The Torch Report

TR 685 - Have We Been Betrayed By Trump?

Luke Throop — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:00:47 GMT

Time flies.

It has been exactly one year and one day since I last posted a Torch Report. I have to admit, my little hiatus lasted far longer than intended, but the extended time away from the endless propaganda and maddening headlines has been good for the soul.

Rather than try to recap the bazillion-and-one “super important” events that have come and gone, or chase the various squirrels of conspiracy, today I’m going to cut straight to the chase: Personally, I feel utterly betrayed by Donald Trump.

And I know I’m not alone.

As one friend put it, “What in the hell happened to Trump?” As in, whatever happened to draining the swamp, no more wars, and putting America First?

Another friend recently hit me with this doozy: “So, Luke, how do you feel about Trump totally dividing his base and destroying the MAGA movement?”

Ouch. Honestly, it’s not an easy answer.

Friends, I’ve sat down to write many times over the last year. I’ve actually written several reports that addressed the gradual, disturbing drift I’ve been observing during Trump’s second term, but in the end, I didn’t have the heart to publish them.

Why not publish them?

Well, because there was an even more disturbing trend that seemed to be running parallel among many of my fellow patriots. Whereas in recent years most of the MAGA crowd held a sharp skepticism toward all things government, I began to see a disheveling sort of blind allegiance build around Trump’s ever evolving agenda.

In essence, whatever Trump said was “good” was good, and whatever Trump said was “bad” was bad. Critical thinking seemed to be suspended, or worse, usurped by sycophancy. Suddenly, the only measure of one’s patriotism was whether or not you accepted and agreed with whatever Trump was currently pushing.

Thus, we’ve stumbled into a twilight zone, wherein anyone who voted to Make America Great Again is now just expected to go along with whatever Trump says.

Examples abound.

We were expected to believe Trump when he farcically claimed the Epstein files were nothing more than a “democrat hoax.” We were expected to accept that Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” was a fiscal masterpiece, even though it actually increases government spending, adds trillions to the deficit, and didn’t do a damn thing to curb any of the rampant fraud and reckless spending uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency. We were expected to support the sudden regime change in Venezuela.

Unfortunately, rather than remain skeptical and ask questions, it appears the critical thinking of most conservatives has simply been swept away in the euphoria of all the so-called “winning.” Simultaneously, it appears that loyalty to Trump and his narrative has slowly become the only benchmark for determining what’s right and wrong.

If Trump says it’s right, then it’s right.

If Trump says it’s wrong, then it’s wrong.

Apparently only Donald Trump knows what is best for America.

We are expected to believe that his every action serves only to advance American interests—even if it seems impossible to comprehend his plan.

Horseshit.

Some people believe it, but I certainly don’t.

To illustrate this growing divide in the ranks, one night I asked a group of patriots why we were all of the sudden running military operations in Venezuela, instead of say, addressing the well-documented government corruption right here at home. They looked at me like I was an apostate, which confirmed my suspicion that any dissent to Trump’s agenda was now considered taboo. Unfortunately, if you disagreed with any of Trump’s decision-making, you were no longer considered a patriot.

Quite disturbingly, blind allegiance now seemed expected in many MAGA circles.

All of this disgusted me, and it still sits heavy on my heart.

That’s ultimately why I failed to publish the previously written reports. I knew that most of the audience would balk and revolt against my skepticism of some of Trump’s decisions. I knew that I could not compete with the cult of personality and clever propaganda that was emanating out of the White House. So, rather than rock the boat, damage relationships, and cause division, I felt it was better to remain silent.

At the time, it seemed wiser to sit back and see how things played out. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe my friends were right. Maybe Trump was making the best decisions. Maybe he actually was advancing the America First agenda, even in Venezuela, despite my growing doubts and the mounting evidence to the contrary.

Maybe.

Then we went to war with Iran. Now, in just over a month, 365 service members have been wounded (including Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force casualties), and 13 Americans have been killed in action. Many more people have been killed throughout the region, including hundreds of children and thousands of innocent civilians.

We are told that this is all necessary and good—and we are expected to believe it.

But wait a minute here: why are we at war with Iran in the first place? Donald Trump campaigned heavily on a promise of “no new wars” and ending the “endless wars.”

What we are witnessing is the exact opposite of what he said he would do.

That’s a massive shift, so what is the justification for this war?

Does it matter that the Trump administration still can’t get their story straight?

More importantly, how do you think this is all going to play out? Do you think the Iranians are just going to give up? What are the chances that a jihadi terrorist cell seeks revenge on American soil? Do you honestly think Trump’s rhetoric is going to bring greater peace? Or, do you think it’s more likely to escalate retaliation?

For context, let’s consider Trump’s ever-so-inspiring Easter Sunday message:

Bomb power plants and bridges? Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards?

Personally, I’m not impressed. That doesn’t strike me as particularly presidential, even by Trump’s fairly low standard, nor does it seem appropriate given the sanctity of the day. Indeed, I’d tend to agree with Tucker Carlson’s critical take on this one:

“You’re tweeting the F-word on Easter morning promising the murder of civilians? This is vile. This is evil. On every level. A promise to use US military to destroy civilian infrastructure that people use every day? That is a war crime. A moral crime. Innocent people will die. That is unacceptable. It is immoral. It can never be justified.”

Tucker created a 2-hour YouTube video titled Trump’s Desecration of Easter and a Warning to Christians Everywhere, and he goes on to suggest the unthinkable:

“Desecrating Easter was the first step toward nuclear war.”

Obviously I hope he’s wrong, but then again, if you start connecting the dots…

Let’s zoom out.

Why do I feel betrayed by Trump?

I voted for him three times. I was a Trump-endorsed delegate to the Republican National Convention. I’ve been a fan of much of what he has done, and I’ve been content to “agree to disagree” whenever I’ve had a difference of opinion.

In short, the good has far outweighed the bad—until things started to change.

When Trump declared that the Epstein documents were a Democrat hoax, it was a massive red flag for me. While campaigning for re-election, Trump had suggested that he would release the documents, presumably because holding high ranking pedophiles accountable for their predatory child sex trafficking was a critical issue for the vast majority of his base. Go figure. But then he flipped the script.

Why is anyone even talking about this Democrat hoax anyway? Idiots.

Much to the chagrin of millions, there hasn’t been a single person arrested. There has been zero accountability for documented crimes against children. We’ve been told to look the other way and stop bringing it up—and again, we’re expected to play along.

That same story holds true for the documented fraud during the stolen 2020 election, the orchestrated fedsurrection on J6, the various crimes against humanity perpetrated during covid, and so on. There is a pattern here that is plain to see: what is important to the American people, i.e. accountability for documented crimes and sticking to campaign promises, is clearly not what is most important to Donald Trump.

Thus, rather than prioritizing election integrity, criminal accountability, eliminating gross amounts of already exposed government fraud, or imposing any sort of fiscal restraint—all of which are absolutely critical to Making America Great Again—Trump has instead made a steady march toward increasingly inexplicable actions that do nothing to address these massively important issues.

Now, am I wrong for pointing this out?

“Oh but Luke, what about the border security? What about rounding up all the gangbangers? What about Trump’s impressive list of accomplishments? Surely you cannot deny all of that!”

HERE’S THE THING: I am not denying that Trump has accomplished many things.

I am not saying that everything Trump has done is bad, or that his every decision is wrong. I am not suggesting that Trump is inherently evil, nor am I suggesting that he has intentionally deceived us—though at this point, that is an open question.

However, just as it is fair to acknowledge his many accomplishments, it is also fair to acknowledge that some things don’t add up, is it not?

When Trump campaigned so heavily on “no new wars,” I took him at his word. Clearly he has broken his word. In my mind, sending the U.S. military into Venezuela for a rapid regime change and quick capture of their oil reserves was the first blow. We were told that this was necessary to stop the flow of drugs into America, but I believe that is an insult to the intelligence of any clear minded person.

Then, when Trump started sending American troops to die in Iran and told us that it was for our own good, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Why in the hell are we going to war with Iran when we have so many major issues right here at home?

At first, Trump tried to justify this war by claiming that Iran was an “imminent threat” and we needed to destroy their nuclear capabilities. Evidently he had forgotten that just last summer, in July 2025, he was taking a victory lap and bragging that his administration had already “completely destroyed” Iran’s nuclear sites.

FACT:

So much for the imminent threat justification, right? And, just in case there was any doubt, let’s not forget what Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, recently told congress in her 2026 Annual Threat Assessment (March 18, 2026):

“As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement.”

It seems to me like Trump and Gabbard are on the same page—and that Iran did not pose any sort of “imminent threat” to America. Perhaps that’s why the story changed.

Now we are being told, and expected to believe, this war is really all about peace— that all of this bombing and destruction is to ensure “freedom” for the Iranian people:

Again, I’m not buying it.

Besides, what about freedom for Americans?

You know, freedom from a corrupt, overbearing, and bloated bureaucracy? Freedom from the burden of billions upon billions of dollars in wasteful spending and government fraud? Freedom from the tyranny of stolen elections? Freedom from the relentless propaganda and gaslighting that is tearing apart our country?

What about putting American First?

What’s happening right now is nothing of the sort. In fact, it’s just more of the same. It’s endless wars and regime changes. It’s wars for oil and geopolitical dominance.

Meanwhile, our own beloved Republic is rotten to the core.

The corruption continues unabated, undaunted, and unphased by Trump’s 2nd term.

It makes me want to puke, almost as much as the day I watched Trump praising the CEO of Pfizer, in the White House no less, calling him “one of the great, great people.”

No mention of Pfizer’s toxic injections killing and maiming millions of people, the subsequent turbo cancers, myocarditis, or any of that nonsense. Just raw praise for the man who helped make Operation Warp Speed one of Trump’s greatest achievements.

Please note that Trump is still proud of pushing these injections, recently calling them “one of the greatest achievements ever,” even as they continue to kill people.

Seems kind of evil to me. Maybe there was a reason Trump refused to put his hand on the Bible during his swearing in after all? Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it?

Eh… I’m sure that’s all just a coincidence.

Until next time…

RESIST WE MUST!!!

TR 684 - On the Lesson of Letting Go

Luke Throop — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 18:45:47 GMT

Life is interesting.

Before I begin, I’d like to apologize to the friends, family, and long-time subscribers who have so faithfully encouraged, supported, and followed along with me on this four-year learning journey. Facts being what they are, life has not allowed adequate time for me to crank out proper daily reports, and for that I’m sorry.

This is something that I’ve been struggling with.

Whereas in the past, I was able to spend four to six hours a day reading and researching, then writing and recording, that is a luxury I no longer have.

It is what it is, and I’m sure many in the audience can relate.

When I was a younger man, I used to wish there were 30 hours in a day and 10 days in a week—operating on the false assumption that if that were the case, I should be able to accomplish at least half the projects I had on my plate. The wiser perspective came slow, and it came in the form of a question.

True or false: there is always enough time?

The answer, no matter how I wrangled with it, was invariably true. There is only time and what we make of it. Wishing for more time was a splendid waste of mental and emotional energy that inevitably generated stress and ate at my ability to function.

Next came the lesson of letting go, and that has proven to be the most difficult lesson of all. Letting go comes in many forms, and it is widely applicable to everything in life, from the big and monumental changes to the little things that clutter up daily living.

This time last year, I was working in radio as a news director for five local stations. I’d also been running an hour-long weekend show for over a year at that point. One memory I recall, with fondness, was recording the Torch Report Weekend Review in my car at a pull-out alongside the highway in central Washington, before zipping back to the arena to watch my daughter compete in an equestrian event.

My days were long, with morning news hitting the wire by 5 a.m. and the many meetings that I was assigned to cover often going to 9 p.m. This schedule ultimately proved to be incompatible with raising a family, and I knew I had to let go.

To top it off, I was getting paid a paltry $2,000 a month for the effort, which was a far cry from a living wage. I’d originally justified this as a sort of initiation, a putting in my time, proving my commitment, and showcasing my talent, with the expectation that sowing these seeds would yield a fun and fruitful career in radio.

In reality, looking back on the experience, I was grossly under paid and way over-worked. It wasn’t meant to be. I had to let go and move on—and that was sad.

People in the local area had come to appreciate hearing my voice. Everyone said I did a great job and they missed the show. In other words, I was letting people down by letting go of radio, but in my heart I still knew it was the best thing for my family.

I was grateful for the experience, the taste of radio, and I may still pursue this path once the nest is empty. As fate would have it, freeing up my schedule allowed for more time and experience in the political arena. I was honored to be elected as a state and national delegate, and I got to make several trips to Washington DC to bump elbows and engage with panels of politically ambitious movers and shakers.

For the record, I am not a politically ambitious mover and shaker.

I had very reluctantly stepped into the political arena, not seeking status or an office for myself, but to better understand the process and how the system worked. I sought to learn how local uproar might be pushed through to political impact. At that point I had attended hundreds of meetings, via news reporting, at the city and county level, and even a handful of national meetings I was invited to attend.

Through all of this, my eyes were opened to the vast complexity of problems that beset us. Citizen activists were at a significant disadvantage, by design. The cogs of the political wheel were specifically calibrated to ground down any opposition to the status quo. It was just as I had always expected: the entrenched two-party establishment didn’t give a damn about the peasants.

All they cared about was maintaining and gaining more power and control.

Hence, the vexing situation.

With a nod to the current political circus, I’d point out that despite all the “winning” there is still essentially zero accountability for the many heinous crimes that have been perpetrated against the American people. Still, the majority of patriots have been pacified by the election of Donald Trump. Most conservatives are too busy trying to keep up with the break-neck speed of each passing news cycle to keep the bigger picture in mind — and the enemy knows this.

It disgusts me to hear conservative pundits squawking about trivial matters, always chasing the latest “news” the way a dog chases a bone. When I started the Torch Report, it was never my intention to regurgitate what everyone else was talking about. Indeed, my aim was just the opposite: to expose the bigger issues that were being ignored, like the Great Reset, toxic injections, commie infiltration, et cetera.

Unfortunately, due to certain irrevokable elements of human nature, choosing to ignore what the majority of people were talking about translated into painfully slow growth. The issues I’ve brought to light have been “fringe” in nature — like Algorithmic Social Interventions and mind control, for example — though they are imminently more important than the dominant narratives. On top of that, much of what I’ve had to say has been throttled and censored, because, well, I’ve stubbornly insisted on addressing the issues that don’t play well with the algorithms.

If one were to ask me at the outset of this project, writing on Substack and publishing a daily podcast, I would have anticipated the audience would be much larger, and that the efforts four years in would be adequately compensating the time invested.

That is not the case.

Thus, as life would have it, I’ve had to invest myself in more fruitful endeavors in order to make ends meet. And so it is, I’ve not had the time to continue cranking out reports at pace — which as I’ve said, is something I’m struggling with.

Let’s zoom out.

I am not naive enough to believe that I can change the whole world. My ego is not big enough to think that my meager musings are going to change the course of history. My intention, in contrast, has always been to share what I was learning, to shine light on counter-narrative perspectives, in a way that might propagate the tiniest of ripples in the public psyche. My desire has been to stimulate curiosity and conversation.

This is an extension of my overarching intent to elevate awareness, which has been the driving factor in my life for much longer than all the political stuff.

Being somewhat detached from the news and commentary for the last couple of months, while working away day after day to make my own little world go round, I suppose some part of me has regressed to this higher purpose. While I’ve addressed the various angles of elevating awareness in many prior reports, and maintain that the elevation of awareness at the individual level is the most essential element of any winning political strategy, in the absence of daily immersion, I felt a disconnect.

To be brutally honest, nobody really misses my daily reports. If I were abducted by aliens, everything would continue moving along just as it always has. I am but a spec in the cosmos, and this is a fact that I am quite comfortable with. The Torch Report, though I’ve poured my heart and soul into it, is ultimately inconsequential.

The question I’ve pondered this morning is this: do I need to let go?

If I cannot do it justice, if it’s not paying the bills, is all this effort to create daily reports just a grand exercise of ego? Do I think my perspective is really that important? Am I serving the people, or am I serving myself in all of this?

My heart has always been a heart of service. I’ve served every community I’ve ever lived in, in one way or another. In some places I’ve been Pastor Luke, tending to the spiritual needs of the flock. In other places I’ve been hailed as a healing guru — “Guru Luke” as one doctor claimed — teaching the ancient secrets of yoga and meditation to the community.

In each of these modes, my focus was always to lift people up, to help them heal, grow, and thrive in life, regardless of their circumstance. It has been much the same in the political arena too, albeit with a different bent. My purpose in fanning the flames of the liberty movement has been to lift people out of oppression, by elevating awareness to the stranglehold of tyrannical government regulations.

Much like guiding people in prayer and study, similar to teaching people how to heal mind, body, and soul, this political elevation of awareness always involved presenting practical solutions to real world problems. The effort was born of necessity, and seeing a need for both inspiration and strategy, I set my mind to task.

But that was then, and this is now.

Much like the passing of seasons, like letting go of the church and the labels that came with it, like letting go of the yoga studio and the labels that came with that, I am faced with the reality of similar circumstances, where it feels like life is taking me in a different direction. No longer am I a radio host, I’ve had to let go.

Time constraints have forced me to let go of producing daily reports and podcasts.

Has the time come to let go of the Torch Report?

I squirm at the thought of it.

It makes me sad to think about.

I don’t want to let go, that’s for sure.

What I want is for this effort to be meaningful and bear fruit — but in the absence of such fruit, I must contend with reality. Wishful thinking doesn’t provide much consolation. Like my grandma always said:

“You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster.”

Rooted in the effort to serve my local community — “Goooood morning Goldendale!” — now I wonder if this crazy train has run its course. Or, perhaps the train needs to pull into a new station and pick up some more people. I’m not sure, that’s the point.

What I do know, is that for the immediate future, things cannot continue running as they have. There’s not enough steam in the engine or time in the day.

Thems the facts Jack.

Friends, thank you for hearing me out. I had to get that off my chest. I don’t know what the future holds, but I believe the future is bright. For all the painful lessons of letting go that life has served, the greatest take away is that there’s always something more in store—but we have to be brave enough to let go before we can embrace it.

We have to be willing to enter the unknown.

That’s where the mystery unfolds.

For now, I will write as time allows, continue to focus on the bigger picture, and strive to keep the spirit of resistance alive. As always, remember: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 683 - How to Stop the Climate Cult from Blocking Out the Sun

Luke Throop — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 18:30:46 GMT

This will be fun.

Today I would like to make up a new religion.

I mean, why not? People have been making up religions since the dawn of time, right? There is a clear historical precedent, as every cult inherently builds their own wacky belief system, fabricating their twisted delusion out of little more than thin air and wild imagination. In that spirit, let’s proceed with a bit of humor.

Imagine, if you will, that in some obscure corner of the internet a meme popped up, suggesting that round rubber tires are a divinely inspired gift from God. Furthermore, the source of this story cites studies, anecdotal evidence, and divine revelation as proof that burning round rubber tires is pleasing to God.

But burning round rubber tires is more than just a pleasing sacrifice to God. According to the lore, these gifts from God soak up evil spirits as they roll along, generously transporting from one magical place to the next.

The tires sacrifice themselves to protect us from the evil spirits, and in doing so, they get degraded over time. Once their protective shield has been sufficiently worn down, God has directed his followers to burn the round rubber tires in a splendid display of pyro-spiritual worship. Doing so brings a bounty of blessings for the true believers.

Being devout means gathering as many sacrificial tires as possible, stacking them high, soaking them in gasoline, and lighting the refiner’s fire. The thick black plumes are proof that the tires have absorbed many evil spirits, and that these dark forces are now making their way to final judgment before the throne of God himself.

Now, the sacrificial season is upon us.

The pyre has been lit.

The beautiful plumes of thick black smoke beckon believers from all around to gather in celebration of this divine ritual. Praise be to God for cleansing us of the evil spirits!

And then the cops show up.

Some pagan neighbor, confused and lost in the deceptions of the enemy, called in the fire. They told the police we were burning a huge stack of tires. They complained that the air had become toxic, not realizing the odor was the release of these evil spirits.

What’s a believer to do?!

The cops are not believers. They’ve never read the sacred texts. They don’t understand the spiritual battle that is waging all around them. Instead, they insist on putting out the fire and writing a big fat ticket for air pollution. Against every protest, this heavenly mandated spiritual sacrifice, this releasing of evil spirits by the sacrificial burning of round rubber tires is abruptly ended by blind worldly ambitions.

Lord forgive them for their transgressions!

Let’s zoom out.

That hypothetical thought experiment was meant to illustrate the fact that human beings will believe damn near anything.

The Climate Cult believes that blocking out the sun will save the planet.

They believe that if they don’t block out the sun soon, the whole of humanity will suffer in the hellish inferno of a burning planet caused my man made climate change.

They decided, through many decades of research and experimentation, that the quickest and most economical way to block out the sun is to spray reflective chemicals in the sky. They have set about forming more clouds and geoengineering these clouds to be more reflective. They’ve even been playing with nanoparticles.

Unlike the fictitious religion of burning round rubber tires, everything I’ve just said about the Climate Cult is irrefutably true and substantiated by empirical evidence.

Here are some more current articles on this idiotic idea of blocking out the sun:

With that stage set, let’s consider the implications in greater detail.

First, I want to emphasize the religious nature of climate hysteria. Those who adhere to the farcical belief of anthropogenic climate change and man-made global warming believe that we are in an existential crisis. They believe this just as much as a Baptist believes the Bible, but with even greater conviction and zeal.

Evidence of this fact is all around us.

Second, when it comes to convincing someone that their religion is a bogus story that’s been made up to control them, true believers are not easily swayed. In fact, the most devout followers will reflexively reject logic and inherently become hostile towards those who seek to liberate their minds from such delusions.

This pattern is predictable.

Thus, attempting to explain to the climate crazies that blocking out the sun is a very, very bad idea, inevitably falls upon deaf ears. They are not going to listen to the thousands of PhDs and Nobel Prize scientists who have painstakingly demolished their distorted world view—so they sure as hell are not going to listen to the ignorant peasants protesting their insane sun-blocking, chemical spraying schemes.

The third thing I’d point out, is that this fanatical climate cult is operating on a moral imperative. Much like the Jehovah Witnesses, Latter Day Saints, and Christians in general believe they have a divine directive to spread their beliefs, so too do the radical environmentalists believe they must indoctrinate and assimilate the masses.

Climate deniers are blasphemers. They are blinded by their ignorance. They speak lies and spread misinformation, and therefore, they are a threat to the whole of humanity.

Hence, the moral imperative to spread the truth about the climate crisis, while simultaneously working with religious fervor to block out the sun. Nonbelievers will never understand why such drastic measures are an absolute necessity, which is why they must be converted or controlled.

One must realize, that through their eyes, they are trying to save us from ourselves.

Sound familiar?

When it comes to raising public awareness about the very real efforts being made to block out the sun, this is what we are up against—but it’s more than just that.

The Climate Cult has deeply embedded themselves within the media, academia, and government institutions. The breadth of their influence, depth of the funding, and sincerity of their collective convictions should never be underestimated.

But on top of all of that, these fanatics have successfully leveraged these positions of power to capture a large portion of the public psyche. As you well know, they’ve been hard at work for decades convincing the masses their cultish story is true.

As a result, a great percentage of the population has passively accepted their narrative. Many well-meaning and otherwise normal people have been infected with the toxic environmental ideology. Though these normies may not explicitly be on board with blocking out the sun, they implicitly accept the need to save the planet.

This is the target audience.

Like the millions of liberals who are slowly waking up to just how batshit crazy the radical Left has become, we need to fan the flames of liberation by pushing this scheme to block out the sun into the center of public discourse.

We need to push the discussion of chemtrails into the light of day.

Pulling from the facts that were documented in yesterday’s report, I’d like to quickly recap, in simplest terms, exactly what’s happening. The logic looks like this:

The science of making clouds has been around for almost a hundred years.
Making more clouds that are brighter and more reflective cools the planet.
Cooling the planet with more clouds requires spraying chemicals in the sky.

It’s not a difficult concept to grasp — we just need to become comfortable saying it. Furthermore, we need to become comfortable explaining that there are a lot of crazy people in the world who believe that blocking out the sun will save the planet.

If that statement evokes a blank stare, you might be talking with a bonafide climate crazy. If it causes a person to pause long enough to think it through, you’ve got your foot in the door. Is blocking out the sun really going to save the planet?

Doesn’t the sun give life to the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees?

Isn’t the sun essential for life on earth to function?

Can you imagine what would happen if humanity was plunged into darkness by a wild geoengineering nanoparticle experiment gone wrong?

And say… have you happened to notice all those strange lines in the sky?

The need for tactical conversations is critical.

To build the level of public support needed to legislate against chemtrails, we need to start the conversation not talking about chemtrails. That conversation comes later.

In fact, there are several contingent conversations that need to be had.

With a hat-tip to the comment on yesterday’s post from “Forced Subscriber,” we need to consider the possibility that whatever they are spraying in the sky might not exclusively serve to block out the sun by geoengineering more reflective clouds.

In reality, if left unchecked, whoever is spraying our skies could be spraying us with whatever the hell they want. The possibilities are endless, especially when you consider they’ve openly admitted to exploring the use of “engineered nanoparticles.”

My mind darts to previous reports about the unbelievable sounding space-based weapons systems used for “mood management and mind control” (per the congressional record), as well as the neurostrike brain weapons developed by the CCP.

Clearly the global cabal is hellbent on controlling us all, and if it were possible to spray chemicals that would subdue and dumb down the population, I don’t think for a second they’d hesitate to do so. It’s quite possible they already are.

If you think about the ill-effects of putting fluoride in drinking water and lowering the public IQ—which is currently, and finally, being exposed and opposed by informed citizens across the country—then it’s not much of a stretch to consider the use of spraying chemicals in the sky for a similar purpose.

I’m sure you get the point.

What I’d like to emphasize in closing, is that while the political theater keeps the general public enthralled, the enemies of humanity are hard at work advancing their various causes. They’ve been at it for more than a century, and though Donald Trump represents significant pushback from We The People, the “secret cabal” of global elites are not going to be so easily defeated.

They operate in the shadows, wielding an unimaginable degree of power and influence. They have a vast network of NGOs working in cahoots with governments all around the world, and they have billions of useful idiots convinced that this unholy alliance of public-private partnerships is working for the greater good.

The Climate Cult may have been rattled, but they are still running strong.

Collectivists are still working night and day around the globe to assimilate the masses into the collective hive-mind. While patriots might rightly bask in the glory of all the current winning, we’d be wise to keep our eyes on the prize, defending our personal liberties and constitutional principles while tackling the insidious plot to block out the sun and other anti-human shenanigans head on.

We’ve got a helluva lot of work to do to defend ourselves from the advancing crazies. It will be a never ending task. Eternal vigilance is in order, and as always:

RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 682 - Presenting Irrefutable Proof that Chemtrails are Poisoning Our Skies

Luke Throop — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 18:30:49 GMT

It’s been a blur.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. But, as promised, I’ve continued to dig into the complexities of weather modification. There is a long and documented history of government research and funding of weather modification techniques that dates back to at least the 1940s.

To provide just one of many tangible examples, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation took an explicit interest in weather modification back in 1947. Shortly thereafter, the Bureau funded Project Skywater in order to develop “large field experiments and programs to test the practical application of seeding technology.”

From their own archives:

“Project Skywater complemented the general research program already initiated by the National Science Foundation as well as the specific weather programs studying hurricanes at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and fog dispersal at the departments of Defense and Transportation.”

I’m dropping that link straight out of the gate to negate any accusations that government weather modification is some sort of crackpot conspiracy.

Clearly that’s not the case.

It is a 100% proven and irrefutable fact that cloud seeding and other weather modification programs have been being deployed for decades, and we’d all be wise to wrestle with the implications. To drive home the legitimacy of this issue before moving forward, please consider these additional sources, which further substantiate just how mainstream and extensive weather modification programs have become:

Again, we must confront the fact that the science of “cloud seeding” is legit, and that this technology has been being used for much longer than people realize.

But does that mean that conspiracies about “chemtrails” are real?

We’re not there yet.

Setting aside the fact that the government is trying to play God, many useful idiots will make the case that all of this weather modification is entirely benign. You see, the government is just trying to help the farmers and all of this spraying stuff into the atmosphere to change weather patterns is really for the greater good—honest.

It’s always for the greater good, isn’t it?

That said, given the cold, hard fact that weather modification is a thing, I’d like to turn our attention to the fanatical environmentalists who are trying to block out the sun—but first, let’s connect a few rudimentary dots to prime the logical mind:

Cloud seeding forms clouds, duh.
Clouds block out the sun by reflecting sunlight.
Some people are trying to block out the sun to “save the planet.”

With that in mind, it’s not that much of a stretch to think that the radical environmental cult of today might be using these tried and true techniques of weather modification to advance their own insane Net Zero agenda, is it?

Quick story.

I’m outside every day. I live out in the country with a panoramic view. I look at the sky a lot. Sometime last summer, I started noticing a lot of strange lines in the sky, and these strange lines were definitely NOT some new flight pattern.

The lines were so strange, I started taking pictures of them:

As I started paying attention, I noticed there were often two planes flying a pattern making parallel lines, then they circle back and make a big crisscross in the sky. Strange indeed. Stranger still, the lines seemed to disperse in a weird sort of way.

These certainly did not look like normal clouds, and they seemed much lower and lingered much longer than the typical contrails left by commercial flights:

Now then, I have to tell you, I’ve met a lot of people who have been all over the “chemtrails” issue for a long time. I’ve always taken it with a grain of salt—not dismissing the possibility of someone spraying chemicals in the sky, but not really knowing what to do with it.

While talking about chemtrails is a hip and important topic in some circles, it’s a subject that gets zero traction and plenty of ridicule in others.

Regardless, I was definitely watching planes flying in repetitive patterns, making strange lines in the sky. What’s more, there was quite often—but not always—about a two-day delay before the weather would change. The temperature would drop, the clouds would roll in, the wind would pick up, and many times it would rain.

I mentioned this pattern to a close friend, and he made the same observations.

So, the question became inevitable: what the hell is going on up there?

As alluded to in several recent reports, I believe these strange lines in the sky are most likely related to experiments that are currently being conducted to block out the sun in my local area—and believe me, I know just how ridiculous that sounds!

That’s why this report has been slow in the making. In order to do it right, I had to spend the time digging in and not just chasing rabbits down the rabbit hole.

IF these experiments are happening, there HAS to be proof.

It’s not enough that social media is all-a-twitter about #LOOKUP.

It’s not enough that people across the country are posting pictures like this:

And it’s also not enough that people all around the world have been documenting these abnormal flight patterns in flight tracker apps like this:

The fact is, there is a preponderance of evidence documenting such occurrences.

Research indicates there are a bunch of radical environmentalists who are attempting to block out the sun by spraying chemicals into the atmosphere.

FACT.

In reality, this has been happening for much longer than most people realize. Many useful idiots want to casually dismiss these unnatural lines in the sky as nothing more than contrails—condensation trails—but the wise can see through the lies.

Again, this is not speculation or conspiracy.

This disturbing reality is very well documented.

On that note, if you’ve been with me, you know I’ve called out the government’s weather modification programs before. Again, they’ve been around for decades, as spelled out in the following reports:

For today, I want to provide some more specific examples to emphasize that this is not a joke. This is not a test. This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed head on, immediately. We cannot sit idly by while a bunch of environmental wackos obsessively try to block out the sun.

That is entirely unacceptable — and yet, in certain circles, the proposition of blocking out the sun to save the planet is accepted as gospel.

As a case in point, consider the Marine Cloud Brightening Program and “small-scale field studies” (in eastern Washington?) being conducted by Washington State University. One look at the lady running the show, and you can tell that she’s a radical fruitcake who’s just giddy about the idea of blocking out the sun:

“Sustained small changes in cloud cover or in the amount of sunlight reflected by clouds have the potential to change climate both locally and globally.”

It’s worth noting that “emergency weather modification” is authorized in the Revised Code of Washington, the experiments are undeniably underway, more are coming, and there has already been pushback in some local communities.

Here’s the proof:

Cloud brightening and cloud seeding are not the same, but they do go hand in hand. Seeding explicitly aims to make it rain (i.e. Project Skywater), while Marine Cloud Brightening aims explicitly to block out the sun and cool the planet. Regardless, both techniques spray chemicals into the sky, both techniques form more clouds, and these geoengineered clouds inevitably block out naturally occurring sunlight.

Let that sink in.

Taking it a step further, the Wilson Center — which claims to be “Congressionally Chartered. Scholarship Driven. Fiercely Nonpartisan.” — discusses WSU’s marine cloud brightening in the broader context of Solar Radiation Management. They highlight other studies being conducted around “stratospheric aerosol injection,” which is just a fancy way of saying, “spraying shit in the sky” to block out the sun.

According to the Wilson Center:

“…stratospheric aerosol injection, would involve throwing reflective particles into the upper atmosphere. The particle might be sulfur dioxide, or, in some formulations, calcium carbonate or perhaps an engineered nanoparticle, with delivery most likely by a fleet of high-flying aircraft.”

Emphasis added.

Spraying nanoparticles into the sky? Well gosh, that kind of correlates with what all those crackpot conspiracy theorists have been trying to tell us, right?

According to WeatherGeeks.com, the “secret” to effective cloud seeding is using the right chemicals, namely silver iodide, potassium iodide, and sodium chloride. Other sources cite the use of barium and aluminum to achieve the same effect. Still more studies involve injecting “sulfate aerosol precursors and designed nanoparticles” into the atmosphere, in order to save us all from the sun.

That last link indicates that the US has agreed to spend $50 billion to advance some jackass “50-years Shield Project” (presented by Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb) as a proposed solution for so-called global warming.

These people are not stupid, they are insane.

What’s more, these radical environmentalists tout all this weather modification as a “fast, cheap, and imperfect method” of cooling the planet. But unfortunately, even as they try desperately to block out the sun, they’re quick to inform us that global society will still have to get to Net Zero if we REALLY want to save the planet. Geesh.

Nevertheless, they’re rapidly hammering out the details to make it happen.

“…a program that would ramp up to a cooling impact of around 0.3 degrees Celsius could be achieved for about US$2.25 billion per year over an imagined 15 year lifespan. This kind of price tag makes stratospheric aerosol injection look a good bet in brute economic terms.”

What’s $2.25 billion for blocking out the sun, compared to the billions more spent on other absolutely asinine and ridiculous programs funded by our government?

What’s important to grasp, is that there is a lot of money being funneled into this fanatical idea. MIT says they could “start soon if they start small” in deploying this ominous idea of spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to block out the sun.

These geniuses have calculated it would only take about 100 airplanes to pull this off:

“Consequently, full-scale deployment would require a fleet of novel aircraft—a few hundred in order to achieve a 1 °C cooling target.”

While MIT tries to make the argument that such a fleet would take a decade to assemble, I believe this is a foolish assumption and an intentional head fake. How difficult would it be for a bunch of radical environmentalists with deep pockets to retrofit a few hundred airplanes and start spraying today? C’mon man!

As noted above, they are already doing this. Thus, at this point, I believe they are just trying to formalize the process and solidify public support for this outrageous scheme. Quite predictably, there is no shortage of buy-in from the radical Climate Cult.

The good news is, there are now seven states that have banned “chemtrails” and other forms of geoengineering, including “cloud seeding, weather modification, excessive electromagnetic radio frequency, and microwave radiation.” Some conservative states like Tennessee are rocking the boat by tackling this issue head on:

That’s outstanding.

These laws formalize opposition to the idiotic fantasy that somehow blocking out the sun is going to save the planet. This legislation also legitimizes all the “conspiracy theories” by legally codifying opposition to this very real, very dark science.

Personally, I’d point to this outstanding effort to defend the very air we breathe as a clarion call to action. They are spraying our skies — there is no doubt about it.

But we CAN fight back, and we CAN win, as demonstrated by these state legislatures.

BUT HERE’S THE THING:

Most people are still completely clueless.

There are not nearly enough people questioning this poisoning of our skies. There is a stigma about chemtrails that desperately needs to be overcome.

As we’ve seen, geoengineering, weather modification, cloud seeding, solar radiation management (including the use of nanoparticles), and spraying chemicals into the sky is all publicly available information. We need to be talking about this stuff, raising awareness in our communities, and making sure our elected representatives are properly informed and willing to take a stand against this insidious scheme.

What are the long term effects of spraying all these chemicals on the unsuspecting masses? What are the long term effects of successfully blocking out the sun?

Questions abound. We should all demand answers.

Please consider this a primer on the subject, share it far and wide, and remember:

RESIST WE MUST!

Is THIS the Reason So Many Liberals Have Lost Their Ever-Loving Minds?

Luke Throop — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 18:30:30 GMT

They can’t hide it.

Right now, woke lefties are defending foreign gangbangers and violent criminals from being deported, firebombing Tesla electric vehicles, demanding that judicial activists flagrantly ignore the Constitution, and continue freaking out and having a conniption fit over Donald Trump’s presidential mandate to Make America Great Again.

As predictable and entertaining as this may be, there is something else going on here that needs to be addressed. Relative to the climate crazies’ idiotic efforts to block out the sun (a full report of which is still forthcoming), the connection that needs to be made is that there are millions of Americans who have completely lost their minds.

The same way these useful idiots are being stirred up against Trump’s commonsense agenda, they will inevitably be stirred up to support the most radical environmental policies imaginable—up to and including blocking out the sun.

What could possibly go wrong?!

While I continue to be stretched thin, I’d like to skip another rock across the pond of prior thought, connecting the dots between heavily indoctrinated support for the radical environmental agenda (i.e. blocking out the sun) and the other deranged perspectives and behaviors that are on full display in the America left today.

This insanity has not just spontaneously erupted. It has been carefully cultivated, using sophisticated scientific techniques that will make your skin crawl.

TR 401 - Meat Eaters Must Rise Up brought to light declassified deep state research on psychotronic warfare and other modern versions of the dark arts. It positions meat-eating, liberty loving Americans as the firm resistance to the global green agenda.

Today, I’m sharing Torch Report 402, because it gets directly at why and how people have been conditioned to become so detached from reality. It is critical to grasp how thoroughly the mind can be manipulated. This report will help you wrap your head around why so many people appear to have lost their ever-loving minds.

The implications of this report are massive. Please enjoy.

TR 402 - The Transformation of Human Consciousness

This is how the global elites are capturing and conditioning the minds of the masses.

Yesterday’s report took an unexpected twist into the absolutely outrageous sounding “space based systems directed at populations for the purpose of mood management or mind control.” Please keep in mind, these words, this technology, this system of mind control, comes directly from some very disturbing government reports. The fact that this technology was being researched in the 1980s raises serious implications.

The purpose of this report is to connect this disturbing technology to the globalists’ ongoing effort to “fundamentally transform” human consciousness. This too, as crazy as it sounds, has been being researched extensively for a very long time.

I first reported on the “transformation of human consciousness” back in TR 332 - The Sad Demise of American Values. The question being explored was: how can it be that Americans’ perspectives have changed so dramatically in such a short amount of time? The first thought was that it was due to ideological subversion and scientifically based communist mind control techniques.

It turns out it was all of that and more.

Now, before I go any further, I want to take a step back and qualify this perspective.

I am fully aware of how crazy it sounds, at least to the average citizen, to be talking about communist mind control. Many people might choose to tune out or casually dismiss what I’m saying as some sort of delusional crackpot conspiracy—but to do so would be a perilous mistake. The truth is, as thoroughly documented in my special report on Communist Mind Control, this is a very well researched science.

FACT.

And of course, it’s not just the Communists who are using these proven, scientifically based mind control techniques—they’re just the one’s who first perfected the practice. How else could they enslave the masses under authoritarian centralized control?

Personally, until recently, until my post-pandemic research, I had no idea.

I was just as clueless as the next person about mind control, until I read a half-dozen books or so on the underlying psychology and expanded my understanding:

Since the start of the year, I’ve dug into much more material than just what was in those books. That was just the beginning of my study. I’ve shared a lot about all of this in the 100+ reports since, but the tiny sliver of what’s been shared pales in comparison to the full compendium of relevant information available.

I am providing this context for two reasons:

I am willing to risk my reputation to say things that other people may be afraid to say, and I do so with absolute confidence that what I am saying is verifiable truth.
The greatest threat of clinical brainwashing is the killing of curiosity, menticide, when people become unable to ask questions and examine the available facts.

To challenge this, my intention is to throw everything on the table.

My hope is to inspire people to talk about this stuff. We need to be talking about this.

How is it okay for a small group of people to be purposefully brainwashing the masses, without masses even knowing it? To me, that’s evil. And yet, that’s exactly what’s happening, whether we’re talking about it from the angle of state propaganda or weaponized AI and Algorithmic Social Interventions. That’s why the information I stumbled on yesterday—the space based systems for mind control—compelled me to follow up on this fundamental transformation of human consciousness.

It’s a double-edged sword.

Much like neuroplasticity opens up the possibility of life-long learning and the ability to retrain our brains toward more efficient, productive, and predictable positive patterns, this examination of transforming human consciousness opens the door to considering how we might use these revelations to our own advantage.

As quoted from the CIA’s report on Psychic Warfare:

“Man’s greatest potential remains a prisoner of man. Only a fraction of the human mind is currently used. Limitless mental capabilities are just waiting to be accepted, developed and understood.”

That’s a good thing—unless of course some evil mastermind taps into this potential to advance his own selfish, anti-human agenda, aka “dabbling in the dark arts,” to quote the government report. The flip side of this is that we each have the same latent potential, and that means we can seek and potentially unlock powerful solutions by becoming better acquainted with our own inner consciousness.

This is precisely the reason I’ve long said that the only solution to political chaos is an elevation of personal, inner, spiritual awareness. It's the elevation of awareness that leads to the expansion of human consciousness, according to the science. I first came to understand this through my study of yoga and meditation, but the political connection came in TR 332, when I was studying this transformation of human consciousness in a research paper from the Journal of Consciousness Studies.

The 2010 research paper was titled, “Worldview Transformation and the Development of Social Consciousness,” and the study presented this informative visual:

Note that human consciousness—your consciousness—is “passively shaped” outside of awareness, as in without your realizing it, by “biological, social and cultural factors.” These are the embedded beliefs that drive our behavior.

Emphasis on embedded.

The global elite understand the science of this conscious transformation very well, and it is precisely this science of embedding “shared beliefs, values, and social attitudes” that predicates their efforts to develop cosmopolitan global citizens.

Just to drive the point home:

Worldviews are shaped by factors that lie outside of conscious awareness, and these worldviews shape a person’s experience of reality. That’s what they’re targeting.

This shaping of consciousness is rooted in what the scientists call “transpersonal psychology.” In a nutshell, this phenomenon connects people with a “broader sense of self that expands beyond the individual.” This is the scientific underpinning of the collective hive-mind, it is very real, and it is absolutely destructive.

Such transpersonal consciousness “expands social consciousness” beyond the natural world. This is where personal beliefs—embedded by the cabal—get replaced by “collective beliefs” and subsequently become detached from reality.

The mind ceases to make direct observations of the natural world (or the facts at hand), and instead begins to accept embedded suggestions and interpretations as if they were actually reality—and personal beliefs and behaviors follow suit.

The entire process is facilitated through a deliberately initiated physiological shift, via an intentional change in emotional state, that leads to brain entrainment. This creates a “measurable coherence” that intensifies the individual’s shift of consciousness into a “sincerely loving or caring state.” This is the classic “feel good” stuff that heightens suggestibility and leads to people doing stupid things for the greater good, like this:

Friends, again, this is the actual science behind brainwashing.

In this intentionally intensified “sincerely loving or caring state” the masses are easily primed to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the collective. This is the basic biological function that has been driving cult mentalities since the dawn of time. Scientists say this “transformation of worldview” leads to a sense of “grounded belonging,” even up to the point of drinking the collective Kool-Aid.

It should come as no surprise, but should not be overlooked, that this study on expanding social consciousness and transforming worldviews is intended to develop “global citizens.” This is the cosmopolitan perspective discussed in TR 338:

It’s important to point out their pedagogy here, how their method of intentional education (i.e. indoctrination) utilizes “inclusive dialogue” and “lived experiences” to facilitate this conscious transformation. They’ve been integrating this into K-12 education for decades, without informing parents that what they were really doing was transforming their children’s consciousness and hijacking their humanity.

Their objective is to “develop different identities” and the results speak for themselves, but unfortunately this rapid rate of change is just ramping up.

Tying it all together.

It should go without saying that it’s not just the commies who know how to hack and manipulate people’s minds. Our own government excels at this science just as much as any other, if not more.

The issue we face now is that a small group of people, who have their hands on the levers of the most powerful technologies ever created, are now using this science to transform human consciousness at the global scale.

Just to be clear, this is menticide on a massive scale that was never before possible.

If we entertain the possibility, based on our own government’s reports, that they have the ability to manipulate moods and impose mind control with advanced technologies that may or may not be “space based,” we’ve got a serious situation on our hands.

While many people may be wondering what we can do about the rampant and blatant political corruption, my question is this: What can we do about this shady subconscious manipulation of humanity?

Just to bring it back down to earth and make a practical connection, this conscious transformation is directly related to the forthcoming global digital IDs and global digital currencies—per this previously reported study: “The post-pandemic, socially conscious transformation of American banking in a digital world.”

I mention that to emphasize how the global cabal is using these techniques of mind control and conscious transformation to convince the masses to accept living in inescapable surveillance, embrace state censorship, and simply ignore the potential genocidal destruction of remnant populations who reject all this insanity.

The current political environment seems to indicate that we are quickly approaching these “final” solutions. Indeed, the stakes have never been higher. They’re about to break out the “big stick” to beat us into compliance—that much they’ve admitted—the question is:

“Can man resist a government bent on conditioning him?”

The answer is YES, and RESIST WE MUST!!

Are Your Tax Dollars Being Used to Block Out the Sun?

Luke Throop — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:45:42 GMT

Let’s review.

Friends, the last week has pulled me in so many different directions, I haven’t had time to put together a proper report. That said, I have been working on a full report on Solar Radiation Management — aka blocking out the sun — and I’m looking forward to doing a proper deep dive on the subject.

I’m sure that many of you have seen the strange lines in the sky.

French riots. Canadian wildfires. Climate lockdowns.

With that in mind, as I’m working on that report and juggling about a billion other things, I’d like to share TR 399 - Government Seeks to Block Out Sun in its entirety today, as a primer for what’s to come. This report was originally posted July 3, 2023.

We’ll be taking a much closer look at what the hell is going on once I have the time to do it proper justice. Thank you for your patience.

For now, please read, listen, enjoy, click the little heart and share!

TR 399 - Government Seeks to Block Out Sun

What the hell is going on in the world, right?

Could all of this somehow be connected?

I’m going to thread this all together, but first I want to bring attention to this:

So, the government is using YOUR money to figure out how to block the sun. FACT.

To any rational person, that should seem absolutely outrageous. Who the hell do these people think they are? But more importantly: who the hell is going to stop them before they do something terrifyingly stupid, like try to block out the sun?

This is all so utterly insane, it is difficult to comprehend. That’s by design. When things seem so strange and out-of-whack it elevates “free floating anxiety” which then heightens suggestibility. If they can keep the masses guessing, then the masses keep looking for answers. And who can the masses trust, if not their beloved government?

Damn fools anyway.

By the way, if you were to search for “blocking sunlight” on the White House website, you’re not going to find anything. Instead, you’d need to search for this little doozy: Congressionally-Mandated Report on Solar Radiation Modification. It is there you will learn that the Biden-Harris Administration is fully focused on “advancing environmental justice” in cooperation with “international partners.”

They claim there are no plans underway at this point, but stress any “potential” program must encompass the “societal as well as the scientific dimensions of solar radiation modification”—i.e. how people might react to the government blocking out the sun, because hey, what could possibly go wrong, right?

Interestingly enough, the press release of this “congressionally mandated” report linked above, states quite bluntly:

“…there are no plans underway to establish a comprehensive research program focused on solar radiation modification.”

That is a lie.

If a curious peasant were to drill down far enough to find the actual report, the truth would be revealed:

“This Research Plan focuses on improving understanding of the potential impacts of SRM. … This Plan draws from the published literature on SRM, research currently underway, and other reports identifying priorities for SRM research.”

What do we learn here? Two important facts:

“This Research Plan” directly rebuts the press release “there are no plans”
“This Plan” draws from literature and research that is “currently underway”

The executive summary of the 44-page report states that all of this research would “help to prepare the United States for possible deployment of SRM by other public or private actors.” The implication here is that the U.S. government is aware that other entities may jump on this crazy train too, so they better figure out how to deal with it—will they lead by example, or will they get left in the geoengineered solar blocking dust?

The 44 page report refers to climate change over 60 times. They emphasize “international cooperation”—which translates to global governance—outline the various ways of building consensus and “socializing best practices,” and then refer to the U.S. Global Change Research program that has been in place since the Global Change Research Act of 1990. Have you ever heard of that before? Me neither.

Here’s the link to their suspiciously named website: GlobalChange.gov

The site is a treasure trove of globalist propaganda and cultish climate slogans. I’ll do a deep dive on this site at a later date. What stood out to me today was the fact that the Department of Homeland Security just became the newest member of the cult, the first agency to join the committee in almost two decades:

What, pray tell, does the Department of Homeland Security have to do with climate change? Well, according to the announcement:

“DHS brings unique expertise to USGCRP, such as its experience in preparing our Nation for and responding to more frequent natural disasters. The addition of DHS’s invaluable insights and perspectives will help USGCRP better connect critical climate information to the people across the country who are facing increasing risks of climate change.”

I smell a rat.

The language alone is gobbledygook—rife with words that have a “hidden, higher meaning and socialistic interpretation”—but here it’s who’s behind this merger that is most disturbing. It is the utterly dishonorable Alejandro Mayorkas, whom lied to congress about the Disinformation Governance Board, who has been instrumental in destroying our country by allowing human traffickers and hard drugs to flow across the southern border, and who rightly deserves to be impeached for high crimes against the nation—THAT is the guy behind this merger with the Global Change committee.

The climate cultists working for Global Change claim that DHS has “invaluable insights” that will help “better connect critical climate information” to people across the nation. What are they really saying here?

Did you know that the Department of Homeland Security has been monitoring social media as part of the Situational Awareness Initiative since at least 2015? As reported way back in TR 120, these initiatives are aimed at sniffing out “white supremacists” and “hate crimes” under the guise of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. In other words, DHS is functioning as a weaponized federal agency that is deliberately targeting political opposition to the current tyrannical regime.

Combined with the impetus behind the allegedly disbanded (but quickly rebranded) Disinformation Governance Board—who’s entire mission is to seek and destroy political dissent in the name of keeping people “safe” from misinformation—the reason for this latest leftist alliance begins to be clear.

DHS will provide Global Change with “valuable insights” via their national surveillance programs, and they will “better connect” government climate propaganda with people across the country by censoring any dissenting perspectives. It would be foolish to think that this isn’t already happening.

This is a mere formality—a public declaration of their ever expanding assumed authority that most of the public knows nothing about.

Let’s circle back.

France is on fire due to five nights of violent protests, prompting some to claim that “France has fallen,” even as the French President Emanuel Macron continues to blame video games and demand social media censor the protests. With over 700 injured cops, French Patriots have taken to the streets to help restore justice. Their bravery should be inspiring to the world, and their chants resonate with your soul:

“Blue, white, red, France belongs to the French!”

France belongs to the French, just as America belongs to Americans. The same could likely be said for the 400+ other agitated protests happening around the world today.

The globalists are orchestrating this chaos to justify government crackdowns and greater degrees of centralized control, which they enforce via an increasingly inescapable surveillance state and more heavily militarized police force.

Unless force is met with force, it’s checkmate.

The great irony is that we are told to believe that the “climate crisis” is driving this societal chaos, at least according to The Science, which brings it all full circle.

We are told to believe that climate change is causing the Canadian wildfires—not arsonists, like some Canadian officials claim. Meanwhile, Washington state officials have declared that we’re going to be in the epicenter of wildfires in the northwest this summer, because of “what we’ve done to the atmosphere.”

Naturally, the government’s solution is to try to block out the sun and ban hamburgers just in time for the 4th of July. We could probably laugh if they weren’t so serious.

But wait…

A thought crosses my mind: Extreme wildfires block the sun right?

Yes, that’s right, according to National Geographic, extreme wildfires cool the planet:

Officials are investigating claims of arson, but no arson is ever caught. Then there’s that whole drone-deliverable Flamebot 9000 thing. Now multiple states are reporting that this so-called wildfire smoke smells and tastes like chemicals.

They’ve already said we need climate lockdowns on par with the pandemic lockdowns EVERY TWO YEARS in order to save the planet. Now we’ve got air quality alerts over toxic smoke that has people masking up and staying locked in their homes.

The coincidences just keep stacking up.

Think about it: if these people are crazy enough to honestly entertain the idea of blocking out the sun, what are they not willing to do in order to save the planet?

Oh yeah, and all of this hype just so happens to coincide with the National Wildland Firefighter Week of Remembrance. The observation is held annually from June 30 to July 6—which is awesome in that it honors those who have fallen fighting fires to protect our communities—but it’s strange that it coincides with so much propaganda.

Biden says he’s met with firefighters who are working day and night as the fires “get larger, more intense, and more difficult to control because of climate change.”

The way that it’s being portrayed reminds me of how they elevated nurses to hero status during the pandemic, because they were risking their lives to keep people safe. The solution is more money and state surveillance, no surprise there, but the template and timing of it all… that’s got me scratching my head.

The global cabal claims that climate change is driving societal chaos.

Could the global cabal be the one who’s driving this climate change?

I’d love to know what you think. Stay curious friends!

TR 681 - Discussing Male Menstruation, the Climate Crisis, & Other Idiotic Narratives

Luke Throop — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 18:45:46 GMT

Let’s compare.

They say you can’t compare apples to oranges, but in reality, you sure as hell can.

Apples come in a large variety of colors, shapes, textures, and sweetness. Oranges on the other hand, being generally round and orange, have much less variety in these attributes. Apples have woody stems, and they make good pies. Oranges, not so much.

The list could go on, but that’s not really the point.

The human ability to compare and contrast is at the root of our discernment. We must be able to discriminate between the various qualities of people, places, and things we encounter in our environment — good, bad, or neutral — if we really want to thrive in life. In fact, such sound judgment is essential to our survival as a species.

But that’s not really the point either.

THE POINT IS, due to decades of cultural conditioning and a gross degree of social engineering, the general public’s judgment and level of discernment is woefully low.

This lack of judgment is a major impediment to restoring our Republic.

Why?

Because without sound judgment, without the ability to compare and contrast, the ability to discern discrepancies and accurately discriminate against lesser choices, then we are destined to follow the path of folly that’s so well-trodden by our feckless leaders.

Indeed, we’ve been stumbling blindly down this path for years.

One need only to consider the warped perspectives running rampant right now, like the belief that boys can be girls, that men can menstruate (not joking, see below), etc., to grasp just how badly the public’s discernment has been broken. I’m fully aware that there are millions of people who can see through these lies, but that does not dismiss the fact there are millions of people who do in fact cling to these delusions.

You’ll note in the studies below that our government, the globalists, and their gigantic network NGOs are actively funding the cultivation of such insanity:

It’s all absolutely insane, but none of this is by accident.

Similarly, and more importantly, millions of people are still desperately clinging to the delusion that CO2 is bad for the environment, and that “man-made global warming” is an existential threat to the planet. Those in this camp are even more dangerous than all the rabid trannies combined, because they believe they have a moral imperative to “save the planet” by significantly reducing the human population and taking total control over every aspect of our lives.

They believe in the “climate crisis” just as much as a Baptist believes the Bible.

Unfortunately, even though Trump and his team are standing up to this delusional thinking, I’d dare to say that the simple majority of Americans, by population, are still fully invested in the narrative. The so-called “climate crisis” is very much alive and well in the minds of the masses, and of course, in many of our elected leaders.

As I was saying in recent reports, the Great Reset is still very much upon us.

In judging which is the greater threat, transgenderism and transhumanism versus the manufactured climate hysteria, we need to wrap our heads around a few numbers. According to Gallup, 7.6% of Americans identify as LGBTQ (as something other than heterosexual), and this percentage has literally doubled over the last 10 years.

Meanwhile, Pew Research indicates that some 69% of Americans are still on board with the climate agenda, accepting hook, line, and sinker the need for society to be “taking steps to become carbon neutral” by implementing the globalists’ arbitrarily contrived deadlines and Net Zero initiatives.

Agenda 2030 and the 2050 deadlines still loom on the horizon.

Thus, while the readily apparent insanity of gender confused ideologues is an easy target to mock and make an example of, the number of these strange and deranged useful idiots pales in comparison to the climate crazies. What the MAGA movement must realize, is that these climate crazies are the real army that we’re up against.

It is those who are infected with the “climate mind virus” — and not just the “woke mind virus” — that are set to do the most damage to the American way of life.

It is they who seek to take control over local resources, locking up land with massive industrial scale “green energy” projects and regulating our way of life into oblivion.

Moreover, it is the Climate Cult that is being used to push the anti-human depopulation agenda. They have been meticulously indoctrinated to believe they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by pushing for the elusive Net Zero, which the founder of Green Peace himself has admitted will end millions of lives.

“If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” —Dr. Patrick Moore

Some would say that’s the point.

As you may know, I’ve documented this dark depopulation agenda many times before:

It is not a stretch to say that the radical, fanatical environmentalists are willing to do damn near anything to save the planet. They will glue themselves to tarmacs, sit in the middle of the road to stop traffic, and push the most ridiculous policies to advance their collective fantasies. These fanatics are incredibly motivated to do stupid things, and many of them are highly active in the political process at the local level.

Meanwhile, most American patriots are happy and content with all the “winning,” falsely believing that Donald Trump is going to be able to put a stop to all of this.

This naive optimism is dangerous, as it overlooks the great deal of work that needs to be done to confront the climate agenda at every level. We need to confront the climate agenda as it seeks to worm its way into local policies and ordinances, and we need to confront the crazies who support this nonsense in the court of public opinion.

We need to elect fighters at the county and the state levels, who are willing and able to articulate the bogus nature of the climate narrative, and stand firm in the fire of liberal scorn that ensues. We need to communicate, at every level, the idiocy of believing in a so-called “climate crisis.”

In short, we need to drive this meme into the grave, as quickly as possible.

(source)

Now is the time.

One might think the solution would be as easy as educating people about the global network of over 1900 scientists and professionals, many of whom are Nobel Prize winners and PhDs in their respective fields, who adamantly REJECT the climate crisis narrative. Indeed, the Climate Intelligence foundation has released a report titled The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC, that dismantles the bunk science one stat at a time.

But unfortunately, most people will never read it.

Beyond that, something I’ve noticed about building support for public pushback, is the tendency for people to get in an uproar about something, for a little bit, only to go back to their business of rat killing before any meaningful change takes place.

I’ve seen it in the opposition to wind turbines and industrial solar. I’ve seen it in opposition to so-called smart meters and the “safe and effective” vaccines. I’ve seen it in opposition to gross government overreach and outright political tyranny.

When people know that what’s happening is wrong, they stand up and say something. They get angry and emotionally involved. But, when nothing comes of speaking out, most people end up feeling defeated, as if all the pushback was for nothing.

ZOIKS!!

That is a losing strategy if there ever was one.

Unfortunately, this tendency is predicated upon predictable human nature, which is why it has been thoroughly exploited by the powers that be for a century or more. In fact, this natural tendency to tune out and let go of grievances has been calculated into the process of systematic societal transformation.

The Delphi Method, Horizon Scanning, and Vertical Integration are all being deployed daily to extract consensus and acceptance from unwilling peasants, at the local level, in your county and hometown. FACT.

Which is why we need discernment now more than ever before.

It is critical that America First patriots keep their eyes on the ball.

Today, we awaken to headlines like these:

What do you think? Have the globalists released the Kraken?

World renowned analyst Charles Nenner certainly thinks so:

Trump Will Face War & Depression

But me personally?

I’d say wait and see — but don’t wait idly.

There is a steady stream of good news coming out of the Trump administration, like the potential for DOGE savings to be issued to taxpayers in the form of a stimulus check, the new Energy Secretary moving us away from 'Quasi-Religious' Climate Cult Policies, and woke Ivy Leagues being brought to heel by freezing federal aid over their insidious indoctrination schemes and anti-American agendas.

It’s all good stuff.

However, this does little to salve my broader concerns.

Along with the myriad issues that seem to be getting swept under the rug by all the winning, like an honest investigation of the J6 Fedsurrection, I’d point to this headline out at Revolver News as case in point for what I’m getting at:

Trans vet gets government-paid vaginoplasty, then hangs himself a month later…

The point is, the public psyche has already been poisoned.

Millions of people are completely out of touch with reality.

Thus, millions of people still believe that Biden’s economy was booming, that Trump’s tariffs and Musk’s cuts are driving the markets into a recession, that men have a right to compete against women in sports, that the planet is in an existential crisis that demands drastic actions to “proportion” the population and impose draconian regulations and top-down authoritarian control over our everyday lives, and so on.

What’s a patriot to do?!

We need to be discerning.

We need to discern the difference between actionable intelligence and entertaining distractions. We need to discern the degrees of impact that can be had by investing our time and effort into things like public meetings versus social media. We need to discern the distinction between what might happen, and what’s actually happening.

Above all else, we need to discern what can be done about it, at the personal level.

What can you and I do?

Well, there is much to be done.

I think we need to prioritize and coordinate our efforts to push back on the things that are impacting us most directly at the local level. I’ve got a lot more to say about that, including prioritizing and pushing to the center some fairly “fringe” ideas, but alas, I’m out of time for today. I’ll rip the lid off that can of worms in the next report!

In the meantime, remember: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 680 - On Trump's Spectacular Speech and How MAGA Wins

Luke Throop — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:03:39 GMT

In the beginning…

The whole world had gone mad.

Reflecting on it, everywhere we looked people were covering their faces with worthless face diapers, recoiling from handshakes, afraid to stand too close, scared of crowded spaces, and following all sorts of absolutely ridiculous new “rules” — like social distancing with those stupid little stickers in the stores, getting testing like lab rats with those nasty little nose swabs, contact tracing, quarantines, and on and on.

What’s more, at the peak of this insanity, now nearly five years in the rearview, people were not allowed to visit their loved ones, go to the movies, go to church, enjoy family dinners, walk in the woods, play in the parks, et cetera—and MOST people, by far, went along with it the whole damn time.

I was not one of them.

I never got swabbed or accepted these new rules. I didn’t follow those stupid dots. I’ve never been tested for Covid-19. I’m not going to rehash or recount it all now, but I wanted to briefly reflect on the covid plandemic, shamdemic, scamdemic, because that’s the context for when the Torch Report started.

That’s where I’m coming from when I say, “RESIST WE MUST!”

With that in mind, it seems impossible to account for everything that has happened in life, from the personal to the national levels, since March 2020. I’d suggest taking some time to reflect on it, to reconnect with what life was like, for you personally, before the whole world got turned upside-down.

I went to March 2020 in my Google photos, and it was a disturbing time warp.

Remember this?

I remember thinking: why are people panic buying toilet paper for a respiratory illness? There were SO many things that didn’t make a lick of sense—but at that time, I still didn’t have a clue about how far the rabbit hole would go. On that note, it’s probably worth taking a little trip a little further down memory lane:

“Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.”
—George Santayana

February 2020 had been a highly eventful month. Bernie Sanders had won the Democrat primaries in New Hampshire (because nobody liked Joe Biden) and the Iowa caucuses were subsequently delayed. Donald Trump had been impeached by the House but was acquitted by the Senate. Political theater consumed the news.

Outside of that, for the low-information voters, February 2020 had been peppered with stories about mass shootings in multiple places, swarms of killer bees, “ruptured gas lines” in Texas, leaky sewage in Florida, and news that the Boy Scouts were going bankrupt—but that was all just the noisy din of headline news.

The real story was that Donald Trump was rocking the political establishment, and both parties, in cahoots with the global cabal, were desperate to stop him.

To further set the stage, consider the fact that on February 12, 2020, the economy was booming and the stock market was at a record high. President Trump had delivered record-low unemployment and prosperity to the American people. His MAGA base was energized, support among Black and Latino voters was surging, and his reelection seemed virtually inevitable.

Meanwhile, sleepy Joe Biden wasn’t leaving his basement.

Nobody liked Kamala Harris (remember, she was the first candidate to get rejected in the primaries), so it looked like ‘Crazy Uncle’ Bernie Sanders was going to sweep in and successfully steal the spotlight from the establishment’s sock puppet candidate — but of course, the DNC (aka Hillary Clinton) was having none of that!

Under no circumstances could the globalists who were pulling the strings behind the entrenched, entirely corrupted two-party political establishment allow the American people to actually choose their own president.

They had a plan.

Having successfully run the Event 201 pandemic dry run in October 2019, the largest psyop in human history was set to commence, just in time to thwart Donald Trump’s reelection. The stage was set, and the first domino had been tipped:

With all of this in mind, while most pundits are still talking about Trump’s tremendously important and impactful speech to Congress (understandably), I’d like to drop this video of Trump addressing the nation back on March 11, 2020.

This was, as NPR put it, “the day that changed everything.”

I strongly encourage you to watch the video, and consider the fact that the same man is now sitting in the same office, under entirely different circumstances.

Think about how QUICKLY everything changed.

For the record, I thought Donald Trump did a masterful job of schooling the Democrats on Tuesday night. I loved how he trolled them. My favorite line was the one about how all the liberals had been squawking about needing new legislation to secure the border, “but it turns out, you just needed a new President.”

BOOM!

I damn near spit out my wine when he said that. I had to laugh out loud.

It was classic Trump, and it was delivered perfectly.

Soak it up, yes, but please don’t forget how quickly things can change. Please don’t lose sight of what’s happened, what’s in motion, and what’s not in the headlines.

Even as I was pulling references for this morning’s report, trying to go back and search out historical records of what actually happened back in 2020, I immediately hit the wall of Algorithmic Social Interventions.

My feed was full of “Trusted News Initiative” sources, and there wasn’t a dissenting, counter-narrative perspective in sight — it was all canonized globalist propaganda, which is pretty odd if you think about it, and deeply disturbing.

As I have said many times before, they’ve been re-writing history in real-time. You and I both know that the vast majority of people are never going to go digging around for something other than the state sanctioned truth. Most people are simply going to believe what they’re told. Worse yet, as discussed, this passive behavior has been intentionally conditioned for decades and our society now suffers accordingly.

Long-time subscribers know I was calling out state-based propaganda and manipulative algorithms long before it was revealed that the USAID was funneling tax dollars to propagandize the American people, or the Twitter Files and Google Leaks confirmed the Deep State was orchestrating election interference.

On January 20, 2022, in TR 41 - Are Our Elections Legitimate?, during the thick of the unrelenting pandemic propaganda, I made the following observation:

“Since the start of all this chaos, COVID-19 has had significant political implications. The crisis tanked the economy, thrust then-President Trump into turmoil, and radically altered the 2020 presidential election. This in turn, generated even more uncertainty and confusion, and ushered in the current corrupt and incompetent administration.
Could this have been the plan all along? (Hint: Fauci predicted it in 2017)
…
By the time of the 2020 elections, people had been living in fear for almost a year. Life had been turned upside-down, businesses had been shuttered, masks and social distancing had been mandated, and lockdowns had become common place. This led directly to unconstitutional changes in voting laws, and the most rampant voter fraud our country has ever faced.
This then led to questionable elections, which then led to January 6th, which continues to divide the country and plunge the public even further into uncertainty and chaos. We now know that the supposed “insurrection” was being instigated and orchestrated by government operatives. We know that people are being held in solitary confinement, as political prisoners, without trial or bail. And we know that the next wave of COVID swept all of this information into the dust bin of history, as the public once again was bludgeoned with relentless propaganda.”

At that point, there were very few people questioning the various narratives. That’s precisely why I started the podcast, because it had become painfully obvious that there were not enough people resisting the insanity of it all. If more people didn’t wake up and start pushing back, then tyranny would establish a permanent root.

The reason people weren’t pushing back, was because of the incessant propaganda:

“…to this day, too few people question the connection between COVID and events at the capital.” —Torch Report 41

It’s hard to believe that was over three years ago… 639 reports later, it feels like I’ve learned a lot about how and why things got so crazy, but it also feels like most people are still operating in the fog of gaslighting propaganda—present company excluded.

Think about the liberal’s support for more war in Ukraine. Think about the obsession with DEI, child mutilation, and the sickening transgender nonsense. Think about the gross degrees of corruption and fraud. Think about the political establishment’s concerted effort to undermine Trump’s dismantling of all of this and more.

Friends, I sincerely believe that Donald Trump is exactly the kind of leader that we need to correct course and Make America Great Again. There is no denying that he is highly focused and effective, or that he’s learned many lessons from all the political persecution and lawfare. He knows how the game is played now, and he’s playing it at the highest possible level.

That said, for all of the excitement and winning, I can’t shake the feeling that something else is afoot. Everything that has been on the table remains on the table. Much like the globalists conspired months in advance to bring down Trump with a pre-planned pandemic, I suspect they are busy preparing their next move.

They may tank the economy and blame it on Trump. They may push forward with the next plandemic, unleashing a weaponized Bird Flu. They may take another stab at assassination. They may plunge the world into a global war. Whatever their ploy, the thought that they’d just give up and go home seems inconceivable to me.

While on the one hand it seems prudent to resist getting sucked into the Doom Loop, on the other hand, it feels like we need to resist getting all doped up on hopium.

We have momentum. We can win.

But we are certainly not going to win if we expect Donald Trump to solve all our problems. He’s doing great, but he can’t do it all. The globalist agenda is still being implemented at the local level. The global bankers still have all their cards. Digital currency, digital IDs, and a full-on commie social credit system are still on the docket.

Trump has made it perfectly clear that the American Dream is back in style. Millions of people are once again feeling excited about the future—but that’s only half the story. Millions of useful idiots and Marxist minions are still among us. Liberal lawmakers and activist judges are still in positions of power.

Weaponized algorithms are still censoring and controlling the flow of information. Globalist propaganda is still warping the very fabric of reality. Millions of people are still asleep, wholly unaware that the Great Reset is still very much upon us.

At the end of the day, this is where the battle lies.

We are in a war of perception and beliefs. We must fight with our words before we fight with our fists. While it’s tempting to think we can simply beat some sense into people, that strategy is severely shortsighted. If we really want to Make America Great Again, we need to win more hearts and minds—millions more.

In the long run, this is the only winning solution.

The mid-terms are coming. This fight is far from over. Educate people, especially your local and elected leaders. If you’re not already, get in the fight, and stay in the fight.

There’s never been a better time to wake people up.

Tell everyone you know: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 679 - On Epstein, Trade Wars, & Immortalizing Donald Trump

Luke Throop — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:45:41 GMT

Here we go.

Jeffery Epstein used young girls as bait to lure in high profile people like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, global diplomats, politicians, and business moguls, in order to film them in compromising positions and create dirt for the purpose of blackmail—no need to rehash the details of that, or how he allegedly hung himself in jail, while on suicid…

TR 678 - Beware of the Snare (Part 4): In the End Game, Timing is Everything

Luke Throop — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 19:09:06 GMT

I’m curious.

I’ve always been curious. This morning I heard a new birdsong, a seasonal migrator of some sort, and I was immediately curious about what new bird this was. Was it one that I would recognize from last year? If so, I might be able to firmly pair the song with the bird, and brand it in into my mind. But then again, it was a new song, and I felt fairly certain I hadn’t heard it before. What could it be?

All of that went flying through my mind in an instant, but rather than grabbing the binoculars and setting out on the hunt to scratch that curious itch, I decided to plant my butt down and do some reading. There’s a lot happening in the world.

Here are some of the things that I will not be talking about today:

It’s not all good, it’s not all bad, and it’s all a little crazy. One would be forgiven for not being able to keep up with it all, or not even trying. To keep so many moving parts held in the mind at the same time would be exhausting, if not impossible.

Of course, there’s even more going on than just the above headlines, and that’s always the case. Generally speaking, it’s what’s not being talked about in the headlines that poses the greatest risk to everything we hold dear. The steadily, stealthily advance global cabal is always on the march. Remember, they have “a world to win.”

The ends justify the means.

In light of the current upheaval, given DOGE is gutting the federal bureaucracy and Trump is moving faster than the media can keep up, it only makes sense that the entrenched ruling class would be getting increasingly desperate to cover their collective asses and do whatever it takes to cling to whatever power they still have.

Death threats are becoming mainstream. Many pundits are claiming that the Deep State is in full-blown panic mode, as the respectable Darren Beattie points out:

Deep State’s boldest move yet to protect their own—the panic is real, and it’s getting scary…

“[T]he FBI is actively destroying files—wiping servers clean—to ensure damning evidence can’t be recovered… suggesting that this cover-up could include information tied to Epstein and even attempts at subversion against the American people.
…
Everyone knew this was coming.
The Deep State was never going to slink off quietly into the night. But as this dangerous chaos unfolds, it’s also a defining moment for President Trump’s America First A-Team to prove they’re more than just talk. Words aren’t enough—it’s time for action, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.”

(Emphasis added)

I’d like to point out two things here:

Not everyone knew this was coming. In fact, millions upon millions of people have been completely blindsided by the corruption that’s been revealed, and millions more still remain completely ignorant to all that’s happening. It’s important to keep in mind how little the average citizen pays attention to politics.
It’s true that those who’ve been keeping track saw this coming, and it’s true that Trump’s team has to prove they’re more than just talk (as if they haven’t already). Words are not enough to right this ship, we need drastic and sustained action—the only way out is through—and it’s true that the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Our Republic hangs in the balance.

Which brings me back to the ongoing analysis of the new narrative that somehow MAGA has been hoodwinked and co-opted into supporting the “authoritarian transformation” of America. This narrative positions Trump, Musk, and DOGE as acting on behalf of the “tech elite,” in an end-game strategy for total control.

For those who may not have been following along, you can get up to speed here:

To continue dismantling this sophisticated narrative, let’s return to Erik Wikstrom’s masterful piece of propaganda, The Triumph of Technocracy | Part 2: The Ultimate Deception. As I’ve made clear, there is a great deal of truth in his writing—and a great deal of “ultimate deception” that’s aimed squarely at curious, skeptical peasants.

Ironically, jumping to the end of his essay, Wikstrom agrees with Beattie:

“The time for gradual awakening is over. The window for action is closing fast. This is the Endgame. The choices we make right now, the actions we take, the strength we show – it all matters more than we can imagine.
We can do this. We must do this. The alternative isn't acceptable.
The question is: Are you ready to level up? To stand firm regardless of the cost?”

Again, there is a lot of truth there. This is good stuff. Like my friend was saying, we’d be wise not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

However, let’s not lose sight of the premise, and instead, take a closer look at what this call to action is aiming to do. To grasp the intent, we need to step back and consider the emotional priming sprinkled throughout the essay.

This screenshot should give you the gist:

“The time to fuck around and find out is OVER… Let me be crystal fucking clear: There is NO ROOM for "maybe Trump's a good guy" or "maybe if person X comes into office..." That kind of thinking isn't just naive anymore – it's dangerous.”

I’m just as quick to call out the false hope as anyone—as I like to say, hopium abounds. That said, look at the language. Look at the passion. Look at the rage on that monkey’s face, and realize the author is attempting to tap this primitive instinct.

He speaks of the “terrifying brilliance” of the tech elite’s supposed plan to first co-opt, then systematically eliminate the resistance with a new, much more lethal bioweapon. He pushes the idea that this new bioweapon will specifically target the people who resisted the covid vaccines, but only after this resistance is used to facilitate the destruction of democracy via full-throated support of Trump, Musk, and DOGE.

The thought of it is truly terrifying.

Could that ever happen? Sure.

But don’t let it ruffle your feathers, because that’s exactly what the storyline is meant to do. It’s a fresh iteration of fearmongering, a new invisible enemy, something that’s terrifyingly possible, that most people have never considered.

In short, it’s meant to prime survival mode, elevate cortisol, and shut down critical thinking. Put differently, it’s meant to thrust patriots back into the darkness of perpetual doom and gloom, and put an immediate end to any sense of optimism and hope. There is “NO ROOM” for such dangerous thinking.

(source)

It’s been over a year since I wrote TR 423 - Beware of the Doom Loop, but the lesson still stands. Don’t let the enemy use fear to control you. Don’t live your life as if it’s the end of the world. Don’t squander the time you have always waiting for the next shoe to drop.

The world keeps turning, the sun keeps burning, and life is still good.

Furthermore, the spirit of freedom is on the move. The public now has an appetite for reconciliation and accountability. Through the last election, We The People spoke loud and clear, and Donald Trump was given the directive to clear the foxes out of the henhouse, expose the corruption, and gut the bloated beast of bureaucracy.

Elon Musk also has a directive from the American people: to apply his considerable genius to the singular task of eradicating wasteful spending and clawing back billions, if not trillions, of our hard-earned tax dollars. What’s come to light so far has been hideous, the initial savings have been huge, and people love what he is doing.

So, it is within that context—within the context of all the “winning”—that we must consider Wikstrom’s timely and forceful (ALL CAPS) denunciation of hope. He claims that there is “NO ROOM” for the suggestion that “maybe Trump’s a good guy.”

That’s ludicrous. Even people who don’t like Trump, like what he’s doing.

As I’ve made clear in prior reports, against all odds, Trump has brought the country together from across the political divide. He’s focused public attention on the culprits of corruption and delivered as much as could be delivered on his promises to take massive action on behalf of the American people. He’s only five weeks into his second term, and there’s no denying the fact that he’s been a very busy man.

“Promises made. Promises kept.”

The subversive suggestion that Trump is merely a pawn in some grand satanic plot to kill off American patriots is, well, subversive. Again, it’s seductive and provocative.

One who reads the Wikstrom articles might feel enlightened by his insights, disturbed by his conclusions, and motivated to adopt his framework for what’s “really” going on.

Personally, I do not.

My efforts in addressing this new narrative head-on stem from a strong desire to defend the minds of my fellow liberty loving Americans, my fellow patriots, my fellow members of the MAGA movement from covert psychological attacks. I am compelled to speak out against this new narrative, because I believe it is a psyop—and that perspective is predicated on a great deal of research and a thorough understanding of the intent and mechanism of such operations.

I’ve documented the discrepancies in his writing, exposed the unlikely timeline and rapid traction of this new narrative, and shined light on his underlying intentions. I’ve also acknowledged the truth in his words, where appropriate, and gone line-by-line to split hairs and demonstrate how these truths have been couched in false premise and lead to foregone, misleading, and outright false conclusions.

I think that perhaps the most prescient statement Wikstrom makes is this:

“With comprehensive psychological profiles of the resistance demographic in hand, the tech elite could now design the perfect narrative – one that would transform their greatest opponents into unwitting allies. Their AI-driven analysis provided a complete map of the resistance psyche, allowing them to craft a message so perfectly calibrated it would be almost impossible to resist.”

Swap “tech elite” for “global elite,” and he’s nearly spot on.

The enemies of freedom have weaponized artificial intelligence and undoubtedly used it to profile and track the resistance. I don’t doubt that this “complete map of the resistance psyche” is currently in the hands of some great evildoers.

I don’t doubt that it is being used against us.

I think Wikstrom’s writing is a perfect example of what that looks like. It’s a message that’s so perfectly calibrated, it’s almost impossible to resist—but resist we must.

Resist the urge to get swept up in this new narrative. Resist the appeal to your primal emotions. Resist the suggestion that we’re all going to die if we don’t do something drastic. Resist getting pulled into another rabbit hole of endless and scary what-ifs.

Resist the concerted effort to kill your buzz and squash your hope.

Right now, American patriots have every reason to be optimistic and feel good about what’s going on. It’s not perfect, and it’s surely not all as it seems, but acknowledging that does not imply we should abandon the belief that we are in fact winning, at least for now. It’s okay to believe in a brighter tomorrow.

That said, this war for control of hearts and minds is far from over, we’ve got a lot of work to do, and there is a long, steep road ahead of us.

Stay wise patriots… and remember: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 677 - Beware of the Snare (Part 3): Is there a Baby in the Bath Water?

Luke Throop — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 18:41:33 GMT

Let’s do this…

In the interest of time, I’m going to skip the introduction and truncate the recap. Suffice it to say there is a new narrative making the rounds, suggesting that Trump, Musk, and DOGE are facilitating an “authoritarian transformation” on behalf of the “tech elite” for the purpose of gaining total control over the whole of society.

I’ve called bullshit and tackled this narrative head on in the last two reports:

I’m going to move forward today, making two assumptions: 1) that you are up to speed on the source materials (the origins of this new narrative); and 2) that you’ve been following along and have either read or listened to both of the last two reports.

We’ve covered a lot of ground and discussed a lot of details, drilling down on the language used, the obvious omissions, and what I believe to be the underlying intent of a pair of articles written by Erik Wikstrom.

On February 15th, Wikstrom wrote an article titled, “Checkmate: The Triumph of Technocracy — How Trump, Elon & the Tech Elite are paving the way for a Brave New World - And what it means for all of us.”

In just over a week, he has over 200 likes and comments:

Which is REALLY impressive, given that he only launched his Substack two weeks ago:

It turns out there are many Erik Wikstroms in the world, and some of them are PhDs, CPAs, and college professors — all of whom have a long and well documented online presence — which is why it struck me as odd to find this Erik Wikstrom’s substack sitting at #2 in the search results, linking to none other than his one-week-old article suggesting that Trump, Musk, and DOGE are facilitating an “authoritarian transformation” on behalf of the tech elite:

What a fascinating coincidence.

How does this guy seemingly come out of nowhere and skyrocket to the top of the search results with a two-week-old Substack? How does he get so much traction and engagement so quickly? Like I side yesterday, I smell a rat.

It’s also very curious to me that Wikstrom has gotten so much traction having only written three articles on Substack in English — plus his very first article, which was written in Swedish. Yet another curious coincidence, is it not?

It seems only fair to point out that I have been writing on Substack consistently since November 2022, publishing over 750 posts (including 677 Torch Reports), and my traction at this point is still nowhere near Wikstrom’s:

Maybe he’s just a much better writer than I am.

Maybe he’s great and I suck.

Maybe.

Or, maybe, like I said yesterday—maybe, just maybe—this guy is affiliated with, or working on behalf of, one of the groups that are feeling most threatened by DOGE.

The timing of his launch, the target audience and sophistication of the propaganda, the instant traction, the mysterious nature of the man himself, the occult symbolism in his profile picture, shooting to the top of the search results, his first post being in Swedish, all of it, seems to smack of something suspicious, doesn’t it?

But let’s not get lost in the weeds here.

I’ve said from the beginning that Wikstrom’s writing is thorough, and that it contains many elements of truth. I’ve used words like “provocative” and “seductive” to describe his style. I’ve gone line-by-line through sections of his essay, demonstrating how solid truths are being couched in false premise, which is classic misdirection.

He’s connecting “very real dots,” I said yesterday — nodding to the fact, again, that much of what he says is true — but he’s connecting them in an intentionally misleading way. Think about how in school different kids connect the dots differently.

Most kids did something like this:

But there was always that other kid who did something like this:

Same dots, different picture.

And so it is with the reality of our situation.

I heard from a good friend yesterday, whom I love and respect, who was adamant that I don’t “throw the baby out with the bath water” when it comes to Wikstrom’s articles. My friend made the point that he’s not all wrong, and that we’d all be wise to remain skeptical of what’s going on, to stay curious and open to opposing perspectives, instead of just getting sucked into the hype and hoopla of all the “winning.”

My friend is 100% correct, and I’d like to honor his exhortation by focusing for a moment on the elements of truth that make Wikstrom’s writing so compelling.

Rather than rehashing the first piece, I’ll start today with a section from his second article: The Triumph of Technocracy | Part 2: The Ultimate Deception — How the Pandemic Sorted, Profiled, and Set Up the Resistance for the Perfect Trap.

“In Part 1, we examined how Trump, Elon and the tech elite are orchestrating a transformation of society through strategic chaos, weaponized AI, and the dismantling of democratic institutions.
…
What we're about to explore might seem counterintuitive at first. After all, if you're implementing a system of total control, wouldn't you want to crush resistance? Silence dissent? Instead, we've witnessed the opposite – a strategy that deliberately awakens resistance, confirms suspicions, and appears to validate every conspiracy theory.
The truth about the pandemic – more accurately described as the plandemic – goes far beyond the usual narratives of totalitarian control or even depopulation. It served as something far more sophisticated: the most extensive psychological profiling operation in human history. Every lockdown, every mandate, every restriction was designed not just for control, but to identify, study, and ultimately co-opt those who would resist control.”

Sounds pretty good, right?

He called out the “plandemic” and said the lockdowns and mandates were all about control, right? He brings up totalitarian control and even depopulation. This guy is speaking my language man! — and not by accident.

But let’s back up… thoughts happen fast.

First, he says “we examined” how Trump, Elon and the tech elite are orchestrating an authoritarian transformation of society through strategic chaos, weaponized AI, and the dismantling of democratic institutions. NOT TRUE.

That is a false premise and a predetermined conclusion.

All he did was present a false narrative in a persuasive fashion. There was no critical examination of the underlying intent, assumptions, or omissions in that article. It was all intentionally glossed over. The real examination came in TR 675.

Moving on, he uses the classic “this might seem counterintuitive at first” schtick, followed by what seems like a straight forward question everyone can agree with:

“After all, if you're implementing a system of total control, wouldn't you want to crush resistance?”

Who would argue with that, right?

Forgive me, but allow me to try…

I’ve thought long and hard about exactly that question. What does it mean to crush the resistance? Think about it through the lens of the Art of War. It’s better to convince your enemies to join your side than it is to destroy them outright, better to capture their resources intact, rather than destroy everything in sight.

“Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
—The Art of War

Thus, if you are a global evildoer looking for total control over a reduced population, the best thing to do is break up the resistance without any real fighting. This strategy is vastly different than “crushing the resistance,” as Wikstrom suggests.

This strategy, to infiltrate and break the resistance, has been on the books for eons. It is precisely the strategy that I’ve called out over and over again, by pointing out the Algorithmic Social Interventions, institutional indoctrination, social engineering, and subconscious taming of humanity—all of which has been happening for decades, and all of which has now been accelerated by weaponized AI.

For a good refresher on these strategies, consider reviewing these reports:

So no, I do not agree that the enemies of freedom are looking to crush the resistance. I believe they are looking to reprogram the resistance—and that they’ve been doing so for decades—and to that end, I believe Wikstrom is seeking to advance this cause.

Again, I think it’s a psyop that’s meant to confuse people, reshape perspective, and propagate bogus ideas that divide the liberty movement.

“Ah,” you say, “You must be one of those diehard MAGA freaks who think Donald Trump was ordained by God and is above reproach!”

FALSE.

Anyone who’s been with me for any length of time knows that is not true.

But let’s get back to the meat of the matter:

“…we've witnessed the opposite – a strategy that deliberately awakens resistance, confirms suspicions, and appears to validate every conspiracy theory.
The truth about the pandemic – more accurately described as the plandemic – goes far beyond the usual narratives of totalitarian control or even depopulation. It served as something far more sophisticated: the most extensive psychological profiling operation in human history. Every lockdown, every mandate, every restriction was designed not just for control, but to identify, study, and ultimately co-opt those who would resist control.”

Line-by-line:

“We’ve witnessed a strategy that deliberately awakens resistance, confirms suspicions, and appears to validate every conspiracy theory.” Is this true? Maybe. It’s a bold assumption at best—the suggestion is that that strategy was to awaken the resistance—but how can this be true, if every ounce of censorship and algorithmic intervention was directed at concealing the truth? The resistance arose organically, against the best efforts of the tech elite and the Deep State to tamp down any truth about covid origins, false testing, toxic injections, etc.
“The plandemic served as something far more sophisticated: the most extensive psychological profiling exercise in human history.” TRUE. I’ve been calling this out for years, all the Sentinel Surveillance and Social Listening (using the globalists’ AI-infused EARS), which have long been deployed by the “secret global cabal”—not the “tech elites” that he holds up in his strawman argument. Please keep in mind, they have been using these technologies to control “emerging” public perceptions. I have written about it extensively.
All the covid insanity was “designed not just for control, but to identify, study, and ultimately co-opt those who would resist control.” Maybe. That said, I disagree that the intent was to co-opt those who resist control. Sure, it might have been meant to study them and flush them out, so they could more easily be targeted, siloed, and reprogrammed, but to claim the aim was to co-opt the resistance is something entirely different. The suggestion here establishes the false premise that those in the MAGA movement supporting Trump, Musk, and DOGE are unwittingly supporting an authoritarian transformation, which I flatly reject.

In short, that paragraph presents many layers of illusions and deception. There is truth, yes, but there is also falsehood. By twisting the two together, the author seeks to by-pass critical thinking and foment acceptance of his forgone, fictitious conclusions.

I cannot emphasize enough that everything Wikstrom is accusing Trump and Musk of doing, was already underway long before these two arrived on the scene. They are being targeted as scapegoats for an insidious plot that very few are even aware of.

By targeting those who are currently targeting the gross fraud and corruption that has helped to fund and facilitate this plot for decades, Wikstrom is misdirecting attention away from the real powers that be. I believe this is deliberate deception.

Again, I’ll point to the sophistication and thoroughness of his well-written narrative, coupled with his faux humility (“Am I Crazy Here?), as strong indicators that he knows exactly what he is doing. This is not some naive commentator who has suddenly connected the dots in a new and improved way. Moreover, the statistical improbability of his instant success and incredible search ranking suggest he is not working alone.

I, on the other hand, am working alone. I am just an ignorant peasant doing the best I can to wrap my head around things, cut through the fluff, call out the bullshit, break through the narratives, and present meaningful content (based on thousands of hours of research) to help you develop your own informed perspective.

Friends, if you’ve been with me for awhile, you know that I claim the Torch Report is the “truth you can trust,” not because I ask you to take my word for anything, but because I do an insane amount of research to deliver the primary sources that you need to dig in and decide for yourself.

I don’t use AI to write my reports. When I sit down to write, you get whatever comes out. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s relevant. You can go back through years of my writing, over 675 reports, and see that I am consistent, honest, and sincere.

That said, I appreciate your grace with any typos that slip through, as I usually don’t have the time to go back through and edit. I am also exceedingly grateful for those who share this content, as I am not active on social media.

To all the free subscribers and especially the supporting members of the Patriot Club, you make my heart soar like a hawk!

Two more things, on the house keeping front:

I’m a better speaker than a writer, so if you haven’t listened to the Torch Report, you should. It’s not an auto-generated audio, it’s me, in the flesh, pouring my heart out to the world. I try to keep the podcasts around 20 minutes long, so you can enjoy them on your lunch break or commute. Please share.
Of all the subscribers to the Torch Report, there are only a handful who take the time to click the little heart and “give me some love.” THANK YOU!! For those who don’t, it’s not that hard. If you click the heart and it asks for your email, it’s not asking you to re-subscribe, it’s asking to confirm your email. You’ll get an email confirmation that links your phone to your subscription, so you can then click the heart at will. If you get bored, go to the archives and click lots of hearts. I’d be lying if I said Wikstrom’s instant success (250+ likes) didn’t irk my ego!

On top of all that, I’ve got a day job and it’s time to get going.

Thank you for reading/listening/joining me on this learning journey.

Until next time, remember: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 676 - Beware of the Snare (Part 2): Peering into the Ultimate Deception

Luke Throop — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 18:42:17 GMT

Let’s continue…

This is the second report analyzing the fresh narrative that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are ushering us into a techno-dystopian hell, per a plan that was mapped out by the “Hidden Philosopher” Curtis Yarvin, wherein the “tech elite” gain total control.

In yesterday’s report, I outlined how solid truths are being woven together with a series of false premises to present the seemingly thorough and somewhat plausible conclusion that Trump is the “perfect pawn” for this unprecedented power grab.

Along with many not-so-obvious hints and socialist tells, the author misdirects attention by attributing the implementation of this evil plan to none other than Elon Musk and the DOGE team that is currently rocking Washington DC:

“The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) serves as the vehicle for this transformation. Under Elon Musk's direction, what's presented as modernization reveals itself as RAGE in action.
…
As Yarvin himself expressed it: ‘To install a new operating system, you must first shut down the old one. RAGE is ctrl-alt-delete for the state.’”

I smell a rat.

Isn’t it ironic how this new narrative just so happened to crop up right as DOGE began to expose massive Deep State fraud and cut off funding to the myriad apparatus that have long been used to bolster and enrich globalist hegemony?

Given the complexity and timing of the propaganda, I strongly suspect the author is an asset of one or more of the groups most threatened by these developments.

As I pointed out, by demonizing the “tech elite”—specifically Elon Musk and any of the tech bros who supported Trump and Vance in the 2024 election—the author is directing attention away from the real global power players, say like the UN, WEF, WHO, IMF, World Bank, Bilderberg, Davos, Rothchilds, Soros, and so on.

The question that comes to mind is: who’s using who?

Do you think a handful of “tech elites” are using the long-established and deeply entrenched global power players to advance a fascist corporate state?

Or, do you think the “secret cabal” of global elites are using the Silicon Valley billionaires and the fancy new tech to advance their plans for a New World Order?

Logically speaking, which is more likely?

In analyzing the narrative, the language used, the thinly veiled political slant, and the sophistication of the writing, it is my opinion that the perspective being presented is an intentional psyop. That is, I believe the thoughts that are being introduced are targeting critical thinkers in the liberty movement, with the intent of destabilizing support for DOGE and stirring up doubt and dissention in the ranks.

The source material for the following discussion can be found in this pair of articles, written by Erik Wikstrom:

Checkmate: The Triumph of Technocracy — How Trump, Elon & the Tech Elite are paving the way for a Brave New World - And what it means for all of us
The Triumph of Technocracy | Part 2: The Ultimate Deception — How the Pandemic Sorted, Profiled, and Set Up the Resistance for the Perfect Trap

** My original analysis of those articles is found here:

Today, I’d like to start out by emphasizing Wikstrom’s obvious political slant. Though it may not be obvious to many at the outset, given his expert use of common MAGA parlance to build rapport and disarm readers, there are many clues dribbled throughout his writing. Several of these tells were brought to light yesterday.

When every “bad actor” just so happens to support the MAGA movement, it raises the suspicion that the author is failing to conceal his bias. He pretends to be on the same team, but his words paint a different picture.

Consider what he has to say about JD Vance:

“JD Vance represents a particularly sophisticated placement. With his strong connection to Peter Thiel [a tech bro who supported Trump], working-class background and Yale education, he moves seamlessly between worlds.
When he speaks of "reforming bureaucracy," he uses language that sounds harmless to most but signals a darker agenda to initiates.”

Have you ever listened to JD Vance?

His language sounds harmless, but I bet you didn’t know his straight forward words and folksy tone are actually the signal of a much darker agenda, at least “to initiates.”

But who the hell are these supposed initiates, anyway?

I’d suggest these “initiates” are none other than the people who read the Wikstrom articles and accept what he says. The initiates are those whom accept this new narrative, who’s critical minds are incapable of identifying and rejecting the memes—quite likely military grade memes, by the way—and thus, their minds become infected with this new way of thinking.

This is memetic warfare.

As a result, these initiates then propagate this narrative. They share the articles, which disseminate the germinating thoughts, and spread the infectious ideas through casual conversation. They’ve bought into the belief, and the belief then begins to drive their behavior, specifically by stirring up emotion in opposition to Trump, Musk, and DOGE—all because they’ve received a new “quantum of information” that has been presented as a secret key to seeing things “as they really are.”

Again, this is like catnip for the conspiratorial mind.

Further pushing the assertion that Trump, Musk, and DOGE are trying to facilitate the “ultimate power grab” in their fascist pursuit of “total control over society’s future development,” Wikstrom says the following:

“Unlike traditional authoritarian transformations that moved slowly to avoid resistance, this operation shows no such caution. …
While media focuses on political drama, the real transformation proceeds:
State functions transfer to private control
Democratic processes yield to automation
New control systems install piece by piece
…
Each implemented change creates dependencies that make reversal increasingly difficult:
Digital payment systems replace traditional banking
Corporate platforms supersede government communications
Private infrastructure displaces public services
AI systems become essential for basic functions
By the time the transformation becomes obvious, the new system will be too deeply embedded to easily dislodge.”

Again, we see both truth and false premise being interlaced, and again we see the author’s political bias in the underlying sentiment. The easiest way to identify the pattern in his sentiment is to view it through the lens of good and bad. What’s being presented as good? What’s being presented as bad? What’s this guy saying?

We are being told that what’s happening right now is an “authoritarian transformation.” You see, it’s not that Trump was elected to Make America Great Again. It’s not that he’s working with Musk to hack through decades of corruption and expose the massive fraud and decades of egregious spending and public fleecing.

What we are actually witnessing, if one were to accept this new narrative, is a carefully orchestrated, exceedingly complex, perfectly timed, highly advanced strategy for the “tech elites” to take total control over society.

That’s the narrative—that’s what this guy is saying.

But take a step back. Notice how, upon hearing that narrative, the mind gets caught up in considering whether or not this could possibly be true. It’s at least possible, isn’t it? I mean, a lot of what this guy has to say is spot on—he even talks about the Hegelian dialectic and the New World Order!

And yeah, sure, a lot of these “tech elite” billionaires are clearly just trying to get more money and power, being the greedy capitalist pigs that they are. It’s not that much of a stretch to think they might be trying to make a move to advance a new sort of “corporate state” so they can have their fascist way with America.

It’s all quite plausible.

But don’t take your eyes off the ball here. Retrace the thoughts. Where did this thought come from? What is the premise of this thought? The thought was suggested by this new article that came out, and the premise is that Trump and Musk are driving this authoritarian train—and don’t forget about JD Vance and his dark and sinister agenda!

BUT… wait a minute… what the hell did that guy just say?!

Wikstrom said that this “authoritarian transformation” looks like State functions transferring to private control; Corporate platforms superseding government communications; Private infrastructure displacing public services.

Think it through.

State control is good, private control is bad. Government controlling public communications is good, private platforms facilitating communication is bad. Being dependent upon the State to provide public services is good, but providing private sector solutions is bad.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the exact opposite of actual reality?

You may recall yesterday, after I pointed out how liberals have flip-flopped on so many issues, I warned emphatically: CONSERVATIVES BEWARE!

We are all susceptible to being manipulated in this way.

Is Wikstrom’s twisting of words not the perfect example of this?

He is skillfully suggesting that the government is the solution to our problems, while pointing to greedy corporations and private capitalist pigs as the boogeyman.

Sound familiar?

Perhaps he is unfamiliar with the words of Ronald Reagan:

(source)

Like I said before, similar to omitting the real global power players in favor of propping up the “tech elites” strawman, I do not believe Wikstrom’s siding with government solutions is naive or accidental—I believe that it is fully intentional.

If you think about how thorough his writing is, and how meticulously the narrative has been crafted, it seems highly unlikely that he’s ignorant to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and their explicit efforts to establish a limited government.

Instead, I believe he is working to directly undermine and subtly attack those who are working hard and fast to reconcile our runaway government with this original intent. He’s doing so by unleashing a sophisticated psyop that’s aimed squarely at the critical thinkers who are supportive of DOGE and the broader MAGA movement.

Honestly, it pisses me off.

Wolf in sheep’s clothing!

I’d like to call out another despicable characteristic of this scheme, the faux sincerity and self-deprecation that’s meant to draw the skeptics further in.

In the beginning he says:

“I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this analysis – in fact, I pray that I am.”

Bullshit.

At the end, after skillfully presenting five stages of well thought out propaganda, he says this:

“I hope deeply that this analysis is wrong. That the pattern I see is an overreaction, an exaggerated interpretation of coincidences. Because if it's right, we're witnessing the most sophisticated coup in human history – one that uses our desire for change to eliminate the very possibility of freedom.”

Again, bullshit.

He doesn’t “hope deeply” that he’s wrong.

He knows damn good and well that he’s wrong. The “pattern” that he sees is not an overreaction or exaggerated interpretation of coincidences, it’s an intentional connecting of very real dots, in an intentionally misleading way.

To suggest we are witnessing the “most sophisticated coup in human history” is absolute hogwash. We’ve already witnessed the most sophisticated coup in history—it was the 2020 election. Lamenting that “our desire for change” is eliminating the very possibility of freedom is also a farce.

What is it that we want to change?

We want to change the decades of political corruption and public extortion by routing out the subversive commie agents and government cronies who have long been running the show. It is they, in cahoot with Rockefeller’s “secret cabal” of global elites who are vying for total control over a reduced and subdued population.

Are the tech elites in on this? You bet your ass, many of them are.

But, I highly doubt they are running the show. To accept that premise would be to ignore hundreds, if not a thousand years of history or more, let alone the political shenanigans that have transpired over the last several administrations.

Wikstrom goes even further to profile and implicate the MAGA crowd as being ignorantly complicit in his second piece, but again I’ve run out of time. I will rip apart his shoddy suggestion that Trump and Musk are dismantling our beloved “democratic institutions” in tomorrow’s report.

For today, I leave you with this little teaser:

“With comprehensive psychological profiles of the resistance demographic in hand, the tech elite could now design the perfect narrative – one that would transform their greatest opponents into unwitting allies. Their AI-driven analysis provided a complete map of the resistance psyche, allowing them to craft a message so perfectly calibrated it would be almost impossible to resist.”

There is a lot of truth in that statement. Think about it. Wikstrom’s message is so perfectly calibrated, it’s almost impossible to resist—and to that I say:

RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 675 - Beware of the Snare (Part 1): The Next Massive Psyop has Now Been Deployed

Luke Throop — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:49:01 GMT

It’s interesting.

Actually, it’s absolutely fascinating, at least to me, to watch the mind-bending unfold in real-time. Just yesterday, I was enjoying a conversation with an adept individual who did a masterful job of pointing out many of the great ironies of our time:

Liberals declaring that free speech is a “free-for-all hellscape,” that it was “weaponized free speech” that caused the holocaust.
Liberals demanding more funding for more war, essentially signing a death warrant for millions more Ukrainian and Russian young men.
Liberals stomping their feet, protesting, and doing everything they can to stop the gross degrees of government waste, fraud, and corruption from coming to light.

The list could go on, but the point is easily made: every position being taken right now appears to be precisely backwards to everything liberalism used to stand for.

Conservatives beware.

It’s always easier to point out flaws in someone else’s thinking, than it is to examine and identify potential flaws in our own. It’s just a human thing we must acknowledge.

In reality, there are a great many people who will never examine their own thinking, because they lack the maturity and awareness to do so. We might make a generous assumption and say that perhaps 80% of the population lacks the requisite faculty and inclination to thoroughly question themselves, leaving roughly 20% of people who at least have the capacity—though whether they use it or not is another question.

From the angle of psychological warfare (aka psyops), the 80% are basically sitting ducks; they are low-hanging fruit that are easy to pick off and push into accepting any given narrative. Again, I’m being generous here.

Considering the effectiveness of the COVID-19 psyop, it would appear the percentage of people susceptible to being ensnared in abject insanity is well over 90%.

Thus, for those perpetrating the psyops, their target audience would be the 10-20% of people who, in theory, might have the wherewithal to remain independent and critical, as opposed to being assimilated into whatever narrative is being pushed.

In other words, some minds are more resistant to military-grade memes than others. Remember that in the context of memetic warfare, DARPA and the Deep State have the ability to create memes that guarantee the propagation of an idea—but saying that for the umpteenth time today, another angle of reflection emerges.

Properly understood, scientifically speaking, a meme is a “quantum of information.” With that fresh in mind, it’s this little tidbit of information that gives rise to the infectious ideas that then, quite predictably, spread throughout the population.

First comes the info, then comes the idea.

That’s critical, and it’s easy to grasp by imaging yourself going for a walk in the woods. As you are walking along, your mind wanders this way and that, thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. Think of this as unstructured thought, it’s just the mind doing what the mind does, endlessly.

All at once you smell something. It’s a sweet smelling flower. As you continue walking, the scent grows stronger, and you begin to hear the loud buzzing of honey bees—but you still can’t see the bees or blossoms that they are buzzing on.

Your mind now has a quantum of information, the scent and the sounds, other sensory inputs, and an unfathomable number of mental constructs (cumulated through life experience, education, etc.) that it uses to generate ideas.

The mind uses these ideas to form a story.

There’s a cracking of a branch in the woods up ahead and your heart starts to pound. You remember stories about how bears like honey, and all at once you know you’re not alone. Your nice idea about taking a picture of the fuzzy bees harvesting beautiful blooms immediately gets scrapped.

Now you’re thinking about finding a sharp stick and a tree to climb.

Your mind is racing as you break off a dead branch and climb a nearby tree. You might begin thinking about living to tell the heroic tale of how you defended yourself against the ferocious bear, when all at once, there’s new information.

From your perch in the tree, you see a fellow nature lover down below, some 20 yards away, crashing through the brush with a camera, trying to get a good shot of the beautiful blossoms on a wild lilac tree, buzzing with bees. There is no bear in sight.

Startled by the sound of you climbing a tree, they look up and shout, “Well hey there, I didn’t expect to see anyone else out here! What are you doing in that tree?” Relieved and slightly embarrassed, your mind spins up a story: “Oh, yeah, I could smell the lilacs and heard the bees, and I thought I’d get a great aerial shot from up here!”

Such are the wiles of the mind.

Moral of the story: first comes the info, then comes the ideas, and a self-justifying story always ensues.

Let’s zoom out.

Informational warfare works by hijacking these built-in mechanisms of the mind. The truth is, we are all susceptible. We are hardwired to process information and create stories that help us make sense of things. It’s the intentional usurpation of this process, wherein the powers that be or some other external force aims to “make sense of things” for us, that we must remain constantly aware of.

How can liberals have been so easily duped into defending and advocating for positions that run entirely contrary to everything that liberals used to stand for?

They were fed new information. This new information came with new suggestions that planted the seeds of new ideas, which then gave rise to new stories that ultimately justify their complete flip-flop and abandonment of prior convictions.

Like I said at the outset: conservatives beware.

There is new information being circulated through patriotic circles, new suggestions making the rounds, that are meant to give rise to new ideas about what’s happening right now. There is a new story being spun up, and I believe, personally, that this new spin is little more than a massive psyop meant to divide the liberty movement.

The gist is this: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are paving the way for a new technocratic, global digital governance that will ultimately enslave us all.

Some of that should sound familiar, if you have been with me, because I’ve been calling out this nefarious push towards global digital governance for years, pointing out that the path to this techno-dystopian hell (Future Earth) is paved with good intentions.

The twist in this story, is that it’s Trump and Musk who are ushering this in, and that it’s patriotic Americans who have been duped into cheering them on.

I don’t buy it, but the narrative has been so meticulously crafted, it must be addressed head on. I was introduced to this narrative when a good friend shared a pair of articles written by Erik Wikstrom, linked here:

Checkmate: The Triumph of Technocracy — How Trump, Elon & the Tech Elite are paving the way for a Brave New World - And what it means for all of us
The Triumph of Technocracy | Part 2: The Ultimate Deception — How the Pandemic Sorted, Profiled, and Set Up the Resistance for the Perfect Trap

Both pieces are well-written and rather lengthy, giving them a feel of thorough thinking that threads in many assumptions that instantly appeal to patriots. This type of intentional disarming is common in psychological warfare.

Consider the opening paragraph of the first piece:

“I invite you to temporarily set aside your preconceptions about how the world works. I know this may run counter to everything you believe, everything you think you know about what's happening in our world. The truth goes much deeper than the surface-level chaos we see in the headlines. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this analysis – in fact, I pray that I am. But if I'm even partially correct, we are witnessing one of the most sophisticated power grabs in human history.”

Temporarily set aside your preconceptions—not a bad idea!

This may run counter to everything you believe, everything you think you know about what’s happening in “our world”—sure, question everything, right? That’s a solid precept, but note how this phrase is intended to introduce doubt about what you think about our world.

This is a positioning statement meant to assert dominance in the narrative.

The truth goes much deeper than the “surface-level chaos” we see in the headlines—no shit Sherlock, thanks for stating the obvious, but why? Why state the obvious? First, to build rapport and indicate we’re on the same team by emphasizing a common refrain in patriotic circles. Second, to prime the truth seeking instinct of hardcore skeptics. The phrase “the truth runs much deeper” is like catnip for a lot of people.

Immediately upon reading the headline, “How Trump, Elon are paving the way for a Brave New World,” many people in the MAGA movement would immediately tune out and dismiss the story—but not all.

That’s not who this article is meant for.

This article is targeting the 10% with new information and suggestions meant to change their perspective on what’s going on. Rather than cheering for what Trump and Musk are doing, readers are being groomed to flip the narrative.

Line by line, a truth is stated, followed by false premise.

“The technological infrastructure required for total control has finally matured. Artificial Intelligence has reached the sophistication necessary for algorithmic governance. The social and political chaos we're experiencing isn't random – it's orchestrated to create the perfect conditions for this transition.” —TRUE.

The next line:

“Consider this: Elon Musk alone controls enough wealth to simultaneously fund eight Manhattan Projects, maintain a private army of 100,000 elite mercenaries for a decade, or fund the entire United Nations for 14 years. But this isn't about money – it's about power. The tech elite already have more wealth than they could spend in multiple lifetimes. What they're pursuing is something far more ambitious: total control over society's future development.” —FALSE PREMISE.

There are a lot of psychological tells in that paragraph: controlling wealth, Manhattan Projects, private mercenaries, all presuppositionally bad from a socialist perspective, and the could-be-used-for-good suggestion of funding the UN for 14 years—but instead “this isn’t about money, it’s about power.”

By demonizing the “tech elite”—who are admittedly an easy target—the author is directing attention away from other global power players, say like the UN, WEF, WHO, IMF, World Bank, Bilderberg, Davos, Rothchilds, Soros, and so on.

Claiming that the tech elite in general, and implicating Elon Musk in particular, as pursuing “something far more ambitious”—i.e. total control over society’s future—is a strawman argument. There is no mention of the global cabal and their ilk, or those who have been working to bring this Brave New World into existence for centuries.

Given the sophistication of the article, I do not believe that was by accident.

In fact, I’d like point to this profile pic to pique some curiousity as to where the author’s allegiance may ultimately lie. Note the symbol within the symbol:

The circle-triangle-square-circle is a powerful symbol known as the Philosopher’s Stone, which has many different interpretations and applications, many of which lie firmly in occult practices, but I’m not chasing that rabbit here today.

Say’s the author:

“The genius of their strategy lies in its complexity. Like a masterfully played chess game, every move serves multiple purposes. What appears as chaos is actually a precisely choreographed sequence of events. What looks like resistance is often part of the plan. Even this analysis, should it reach a wider audience, would likely be dismissed as paranoid speculation – which is exactly what makes the strategy so effective.”

Hook, line, and sinker.

Their genius lies in their strategies, which are so complex, no mortal peasant can comprehend—except the iniates.

It’s like a masterfully played chess game and every move has multiple purposes—but how many people identify as chess masters? How many people think that many moves ahead? Clearly you need someone to do your thinking for you!

What looks like resistance is “often” part of the plan.

I want to emphasize the word “often,” because is softens the statement and makes it more palatable. Staking out some assumptions here, let’s assume that the MAGA movement is the populist resistance to the tyrannical top-down control of a bloated and corrupt federal bureaucracy. What “looks” like resistance—the MAGA crowd turning out in the millions to elect Donald Trump—is actually a calculated part of the chessmasters’ strategy.

I actually do not dimiss that possibility—however, what I do reject, is leaping to the conclusion that those who believe Trump and Musk are exposing corruption, are actually being bamboozled into supporting the “tech elites” plan for total control.

Wikstrom does a good job of outlining many of the patterns at play. He calls out the Hegelian dialectic of problem, reaction, solution. He rightly identifies weaponized AI as being the game changer in the ongoing power struggle for total global control.

His writing is smooth and coherent, even seductive.

He then goes on to expose the so-called “Hidden Pattern.”

“We're witnessing more than a political realignment or technological revolution. This is a fundamental restructuring of society – a transformation that uses our legitimate frustrations with failing systems to implement something far more controlling.
…
To understand how this transformation operates in practice, we need to examine its most visible manifestation: the carefully orchestrated performance centered around Donald Trump...”

“A figure so improbable, so controversial, so seemingly chaotic that no one could suspect his role was precisely choreographed.”

The perfect pawn?

The author goes on (and on, and on, and on—more on that in a minute):

“Like a masterful illusion, the audience focused so intently on the obvious conflict that they missed the real transformation occurring backstage. While everyone watched Trump versus the "deep state," in the shadows, the real players methodically positioned themselves to assume control of society's fundamental functions.”

I agree with this statement. I believe it is true.

That said, I disagree, strongly, with the suggestion and conclusion that “the real players” are the Silicon Valley elites (i.e. Musk). It’s not that I’d deny many of the tech elite are vile criminals and Marxist sociopaths, it’s just that there are much bigger fish in the sea. These ambitious upstarts have nothing on the global influence and power of secret societies, global bankers, Black Nobility, old school aristocracy, etc.

Who’s using who, here, do you think?

Consider the author’s conclusion:

“Behind the money and influence flowing into the Trump campaign lies a set of radical beliefs and a dark agenda. …Elon Musk and his growing empire represented the visible spearhead of this movement.”

Can you see the narrative? Donald Trump won because of the dark money flowing out from the tech elites. Elon Musk is just the tip of the spear—and they’re using Donald Trump and his administration like pawns on a chessboard in order to advance their own dark agenda, all the while American patriots are too stupid to realize they are cheering for their own demise.

The essay goes on and on, like I was saying, which is actually a sales tactic. It covers objections from every angle, and gives a compelling closing pitch by exalting the “hidden philosopher” that no one’s heard of, as the real evil genius.

You see, DOGE was actually formed to implement RAGE and advance the tech elites master plan. They’ve got a blueprint, a strategic network, an accelerated timeline, and the perfect defense. The peasants think they are saving democracy, while they’re actually trying to destroy democracy and build a new corporate state.

You know, fascism. It’s always fascism, isn’t it?

What a coincidence that this is the ultimate boogeyman, right?

Anyway, I’m already long, so I’m going to save Part II for tomorrow. Until then, stay skeptical, question everything, and remember: RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 674 - Communist China Tries to Infiltrate the Trump Administration

Luke Throop — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:46 GMT

That didn’t take long.

Can you imagine being the President of the United States?

I can’t.

Furthermore, I cannot imagine what it must feel like those first few critical weeks, or what it would be like to have to pick a team of people whom you must trust to make major decisions that will impact the lives of millions of people.

How many people do you know that you could trust like that?

There are approximately 25 cabinet positions that each president needs to fill, with each pick having to withstand public scrutiny, congressional hearings, and senate confirmations, per Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution.

I dare say that is not an easy job to do—the picking of people.

In the DC swamp, the number of parasites swirling around whispering poison into politicians’ ears is unimaginable. Like a bad game of telephone, the subtle suggestion that so-and-so is a qualified and trustworthy candidate quickly makes the rounds. Lifetime swampers and ambitious staffers are all vying for their spot, trying to elbow their way up to the table of power. Deceit and treachery abound.

Who do you trust in that situation?

Sure, vet and verify, but if you really think about it, even the most careful selection process could still churn up a bad apple or two, right? Of course.

I’m just trying to lay some groundwork here, to emphasize the fact that nobody is perfect and that in such a complex and fast moving environment, mistakes get made.

And so it was, I saw this headline:

Trump's Labor Secretary Pick Is a Commie Fox in the MAGA Henhouse

Says Stephen Kruiser of PJ Media:

“Trump’s nominee to be the next Secretary of Labor is Lori Chavez-DeRemer, one of the worst Republican nominees for a Cabinet position in recent memory. Seriously, this was a phenomenally bone-headed choice by Trump; it's a serious buzzkill for those of us who have been enjoying the MAGA high since January 20.”

After calling out Lori ‘Hugo’ Chavez-DeRemer for her Big Labor bias, commie proclivities, ties to Planned Parenthood, and other MAGA transgressions, Kruiser tells apologists what he really thinks:

“If you’re still in the "let Trump cook" camp, you should grab a bib and a plate and get ready for the steaming piles of commie horse manure that you’re going to be served if Lori ~~Hugo~~ Chavez-DeRemer makes it into President Trump’s Cabinet.”

(Emphasis mine… kudos for the creative writing.)

Personally, I’m not that invested in this pick, and as much as it pains me to say it, I do still “trust the process”—at least a little bit. I trust that Trump’s a smart guy, that he’s surrounded himself with smart people, for the most part, and that he’ll make a smart decision here, whether I agree with it or not.

It’s not that I don’t think he’s capable of making a mistake, or that his every decision is above reproach, or that I think he’s playing 4D chess, or any other form of starry-eyed, star-struck delusions—it’s just that I believe he’s willing to listen, learn, and adjust accordingly, as any good leader does.

He’s also willing to stand his ground, which is another critical leadership quality.

Ultimately, it’s not my decision to make. I’m not too sure what to think about the decision that has been made, but honestly I don’t give a damn. I’m not looking for a gripe, and I’m not going to waste another breath on it.

This petty stuff will work itself out.

Now, about that “steaming pile of commie horse manure.”

That steaming pile of commie horse manure has long been sown into the Swamp. This fertile manure has already grown many crops, yielding a mighty bounty for the CCP for decades. This is not speculation, this is fact.

I’ve been calling out the commies for years, and anyone who knows anything, knows that a great number of our politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have already long been compromised. Those who have been with me may recall how obvious the infiltration is, as epitomized by this picture from a recent trip to DC:

That’s a communist flag in front of the White House. Looking at that picture today, it still feels just as wrong as it did the day I walked up and snapped the shot.

In my mind, this picture represents everything that’s wrong with America.

We’ve lost our ideological mooring. Too many people, millions of liberal Americans, have been conditioned to accept and support socialism—which, for the average citizen, is indistinguishable from Communism and Marxism.

But, as all red-blooded Americans know, these systems all seek to consolidate power and control in the hands of the state. Their core tenets are that of centralized planning and top-down control. It’s the idea that the State knows what’s best, and the peasants have a duty to fall in line. Of course, it’s always for the greater good.

It’s for equality. It’s to level the playing field. It’s to rein in the reckless free market and punish all those greedy capitalist pigs who are destroying the planet.

It doesn’t matter how detached from reality these ideas are, millions of minions are pining for these utopian fantasies. As always, they believe the ends justify the means. These are the useful idiots who are being leveraged against liberty loving Americans, so that the commies can “win the battle of democracy” and radically transform our nation by destroying “every aspect of existing society.”

That comes straight out of the Manifesto, as I’m sure many of you know. I’ve covered this many times before, so I’m not going to take the time to do so now.

Instead, I’d like to point out a theme I picked up on in today’s headlines. Along with the commie fox in the MAGA hen house story, there was this story out at Fox:

Schumer spotted posing for photo with CCP official as warnings swirl about China influence

And then there was this headline over at Drudge (the link goes here):

Everywhere I looked, it seemed like I was seeing commie red. It kind of reminds me of when I was writing about the “Real Red Wave,” exposing the many tactics being deployed by the CCP to capture American institutions, as well as the public narrative. This could all just be coincidence, I suppose, but it struck me just the same.

It would be foolish to underestimate the degree of communist infiltration.

It would also be foolish to overlook their main strategy, which is to divide and conquer. This is done through the manipulation of language and emotion. By changing language and stirring emotion, the enemies of freedom — global commies, state bureaucrats, etc. — turn people against each other.

That said, communist infiltration might best be understood as an infestation of erroneous and self-destructive thinking. It’s like the woke mind virus, which in this analogy, is little more than a subvariant of the broader Socialist Strain. In every case, no matter the name, the outcome is the same. Once infected, such thoughts subvert critical thinking and assimilate individuals into the Collective Hive Mind.

Another effect of such memetic infections, is the psychological damage caused by what amounts to quite literally tearing minds apart. People get confused and uncertain, which heightens suggestibility. They get stressed out and anxious, which further shuts down the ability to critically analyze available data.

The result is the mind collapsing out of exhaustion into a pre-determined, siloed perspective. At this point, embedded ideas proceed to exacerbate groupthink and elevate the sense of hostility toward those who think differently.

What’s important to realize, is that this isn’t just happening between the Left and the Right. The most pernicious applications of this scientific manipulation, lies in turning allies against each other by peeling away low propensity thinkers into increasingly bizarre worldviews that are rife with indefensible illusions.

In essence, those who deploy these tactics — commies and bureaucrats alike — are incessantly chipping away at would-be opposition, dividing liberty loving Americans into smaller and smaller and increasingly isolated groups. This, in turn, shatters unified fronts that carry the potential for enforcing actual reform.

Using Trump’s pick of Lori Chavez-DeRemer as an example, think about how quickly the big name pundits in the patriot movement have picked up on this. All of a sudden, millions of people are being hit with the reality that Trump may have made a big mistake. Maybe he was naive, maybe he was duped, or maybe it was intentional.

Either way, the outcome elevates suspicion and riles dissention in the ranks.

This tiny fissure, which may seem insignificant at first, then allows other streams of thoughts (many of which are weaponized memes) to infiltrate one’s thinking. Maybe Trump really is a Trojan Horse? Maybe he’s just an actor and this is really all just a big scam that’s meant to accelerate the forthcoming New World Order?

The point is, however, who the hell knows?

I don’t believe those statements are true, but many people, with every misstep being dog-piled by conservative pundits, the ranks of suspicion are bolstered.

Maybe this whole “winning” episode is scripted. Maybe it’s meant to stir up the violent revolution that has been meticulously primed and laying dormant for decades. Maybe, as some suggest, this is all being orchestrated by ‘Tiny Hats’ or billionaire Tech Bros who are pushing the peasants toward the edge of a tech-dystopian cliff.

Maybe.

Or, maybe Donald Trump is just a man on a mission, hellbent on Making America Great Again, and all of these swirling speculations are meant for nothing more than casting dispersion on the process, distracting and dividing the liberty movement.

Which seems more feasible to you?

My contention is that we need not speculate on such trivial matters. It’s like candy for the conspiratorial mind. It’s like crack-cocaine for those looking for a boogeyman.

Are there communists infiltrating the Trump administration?

You bet your ass there are—but for everyone of them trying to slither their way in at this point, there are thousands already embedded within the bureaucracy.

More importantly, by dropping the labels and just looking at intent, we can see that Marxist/Socialist/Communist ideology has long had deep roots in American thinking, from the level of the general public to the heights of political prestige. Furthermore, these infectious ideas have long been promulgated on Capitol Hill, across the political spectrum, and have been steering our public policy for decades.

So, where does that leave us?

Are we lost in the fog of a fake reality, marooned on an island of false hope, stranded in a sea of fictitious solutions?

Perhaps.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The situation is bad, but it’s incrementally getting better (if we consider fraud coming to light a positive development), and above all of this, life is still good. Spring is just around the corner. It’s an exciting time to be alive.

To maintain the energy needed for this long, uphill battle, it is imperative that we remain rooted in reality, grounded in gratitude, and balanced in perspective. Eyes wide open, we must question everything and hold fast to that which stands the test of time. The truth exists, whether we know it or not, and nothing is as it seems.

RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 673 - Deep State Propaganda & "The Greatest Fraud in American History"

Luke Throop — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:19:41 GMT

Boom.

Elon Musk just dropped another bombshell DOGE report revealing that 20 MILLION PEOPLE over the age of 100 years old—some of whom are said to be over the age of 140—are actively collecting Social Security benefits. On top of that, the report indicates Social Security has over 394 million people in their database, while the U.S. population is a mere 334 million, yielding a shocking 60-million-person discrepancy.

The skeptical peasant may wonder if this points to the presence of 60 million illegal aliens being issued social security numbers so they could collect our tax dollars?

Regardless, Musk claims “this might be the biggest fraud in history.”

“Yes, there are FAR more "eligible" social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA. This might be the biggest fraud in history.”
—Elon Musk

To the point I was making yesterday, about how people should be hopping mad about this absolutely gross degree of fraud and corruption, check out this sentiment from the comments section:

Think about how every single time anyone even mentions looking into the runaway train of entitlements funneled through Social Security, Democrats start running around like their hair is on fire, screeching about how Republicans are trying to kill grandma. Do you really think it’s possible that this level of fraud could have been happening, obviously for decades, and nobody knew what was going on?

Is it any coincidence that the acting commissioner of Social Security has just “stepped down” after failing to block DOGE from exposing this heinous corruption?

How many of 60 million fabricated social security numbers do you think have managed to make their way onto democrat voter rolls?

Again, speaking to the point I was making yesterday, the American people should be absolutely outraged, regardless of their political affiliation. Unfortunately, millions upon millions of American men have been feminized to the point they lack the sack to push back. In fact, sports media mogul Clay Travis humorously called this out on a recent University of Chicago Institute of Politics panel, much to the shock of the many liberals in attendance:

“Democrats for men are p*ssies, and Republicans aren’t.”

He explained, in a refreshingly manly fashion:

“Who is the most masculine Democrat right now in America? [Gay] Mayor Pete? Nobody’s like, oh, [Gay] Mayor Pete, he’s a badass.”

Pure gold—but unfortunately, it wasn’t well received. The liberal feminists on the panel thought he was making a “gay joke,” no doubt a sign of his toxic masculinity.

Signs of the times I suppose. It’s funny, but not funny, considering the implications. One must keep in mind that these feminized liberal men still vote in droves—and since they know they’d inevitably lose without help, they’ve allied with an army of illegals, freaks, and environmental wackos to help them win elections.

This brings up a point that I think all too often gets overlooked. It’s been awhile, but long-time subscribers may recall the gist of TR 269 - Country Folk vs The Global Cabal, which emphasized the population disparities between red-blooded rural counties and the big, blue, metropolitan cesspools.

The largest 20 counties in the U.S. are home to over 60 million people.

Conversely, 80% of the counties in our nation have less than 100K people.

Think about that.

This cuts to the bone of America’s political divide.

Take a look at this graph:

Along with showing massive fraud and a rigged 2020 election, wherein the “most popular sock-puppet ever elected” beat Trump by some 7 million votes, it also shows Trump winning the 2024 popular vote by a margin of merely 2 million or so voters.

The point is, this margin of victory is undoubtedly decided in urban areas.

Coming at it from a different angle, just to dork out on the numbers for a moment, 2,533 counties have a population of LESS than 100K. That’s 80% of the 3,143 counties in America, if you do the math, which means that we are an overwhelmingly rural nation. But, even IF every single one of these counties had a 100% voter turnout, and 100% voted conservative—which is 100% statistically impossible—that still only amounts to a drop in the pond of all potential voters.

This is why politicians tend to ignore the rural peasants.

Nevertheless, so as not to be dismayed, we rural Americans do have a major part to play in the saving of our nation. By virtue of not being in an urban area, by not being inundated with the 24-7 socialist propaganda being pumped into the metro areas, we have the distinct advantage of retaining some vestige of the original American Spirit.

Also, by being more grounded in Natural Reality, as opposed to living in a concrete jungle, we are more apt to retain the natural attributes of being men and women, hold fast to the timeless values of faith and family, and have greater resilience against the woke mind virus.

That means that rural America is a repository for original American thinking.

“It’s a free country, do what you want.”

My philosophical itch wants to parse the distinction between Natural Reality—that which exists independent of human interpretation—and reality as it is percieved by the masses, but I’m going to refrain for today. Instead, I’d like to turn attention toward some of the propaganda that’s being spewed in the headline news.

Let’s zoom out.

First up, let’s take a look at the spin coming out of Fox News:

It is hugely disappointing, but not at all surprising, that Fox is still pushing the Russia! Russia! Russia! sentiment. What do you think Americans are supposed to think and feel when they read the headline, “Putin eyes electing puppet president”?

Keep in mind that Fox is a mouthpiece for the globalists’ Trusted News Initiative. They are bed-buddies with NATO, the MIC, and all the neo-con warhawks.

The impression is that Putin is bad, and that Trump is about to betray the great defender of democracy, Vlodymyr ‘The Jackass’ Zelensky. In the image, Zelensky looks puzzled yet determined, Putin looks smug and condescending, and both men are leering at Trump, who’s expression appears, well, somewhat orange.

In case you haven’t been keeping track, the United States helped overthrow the democratically elected president of Ukraine by funding and facilitating a successful Color Revolution back in 2014. You can read the Ukraine Special Report if you are unfamiliar with this history, it’s lengthy, but it lines out all the details and the key players involved:

Between then and now, for the last ten years, the U.S. Deep State has built over 40 biolabs in the country and used them as a launch pad for a proxy war against the alleged Evil Russian Tyrant. Details on the biolabs and the connection between all of this and the Biden family crime syndicate are in the following reports:

More recently, in TR 618, I uncovered an even more disturbing connection between the Deep State and the corruption in Ukraine:

In a very fascinating twist, according to the CIA, there may have been “mass production of psychotronic generators” happening in Kiev, as far back as the early 1990s. Add that tidbit to the 46 known US funded biolabs scattered throughout the region, and the entire narrative surrounding Russia and Ukraine gets sketchy.

So, never mind the fact that Zelensky has CANCELED ELECTIONS to stay in office, or the fact that he’s just a paid actor and coked-out globalist whore, Fox News will have you believe that it’s Putin who’s eyes are on “electing a puppet president.”

Cue the howls of protest and the need for even more funding for Ukrainian corruption—despite the fact that Zelensky himself has admitted that he has no clue where the $100 billion of taxpayer dollars already sent have gone:

“…today we hear from the United States that America has given Ukraine hundreds of billions, 177 billion to be more precise. This was the exact figure that Congress supported or voted for... Look, I, as the president of a belligerent country, am telling you that 100 billion of these 177 (billion), or 200 (billion), even some people say, we have never received. When they say that Ukraine received 200 billion during the war to support the army and so on, this is not true. I do not know where all this money is.”

Straight from the horse’s mouth.

Many, including comedian Rob Schneider, have suggested that these missing billions have been blown straight up his nose:

" Zelensky is obviously a cokehead. All the signs are there. You give him a billion dollars, and the next week he's broke. He’s always wearing the same dirty t-shirt… he’s always saying delusion shit like ‘I’m going to defeat Russia.’ " —Rob Schneider

On a more serious note, referencing none other than the USAID’s own website, we can see the long-arm of the global cabal hard at work in Ukraine:

“Since 2014, USAID/OTI has supported the country’s transformation to a modern, democratic country… by supporting fact-based media, which provides alternative narratives on national unity and the country’s ongoing transformation.
USAID/OTI partners with Ukrainians to expand acceptance of a pluralistic civic identity based on common values by supporting actors that promote unity, inclusion, and democratic reform. By empowering moderate actors…

—PAUSE: Zelensky was an actor who played president on TV, FYI.

Continuing on from the USAID:

“The program’s three objectives are to:
Build acceptance of a diverse Ukraine;
Increase confidence in positive, democratic change; and
Increase media narratives about unity and positive change.
… An external evaluation of this initiative found that USAID/OTI’s work contributed to an identity shift and increased tolerance for western-leaning attitudes over the past three years.”

So there you have it. The Deep State overthrew the Ukrainian government, installed a cokehead actor (more commonly known for playing the piano with his dick) as president, and then set to work transforming the Ukrainian public psyche by increasing media narratives (aka propaganda) to build a diverse and inclusive Ukraine.

They even go so far as to tout this cultural “identity shift” as a one of the “tangible dividends of the reform process.” Americans take note!

It’s sad if you think about it.

It’s infuriating when you realize they’ve done the exact same thing right here at home.

There’s a lot more happening in the world than can be covered in a single report, like the $4.7 trillion dollars that DOGE discovered has disappeared into an untraceable government black hole, the world’s largest religious gathering becoming “trans inclusive” after much protest, and the imminent dangers of the forthcoming global digital IDs, but we’ll have to set that all aside for today.

I’d like to end by circling back to the beginning.

Not only are we seeing “the greatest fraud in American history” coming to light, we now know that we have collectively been subjected to the greatest, most sustained psychological operation ever conducted in human history.

In a nutshell, we have been fleeced in a scientific fashion.

We’ve been lulled to sleep by the droning distractions, lied to, stolen from, and walked on by the boots of tyrants and corrupt politicians who’ve squandered our wealth and destroyed our way of life in their never ending quest for more power and control.

Like the anonymous comment made at the outset, We the People should be pissed.

The penalty for treason is still on the books.

Stay wise friends, and keep a keen eye out for any sort of real accountability. In my mind, that is the only metric by which we can measure our success in restoring the United States of America.

RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 672 - On Kicking Ass and Instilling Some Much Needed Respect

Luke Throop — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 19:44:37 GMT

I love the winning.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen any of the footage of Team USA putting the smack down on the Canadian hockey team after they booed the National Anthem. There were three fights in the first ten seconds, where some good old boys drop the gloves and then dropped those smug Canadian cucks to the ice, beat their ass, before going on to out play them at their own game, winning in a decisive 3-1 victory.

It was glorious.

The Gateway Pundit has a great article showing the highlights:

The feedback on social media was stellar, and there are a lot of video compilations out there, but if you’ve got a few minutes, watch this 3-minute video—with Free Bird blasting in the background, and hard-hitting All-American footage playing across the screen, it’s enough to bring a tear to any patriot’s eye!

The American Way is back in style.

“We’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way!”
—Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue

I am reminded of a touching story, from the days when my family and I hailed from the great state of Idaho. It was Veterans Day in my daughter’s sixth grade year, and we were at the school assembly. The gymnasium was brimming with patriotism, and being a vet myself, I stood alongside many other brave men and women who had served their country in hellholes around the world and right here at home.

As slides played across the screen, the students came up to claim their vets. As my daughter stood in front of me, I put my arms around her and had my hand on her heart. It was beating with American pride. The tears in her eyes brought tears to mine, as the whole place sang “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget, the men who died, who gave that right to me!”

The emotion in the room was palpable.

Thinking back on the sweetness of that moment, what sticks with me the most was how much those kids loved their country. They were truly proud to be Americans because they had been raised to believe the very best about our country, as all kids should. As veterans, we embodied for them what love of country is supposed to look like: it’s fearless self-sacrifice to serve and protect and defend the freedoms of all.

This morning, when I ran across that patriotic video linked above, I felt the same wave of emotion that I feel when I look at that picture. It is a very distinct feeling, a beaming of pride, a chest-pounding I AM an American, and I will fight to the death to defend my family, my freedoms, and the country I love.

Don’t fuck with the U.S. of A!

I’m certain that is what those hockey players were feeling too.

You boo my flag, I’ll beat your ass!!

… and so they did.

Growing up in Alaska, I played hockey. More memorable than any of the games was the “locker boxing” that went down after practice. With nothing but hockey gloves and helmets—which didn’t stay on long—and of course, a group of rowdy, testosterone filled teenage boys hooting and hollering and cheering us on, one young man after another would square off to determine, definitively, who the top dog really was.

Many years later, after my time in the Army (which, in full disclosure, involved a lot of bar fights and some unsanctioned boxing), I found myself confronted by a couple of bad dudes in a small town bar. They seemed hellbent on picking a fight, because I was an outsider, just passing through, but passing through on their turf.

I turned to the bigger, uglier one and said: “You look like you might be the top dog around here. Where I come from, I’m the top dog, so how about I buy you a beer?”

That went over just about how I expected, and in a flash, it was on. It’s common these days to hear people say FAFO—Fuck Around and Find Out—and that’s exactly what happened. It sure as hell wasn’t my first rodeo, he swung, I ducked, and before I knew it people were dragging me off the guy and throwing me out the back door.

To the man’s credit, he wasn’t about to give up. Even though I had just been pounding his face into the floor, as they grabbed me and dragged me off, he grabbed ahold of my leg and proceeded to lay a wicked horse bite on my thigh. I kneed him in the face with my other leg, he let go, and out the backdoor I went.

Ah, the good old days.

Here’s the point: that whole scene was as American as apple pie.

American men are meant to be fighters. We are meant to be fierce and fearless. We are meant to be mighty protectors, to stand up and literally FIGHT for what’s right.

“You’ve gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaaarrrtay!”
—The Beastie Boys

In the natural world, it is the righteous aggression of good men that maintains balance and upholds justice. Without this righteous aggression, the balance tilts towards those who will rape and pillage the village, who exploit our children, steal our money, and trample our rights.

In other words, without righteous aggression, politicians and criminals run amok—which is exactly what’s been happening, is it not?

If it’s not already perfectly obvious, this is why socialist democrats have been demonizing “toxic masculinity” and wussy-fying young men for generations. The entire transgender nonsense is the hideous and embarrassing culmination of this, wherein young men have been so heavily indoctrinated, they willingly castrate themselves and yearn to breast feed babies.

It’s disgusting. It’s wrong. It’s evil.

Backing off from the extreme, we still see in the mainstream men who are cowards, who cower before their feminist wives, their bosses, and the criminal elements of society. We see men who are too chickenshit to stand up to the thugs who steal and smash things in broad daylight, who disrespect the flag and destroy things at will.

They’d rather video a woman getting dragged off and raped than risk getting hurt by doing the right thing. It’s despicable.

“All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing”
—Edmond Burke

Of course, this is mostly an urban phenomenon. Another song comes to mind:

“Try that in a small town.”

Isn’t it something, how rural Americans seem to have retained the original fighting spirit? Isn’t it true, that now more than ever, we need this fighting spirit to rise?

While Trump and his team continue to clean house in the political arena, wiping the mat with the pansy-ass, snowflake liberal lawmakers and lifetime bureaucrats who’ve been diligently destroying our country for generations, I believe the real fight for justice has yet to be had. Treason abounds, and real accountability is unlikely to be upheld by the corrupted courts and endless legal bickering.

Those who have been intentionally attacking the country we love deserve to be punched in the face, or worse. There needs to be, in my peasant mind, a righteous ass-kicking if we really want these punks to be put in their place.

Lest I be misperceived as simply stirring the pot, these two timeless quotes from Thomas Jefferson come to mind:

“God forbid we ever go twenty years without a rebellion.”
“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

In reaching for the right words, I wonder what percentage of American men still retain this spirit of resistance. I wonder if, at some point in the future, the men of rural America will realize just how badly they’ve been abused and bamboozled.

I wonder how long they will standby silently, as more and more crimes come to light.

The American people should be outraged at what DOGE has uncovered. Rather than hopping up and down like we’re cheering for our favorite sports team (the MAGA movement), we should be hopping mad about what has been done.

The historic indignation over “taxation without representation” should be the only precedent we need to consider, to see clearly how terribly we’ve been wronged.

Consider a few items from the latest list of treasonous and wasteful spending of your hard-earned dollars, from the USAID alone, according to the White House website:

$1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
$70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
$2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
$47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
$32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
$2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

This is just the tip of a very sickening ice burg.

DOGE—the infamous Department Of Government Efficiency, for anyone who may have been living under a rock for the last month—has uncovered a gross degree of corruption, including thousands upon thousands of unconstitutional regulation that have been implemented by unelected bureaucrats.

It’s not just wasteful spending, it’s been a treasonous takeover of the American way.

But, while there is a fairly civil reckoning taking place, the reality of the situation is that the perpetrators of these crimes are simply being released back into the wild. In fact, internet searches for “bleach bit” and “criminal defense lawyers” have skyrocketed in the Swamp since this federal purge began.

In other words, the criminals are looking to conceal their crimes—they’re planning on getting away with it, and there’s no doubt they’ll regroup and strike again.

Meanwhile, MAGA continues to be mocked by the media and high-profile schmucks like Tom Hanks, and leftist calls for violence continue unabated. One Brooklyn “comedian” has even gone so far as to openly call for assassination:

“Listen, all the Elon/Trump stuff is getting to a point, man…somebody’s gonna have to just throw their life away on this. Just kind of take one for the team.
Somebody’s just got to go in there and make history. You know who you are; just buck up and do your duty.”

Take one for the team?

Clearly this asshole is not on Team USA.

Same goes for millions upon millions of so-called “Americans.”

The socialist rot runs deep.

Which is why, before all is said and done, I believe natural order must be restored. What that looks like exactly, I’ll leave up to the imagination. We are a nation at war, and though the pot is bubbling hot, it’s yet to completely boil over.

“The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.”
—D.H. Lawrence

I suppose seeing those hockey players instilling some much-needed respect stirred something up in me this morning. I am reminded of what it feels like to get punched in the face, and what it feels like to fight back and win.

My warrior spirit roars: “Give me liberty or give me death! I will live free or die!!”

That IS the battle cry of the American Spirit.

And all at once I sense that the hardest days are ahead of us. Will we have the fortitude and resolve to defend the Constitution and fully restore our Republic?

It’s probably a good time to contemplate what that might actually look like. This is a game for all the marbles, and before it’s all over, it’ll probably come to blows.

All that said, there is still a peaceful path forward.

If you’re reading and willing to fight, you might consider reflecting on what it will really take to defeat tyranny, for good, and what you can do now to make that happen:

Remember, resistance is the spice of life, and therefore, RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 671 - How the Deep State Might Thwart Trump with an Existential Crisis

Luke Throop — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 18:45:45 GMT

The Times They Are A-Changin’

It’s Friday, and there are a couple of things that have been on my radar that I’ve been keeping on the back burner. One is the looming risk the powers that be might try to yank the rug out from under Donald Trump by intentionally tanking the economy. The other is the gradual drip, drip, drip of fearmongering headlines about bird flu.

Granted, most people in the MAGA crowd are probably not staying tuned into these stories, because they’re too busy keeping track of all the winning. However, we’d all be wise to stay loosely apprised of what’s being fed into the minds of the masses, and also keep tabs on the more astute financial analysis provided by clear-minded thinkers.

Along with a hefty dose of liberal lawmakers screeching about America being in a “constitutional crisis” and their growing calls for violence—one jackass Democrat has openly called for the use of weapons against Musk, live on CNN—the other major thread of thought that’s being sown into the left’s collective psyche is that Trump’s funding cuts are going to exacerbate the bird flu into an “existential crisis.”

I’ll give you a taste of what many lefties are reading:

To be clear, I believe this propaganda is laying the groundwork for another pandemic. Whether or not they actually pull the trigger and try to use the pandemic playbook to undermine Trump between now and the midterms is a matter of speculation. These recent headlines point toward the possibility:

If you’ve been with me for a while, you may recall I’ve been documenting the perfectly timed release of this steady drip reaching back into last summer. TR 635 - Bird Flu, Bread Crumbs, & More Bizarre Coincidence outlines the stories leading up to the election, by date, which includes cats and dogs infecting their owners and other cross-species infections that have led to over a dozen human cases and counting.

I have a nagging suspicion that algorithms are being deployed to gauge the public reaction to these stories, and that once they feel like they’ve got enough traction to launch into full-blown pandemic mode, they won’t hesitate to do so—but they have to prime the minds of enough useful idiots first, in order for the psyop to take.

The narrative surrounding the second issue, the use of a financial collapse to thwart Trump’s winning, has also been carefully constructed. You might remember all the talk of how Trump was inheriting a “remarkable” economy leading up to the election, as noted in my Election Day post:

I then contrasted this egregious gaslighting with the harsh reality of the real financial situation:

Of course, the economy didn’t collapse into a major crisis in 2024—which naturally leads to the question: what are the chances that it’s going to happen in 2025?

I’d say that it’s more likely than not, but then again, I’m just an ignorant peasant speculating on things way beyond my pay grade. But, within this vein, here is some of what the “experts” have been saying over just the last week:

It kind of seems the writing is on the wall, doesn’t it?

Regardless, right now insiders are claiming that the Deep State has finally met its match with Elon Musk—maybe… but I think that as Musk continues to move quickly and works to “delete entire agencies,” we are going to start to see the true extent of just how far the ruling class will go to protect their own.

Each day DOGE continues to uncover rampant fraud, like Biden’s illegal immigration funding machine, for example, and they have begun investigating the bureaucratic stooges who’ve grown fat off decades of systemic corruption. This is great news.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump just unleashed Mel Gibson to pull a Braveheart on the pedophile elites lurking in Hollywood, which seems to have Mickey worried:

My hope is that Mel exposes the darkness for what it is—which is pure evil—and manages to save more exploited children from Hollywood’s Satanic practices.

It will be fascinating to see how many rich and powerful people are ultimately caught up and implicated by these heinous atrocities. At any rate, what we are witnessing is a full-frontal assault on leftist institutions. It’s exciting and long overdue, but, as I’ve been saying, there is no doubt in my mind that it will come at a cost.

Other pundits are starting to tune into this fact too, asking the very real question:

Where Are the Protests and Riots Over Trump, Musk and DOGE?

They’re coming.

There’s no doubt in my mind they’re coming. What remains to be seen, in my mind, is which of the Deep State tactics get deployed in tandem. As we’ve seen, it appears that bird flu and economic collapse might well play into it.

Of course, there’s also the disturbing possibility that the Deep State goes straight for the throat by orchestrating a major false flag, successful assassination, or some other drastic measure that’s meant to shock the public back into submission.

Matter of fact, I ran across an article this morning that had a video of Mike Benz reading straight out of the CIA’s assassination manual—which probably has nothing to do with the 2,400 “newly discovered” JFK files that were just released, but the timing is interesting to me just the same.

Dark possibilities abound.

The good news is, for the time being, the winning continues to pick up speed:

Trump is scheduled to meet with Putin (even as the Dems claim that he “literally appears to be negotiating on behalf of Putin”);
RFK Jr. has been confirmed as the new HHS secretary (even though Mitch The Glitch McConnell voted against him);
Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, and Pam Bondi have been sworn in as Director of National Intelligence, Secretary of Homeland Security, and U.S. Attorney General respectively (these women are set to kick some serious ass);
Some 75,000 federal employees have taken Trump’s buy-out offer, ahead of his Feb. 11th Executive Order forcing agency heads to “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force.”

On top of all this, and so much more, Trump has flexed his executive muscle with a flurry of some 98 executive actions as of yesterday, February 13th—which has the Democrats scrambling and the bureaucratic parasites scrambling like cockroaches.

It’s an exciting time to be alive.

Friends, there is so much happening so fast, it’s impossible to keep up with it all—which, of course, is precisely the point. This is why the Trump Team is moving hard and fast, to outpace the Deep State and their media allies. It’s all good stuff, but it does ratchet up the tension and sense of desperation among establishment figures.

I think of what’s happening kind of like cornering a wounded animal.

There is no telling what their next move might be.

That said, it’s snowing and I’ve got work to do. I’ll leave you with a few lines from the Great American Bard, Bob Dylan, who I didn’t realize had won the Nobel Prize in literature. I’m sharing this because it was the song in my head when I woke up this morning, and I think it speaks to the moment in a foretelling sort of way:

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
…
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

TR 670 - On Infectious Ideas and Natural Solutions to the Calls for Leftist Violence

Luke Throop — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 19:15:39 GMT

Echo chambers.

All I hear when I listen to the news, when I tune into both liberal and conservative pundits, when I flip through the stories and videos on X, are a whole lot of fading echos. I hear the echos of thoughts that must have come from somewhere, but that 99% of the time are certainly not coming from the people flapping their gums.

How do I know this?

Because they are all repeating the same phrases, using the same words, and even mimicking the same emotional intonations and facial expressions.

This mimicking is perfectly natural human behavior. It starts in infancy and continues throughout our entire lives. We cannot help but to mimic, to pick up on words and phrases, or begin mirroring the emotion and expressions of others. There is no shame in doing so, because we are biologically hardwired to do exactly that.

In fact, this phenomenon is pervasive throughout the natural world, throughout the infinite variety of animal and plant life, right down to the cellular level. The science of all of this has been thoroughly studied, and the implications are astounding.

BUT… what does any of this have to do with Donald Trump, DOGE, and getting our country back on track, right? I’m sure that’s what you’d like to know.

The simple answer, is that our biological predilection for mimicry is being exploited by the global cabal through the use of memetic warfare. Put differently, the powers that be are hijacking human nature, at the deepest levels, to consolidate control.

As I watched a bit of the DOGE committee hearing this morning, what struck me the most was that neither side was listening—for the most part, they were all just mimicking and regurgitating the talking points fed to them by staff, who in turn likely pulled the language from “trusted” news sources, which have become the wellspring of globalist propaganda.

Before proceeding, I want to make a few things perfectly clear:

There is almost always a thread of truth in any propaganda.
Propaganda is a tool that is used by powers on both left and right.
Propaganda itself is not synonymous with memetic warfare.

To the last point first, the way that memetic warfare works is by introducing a thought that has been scientifically calculated to capture attention. This is why DARPA spent millions of taxpayer dollars developing Military Grade Memes that guarantee these carefully calculated infectious ideas will spread.

Once these mental worms infect the mind, once these scientific memes take hold, they skillfully direct one’s attention toward the targeted thought, while simultaneously defending against attacks from logic and counter-narratives. This is done by using specific language to activate certain parts of the brain and emotionally charge the mind, thereby shutting down the ability to think for one’s self.

Along with heightening suggestibility, and thus susceptibility to further deception, this form of mental attack also begins to crowd the mind as the memes (again, in the scientific sense) rapidly replicate in order to propagate and spread. The result is mental pressure, which often manifests as blurting out regurgitated talking points.

I’ll venture to guess that most people have never thought about thoughts like this, because most people are not acquainted with the science of memetics. To give you a taste of the longstanding science, consider this excerpt from TR 301 - Memes, Memetics, & Mental Warfare:

“As I began to dig into this new world of memetics, I learned that the origin of the word “meme” stretches back to the turn of the 20th century… Decades later the definition of a meme settled somewhat loosely to mean “a unit of information residing in the brain that is the mutating replicator in human cultural evolution.
…
The strongest memes – those that replicate in the most minds – are the ones responsible for creating human culture.”

Keep in mind, memetic science existed long before the internet. In fact, I was first introduced to the idea by a book titled Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme, written by Microsoft engineer Richard Brodie back in 1996. Brodie used the term “virus of the mind” way before people started noticing the “woke mind virus.”

The Journal of Memetics was an open access, peer-reviewed academic journal that was active between 1997 and 2005, ran by globalists from MIT and elsewhere. Soon after, military departments began integrating this new science into tactics for psychological warfare, and by 2012 we had DARPA’s military-grade memes that could “assure propagation of an idea” and “influence beliefs in a scientific way.”

Please take a moment to let these disturbing facts stick firmly in your mind.

Now let’s take it one step further.

Consider the implications from the following slide on DARPA memetics:

What do we learn?

“Memes can be transmitted without true communication. The sender can pass memes to the receiver using deception…”
“Memes might be diffused through a population without overt imitation by receivers…”
“Memetic mutations [changes in thought] can be directed by purposeful human decision-making as well as by random processes…”
“With directed (Lamarckian) processess, memetics becomes analogous to genetic engineering.”

In other words, under control of the deep state and global cabal, evildoers are capable of using the science of memetics for the purpose of genetic engineering.

And no doubt they are.

Honing in on the unfamiliar term Lamarckian processesses for a moment, the science here is that of how an “inheritance of acquired characteristics” passes from one generation to the next. In the context of thought, the implication is that memetics (infectious ideas) pass from one generation to the next as well.

More importantly, just like genetic blue prints get recycled from one species to the next—think about the bone structure of a hand also being in the fin of a whale, for example—so too do structures of thinking get passed along, not just from one biological generation to the next, but from one news cycle to the next.

Memetic evolution happens at the pace of racing thoughts, in a virtually identical manner as viruses mutate from one infection to the next. Mind boggling.

Which brings me back to the rat race, the DOGE hearings, and the “soft civil war” that is currently ripping our country apart. Just as people are willing to kill and die for their religious beliefs, many people can be radicalized to the point of killing and dying for their memetic beliefs—that is, for the infectious ideas that are driving them mad.

Every time you see a purple-haired minion erupt on social media in an uncontrollable emotional outburst, you are witnessing the very real effects of memetic warfare.

Same goes for those screeching about DEI being dismantled, environmental policies getting eviscerated, and men being told they can no longer compete in women’s sports.

At every turn, we see the effects of memetic warfare on full display.

The point I’m trying to make today, is that these people have been intentionally infected by subversive, destructive ideas, for the purpose of both genetic and social engineering. Their brains have literally been rewired, to advance the globalists’ anti-human agenda (mass depopulation) and destabilize Western society.

The destabilization of Western society and destruction of the United States is necessary to implement Global Digital Governance and impose the techo-dystopian hell known as Future Earth—their words not mine—complete with the inescapable global surveillance state erected to enforce socialism on a planetary scale.

In all truth, even with all the winning, America is woefully unprepared to contend with this issue—which accounts for so much of the smugness among the elite.

The memes that undermine American culture are already in circulation, mutating and spreading at an incomprehensible rate. No amount of government restructuring is going to stop this process from playing out. What’s in motion will stay in motion.

The result will be nothing less than violence in the streets.

I’ve said as much in several recent reports, but Larry Klayman, attorney and founder of Judicial Watch, dropped a piece today that really spells it out. Titled The Left Will Push Violent Revolution Against Trump, Klayman says this:

“We are going to be in a violent revolution, potentially in short order. . . . The Left is pushing too hard right now, and they are going to start the violence like they did with Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Look what happened in Philadelphia when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Lawless, leftist thugs burned down Broad Street. . . . This is a situation that can only spin more wildly out of control the more Trump pushes. . . .It’s getting to a very dangerous phase. . . The Left wants us dead — they really do. They want to have complete control. Now that control has been taken away from them in an election, they are not going to go quietly. If they don’t get what they want in court, and they probably won’t, they are going to be violent, and this could ratchet up more and more.”

The more I think about this terrible and likely potential through the lens of memetics, I am persuaded that it cannot be any other way—and that those who’ve sown these radically divisive thoughts have known exactly that, for a long, long time.

Having revisited my prior research on memetics, with the reality of this being genetic engineering fresh in my mind, I wonder about possible solutions. Democrat leaders have notoriously called for the formal deprogramming of Trump supporters, which is an absolutely heinous suggestion that I would not dare reciprocate.

However, we have to do something.

We have to do more than mimic all the winning. We have to do more than talk in circles about things that have already been said. As entertaining as it is, this is fruitless in the face of the forces that we are up against.

They’ve poisoned countless minds with this dark science, and the poison is still spreading. The emotional contagion is real, and it’s really about to erupt.

Reflecting upon Nature and nature’s ways, perhaps blood-letting will prove to be the natural remedy for this wholly unnatural problem. Only time will tell. In a poetic sense, it seems fitting that the Tree of Liberty, parched as she may be, may still hold the answer after all these years.

RESIST WE MUST!!

TR 669 - The Big Story That's Still Being Missed in the Midst of all the Winning

Luke Throop — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 18:48:56 GMT

Take a guess.

What do you think the summer of 2025 is going to be like? Do you think it will be a 1967 style Summer of Love, or a 2020 style Summer of Rage?

Obviously, I only ask this rhetorical question to get your wheels turning. When wrapping the mind around all that’s in motion, to the best of our limited abilities, we’d be wise to look ahead, just a little, to speculate on where this is all going.

Looking too far ahead, things get clouded by uncertainties. It’s hard to imagine, for example, where the world will be in 2030, at the culmination of the Great Reset. How many countries are going to steam roll common sense and usurp the will of the people to comply? Right now in Great Britain, they’re doubling down on the stupidity of Net Zero policies, and banning the sale of gas and diesel motors by 2030.

The UK farmers are pushing back, descending upon Westminster with their tractors, yet again, but will they be able to stop the insanity?

Part of me wonders if Americans living under similar tyranny in blue states will ever take their lead and mount similar demonstrations—but I won’t hold my breath.

That said, at the end of last year I recall reading an article about the “most important thing” that nobody was talking about, which called out the Great Reset specifically. It was good enough, I had to look it up, because the perspective bears repeating.

After casting aside the “big stories” like the war in Ukraine, Gaza, the elections, advances in artificial intelligence, the author drills down through the “sound and fury and all that signifies” to deliver some important substance:

The Big Story Of 2024 That Nobody Is Talking About

“No, the important story of 2024 was The Great Reset.
Remember that? It was this pan-global supranational plan to tear down and then rebuild society in a “sustainable”, “inclusive”, “fair” and “secure” way that would – totally accidentally – eradicate civil liberties and individual freedom for every single person on the planet.
It was all the rage a few years ago, you might remember. But when it didn’t go over too well with a lot of people, the powers that be dropped the subject and there’s been very little talk about it since 2022.
Does that mean it’s gone away?”

I’ll reiterate the question: just because nobody is talking about the Great Reset, does that mean that the globalists have abandoned their agenda? Has the global cabal been thwarted by the election of Donald Trump? Have they disbanded and accepted the error of their ways?

Of course not.

What every American needs to realize is, the fact that we elected Donald Trump as president doesn’t mean that these people are going away. These are very powerful people, and their so-called “secret cabal” is deeply entrenched in global affairs.

They have collectively been conspiring against the United States for decades, perhaps a century or more, and their tentacles reach much farther than most people realize. It is necessary to hold this macro-level perspective in mind when evaluating the rapid series of events that is currently taking American politics by storm.

Celebrate the winning, but don’t take your eye off the ball.

Yesterday, I wrote about the intentional stoking of racial division and the Democrats launching their “soft civil war.” Today, I’d like to point out the many calls for violence, protests, and “fighting in the streets” being made by democrat politicians:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is calling for widespread resistance to Trump’s agenda, stating, “We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”
Congressional Representative Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) used the same language yesterday, riling up his supporters for a “street fight” against all things MAGA.
Meanwile, Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) tells her unhinged constituents “we are at war,” screeching into the microphone, “God damn it, shut down the city!”

Examples abound, and then right along side them, the media is fanning the flames:

So again, I ask you: what do you think this summer is going to look like?

Can you see how the enemies of freedom are mobilizing? Can you see how the media is fanning the flames? Is it not obvious that they are looking ahead and already planning to unleash all hell?

Let’s return to the macro-level perspective: how might all of these protests, which will undoubtedly turn violent, by design, be leveraged by global forces?

What are the chances that all of this violence is being orchestrated by global forces?

What strings might the globalists pull to capitalize on this coming violence?

The answer is: we don’t know.

What we do know, is that they’ll never let a good crisis go to waste. We do know that they are aligned with, and funding, the anti-American forces within our own borders.

We also know that financial analysts are warning of a massive global recession in 2025, and that fiscal retaliation by global bankers is certainly on the table.

Same goes for a cyberattack of some kind, or another bioweapon of some sort.

But trumping all of that, we also know that Donald Trump and his team are going to fight like hell against any and all of the above—pun intended. We also know that the American people have a fresh appetite for drastic, unprecedented action, which means there is a significant chance that something truly unexpected might happen.

Worming its way into my mind is the possibility of more assassination attempts.

Just today, the FBI says it miraculously found 2,400 new records related to the assassination of JFK. After all these years, what a strange coincidence, right?

One might wonder if it will take them another 60 years to miraculously find all the files relating to the two Deep State assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

The point that needs to be made here, is that Donald Trump is precisely the kind of leader that we need to help restore the Republic—and he is precisely the kind of leader that globalist forces fear the most. This puts him in a very dangerous position, which we know he is well aware of.

Let me ask you: can you imagine if Trump was actually taken out?

How might that all play out?

There is no way of knowing for sure, but we can know for certain that it would be ugly. It would plunge us into the darkest of days, and very few would be prepared. The chaos that would be unleashed would reshape the whole history of humanity.

And isn’t that what the globalists are trying to do, to reshape the whole of humanity?

Indeed they are, but while the “ends justify the means,” the truth of the matter is that this group of elite evildoers actually prefer more methodical methods for achieving their goals. Think Algorithmic Social Interventions, Vertical Integration, and the social engineering on a planetary scale. Think Military Grade Memes, Fifth Generation Warfare, and thought control with scientific precision.

Think global control at the local level, and realize that it’s already happening. Realize that Artificial Intelligence is capable of changing political beliefs, and keep in mind the end game is total control over a reduced population of Cosmopolitan Peasants.

In other words, whether or not Trump is taken out, or whether or not he ultimately proves successful in correcting course for the foreseeable future, these vectors are still very much in play, and the cabal still has a plan to conquer us all.

I’m not trying to be a negative ninny or piss on the winning parade, I’m just trying to recalibrate perspectives, because these things are not going away. Just because they are not being talked about by the vast majority of pundits, certainly does not mean these forces are not coming to bear on how all this plays out.

That’s where you and I come in.

To be on the cutting edge of societal evolution—to borrow a phrase from Maha Rushi—is a lonely place to be. It means that you are often one of the few putting words to thoughts that have yet to spark in the consciousness of the masses, the first among family and friends to see reality for what it is and warn others of what’s at play.

In my mind, there really is no more important role. This is how we elevate awareness, by pushing such thoughts back into the public discourse, time and again, by reminding people there’s more to the story and there’s more going on than what’s being talked about in the daily news cycle.

As the author of The Big Story Nobody is Talking About says:

“We need to have “object permanence” in politics as in all things. Something doesn’t cease to exist just because you can’t see it anymore. The world doesn’t vanish when you close your eyes.
The Great Reset is still the plan.
It’s still happening. It’s just distributed now. A compartmentalized strategy uploaded to the cloud, everywhere and nowhere. A million nanobots working a million angles to change a million tiny rules and build a million tiny cells.”

Well said.

While it’s easy to get excited and enraged about what’s coming to light, the higher mind must understand that what’s taking place is a great awakening at the lower rungs of society. To the extent that all the “bombshell” revelations provide fodder for shock-and-awe headline news, they are mere distractions and tacit confirmation that all is not as it seems for those who’ve long known this to be true.

It feels good to be right, but just as you’ve been well ahead of the curve in so many ways, for so many years, so too must you recommit yourself to leading the way for those who are only now seeing the light. We need to lead them from where they are at, to seeing what’s really going on. It’s not time to become flippant and dismissive, saying “see, I told you so,” and it’s not time to simply pat ourselves on the back for seeing through the fog of the last administration.

Instead, it’s time to lean in, get loud, and be heard. While the left gears up to fight in the streets, we need to gear up for board meetings and townhalls. It’s not as sexy and exciting, but that’s where the real battle is still being fought.

Run for city council or the school board. Show up to meetings. Write letters to the editor. Call your congressman. Comment on bills in the legislative session.

Know this: the Great Reset is more than just an onerous geopolitical agenda. It is a subversive collection of thoughts that have been carefully sown into the public psyche and meticulously woven into public policy. They are everywhere all at once.

These thoughts cannot be fought in the streets, and they need not be. To do so would be to play the enemy’s game, and lose. For while one might busy himself with bloody knuckles, the real blood-sucking bastards are wearing suits and ties, hiding behind a shroud of formality, and hoping to hell we fall for their ploy.

RESIST WE MUST!!
