Red October was a submarine. And a darn good movie IMO.

cthulhu

Red October is also a date — November 7, 1917. And a Soviet holiday every year thereafter (until the Soviet Union fell).

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

And before someone asks why Red October was celebrated in November, it’s because in 1917 Russia was still on the Julian calendar. Late October for them was Early November for us. When they switched sometime in 1918 they changed the nominal date to match.

cthulhu

The funny thing, to me, was that the same people who discarded the Julian calendar as a “relic of the old regime” (the Bolsheviks) still celebrated the downfall of that regime as “Red October” or the “October Revolution” [Октябрьская революция].

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Allies Unveil Policy Plan To Push Back On China’s Influence In America

A pair of Trump allies are unveiling a policy platform Monday that recommends how the U.S. should address the growing threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) within American institutions, the Daily Caller learned first.

Ric Grenell, former acting director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, and former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin launched the “Protecting America Initiative” in August. It is an organization focused on supporting lawmakers by helping them pass legislation to limit the CCP’s growing influence in America, the Daily Caller previously reported. The Protecting America Initiative is introducing a series of policy proposals aimed at stopping the CCP from buying U.S. farmland, infiltrating American infrastructure and having influence within the country’s higher education institutions, according to a policy page first reviewed by the Caller.

“Beijing does not have the best interest of Americans in mind as it secretly works to leverage our food supply, economy, education, and businesses. China’s pervasive influence and malignant intentions cannot be ignored. If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will not stand up for Americans and our country, states must take immediate action,” Grenell told the Caller in a statement.

“We need strong, precise policies to counter the CCP’s aims in this country, and our policy plan is imperative for all state leaders to secure American interest at home,” he continued.

In an effort to prohibit Chinese accumulation of U.S. farmland, the Protecting America Initiative is calling for any farms owned or operated by China to be stripped of their government financial assistance, according to its new policy page. The organization also suggests that each individual state should establish reviews of any foreign purchase of land and ensure that U.S. agriculture companies are creating their products within the country, rather than outsourcing to China…

Other policy platforms of the Protecting America Initiative include addressing America’s political independence. The organization suggests that all government officials and lawmakers should be required to report any contact they have with China, the new policy page states.

To stop the growing threat of the CCP in higher education and the country’s K-12 system, the Protecting America Initiative’s policy page suggests that all colleges and universities be required to report all its ties to China and lawmakers should ensure that there is an “availability of research dollars contingent on the production of viable plans to stop IP theft”…

Regarding this X post from the open:

I wonder how many people recognized that as false information. This is the third time that I can remember posting about it.

The Nuremberg Code is not divided into Articles and Sections. It does not address masks.

The lack of knowledge of history and understanding of the context for the Code, or the unwillingness to do a two-minute search for accuracy, or, worst of all, the deliberate misrepresentation of the Code, are as egregious as anything the fake news does. IMO, it shows profound disrespect for what the trials and the Code were about. And that false information gets spread all over the internet by people who want to use the Code as an indictment against COVID jabs and masks. I maintain that, if one believes the COVID jabs were an experiment, then the original text of the Nuremberg Code is sufficient.

The principles of the Nuremberg Code were outlined in the section of the judges’ verdict entitled “Permissible Medical Experiments”:
https://media.tghn.org/medialibrary/2011/04/BMJ_No_7070_Volume_313_The_Nuremberg_Code.pdf

The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:

And here is the text of the Nuremberg Code:

1.-The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

2.-The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

3.-The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

4.-The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

5.-No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

6.-The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

7.-Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

8.-The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

9.-During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

10.-During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

It was way too conveniently specific. If that was actually Article 6, Section 3 of the Nuremberg Code, we all would have had a copy of it in our pockets every time we left the house in 2020-2021.

There are two kinds of bankruptcy — reorganization and liquidation — for individuals, Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 respectively.

One moves into Chapter 11 when one is unable to timely service his debts. The value may be there, but it is not there now. In Silicon Valley, it is very common to “grow into bankruptcy.”

Let’s say that you can get widgets for $100, put $10 of work into ’em, and sell ’em for $250. You’ll automatically be a great success, right? Even better, let’s say you can buy widgets on credit at net 30 terms. It’s like a printing press for making money! You start out with $1000.

Now let’s say that it takes you 30 days to put that $10 of work into it, and another 30 days to find a buyer, and the buyer pays in 30 days. Oh, and so many people love your widget that your sales double every month.

Month number one, you buy $100 of widgets and modify them. You are only out $10 because your labor needs to be paid NOW. Balance $990

Month number two, you buy $200 of widgets and modify them. You have to dip into cash for $100 to pay for the first months’ widgets and pay $20 for labor to modify the new widgets. Balance $870.

Month number three, you buy $400 of widgets and modify them, and you ship out your first month’s widgets to customers — woohoo! You have to pay your labor $40 and pay for last month’s widgets at $200, but your customers for the first month’s widgets are going to pay you $250!!!! Balance $630.

Month number four, you buy $800 of widgets and modify them, and you ship out your second month’s $200 widgets to customers at $500. You have to pay for Month 3’s widgets at $400, month four’s labor at $80, but you do collect month one’s sales of $250 — so you end up at a balance of $400.

Month number five, you buy $1600 of widgets and modify them, and you ship out your third month’s $400 widgets at $1000. You collect month two’s sales of $500, but have to pay for Month 4’s widgets at $800 and month five’s labor at $160. Your business is growing like a weed and insanely profitable, but you have burned through all your cash and are $60 short. You might be able to stall people off a bit this month — maybe there’s a holiday or something.

Month number six, you buy $3200 of widgets and modify them for $320, and you ship out your fourth month’s $800 widgets at $2000. You collect month three’s sales of $1000, but have to pay for Month 5’s widgets of $1600. You started the month $60 overdrawn, and your net this month is $920 further down.

Again, this is extremely common in high-growth, very profitable situations — you want to grab every available deal and just outrun your cash-on-hand. It’s not the bankruptcy of failure; it’s the bankruptcy of success. When you deliver and collect everything and pay everybody off, you likely end up with everyone satisfied and a bit of profit at the end.

So when you have Harris talking about “filed for bankruptcy six times” when she has never run a company and thinks cash flow happens by itself once a month, it is very annoying.

cthulhu

I should note that this was a cartoon example intended to blow up in six months. In real life, there’s rent and taxes and salaried purchase agents and inventory management, and all sorts of just weird stuff going on — and it may have been bumping along for years.

My first job in industry was something like this. We had $60,000 in the bank, $1.2M in payables, and inventory in every room in the building — including the men’s room. As things began to break loose under my tender ministrations, I found that we had to return a substantial number of lasers that didn’t meet our needs — and I brought in The Fiancee’s sister to get them returned.

The Fiancee’s family grew up in the nice ‘burbs north of NYC, but her sister could seriously put her New York on. I remember walking by her office and hearing, “fine, we can send them back to your factory tomorrow and work on the paperwork while they get there, just give me the address” [factory was in Eindhoven, Netherlands)]. *pause* “What do you mean, you don’t know where your own factory is?” The sales rep never had a chance (he had been happily claiming a commission on every laser delivered to us, whether or not it worked, for over a year, maybe over two years — management had been too busy shipping things to paying customers to dance his little dances about returns).

For her and her commies, cash flow DOES come by itself once a month.

Just read two books, Those Who Love about John and Abigail Adams during their US Revolution Years and The Wind at Morning about Magellan’s Journey around the world – both in Reader’s Digest books I bought for 50¢ in the Village thrift store.

In 1776, in America, those ‘activists’ would be shot or hanged and their homes burnt or dismantled.

Aboard Magellan’s ships, these ‘activists’ would be beheaded if they were granted mercy, if not, they were drawn and quartered alive. Either way, their parts were hung up to remind folks of the consequences of mutiny, treason, interfering with the ships’ mission and command. This was common justice aboard ships of that era.

The only problem with Starlink [in this crisis] is that it is a single location service. It has the capacity to be a mobile cell service [like what we use every day], but I have not heard that Elon will turn on this ability.

If he doesn’t, it will be the same as the meeting at the general store each morning of years ago. People will have to go to where the Starlink terminal is, plus the Starlink router requires electric power.

100%. We’ve all been looking for pings. Nearly everyone has checked in. Gail’s ping, not yet.

Reality in play. Fundamentally sticking with, it takes time, to be able to ping.

Xx days since the rain and wind arrived. Fundamentals certainly in play.

Water surely receding. Perhaps not fast enough. Ground saturated.

Truly emergency repairs to the home.

Gotta have electricity and functioning Internet. Gail has a generator. Requires gas. Water. Cooking fuel. Priority freezer / fridge. Critters to care for.

Trees down around home, over passable roads. Destination with fuel and food available. Perhaps with electricity. Internet?

Suspect Gail and DH have their hands full. Exhausted AND dealing with brutal reality.

All too often, we read of power and Internet being out for week(s) after major weather damage.

  • Unfortunately, seems to be part Gail’s plight.

We look forward to a ping. A relief in itself. Whatever Gail needs, anything, would be good to know.

  • Would gladly donate to a givesendgo, exclusively for Gail and DH.

Until then, we have Gail and DH in our thoughts, prayers and ready to assist, given the opportunity.

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.

FEAST ON WISDOM

Happy are those who Feast on Wisdom;
Who savor her knowledge of His Kingdom;
She will refresh and nourish them wisely;
Her assistance is welcome – quite precisely!

Heavenly bread – her drink – understanding;
So succor her knowledge notwithstanding;
Her nourishment is constant and truthful;
Not for the blind of faith – or for the youthful!

Refreshment is – the fruit of the Spirit;
Through the lens of faith – we can intuit;
What can one do with only knowledge alone?
With no understanding – knowledge is prone!

The sweetness of Wisdom is God’s Great Gift;
Knowledge plus understanding – a lofty lift;
From the abyss of deception we will arise;
The richness of Wisdom is for only the wise!

His Word alone – not the fruit of the earth;
Sustains His faithful ones – from their rebirth;
The bread of Wisdom is insight – not mirth;
Her drink is understanding – knowledge worth!

Refreshed by His Word – and nourished divine;
His faithful ones repent – sin – they decline;
His Spirit indwells – in the temple of man;
Where wisdom is instilled – according to plan!

Your steadfastness, Lord, assures that within;
Both knowledge and understanding defeat sin;
When the two are united – wisdom be told;
A magnificent miracle – inside to behold!

For what is a man who is wise beyond years;
If he hears not – listens not – to what he hears;
If he has knowledge without understanding;
His foundation is shaky – so is his landing!

The Gift of the Spirit is Wisdom – and Grace;
The mind becomes avid – with Faith in place
The body is sound – the spirit is free;
So Feast on Wisdom – sweet delicacy!

Proportioned and balanced as God created;
With knowledge and understanding related;
Combined with His Word in perfect harmony;
Let’s Feast on Wisdom – His Word brilliantly!

Was seated in the stands of old Crosley Field for some games with my dad the year (1963) Pete played as a rookie along with the great Frank Robinson. Pete was always my dad’s favorite player.

https://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/ballparks/crosley-field/

BIMD – My high school Guidance Counselor (oxymoron) and former baseball coach grew up with and was from Loveland where Pete lived. They played ball together in school. They were drinking buddies when Pete was in town. Yup, I left a few “stories” and other details out of BIMD intentionally. Back then 18 year olds could drink 3.2% beer, so several friends and I “visited” that establishment with our former GC after graduation. The primary illegal bookie operation that caused Pete’s issues with MLB was located in Franklin, OH; second floor, at Kinney’s Dinebar Cafe. It burned down in 2011.

Always a story…

pgroup2

Never missed a game IIRC. Should have been in the Hall of Fame decades ago for being the hitting-est player who broke Ty Cobb’s record.

R.I.P., Mr. Hustle.

Tonawanda

I want to repeat a link DePat posted above. It is not for those who are averse to many words and details.

But for others it is a thoughtful and enlightening article about the origin of Islamic radicalism and the change in the meaning of the word “terrorism” to benefit of those who made the change, sort of like the change in the meaning of the word “vaccine.”

The later part of the article reviews some of the facts suggesting Israeli involvement in bringing down the three towers. The author also posits CIA involvement which is entirely consistent with Israeli involvement. Like the Kennedy assassination.

The other (omitted) details can be found by searching, but a “detail” also not mentioned is the question “cui bono” – – a consideration which could be discussed both from a prosepective and retrospective pov. Who benefitted from this spectaculer false flag attributed to Islamic terrorism?

IMO well worth reading unless your mind is closed to such information:

The Fiancee is moving from London to Florence (Firenze) today.

Firenze is an amazing place — centuries old, but it sometimes feels like it’s a Disney creation because it’s so full of happy tourists. You can dig deeply into the place, and there’s always more to see — and it’s a very walkable city.

Not only is the artwork amazing, but the food is awesome.

🚨 Wisconsin Election Workers Being Told THEY CAN NOT CHECK FOR ID

When asked “what type of identification do you need? A voter’s registration card, driver’s license”

Election worker “Previously I had to check everybody’s IDs. But this year, I was told I wasn’t allowed.”

“We just walked in to get absentee ballots to register to vote for November 5th. Walked in, and we asked her how we go about getting those, and she said, oh, I’ll mail them to you. I said, well, what type of identification do you need? A voter’s registration card, driver’s license, whatever.

And her response is, previously, I checked. I had to check everybody’s IDs. But this year, I was told I wasn’t allowed.

Can somebody please tell me what’s wrong with that picture? I said, how long will it take us to get those? Because we’re gonna be going out of town.

And she said, oh, you’ll get them tomorrow. I’m gonna walk them over to the post office right now. You’ll get them tomorrow. So I walked in, asked for an absentee ballot. They’re gonna send it without anybody checking if I’m registered.

What’s wrong with that picture?”

Thankful you bring these.

Tonawanda

Scepticism of RFK is fully warranted, although MAHA sounds wonderful

If it is true, as RFK expressly stated (and DePat posted) that Trump will give RFK oversight on the intelligence agencies, that is cause for concern.

But it is impossible not to wonder if RFK will be given the opportunity personally to expose who murdered JFK and RFK. That sounds like something Trump would make happen.

kalbokalbs

What is the concern for RFK getting oversight of IC?

Does anyone who cherishes America, The Constitution believe the IC has America’s best interests in mind?

Best I can tell, IC has been weaponized against America. As has DOJ, FIB, HLS…

Releasing stuff on the murders of JFK, RFK, MLK, J13th is a stroke of the pen by Trump. RFK Jr can be part of facilitating that.

While I do NOT agree with RFK Jr on many things, RFK Jr is presently an asset to America First, Trump.

Until RFK Jr acts otherwise, I am good with him. Same as Tulsi, Vivek…

Something about Unity is a great thing. My way or the highway, not so much.

Not implying the latter is your perspective. Just, no need to cast away assets, supporting America First.

  • RFK Jr simply needs to stay in his lane. Be monitored and if necessary, managed…
  • No different than Tulsi, Vivek…
Tonawanda

Agree with everything you say. Maybe “trust but verify” is the best pov.

kalbokalbs

Yes, I am absolutely in the trust but verify mode.

TradeBait2

Just my opinion…

Verify, then trust. He is very capable of doing the right things. However, he is also a Kennedy. PDT needs a hall monitor for him.

Which is how I think it will go. RFK does the due diligence and assessment. PDT authorizes the response along with who conducts the response.

pgroup2

Keep in mind that separating the assessment phase from the correction phase is important. If he has to do both, then he must allocate his personal resources [such as time, etc.]. Quality of each will be compromised.

Robert Baker

I believe the oversight discussion was with respect to the transition period. The context of the discussion was on that topic. This leads me to further believe that the oversight is for a limited time horizon.

Tonawanda

True, but it was exactly at the tranistion oversight period when Trump got wrong people put into his administration. Bad people, traitors.

In RFK’s transition role, the question will be whether RFK will recommend the right people. Trump seems to rely upon the personnel advice of people he respects, and he seems to respect RFK.

In the area of MAHA, RFK probably would recommend good people. But in the area of intelligence, there was where the Trump administration was actively undermined.

TradeBait2

^^^ This was why I said what I said. 👍

pat frederick

if nothing else, he deserves closure on that issue. the country does as well.
but being in charge of it? not in favor either

Barb Meier

The IC required employees and contractors to take the shots to remain employed. Perhaps that is still his focus. The activities of the IC are deep and broad. I suspect RFJ Jr will be focused on healthcare and policies related to that.

kalbokalbs

Another reason to calibrate the IC.

Barb Meier

And remove redundancy.

TradeBait2

Terrific points.

Barb Meier

Thank you, TradeBait!! There are 18 IC agencies.

https://www.dni.gov/index.php/what-we-do/members-of-the-ic

The U.S. Intelligence Community is composed of the following 18 organizations:

  • Two independent agencies—the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA);
  • Nine Department of Defense elements—the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and intelligence elements of the five DoD services; the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force.
  • Seven elements of other departments and agencies—the Department of Energy’s Office of Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence; the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis and U.S. Coast Guard Intelligence; the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of National Security Intelligence; the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research; and the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis

 
 

TradeBait2

I guess we could call them silos in honor of SD. 😀

Barb Meier

I have seen intel analysts share their analysis reports with others in other agencies who focus on the same areas for peer review of their assessments. Sometimes they do not concur and produce their own rebuttal analysis report.

PROPHETIC WORD:

JGM – LIVE WITH JULIE – [1 October 2024] 

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT 

God IS never going to leave you without hope, in despair…GOD IS YOUR HOPE. HE IS YOUR GOOD REPORT. GOD IS THE MOST HIGH GOD – EL ELYON. God is above everyone and everything. This name describes His position as a sovereign, majestic, pre-eminent God. There is no one bigger than our God. We’re facing big enemies. We’re in a war, a battle of the life and death of a country. They want to collapse it, destroy it from within. They are using every form of weapon they can possibly imagine…but GOD. He’s above everything and everyone. We serve the Most High God. 

Hebrews 13:6…So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?

 …We have everything we need because He’s the GREAT I AM Jehovah SHAMMAH…The LORD is THERE…He has not forsaken you. When the Jewish people were under an extreme amount of attack, under devastation, under a shaking, hopelessness and despair. They were weary and fainting because of the stress they were seeing and the attack they were enduring. 

The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy…but GOD IS THERE. He’s there in the present and HE’s also there in the future. God’s already there. He’s in your tomorrow. The LORD is My helper I WILL NOT BE SEIZED WITH ALARM. Our enemies want us to panic, overwhelm us with circumstances and pile so much pressure on us so we break [physical, mental, family, financial or all the above]…Find encouragement in knowing GOD IS WITH YOU. Know you’re not trying to do it on your own. God’s not asking you to fight these battles, figure them out and pick yourself up all by yourself. He is there with you….He takes the yoke of bondage/slavery off of you, that the enemy is trying to put on you. Don’t take that worry on your life or body. God’s already freed you from it…start speaking to those thoughts that are contrary to the Word of God.

saw this…area in NC hit hard is essential for solar panels and semi conductor chips.
FTA
The remnants of Hurricane Helene ripped through the Western North Carolina mountain town of Spruce Pine last week, disrupting a quartz facility integral to the global production of solar panels and semiconductor chips.
The largest Spruce Pine mine is owned by Sibelco, a private Belgium mineral company that is Mitchell County’s top employer. Sibelco told The News & Observer Monday that the company has “temporarily halted operations at the Spruce Pine facilities” since Sept. 26.
“The hurricane has caused widespread flooding, power outages, communication disruptions, and damage to critical infrastructure in the area,” the emailed statement said. “Many people in the area, including our employees and their families, are facing displacement and significant disruptions.”
As of Saturday morning, the storm had dumped more than 2 feet of rain on the town, submerging its downtown buildings and overwhelming area roads, railways, utilities, and homes. Sibelco’s mines are north of downtown in an area called the Spruce Pine Mining District. From above, they look like giant white sandy beaches. The area is set back from the local North Toe River, which flooded. But news reports indicate surrounding Mitchell County has experienced extensive damage to roads and rail lines, which could impact workers’ ability to get to the site and the company’s ability to transport materials.
The town is home to the purest quartz on the planet, a byproduct of continental formations that occurred more than 380 million years ago. High-purity quartz is essential to making the silicon wafers that get cut into chips. While there are other sources of quartz, the purity many producers demand is only found around the mines of Spruce Pine. “It is rare, unheard of almost, for a single site to control the global supply of a crucial material,” wrote Ed Conway in his 2023 book “Material World.” “Yet if you want to get high-purity quartz — the kind you need to make those crucibles without which you can’t make silicon wafers — it has to come from Spruce Pine.”

Jeep is recalling more than 194,000 plug-in hybrid SUVs worldwide because they can catch fire with the ignition turned off.

In addition, Jeep is urging owners not to charge the SUVs and to park them outdoors and away from structures until they are repaired.

Sometimes some of these rockets get through. Similar to this vid that somehow made it through the internet. Rare but it happens.

Some?

No idea how many launched. Number intercepted. Number got through.

Simple numbers reflects Israel at a disadvantage, to stop all out missile launches.

Was Iron Dome overwhelmed? Dunno.Israel have enough missiles to intercept incoming? Dunno. Highly doubtful, based on what I’ve read in the past.

We are going to have extreme weather and natural disasters at least through the rest of hurricane season. It seems, from year to year, that people forget this is a reality. It’s akin to the Left blaming everything on “climate change” because they conveniently view everything as a new phenomenon, never experienced before by humankind. Yet the most severe Category 5 hurricane to hit the US was the Labor Day hurricane in 1935,

the most intense tropical cyclone known to make landfall in the Western Hemisphere, having the lowest sea level pressure ever officially recorded on land—a central pressure of 892 millibars (26.3 inHg)—suggesting an intensity of between 162 and 164 knots (186 and 189 mph).

Interesting as the woman in the second vid describes, the 77% increase in pay (thought she might of said 70% in the vid above) is over a period of 6 years. 🤔

:0) If I were a worker and I got a 1.3% Cost of Living raise every year for 6 years, that would be a 7.8% raise, which in reality is a good starting point. However, I’m not sure the wage increase is the biggest issue with this contract. I have a feeling that automation replacing workers is the issue.

Do you think a large number of tech wizards have retired, moved elsewhere, or died suddenly, leaving a greater number of beak dippers than inventors?

cthulhu

It’s a combination of factors.

Land used to be inexpensive, so you could set up a warehouse or manufacturing area. There were odd clusters of resources — like cubies — defense and aerospace was winding down in both Silicon Valley and Washington, so you could build a cube farm on the cheap. Regulations used to be lax and triggered after-the-fact — if you build something that went “boom” and issued a bunch of smoke, the Fire Department would come by and ask, “what was that?”…..now you need a permit in advance.

You used to get youngsters who could build models or work on cars, but now they just do Candy Crush or get shipped off to college.

There’s more, but starting a business (or even a project) is like trying to run a race with one foot encased in a bucket of concrete.

Julian Assange makes 1st public appearance since his release from prison

Julian Assange made his first public appearance since his release from prison, telling European lawmakers the United States had forced him to “plead guilty to journalism” to put an end to his years of captivity and that his case still set a dangerous precedent.

Assange addressed the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, an international rights body, in the French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday.

He said he had eventually chosen “freedom over unrealizable justice” in agreeing to the deal that allowed him to walk free after 14 years spent in detention.

“I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration because I pled guilty to journalism,” Assange said at the hearing, which was broadcast live.

Assange was released from Britain’s Belmarsh prison in June and flown to a U.S.-district court on the Pacific island of Saipan after accepting the deal. There he pleaded guilty to conspiring to obtain and disclose classified U.S. documents and a judge sentenced him to 62 weeks in prison, the equivalent to his time spent in Belmarsh. The U.S. had been seeking to prosecute Assange on 18 counts under the Espionage Act.

The agreement ended the more than decade-long effort by the U.S. to prosecute Assange for his role in publishing thousands of classified materials, including diplomatic cables and some materials showing possible war crimes by American troops.

“I pled guilty to seeking information from a source. I pled guilty to obtaining information from a source and I pled guilty to informing the public what that information was. I did not plead guilty to anything else,” Assange said.

Assange was imprisoned in Belmarsh for five years while fighting extradition to the U.S. Prior to that, he spent seven years confined to the Ecuadorian embassy in London, facing arrest if he went outside.

“The experience of isolation for years in a small cell is difficult to convey,” Assange said on Tuesday. “It strips away one’s sense of self, leaving only the raw essence of existence. I am yet not fully equipped to speak about what I have endured.”

Since his release, Assange has been living with his wife Stella and their two young sons in his native Australia.

“I think everyone can tell that he is exhausted, that he is still very much in the process of recovering,” Stella Assange told reporters at the hearing. “And at the moment, the only concrete plan in the foreseeable future is that he will continue his recovery.”

Assange and his supporters have warned that the plea deal still sets a dangerous precedent for media freedom, making him the first journalist to be convicted under the Espionage Act. At the hearing, Assange said he was precluded from seeking justice over his detention, saying the U.S. had required the plea agreement to include a prohibition on his filing cases at the European Court of Human Rights.

He and his team are campaigning for a U.S. presidential pardon.

Kristinn Hrafnsson, WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief, who also attended Tuesday’s hearing, addressed the precedent of Assange’s pardon with ABC News.

“You need to take away that dagger. It has now been bloodied once. And if there is no reaction and no push and no political desire to take that weapon out of any politician’s hand, it will be used again,” said Hrafnsson.

Asked if Assange had plans for work with WikiLeaks now that he was free, Hrafnsson said he had nothing to disclose for now.

“I’m certain there will be a role,” Hrafnsson said. “And of course there is a role for Julian. And of course there’s a role for the recognition of the work and the past and the legacy of Julian Assange’s and how he contributed in this massive manner to the history of journalism in this century.”

Dr. Robert Malone: “I just came back from Tokyo where they had a 30,000 person rally because they’re about to deploy self-replicating RNA vaccines. Japan is being used as the guinea pigs for the world for this new technology. The Japanese people are calling this the third atomic bomb. This is being deployed in a cooperative agreement between a US company, Arcturus, a Canadian company, I’m sorry, a Australian company called CSL and a Japanese company.

Now the CEO of the Japanese company recently gave a press conference. What did he say? He said anybody that is spreading misinformation, we’re going to go after him legally, we’re going to try to have them jailed. If you say anything against their self-replicating RNA vaccine technology that’s never been rigorously tested, we don’t know if it’s going to infect other people. We don’t know if it’s going to spread.
We know it’s going to replicate. We don’t know if it’s going to get into the brain of the elders in Japan. But we do know that if we say anything about these concerns, the CEO is going to come after us and try to put us in jail. That’s the new world order. That’s what we’re coming into. That’s what they want to implement on us.

They want to shut us down. They want to prevent us from speaking. They want to completely control the narrative and they want to be able to deploy psychological warfare on all of you to control you, to train you, to respond to the fear narratives about avian influenza and monkeypox and whatever it is they want to deploy next in order to control you, in order to teach you to shut up, sit down, stay in your homes, and do what you’re told. Now I’m not okay with that, I don’t think you’re okay with that, and I hope that you join all of us in fighting this new tyranny.”

Been trying to give our good folks here a heads up on how all of the wealth grabs work. Some were in BIMD. I am getting more specific in American Stories. Some will remember a post regarding fracking/lithium in PA as well as lithium in NV.

If coal is present, odds are other mineral and fuel deposits may be found as well.

Appalachia is filled with highly valuable deposits. Some may remember companies going around the country obtaining rights from property owners in the 50s-70’s. Some of our hillbilly kin signed the dotted line and nothing materialized. Through the years the properties changed hands, but the 99 year rights for exploration remained in place. Those contracts were not just for oil or gas rights, they were also for all mineral rights. Few knew the real reasons why they wanted them back then. They figured it was just for oil and gas exploration, which never seemed to amount to much..

Take the long view, the criminal cabal does.

para59r

Excellent point. Not just about Lithium. It’s about getting around property rights and a host of other things right down to depopulating the Appalachian Mountains, disrupting commerce and interfering in our election. It will be a long time before we see how much they get away with but there should be early signs. Put this on the WEF watch.

From The Spectator by way of Insty:

But consider accountancy. At first the use of AI will come as a boon. Think of all the fairly mindless legwork, the retrieval of records, the processing of data, the assembling, charting, calculating and presentation of accounts; the discovery and reconciling of discrepancies. AI can do a lot of this. Important questions of inspection and judgment will remain (at least for the time being) the preserve of humans, and in the short term this will make accountancy a more stimulating job by removing much of the drudgery. But drudgery means time; and time, at present, means human labor. Look at what happened to bank clerks.

I love it when people opine on accounting without having the least understanding of it.

Accounting isn’t shuffling paper and processing transactions — that’s bookkeeping. Accounting is all about accountability, and a lot of it is demanded.

I once joked that the “income statement” of a church could be three lines — “beneficence of God”, “good works”, and “increase/(decrease) in funds”. In the real world, accounting records must support management’s decisions, maintain compliance with laws and taxes, provide information for investors. Procedures are developed to churn all that hated “paperwork” to do all these things in a way that can be trusted by all parties.

Warren Buffett famously quipped, “you manage what you measure.” Accounting provides that measurement.

It’s not quite ready for AI.

I am amazed that there is an issue about this. The Dobbs decision clearly stated that abortion is not within the federal constitution.

All a GOPer has to say is that the abortion issue cannot be a federal issue because of Dobbs. Any fed legislation on abortion is automatically unconstitutional. Arguments to the contrary are simply false or bald lies. When idiots say that the Congress can put Roe into law, they are lying or moronic, It simply cannot be done as long as Dobbs is the controlling opinion.

I’ve been listening to part of the debate (not watching). Vance has a good voice for radio, and in general, and he comes across as knowledgeable and intelligent.

I hadn’t heard much of Walz at all. I agree with all the negatives that have been said here. At the same time, if you’re not looking at the issues, he comes across as a warm and fuzzy guy who’s in your corner. He’s Grandpa or Uncle Tim. He would welcome you into his home or office. He would take care of you, and I think that’s his appeal. IMO he would be a very successful salesman because he’s a BSer. These things make him dangerous because his policies are so unAmerican.

I have doubts about his son having witnessed a shooting just because Walz has lied to much.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Well said, and agreed. Walz may be lying about the school shooter thing, too. If Vance suspected anything, he was VERY smart to “agree” with Walz and let the real fact checkers (us) figure out the truth.

It’s just incredible… I couldn’t have even dreamed that up… I mean, that’s like walking around, looking for a rake to step on 😂 🤣 😂

Thank you for watching, Kal and TB!! I just couldn’t deal with Walz. He’s so over the top weird. Naomi Wolf is livestreaming with Emerald on Rumble, but I had to turn it off when it started. LOL

Walz is showing himself, for sure.

I think I see the Team Trump strategy here.

Chinee Tim has pageS of notes.

Have not seen JD make any notes.

kalbokalbs

Walz getting tired.

Walz looks like a Tussaud’s waxwork gone wrong and starting to melt

kalbokalbs

Exactly.

Definitely a sagging face…

Drugs wearing off.

Walz. I don’t run Facebook.

FEDS PAY FB and others to censor Free Speech.

Tim Walz is looking REALLY unhinged about January Sixth and Trump.

TheseTruths

The problem with talking about J6 in a public forum is that you can’t argue that the election was stolen without looking crazy (because that’s how the Left will characterize you) or fanatical, which turns people away. The election WAS stolen, but there’s no way to convince doubters of that in a forum like this.

TheseTruths

Yikes! I had only been listening but I just tuned in to a video feed before they took a break. Walz’s eyes are WAY too wide open.

Chinese MK. Brainwashed decades ago.

Someone should wave a Queen of Diamonds at him.

kalbokalbs

Methinks he’s on drugs.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Could be.

kalbokalbs

Hope this thing is about over.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Listening to Walz is a chore. I wouldn’t hire the guy to be a checker at the grocery store. He’s OTT.

TheseTruths

Has there been a memorable one-liner that would characterize this debate? If so, I have missed it. I think both sides will say they won.

kalbokalbs

None by me.

Perhaps JD will have one in the closing.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes. Both sides will say they won.

IMO J.D. won strategically.

pgroup2

Doesn’t matter. Show me one prez election where the VP made a difference.

kalbokalbs

Kill Joy.

But, yea, true.

Then there was this….

kalbokalbs

Great closing by JD!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes. Excellent closing.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

JD going after censorship was smart, and made Walz fall into a trap on it.

Citizen Free Press:

Very weird debate moment for Tim Walz, caught lying.

I note that Walz began his statement with the equivalent of “I grew up in a middle class family.” It’s a stale tactic.

I was surprised that the moderator doubled down on the question after Walz gave his spiel.

pgroup2

The moderator was giving the MAGA folks a false branch to grab while sliding down the cliff. Assuming they actually were sliding down the cliff of despair, which I doubt.

TheseTruths

I’m not sensing any despair in the MAGA camp. I think the moderator thought she had to look impartial. In any case, I’m glad she doubled down because it was very revealing.

Okay, I think we do have a memorable one-liner from the debate. 😂

LOL!

Yeah – I think “Let Walz be Walz” was a winning strategy.
