JOHN 5:1-16

1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za’tha, which has five porticoes. 3In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed. 5One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” 9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath. 10So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” 11But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.'” 12They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk’?” 13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.” 15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

To be sure PDT is making deals with a handful of RINOs he can control where there are no better choices in place. We are in an endurance race, not a sprint. It takes time to “grow your own” into roles of leadership.

But the support staffing can and should changed out immediately. They are the swamp critters that cause most of the problems making it hard to hold the overall org accountable. The internal leaks and undermining has to be blown up.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yes.

I basically figure there are four sorts of “professional” Republicans. By that I mean activists, office holders, people holding positions in the party.

1) True blue, and steady — These are no problem.
2) Started out True Blue but eventually lost the fire in the belly and are going with the flow now. — With the right person the fire can be reignited and an apparent RINO turns out to blossom
3) Controllable RINO — They’d rather be RINO but not at the expense of losing their position.
4) Absolute conniving shitweasel dickhead RINOs. I may have said a few things about them in the past, so I’ll just stop here.

Indeed. The laws of thermodynamics can not be repealed, and the third one which can be paraphrased as «Everything put together sooner or later falls apart»* in particular, serves as «the drag». Then add one or more incompetent or sub-competent «queens» to this, and things will happen. Or fail to happen, which can be a mite concerning at 35000 feet above ground.

If it was happening at all airlines, people would certainly be posting about it on Tweeter and Facecrook.

I wonder if any of the new A.I. models access either or both on an ongoing basis?

Imagine asking A.I. “Arya, how many tweets or FB posts about alarming incidents in air travel are there today?

How does that compare week over week, month over month and year over year?

If you can cross-reference the timing of incidents to eliminate duplicates, and identify which incidents are associated with which airline, what is the breakdown on the number of incidents for each airline, over the past week, past month and past year?

Seems like this is the kind of thing A.I. could be extremely useful for, if it has access to the raw data.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

The trouble now is that some AIs will give false stats in these cases. People end up having to double-check the AIs, which ruins the utility.

Moar Boeing Stuff…

. . . The DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation Into Boeing This is for Boeing not cooperating in investigation when Boeing lost the door.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into Boeing. This is just a little over two months after a door plug blew off an Alaskan Airlines 737 mid-flight.

Both the Justice Department and Boeing are declining to comment on the investigation. A Spirit AeroSystems spokesperson said Spirit is cooperating with any and all investigations but did not comment further. 

Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board is conducting its own probe into the company. The chair of the board said getting Boeing to hand over the information needed has been frustrating.

A zillion sites out there that talk about gold…and then want you to buy from them, likely at ridiculously inflated prices.

Coin dealers go with Kitco or Apmex (and probably favor kitco). If you’re looking to buy, go there first.

And stay the hell off of Costco, Sams, Ebay and Amazon.

Gail Combs

Gold is the ‘Go To’ when times are uncertain and people lose faith in their government.

Aubergine

I personally think the “buy gold” pitch to the average guy is crap.

I don’t mean the people with 100s of thousands in savings to hold. I mean the lady I know making 35K a year, who is buying gold to use when “the economy collapses.”

I ask her, how will you spend it? Do you think I’m going to take a flake of gold for a dozen of my hen’s eggs? Do you think the grocery store will accept it?

It’s a SCAM.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Amen.

Steve has been very clear about the need to have “old silver coinage” to fill that void – and even then there’s no guarantee that AMMO won’t be better coinage, frankly, as bartering heads back into prominence.

Aubergine

I think skills and material goods will be much more useful if it really goes to shit.

Being able to repair someone’s only decent pair of pants or sweater would be much more meaningful than devalued money, in my opinion. Or a haunch of elk from a good hunter.

Cigarettes and coffee are always good trade items too.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

This assumes that the desired item is available, or there is a need for work.

You can be the best truck mechanic in your county, but that won’t help you buy eggs from a chicken rancher whose truck is working. At that point, you need an exchange medium and a store of value, and silver (and gold) would serve that role when Federal Reserve Notes become devalued.

Last edited 8 months ago by SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA
SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

For spending purposes you’d probably want junk silver and even then you have to wait for a time when people are savvy to the fact that that silver dime is actually worth more than a regular dime. And even then it’d be part of the less formal economy; you can’t put it in the bank.

Please

I think where gold comes into play is a hedge against market unrest. When collapses happen, and economies tank, gold traditionally goes up.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

That is its most common role in today’s system.

Will it ever be the underpinning for money ever again? Well, we keep hearing rumors…

cthulhu

One of these days, someone is going to find an asteroid with tons of gold, and completely blow up the concept of gold as a basis of money — similar to what happened in Europe when the Spaniards looted the New World.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yes. Honestly all it would take would be a 1 kilometer iron-nickel asteroid and gold plus the PGMs would be a lot more common.

But, and here’s the key thing, we’d have to either move a four-billion-tonne asteroid into LEO, OR be prepared to process a four billion tonnes of metal on site (which will likely involve melting it, or similar quantities of chemicals, which will take LOTS of energy), at which point we still have to ship a lot of stuff back. In other words I don’t think we’re close to being able to do it.

(Unless I slipped a decimal, a 500 meter radius satellite at 8 tonnes/cubic meter comes to about 4 billion tonnes.)

I suspect the PGMs would get hit harder than gold, simply because I think they had even more of a tendency to sink to the Earth’s core. That makes them look rarer to us than they are, relatively speaking.

(I’m trying to find out more about metallic meteorite composition (it ought to track well with iron nickel asteroids) and it appears gold might be at one part per million and iridium perhaps even higher (in our crust iridium is quite possibly the rarest stable element). So that 4 billion tonne asteroid might have 4,000 tonnes of gold in it.

However, that wouldn’t make too much of a bump in our current gold inventory which is about 150,000 tonnes (at least if all of those claims that all the gold ever mined would fit in a 20 meter cube are accurate). It would have a huge effect on the iridium and platinum inventories, though. Supposedly all of the platinum ever mined so far would fit in a living room.

Cuppa Covfefe

Gosh…

What would I EVER do with all those “Platinum Plus” razor blades I bought way back when 🙂

I still wonder about the moon (Europa? would be the first useful thing Europe ever did) that supposedly spews diamonds as a volcanic (by)product…

Just think what that would do to “Paul, at the diamond center”…

(and all of us who could get jewelry, etc., repaired for a reasonable price…. and the various Shure cartridges restored to their youthful vigor)(OK, I want some AR3 speakers and a Heathkit AR-15 amp or two…)…..

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Of course you’d probably also want a different sort of AR-15 as well.

I don’t recall reading about diamonds coming from a volcano, but it’s likely Io you are thinking about, on account of it being the Jovian moon with the volcanoes.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep, maybe…

AR-15 was tubes, AR-1500 was solid-state… tubes are warmer (OK, distortion, I know)…

Yep. Io it is…

___________

I admire your faith in humanity… I wish I had some 😂

But here’s what humans would do.

The people who are extremely wealthy in gold (e.g. central banks, sovereign wealth funds) are not going to allow anyone to make their gold worthless.

So everyone associated with the asteroid project will die suddenly, long before that asteroid is ever mined.

Or they will strike a deal to nudge that asteroid onto a path that leaves the galaxy, ensuring the gold (and therefore their wealth, and therefore their power) on earth is not devalued.

Or they will keep the asteroid a secret, mine it, and inflate the gold supply without the market knowing, (few things on earth are less transparent than the gold supply, and who has how much), and as fast as they can, exchange gold for whatever is still hard / scarce, before everyone finds out that the gold is now worth nothing.

Or they will just control the gold supply, so that even though gold was no longer scarce, it would become artificially scarce, as the De Beer family (and others) has done with diamonds.

Or something similar.

The people who have power and wealth aren’t going to give that up without enough war to end civilization.

What I’m getting at, is that there is no scenario under which TPTB are going to give up their power, just because some yahoo finds an asteroid full of gold.

They will either kill the yahoo, eliminate the new source, or take control of the new source, in order to preserve their position and power.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Absolutely correct.

They’ve already done this with artificial diamonds. The money paradigm was not allowed to be broken. They integrated artificial diamonds into the existing scam, THEN let them loose.

scott467

“The money paradigm was not allowed to be broken.”

_____________

This is why Bitcoin is a threat to the entire system, the whole reason it was created, in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis.

TPTB have tried to ban it, and discovered immediately that they couldn’t.

That had to be a real ‘wake-up’ moment, to the kind of people who are used to total power and control… makes me smile every time I think about it 😂

They don’t have the computing power to hack it.

It is decentralized, it exists on a permanent ledger in cyberspace. The ledger exists on thousands of ‘nodes’ all over the world, with more being added each day, so even if there was a nuclear war, lots of nodes would survive, and each node has a copy of the entire Bitcoin blockchain.

There is no CEO or board of directors to threaten, so TPTB can’t take it over by any conventional strong-arm tactics.

There is nobody to arrest, nobody to sanction, nobody to bribe, nobody to coerce. There is no individual or entity “in control of” Bitcoin.

The scarcity is real, unlike every other commodity that has ever existed. I think this may be the aspect that much of the general public doesn’t grasp, because with the exception of rare original artwork, people have never experienced something that is really and truly scarce or truly limited in quantity. No matter how high the price goes, they can’t ‘make’ any more than the program allows, and once the total limit is reached, the program shuts down mining forever.

At that point, you have a fixed supply, which goes down slightly with each passing day due to people losing their access codes. So the available supply actually becomes deflationary, once mining stops.

And unlike national coinage, there is no means to replace lost coins.

And the more Bitcoin that is lost, the better it is for everyone who has Bitcoin, because there is less of it, so what remains becomes more valuable.

It is a very elegant solution to the value problem humanity has always faced. The cycle repeats over and over throughout history, all government fiat goes to zero eventually, because gov’t is corrupt, gets fat and lazy, debases the fiat currency through inflating the supply (or depletes the precious metal content), the currency loses value, eventually the corrupt gov’t can’t afford to pay the military to protect them from the People, and then the poor People finally overthrow the gov’t, or a foreign adversary does it for them.

Then the new despot starts the cycle over again.

Bitcoin breaks the cycle.

It can’t be inflated.

It can’t be debased.

It can be lost, but that just makes the remaining Bitcoin more valuable.

It is infinitely divisible (practically), so no matter how much is lost, there will always be enough to go around, the value of each remaining fraction just goes up accordingly.

It is totally transparent. Anyone, anywhere, can easily check the total amount of Bitcoin in the world at any time. Unlike the Fed, which is never audited, there will never need to be an audit of Bitcoin, because the Ledger is public at all times.

No government controls it, so it can’t be used as a weapon in the way Brandon & Co. have tried to use the U.S. dollar as a weapon against Russia, leading to the BRICS movement to escape the dollar.

It has a true global market, open 24/7/365.

It is unregulated and unregulatable. Politicians can regulate the miners, but if the regulations are onerous, the miners relocate to a more friendly location, and the nation that caused them to move loses that entire industry, and all the jobs and innovation and technology development associated with it. Which is what chyna learned the hard way, causing them to reverse their ‘ban’, after all the miners moved away to enrich some other country instead of chyna.

Politicians can regulate exchanges and ETFs, but only those exchanges and ETFs which are within a particular government’s jurisdiction. Bitcoin is global.

Bitcoin can be used person to person without any intermediary. So if I know someone on the other side of the world (for example), or if I want to buy something from someone on the other side of the world, I can send that person Bitcoin, directly, like sending an email, without any third party payment processor between us, and the blockchain verifies the transaction on the Ledger.

No Paypal, no Venmo, no credit card, no bank involved. No one can stop it or interrupt it. It is freedom to contract and freedom to engage in commerce.

It becomes almost immediately apparent that the people who invented Bitcoin understood all of the many ways corrupt governments and corporate entities manipulate money to their own benefit, and systematically eliminated those means.

At its inception, it had the potential to be the most liberating invention in history.

It has been under constant attack for 15 years, and it has survived every attack.

When the ETFs were approved by the U.S., that gave the green light to every other nation on earth.

Bitcoin officially became the 11th asset class.

1) Equities (stocks)
2) Fixed income (bonds)
3) Cash and cash equivalents
4) Commodities
5) Real estate
6) Infrastructure
7) Private equity
8) Hedge funds
9) Art and collectibles
10) Insurance
11) Bitcoin

Bitcoin just passed the total market cap of Silver yesterday or the day before.

Over $20 billion has gone into the 9 new ETFs in the past 40 market days, so the inflows are averaging $500 million per day.

I think yesterday was the 2nd highest inflow so far.

At this point, it shows no signs of slowing down, and there are many reasons to expect that inflows to the Bitcoin ETFs will steadily increase.

When the Gold ETF was introduced, it went up for 8 years.

If I remember correctly from a chart in a recent video presentation, it took the Gold ETF three years to take in the same amount of funds as the Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed in just 40 trading days.

“I don’t mean the people with 100s of thousands in savings to hold. I mean the lady I know making 35K a year, who is buying gold to use when “the economy collapses.” ”

____________

Generally, if someone is buying less than an ounce at a time, they are paying a significant premium over spot price, which means the price has to go up a fair amount (in dollar terms) to break even, but then when you go to sell, the dealer may offer less than spot, so it has to go up even more.

At an ounce or higher, the premium may only be 2% or 3% (haven’t checked recently). But for half ounces, quarter ounces or those wafer thin ‘tabs’, the premium is much higher.

So basically, the people who can afford the least (but want some) get ripped off the most.

If the economy collapses though, dollars won’t be worth anything, so either gold will have to be priced in something else, or everything will be denominated in gold or silver.

scott467

“I ask her, how will you spend it?”

_____________

There will always be people who take gold or silver in an economic collapse, it’s fundamental to the exchange process.

Suppose you have eggs, and another person has maple syrup you want. If he wants your eggs, then great, you trade. But if the person with the maple syrup doesn’t need any eggs, you’re stuck.

Unless there is a medium of exchange you both agree to, and everybody agrees that gold and silver have value. So you sell your eggs (which the syrup guy doesn’t want) to someone for silver, which the syrup guy does want, because he can then use that stored value to buy something from someone else, who doesn’t want to trade for his maple syrup.

“Do you think I’m going to take a flake of gold for a dozen of my hen’s eggs? Do you think the grocery store will accept it?”

___________

You might not (or you might change your mind and accept it), but why wouldn’t the grocery store?

In an economic collapse, paper dollars effectively go to zero, like German marks in the early 1920s.

If the grocery store has sources to replenish store stock, they are going to need to use some medium of exchange to do so, which would likely be gold, silver or some kind of crypto (if electricity and/or cell service or Internet or satellite was working).

If the grocery store only has whatever stock was on their shelves before the collapse, fresh foods are a ‘use it or lose it’ proposition, so they take whatever they can get for it, and it would probably be gone quickly.

A commercial enterprise needs a medium of exchange, they can’t haggle eggs for syrup with every customer. It’s too cumbersome, and requires too much relative value knowledge between thousands of different products, in order to determine what is a fair deal.

If you live in a village of 50 people, and there are only a hundred or so items needed for subsistence, simple trade may work. For a commercial enterprise, they will need a medium of exchange.

Also, in Weimar Germany, if I remember correctly, for a period of time you could buy a nice 4 bedroom house in a suburb for 1 ounce of gold. Many people are aware of this, so if that scenario occurs again, there will be people looking to buy real property with gold.

Whoever sold that house in 1920s Germany didn’t need eggs, or syrup… they needed something that was durable, fungible, transportable and stored value that could be exchanged for something else in the future.

pgroup2

Very nicely stated.  🤗 

pgroup2

What do you think about a 4% markup on junk silver?

Please

4% would equal $1 markup on $25 market spot price. That is very good. The typical low price is about $3 over spot and most are $5-$8 over spot

pgroup2

ThanQ very much.

Please

To be better understood, ‘junk silver’ (old silver coinage <=1964 Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar, Silver Dollar) contains 90% pure silver. In addition, 5 dimes = 2 quarters = one half dollar = 0.3617 Troy Ounces (TOz) of pure silver. Circulated coins typically weigh a little less from wear, maybe 0.35 TOz.

There are several ways to figure actual silver value for a single coin, but I’m showing one.

Keeping it simple, with pure silver at $25/TOz, a circulated group of coins with a ‘Face Value” of $1.00 ( 10 dimes, 4 quarters, 2 halves, it doesn’t matter) will have ~ 0.70 TOz of pure silver X $25/TOz = $17.50.

Many dealers sell junk silver by face value. For example, they might offer $100 Face Value of Junk Silver for $2000. That would have an actual silver value of roughly $1750 at $25 silver. That should give you an idea of actual value and profit realized by sellers

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

What one should pay attention to is not so much, “how much over spot does it cost” but rather…”what’s the spread?” Sometimes the spot price doesn’t really correspond to the true market value of the actual metal.

In other words, don’t assume the dealer is paying spot price. He’s probably not. In some cases (though probably not with junk silver) he could be paying more.

To see how much a dealer makes, find out what he’s paying for the same item; he advertises that too since he has to buy it in order to have any to sell.

pgroup2

Again, you bring the real stuff. ThanQ.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Many of the same considerations apply. A hyping site should probably avoided; the same two companies I mentioned are go-tos for precious metals in general (not just gold). I’d avoid any place with expensive advertising (e.g., Parade Magazine if that still exists).

Thanks for today’s post. The springtime flowers certainly look the part, unlike the view outside here. The squirrels are active running around on the various elevated cables, and the hazel have grown catkins, but the weather is in one of those holding patterns when there is overcast, cold, and no wind.

Storm can wipe out internet. Perhaps, though fiber is impervious to solar activity, and if the Tx/Rx stations are hardened, the system will stay up. But with systematic weak points such as the interdependence of DNS and https, and the general decay of knowledge
and deferred maintenance could make the systems fall over to become useless, if a storm were to hit. Just look at the number of failures on aircraft over the last weeks. The third law of thermodynamics is not repealed.

I know of several kids that have gone through the first and second part of that series. Then they evolved further and found their way out of the teenage wasteland. The unfortunates are the ones who got stuck there and become material for memes and worse.

“(We wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to our parents’ music, but the current stuff is crappy enough that many people in that high school/college age demographic have abandoned it.)”

____________

That’s exactly why nearly everyone in my grade (and a couple ahead and a couple behind) did listen to our parents’ music.

Because in 1982, when MTV began, video killed the radio star, and murdered music right along with it.

Older people may not be aware, because it wasn’t as relevant to them at that point in their lives, but it was a shocking thing to people in my age group when it happened.

You just can’t flip a switch and go from Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Jimi, Janis, Bob, the Doors, CSN&Y, Zeppelin, etc., to Men Without Hats, Flock of Seagulls, Wham! and Boy George.

It’s just not happening. There’s no way to make that transition.

That’s a HARD pass 😂

So the only thing we could do was go backward, back to the classics, and fortunately there is a huge back catalog of music worth exploring from the 50s, 60s and 70s that has easily stood the test of time to this day, and will continue doing so.

I don’t think MTV caused the problem.

Music sales and the like were already declining before MTV showed up; MTV boosted sales because of the new medium.

Which indicates to me that the rot was already underway when MTV began, it was not caused by MTV. MTV simply allowed it to continue.

Mike Johnson wants $60 Billion LOAN to Ukraine…
‘House Speaker Mike Johnson and the chairmen of multiple committees dealing with national security are working on their own bill that would treat some aid to Kiev as a long-term loan.’ — A Anglin
The first question a responsible lender asks is, what is the credit rating of the borrower?
S&P Global offers an answer:
‘We expect the Ukrainian government to begin formal discussions on debt restructuring with its private creditors in the short term and complete the process by the middle of this year.
‘We consider it a virtual certainty that Ukraine will default on its external commercial obligations.
‘As a result, we lowered our long-term foreign-currency rating on Ukraine to ‘CC’ from ‘CCC’.’
https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/-/view/type/HTML/id/3136282
Only fools — and Congress Clowns wasting OPM (Other People’s Money) — would shower $60 billion on the deadbeat Ukies.
Mike Johnson and the RINOS should be obliged to sign on as a personal guarantor, so that he will be ruined along with US taxpayers when the Ukies upend their empty pockets.

Ukraito is putting on a publicity event, maybe to coincide with their begging bowl attempt.
Since Sunday they’ve been attacking in the Belgorod region.
*********************

“At night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out an attack on Russian targets using 25 UAVs was stopped – Russian Ministry of Defense

In particular, two of them were destroyed over the Moscow region, one each over Leningrad, Bryansk and Tula, two more over Oryol, seven over Belgorod and eleven over Kursk.

*********************
“Apparently, the Kiev regime decided to repeat last year’s action with an entry into the territory of the Belgorod region according to the same scheme using troops from the “RDK”: early in the morning, Ukrainian formations went on the attack in one of the areas.

On Sunday, Russian troops already thwarted the first attempt, actively striking the Ukrainian Armed Forces as they formed battle formations, destroying several units of armored vehicles and artillery. However, even this did not become a reason for them to abandon their next PR outing.

At the same time, enemy resources are distributing a video of allegedly entering Russian villages: as colleagues have already written absolutely correctly, all these recordings are so far fake and pre-made “blanks.”

At the moment, Ukrainian formations have concentrated two infantry battalions and armored vehicles, including tanks, in the area: Russian troops are monitoring enemy activity and are actively working on identified targets.”

From DPat: We’ve seen this movie before
There are two good comments:
gordonwysong

👉Biden needs the terrorist supporters in the US to support him, too. Any action he can take, regardless of cost in money or lives is on the table.

The word is out that Biden has to win Michiganstan in November — without pi**ing off the Jews too much. Thus a “humanitarian” resupply of the enemy.

This high wire act is a being performed by patriotic Americans for a non-patriotic President, and if they fall Americans may finally understand the distain that Democrats have for the lives of their fellow citizens.

And a response by Anna Stark

BINGO! The MRE food drops were done to appease the block of Gaza supporting Muslim voters in Michigan and Minnesota.

Of course, the cease fire protestors (vile as they are) rightly point out that the US government still supplies Israel with the weapons, which are being used to decimate Hamas.

I find comments most interesting because they often say the hidden TRUTH out loud. Stuff the Urinalists are NOT ALLOWED TO SAY. Also they are a measure of how much ‘normies’ have figured out.

Remember I got banned from commenting on Brietbart and American Stinker about a decade ago so commenters are more representative of normies and not us ‘Cultural Heretics’

March 2018 — Look at the Crime Rate in This US Town Where Guns Are Required by Law

…while it’s difficult to prove a causal relationship between the law and crime in the town, Kennesaw, which boasts a population of 33,000 people, has a violent crime rate of less than 2 percent and has only had one murder in the last six years.

“We can’t say that just that gun law contributes x number of percent to why we have a low crime rate. It may be part of it, but it needs to be looked at from a whole picture…

Mississippi SOS suspects maggot’s EO for registering individuals in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons is registering felons who under Mississippi law are NOT eligible to vote. Also illegals in the prison system who are NOT eligible to vote and transients who have no ties to Mississippi and are NOT eligible to vote in that state. they are creating more ghost ballots that will be harvested.

FTA

Watson wrote that Mississippi jails are
being prompted to “work with other reliable sources of voter information
to assist federal prisoners with voter registration, voting by mail,
and notification of upcoming elections.”
“We are unaware of any contact with our
Office, which begs the question, which organizations are the Marshals
using to accomplish this demand?” The letter asks.
“Many outside groups performing voter
registration and vote harvesting services are partisan entities with a
history of being unreliable.
“There have been documented instances of these groups providing incorrect directions to voters.
“It is not proper for the Federal government to push partisan groups into the voting process in Mississippi or any other state.”
The letter specifically addresses concerns
that illegal immigrants in the Mississippi prison system could
potentially be registered to vote through this executive order if the
program is not closely monitored.
“Our understanding is that everyone in the
Marshals’ custody is given a form advising them of their right to
register and vote,” the letter continues.

every state has different laws on whether or not convicts can vote. but they are not adhering to those laws–just handing out registrations to EVERYONE in custody. no one is checking if those registrations are legal in each state.

Societal Self-Regulation
THE DESTRUCTION TOOK OVER A CENTURY.
START WITH The Tavistock Institute IN THE UK

…When and where did all this culture manipulation start?

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, psychology as a medical field really took off. While the original intent of it may or may not have been to heal people’s minds, it quickly became apparent that psychological techniques could also be used to manipulate and control people…

As the story goes, the Tavistock Clinic was formed in 1920 in London, England to research and treat victims of shell shock that occurred during the first World War….

Through the research and treatment of trauma based mental disorders, psychiatrists discovered that trauma could be used to control people’s minds. Trauma could be used on micro and macro levels.

On a micro level, people could be brought into a clinical setting and exposed to trauma, drugs (LSD) and other psychological techniques, creating a mind-controlled person. The Tavistock program led to the CIA’s MK Ultra program…

On a macro level, it was discovered trauma could be used effectively on the masses as well, constantly pushing fear on the general public through the media, with periodic traumatic events leading to a population that is mind controlled through fear…

Late 1800s ??? Enter John D Rockefeller and his buddies.

Dumbing Down America
by Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld

John Dewey [who was a Fabian – GC] got his education in the new psychology under G. Stanley Hall at John Hopkins University. In 1887, at the tender age of 28, Dewey felt that he knew enough about psychology to be able to write a textbook on the subject, entitled fittingly Psychology. In 1894, Dewey was appointed head of the department of philosophy, psychology and education at the University of Chicago which had been established two years earlier by a gift from John D. Rockefeller. In 1896, Dewey created his famous experimental Laboratory School where he could test the effects of the new psychology on real live children.

Dewey’s philosophy had evolved from Hegelian idealism to socialist materialism, and the purpose of the school was to show how education could be changed to produce little socialists and collectivists instead of little capitalists and individualists. It was expected that these little socialists, when they became voting adults, would dutifully change the American economic system into a socialist one.

In order to do so he analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found what he believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority. High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society….

Founding of the AMA

An 1845 resolution to the New York Medical Association by Dr. Nathan S. Davis, calling for a national medical convention, led to the establishment of the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1847. 

How Rockefeller’s Oil Industry Conquered Medicine, Finance And Agriculture

…. The Effective Strategy That Eliminated Natural Medicine

Naturopathic-based herbal medicine was the norm, and Rockefeller set out to shift the medical industry toward using oil-derived pharmaceuticals. To this end, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in 1901…

[QUOTE]

“The fortunes of Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller financed surgery, radiation and synthetic drugs. They were to become the economic foundations of the new medical economy… The oiligarchy birthed entire medical industries from their own research centers and then sold their own products from their own petrochemical companies as the ‘cure.’”\[UNQUOTE]

Also See:
The Rockefellers, The Flexner Report, The AMA, and their Effect on Alternative Nutritional (botanical) Medicine

Rockefeller was not content with controlling the minds of kids in school. He then went after Child Rearing practices:

And then the mothers. — Feminism was a creation of the Rockefellers:
How The Rockefellers Re-Engineered Women

Rockefeller Foundation Funded ‘Womens Lib’ For The Same Reason The CIA Funded ‘MS Magazine’

AND THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SYSTEM

History, HACCP and the Food Safety Con Job

…This transformation was the result of organized plans developed by a group of highly powerful ” though unelected “ financial and industrial executives who wanted to drastically change agricultural practices in the US to better serve their collective corporate financial agenda. This group, called the Committee for Economic Development, was officially established in 1942 as a sister organization to the Council on Foreign Relations….

Their plan was so effective and so faithfully executed by its operatives in the US government that by 1974 the CED couldn’t help but congratulate itself in another agricultural report called “A New US Farm Policy for Changing World Food Needs” for the efficiency of the tactics they employed to drive farmers from their land.

The human cost of CED’s plans were exacting and enormous.

CED’s plans resulted in widespread social upheaval throughout rural America, ripping apart the fabric of its society destroying its local economies. They also resulted in a massive migration to larger cities….

The final nail was the destruction of US churches as a political force for the people.

501c3 FACTS

Most churches in America have organized as “501c3 tax-exempt religious organizations.” This is a fairly recent trend that has only been going on for about fifty years. Churches were only added to section 501c3 of the tax code in 1954. We can thank Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson for that. Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping “public policy.”

Although Johnson proffered this as a “favor” to churches, the favor also came with strings attached (more like shackles). One need not look far to see the devastating effects 501c3 acceptance has had to the church, and the consequent restrictions placed upon any 501c3 church. 501c3 churches are prohibited from addressing, in any tangible way, the vital issues of the day.

For a 501c3 church to openly speak out, or organize in opposition to, anything that the government declares “legal,” even if it is immoral (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), that church will jeopardize its tax exempt status. The 501c3 has had a “chilling effect” upon the free speech rights of the church. LBJ was a shrewd and cunning politician who seemed to well-appreciate how easily many of the clergy would sell out….

AND FINALLY:

Where Did this “New World Order” Coup Come From? The Rockefeller’s “Social Engineering Project”

TradeBait2

Excellent post again, Gail.

If one is truly interested in knowing the truth so one can take active steps to thwart the evil, one needs to understand the history and path to where we are today. Being oblivious or superficial with the truth makes one an easy target for manipulation and use by the enemy. Trusting the untrustable leads to destruction of ones self, loved ones, communities and nations.

I urge everyone to simply be a part of the solution and not the problem. Shed light on truth and live it wherever you are. It was the primary purpose of my BIMD and will be even more so in the Civilized War series.

They don’t in many states, they might be handed out like candy in blue shizholes. It is all illegal even the lack of enforcement of the laws is illegal. They suffer no consequences for their parts in the criminality.

My family and friends in law enforcement around here arrest, charge and convict them. It is up to the state and feds after that. Their vehicles and other assets are seized and usually sold later after the case is completed.

My SIL will stop or have his officers stop them for any violation, even a broken tail light. None ever have a DL, they will try to use whatever else they have as documentation. He tells them that will not work and hauls them in for booking if the offense is bigger. If stopped for something minor they are required to just ticket, tell them to call somebody to pick them up, then call a tow truck to impound. The vehicles are later sold at auction. If the owner of the vehicle is legal, he/she has to pay all costs and fines before getting the vehicle back. If involved in an accident, the owner is on the hook for whatever happens after that.

Which is how it should be done everywhere. Once ticketed or booked ICE should be called and pick them up if they are not involved in an injury or death situation that involves major criminal charges. ICE or other Feds rarely show up to take custody of the scum according to him.

Hubby was just making a delivery to one of his regular customers that has a Really Tight space to maneuver. Someone that works there–“guy’s a weiner”–regularly parks in a way that makes the squeeze that much more challenging…so Michael decides to make sure to back in next to the guy’s vehicle while he was sitting in it & watching w/ trepidation & gets w/in 6″ of the guy’s truck in the process (Hubby’s truck is about 40 feet long today). Perhaps Next Time doofus will park leaving a little more room for the delivery guys, well probably not. Apparently the guy saw him approaching on the street & rushed to pull in before Michael so he kind of did it to himself. There’s a back lot where the guy could park but he chooses to pretty much impede the delivery guys, because he’s “fat & lazy”. The guy’s co-worker there observed the parking finesse & told Hubby “I guess that’s why they pay you guys the big bucks–Whew!” Hubby was actually laughing watching the guy get nervous/pissed as he backed in…live & learn or more likely not 😉 😉

One night in Ohio, he parked his rig at a truck stop and got some food and when he came back he was assaulted by a guy in the next truck! He struck John in the head with a metal hammer!! He yelled at John for parking too close to his rig.

That spate of laws that passed recently around the country, “Move over or slow down for emergency vehicles” I’ve personally seen result in two cars nearly run off the road and mine nearly hit, because a trucker HAD to get into the left lane right now and damn the consequences. Oh, but they could slow down? Rare is the trucker who is willing to even so much as touch the brakes if he has ANY alternative, even if it means impeding traffic as he takes 5 minutes to pass the truck in front of him at a relative speed of half a mile per hour except on slight uphill gradients, when the difference is zero. They’re certainly not going to slow down 10MPH.

I try very, very hard to remember that they’re doing a job under trying circumstances, but sometimes the sheer “fuck you” of their actions really grates.

Cuppa Covfefe

These might be before your time, but do you remember the Andy Griffith episode “The Loaded Goat” (where a goat had eaten a few sticks of dynamite)?

There was road construction going on nearby, and all radio,etc. transmission and sources of percussive noise needed to be suppressed (as in the days of the beginning of the Interstate Highway System)… so the goat had to be handled with the greatest of care (cue Barney and Otis)…

Back in the 1960s we’d see those signs, and turn off our radio in fear of massive explosions nearby… (caused, of course, by our Philco/Ford radio with its multivibrator power supply and A REAL VACUUM TUBE in the amp 🙂 )…..

Some idiot parked at a slant taking up several feet of the space I rent. I told him if he was still there and I had to back out I would hit him (TRUE). He pulled the usual 2 yr old in adult body routine. After a LOT of maneuvering I managed to miss him by a quarter of an inch when I had to back out with the trailer.

Valerie Curren

That’s insane & infuriating. If you’d actually hit him then the hassles for you would probably be increased. Since you’re paying for that space you should ask for a refund from whoever you rent it from & they should collect the difference from the idiot!

THE CDC JUST REDACTED AN ENTIRE 148-PAGE PAPER THAT ON MYOCARDITIS AFTER COVID-19 “VACCINATION” — IN REPSONSE TO AN FOIA REQUEST BY THE EPOCH TIMES — h/t Marica’s blog —

DOCUMENT CLOUD:

Yours Truly is attempting to find the original, un-redacted paper. Reddit, for example, says it’s all bogus since the CDC hasn’t redacted other, similar papers.
On the other hand, the Documents Cloud site cited above does show a completely redacted paper. Would the CDC just make up a “148-page paper”, redact it, and then upload that to Document Cloud? Yours Truly is also searching The Epoch Times for an answer.

Just found this from Zachary Stieber of The Epoch Times:

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.

Psalm 91:
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Guys, the plan IS coming together. You just have to know WHERE to look.

Example A:

“Fani Willis Conspired with Liz Cheney’s Faux J6 Committee – J6 Committee Shared Video Recordings with Fani Willis But Then Deleted the Video to Prevent Republican Lawmakers from Gaining Access To It.”

A direct quote from chairman Loudermilk’s report investigating the J 6th select committee lead by Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney.

Why this is important. It not only shows the collusion for the coming RICO case against them all. That is the surface.

Look DEEPER.

Fani Willis, in her collusion was given “evidence” by Liz Cheney and her committee, obviously bogus “evidence” BUT we the people NEVER got to see it OR even question it, because it was DELETED before the Republicans retook the House. An illegal act to be sure, but I want to SEE the evidence.

We can’t the deleted it, and even though some was recovered, it is encrypted.

Paying attention yet?

Ready? Liz and her Cabal DELETED video and files on their end.

BUT, I bet Fani did NOT. She is not SMART enough to do that, hell look at her case now. Gee, kinda makes her ongoing case to be removed in Fulton county kind of IMPORTANT doesn’t it. Fani is under investigation herself, I bet she cannot be deleting ANYTHING right now, and IS being closely monitored.

In fact, I bet someone already has ACCESS to those files….Won’t they be surprised when the crap they thought buried comes BACK to bite them. You can BET that this is also happening throughout the Cabal from E jean Carrol, to Leticia James, to Jack Smith to Alvin Bragg. ALL connected, ALL colluded with the Cabal through the Biden WH, ALL eventually leading to the top, the puppeteer.

You just need to see the TREE and not the forest. The case against the Cabal IS building, once it achieves critical mass, there will be NO stopping it. SOON. I look for big hints to be laid in the summer and the reveal in the fall.

Remember, everything that has happened from Fusion GPS, to Muller, to shampeachment 1 and 2 to Jan 6th, Covid, and Ukraine IS connected. Once the thread is pulled it ALL unravels.

Hi Barry, trouble sleeping? WAIT it will get WORSE. We KNOW who is the puppet and just who is the puppeteer. Tic toc you useless waste of air. ALL is going to be revealed.

Hur: We Have Recordings of Biden Improperly Sharing Classified Information

…there are recordings of Biden doing so and Zwonitzer didn’t have a security clearance… 

“Inside the Mark Z folder was the final book proposal for Promise Me, Dad. Mr. Biden used this proposal to shop his book to potential publishers, and this bidding process resulted in a book contract netting Mr. Biden an advance of $8 million. Biden’s assistant identified the handwriting on this folder as Mr. Biden’s. The date on the folder indicates that Mr. Biden created it at or around the same time he met with Zwonitzer on February 16, 2017, and said he had just found classified documents. The folder was at some point placed in the same box as the marked classified documents about Afghanistan,” the report states.

A six-week audit by the Federal Aviation Administration of Boeing’s production of the 737 Max jet found dozens of problems throughout the manufacturing process at the plane maker and one of its key suppliers, according to a slide presentation reviewed by The New York Times.

The air-safety regulator initiated the examination after a door panel blew off a 737 Max 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Last week, the agency announced that the audit had found “multiple instances” in which Boeing and the supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, failed to comply with quality-control requirements, though it did not provide specifics about the findings…

For the portion of the examination focused on Boeing, the F.A.A. conducted 89 product audits, a type of review that looks at aspects of the production process. The plane maker passed 56 of the audits and failed 33 of them, with a total of 97 instances of alleged noncompliance, according to the presentation.

The F.A.A. also conducted 13 product audits for the part of the inquiry that focused on Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselage, or body, of the 737 Max. Six of those audits resulted in passing grades, and seven resulted in failing ones, the presentation said.

  :wpds_arrow:  At one point during the examination, the air-safety agency observed mechanics at Spirit using a hotel key card to check a door seal, according to a document that describes some of the findings. That action was “not identified/documented/called-out in the production order,” the document said.

  :wpds_arrow:  In another instance, the F.A.A. saw Spirit mechanics apply liquid Dawn soap to a door seal “as lubricant in the fit-up process,” according to the document. The door seal was then cleaned with a wet cheesecloth, the document said, noting that instructions were “vague and unclear on what specifications/actions are to be followed or recorded by the mechanic.”

Asked about the appropriateness of using a hotel key card or Dawn soap in those situations, a spokesman for Spirit, Joe Buccino, said the company was “reviewing all identified nonconformities for corrective action.”

Jessica Kowal, a spokeswoman for Boeing, said the plane maker continued “to implement immediate changes and develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and quality, and build the confidence of our customers and their passengers.”

In late February, the F.A.A. gave the company 90 days to develop a plan for quality-control improvements. In response, its chief executive, Dave Calhoun, said that “we have a clear picture of what needs to be done,” citing in part the audit findings.

90 days during which the public is in danger when they fly?

…Many of the problems found by auditors fell in the category of not following an “approved manufacturing process, procedure or instruction,” according to the presentation. Some other issues dealt with quality-control documentation.

“It wasn’t just paperwork issues, and sometimes it’s the order that work is done,” Mike Whitaker, the F.A.A. administrator, said at a news conference on Monday. “Sometimes it’s tool management — it sounds kind of pedestrian, but it’s really important in a factory that you have a way of tracking tools effectively so that you have the right tool and you know you didn’t leave it behind. So it’s really plant floor hygiene, if you will, and a variety of issues of that nature.”

One audit dealt with the component that blew off the Alaska Airlines jet, known as a door plug. Boeing failed that check, according to the presentation. Some of the issues flagged by that audit related to inspection and quality-control documentation, though the exact findings were not detailed in the presentation.

  :wpds_arrow:  The F.A.A.’s examination also explored how well Boeing’s employees understood the company’s quality-control processes. The agency interviewed six company engineers and scored their responses, and the overall average score came out to only 58 percent.

One audit at Spirit that focused on the door plug component found five problems. One of those problems, the presentation said, was that Boeing “failed to provide evidence of approval of minor design change under a method acceptable to the F.A.A.” It was not clear from the presentation what the design change was.

Another audit dealt with the installation of the door plug, and it was among those that Spirit failed. The audit raised concerns about the Spirit technicians who carried out the work and found that the company “failed to determine the knowledge necessary for the operation of its processes.”

Other audits that Spirit failed included one that involved a cargo door and another that dealt with the installation of cockpit windows.

Meet the Man Trying to Change the Culture of Boeing Defense
CEO Ted Colbert says reducing groupthink is part of the path to a nimbler, networked weapons company.
r
BY MARCUS WEISGERBER
GLOBAL BUSINESS EDITOR
NOVEMBER 6, 2022
INDUSTRY
PERSONNEL
AI & AUTONOMY
NEW YORK — Ted Colbert, the CEO of Boeing Defense, Space, and Security, finds himself navigating two cultural changes.

The first is reshaping his division of the 100-year-old planemaker into a more agile builder of networked and AI-assisted weapons. The second is much more personal.

Colbert is one of only a few people of color on Boeing’s executive council, much as he was at the head table in a late-September luncheon in the 20th-floor ballroom of the Yale Club in midtown Manhattan. He is one of vanishingly few Black executives to rise to positions of prominence in the defense industry.

Every day, Colbert said, he works to help his peers “become better allies” for people of color, women, and other underrepresented groups of employees.

Boeing’s overall workforce is about 67 percent white, according to 2021 company figures, and the defense and space business is the whitest of the company’s three business units, at 74 percent. Just 6.8 percent of Boeing employees identified as Black; the company aims to boost that 20 percent by 2025.

Colbert says hiring more workers of color should be viewed “as a growth strategy” for Boeing.

“By acknowledging the importance of having a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization, you essentially attract more people to your organization and company,” he said. 

When he meets with employees in his 15,000-person division, Colbert said, “I’m most concerned about” the least diverse teams “because they tend to suffer from a little bit of groupthink.”

@OVERSIGHTADMN @REPLOUDERMILK MARCH 11, 2024

INITIAL FINDINGS REPORT

ON THE FAILURES AND POLITICIZATION OF THE JANUARY 6TH SELECT COMMITTEE, THE ACTIVITIES ON AND LEADING UP TO JANUARY 6, 2021

The Subcommittee on Oversight is investigating the security failures of January 6th which House Democrats failed to investigate in the 117th Congress. We are focused on identifying and reviewing the numerous security failures on and leading up to, January 6, 2021, and reviewing the creation, operation, and claims made by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee to investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

KEY FINDINGS:

THE SELECT COMMITTEE WAS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE A POLITICAL NARRATIVE – Pelosi made the unprecedented decision to refuse to appoint minority members chosen by the minority to the Select Committee. They hired Hollywood producers to assist with their primetime hearings. They refused to adopt rules, allowing them to operate without limits, to project their predetermined narrative to the world.

CHENEY WAS VICE CHAIR, A POSITION RESERVED FOR A DEMOCRAT – Cheney was not the minority ranking member but served as Vice Chair of the Select Committee—a position under House Rules for a member of the same party as the Chair. Pelosi appointed Cheney to the Select Committee as one of Pelosi’s eight majority appointments to the Select Committee. Former Select Committee staff members spoke out against Cheney’s insistence that the Select Committee focus on President Trump.

THE SELECT COMMITTEE DELETED RECORDS AND HID EVIDENCE – Reps. Thompson and Cheney failed to turn over video recordings of witness interviews and depositions despite using these recordings in their high-profile, primetime hearings. The Subcommittee recovered over one hundred deleted or password-protected files, including some files that were deleteddaysbeforeRepublicanstookthemajority. Theyalsohidmultipletranscribedinterviews of witnesses who had firsthand knowledge of Trump‘s actions on January 6.

THE SELECT COMMITTEE PROMOTED “STAR WITNESS” HUTCHINSON’S TESTIMONY – Reps. Thompson and Cheney promoted Cassidy Hutchinson‘s sensational revised testimony and hid witness testimony from White House and Secret Service employees with firsthand knowledge that directly contradicted Hutchinson‘s version of events. Hutchinson conducted three transcribed interviews with the Select Committee before substantially revising her story in her fourth transcribed interview. Despite knowing how significantly her testimony changed, the Select Committee promoted it as fact.

HUTCHINSON‘S SENSATIONAL STORY ABOUT TRUMP LUNGING AT STEERING WHEEL IN SUV AFTER SPEECH AT THE ELLIPSE WAS DIRECTLY REFUTED BY DRIVER OF THE SUV – Reps. Thompson and Cheney were aware that the Secret Service agent driving the SUV on January 6 directly refuted Hutchinson‘s testimony. Despite this, they still included her testimony in the Final Report and insisted it was credible.

THE SELECT COMMITTEE COLLUDED WITH FANI WILLIS – Fulton County District Attorney wrote to the Select Committee seeking assistance with her prosecution of President Trump. Select Committee staff met with representatives from her office.

Did we REALLY expect anything else from these transcripts? I’ll say it again this is all for show, nothing will ever become of this. R-cons just pretending to care before the (hopefully) election.
This scenario gets old quickly, for the people paying attention, not so much for the sheep. They still believe the Keystone Cops will put them all behind bars……. Yeah okay
Meanwhile the communist are still running the government.

TheseTruths

As far as I know, the only things Congress can do are to investigate and withhold funds. Withholding funds becomes a problem when RINOs need to please their constituents who want handouts and donors who withhold from them if they don’t toe the line.

The result of investigations should be indictments and prosecutions, but when the DOJ is run by the opposition, or when crooked and cowardly Repubs are in charge, nothing happens.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Congressmen just love to brag about how, for every dollar paid in taxes, they ensured [fill in some amount more than a dollar] gets spent in their district. You’re invited to imagine people from your least favorite state having their tax dollars go directly to your community.

You wonder about the poor schmuck who couldn’t bring home the bacon while in Congress. Surely some guy is hoping his district won’t notice it’s a net loser, right?

But deficit spending lets EVERYONE bring home more money than the district sent to DC.

Miranda Devine

@mirandadevine

Biden is asked a specific and difficult question that will incriminate him if he answers honestly, so he falls back on the familiar sly defense: 1. Delay; 2. Invoke his dead son for sympathy; 3. Feign memory loss. It’s all over the transcript. Classic con artist behavior. And it worked. Embarrassing for him that the anatomy of his dishonesty is laid bare for all to see, but his life is full of embarrassment. He is impervious. He got away with it. That’s the point. You’re the chump.

In a classified briefing this afternoon, attended by officials from the Biden Justice Department, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Elon committed “election interference” in 2022 by “changing the algorithms” on X to alter the results of the midterms that year.

Not coincidentally, the anti-TikTok legislation now being debated on the Hill would allow the federal government to force the sale of any social media platform that interferes in elections. Just so you know what’s coming in 2025.

Judge grants Trump extension in blow to Jack Smith
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/judge-grants-trump-extension-blow-jack-smith
FTA – 
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial granted the former president’s legal team a 10-day extension to make filings in the case, despite opposition to the motion from special counsel Jack Smith.
Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ruled that Trump may file replies to motions by March 24, 2025.
The ruling came as a blow to prosecutors, who had argued that the schedule “has been in place for months” and that Trump’s legal team says it needs more time based on circumstances it had been aware of for years, such as Trump’s criminal trial in New York, which is scheduled to begin on March 25.
Trump is expected to attend a hearing on Thursday where his attorneys will argue that the classified documents case should be tossed.

Sources better be wrong. Carson is not much life insurance. Kari Lake is scarier. So is Steve Bannon. Either one would terrify the enemy into letting DJT live.

This is probably the first of many “run it up the flagpole and see who salutes” stratagems over the next several months. That approach was the forerunner of opinion polls. From my perspective it is too early to have any choice set in stone.

They couldn’t use the “two old white guys” excuse, and they couldn’t make racist accusations either. It would be hard to make a case that Carson was a diversity placeholder since he was picked by Trump before for his cabinet.

My questions are who is Jasmine, who are her sources, and what makes them credible. The report could turn out to be true, but “sources” could be anyone. I’ve seen enough claims to be skeptical about those made by people I don’t know and trust.

[loud guffaw]

cthulhu

Well, I figured out why I was having such a problem yesterday with something totally “trivial” when lighting-up my second ssh “server”.

On server bb, I’d naturally be logged-in as user bb123 (the one for physical access). I’d plug in a thumbdrive to transfer keys to a client computer, then I’d then change user to user bb456 (the ssh user) and generate a keypair. Then I’d try to transfer the key to the thumbdrive, and the computer wouldn’t recognize the thumbdrive.

The problem seems to be that the thumbdrive has directory/file permissions from bb123. I should be able to chmod my way out of this — probably by logging back in as bb123 and making the thumbdrive’s directory promiscuous, probably as /media/bb123.

So many things get better after “sleeping on it”, but it plays hell with your time budget.

cthulhu

This is further complicated at both the source and destination.

The key for bb456 is id_rsa in the .ssh subdirectory of /home/bb456, which typically can only be seen by bb456. Back in the day, directories in /home weren’t locked down for other users — I remember discussions about “this is nuts, we should have changed this ages ago” when the change was made.

Thumbdrives are typically formatted with some version of FAT, which cannot handle real *NIX file permissions, so it is assumed to have the permissions of whoever plugged it in. These are not real permissions, so they are difficult to manipulate with the regular *nix tools for manipulating same. If you try to change permissions (that are assumed, not real), it will say they are changed; then, when you look at it again, they are not changed.

Accordingly, you have to generate the keys in your ssh clients (bb456 and bb789) — which, btw, will create the relevant .ssh subdirectories with permissions as well. You can just change users to go from one user to another. Then, your best bet is to reboot back into your physical user, plug in the thumbdrive, go to the place on it that you want to stash keys, and “sudo cp /home/bb456/.ssh/id_rsa /stashkeys/bb456/id_rsa” (you have to make any necessary directories in advance). Trying to log in as bb456, changing directories to ~/.ssh, and going “cp id_rsa /media/bb123/USB20FD/stashkeys/bb456/id_rsa” WILL NOT WORK.

So, with all the gyrations going around about firewalls, keys, sshd configuration, and all that…..the thing that seems like it would be the easiest, most trivial thing, turns out to be a bit of a sticky wicket.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Have you tried just unplugging the [promiscuous] thumb drive and plugging it back in for the new user, and letting the crazy [media-promiscuous] system handle it?

cthulhu

As a matter of fact, I did. Even after ejecting, and plugging in to a different USB port, the crazy [media-promiscuous] system wants to attribute it to the initial user and not the ones that have been switch-user’d.

The only way the thumbdrive would work right was for user bb123. It was ok to switch-user to users bb456 and bb789 to generate the keys, but I ended up having to be user bb123 (the one that the system boots into) to run the thumbdrive.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

You could switch user and chown, no? Or does this user actually still exist somewhere else?

cthulhu

In this case, bb123, bb456, and bb789 are all real users on the bb system. It boots into bb123, and I change user into bb456 and bb789.

The thumbdrive seems to be stuck on bb123. I suspect that I could use mount to change its behavior (see man section “Non-superuser mounts”). Because its permissions are illusory and not baked-into the filesystem, chown doesn’t seem to work.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I do have situations where a drive gets mounted as root but I am running as user and find myself unable to write files to it, but sudo chown seems to fix the problem permanently (even subsequent mountings of the drive).

It probably doesn’t hurt that Qubes by default creates one user for every VM, and that user’s name is “user”. (Dom0 being the exception; you can set the user name to whatever you want on installation.)

cthulhu

Would that be a FAT-formatted drive? Like I said, if I’d reformatted the thumbdrive to ext4 before I started playing with things, I doubt I would have had this level of problems.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Hah, yes that’s a point too.

FAT and other Micro$haft formats I have to mount with -o group=1000,user=1000. I wrote my scripts to just determine the filesystem type (lsblk has a way to do that I’m too lazy to look up right now) and mount it with that if it’s FAT, FAT32 or NTFS.

I’ve recently gone through and added accommodation for ZFS and that is a VERY different animal; the drive knows where it wants to mount and you have to let it do so and remount it elsewhere (and it will remember THAT). So my script lets it go where it wants, then changes the mount point to what I asked for when I invoked the script. That way I can freely organize every VM in a way that makes sense for it and not worry about where I was when I set up the ZFS drive.

And as a slight aside, when I do create an ext4 thumbdrive, I format the drive directly, one partition…none of this usba/usba1 nonsense. Between that and ext4 itself it confuses the heck out of most systems’ automounting. Joe Bloe the Windows user literally has no idea why my thumbdrive won’t work; if he actually has awareness of how to look at it it looks like a totally unformatted or corrupted thumbdrive, since he can’t even see partition on it.

cthulhu

The funny thing is, Linux can deal with so many filesystems and generally uses defaults so well you don’t have to think about them much….until you try something weird that is outright impossible on other systems (like manipulating ssh keys as files).

I’ll go one further on the single-partition thumbdrive road….I’ve got the “big iron” (6T spinning rust drives) formatted as one single-partition ext4 each.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Mine are on a NAS and thus ZFS.

I’m not sure what the surface layers of hard drive platters are made out of, but it looks silvery metallic. Not rust (iron oxide) any more.

I dissassembled a bunch of drives I couldn’t wipe for whatever reason and only the very oldest of them–a 120 MB monster–had a rusty tinge to the coating.

I’ve yet to figure out how to physically destroy the platters. Maybe pay some guy with a welder to puddle them?

I’ll probably get there in a while. Once ssh is working reliably, I’ll be moving into NFS and moving large amounts of data around to sort wheat from chaff. After I have a bunch of “good stuff”, I’ll probably look into getting/building a NAS to deal with it.

By-the-by….I looked into LVM back around 2015 or so. It would theoretically enable you to lump all your storage together and hand it out in manageable slices. I stopped dealing with it when it came out that a failure of one physical disk in your setup could corrupt pieces of your entire LVM setup — acting as a sort of “reverse RAID”.

ZFS looks more promising when I get to that point.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Some forms of RAID are actually that bad. Let’s stripe a bunch of disks together to make One Big Volume (Raid 0) with MULTIPLE points of failure. That one is WORSE than JBOD.

ZFS has things corresponding to Raid 5 and 6 (one or two parity drives respectively) but with write through so it’s more robust. It even has three parity drives as an option (which would be Raid 7 but there’s no such thing).

cthulhu

I could probably fix the “assumed permissions” thing by reformatting the thumbdrive in a native *nix filesystem (e.g. ext4). Then it would have real permissions.

I’m glad she’s investigating. That said, she’s too young and inexperienced for me to trust her judgment.

She says, “I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact [should be “theory”] that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.” That’s exactly what Candace is doing: staking her entire professional reputation on this one story by pushing it so hard.

I wonder if she talked with any respected investigators or journalists on the Right before going at this so hard.

The story might never be conclusively proven correct. In that case, Candace will forever have the reputation of “queen of the ‘Brigitte is a man’ theory,” which is not exactly a professional recommendation. She is taking a risk, which could be a positive, depending on how one looks at it. I doubt she will be heralded as the person in America who took down the Macrons, because I doubt that is going to happen.

I’m not criticizing her; I just think she is not on the professional level that she wants to be or presents herself to be.

kalbokalbs

Candace is a bit over-the-top, on this.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Totally agreed.

I think there’s about an 80% chance she’s right, but a much lower chance that she can prove the 80%. That’s not a safe BIG bet, IMO. Especially when her hypothesis is that the other side will go to great lengths to keep the secret.

OK you’re reminding me of a story in our family that I can’t tell as well as Hubby but it still cracks us all up.

When Josiah was a gradeschooler at one point I was holding him on the couch & he reached up & copped a feel & I was Pissed. I told my husband after he came home from work so he had a big talk with the lad.

Well sometime later Michael took all the kids & dropped our oldest son off for basketball practice & took the other 3 kids Christmas shopping in a nearby shopping center killing time until practice was over.

They were making their way through a department store & as usual Josiah took off & wouldn’t respond to his name being called so Michael’s looking around while trying to corral the other 2 little kids, probably like 1st & 3rd graders then…

Finally he sees Josiah who’s climbed up on the platform containing a female mannequin & when he catches his dad’s eye reaches up to cuff the boob while yelling out “Fake Boobs are OK, right?”

Of course at that moment another mom from the Christian school walks into the scene to catch all the classy Curren chaos! LOL

That’s a fairly fun read–TY.

My daughter inherited a well-endowed maternal profile (from her grandma, ahem) but was Extremely Modest throughout her life, Never capitalizing on her assets. Just before HS graduation a nearby locker mate admitted that she’d always hated her because of her “big boobs” & she was so jealous. Then she realized that my daughter was a very sweet, nice person so basically apologized for hating her…hmm

cthulhu

My sister had a roommate in college who was well-endowed. I had heard that she had breast surgery some time before we met. She seemed nice, and had a little more than plenty, and (in the back of my mind) I was trying to figure out a way to say that she would probably have been fine without augmentation….

….and, then, I found out what kind of breast surgery. What I saw was “half-off” of what she had started with.

Wow. I’m guessing back then it would have taken a special guy, AND a special girl, to have that conversations transparently. Vive la difference!
