Note from DePat:
Happy Friday! This will be REALLY short and sweet as I was with my mother for out-patient surgery on Thursday most of the morning (CRASHED all afternoon and evening), and the pre-op work up team discovered a previously undetected issue. Let’s just say, for everyone here, please implore your vaxxed family and friends to request EKGs at their next appointments with their primary care team. Or sooner. We were at a hospital my family normally doesn’t use, and that step was added to the pre-op prep, and may very well have saved us a lot of grief down the line. Mom now is stalking cardiologists. So, my apologies for this not being quite up to DePat standards.
About the sub “lost” or “imploded” which raised red flags for many of us:
Long story short, mother WEFers were “aboard.”
Good questions that should all be on the table.
Several of us thought that from the beginning.

2 CORINTHIANS 11:18, 21-30
18since many boast of worldly things, I too will boast.) 21To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of — I am speaking as a fool — I also dare to boast of that. 22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one — I am talking like a madman — with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea; 26on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren; 27in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? 30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
PSALMS 34:2-7
1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
MATTHEW 6:19-23
19“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, 20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; 23but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
So many songs in these passages.
SATIRE!
Have a good weekend!
Yay!!! for our heroic De Pat, who took the time to bring forth a post with memes and links and verses and stuff, even while dealing with a family crisis.
May she rest well, and receive support and comfort from Our Lord.
Thank you so much, but…..
It’s not so much a crisis, as something to deal with. Today’s surgery was scheduled a while back, and was elective. The heart thing was a surprise, but we can deal. My sibs are in the loop, and we will deal.
Still, it’s alarming confirmation that the vaxxed need to assess their heart health, among other things. I hope your Mom’s issue will be easily resolved.
Thanks for your fantastic openers night after night, DPat. I’m always eager to see what header photo you choose!
Prayers for your mom, DePat.
The problem with getting family to get EKGs is that I don’t think health insurance or medicare will pay for them unless there is a documented reason for ordering them. Obamacare has pretty much put the medical profession under the control of insurance companies and pencil pushers who control the practices of most doctors these days.
And then there’s the problem of getting my family to think they need one. They think the shots are just fine. Thankfully, none of them seem to be showing any ill effects from the shots thus far.
Medicare is paying for this. Trust me, all will want to know. Mom didn’t think there was anything amiss, but….
Absolutely right that you need a reason, but the reasons are now a low bar. Just being on Medicare gets an annual “quickie” one now for me, with my insurance, whether I want it or not.
Unusual chest pains of any kind will get that EKG faster than you can say “pericarditis or myocarditis”. Palpitations, shortness of breath on exertion – plenty of symptoms will get that EKG now!
Exactly.
The Medical care system is all too ready to figure a way to bill, the cash cow, Medicare.
Folks with Medicare and a secondary payer, (BCBS, Kaiser, etc.), medical care providers are nothing short of jubilant.
I swear I see it spoken, that that clearly, but various comments quacks make, every visit.
Medical care is a racket to jack up increase billing…tests, scripts, referrals…test, scripts, referral… Rinse. Repeat.
Prayers for the heart surprise to turn out well for your mom and family.
Maximum irony – they never got to see the Titanic.
And they Paid In Advance. Double Ouch!
And they each signed complete waivers. No payday for the families.
I wondered if you would have an opinion on that. It seems that in some cases people have been able to get around waivers and still sue. But from what I’ve read, these waivers were very comprehensive.
Secondary irony — the waivers were likely written by 50yo white guys.
Ha! And thus were ironclad.

Yea, I have not idea what I am talking about.
Good GRIEF, that was CRINGE.
Which is why the left/WEF/globalists work so hard to rewrite history using the media, publishing houses, etc. They don’t want normies to know the truth.
Which is why, anything related to freaks, is rejected.
BOOM!!!
DePat, Good Energy to you and prayers and Deep Healing to your mother.
Yes to an EKG for anyone who is “vaccinated.” AND a D-dimer test to check for elevated micro-clot levels.
My sister did some digging on the specific issue, and given my mother’s history and age, it may well have been present for a number of years, and it just now was noticed.
Sorry to hear about this, but very, very glad that you caught it in time.
It just needs to be managed. Who knows what the cardiologists are going to try.
I will say this – I’m impressed with modern cardiology. Between drugs that work (though they prescribe way too much), procedures that avoid 99% of the dangers, and stents or devices that solve damn near everything, it has come a LONG way. I was fortunate to need absolutely minimal care, but many people around me who should be dead are walking around fit as fiddles after treatment.
Absolutely.
They do incredible procedures to save lives and prolong lives.
You won’t even hear me argue against surgeries and physical procedures and interventions. I just hate drugs. On the main, I think they are mostly harmful.
Love her teeth. 😂
Can opener… 🙂
Not a her. Female impersonator.
Catturd:
I’ve been trying to imagine what it was like for the family members. They heard on Sunday or Monday that the Navy thought there had been an explosion but could not say definitively. If I were in the families’ position, I would not want it announced until they knew for sure. That gave the families some time to deal with the news and to know what to expect. It was not important for the public to know. The search had to continue in any case so they could determine what had happened.
It would not surprise me to learn that there was an agreement with the families to continue the “rescue” narrative until they had proof of an explosion. Continuing with a rescue operation was the only appropriate thing to do until they knew for sure that the crew had perished.
“I’ve been trying to imagine what it was like for the family members.”
_________
That’s because you’re normal.
TCTB could not care less about the family members, the family members don’t even rise to the level of pawns to them.
Look how all of the governments involved treat their own populations. Does that hatred of the People suddenly morph into tender loving care, if you survive a bio-weapon attack and a global genocide vaccination, but then go missing in a submersible?
They hate us and they want us dead.
They are not our friends.
.
The claim: “They heard on Sunday or Monday that the Navy thought there had been an explosion but could not say definitively.”
_________
The truth: The military better have known definitively, and almost instantly.
If they can’t say definitively in less than about 5 minutes what that implosion sound was, then we should scrap the entire global early warning system and the trillions that have been poured into it over the last 7+ decades.
They have equipment to track the most quiet submarines in the world, everywhere a submarine could go, and the ability to distinguish acoustic anomalies from however many millions of naturally occurring acoustic phenomena they have recorded over the past 80+ years. They have the most advanced analysis and equipment that money can buy, in the whole world, and above it.
It’s laughable that the lead speaker on Wednesday pretended as if they didn’t already know, as if it might take days, while a carrier pigeon flew an 8-track cassette tape to subject matter experts at some government facility across the world.
EVERYTHING is a lie.
.
I’m not disputing that; just asking what you think happened.
Here are a couple of theories I’ve seen.
One is that there was no submarine mission, that the people supposedly on board are now cooperating witnesses and are in hiding, and that they have knowledge about Epstein. So we have four prominent people and the son of one of them, and in order to take them out of circulation, someone cooks up a scheme where they supposedly board a submarine that explodes, and this story requires untold expense, danger, and man hours to support it — when the same people could have just been placed on a theoretical plane that “crashed” if they needed to disappear. There are people who believe the entire submarine story is a psyop.
Separately, Zach Vorhies’ theory, from the open, is that the Titanic was blown up in 1912 instead of hitting an iceberg and that missions to view the Titanic are too risky for the WEF because they might discover that the hull buckled out from an explosion instead of buckled in from hitting an iceberg. (Never mind that it is said not that the iceberg buckled the hull in, but that it caused the rivets to come loose, causing the hull to fall apart.) He thinks that it’s suspicious that OceanGate was getting allowed to make these trips to view the Titanic. At the same time, Vorhies says the OceanGate company is funded by the Rothschilds, so go figure.
He says, “But this event will be used as leverage to make the titanic off limits by visitation by the citizens of the west so that the narrative of the Federal Reserve is preserved.”
The people who propagate these theories are the same ones who complain that the media is distracting us from Hunter or other news items. So while they come up with elaborate theories that require time to parse, they accuse others of distracting us.
“I’m not disputing that; just asking what you think happened.”
__________
So far, I’m not aware of any good reason to think it didn’t happen as it appears, that the CEO of OceanGate was a wokester with more money than sense, and took 3 wealthy customers (with a similar lack of sense) on a 3-hour tour.
Seems absurdly unlikely that such an elaborate hoax would be contemplated in order to make 5 people disappear without really dying.
We’re not living in a James Bond movie. If for some reason 3 unrelated people along with a father and son had some knowledge that caused them to need to go into witness protection, you just do that. If the submersible disaster was a con, it’s certainly not going to fool nation-state intelligence agencies, and anyone they would go to this much effort to disappear from would have access to nation-state level intelligence agencies.
About the Zach Vorhies theory, I suspect that ice-breaker ships cutting through a sheet of surface ice, even ice several feet thick (and hopefully with some sort of protective plow-like attachment to the bow of the ship) is a whole different matter than running into the equivalent of a floating mountain, like an iceberg.
In any event, recent hi-rez scans have been published, showing the wreckage of the Titanic in greater detail than ever before, even making the serial number on one of the propellers readable.
The bow of the ship, where the waterline would have been, appears to be buried 60+ feet or more under the surface of the bottom of the ocean.
So I don’t think anyone is going to get a good look at the hole anytime soon, at least not without draining the ocean and getting some backhoes down there.
And that’s not gonna be cheap, that I can tell you.
Plus, you have to find somewhere to put all the water.
And put it back, when you’re done.
.
Titanic: First ever full-sized scans reveal wreck as never seen before
.
If someday they do drain the ocean, I have some thoughts about where they can temporarily put all that water.
Right.
Good point.
The two men who were lookouts in the crow’s nest, Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee, were the first to spot the iceberg. Both survived because they were ordered to command lifeboats. So we have firsthand accounts of eye witnesses who were present at the time that it was an iceberg, not an explosion.
👍🏼 Internet influencers who talk out of their…hats are not helping because a) they don’t research and present factual data, but only that which supports their theories, and b) others will believe their theories and spread them, also without looking at facts that would disprove them. Even when presented with such facts, they will not be swayed. It’s an amazing phenomenon.
The attitude of many that anything…absolutely anything…said by someone in authority must, ipso facto, be a lie doesn’t help.
Yes, it’s good to be skeptical, but sometimes they aren’t lying. If nothing else they have to be truthful some of the time or the people they are trying to sucker won’t believe them when they do lie.
Your closing sentence might be the most important truth disclosed this year. Everybody needs to know this, and all its related facts.
“No cover like the truth!”
Exactly. That’s why I will read and post data from some mainstream media articles. Many times they cover things that alternative news media doesn’t, and they will present factual data, especially when it’s not in their interest to editorialize.
This is an important principle of history actually. The further back you go the more reliant you are on written sources we’re very lucky to have (we know of many lost documents from antiquity, and we know about the lost ones because they’re mentioned in the documents we do have).
The guys who wrote the documents are human and the subject matter was important to them (else why bother to write out longhand on (then) expensive media). Therefore they are biased and we can presume some of what they wrote is wrong either due to bias or even a willingness to lie. But the documents aren’t worthless, because there are ways to detect a likely lie, and sometimes even to figure out what the truth was, from the lie. One of these is, as you mentioned, a situation where they have no interest in lying. Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.
“Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.”
_____________
One of the many evidences of the Scriptures.
They record all sorts of immoral / violent / disobedient things said and done, including those kinds of things which were said and done by all the good guys.
Also positive testimony by hostile witnesses.
Actually this sort of analysis has another use.
Ultimately our knowledge of scripture comes from very old manuscripts, which suffer from a couple of problems. One is typical scribal errors (misspellings, the occasional repeated or skipped line, etc). These form the vast majority of differences between the old manuscripts. But sometimes there’s actually a substantive difference; these are often highlighted with footnotes in more recent translations of the Bible. These can range from one word in length to entire chapters “missing” (or perhaps “added”). Essentially if one variant looks worse for the author’s cause (not necessarily the author himself, but his cause) than the other, then all other things the same it’s more likely the original version and other people tried to “fix” it in their manuscripts.
funny I just commented on that quote pointing to scripture Before reading your better expressed take! We keep being on a “twinsie” roll it seems 😉
“Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.”
Ironically I believe this is one of the mechanisms whereby certain scriptural accounts are considered to be more truthful than might otherwise be expected, given the human tendency to lie/exaggerate to make ourselves look better or more noble than we actually are 🙂
That said, they probably don’t have too many acoustic samples of a carbon-fiber pressure vessel collapsing because so few people would ever dive with such a thing.
Hope equipment is set to Record continuously 😉
They do.
especially “top secret” stuff 😉
No doubt it is set to record continuously, with multiple microphones, to multiple data storage facilities, with multiple automatic backups.
kind of like an acoustic net sweeping up every signal imaginable perhaps….
I can’t believe the number of people who believe the official narrative. From the beginning, this sounded like a psyop to cover for these five people’s disappearance. Several conspiracy accounts all agree. The sub – if it exists – didn’t implode. They made a run for friendlier pastures or are now in witness protection or something.
Well … that was my thought.
“That said, they probably don’t have too many acoustic samples of a carbon-fiber pressure vessel collapsing because so few people would ever dive with such a thing.”
_________
Probably not.
On the other hand, considering how much the gov’t wastes (as an apparent virtue), it would not surprise me that they have done full size mock-ups of carbon fiber submersibles, purely to implode them at depth, in order to record the sound, in order to recognize it from any of the other undersea sounds in their audio database.
But whether they do or they don’t, it is certain that they know what an underwater implosion sounds like, as opposed to any naturally occurring audio phenomena, and anything making that type of sound at the time and place of the missing submersible…
When we have to bend over backwards to come up with excuses why they might not know, we can be confident they knew.
At least I am 😂
Speaking of governments, some things are worth repeating.
They hate us and they want us dead.
They are not our friends.
If they had made public that they thought there had been an explosion on Sunday or Monday, the story would still have sucked the oxygen out of the news cycle because no one would not have known for sure whether the crew was alive. We still would have heard about the 96 hours of life support, in case they were mistaken about the explosion. That would have happened until they found pieces of wreckage.
This Navy sub veteran knew they were dead two days ago, and said so. Took me five minutes to find it again, no idea why it would be so hard to find now:
(19.35): “so the Titan began its descent with five Souls on board, uh contact was lost after an hour and 40 minutes, and contact was never re-established.
And uh, I really feel terrible for all the families involved because your family members are dead, and it hurts me to say that, but it’s the truth and I hope this video helps give you some closure, help, helping you know what probably happened.
We’ll know more in the coming days, I’ll probably do a follow-up to this, but I hope this video helps you process what’s, what’s happened this past week.”
.
Yes, I remember that from when I watched the video. But he is not part of the official investigation. His conclusion seems to be based on the fact that contact ceased. He didn’t mention an explosion, and I doubt he knew that they suspected one.
I had the impression that his conclusion was based on a career in Navy submarines, and professional knowledge of the inherent dangers of a 12,000 foot dive, after assessing the OceanGate website and listening to the interview with the CEO.
12,000 feet down, with a half-baked captain, in an improvised home-brew carbon fiber submersible, with a Nintendo blue-tooth controller, no apparent safety features, no apparent oxygen scrubbers, no communication (because the skipper didn’t like to be bothered during his joy rides…) a hatch sealed from the outside (and more), seemed to be enough for the retired professional submariner to reach the same conclusion I did.
It was a one-way trip.
Darwin Awards to all.
There should be an award, lower than Darwin, for these five idiots.
Satan sent a pride demon [not the new kind of pride] to influence them to suspend disbelief.
It worked – the dive was infested with demonically influenced/possessed humans.
And all of those things you mention are supported by reports over several years of people who had dealings with the company, saying things were too lax. The lack of care didn’t just pop up as a ruse to support some theory of “disappearing”; it was how they operated all along.
The first fools’ errand:
https://archive.is/kaHvE
Forgot about that one.
I have always considered Biosphere II a great success, being that it kept it from being attempted 30+ years later in a less-accessible location.
Despite the fact that none of the crew had backgrounds in the appropriate sciences?
Yup.
It was an experiment that forced several changes of thinking. It recontextualized all of the underlying assumptions.
Mind you, there were probably cheaper and safer ways of finding out the same information — but nobody was looking from those angles.
At the end of the first round, someone should have been singing:
Nobody’s going to join the song?
IF the families did not KNOW, what to expect, they are as blatantly ignorant, as the five ignoramuses, voluntarily, in the death coffin.
I read a theory that, based on some “insider info”, it may have been the sub hitting bottom. That the tapping heard was a standard SOS, and that the implosion happened later. Which makes some sense to me.
The scattering of the debris indicates that it disintegrated on the way down and the currents spread the wreckage.
Somewhere it said it takes about five hours to get down to depth, and comms were lost around 1:45 in, so it was still way above the sea floor and the remains of the Titanic. If indeed it were there at all…..
IMO.
Tapping from inside the coffin, NEVER happened.
There was an implosion.
Whether the Navy ever comes clean with accurate facts. I’d bet NOT.
Yeah, I don’t we’ll ever hear the truth about it.

Matt Gaetz was not alone in questioning Durham integrity yesterday.
Listen close 😁
I have to admit, Durham really looked pathetic, incompetent and corrupt during the Gaetz questioning.
He looked like an apologist for criminals, and he knew it.
Can’t be said too often…

Couple days ago, I posted…
Bullshit Durham IS A Colossal Fuck Up.

Victoria Spartz, couple posts up, shreds Durham, his team AND ALCK of ACTION – Indictments – Arrest.
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, VAPORIZED.
It was the DOI-J dictated framework for investigation. B2 and his merry band of fellow crims in the department set the terms of engagement. However, Durham accepted the assignment. He has no place to hide in his role of protector of the globalist mafia.
Remember all of the people who suggested Sessions and Rat were white hats? Yeah, OK.
Many people are just now waking up to the truth that American government does not and has not honored its founding documents and related laws for quite some time. The law itself morphed into tyranny from its founding and has been continually compromised.
Study the Hebrews from the giving of the Commandments and laws of Moses. What grew out of that simplicity? Now most of Israel does not even believe in the God of Moses and Abraham.
Same deal. The only way back is through Jesus and revival as a nation to its core founding and values. Nothing else will work or matter.
Your next-to-last paragraph — is it that bad?
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
From personal experience the people who turned away from God have lost their moral compass. They lean Marxist accept all the mew BS fed to them.
Not speaking about people who are fed up with organized religion and live their faith out quietly by example.
I have been told by knowledgeable faith leaders in the UMC and SBC over the years that less than half of the citizens of Israel exhibit faith in God. They have allegiance to the country and their people.Whereas other polls say 80% of Israeli Jews do believe in God. The problem is only the orthodox live by the faith and that is about a third of the believers. Nearly half describe themselves as secular. Only a third even observe some aspects of Shabbat. Below is a dated link to survey info. I am told it is worse now.
https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4181776,00.html
As you know you can say you believe in God and have no clue who He is and what the relationship entails.
The following link breaks down how American Jews view things. More believe that God did not give Israel the land than do believe as an example. The promise of the land is a covenant promise. Hard to say you believe in God if you do not believe in one of His covenants.

ThanQ
I think the point of this exercise was more about exposure of facts and corruption than protection of the swamp. Gaetz and the other questioners then started the push for something to be done about it.
One step at a time. Demand has to be created for the whole system to be dismantled. That’s what this is about. More waking people up.

Trump impersonator Shawn Farash leaves a message for Schiff, as Trump. He calls Schiff’s D.C. office and you can hear Schiff’s voicemail message. Then “Trump” leaves him a message. I’m not sure whether Farash really left a message on that line because the video jumps a little right before he starts talking as Trump. (I bet he would get in big trouble if he really did that.) But he does a great job as usual. 😅
While he mimicked Trump, never said or implied he was.
Can’t see him getting in legal trouble. Did he do something, illegal?
Can see the Feds making him uncomfortable AND targeting him for something else.
Yes. They can come up with things.
Yup. They went after the meme guy while “pretending not to know”.

Verse of the Day for Friday, June 23, 2023
✟
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.”
1 Chronicles 16:11 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
TY Duchess for the many encouragements. Praying for you & hoping all is well. Blessings!
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.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Seems the visit was primarily to promote India and forestall criticism of his country. (to wit get Biden back stabbers to stop undermining India’s affairs.)
To that end it seemed successful on the surface, but backstabbers are backstabbers.
No other greater message, which is unfortunate, but likely necessary at this point for India.

To be fair (heh, heh), World’s Fair structures are typically cheaply-built facades with an estimated lifespan in months. It is unusual for something to be so solidly built that it can last for decades. The venue typically wants the land back sooner than that.
Further, when they are preserved, they tend to be long-term maintenance nightmares.
Here in the Lou, we actually do have three structures left from 1904 – a pavilion, the Art Museum, and the flight cage at the Zoo. The rest of it was plaster of paris and was easily torn down.
Seattle Space Needle and Seattle Monorail are two rather well-known examples of permanence. Are they a pain? No more than anything else Seattle has to offer.

The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children: an exploratory study:

An official website of the United States government
The present study investigated whether the etiology of preferred partner sex among pedophiles is related to the etiology of preferred partner sex among males preferring adult partners…The ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1. This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually.
—————-
The Journal of Sex Research found that homosexual pedophiles commit about one-third of the total number of sex offenses against children.
This fact is particularly disturbing. Homosexuals comprise just two percent of the population, yet are responsible for 33% of all child sexual abuse. They offend against children at 16 times the rate of the normal population.
The Archives of Sexual Behavior, in a study of 229 convicted child molesters, found that “eighty-six percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.”

How the Catholic Priesthood Became an Unlikely Haven for Many Gay Men
BY ROSS BENES APRIL 20, 2017 8:15 AM http://Slate.com
In a survey of several thousand priests in the U.S., the Los Angeles Times found that 28 percent of priests between the ages of 46 and 55 reported that they were gay. This statistic was higher than the percentages found in other age brackets and reflected the outflow of straight priests throughout the 1970s and ’80s.
The high number of gay priests also became evident in the 1980s, when the priesthood was hit hard by the AIDS crisis that was afflicting the gay community.
The Kansas City Star estimated that at least 300 U.S. priests suffered AIDS-related deaths between the mid-1980s and 1999. The Star concluded that priests were about twice as likely as other adult men to die from AIDS.
So how many gay priests actually exist?
Most surveys (which, due to the sensitivity of the subject, admittedly suffer from limited samples and other design issues) find between 15 percent and 50 percent of U.S. priests are gay, which is much greater than the 3.8 percent of people who identify as LGBTQ in the general population.
It’s not as if the church is unaware of this issue. A past president of the USCCB complained about an “ongoing struggle to make sure that the Catholic priesthood is not dominated by homosexual men.”
—–
Published studies show over 80% of the Catholic victims were male. 100% of the Boy Scout victims were male. A young female, because the world is over 96% heterosexual and thus most pedophiles, or airline pilots, or surgeons, or astronauts come from that 96%, is statistically 3 times more likely to be a pedophile victim than a young male. If the Catholic Priest pedophilia scandal was primarily heterosexual pedophilia, there would have been overwhelming huge numbers of Catholic young female victims, 3 to 1 outnumbering male victims. But over 80% of the over 200,000 Catholic pedophile victims were young males. The results confirm the studies

We love PFR! We got to see them in concert 150 miles from home shortly after the twins were home & “stable”. We drove our 3 babies/toddlers & dog to friends who lived about 1/2 hour from the concert venue & then saw PFR on their Them tour w/ Dogs of Peace opening. It was our last major concert as we really were settling into parenthood. it was a whirlwind 10-12 hour door-to-door adventure for us, as I recall. Things we do when “young” 😉
Thanks for the reminder of a very special memory ❤
I would have loved to have been at those two concerts. Favorite bands of mine.
That was one epic concert w/ DoP Opening for PFR. We’d never heard of DoP Before the concert but got their CD at the event & still enjoy listening to it 2 1/2+ decades later. We might have every PFR CD, some we’ve even bought more than once 🙂 Great Taste you’ve got there!

I wonder if the French ship named L’Atalante has any relation to the 1934 film L’Atalante:
“Capricious small-town girl Juliette and barge captain Jean marry after a whirlwind courtship, and she comes to live aboard his boat, L’Atalante. As they make their way down the Seine, Jean grows weary of Juliette’s flirtations with his all-male crew, and Juliette longs to escape the monotony of the boat and experience the excitement of a big city.”
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/LAtalante-Blu-ray/130003/
.
Full Review, by Dr. Svet Atansov:
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Complete-Jean-Vigo-Blu-ray/24203/#Review
“Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante, one of the greatest films ever made, is about two people madly in love with each other who realize that to stay in love they must learn to compromise.
The film opens up with Jean (Jean Dasté, Grand Illusion, The Wild Child) and Juliette’s (Dita Parlo, The Woman of Monte Carlo, Ultimatum) wedding, which is a strange one as there are no festivities to mark the happy event. Jean quickly takes Juliette to his river barge, L’Atalante, where he attempts to make love to her but fails after a few kitties decide to welcome his wife. Soon after, Juliette is also officially welcomed by Jules (Michel Simon, Boudu Saved From Drowning, Port of Shadows), Jean’s noisy right-hand man, and his younger apprentice.
At first excited to be on L’Atalante, Juliette slowly becomes bored and then frustrated with her new life. She begins fantasizing about visiting Paris and its luxury boutiques, but Jean shows little interest in making her dream come true. Sensing that things are heading in the wrong direction, Jules attempts to help but quickly fails and further complicates the situation.
Eventually, L’Atalante reaches the Paris canals. However, on the night when Jean finally agrees to take Juliette dancing and then show her the city, Jules decides to get drunk and see a fortune-teller — this means that Jean has to stay on L’atalante. Convinced that this is an opportunity that should not be missed, Juliette decides to see Paris alone.
What makes Vigo’s L’Atalante such an intriguing and special film is the fact that it simply does not fit any of the profiles which one would typically use to categorize French films made between 1920-1940. Technically, L’Atalante has plenty in common with many of the classic silent French films and even classic silent Russian films – especially as far as camera movement is concerned, which should not be surprising as the film’s cinematographer was Russian-born Boris Kaufman, the youngest brother of famous Russian director Dziga Vertov – but aesthetically the film has more in common with the works of the Italian neorealists, and particularly the films of Roberto Rosellini.
Portions of L’Atalante feel as if they were taken from a post-war documentary – they look raw and gritty, devoid of glamour and finesse. The rest of the film, however, is infused with the type of poetic beauty that will later on become one of the most distinctive qualities in the works of the French nouvelle vague directors (Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut).
Unlike his contemporaries, Vigo loved experimenting. Unsurprisingly, entire sequences in L’Atalante are fully improvised and left unedited. A lot of the sound is also not post-synchronized, thus adding a great deal to the film’s intended rawness.
This unique blending of realism and rawness with poetic beauty and occasionally bold eroticism, however, created mass confusion amongst those who first saw L’Atalante, including its own producers. As a result, after Vigo’s tragic death at age 29, the film underwent numerous edits. The original 1934 Chavance first version of L’Atalante was also lost – until Gaumont located a nitrate version with the original title at the British Film Institute’s National Film Archives in 1989.
Note: Criterion’s Blu-ray contains the 89-minute version of L’Atalante. The high-definition transfer the disc uses was created from the 2001 Gaumont 35mm restoration negative.”
Summary: “The famous film critic Roger Ebert once wrote that modern movies begin with Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless. I believe that modern movies begin with Jean Vigo’s brilliant L’Atalante. Without it countless great directors, including some of the nouvelle vague directors, would have never felt inspired to shoot their films. L’Atalante changed everything. Criterion’s The Complete Jean Vigo Collection is clearly one of the year’s most important releases. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

Distraction? Questions Swirl Over Timing Of Sub Story As Biden Bombshells Hit Target
As two IRS whistleblowers prepared to go public with more damning information implicating the Biden administration in a scheme to bury evidence of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes – as well as the revelation that Joe Biden was ‘in the room’ when Hunter shot a threatening message to a Chinese business associate demanding payment, a story which some have called “the biggest political scandal this country has ever seen”, another story captivated the nation: the deaths of missing submarine passengers who set off last weekend to see the Titanic, only to lose contact shortly into the trip.

—————————————————————-
So-called ‘normies’ … like cats … follow the ‘bouncing ball … the red dot …
They’re not alone though … are they… ? the ‘sub’ has been top story for days.
New shiny ball … FTA
… “This has led many to wonder whether the Biden administration allowed people to think the sub passengers were still alive, despite information and belief that the sub had likely imploded early into the voyage, a story arc that would have fizzled out much sooner and turned the public’s attention to the far greater bombshell of a story surrounding the latest alleged crimes by the Bidens.”
Peeps are still focused on a ‘distraction’ … forget the news of the ‘greatest scandal in history wrt Biden corruption’ … focus on the coverup
Yep. Poso’s point.
https://jdrucker.com/the-biden-harris-regime-knew-the-submersible-imploded-sunday-but-milked-the-story-to-coverup-their-scandals/
We have known for a long time these people are evil.
I will agree to disagree. I don’t think anyone, especially not anyone in this group, has forgotten about Biden corruption. We are able to look at any number of things at once. The mainstream media was not covering Biden corruption anyway, so no great loss there. And things will continue to move forward regarding the Bidens as more is uncovered. So this submarine event did not a) stop the investigation, b) stop people from knowing about the corruption, and c) prevent more Biden info from coming out.
I have no doubt they want people to be distracted, but it’s not going to work.
This one is disconcerting also.
Teacher Union Head Randi Weingarten Appointed to DHS School Safety Board for Some Reason

I’m sure she’ll make great contributions in silencing parents. 😬
Apparently she was a useful in the propaganda war in Ukraine also.

IMO, the appointment given to Weingarten is a couple of things:
One, payback for AFT money contributions to Biden/DemCommunists;
Two, payback for Weingarten, via the AFT, working with Walensky/CDC to dictate what would be “acceptable” regarding school re-openings;
Three, “paying forward” regarding the 2024 DemCommunist campaign and potential future school lockdowns due to COVID-19 “variants” appearing (like the XBB.1.5 “variant.”)

“Given the anniversary today is that was already mentioned upthread, Russia has released some archival documents about what happened 82 years ago. Furthermore:
“Also on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, the Russian Military Historical Society published in Russian for the first time the full version of Nazi Germany’s plan to exterminate the population of the USSR. Dubbed the “Hunger Plan” (German: “der Hungerplan”; “der Backe-Plan”), it was part of a strategy to use famine against the population of the Soviet Union, occupied by the Nazis.”
Here’s the link given in the article. The following excerpt comes several paragraphs after the article’s beginning:
“Meanwhile, in recent years, this document and its background have attracted more and more attention from European and American researchers (Gerlach, 1999, Kay, 2011, Benz 2011, Dieckmann, 2015, Ace, 2018). The greatest scientists see in it the basis of the so-called famine plan – a system of measures that were supposed to lead to the transformation of the Third Reich into economic autarky at the cost of starvation of millions of Soviet citizens. Western historiography has stated that, in the words of the famous British historian Adam Tooze, “the Wehrmacht invaded the Soviet Union with the intention of carrying out not one, but two programs of mass murder” (Ace, 2018: 609). From the very beginning of the war against the USSR, the goal of extermination for the political elite of the Third Reich was not only the Jews, whose tragedy was terrible and no one doubts, but also the widest group of Soviet citizens of other nationalities, the number of which Nazi planners estimated at 20-30 million people.”
All this correlates well with commentary I made at Simplicius’s about who were the #1 victims of the Holocaust, and they were not those professing the Jewish faith; rather, they were Slavs. In other words, what’s become the Holocaust Industry is a deliberate miscarriage of genuine history that ought to be seen as an integral part of the Cold War and one of the major first attempts to falsify WW2 history.”

Question: Is this “Plan” now the template for depopulating/starving ‘The West’ … including the USA? /phoenix
The Plan is now cloaked in woke rhetoric heavy on fear porn and global kumbaya. They really use their well honed psychological tricks
The new Nazis
Right?! and the pictures prove it. When the NYT rag acknowledges it..it’s real
( wearing nazi insignia on their uniforms)
Yes that is a abomination
Same as the old Nazis.
To which they’ll reply, “these are NA ZI NAZIs you are looking for”… 😀
But they are the ones we found.

Gets kicked out a high priced sex club for being a “scumbag” but state dinner is okay. Says a lot about our country. (btw there’s a story out there that Hunter claimed his sex club fees on his taxes)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/06/23/pictures-hunter-biden-attends-lavish-state-dinner-in-first-public-appearance-since-sweetheart-plea-deal/
oh.. found that story.
Hunter Biden Deducted Payments to Prostitute, Sex Club From His Taxes: Whistleblower
Not to downplay hunter’s scumbaginess ( which is legendary) but our country has willfully ignored Joe’s well documented perversion, a lot of it right out in open. He’s a compulsive molester
I always wonder about Jill, or any close person in such a situation. Does she know the depths of the depravity, or is she in complete denial, or something in between? I know the official narrative, that their family is just close and relates like that (kissing on the mouth). Does Jill chalk up the sniffing of children as “Joe just loves kids”? Or does she know he’s actually a pervert?
She has to know about the incident of Joe parading nude around a female Secret Service agent. She has to know about the shower with his granddaughter. She has to know about all of Hunter’s exploits and abuses. I’d like to know what goes on in her mind. I tend to think she makes excuses for it all and is somewhat in denial. An alternative would be that she’s a card-carrying child abusing pervert herself, but I’ve never seen anything to point to that.
In 2020 (and before), there were tweets and articles floating about which raised the possibility (probability) of her being involved in Bye,Done’s first wife’s untimely demise…
Curtains indeed if that’s true… from window treatments to widow treatment…
It seems like a lot of women look the other way but it usually reads like that’s mainly because of economic reasons. They don’t have the skills to support themselves and children or they grew up in an abusive family so they accept it ??
Jill might be one of those people that would never regret hitching her star to the mighty FJB…career democrat, destined for the WH. So a bit of touchy feely, lap tickles and panty sniffing and whatever else…a small price to pay ?
All i know is that my bet is on her stepson Hunter being a sexual scumbag since puberty..so ALL bets are off on why she would put up with his perversion too
Guess I better add that my comment above is based on old school thinking…back when the majority of people would still think sexually abusing children wasn’t okay…………but honestly, I don’t know if that’s antiquated. Maybe now tons of women don’t care
Jill is NOT Hunter’s mother.
Is that for me ? I said stepson, not son. The brothers were still young when she married FJB
My home state’s greatest embarrassment, Ms Lindsey, is against Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons (https://t.me/intelslava/49116), but I’m sure he would have supported Kissinger’s order to some of his aides in 1972 to produce a plan for using tactical nuclear weapons in South Vietnam, in case they were needed to end the war on American terms. Note: South Carolinians do not support Ms. Lindsey, in fact many believe the senator was (s)elected by the Uniparty in 2020. same as Resident of the Oval Office. I apologize for failing to state that more often, The local GOP has censured him, more than once, I am sure…

Sy Hersh reveals this action by Kissinger in his recent article: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/my-fifty-years-with-dan-ellsberg
Note: This one is NOT behind a paywall … from the article:
———————————————–
“… There were two White House abuses he wanted me to expose before the presidential election in the fall of 1972. Dan told me that Nixon and Kissinger—for whom Dan had written an important early policy paper after he was appointed national security adviser—had been wiretapping aides and cabinet members. The second tip Dan had for me was that Kissinger had ordered some of his aides to produce a plan for using tactical nuclear weapons in South Vietnam, in case they were needed to end the war on American terms. If I could get one or two sources—by this time there were a number of former Kissinger aides who had quietly resigned over the Vietnam War—on the record, Dan said, it just might get the Democrats into office. It was the longest of long shots, but I tried like hell all summer to find someone who had firsthand information, as Dan did not, and who was willing to confirm Dan’s information, even if on background. Of course, it was understood I would have to tell Abe Rosenthal, executive editor of the Times, who my off-the-record source was.
It was a lousy summer for me, because there were a few former Kissinger aides who easily confirmed Dan’s information, but would not agree to my providing their names to the Times. In one case, with a very decent guy who very much hoped he would get a senior job in a future administration, I came close, aided by the fact that his wife—I always conducted such visits at night—said to her husband, “Oh, for God’s sakes just tell him the truth.” She said it over and over. Talk about a painful experience. Needless to say, their marriage did not last long. The wife’s anger that the truth was not being told helped me understand Dan’s obsession with a war whose worst elements were simply not known to the public. I wasn’t able to get any source on the record in time for the election, but in subsequent years I did get the stories.”

The entire article is well worth a read, imo. /phoenix
Ms Lindsey hadn’t changed his true self but did fool a lot of us into thinking that once Svengali McStain was gone he was changed. Nope! Still the warmonger lapdog, the swishy bendy gumby. He’s shameful to the great State of South Carolina

Duchess, I hope you can see this message. I want to thank you most profoundly.
You were a solid and wise source of comfort and strength to me as I was navigating a series of terribly stressful things in my life, things that made me literally ill in body, mind, and spirit.
I treasure a poem that you wrote and posted at Marica’s blog for me to read. I continue to follow the advice in that poem.
By your leave, I added a couple of items to the list in your poem. I recite these every day:
“Breathe Low and Slow”
Be busy and Present
Diet
Exercise
Prayer and Thought Control
Please be well. Sending much Good Energy to you.

… “We also discuss the myth that there are “17 intelligence agencies” in the United States. What the average person, American or foreign, fails to grasp is that there are only 7 actual collectors of raw intelligence — i.e., the CIA, the NSA, the DIA, the Department of State, the FBI, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). I include the State Department because the cable traffic sent from U.S. embassies is a form of human intelligence. I also include the FBI on the list because they do some intelligence collection, but most of the information they assemble cannot be disseminated because it is used to build criminal cases. The other ten agencies are consumers of the products produced by the 7 listed above.”

Question:
Is anybody else having real issues today with Firefox? —
SLOW website / page loading, feels like the bad old days of “dial-up”;
Some web pages “revert back” to much older formats, looks like “fallback” formats.
Have refreshed pages, deleted cookies, checked the WiFi connection, etc., but the above persist.
same here.
but we have satellite internet so i usually attribute any slowness to that
Mine is working fine, RDS. Have you tried closing down Firefox, then opening it again?
Firefox always got squirelly for me every time they updated the program. You might want to manually update, then close and reopen.
Not using Fire Fox but the other day my web browser just stopped completely for several hours. First time ever. Never went to investigate the reason for it. Could be people behind the curtain testing out what they can shut down and not shut down as part of a larger web outage when they call for it?
Switched to Brave, prolly a year ago, as my Firefox continually went stoopid.
IIRC, Wolf and others suggested Brave.
Brave has done well for me.
Everyone should have a couple of available browsers and know when to prefer each one.
I’m not a big fan of javascript, but when I have to run it I prefer using Brave — since the head dude of Brave invented the language and (presumably) knows it pretty well.
Me too!!!
Thank you all so much!
Tried closing down Firefox.
Tried shutting down the computer and restarting.
Same stuff is going on.
I think the idea of having another browser is a good one. Brave sounds good.
In the meantime, one is having memories of the old “2400 baud” days…
Oh, ain’t you the swell?!? We only had 300 baud and had to share it!
“Seversk direction
the situation as of 17.00 on June 23, 2023
Units of the airborne troops of Russia continue to sweep Ukrainian positions in the Serebryansk forestry. The fighting is going on for every meter, as Ukrainian gunners and mortars are firing heavily at the soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
To the south, the assault on the Belogorovsky fortified area continues. Today, Russian servicemen have completely cleaned up the territory of the Popasnyansky district water utility, improving the tactical situation.
However, the paratroopers of the 81st airmobile brigade of the DSHV of Ukraine, with the support of mercenary detachments, dig in at the Chalk Quarry. Opposite the industrial zone, where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are entrenched, Ukrainian formations are preparing firing positions on the hill.
The assault on this stronghold is complicated by its location at altitude, and without control over it, advancing in Belogorovka is impractical due to possible unjustified losses.
Theoretically, with success in the forest plantations to the north and the advance of Russian troops to the Seversky Donets River, the Russian Armed Forces will be able to cut off the supply of the Ukrainian group in Belogorovka through Grigorovka, which will complicate the defense of the settlement for the AFU.
In the area of the Torsky salient, during the positional offensive, the AFU formations have suffered heavy losses over the past few days. According to the interception of negotiations of members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the number of killed exceeded 200 people and 15 strongholds came under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the forces of the 1st battalion of the 42 mechanized brigade were transferred to the south of the district town and Yampol to strengthen the advanced positions, which may be due to the successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the area.”
https://t.me/boris_rozhin/89972
“The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation commented on Prigozhin ‘s statements:
“All the messages and video footage distributed on social networks on behalf of Yevgeny Prigozhin about the alleged “strike by the Russian Defense Ministry against the “rear camps” of the Wagner PMCs do not correspond to reality and are an information provocation. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to carry out combat missions on the Line of contact in the zone of its”(c)”
https://t.me/boris_rozhin/89997
*****************************
Don’t know if this is connected with the above, I looked up CIPSO it appears to be some kind of technical jargon, didn’t understand it…
“Taking advantage of the public conflict, CIPSO is now actively throwing in various fakes in the context of the current situation. The goal is clear – against the background of the failure of the offensive, to profit as much as possible from this conflict. Be careful and focus on official statements from verified government resources.”
https://t.me/boris_rozhin/89999
US/UK IC, trying to sow discord among Russian troops and Wagner PMCs?
I suspect that this is a two-sided disinformation war.
American and British IC stirred something up, and Russia is playing along.
I smell kayfabe of some sort.
Completely agree.
As we saw last week, easy to post pics of military equipment in cities.
Lotsa psyops, by both sides.
Difficult to believe Russia military fired on Wagner, intentionally. Accidental, possible.
Easy to see US/UK psyops in play.
“According to the situation at 23-00.”
“1. To Prigozhin’s accusations of firing at the Wagner PMCs camp and threats to change the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the NAC stated that all this was an informational provocation.
2. Upon Prigozhin’s statements, the FSB opened a criminal case.
3. Putin is aware of the current situation. Some measures are being taken.
4. The NAC demands that any illegal actions be stopped immediately.
5. No facts of the movement of the Wagner columns or any collisions are presented.
6. CIPSO throws in a huge number of fakes and misinformation.
7. As reported by “Rybar”, all of Prigozhin’s published messages were recorded at 19-25 and are published in deferred posts.
8. Active fighting continues at the front in different directions. The VKS of the Russian Federation strikes the Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
We continue to monitor the development of events. What is the main thing.
1. Remember that our main enemy is on the other side of the front line.
2. Armed conflict within the country in the current conditions is evil.
3. The current situation is obviously intolerable – the country’s leadership should take the necessary measures to resolve it in the interests of ensuring the necessary internal stability, without which its goals are unlikely to be achievable.”

In some of the earlier comments there was a link to an audio recording.
Didn’t bother clicking it as I wouldn’t have understood the language or recognized the voice anyway.
Wonder if it is someone impersonating Prigozhin’s voice, similar as the guy who can do PDJT’s voice, or someone playing with AI.
hasn’t listened either, but here’s a link. Says it’s transcribed.
Okay, someone has full transcription here.
Concerning the Prigozhin rebellion flap, I’d suspect some sort of Sun Tzu style ruse is going on where an attempt is being made to look weak to bait Ukraine to intensify attacks, but I’d be better able to comment on such in a week or so 😁
I’d go so far as to say this is being aimed at those in the highest decision centers like WA DC to give them the vision of what they want to see and not what is true. Later they’ll get slapped with the truth after they pressure Ukraine to double down on the attack.
That is one ugly face.
No guess as to how accurate any of this is.
Perhaps. Psyops.
US IC, tools in Ukraine, gonna get sucker punched?
Three scenarios.
1- Prigozhin Is serious, gone rogue.
2- Play acting, professional wresting style.
3- Slimy IC trying to knock a wedge in, front runners would be UK&US.
If it was 1, Putin and those close around him would know. Prigozhin has been in a lot of the battle areas, that’s the best place to knock someone off even if they are surrounded by their own heavies, but he’s still alive, that leaves 2&3.
#2 is a possibility but it seems a bit hackneyed to me, my bet is on 3.
Same here.
Playing catch up here. Reading newest to oldest post.
This who scenario smells. Not what is presented.
I think it’s all of the above.
Western IC was caught sowing discord, but not alerted to the fact that they were caught.
Prigozhin is playing the heavy with style, creating a rift that looks very real to the West.
Now Russia is full on with the kayfabe. It will look real as hell that there is weakness on the Russian side.
Out of this comes something. The question is who attacks who first.
FOG OF WAR IS GETTING THICK.
Somebody invades somebody soon.
Zelensky gets axed, and Western Ukraine becomes Prigozhinstan.
That will make for one heck of a buffer… 😆
New Australia
Could they possibly maybe invade north Germany and take away the Greens, Pantyfa, “Extinction Rebellion”, Fridays for the failure, St. Greta of GangGreen, and all the rest?????
Andrei posted this a bit ago:
—————————————-
Well, Now It Could Be Stated Openly…
… that Prigozhin is not only a criminal, but, highly likely, the asset of Ukie-NATO axis. A lot of things point out to that, including “rumors” (in reality, reliable information) of Prigozhin and some Wagner people providing information on positions of Russian Army to VSU. Per Wagner: I am on record–they are good storm group but as a serious force they are nothing without Russian Armed Forces. The media BS about them, as well as grossly exaggerated stories about Bakhmut have been designed primarily for the consumption of fanboys who masturbate on tactical minutiae. Me and my friends discussed it for months in the media e.g. PolitWera et al. So, this is over for Prigozhin and, eventually, for Wagner. As FSB reports:
Translation: MOSCOW, 24 June. /TASS/. The statements and actions of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner PMC, are in fact calls for the start of an armed civil conflict, the Russian FSB public relations center said on Saturday. “Prigozhin’s statements and actions are in fact calls for the start of an armed civil conflict on the territory of the Russian Federation and are a stab in the back of Russian servicemen fighting pro-fascist Ukrainian forces,” they said. The department also noted that the widespread statements about the strikes of the Russian Defense Ministry on PMC “Wagner” are not true and are a provocation. “All the information disseminated on social networks on behalf of Prigozhin about the missile and bomb attacks allegedly inflicted by the Russian Defense Ministry on the rear units of the Wagner PMC is untrue and is an informational provocation,” the FSB public relations center said.
And now, ask yourself a question WHY Prigozhin was promoted and elevated almost to the status of Napoleon both by Russian and Western media? And you will find many answers to many questions. He should hang together with his accomplices, but most likely will get 20 years, if not killed before. He is a cook and not of Steven Seagal’s variety from Under Siege.

Aubergine is there a good way to reach you? I need a favor that I think needs your research skills. I can send a message through Truth Social for example.
She’s on Gab chat – the account is @ frznpch
https://gab.com/frznpch
Just hit the chat button, leave a message, and let her know by replying to one of her comments here.
She’s also on Twitter, but Twitter DMs are viewable by the DNC via FBI and DHS.
Well, apparently I’m locked out of Gab Chat. It wants me to regenerate security keys, but when I put in the password, it just goes to the same screen again. I don’t get it.
Thanks I’ll send the message later – the kids and the cousins need me to take them swimming . . . hopefully give you some time to sort it out
Appreciate your help
No worries! I hope Wolf can help me figure out the Gab Chat program. He has before.
Click on the speech bubbles next to the “following” button on Michael’s Gab homepage.
https://gab.com/mhtx76
This is the lower-security chat.
We can try to get the high-security chat working, too.
Oh, ok. Got it.
Let me know on some comment when I should go look! I went to the regular chat button on Gab that Wolf recommended and sent you a hello.
Don’t use that one – use the one on the Gab homepage.
What Wolf said, below. Let me know and I will go read there.
Yes, go ahead and use the low-security “easy” chat that starts on every Gab social user’s homepage. Those chats are then found under “Chats” on the main Gab page when you log in.
For the high security chat, it tells me that you regenerated your keys, which is fine. All messages are gone after a month. You can regenerate your keys any time, and what that does is destroys all your old chat messages – a great way to delete everything whenever you want.
If you are having trouble, try turning off shields on the Gab chat page, and see if that helps you get a normal login when you regenerate your keys.
Thanks! I sent a short message to michael on the regular chat.
Got it, sent you a reply chain – thanks again!
Going to read now.
Or, since I am having troubles with Gab Chat, DM me at Twitter if it is not a security issue.
Well, that’s one less stress — I’ve renewed by NC CPA license. I was concerned that I might not have enough CPE, but I actually maxed it.
Congrats!!!
I should know better by now, but I keep getting surprised at how simple and straightforward it is, compared to the pain-in-the-tuchis that California does to you.
Does ca make you go online page after page then manually enter your ceus? Then another multipage expolit to pay?
California requires 80 hours every two years, and renews based on your birthday. If you were born in July 1971, you would renew in July of odd-numbered years; if you were born in September 1978, you would renew in September of even-numbered years.
Of that 80 hours, a certain amount has to be in each of the two years, and a certain amount of that has to be a certain type of CPE (technical). Every renewal you must do California ethics, and every three renewals, you need to do a special double-length California ethics. If you’re going to opine on financial statements (the only thing that can only be done by CPAs and nobody else), you need a certain amount of accounting and auditing; if you’re going to do governmental accounting, you need a certain amount of governmental accounting…..
I generally build a spreadsheet with all the CPE in rows and all the requirements in columns.
And, yes, they just went to an online format the last time I renewed, which I hated.
To top it off, CA CPA renewals are expensive.
Wow! That is very much a bunch of hoop jumping. You need a spreadsheet just to keep track of it all.
I just checked…$280 every 2 yrs is a lot, considering the other stuff. The state charges too much for everything!
Yep, the weird complications and off-kilter “years” make things complicated.
NC requires 40 hours every year, but you can carry-over up to 20 excess hours from year to year. You need one 1-hour ethics each renewal. And it’s $60.
Unfortunately, CA is my state of initial licensure.
Sucks but i understand.
Pro Tip.OK, smart ass tip.
Allow CA CPA license to lapse. 
I was just talking to a guy who was thinking of abandoning his New York CPA. Thing is, once you’re “in”, it is easier to collect new certifications based on your original. If I wanted to get a Virginia CPA, for instance, it would be much easier to get it based on my CA CPA than my NC CPA — even though both are current and active.
You need to start thinking about concealed carry licenses, too! Same thing – get one to get another!
NV resident now. CA before.
UT and FL, non resident.
UT easy peasy. Cheap. FL slightly more steps and costly.
Worth It.
Have heard AZ is equally easy. Dunno.
Yes, but starting in a County in California that just bumped its Sheriff for selling CC licenses to tech billionaires is probably not the best place to start.
Santa Clara County is NOT going to issue you a CC permit. We both know that.
IMO, non resident, well worth your time, little hassle and minimal expense.
Non resident UT AND FL worth pursuing, IMO. I hold both.
I was thinking that once you get to NC you could start, but if you can do something else now, might not be a bad idea!
Probably Multiple aspects of a “normal” life will be simplified if you Ever get your booty out of commie CA 🙂
I certainly hope so, as that’s the main driver in my move.
All in God’s time…but Hurry Up! Get out while you still can 🙂
👍 congrats.
good for you!
Congratulations cthulu……..
Thx to all for the congrats. It’s just another thing with a hard deadline — and, like I said, I stiffen-up as if it were going to be as bad as California — and, once it starts to get done, I’m always amazed at how easy it was.
You are too modest, or maybe I’m biased. I always thought the worst was having to endure the brutal boredom in order to get the CE hours. It was brutal having to reach the quota so I personally think that achieving the quota is in itself, deserving of congratulations. :0)
You do bring up an interesting point. Frankly, I should be writing CPE courses instead of taking them — I’ve been doing this for four decades now. I regularly send corrections in to my CPE provider.
Further, a lot of accounting education starts from a “this is this, because it is this” outlook. This strikes me as a great way for having pupils lose consciousness during class sessions. I would prefer to teach from a “what are we trying to accomplish here?” outlook, and show how various methods have been tried and failed (in gory detail), and show how current practice is the best attempt to get from A to B (except when it’s not).
Finally, I have been doing nearly 100% self-paced self-study CPE, which allows me to do an hour when I have to wait for laundry to dry or something similar. I can also do pieces of a few courses on the same day, so I don’t just scream from repetition. Trying to do each course straight-through in a linear fashion would probably hurt my brain.
That sounds like a good drink, esp today DP.
Just when one thinks that things couldn’t get more stupid or desperate for “certain entities”, now there’s this —
The Helter Skelter Progs are just being diabolical.
May the Devil take them all…
I think they are just desperate and flailing, honestly.
Andrew Breitbart famously said that “politics is downstream from culture.” That is a quote for the ages.
And they are losing the culture war, badly. Bud Light, Target, Starbucks. The tranny debacle with the L.A. Dodgers. The kids fighting back in schools against the “rainbow mafia.” Fed-up parents protesting at school board meetings. Churches are rising up; Saddleback Church, the monster in California, just got KICKED OUT of the Southern Baptist Convention for allowing women to pastor, despite the fact that the church has the big bucks (the love of which is the root of all evil, and the Baptists resisted). Most churches here would kick a gay couple out the door, if they had the nerve to show up, much less a tranny. If you want to put on an outfit appropriate to your gender and REPENT, or give up your pervert lifestyle, maybe some would have you, but not all.
Those are just off the top of my head! I could find more examples. People have HAD IT. And there are way more of us than there are of them, they only hold on to power (and their heads) because we consent, and they KNOW IT.
They are persecuting Trump in a doomed-to-fail attempt to prevent us from electing their DOOM. Because Trump will take office, and on day one start to rain FIRE over their ass. Trump has flaws, but he learns. And he now knows that he can’t trust ANYONE in D.C.
P.S.
There are WAY too many people like me, wishing we could become Amish. We can’t take the people to the Amish, so we are going to bring the Amish to the people. Can I hear a hallelujah, and get an amen?!
Hallelujah AND Amen.

“According to the situation at 2-30.
1. So far there are no photos or videos with columns of PMCs in the Rostov region.
2. There are no photos or videos from the Wagner PMCs in Rostov yet.
3. State authorities continue to accuse Prigozhin of attempted rebellion.
4. Prigozhin continues to accuse Shoigu and Gerasimov of attacking the Wagner PMCs camp.
5. Missile arrivals in Ukraine. There is an air alert all over Ukraine.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 “The Russian Defense Ministry announced the preparation of Ukrainian formations for an offensive in the Bakhmut direction.
A fair question arises to this message: there have been no CHEKA detachments in Bakhmut for a long time, the Defense Ministry has consistently reported repulsed attacks, the front has stabilized. Our sources from the field report regular rolls from the APU from Kleshchevka to Berezovka and further to Soledar. Sometimes there are several rolls per day on one site — it’s all already become a turnover.
But Prigozhin made a speech, announced the march of justice, stirred up the entire world military-political Internet…and Ukrainians began to focus.
It seems that the 35 and 36 brigades are planning attacks based on voice messages in the Russian Telegram. If this is true, then this clearly indicates a deep level of tactical and strategic planning in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Things were stirred up mostly by usual suspects … the 5th column … journalists, Russian Journalists … journalists are now trash the world over. Those ‘pretend’ ones at T’gram … they are the worse of the lot. (end of rant)
🇷🇺 💀 “An appeal of the First Deputy head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Vladimir Stepanovich Alekseev, appeared on the Web. The very fact of such an appeal from one of the prominent figures of modern conflicts of the last decade…
🇷🇺 💀 And here is the statement of Army General Sergei Surovikin to the Wagner PMCs. Prigozhin called Surovikin one of the few worthy generals in the Ministry of Defense, with whom he started the “Bakhmut meat grinder” together. Surovikin speaks heavily, as if pondering over every phrase and word.
Together with the statement of Lieutenant-General Alekseev, such publications resemble attempts to appeal to Prigozhin through persons with whom he has established contact.”

Another shiny object?
The Feds version.
Nuff said.
I doubt the veracity of the tweet … account is Eastern and Central Europe …
Perhaps. We should at least gather whats out there to be able to evaluate anyway.
Interesting, is an understatement.
IF true. Difficult to believe. Suicide tasking by Wagner. Definitely out of the box thinking.
As I understand it,.
With the above in mind,
Did US/UK/EU IC, shower cash, better yet gold, IF Wagner turned on Russia.
IF so. Wagner becomes the enemy WITHIN The Russian lines.
That i could believe the 🇺🇸 under this admin doing. However are their loyalties to their country or 💰?
Wagner (Russians) launched a military coup, against Russia.
Zero chance of success. A military coup, that is. Stoopid on its own
Pumped up by whom(cee aye aye) and plied w 💸? They say if the lose russians die. If they win russians die and are beholden.
Will be interesting to read / hear Macgregor and Larry’s take on Wagner.
Prolly lots for them to sort out.
Ran across a couple more Hunter B threats…what a cocky insufferable asshat.
What’s coming out now is going to destroy DOJ. Just watch.
From you lips to God’s ears Wolf…
True “destroy” means actually destroy..
Not just make us even madder at DOJ.
apparently the street sweeper isn’t aware that the shooting is about to commence…
When the hammer comes down, Putin’s hammer, gonna be Ugly AND Bloody.
At this point, the CIA couldn’t convince anyone on the planet that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
On the flip side, plenty of folks are willing to take their money.
That OSIN account has a lot of videos. I don’t have enough war savvy to make sense of it
