THIS WEEK ON RICHDOESPOLITICS

Hi everyone,

Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter, and for supporting my work at https://YouTube.com/@richdoespolitics.

In this week’s newsletter, I focus on the video I recorded with new guest Free from We Are Free TV, a fact filled fire hose of a conversation with Ghost from Badlands Media, and the mad mayhem of a video recording with Blaine Holt and Mark Attwood.

Plus a special announcement about a Rich Does Politics Live Event! – See below.


Trump Just Canceled CNN...

Free is the host of the We Are Free TV channels on YouTube and Rumble. She told me that during the Biden years she faced severe censorship. Both channels stopped growing. This is a shame, as her analysis is smart and comprehensive. Her videos are in the same style as Ace’s (American Fire) and Paul’s (Ordinary American): just her talking to the camera with her take on how Trump is upending the globalist order.

Rich Does Politics Live, a gathering of honourables, presented by The Mark Attwood Show, Frybrook House and Live 5D Health. Tagline: Seeing through the fog of global power. 7th November 2026, 9:30am to 6pm UTC, Frybrook House, Boyle, Ireland. Six guests pictured along the bottom in medieval costume.

Featuring

Brig. Gen. (Retd) Blaine Holt,
EM Burlingame,
Steven E Kuhn,
Mark Attwood
and
Alex Krainer.

There will be presentations, and a live panel Q and A with all of them together!

Tickets to the live event are extremely limited, so if you want to come, then book asap!

This is going to be a blast!
If you are able to make it work to be there in person, I would love to meet you there!

I started somewhat provocatively and playfully by saying that, by throwing CNN, Politico and MSNBC out of the White House, Trump is carrying out orange censorship and that Trump TV is just an American version of the Soviet state propaganda outlet Pravda. Free was completely unfazed by my questioning.

Free told me that shortly after Trump banned these three outlets because they peddled fake news and were a national security risk, Trump said, Fox Corporation circulated a letter stating that it would not be covering Trump. Within 24 hours, Real America’s Voice (RAV) stepped in and took the press pool feed. The pool feed is what makes broadcast news possible. When Trump comes down the steps of Air Force One, or walks out of a building, or gives a press conference, there is one camera feed that every cable network then plugs into for its own coverage. RAV has made the pool feed freely available to anyone in the world. So now anyone from anywhere in the world can email pool@americasvoice.news and have the pool feed streaming live on their own laptop.

For decades the arrangement has been that a small number of organisations filtered the information that travelled from the president’s mouth to the American people’s ears. This information has been shaped by the MSM outlets’ particular spin and perspective. In President Trump’s case, most of the MSM has run false story after false story about him. With the pool feed freely available to anyone, it’s now possible to watch what was said and then check the accuracy of the accounts given by the MSM, now that they have been cut out as the rentiers in the middle, taking their cut of the truth. Any independent journalist, no matter how small, or even a non-journalist, can take the feed and re-stream it if they wish to.

Trump is not the first president to banish certain media outlets from the White House. Biden did this with certain conservative outlets. Biden banned some 442 reporters and outlets, and Politico was bailed out by his administration with tens of millions as it headed for bankruptcy. Nobody called that censorship. Denied access, these conservative agencies sat outside the fence in lawn chairs, in the sun, in the rain, with their cameras. Now it is liberal outlets like CNN, MSNBC and Politico that are in the lawn chairs.

CNN, MSNBC and Politico are suing on First Amendment grounds. Free’s view is that the First Amendment protects the right to speak, including the right to lie, but it does not grant the right of entry. Access to information is not the same thing as free speech. [Note – since this video was published, a federal court has directed the White House to give these outlets access to the White House again.]

According to Free, what Trump is doing is unwinding Operation Mockingbird, the CIA programme from the 1950s designed to make all news circular and self-repeating, built with the help of psychologists who came to the US after the Second World War. I said that the Church Committee had put a stop to the CIA using the MSM to push propaganda. Free said that she found my notion cute.

The Swiss Banks’ WORST NIGHTMARE: The Launderer Who Talked To Trump

with Ghost of Bedford Park Heights, Badlands Media

Ghost, one of the team at Badlands Media, made what I thought was an excellent point, one that few commentators and analysts are honest enough to concede. In reality, he said that he has no way of verifying whether a particular event happened or not. What can be verified is how a public figure uses the story of that event: whether they steer it towards war or peace, towards globalism or away from it. Ghost said that by following these narratives from various world leaders for extended periods, adding layers of motive on top of one another, it becomes possible to see how the narrative develops over time and where the story goes next.

Ghost started a thread with a banker named Matthias Krull, which ended with the death of what was then the largest bank in Switzerland.

In March 2017 the wife of a Venezuelan oil executive discovered her husband was cheating on her. She took her husband’s laptop to Nicolás Maduro and showed Maduro proof that her husband had been robbing him blind the whole time. Maduro handed the laptop to David Boies, the lawyer the US government had hired to prosecute Bill Gates in an antitrust case. Boies described the material as the greatest treasure trove of evidence for an international RICO conspiracy he had ever seen in his long career.

A year later, having built his case, in March 2018 Boies filed suits against 42 of the world’s most powerful oil executives, in Miami and in Geneva. The Geneva filing tipped off Europol, who raided the bank offices and seized the servers. Four months later, Krull was arrested in Miami for laundering $1.2 billion of Venezuelan money into Credit Suisse accounts. He was given ten years, pleaded guilty in order to cooperate, and then received what Ghost said is the largest sentence reduction ever handed down by a judge at his own sentencing: seven years off, in exchange for information on the laundering operation: how it worked, where the money went and who was involved.

The Trump administration seized Credit Suisse’s assets. In spring 2023, Credit Suisse collapsed. Switzerland’s largest bank, the one people mean when they say “Swiss bank account”, was brought down by a banker arrested in Miami five years earlier. The Swiss government forced UBS to take over Credit Suisse – to swallow it whole, debt and all, which Ghost called a poison pill.

In 2020, lawyer and banking ombudsman Neil Barofsky was hired to find Nazi gold in Credit Suisse accounts. In 2022 he announced he had found a great deal more than Nazi gold. Credit Suisse responded by sacking him. When UBS took over Credit Suisse’s books, the Senate forced UBS to rehire him. His report is due towards the end of the year. Ghost’s expectation is that when his report is published, it will show that the cocaine cartels, the human-trafficking cartels and the organ and gun traffickers are all manifestations of the Western banking system. The men in the jungle with AK-47s are the blue-collar workers. They are small fry. They rely on the white-collar criminal bankers. But for the patronage of the bankers, the blue-collar traffickers would otherwise be crushed by any competent police force. It’s the white-collar bankers who move the money, sitting at computers in Miami, Dubai, Zurich or London. They are at the top of the cartel food chain.

The above tale is just one that Ghost recounted in an otherwise fact-filled conversation. He gave his perspective on Maduro – that he is a cooperating witness, and that Chávez created four banks and channelled oil proceeds through them to benefit the Venezuelan people. Ghost spoke about the banks in the Middle East that Bessent is targeting, and the pallet-loads of cash that Obama gave to the IRGC. He spoke about the conflict in the Congo over an estimated $24 trillion worth of resources.

Ghost will be back soon with more verifiable tales of how the world really functions.

Trump Sent A Double To Ireland Because The Real One Can’t Be Risked Now

with Ret’d Brigadier General Blaine Holt and Mark Attwood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjTN9yQZA6o

Mark Attwood lives in Ireland, so he had a front-row seat for Trump’s visit on the preceding weekend.

He started by asking whether the Trump we saw really was the real Trump. Mark asserted that the Trump in Ireland was not the real Trump, as he was four inches shorter. He said that he had gone through photograph after photograph to rule out steps and camera angles, and had measured him against Micheál Martin, who stands at 5 foot 10. The two men were level. The real Trump is 6 foot 3. (Micheál Martin, by the way, is the Irish Prime Minister. He is also the Leader of the Fianna Fáil Party.)

Mark shared what happened on Trump’s previous visit to Ireland, when he had spent three hours in the same room as him, spoke to Eric Trump and made a film about the whole strange trip. He said he was never searched, never had his car checked, and a guard greeted him by name the next morning. He came away satisfied that the Trump he saw then was the real one. He is equally satisfied that the Trump who visited the previous weekend was not the real Trump.

So where is the real Trump? According to Mark, as he made reference to the Q material, the real Trump is inside Cheyenne Mountain, sealed away where nobody can reach him.

Blaine Holt, a retired US Air Force Brigadier General, is of the same opinion as Mark. If the information release that everybody has been waiting for is genuinely imminent, and if a cornered adversary is likely to respond with false flags, then the smart thing to do is to put the president where no one can get at him.

Blaine suggested that we look closely at the height, girth and weight of whoever turns up as Xi Jinping when he visits the US. Blaine cited reports that said that Xi is currently in a hospital in Beijing after something happened to him at the recent BRICS summit in India.

The day before we recorded, Julian Assange posted on X for the first time in eight and a half years. All his post said was “I’m back”. Assange posted this on 17 September, eight years to the day after a Q post that contained nothing but the word Assange. Behind Assange, in his X post, there was a Free Assange poster with the word “free” blacked out.

You can see the X post here – https://x.com/JulianAssange/status/2100571158777045331
You can find the Q posts that mention “Assange” here – https://qalerts.app/?q=assange

Blaine stated that the WikiLeaks material that was released in 2016, which included the Pizzagate documents, was reportedly around 3% of what Assange was holding. The other 97% has been tucked away for a decade. With Assange re-emerging, it is likely that more information will be released. Mark said that the remaining 97% will be used as a mechanism for flushing out what he calls the minions: the local officials, police and teachers who implemented the Covid procedures in a million locations at once.

Blaine warned, as he always does: the enemy gets a vote and we have to watch out for false flags.
