Feedback from flyover MN... My colleagues that are your ages and voted for Trump 3X are flipping out about everything, especially regarding that "he is a complete tool for the Jews!"

I keep pointing out your briefs to them et al. and I think they functionally agree with stuff like your analyses, but the lack of concrete, daily 'results' is tough for them to handle. Brent Crude Prices - controlled by England which is controlling(or trying) the distribution of oil - are falling, etc.

I agree with your analyses, especially with the dynamic that Trump just gives the floor to the actors and lets them show themselves; you haven't heard much publicly from Bibi these days and all others are overreacting everywhere.

Remember who Trump is - strategic: http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2016/08/19/the-day-i-went-head-to-head-with-donald-trump/#624a2a035570

That's why Ghost and I are honest about the real reputational damage Trump is taking from much of his base.

That said, we believe it's a game of chicken/war of attrition that is permanently bleeding the other side of Actual power while temporarily reducing Trump's abstract power, which is a worthy trade-off in the current chapter.

Danimal28's avatar

Agreed. Trump is actually DOING so much stuff on trade and mfg in our favor that it is almost embarrassing nobody is covering it except for a few orgs.

Rock on, you all. Very grateful for you.

"In the end, I can say that Mr. Trump drove a hard bargain. But he was honest, and he was a square dealer." (from the Forbes article)

Why would we not want a man with this reputation as our President? People are so blind to what it takes to be an effective leader. This man is an effective leader. He understands what is important, and one thing is his time. He doesn't waste time playing games when he is "at work". He knows very well how to play the game. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty of dealing -- he does not play games. I am once again impressed that God chose this man to lead this country for such a time as this.

Danimal28's avatar

Agreed. And he didn't waste time while in 'the wilderness' - 4 years of the Xiden regime - to understand fully what he was up against and is acting accordingly.

I believe as these authors do - he is reordering the US back to the Western hemisphere which includes detangling from the reigns of the EU which means the middle east.

It IS amazing that we see His hand so clearly in our time!!

Featherjourney's avatar

What a great article!

“If we didn’t come away from the table liking Mr. Trump, there’s no question that we came away with a lot of respect for him. He was a tough, shrewd, no-nonsense executive who knew how to get things done, and done quickly. He was also an adversary whom no one would want to mess with.”

Thanks for the link!!

Serious people understand Trump and his staff and their abilities. All others in the republican establishment still operate as if it is still 1998. Bessent is key as he was part of the team that 'privatized' Russia after 1991 and he saw what the globalists did then to ruin Russia. He is absolutely working to ensure we sever ties with as many globalists as he can. This is at least a three year process to fully sever and it is happening and you can tell because Mark Carney - the leader of the globalists - is absolutely freaking out because Canada is fully dependent on our economy and we are tariffing everything.

ALtab's avatar

That’s because the vast majority of those ‘so-called’ Republicans are directly or indirectly complicit in the plan to destroy our constitutional republic.

Danimal28's avatar

100%. And getting paid very handsomely to do so.

ALtab's avatar

Yes….Until they aren’t.

JC's avatar

Carney can survive tariffs, he cannot survive the (five) Canadian banks and rest of the shallow political crew up north getting dragged into a fight over smuggling drugs and people as terrorist activity. If the US sanctions Canadian banks and persons, for enumerated reasons, they're done--instantly.

JC's avatar

Yeah, the banks are hugely leveraged and any wheel slipping will cause them to fail in other commitments. The building industry would have killed them already if government hadn't backed changing finance rules. Now property builders left with unsaleable apartments are flipping to business -owned rental corps, however that will force rental rule changes as the law is punitive toward property owners renting.

J Debra Grube's avatar

Here in PA also. 3x voters are giving up hope. 😫. Not sure it matters how old they are. Some of them are really results driven people and they’re just not seeing it.

Gary's avatar

I'm hearing the same, mostly from "excitable" folks who aren't discerning enough about where they get their news. The last thing they want to hear is that the national average price for regular gas was over $5/gal in midsummer 2022, as the Ukraine war got going, and yet somehow we all survived. The other common complaint I hear is that Trump is going to restart the Draft, apparently due to the massive troop losses we have(n't) seen.

Jim Schout's avatar

What we are seeing is the contrast between short-term and long-term thinking. Quite frankly it is how Democrats always seem to win. They know the public will always go for the short-term story.

Keynesians knew this 100 years ago and used it against America. We are still suffering today because Keynes played the long-term against us. His argument said 1 to 2% inflation would stabilize our economy and eliminate panics like we saw in 1907 and 1929. His arguments sold the idea of the Federal Reserve and the income tax. Inflation was good for America in a slow and steady dose.

In my opinion, that was a total lie designed to achieve precisely what it has achieved. A dollar in 1930 is worth 3 cents today. And, we have a national debt of $39 Trillion that most Americans do not see or feel.

The problem is inflation of 1-2% cannot be felt and is absorbed by the economy in the long-term so average Americans are not affected in a way where they rebel or complain. But, if inflation spikes due to excess Congressional deficit spending and borrowing, and citizens complain, politicians can divert attention by blaming business for raising their prices. It is a game invented over a century ago and we still fall for it.

Keynes came here from the City of London. Need I say more? Our problem isn’t high gasoline prices. Our problem is our economic design and our Congress. America needs to understand what President Trump is doing in our behalf. It is a beautiful thing to watch if you understand the script.

Our job is to explain the script to the viewers. Too many Americans are still confused, and rightfully so. Our destruction was designed before anyone alive today was born. We have all lived the lie and accepted it because our suicide has been way too painless by design.

Danimal28's avatar

Great post, Jim. Great Britain has always used us for everything. They have never been our friends. Ever.

Sal_Peenx's avatar

Yes. I think we REALLY torked off the crown and the city of London when we beat them for the 2nd time in 1812.

ALtab's avatar

Excellent, Jim!!

They slow boiled we the frogs in the pot. When will we learn that the uniparty never has our interests in mind?

People want easy, instant solutions. We need long term multi generational thinking. Abraham was promised the land that became Israel. That promise was fulfilled 400+ years after his great grand children went to Egypt during a famine. When they left Egypt they wandered in the desert 40 years because the task at hand seemed to big for them to accomplish.

Trump has taken a long term approach to dismantling this Gigantic Deep State system. The opportunity to take down the banking cabal and all it's corporate and institutional tentacles will not occur again for many generations. They want us to be scared to take on their system. They're throwing everything at us just like Dean Wormer did to Delta House. The war isn't over, it's time we stop being scared & let Bluto lead on in the destruction of this system.

Jim Schout's avatar

Futile and stupid gestures are not in Trump’s bag of tricks. Fool proof and brilliant are required but take time that Animal House did not have. So, they destroyed the homecoming parade! It made for a great movie, but so does foolproof and brilliant in my opinion.

MAB4Liberty's avatar

I don't think Trump's moves are futile gestures either, although the MSM would like us to believe that he doesn't know what he's doing. I recalled this scene more for the "Bluto, we're scared" line.

Sal_Peenx's avatar

Agreed! Unfortunately, when I was in my younger student days, I had ZERO interest in economics or even history. Then a few years ago Hillsdale College ran a 2-day seminar on a variety of topics, right where I live! and where I learned about the Austrian economists and how their system differed from the vastly INFERIOR Keynesian system of economics. I was puzzled as to why the US chose the inferior model that's not directly driven by markets and entrepreneurship. I recently learned from Barbara Boyd of Promethean Action that Keynes used elite snobbery and subterfuge to convince Roosevelt that central banks were the answer. And here we are. Of course if you listen to the msm, you will get only the cabal's propaganda and criticism of POTUS' every move. 😵‍💫😳😬

ALtab's avatar

Interesting gas dropped 14 cents right after Memorial Day.

Same story….different year. That’s what’s frustrating to so many.

Wild Bill's avatar

MIL met its recruiting targets already, 4 months early. Why in hell would they want to bring back the draft when they have more volunteers than they can use???

These people do not have the common sense God gave a turnip.

eileen's avatar

People want lower prices and are not seeing it. People have limited tolerance for promises about lowering costs and not seeing it. They don't care about cartels keeping prices high; they want relief. Although I have seen some changes in prices, the ones that matter, like beef, I have not seen. Produce has fallen and the items in the CSA box are about 25% less expensive than last year. But other than pork or offal, meat prices have not fallen.

The fact that Trump supporters are saying he's controlled by the Jews tells me that the voters are giving Trump three tries and that's it. It isn't that they don't believe him. It's more like they are tired of the narrative war and are taking the easy way out: believe influencers. It is exhausting to discern the news cycle, which is full of disinformation from the fake news, Iranian news sources, influencers and even the administration itself. People just want to know what's going on.

Sal_Peenx's avatar

My comment to the so-called "three tries and that's it'... that's what, exactly? Either you realize he's working EVERYWHERE to topple the globalists or you don't. Then what? I am 70. The globalist takeover started before I was born. I was never taught about the American System that McKinley tried to bolster and why "they" shot him. Not knowing our real history (even after paying attention in HS) has hampered my understanding of how everything has been botched by evil people manipulating our government and the world. But, at this late time in life, I am relearning and learning anew.

Danimal28's avatar

Very well said, Sal!!!

Danimal28's avatar

Yep. Americans have the attention span of a gnat. Xiden, with the help of the republican establishment, drove inflation into levels we still cannot measure. It takes time and will happen provided Trump and his team aren't killed.

Mary Bailey's avatar

Hopefully they don't get so fed up that they vote Democrat in the mid-terms

Danimal28's avatar

I don't think they will. I think there is enough alternative media where people can find reality.

Gary's avatar

Excellent (Forbes) link, Danimal28. Thank you.

Danimal28's avatar

I grew up with Trump in my life and never really took him seriously until that article shocked me back into reality.

Jim Schout's avatar

And Trump grew up seeing what our government was doing to destroy his business. Run away inflation due to deficit spending by Congress is devastating to a long-term business like construction.

In the speculative construction business you borrow a lot of money to fund projects that will pay off big in the long-run but rely in the short-term on low interest rates. Thus, if interest rates spike due to high inflation, bankruptcy is very likely a threat.

Do we see why Trump is so valuable to America today? He sees the big picture and the American public is oblivious to the real problem. America’s government is bankrupt on paper, but America’s citizens still have good credit and can keep paying their income taxes. Trump knows how to fix this.

@Ghost “Throughout this second term, Steve Witkoff has made it clear that whenever President Trump dispatches his envoys to negotiate peace, he empowers them to act with the necessary autonomy to maneuver and flex in order to get the deal done.”

This is the precise definition of the word we read as “prophet” in the Old Testament (the original word looks like ‘nabi’ and rather than being directly translated the Greek word that it was determined most closely aligned with it, “prophètès”, was used) and which the Greek word we read as “apostle” in the New Testament were understood to mean in the cultures in which those terms were spoken. In other words, this is an ancient model that represents millennia of effective and efficient negotiations leading to treaties and alignments between nations!

Thanks Gordon!

As I am going through the brief - reading and thinking - I am reminded of Esther. In some ways, Pres Trump is like Esther. "If I die, then I die". Trump - "I am taking these slings and arrows for you."

This isn't the first time God has had to use people to save a nation. I say Thank You for using Pres. Trump -- for such a time as this.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

Every time I see President Trump endorse some undeserving candidate, I think of him privately, being shot with an arrow. It has to be absolutely degrading to perform in these ways at times. But he does it (or at least some proxy does) My heart goes out to him.

Burning Bright's avatar

The Proxy Model has been upended and corrupted by the enemy, but it has always made sense for First Principles to be embodied by trusted actors and agents.

Human society cannot scale without trust, which is why it's the one thing the enemy has attempted to erode most fully.

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

And yet all of human society, throughout recorded history, has been prone to and/or has accepted or excused the use of deception in an attempt to “demonstrate” trust-worthiness. Even mythologies are built on that premise - so deep is the enemy’s connivance.

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

Like @Bleighv05 I am also thinking of the book of Esther, but more of Mordecai who became the “Asher al ha-bayit,” to the house of Haman. Charge de Affairs - Trusted with promoting peace and good judgement with humility.

I do happen to believe that most of the deals are already in place though.

You bring such proof of God’s design of the created order into these discussions! It’s always foundational. Thank you, HGV!

The “Takes” from both Ghost and BB combined today offer extraordinary insights and they land with wonderful optimism…even more than optimism, the certainty of faith in the God-given creativity of minds untethered to the old worn out stories of war.

If “fear is the mind killer” then we have risen far above that dark field of illusions, perpetuated by an elite control of mainstream propaganda.

A beautiful breath of inner stillness, free from the Mindscape engaged in the ego playgrounds of manufactured illusions that somehow convinced billions of souls that this place, this planet, was a dark place. On the contrary, the Light is spreading through the field of Awakening. Life is a story and we are free to envision a happy ending.

Thank you, BB and Ghost. Love your takes, your minds 🙏❤️🌟🕊🌎

Ghost, I find it interesting that not one media outlet nor any other reports on Cuba and the indictment of Raul Castro has pointed out that Brothers to the Rescue was totally CIA. Even Wikipedia states it clearly that the founder of this organization,Jose Bosulto, an airplane pilot is CIA by his own admission. He was trained in Panama and participated in the Bay of Pigs. How can this not be part of the bigger story???? It leads back to JFK, CIA. Etc. also there’s been no discussion of Gaesa the company that basically runs and controls Cuba. There is way more here than what’s being told and I can’t understand all we get is crickets…even from the “truth” community! Raul knows a lot about the skeletons in the closet and his indictment is not an accident.

Burning Bright's avatar

Almost like every 'regime' we're disentangling is all just the same regime, and that the nation states we're supposedly 'fighting' are actually themselves being freed from said regime.

Newsome keeps the purity spiral alive, first the “it’s illegal to investigate and report on fraud” law, and now stealing reparation money. Soon, these fools will start eating their own, and will confirm the end of the Getty-Newsome-Brown-Pelosi political machine that, over 60 years, converted the golden-state into a 3rd world dystopia. LA is shaping up to be the nexus point for radical restorative change in CA.

—-I agree with Ghost (and I’m able to do this due to several years of this groups’ teaching), ‘And it will be glorious to watch them fight back.’ Yes, it will!

—-Yes, because of your extensive sharing, BB, we know which side will prevail!!

—-Ashe captured this perfectly! ‘It’s not about justice, it’s about obstruction. The weeping and gnashing of teeth will continue.’ And this most important point, ‘And they’re losing.’

—-Yes, Ghost, concur. ‘All of this feels connected. The timeline is the story, and the story makes sense. Isn't it worth considering that maybe a similar dynamic is in play with Maduro?’ It is all connected, but we can only perceive such a tiny amount.

—-Ashe cracked me up!🤣. ‘This move by Newsom is hilarious.’ It reminds me of The Emperor’s New Clothes!🪃🪃

—-Ashe and Ghost have the bottom line today. ‘Accelerate.’

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

"It’s not about justice, it’s about obstruction. These states (and Colorado is one of many) are pursuing frivolous legal actions to obstruct the lawful agenda of the People’s duly-elected Commander in Chief.

And they’re losing.

That’s the real takeaway — the establishment efforts to stop the President’s agenda are largely unsuccessful.

The weeping and gnashing of teeth will continue."

Fantastic brief. I am loving the winning - not tired of it yet.

Ghost, I love your take on Trump's Iran deal. The "4-D Chess" meme is getting a bit grey, but here again we get to watch the Grand Master who already knows the closing moves take his audience to the inevitable conclusion.

Whenever I feel something like this, I am sensing an energetic shift in the narrative war. Someone big like Lindsey Graham (using him only to illustrate the fame of the person involved) will switch sides or do a 180 and that person may very well be a well known Democrat that will change the dynamics of the conversation.

Q: What % of TRUMP 3X have failed the MAGA intelligence test?

A: DJT + Sov Mil Alliance don't care cuz most psyops gonna wrap up in 2 wks & every nation will enter new restore/construct Sovereign Republic phase w/ honest money + GESARA. This is why the insanity trajectory of DS fake leaders has gone full-on Thelma & Louise. DJT won't abide a shitty 2-fiddy! Most E/t transforms in June.

Of course, nutjob trans lib-freaks will keep racing to Seattle & other Blue-Meccas. The Grand Canyon btwn red & blue will accelerate for few months. But TRUMP 3X-ers will be dancing in the streets!

Considering that any "deal" has only been rumor and Trump has said no, it is very simple - until there IS a deal, there is NO deal, respective of ant analysis of rumor and innuendo.

The Iran situation continues to baffle me with the noted outcome that they will still have a Supreme Leader. That means the oppression, and control of the Iranian people, more specifically Iranian women, will have gained nothing. As noted in Badlands previously, the Revolutionary Guard is designed to look inwards at the Iranian people, not as a protective force for the country. They will continue to harass, arrest and execute Iranians as they did before.

What was needed was regime change and all the supreme nitwits removed permanently so that the people of Iran can decide for themselves what / who they want to lead the country.

And yea! It sounds like we got rid of the nuke threat but that will take time to be proven true!
