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 s**t 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!!

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:

* Why Billionaires are Obsessed With Blocking Out the Sun

* White House Floats the Idea of Blocking Out the Sun

* 60 Scientists Are Trying to Block the Sun - Popular Mechanics

* Harvard Scientists Begin Experiment To Block Out The Sun

* Bill Gates Venture Aims To Spray The Atmosphere To Block 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.

* What's Happened Since A Judge Ruled Water Fluoridation Is Lowering IQ?

* Nebraska lawmakers consider removing requirement for cities to add fluoride

* Florida lawmakers looking to ban fluoride statewide

* Louisiana lawmakers will consider removing fluoride from public drinking water

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!!

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:

* American Meteorological Society’s Early History of Weather Modification (1968)

* NOAA National Weather Modification Policies and Programs (1979)

* NRC Status of US Weather Modification Research and Operations (2003)

* CIA Survey of Weather Modification (Released 2013)

* U.S. Government Accountability Office Report on Cloud Seeding (2024)

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:

* TR 399 - Government Seeks to Block Out Sun

* TR 584 - Globalist Gaslighting Lights Up the Night Sky

* TR 634 - On the Weaponization of Weather and Geoengineering Elections

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:

* RCW 70A.10.200 - Program of emergency cloud seeding authorized. (See also Chapter 278, the original Act on Emergency Cloud Seeding from 1981.)

* UW studies a drastic way to cool a warming planet, cloud brightening

* Yakima Basin irrigators explore cloud seeding as a possible option

* UW cloud brightening experiment on hold while Alameda investigates impact

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 s**t 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.

* Weather Engineering and its Undesirable Side Effects on the Environment, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Human Health

* Reflecting Sunlight to Cool the Planet – MIT Investigates Solar Geoengineering Proposals

* Assessing the direct occupational and public health impacts of solar radiation management with stratospheric aerosols

* Jets to spray Welsbach particles (aluminum oxide) into the atmosphere

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:

* Tennessee legislature passes bill banning 'chemtrails': What to know

* Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals

* Tennessee lawmakers vote to ban geoengineering

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!

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!!

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.

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

French riots. Canadian wildfires. Climate lockdowns.

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!

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:

* Jewish Male Menstruation in Seventeenth-Century Spain

* The Medical Reason For 'Male Menstruation' In Ancient Egypt

* Acknowledging That All Genders Can Menstruate Doesn’t ‘Erase Women’

* 'Not all menstruators are women': According to trans and nonbinary folks

* USDA Grant to Study 'Trans Men's' Menstrual Cycles

* Degendering Menstruation: Making Trans Menstruators Matter

* The Menstruating Male Body - The Blood Project

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.

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!!

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!!

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:

* EPSTEIN FILES TODAY: AG Pam Bondi Announces Thursday Release As 250 Victim Names Redacted

* GENE HACKMAN, WIFE, DOG FOUND DEAD IN HOME

* Zelensky To Visit White House But Minerals Deal Still Up In The Air

* The Liberal Meltdown Continues and Is Glorious (but Also Dangerous)

* President Trump Signs New Executive Order on DOGE — here’s the direct link to IMPLEMENTING THE PRESIDENT’S “DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY” COST EFFICIENCY INITIATIVE

* Federal Officials Identify ‘HUD Employee’ Who Broadcast AI Video of Trump Kissing Musk’s Feet in HUD Cafeteria – Escort Individual from the Building

* Floyd Mayweather Jr. Shocks the Left: Boxing Legend Defends Trump, Declares ‘Best President We Ever Had’

* BREAKING: IRS to shutter 120 offices nationwide

* Military Contractors Pitch Trump on Plan to Enlist a ‘Private Citizen Army’ to Help Carry Out Mass Deportations

* Neo-Nazis targeted majority-Black town. Locals launched armed watch.

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:

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

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

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

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 f**k around and find out is OVER… Let me be crystal f*****g 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.

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!!

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 b******t 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 b******t, 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!!

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:

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.”

B******t.

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, b******t.

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!!
