing altogether. It took the 1929 Depression to make that happen. Now, our fiat dollar has nothing to compare itself to as in the post Civil War days.

Asking that you not use Acronyms when writing. It is easier for you, one person, to type the words then have 200k+ have to tell others what those acronyms stand for. If you want people to forward/share this, you need to change the way you write. In business I could use acronyms within the company but never with brokers or clients. Not even a tiny population of people use acronyms when reading. This is a small request that will go a long way in getting additional people to read your articles. No one wants to have to look up 10 different acronyms for one article and then hope they are getting the right one.

ALtab's avatar

Good thought and reasonable advice. I worked 25 years as a civil servant in the military. We always had to spell them out each first use.

Anna's avatar

Or, type it out once, then put the acronym in parentheses, like they do in contracts, "hereinafter referred to as ..." and carry on with the acronym for the remainder. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the reply. If you happen to know anyone who has Trump's personal ear, get'm to make DJT sit down and read this. It's the latest from Jay Valentine.

Thanks again for EVERYTHING y'all are doing at Badlands Media.

P.S. I am not employed by, nor do I receive any monetary consideration from Jay Valentine or his company. He has recommended my 'stack to his audience. That's all.
