The more I dig through this stuff, the more I realize we still haven’t gotten to some of the biggest documents yet. @DataRepublican has already done an incredible job showing what they were preparing for inside the government. This document looks like the plan for what happens outside the government once they decide the trigger has been hit. And FTR, this is WAY beyond people sitting around talking about “resistance.” It’s an April 2026 draft called “The Metro Alignment Playbook,” and it lays out a city-by-city plan to create economic disruption during an election crisis. The idea is basically to identify the corporations that carry the most economic power in each city, figure out where they’re vulnerable, and then build the labor, faith, community, political, and small-business infrastructure needed to pressure them when the time comes. Then they start naming actual targets. Wall Street. Silicon Valley. The Los Angeles ports. Delta hubs in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Minneapolis, and Detroit. Target in Minnesota. Banks, oil companies, defense contractors, tech companies, and whatever major corporation carries the most influence in each city. And honestly, the activation section is where this gets pretty insane. “NYC unleashes on Wall Street.” “Minneapolis and Detroit shut down Delta hubs at the airports. Atlanta does the same.” “LA calls strikes at the port and elsewhere.” “California starts a caravan to Silicon Valley and clogs it up.” It says every city should already know its role, its target, and the economic costs it is supposed to impose. “Nobody is waiting for orders.” If election certification is delayed or elected officials aren’t seated, the plan escalates into general strikes, coordinated business closures, boycotts, walkouts, and occupations of corporate headquarters. They even talk about using smaller events as rehearsals to test whether the whole system works before the real “All In” moment happens. I think that’s the part people need to understand. This ia actual operational framework with named cities, named corporations, trigger events, rehearsals, legal preparation, communications strategy, and multiple levels of escalation already mapped out. They are building a decentralized system capable of creating coordinated economic pressure across major American cities during the 2026 election certification period.

Don is spot on about Talarico…
Replying to @Fair_and_Biased
Standard occultism. This is Oprah's and Osteen's "many paths to god," and they don't mean the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They believe in an unknowable god that is building up its own consciousness through us. They believe that there is a lost, ancient religion to which Hinduism is most similar. That lost religion is the prisca theologia, the ancient wisdom, or whatever. Anyway, whatever any particular flavor of occultism calls it, all of today's world religions are shadows of it. Each conceals some of its mysteries in its scriptures and, of course, only occult initiates can comprehend these secretes hidden in the texts. The occultist will tell you that all of today's world religions point to the same, ancient wisdom but at the same time obfuscate it and misdirect people into false theologies, bogus rules, incorrect accounts of creation, and on and on. Occultists regard important figures in world religions as "ascended masters" who figured out how to access the divine through raising their consciousness. Because they raised their consciousness sufficiently, they ascended to a higher form of existence. This would include Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and so forth. So, when Talarico talks about how Jesus is love not lord and how different religions call him different names, that's what he's talking about. He's referring to the occult doctrine that all world religions point to the same religion, and that the leading figures in world religions all ascended because they understood how to access the divine.

Amazing how destructive central planning can be…
In 1960 the Aral Sea was the fourth-largest lake on Earth, and the fishing towns on its shore were hauling in 160 tons of fish a day. Then a cotton plan written in Moscow sent the sea's two rivers into the fields. By 2009, more than 90% of the sea's water was gone. This is what Soviet central planning did to nature. 🧵

Today I walked into the White House. 🇺🇸 My mission to end child transition worldwide has the backing of the most powerful government on earth. 6 years ago this was a solo fight. Hour upon hour spent on the streets of Canada, next to no support, not knowing a soul in this fight, but never discouraged! I have always known the victories that await. I have always had faith that others would join the cause and in time we would stop this madness, everywhere. Well, we are! 👉🏼 billboardchris.com/world-pro… Much work to be done, but today I'm meeting with leaders at the highest levels of the U.S. government. I've also spoken up for kids at the EU Parliament (twice), the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, and the UN in New York, and been featured (by critics) on the main stage at the World Economic Forum. I've met with members of Congress, testified before the Florida State legislature, helped ban this in Oklahoma, and sat down with lawmakers in the Canadian Parliament and in legislatures from B.C. to Washington, California, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Scotland, England, Israel, and Australia. In Brussels I met elected representatives from a dozen more European countries. I've also been to jail 3 times, been arrested 5 times in 4 countries, had more than 300 visits from police, but never been charged with anything. All arrests were either after I was assaulted, or because I simply refused to yield to an angry mob and police who insisted I leave. The answer to "Will you relinquish your rights to satisfy this violent mob?" will always be NO. I've been assaulted dozens of times, had my arm broken, been mobbed by hundreds, painted on, spat on, car keyed, tires destroyed, and even had a catalytic converter stolen in Oakland. Note to self: don't stay in a cheap hotel in Oakland. Hundreds of houses in my neighborhood have received mail from Antifa, trying to destroy my reputation, but all that did was bring in more support. Normal people don't like when kids are being harmed. I even sued the Australian government when they tried to censor me on X, and won! Mostly, I've spoken with thousands upon thousands of people on the street, in 14 countries, helping parents protect their kids, and reached millions more online. We are winning because we tell the truth: that children are beautiful just as they are, no drugs or scalpels needed! And we are going to stop child transition everywhere, no matter how long it takes. If you wish to support me in this fight, I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you! billboardchris.com/donate

PAY ATTENTION, AMERICA: ESPECIALLY MICHIGAN AND TEXAS - STUDY WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN BRAZIL - THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR COUNTRY! Brazil is following Venezuela's path, and the same terror network is already at work here. Lula, an 80-year-old leftist who spent 580 days in prison on major Car Wash corruption convictions, just won a fourth term. In 2021 Brazil’s Supreme Court overturned those convictions on a technicality (the original court lacked jurisdiction). It was not a finding of innocence. The convictions that made him ineligible were wiped out, allowing him to run for President again. Many of the judges Lula or his party had nominated during his earlier years in power. Flávio Bolsonaro (Jair’s son) won the first round outright, roughly 47% to Lula’s 45%. On election day, the Supreme Court ordered a last-minute two-hour nationwide voting extension right around the scheduled 5 p.m. closing time. The justice who issued it was Cristiano Zanin - Lula’s former personal lawyer in the Car Wash cases, whom Lula later appointed to the court. Result: Lula ~51.8%, Flávio ~48.2%. Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to concede. He says he will not recognize the result and is seeking annulment of the runoff. He called the extension an unprecedented mid-game rule change by a conflicted justice that broke equal treatment between voters and created chaos at polling places. Jair Bolsonaro is still locked up. He is serving a 27-year sentence for the alleged “coup” after 2022. Because of serious health problems (nearly killed in a 2018 stabbing by a Lula-type supporter, later treated for pneumonia), he is under house arrest with ongoing restrictions (ankle monitor, limits on visitors and communication). He cannot vote, run, or be free. This is the playbook we documented in 2021. In Venezuela a left-dominated Supreme Court paved the way for Hugo Chávez. In Brazil the court nullified the Car Wash convictions, released Lula, and put the institutions that count and certify votes under its control. After Bolsonaro’s 2018 win, it acted as the opposition, censoring critics, investigating supporters, and blocking efforts to make the electronic voting system auditable. The same Marxist and Islamic networks are already operating in America and they are celebrating this. George Soros and the groups he funds, along with progressive NGOs, activist judges, and left-wing operatives, spend heavily to reshape courts, prosecutors, and rules. Candidates like Talerico in Texas and Abdul in Michigan fit the model: the same institutional-capture playbook that just locked in another Lula term in Brazil. They do not need to win every argument with voters. They change the machinery so ordinary people lose control. Brazil is the preview. Read the 2021 RAIR Foundation article “Brazil Under Attack.” Vote. Show up. Organize. Do not wait. Read here: rairfoundation.com/brazil-un…
Lula Lula Lula! Congrats to Brazil for standing up against authoritarianism once again! 🇧🇷 ⚖️✌️

Important to understand…
Collectivism and individualism are two doctrines about how individuals should interact in a collective. A lot of people miss that. They assume the individualist wants every man alone in his room. He doesn’t. Individualism and collectivism agree that collectives can be good. They hold that collectives are good for different reasons. The collectivist says the group is the point. You exist to serve it. Your good is whatever it needs from you this week. The individualist sees it another way. A collective is good because it’s good for the people in it. A marriage is worth building because a real husband and a real wife are better off inside it. So is a church. So is a nation. Let’s trace the logic. To hold that a collective can be a value to the individual, for his own sake, would be to affirm individualism. Most Christians already believe that about their families and their churches. They just haven’t been told what it’s called. That’s good news. You can build your household and your church for the sake of the people in them, and they’ll be stronger for it. The question was never whether we should have collectives. The question is what is primary. That determines the whole value structure.

Confucius Classrooms were found in K12 school districts adjacent to over 30 US military bases. Some of these districts imported CCP vetted Chinese Nationals to teach in those schools - which included access to district networks. This is in addition to the programming's soft power influence over American teachers and students.

Every time I write about my interactions with Muslims, some people say I make these conversations up to sell my book. Well, this time, as usual, I decided to have a conversation with a random Muslim Uber driver in Manhatten, who is not an “Islamist,” just a normal Muslim, and show you what any honest Muslim who is not trying to deceive you or whitewash Islam believes. Watch until the end, because what he says in the last 20 seconds is the most important part. As I always tell you, Islam is a state that has a religion. That state has a constitution called Sharia, a foreign-policy doctrine called jihad, and frontiers that are always expanding. All Muslims must believe that Islam will eventually rule the world because that is what Allah and Muhammad said, and all Muslims must support this endeavor whether by hand, tongue, or heart. There is no such thing as Islamism. It is a Western construct used to whitewash Islam. The so-called moderate Muslims represent Islam just as much as a porn star wearing a cross necklace represents Christianity. Just know that if you vote for a Muslim for public office, then you are likely voting for someone who is on a mission to see Islam rule this country.

Amazing post…
I thought of a good way to explain what being a leftist is like. This post reminded me of it for reasons I'll touch on at the end. It's hating reality so much that the suffering you experience in relation to it unconsciously labels it as perhaps the most unjust phenomenon of all time, and by contrast (NOT by conscious decision, this is important) makes you the most just being in existence; something that is above reality itself by critiquing it. Once you're that, all of your ideas become the product of hyper-moral, hyer-compelling insight because a program has been installed in you that ALL dissent itself is sourced from something evil. This is why it becomes self-worship and God-hating, because fundamentally the existence of reality is Truth (religiously, God). When you hate reality, you deny it - and to deny it is to shroud your ability to see it intentionally like an addiction, because each denial gives you a hit of omnipotent interpretation. In other words, you bathe in total darkness (negative theology, critical theory, w/e) so that your mind is the only thing generating input ("light"); guessing, anticipating, assuming, theorizing, visualizing. Because there is no ooutside input, you constantly get proven correct because you are the only signal in the darkness you saturate in, you simulate being your own creator by forcing yourself into continual refusal of reality. It's a religion of misery that demands everyone cease understanding reality as it is so they can experience the all-seeing mind that you have in your self-designed prison of darkness. But it doesn't "feel" like misery because you interpret it as salvific enlightenment free of constraints (gnosis, w/e). Because the dark is infinite (hell being a bottomless pit), you have infinite source material to think you are God so long as you stay there. Leaving requires the sacrifice of every vision you have built in your subjective world and trusting the force that made you want to leave reality in the first place; Truth (God). This is why it's basically impossible to reason with people who are far gone. It's like a mind that made its own identity trauma, and the trauma is the only stable sense of reality that makes them a good (or worthy) person. The sub-variants of being above oppressive constructs are all the variants of woke you've seen over the past decade, but fundamentally (distilled), it is hatred of anything that constrains absolute freedom (so reality; life). I talk a lot about the terrible mind-heckery that is the trans cult because it is perhaps the closest in proximity to acting out the distilled reality of this mindset. In this case, the response to Prisha is simply the return to an argument about what a woman is, but without any positive (concrete) terms that make it interpretable by anyone but the person trying to "return to the darkness where your mind is the only thing generating truth." The point is to always, always stay in the dark realm - to continue with sophisticated or emotional questioning and pontification to slowly (maybe dialectically) pull you into a place where hiding from reality makes your own preferred creative subjective interpretations hyper-valid so you get a hit of the dopamine that is an epiphany with no possibility for dissent; a mystical experience of "seeing the code." This is the kind of stuff that Marxism does - see darkness everywhere, but with yourself as the one who will bring the light of your own mind to fill the entire world.

I am from a city called Jerash, today it is insignificant, a forgotten, decaying place. But once, it was great. It was Jarasa, a thriving city of the Greco-Roman world, a beacon of culture, knowledge, and civilization. Then, Islam arrived. My ancestors were forced to convert, their heritage erased, and their land stripped of its brilliance. What was once a center of civilization became a ruin, another casualty of Islam’s relentless march. This wasn’t just Jerash. It was Lebanon. It was Syria. It was Iraq. It was Egypt. These lands weren’t always the Islamic backwaters they are today. They were hubs of knowledge, trade, philosophy, and empire. Then Islam came. It deformed them, crushed their identities, and plunged them into centuries of regression. Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, of towering pyramids, of an empire that shaped history, was swallowed by an ideology that replaced its greatness with religious stagnation. Islam was the greatest colonial project in history. It expanded by force, erasing entire civilizations and replacing them with submission to an Arab warlord from the 7th century. And yet, the stupid Western left, the so-called defenders of “decolonization,” bend over backward to give Islam a pass. They scream about colonialism when it comes to the West but ignore the Islamic colonization of entire peoples, cultures, and lands. They want to hand the West over to the very force that already destroyed the East.

Let me tell you what Islam did to Greece and the rest of the world: In the 1.300 years of Muslim-Arab slave trade, approximately a million Greeks were sold as slaves just because they were Christians. On March 30, 1822, the Chios Massacre took place. The Muslim Turks slaughtered (Greeks) 42,000 women, men & children. Additionally, 52,000 were sold as slaves in the markets of Smyrna & Constantinople. Young girls were raped publicly in the streets, and newlyweds in front of their husbands, who were then slaughtered. Others were raped in front of their parents, after which the men's genitals were cut off. Women over 40 were set on fire and left to burn alive. Pregnant women had their bellies ripped open and their fetuses pulled out, while small children were thrown forcefully against rocks. The frenzy of the Muslims was unprecedented. On September 1, 1821, Samothrace was devastated by the Ottomans through a general massacre led by the Turkish Kara Ali. Approximately 10,000 men & boys were slaughtered. Women & children were sold in the markets of Constantinople & Smyrna (Holocaust of Samothrace). On June 4, 1821, the Turks carried out a massacre against the Greeks of Kydonies in Asia Minor (modern-day Ayvalık). They did pogroms at shops and homes, looting them, while seizing women and children to sell as slaves. Simultaneously, they conducted a general massacre of the population, and the town was set ablaze and completely destroyed. In Crete muslims carried chains with them to tie up Greek Christian women so they could take them away. For 300 years the muslim Turks were stealing kids from their mothers. This was the most brutal thing humanity ever witnessed. They were waiting for women to birth, raise their kids, and then at the age of 8 were collecting the them. The devşirme known as "collection of children" or "blood tax" or in Greek as "paidomazoma". After the Ottoman conquest of Crete (1669), local officials and governors began to oppress the Christian population in every way: killing, abducting and abusing women, demanding money, and preventing the performance of the subjects' religious duties. We Greeks, called the Muslim Turks, "The grand masters of torture." In 1821, in Patras, they captured a father and son and, after impaling them, lit a fire and forced the other captives to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha at that point was more inventive: When he impaled Christians, he forced their relatives to turn the spit, threatening that otherwise he would impale them too. The Muslim Pasha of Thessaloniki, Abdul Abud, who had set as his goal the extermination of the Greeks, burned 120 villages and wiped out their inhabitants to the last one. 5.000 Greeks were massacred in Naousa, the rest were sold in slave markets, and the entire city was reduced to ashes. The most common torture inflicted by the Muslims during the Ottoman period was whipping. The usual victims were the Christians. It was the introductory torment in every other torture, so common in the persecutions of Christians that the phrase became proverbial: "I will whip you until you change your faith." During the Ottoman period, Muslims enjoyed performing all kinds of mutilations. Ears, noses, lips, tongues, breasts, and genitals were primarily cut off. Not just those, though. Let's recall here the newly-revealed Saint Raphael of Mytilene, who was hanged from a tree and had his lower jaw cut off, while the twelve-year-old martyr Irene was roasted in a barrel on the Tuesday of Easter in the year 1463, ten years after the fall of Constantinople. In 1822, Muslims captured the wives of Zafeirakis and Gatsos. The wife of Zafeirakis was built into the wall up to the neck in the church of Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki. Maria Karatasou, daughter of a priest refused to change faith, and for this Ebub Lubut enclosed her in a sack with deadly snakes, where she martyred. The Greek Christian Woman, during the years when Greece was enslaved to the Muslim Turks, in order to avoid -as much as she could- the abhorrent dishonor from the barbaric Muslims, would destroy the youthful beauty of her face, or create a family from the age of fourteen, believing that she would not give birth to slaves. Muslim Turks committed the Greek Genocide 1913–1923) to create their pan-Islamic pseudo nation called Turkey. They killed 750.000 Muslim Turks committed the Armenian Genocide 1914–1923). They killed 1.500.000 Muslim Turks committed the Assyrian Genocide 1914–1920). They killed 300.000 Muslim Turks committed the Hamidian massacres (1894–1896) and Adana massacre (1909): 350.000 total Muslims commited GENOCIDES and Islamized the Anatolia. On September 1955 in Constantinople 4,348 Greek businesses, 110 hotels, 27 pharmacies, 23 schools, and 73 churches were damaged or destroyed. The exodus of Greeks from Turkey, reduced the community of over 150.000 (who have already left from the Fall), to fewer than 2.000 today. Muslim Arabs did the Trans-Saharan slave trade (650–1900). The longest slave trade in human history (1.300 years). Estimates of 6–10 million sub-Saharan Africans. It was them who were selling black slaves. Muslim Arabs did the East African / Red Sea / Indian Ocean trade to the Middle East and Arabia. Slave markets with millions of slaves. 1.3–2.5 million over centuries Muslim Arabs did the Barbary corsair slave trade (16th–early 19th centuries): Estimated 1–1.25 million Europeans slaves Millions of massacres in Italy and Spain by the Islamic Caliphates. 60-70 millions of people died in India and the Islamic pseudo-nation of Pakistan was created. Muslims enslaved Afhganistan you stupid uneducated Turk. Muslims enslaved Iraq you uneducated Turk. Muslims enslaved and slaughtered the Christians in every single country you mentioned in Middle East. No one of the events you mentioned committed because of a religion but every single historical event I mentioned you was committed because of Islam and the Quran. Islamic imperialism and expansionisms is the biggest and most murderous in human history. Africa and Middle east are enslaved from Islam. They were never muslim countries and the people suffer under the sharia law. In 2015, 21 Egyptian Copts beheaded in Libya (video released by ISIS). Islam literally genocided the Copts in Egypt and destroyed this historical nation. al-Qaeda did the 11 September 2001 (US) 11 March 2004 (Madrid train bombings): 191 killed. 12 October 2002 (Bali bombings): 202 killed. 13 November 2015 (Paris attacks, including Bataclan): 130 killed (Islamic State) Islam is cancer. Ottoman Empire and the Caliphates did harmed unimaginably the world and went the sciences and human progression 1.000 years back into darkness. Constantinople went from the most advanced city (The richest and most advanced city for 1.000 years) to the most underdeveloped city under the muslim rule (after the fall in 1453). Every single country in Africa and Middle East is now a destroyed country because of you. Lebanon was the Paris of Middle East. Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq all the cities were proud and beautiful. Islam brought only death and destruction. You provide nothing to our world therefore you deserve nothing. - Homer Pavlos

I’ve seen title IX coordinators, who are usually public school employees or people contracted and paid handsomely by the district (they are often lawyers), explain very carefully to girls who want to formally file a complaint under Title IX that they will be interviewed numerous times, that the person they accuse will probably find out who they are, that their schoolmates will likely also find out who they are, and that it will be very hard for them emotionally. Of course, after they warn the girls of the costs of speaking out, they tell them they should just be brave and continue with the process. It should surprise no one that the parents of minor girls, upon hearing this, quickly lose their interest in lodging a formal complaint and often simply leave the school. This allows whatever malfeasance is going on to continue. Without an official complaint, there’s no reason to investigate very hard and, if the accused is a unionized employee, their contract makes it difficult to investigate further. If abuse is happening, it often continues, with different victims, of course, because there’s no incentive to look into bad behavior when Title IX policy, as executed by schools, places almost all the pain on the victims, regardless of the preponderance of evidence in texts, emails, videos, witness statements, etc.

This is good. Webbon replies with a strawman comment that James is blindly advocating for the current state of affairs. James is advocating for preserving what is good and worthy about our heritage as Westerners and understanding how we got here.
Only someone who understands nothing about conservatism at all could possibly say this. Or, in fact, a Nazi, since Hitler said the same thing, roughly, calling them "his Volk" and the "national bourgeoisie," respectively Conservatism is recognizing the inheritance of both a people and their way of life, including their values and traditions, passed from one generation to the next with rather high fidelity. Conservatives understand that they're the present link on the chain of this sacred inheritance so that the past upon which their lives were built and the future to which they are its current stewards don't lose what's there in some reckless, foolish, or selfish and fleeting pursuit. Conservatism is the child asking the question, the grandparent telling the story that answers, and the parents in between helping the child understand that story. Conservatism fears the fact that "the people" are fickle and easily distracted, of not misled, and need roots, values, and traditions that have been tested over generations and proved over lifetimes stacked atop one another to act as rudder and stabilizer for any populism. Conservatism rejects the errors of a generation for a chain of being and civilizational inheritance that's no further away from anyone than the dinner table. How bogus and pathetic Joel is.
