I SEE A MAN IN THIS PHOTO THAT I TOOK OVER MY BACKYARD. I SENT IT TO MY FRIEND DEBRA (EAGLE EYES!!) AND SHE REPLIED “That looks like Benjamin Franklin” 👀👀👀😲 GIRL NAILED IT AGAIN. RECEIPTS BELOW.
I EXPLORED THE NUMBER 72 AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SINCE THE IMAGE NUMBER WAS 7272 .. WOAH I WAS NOT EXPECTING WHAT I FOUND!!! 🤯
Benjamin Franklin was the first American Diplomat, serving from 1776 to 1778. He was charged with the critical task of gaining French support for American independence. His popularity and diplomatic skill—along with the first American battlefield success at Saratoga—convinced France to recognize American independence and conclude an alliance with the thirteen states in 1778. Franklin presented his credentials to the French court in 1779, becoming the first American Minister (the eighteenth century American equivalent of Ambassador) to be received by a foreign government. Franklin’s home in Passy, just outside Paris, became the center of American diplomacy in Europe. When Thomas Jefferson succeeded Franklin in 1785, French Foreign Minister Vergennes asked: “It is you who replace Dr. Franklin?” Jefferson replied, “No one can replace him, Sir; I am only his successor.”
Benjamin Franklin's personal assistant and secretary during the American Revolution was Edward Bancroft. Bancroft managed Franklin's household correspondence and had direct access to top-secret American-French negotiations. Bancroft was apparently a British double agent who routinely leaked sensitive diplomatic documents and ship movements using secret codes and hidden drop-offs. He smuggled this intelligence to British handlers by using invisible ink and hiding messages in a hollow tree in the Tuileries Gardens.
Bancroft's espionage remained a secret until his British pension records and double-agent files were uncovered nearly 70 years after his death.
In his book Code Number 72/Ben Franklin: Patriot or Spy? written in 1972 (72 👀👀), Cecil B Currey shares information from declassified British intelligence documents that show the number 72 was written above his Ben Franklin's name by British officials, proposing the idea that Franklin was known by the code number or alias "Agent 72" for the British Secret Service.
WHAAAAAAAAT!!?
AS I PRAYED MORE INTO THIS IN THE SPIRIT, I HEARD “double agent” AND DEBRA MENTIONED I WAS SHOWN 72 TWICE (7272). I FOUND THIS PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION:

Benjamin Franklin: Patriot, Pragmatist, or the Architect of the Bancroft Press?
Among America's Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin is the figure most frequently—though controversially—speculated to have been a British mole or double agent. His long residence in London, extensive relationships with British political and intellectual elites, and central role in American diplomacy have fueled decades of speculation. Yet mainstream historians overwhelmingly reject the claim that Franklin secretly served British interests. No authenticated documentary evidence places him on the British payroll or demonstrates that he acted under British direction.
Perhaps, however, the debate has always been framed too narrowly.
The traditional question asks whether Franklin was either a loyal Patriot or a covert British asset. This essay explores a third possibility—entirely speculative, but grounded in a well-established principle of counterintelligence: once you identify an enemy's intelligence channel, that channel may become more valuable to control than to destroy.
This idea forms the basis of what I call The Bancroft Press.
The theory is simple. Rather than assuming Edward Bancroft was merely an undetected British spy, it asks whether Franklin eventually realized—or at least strongly suspected—that Bancroft was secretly reporting to London. Instead of exposing him, Franklin may have deliberately allowed Bancroft to remain in place while carefully managing the information available to him. Under this hypothesis, Bancroft continued delivering reports to British intelligence, but those reports increasingly reflected what Franklin wanted Britain to believe rather than anything Franklin actually knew.
The speculation surrounding Franklin stems in part from his unique biography. Before the Revolution, he spent nearly two decades in London as a colonial representative, cultivating relationships with British politicians, scientists, publishers, and intellectuals. For years he sought reconciliation between Britain and the colonies before concluding that independence was the only realistic path forward. Those longstanding connections have inspired writers, including Richard Deacon, to speculate that Franklin secretly maintained ties to British intelligence. Those claims, however, rest largely on circumstantial evidence and have not been accepted by mainstream historians.
One historical fact is beyond dispute. Franklin's secretary in Paris, Edward Bancroft, was a British spy. Throughout the Revolutionary War, Bancroft secretly supplied diplomatic information to British intelligence in exchange for payment. His espionage is thoroughly documented in surviving British records.
Most historians view Bancroft's activities as one of the Revolution's most significant American intelligence failures.
The Bancroft Press proposes another possibility.
Rather than asking whether Franklin failed to detect Bancroft, it asks whether Franklin eventually recognized that a known intelligence leak could be turned into a strategic advantage. Arresting Bancroft would almost certainly have caused Britain to recruit another source whose identity Franklin would not know. Allowing Bancroft to remain in place, by contrast, would preserve a channel through which selected information could continue flowing directly into British intelligence.
This would not have required elaborate fabrications.
The most effective deception is usually built upon truth. Most of the information Bancroft encountered could have remained entirely accurate. Diplomatic meetings, personalities, negotiations, and routine correspondence would all reinforce his credibility. Only information with significant military or diplomatic consequences—such as timing, priorities, operational intentions, or assessments of French capabilities—would need to be selectively altered or withheld. A report that is ninety-five percent accurate is often far more persuasive than one built on obvious falsehoods.
If British officials fully trusted Bancroft, even a handful of carefully managed inaccuracies could influence strategic decisions far beyond their apparent significance. Fleets could be positioned incorrectly. Reinforcements could be delayed. Diplomatic assumptions could shift. Resources could be committed based on a picture of the war that was largely accurate but wrong in precisely the places that mattered most.
Whether anything resembling this actually occurred remains unknown. No surviving correspondence, intelligence record, or diary demonstrates that Franklin knowingly operated such a deception campaign. The Bancroft Press is therefore not presented as established history, but as a speculative historical hypothesis that attempts to explain how Franklin's extraordinary understanding of communication and strategy might have extended into counterintelligence.
The historical record also contains an intriguing epilogue.
Edward Bancroft was never publicly exposed during Franklin's lifetime. After the Revolution, he remained in Britain, established a successful scientific career, became a Fellow of the Royal Society, and died in 1821 with his role as a British spy still largely unknown. Only decades later, when British intelligence archives became available, did historians uncover the full extent of his activities.
Franklin never publicly explained why Bancroft escaped exposure.
The conventional explanation is that Franklin simply never knew.
Another possibility is that he suspected Bancroft but lacked sufficient proof to justify a public accusation.
The Bancroft Press suggests a third possibility. If Franklin believed Bancroft could be managed as a controlled channel of information, there would have been little incentive to explain that strategy after the war. Publicly revealing such an operation would not simply expose one spy; it would reveal a counterintelligence method. Intelligence services rarely disclose successful deception techniques because those techniques can remain valuable long after a conflict ends. If Franklin ever concluded that Bancroft was more useful as an unwitting conduit than as a prisoner, silence itself may have been part of the strategy.
There is another reason Franklin may never have addressed the matter publicly. His reputation rested on securing the French alliance of 1778, arguably the single greatest diplomatic achievement of the American Revolution. Admitting—even after victory—that he knowingly allowed classified information to pass through a British spy could easily have been misunderstood by contemporaries who lacked the benefit of hindsight. What today might be viewed as an audacious counterintelligence operation could then have been condemned as reckless or even disloyal. Remaining silent would have protected not only any potential method, but also the legitimacy of the diplomatic mission itself.
What history does establish is that Franklin secured the French alliance, helped lay the diplomatic foundation for American independence, and never left evidence that he secretly served the British Crown.
History also conclusively establishes that Edward Bancroft betrayed the American cause.
What it does not establish is whether Franklin eventually recognized Bancroft's betrayal and quietly turned it to America's advantage.
That question remains unanswered.
The Bancroft Press does not claim to answer it. Instead, it asks readers to consider a different possibility: rather than asking whether Benjamin Franklin worked for British intelligence, perhaps the more interesting question is whether British intelligence, without ever realizing it, may have been working for Benjamin Franklin.
LOOK AT THE PROPHETIC NUMBERS ON THE SCREENSHOT I TOOK OF THAT IMAGE 👀👀. THE BIBLICAL MEANINGS:
8 - COVENANT, NEW BEGINNINGS
16 (8+8) - LOVE OF GOD
7/4 - INDEPENDENCE DAY
444 - THE WORLD .. GOD STAMPS 3 4'S (444) WHEN HE IS DOING A WORK WITH HIS CREATION
THE IMAGE NUMBER ON THAT IS 7398 .. Hebrew 7398 is rekub .. chariotry, chariot force
“He makes the clouds His chariot; He moves on the wings of the wind” (Berean Standard Bible). The psalmist joins “chariot” with celestial imagery to magnify the Lord’s sovereign mobility and exalted throne.
Psalm 104 rehearses God’s creative and providential rule. By choosing the language of a “chariot,” the author draws from common Ancient Near Eastern royal motifs—kings in war-chariots—yet applies them to Yahweh’s mastery over creation’s elements. No military battle is depicted; rather, the heavens themselves are commandeered for divine purposes.
By invoking imagery of rapid military movement, the psalmist proclaims God’s immediate ability to act. This anticipates later revelations of divine intervention, whether in judgment (Habakkuk 3:8) or salvation (Revelation 19:11-16).
“Were You displeased with the rivers, O Lord? Or was Your anger against the rivers [You divided]? Was Your wrath against the [Red] Sea, that You rode [before] upon Your horses and Your chariots of victory and deliverance?”
Habakkuk 3:8 AMPC
“After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). [Ezek. 1:1.] His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand. [Dan. 10:6.] He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God. And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses. From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent). [Ps. 2:9.] And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, king of kings and Lord of Lords. [Deut. 10:17; Dan. 2:47.]”
Revelation 19:11-16 AMPC
The Gospel writers portray Jesus as Lord over wind and sea (Mark 4:39), echoing Psalm 104’s depiction of Yahweh navigating the skies. In the ascension (Acts 1:9-11), clouds again function as His vehicle, signalling that the resurrected Christ shares the same sovereign mobility hinted at by reḵūb.
Revelation’s vision of the Rider on a white horse (Revelation 19:11) consummates the motif: the King of kings returns with celestial speed and dominion, fulfilling the promise embedded in the single Old Testament mention of God’s “chariot” of clouds.
INCREDIBLY, WHEN I SAVED THE ABOVE SCREENSHOT TO MY COMPUTER IT ENDED UP BEING FILE NUMBER 1776 👀👀
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!??? ONLY GOD!!!!!!!!!
I CONTINUED TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT .. ASKING HOLY SPIRIT FOR MORE REVELATION. WHAT IS HE SAYING BY SHOWING ME BEN FRANKLIN AND AGENT 72??? I HEARD "sun tzu" .. ART OF WAR!!!
Benjamin Franklin did not formally study Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, as the ancient Chinese text wasn't translated into English until 1905. However, his diplomatic and military strategies heavily mirrored core Sun Tzu principles, specifically winning without fighting and using deception.
Franklin adapted and used these concepts in several key ways:
Win Trust Before Winning Arguments: Sun Tzu famously taught that supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. As an American diplomat in Paris, Franklin won over the French through charming social maneuvering and modesty. He secured the vital French Treaty of Alliance in 1778, ensuring survival against a stronger military.
Deception and Propaganda: Sun Tzu wrote that "all warfare is based on deception". Franklin was a master of psychological warfare. He frequently wrote propaganda and forged fake newspaper supplements (such as a fake British report detailing gruesome Native American scalpings) to manipulate public opinion and turn the British populace against their own government.
Preparation and Leverage: Sun Tzu stated that a general must calculate all conditions and avoid unfavorable battles. Franklin used the concept of "asymmetry" by deliberately using diplomacy, espionage, and alliances to offset Britain's vastly superior military force.
Donald Trump’s strategic approach often mirrors principles from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, particularly in utilizing unconventional tactics, psychological warfare, and shifting away from traditional military or diplomatic norms. Analysts and historians often draw direct parallels between his methodology and ancient strategic doctrines:
The "Opening Feint": Sun Tzu emphasizes deception and unpredictability. Trump frequently uses aggressive initial negotiating stances—such as unexpected tariff announcements or border closures—treating them as opening feints to force adversaries to react and overplay their hand.
Transactional Diplomacy: The Art of War highlights the importance of altering one's strategy to fit the vulnerabilities of the enemy. Trump adapts this by viewing traditional international alliances, foreign policy, and diplomacy primarily through a transactional, business-oriented lens, prioritizing direct national advantages.
Controlling the Narrative: Sun Tzu advises leaders to "appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak". Trump continuously attempts to control the flow of information, shaping public perception and inflating value through branding to keep political opponents and foreign leaders off-balance.
Economic Statecraft: Modern applications of the text frequently substitute trade and economics for outright physical battle. Trump applies this by frequently using economic instruments like sanctions and trade agreements as his primary weapons of choice in foreign relations.
BEN FRANKLIN HELPED AMERICA WIN IT'S INDEPENDENCE .. FOR AMERICA TO BE BORN .. BY USING IRREGULAR WARFARE. SO IS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE TEAM THAT IS ASSEMBLED AROUND HIM USING SIMILAR IRREGULAR WARFARE TO GAIN VICTORY OVER A WORLDWIDE SYNDIC@TE DEEP ST@TE C@B@L .. TO ACHIEVE TRUE INDEPENDENCE .. FOR AMERICA TO BE REBORN.
THE DEEP ST@TE HAS INFILTRATORS EVERYWHERE. IT HAS BEEN PROPHESIED THAT GOD HAS HIS OWN INFILTRATORS!!! THE NATURE OF THIS IS THAT THEY MUST ASSOCIATE WITH CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS & TRAITORS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION TO SECURE FREEDOM .. JUST AS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DID FOR AMERICA.
AS I CONTINUED TO SEEK HOLY SPIRIT .. I FEEL HE IS TELLING ME THAT IRREGULAR WARFARE IS WHAT LED TO CERTAIN VICTORY IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WAS KNOWN AS AMERICA'S FIRST SPYMASTER AND PIONEER OF IRREGULAR WARFARE. THE REASON GOD IS REVEALING HIM TO ME NOW IS THAT IRREGULAR WARFARE IS BEING USED AND IS ABOUT TO BE ELEVATED TO A NEW LEVEL. AND AGAIN, IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO DECISIVE VICTORY. BECAUSE GOD IS THE ULTIMATE AUTHOR OF IRREGULAR WARFARE!!! (many famous military leaders who achieved victory through irregular, assymetric tactics attributed their successes against all odds to God Almighty). EXODUS 15:3 NASB1995 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name."
I HAD AN UNCTION TO LOOK UP BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND IRREGULAR WARFARE. WOW.
During the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin masterminded covert operations, psychological warfare, and intelligence networks that allowed a vastly under-equipped colonial force to challenge the British Empire.
Franklin’s irregular warfare toolkit included:
Psychological Operations (Psyops): Franklin used disinformation and propaganda to erode British morale and fracture public support for the war. He wrote biting satirical essays and even printed a counterfeit edition of a real British newspaper (the Boston Independent Chronicle) filled with fake stories, such as a harrowing account of British-hired Native Americans scalping innocent colonists. He discreetly fed these to British editors hoping they would be reprinted as fact.
Espionage & Counterintelligence: In Paris, Franklin established a formidable intelligence-gathering network. He recruited operatives to intercept British communications, map enemy troop movements, and monitor the loyalty of American diplomats and informants. He also engaged in counter-intelligence, identifying British double agents (such as his own secretary, Edward Bancroft) who had infiltrated the American delegation.
Subversion & Proxy Warfare: He used the murky world of secret diplomacy to forge alliances with France and Spain. By convincing European powers to finance and arm the colonies, he successfully turned a localized rebellion into an asymmetric global war. Franklin also allegedly used clandestine channels to negotiate with British officials to sow distrust and buy time for the Continental Army.
Military Command & Fortification: Before the Revolution, during the French and Indian War, Franklin commanded a Pennsylvania militia. He personally led a 1756 expedition into the dangerous Lehigh Valley, where he designed and oversaw the construction of a chain of rustic forts (including Fort Allen) to defend settlers from guerilla-style Indian raids.
Franklin’s use of the pen, secret networks, and alliances served as a critical asymmetric weapon, proving that unconventional tactics could level the playing field against a conventional military superpower.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, FAMILY MEMBERS AND EVEN SOME ALLIES HAVE QUOTED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS QUITE FREQUENTLY. HERE ARE JUST A FEW:
I DON’T WATCH THE NEWS SO I HAD NO IDEA BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HAS BEEN MENTIONED QUITE A BIT IN MAINSTREAM NEWS WHICH I BELIEVE IS PROPHETIC!! 📰
Benjamin Franklin is currently in the news as historians and media outlets re-examine his legacy in the lead-up to America's 250th anniversary 👀, highlighting his early work as a newspaper mogul, his creation of colonial "fake news" as a wartime propaganda tactic, and his pivotal 1790 abolitionist petition.
Scholars point to Franklin's 1782 Supplement to the Boston Independent Chronicle — a fabricated newspaper supplement he created in Paris to turn British public sentiment against their government by detailing wartime atrocities.
Historians are highlighting his final major act before his death in 1790, when he used satirical pseudonyms and sent a formal petition to Congress urging the total abolition of slavery. 👀
EXODUS THEME AGAIN 🌊🌊🌊
Media segments leading up to America's semiquincentennial celebrate his legacy as a scientist, diplomat, and pop-culture figure who helped establish the nation's early postal system. 📬
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IS ALSO BEING MENTIONED FREQUENTLY ON X.
HA!!! TROLLING THE KING OF GREAT BRITIAN!!!!
WOW!! THAT'S A GOOD PLACE TO LEAVE IT. I DID NOT FULLY READ THIS QUOTE TIL JUST NOW AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE. AND IT CONFIRMS WHAT HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED! WE DO NEED TO USE THE SAME TACTICS AS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN EMPLOYED TO SAVE AMERICA & WE ARE .. TO SAVE AMERICA AGAIN.
BLOGGER NOTED THE TIME I STARTED THIS POST WAS 10:33 .. MIRROR IS 33:10 .. PSALM 33:10 AMPC “The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nought; He makes the thoughts and plans of the peoples of no effect.”
"If you openly declare Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
Romans 10:9-11
RAISE YOUR HANDS IN SUBMISSION & FROM YOUR HEART PRAY THIS PRAYER ALOUD TO RECEIVE ETERNAL SALVATION. YOU MUST BE SINCERE AND INVITE JESUS TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. AND THEN YIELD TO HIM!!!
Jesus, I declare that You are the Son of God who died for my sins. I believe you were raised on the third day and are now seated at the right hand of God the Father. I confess my sins to you now & ask for Your forgiveness. I ask you to come and live in my heart & to be my Lord and Savior. I surrender my life to You. Thank you for giving me Your righteousness, for transforming me into Your image and making me a child of God.
