"The majority is never right. Never. That's one of those social myths that every free and intelligent man must fight. Who are the majority in a country? Why, the fools are!" — Henrik Ibsen, 'An Enemy of the People' (1882)
In today’s Tireside Chat, I ask a targeted question: “What is the highest level of training you have achieved in a stress scenario?”
Former Marine Reconnaissance rifleman, door gunner, tier one operator, and co-founder of Magpul Dynamics, Travis Haley, advises his students that during a stress scenario or disruptive environment, you will ALWAYS default to the highest level of training you have achieved.
Are you and your Mutual Assistance Group (MAG) training in static or dynamic environments? Are you training outside of your comfort zone, pushing yourselves, and forcing yourselves into stress scenarios and disruptive environments? Are you going through those motions, building new neural pathways and muscle memory?
If not, please consider taking your training to the next level. Be hard on yourself, because the world will treat you even harder. You will be better equipped in mind and body to handle scenarios that you may not have considered, or that are decidedly challenging, to say the very least.

In today's episode of America the Battlefield, Tim sits down with Ben Roche over coffee, the former Chair of the Linn County Republican Party, stepping through the back-and-forth dance of state policy missteps and budget band-aids. One starts with a jab: "You see ODOT wants more taxes again? Gas, mileage, tolls—you name it.” The other counters, “And yet, they can’t keep the roads paved. Where's all that money going?”
They “two-step” through topics: the Oregon Transportation Package in 2017 which promised smoother roads but now shows signs of crumbling promises. They challenge vehicle fees and how gas taxes hurt the working-class, and discuss the tolling schemes that feel more like revenue traps than traffic solutions.
As Tim and Ben waltz into the deeper details, they dig into the Oregon Department of Transportation’s financial mismanagement—like the BILLIONS in debt and nearly $30 billion in upcoming project costs.
“It’s like they’ve choreographed a budget ballet where the taxpayers always foot the bill for the encore.”
By the end of their chat, the theme is clear: Oregon’s transportation policy has become a careful dance of shifting costs and dodging accountability—a real Tariff Two-Step where they try to pass the buck to Trump, while Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and the ODOT keeps changing the rhythm, and the public keeps getting stepped-on.

In today’s Tireside Chat, I address the importance of forming and growing your Mutual Assistance Group (MAG) by cultivating relationships with your neighbors and people in your local community, getting to KNOW them, learning about their skill sets, resources, knowledge, experience, what they bring to the table, training with them, and addressing shared needs or challenges.
More importantly, will they be there when you NEED them? Can you depend on them to be an asset in your MAG, and not a liability?
Some important reasons to cultivate a MAG:
- Community-based organization
- Establish a communication plan during power, internet, or cell phone outages
- Securing life and property from gang or mob riots or other violent or destructive activity
- Preparing for emergencies or adverse weather events
- Emergency/non-emergency activation
- Search and rescue after natural disasters
- Readiness drills and training
- Team building opportunities
- Benefits of bartering and trade
- Food, water and first-aid prepping
- Boosting morale and community culture/involvement
- Operational Security (OPSEC) requirements

In today’s Tireside Chat, I address the use of logical fallacies during debates over hotly contested topics, especially ad hominem character attacks.
Ad hominem is from the Latin “against the man,” and is often employed as an emotional reaction by a person or group who has lost a debate and therefore must attempt to discredit the character of the messenger instead of dealing directly with the content of their message itself.
This phenomenon has increased exponentially since the rise of the Trump effect throughout western culture and his administration’s policies against wokeness.

The term “conspiracy theorist” was invented and made popular intentionally by the Central Intelligence Agency in an effort to attack and discredit those who questioned the official narrative surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in relation to not only scientific evidence and eyewitness testimonies which contradicted the official government narrative, but also average American citizens who were critical thinkers and simply didn’t believe the Warren Commission or what the mainstream media was reporting to them.
Kevin Barrett of Press TV remarked the following:
”People who use the terms ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘conspiracy theorist’ as an insult are doing so as the result of a well-documented, undisputed, historically real conspiracy by the CIA to cover-up the JFK assassination. That campaign, by the way, was completely illegal, and the CIA officers involved were criminals; the CIA is barred from all domestic activities, yet routinely breaks the law to conduct domestic operations ranging from propaganda to assassinations."
Barrett also concluded that the abstract study conducted at the University of Kent, in the United Kingdom, found:
“In short, the new study by Wood and Douglas suggests that the negative stereotype of the conspiracy theorist – a hostile fanatic wedded to the truth of his own fringe theory – accurately describes the people who defend the official account of 9/11, not those who dispute it.”
In 2009, John Farmer, Jr., Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, wrote in page 2 of his book, 'The Ground Truth: The Story Behind American’s Defense on 9/11':
"In the course of our investigation into the national response to the attacks, the 9/11 Commission staff discovered that the official version of what had occurred that morning—that is, what government and military officials had told Congress, the Commission, the media, and the public about who knew what when—was almost entirely, and inexplicably, untrue."
Farmer continued:
“At some level of the government, at some point in time . . . there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened.”
John Farmer flat out told his readers that the 9/11 Commission didn't lie to us directly; they simply presented the general public with lies that the government and military officials told the commission to tell.
Before 9/11, and before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, it was okay to question authority. After those events, it was is considered "unpatriotic."
"You know, the Government has a very tremendous propensity for secrecy, and the Defense Department and others do as well. Its always about protection of the Institution at the end." — Janice Kephart, 9/11 Commission Counsel
Conspiracy theories always sound crazy until you start investigating them.

In this episode we review the Balfour Declaration, a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated November 2nd, 1917, from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain. The text of the declaration was published in the press on November 9th, 1917.
Why is this important in the context of the JFK Files? Because the political state of Israel was founded 8 months after the OSS via the Balfour Declaration, which was planned and created entirely by international Zionists in the British government in London and in New York.
I understand the differences between Zionists and the average Jewish citizen. Their goals are not the same, as outlined by Theodore Herzl and other framers of Zionist ideology.
An uninformed man in the comments section of a social media group on this topic commented to the other group members a warning, to “Watch out for this guy, He’s a raging anti-semite, and actually BELIEVES in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion!” All because I merely read from a very old copy of the manuscript in a prior podcast. And then, he made me unable to respond to his comment, like most people of that mindset who are intolerant and supportive of the censorship and silencing of their opposition.
My long-time readers and viewers know that I read pretty much everything, listen to everyone, quote from people I agree with and disagree with, and I never believe any of it unless I can verify it in my own research, or prove that their words became action. , some of the best advice I ever received, which forever changed the way I process information. I wish everyone could adopt this precept.
The OSS, who and what were they? The Office of Strategic Services, the progenitor of the CIA, was founded Entirely by the Knights Templar. 33rd Degree Mason, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, appointed General William J. Donovan, a highly decorated World War I officer and a Templar Knight, as the Director of the OSS. Co-founders, Allen Dulles, William Casey, William Colby, and James Jesus Angleton, were also ALL members of the Templar order.
In the next episode we will show how the Q operation was formed as a long-term covert military counterinsurgency operation immediately following the assassination of President Kennedy, and how Donald Trump was recruited 60 years later to be the public face of it. Please stay tuned for that!
In this episode, we also do a short recap of William Greer, the driver of Kennedy’s limousine, whom we touched upon in our previous episode.
Included is a photo of the bloody limousine, one of the only pictures of this before the evidence was destroyed and the windshield of the limo went missing, evidence which would have proven multiple shooters to the Warren Commission.
"WHO was responsible for the removal of JFK's protective bubble top that day? Here's what we know today:
Bill Moyers, who is a current liberal media talking head and former ordained minister, was an aide to Vice President Johnson in 1963. The Secret Service reported that Bill Moyers went to them before the Dallas motorcade and told them, "The president wants this damned bubble top removed now!" Funny talk for an ordained minister, but Kennedy aides Jerry Bruno and Kenny O'Donnell later testified to the Warren Commission that President John Kennedy gave NO such order regarding the removal of the protective bubble-top.
We know who DID NOT give that order, but whomever DID give that order was he (or THEY) who had the means, the motive and the manpower to kill the president; he (or THEY) who benefitted and stood to gain from the outcome. "
William Greer continued his Secret Service career until retiring in 1966, and passed away on February 19, 1985, in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Next in this episode, we show WHO benefitted from Kennedy’s death, and WHY they killed him, since the WHY is rarely covered.
WHY was JFK killed?
At the end of Oliver Stone’s 1991 film ‘JFK’, New Orleans District attorney Jim Garrison, acted by Kevin Costner, who was investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy, asked CIA Agent X a question while sitting on a park bench on the National Mall, and Oliver Stone answered it in symbolism.
“I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the Establishment. Is that why?”
Agent X answered him, saying:
“Well, that's the real question, isn't it? Why? The 'How' and the 'Who' is just scenery for the public. Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia, keeps 'em guessing like some kind of parlor game. Prevents 'em from asking the most important question: Why? Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?...”
Who, indeed? Director Oliver Stone answered Agent X’s question in symbolism, showing the Obelisk, the Generative force of Freemasonry, over his shoulder, with the Capitol dome, the Womb of Isis, in the distance.
That context was omitted from this copy of the video, but here is the unedited copy by William Cooper from his Mystery Babylon series, at the (1:06:56) mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP__8klIsNw&rco=1
The revelation of the method? Truth in movies? Lies in the news?
It is the Penis of Osiris, the phallus, the lost Word, the Light, the Intellect, Lucifer, the generative force of Freemasonry, from their own writings.
Recall Kennedy’s ‘President and the Press’ speech warning about “secret societies, secret proceedings, and secret oaths,” and “secrecy being repugnant in a free and open society.”

Music: "The Early Days, Massapequa, 1957", by John Williams, from the film ‘Born On The Fourth Of July’
"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand." – Genesis 4:8-11
In this podcast, we show how YouTube censored my content on the Protocols of Zion, claiming that it "incites hatred against individuals or groups based on their protected group status." I appealed their decision and they reinstated my video.
We also show how Israeli Intelligence and the Mossad were inextricably linked to the cover-up of the truth about JFK’s assassination and who really did it. The CIA requested that any mention of Israeli Intelligence involvement be redacted from the files and kept out of the scrutiny of the Warren Commission. The newly released JFK files CONFIRM a secret intelligence pipeline between the CIA and Israeli intelligence, personally overseen by CIA's Zionist counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angelton.
Clandestine’s post on X reviewed the fact that the JFK files are less about JFK’s assassination, and more so an accumulation of evidence that the CIA are NOT carrying out their primary mission of “intelligence-gathering”, and instead are focused on regime change around the globe.
JFK found out, and they didn’t like that.
JFK uncovered that the CIA were NOT serving the American People, and were only serving their own personal interests, which was mostly global domination via espionage and covert operations.
JFK found out the CIA were essentially trying to take over the world, and he tried to stop them.
Scotty Mar10’s video "The Declaration of Independence" on X covered President Trump exposing Arthur Schlesinger’s full 15-page memo calling for JFK to break-up the CIA in 1961. It also reviews President Truman's fears about the CIA and its counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton's quote:
“The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted... outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power.”
It also covered Israeli Intelligence, the Mossad, and Gislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell's child trafficking network. Also that the CIA was founded on September 18, 1947, and the political state of Israel was founded 8 months later on May 14, 1948 via the Balfour Declaration.

Music: “The Will of Good Men” by Trevor Jones, from the film ‘Thirteen Days’
"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand." – Genesis 4:8-11
On October 13 [Friday the 13th] in the year 1307, King Philip IV of France [who had often turned to the Templar treasury for loans to buttress his reign and his campaigns of war], committed the the first recorded “October surprise”. Working in collusion with his close personal French ally, Pope Clement V, they moved in secret with brutal dispatch, to condemn the Knights Templar [who had amassed great wealth, power, and influence as transnational money-lenders] to arrest them and torture them to death in order to end their threat to his power base and to set an example.
The Pope and his lackey King owed the Templars a fortune in loans for military campaigns that they couldn’t pay back. So, instead, they betrayed and vilified the Templars.
At King Philip's order, around 5,000 Templars were arrested on a specific day and time throughout France,October the 13th.Then, the order was given to have the incarcerated Templars severely tortured into confessions of blasphemy and other religious crimes by the Dominican inquisitionon November 22nd, the exact date which John F. Kennedy, the first Roman Catholic President, was killed in Dealey Plaza in 1963. Dealey Plaza is the outdoor Masonic temple of the Sun, shaped like a pyramid, and dedicated to George Bannerman Dealey, the first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Dallas, Texas. And it is situated exactly on the 33rd Parallel.
36 Templar knights perished under torture, and the remaining Templars were given to the flames in public immolation, to set an example. The Templars' Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, and fellow Templar Geoffrey de Charney, were later burned at the stakeon March the 11th, 1313 [the street address of Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Walt Disney being himself a 33rd Degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite].
Spies intercepted the dispatches and tipped-off their ships’ captains who sailed away the night before, carrying the bulk of their vast wealth aboard their fleet of merchant ships. Those new outlaws sailed southwest and became the Pirates of the Caribbean, sailing under the same banner as the Skull and Bones of their Templar Brotherhood. Only now, the thigh bones crossing under the skull became the crossed cutlass swords we know today in history and in popular culture. 🏴☠️
The Roman Church and the Lodge have been at war ever since.
If you add November 22: 11 + 22 = 33. Judge Earl Warren of the Warren Commission was a 33rd Degree Freemason. So was George Herbert Walker Bush, the then-CIA section chief who was photographed in Dealey Plaza that very day. Bush Senior was also a degreed member of the Skull and Bones fraternal order at Yale University, the “Brotherhood of Death”. Lee Harvey Oswald was also photographed standing in the doorway of the Book Depository building looking on as JFK’s limousine passed by on Elm Street. And the unedited Zapruder film shows Secret Service member William Greer, the driver of JFK’s limousine, inflicting the fatal head wound that killed Kennedy.
William Greer (born September 22, 1909), a 33rd degree Mason of the Scottish Rite, was the Secret Service driver of Kennedy's limousine on that day, November 22, 1963. A career chauffeur, Greer drove the 1961 Lincoln Continental during the motorcade in Dallas. He is observed in the unedited Zapruder film as the individual turning around, brandishing a nickel-plated pistol, and firing the weapon at Kennedy’s head.
