WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.


MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1

Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.

SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.

As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.

YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..

OTHER THAN THAT…….


The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

1.

2.

3.

This song just makes people sound amazing! Check more of them out here.


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:


Holderrhoids

noun

  • damage done to American justice by Eric Holder, likened to a burning butt
  • men and women of Eric Holder’s ilk, who have turned the DOJ into a den of Marxism
  • a future swarm of deadly Earth-terrorizing asteroids, named in honor of Eric Holder

Used in a Sentence:

“Were it not for the Holderrhoids, and the case of Holderrhoids that they gave America, it is very likely that the Holderrhoids would have been named something else.”

Holderrhoid knocking Lyncherrhoid into a Hillarrhoid (artist’s conception)


ENJOY THE SHOW

Have another great week!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

burning butt??

Is that all you have to say about that topic?

Yeesh, man go read Saturday again! 😀

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

It’s apparently customary to retain a Latin-alphabet spelling from one country to another, even if the spelling makes zero sense in the “new” country. Which is how we end up with totally-unpronouncable seeming names from places like Poland, Hungary and the countries no longer a part of Yugoslavia. They’re quite pronouncable provided you follow the rules where they came from. (I’m talking about people, not places; places tend to get renamed in other languages, which is why we don’t spell the capital of Poland as Warszawa (pronounced “Varshava”).

But in the case of Tchaikovsky/Chaikovskiy the original language is written in Cyrillic and so we suddenly have the freedom to spell it “PhucqueDzhoBaidn” if we want, so long as we pronounce it something like “Chai-kov-ski.”

nikkichico7

Wow I was vague until … PhucqueDzhoBaidn … now … Chrystal clear LOL
Thanks 😃🤚

Valerie Curren

LOL on the FJB creativity there 🙂

scott467

“(I’m talking about people, not places; places tend to get renamed in other languages, which is why we don’t spell the capital of Poland as Warszawa (pronounced “Varshava”).”

___________

So we should call ‘Kiev’ Kiev, like before the Westeropithicus Flagus Falsus?

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Well, it’s originally not in Latin anyway so what I’ve said has nothing to do with it. You’re now dealing with whose version of the place name you’re going to try to transliterate.

Obviously someone somewhere decided to transliterate Ukrainian instead of Russian for Ukrainian place names. Which makes some sense actually.

Valerie Curren

Here is the article referenced in one of the tweets:

$4.7 Million in Small Amounts of Money Donated to Democrats – Apparently Without the Donors’ Knowledge
https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2023/04/10/47-million-in-small-amounts-of-money-donated-to-democrats-apparently-without-the-donors-knowledge-n2621731

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe and Election Watch have stumbled upon a bizarre occurrence in Democratic campaign filings; thousands of small donations totaling often close to a couple of hundred thousand dollars per person made to Democrats from elderly Democrats.

The story is getting legs, with RealClearPoliticsThe Post MillennialThe American Spectator and others covering it. The American Spectator’s Scott McKay tracked down New Orleans resident Cornelius Maneux who allegedly contributed to ActBlue 800 times within two years totaling $18,000. Maneux’s status is unemployed and the address listed as his home on the campaign finance report is a modest duplex. 

Democrats finding themselves on the list are beginning to speak up. One admitted on Twitter they had not made donations to ActBlue reflected on the FEC’s site. 

Concerned parties in Maryland have filed a lawsuit over the strange donations. O’Keefe encourages others to confront the Smurfs discovered by Election Watch. Election Watch lists the Smurfs on its website. 

But will any prosecutors or law enforcement investigate? Left-wing billionaire George Soros, his family, and organizations have been contributing heavily to DA and sheriff races around the country in recent years in order to oust conservatives and replace them with far-left law enforcement. In Arizona, for example, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was defeated and replaced with Democrat Paul Penzone, and the Attorney General is far left Democrat Kris Mayes. This is likely why no law enforcement anywhere around the country appears to have announced an investigation.

How about Arabella Advisors, the Berger Action Fund, The Sixteen Thirty Fund, New Venture Fund, and Fund for a Better Future  and Hansjorg Wyss?

Wiki

Johann Georg Wyss known as Hansjörg Wyss is a Swiss billionaire businessman and donor to politically liberal and environmental causes in the United States. He is the founder and the former president and chairman of Synthes Holding AG, a medical device manufacturer.

Problem is he is NOT EVEN A GREEN CARD HOLDER!

Swiss Billionaire Quietly Becomes Influential Force Among Democrats
 👉 New York Times
May 3, 2021

Hansjörg Wyss, who recently dropped his bid to buy Tribune Publishing, has been a leading source of difficult-to-trace money to groups associated with Democrats.

He is not as well known as wealthy liberal patrons like George Soros or Tom Steyer. His political activism is channeled through a daisy chain of opaque organizations that mask the ultimate recipients of his money. But the Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has quietly become one of the most important donors to left-leaning advocacy groups and an increasingly influential force among Democrats.

Newly obtained tax filings show that two of Mr. Wyss’s organizations, a foundation and a nonprofit fund, donated $208 million from 2016 through early last year to three other nonprofit funds that doled out money to a wide array of groups that backed progressive causes and helped Democrats in their efforts to win the White House and control of Congress last year….

..the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank where Mr. Wyss sits on the board. The organization was started by John D. Podesta, a top White House aide to Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. A foundation that Mr. Wyss led as chairman and that has since merged with the Wyss Foundation paid Mr. Podesta as an adviser, and the two men remained close, according to associates….

Mr. Wyss’s organizations do not have to disclose many details about their finances, including which donations are used for which projects, it is not clear how they have used the money originating from Mr. Wyss’s operation. But some of the groups funded by Berger Action helped pay for campaign ads helping Democrats and attacking Republicans including Mr. Trump, or gave to other groups that did…

Between the spring of 2016 and the spring of 2020, the Berger Action Fund donated more than $135 million to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which has become among the leading dark money spenders on the left, filings from the Internal Revenue Service and Federal Election Commission show.

One of the nonprofit groups managed by a for-profit consulting firm called Arabella Advisors, Sixteen Thirty donated more than $63 million to super PACs backing Democrats or opposing Republicans in 2020, including the pro-Biden groups Priorities USA Action and Unite the Country and the scandal-plagued anti-Trump group Lincoln Project, according to Federal Election Commission filings….

Another nonprofit managed by Arabella, the New Venture Fund, which is set up under a section of the tax code barring it from partisan political spending, received more than $27.6 million from the Wyss Foundation from 2016 through 2019.

  :wpds_arrow: Tax filings by the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund do not indicate how they spent the funds from Mr. Wyss’s groups, nor do tax filings submitted by the Sacramento-based Fund for a Better Future, which passes money from donors to groups that push to shape the political process in a way that helps Democrats.

Hey Gail, I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is someone commenting here that is linking Covid crimes to “climate change” issues. Some of what he wrote made me think of how you dive in & connect disparate parts into a more cohesive whole. You might consider perusing his materials for further substantiating data for your voluminous collections 🙂

Report Reveals the Alarming Reason Why Bud Light and Nike are Shoving “Transgender” Dylan Mulvaney in America’s Face
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/report-reveals-the-alarming-reason-why-bud-light-and-nike-are-shoving-transgender-dylan-mulvaney-in-americas-face/

The New York Post reported:

Executives at companies like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade, whose brand endorsements have turned controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney into today’s woke “It girl,” aren’t just virtue signaling.

They’re handing out lucrative deals to what were once considered fringe celebrities because they have to — or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.

At stake is their Corporate Equality Index — or CEI — score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world.

HRC, which has received millions from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation among others, issues report cards for America’s biggest corporations via the CEI: awarding or subtracting points for how well companies adhere to what HRC calls its “rating criteria.”

The HRC lists five major rating criteria, each with its own lengthy subsets, for companies toA company can lose CEI points if it doesn’t fulfill HRC’s demand for “integration of intersectionality in professional development, skills-based or other training” or if it doesn’t use a “supplier diversity program with demonstrated effort to include certified LGBTQ+ suppliers.”

James Lindsay, a political podcaster who runs a site called New Discourses, told The Post that the Human Rights campaign administers the CEI ranking “like an extortion racket, like the Mafia.

It doesn’t just sit back passively either. HRC sends representatives to corporations every year telling them what kind of stuff they have to make visible at the company. They give them a list of demands and if they don’t follow through there’s a threat that you won’t keep your CEI score.”

As a result, some American CEOs are more concerned about pleasing BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street Bank — who are among the top shareholders of most American publicly-traded corporations (including Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade) — than they are about irritating conservatives, numerous sources told The Post.

“The big fund managers like BlackRock all embrace this ESG orthodoxy in how they apply pressure to top corporate management teams and boards and they determine, in many cases, executive compensation and bonuses and who gets re-elected or re-appointed to boards,” entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for president as a Republican and authored “Woke Inc.: Inside America’s Social Justice Scam,” told The Post. “They can make it very difficult for you if you don’t abide by their agendas.”

comment image

In 2018, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who oversees assets worth $8.6 trillion and has been called the “face of ESG,” wrote a now-infamous letter to CEOs titled “A Sense of Purpose” that pushed a “new model of governance” in line with ESG values.

“Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose,” Fink wrote. “To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society.”

Fink also let it be known “that if a company doesn’t engage with the community and have a sense of purpose “it will ultimately lose the license to operate from key stakeholders.”

Unelected CEOs with progressive agendas are shaping our society. And their version of “making a positive contribution to society” is to push wokeness and perversion. There must be ways to stop this besides boycotts.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The boycotts clearly aren’t working.

So what you mean to say is “There must be ways to stop this.” (full stop.)

Right. The majority of society HATES this.

I’m not sure that boycotts aren’t having some impact, though they haven’t stopped it, yet. It seems like there is at least one example where a boycott caused a company to turn around, but I can’t think of it at the moment. People are getting awfully tired of having this 💩 imposed on them.

See my response to Steve above. We have to play the long game.

Aubergine

Boycotts will work, but it will take a long time.

Sure, the companies are getting money from investment firms for their CEI score now, but what happens when the companies are BROKE? Will the investment firms, who ultimately represent millions of investors who are in it to make actual money, continue to invest in companies that don’t make any?

We must be patient, and relentless. When we say NEVER AGAIN buy an Anheuser-Busch product, we have to MEAN IT. As in FOREVER. Maybe they won’t be broke until ten years from now, but they will be broke eventually, if we all stand strong.

Deplorable Patriot

Just a point of clarification. The problem is InBev, which owns AB. That’s a global company. The Busches, for all their faults (and they have MANY), wouldn’t have gone along with all of this. August A. Busch, III, is/was a marketing genius. He would have seen the pitfalls. Of course, he also sold out and screwed his own kids in the process.

Erik Carlson worked in the financial sector.

2 articles by him. (This is NOT my area of expertise however I thought it was an interesting take on what is happening.)

Banking Collapse, or Banking Take over?It’s all so confusing.

I wrote an article explaining how it’s easy to understand why banks are collapsing, or at a minimum, in serious trouble. Historic inflation followed by steep interest rate hikes. It makes complete sense. It makes logical sense.

When interest rates go up, bond values go down. When interest rates go down, bond values go up. When the FED started to aggressively raise interest rates, the bonds that the banks held, especially longer-term bonds, bonds with longer durations, started to fall dramatically….

Why are many of the banks that were down 80% the past week now up 30-40% today? Is it that everything is fine now in the economy, everything has been fixed? Did the FED and Biden fix all of the country’s problems in the last 24 hours?….

What if the temporary collapses of SVB and other banks wasn’t about the economy and inflation and interest rates but rather something else? [Remember it was a friend of POTUS Trump, Peter Thiel who started the run on SVB. -GC]

This is the part of the article where I transition to pure speculation.

What if the banks that were in serious trouble on Friday and Monday were laundering money to the CCP? Laundering money out of the US to China. What if the “good guys” shut it down and that is the reason investors looked to pull their money?…

It makes more sense the banks that cratered Thursday, Friday and Monday, did so because they are money laundering operations that have been shut down, and that is the reason they had fallen so hard and so fast. It makes more sense than the banking sector suffering from a bad economy in general….

That is the set-up for the second article.

Is Jerome Powell a Patriot?Separating Financial Signal From Noise

….No one despises the Federal Reserve more than me. So, how could I ask the question, “is Jerome Powell a Patriot?”

It’s because things don’t add up anymore. Things don’t make sense anymore. This Federal Reserve isn’t your father’s Federal Reserve, or even your older brother’s Federal Reserve, for that matter….

Here is my premise: Jerome Powell is working with Trump and other Patriots to take down the corrupt banking cabal. To bring the US financial system under the control of the US, something that has never occurred before. It is possible, or rather very likely, the US financial system has been controlled by foreign powers since the forming of the nation.

Most who consider themselves a conspiracy theorist understand Wall Street funded the Nazis as well as the Soviet Union. Both have since fallen….

[Think Alexander Hamilton – GC]

Erik explains “….terms like “swaps”, “derivatives” “futures” and “repos”…” and why stuff doesn’t add up.

Back to LIBOR and SOFR.

What is LIBOR, in simple terms?

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a benchmark interest rate at which major global banks lend to one another in the international interbank market for short-term loans.

The key things to understand about LIBOR are where it comes from, London, and how it is determined, arbitrarily.

SOFR (security overnight financing rate) is a benchmark that financial institutions use to price loans for businesses and consumers. The overnight financing part of its name references how SOFR sets rates for lenders: It’s based on the rates that large financial institutions pay each other for overnight loans.

SOFR provides a robust and transparent method for determining a common benchmark rate based on observed, cleared transactions in the marketplace.

SOFR is a much more resilient rate than LIBOR because of how it is produced and the depth and liquidity of the markets that underlie it. As an overnight secured rate, SOFR better reflects the way financial institutions fund themselves today.

The key things to understand about SOFR are where it comes from, the US FED, and how it is determined—by using actual data.

Who again is the architect of SOFR? That’s right, John C. Williams, the guy Trump appointed as head of the New York FED…. 

.
.
.

Now I need to introduce a new concept—US dollars versus Eurodollars.

US dollars are US dollars held within the US, and these dollars are taxed. Eurodollars are US dollars held outside of the US, in Swiss bank accounts, the Caymen Islands, Panama—these dollars are not subject to US taxes. The term ‘Eurodollars’ comes from the money that was supposed to go towards rebuilding Europe after WWII. But a lot of that money was embezzled and sent to offshore accounts.

Where do you think Deep State criminals prefer to keep their money?

I am going to leave it at that and suggest you read the article.

Gail Combs

Oh, I almost forgot, with the raising of rates those Black Rock loans for ‘Good Social Justice Scores’ may be the first to go. Remember the French are rioting because Black Rock is going to screw them out of their pensions.

I don’t know anything about stocks and shares, so I don’t know how it is possible, to make money when shares go down in value.

“…I don’t know anything about stocks and shares,…”

This is why I keep pointing to The Network of Global Corporate Control
A key finding is the CONTROL is much larger than the $$$ involved would indicate. I will add that this is because of the $$$ in mutual funds, 401Ks and Pensions. Dollars that are ‘Owned by the little guy’ but are USED by financial institutions to wield control.

…To answer the question, “Who controls the world?” the study looked at ownership networks, breaking it down to nodes (such as firms, people, governments, foundations), links (the percentage of ownership) and value. Overall, the study looked at:

  • 43,000 transnational corporations
  • 600,000 nodes
  • 1 million links

…The authors of this study also assigned each player in this system a degree of influence.

FWIW – that is exactly what Texas (and other states) is in the midst of doing. It is a multi-generational change.

Nothing can stop it.

👍

Our side needs to learn strategic patience. Their side already knows and has done it for over a century. We have too much talk and not enough action. We can stop it right where we live. Stop spending money that helps people who hate us. Stop watching and listening to crap. Chase the false teachers and leaders from their perches in the churches, schools, local governments, medical industry and businesses.

Think coal mining camp towns. Each company had its own currency. It purchased from suppliers and resold to company employees and families. Gold/silver/commodity based standard changes the game.

States can do the same thing. Balanced budget amendments to state constitutions are necessary.

Texas can be its own country, it has everything it needs. Others are watching and implementing. Alliances between like-minded states will be necessary.

Use strategic patience and flip the script permanently.

Deplorable Patriot

Patience is not a great American virtue, that’s for sure. Waiting it out just isn’t our style, but you are correct. We’re going to have to learn how to do it.

Are Citizen Militias Legal? -NPR

NPR’s Michel Martin talks with Georgetown University law professor Mary McCord about the legality of citizen militias

McCORD…all 50 states have some provision in their state law, whether it’s their state constitution or their state statutes, that prohibits private militia, private paramilitary activity. And that’s also the case in Wisconsin. In addition, many states, including Wisconsin, prohibit private individuals, untrained, unaccountable to civilian authority from taking on official functions – functions of an official public officer like a police officer without any authority….

That is CITIZENS so how about STATES?

These states have their own armies not under the control of the Commander in Chief
[QUOTE]
During WWII, the 1916 legislation was amended to allow state militaries to defend their own states. Now called State Guards, they were trained and equipped by the federal government but maintained their separation.

It wasn’t until 1956 that Congress allowed for the continual existence of these units outside of a wartime role. A State Defense Force (SDF) is a state militia under the command of the chief executive of that state only. Twenty-five states in America have some kind of SDF, and all states have laws allowing one. Whether they call it state guardsstate military reserves, or state militias, they are not a part of the National Guard of that state and only partially regulated by the federal government and cannot come under federal control.

Title 32 U.S. Code § 109 subsection (c) provides for these SDFs.

In addition to its National Guard, if any, a State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Virgin Islands may, as provided by its laws, organize and maintain defense forces. A defense force established under this section may be used within the jurisdiction concerned, as its chief executive (or commanding general in the case of the District of Columbia) considers necessary, but it may not be called, ordered, or drafted into the armed forces.

During World War I, Congress authorized states to create Home Guards as reserve forces aside from the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. During WWII, the 1916 legislation was amended to allow state militaries to defend their own states. Now called State Guards, they were trained and equipped by the federal government but maintained their separation. It wasn’t until 1956 that Congress allowed for the continual existence of these units outside of a wartime role. For a time, these SDFs existed only on paper. During the Reagan Administration, that changed. Reagans Department of Defense wanted SDFs in all states….

DeSantis proposes a new civilian military force in Florida – CNN

Dec 2, 2021

DeSantis is proposing bringing it back with a volunteer force of 200 civilians, and he is seeking $3.5 million from the state legislature in startup costs to train and equip them. 

14 United State Governors Prepare State Militia Defenses

Obama fearing a revolution against him by the states, has moved swiftly by nationalizing nearly all National Guard Forces in multiple states; Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Minnesota, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina – to name a few…

The Governors of the Great States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia still have under their Command-and-Control the State Defense Forces to go against U.S. Federal forces should the need arise.

Also important to note:

There are NO U.S. laws prohibiting National Guard troops from also joining their State’s Defense Forces.

This dilemma occurred during the Civil War with many “citizen soldiers” choosing to serve their states instead of the Federal Government.

Obama is angered by the several State Governors who have reestablished “State Defense Forces.” These forces are described as: “State Defense Forces (also known as State Guards, State Military Reserves, State Militias) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government; they are not regulated by the National Guard Bureau nor are they part of the Army National Guard of the United States.

State Defense Forces are authorized by state and federal law and are under the command of the governor of each state. State Defense Forces are distinct from their state’s National Guard in that they cannot become federal entities.”…

The challenge for us is to not assume one skin color is all the same in their understanding and views. The ones doing it have sold their souls. They are the willing slaves of their puppet masters.

The old phrase of “if one Englishman smells bad, they all do” does not apply. Discernment is needed.

Dems sold out to communism long ago. Hope and Change was a front for it in more recent times. It is why the old, more conservative southern Democrats became Republicans, which flipped a lot of southern states to GOP control, which the RINOs have abused

Just my 2 cents, I totally agree with you about the blackness. The black Dem’s don’t care but I am thinking some of the white Dem’s may care, not all by any stretch but a few may see what’s happening and aren’t comfortable with it.

This all started with the equality crap that was forced down corporate America’s throat. Sadly if we’re all honest every corporation had it’s tokens, they needed to keep the Political class happy. Most didn’t have a clue what they were doing in there position. They were there because the company had to play the Political game. Lived it first hand at the time.

I am not saying this because am racist, just pointing out the obvious.
Saw first hand people being overstepped in their careers to make room for this to happen more than once.

Now it’s just being played out in the Political arena.

Remember, blacks were being used by the Communists WAY back. That series of articles I wrote about the graduates of places like the Tuskeegee Institute being lured over the the Soviet Union, and coming back to found generational lines of politicians and educators has probably expanded into lawyers. I wonder what I would find if I researched ole Fat Alvin?

Aubergine

I just did a quick dive on Alvin. If what I found is correct, and I think it is, Alvin is a child of a white father and black mother. And mom appears on the 1950 New York census as born in Indiana, but I can’t find her anywhere before that. She was 22 years old, and listed as divorced. There are possible girls born in Indiana at the right time, but unless she changed her first name, she’s not there.

I’m assuming that they’re trekkin’ around in barley stubble after harvest, as it does not look particularly appealing. Barley, itself, is a generic cereal grain much like wheat, rye, or oats. It’s a grass that sets seeds on a long stalk, then dies back. It would formerly be harvested with a scythe —

Barley is best known for making beer — partially due to the infamous Reinheitsgebot “beer purity law” — however the grain must be “malted” before use. Simply put, this is wetting the grain so that it begins to sprout. The harvested dried grain is almost entirely starch, but a sprouted seedling needs sugars to grow. Wetting the grain alerts the kernel to release enzymes to crack the starches into sugars. In keeping with the rest of the maltreatment documented in the folksong “John Barleycorn”, these sprouting grains are then dried in an oven and roasted to the desired color (see “dark beer”). The full amount of starches need not be converted to sugars before drying, as the enzymes can tolerate some heat — remaining starches can be converted during the beermaking process. A chocolate malt adds some malted grain (typically almost completely converted to sugars) to a chocolate shake.

The Giant Injection in the Room – Estimates of the Dead
https://peterhalligan.substack.com/p/the-giant-injection-in-the-room-estimates

…Here’s a backdrop for the discussion. It boils down to can the number of people killed by the C19 injections be approximated by answering one or both of these questions:

“what is the URF?”

 “what is the number of deaths per million doses?”

To be answered for each of the major countries/regions of the US, EU, India and China.

The red line is the rate pf deaths and the light blue line is the total number of deaths. The green line is population.

What is immediately apparent is that there has been a pronounced upward shift in deaths since C19 emerged and it has not dropped back to pre-C19 levels.

I have produced this table in the past – it is a combination of data from the CDC and USAMortality.com

(100) Preliminary US mortality for 2022 indicates that around 560,000 more Americans are dying every year compared to 2018-2019 (substack.com)

Just swapped out the flapper in the hall bathroom toilet.

“But Cooth”, you say, “you just fixed the chain a couple of weeks ago!”

Yeah. The chain broke again, but not where I’d fixed it. The chain broke right at the flapper — thus showing, when a chain’s time has come, it is done — no matter how you might try to fix sections. So we got a new flapper assembly (with all-new chain) from Amazon, it arrived on Sunday, and it just got installed in the wee hours of Monday.

Unfortunately, they need to be part of everyone’s skill set, and they’re always going to be rinky-dink failure-prone unsanitary pieces of junk.

From the inlets, which are bullshit cheap jive-ass stop fixtures using a compression washer placed partially behind and under the toilet…..did you know you’re supposed to check them every couple of months to see if they still work? The next house I build for myself will use solid brass quarter-turn ball valves for toilet shut-offs, just like most of the valves in this house, and they’ll be accessible by regular humans and not double-jointed midget contortionists.

Then you move into the innards, which are all proprietary. If I had my druthers, anyone making the porcelain parts couldn’t make innards, and vice-versa. And, BTW, the Feds should have nothing to do with either — the marketplace will appropriately allocate low-flow to deserts and high-flow to rainforests with nary a word from The Swamp.

Finally, and worst, there is the outflow. If anything says “18th-century sanitation” in a modern house, it is the infamous wax ring interface for toilet outflow. The less said about it, truly, the better.

GA/FL

One of our family members have always abnormally large ‘by-products’ that cause problems – overflows, plungers, etc. – until we got her a Gerber Power Assist toilet for her apartment – and now no matter what she produces – it’s handled without a problem.

cthulhu

The standard tract-house construction template for toilets is an intolerable low-bid farce (as mentioned above).

Then, again, in the early 1970’s my dad and my uncle went back to the house where they grew up and improved it for my grandfather. The first trip, they replaced the coal-burning stove with a city-gas furnace. The second trip, they installed an indoor flush toilet to avoid a trek on a boardwalk across the back yard to an outhouse.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Ours was lower key since Hubby was playing bass for 3 services to start the day, though we saw all our kids & spouses, except one who was out of town, & my parents (Hubby’s parents were deceased before we had even met)…& of course grandbaby Lilah who was crawling around & pulling up to stand a few times, on the cusp of starting to walk. Our daughter is just 10 days from her due date for grandbaby #2 & they Still haven’t gotten moved into their house. Almost everything on their C of O list is done but a couple things dependent on son-in-law’s family members to assist remain outstanding…They are cutting it Really close to the wire.

So in speaking with my daughter-in-law about wide ranging topics she shared a few interesting tidbits recently:

There is a social media trend of women wanting to give birth naturally & alone. This is increasing the likelihood that babies will be delivered with assists from ambulance workers, like from our son Brandon who is undergoing the EMT boot camp for Detroit where he’s been hired as an EMT/firefighter.

Back when she gave birth she said that she was pressured into taking an epidural, which she hadn’t wanted. Her sister-in-law has lingering problematic issues from her own epidural for a baby delivered Nine years ago. Tara thought that the hospital pressured her into the epidural because they made money off the numerous components of the procedure.

She was of the mindset to decline all shots for Lilah when she was born. For some reason she allowed them to give her a Vitamin K shot that she has since learned can cause significant issues for babies as their system is overloaded w/ excess Vitamin K that the liver needs to remove, leading to jaundice. Lilah spent about a week in the hospital due to jaundice.

She was concerned for Clarissa, our daughter, that she might not be prepared for all the pressures that come fast & furious at the birthing mother to ensure that her baby will not get injected, among other issues, since depending on the hospital &/or the staffing it’s possible that they either pressure one to do something you don’t want or they potentially just ignore your wishes any way. Would appreciate prayers for the safe & healthy delivery of this next baby in God’s timing, given all the other issues still pending…

Friends of theirs, who also had a baby pretty recently, both took mRNA injections, she thought Pfizer, 2 rounds each before getting to the place of never taking more of it, thankfully. The woman’s mother had taken one of the shots & suffered a stroke & died 2 weeks later so they Now realize how dangerous the shots are…

Tara’s father, who died last month, was basically killed by medical incompetence. They believe his health issues were brought on by taking a Covid shot, which is likely the underlying reason for his death. He was shuffled back & forth between the hospital & rehab centers for about 8 months. On the day he died they were forcing him to leave the hospital, due to insurance running out again, he was feverish, suffering from pneumonia, had tested positive for Covid, which staff lied about but her mom saw in his electronic chart, & was transported against both the patient’s & family’s will.

He had some type of respiratory assist, possibly a Bi-Pap, that needed a respiratory therapist to run it. He was transported without appropriate respiratory support & the rehab center didn’t even have the capacity for the proper set-up to handle his respiratory needs. His wife watched her husband fading & pulled out a pulse oximeter she carried in her purse & he was in the mid 90’s but it kept dropping. She was yelling at the ambulance attendants to take him back to the hospital immediately & as they put him back in the ambulance his sats were about 80, his eyes rolled back & that was the last she saw him living as he died in the ambulance w/ no family present…they have a lawsuit in development.

All the time that Harry was sick his wife kept trying to get him to the VA hospital in Ann Arbor, where his doctor was located & where they were familiar with his case. There were all sorts of issues with this involving protocols &/or insurance. The day he died he was Scheduled to be sent home, because he was “fine”, & his wife had prepared a hospital bed on the first floor of their home since he could no longer do stairs. She thought she’d have him home at most a few hours until he had significant respiratory issues that would require her to call an ambulance. She had prepared by discussing the situation with their city’s fire department & discovered that she could direct them to transport Harry to the VA, finally, but that whole scenario ultimately never materialized.

At one point the hospital had put Harry in a “covid ward”, absolutely against his & his family’s wishes. According to Tara’s mom this was an out-of-the-way part of the hospital where elderly people were shuffled and basically left alone to die! The horrors of what they experienced & witnessed are truly unconscionable, & surely multiplied for countless families across the country, & likely even the world…God help us!  😭 

One good thing that happened for Harry was that their whole church, a very small nearly extended family, gathered at the facility where he was around Christmas. Staff brought him out to the visiting area & waived their Covid Crap Protocols allowing all the family & church family to gather around him & sing Christmas carols. His last holiday on earth was thus very special & they have this precious memory to warm their hearts as they grieve & learn to live without the family’s patriarch.

I guess that some of the Covid Crimes are still pissing me off. Two of my Three married kids were married during scamdemic conditions that marred multiple aspects of the celebrations. Now our first 2 grandkids will be born under covid protocols that will limit our involvement &/or enjoyment of the process. We weren’t even allowed to see Lilah nor our son & daughter-in-law as they were only allowed one additional person to authorize & they chose Tara’s mother, which was entirely appropriate for her to be with her daughter in her first birthing experience. For our daughter’s baby I’m the only grandmother living & so will probably be designated to be there. Hopefully that hospital will have relaxed their protocols, but we really just don’t know what we’ll be facing. Going to hospitals in the last 3 years has felt like reluctantly submitting to abuse…it’s much harder & more mentally & emotionally depleting than I would have thought. I Really Wrestle with my Anger in these scenarios. I’d appreciate any prayers for these situations, as God might direct…Thank you & Blessings!

My dear, I confess that any prayers of mine are anything but wise, for I am foolish. I am very much digesting our brother Carl’s teachings at https://www.theqtree.com/2023/03/19/dear-maga-20230319-open-topic/ .

What I am is logical and analytical, for whatever that is worth. I envy you the comfort that you have that I am striving for.

That said, I am trying to pray — and I find it much easier to pray for others than for myself…..and I have prayed for you and those around you. Any blessings, however, are not due to me — but are from The One that is closer to you.

Valerie Curren

Believe me I Know that “every perfect gift comes from above” & if we play even a small part in that process we are blessed.

Please don’t put yourself & your personal faith journey down, nor exalt mine. I have Many Struggles in these arenas too & do not live an exemplary Christian life in so very many ways. Major feet of clay, hard head, & idle hands for starters!

I too am “logical & analytical” quite often, though likely not to the level of many others here in the Q-tree. I agree with this “and I find it much easier to pray for others than for myself” but there are so many times when I find it difficult to pray at all. Getting caught up in the cares of life & the distractions all around can often keep my focus anywhere but on God & His ways…

Jesus gives us a good example of how to really pray, in John 17, where He prays for Himself to be glorified, prays for His disciples, & prays for all believers…

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2017&version=NIV

Thank you for thinking of me & others & for lifting us & our needs to the Throne of Grace whenever you do pray. We are One Body, with many members, & we all play a part showing the Lord’s love & ministering to each other in myriad ways along this convoluted journey of life…

May God Bless YOU Richly!!!

There is a social media trend of women wanting to give birth naturally & alone. This is increasing the likelihood that babies will be delivered with assists from ambulance workers, like from our son Brandon who is undergoing the EMT boot camp for Detroit where he’s been hired as an EMT/firefighter.

The title of the 1968 song, “Not to Touch the Earth”, by The Doors, came from a chapter heading of “The Golden Bough” by Sir James George Frazer. Frazer’s work weaves together popular fancies, ancient myths, exotic taboos, religious rituals, and cultural traditions from all around the world and shows how they interrelate. I vaguely recall there being something about giving birth naturally and alone…..

As a side note, The Golden Bough is available in a bunch of editions. Most people know it from an abridged edition, usually from 1959. The official Third Edition, 1906-1915, is twelve volumes and available online [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Bough ]. There are often rumors of a Fourth Edition in twenty-one volumes that may alter your hair color and lifespan.

GA/FL

Have to say I don’t approve that trend. Back in the good ole natural childbirth days before Obstetricians and hospitals – there were a lot more infant and maternal deaths. One OB in my family said birthing rooms were dangerous – that a delivery could turn into a nightmare in seconds and he wanted all his equipment and assistants at hand for all deliveries.

kalbokalbs

100%.

cthulhu

I wouldn’t advocate for secluded births — it is a time of great peril. But I wouldn’t think that the impulse is coming out of nowhere. If the pre-born are being dismembered by medical personnel for profit, it is only natural to shrink away from medical personnel for one’s birth.

Valerie Curren

My son training as an EMT is aware of an EMT who was called to a home birth situation being attended by a doula where the labor had been going on for 16 hours. Apparently he assisted in the delivery of a dead baby that was gray in color with the skin with folds & a strange appearance. The doula is an unlicensed person & doesn’t have the ability to assess whether the baby is living or not…anyway that EMT is being sued by the distraut mother of the dead baby. Had this happened in a hospital setting, if the baby was still alive during labor perhaps it could have been saved. Were the baby already deceased, as the condition of the body seems to suggest (to me), the lack of a heartbeat would prepare the mother for this loss. Waiting 16 hours, much of it which was very difficult, seems extremely long…

I agree with you in that I’d rather be close to help, should it become necessary. It would be nice if there were some type of in-between scenario though, like birthing rooms in hospitals where the mother & baby could be attended by a midwife &/or family &/or friends but fetal monitoring & the “best” of modern science & medicine was in quick & easy reach should the need for such interventions develop.

My daughter-in-law was complaining how hospitals force women to give birth on their backs which can lead to increased peritoneal tearing & prolong the labor & birth process…

TradeBait2

As a father of a daughter who struggled for 3.5 hours of hard labor to deliver our first grandson naturally, who then needed a Caesarian to get him out of the birth canal, whose son has suffered much of his young life with the effects of that troubled delivery; I 1,000,000% endorse your post.

The Dyspraxia my grandson will now deal with for the rest of his life was a direct result of that trauma. The OB allowed our daughter to try to deliver for far too long, which she insisted on trying, and should have called it an emergency Caesarian delivery is the first 30 minutes. Our grandson was turned, had a larger head, and was stuck in the birth canal. It could have killed one or both of them. No amount of pushing was going to change that. Had she not been in a hospital setting that got her into surgery within minutes after she and the doc agreed to operate, it probably would have. I give thanks to the Lord for that.

She delivered her second son naturally without any issues at all 3.5 years later in the same hospital setting, but using a different doc.

Valerie Curren

I’m sorry that there was, & continues to be, so much suffering related to your daughter & grandson. So thankful for All of the gains your grandson has made recently, miraculously!

When my twins were born it’s quite likely that Josiah would have died had we not been in a hospital for he had an Apgar of 4 initially, though it was 9 at 5 minutes, thankfully.

Around the time my twins were born, mid ’90’s, there was another set of twins who were born in Northern Michigan (we lived Up North at that time) but did not survive. Had we not been downstate in Metro Detroit at a hospital facility prepared to deal with a high-risk pregnancy & delivery our outcomes may not have been so good either…

I found YOUR tie in here 😉

The horror writer H. P. Lovecraft‘s understanding of religion was influenced by The Golden Bough,[15] and Lovecraft mentions the book in his short story “The Call of Cthulhu“.[16] “

cthulhu

Heh.

The whole point of The Golden Bough is that tie-ins can be found everywhere.

If you look at Lovecraft, there are tie-ins; if you blank-out Lovecraft, there are tie-ins in Ovid’s Metamorphoses; if you blank-out Ovid, there are legends of Polynesia; if you blank-out Polynesia, there are tales among the Five Civilized Tribes….

I’ve mentioned before that the part of DNA that doesn’t code for proteins almost certainly contains firmware. The Golden Bough traces some of this firmware around the world.

Valerie Curren

Interesting. So you somewhat buy into his theories yes? I’m not familiar enough w/ him or his theories to have an opinion. I believe the Wikipoo article said he had influence on Jung so I would guess that his archetype theories were influence by the Golden Bough concepts, seeing repeated patterns through history…

scott467

Unless there is no other option or possibility, giving birth, alone, is insane.

Any woman who would attempt to do it purposefully, is mentally impaired to the point that she is literally a danger to herself and her baby, and ought to be dealt with as such to ensure the safety of both.

She may have a right to kill herself, though hopefully that too would be prevented.

But she has no right to kill her baby, and purposefully giving birth alone is beyond reckless endangerment.

………………….
Reckless Endangerment Law and Legal Definition
Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn’t required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions.

The charge may occur in various contexts, such as, among others, domestic cases, car accidents, construction site accidents, testing sites, domestic/child abuse situations, and hospital abuse. State laws and penalties vary, so local laws should be consulted.

scott467

“Your opinion is noted.”

___________

As always! 👍

If the reason someone is doing something is because it is a ‘trend’, and the ‘trend’ is manifestly dangerous to oneself and/or others, there are certainly other terms besides mentally impaired that would be applicable.

Even if the mother giving birth is an obstetrician, how smart is it to be your own doctor in that situation? Is that something a rational obstetrician would do?

If a rational obstetrician would not do something like that, then how rational is it for someone who is not an obstetrician to do something like that?

Considering all the potential medical issues that can go wrong during childbirth, endangering both the life of the mother and the child, if there is a rational argument for purposely giving birth alone, what is that argument?

Valerie Curren

Giving birth, or at least attempting to do so, alone Is foolish & reckless in my opinion. Even if a woman has safely delivered a child before that is not a predictor of how things might go in another birthing scenario. I would want a comfort person with me (had Hubby & my mom at all three labor & delivery situations) & chose hospital settings as a matter of course.

Given recent developments in medical tyranny I could understand someone being reluctant to surrender their autonomy at any level even in birthing. It’s a natural process that’s also a potential high risk situation given historical fetal /or maternal mortality sorrows.

People seem to lack common sense when it comes to social media peer pressurized stupidity, like the Tide Pods insanity…sigh…

Please see the CDC vaccine schedules below for NEWBORNS TO AGE 6 YEARS.
A newborn child is given the 1st dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine JUST AFTER BIRTH (in other words, while still in the delivery room or just afterwards.)

Not telling you or your pregnant daughter what to do — but if your daughter does NOT want any vaccine given to her newborn child, IMO, she and the baby’s father must write this down, date it and sign it, make copies of it, and give a copy (NOT the original) to the hospital staff when your daughter goes to the hospital to give birth.

Sending prayers, Good Energy, and Deep Comfort to you, Tara, and the families involved.

Why go to a hospital? Pregnancy isn’t a disease.

RDS

Well, for starters, if there’s a chance that the child would be born in “breech presentation.” Then, there’s the stuff that can go wrong while the mother is in labor. One had much difficulty during her 25 hours labor to deliver her son and there were other issues too — none of which could have been taken care of in a home delivery.

pgroup2

So it’s the one exception controlling the rest?

One of my kids was breech about 8 months. The doctor manipulated the baby into turning to the correct position. I asked him how he knew how to do it and he said you just annoy the baby by repeatedly poking it and it will move away. Sooner or later the baby ends up in the correct position.

RDS

I don’t think it’s one exception (breech birth) controlling the rest, although IMO the physical structure of the mother may influence what goes on.
There are the other things that can go wrong during labor and the birth process itself. If something considered to be minor goes wrong during a home birth, and it can be taken care of successfully at home, great. However, if something goes wrong and it’s “call an ambulance” time, IMO that’s another matter.

Valerie Curren

What a blessing that that process worked so well for you & your baby. That’s not the way it works for everyone, sadly…

“Why go to a hospital? Pregnancy isn’t a disease.”

________

Very much agreed that pregnancy is not a disease, but a hospital has qualified medical personnel who are able to intervene in case of an unforeseen emergency during the birth.

Hopefully the doctor’s expertise is not needed.

But if it is, when seconds count, the doctor is only ten or fifteen minutes away.

If I had a heart condition, and my doctor wanted me to do a stress test, I could probably arrange to do it by myself at a local gym, or some clinic that is used for that purpose.

But considering the elevated potential for a cardiac arrest, it would be wiser to undergo the test in the immediate presence of a real live cardiologist (e.g., Dr. Justin Case, MD) and a resuscitation team.

IMO, of course! 😁

When my twins were born we were supposed to have 15 staff members, 5 for each baby & 5 for me in attendance. I was laboring in a room Directly across from the nurse’s station & was supposed to be moved later to a larger delivery room. Even so, when it came time to push, which I realized fairly suddenly, my mom told the nurses one of whom ran in & only had time to put on one glove to catch Brandon’s head. They had paged the doctor STAT & he arrived in time to watch Josiah emerge just one minute after B.

My hubby thought J was dead as he wasn’t moving & his color looked bad. In fact he only had an Apgar of 4 initially while B had an 8. They both were at 9 at 5 minutes. Hubby about passed out. It was intense!

Anyway, even with a complex plan there was only One staff person in the room when my twins came…not 15…Crap happens AND quickly!

cthulhu

I would evaluate that as an informed opinion.

It is very sad to think that some mothers-to-be see the world as so hostile that hiding away and giving birth alone seems like a good idea.

Valerie Curren

Well some of it sounded like a sort of Zen like thing, getting out into a beautiful natural setting & perhaps filming themselves giving birth in or near a secluded lake or something. It’s very bizarre to my way of thinking. I think younger people are becoming increasingly divorced from reality & lacking basic common sense!

scott467

It’s even more sad that nobody liked my Dr. Justin Case joke.

It cracks me up every time I read it 😂

Valerie Curren

Thank you RDS! DIL said that the hospital, same one where daughter is planning to deliver, required them to sign a paper for Heb B to accept it or reject it. In their case, which rejected it, she said there were no questions or other pressure.

I mentioned that I’d read Fauxi had been using Hep B vaccines to also give people AIDS & my oldest son had heard about that too…

In discussing Hep B, middle son (EMT/Fire Fighter in training) said he’d gotten such a shot a while back but had recently been tested for antibodies, & he had none. The nurse (?) who was discussing the antibody situation said if his body cleared the Hep B stuff before there was no reason to think that future shots would “take” so he should probably decline them.

I told him of my extreme concern about ALL shots going forward & strongly counseled him to decline any future “vaccines”. He thinks that he Might be pressured to take some shots being in the health care affiliated arena. He used a “religious exemption” to get out of covid shots for his firefighting schooling & was able to do clinicals at the one location that allowed “unvax’d” to work there. So far Detroit hasn’t put on any pressure, at least to him, but it’s an ongoing concern.

Thanks for sharing these details–Blessings!

When You Get An Opening To Resist…

I think folks have had about as much as they can take of the PC Woke Crap… At least given recent reactions to the Bud Lite Fiasco…

Though I’d not forgive Anheuser Bush if they apologize.

Once the Left stop persecuting Trump, and restore Paula Deen (I love her cookware…) and all the rest, including Goya and anyone else “canceled”, and puts back the statues, then, maybe. Until then? Since conservatives apologies get no forgiveness, I’m going to “be the mirror” and not forgive woke crap either…

Seems like folks are past the “Breaking Point” on PC Crap being shoved into sports. And schools. And elsewhere too…

So shove PC Woke at folks, go broke… as fast as we can arrange it…

So, next time you see someone with a Bud Lite, ask them how they like Trans Beer compared to Real Beer? 😉

Trans Beer? Yeah, I think that’s going to be a thing 😉

I’m having a Sam Adam’s Boston Lager myself… Butt Lite? Just say Nooo!!!

I disagree with Tim on several points.

He says he doesn’t care if Jack Daniels associates their brand with adult drag show queens, making a distinction between the normalization of drag show queens and Dylan Mulvaney, who apparently is appealing to children.

I would argue that normalizing drag show queens, like all of the other sexual perversion, is harmful to society, and Jack Daniels should be rewarded with Going Out of Business.

Second, he says that if A-B makes an apology, he would go out and buy lots of Bud Light:

……………………….
Tim: “I personally will not be satisfied unless Anheuser-Busch issues a statement saying we denounce what Dylan Mulvaney represents the targeting of children, it is not what we are on board with, beer should not be marketed to Young People by this person, and we apologize for that.

[They] can crank it up a notch even further and say the ideology that has driven Dylan Mulvaney to to do these things, the algorithmic manipulation, we hereby reject and we apologize. Depends on the degree to which they are feeling the burn. Based on the viewership I’m seeing, I’m scared, I’m like dude, whoa, in 12 hours I got 600,000 views on one video being like ‘Hey look, it’s Kid Rock, you know he’s shooting up a bunch of Bud Light’, and people were real real pissed off at Bud Light, so if I’m seeing this, Bud Light must be reeling from it. Good job, boycott all of it.

I’ll tell you this, if Bud Light comes out and apologizes, the first thing I will do if Anheuser-Busch comes out and apologizes and says this was a mistake and we’ll never do it again, the first thing I will do is I will go out and I will buy a whole bunch, a whole bunch of Anheuser-Busch products.

And I will make a video with me and all my friends cheersing and saying thank you Anheuser-Busch, because I believe you have to give positive reinforcement. If Anheuser-Busch knows that no matter what they do you’ll never buy their product again, they’ll say all right, well we made our bed, we’re gonna go lie in it.

But if they know that if they apologize for this and fire Dylan Mulvaney, and say never again, if they know that we will all go out and buy tenfold Anheuser-Busch products, they’ll do it and that’s called a culture War Victory.

So I eagerly await your apology Budweiser, and the termination of your arrangement with Dylan Mulvaney, and if you do that I am going to go right down the link to the liquor store and I’m going to buy as much of your product as possible, because I want to make sure that my votes, my, my dollars are votes for things I agree with, and if Anheuser-Busch says we’re sorry it’ll never happen again and we’re firing Mulvaney, then they deserve to be rewarded for doing the right thing.”
……………………….

.

So by this thinking, A-B ends up being rewarded. In effect, they create a publicity stunt, and the barking seals bark their approval at an apology, and A-B comes out ahead in every way.

Which sends a message to every other corporation, that they should create similar outrage, and then make the obligatory apology, and reap the benefits. In this way, they can appease the lunatic Leftists who push tranny-everything, and benefit from the publicity, and increase sales.

Seems 1,000% better to increase the boycott exponentially, and make it PERMANENT. Put A-B out of business in America, let them peddle their woke BS in some other country.

That would send a signal the size of Mount Everest to Fink at Blackock and all the other Finkmeister wannabes, that if you pull this tranny crap or any other perversion, next comes your “Going Out of Business Sale”.

Maybe organize a nationwide shorting of A-B stock, have 50+ million people short it down to zero, as an exclamation point.

Let Anheuser-Busch be the warning to all the freaks in multinational corporate-land.

Attorney Thomas Renz was working on a legislative bill in Missouri for informed consent around vaccines, when suddenly he encountered pushback from Big Pharma and agriculture lobbyists. When he looked into the nature of their opposition, he discovered the intent to use mRNA technology in the U.S. food supply. Ever since he discovered this intention Renz…

Would like to see “Gail’s” comments on this.

Yes, I (we) would like to see folks thoughts on this.

Slow guy feels he’s reading both sides of the story.

mRNA is/will be, used in the food supply.mRNA NOT planned for food supply.  :wpds_arrow:  We know, 14 of 15 gotta go. So, my guess, mRNA is/will be used in food supply.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.

AMEN.

If enough customers the world over WALK you DO NOT HAVE A COMPANY PERIOD. Also it looks like Blackrock may have a bit more to worry about.

How BlackRock Lost $1.7 Trillion in Six Months – Bloomberg

Clients of the world’s largest asset manager lost an unprecedented $1.7 trillion in the first half’s market carnage.

July 20, 2022,

BlackRock Inc. is used to breaking records. The world’s largest asset manager was the first firm to break through $10 trillion of assets under management. But the bigger they are the harder they fall. And this year BlackRock chalked up another record: the largest amount of money lost by a single firm over a six-month period. In the first half of this year, it lost $1.7 trillion of clients’ money.

BlackRock management was quick to invoke the first-half market carnage when revealing the investment performance last week. “2022 ranks as the worst start in 50 years for both stocks and bonds,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said on his earnings call….

This is why the French have broken into Blackrock offices in protest.

Is Blackrock In Trouble? | Armstrong Economics
armstrongeconomics.com›markets…blackrock…trouble/

BlackRock peaked on target in 2021 during November and has been dropping rather significantly. At this stage, a month-end closing below 810 warns of a further sharp decline. But a March closing below 815 will warn that BlackRock may fall sharply to test the 600 level going into 2023. New lows during 2022 after March, will warn that Blackrock just might be an important leader on the downside.

Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO, sent his 2022 letter to CEOs of companies he has invested in on January 17th, 2022 which reflected Klaus Schwab’s Agenda 2030….

Of course, Stakeholder Capitalism is Schwab’s agenda. As far as Fink was concerned, ESG, “sustainability,” and the agenda for what we have termed “woke capital” would dominate the markets for years, while he wrongly thinks that he will retain the funds clients have given him and he will thus implement Schwab Agenda and end democracy along the way. Has all the money Fink has gathered from others to manage gone to his head? Has he forgotten that freedom is the very reason he was allowed to become a fund manager?…

 

Thanks to Stakeholder Economics introduced back in 1932, this led to the worst economic performance in history, and not until Milton Friedman pointed out that corporation’s concerns are to simply make a profit for their shareholders. They are NOT to take shareholders’ money and use it for their personal charities…

Fink appears to have been mesmerized by Schwab for he has been using client’s funds to buy up houses paying cash and typically 20% over the asking price. Realtors like steering property to BlackRock for it is cash, and they are not even that picky. In the first quarter of 2021, 15% of U.S. homes sold were purchased by corporate investors — not families looking to achieve their American dream. Fink has been competing with middle-class Americans for the homes, the average American has virtually no chance of winning a home over his investment firm, which strangely is in line with Schwab’s 2030 Agenda – you will own nothing and be happy.

Companies to take off like BlackRock will typically crash and burn cyclically at 34 years or 41-43 year intervals. BlackRock has peaked in its 34-year cycle and this is a serious concern. If all the investors demanded their money back, they would find that the investment strategy of BlackRock is not much different from a bank. A crisis in liquidity could easily arise forcing it to dump shares which could lead to 2023 low and it would also impact the real estate market. Even the rumor here in Florida is that BlackRock has bought more than 20,000 homes.

I strongly advise that you pay attention to BlackRock on Socrates for its near $10 trillion portfolio poses an equal and serious risk to the world economy during a liquidity crisis. It is way too big to manage on a liquid basis. A crisis in BlackRock would be equal to a sovereign debt crisis. A liquidity crisis in BlackRock will give a new meaning to Too Big to Fail.

Connecting the 1956 AT&T Consent Decree with the Silicon Valley boom, and the risks of lobbying government and government regulation . . .

How Silicon Valley’s Leap Ahead Was Preceded by Visible Government Footsteps
https://dcjournal.com/how-silicon-valleys-leap-ahead-was-preceded-by-visible-government-footsteps/

comment image

. . . In 1949. . . the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department began an investigation of AT&T centered on its vertically integrated business structure and the monopolistic activities that were generated by it. The investigation, which lasted for seven years, eventually culminated in 1956 with a government consent decree with AT&T that was delegated for enforcement with a federal District Court.

The resulting court order effectively barred AT&T from the computer business while giving other companies unprecedented access and support through royalty-free licenses of its transistor patents. This proved particularly devastating to AT&T since it had emerged as a leader of the post-war technological research boom while other companies still were only building early computer prototypes.

As the 1956 AT&T consent decree took hold, a small start-up company, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, Calif., began working on silicon semiconductor devices, in the shadows of Stanford University. Not coincidentally, this laboratory was started by the same team of scientists and engineers who had invented the transistor in 1947 while employed at Bell Labs. This team, which included Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce, designed a new method for producing silicon, which would replace germanium as the then-prominent material in transistors. And the area now known as Silicon Valley began to develop an entirely new innovation ecosystem.

Today, the Silicon Valley region is synonymous with the production of silicon microprocessors. But the essential linkage between the 1956 AT&T divestiture (a subsequent one separating Ma Bell from its telephone operating companies was settled in 1981) and its role in stimulating the growth of Silicon Valley is a critical missing piece of American technology history.

This linkage is especially relevant today, given the growing involvement of Silicon Valley companies in national policymaking. Yet, as a residual part of the 1956 AT&T antitrust final judgment, there remains a notable corporate culture aversion of leading technology companies to become too close to federal government regulators. The longstanding and deep-seated aversion to government oversight, spawned by Intel and peer companies in the 1950s as the AT&T antitrust prosecution moved ahead, applies to a range of Silicon Valley companies today, including Apple, Facebook and Google. . . .

All I remember about phones in the 50s is that they worked. Virtually flawlessly.

Then, as described above, the govt got involved …

Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #547 – Watts Up With That?

Number of the Week: 50,000 times: The Center for Health Security for Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health states:
Cyanide is a naturally occurring chemical, found in many plants, that has been used in conventional warfare and poisoning for more than two millennia. It is highly lethal, whether inhaled as a gas, ingested in solid form, or absorbed through topical exposure. Two notable incidents in recent history include the Jonestown Massacre in 1978 and the Tylenol poisonings in 1982, which highlight the lethality of this poison. Despite its historical use as a chemical warfare agent, the most common cause of cyanide poisoning is smoke inhalation from fires.
In discussing EPA proposed safety margins for “forever chemicals” PFOA and PFOC, in Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) Susan Goldhaber environmental toxicologist writes in the American Council on Science and Health:
“EPA proposed an MCL of 4 parts per trillion (4 ppt) for PFOA and PFOS. This is the lowest level detectable in drinking water – analytical methods cannot find these chemicals below 4 ppt.
“For comparison purposes, the MCL for cyanide, which everybody recognizes is an extremely toxic chemical, is 0.2 parts per million (ppm) – equivalent to 200,000 ppt. Since the MCLs are based on health, this translates to PFOA/PFOS being 50,000 times more toxic than cyanide, which should strike any scientist as somewhat absurd.” It appears that sections of the EPA are competing for the title “Fantasyland Washington.” See links under Science, Policy, and Evidence and EPA and other Regulators on the March. [If a chemical lasts forever, it does not react chemically with anything—including the human body. How, then, can it be toxic?] See links under Challenging the Orthodoxy and https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/publications/cyanide-fact-sheet#:~:text=Cyanide%20is%20a%20naturally%20occurring,or%20absorbed%20through%20topical%20exposure.

They had some very interesting comments about that fight.

  1. POTUS Trump was the FIRST personality to enter to HIS music. (Crowd goes wild)
  2. The Music was BAD ASS by Kid Rock. Kyle says it is a take off of the most famous Heavy Metal riff.
  3. At least THREE fighters paid tribute to POTUS. Very significant.
  4. John McStain tried to DESTROY the UFC and Potus Trump saved it.

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?’

The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters,
‘No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’

I had a ‘blond’ (Palomino) pony that was the embodiment of the ‘blond joke’

She never learned to FOLLOW the other ponies down the fence line to the gate to come into the yard to be fed grain. She would run back & forth mid fence and every day I would have to go in and catch her and lead her to the gate. 🙄 

NOTE: My SHEEP can fine the gate to come into be fed! The lambs figure it out in less than a week.

That was the DUMBEST equine I have ever owned. She was even dumber than my Thoroughbred!

Blonds just want to have fun‼️😃🤚😎👍❤️❤️❤️

Maybe she just considered it a game. “See I can get the pink ape to come lead me there.”

Gail Combs

Nope JUST DUMB!

Another pony, who was my first is the game player. I swear he has a sense of humor.

A different take. if not showing, The French riots are over Blackrock investing the French country’s pensions in known-to-be-failing investments that will crash in the near term. Coupling this with the Macron power grab and forced raising of the retirement age by 2 years, made The People a bit feisty. It’s why they stormed Blackrock’s HQ :

To make it show here, remove everything after the “jpg,” like this:

Then position your cursor to the left of the “j” in “jpg” and backspace until you have erased the “?format=” like this:

Then place a period before the “jpg”

This is a very important discussion on the Trans Issue.

@ 57 minutes. It starts with a clip of where Gen Flynn is talking of the Art of War (by Sun Tsu) and trans (>0.5% of population) Just Human (Kyle) then takes up the issue and points out we have to look at it from WHAT is the Cabal’s goal. WHY are they pushing this shit. (I will add that they laid the ground work with the LEFTIST BULLYING to change the description from the ‘polite’ Negro of my childhood to Black to African American.)

Kyle points out that the GOAL seems to be to get us to ACCEPT the denial of reality and possible methods of fighting back.

SHOCKING UPDATE: FBI Now Admits to 40 Undercover Agents Infiltrated the Crowds on Jan. 6 #Fedsurrection

If they admit to 40, there were probably at least three times that many.

Gail Combs

That is JUST 40 FBI. Other agencies had MORE than the FBI….

Se how that works?

kalbokalbs

Plus contractors.

I read this somewhere…

NASA will spend about $52 billion to search for and destroy the Pioneer 10 probe, launched into space 50 years ago and carrying a message to intelligent life forms that was recognized as transphobic”

Am pretty sure it’s a joke, well as sure as I can be these days.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yeah, well the same “message” was on Pioneer 11.

Which is in a totally different place, but also far away.

So perhaps $104B spent to get them both.

scott467

To be ‘transphobic’ would be to have a fear of trannies, but trannies don’t induce fear.

What most normal people are is transgagic. The sight of a tranny causes a lot of people to have a little bit of throw-up in their mouth, also called ‘vurping’ (vomiting + burping), which causes them to gag.

The trannies then tried to claim that gagging at trannies was ‘transphobic’, but the tranny-gaggers countered by pointing out that tranny-gagging is just a normal reflex response to involuntary trans-induced vomit.

The trannies had to concede that was a pretty good point.

para59r

Without the Revulsion you describe I’d think Disgust or Disdain pretty much covers it. But yeah, definitely not fear. At one time it might of been Indifference but seeing them idolized is rather Revolting.

Donald J. Trump:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110175037026906627

Ron DeSantis is a young man who is not doing well against me in the polls, to put it mildly. I believe that if he decides to run for President, which will only hurt and somewhat divide the Republican Party, he will lose the cherished and massive MAGA vote, and never be able to successfully run for office again. If he remains Governor, which is what Florida voters assumed, it would be a whole different story….JUST SAYIN’ – But who knows?

I just knew these two were not really fighting. It’s all pro wrestling.

Sure sounds like a HINT!  😋

does the RNC who threw $200M behind him know that? What Would Hillary Do?

I would be surprised if that was a real AI response, as opposed to a meme made to look like an AI response.

If it really was an AI response, it already memes better than the Left ever did 😁

https://heavy.com/news/connor-sturgeon/

Connor Sturgeon, 23, “He/Him” Louisville Shooting Suspect. Bank employee who killed 4 and wounded 9.

The victims killed in the shooting have been identified as Joshua Barrick, 40; Thomas Elliott, 63; Juliana Farmer, 45; and James Tutt, 64. Louisville Metro Police Officer Nickolas Wilt was wounded and is in critical condition, police said. All with the exception of the officer Wilt worked at the bank.

Sturgeon was Syndications Associate & Portfolio Banker at Old National Bank.

On a now-deleted LinkedIn profile, Connor Sturgeon wrote, “I am a Syndications Associate and Portfolio Banker with Old National Bank in Louisville following completion of the ONB Commercial Banking Development Training Program in April 2022. I am certified in the RMA Lending Decision Process, hold a Master’s in Finance from the University of Alabama, and am on the Young Professionals board for Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana.”

Sturgeon began working as a commercial development professional at the bank in June 2021 and moved into his most recent role in April 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile

“Handled multiple roles at once, including managing a business banking portfolio, building digital infrastructure for new syndications team, and meeting with prospective and existing clients of all sizes,” he wrote.

Something about his dad and his influence on son?

Sturgeon’s father retweeted a video of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich talking about gun control the day before the shooting in Louisville. Todd Sturgeon retweeted a video clip from reporter Tom Orsborn with the caption, “Pop used final 10 minutes of his pre-game presser to slam ‘cowardly, oblivious legislators’ for their inaction on gun control in wake of the mass shootings that have plagued America. Their inaction, he said, has contributed to making the U.S. the ‘laughingstock’ of the world.”

The kicker….

A Twitter profile that belonged to Sturgeon has also been taken down. According to The Daily Beast, the now-deleted Twitter account included, “posts in support of the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, as well as some criticism of police violence and of then-President Donald Trump,” alongside tweets about the NBA, sports and messages between friends.

Sturgeon also appears to have been at one-point a frequent poster on Reddit. An account matching his Twitter and Instagram handle, csturg41, was suspended by Reddit after the shooting. Heavy viewed the account prior to its being taken down. Many of the posts, including the most recent, were about sports and video games, including a post three days ago about the Dallas Mavericks missing the NBA playoffs.

Sturgeon also posted political memes, mainly mocking conservatives, former President Donald Trump and Fox News, on several subreddits, including “DankMemes,” “F***thealtright,” and “trollychromosome,” along with “Leopardsatemyface.” He posted a meme in July 2020 on the “f***thealtright” subreddit of a cartoon of a musclar figure responding to someone asking how he got his muscles by saying, “Every time Trump tweets some racist s*** …. I do one push up.”

This is a good example of why Dims, Crims and other loony Leftists should voluntarily disarm, adding voluntary disarmament to their arsenal of virtue-signals.

How could Leftist gun-grabbers disagree?

Dimocrat voluntary disarmament would eliminate somewhere around half the population from owning guns. By their own arguments, democraps would have to agree that America would be much safer with half the population disarmed, compared to none.

And conservatives would certainly agree that America is much safer with Dims being unarmed. So everyone would be in agreement.

Dimocrats ought to hold themselves to the standard they want for everyone else, and everyone else should help them to hold themselves to their own standards. Dimocrats should lead by example, and volunteer to give up all of their guns.

What’s the argument against it, if they believe in their own position?

They might argue that if Dims unilaterally give up their guns but conservatives don’t, then Dims are at a dangerous disadvantage — but that’s a pro self-defense argument in favor of guns 😂

As is every argument why Dims should not unilaterally disarm and forego ever having guns.

Biden Signs Republican-Led Bill Ending COVID-19 Emergency
The bill consists of a sole sentence directing the national COVID-19 emergency declared on March 13, 2020, to be “terminated.”

The injections could be made mandatory for illegal aliens.

If the political-class wants to keep pretending to believe the injections are harmless, then what objection could they have?

Put billboards in multiple languages all along the border, covered with facts about the dangers of the injection they are about to receive, if they cross the border.

Almost certainly more effective than a wall.

Cat Among Pigeons Now – Swiss Stop mRNA Jab

Well… this is an interesting development. The Swiss have dropped their recommendation for the mRNA Jab unless your M.D. recommends it due to you having some co-morbidity or being an old fart. Kind of what it ought to have been all along. But wait, there’s more… Seems some folks are suing over the original mandate in Switzerland…..

As a PureBlood with pushing 4 years now of “No Problems” (using Vit-I most of the last 3-ish years) but happy to cross the country a few times, meet with 1/4 million or so of my “closest strangers” at J6; oh, and lately going to a foreign country and visiting several bars… to say I’m “skeptical” of the mandate is to say that police are “skeptical” of criminals stories…

Whatever…

Bottom line is it looks like the Swiss are “going there first” and their courts will get first shot at shooting those pushing the shot… But “we’ll see” …

More…

Sunday night’s DEFECTED is 4 hours so I am going thru it slowly.
https://rumble.com/v2h4muy-defected-ep-21-sun-900-pm-et-news.html

Here is another interestingTidbit…

@ 2:40:00
Epstein LOTS OF NEWS recently.
US Virgin Island case (Judge ordered must turn over all media -Picts, videos) J.P. Morgan Chase, Financials, RICO??? FORCED subpoena being served on Lex Wexner (Bed, Bath & Beyond, Victoria’s Secret) He was literally refusing to answer door. Also subpoenaed Jamie Diamond of J.P. Morgan Chase. He is trying to sever himself from the lawsuit. Maxwell is saying she wants to appeal.

Zoom out and you have Peter Thiel and the Silicon Valley Bank Run that spread to other banks then a week later Epstein victims bringing suit against J.P. Morgan Chase AND Deutsche Bank.

@ 2:49:45
General Flynn tweet time stamp connects to a Q comm. ‘Plain Sight’ is in both the tweet and the Q comm. Q says “trafficking in plain sight’ General Flynn’s tweet is about a Cindy McStain video saying they ALL KNEW ABOUT EPSTEIN and trafficking but were afraid of him.
@ 2:52:25 Kyle then points out a page from the lawsuit. (Shown on screen)
The Q Drop is April 6th and says “report to FBI” The lawsuit page is ALSO dated April 6th and orders any possible abuse in the videos and images to be “reported to FBI” This gets the info ON RECORD and gives victims ACTUAL EVIDENCE of the abuse that can be used in a court of law.

This is much better than a list of names on an internet site… [IF IT WORKS.] It is a major slap in the face to normies who at this point all know WHO Epstein is.

…..

My take is the timing is exquisite. You have POTUS indicted over nonsensical chicken schiff. In the meantime, if sex trafficking is linked to BIG NAME politicians, media, CEOs… the contrast before an election is going to be beautiful,

Doubt if I ever got to go through more than a dozen cover to cover. They were always at someone else’s house, or between someone’s books at school or on the bus or on the magazine stand, but definitely did the fold in on a fair few when that trick was shown.
