Dear Global Members & Readers:

Trump chooses...

1. John Ratcliffe to serve as his CIA Director, &

2. Pete Hegseth, Bronze Star Recipient, for Secretary of Defense.

Daily U.S. & World crimes, deaths, destruction, diseases, drugs, genocide,
gangs, hatred, murders, organized crime, poverty, starvation, wars, etc.,
Escalate (Feel Free To Add Your Own.)

"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for
thee."

If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.

Trump/Vance/RFK 2/Musk, et. al., definitely seem to be:

Planning Their Work, &
Working Their Plan.

The individuality & the totality of what is at stake for all is extreme
perhaps more so than ever before.

Trump chooses John Ratcliffe to serve as his CIA director

President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has chosen John Ratcliffe to serve as his CIA director.

Ratcliffe had been high on the list of potential attorney general candidates, sources told CNN. He currently serves
as co-chair at the Center for American Security at the America First Policy Institute, a Trump-linked think tank.

Ratcliffe, a former representative from Texas, served as the director of national intelligence from 2020 to 2021
during Trump’s first term – and his appointment served as a key argument for critics who believed that Trump was
using the intelligence community to serve his political needs.

During his tenure as spy chief, Ratcliffe publicly released unverified information about Russia’s influence in the 2016
presidential election over the objection of members of the intelligence community. Critics claimed at the time that
Ratcliffe was using intelligence to help Trump politically as the 2020 presidential election approached.

Trump touted Ratcliffe’s loyalty Tuesday, saying in his announcement:“From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a
Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always
been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public.”

A CIA official told CNN on Tuesday that the agency is “committed to ensuring a smooth transition.” — CNN

"America's Enemies Are On Notice" - Trump Taps Bronze Star Recipient, Fox News Host Pete Hegseth For SecDef

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated veteran, author, and Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the Secretary
of Defense for his second administration.

Hegseth, who has spent the past eight years as a host on Fox News' "FOX & Friends Weekend," has been a major advocate
for veterans and the military.

"I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense,
" President-Elect Trump wrote in a statement on X. (emphasis ours)

"Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country.

Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice -
Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.

Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University.

He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge.

Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans."

Our Take: I hope you're enjoying Trump's 'appointments' story arc, because the mad lad is having a lot of fun with it,
while continuing the underlying thread to the Deep State that they're absolutely fucked.

"No leaks" is one of the most oft-repeated comms throughout the Q drops, and while there are some specific situational
allusions and context around most of the references, I also believe, like many comms, these could be taken bicamerally:

Trump's team DOES NOT LEAK ... until they do, and WHEN they do, they know exactly what they're doing.

So, when you're seeing some absolute tapwater goblins being 'tapped' for various positions in Trump 2.0, possibilities run
the gamut from the Scaramucci model to false leaks designed to simultaneously flush out rats while also flustering and
humiliating the media in the midst of its death spiral.

And yet, the signal remains strong, as Trump's appointments of Ratcliffe, Waltz, Homan, Miller and Wiles have all the right
butts puckering.

Enjoy the show. — Burning Bright

Trump Names Musk and Ramaswamy to Lead New ‘Department of Government Efficiency’

President-elect Donald Trump has announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as the leaders of a newly proposed
“Department of Government Efficiency.”

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Trump compared the initiative to the Manhattan Project that
developed the atomic bomb. He highlighted Musk’s enthusiasm, quoting him as saying, “This will send shockwaves
through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

Trump, 78, praised the appointees, stating, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my
Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and
restructure Federal Agencies
– Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.” — Badlands News

Our Take: First, an announcement. Culture of Change will be exclusively dedicated to covering the D.O.G.E. from
here on out.

This is being set up, essentially, as a 17+ month project to streamline and modernize government, and it has a stated
end date: July 4, 2026.

As Paul Fleuret and I discussed on Sunday’s Culture of Change, if this effort is to be successful, the doge is going to
have to move fast and break things. This announcement all but states that they plan to do exactly that.

There are so many questions. What role will globalist consultancies play? How transparent will this transformation be?
What barriers will our opponents — not just the deep state within the bureaucracy, but the entrenched global corporate
interests — erect to halt progress?

It’s time for high velocity change, and we’ll cover it all. What a time to be alive! — Ashe in America
