Tesla was brilliant; an innocent, a visionary, and the greedy controllers took him for everything he had and left him to die in isolation and poverty. He was never given the full credit or appreciated for his contributions but it’s never too late.

He was actually born in the middle of the night between July 9 and July 10.

As we’re discovering, the technology we think is new, is actually old, and the controllers have been enjoying it amongst themselves and kept it from us. Now they let a little bit out at a time as it suits them to keep us bemused, amused, and distracted. They’ve also weaponized it—because it suits them.

As fate would have it, however, their weapons are now in use against them—to take them down.

Happy birthday Nicola Tesla. Your stolen research and technology will be enjoyed by Humans again.

U.S. Coast Guard storms narco-submarine in huge Pacific Ocean drug bust

Global News
Published on Jul 11, 2019
U.S. Coast Guard released intense footage of Cutter Munro crew members jumping on a self-propelled semi-submersible suspected drug smuggling vessel (SPSS) on June 18, 2019, carrying thousands of pounds of cocaine, while operating in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Munro offloaded more than 39,000 pounds of cocaine and 933 pounds of marijuana worth a combined estimated $569 million, which was seized in international waters in the Eastern Pacific Ocean from 14 separate drug smuggling vessel between May and June 2019.

Purpose-build smuggling vessels like SPSSs are designed to hold large quantities of contraband while evading detection by law enforcement authorities.

Editor’s Note: My friends, this is just the beginning of watching our world transform into a planet of positive change! Yes…there is significant positive geo-political change happening, no doubt about that.

However, while the scientist in me wants to know why is this happening, the spiritualist in me knows, and the reason is the reintroduction of Light/Love/Life as the predominant force on our globe and in our lives. OMG… am I a “spiritual scientist”!?

Yuge thanks to Starship Earth for keeping us all aware of the game of change as it happens on our planet. What a pleasure for Being here for the planetary and personal/spiritual evolution!

Please read this article, understand the national/global implications, and be…

He says President Trump will be arriving in Britain with 1300 personnel. Wow. He says that cavalcade is on Red Alert with unprecedented security.

Echoing what Thomas said above in his video about the raid on HRC’s IT guy, there is an expectation that something really big is going to break and Simon hopes the next two weeks won’t go by without an opportunity for a breakthrough. It’s time to bring the Truth to the People.

Boom incoming???

Headlines and Updates for April 9, 2019: End Game Battles [videos] ~ Posted April 10, 2019


How important are open borders to the deep state? Their anti-security, anti-national actions tell the tale. This next article provides the scope of the problem. Anyone who says immigration is not a crisis has their head you-know-where or is batting for the other team.

If you listened to the “Merchants of Menace” video I shared on Sunday you understand that history is, by and large, repeating. The similarity was established between Lincoln’s predicament and Trump’s in a very skilled fashion.

You heard that the globalist plan was for Germany to work with Mexico to destroy the USA from within. In exchange, Mexico would be awarded the southwest states.

What happens if millions of illegal aliens from South and Central America, Europe, Africa, and Mexico permeate the southern states unchecked? In effect, they take control of the southwest. Is Mexico cooperating with President Trump?

We don’t want a repeat of the horrific situation in Mexico unfolding in America. Those animals murder thousands of people, decapitate them, string them up, bury them—they are not suitable to allow into other countries. Mexico needs to deal with that deplorable situation.

Tucker Carlson Turns Mexican Official Into BUMBLING MESS, Makes Him REGRET Coming Onto The Show

The drug runners and arms dealers have been well-equipped through Operation: Fast & Furious (thanks to Obama, Holder and Clinton) and there is no shortage of anything they need to destroy America—with more “migrants” on the way.

The corporate media tells the public these people in the caravans are “dreamers”. Don’t believe the lies of the treasonous media. They are the lapdogs of the globalists sent to control the minds of Americans.

There is a plan for America, and you won’t like it.

California Democrat Eric Swalwell is already talking gun control and he’s barely announced his intention to run for president.

The backlog of immigration cases surpasses 800,000 according to reports. The Trump administration still believes the policy complies with U.S. law and it remains unknown if they will openly defy the judge’s order and continue to enforce the policy. Read more at this link:

Federal Judge Stops Trump From Enforcing Border Policy

In truth, if you understand the globalists’ agenda, they will introduce so many migrants in their “forced migration plan” that white residents will be targeted and the race wars will destroy America from within. That is the stark reality of what they have always intended and it’s already evident in Europe. The globalists think in global terms. Go figure.

If I may speak from personal experience, the border states of America (where I have lived for 14 years) are already becoming “shitholes”. It’s disgusting, and getting worse.

If illegal aliens cared about America it would be one thing, but most don’t. They never planned to assimilate. They came because they were told to come, paid to come, were coached on what to say, and they will take everything offered to them when millions of American citizens don’t have the basics. Handouts R Us.

Americans are humane people, but to save their country they will have to take the hard line on immigration and support the President. There are already far too many people in the immigration process and there have to be limits. It’s almost too late to Make America Great Again and Trump’s efforts are thwarted at every turn.

I hope President Trump will force the issue, or America is a ruined nation and the New World Order wins.

This isn’t just a crisis; it’s a life or death crisis. America must secure her borders against the enemy’s armies.

Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana understands and speaks eloquently on the subject.

GOP lawmaker says border situation threatens US ‘integrity’

If Americans want to know what the grand plan for them is, they need only look at other countries.

The recent mosque attacks spelled it out.

Do you recall the one in Canada TWO YEARS ago? Dan Dicks at Press for Truth delivers the sobering wake up call.

So I Got A Letter From The RCMP About The Mosque Shooting…You WON’T BELIEVE What They Have To Say!!

True to form, the psychopaths unrolled more mosque attacks to further the race wars—and, of course, gun control. Enter New Zealand.

Max Igan of Australia was banned from YouTube for 3 months for his video and discusses the reality of that false flag with Canadian ex-pat Jeff Berwick. Max confirms several facts about the attack, and tells us the rest can’t be confirmed—just as in all the NWO’s false flag events.

Max points out that in this Information War, it’s clear that the deep state clouds the issues with part truth, part lies, and he references the article from Phi Beta Iota where RDS attempts to confuse the issue to the point that people throw up their hands in frustration and “throw the baby out with the bathwater”, as he puts it.

The Intelligence community launches into high gear every time there is a false flag event and uses the same strategy. Whether you’re talking about 9-11 or Sandy Hook, the “facts” presented are at least 50 per cent lies.

Max Igan Banned From Youtube For Exposing Christchurch Massacre

I also listened to a lively discussion about the Christchurch massacre with Kiwi Vinny Eastwood and Canadian Barry Prince—my point being that patriots the world over see and understand what is happening and through dialogue we can work together to prepare those who are unaware and oppose the initiatives to steal their rights and their countries.

Except for a very few, our legislators and policy-makers are compromised and do not operate in our best interests. The globalists control them. If you value your life and care about the future for your children and grand children, you had better contact them and tell them in no uncertain terms what you want them to do AND/OR vote them out. They are supposed to work FOR THE PEOPLE.

Vinny does a brilliant outline of all the signature points that confirm this was a globalist hit to further their agenda. It’s an excellent video for anyone wishing to understand the big picture. Ole Dammegard has analyzed these NWO events for many years and there is a distinct formula. They follow the playbook every time.

Christchurch Mosque Massacre EXPOSED, Vinny Eastwood, The Big Puzzle With Barry Prince

Personally, I prefer not to look deeply into these mass murders because I immediately know when it’s an event perpetrated for the globalist agenda. We can waste a great deal of time chasing down the details and arguing about them when all I need do is look at it framed by previous events and I can see the multiple objectives. Nowadays it’s about race wars and gun control.

As the above commentators point out, the gun control legislation for New Zealand—a massive tome—was pre-written and approved almost immediately. It was quite a feat of preparation and was not a result of the mosque shootings. It was all ready to go in advance; the planned attack just as cabal Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated before the smoke had even cleared.

It seems the dark has again fast-tracked their agenda to attempt to try to head off the patriots. As Q said, eyes on, maintain situational awareness, and if you see something, say something.


Here’s a juicy headline. No surprise here. Patriots have reported real time manipulation of their material and this Big Tech conglomerate has no right whatsoever to censor, tabulate, or control in any way the information we, the People, upload or search for on the Internet. They don’t get to decide what is true or relevant. That’s our right and we don’t agree to Big Brother deciding what is acceptable.

EXCLUSIVE: Documents Detailing Google’s ‘News Blacklist’ Show Manual Manipulation Of Special Search Results


I was able to watch a previously unavailable Dustin Nemos video last night about David Seaman disavowing QAnon. The online colour commentary in some circles is off the charts and drama queen David has been reactivated.

Dustin is the perfect debate guy because he’s sharp and calm, never at a loss to defend his argument. He has the facts and kills the narrative with the sword of truth.

Seaman says Q has “resigned”, lol. Names that came up in that circle… Defango, Unirock, Alex Jones, Isaac Green—whom I had already pegged, Jack Posobiec whom I don’t follow, and others I hadn’t heard of before; all trying to control the narrative and disrupt the MAGA Movement. Pure distraction. They just can’t leave Q alone.

It’s obvious why. They can’t give up that bone any more than they can stop attacking President Trump. They go after the enemy, and we citizen journalists and patriots are also the enemy.

If we maintain our focus and unify, we will render them all irrelevant. They don’t even qualify as “fake news”; they’re just frenzied attack dogs, and feral dogs will kill each other for survival.


I strongly recommend you visit the American Intelligence Media’s web site and have a boo at the CAT Report. It’s loaded with great information like this… about “Yoda”. Is this the Yoda that posts on Phi Beta Iota, “former CIA spy” Robert David Steele’s website?

It’s of interest to note that this Yoda is SES. Right outta the Plum Book.

From the April 8 CAT Report…

Andrew Marshal is nicknamed ‘Yoda’ by his fellow swamp creatures…wonder why.

He doesn’t want to sound like a fear mongerer, but wants people to prepare for April 11 because the fake media is not telling it like it is. Take this cautionary message for what you will.

Adding to the already serious situation in areas of the mid-west just may tip the scales and have serious consequences for America. Some are urgently advising us to stock up on bulk meats as so many livestock perished recently.

The wealth magically concocted out of thin air for hundreds of years no longer materializes and the banks are nearly all insolvent and operating at negative liquidity, we hear. Still, they strut around like royalty in their land of make believe. Poor things. Look—there’s a tear in my beer.

President Trump Adresses Nation 1/19/19 Immigration & Shutdown. President Trump is going to propose a compromise to Democrats to end the shutdown: The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for (DACA) — President Donald Trump announced his proposed plan for a compromise on immigration from the White House on Saturday, as the government shutdown is poised to enter its fifth week. “I am here today to break the logjam, and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border,” Trump said, before explaining his plan. The deal would include $5.7 billion in funding for “see-through steel barriers” in certain “high priority locations.” In exchange, he offered “three years for legislative relief” for 700,000 DACA recipients, extending their protection from deportation. Trump also offered a three year extension to the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders. Democrats have already suggested the proposal is a nonstarter, demanding the government be reopened before any broader negotiations on immigration take place. It’s not clear Trump’s base will be pleased with the deal either In his speech, Trump issued a rebuke of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by declaring “walls are not immoral.” He also emphasized the “humanitarian crisis” at the southern border, touching on drug trafficking, crime committed by undocumented immigrants, and the dangers facing mrants making the danus trek north. and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge. The deal was reportedly hammered out by Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner. It’s unclear if Democrats will accept the deal, which Kushner is reportedly hoping will pass in the Senate and then put pressure on the House.

I’m A Senior Trump Official, And I Hope A Long Shutdown Smokes Out The Resistance | Op-Ed from Daily Caller ~ January 15, 2019


Here! Here! Perhaps some will have a more positive view of the partial government shutdown after hearing the perspective and facts below from an insider. We know by the undercover camera work from Project Veritas that the smug attitudes of agency people are exactly as claimed.

There are far more benefits to a partial government shutdown than negative aspects, and I said from the beginning my view was from the positive side because it would show Americans just how much toxic fat there is in the current government structure that works to serve itself.

Boo-hoo for the employees who didn’t get paid. I’ve worked for free, usually 7 days a week, for nearly 7 years on this blog and the other inconsequential, part-time work I was able to get since legally immigrating to the US 14 years ago was next to working for free.

Many have and are making personal and financial sacrifices for this planetary cause; ultimate freedom from tyranny. America has been drowning in alphabet soup but the deep state government’s picnic is over.

The unconscionable salaries these dead weights get for producing nothing and obstructing positive change are needed for important Humanitarian projects.

When kids are going to school without breakfast, millions of families are on food stamps, can’t afford health care, and veterans are living and dying on the street there is no excuse for this wanton wastefulness from spoiled adolescents drunk on entitlement.

Get rid of those unnecessary jobs, restructure, and create a government that works FOR the People. Employ citizens who actually care and will strive to create a better world. Service to self is a passing motivator that will soon fade from society.

Kudos to President Trump for this strategy. It’s long past time to eject the old guard and their minions.

Change it up! Mix the metaphors! Get the controlled burn going. Then we can cauterize the festering wound that is Washington and let the healing begin.  ~ BP

 


I’m A Senior Trump Official, And I Hope A Long Shutdown Smokes Out The Resistance

January 14, 2019

The Daily Caller is taking the rare step of publishing this anonymous op-ed at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose career would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.


As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck, a few words of advice for the president’s next move at shuttered government agencies: lock the doors, sell the furniture, and cut them down.

Federal employees are starting to feel the strain of the shutdown. I am one of them. But for the sake of our nation, I hope it lasts a very long time, till the government is changed and can never return to its previous form.

The lapse in appropriations is more than a battle over a wall. It is an opportunity to strip wasteful government agencies for good.

On an average day, roughly 15 percent of the employees around me are exceptional patriots serving their country. I wish I could give competitive salaries to them and no one else. But 80 percent feel no pressure to produce results. If they don’t feel like doing what they are told, they don’t.

Why would they? We can’t fire them. They avoid attention, plan their weekend, schedule vacation, their second job, their next position — some do this in the same position for more than a decade.

They do nothing that warrants punishment and nothing of external value. That is their workday: errands for the sake of errands — administering, refining, following and collaborating on process. “Process is your friend” is what delusional civil servants tell themselves. Even senior officials must gain approval from every rank across their department, other agencies and work units for basic administrative chores.

Process is what we serve, process keeps us safe, process is our core value. It takes a lot of people to maintain the process. Process provides jobs. In fact, there are process experts and certified process managers who protect the process. Then there are the 5 percent with moxie (career managers). At any given time they can change, clarify or add to the process — even to distort or block policy counsel for the president.

Saboteurs peddling opinion as research, tasking their staff on pet projects or pitching wasteful grants to their friends. Most of my career colleagues actively work against the president’s agenda. This means I typically spend about 15 percent of my time on the president’s agenda and 85 percent of my time trying to stop sabotage, and we have no power to get rid of them. Until the shutdown.

Due to the lack of funding, many federal agencies are now operating more effectively from the top down on a fraction of their workforce, with only select essential personnel serving national security tasks. One might think this is how government should function, but bureaucracies operate from the bottom up — a collective of self-generated ideas. Ideas become initiatives, formalize into offices, they seek funds from Congress and become bureaus or sub-agencies, and maybe one day grow to be their own independent agency, like ours. The nature of a big administrative bureaucracy is to grow to serve itself. I watch it and fight it daily.

When the agency is full, employees held liable for poor performance respond with threats, lawsuits, complaints and process in at least a dozen offices, taking years of mounting paperwork with no fear of accountability, extending their careers, while no real work is done. Do we succumb to such extortion? Yes. We pay them settlements, we waive bad reviews, and we promote them.

Many government agencies have adopted the position that more complaints are good because it shows inclusion in, you guessed it, the process. When complaints come, it is cheaper to pay them off than to hold public servants accountable. The result: People accused of serious offenses are not charged, and self-proclaimed victims are paid by you, the American taxpayer.

The message to federal supervisors is clear. Maintain the status quo, or face allegations. Many federal employees truly believe that doing tasks more efficiently and cutting out waste, by closing troubled programs instead of expanding them, “is morally wrong,” as one cried to me.

I get it. These are their pets. It is tough to put them down and let go, and many resist. This phenomenon was best summed up by a colleague who said, “The goal in government is to do nothing. If you try to get things done, that’s when you will run into trouble.”

But President Trump can end this abuse. Senior officials can reprioritize during an extended shutdown, focus on valuable results and weed out the saboteurs. We do not want most employees to return, because we are working better without them. Sure, we empathize with families making tough financial decisions, like mine, and just like private citizens who have to find other work and bring competitive value every day, while paying more than a third of their salary in federal taxes.

President Trump has created more jobs in the private sector than the furloughed federal workforce. Now that we are shut down, not only are we identifying and eliminating much of the sabotage and waste, but we are finally working on the president’s agenda.

President Trump does not need Congress to address the border emergency, and yes, it is an emergency. Billions upon billions of hard-earned tax dollars are still being dumped into foreign aid programs every year that do nothing for America’s interest or national security. The president does not need congressional funding to deconstruct abusive agencies who work against his agenda. This is a chance to effect real change, and his leverage grows stronger every day the shutdown lasts.

The president should add to his demands, including a vote on all of his political nominees in the Senate. Send the career appointees back. Many are in the 5 percent of saboteurs and resistance leaders.

A word of caution: To be a victory, this shutdown must be different than those of the past and should achieve lasting disruption with two major changes, or it will hurt the president.

The first thing we need out of this is better security, particularly at the southern border. Our founders envisioned a free market night watchman state, not the bungled bloated bureaucracy our government has become. But we have to keep the uniformed officers paid, which is an emergency. Ideally, continue a resolution to pay the essential employees only, if they are truly working on national security. Furloughed employees should find other work, never return and not be paid.

Secondly, we need savings for taxpayers. If this fight is merely rhetorical bickering with Nancy Pelosi, we all lose, especially the president. But if it proves that government is better when smaller, focusing only on essential functions that serve Americans, then President Trump will achieve something great that Reagan was only bold enough to dream.

Wasteful government agencies are fighting for relevance but they will lose. Now is the time to deliver historic change by cutting them down forever.
