Last June, Trump alone did something the City of London never wanted to see. He removed Iran’s nuclear threat, so long held over the world, with a single strike. Now, with the assistance of Israel, he is taking out the Mullah regime in Tehran itself. This was never supposed to actually happen. Here is my DANGEROUS…with COFFEE! broadcast from Wednesday morning where I explain at length what amazing times we are living in. Don’t miss it!

Trump literally trolled his enemies for a year into demanding those Epstein files…Here’s my epic livestream from 2 days ago when I discussed how the Epstein/Election Fraud/Grand Conspiracy streams were crossing… Get full access to Rise of the New Media Newsletter at briancates.substack.com/subscribe

This is my “DANGEROUS…with COFFEE!” broadcast from Friday morning. I covered a lot of really fascinating developments on this new hostile takeover of the organized crime front what was masquerading as some kinda constitutional Executive Branch until Trump and his Dream Team Cabinet got in there and began their important work in early February.

This is my livestream from Friday, November 28, 2025. A lot of people in the ‘No Plan’ part of the Trump base that consider themselves to be Digital Soldiers were just told to get ready by General Flynn himself. Let’s hope they’re ready.

Wait until you hear the other narrative from Trump and Tulsi. I know it’s hard to wait, and there’s powerful social media peer pressure campaign underway to convince as much of the Trump base as possible to go ‘all-in’ on the election fraud narrative being heavily pushed right now. A narrative based in a tale told by a ‘former FBI/intelligence informant and two ‘former’ CIA agents.There appears to me to be a definite attempt being orchestrated to nail down the election fraud narrative to ‘pre-bunk’ what DNI Tulsi Gabbard and President Donald J. Trump will be briefing the country about on the documentary evidence found in the 2020 election fraud burn bags. If people have already accepted one ‘Election Fraud Gospel’ into their hearts and emotionally attached themselves to it, someone else coming later, ‘preaching’ a different ‘Election Fraud Gospel’ from the one first received might very well end up becoming an anathema to that part of the Trump base.What if the two people who show up ‘preaching’ a different ‘Election Fraud Gospel’ are…President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard?And all the ‘preachers’ of the first ‘Election Fraud Gospel’ immediately attack the burn bag documentary evidence being presented by Trump and Tulsi, and draw a line in the sand: no matter how sufficient the evidence the burn bags looks, no matter what Trump or Tulsi say, no true patriot would EVER abandon the true ‘Election Fraud Gospel’ for a counterfeit ‘Election Fraud Gospel’.I strongly suspect within the next couple of weeks we’re gonna end up in a scenario where competing election fraud methodologies are going to engage in narrative warfare with each other. It is indeed a very good thing that an Army of Digital Soldiers stands ready, trained up in 5th Generation Information Warfare, and is prepared to play their key and vital role in carefully, clearly and concisely examining the evidence for BOTH competing election fraud methodologies.Until President Trump and DNI Gabbard make their case to the nation, and show what they have, I would **strongly caution** Trump supporters to not commit themselves too strongly to this current massive and coordinated narrative push.Don’t make your mind up and commit yourself until the guy who almost literally lost his head to the election riggers’ assassination attempt is heard from. You owe him that.Rise of the New Media Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

My podcast from yesterday, where I had to state some harsh truths about the new narrative deployment as Epstein now has to be dropped like a hot brick by The Usual Suspects and they are quickly and quite awkwardly switching to a new narrative: IT’S TIME FOR DONALD TRUMP TO BECOME A REAL AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT!There’s a reason The Usual Suspects spent the last 10 months trying to confuse you and create as much fog and smoke as possible to hide what Trump’s really doing.

This is my podcast from yesterday, Wednesday, November 19, 2025. In case you missed it! The supposedly MAGA-aligned NeoCon celebrity personalities/social media influencers launched a new narrative on Monday, now that they can see - much to their horror - where the Epstein events are headed. Oh, hey, anybody else having fun watching them try to frantically do their psy-op segue from EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN to MY GOD I WISH WE HAD A **REAL** AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT! in the past 3 days? I’ve been having a blast.Watch how fast some people who screamed EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN at the top of their lungs for the last 11 months when they thought this was the silver bullet that was gonna slay The Trump Monster for them at last - or at least damage his standing with his base enough so he’d slow down or back off his America First agenda! - can’t get away from the Epstein topic fast enough now that they see where it’s directly heading.SCREW YOU, GOOD OL’ BOY COUNTRY CLUB CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PENTAGON GOP UNIPARTY!You’re going down with your dying Siamese Twin and nothing is gonna save you.Keep your eye on the Epstein stuff as it comes out while all those super-duper-cool social media influencers that spent the last freaking 11 months loudly yelling EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN at the top of their lungs every day suddenly segue to their new super-duper-cool non-Epstein narrative about how what America really honestly truly and desperately needs right now is...[checks card]...a real America First President. And how they are just so very damn disappointed that Donald J. Trump isn’t one, and how they plan to kick him really hard in the ass and try to browbreat him with super-duper-cool social media pressure campaigns in maybe kinda sorta becoming an America First President at long last, because they all yell at him loudly enough. I am going to thoroughly enjoy the next couple of weeks.How about you guys? Rise of the New Media Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

One of the biggest ways the vile transnational criminal syndicate got to such a great level of control inside of our great country was lulling the population through cultural authorities into viewing acts of war as…something else. Our great President, Donald J. Trump is in the process of destroying this vile criminal syndicate, and it’s going to take a few more years for him to accomplish this, as he also tirelessly works to free not the United States from their control, but also much of the rest of the developed world. If you don’t understand the real enemy Trump is fighting, if you think it’s ‘Democrats’ you really need to watch this. Rise of the New Media Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

That’s my livestream from 3 days ago up there. Yes, it’s 2 1/2 hours long, but if you don’t have time to watch it, here’s the Cliff Notes: The Good Ol’ Boy Country Club Chamber of Commerce GOP UniParty that sold you out with increasing impunity for the last 50 years or so - until Trump - has been selling you out again by participating in a replacement migration of more than 20 million illegal immigrants into the United States to replace much of the native American blue collar workforce.

This column IS about tariffs and the massive revenues Trump is generating with them and why the Good Ol’ Boy Country Club Chamber of Commerce UniParty GOP wants to rip that tariff power out of Trump’s hands just as quickly as they can arrange it! Glad you’re paying attention. But I have to establish some foundational understanding before you will grasp the point I’m going to make at the end. Over the past 50 years, the Good Ol’ Boy Country Club Chamber of Commerce GOP UniParty charlatans beat their chests and babbled constantly about how hard they were fightin’ for yoo up there in Washington DC and in you state and county while they: * Functioned as a UniParty to gut the middle class and offshore our key vital strategic national security industries in exchange for profits* Functioned within the UniParty to send millions of jobs overseas* Functioned within the UniParty to loot the US Treasury of hundred of billions of dollars a year and launder the funds through various NGO’s* Functioned within a UniParty to rig elections at county, state and federal levels to ensure the ‘right’ people won the rigged elections to top offices* Functioned as a UniParty to hide/shield/protect/defend criminal networks, many of them CIA/International Intelligence Conglomerate affiliates* Functioned as a UniParty to foment a mass migration into the country to replace more expensive American workers with far cheaper illegal foreign laborCarefully examine those 5 points. Ponder them for just a minute. Do you FULLY understand how all of this was done to the country over the last 50 or so years? Because if your response to those 5 points is to tell me, “Yeah, those Democrats sure do have an awful lot to answer for, and I hope the GOP gets off it’s ass and does something to genuinely stop them soon!” then no, you do NOT understand at all what I just told you. The GOP UniParty Good Ol’ Boy Country Club Chamber of Commerce prick in your county/state/federal offices have been gaslighting the f**k out of you for all of your life. And you are still trapped in the Vale of Illusion. Or at least, you’re still watching too much Fox NeoCon News. “The Democrats” have not been doing those 6 things I listed up there. “The Republicans” have not been doing those 6 things I listed up there. It’s a UniParty. It’s one thing, one entity that creates an ILLUSION it is two separate beasts, when it’s not. Now, you’re ready to hear why the Good Ol’ Boy Country Club Chamber of Commerce GOP is crossing land and see as part of the UniParty to stop Trump’s Great Trade Reset using reciprocal tariffs, and to do that, they are literally having to throw their bodies onto the Senate filibuster in an attempt to save it. They don’t want to do that. But they have to do it. They have to stop Trump’s Great Trade Reset, the astounding amount of new revenue he’s generating with the tariffs, and most of all, most importantly: they have to ensure the Democrat wing of the UniParty survives these next three years until Trump is gone at last. You ready? You ready to hear why the GOP UniParty can’t help it, they’re literally being FORCED to drop their masks on tariffs and the filibuster? Here it is: To stay alive, the UniParty needs both wings, D and R, to remain in power, to stay alive. If one dies, it’s over. For both of them. In a symbiotic relationship, when one half of the entity dies, so does the other. Understand?How long does a Siamese Twin live when one of them dies? Hey, did new vistas of understanding just open up for some of you reading this? Are you starting to understand why you’re seeing these GOP lawmakers up there in Congress you thought were Conservatives fighting so hard to save that filibuster, to get that tariff power away from Trump, when they’re not fighting to back to the 100% Fake War on Drugs now Trump has stated A Very Real War on Drugs? For THEIR OWN SURVIVAL, the GOP UniParty wing of THE TWO HEADED-BEAST here in the US has to ensure THE OTHER HEAD STAYS ALIVE. I always understood once Trump and his team had successfully maneuvered the D wing of the Uni

I got to meet Catherine Austin Fitts at an even held at a local church here in Lakeland, Florida the night before this interview took place. I would like stress before you watch it that Catherine has a rather novel take on Donald Trump and what his administration is actually doing - and what she thinks they plan to do in the future - with CBDC’s. We do disagree with each other several times, and explore various scenarios and issues from different perspectives. I don’t believe in echo chamber journalism where you only bring in people to talk to only AFTER you’re assured yourself they’re not going to disagree with anything you say, and you are agreement about everything. We covered a lot of ground in that one hour, so I hope you all enjoy it.
