“The greatest victim of bureaucratic dysfunction is public trust.” — Ashe in America
The needle slowly slowly moves, after the magnetic disturbance of decades of distrust by the American public through an underhanded skewing of our moral compass…slowly aligning with our true north values in fair Justice and accountability. MAGA
Pegasus…here I drift off into a lovely daydream of a beautiful magestic mighty stallion of grace and strength, soaring through the sky on powerful wings, hooves sounding like thunder…to soar above the mundane to ride the winds of inspiration, the boundless possibilities of creative thought…Oh dear…back to earth…we are discussing the Trojan horse of spyware, hidden in the beauty of an ancient myth. Like [they] often do, stealing a symbol to cloak their secrets,
“repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.” (Thank you, JFK) and secret spyware.
FINALLY! Someone admitting that Israel is not perfect! Phew, took a while:) Now I am far behind in my Badlands reading, but Ghost's piece today was the first I've seen giving a full throated tirade against something, anything! going on in Israel. My Take: God clearly stated that if Israel did not follow HIM, they would be punished. I have yet to see one single tiny suggestion that October might have been such a thing. I am not brave enough to be the first.
Yep! — I highly recommend the last two+ weeks worth of Bdlnds Brief for immediate remedial reading! (Can also catch Monday’s Daily news vid, w/ Ghost & check Breaking History archives & new.) Tons there!
Scroll down to Ghost takes. (Luckily, it’s only weekdays 😂)
Ghost is an antisemitic asshole who is grossly misinformed about the DeepState and Israel in particular.
He states that Israel is a “national-socialist country much like the US”. WTF is he talking about. Neither Israel nor the U.S. is Fascist even if the DeepState players who infect both countries lean that way. Anyone who says something like this has gone off the deep end of conspiracy theory.
There is no way Mr. Trump or Mr. Netanyahu would be in these governments if they were Fascist.
Are there elements inside both governments and the bureaucracies that are DeepState and fascist? Of course but they still hide behind the facade of democratic legitimacy.
Ghost is a Jew hating POS who I have been tracking for some time. He hides behind MAGA but is not.
You know, I was going to say the same thing, but, being hamburger to your steak, I couldn’t find the references!
The easily accessible definitions say fascism is a totalitarian, dictatorial system and only mention the corporatism as a wrong usage! I was sure that was wrong, but deleted what I’d written anyway.
So, thanks much!
(Your piece today merited five stars and a WOWOW in my c/p’d notes today. Nailed it bigly, with that truthbomb, GM. Hats off & much gratitude. )
I actually am more inclined to believe he is a shill, there's no way he doesn't know this if he's actually been "studying" the situation for the 5 decades he's claimed.
I’m a shill for truth and facts. (Your sophomoric view of the US federal system is a sad commentary on today’s school systems).
That being said, there is no overlord corporation controlling the USAs government. There are big and small players all competing for a piece. And there’s also the people and the Constitution.
If what ghost and you say were true then there could never be a Trump possible. Yet here he is.
If these big, bad corporations control EVERYTHING, then how do explain Trump?
If the federal gov is completely taken over by fascists and corporate interests, then how has Mr. Trump managed to stay one step ahead?
Yes, I’ve studied this phenomena for over 50 yrs, both occurring here and throughout history. The DeepState players, the side of evil has existed since Cain killed Abel.
Nothing new here, just the inventive ways they try to gain control. Are there major corporate actors who exert pressure on the government to benefit themselves? Yes
But here’s the truth: They are NEVER in control and NEVER will be.
Good will always win. Evil always will try but they only have lies and harm on their side. Truth resides with Good. Love resides with Good. Good alway wins in the end.
So, coming to this place and stating ideas and theories that are simplistic and easily countered will never work. Leave that kind of thing to the places where you have a bunch of dumbass sheep who will believe your crap, like on MSNBC
But here we talk about what is real, so get real.
Simplistic talk won’t cut it.
Bottom line: The USA is not a fascist state. And as long as America has good people who will speak up, as long as it has a Constitution, and as long as the people are unified against evil the likes of unreasonable hatred towards individual groups, America will NEVER become what you and ghost think it is.
Since neither you nor ghost have responded to my question of why he used the term “kooks” to describe orthodox Jewry or why ghost continually uses delegitimized UN and Hamas sources to cast blame on the Israeli people or why ghost has no clue on the inner workings of the parliamentary system of Israel or why he never states data that comes from Israel but only its enemies, you are still considered antisemitic fools in my book.
But,
The people can still make a difference:
1. Don’t believe GhostofBasedPatrickHenry because he’s a Jew hating POS and uninformed fool
So you say "there're no bad guys in control" and then, "bad guys are in control" in the same comment and you want to be taken seriously?
I just ask for a bit of rational thought, but we don't get that from you. We get incessant whinging about how impossible the obvious is, simply because it disagrees with YOUR preconceived notions.
What's worse is this... I can understand how 10, 15 years ago when there were very few sources discussing these topics that people might hold on to your perspective. But now, with what's already been published right here on Badlands alone, you could answer literally every concern you just raised by simply reading and verifying the facts therein. But you don't.
This theory of Mr Ghost is a very simplistic view of a very complex system called the federal system.
There is no overseeing central power controlling all. This is truly a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.
There have been powerful players, individuals and corporate entities who have exerted power over the nation since before and after its inception. And of course because of the efforts of Trump, etc. the cockroaches who do wish to convert the country into a dictatorship controlled by a corporate cabal lead by the world bankers have been exposed for all to see.
Ron Paul extensively talked about this for years but he never gained any traction with the mainstream. It wasn’t until showman Trump exposed it that people like ghost were shaken out of their little comfy boxes to awaken to reality.
None of this is new. Before the USA these power hungry insecure types infected nation after nation, causing wars and death to vast numbers of innocents though out history.
And since Christ, an easy scapegoat was the Jewish people. They could be accused of any kind of crazy shit because, as ghost says, they are religious “kooks”.
When the evil tyrants needed a patsy to hide their corruption, Jews became easy prey for camouflage.
So here’s the proof that there is no singular corporate cabal of evil controlling the USA or Israel: Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. These men go against the powers that be and can win.
And it’s their winning that disproves the theory that the USA or Israel are “controlled by” fascists. Both would be dead if this were true and it’s not.
The fascists DO want to control everything and they make a big show to pretend they do. BUT THEY DO NOT!
We can Vote these dictators out of power by supporting people like Trump and Netanyahu.
Ghost would have you believe that Israel’s PM is owned by the DeepState. If that were true, why do they hate him as much as Trump? They tried lawfare on him at the same time as Trump. This is so easy to see unless you are a Jew hating POS like ghost.
Why do I put ghost into this category? It’s very subtle but I see him intentionally choosing made up “facts” from known antisemitic groups (UN and Hamas), to go after Israel’s people. He’s not just going after Israel’s government with his lies and distortions but he goes after Israeli people who happen to be mostly of Jewish decent.
ALL governments can be criticized. It’s when you cast dispersions on the people that a line must be drawn. And that’s why I attack ghost. Not for his criticism of Israeli government, even though he knows little to nothing about Israel’s internal workings, but for his blatant attacks of the Israeli people; the “kooks” who practice their religion in the same way the zealot Yeshua of Nazareth did 2,000 years ago.
Ghost is a low I.Q. Simpleton who has an unjustified hatred for Jews and the Israeli state. Maybe it’s his upbringing or that he doesn’t know any Jews personally. Maybe a Jew treated him badly in the past. Who knows?
I feel sorry for him and all those like him with such blind hatred. And I will continue to point it out.
(Please notice how ghost’s response to my replies glaringly omits any explanation for his antisemitic comments of the past or his ignorance concerning the parliamentary system used in Israel. Yet he tries to come over like he knows anything about the subjects of Israel or the Middle East. I think I’ve said this before but it’s worth restating: Go back to school ghost and pull your head out of your butt. )
In conclusion I have shown that:
“Corporate America and her oligarchs control the federal government” is incorrect and the proof is Trump.
So what “everybody” knows is wrong and Dave may just have a point.
I understand why you’re so passionate about this. But, do your research and follow deeper and better. I did my own very deep dives and when later I found Ghost’s pieces, they exactly comported with, and greatly filled in, what I’d found on my own. The predicates are sound.
BTW, I am not “antisemitic” if by that you mean wishing harm of any kind on Jewish people and that includes those living in the state of Israel. What THAT is (the State of Israel), is just as amoebic as labels like ‘fascist’ and ‘antisemite’ (those two have such varied meanings that they’re practically worthless and are used to dismiss and dispatch others’ persons or words in an emotional and inflammatory way. Don’t do it.
Rather than a diatribe and name-calling accusations, why not just engage in some back & forth debate with him on specific areas of disagreement, providing your supporting evidence?
You are mistaken if you think that I use the terms racist or antisemitism lightly like the left do.
Answer me this :
Would you call a priest or monk of the Catholic Church a religious “kook” with their white collar or shaved head?
Or a Muslim woman completely covered by her hijab, would you call her a kook?
Uninformed or misguided, maybe?
So, why did ghost call Orthodox Jews “kooks”?
One reason: prejudice
Has he or will he apologize ?
Or please tell me why he purposely uses data from antisemitic organizations like the UN to back up his opinions?
And he NEVER goes to Israeli sources to see another side!
Why????
He never quotes any Israeli sources only opposition sources. It’s not hard to get both sides but he never has both sides.
He provides only one side and that side is the side of Jew hating fucks.
How can I say this? Because I get both sides. One from him and one from Israel. It’s not hard, either.
I tell you this, ghost is wrong most of the time. He doesn’t know or he purposely ignores the facts.
His antisemitism is subtle most of the time. If I wasn’t I touch with Israelis and the truth I would miss it.
I believe he purposely leans against Israel. He may call himself MAGA but he is prejudice against Jews. Not just the Israeli government, which is open to criticism , but he more than hints at being against the people of Israel.
That’s akin to hating Americans because of their government.
It’s wrong and ghost is wrong.
That’s my opinion and we have been hashing over this for weeks and my opinion has just gotten stronger.
But I do appreciate your kind expression of concern.
Go to YouTube and watch Carolin Glick show. It’s a start.
Dear Ghost, I SO appreciate your history lessons and helping me, your reader, to discern between men (governments) and nations (peoples -image beares of the Almighty). Paul and Peter (in the Book of Acts)were deliberate, in their bringing the Gospel to the early church, to underscore the fact that they were preaching Jesus and NOT themselves -not men, but God.
Already in early Christianity, the Gospel was being mixed with paganism and idolatry and Paul addressed this numerous times in his letters. The first thing Satan does is to manipulate words, and our understanding. Mis-ascribing the name "Israel" , originally intended for a people, chosen by God, to refer to a "government", which you are educating us about to be VERY flawed and corrupt, (I think Isaiah's imagery is appropos, "a brood of vipers".) is, of course, a violation of the 2nd Commandment:
Deuteronomy 5:11 KJV
[11] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
We, as Christians, and 'political allies', have been propagandized in this mind war, and confounded by evildoers, to never question the geo-political entity know as "Israel". But there is so much more TRUTH to know about the real allies and enemies in this current war, the mind war.
It's time to get back to THE WORD:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV
[3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
As a Christian I must say that it was NOT my church that asserted that we must support the government of Israel, it was the US government through Presidents and Congress. I realized the difference a few years ago but did not have full understanding until Gaza. God truly does give us discernment even when we don’t yet understand it! Praise God and pray for the people who are suffering from this war fostered by men full of greed for riches and power. Thank you Ghost for giving us historical insight into this war of men.
Few nights ago, my husband and I were in the kitchen. We were talking as I was making dinner and out if nowhere, my work cell phone, which was charging on the counter chirps "I am sorry, I didn't understand that. Please repeat." We looked at each other and he said "it's recording us " It PISSES me off.
BB I am right there with you (and CP) that nothing is as it seems. I have a friend who often calls me worked up about the click bait of the day. All I can do is laugh and try to make him laugh too. Taking sides on their narratives is self defeating.
Amen GBOH: "Jesus, take the wheel. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry". The "Leaders" have been compromised in most institutions including (especially) religion.
BB: Thank you for holding the line! It is so easy to cheer when a desired outcome is trumpeted, even if it occurs under dubious means. In other words, we too can justify the means by the promised ends and it never goes well when we do ("Patriot Act"). First Principles must be adhered to no matter - or they are not actually First.
AiA: I have an increasing respect for your Takes - thank you for all the hours you spend honing your expertise! That said - I don't trust polls - even if they confirm my biases.
GBPH: Please know that I have taken a personal accountability to pray for your safety, discernment, and wisdom! Consider all the ways that you might be attacked and expect the ones at the bottom of your list to be favored.
Amen and amen to: "American Christians are in a very dangerous place right now, spiritually, because they are worshipping men on earth, in Israel, in open defiance of everything Jesus said. It is blasphemy, because it is idolatry in its most perverse form. (Worshipping living men—not just statues or trees.)" And not just in Israel, btw. Like this form of "magic", "Christian Zionism" is relatively new - its oldest roots going back to the mid-1500's but it spike in popularity is less then 200 years old.
I will NEVER recognize Biden as a legitimate president nor anything else that is less than a criminal. In my view, because Biden is NOT the president, he can legally be arrested for seditious conspiracy and treason. But we must live through this BS movie because someone somewhere thinks it is better than alternative methods.
It's gaslighting like this that really pisses me off: "If that happens, Republican lawmakers who have branded Harris as Biden's "border czar"—a description seen by her supporters as inaccurate"
I don't know how people remain calm about this crap. It was Biden and Harris and the left who labeled her the "border czar" - an odd title choice.
The Lying Liars and the Lies they Tell. How do you tell if a politician or news anchor is lying? They open their mouth.
Still though. How do you all stay calm in the face of this garbage noise.
Among other things, you need to read [their] words carefully. For example your first quote:
"If that happens, Republican lawmakers who have branded Harris as Biden's "border czar"—a description seen by her supporters as inaccurate"
See the 'weasel words' in there? [They] emphatically do not say that the 'description' of 'border czar' is inaccurate. They say 'her supporters (see it as) inaccurate.' Huge difference. They hope you don't notice.
Once you realize it's all 'garbage noise' as you clearly do, it gets easier to dismiss it as drivel written by idiots for morons. I'd guess everyone here recalls Brandon appointing Camel-a$$ 'border czar' probably back in late 2021 or early 2022. [They] are trying to convince their moron readers that wasn't so. For those readers, there's little hope anyway, so not much loss.
Gregory, I’m not always calm but I stay sane because it is garbage noise. See Wild Bill. Don’t give up, stay the course, and look beyond the noise! It’s tough and confusing sometimes! Give it a 24-48 hour cycle, pay attention what President Trump really says and stay based with Badlands News Brief!😊❤️🇺🇸
Oh yes, *We* all know it's garbage but people like my parents eat it up as if it's the Right being bad guys again.
What we actually needed (past tense now) was a real Project Mahem (Fight Club) to destroy people's TV access so they would unplug from the Matrix. But since that didn't happen, NOW we have to slog through all this damn sewage until we can finally clean it up and have the promised land.
I think there may quite a bit of beneficial mayhem happening out of our sight. But we can see its wake if we look. We’re here do do our parts, in courage, wisdom goodness; faith, hope and love. We hold together, some in the vanguard hack away the vines & brambles, some hold the lamp high, some read the map, compass in hand, some carry & serve sustenance & refreshment, some carry & tend the wounded, some preach & give encouragement, some just lighten our hearts & some carry up the rear, picking up stragglers.
A few days ago I alluded to the fact, w/o Badlands real news updates on Israel/Ukraine/etc... shenanigans, I’d have no real news at all----bet I’m not alone in that assessment!?! Keep the even gross and gore details coming---by now you better be strong enough to take it!?! God Bless!!!
If you all have not read the Book by Arthur Koestler: "The Thirteenth Tribe" to Understand links between Israel, Ukraine, and the Khazar's, you should read it. It will help a Lot to understand what is going on in those places, and the People Involved with Jewish Mysticism (read: magic) as discussed by GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
"Plausible deniability, lessons learned, and a focus on the future ruled the two bureaucrats’ response under oath."
This is the standard response whenever bureaucrats are caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Remember what happened after the C19 response disaster finally was widely accepted? "Time to forgive and forget, we did the best we could; let's move on."
So long as incompetence is tolerated rather than punished, it will not end. It will only get worse.
I hope that Trump's presidency will indeed be 'a term of retribution.' All who have been incompetent or worse, malevolent need to pay for their misdeeds. No more 'failing up.' You fail, you fired -- or worse.
I think incompetence may at present be part of the official job description. Dishonesty too. Bad character, perversion, low but cunning IQ; weakness for perks preferred. Goes for all areas of our administrative hiring including the hospital/ med high-ups.
Incompetence is not officially part of the description, but the incentives once hired reward incompetence and 'going with the flow' while disincentivizing independent thought and performance-based evaluation.
From there, the result is inevitable, and we are seeing it on full display.
One of Obama's law professors at Chicago said Obama was not very bright, but he was incredibly clever. Perfect match for government.
Revisiting…I am unable to “like” posts — substack issue? — Anyway, I was by no means making light of your great comm. Just trying to add some levity to this dark & frustrating status quo. Change is a coming but fortitude & 🙏🏼Are needed.
Btw…Officially stamping “❤️“ on all your excellent contributions in perpetuity.
~ D
P.S. the like ❤️ works in the activity section showing replies though. 🤷🏻♀️
"Like" stopped working for me a while back, several weeks.
Featherjourney suggested maybe I should update my browser. I'm at rev 81 and it's now 127. Other sites (x.com for instance) don't work either which so far is a minor annoyance (the only time I go to x is when someone links to a photo or post there).
And all of this would be quite funny, were it not so serious. 💖 back at 'ya!
— just have apple phone & pad. I use the site, not the APP. I never update devices & don’t use the cloud. Potential & actual prying settings are off.
Baffling is that it happened during that electromagnetic storm thing a few months ago. Also lost some home outlet use at the same time (It’s not at the breaker). Others reported at the time that they couldn’t “like” comms anymore.
Curiously, I discovered I can register “likes” to comments in my activity feed & other’s notes. I think it may be a substack glitch…? 🤷🏻♀️
Haven’t found a way to inform Substack of this — Have you?
No cell phone here, except a flip phone we only turn on occasionally, like when we travel. I'm using my old Lenovo think pad, with Firefox browser. Only use the site, no apps run on flip phones (one of the reason we got rid of a cheap 'Motorola' smart phone and got the flip phone. No updates, no apps, few bugs.
Home outlets: if they are the GFCI or AFCI type, the electronics might have been damaged. (These are the types with the 'reset' button.) If damaged, even when you press 'reset' they might not work again and need to be replaced.
No idea how to send Badlands or Substack a PM. Someone else might know. 💖
Israel isn’t a human government. Israel is the human descendants of Abraham via Isaac. Their only true leader, based on the Old Testament is God. No human election will change God’s mind. He is their King whether they recognize Him or not.
Ordinary, I sure appreciate where you’re coming from, but the dispensationalism and false, or deceived, teachers have been abusing Scripture since the Scofield Study Bible was seeded into US churches. It is a theoretical theological system which has been cleverly and cunningly designed to mislead the faithful, establishing false premises, recasting the entirety of His Word (especially prophetic passages and covenants) so that everything is understood through that distorting lens.
So, for decades, earnest & faithful believers think it is historic Christian, Biblical teaching and many misconceptions re eschatology, Christians and Jews, the State of Israel, geopolitics and touching on the very nature of God and the Gospel. It’s presented as God’s Truth. It is not.
Do the research, carefully read the history and your Bible through a clear and prayerful lens. What a shocking and grievous thing has been done to us!
Can you give us some examples? Not a challenge, just curious. Also some sources to start? I understand that there are more books that are not included in the King James Version. Thank you.
It’s not a different Bible. but a widely held system of Biblical interpretation taught by CI Scofield and studied & taught using his vast notes & other’s writings in most EV churches starting in 1917, mainly (which coincides by design with the Balfour declaration) . It’s a re-thinking of God’s plan, especially as regards Israel (zionist and ancient, conflated) and it’s huge today, especially since statehood in 1948. Most churches don’t even know it’s a devised system. Rather than aberrant, they assume it’s basic Biblical truth.
I wrote a tome to you on this, but I realized you were thinking I was speaking about a different BIBLE, or book of the Bible, like the Apocrypha, which it is not.
I’d written a tome on the topic. If you want me (oops! Edit here) …I was going to write I could sent it if you want me to, but I lost it when I copied to save in my notes but was shocked to find I’d lost it. (Floating in my texting thumb somewhere😂 Oh well!
Please accept my apology! I re-read your post and I would agree with you. I believe I mistook your meaning and intent. The problem is that one never knows whether “Israel” refers to the state or to the Jewish people today or to God’s People of the OT & NT, or believers in Christ, Messiah, who acknowledge and belong to God. It’s a confusing thing, and often equivocated too, as we see so much today, especially in geopolitics, church & society and Biblical Eschatogogy & prophesy.
I agree as to the confusion. It isn’t easy to discern the events today. I pray often about the events of this world. I believe that there is an overarching plan, but can’t pretend to understand it.
Ashe nailed the so-called investigation into the attempted assassination, ‘The greatest victim of bureaucratic dysfunction is public trust.’👏
Venezuela evidently got the help from the globalists’ best tool, the CIA. They used Dominion and we were surprised Maduro ‘won’? The interesting thing about this is some more people illegally entering the US…under Biden/Harris administration. The Fearless Tiger has good advice, ‘This is a trial run. Exercise discernment.’ Here we go again.
Hmm…Rosenstein representing one of Israel’s fascist corporate partners…. The west’s intelligence agencies have much to explain, then face justice.
Ghost’s coverage of the evil in Israeli military is scary, ‘…between military men like Yoav Gallant and Jewish Mystics like Itamar Ben-Gvir—and the crux of the issue is... the right to brutally rape male prisoners?’ 🙏🙏
Assassinations and censorship, election fraud and rape expose what a world does once they abandon our Creator! God bless the awakening. 🙏🙏

Beware!!!
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

Corporate America and her oligarchs control the federal government. Everybody knows this but Dave, apparently.
You know, I was going to say the same thing, but, being hamburger to your steak, I couldn’t find the references!

This theory of Mr Ghost is a very simplistic view of a very complex system called the federal system.
There is no overseeing central power controlling all. This is truly a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.
There have been powerful players, individuals and corporate entities who have exerted power over the nation since before and after its inception. And of course because of the efforts of Trump, etc. the cockroaches who do wish to convert the country into a dictatorship controlled by a corporate cabal lead by the world bankers have been exposed for all to see.
Ron Paul extensively talked about this for years but he never gained any traction with the mainstream. It wasn’t until showman Trump exposed it that people like ghost were shaken out of their little comfy boxes to awaken to reality.
None of this is new. Before the USA these power hungry insecure types infected nation after nation, causing wars and death to vast numbers of innocents though out history.
And since Christ, an easy scapegoat was the Jewish people. They could be accused of any kind of crazy shit because, as ghost says, they are religious “kooks”.
When the evil tyrants needed a patsy to hide their corruption, Jews became easy prey for camouflage.
So here’s the proof that there is no singular corporate cabal of evil controlling the USA or Israel: Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. These men go against the powers that be and can win.
And it’s their winning that disproves the theory that the USA or Israel are “controlled by” fascists. Both would be dead if this were true and it’s not.
The fascists DO want to control everything and they make a big show to pretend they do. BUT THEY DO NOT!
We can Vote these dictators out of power by supporting people like Trump and Netanyahu.
Ghost would have you believe that Israel’s PM is owned by the DeepState. If that were true, why do they hate him as much as Trump? They tried lawfare on him at the same time as Trump. This is so easy to see unless you are a Jew hating POS like ghost.
Why do I put ghost into this category? It’s very subtle but I see him intentionally choosing made up “facts” from known antisemitic groups (UN and Hamas), to go after Israel’s people. He’s not just going after Israel’s government with his lies and distortions but he goes after Israeli people who happen to be mostly of Jewish decent.
ALL governments can be criticized. It’s when you cast dispersions on the people that a line must be drawn. And that’s why I attack ghost. Not for his criticism of Israeli government, even though he knows little to nothing about Israel’s internal workings, but for his blatant attacks of the Israeli people; the “kooks” who practice their religion in the same way the zealot Yeshua of Nazareth did 2,000 years ago.
Ghost is a low I.Q. Simpleton who has an unjustified hatred for Jews and the Israeli state. Maybe it’s his upbringing or that he doesn’t know any Jews personally. Maybe a Jew treated him badly in the past. Who knows?
I feel sorry for him and all those like him with such blind hatred. And I will continue to point it out.
(Please notice how ghost’s response to my replies glaringly omits any explanation for his antisemitic comments of the past or his ignorance concerning the parliamentary system used in Israel. Yet he tries to come over like he knows anything about the subjects of Israel or the Middle East. I think I’ve said this before but it’s worth restating: Go back to school ghost and pull your head out of your butt. )
In conclusion I have shown that:
“Corporate America and her oligarchs control the federal government” is incorrect and the proof is Trump.
So what “everybody” knows is wrong and Dave may just have a point.
I understand why you’re so passionate about this. But, do your research and follow deeper and better. I did my own very deep dives and when later I found Ghost’s pieces, they exactly comported with, and greatly filled in, what I’d found on my own. The predicates are sound.
BTW, I am not “antisemitic” if by that you mean wishing harm of any kind on Jewish people and that includes those living in the state of Israel. What THAT is (the State of Israel), is just as amoebic as labels like ‘fascist’ and ‘antisemite’ (those two have such varied meanings that they’re practically worthless and are used to dismiss and dispatch others’ persons or words in an emotional and inflammatory way. Don’t do it.
Rather than a diatribe and name-calling accusations, why not just engage in some back & forth debate with him on specific areas of disagreement, providing your supporting evidence?
You are mistaken if you think that I use the terms racist or antisemitism lightly like the left do.
Answer me this :
Would you call a priest or monk of the Catholic Church a religious “kook” with their white collar or shaved head?
Or a Muslim woman completely covered by her hijab, would you call her a kook?
Uninformed or misguided, maybe?
So, why did ghost call Orthodox Jews “kooks”?
One reason: prejudice
Has he or will he apologize ?
Or please tell me why he purposely uses data from antisemitic organizations like the UN to back up his opinions?
And he NEVER goes to Israeli sources to see another side!
Why????
He never quotes any Israeli sources only opposition sources. It’s not hard to get both sides but he never has both sides.
He provides only one side and that side is the side of Jew hating fucks.
How can I say this? Because I get both sides. One from him and one from Israel. It’s not hard, either.
I tell you this, ghost is wrong most of the time. He doesn’t know or he purposely ignores the facts.
His antisemitism is subtle most of the time. If I wasn’t I touch with Israelis and the truth I would miss it.
I believe he purposely leans against Israel. He may call himself MAGA but he is prejudice against Jews. Not just the Israeli government, which is open to criticism , but he more than hints at being against the people of Israel.
That’s akin to hating Americans because of their government.
It’s wrong and ghost is wrong.
That’s my opinion and we have been hashing over this for weeks and my opinion has just gotten stronger.
But I do appreciate your kind expression of concern.
Go to YouTube and watch Carolin Glick show. It’s a start.
Wasn't Dave Kushman the name of that QB hotshot in Jerry McGuire? Can't remember his first name. But it sure as hell was Kushman.
I’m not sure. I got my name from my parents.
Cush is mentioned in psalms by King David
Dear Ghost, I SO appreciate your history lessons and helping me, your reader, to discern between men (governments) and nations (peoples -image beares of the Almighty). Paul and Peter (in the Book of Acts)were deliberate, in their bringing the Gospel to the early church, to underscore the fact that they were preaching Jesus and NOT themselves -not men, but God.
Already in early Christianity, the Gospel was being mixed with paganism and idolatry and Paul addressed this numerous times in his letters. The first thing Satan does is to manipulate words, and our understanding. Mis-ascribing the name "Israel" , originally intended for a people, chosen by God, to refer to a "government", which you are educating us about to be VERY flawed and corrupt, (I think Isaiah's imagery is appropos, "a brood of vipers".) is, of course, a violation of the 2nd Commandment:
Deuteronomy 5:11 KJV
[11] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
We, as Christians, and 'political allies', have been propagandized in this mind war, and confounded by evildoers, to never question the geo-political entity know as "Israel". But there is so much more TRUTH to know about the real allies and enemies in this current war, the mind war.
It's time to get back to THE WORD:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV
[3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Full Armor Of God ALL. DAY. LONG.
GOD SPEED YOUR MISSION, GHOST!

Thank you Sal!!!
What a great word. Thank you.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼👆🏼✝️🕊
Absolutely! So well said!
As a Christian I must say that it was NOT my church that asserted that we must support the government of Israel, it was the US government through Presidents and Congress. I realized the difference a few years ago but did not have full understanding until Gaza. God truly does give us discernment even when we don’t yet understand it! Praise God and pray for the people who are suffering from this war fostered by men full of greed for riches and power. Thank you Ghost for giving us historical insight into this war of men.
Yes!
Few nights ago, my husband and I were in the kitchen. We were talking as I was making dinner and out if nowhere, my work cell phone, which was charging on the counter chirps "I am sorry, I didn't understand that. Please repeat." We looked at each other and he said "it's recording us " It PISSES me off.
Yes. Has happened to me too! I am ditching my iPhone on next phone purchase.
Heard a rumor that Starlink or some other E. Musk company might offer phones?
Just wondering: Is your mic on & do you use voice text or Siri? Mine are all off, but I’m wondering now…🤨
And just so you are aware... this has been going on since at least 2015. Not just iPhone, Android as well.
BB I am right there with you (and CP) that nothing is as it seems. I have a friend who often calls me worked up about the click bait of the day. All I can do is laugh and try to make him laugh too. Taking sides on their narratives is self defeating.
Amen GBOH: "Jesus, take the wheel. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry". The "Leaders" have been compromised in most institutions including (especially) religion.
Great Takes today y'all!
God Wins!
God Bless!!!
BB: Thank you for holding the line! It is so easy to cheer when a desired outcome is trumpeted, even if it occurs under dubious means. In other words, we too can justify the means by the promised ends and it never goes well when we do ("Patriot Act"). First Principles must be adhered to no matter - or they are not actually First.
AiA: I have an increasing respect for your Takes - thank you for all the hours you spend honing your expertise! That said - I don't trust polls - even if they confirm my biases.
GBPH: Please know that I have taken a personal accountability to pray for your safety, discernment, and wisdom! Consider all the ways that you might be attacked and expect the ones at the bottom of your list to be favored.
Amen and amen to: "American Christians are in a very dangerous place right now, spiritually, because they are worshipping men on earth, in Israel, in open defiance of everything Jesus said. It is blasphemy, because it is idolatry in its most perverse form. (Worshipping living men—not just statues or trees.)" And not just in Israel, btw. Like this form of "magic", "Christian Zionism" is relatively new - its oldest roots going back to the mid-1500's but it spike in popularity is less then 200 years old.

I will NEVER recognize Biden as a legitimate president nor anything else that is less than a criminal. In my view, because Biden is NOT the president, he can legally be arrested for seditious conspiracy and treason. But we must live through this BS movie because someone somewhere thinks it is better than alternative methods.
It's gaslighting like this that really pisses me off: "If that happens, Republican lawmakers who have branded Harris as Biden's "border czar"—a description seen by her supporters as inaccurate"
I don't know how people remain calm about this crap. It was Biden and Harris and the left who labeled her the "border czar" - an odd title choice.
The Lying Liars and the Lies they Tell. How do you tell if a politician or news anchor is lying? They open their mouth.
Still though. How do you all stay calm in the face of this garbage noise.
Among other things, you need to read [their] words carefully. For example your first quote:
"If that happens, Republican lawmakers who have branded Harris as Biden's "border czar"—a description seen by her supporters as inaccurate"
See the 'weasel words' in there? [They] emphatically do not say that the 'description' of 'border czar' is inaccurate. They say 'her supporters (see it as) inaccurate.' Huge difference. They hope you don't notice.
Once you realize it's all 'garbage noise' as you clearly do, it gets easier to dismiss it as drivel written by idiots for morons. I'd guess everyone here recalls Brandon appointing Camel-a$$ 'border czar' probably back in late 2021 or early 2022. [They] are trying to convince their moron readers that wasn't so. For those readers, there's little hope anyway, so not much loss.
Gregory, I’m not always calm but I stay sane because it is garbage noise. See Wild Bill. Don’t give up, stay the course, and look beyond the noise! It’s tough and confusing sometimes! Give it a 24-48 hour cycle, pay attention what President Trump really says and stay based with Badlands News Brief!😊❤️🇺🇸
Oh yes, *We* all know it's garbage but people like my parents eat it up as if it's the Right being bad guys again.
What we actually needed (past tense now) was a real Project Mahem (Fight Club) to destroy people's TV access so they would unplug from the Matrix. But since that didn't happen, NOW we have to slog through all this damn sewage until we can finally clean it up and have the promised land.
Just tiring.
I think there may quite a bit of beneficial mayhem happening out of our sight. But we can see its wake if we look. We’re here do do our parts, in courage, wisdom goodness; faith, hope and love. We hold together, some in the vanguard hack away the vines & brambles, some hold the lamp high, some read the map, compass in hand, some carry & serve sustenance & refreshment, some carry & tend the wounded, some preach & give encouragement, some just lighten our hearts & some carry up the rear, picking up stragglers.
Courage, dear, weary friend.
A few days ago I alluded to the fact, w/o Badlands real news updates on Israel/Ukraine/etc... shenanigans, I’d have no real news at all----bet I’m not alone in that assessment!?! Keep the even gross and gore details coming---by now you better be strong enough to take it!?! God Bless!!!
If you all have not read the Book by Arthur Koestler: "The Thirteenth Tribe" to Understand links between Israel, Ukraine, and the Khazar's, you should read it. It will help a Lot to understand what is going on in those places, and the People Involved with Jewish Mysticism (read: magic) as discussed by GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
"Plausible deniability, lessons learned, and a focus on the future ruled the two bureaucrats’ response under oath."
This is the standard response whenever bureaucrats are caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Remember what happened after the C19 response disaster finally was widely accepted? "Time to forgive and forget, we did the best we could; let's move on."
So long as incompetence is tolerated rather than punished, it will not end. It will only get worse.
I hope that Trump's presidency will indeed be 'a term of retribution.' All who have been incompetent or worse, malevolent need to pay for their misdeeds. No more 'failing up.' You fail, you fired -- or worse.
I think incompetence may at present be part of the official job description. Dishonesty too. Bad character, perversion, low but cunning IQ; weakness for perks preferred. Goes for all areas of our administrative hiring including the hospital/ med high-ups.
* sigh *
Incompetence is not officially part of the description, but the incentives once hired reward incompetence and 'going with the flow' while disincentivizing independent thought and performance-based evaluation.
From there, the result is inevitable, and we are seeing it on full display.
One of Obama's law professors at Chicago said Obama was not very bright, but he was incredibly clever. Perfect match for government.
Ha ha. Exactly. Although they may suss them out for ambition, weak character & malleability. The things one senses. :))
Revisiting…I am unable to “like” posts — substack issue? — Anyway, I was by no means making light of your great comm. Just trying to add some levity to this dark & frustrating status quo. Change is a coming but fortitude & 🙏🏼Are needed.
Btw…Officially stamping “❤️“ on all your excellent contributions in perpetuity.
~ D
P.S. the like ❤️ works in the activity section showing replies though. 🤷🏻♀️
"Like" stopped working for me a while back, several weeks.
Featherjourney suggested maybe I should update my browser. I'm at rev 81 and it's now 127. Other sites (x.com for instance) don't work either which so far is a minor annoyance (the only time I go to x is when someone links to a photo or post there).
And all of this would be quite funny, were it not so serious. 💖 back at 'ya!
— just have apple phone & pad. I use the site, not the APP. I never update devices & don’t use the cloud. Potential & actual prying settings are off.
Baffling is that it happened during that electromagnetic storm thing a few months ago. Also lost some home outlet use at the same time (It’s not at the breaker). Others reported at the time that they couldn’t “like” comms anymore.
Curiously, I discovered I can register “likes” to comments in my activity feed & other’s notes. I think it may be a substack glitch…? 🤷🏻♀️
Haven’t found a way to inform Substack of this — Have you?
Thanks, btw!!
No cell phone here, except a flip phone we only turn on occasionally, like when we travel. I'm using my old Lenovo think pad, with Firefox browser. Only use the site, no apps run on flip phones (one of the reason we got rid of a cheap 'Motorola' smart phone and got the flip phone. No updates, no apps, few bugs.
Home outlets: if they are the GFCI or AFCI type, the electronics might have been damaged. (These are the types with the 'reset' button.) If damaged, even when you press 'reset' they might not work again and need to be replaced.
No idea how to send Badlands or Substack a PM. Someone else might know. 💖
Thank you so much!
Sure, glad to help. That's what friends are for 💖
Israel isn’t a human government. Israel is the human descendants of Abraham via Isaac. Their only true leader, based on the Old Testament is God. No human election will change God’s mind. He is their King whether they recognize Him or not.
Ordinary, I sure appreciate where you’re coming from, but the dispensationalism and false, or deceived, teachers have been abusing Scripture since the Scofield Study Bible was seeded into US churches. It is a theoretical theological system which has been cleverly and cunningly designed to mislead the faithful, establishing false premises, recasting the entirety of His Word (especially prophetic passages and covenants) so that everything is understood through that distorting lens.
So, for decades, earnest & faithful believers think it is historic Christian, Biblical teaching and many misconceptions re eschatology, Christians and Jews, the State of Israel, geopolitics and touching on the very nature of God and the Gospel. It’s presented as God’s Truth. It is not.
Do the research, carefully read the history and your Bible through a clear and prayerful lens. What a shocking and grievous thing has been done to us!
Can you give us some examples? Not a challenge, just curious. Also some sources to start? I understand that there are more books that are not included in the King James Version. Thank you.
It’s not a different Bible. but a widely held system of Biblical interpretation taught by CI Scofield and studied & taught using his vast notes & other’s writings in most EV churches starting in 1917, mainly (which coincides by design with the Balfour declaration) . It’s a re-thinking of God’s plan, especially as regards Israel (zionist and ancient, conflated) and it’s huge today, especially since statehood in 1948. Most churches don’t even know it’s a devised system. Rather than aberrant, they assume it’s basic Biblical truth.
I wrote a tome to you on this, but I realized you were thinking I was speaking about a different BIBLE, or book of the Bible, like the Apocrypha, which it is not.
I’d written a tome on the topic. If you want me (oops! Edit here) …I was going to write I could sent it if you want me to, but I lost it when I copied to save in my notes but was shocked to find I’d lost it. (Floating in my texting thumb somewhere😂 Oh well!
Very odd commentary which includes an assumption about my Biblical world view.
Ordinary,
Please accept my apology! I re-read your post and I would agree with you. I believe I mistook your meaning and intent. The problem is that one never knows whether “Israel” refers to the state or to the Jewish people today or to God’s People of the OT & NT, or believers in Christ, Messiah, who acknowledge and belong to God. It’s a confusing thing, and often equivocated too, as we see so much today, especially in geopolitics, church & society and Biblical Eschatogogy & prophesy.
Thanks for your reply & Blessings!
I agree as to the confusion. It isn’t easy to discern the events today. I pray often about the events of this world. I believe that there is an overarching plan, but can’t pretend to understand it.
☺️ I know!! We pray. We hope & trust & love. We’re all just ordinary rebels (perfect monicker!)

Ashe nailed the so-called investigation into the attempted assassination, ‘The greatest victim of bureaucratic dysfunction is public trust.’👏
Venezuela evidently got the help from the globalists’ best tool, the CIA. They used Dominion and we were surprised Maduro ‘won’? The interesting thing about this is some more people illegally entering the US…under Biden/Harris administration. The Fearless Tiger has good advice, ‘This is a trial run. Exercise discernment.’ Here we go again.
Hmm…Rosenstein representing one of Israel’s fascist corporate partners…. The west’s intelligence agencies have much to explain, then face justice.
Ghost’s coverage of the evil in Israeli military is scary, ‘…between military men like Yoav Gallant and Jewish Mystics like Itamar Ben-Gvir—and the crux of the issue is... the right to brutally rape male prisoners?’ 🙏🙏
Assassinations and censorship, election fraud and rape expose what a world does once they abandon our Creator! God bless the awakening. 🙏🙏

Pegasus. Eric Prince talks about it here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shawn-ryan-show/id1492492083?i=1000663665258) near the end. Claims Pegasus developer works for Prince’s Unplugged phone service. Claims developer cut ties with Pegasus when Israeli Intelligence got involved. Caveat emptor.
tl;dr
“Jesus, take the wheel.”
