ASHE I love you telling of the march toward total exposure of election fraud starting with the sickening, as most of us recall, 2020 stolen Presidential Election. I have very personal loses stemming from that debacle and I cannot wait for Truth to reign.
BB I like how you layout the Taiwan portion of the disentanglement. Big things are happening in China right now and I cannot wait to see the results. We are living in Biblical Times!
For some reason while reading today's Brief it struck me as to how totally in control Trump is at all times. As I have often mentioned I consume ZERO DS Rat Bastard MSM, if keeps me very level. I used to get so worked up about all their constant lies. It struck me today that Trumps cool demeaner is all I need to confirm that I am getting all the information I need through the sources I use.
Trump, and his Administration in general, gives off the vibe of competence, of knowing and doing the job so well it's actually fun overall. That also makes it fun - and encouraging - to watch.
So someone please comment on the reports of the Clowns in America raiding Tulsi's office to confiscate their old JFK and MK Ultra files.
Are these reports totally bogus? or perhaps they suckered the Clowns into doing this to see who they really are? Why has Badlands ignored this so called blockbuster news?
I love the power of prayer, lay your troubles, worries at God's feet, and leave it there. For ALL the gains, we MUST give Him the glory, the honor, and praise, remain humbled through it all (we stumble at times).
1) If there was no fraud then why oppose making election fraud more difficult? If they're correct, we're just spinning our wheels, wasting our own resources, and proving them right. Right?
2) For over a century scows dumped NYC's garbage into The Atlantic. Each month some washes up.
Just reading the way this is presented in the Atlantic shows their bias clearly. Why is fraud a conspiracy? Why, after six years of solid evidence, do they still discredit the data?
Our problem is these clowns are more corrupt than the Democrats rigging the elections. Refusing to honestly dissect the evidence proves they are just buying the story told by the crooks. Sure, in America no one is guilty until it is proven, but when you actually have video of the crimes being perpetrated, surely you have to at least accept that guilt is likely there to be investigated. But this has been set aside as just a conspiracy offered by whacko nut cases.
Can it actually be that the Atlantic has been acting ignorant for six years to suck the bad guys into showing themselves clearly? Did the Atlantic know that January 6th was a Democrat plot to continue the election theft but was needed to expose the deep state players?
Quite frankly this is the only scenario that can save our media. They must turn on their own left wing biased side and report the truth. Is this what we are actually seeing in this article? It is possible.
Nothing can "save our media" > the media as it previously existed is gone.
The magazines, including the Atlantic, Newsweek, Forbes, Sports Illustrated etc. cannot compete with Substack.
The newspapers cannot compete with social media - especially X.
I was a long time subscriber to many magazines and multiple newspapers. The Atlantic was my favorite and I looked forward reading their perspective every month. They lost all honesty in 2016. I was sincerely disappointed. Ten years later I'm saying - Good riddance!
You are 100% correct. They are in competition with social media, but they could have a future as an organization if they can turn themselves into heroes who agreed to perpetrate a fake news persona to suck in the Communist evil doers.
I would buy the copies where they explain this and store them for the historical record. A couple hundred years from now my family can sell these collector items for a fortune. They will be like pristine copies of the original printings of our Declaration of Independence.
Ghost’s excellent review of the history of Saudi Arabia explains precisely what is going on today in Iran, why it is necessary, and why America must do it. That country is moving ahead with the promotion of tourism and modernization. They are using the huge amount of wealth being created through the sale of their oil to achieve this lofty goal.
Actually, this is exactly what Donald Trump would be doing if he was in charge. He would be building Golf Courses, housing developments, and high rise luxurious hotels. Do we see a connection?
But, what about Iran? They have even more oil but they use that wealth to subvert their own population, fund terrorism in the region, and to develop nuclear weapons as well as missiles to deliver them. Can we see a conflict with the Saudi plans? Who wants to travel to a region where terrorists are a threat?
I don’t think we are seeing anything that is not easily explained logically. Iran must have a change in attitude. It is that simple. Join the American system or die! America and Saudi Arabia can help you get your act together and start using your assets to build a sustainable future. Why not try this? What have you got to lose but your life? Look my friend, it is your choice. We aren’t pressuring you in any way. We can merely keep blocking your oil and you can figure out how to eat it because it is worthless sitting in your damned tanks.
You have that perfectly correct. One part of their power structure is already in agreement with changing course. Their problem is the other side that are religious fanatics who are interpreting their writings in ways that create the stupidity.
You would think the sane side could rationally persuade the nutty fanaticals to just try some free market Capitalism and see how that idea works out.
The problem that I see is the crazies saw that system in 1978 and rejected it as evil. They just cannot bring themselves to admit the last 47 years of their control are why Iran is in such a screwed up mess.
Now, the good news is America needs to understand what I just wrote and look into the mirror. We are infested with crazies who want us to reject free market Capitalism. I see them as fanatical Marxists. Can the same driving force be a constant here? I can’t prove it, but it surely looks suspicious to me.
I continue to hear reports of mass casualties of the Iranian population. I think Joaquin Flores was the latest one I heard. The IRGC has the weapons, the people don't. The IRGC is the puppet of the cabal. Flores said weapons were delivered to the Kurds to transfer to the people in Iran (I recall a Trump truth document post awhile back about this) but the Kurds kept the weapons for themselves. Not everyone is looking to martyr themselves and get mowed down. Thus you are not going to see a mass uprising until the IRGC is finally taken out. Just my humble opinion.
That is exactly my point. Oil money is being used to fund the IRGC. That is absolutely the most idiotic waste of money I can think of. It would be like paying our military to kill loyal Americans. But, that is how Iran has chosen to use its oil revenues.
Trump has time on his side because the leaders of Iran need to figure this out and change their priorities. It is a mental thing, but it has to be changed.
Cuba is similar. Look how that population has been hurt for decades due to misguided politicians. Cuba was a thriving country before Communism took over.
Trump is into solving the real problems. The fact that the public here is not being educated in the logic behind it all bothers me. There must be a logical reason to “Just do it”!
—-Finally, Ashe! ‘The election deniers are winning.’ Exquisite timing. As planned.
—-Well, this isn’t a surprise (thanks to Ghost’s excellent work). ‘…Israel remains a major obstacle…’. The Bush family had extremely strong ties to Saudi Arabia, including the bin Laden’s construction companies.
—-BB’s right (has been all along) about the triad working together and we’ve been given a front row seat.
—-Again…finally! ‘And weaponized ethics is being adjudicated…’. Looking up, Ashe!!
—-Redistricting. Accelerate.👀
—-Our oldest grandson graduates from high school today and there IS going to be a bright future. God is good to His creation.
Big-time Qfluencers who blocked me years ago are taking Sovereign Alliance victory laps this week despite saying Trump was working to subvert China the whole time.
Bush Family ties to Saudi Arabia were intertwined with their relationship with Alwaleed bin Talal…arrested by MBS Nov 2017 in his crackdown on corruption.
I wonder if GW will ever face consequences for his role in our DeepState corruption?
Frameworks emerging for Peace and cooperation in the Middle East. Past animosities weakened in the face of prospering together…into their own Golden Age.
BB: “Energy and capital are being pulled away from the globalist circulatory system and redirected into sovereign arteries.” A vision of a planet at Peace gains more solid footing in the global collective consciousness.
Given that the new quantum physics flips “seeing is believing” to the emerging science that “believing is seeing”…We begin to understand that shared visions manifest!! (As BB might put it: We have the better visions!)
Great way to wrap up the week❤️🇺🇸🕊🌎 Thank you, Badlands Team!!
Side note: Trumpist posted a link yesterday to a Fox News article written by (or about?) Michael Guillén on Quantum Entanglement.
BB, while I am much less familiar with all that's going on with China, it seems to me that Trump and Xi would have the whole Taiwan plot line worked out, given how much they have clearly been cooperating in previous and current operations including Venezuela and Iran.
I don't know if you follow General Flynn but he just posted this on Telegram:
"Breaking (the internet):
CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to POTUS has everyone wondering …
WHAT THE …. ?
Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it).
Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined.
Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts.
Essentially, it was a veiled warning:
Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place.
Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at.
Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying.
This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation.
Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here.
FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.”
The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers.
We need to keep in mind that President Donald J. Trump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal."
I'd be very interested in your take on where he is coming from. He certainly comes across as a China hawk but I've been assuming that he would be read in on "The Plan" as much as anyone not working with Trump on a day to day basis and, if so, would be completely supportive of it. What do you think is going on and if he is read in, what is the strategy?
I've been writing about this exact framework extensively for half a decade, and collected many of my China musings into one mega piece last year you might find worthwhile that presents things in more detail.
The short version is, I think Trump and Xi are working together in order to decouple economies that were artificially stitched at the seams on a corporate and governmental level while squeezing the middle classes of both countries.
And I've read almost all of them for the past 2 years, especially your "extended" X/Twitter musings. One thing that struck me about the Promethean work is that they provide an in between perspective between Normie and Badlands deep dives. A good transition for people just becoming aware that "something ain't right" and, "Damn, so we're flipping something that's been going on for a century if not more and this is why and how!" Interesting to see what you guys come up with on Promethean's actual motives and support.
A clarification about the "Thucydides Trap" reference - at 20m here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-PovGmjKdvw - Susan Kokinda of "Promethean Action" explains that the trap wasn't so much failing Sparta and rising Athens organically fighting each other as much as it was about Persia egging-on the fight TO KEEP ITSELF IN A POSITION OF POWER, MUCH AS THE BRITISH EMPIRE HAS DONE WITH THE US AND CHINA AND RUSSIA FOR DECADES. The world order is changing (the US and China [and Russia and India and maybe also Japan] are gaining sovereignty and power via alliances and trade outside globalist influence and control) and the "old" NWO/globalists (Carney, Obama the Dems, and stay-behind units of both the IC and the DOJ) are freaking out because it's obvious they are losing influence, control, power and money (ex. China buying more oil from the US than from the Persian gulf would cut big financing $ from the City of London). see also starting ~14m, Barbara Boyd from Ptomethean Action at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-PovGmjKdvw
K.I.S.S., there is a reason Q reminded us often; sometimes, what is said may NOT be intended for us. Xi works to appease CCP leadership, a fine, and delicate walk. Lean too much in one direction, CCP party chiefs start raising their eyebrow. "Thucydides trap", two words the MSM doesn't hear or often see, and now they're swallowing, hook, line, and sinker. Amazing what the name of a 5th century analyst, and general can do.
In fact if something is being said, especially by Trump, that we are not relating to we can be rest assured that it is intended for and is relating to another audience.
Great brief, as always. I do wish they’d do Canada soon (“they” being the Sovereign Alliance) even before Cuba. Because, at least in part, it represents a legitimate threat and because it seems Canada is also India now. There is a massive Indian elephant in the room; especially in US/Canada, but also in Russia, and in China by way of a 2000 mile shared border and other matters. The “India issue” is not at all clear and only rarely mentioned in the current geopolitical discourse, especially as it relates to the US. Whatever the actual case is, I cannot help but think all of it is related. Where I live (in Canada) the tension is mounting. Well, at least my anxiety level is rising.
I'm seeing so many Canada stories hit the zeitgeist of late, it seems like seeding.
Having married a Canadian citizen, I too hope for the nation to be liberated ... but first, I think more Canadians need to understand they need to be liberated in the first place.
The best explanation to understand why [everything] is taking so long: "Energy and capital are being pulled away from the globalist circulatory system and redirected into sovereign arteries."

Just in case we were wondering if this was a Spiritual battle... they're now declaring that their goal is to "Crush MAGA Souls." Hmmm...
Thought the same thing.
I love the power of prayer, lay your troubles, worries at God's feet, and leave it there. For ALL the gains, we MUST give Him the glory, the honor, and praise, remain humbled through it all (we stumble at times).

Or scents, in the case of The Atlantic ... 😉

So, Iran, what do you want to do?
Also depends on which Iran we're talking about, as, even according to the central narrative, we have a case of dueling regimes.
Otherwise, well said.

Hello from France 🇫🇷, Neatio !
Regarding the iranian oil bought by China, I read different articles in which it's written they usually spend 30-32 billion-dollar a year !
Interesting. Great questions.
K.I.S.S., there is a reason Q reminded us often; sometimes, what is said may NOT be intended for us. Xi works to appease CCP leadership, a fine, and delicate walk. Lean too much in one direction, CCP party chiefs start raising their eyebrow. "Thucydides trap", two words the MSM doesn't hear or often see, and now they're swallowing, hook, line, and sinker. Amazing what the name of a 5th century analyst, and general can do.
In fact if something is being said, especially by Trump, that we are not relating to we can be rest assured that it is intended for and is relating to another audience.
What a great brief. Well thought-out and articulated commentary today.
MBS is one that I watch. The moves countermoves between DJT and Xi. It is all fun to watch. To know what they know would be so amazing.
Election - this is truly exciting! The winning is never boring.
Thank you all for your knowledge and insights! (I feel smarter now) 🤣
MBS is definitely signal.
Great brief, as always. I do wish they’d do Canada soon (“they” being the Sovereign Alliance) even before Cuba. Because, at least in part, it represents a legitimate threat and because it seems Canada is also India now. There is a massive Indian elephant in the room; especially in US/Canada, but also in Russia, and in China by way of a 2000 mile shared border and other matters. The “India issue” is not at all clear and only rarely mentioned in the current geopolitical discourse, especially as it relates to the US. Whatever the actual case is, I cannot help but think all of it is related. Where I live (in Canada) the tension is mounting. Well, at least my anxiety level is rising.
I'm seeing so many Canada stories hit the zeitgeist of late, it seems like seeding.
Having married a Canadian citizen, I too hope for the nation to be liberated ... but first, I think more Canadians need to understand they need to be liberated in the first place.
Tks. You are right, of course, but it’s hard being patient at the moment. “They” are coming to get me…
