“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Understanding the mass line.
The mass line was a political campaign style developed and used by Mao Zedong and the CCP in the People’s Republic of China. It’s a very common method for doing agitation and propaganda, as well as for driving radicalization ever since.
The name “mass line” suggests two possible meanings, and as it happens, the technique uses both. One is that the “mass line” is the line the masses are taking, and the other is that it’s the line being fed to the masses.
Here’s how it works.
The mass line begins by being extracted from the masses. Issues that are likely to agitate or incite them are determined by the propaganda office. The issues should be ones that are likely to invoke mass mobilization campaigns tapping a lot of negative, or sometimes positive, emotions (e.g., frustration, anger, fear, despair, or hope and enthusiasm).
These issues are then studied by the propaganda office to determine how they can be packaged, or codified, in terms of the party’s interests, ambitions, and interpretive frame.
These reframed inciting issues are then fed back to the masses in a mass line campaign, which runs reflexively to make it seem like it’s the current issue everyone is talking about and mobilizing around. The emotion under the mass line as it was extracted gets channeled into the mass line campaign as it benefits the party.
For example, the masses could be angry and frustrated that rents are too high and housing is unaffordable. The party would then recognize this reservoir of resentment in the people and would codify it by deciding it is caused by the landlords being too greedy and selfish. They would then feed this interpretation of the issue in a big-scale campaign back to the people with the goal of inciting and mobilizing them all at once. “Rents are too high because we have too many landlords who are greedy!”
The party will likely also package in a pre-determined solution pathway into the mass line because the point is often to get the people to demand the thing the party wants to do. They might add, “we need rent controls” or “we need state ownership of apartments.”
The mass line is then pushed with a vigorous campaign that makes it feel like the most important issue everyone is talking about, and one that has to be solved now, usually according to the line provided by the party. The masses are thereby mobilized to protest and demand what the party wanted in the first place. Their energy, which might be quite legitimate, is coopted to the party’s agenda.
That’s how the mass line works. Be on the lookout. We see them everywhere now.
PS:
For those who followed my explanations of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, this is the same methodology applied to education, as Freire himself explains in Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
Gathering the mass line is finding the “generative themes,” which the educator then “codifies” and delivers back to the students in a “decodification” that interprets their circumstances for them to awaken critical consciousness and to inspire radical activism.
There are several different psychological methods used to manipulate the public. I think we have all heard of the Hegelian dialectic: Problem – Reaction – Solution. An excellent example is making schools ‘No Gun Zones’ via the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. Followed by Facilitating school shootings and then scream we need to get rid of the 2nd Amendment Right to bear arms.
…since the days of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels it has been used as a guided process toward a desired end.
The objective of Hegelian dialectics in this sense is to replace something old with something new (e.g., capitalism with communism, traditional Bible doctrine with theological modernism, a traditional educational system based on moral absolutes with a new one based on relativism, an old age with a new).
Used like this, Hegelian dialectics cannot produce the new thing, but it can destroy the old. Other processes and techniques come into play in actually producing the new thing that is desired.
Hegelian dialectics is used today to create a “paradigm shift” by replacing an old “paradigm” (prevailing belief system) with a new one. It is a technique of “social evolution” and “political transcendence.”
It is not an innocent process. It is used by “change agents” and “facilitators of transformation.” Hegelian dialectics is “the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution” (Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich, “What Is the Hegelian Dialectic?” October 2005, http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm).
Speaking religiously and spiritually, it is an ever-evolving system that never arrives at absolute truth. All is relative and negotiable and the end justifies the means….
Another method we ran into during the Farm Wars was the Delphi Technique.
If you look that term up on Brave today the first three options you get:
In contrast with many other types of interviews and focus groups, Delphi studies allow participants to rethink and refine their opinions based on the input of others, contributing to a more reflective and thoughtful process.
The following key characteristics of the Delphi method help the participants to focus on the issues at hand and separate Delphi from other methodologies: in this technique a panel of experts is drawn from both inside and outside the organisation.
The Delphi technique is a systematic process of forecasting using the collective opinion of panel members. The structured method of developing consensus among panel members using Delphi methodology has gained acceptance in diverse fields of medicine. The Delphi methods assumed a pivotal role in the last few decades to develop best practice guidance using collective intelligence where research is limited, ethically/logistically difficult or evidence is conflicting….
TheDelphitechnique is an excellent consensus-building tool for complex project decisions that lack historical precedent or data. The Delphi method is a game-changing project management method to drive consensus and make complex decisions using an anonymous, and iterative approach by experts to provide input without influence from others…
The Delphi method (also called Wideband Delphi) was developed in the 1950s by the RAND Corporation as a forecasting methodology and named after the Greek Oracle of Delphi who foretold the future.
It is a structured, iterative process to solicit expert opinions and reach a consensus on complex problems or decisions which involves a facilitator sending multiple rounds of anonymous questionnaires to a panel of subject matter experts….
All nice glowing articles about the technique.
After reading that crap, I decide to make my notes from a couple decades ago available because the Delphi technique is not as innocent as those articles portray it. The key phrase is ‘CONSENSUS BUILDING’

A special thanks to Marty Oakley, John Munsell, Lynn Cohen-Cole, Walter Jeffries, Barb and the rest of the Farm War Warriors who taught me so much about the evil encroaching on our land.
The original issue that brought all of this to light was of course the absurdly inflated claims of danger to scientists. Just like AGW, its all done “for the cause.”
Reading about this “deliberative democracy” project is extremely disturbing….
This needs to be looked into. Who set this up, who paid for the “study”, who is behind this? Are there other “deliberative democracy” projects like this going on in any other countries?
Sounds like “manipulative democracy”, not “deliberative democracy.” Scary stuff indeed.
The basis of the Delphi Technique is to achieve consensus on controversial topics and requires professional facilitators, we are told….
More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving.
You, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen, decide to take part in one of these meetings.
Generally, you will find that there is already someone designated to lead or “facilitate” the meeting. Supposedly, the job of the facilitator is to be a neutral, non-directing helper to see that the meeting flows smoothly.
Actually, he or she is there for exactly the opposite reason: to see that the conclusions reached during the meeting are in accord with a plan already decided upon by those who called the meeting.…
In her article USDA Employing Delphi Technique, Marti Oakley describes the opposition we face as we go to the USDA listening sessions. I faced a similar situation when I attended a county meeting to discuss our land being turned over to the local tribe, as well as water rights.
I recognize now that the technique used in that meeting to manipulate the people present was the Delphi Technique. Although not aware of it at the time, I did use the technique described in the following article to counter it. This response came naturally, and was probably due to my former peace officer training. Countering this technique is not difficult, and I recommend it.
Here is a link to an article that describes what the Delphi Technique is:
The Delphi Technique was originally conceived as a way to obtain the opinion of experts without necessarily bringing them together face to face. In recent times, however, it has taken on an all new meaning and purpose. In Educating for the New World Order by B. Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is “…lay, or community, participation (in the decision-making process), while lay citizens were, in fact, being squeezed out.” The Delphi Technique is the method being used to squeeze citizens out of the process, effecting a left-wing take over of the schools.
A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the “Alinsky Method” (ibid, p.123). The setting or group is, however, immaterial; the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics). This allows for a special application of a basic technique.
The change agent or facilitator goes through the motions of acting as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question. The facilitator listens attentively, forms “task forces,” “urges everyone to make lists,” and so on. While s/he is doing this, the facilitator learns something about each member of the target group. S/He identifies the “leaders,” the “loud mouths,” as well as those who frequently turn sides during the argument — the “weak or noncommittal”.
Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes “devil’s advocate.” S/He dons his professional agitator hat. Using the “divide and conquer” technique, s/he manipulates one group opinion against the other. This is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear “ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic.” S/He wants certain members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate. The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation. S/He is able to predict the reactions of each group member. Individuals in opposition to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.
The method works. It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group. The “targets” rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated. Or, if they suspect this is happening, do not know how to end the process.
The desired result is for group polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of the group and group process. S/He will then throw the desired idea on the table and ask for opinions during discussion. Very soon his/her associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition…
Ground rules for disrupting the consensus process (Delphi Technique) — when facilitators want to steer a group in a specific direction.
1) Always Be Charming. Smile, be pleasant, be courteous, moderate your voice so as not to come across as belligerent or aggressive.
2) Stay Focused. If at all possible, write your question down to help you stay focused. Facilitators, when asked questions they don’t want to answer, often digress from the issue raised and try to work the conversation around to where they can make the individual asking the question look foolish, feel foolish, appear belligerent or aggressive. The goal is to put the one asking the question on the defensive. Do not fall for this tactic. Always be charming, thus deflecting any insinuation, innuendo, etc, that may be thrown at you in their attempt to put you on the defensive, but bring them back to the question you asked. If they rephrase your question into an accusatory statement (a favorite tactic) simply state, “that is not what I stated, what I asked was… (repeat your question).” Stay focused on your question.
3) Be Persistent. If putting you on the defensive doesn’t work, facilitators often resort to long drawn out dissertations on some off-the-wall and usually unrelated, or vaguely related, subject that drags on for several minutes – during which time the crowd or group usually loses focus on the question asked (which is the intent). Let them finish with their dissertation/expose, then nicely, with focus and persistence, state, “but you didn’t answer my question. My question was… (repeat your question).”
Remember…
always be charming,
stay focused, and
be persistent.
Never, under any circumstance, become angry. Anger directed at the facilitator will immediately make the facilitator “the victim.” This defeats the purpose which is to make you the victim. The goal of the facilitator is to make those they are facilitating like them, alienating anyone who might pose a threat to the realization of their agenda. [People with fixed belief systems, who know what they believe and stand on what they believe, are obvious threats.] If the participant becomes the victim, the facilitator loses face and favor with the crowd. This is why crowds are broken up into groups of seven or eight, why objections are written on cards, not voiced aloud where they are open to public discussion and public debate. It’s called crowd control. It is always good to have someone else, or two or three others who know the Delphi Technique dispersed through the crowd; who, when the facilitator digresses from the question, will stand up and say nicely, “but you didn’t answer that lady’s/gentleman’s question.” The facilitator, even if suspecting you are together, certainly will not want to alienate the crowd by making that accusation. Sometimes it only takes one occurrence of this type for the crowd to figure out what’s going on, sometimes it takes more than one.
If you have an organized group, meet before the meeting to strategize. Everyone should know their part. Meet after the meeting to analyze what went right, what went wrong and why, and what needs to happen the next time around. Never meet during the meeting. One of the favorite tactics of the facilitator, if the meeting is not going the way he/she wants, if he/she is meeting measurable resistance, is to call a recess. During the recess, the facilitator and his/her “spotters” (people who wander the room during the course of the meeting, watching the crowd) watch the crowd to see who congregates where, especially those who have offered measurable resistance. If the “resistors” congregate in one place, a “spotter” will usually gravitate to that group to “join in the conversation” and will report back to the facilitator. When the meeting resumes, the facilitator will steer clear of those who are “resistors.” Do not congregate. Hang loose and work the crowd. Move to where the facilitator or “spotters” are, listen to what they have to say, but do not gravitate to where another member of your team is.
This strategy also works in a face to face, one on one, meeting with anyone who has been trained in how to use the Delphi Technique.

It is amazing the variety of methods the Cabal has for controlling the ‘Great Unwashed’ Those are just a few.
With this part and the next we will follow our article on Benjamin Franklin and go deeper into the lives of other patriot founding fathers that were from the Keystone State of Pennsylvania. The Keystone name originated from its geographic location in the center of the 13 colonies as well as from its “key” contributions to the economic, political and social fabric of our young nation. Its location touches the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast Appalachia, and Great Lakes regions. As a result it has been multi-cultural and diverse since it was given in a royal land grant to William Penn in 1681.
To say it has been the site of American history in all of its glory, rage and everything in between is an understatement. Pennsylvania has been the seed planter of this great nation in Independence Hall as well as a literal and figurative battlefield from the 1700’s through today, especially with its political theatrics. Yet, when it was first settled it was considered to be a peaceful colony with settlers coexisting well with native American Indian tribes as well people from other nations such as Sweden, Germany (the Pennsylvania Dutch), and others who had major influences on the area.
Just a note at this point; I refuse to use the woke term “indigenous peoples” in reference to our native American Indian fellow citizens. It is historically inaccurate. Treaties, land grants, legal documents, Congressional records, etc. that were executed and referenced with the native American Indians in the development of our nation all state the term “Indian” in it. I have some Appalachian Cherokee blood running through my veins. I am not going to play the word games of the leftists. Right or wrong, God can judge, this world has always worked on the ancient Roman adage of, “To the victor goes the spoils.” The idgits who want to play the victims and reparations games can go pound sand.
It was into this great melting pot of people with patriot and loyalist blood in their veins that liberty was seeded. Pennsylvania’s prominent place in our nation’s history will be forever noted. I will not delve into its history as it would take too long for this series. The links below should help those who desire to know more. First there is a good bullet point style summary,
Now on to the next Declaration signer from the Keystone State.
George Clymer
George Clymer is a founder that many know very little about, yet, was one of the more important.
Clymer was born in Philly in 1739 and was orphaned at age seven. He was apprenticed to his maternal aunt and uncle. They were childless and agreed to raise, educate, and train young George into their merchant occupations. His uncle was also a friend of Benjamin Franklin. George received no formal education, but loved to read and learn. His grandfather left him some wealth in his will at age eleven. George continued working in the family business and became its accountant. He used his wealth to start his own trading business with his uncle’s blessing in 1759. When his uncle passed away he left the family business to George and with it, more wealth.
He married his wife, Elizabeth Meredith, in 1765. She was the daughter of the second wealthiest merchant in Pennsylvania. The couple went on to have nine children together with five surviving. One adult son later died in the Whiskey Rebellion. They were of the Episcopalian faith, which caused Elizabeth’s disownment by her family as they were Quakers.
George was a strong early backer of the independence movement. He served on Philadelphia’s Committee of Safety and was soon elected to serve its Common Council for six years. He was appointed a justice of the peace and later, an associate justice of the City Court despite not having a law degree. During the 1760’s he became even more involved in the patriot movement by authoring articles and pamphlets, leading a boycott of the Townshend Act, and adding his name to a 400 merchant public signing of the anti-importation stance against the Stamp Act. He was opposed by Quakers and loyalists who preferred a more conciliatory approach to Great Britain. He had great opposition to his adamant support for independence from the majority of citizens in the area, yet, they respected him so much he continue to ascend politically.
In 1773 he visited Boston in search of medical assistance for a chest ailment. While there he met and became good friends with John Quincey, an attorney who along with John Adams successfully defended the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre trials. Quincey was a big backer of Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This only encouraged Clymer more and he became an ardent supporter of the patriots in Boston.
He was very successful in his businesses in the Philly area and being popular was elected as a representative to the Second Continental Congress. After signing the Declaration of Independence he resigned in 1777. He remained there and ran his businesses during the ensuing battles in the area and the move of Congress until they could safely return. He was very generous with his wealth in his support of the military and other needs. At a crucial time during this period with funds low for the military, he and other local business leaders chartered the Pennsylvania Bank to assist in the effort. It served as a model for a national bank envisioned by Alexander Hamilton later. During the period he contributed to the war effort by serving on the Board of War and Treasury Board.
A few years later he was elected to the Philadelphia legislature where he served until he was requested to go to the southern states to increase manpower subscription for military and government service as well as soliciting funding. He returned to take part as a representative to the Constitutional Congress. In so doing he became one of only six who signed both the Declaration and the Constitution.
Clymer was a devoted Federalist and key supporter of Washington and his efforts. Washington called him into service in national financial roles as needed. He was also sent to Georgia to negotiate a treaty with the Creek and the Seminole as he had good relationships with native Indians. This resulted in peaceful relations with America and a move by the tribes away from the Spanish trading influence in Florida. He also did a mission to the Cherokees to improve relations in 1796.
He continued holding political office and running his businesses until his death in 1813. Elizabeth died two years later. They had been married 47 years. As a man of strong opinions he had an admirable way of relating to those with different perspectives that created harmony. As a result, despite his Episcopal faith and Elizabeth being disowned from her Quaker family, he was buried in a Quaker cemetery in Trenton, NJ. However, Elizabeth’s burial site is unknown and she is unlikely to have been buried by her husband.
For someone with zero formal education who had been orphaned as a child, George Clymer became a brilliant businessman, politician, judge, patriot, husband and father. He had one quote that stood out to me as it is applicable for our current times, which means it was applicable during his days over two centuries ago.
“A printer publishes a lie: for which he ought to stand in the pillory, for the people believe in and act upon it.”
Yup, fake news was influencing even back then. Fortunately, a growing majority of citizens do not fall for their garbage today. However, the sentiment is still applicable in regards to the use of the pillory against them as it might be appropriate as retribution.

Unity in Christ
Unity is a state of oneness and harmony. All believers in Christ are united in Christ. We are in a relationship that unites us with Him and with every other believer.
Jesus prayed for His disciples—all who would believe in Him for all the ages—“that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you” (John 17:21). Some look at the great divisions among Christian denominations and refer to this as Christ’s great “unanswered prayer.” However, Scripture is clear that all believers are united with Christ because of our relationship with Him and with all other believers. We are all in the same family, even it at times we do not act like it. Therefore, unity in Christ has two aspects—one is objective fact, and one is subjective experience.
Objective and subjective unity can be true for any number of groups, teams, or even families. All the members of a football team are unified by their membership in the group. They do not win or lose games individually. The individuals contribute to the group, but it is the group that wins or loses—that is the objective fact. However, there may be times that the team does not act in a unified way. Selfishness and rivalry may creep up, and, when it does, it is impossible for the team to act as a unit—this is the subjective aspect. The behavior of individuals on the team is not matching the fact of their unity with every other member of the team.
All who believe in Christ are part of His body, the church. The New Testament is clear on this. Ephesians 5:30 says it plainly: “For we are members of his body.” Whether a Christian feels like it or not, he or she is part of Christ’s body and therefore unified with every other believer. Paul uses the analogy of the body in 1 Corinthians 12:12–21:
“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
“Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
“The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you!’”
The human body is a unified whole. If one part does not work right, the whole body suffers. If a person smashes his thumb with a hammer, it is not just the thumb in isolation that hurts. Other parts of the body may hurt, too, and the functioning of the whole body is impaired. This is true even when a person does not know about the malfunctioning part. If an internal organ is not functioning properly, damage may be done to the body before any pain or obvious illness is present.
In the same way, the church has unity in Christ. As part of His body, each member has a particular job to do and a place to belong. When any individual member is not fulfilling his or her purpose in the body, the whole body suffers. All the members are united, and because of that unity, when one acts in an individualistic or selfish manner (i.e., acts as if he is not part of the body), the whole body suffers because, regardless of his actions, the individual member is still in unity with all the others in the body.
Many of the commands in the New Testament direct Christians to live up to their position and demonstrate their unity in Christ. Christians are not commanded to become one in Christ—that is already an objective reality. Christians are told to make their subjective experience match the objective fact. Paul pleads with the Philippians for this kind of unity: “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (Philippians 2:1–4). If Christians, who are members of the same team, see themselves in competition with each other, then they are not playing as teammates. They are not living in light of the unity that exists.
Unity in Christ means that all believers are in a relationship with Christ and, by extension, to every other believer. All believers are united with each other whether they know it or not, like it or not, or feel like it or not. The challenge of Christian unity is to live up to the truth of that reality. Since we are all members of one body, we need to live like it. This means subordinating our individual needs to the needs of the body at large and using our individual gifts for the good of the whole body.
Unity in Christ does not mean that all differences between churches or denominations need to be abolished. Individual churches and denominations can keep their individual distinctives and emphases while still working together in areas where they agree. For instance, an evangelical Baptist church and an evangelical Presbyterian church will be in agreement on the gospel and the essentials of the faith, but because of different beliefs about baptism, it would be impossible for these two churches to simply unite as one church. It might be possible for a church to take a neutral position on infant baptism; however, it is hard to see how a church could teach that parents should baptize their babies (as do Presbyterian churches) and simultaneously teach that parents should not baptize their babies (as in Baptist churches). While these two groups could never unite as a single local church or denomination, they can still cooperate in other ministry endeavors, and individuals within each local body can fellowship with and love each other. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/unity-in-Christ.html

Our Turn
[Yes, I did this one just after the election. But it was too cathartic to just throw away.]
We’ve often seen that quote from David Plouffe: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”
This was of course a declaration of intent to annihilate not just Trump, but rather “his kind.”
You know what? I think we should flip it around. David Plouffe’s kind should be destroyed thoroughly and their kind must not rise again.
What is Plouffe’s kind? I suppose it depends on who’s talking and what they are thinking of in particular. Well, at the moment it’s me talking and I am thinking of the sort of maggot who is attracted to politics not to better his world but rather so that he can wield power over others, or line their pockets with “free” money. Often these people end up as what Ayn Rand called “pull peddlers,” receiving money in exchange for using their connections to do favors.
This type is parasitic. Utterly parasitic. And they should be destroyed thoroughly and not allowed to rise again.
The bad news is we will never eradicate them. Useless turds who can’t do anything productive will always be with us. As will the outright sociopaths.
Of course they find Trump to be their enemy. And of course they find us to be their enemy. If we won’t simply lie down and let our “betters” have their way with us, we’re a problem, we’re something to be got rid of. And of late, we haven’t lain down without a protest, as we are “supposed” to do. Dang uppity Garbage Deplorables! We don’t know our place!!!
The good news is we can provide far fewer niches for these parasites. The niches come into being when something that people formerly did of their own free will is taken over by the government; then every aspect of that activity becomes a political football.
Take for instance education. Since the government runs it, if you don’t like what’s being done, you have to form a political movement and try to work your way around the maggots embedded in the bureaucracy. If education were private, then if you didn’t like what they were doing to your child, you’d take your money and your child elsewhere. And people who didn’t even have school-age children presently would have no voice–and not have to pay money. Making it a government “thing” turned it into a political thing, and the maggots began to swarm.
So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.
People like Plouffe are the same type, but they are the full-on political hacks who set policy, rather than implement it. They’re just as bad if not worse; they help government grow, and steer it into serving its own ends, rather than those of the people it is supposed to be serving.
The Deep State is nothing more than a government that serves its own ends.
And we have had enough of this.
They must be destroyed thoroughly, and their kind must not rise again.
This election wasn’t the end, it was the beginning. There are millions of these malignancies in this country and we’ve just defeated two of them. Keep pushing. Now we can go after them wholesale.
It’s our turn.
Our turn.
Our turn.
OUR TURN!
You stole the 2020 election. You’ve mocked and ridiculed and put people in prison and broken people’s lives because you said this thing was stolen. This entire phony thing is getting swept out. Biden’s getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck, okay?! And now you’re going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.
And I’m going to tell you, we’re going to get to the bottom of where the 600,000 votes [are]. You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think what this country would be if we hadn’t gone through the last four years of your madness, okay? You don’t deserve any respect, you don’t deserve any empathy, and you don’t deserve any pity.
And if anybody gives it to you, it’s Donald J. Trump, because he’s got a big heart and he’s a good man. A good man that you’re still gonna try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. Okay? You’ve destroyed his business thing. And he came back.
He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history. Like, [Roman statesman] Cincinnatus coming back from the plough [returning to politics to rescue the Roman Republic]. He’s the American Cincinnatus. And what he has done is a profile in courage. We’ve had his back. But I got to tell you, he may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man. But we’re not. Okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution, justice. But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we’re prepared to give it to you.
Steve Bannon, on election night

January 6 Tapes?
Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.
For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.
If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…
Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.
Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.
Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.
I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.
In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.
Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.
The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”
Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.
We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.
And yet,
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?
In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).
We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)
We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).
That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.
Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”
If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.
That should make you good and mad.
The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.
I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.
In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.
In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.
So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.
We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*
We know it. What is going to be done about it?
*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.
If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.
RINOs an Endangered Species? If Only!
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the RINOs stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The 2020 election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.
Martin Luther King
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice
President Donald Trump, 20 January 2017 (The “Dark” Inauguration Speech).
[NOTE: Yes, technically this is something I should delete since it’s not January 18th any more and it is dated, but I decided to give it one more run, because some things said here don’t depend on what’s showing on the page-a-day calendar.]
….But I’ll still say something about MLK. He was a decidedly mixed individual. As are we all. But I think he, and many others of his time, did something important and unpleasant; he (and those others) forced a recognition that even after the Civil War we were being hypocritical on the subject of equality under the law. Those people who descended from those who (shall we say) involuntarily migrated to what is now the United States were still getting the shitty end of the stick in many parts of this country, as a matter of law.
He was one hundred percent correct on that.
Unfortunately his successors have turned the point full circle and want a leg up from the law, supposedly to make up for the past mistreatment, but that can only lead to an endless round of back and forth. There are some signs that MLK himself had he not been killed (he would be turning 96 this year were he still alive), would have been right alongside the race baiters (which include some who were with him), other signs that he wouldn’t have.
But just as Thomas Jefferson penned these words, in spite of owning slaves, the words that eventually shamed us into abolishing the “peculiar institution”:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…
I’ll go with what Martin Luther King said…not all that far from where the Inauguration will take place:
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Emphasis mine. Judge people by the content of their character.
That is as it should be.
I see that at Trump rallies. His words about opening hearts to patriotism were true.
I see nothing but reverse racism on the Left. To them the world is defined by what one group does to another, some group must be on top shitting on everyone else. And it shows. There’s a false dichotomy in their thinking. Either white shits on black, or black shits on white. The way to deal with this false dichotomy, though, is not to gin up a third “group” to make it a trichotomy, or a fourth group to make it, what, a tetrachotomy? quadrichotomy? Is either of those actually a word? Gee maybe we can have a different group on top every week of the year at least until some jackass makes up a 53rd group! (Let’s leave aside the one or two day remainder you get from dividing 365(or 6) by 7. These are leftists studying critical race theory, not mathematicians.)
How about we do something different? How about we work towards a system where the law shits on NO ONE except those who violate the rights of others?

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all those persons, of whatever age or location, who have come down with “vaccine”-induced injuries, illnesses, or disabilities, as a result of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (Bioweapon Toxin Injections) that they had put into their bodies; and, also, to all those persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had put into their bodies.
There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none. If readers wish to post any AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they, must cite their source. Thank you.
Yours Truly has written extensively on this board regarding what she calls Establishment Medicine. Establishment Medicine can be found in multiple areas, among them: The teaching of “consensus-centered” medicine (otherwise known as “the science is settled” medicine) in medical schools (this appears to be the approach in medical education currently); the “suggestion” or “advice” that physicians who choose a specialty in which to practice (for example, Internal Medicine) “need” to become board-credentialed by a private medical credentialing board (for example, credentialing through ABIM (the American Board of Internal Medicine, https://www.abim.org/); physician membership in the American Medical Association https://www.ama-assn.org/; and, “adherence” to the “recommendations” of the “routine vaccination schedules” of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/); and, the “endorsed vaccination schedule” of the American Academy of Pediatrics (https://www.aap.org/); the “routine guidance” of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, https://www.fda.gov/); and, the “rules” and “regulations” of the State Medical Licensing Board in the state in which the physician resides, and which physician’s License to Practice Medicine must be secured prior to starting medical practice, and which License must be renewed after a certain period of time). Yours Truly will make it clear at the outset that there are many caring, perceptive physicians — in hospitals, in medical clinics, in stand-alone private physicians’ offices, and so on — who likely do not blindly ascribe to the “diktats” of Establishment Medicine. Perhaps there are physicians among this number who understand that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are dangerous and deadly. Perhaps there are physicians among this number who observing that their COVID-19 “vaccinated” loved ones, patients, or colleagues are presenting with COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injuries, etc. Perhaps there are physicians among this number who would prefer to speak the truth about the COVID-19 “vaccines”, but refrain, due to concerns that they could be “disciplined”, or lose their License to Practice Medicine, by their state Medical Licensing Board.
Until very recently, all was going well for Establishment Medicine — its control over the health of the American public was “unchallengeable” — then, two important things happened: One, that the American public in general began to realize the dangers and deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines”; and, Two, the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the new administration under the forty-seventh President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, a few months ago.
On 9 June 2025, the seventeen then-current members of the CDC’s ACIP committee (Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices) were fired by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-restores-public-trust-vaccines-acip.html, “HHS Takes Bold Step to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines by Reconstituting ACIP”, 9 June 2025.) Please see the screenshot from this announcement, below:
The reason? — Corruption of the ACIP committee members. The United States Congress reported on this corruption back in 2000: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/decades-of-corruption-congressional, “DECADES OF CORRUPTION: Congressional Report Confirms CDC’s ACIP Has Been Compromised Since the 1990s”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 10 June 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:
One of the most-compromised (now former) members of the ACIP committee was Dr. Paul Offit.
And, of course, there was a large outcry from all over Establishment Medicine. One example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-removes-members-cdc-immunization-advisory-committee-acip/, “RFK Jr. removes every member of CDC vaccine advisory committee”, 10 June 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below, and keep it in mind for later on regarding today’s offering:
The ACIP Adult Immunization Schedule that was issued in May 2025 is found here (the actual CDC website no longer lists this schedule): https://www.dph.ncdhhs.gov/news/press-releases/2025/06/03/cdc-updates-covid-19-vaccine-schedule. The ACIP Adult Immunization Schedule that was issued in May 2025 has several changes; among them, the previous CDC “recommendation” that all pregnant women get COVID-19 “vaccinated.” The May 2025 schedule, instead, encourages “shared clinical decisions” between the physician and the pregnant patient. And this is where “the rest of the story” begins.
Then, on 9 June 2025, when HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., fired the seventeen then-current ACIP members, he replaced them with eight new members: Dr. Joseph Hibbeln, MD, ABNP, CAPT USPHS (Ret.); Martin Kullorff, PhD; Retself Levi, PhD; Robert W. Malone, MD; Cody Meissner, MD; James Pagano, MD, FACEP; Vicky Pebsworth, PhD, RN; and, Michael Ross, MD. Their biographies are here: https://www.cdc.gov/acip/membership/roster.html. (Dr. Ross withdrew from the ACIP committee due to “financial holdings” reasons.) Establishment Medicine countered with hue and cry that none of these medical professionals were “experienced in vaccines”, and so on.
The June ACIP meeting was held on 25-27 June 2025, with the now-seven new members in attendance. Even while the meeting was going on, Establishment Medicine was “sounding the alarm” over the new committee and what they would do. Please see: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/adult-non-flu-vaccines/vaccine-public-health-advocates-warn-fallout-acip-meeting, “Vaccine, public health advocates warn of fallout from ACIP meeting”, by Chris Dall, MA, 27 June 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
Keep the above statement from the AAP in mind, as it is pertinent what happened in early July 2025. It appears that, while Establishment Medicine was making statements about how they opposed the new ACIP members, the new ACIP vaccine schedules and the new CDC policies, they were also making behind-the-scenes preparations for suing HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr. And, in fact, this is what occurred: on 2 July 2025, several Establishment Medicine groups filed suit against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to force HHS to reinstate the former ACIP recommended vaccine schedules: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-medical-cartel-sues-rfk, “BREAKING: Medical Cartel Sues RFK Jr. for Pulling COVID Shot Recommendations for Kids and Pregnant Women”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 7 July 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
Note: The blue hyperlinks in the Hulscher article (one needs to go The Focal Points website for the Hulscher article link) lead to scientific articles about the dangers of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, and to the AAP, et al., lawsuit against Secretary Kennedy, Jr.
The AAP statement regarding the lawsuit, here, https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/32580, “AAP suing HHS over vaccine policy”, 7 July 2025, also has the link to the filed lawsuit against Secretary Kennedy, Jr. Please see the screenshot below from the AAP statement:
Screenshots of portions of the forty-two page lawsuit document are below:
In other words, in Yours Truly’s opinion, the AAP and the other medical organizations listed in the screenshot above want to force Secretary Kennedy, Jr., to “go back to the good old days” of the “old ACIP and the old CDC” — the same entities that “recommended” the dangerous, deadly COVID-19 “vaccines” without first demanding complete, detailed, and analyzed data from “clinical trials” for these injectables. Back to the “good old days” when every state legislature, every pharmacy, every medical clinic, every hospital, and almost every licensed physician, blindly followed the CDC “recommendations” regarding vaccinations of children and of adults. Back to the “good old days” of “the science is settled” — and those physicians who boldly told the truth, and continue to tell the truth, about the dangers and deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (for example, Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD; Dr. Ryan Cole, MD; Dr. Pierre Kory, MD; Dr. Charles Hoffe, MD; and, Dr. Robert Malone, MD) were belittled; were marginalized by their medical specialty organizations; were fired from their jobs; were prosecuted by their Medical Specialty licensing organizations; were prosecuted by their state Medical Licensing Boards — were “disciplined” by these Boards, or had their License to Practice Medicine “restricted”, or even revoked, by these Boards. Back to the “good old days” when Establishment Medicine was the sole arbiter of health in the United States.
In Yours Truly’s opinion, the lawsuit by Establishment Medicine against HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., is the culmination of months of negative reactions regarding his nomination as the new HHS Secretary; regarding his confirmation for the position; regarding what appear to be some ambiguous and/or conflicting statements he has made since his confirmation; and certainly regarding his actions as HHS Secretary to attempt to rein in the tyranny of Establishment Medicine in HHS decisions. In some ways, the AAP, et al., lawsuit against Sec. Kennedy, Jr., may be similar to liberal “Judicial Establishment” actions against President Donald Trump 47 regarding blocking his efforts to deport illegal aliens in the United States.
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

This week, a random mix of old tabs and “stuff”!
(1) Ever been curious about the squares of the numbers from 1 to 100?
TheseTruths on July 2, 2025 brought this explosive FBI reveal in the tweet below. I wonder if the Epstein crap, released as a leaked memo without signature, less than a week later was an ‘OH look a squirrel’ to take MAGA attention off of this big reveal.
That leak certainly did a great job of diverting attention. However I think this is what we should actually be paying attention to. Correcting our very corrupt election system is UP STREAM of putting in American First politicians and as a result being able to clean the corruption out of the judiciary and bureaucracy.
This is the tweet TheseTruths brought to our attention.
•FBI HQ interfered with Albany NY investigation into alleged Chinese 2020 Election Interference •Designed to shield then FBI Director Wray from political blowback over his Congressional testimony… pic.twitter.com/UbwITQCdK7
READ the actual Doc PDF HERE.It is 47 pages and not badly redacted.
A few interesting bits:
Hey gents, Hope you’ve had a great day. Quick heads up: I met with today. S/he advised that her/his most recent reporting specifically regardingthe fraudulent use of drivers’ licenses-was obtained from an individual in China. I asked if s/he had read about the aforementioned fraudulent use of drivers’ licenses in a newspaper, and said no. provided the name of the person who provided this information. I will document this information in a supplementary contact report as opposed to a source reporting document. The reason for this is I want to continue, as feasible as possible, to safeguard ’s identity.
The redactions are not showing they are just missing in the copy & paste.🤔
Thanks I just got a call from an SIA and UC at CD. Not surprisingly, all raw reporting concerning the election will now require HQ coordination, which was not required as of last week.
One thing they asked if [redacted] could address with the source – is the source or sub-source aware of open source reporting concerning seizures of thousands of driver’s licenses at Chicago O’Hare? Further open sources began to suggest these drivers licenses were being used to vote fraudulently…
And this is the August 2020 open source reporting (It was on Fox)
This smells like big time election interference to me… BY WAYNE DUPREEAUGUST 7, 2020
Why are the Chinese making so many fake U.S. driver licenses?….
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the bulk of these fake U.S. IDs flooding into the country come from China and Hong Kong, with the rest coming in from South Korea and the U.K. [The UK is interfering again?? Remember the ties of Hong Kong to the UK too. -GC]
Federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses—just at Chicago O’Hare International Airport this year through the end of June.
Most of the shipments came from Hong Kong and mainland China, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Other shipments came from South Korea and the U.K.
“These counterfeit driver’s licenses can lead to disastrous consequences,” CBP’s Ralph Piccirilli said in a statement. “Criminal organizations use these counterfeit IDs to avoid attracting attention to their illegal activities.”
[…]
“What is most disconcerting about these interceptions, besides the volume in which we are experiencing, is the ease in which so many young people freely share their personal information with counterfeiters abroad,” Lemaux said in a statement.
“We’ll continue to collaborate with local law enforcement to educate the public, and anyone who is contemplating purchasing a counterfeit ID online, on the potential dangers of sharing your personal, identifiable information with a criminal element.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported back in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21 2020.
The information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.
The Amistad Project said at the time that they had sworn declarations that over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.
They said that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.
The whistleblower statements included potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines, and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.
Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State….
When talking about fraud and elections you can not forget Lawfare Expert Marc Elias who has done more to ‘shape’ our current election system than anyone else. (image from WIKI)
November 2, 2021 – Elias led numerous lawsuits in 2020 to expand mail-in voting and represented the Biden campaign in the election aftermath.
In other words, Elias used the courts to circumvent the legislature’s Constitutional RIGHT to determine how a state’s elections are run. For example, in North Carolina, a decade ago a law was passed requiring ID. An inferior court struck it down. Now courts are being used to remove the Constitutional Rights of our president.
Hillary Clinton’s attorney, Marc Elias (above), ordered George Gascon, the Los Angeles District Attorney (LADA), to kill the Konnech election sabotage case on Nov. 9th.
No one in Gascon’s office will go on the record to admit it. Because if they do, they fear dying with a pillow implanted over their face. Gascon was told to lie to his staff.
He told them the call came from the DNC (Democrat National Committee). Instead of Hillary. However, Hillary is the DNC…. [I do not care either way – GC]
Public information requests for the LADA’s phone records in November are unanswered.
Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was charged with embezzling $2.6 million from LA County for storing its election data in China, violating national security.
To avoid criminal prosecution, Yu relocated to Malaysia. Eugene fled the country on Nov. 10th after redeeming his $500,000 cash bond….
The above article has several pointers to other articles about Eugene Yu and Konnech.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am going to steal some information from my old article in order to present as full a picture as I can. As far as I am concerned Katherine Engelbrecht, Gregg Phillips and Kanekoa should be up for a medal presented by POTUS Trump!
Katherine explains they were most interested in PROCESS and they did a lot of open records requests.
This is just the first few minutes of Gregg’s talk:
2:30 to 7:30 Gregg: the 3rd week of January in 2021, my guys in Dallas called me to a meeting at a Hilton… they had rented a room and they were all sort of wierd and stuffed towels under the door… They pulled up on the screen, in essence a data base. And the data base had in it every bit of information you would want to know on 1.8 million Americans. Their Drivers licence number, their dates of birth, social security numbers, bank account numbers routing numbers for those banks, their addresses 👉THEIR KIDS. Pretty much everything you would want to know. 👉Also the kids were in their and we knew that because the kids names were noted in all caps…😡 We are going thru this and I am asking what is this? And this is 1.8 million election workers in America. But it was more than that. It was a lot more than that. So as we dug into it and spent the next 3 or 4 hours and breaking up just before dawn… We learned thru this discovery process that this company had COLLECTED ALL VOTING RELATED INFORMATION, not just about the workers, about the schematics for the buildings, the RFID codes on the equipment, anything you would want to know about an election, to run an election or administer an election was in this data base.
The Data base it’s self… explains how got into the data base using Binary Edge (5:17 – 6:15)…It would be startling enough to know that information… was on servers in America. You would be even more startled to know this server lives on the main Unicom backbone in China and it is in a Chinese University in Wuhan China…. I am not talking about this being a storage place for a data process here. The App server for this particular application was in China….
Gregg is introducing the people at the PIT to Konnech and Eugene Yu. The server not only contained info on Americans but also on Australians, Canadians, Mexican and they ultimately found out the CCP elections are on this same server. This confounded the local (Detroit) FBI counter intel team. Gregg says they were part of the on going FBI operation [Can you say set-up by FBI?] Later Gregg acknowledged that it was a set-up. At ~30 minutes they get into exhibits.
This is the complete list of Docs that were shared: Zip File
Also mentioned is the Chinese law that makes ALL THE DATA ON THAT WEB SERVER CHINESE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY! Konnech has contracts all over the country, mainly in all the key counties and all the key cities like Detroit and Boston.
At around 9 minutes to 11 minutes Gregg talks about Mungo DB and their password. How the system was so poorly written that it was wide open and allowed his guys to download all the data. He then goes into the Chinese Communist Credit Scores that ALSO IS APPLIED to AMERICANS. They have more info about Americans than anyone in the world. Gregg emphasizes they have info on just about EVERYONE in the USA. Also Gregg mentions Eugene Yu had his hands in mail-in vote counting software too.
The Georgia and January 6th-related indictments against Donald J. Trump are predicated on the narrative that election authorities like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, and others had thoroughly evaluated the accuracy of the 2020 elections and gave counsel to then-President Donald Trump that there was “no meaningful election fraud” based on their professional, supportable evaluations. True the Vote’s experiences in Georgia prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the General Election of 2020 was never meaningfully investigated. From the over 67,000 votes attached to voting records of individuals ineligible to vote in their jurisdiction to unmonitored surveillance cameras and phantom ballots, these errant processes should have been monitored and investigated before certification. As you will read, True the Vote repeatedly presented its work to Federal and State law enforcement officials. Authorities did not investigate. Instead, they obfuscated, delayed, and ultimately targeted President Trump, True the Vote, and others, for publicly exposing their failure to uphold lawful processes. Those who question the accuracy of the 2020 General Election were, and are, right to do so.
open.ink team”
Kanekoa gets into the nuts and bolts of the computer stuff Gregg revealed and I do not understand.
Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested earlier this month in Michigan in connection with “theft of personal data.” The alleged stolen data belonged to poll workers and was the subject of TrueTheVote’s “PIT” in Arizona last August, where Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips singled out the company…Now we get into the more recent information.
…. April 18, 2024 from Just The News. This is the information conveyed above by others.
The Los Angeles DA allegedly dropped the criminal charges against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu because he was afraid of appearing to be aligned with President Trump, according to the prosecutor’s complaint.
A lead prosecutor on a case involving the CEO of an election software company has filed a government tort complaint against Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón for allegedly dismissing criminal charges improperly against the company executive for political purposes.
The prosecution of the head of an election software company used by election offices across the country that began in October 2022 was ended about a month later because of the Los Angeles County district attorney’s concerns about his political image, according to the lead prosecutor’s complaint against the DA.
On Wednesday, Eric Neff, a prosecutor in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, filed a lawsuit against the DA for allegedly improperly dismissing criminal charges against Eugene Yu, the founder and CEO of the Michigan-based election software company Konnech….
Skuttlebutt from Naked Truth News. I do remember the move to Malaysia and it was mentioned above in another article..

: Expose the FBI and Gascón’s Konnech–CCP Election Software Cover-Up Strong evidence shows that corrupt FBI officials and former LADA George Gascón deliberately concealed CCP infiltration of U.S. election systems—because exposing it would have politically benefited @realDonaldTrump
now have a rare opportunity: expose how deeply politicized the FBI became, remove CCP-controlled software from America’s elections, and finish an investigation that was already 90% complete before it was sabotaged. At the center of the scandal is Konnech, a Michigan-based election software company secretly developed and financed by two Chinese firms—Jinhua Yulian Network and Jinhua Hongzheng Technology—under contract with China’s National People’s Congress and in partnership with state-owned giants like Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and Lenovo. Konnech’s flagship product, PollChief, is used to manage poll worker scheduling, equipment deployment, and logistics in major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Washington D.C., Fairfax County, and St. Louis.
In early 2021, @TrueTheVote‘s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips discovered that Konnech was storing the personally identifiable information (PII) of U.S. election workers, judges, and voters on servers in China. Using open-source tools like Binary Edge, they traced PollChief to Chinese IP addresses—where they found unsecured databases containing names, Social Security numbers, addresses, bank information, voter roll data, polling location schematics, provisional ballot serial numbers, and even passwords for voting machines.
They alerted FBI field offices in Detroit and San Antonio, where agents took the threat seriously and launched a 15-month counterintelligence investigation. But in April 2022—just before the release of Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules, a film on 2020 election fraud featuring True the Vote—FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. intervened and flipped the investigation on its head. Field agents warned Engelbrecht and Phillips that they, not Konnech, were now considered the threat.
Two senior female FBI officials in Washington D.C. were reportedly preparing criminal charges against them rather than Konnech’s CEO Eugene Yu. Engelbrecht was warned she and Phillips might be prosecuted for accessing Konnech’s data on Chinese servers. The FBI even tipped off Konnech about the investigation—compromising the case—and began circulating internal accusations that Phillips had committed cybercrimes, referring those allegations to the CIA and NSA.
Phillips said their goal was to “Roger Stone” him—publicly smear and criminalize him as they had done to Trump allies. In fear for their safety, a field agent advised Engelbrecht and Phillips to take the “nuclear option”—go public. On August 13, 2022, they did just that at The Pit, a closed-door briefing in Arizona with 200 cybersecurity experts, journalists, and election integrity investigators.
Two weeks later, Konnech sued them. In a stunning series of courtroom actions, Engelbrecht and Phillips were jailed and held in solitary confinement—until the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered their immediate release. The FBI stood by and let it happen. After their release, they published thousands of documents exposing Konnech’s ties to China. Within days, Konnech dropped the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, independent researchers quickly pieced together Eugene Yu’s background. Born in China, Jianwei Yu (于建伟) graduated from Zhejiang University in 1982 and worked for the CCP from 1983 to 1985 as a project manager in the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. He moved to the U.S. in 1986 to pursue an MBA at Wake Forest University. In 2002, Yu founded Konnech. By November 2005, he had launched a Chinese subsidiary—Jinhua Yulian Network—funded and overseen by the CCP. That same year, he was profiled as an “overseas scholar” in a Chinese-language publication by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and the American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation (AZKEF). CAST is a formal CCP arm linking Chinese leadership with overseas scientists and technologists. AZKEF, where Yu served on the finance committee, flew U.S. researchers—including Harvard’s Charles Lieber—to Chinese universities.
Lieber was later arrested for failing to disclose his ties to China’s Thousand Talents Plan, one of the CCP’s many programs that recruit foreign experts to encourage the illicit transfer of intellectual property back to China. Konnech’s Chinese ties ran deep. It partnered with Michigan State University’s Confucius Institute, developed software in CCP-run tech parks, and directly served China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
On January 25, 2006, Yu’s Chinese company was accepted into the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Jinhua Science and Technology Park—a CCP-controlled tech incubator. From that point on, Jinhua Yulian Network and Konnech, were financed, developed, and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Just a month later, on February 25, 2006, Yu registered the domain yu-lian .cn for Jinhua Yulian Network using his Konnech email address (eyu@konnech .com). Archived versions of the company’s Chinese-language website show Yu praising “Comrade Jiang Zemin” and the Chinese Communist Party, while promoting Konnech’s software products used by the National People’s Congress, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Election Management Solutions Detroit, and U.S. Overseas Voters.
In December 2006, Konnech partnered with the Confucius Institute to build a Chinese communication platform called ChineseBrief .com. Yu registered CNBrief LLC, launched www.cnbrief .com, and displayed a banner in Chinese that translated to: “Chinese Brief – Overseas Chinese Network.” Confucius Institutes are CCP-funded cultural centers embedded in Western universities that U.S. intelligence agencies and lawmakers have long warned operate under the direction of the CCP. On July 18, 2007, an archived Chinese government website showed Yu offering a 5 million yuan (~$700,000 USD) software development contract on behalf of Jinhua Yulian Network, again using his Konnech email address and website.
The U.S. election software CEO managed the Guangzhou Development Zone, and his Chinese subsidiary developed electronic voting systems for China’s National People’s Congress for nearly two decades.
Do you think Eugene Yu is secretly running Hongzheng Technology? Or, perhaps, could Yu be secretly running Konnech, a voting technology company in America, for the CCP?
An independent journalist published an excellent video report on Konnech CEO Eugene Yu’s connection to Hongzheng Technology. With her Chinese background, Lei independently verified Konnech CEO Eugene Yu’s relation to the Chinese Communist Party’s premier voting technology company Jinhua Hongzheng Technology. [Contains transcript]
I meticulously documented everything I found about Eugene Yu for the last six weeks — and now I’m ready to teach New York Times reporters and FBI agents what I found. It’s super simple!
“Each time I get someone to sign they gave me $200… One day I got like $1200… I did it for like six months… Deborah [Peoples] gave me cash… Stuart [Clegg] gave me cash.
Michigan’s Konnech Inc. registered “hongzhengtech.cn” for a Chinese election technology company partnered with Lenovo, Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, and China’s National People’s Congress.
A deep dive into a Michigan election company’s patents, employees, domain registrations, and internet archives reveals a disturbing Chinese connection.
Konnech Inc., creator of the ‘PollChief’ software used by ‘thousands of Election Offices across North America’ built ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.
“If you haven’t seen the movie 2000 mules — watch it. I don’t think anyone can say that the 2020 election was the freest and fairest in history after watching that.”
This article contains a ton of other info besides the video.
I am hoping the ‘Safe & Secure Election’ trope gets blown sky high very soon! (And Tina Peters is released and vindicated.)
This one is comprehensive in content with a number of links. So it may be TL;dr for some. Be patient. I have made posts for a couple of years on here about this subject. This interview happened just this past week. Key people are now getting up to speed and taking steps to address within the Trump administration. Ignore the title in this O’Keefe interview of Marla Maples – this is about our air being chemically contaminated.
I want to personally thank PAVACA for taking this (among other subjects) on. I appreciate authors and posters bringing other controversial subjects for discussion. None of us are required to agree with the analysis or thoughts about the subject matter, just consider and post your thoughts on subjects of interest. That is how we inform and learn from each other. With that said, I am expanding the discussion on chemtrails.
It agitates my spirit to see critical dangers to our population blown off by otherwise caring and intelligent people.
My FIRE! series was an attempt to draw attention to the systematic use of wildfires and other calamitous events to clear areas for corporate and governmental interests. The properties are ravaged, their subsequent distressed sales to well heeled piranha are virtually guaranteed, and the Build Back Better mission is fulfilled at the expense of the oppressed. Think it through; this has been played out with wildfires alone in America for a couple of centuries.
However, not every geographic area is subject to wildfires. Which leads to the primary subject of today’s rant that ties into chemtrails – hurricanes.
Situation
Why do we know that nuclear war would be bad despite some criminally minded idgits suggesting that nukes could be tactically used without fear? Well, we may have seen videos and photos or read accounts of a very small example of what primitive atomic bombs could do 80 years ago in Japan. The results were horrible. It caused a radical nation of fierce warriors to become quite subdued and averse to international conflicts in the decades that followed. They decided they best surrender and over time become buddies with the folks that dropped them.
So what do we think advanced nuclear weapon technology could do to life on this planet today within seconds of being unleashed? Sort of a no brainer, right? That’s why POTUS Trump and the patriots did what they did to Iran’s nuclear sites. Add in the feat of dropping 15 ton, ground penetrating bombs on a 3′ by 3′ target from high altitude and speed without being detected in a journey from half the world away indicates there must be serious intelligence, planning, technology, and scientific understanding in play.
There (is) may also be similar serious brain power in use that might even know how to seed and enhance a storm. In fact, it (is) may be child’s play to them with the use of some of the world’s most effective computing power over the past 30 years that just so happens to be located in federally staffed and controlled national laboratories and defense installations.
Even so, knowing that technology exists to wipe out all life forms on the planet in short order, many still do not want to believe that atmospheric seeding (weather engineering) was successfully used 65+ years ago by our government. In addition, geoengineering (climate and environment – the latter includes in-ground activities) have been introduced in recent decades here and abroad. If these flat earther type negas did believe they might even conclude more advanced technology and methodologies with chemicals and other contaminants are in development and potentially in use.
Major Paradigm Shift
So while I am ranting and with the subject being related primarily to PAVACA’s article, the evil doers messed up big time with Hurricane Helene. They have lost what support they still had in the southeast from the hillbillies and rednecks. That is a very good thing for America. There were a good number who were raised in the pull the donkey tail family legacy belief system.
Boomerang.
My qualifications for making that statement and other statements you will read stem somewhat from the following personal observations on the ground over the past half century.
I worked relief efforts after Katrina on the gulf coast twenty years ago as some know from my BIMD series. I know how far inland the damages were felt along the MS to LA coast with only an occasional levee to stop its roll on the flat land and swamps. We did not see anything like what we saw at far greater distances inland with Helene. Friends of our family’s in law enforcement live in Thibodaux, about 50 miles from the LA coastline and the storm’s landfall. We know what we know.
Close family members lived through Andrew in Miami-Dade County, FL, so we saw the damage post storm on the beach and flat land in 1992. One of those family members was a general residential and HVAC contractor who owned a dozen rental properties. Also in those days one of my business customers was a general contractor who built and maintained facilities on Homestead Air Force Base; the Base that was nearly a total loss after Andrew hit as a Category 5 with nearly 170 MPH winds. I am well aware of the storm’s impact on it and the surrounding area.
We vacationed in the lowcountry area south of Charleston, SC post-Hugo in 1989. The area we were in had received only a glancing blow of high winds, light flooding and minimal surge as the storm followed the Atlantic gulf stream up the coast to the Charleston area 60 straight line miles away. Family members owned rental properties within an hour’s drive north of its landfall that experienced severe damages. Hugo had developed into a Category 5 in the Caribbean, moving up the coast line along the Atlantic gulf stream before suddenly veering due west into the SC coast around Charleston (Sullivan’s Island) as a Category 3. Despite a storm surge of 10-20′ the effects on many areas of the lowlands from flooding was less than expected as only one area had as much as 8″ of rainfall with most all other areas under 3″. However, significant damage to timber that would be harvested for the construction industry was felt as far as 100 miles inland from SC up into NC.
Even as a teenager my family and I rode out the outer bands of Camille in 1969 in a beach motel while on vacation at the Gulf in Pensacola. A week later we went on to visit New Orleans in its aftermath to see the effects on it and the surrounding flat land and swamps, which was primarily impacted by flooding. We had to drive inland somewhat around the primary affected coastline areas. It made landfall in the same general MS coast area as Katrina.
In fact, in recorded American history per the NOAA and other government sources there are no hurricanes that had the geographic scope and done anywhere near the level of damage that far inland than Helene did; much less that occurred into and on top of a mountain range. Over $200 Billion and counting in hurricane caused damages says something nefarious probably happened even if one adjusts for the current value of money versus past periods.
Some twenty years later and using today’s dollars, Katrina’s financial cost is in the $180 Billion range per the NHC. Helene is already calculated in excess of $200 Billion within the first year which is anticipated to climb to over $300 Billion. It is where the primary damages occurred that reveal the dubious nature of it all. Katrina made its initial landfall near New Orleans before bouncing toward the MS coast. It caused massive property damages as well as deaths due to flooding in the urban area of New Orleans, which is the area where much of the costs arise. In contrast, Helene made landfall in the sparsely populated and developed Big Bend of FL. The major costs associated with Helene’s damages were accumulated over 300 miles away from landfall.
Some might say Katrina might also have been seeded in the Gulf since the tech existed back then. The effects of that storm served a big political purpose for the ushering in of the O’Satan era. Or have you forgotten how the fake news used the FEMA incompetency to beat the drums against W and the GOP?
The anticipated final cost of Helene makes our nation’s past financial commitment to Ukraine’s destruction look like chump change.
Messing With Mother Nature
It is highly probable that the skies have been chemically treated for various purposes for many years. There are many relevant articles available to consider such as the following,
For those who are unaware, I use the website linked below to follow storms during hurricane season. I really do not need Jim Cantore show time weather actors telling me what to expect. The NOAA’s NHC site is also used by nearly all of the weather forecasters to “predict” the related storms. It has a wealth of historical information as well.
I watched Helene with interest at that time since it might affect our annual Fall Frolic to HHI that was scheduled for two weeks later in October. It was a trip we went ahead and took post storm (2 weeks later), driving through much of the affected areas on two different routes going and returning home. I posted on here in openers about the pain in the azz travel that took us through Georgia from the TN border down to Macon and on to Savannah. That was the quickest and safest alternative route since Helene’s floods had wiped out a 12 mile section of I-40 in the gorge at the TN/NC border in addition to many bridges on routes around the gorge in the areas between Knoxville and Asheville.
The wind and tornadoes had uprooted trees and sheered timber for over 100 miles of travel on I-16 from Macon east to Savannah. The fields were full of downed trees and debris. Those that fell on the road had been cleared for travelers, however, they lined the road in stacks the entire way. We had similar observations in areas from the Spartanburg, SC area all the way to Erwin, TN on I-26, which had fortunately reopened to two lanes at the affected bridge areas in Unicoi County, TN. Asheville was an absolute mess, but passable by that time about 5 weeks after the storm. We did not tour east of Asheville, which was extremely hard hit with floods and landslides. Smaller communities were literally washed away. It has been the slowest area for rebuilding due to the magnitude of the destruction and terrain per on-going reporting post storm.
Helene was an Atlantic disturbance that showed little signs of becoming what it did while meandering around in the southern Gulf for days until it suddenly became a high Category 4 that was greater in size than 90% of the past hurricanes to hit America in recorded history per the NHC. It remained an abnormally strong tropical storm long after it passed over land at Perry in the Big Bend and crossed through the middle of GA with the eye still easily discernible as far away as Macon, GA, some 195 straight line miles inland. It then continued across GA into SC and the mountains in SC from east to west, then north into NC and TN.
It spawned dozens of tornadoes along with high straight line wind speeds that destroyed property and untold numbers of trees in its path along with horrific flooding rains that ranged from 15 – 30 inches in many areas. This caused Asheville, NC city streets, highways and bridges to buckle and float down river as it also did in other mountain area communities. The continuous avalanche of water went into TVA dammed lakes, which breached into tributaries, which in turn breached levees and flood control waterways, which then flooded towns anywhere near its path.
Lake Lure in western NC is still having debris removed with water levels kept low. The clean up continues in all of TVA managed lakes and rivers.
None of what I described above is remotely “normal” for even the strongest hurricanes.
Consider that the Asheville, NC MSA population exceeds 400,000 people in a four county area and that it sits at over 2100 feet above sea level. It was well developed with good infrastructure to support its population and the tourism industry. In addition to its elevation we also know that Asheville is about 300 straight line miles from Perry, FL. I have not reviewed every hurricane reported on the NHC site, however, it seems obvious and I would bet that there are none that caused even a fraction of the physical damage in mountains that far away from landfall. Just sayin…
If you are serious about wanting to know what that city faced just in providing water to residents, read the link below.
So how safe do you think drinking well water has been for residents in the affected areas? How about residents down stream into east TN? How safe is the agriculture of soybeans, corn, tomatoes and tobacco that are cash crops for farmers in the areas that were most affected in east TN? It was a $1.3 billion hit to just those farms according to the Department of Agriculture. The DOA has just commissioned research on food safety and land viability for farming in that area. As one of the researchers stated in a TV interview, “There are now rivers where there were none prior to Helene.”
There have been ample articles, photos, and videos issued chronicling the massive destruction in NC, Unicoi County in east TN, and other areas that are still available on the web. There are some more photos within the NHC link of the Helene report below.
It all seems too ridiculous to even consider that the storm was not intentionally enhanced. My personal Bullshit Meter goes off when anybody suggests there is nothing to seeding the atmosphere with chemicals; especially when I read comments like the following that is found in the NHC report on Helene on page 28.
“…Helene marked the first time NHC had forecast a disturbance to become a major hurricane before the system became a tropical cyclone.”
😡
So why was this the “the first time”? Reports have been published since 1958 per the archives. That seems like it was pretty intentional decision if it was the first time they had done it in 66 years.
What happened with Helene is not how hurricanes generally work. Again, the next largest catastrophic hurricane in American history in terms of overall wide affect on land mass was Katrina, which might have been enhanced as well. Flatland population centers were minimal to moderately affected 75-100 straight line miles away. Worked there, saw it. Yet, with Helene a well built metropolitan area 2100′ above sea level 300 miles from storm landfall experienced disastrous effects. Traveled there, saw it.
Below is the archived comprehensive report of the NOAA’s weather scientists and researchers on Helene. You can read archived reports going back decades on hurricanes. They periodically update and revise reports as new information is learned.
I am still trying to mentally digest all of the information in this report. Please pay special attention to wind speeds, rainfall stats and graphs, reconnaissance missions, storm surge, discussions on floods and landslides on the east side of the mountains, and the additional photos.
Current Legislative Situation
The situation in Tennessee as well as in Florida recently, with potentially more states in the future, is that we no longer have chemtrails since legislation was signed into law almost a year ago. Clear skies and naturally occurring clouds now dominate. I have verified that with friends in both the Nashville and Memphis areas as well our east TN area. Will see how it goes in Florida as well as when other states join in with the the clear skies crowd.
That chem trails can be removed from skies at all should reveal something to the less informed.
Another consideration along the depop lines is that there are statistical truths being exposed post storm despite fake news media attention waning. In Helene’s case how could there not be an uptick in the storm’s influence relating to medical conditions of those who live and work in the affected areas; especially when relief workers and related construction workers as well as the general population have experienced significantly greater numbers of health problems due to excessive mold, fungal, and chemically induced infections that cause diseases? See links below.
Could it be that the states of TN and FL have enough sense in their government leaderships to see and care about what has been happening; then have the fortitude to do something about it for their citizens? Since my state started the ball rolling I guess us hillbillies and rednecks may be a bit smarter than the stereotypes suggest. Recent reports on other states jumping on the bandwagon are below,
The hillbillies and rednecks within this 5-6 state region who had not yet accepted that elements within the federal and state governments along with their globalist cabal controlled leadership were willing to indiscriminately kill them, their families, and their neighbors – are no longer all that trusting. In fact, most hate the government now. It runs deep like the effects of the Civil War here in the southeast.
Who they do trust more now are people like the Amish, veterans, and regional relief groups of area residents who have selflessly given of themselves and their resources to help the affected since it happened. They also trust PDT, cabinet and America First MAGA supporters more. All of the groups are still there, nine months later, aiding the affected people quietly and without fanfare.
People have noticed that PDT controlled federal agencies have quietly kicked into high gear on infrastructure projects that have accelerated the rebuild. Thankfully, HUD grants for rebuilding have been forthcoming since the election. But the patriot federal government’s physical resources have been stretched thin by the vermin’s attack on America nationwide.
This situation is just one more reason why the Big Beautiful Bill needed passed. The entire psyche of America changes with the inking of that bill. Politicians that voted against it are traitors to We the People in my book. I will never forget them and teach my grandchildren that as well. If anybody wants perfection in government they will need to wait until/if they go to Heaven. The bill helps We the People overcome the evils within.
Economic considerations arevery pertinent to this rant. Anytime the enemy can spawn widespread fear porn panic and physical destruction a portion of our nation’s revenue stream goes toward its elimination and repair, which weakens the overall economy. State and local governments also lose revenues necessary to provide services citizens demand. The enemy seeks to find and probe as many weaknesses as possible in their attempt to take control of our people, money, and land. That is the motive for doing the dirty. Geoengineering is one their tools to getting that done.
POTUS Trump, cabinet, most GOP elected officials, and all of MAGA are about America and Americans First. They know we cannot be a rising tide to lift other boats if we are being drained. Hence, the Big Beautiful Bill is now the law of the land. The authority and manpower commitment to enforce the laws and fair play has been solidified.
Now To The Helene Conspiracy
I dunno, but the recon flights thingy with Helene sure appears sketchy. Some examples of NOAA/NHC reports on it and other storms are in order.
Linked below is Hurricane Beryl’s report with recon mission flights and other information, data, and graphs. It hit a few months earlier than Helene and was a Category 5 that glanced off the same Mehico’s Yucatan and going into Texas. Page 6 comment:
There is substantial uncertainty about Beryl’s intensity at landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The last Hurricane Hunter mission before this landfall showed that the storm was quickly weakening, with the central pressure rising from near 962 mb to near 971 mb between 0000-0600 UTC 5 July, along with decreasing flight-level and surface winds.
Now look at the recon flight data graph on page 62. So Beryl and other storms of equal and greater intensity in the same area can hit land mass and weaken, but not Helene? Don’t attempt to use different weather and climate factors as the excuse. It doesn’t wash based on history in the archived storm reports. There is a pattern with developing tropical disturbances and cyclones that does not vary all that much during hurricane season, especially when they hit land masses.
Add in any unreported flights by federal and military operations with any of these storms going back to the 1960’s.
Something ain’t right here. They recon the southern Caribbean and Yucatan area to death from every angle while meandering around far away from its eventual “destination” and before it even becomes a named tropical cyclone While a few months before with Beryl they conducted orderly recon on a storm with a normal path that had already been deemed a cyclone followed by hurricane status well before it entered the gulf.
There is the question to consider of whether the planning and experimentation could have been stepped up the year before Helene in 2023 with Hurricane Idalia. That storm started developing in a similar area of the Caribbean south of Cuba and moved west toward the Yucatan before shifting north and becoming a Category 4. As it neared the same Big Bend region of FL it declined to a Category 3 with a storm surge of as high as 12′ and produced 4-10″ of rainfall into south and central GA on an initial similar path as Helene. They had added recon mission flight data graphs beginning in 2023 and Idalia’s is found on page 33.
The path of Idalia remained normal for gulf storms in that region and it progressed northeast toward the Atlantic coastline. The same was true for Milton that formed in the gulf near Mehico after Helene in 2024. It progressed into a Category 4 and made landfall in the Tampa area before quickly moving across the state and out to the Atlantic without turning more northward until it hit the Atlantic gulf stream.
So far I have not found any other hurricanes that made landfall in the FL gulf or Atlantic east coast that turned more north and west over any mountainous terrain, much less with 2.5 feet of rainfall in those mountainous places as Helene did. That Helene followed the path it did and remained a tropical storm over 400 straight line miles inland over the Great Smoky Mountains into east TN to the Kentucky border should at least inspire a healthy curiosity.
Conclusion
It appears to me that something really bad and probably quite intentional happened with Helene. The bread crumbs keep leading in that direction. The timing and storm path weres just too conveniently good for the Dems/RINO’s in particular. The Dems’ Build Back Better initiative, corrupt personal investing practices, federal elections timing and so on suggest the possible existence of foul play. As an example, maybe you missed this pre-election link below.
There will be at least a decade of repercussions relating to infrastructure, property ownership, water supply, and medical challenges of residents. Property insurance premiums have increased dramatically. Proposed property tax increases are on the ballots and pushed by local governments in the area to make up for lost revenues. Businesses and jobs were lost. Recreational areas have been savaged. People lost ownership of homes, land, timber, and farmland. Activities relating to government acquisitions of property, sometimes through imminent domain, along with globalists acquiring mineral rights have all increased significantly per reports in the area.
Oh, that’s right – screw We the People, MAGA, and Trump. Build Back Better. Important minerals including rare earths and potential tourism venues are there. Duh.
This rant has ended, but the story will continue. This isn’t over. There will be a sequel down the road as observations and evidence lead the story. For example we have a horrific Texas storm and flood to cover. However, there are now informed, powerful people who are beginning to wake up.
Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.
Hope all of you had a happy Independence Day. Our elected officials who put We the People first for a change deserve a special note of appreciation. Let them know when you get time.
