# BOTG: Lebanon Missionary

ITM Adam,
I've mentioned before that my brother is a missionary in Lebanon. I caught up briefly with him yesterday and asked how things are going.
He said it's very hard to be a Muslim right now. The cities are set up in religious sections (similar to Jerusalem) where you have the Muslim area, Christian, etc. The Muslim areas are usually targeted by Israel because that's where Hezbollah is based. Since they often hide huge amounts of money or weapons in apartments, schools and hospitals it makes a dangerous situation for bystanders living in the area. Israel will often send out flyers letting you know that they are going to attack a building in advance but not always. Several of my brothers friends were killed a few weeks ago because they were near a building that was attacked, they all had young wives and children.
The non Muslim areas of the city are not letting Muslims in because they fear Israel will attack them. My brother just moved to a new apartment and the mayor of that area met with him personally to make sure he wasn't a Muslim before he was allowed to sign the lease.
My brother has also mentioned that many are speculating that if Israel stops attacking there will be a civil war in Lebanon. Hezbollah has always touted that they represented the Lebanese, but the longer they fight the more obvious it has become at how evil the group is. I suspect Israel is aware of this and that is one reason why they are choosing not to stop the war with Hezbollah.
My brother had a friend whose son was fighting for Hezbollah. The son's phone went dead (often meaning you are dead) but the dad went out and found him. The son had been abandoned by Hezbollah (which is a common occurrence) and found severely dehydrated and without food. The father took him and fled to Syria.
These situations are revealing Hezbollah's true nature but many people are still very loyal, specifically the boomers and older generations. If Israel stops attacking then it might be Hezbollah vs. the rest of the country. Lebanon has a small military force but it is not as big as Hezbollah. It could get really ugly.
Lebanon is suffering a lot right now, however many people are starting to realize that their god has done nothing but wreak destruction and death. Many people are accepting Christ as their savior and there is a rapidly growing movement both in Lebanon and Syria. It's been amazing to see.
My brother was able to share what God has been doing in Lebanon since the port explosion a few years ago. The interview took place right before the war picked up again with Israel. I thought you might like to listen to it. It's 30 minutes long, so I understand if you don't have time (you and John keep busy!) but it gave me hope for the region to see how people are being trained in a very short amount of time to share the gospel and disciple others.
Thank you for your courage,

# BOTG: DHS Shutdown Theory
**From:** Emily
**Subject:** DHS shutdown
**Type:** Boots on the Ground

Hey Adam!
I hope you are having a blessed Good Friday. Do you guys do Good Friday? I am so glad to hear John back on the show. Please know that all of us are praying for him and his recovery.
It just occurred to me. This is all a bloody ruse! I mean, we knew that, but I think I know what's happening.
I know the shutdown is boring, but if you've followed it, you'll know that the Republicans have "given way" to the Democrats. They want to fund most of DHS, but not ICE and the border security part of CBP (try figuring out who gets paid in an agency that's mostly open...yeah).
But, here's the kicker no one is talking about. Republicans want to pass a reconciliation bill that would fund ICE and border security for the rest of Trump's admin (wait...don't they already have that with the OB3? Well whatever). It only requires a majority to pass.
I'm thinking that's basically what Trump wanted the whole time. He realizes he's about to be a sitting duck. He has to save ICE and border security now before he loses congress.
It's not a bad attempt at damage control. But, man bro, you really need to pick better people. I think that's his biggest downfall, honestly. Besides the ego thing haha.
BOTG: Hegseth War College — FULL TEXT
# BOTG: Hegseth War College
**From:** Heather
**Subject:** Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on war college
**Type:** Boots on the Ground
---
Not sure if you've seen this...
My stepmom is currently finishing up her final class of war college. She's a civilian auditor for the pentagon. I don't dare discuss anything politically with her or my dad. Based on what Hegseth said about cutting out any wokeness from the war colleges, I wonder if my stepmom has already been brainwashed.
We used to be able to discuss politics rationally. But since 2024, she has distanced herself from me. (Because my husband and I were "voting for the deranged pedo sociopath"). There were one-sided yelling phone conversations about "how dare I" and only uneducated and uninformed people would vote for him. I tried to put on my No Agenda hat and speak factually and precisely but to no avail.
Here she is finishing up war college and working for our government but she is suffering from TDS. Makes me believe that these war colleges definitely need to be evaluated and cleaned up.
## Research Notes
**War College Background:**
- The U.S. has several senior military education institutions collectively called "war colleges": the National War College, Army War College, Naval War College, Air War College, and Marine Corps War University
- These institutions provide graduate-level education to senior military officers, government civilians, and international officers
- Civilian auditors like Heather's stepmom attend alongside military personnel
- Secretary of Defense (now War) Pete Hegseth has pushed to remove DEI/woke curricula from military education institutions
- The war colleges have faced criticism for incorporating critical race theory, gender studies, and climate change into curricula that historically focused on strategy, operations, and national security
- Hegseth's reforms align with broader Pentagon directives to refocus military education on warfighting capability

Quips and Jokes
'WE GOT HIM' — Easter Sunday rescue. He is risen... from behind enemy lines.
Trump said 'their radar is 100% annihilated.' The F-15 that got shot down would like a word.
Iran charging $1/barrel toll in crypto. That's not a war crime, that's a business model.
Ships faking Chinese ownership. Flag of convenience just got a whole new meaning.
Missing airman 'of unknown gender.' 3 female F-15 crew in the entire Air Force. But sure, unknown.
Pentagon says 13 killed. Intercept says 750. Just kidding — it's 750.
Two C-130s got stuck during rescue and blown up. Even the rescue needs a rescue.
Hegseth fired Army Chief during a war. Confidence or insanity. In Washington those are the same thing.
NASA / Artemis II / Golden Dome
NEW THESIS: $1.5T budget increase = ~$500B. Golden Dome is $385B + overrun. The math adds up. Artemis = marketing for space defense. Alien entertainment = softening the public. Kennedy playbook, Trump style.
Rundown
THESIS — THE GOLDEN DOME ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX
$1.5T budget = $500B increase over $901B. Golden Dome = $385B + overrun. That IS the increase.
Artemis Moon crew = MARKETING. Inspirational cover for space weapons.
Alien wave (Spielberg, Lazar, X-Files) = softening public for space defense expenditure
Kennedy did the same — moonshot was marketing for defense supremacy
Trump version: wartime economy as entertainment, mystique, mystery
CONNECTS: Iran ($1.5T) → NASA/Golden Dome (the product) → Aliens (the marketing)

Aliens Entertainment Pentagon
Alien stories ALWAYS surge before entertainment drops. Bob Lazar doc dropped THIS WEEK. Spielberg 'Disclosure Day' June 12. Apple UAP film. X-Files reboot. The movies tell you when the stories are coming.
Rundown
THESIS CONNECTION: This segment is the MARKETING arm of Golden Dome. Spielberg, Lazar, X-Files = softening the public for space defense spending. See NASA/Golden Dome segment for the full thesis.
RESEARCH: Look for clips about Spielberg being a Pentagon/DoD asset. Long history of Pentagon cooperation with Hollywood — Spielberg is the prime example.
'Disclosure Day' = Pentagon-backed narrative prep? The movie IS the marketing for Golden Dome space defense spending.
CLIP: 01 Bob Lazar - Area 51, Nine Flying Saucers - Project Gravitaur
'Hi, I'm Bob Lazar.' Hired Dec 1988, EG&G Special Projects, Area 51.
'There's actually nine flying saucers of extraterrestrial origin.'

CLIP: 02 Bob Lazar - 'Everything Traces Back' - Project Gravitaur
End of trailer. Wife: 'This is my husband Bob. He didn't believe in flying saucers.'

'All the stuff that's unfolding right now traces back to Bob Lazar.'
CLIP: 03 Spielberg Disclosure Day - 'Full Disclosure' - Universal
Official trailer. Woman steals secrets, goes public, triggers global disclosure event.
'Full disclosure to the whole world.' — drop-worthy line at 1:18.
'That truth will upend all established order across the entire world.'
Release: June 12, 2026 — Thursday before a Sunday show.
CLIP: NEW Rep Burchett 'Americans Would Be Up All Night' - NY Post (0:32)
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN). 'If they knew the alien truth, Americans would be up all night.'
OPENSECRETS: Only $2,700 from entire defense sector. Zero defense committees.
Chairs DOGE subcommittee. Calls Pentagon 'arrogant.' Demands accountability for $500B+ unaccounted.
NOT a defense shill — true believer. Useful to the Golden Dome entertainment machine whether he knows it or not.
Hollywood + Pentagon Entertainment Office softens the public. Congress provides political cover.

There were one-sided yelling phone conversations about "how dare I" and only uneducated and uninformed people would vote for him. I tried to put on my No Agenda hat and speak factually and precisely but to no avail.
Here she is finishing up war college and working for our government but she is suffering from TDS. Makes me believe that these war colleges definitely need to be evaluated and cleaned up.
## Research Notes
**War College Background:**
- The U.S. has several senior military education institutions collectively called "war colleges": the National War College, Army War College, Naval War College, Air War College, and Marine Corps War University
- These institutions provide graduate-level education to senior military officers, government civilians, and international officers
- Civilian auditors like Heather's stepmom attend alongside military personnel
- Secretary of Defense (now War) Pete Hegseth has pushed to remove DEI/woke curricula from military education institutions
- The war colleges have faced criticism for incorporating critical race theory, gender studies, and climate change into curricula that historically focused on strategy, operations, and national security
- Hegseth's reforms align with broader Pentagon directives to refocus military education on warfighting capability

# BOTG: El Salvador
**From:** (anonymous)
**Subject:** Boots on the Ground - El Salvador
**Type:** Boots on the Ground
---
FOR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL REASONS I WISH TO KEEP THIS REPORT ANONYMOUS.
ITM Adam,
After hearing you talk about El Salvador on Episode 1855 - I wanted to send off this Boots on the Ground report.
I have only been in the country for a short time, but through my work and extensive travels, I got to know the country and its people well prior to living here.
First off, it is without a shadow of doubt that by liberating the country from the satanic MS13 and Barrio 18 gangs, the country is in a much, much better place. The streets are safe and the people are free from the unimaginable fear and violence that was once synonymous with El Salvador. An unbelievable turnaround.
Freedom isn't free, however, and the price to pay is subtle but real. There's shenanigans afoot. Here's a quick breakdown:
- Since March 2022, Decree 333 - the emergency powers that enabled the government to successfully round up gang members are still in place. This includes restrictions on association, assembly, communications privacy, and parts of due process. Each month, the Legislative Assembly gathers to vote through these emergency powers anew. As it stands, a total of 49 consecutive decisions to keep the 'State of Exception' in place have been made - I guess everything in this world is temporary except for temporary government measures.
- In terms of opposition, there's little. But unwarranted arrests, closed trials and suspicious deaths in custody have all sent signals that tough justice is not only for gang members - it spreads to previous politicians, lawyers and bus drivers.
- Due to the Foreign Agents Law, most NGOs and Internationally Funded Entities have left the country - some may see this as a good thing.
- As for Bitcoin, the country's need to borrow from the IMF resulted in a deal which pretty much shutdown all state-led adoption. As part of the deal, the government agreed to no longer enforce Bitcoin as legal tender, no longer acquire or mine Bitcoin and phase out public participation the state-backed Bitcoin wallet. Bitcoin City never got built, the Volcano bonds flopped and adoption of the currency is limited to ex-pat friendly tourist destinations.
- Recent hype has seen a pivot from Bitcoin to AI as the government enters in to partnership with XAI through the schools and John Hopkins AI through their Doctor 'SV' service (an online AI medical support where locals trade medical data for free prescriptions). When paired with the fact that every basic transaction or customer support enquiry requires a DUI (the National ID card) this starts to smack of at best data harvesting, at worst a surveillance state.
- The economic resurgence is resulting in little more than gentrification from expats and returning diaspora, strip malls filled with empty Wendy's restaurants, and a recent Shakira residency - which was pretty cool to be honest, even if the government gave away most of the VIP tickets for free to cover the empty seats.
