Dear KAG: 20211103 Open Thread

Me, after the heating and cooling guy left, and I had to tell my mother that the whole system will need to be replaced soon.

https://youtu.be/7_Uf6xuc9bU

What a day.

It started with a cousin’s Zuckerville post and the responses from her circle in northern Arkansas:

Let me start by saying I don’t buy meat at Walmart….however, it’s this way everywhere….this is BS….I know this because cows are selling at market the same or lower….someone is making $$…but, it sure isn’t the people raising them and getting them to market!!! This is HORRIBLE!!! Please don’t come at me with political shit….this is simply a post about RIGHT vs WRONG….
#thedevilisrulingtheroost
#wecantstandthiswaylong

Comments included:

No doubt it’s control, Not being political but I believe the government is trying to control everything from how much food we can afford down to how much gas we can put in the car. I’ll just stop there. I’m already on blood pressure medicine LOL

The prices aren’t much better at the butcher shops! It’s uncalled for. There are way to many cattle farmers around for us to have to pay such high prices. We raise cattle and I promise you we don’t make much money on them. You can’t get an appointment at a butcher shop to have one butchered either. Doesn’t make sense to me

Yep farmers aren’t making anymore money than before covid!! Ask my dad

Feed ,fuel, fertilizer etc all went up but cattle prices sure hadn’t corporations making money not the little guy

New message from General Flynn:

@RealGenFlynn
A friend reminded me this morning of some very important counsel I wanted to share.

If our voices held no power, they wouldn’t try to silence us … although the hits always have the same formula, ie., make something sound really bad, and then draw conclusions from baseless accusations. The leftist socialist arguments demonstrate circular logic at their worst. And they are always rooted in the self-interest of the attackers … be aware of everything, listen, read (especially the Bible and the Constitution), and never allow others to define you. Only you define you!

Stay strong America, we are a United States and the globalist left fears what they cannot control. Faith and freedom are human traits that cannot be denied. God bless and protect you all, your families and our beautiful country, the United States of America 🙏🏼🇺🇸

In a meme:


Show Me The Data@txsalth2o

The Left isn’t Offended By “Let’s Go Brandon” They’re jealous. They hated Trump with vitriol for 4 years and not once did they have a catch phrase or a number one hit song.

Cody Elijah@CodyElijah1
The tide seems to be receding just a little bit. The media cannot ignore LGB, Rogan, Chappelle, all the athletes walking away, the VA race, or Musk blasting the UN with sex abuse allegations. This is why it is so important to keep going. Do not stop. Ridicule and shame all of it.

Seattle Indy@SeattleIndpdnt

You’ll notice that every time a celebrity comes down with COVID, they never tell you how they contracted it or offer any lessons as to how you could avoid contracting it as they did. It’s all portrayed just as an implicit mystery, with mass vaccination being our only hope.
1:12 PM · Nov 2, 2021

And about “education” in the United States:


ELIJAH@ElijahSchaffer

So much of what we were taught wasn’t an education

It was conditioning

We were told we were learning, but we were being trained to mirror our masters

Accidentally molding ourselves into submissive beings incapable of original thought

You don’t know until you break free

Critical Thinking 101(Expert of Expert Evaluation)@critica18495985
The problem with medical school is it attracts compartmentalized memorization enthusiasts, and it repels critical thinkers. That’s by design, because it helps maximize pharmaceutical profits. The critical thinking doctors that make it through are like a rare gemstone

Have a good day y’all.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out.

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, not uncivilized pygmies:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

Thanking everybody for your patience. Whether happenstance, coincidence, or enemy action, I’m dealing with some technical issues. In addition to those, and the obvious spiritual attacks, I am dealing with the obvious site stuff in what are best maintained as unobvious ways.

I suspect we struck a nerve.

A combined technical / spiritual / strategic response by all of us will prevent this attack from succeeding. Hold the line – bite the bullet – gird the loins – bite the lip – pray for guidance, discernment, and strength – whatever YOU believe keeps the ship aright for the moment. Everything else is lower priority.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Oh, and back to the honey badgers.

Another great post DePat. I just wish it contained better news.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes! An excellent post!

Deplorable Patriot

I only have a thirteen comment version, but have notifications for the other one. I don’t see it anywhere, and can’t get to it.

Deplorable Patriot

Left a note for you on the refuge site. It looks to me like two different versions of the post posted. This one is the original that I scheduled. I carved on it a little and rescheduled. The one with fifteen comments is the third version.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yeah, it’s totally crazy. I may have to push back on things at coughcough.com

Deplorable Patriot

It’s switching between versions without any pattern at all.

TheseTruths

Full of factual information and sayings, and “The Sea Hawk” music is a bonus. A great adventure film.

Deplorable Patriot

And you know what….

This is the version I originally saved. There was a later one with a different music selection, and an additional science video.

Weird.

cthulhu

In other news, Wolf requested (on the other “good” thread):

*>OK! DP has a new thread up! Post ONLY on that thread or this thread, and watch for strange things like disappearing posts, people reacting wrongly to comments, comments not making sense in the notifier, etc.

If you see such problems, report them here, please!<*

I posted a LOT under Aubergine’s comment:

About the Market Ticker article:
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=244109

I copied over the best of the comments and THIS is the very best!

Publius

I was searching a bit based on this, and stumbled on this:

https://www.ocbj.com/news/2021/jan/19/oc-recalls-moderna-vaccine-lot/

Orange County, CA, pulled a Moderna lot based on a very high number of “allergic reactions”. When did this happen? Late Jan. 2021. I had not heard of this. I had heard of Japan discovering contamination in a couple of Moderna lots.

Sounds like there were indications of this “bad lot” problem very early on.

Karl (Market Ticker) answered:

@Publius – The lot CA pulled is one of the “worst” ones.

So yeah, they knew and intentionally ignored it.

NOTE THE DATE!!! JANUARY 19 2021 The F…KERS HAVE KNOWN HOW DANGEROUS THE CLOT SHOT IS FROM THE BEGINNING!!!

Followed by:

Obseedian very informative comment:

There is a major quality control issue. There were leaked emails from European Medicines Agency, or EMA, discussing this. I bet that’s what we are seeing in the VAERS data.

https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n627

Quote:

As it conducted its analysis of the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccine in December, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) was the victim of a cyberattack.1 More than 40 megabytes of classified information from the agency’s review were published on the dark web, and several journalists including from The BMJ [British Medical Journal?] and academics worldwide were sent copies of the leaks. They came from anonymous email accounts and most efforts to interact with the senders were unsuccessful. None of the senders revealed their identity, and the EMA says it is pursuing a criminal investigation.

The BMJ has reviewed the documents, which show that regulators had major concerns over unexpectedly low quantities of intact mRNA in batches of the vaccine developed for commercial production.

EMA scientists tasked with ensuring manufacturing quality, the chemistry, manufacturing, and control aspects of Pfizers submission to the EMA worried about “truncated and modified mRNA species present in the finished product.”

Among the many files leaked to The BMJ, an email dated 23 November by a high ranking EMA official outlined a raft of issues. In short, commercial manufacturing was not producing vaccines to the specifications expected, and regulators were unsure of the implications. EMA responded by filing two major objections with Pfizer, along with a host of other questions it wanted addressed. UNQUOTE

..The BMJ has reviewed the documents, which show that regulators had major concerns over unexpectedly low quantities of intact mRNA in batches of the vaccine developed for commercial production….”

Well that could explain why some lots were ‘less lethal’ than others.

Deplorable Patriot

For some reason, I had to approve this one.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Watch for potentially improved performance!

Deplorable Patriot

I was able to open this from the notifier.

Weird.

A little Silicon Valley ground report.

Encountered a couple of people talking at the Supermarket. Being a shameless eavesdropper, I became aware that one person was spreading knowledge….

So, I went up and said, “the phrase you are looking for is “preference cascade”. It’s when everyone realizes that it’s not just them — everyone can tell that the “ruling class” is a bunch of corrupt, incompetent, idiots and shouldn’t be afraid to show it.” “They are that,” was the response.

I continued, “when it happens, it’s sudden — like water bursting through a dam. In Romania, it happened in the middle of a speech — it started out like heckling, but grew exponentially until Ceaucescu ran away from the plaza where he was speaking…..48 hours later, he was dead.”

“Wouldn’t surprise me if some nut killed one of ’em.”

“Ah, you see — that’s why we are not yet there, but so, so close. When you say ‘patriot’ instead of ‘nut’, it will be happening. The phrase is ‘preference cascade’.”

cthulhu

Still, a discussion in a Silicon Valley supermarket…..

Cuppa Covfefe

Lucky’s or maybe SAFEway?

(as opposed to WholeMonthlyIncome Foods or Traitor Joe’s)….

cthulhu

Backfilling….he made it four days instead of two, being executed on Christmas.

Also, Ceaucescu’s last speech doesn’t look all that weird on the news broadcasts…..because while he was calling for calm, over half his audience just left. The speech continued with minimal attendance (cheering wildly) until its end, after which state assets ushered him away.

ForGodandCountry

Three things….

1) I noticed in yesterday’s thread that some comments of mine were missing when I first opened the page, but they appeared again after I refreshed the page in a WTH!? moment. Hmmm.

2) Grandma’s Texas Update thread is 🔥 , particularly what she said at the meeting. And Grandma, I assure you….you are NOT a “nobody”.

3) Virginia Governor’s Race

There was a very peculiar sequence in yesterday’s thread where emeraldstar and DePat appeared to be talking to very different versions of each other, and the timestamps were very scrambled. It didn’t seem merely random.

Grandma’s Texas Update thread was outstanding and it’s very unfortunate that it got wrapped up in the comment mess. Perhaps we can get an encore edition on Friday (with new functional comments), along with the pub?

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Exactly. It was a great post, and it got nailed through no fault of its own.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Oh, and I just discovered why that happened! I will explain later. But it is what you are describing. Pages are reconstructing improperly based on data from different versions of the page.

CHIMERIC THREADS in the comments! Who would have guessed?

There is an innocent explanation, but I am “still collating”!

Deplorable Patriot

You don’t need to collate. He touched a pet peeve.

Cuppa Covfefe

Theme-splicing.

Almost sounds like a Winders Update (but I doubt anyone uses M$ software for webservers anymore)…

Then again, there’s ‘orrible and what they’re doing to Java… and licensing (as usual)…

Deplorable Patriot

I was responding to something that wasn’t public.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Fascinatingly, THIS reply (FG&C) appears on both versions of this post!

Rule number one of the communists – allow as many of the guilty to feign innocence as possible.

I had left a couple of questions for DePat.

First, what indications did the HVAC guy cite when recommending a replacement?

Second, are there other Cole Porter roles that you are happy to sing?

And, a new one….. ever been to this? https://www.popsci.com/science/cahokia-mounds-ancient-city-mystery/

kalbokalbs

I have come to believe, when HVAC guy says replace or another obscenely expensive repair, seek a second opinion.

Deplorable Patriot

The furnace was put in in 1992. The AC unit in 1994. Age and abuse alone are the indicators.

“Musk blasting the UN with sex abuse allegations.”

I totally missed hearing about this. What happened?

Cuppa Covfefe

Somehow the tune “Muskrat Love” by Captain and Tennille is going through my head 🙂

Gingersmom2009

It concerns starving children and forced oral sex for food — by UN people. Certainly nothing to joke about, see comment below.

There is now a suggestion that, since Nebraska is no longer playing the federal games of deceit on ivermectin, Fauci is vulnerable to lawsuits there.

I wonder if he is vulnerable in the Indian part of Oklahoma.

Speaking of which, have we received any smoke signals from Wheatie?

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

No – and not really expecting it until the end of the week or the weekend, TBH. Computer repair before then is unlikely!

cthulhu

How can someone hold themselves out as an expert with that sort of turnaround? I can either get it working, extract the data, or completely incinerate it in 48 hours!

kalbokalbs

IIRC, it’s a replacement computer from a relative. Likely logistics involved in getting the computer delivered.

(Surely I am only seeing bits and pieces, referencing relevant discussions. I have no need to know more. Discussions between authors.)

Cuppa Covfefe

NAND logic (don’t do all three at once 🙂 )…

Thing is, Kali (as it were) has TONS of spare part repositories… not so sure about Wheatie’s area…

Cuppa Covfefe

Especially with the various component shortages… of course, just like in gubmint, it depends…

Almost worth keeping a “backup box” anymore… then again, “Cuppa’s Computer Cavalcade of Parts” has lots of stuff going back to the 80s, it seems… (anyone need a PC with a Turbo button 🙂 or I/F for floppy A: and B: )…

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

If you see strange and inappropriate comments in threads and replies, it is very likely that you are seeing a CHIMERIC PAGE between two different versions of the page.

Do not be alarmed. The other person is likely talking to somebody else.

Wait for clarity. I need to go investigate something!

It’s possible. With this weird bifurcation of posts, there could be separation of our crowd. That is why I’m asking people to report weirdness on the backup site, so that we can figure out who is getting “side-tracked” away from the crowd, or other such problems.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

In the notifier, I was seeing replies to “my comments” that were definitely NOT “my comments”. In one, I appeared to be giving stats that looked a lot like a marymorse comment, but absolutely not one of mine.

Yeah, that’s the sort of thing I was seeing with DePat and emeraldstar.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I knew something was weird with that. “Mirror Aubergine” took “Mirror DP” to task, too, for something that made no sense in what I was watching.

We could easily have people or AIs fucking with us right now, given that one of the servers is located (sometimes) in the heart of GCHQ-ville.

OK, thing for Robert Baker…..

Go to https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-arm on your “helper” device and download the 32-bit version for the Pi 400. This wasn’t MY first choice, but is Kali’s recommendation.

While we’re downloading, take a quick look at https://www.kali.org/docs/arm/raspberry-pi-400/ .

We’re eventually going to be doing https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/download-images-securely/ , but it’s going to be a bit complicated because we’re going to be downloading all the stuff on the “helper” device, transferring to a thumb drive, validating on your Linux system, then moving back to the “helper” system to burn onto a micro-SD card. You will need to “be sure to download the SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg files that are next to the downloaded image”, but you can wait for me to show up to assist through the next bit. Or not. All the information you need will be in man, if you want to tough it out.

However, ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING BEFORE YOU DO IT, and that goes TRIPLE for anything “sudo”, and about SIX times for anything with “dd”.

Once we’re confident in the SD card, we’ll down the Linux system, swap the SD’s, and reboot into Kali — the Swiss Army knife of cybersecurity. We have to change the password before plugging in the internet, but — oddly — will not be enabling ufw. Kali is the sort of threat that ufw is supposed to protect you from.

cthulhu

It’s OK to leave Kali running overnight to crack passwords, but when it’s not doing anything and you’re leaving it, it is best to shut it down.

ROBERT BAKER

After reading the docs you provided I think that utilizing Kali at this time is a series of ‘bridges too far”. I am not competent to use Kali at this time- too advanced for my level of knowledge.

From the docs: “The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc.”

While it would be an interesting exercise to install Kali, this forum is impractical for all the assistance I would require to correct the many mistakes that experience tells me I am sure to make.

Kali sounds like the software I am ultimately hoping to use but I believe I am some years away from making any beneficial use of it. I need more foundational work. You may have guessed by now that I am not a computer adept.

Itswoot

Me, after the heating and cooling guy left, and I had to tell my mother that the whole system will need to be replaced soon.”

One thing about older furnaces is that spare parts for them have often stopped being made, and can be scarce to find. You can sometimes find old stock replacement parts on places like eBay, but it is not really an option if a breakdown happens during the heating season because of the time it takes to get the part delivered.

cthulhu

Residential HVAC has an “air handler” [fan on/off], a “coil” section (evaporative [indoor] and compressor [outdoor] coils) [cooling], and a “heat exchanger” section, where burners take OUTSIDE AIR for combustion and exhaust OUTSIDE, and a heat exchanger takes all the heat and applies it to air going through the unit.

Each of these can have a reason to replace, but different costs to do so. Replacing AC coils because of a bad fan is an expensive waste of money. Then, again, heat exchangers have gotten seriously better over the last 30 years and it might make sense to change just for energy savings (and there may be government subsidies or credits available).

As always, it’s in the details — and they love to hide the details.

“…heat exchangers have gotten seriously better over the last 30 years and it might make sense to change just for energy savings…”

Definitely a huge plus (long term) in making a decision to replace.

Another issue is the refrigerant used. The ones being used now are unstable and less efficient as compared to the ones from 30 years ago (and those were worse than the fake-science-faulted Freon)… The greens and their collective Ty-D-Bowl touch…

OK, I’m just going to do a first little hint about real-world cryptography. It’s not too bad when you just talk, but the implementation may cause stress headaches and explosive cranial events, so we’ll do those some other time.

In the “good old days” of cryptography (up to about WWII), You had text, you whomped it with a code, and you ended up with coded text. When you took the coded text and whomped it with the proper code, you got the original text back.

Modern internet crypto relies on two keys — public and private. Let’s say I have one called C (for cthulhu). I have a C(pri) which is my private key, and C(pub) which is my public key. If I have text that I whomp with C(pri), and you whomp it with C(pub), you can read the text — but it can only come from me, because only I have my private key. If I whomp my text with C(pri) and try to read it by whomping it with C(pri), I get garbage. If you whomp some text with C(pub) and spread it everywhere, anyone who tries to whomp it with C(pub) gets garbage — only I can whomp it with C(pri) and read it.

Let’s say that Robert generates a keypair and publishes R(pub). I can then take a message and whomp it with C(pri) [it could only be from me] and then whomp it with R(pub) [only R can read it]. Robert can whomp it with R(pri) [which will still be encrypted], then with C(pub) and read it.

This combination of public/private keys is fundamental to cybersecurity, and there are a lot of nuances that are skipped here. But running this back and forth and sideways is a great help for working through different cases.

************************************

That said, I’m going back to https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/download-images-securely/ for Robert.

One line is ” gpg –keyserver –recv-key 44C6513A8E4FB3D30875F758ED444FF07D8D0BF6 “. That says, go to keyserver “hkps://keys.openpgp.org” and snag the public key with the nickname “44C6513A8E4FB3D30875F758ED444FF07D8D0BF6″ [there are a few of them] and add it to your keyring.

You could also ” wget -q -O – https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | gpg –import “, if you trust that kali.org can keep their page from serving bad data [ummmmm…..they’re security experts…..]

Alternatively, you could try a different keyserver — perhaps keyserver.ubuntu.com . There are several around, and they generally share public keys between each other.

If I had a blog on “cthulhupage.com”, I’d probably have a place for the regulars to post public keys.

Anyhoo…..Kali goes on to say that you can verify the key with (includes command and response):

$ gpg --fingerprint 44C6513A8E4FB3D30875F758ED444FF07D8D0BF6
pub   rsa4096/0xED444FF07D8D0BF6 2012-03-05 [SC] [expires: 2023-01-16]
uid [ unknown] Kali Linux Repository <devel@kali.org>
sub   rsa4096/0xA8373E18FC0D0DCB 2012-03-05 [E] [expires: 2023-01-16]

— that’s the sort of response you get from a valid key. If it shows something unexpected, you should investigate further.

If you have a valid key for a file and a valid checksum, you can fully validate the file.

From DepPat’s topic post: “Oh, and back to the honey badgers.”

I would not walk around anywhere without being well armed in a place where large pythons or boa constrictors can launch an attack from concealment. For starters, I’ve still got my dad’s old K-Bar knife and sheath that he was issued in WWll.

If it comes down to a knife vs. a Python, you’re probably closer to the Python than you really want to be 😁

Will QAnon fans believe anything? HUNDREDS of conspiracy theorists gather on grassy knoll where JFK was assassinated expecting his dead son JFK Junior to reappear and announce 2024 run with Trump

Does anyone else remember when asked if JFK Jr. was alive Q said No?

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, but since then, it’s pretty much been confirmed he is. Misinformation is necessary.

Deplorable Patriot

I’d say this is a pre-empt to make us look nuts since there is information out there that indicates he faked his death when the plane was crashed, supposedly by a retired Navy SEAL. Given all the symbolism in the news stories when the “cremains” were scattered at sea in a family that can actually afford to bury people, the indications are pretty strong.

It’s a psyop.

And now I begin collecting for tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking about the symbolism issue. Most of it is copycat mocking from Christian symbolism both from Sacred Scripture and developed before the Middle Ages. Rather than one long post – which I haven’t started due to time constraints – what if Thursday could be symbolism day.

Just a thought.

This one got lost in bifurcation last night, so recreating.

Humble beginnings.

From Wiki- Sears was born in Kingston, Jamaica and emigrated to the United States at the age of six. Her father arrived with just $1.75 and took any job he could find while also continuing his education.[1] She grew up in the BronxNew York City.[2] She served as an electrician in the United States Marines.[3] Sears earned an A.A. from Tidewater Community College, a B.A. in English with a minor in economics from Old Dominion University and an M.A. in organizational leadership from Regent University.[4] Originally the Christian Broadcast Network University.

Thanks! We’re still experiencing bifurcation stuff. Hopefully gone soon – if not, we can depart for greener pastures on demand.
