As I read this brief, I was reminded of the TV show Let's Make a Deal. (yes, I'm that old).

Monty Hall would ask the contestant - "Do you want what is behind Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3?" This is how some of these stories feel. And I feel the humor and lightheartedness of that show carrying over to these stories.

And I see God in this -- because He can work with any scenario to achieve His plan. Due to this, I genuinely have peace over all of this. I can read and ponder and prognosticate, but it isn't up to me. I know the One who has the plan, and the One I trust is completely trustworthy.

I will keep reading and pondering and prognosticating - because it is interesting and fascinating. And now -- weirdly kind of fun.

Thanks to all the Badlanders who help to broaden my thoughts and ponderings. You guys are great!

Wonderful statement! Concur we know that all of this is in His hands and that dispels all fear!

There is a GREAT deal of mystery surrounding the RNC-DNC pipelaying incident that goes well past what charging or even convicting one person would explain. Lone Gunman explanations are so 60's.

Ashe, thank you for your “on the ground” perspective from the time between the 2020 election and “inauguration.” Probably more than a few of us can relate to the frustration of “demonstrating” during those times. It is our God given right to assemble. Unfortunately the devil was also in the mix. Now that we are more aware of the controlled opposition dynamic, we wonder if we were wasting our time, duped, manipulated, used. Your level of dedication, then and now, make me realize that we were, and continue to be instrumental. We move forward toward truth, wisened and battle hardened.

Part of the controlled oppo dynamic has always been getting earnest protesters to war with those who won't because they fear traps.

I believe Pres. Trump is brilliantly exposing the blatant double standard the political left has been pushing for decades. When he ordered the Strait of Hormuz opened to all shipping traffic, he made it crystal clear that freedom of navigation applies to every Nation, not just the ones the left happens to like. Yet the only ports and ships being detained, inspected, or blocked from entering or leaving are Iranian ones. The left stays strangely silent about that selective enforcement. They scream about “escalation” and “warmongering” whenever Pres. Trump takes decisive action, but they conveniently ignore that only Iran is facing real consequences.

It’s the same old double standard, rules for thee, but not for me.

The hypocrisy doesn’t stop there. The same voices on the left are now laughing off Pres. Trump’s threats to pull the United States out of the U. N. and NATO, calling it all “a big joke.” They act like America can just walk away from these institutions with zero impact. What they refuse to admit is that the U.S. military has effectively been the military arm of both the U.N. and NATO for well over a decade. We provide the overwhelming majority of the funding, logistics, intelligence, and combat power that keeps these organizations functional.

Several European countries today could not mount a credible defense of their own borders without American forces, bases, and supply lines. They have hollowed out their militaries, cut defense spending for years, and now act shocked that Pres. Trump is tired of carrying them.

Look at England, once the greatest Naval power on Earth, the empire on which the sun never set. Today the Royal Navy is a shadow of its former self. It lacks the ships, the manpower, and the readiness to operate a full fleet capable of projecting real power. Britain went from ruling the waves to barely being able to patrol its own waters without relying on U.S. support. That is not strength, that is dependence. And the left wants us to keep subsidizing that weakness forever while they mock Pres. Trump for pointing it out.

Pres. Trump is done pretending. He’s showing the world that America will no longer be the global sucker that funds and fights for everyone else’s security while getting zero respect in return. The left can call his threats a joke all they want, but the rest of us see the truth, without the United States, NATO and the U.N.’s so-called “international order” collapse overnight. Pres. Trump is simply telling our so-called allies and the left the uncomfortable truth they’ve been avoiding for years.

@Burning Bright: "The Curious Case..."

I have, during my work life as a leader, coach and manager, defined "discernment" as "The relevant knowledge and incumbent wisdom and understanding needed to enable one to grasp AND comprehend that which is obscure, uncommon or opaque."

AI applies a similar definition to the combination of pattern recognition and rigorous logic - a combination that it considers rare. Rare and yet crucial for discovery and complex problem-solving.

Agreed!

Interestingly, AI also notes that AI, though excelling in recognizing patterns "in massive datasets" lacks the "context awareness" (the logical comprehension) that humans use to validate patterns. In other words, AI cannot determine the difference between noise (patterns without purpose) and solutions (or "signal" - patterns that can lead to morally acceptable improvements).

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for discernment in times or turmoil 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Burning Bright's avatar

Absolutely.

AI can ultimately be an accelerator FOR human cognition.

It will NOT replace it.

ALtab's avatar

This is worth reading (repeatedly) as we often need reminders to remember where to direct our focus, and maybe more importantly, where NOT to. Thank you, HGV!

I like the vibe I am sensing across Badlands since GART 11 proved that it is a great idea to have open, honest (and at times passionate) debates about any/every topic. It is what the Golden Age demands.

Thanks for today's takes... GBPH & Ashe I would love it if the two of you would start a campaign to petition Trump 2.0 to include RICO Grande as a contestant at the Trump-A-Mania event planned for this summer on the WH lawn:-) I don't ask for any credit just a pair of tickets ringside:-)

Winning is soo much fun!

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

Burning Bright's avatar

GARTs truly are BIG energy revitalizers for us and I think for the Badlands as a whole.

Everyone who comes, physically or virtually ends up sort of feeling refocused in the current context of the Info War, the Mind War and the Spiritual War, and redouble each other's efforts.

remember when schiff quoted a phone conversation into the congressional record then got questioned and admitted it was a “hypothetical” conversation? yeah, that guy needs to swing. 🧣

Can’t believe Schift is still on our planet.

Jim Schout's avatar

Schiff is a key player in the big picture. He is “big” much like Judas Iscariot was “big” in the Christian story. Schiff is a traitor but his crimes open the book to a much more important revelation. Is America being reborn?

This is what I am witnessing. The more the Left vilifies our president, the more powerful the truth becomes. Will our story be told in 2000 years? We based our design on the Creator’s intents. That idea has been under attack by satan ever since. We the People must win this battle even if the majority don’t even know the battle is being waged for their personal benefit.

If we think about it, who in the time of Jesus knew what he was doing for their benefit? But he did what had to be done and we are reaping that benefit today. I think all of us are blessed to be allowed to witness and participate in the present day events. I think a lot about where we would be today were it not for 30 Silver coins being accepted for selling out the Son of GOD.

Impeachment #1 was just another diversion to change the subject from the Mueller investigation that had totally collapsed. Mueller was a diversion from the Russia Hoax that was known to be bogus, but the attack on Trump needed new momentum.

Actually, COVID-19 was a diversion from the failed impeachment. The good news is today we see the name Eric Ciaramella in an indictment. The bad news is no one sees how this all ties together.

In January 2020 as impeachment #1 was falling apart, the name of the whistle blower was going to be exposed. The very night that was to happen, COVID took front stage and the name was never exposed. The reason Schiff claimed the name Had to be hidden was not as he claimed. Instead it was because the name could easily be used in an internet search to expose his involvement with Joe and Hunter Biden back in Ukraine as early as 2014! In other words his name would prove beyond any doubt that the whole impeachment was a cover-up of truth that Trump had implied in the “Perfect Phone Call”.

Will this all now be explained to the public? We are seeing some positive signs. I know the truth is right here to be told, but will it?

Our great hope RICO. Conspiracies against rulers are not new, King David dealt with a grand conspiracy as well, led by his son Absalom (2Sam 15-19). King David devolved his government, the party left behind steered actions to a civil war playing on the hubris of Absalom. The conspiracy resolved quickly but with many people killed. The scope of this conspiracy is not limited to one nation, it is global and involves the counsel of many Hushai's in different nations to confound the plans of the conspirators. I believe President Trump & the sovereign alliance bro's are taking the longer path to gather evidence to roll up the conspirators in a judicial manner to minimize the loss of life. The line "it must be done right & by the book, we only have one chance" rings in my ears.

Burning Bright's avatar

Nothing new under the sun.

That can be taken as a doomer's take, but I think it's encouraging.

This evil has been faced before, and ultimately rooted out.

The twist that Lavrov added to the conversation not only provides Trump an off ramp, but allows us to see the Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly psyop play out. The question of whether these four are part of the op may never be fully answered, but Gene Decode has some insights into the who and why in the most recent David Nino Rodriguez podcast.

The idea that Iraq's new government is Shiite when the rest of Iraq is Sunni is interesting because it allows Iran and Iraq to hold discussions on de-escalating the tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and helps Iran rebuild. It also makes me wonder if Shiite Islam isn't what we are led to believe it is. Same is true with Sunni Islam. Perhaps Islam in its original form was just Islam and those divisions exploit tribal allegiences among Arabs. Makes me wonder if Iraq was part of this coalition (the multipolar one) all along.

Kind of like the Orban loss in Hungary. Although Soros is celebrating, is this part of the show? There is something that doesn't fit right with the narrative associated with his loss. Why is the President silent?

Anna's avatar

I like your thought process where you stated "Perhaps Islam in its original form was just Islam and those divisions exploit tribal allegiances among Arabs."

I agree. This goes back 1400+ years.

This reminds me of the movie The Kingdom of Heaven. When you watch the interaction of Salahedin with his "generals", there are those who are very militant and those who are more interested in peace.

Not much different than the denominations within the christian church. People divide over ideologies that they are unwilling to compromise on. Sometimes that is a very good thing - thinking of the abuses of the church that Luther exposed. But many times it is a divide over the silliest of things.

Maybe if we ALL went back to the origins and stopped changing things -- the world would be somewhat more peaceful??? Not that it has ever been very peaceful.

ALtab's avatar

Very interesting assessment and there is much merit here…even going back to our original very limited government here in the US. (Kingdom of Heaven is a favorite of my husband’s.)

Eileen, what absolutely great questions! Excellent!

Hi Eileen !

I concur 💯 with your analysis of the 2 sides of islam.

Regarding the Orban loss, I invite you to read this comment and the whole follow -up thread under it:

Hello,

I recommend that everyone, if you're interested, go back and (re)read the comments from the various Briefs since Monday, viewing them in chronological order.

There have been many helpful follow-up responses regarding the various events of the weekend (Artemis II, Orban's defeat, etc.) and numerous comments from Burning Bright!

Thank you for your attention to this matter! [©® President Donald TRUMP]

Hi ALtab !

I do hope so ...

But why ??

ALtab's avatar

Because it’s great advice to fill out our understanding and we often forget to go back.. & the thank you for your attention…!😊

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

Going back seems very used today !

Thank you very much for your kind words I appreciate! 🙏🏻💕🕊️

I'm just used to screenshot each evening the number of comments of the recent Brieves, and I saw there was many more added since Tuesday night… 🤗😉

OPERATION ERASER HENCEFORTH

In the Middle East, the Arab Nations have broken out their erasers, blotting out where ISIL was once scribbled across their maps. In another, ISIS is barely seen, and when POTUS Trump steps off one area, there pops up an Arab leader with an eraser. They caught on quick, and they are starting to move quick, they too don't want the House of Lloyd London or another Hidden Hand setting up camp anywhere on their turf, ....again. The SA are staying close behind POTUS Trump with their needed tools, erasers, paint brushes, pipe welders, and set to work once POTUS Trump departs one area, they are making it very difficult for any Hidden Hands to encroach their area, and they are locking it down tight. They're setting up redundancies of bypasses, making sure there are no possibilities of any more choke points.

AT THE HOME FRONT, THE GROUNDS HAVE BEGUN TO RUMBLE THROUGHOUT THE STATES

It may not be perp walks, but Lady Justice, and her Posse have hit many of the lawless towns, dragging the once untouchable to the People's Courts. [THEY] relied on their judges, but now Lady Justice uses the patriots judges to get the big cases, while lawfare judges get the mundane cases. Those who keep screaming there is no justice, do so without looking or listening, they just want to whine, because that's all they know how to do. Planting season is well on its way, the weeds, and thorn bushes have been burned off. Come summer, the fields will be full of bloom. NBK

—-‘It’s choreography. …almost as if the moves were pre-seeded years ago. Which is exactly what we’re seeing now.’ I think you are still analyzing this correctly! What a gifted mind you have, Fearless Tiger!

—-I’m with Ashe completely on this. ‘Maybe RICO Grande is another rug. But, also, we appear to be closer than ever to something resembling accountability. Either way, it’s damn entertaining.’ Ashe also reminds us of this obvious fact, ‘Both sides of “the people” are being psyopped. Remember who the real enemy is…’. This is what I consider we too often neglect. The best reason to maintain one’s view from 40k ft.

—-Ghost always nails the machinations that are the Middle East, at the various levels, too. ‘All of this distracts from Israel’s attempt to become the region’s hegemony by suggesting that all oil be run to Israel instead of pipelines?’ Saved for last appears to have expanding meanings. Hence the recent activity. ‘I think this is the beginning of the public divorce of President Trump and PM Bibi Netanyahu.’ Concur.

—-Things are heating up evidenced by the (long known by this group) public disclosures regarding the ‘pipe bombs’ narratives.👀

—-Thank you to each one here!

Burning Bright's avatar

I think where we differ at Badlands compared to others in the Truth Community who admittedly see the choreography is that we then map that choreography and seek to understand the frameworks and systems it's disclosing, rather than just cheering for the show.

Sort of like regurtitating the plot of a film without understanding what it's about.

ALtab's avatar

That difference is why I’m still here!

A/o recall prior to this Iran War ... numerous reports that large segments of Iran self-identified as Christian (which surprised many Americans)? Q the Storm Rider reported (on Patreon): millions of Iranians incl IRCG leadership were hearing what they believed was the voice of Jesus talking in their minds. QTSR was suggesting it was a USSF high tech psyop. Also he is reporting: US military has been destroying a vast ancient underground negative energy network infrastructure (black rock +) which has fomented & codified violent Mid East divisions. Could our beloved Peace Prez be removing Satan's Seeds of Hatred from the Holy Lands?

If a single word captured his TS posts re: Iran, I would use the word ... GOOFY ... almost like DJT has been drinking from Nancy's bottomless bottle of chardonnay staggering around Oval Office reaching out for Xi's Big, Fat Hugs. Aren't these day-to-day wildly contradictory Iran TS posts unlike any previous DJT communication? Sure, many times DJT has played the loud arrogant American Industrialist buffoon. But this latest DJT is much more wildly unpredictable who can be the tenderest good natured drunk one minute and then the savage brute punching to knock your lights out in the next minute. As always, The Boss reads his lines with conviction.

Personally I'll be relieved when the movie(s) stops & people can just return to being human again ... instead of central casting characters reading lines inside a psyop nested inside another psyop while yet another psyop is operating in the background. Perhaps the purpose of this endlessly insane kabuki is to incentive humanity to source & share truth, love & innerstanding inside our own hearts. Christ awaits each son and daughter of God. Lezzzz Love!

I believe the 2030s will mark a decade of reconciliations across political, cultural and perhaps most importantly, spiritual grounds.

This certainly explains why my formerly Trump-supporting son-in-law has soured on Trump’s ‘role’. He also isn’t a reader and I’m not sure what podcasts he listens to. I did get him a copy of The Art of War (which just happed to be in a store where I was with a granddaughter today…I don’t believe in coincidence and I’ve been referring to it all week…😊
