Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Echoes from the Past: The Mob’s Electoral Grip, Trump’s Casino War, FBI’s 2025 Gambling Bust
https://x.com/Derpst8d/status/2015101219975676136?
Excerpt:
Organized crime has long shaped American politics by rigging elections and forging alliances with power brokers. From 19th-century Irish gangs in New York to 20th-century Italian Mafia families in Chicago, the Mob delivered votes for profit and protection. Democrats, dominant in urban immigrant hubs, leaned heavily on Mob muscle, though Republicans also played the game. This article explores the Mob’s electoral sway, Donald Trump’s pivotal role in dismantling it via Atlantic City casinos, and the striking parallels with the FBI’s Operation ‘Zhen Diagram’ and ‘Nothing but Bet’ gambling bust on October 23, 2025.
Tammany Hall and the Early Mob-Democratic Alliance (1800s)
Prohibition Era: Mob Power Expands (1920s)
Post-WWII Machines and the Kefauver Hearings (1940s–1950s)
The 1960 Election and Shifting Republican Responses
Trump Enters the Mob-Infested Atlantic City Landscape (1970s–1980s)
In the 1970s and 1980s, Donald Trump entered Atlantic City’s Mob-infested landscape after New Jersey legalized gambling in 1976. Genovese, Gambino, and Philly’s Scarfo families controlled construction, unions, and gambling, rigging local elections to protect their rackets. Building an empire meant dealing with Mob-linked firms like S&A Concrete (run by Anthony Salerno and Paul Castellano), which cost $7.8 million for Trump Plaza. Trump played the game to get started, but his moves suggest a deeper plan to expose the Mob.
Overpaying and Setting Traps: Trump’s Early Deals
Trump purchased a land parcel for $1.1 million from Philly hitman Salvatore Testa, far above market value. His casinos (Trump Plaza 1984, Trump Castle 1985, Taj Mahal 1990) faced fines: $200,000 in 1990 for yielding to Gambino associate Robert LiButti’s racist demands, and $477,000 in 1998 for money-laundering lapses. These deals were unavoidable for a real estate titan, but Trump, who hated being controlled, used them to set up the Mob.
Proactive FBI Cooperation Before the Casinos Opened
In fall 1981, before Trump Plaza opened, Donald Trump proactively contacted the FBI, offering to let agents go undercover in his casinos to monitor Mob activity. FBI memos confirm he initiated the meeting and pledged full cooperation. No public follow-up emerged, likely to protect Trump’s safety amid deadly Mob hits like Salvatore Testa’s 1981 bombing, (killed by a bomb filled with nails) Labor consultant Daniel Sullivan (FBI informant tied to Mob figures) working Trump’s sites hints at this early setup.
Exposing Mob Activity Through Casino Operations
Trump’s casinos became magnets for Mob activity, exposing their electoral and financial schemes. Robert LiButti tied to Gambino boss John Gotti laundered millions at Trump Plaza, leading to his 1991 ban from New Jersey casinos and providing key intel that contributed to Gotti’s 1992 conviction on racketeering charges. S&A Concrete’s cartel controlled by Genovese boss Anthony Salerno and Gambino’s Paul Castellano was busted in the 1985-1986 Mafia Commission Trial led by Rudy Giuliani, convicting Salerno to 100 years in prison and dismantling the concrete monopoly that fueled Mob construction rackets. Trump testified peripherally in related proceedings, faced no charges, and helped weaken Mob influence over local politics by drawing attention to these operations through casino scrutiny and fines.
Bankruptcies as a Strategic Blow to Mob Revenue
Trump’s casino bankruptcies in 1991 and 1992 (involving $1.2 billion in debt) starved Mob revenue from construction kickbacks and union rackets that funded vote-rigging in Atlantic City. The timing aligns with RICO’s dismantling of Mob power: Salerno, Gotti, and Scarfo (sentenced to life in 1988) fell as Trump’s casinos imploded. The Chapter 11 filings restructured massive debts, with Trump ceding equity and assets but keeping his name on the properties and licensing deals intact. Through the 1990s, he focused on debt workouts, brand licensing (hotels, products), and new ventures like public offerings and golf courses. By 2002, producer Mark Burnett pitched him a reality show concept; The Apprentice launched in January 2004, turning Trump into a household TV name and further cementing his comeback. Trump emerged unscathed, pivoting to television fame.
Trump’s Motives: Brand Protection, Survival, and Mentorship
Trump had clear motives for targeting the Mob. Protecting his brand was critical; any real or perceived Mob ties could have destroyed his global ambitions and family name something he explicitly told the FBI in 1981 when he proactively offered cooperation. Outlasting mobbed-up casino rivals like Bally’s and Resorts International provided a competitive edge in a rigged market where others paid kickbacks or stayed silent. Survival was paramount amid the violent 1980s Mob landscape, including high-profile hits like Paul Castellano’s execution outside Sparks Steak House in 1985. Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn the ruthless attorney who represented bosses like Tony Salerno and taught Trump aggressive legal tactics, media warfare, and never-settle philosophy died of AIDS in 1986, leaving Trump with hard-learned lessons on navigating the underworld without getting compromised or indebted. Cohn’s mantra“Don’t settle, don’t back down” became Trump’s playbook for dealing with the rackets.
Mobsters’ Own Words: Trump as “Uncompromisable”
Mobsters described Trump as “uncompromisable”. Daniel Sullivan told Wayne Barrett in 1992 that Trump was “too smart to jam up” and didn’t follow Mob rules. Kenneth Shapiro testified in 1988 that Trump was a “tough mark” who “flipped the script.” Vincent Cafaro stated Trump paid S&A’s inflated prices but offered no loyalty. Gambino underboss “Sammy The Bull” Gravano said: “Trump wouldn’t bite” and “had FBI all around him” … “forget about Trump.”
Ties to Giuliani and Quiet Intel Flow
Trump’s close relationship with Rudy Giuliani U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York 1983-1985 strengthens the case. Giuliani’s aggressive RICO trials crushed the very families Trump dealt with, including the Mafia Commission Trial (1985-1986) that convicted Genovese boss Anthony Salerno and weakened Gambino and Lucchese structures. By 1993 they were golf buddies, and Trump backed Giuliani’s mayoral campaigns with donations and public support. Former FBI agent Mark Rossini a veteran of organized-crime squads speculated Trump was a “hip-pocket” source informal, deniable asset feeding intel quietly to disrupt Mob schemes, aligning perfectly with the proactive cooperation Trump offered the Bureau in 1981.
No Dirt Despite Decades of Scrutiny
Democrats’ relentless attacks on Trump since 2015 never produced any Mob-related evidence, despite exhaustive probes that included Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation 2017-2019, 448 pages, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 witnesses, the House impeachments 2019 and 2021, the January 6 committee 2021-2022 hearings and report, and New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud case initiated in 2018, resulting in a 2023 $454 million judgment that was largely vacated on appeal in 2025, though the core fraud liability was upheld and remains under further appeal. If Trump had been complicit in ongoing Mob rackets or compromised by the families he dealt with in Atlantic City, these investigations, backed by unlimited resources, subpoenas, and hostile prosecutors, would have weaponized it relentlessly. The complete absence of such dirt, even after years of digging into his finances, associates, and past dealings, proves he wasn’t compromised. Instead, Trump used his casinos as a platform to expose Mob influence, including their election-rigging networks, while staying just safe enough to avoid retaliation.
The October 23, 2025 FBI Busts: Zhen Diagram and Nothing But Bet
A Financial Pipeline for Broader Crimes
FBI official Christopher Raia described the scheme as a “financial pipeline” for La Cosa Nostra’s extortion and hits. Patel, a RICO enthusiast, stressed that the FBI never takes its eyes off Italian organized crime. Rooted in 2023-2024, the probe echoes Trump’s 1980s casino strategy, targeting the same families (Genovese, Gambino) and gambling rackets, now pivoted to sports betting after the 2018 PASPA repeal. Trump’s first-term DOJ pursued similar probes like Operation Cookie Jar, and this bust feels like a sequel to Giuliani’s RICO victories.
Why Gambling Busts Matter: Funding the Bigger Threats
Critics argue that gambling arrests pale compared to worse crimes like trafficking or murder. This misses the bigger picture. The FBI’s own words highlight how these schemes form a financial pipeline for La Cosa Nostra, funding human trafficking, fentanyl distribution, extortion, and political corruption in the United States and abroad. Just as Al Capone fell on tax evasion, his lesser offense that exposed his bootlegging and hit empire, this bust targets accessible rackets to dismantle the networks behind them.
Connections to Trafficking, Drugs, and Election Corruption
These gambling operations connect to broader crimes. FBI Transnational Organized Crime reports show profits from betting and poker scams launder into fentanyl operations, human trafficking rings, child pornography rings and child sexual exploitation enterprises, election rigging, and bribes to corrupt officials etc. Hitting this pipeline, under Patel’s RICO zeal, echoes Trump’s 1980s casino strategy: minor fines on laundering starved Mob revenue, paving the way for life sentences on major crimes. When they get hit the entire system does. This is a huge happening, and will have huge repercussions for the entire Global Cabal.
West Coast Echoes: Mob Influence in California Machines
The Pelosi Family’s Mob-Adjacent Baltimore Roots
Modern Pelosi Ties and California Power Networks
Newsom’s Getty Dynasty Links and Mob Shadows
Interconnected California Dynasties
.....The Browns, Newsoms, Pelosis, and Gettys have dominated California Democrats for over 80 years
California’s Persistent Corruption and Connecting the Dots
.....Common sense connects the dots: Democratic machines in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Baltimore relied on Mob electoral muscle for votes, jobs, and power, mirroring Trump’s Atlantic City foes. Trump’s 1981 FBI outreach and casino bankruptcies exposed and disrupted Mob rackets, including their vote-rigging schemes, while staying uncompromisable. Today’s FBI bust, targeting the same families, suggests Trump is finishing the job, and even potentially eyeing California’s lingering Mob shadows.
The Mob’s electoral influence, from rigged ballots to campaign cash, fueled urban machines for centuries. Trump’s outsider play used casinos to bait Genovese and Gambino while aiding feds, breaking their grip. His 2025 DOJ, via Patel, now hits their NBA rackets, which fund trafficking, drugs, and corruption. California dynasties like Pelosi and Newsom rode similar waves, but Trump’s legacy is disruption.
What’s next? A San Francisco or Los Angeles RICO revival? I dunno, but what I do know is They should’ve never messed with the Don, he doesn’t play, and all those who underestimate him come to find it the greatest mistake of their lives.
Eden Gardens State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
there was a study that found out that in general, married men died 8 years before their wives.
Know why ?
Because they wanted to.
Ohhh what a relief it is...did the rest of the men live long enough to quit caring if they were dead or alive?
Just wow
“I’m seeing rife machines priced from 35 bucks to 3500 bucks”
I got mine in 2019. Cost 7500. I looked it up and you can add about 3K to the price. It sure helped when I got cancer. PM me if you want the addy.
Corruption is everywhere even in Georgia:
Looks like Georgia needs help at the Governor level as well as Minnesota:

Grand Jury Testimony From Senator David Perdue Suggests Gov. Brian Kemp Halted Investigation Into 2020 Election
"If the governor doesn't want to investigate, we're not going to investigate." Brian Lupo Feb 04, 2026
Here's more from the link:
When Wade asked if Perdue had “reason to believe that the GBI would not have conducted a satisfactory investigation,” the response from Perdue was shocking.
Senator Perdue claimed to have received a phone call in November 2021 from Vic Reynolds, then-Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Reynolds told Perdue, “We're not going to investigate. The governor wants me to tell you why we're not going to investigate.”
Perdue revealed that in May of 2021, Reynolds was presented with evidence of ballot harvesting. “…Video evidence and cell phone evidence, along with testimony and bank records that are corroborated…” Perdue stated that Reynolds “looked at that and said it was compelling [enough] to be investigated.”
Perdue would go on to reveal that the reason Reynolds gave him for not investigating the compelling evidence was because Reynolds was “a team player. If the governor doesn't want to investigate, we're not going to investigate.”
Perdue would conclude his answer by stating for the record that then-GBI Director Vic Reynolds was later “promoted to Superior Court Judge of Cobb County,” an appointment made by Governor Brian Kemp in August 2022, just one month before this testimony was given.
.....................................
So the fix was in in Georgia and the corrupt Governor is still not in jail.
Here's gov. Kemp still not wearing orange:

I looked up Annie Guthrie’s page a couple days ago. She’s a complete libtard. It’s no shock the Mom is too.
So they hate Trump sending the illegals back. What’s the likelihood that they hired illegal immigrants to do the landscaping and clean the house? I would say much greater than the likelihood that they hired a licensed, bonded and insured MAGA.
Of course all the democrats want the kidnapper to be MAGA and the conservatives want it to be cartel related.
I got that broads album — she plays the harpsichord!
“Funny. There have been a lot of jokes cracked about “My wife” or poking fun about marriage in general. Someone should put together a Youtube compilation them.”
GREAT idea! I’ll get Mrs. BBB333 on it right away!
This story was reported today by Epoch Times:
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani (Canada) says he met with White House officials on Feb. 4, and that U.S. President Donald Trump asked him to pass along a message to Canadians: “Tell the Canadians I love them.”
Jivani, who is a close friend and former university roommate of U.S. Vice-President JD Vance, had said a day before that he is travelling to Washington to help improve Canada-U.S. relations and advance trade talks, including on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA/CUSMA).
“Productive meetings today with the White House and State Department,” Jivani said on social media on Feb. 4. “More meetings with Senators, GM, and others this week.”
Jivani told the American outlet Semafor that he held unofficial meetings with Vance and his wife Usha Vance, as well as with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Feb. 4.
________________________________________
The story is interesting enough on its own, but what struck me the most is that Usha Vance sat in on the meetings. I wonder why? Maybe the reporting was unclear and the unofficial meetings were personal and not trade-related?
Grand Jury Testimony From Senator David Perdue Suggests Gov. Brian Kemp Halted Investigation Into 2020 Election

Wonder if that decision was related to the December 4, 2020, 3-vehicle, fiery wreck on I-16, west of Savannah?
Harrison Deal was a campaign staffer for Senator Kelly Loeffler, had interned for Sen. David Perdue, and was a family friend of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. He was a 20-year-old UGA student when he was killed in that car wreck.
