Deep State Apoplectic with Trump’s Use of Emissaries to Deliver Results

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

To say that I am happy with President Trump’s approach toward the use of White House emissaries to conduct official business around the capture mechanisms of the administrative state would be an understatement.  I’m positively thrilled to watch this untraditional approach in action.

Are there approaches, strategies and general things I would prefer to see differently; sure, there are. However, I’m just an audience member without any need to keep gravity maintained while figuring out ways to satisfy billionaire donors, key interests and strategic partners.  On this balancing act, President Trump is doing awesome work.

President Trump is ducking and weaving through some of the deepest Machiavellian constructs, while maintaining forward progress.

To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo.  Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks.  The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.

Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has long said publicly he does not consider America or the American people to be adversaries of Russia. Instead, Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his adversary; he is always clear to draw the distinction.

The Deep State does not like President Trump’s use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy.  In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it.

That is exactly why this approach is needed, and it is very good to see it being done.

The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.

The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable.

The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President.  The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told.

This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is.  More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.

It is important to keep this in mind. You never get everything you want in politics, but Trump is doing more than any other president in recent history, while the odds and forces against him are powerful and many. ABN

How CCP uses Epstein-style entrapment to control Japanese politicians

中文翻譯：

你知道中共怎么拿下外国政客吗？ 不是靠钱，不是靠权。 而是靠一种…古老的文化。 一位日本前高官，曾经是“日中友好访问团”的秘书长。 他亲口说出了自己的经历。 那是一次访问北京，欢迎仪式在人民大会堂举行。 长长的桌子，日本代表团和中共官员坐两边。 但诡异的是， 每个日本代表的身边，都站着一位美女。 出发前，他就被警告过： “这些女人是专门为你们每个人量身定制的， 完全按照你们的喜好挑选， 千万，千万不要碰！” 他半信半疑，结果到现场一看， “Bingo!” 站在他旁边的那个女人，完完全全就是他的菜。 这还只是开始。 晚上，代表团入住钓鱼台国宾馆。 他又被警告： “干部们听好了，她们晚上一定会来敲门， 绝对不能让她们进来！ 房间里全是摄像头，一旦进去，你就完了！” 果然，她们来了。 敲开门问： “您口渴吗？要不要喝点酒？” 他拒绝了。 以为结束了？并没有。 过了一会儿，又来敲门： “您需要按摩服务吗？” 总之，用尽一切办法，就是要进你的房间。 在日本，很多国会议员都是从秘书做起的。 今天的外务大臣，就是他当年同事的秘书。 这些人一旦被抓住把柄，意味着什么？ 这不是个案，是中共长达数十年的系统性渗透。 日本政坛，早已是他们的狩猎场。

English translation:

Do you know how the CCP takes down foreign politicians? It’s not through money, not through power. But through a kind of… ancient culture. A former Japanese high-ranking official, who once served as the secretary-general of the “Japan-China Friendship Delegation.” He personally recounted his own experience. It was during a visit to Beijing, with the welcome ceremony held at the Great Hall of the People. A long table, with the Japanese delegation seated on one side and CCP officials on the other. But strangely, Next to each Japanese representative stood a beautiful woman. Before departure, he had been warned: “These women are specially tailored for each of you, Selected entirely according to your preferences, You absolutely, absolutely must not touch them!” He was half-believing, half-doubting, but when he arrived at the scene and took a look, “Bingo!” The woman standing next to him was completely his type. And this was just the beginning. In the evening, the delegation checked into the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. He was warned again: “Listen up, cadres, they will definitely come knocking at night, You absolutely cannot let them in! The rooms are full of cameras; once they enter, you’re done for!” Sure enough, they came. They knocked on the door and asked: “Are you thirsty? Would you like a drink?” He refused. Think it was over? Not at all. A little while later, another knock: “Do you need a massage service?” In short, they tried every possible means, just to get into your room. In Japan, many members of parliament started out as secretaries. Today’s foreign minister is the secretary of one of his former colleagues. What does it mean if these people get caught with leverage? This isn’t an isolated case; it’s the CCP’s systematic infiltration over decades. The Japanese political arena has long been their hunting ground.

The only reason the Communist Party wants to take Taiwan is because Taiwan’s very existence highlights the evil of the Communist Party’s dictatorship

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The speaker in the video is Cao Changqing (曹長青), a prominent Chinese dissident, writer, and commentator known for his outspoken criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).This clip features a common argument in anti-CCP dissident circles, comparing the CCP’s historical concessions on territories like Outer Mongolia (citing Guo Moruo’s article) to its fixation on Taiwan—not for territorial reasons, but because Taiwan’s democratic system exposes the authoritarian nature of the CCP regime.Cao frequently appears in exile media and online videos discussing similar themes.

Video Transcript (Chinese)

臺灣問題其實跟統獨問題是沒有關係的。因為共產黨在奪取政權之後，放棄了領土超過50個臺灣以上。光一個外蒙古就已經差不多50個臺灣。當時共產黨放棄外蒙古的時候，郭沫若是中科院院長，是毛澤東御用文人。他在人民日報上還寫了一篇文章，叫《為什麼我們應該歡呼外蒙古的獨立》。連那個文章你在網上都能查得到。所以就是像東北的話再加起來，可能超過100個臺灣就說不定了。對，還有像哈薩克斯坦和緬甸和越南，所有有爭議的領土，共產黨全部放棄。所以說臺灣問題不是一個領土的問題，也不是統獨的問題，也不是什麼經濟科技的問題。共產黨之所以想拿下臺灣，唯一的原因就是因為臺灣的存在本身凸顯出共產黨這種獨裁的邪惡。

English Translation

The Taiwan issue actually has nothing to do with the question of unification or independence. Because after the Communist Party seized power, it gave up territory exceeding more than 50 Taiwans. Just Outer Mongolia alone is already roughly 50 Taiwans. At the time when the Communist Party abandoned Outer Mongolia, Guo Moruo was the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Mao Zedong’s personal literati. He even wrote an article in the People’s Daily titled “Why We Should Cheer for the Independence of Outer Mongolia.” You can still find that article online. So, if you add in things like the Northeast, it might exceed 100 Taiwans—no exaggeration. Yes, and territories disputed with Kazakhstan, Myanmar, and Vietnam—all of them were completely abandoned by the Communist Party. Therefore, the Taiwan issue is not a territorial problem, nor is it about unification or independence, and it’s not about economics or technology either. The only reason the Communist Party wants to take Taiwan is because Taiwan’s very existence highlights the evil of the Communist Party’s dictatorship.

Israel’s Biggest Con Trick: Hiding the True Numbers It Has Killed in Gaza

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…According to a letter from experts in this field to the Lancet, studies of other wars – most of them far less destructive than Israel’s on the tiny enclave – indicate that between three and 15 times more people are killed by indirect, rather than direct, methods of warfare.

The authors conservatively estimate an indirect death toll four times greater than the direct death toll. That would mean, at a minimum, 350,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions.

The reality is likely to be even worse. That is without even mentioning the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have been left with horrific injuries and psychological trauma.

Israel’s war planners know exactly how this direct-to-indirect ratio works. Which is why they chose to destroy nearly every home in Gaza, to bomb the power, sanitation and water facilities, to level the hospitals, and to block aid month after month.

They knew this would be the way Israel could carry out a genocide while offering its allies – western governments and its army of lobbyists – a “get out of jail card” for their active complicity.

Donald Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” is just another layer of deception in this endless game of smoke and mirrors. The UN’s child protection agency, Unicef, reports that less than a quarter of aid trucks are getting into Gaza, past Israel’s continuing starvation blockade, despite Israeli commitments agreed as part of the “ceasefire”. Apparently, this doesn’t register as a gross ceasefire violation. It goes unnoticed.

Unicef reports further that in October alone, at the start of the “ceasefire”, nearly 18,000 new mothers and babies had to be hospitalised in Gaza from acute malnutrition.

The genocide isn’t over. Israel may have slowed the rate of direct killings it is committing by bombing Gaza, but the indirect killings continue unabated. And so does the Israeli-engineered “debate” in the West, one designed to obscure and excuse the mass murder of Gaza’s population.

Important to recall that 10/7 was a MIHOP/ LIHOP psyop, and the IDF killed most of the Israelis lost in that incident. ABN

Intelligence community should monitor supply chains, says new natsec strategy

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The U.S. intelligence community should monitor global supply chains as part of a sweeping goal to decouple the nation’s economy from foreign adversaries and advance American economic interests, according to the Trump administration’s newly published National Security Strategy.

Published late on Thursday, the 33-page strategy document adds to Trump administration direction to federal agencies to treat economic policy as a national-security matter.

U.S. spy agencies “will monitor key supply chains and technological advances around the world to ensure we understand and mitigate vulnerabilities and threats to American security and prosperity,” the strategy reads. 

Security and defense agencies have long monitored or sought to bring awareness to supply-chain issues to ensure operational security and the protection of U.S. forces; more comprehensive monitoring would require vaster efforts to discover and track where American companies and foreign rivals ship, produce and stockpile their goods and services around the world.

‘Make Europe Great Again’ and more from a longer version of the National Security Strategy

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

“Make Europe Great Again”

While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the full version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to—quote—“Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from American military support.

Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements.

Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”

“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.

The C5

Over the summer, President Trump made headlines when he lamented the expulsion of Russia from the Group of Eight—now the Group of Seven—as  a “very big mistake.” He even suggested that he’d like to see China added  to form a “G9.”

His national security strategy proposes taking this a step further, creating a new body of major powers, one that isn’t hemmed in by the G7’s requirements that the countries be both wealthy and democratically governed.

The strategy proposes a “Core 5,” or C5, made up of the U.S., China, Russia, India and Japan—which are several of the countries with more than 100 million people. It would meet regularly, as the G7 does, for summits with specific themes.

First on the C5’s proposed agenda: Middle East security—specifically, normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. 

“Hegemony wasn’t achievable”

The full NSS also spends some time discussing the “failure” of American hegemony, a term that isn’t mentioned in the publicly released version.

“Hegemony is the wrong thing to want and it wasn’t achievable,” according to the document. 

In this context, hegemony refers to the leadership by one country of the world, using soft power to encourage other countries to consent to being led. 

“After the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy elites convinced themselves that permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country,” the NSS states. “Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests.”

The White House has denied this document, claiming: ‘No alternative, private, or classified version exists’ of the publicized National Security Strategy.

If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose, it probably is a rose. I hope this is US policy, declared or otherwise. ABN

The New Apostolic Reformation & Charlie Kirk

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Part I: What is NAR?

The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.

NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.

Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches. 

The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.

When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return. 

NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR. 

NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.

Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth. 

NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain. 

The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.

The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:

This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California. 

As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:

Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California

Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate

Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel 

For the purposes of my threads, I think that’s enough intro. If you want to go down the NAP rabbit hole, and trust me, it’s DEEP, here are a few intro links with lots of additional links of their own:

Part II: The prophet, the Donald & the cabana boy

__________

This is a very important thread on Evangelical Christianity and what a major faction within it is doing and why.

Trump allied with NAR because politics.

In some respects, a force like this one can have good effects and good results, because politics and social cohesion.

How much they have been infiltrated and/or influenced by Zionism, I do not know but doubt it is a minor factor.

Bottom line for me, I would prefer a strong Christian society to a totalitarian leftist one.

I am wary of religious forces like this, but all civilizations have lowest-common-denominator metacognitive beliefs and values which govern them.

A dominant, even domineering, Christianity would probably remain open to moral suasion and not harm non-believers who did not harm them.

Welcome to the human race.

Don’t make perfect be the enemy of good-enough realism.

Maybe AI will fix this. :) ABN

A Somali on Somalis

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

__________

This is authentic clan mentality.

You can substitute Somali with many other clannish and tribal societies; they would say the same thing.

This explains why clans are so good at fraud and parasitism; they have no loyalty except to their clans.

The Catholic Church ended European clans by banning marriage to anyone closely and even distantly related.

This led to the famous ‘high-trust’ society the West formed after that.

For centuries this Western high-trust society, with no clans, (and low mental retardation) allowed the West to become the most creative and innovative society on earth.

Nowadays, Western blindness to our own zero-clan history is causing us to be overrun with parasitic clans and tribes that see us as easy prey, which we are because we do not understand what they are doing.

Jewish Supremist comprise a clan and act like one. This is why everyone in Congress is terrified of them and swears fealty to them at every opportunity.

It appears Somali clans in Minnesota and Maine have been paying off politicians in a fashion similar to JS payoffs and threats to Congress.

For clans and tribes, that’s how you do life. There is no other way. There is no other moral consideration.

Notice the dude in the video says Somalis ‘don’t do one-on-one, they gonna jump you… You are f*cked’.

This is another very important point Westerners have not recognized.

If anyone in a clan gets mad at you, you are f*cked.

And this explains the covert widespread attacks on young people in the West I have detailed in many posts.

But they were innocent, never did anything, you say.

You are perceived as being in a clan or different tribe, so you are f*cked for that reason, and that reason alone.

To them, taking out the young, raping and humiliating them, demoralizes your clan.

The clan mentality will destroy your entire society to preserve and further their clan.

It’s how they think.

Notice how Israel is behaving in Gaza and all along.

Same thing. ABN

Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy – Europe Is Destroying Itself

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy is outlined in a detailed 33-page report.

In addition to setting the priorities for the United States focus, the report details the Trump administration perspective on the world as broken down into specific regions.  The report is a brutally honest review of the current state of geopolitical benefits, risks and threats as they pertain to vital U.S. interests.

[Full pdf Here]

In addition to outlining a critically renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, the Trump administration also notes the practical position of Europe, as it pertains to NATO and dependency on the U.S.A.

In a brutally honest review of the situation, the Trump administration notes Europe is increasingly losing their own identity.  The fear the Europeans express about being vulnerable to Russian strength is hypocritical, in the sense that in practical outcomes the EU is purposefully weakening itself and simultaneously demanding assistance against their own weakness.

[PAGE 25] – American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.

Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness. But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.

The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.

Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.

This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.

European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.

Managing European relations with Russia will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.

It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.

The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.

The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.

The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years”

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years.” Not Russian intelligence. Not dissident analysts. Washington, in its own national strategy, marking the time of death.

Europe’s tragedy isn’t that it was defeated by an external force. Its tragedy is that it volunteered for collapse, mistaking moral vanity for strategy, self-harm for principle, and neocon applause for sovereignty. 19 rounds of sanctions meant to cripple Russia instead detonated inside Europe’s own chest cavity; industries fleeing, energy gutted, borders unmoored, farmers revolting, wages eroding, dissent criminalized under “values” crafted by technocrats who have never worked a real job, with utter contempt for Europeans.

And while Europe recited slogans, Russia built substance, built an economic juggernaut. The “gas station with nukes” they mocked is now the 4th largest economy on Earth by PPP, expanding faster than the entire European Union since the SMO began, reindustrializing, reorienting, rewiring Eurasia. The target of Europe’s crusade grew stronger, the crusaders grew poorer. This wasn’t irony. This was inevitability.

Now comes the most brutal line in the US strategy: the warning that some European states soon “may not be strong enough to remain reliable allies.” This is Washington stepping back from a burning house with the calm of an arsonist writing the incident report. The very patron that pushed Europe toward confrontation, long before Trump, is now drafting its alibi, framing Europe’s collapse as an unfortunate accident rather than the predictable consequence of policies its Deepstate encouraged and Brussels enforced with missionary zeal.

The EU won’t recognize the downloading of humiliation, because it arrived disguised as loyalty, and because the script being used to abandon the continent is the same script Europe still insists on performing.

A continent that once birthed Western civilization now prosecutes its citizens for speech, crushes its own farmers under riot shields, torches its industry for green dogma, and markets the whole spectacle as enlightenment. It surrendered its energy to ideology, its industry to Davos hallucinations, its security to America’s whims, and its future to compound interest. A civilization cannot live on abstractions, but its elites can, because they have engineered a system where the costs fall on the people and the graft float upward to those who never bear the consequences.

The NSS isn’t a strategy. It’s a confession in plain sight; Russia absorbed the blow, recalibrated, and rose; Europe dissolved into the very illusions it mistook for strength, while Washington, already preparing the next chapter, quietly wipes its hands of the consequences.

The deep, largely unrecognized, source of Europe and the West’s precipitous decline is we have been infiltrated by hostile, violent gangs which have taken over all Western high-ground.

All of our institutions have been infiltrated and turned against us.

All of them.

Consider what backward Somali gangs were able to do in just a few decades.

Had they not been caught, consider the wealth and power they would have amassed and held.

That was their motive.

Then consider gangs in the past who have quietly infiltrated the West and taken over.

Consider the payoff for their bold plan:

Immense power and wealth, control of all major Western institutions, the power to mind-control and lead Western peoples to their deaths.

That was and still is their motive.

But they are smarter than the Somalis.

Not only have they not been caught, they convinced us to pay for our own execution.

Many do not fully understand this because they are so soft and weak they refuse to contemplate the clandestine violence that has been waged for many generations against talented Western young people.

Why young people?

Because the smartest ones can be identified early and lobotomized, poisoned or maimed before they become adults.

This allows those young victims to live and cause despair and resignation in their communities, but renders them incapable of fighting back or understanding what has happened to them.

It is close to impossible to catch the poisoners and lobotomizers in the act. After one roofie, a lobotomy takes but a few minutes to perform.

And a goon can be trained to do it.

The deed can be done tens of thousands of times per year throughout the West, and very few will notice the pattern.

Put on your ruthless warrior hat and realize the deep reason the West is falling so fast.

It’s not just due to ideas, pathological altruism, the nepotism of our enemies.

It is majorly due to their violence. ABN

Ukraine PEACE efforts are constantly sabotaged by Ukraine’s pro-war faction – elites tied to Zelensky and the European military-industrial complex – who dominate media under wartime censorship — Artem Dmytruk, Member of the Ukrainian Parliament

‘These elites disguise their desire to prolong the war – where the poor die and the rich profit – as the “will of the people.” In reality, this is a massive disinformation campaign. Over 70% of Ukrainians support immediate peace, but their voices are suppressed by Zelensky’s regime through torture, extrajudicial persecution, and prison sentences on fabricated treason charges.’ — Artem Dmytruk
