Dear MAGA: 20190614 Open Topic

This FREE MARKET SOCIAL MEDIA FRIDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP!

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


And while the most important thing you can do is to be able to tell our President THIS:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!

And you may STILL be able to sign his birthday card!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

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

This video (H/T duchess01) of Parler CEO John Matze talking with The Epoch Times is truly enlightening.

You will feel very good about the future of Parler as a Twitter replacement after you see this video. There is a SOUND commitment on Matze’s part to shunning SOCIALIST solutions and instead embracing FREE MARKET solutions. Conservatives, libertarians, and classic liberals will all find comfort in Matze’s thinking.

Commies – not so much.

We have been asking the question – what should we call media other than “socialist media”? Matze has the answer:

FREE MARKET SOCIAL MEDIA

One of the really amazing moments here is the frank discussion of FAKE NAZIS (actually fake white supremacists, but we’re talking about the same people). Nobody EVER addresses these leftist shills – until now. And speaking of leftist attack dogs, their number one target, Candace Owens is mentioned as well.

Anyway, please enjoy this video!

I will be putting out a couple of articles soon – my long-promised censorship piece, and also one reporting on a fascinating RABBITHOLE that I went down today, and came back with ALTERED HISTORY.

Stay tuned!

So…in real life is her cheerfulness at eleven or twelve?

CM in TN

After watching the video I have unblocked the Saudis that had been following me. Will take a wait and see approach to this. In other words, I will give them a chance and see what they’re all about.

Gail Combs

Sounds like a good move.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…

Mandy

That is SUCH a great movie. We watch it once or twice a year or so.
There was an interview on youtube of Roddy and Keith….they mentioned that the movie pissed SOMEBODY off – as evidenced by how FAST it was pulled out of the theaters.

Mandy

Cannot BELIEVE this – almost like it was meant to be as this vid was uploaded YESTERDAY!
Go to the 9:47 mark – Keith David speaks about how it was PULLED REALLY FAST, they realized it made someone important quite upset….
lol. How WEIRD that someone uploaded that vid just yesterday…and I remembered seeing a similar interview (but I think Roddy was included in the one I saw) and went looking for it to share with y’all.

Gail Combs

Wolfie, perhaps you should do a Parler sign-up thread just as you did for GAB so we know the handles for the members of WQTH.

Sylvia Avery

Thanks, Wolfie. I know you pour your heart and soul into this and it really is appreciate.

Gail Combs

Sweet Dreams Wolfie!

JW in Germany

Thanks for doing a Parler thread. I cannot decide whether there or minds.com—I can only do so many social media platforms at once. I have a full time job and only 24 hours in the day—so I need to utilize my time efficiently without neglecting LIFE (too much)! 😁
Any tips to replace FakeBook and its messenger function? It is a great way for me to keep in touch with family stateside—but I simply do not want to support these fascists anymore.

Gail Combs

From the Vid, it sounds like Parler has some really good features so you might want to check it out as a possible Farcebook replacement.
You can always do what I did to gab. Open an acct and let it lay dormant so you have it in case WQTH gets pulled by Word Unimpressed.

JW in Germany

Thanks Gail. Already got the gab account back when they tried to shut them down by not letting them use the server platform—I think in Australia.
I figured if they are trying to silence them—that is where I need to be. On the other hand, the War is still being fought on the fascist unsocial media front line—so I still use twitter and fb.

JW in Germany

Do any of these new platforms offer a webcam chatting function?

Teagan

Establish and then lay dormant…pretty much what I intend. Just be sure to write all the registration info down.

Linda

I’m not sure when he said this. I saw it in a Twitter meme. But I think it really goes with Wolfie reminding us to pray for POTUS:
“I can keep moving, stay the course, because I can sense the Power of the Almighty, the presence of the prayers and the support of the people like a powerful wind propelling me forward . . . ”
President Donald J Trump

JW in Germany

I want to say thank you, Wolf. Thank you for providing a ‘refuge’ after the ‘Last Refuge’.
I know I whine too much about OT—but there is another reason why that I have not told anybody about.
Back in June of 2015, a personal transition began to happen for me—a substantial part from witnessing the events taking place with the Trump campaign and reading many of the spiritual comments from many of the people that now comment here. Why is this important for me?
My life has been a spiritual roller-coaster born Catholic raised—rebelling against religion in my 20s and 30s—agnostic until my late 40s.
I am a Believer now. That transformation was with the help of many of you all. Yes, I had to recognize the path—but many comments OT, and now here, helped light the path.
Thank you all!
I hope that does not sound too corny—just happens to be the Truth.

CM in TN

Me too JW…I didn’t participate in Church for a long time. I think it helped me too with other posters witnessing about their faith.

JW in Germany

Absolutely! Faith can be contagious—in a good way!

duchess01

Amen and Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! God is Great in His Gifts!
Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
King James Version (KJV)

JW in Germany

My brother always tells me—“read the King James Version.” I am a relative newbie with little knowledge but learning.

Amen goes right there, JW! KJV is the best there is – imho

JW in Germany

Amen!

Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith………(Which comes from God)
(Hebrews 12:2 …Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…)

Eph 2:8 is one of my FAVORITE scriptures.

duchess01

Mine, too, ray – Amen goes right there!

I just got goosebumps reading your last line—the good kind!

Don’t worry Wolf—it was not a tingle up my leg! 🤣

JW, reading that put a smile on my face.
Psalm 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

JW in Germany

Glad I could bring a little bit of Sunshine! 🙂

rayzorbak

Besides Eph 2:8-9….
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
(GOD Saved us….. we do/did not deserve or ask for it just like Saul/Paul)
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(So WE can not claim it is in ANY way by US – ALL by HIM)
See also and understand:
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
(Many do not understand or agree with this theology….. Still it IS)

Marica

Not corny at all!!! MOAR endearing that’s for sure!!!😘

Sylvia Avery

That gives me chills. But there are so many of us praying for him. Imagine the power of that force!!!!!!

Rodney Short

That force is why Hillary lost a rigged election and it is the same force gonna get Donald J Trump re-elected.

Sylvia Avery

I believe this, Rodney.

Rodney Short

Our prayers were answered.

Sylvia Avery

Yes, they were.

Linda

Amen, Rodney! During 2016, it really blew my mind all the prayer groups that were forming online to pray about the election.

Rodney Short

The world was praying.

Gail Combs

It really must have scared the Satanists like Hillary because their leashed dogs are now banning Prayer Groups on line. (Can’t find a link but saw it here a few days ago.)

I have to admit that I am very sad to see Sarah go. Mind you, I’m almost overloaded with So! Much! Winning! — and it is not in my heart to deny her presence from her kids. How can anyone not be glad for her? She’s leaving such great shoes to fill, however.

cthulhu

Tempting though it may be, remember that the Press Secretary rules mandate that no reporter may be bitch-slapped into the next century….

Gail Combs

No bitch-slapping?? Then lets just get to the heavy stuff and Ass Kick those Commie Fake Urinalists to Mercury.

JW in Germany

Executive Order 13875— “The Press Secretary Bitch-Slap Authority”
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Questions from the media should be fair and based on current data and factual events.
Section 2. Enforcement. If EO 13875 Section 1 Policy is violated—the Press Secretary is hereby authorized to Bitch Slap any and all offenders.
Signed President JW In Germany 😎

Sylvia Avery

Sound JUST RIGHT to me!

Sylvia Avery

Is it true PDJT wants her to run for Gov of Arkansas? That would be cool.
Sorry to see her go, too, shes been great. But the job has got to wear a person to a nub and I can’t blame her for wanting to go.

Gail Combs

Yes that is what was tweeted (See page 2 of yesterdays thread)

Sylvia Avery

Thanks, I have a lot of catching up to do.

Sylvia, I have something you may be interested in. Drop me an email with “shovel” in the subject line so you don’t end up in my junk folder:

Sylvia Avery

Ok. I did it.

Teagan

Did you read in current news that Nicole Wallace said she wasn’t sorry to see Sarah leave and that she had refused her to be on her show (actually, didn’t even know Wallace had a show.). It says a LOT more about Wallace than Sarah…what a bottom feeder.
I will never forget nor forgive what she did to Palin….almost as though she was an inside plant to sabotage McCain’s candidacy….hmmmm.

Katie

I agree with everything you wrote Teagan, except delete the word “almost”. No doubt about it…she was there to sabotage Sarah Palin. She was the biggest threat to their globalist plan at the time.

Deplorable Patriot

Here’s a question…who is Nicole Wallace?

churchmouse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolle_Wallace
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolle_Wallace#McCain%E2%80%93Palin_campaign_2008
I was in the US on holiday when the Wallace-Palin thing blew up in October 2008. Fox covered it non-stop, or so it seemed. It was crystal clear that Wallace despised Palin and, according to the reports I saw, did everything she could to sabotage her — even down to her wardrobe choices.

From a Daily Mail article on the two ship attacks, I found the link from one of SD’s articles OT:
U.S. Identifies Iran as Responsible for Two Tanker Ship Attacks in Gulf of Oman Today…
Posted on June 13, 2019
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/06/13/u-s-identifies-iran-as-responsible-for-two-tanker-ship-attacks-in-gulf-of-oman-today/
Daily Mail link:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7136333/Oil-tankers-targeted-explosions-Gulf-Oman.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline
What has happened to ‘reporting’, that they don’t even address the most obvious questions prompted said reporting?
The Altair had been loaded at a port in the Gulf with a petroleum product known as naphtha, and was on its way to the Far East.
The Altair’s cargo was worth more than $30million, according to estimates from trade sources.
Meanwhile, a shipping broker said the Kokuka [(cargo: 25,000 tonnes of methanol)], which flies under Panama’s flag, had suffered an explosion after an ‘outside attack’ which may have involved a magnetic mine.
The company operating the ship, which was heading to Singapore, said the attack had caused ‘damage to the ship’s hull starboard side.’
The Kokuka’s 21 crew were picked up by the nearby Vessel Coastal Ace, leaving the tanker adrift and empty after an engine room fire
.”
Wait… what?!?
So the ship is afloat, in no danger of sinking, but the crew has evacuated, leaving an empty ship worth who knows how much, and a cargo of 25,000 tonnes of methanol worth untold millions, just drifting out into the Indian Ocean?
Am I the only one who thinks that seems strange?
I mean, besides the insurance adjusters?
You gotta be kidding me.
It’s like Christmas in June.
How fast can I get a salvage crew together?
.
One of the crew members was slightly injured in the incident and received first aid on board the Coastal Ace, while the Kokuka’s methanol cargo is said to be intact. ”
Cargo is intact, therefore the ship must also be intact.
Just drifting out into the abyss… a giant tanker ship, loaded with at least 12.5 million dollars worth of methanol… and that’s just one TWO ships abandoned at sea, intact, with full cargo!

michaelh

My guess is that it is unsafe for the crew, their needs came before the ship. Meanwhile, they’ve got their biggest, fastest tugs steaming out there as fast as they can on an intercept course, at 5-8 nauts, depending on the weather conditions…

ozzytrumpster

But if they are completely abandoned by crew the rules of the sea change. It’s now whoever boards it owns it. I think

Gail Combs

The Captian was probably left on board unless they were very afraid another ATTACK would sink the ship. Captains DO NOT ABANDON a SHIP, At least they did not when Hubby’s father was a Merchant Marine Captain. He ferried troops and munitions during WWII…. AND his ship was ARMED.

In World War II, the men of the Merchant Marine suffered the highest casualty rate of any service and were denied veterans benefits until 1988.
https://bizfluent.com/13583785/merchant-marine-veteran-benefits

‘The Captain’s’ ship was almost torpeadoed but he saw the pattern, knew he was targeted and broke formation. He almost got court martialed for it too!

ozzytrumpster

The merchant marine sailors were heroic esp in the Atlantic and the Malta convoys. My understanding is that they took all the crew off,perhaps they feared explosion from the cargo.

A Fortiori

Saw a report that an unexploded mine was attached to the hull, which is why the crew left.

NebraskaFilly

I believe there is a video of the Iranians removing the mine? Not sure if that is the same one that the government released.
Bear in mind, this is The Guardian and I have not read the entire article:
“The US military has released video footage which it says shows an Iranian military patrol boat approaching one of two tankers attacked in the Gulf of Oman, to support the Trump administration’s claims that Iran was responsible.
The blurry black and white footage, taken from the air, shows a small military boat alongside the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous, and someone standing up on the prow of the boat to remove an object from the tanker’s hull. The boat then pulls away from the tanker.
US officials were quoted as saying the boat was an Iranian Revolutionary Guard patrol boat approaching the tanker after it was attacked on Thursday, and the object removed was an unexploded limpet mine. It was unclear whether it was being alleged the Iranian sailors were detaching the mine in order to remove evidence.”

Today is Flag Day, which commemorates the resolution on June 14, 1777 by the Second Continental Congress adopting the Stars and Stripes as the United States flag.comment imagecomment image
I’ll have a 3′ X 5′ flag at the ready to set out on the front deck railing when I wake up from my second sleep.

A bit nippy this morning. Temperature was 40 F. when the flag went out. Nary a breeze.

Far too windy today for me to put my flag out, unfortunately. The holder is plastic and I have already had one break due to the wind.

I have a pretty large but dated collection of resources on this topic, and was planning on posting some of them soon before the busy-ness of this week took over.
This is pretty comprehensive, has some categories I didn’t chase down (don’t use/don’t need). Also has some gaps but that’s expected.
Hardest part, honestly: There’s so much here in one place that it is overwhelming trying to change. You have to be committed to breaking things over a period of time.

If we can keep VSGPOTUS in for two terms, and get the judiciary functioning honestly again, then we may be able to begin to dismantle the damage affirmative action has done in the private sector, and especially in the government sector. Deadwood employees in the bureaucracy are part of our problem. Could save a lot of money getting rid of bad employees whose jobs are protected because they’re minorities…

Tonawanda

Do not intend to make a disruptive comment here, BUT:
I do not smoke. I do not think other people should smoke. I have other bad habits.
Yet smoking does not bother me in the least except in obvious situations. And I have a sympathy for smokers. NOT sympathy for their harassment and stigmatization (although I do have that sort of sympathy also).
I have sympathy for whatever it is that smokers get out of smoking. Whatever it is, is something which makes them very human.
A lifelong friend died of lung cancer after decades of heavy smoking. He was one of those guys everybody wanted to be friends with because of his sense of humor, his understanding, and his ability to make things fun.
He was fully cognizant of what he was doing to himself (and tragically, as it turned out, to his family). He was honest about smoking.
Finally, to get to my point, I actually got a flash of warmth yesterday when I saw Foreman Mike with a cigarette in his presently nicotine stained fingers in Flep’s post. Here was a hard working, determined man smoking for his own reasons.
The massive attack on tobacco came from the communist Clintons, and it was the first time when communists created such a comprehensive and successful attack on freedom and humanity in service of control and criminalization. The Tobacco Narrative had nothing to do with health. Health was the puppies and kittens face of the goal. The goal was to disrupt, shame, marginalize, criminalize, stigmatize, make huge amounts of money, and to get people on board with the need for government to control us.
Maybe that is why I had such a positive reaction to Foreman Mike’s cigarette.

patfrederick

I have to laugh at NY…they want to regulate everything…can’t have plastic bags in the grocery store, but they’re legalizing prostitution. can’t have a big gulp soda, but you can kill your baby whenever you want. can’t smoke or eat a hot dog, but here…smoke some weed with the illegals.

JW in Germany

I have a lot of family in and around the Catskills. My brother tells me that cigarettes are up around $12 or $13 per pack!
I do not believe the DemonRats increase the taxes on cigarettes because they care about smokers’ health and want them to stop. They know that many are heavily addicted and will pay the price (government revenue) for their fix.

patfrederick

right…unless you go to the Casinos–there you can buy them on the “reservation” for a LOT less–and if you buy their generic kind? wow MUCH less…Mother-in-law would come to visit us in PA and then make a side trip to the casinos in nY during the day and buy enough cigarettes for a year and store them in her freezer…

Teagan

Chuckling here about the NY cigarette stories…will add one. A friend’s 95 year old mother, living in upstate NY (alone), has smoked her entire life…and it was the unfiltered, heavy-duty kind (like my father….Camels)
She went to the casinos for quite awhile but for the last several years has been “rolling” her own! Somehow, envisioning a very elderly woman, stubborn as hell, rolling her own ciggies cracks me up.
Friend, who for years refused to “contribute to Mom’s self-distruction” has finally concluded that Mom won’t die from smoking…and, as Hillary says “What difference does it make?”…and now buys cartons along I-95 for her.

rayzorbak

While you are chuckling………………..
As I was smoking outside away from EVERYONE……
A Woman came up to me and began berating me for smoking…..
I replied:
My Grandpa lived to be 105 years old…..
She interrupted saying: “I know, I know, He smoked his whole life, right?”
I replied: NO… He minded his own business!
She walked away 🙂

patfrederick

LOL great response!!!

Teagan

Damn…I can never think of responses like that until 2 hours later!

rayzorbak

To be honest (as usual) 🙂
I had heard that story before…..
It just came to mind at the right time.

pgroup

The political attack on cigarettes (which fund lotsa govt via taxes) has stifled research into the diseases associated with smoking. Your friend likely went to his grave thinking that his smoking CAUSED his lung cancer. You seem to have that belief as well. Yet it is not true, at least in the causative sense.
The numbers (for which I don’t have a link) show that less than 10% of lifetime smokers (20+ years; pack/day) develop lung cancer. No matter how bad smoking is (which it is) for people, it does not cause lung cancer.
Truth is that lung cancer has a genetic component which might be the cause. Current theory is that if you have the genetic predisposition to lung cancer, then smoking can trigger/aggravate it. As genetic research advances, we are learning that much more than we thought is actually controlled or seriously influenced by our genes.
Full disclosure – I am a lifetime smoker (now 71yo; smoker since 15yo) and I have emphysema (which they now call COPD). I spent many years (20+) working in the auto repair industry. I cannot count the times I’ve gotten inundated with noxious fumes and asbestos dust, and God knows what else. To blame everything on smoking is political. Even asbestos defendants (big companies w/ deep pockets) in mesothelioma lawsuits admit that smoking is not related to the cancer.
My sympathies and condolences for your loss. My opinion is to reject the massive propaganda campaign. Follow the money.

Gail Combs

Actually it is a COMBINATION that is a factor.
Asbestos (a VERY USEFUL product) got a bad rap because Asbestos + Cigarrettes cause an increase in cancer.
The mechanism is smoking temporarily paralyzes and then destroys the cillia in the lungs. The lungs are lined with these broom-like hairs called cilia, which clean the lungs moving mucus and particles out of the lungs. If those particles are carcinogenic they are not removed and therefore stay in the lungs and cause damage.
So you need several factors Genetic disposition + Cigarrettes + Carcinogen.
This is why it is really fool hearty to be a chemist or work in a chemical factory AND smoke. (Hubby’s college roomate was a heavy smoker and a chemist and died at 52 for example.)

pgroup

TY for filling in the holes I left in my comment.

Gail Combs

You are very welcome.

Aubergine

Another combination that causes lung cancer is smoking and radon. Radon is another huge cause of lung cancers.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3673501/

Gail Combs

Actually radon LOWERS lung cancer per Dr Petr Beckmann and Dr Robinson (Biochemist) of Access to Energy
Long story short.
Dr Petr Beckmann advocated FOR Nuclear energy. There was a major pissing contest when he pointed out most homes had radioactive Radon NATURALLY from granite. The Rockefeller funded Anti-nuke people then scrambled to tar Radon as dangerous although the original studies showed people from high radon homes had LESS lung cancer.
Somewhere in my Hubby’s Packrat clutter we have the original info but I am NOT going to risk my life looking for it.
There is however THIS:
Radiation Hormesis: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2477686/

….A major bad is banning radioactive drugs by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without due process. This termination was triggered by the press coverage of a gruesome facial cancer and death of a celebrated millionaire, Eben Byers, who overdosed with 1500 vials of Radithor (each had 1 uCi Ra-228 and 1 uCi Ra-226 in 1/2 ounce of water) from 1928 to 1931 (Macklin, 1993). FDA ignored the benefits to thousands of people who took recommended doses.
The bad is: BEIR IV and BEIR VI committees downplayed the epic research of Cohen which proved (p < 0.00001) that home radon reduces lung cancer death rates (Cohen, 1995). They rejected radiation hormesis without providing any studies showing harm from ambient levels of radon. “…in the absence of credible evidence to the contrary, the committee adopted a linear-nonthreshold model for the relationship between radon exposure and lung cancer risk.” (BEIR VI, 1999, p. 6, emphasis added). Cohen’s data (Fig. 3) show the EPA recommendation to reduce home radon levels to less than 4 pCi/l is carcinogenic (Luckey, 1993).
The voluminous BEIR VII provides no solid dose-response data to prove or refute the committee statements (BEIR VII, 2005). The abandonment of scientific principles by national and international radiation protection committees is so bad, it is ugly. A few examples of many deceptions by radiobiologists are provided (Luckey, 2000)….

Aubergine

Interesting. More research needed by me.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I hadn’t heard they were linked in that way!
What I had heard, was that leaving installed asbestos in place was probably less harmful than removing it. (I don’t know for sure if that’s true.)

Deplorable Patriot

That’s the rumor.

Deplorable Patriot

My uncle was a physician. Never smoked to my knowledge. Watched EVERYTHING he ate. exercised, etc. But…he worked at Union Carbide for a couple summers in the 1950s. Died of mesothelioma. Same thing happened to a neighbor whose father worked with asbestos, but didn’t smoke. It is believed she inhaled the fibers on her father’s clothes.
Trivia re smoking: the surgeon who first posited that smoking causes lung cancer, Dr. Evarts Ambrose Graham, died of the disease in 1947. He made the connection that all the lungs he was removing (did the first successful one in 1933) were those of smokers.
Dr. Graham had a device for a study known as the smoking machine that he used on mice. He claimed that in 1946 he looked at the lungs of the mice on the dissecting table and never took another smoke.
Here he is:comment image
By the same token, the Spaniards in the family all smoked for decades, and to my knowledge only one who was from Spain succumbed to lung cancer, although in his case the cause may have been a workplace incident in a zinc foundry.
So, nutrition and genetics play a HUGE role. One relative, who considered bowling exercise, was two months shy of her 100th birthday when she passed away. Talk about a smoker.

Gail Combs

Deplorable Patriot,
I used to play with asbestos as a kid. Dad used to sell it and we had samples all over the house. Also he smoked like a chimney. So did Mom. Neither had any lung problems although Mom was an asthmatic as a kid. I am looking at 70 and my brother is looking at 80. (He smoked but gave it up.)
I still have a nice sample of asbestos in my rock collecton from the mine Dad’s company had.
So yeah an awful lot is genetics. They did find the gene for colon cancer and I was tested and do not have it. Both my parents had colon cancer although neither died of it.

Teagan

At one time, I observed several autopsies and smokers’ lungs were NOT pretty to see….think blackstrap molasses.
Had an acquaintance who was a very overweight, heavy smoker and loved his fine wines…just happened to also be a surgeon. He obviously saw what all those factors did to the body, but last I knew he hadn’t changed any of them.

Deplorable Patriot

An old family friend was a cigar smoker. Gin and vodka drinker. Was 89 when total organ failure took him. One hell of a party after the funeral.

Teagan

Money AND control, in my opinion. Banning plastic straws, the grocery bags, the size of the soda drinks, etc, etc. little by little taking control of daily life. As with all things…positive and negatives and it all comes down to intent. Good for the masses or good for the Masters?
All you have to do is look to Asian countries to see this. I love Japan and visit often, always staying with friends in their homes and keep close connections so I am fortunate to observe every day life and the absolute control over it (that they do not recognize.) However, you also see the positive side…a crowded country so clean, orderly, healthy, educated, almost no crime, etc.
Compare it to the Caribbean islands, Central America…where roadside trash is 4’ high and disease is rampant, high crime and the population illiterate. “Control” is not necessary because they are no threat.
Which is better?

NebraskaFilly

I am another life-long smoker – around 50 years now – it is the ONLY thing to which I have ever been “addicted.” I have always believed that there is a genetic component to all cancers. There are far too many cases where people who smoke cigs for years and years remain quite healthy, while many others who have never smoked a day in their life get lung cancer. And no, second-hand smoke is NOT the culprit! My sister smoked for many, many years (altho she has quit now) and has some of the cleanest lungs her doctor has ever seen.
I also believe the chemtrails have something to do with it as well. TPTB do NOT want us “healthy!”

andyocoregon

On special occasions I enjoy a good, quality cigar, despite the high taxes both federal and local that have been placed upon them. Cigarette smoke makes me nauseous. I smoked cigarettes when I was young, but gave them up at 22 years of age. Later, I found an attraction to cigars. It’s funny and probably relevant that my father was a cigarette smoker who quite cold turkey in his mid 80’s and died at 95 of a brain hemorrhage. My grandfather (his father) smoked cigars frequently. I remember as a little kid asking Dad why Grandpa had to relight his cigar at times whereas Dad’s cigarettes only had to be lit once. 🙂
And a reminder that George Burns smoked cigars both on and off stage. You never saw him without a lit cigar. And he died at 99+ years of age.
So when someone warns me of the dangers of cigar smoking, I just tell them, “George Burns, George Burns, George Burns”. 🙂

(In all seriousness I was kind of disappointed he didn’t quite make it.)

andyocoregon

Another anecdote from the past….
About 15 years ago, I was driving back from a contract job in Yakima, Washington on Oregon’s I-84, a wide open highway. I was in an area with a 55mph speed limit and I had been doing well over 100 mph in a red Ford Taurus.I had slowed a little bit when I saw a mild curve coming up, but still was doing 90+ when I blew past a highway patrol car hidden back in a brushy area just off the highway.
He wrote me a speeding ticket with a fine of $420. I decided to contest it in court, so I appeared on my court date and the cop didn’t show! So, the ticket was dismissed by the judge as though it never happened. Yay!
At that point I pulled a cigar out of my jacket pocket and announced to those around me as I got up to leave that I was going outside to light up a Victory Cigar. Got some laughs. I don’t think the judge heard me since he was way up in the front and I had been seated in the very back of the courtroom.
🙂

NebraskaFilly

WADR, doing 90+ in a 55 mph zone? IMO – you deserved the ticket!

andyocoregon

Oh yeah, I readily admit it. But, as they say, “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. It was a crapshoot and I won the toss. 🙂

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Oregon is fascistic with regards to its speed limits.
Plenty of their highways would be perfectly safe at high speed, yet (so far as I know) they’re still at 65MPH on rural interstates, and 55MPH on everything else, even straight-as-an-arrow desert highways. (And apparently they were still 55 on the interstates when this happened.)
Literally the only difference between many of their highways, and I-80 through Nebraska, is that their state legislature is populated by assholes. Which, you’ll note, has nothing to do with the highway!
Now 90+ could be a different story–that might not have been safe on that stretch of highway. But if he “deserved” (in a moral sense, not a legalistic one) the ticket, it’s not because he went faster than an unreasonably low speed limit.

NebraskaFilly

My point was the 90+ was a bit much, IMO. 75-80 should be the limit, IMO, on interstates (as it is in NE and other states) and NE has now gone to 65 on all State highways. We also shouldn’t forget that they DO have quotas they have to meet every month.
In ’77, I took leave and came home to NE for a visit. I was just going with the flow of traffic on the interstate through Ohio (don’t remember what the limit was at that time – maybe 65 or 70?) and everyone was going about 10 over the limit. I brought this up to the cop who pulled me over and he just grinned and said, “Well, I caught you.” He was even a veteran and STILL didn’t give me a pass! Had to drive into the nearby small town and pay the fine of $60 in cash – no doubt it would have been higher had I been going 90+. Jerk!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yeah, well 90+ I’d certainly agree on–my quibble is with the “in a 55” (a 35 MPH violation) when it should have been “in a 70” at the very least! (No more than a 20 MPH violation).
Indeed. And, in ’77 it might have been the never-to-be-sufficiently-damned double nickel.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

In Montana, during the days of the “Reasonable and Prudent” daylight speed limit, apparently people typically did 85.

This just happened in the UK…the preliminary hearing on Assange’s extradition just concluded:
https://twitter.com/toofik_b/status/1139479107287302144

A Fortiori

Can anyone help a brother out regarding this whole Assange thing? I’m confused.
I believe his coordination with Manning was criminal, and that he needs to pay a price for that.
In addition, I’m thinking he has lots of information that would help American good guys confound and punish various bad guys. And, of course, Assange has a strong incentive to provide American good guys with this information so as to diminish the price he will pay for his work with Manning.
Was there some kind of deal cut here, wherein Assange will provide his information before being extradited to the US? Or are the Brits keeping him from us in order to prevent us from getting this information?

JW in Germany

I feel the same way. Yes, Assange broke the law. On the other hand, I see him as a whistle-blower.
Additionally, in my eyes, he has served time locked up in the embassy for several years, and his health has visibly deteriorated because of it—not to mention the real life danger he is in. Knowledge about Seth Rich and much more……
I know President Trump put on a fantastic one of a kind presidential campaign—but I also believe that Assange played not an insignificant role in getting Our President elected. No way to tell for sure how much.

NebraskaFilly

I consider what TPTB have done – and have been doing for many years – to American citizens by hiding their misdeeds so thoroughly entirely ameliorates his breaking of a law that, IMO, is un-Constitutional anyway. They should NOT be allowed to hide this shit because of arcane and badly abused classification!

JW in Germany

Exactly! That is why I think Assange should get whistle-blower protection. From what I hear—he is being treated well and that he is being protected. Perhaps that was the purpose all along—I think Assange might become very accident prone out on the street—if you catch my drift.

NebraskaFilly

Besides which, he did nothing that the MSM doesn’t do on a regular basis!!!!

memers are the best…another one suggests if the Dems are going to start requiring reparations–only Dems should pay, because Repubs paid with THEIR LIVES when we fought to free the slaves…

Gail Combs

TWO POINTS.
I WANT reparations — A ONE WAY TICKET TO AFRICA and removal of US citizenship. 🤣
WHY are the DemonRats focused on DEAD Slaves instead of ALL THE LIVE SLAVES IN THE USA? Shouldn’t they be FREEING THEM FIRST?
There are MILLIONS of children forced into child sex trafficking every year.
Some say 1 Million a year in the US Alone.
Average victims age is 11 to 14
Approx 80% are women and children bought, sold and imprisoned in the underground sex service industry.
Average life span of a victim is reported to be 7 years (found dead from attack, abuse, HIV and other STD’s, malnutrition, overdose or suicide)
June 2018: Since January 2017 FBI raids across the country arrested nearly 9,500 pedos and child sex traffickers and rescuing around 1,200 children that were in the pipeline to be trafficked. The young child rescued was 2 months old and her sister 5 years old. Both of these children/victims were in cages.
Planned Parenthood AIDS SEX SLAVERY!
Planned Parenthood is making a HUGE profit – yet Planned Parenthood gets HUNDREDS OF MILLION$$$ from US government – which they give back to politicians as bribes, bribes that allow them to CONTINUE to murder infants, sell the infants parts [fetal tissue] and aid the Sex Slavey Industry via the underage abortions and possibly STD treatments for their slaves.

Clinics like Planned Parenthood are required to report suspected sexual abuse. Their continued failure to ensure the safety of clients, specifically minors, is horrific. This failure is why my colleagues & I want an investigation. https://t.co/bVfoHsSQtT
— Sen. James Lankford (@SenatorLankford) June 7, 2018

The average age of entry into child prostitution is 13, and some girls have been subjected to multiple abortions. An encounter with any health care worker should be an opportunity for trafficking victims to get help to escape from slavery. Live Action went undercover to find out how Planned Parenthood would respond to sex traffickers seeking services, including abortions, for their underage sex slaves.
https://www.liveaction.org/what-we-do/investigations/child-sex-trafficking-cover-up/

I was 11 years old when I was forced to have an abortion at a Planned Parenthood. They knew I was 11 because I kept telling them. I thought they would help me. Instead they drugged me and killed my baby. For around $400 they got rid of the evidence that I was being trafficked.
— Pri (@Pedipri) May 16, 2019

This is why I’m trying to get people to wake up. PP exists so that human sex trafficking can exist. Everything else is propaganda. A child sex slave brings in a 1/4 Million a year for their owner.

Jordan Peterson – a new social media to combat anti-Christian bias and censorship by Pinterest and others:

“The relevance of Peterson’s announcement is highlighted by this week’s Pinterest controversy, as Pinterest banned the pro-life organization Live Action after falsely accusing the group of “spreading misinformation” and classifying their content as porn, according to leaked documents.
In an anonymous interview with Project Veritas, the Pinterest leaker also revealed documents showing that the word “Christian” was blocked from Pinterest’s autocomplete search function because it was classified as a “Sensitive 1” term. Other terms under this classification include “shit sandwich,” “cocaine,” and “wetback.”
Just to reiterate, Pinterest classified “Christian” in the same category as foul language, drugs, and racial slurs. The secular-left bias involved here is truly unbelievable.”

Mandy

*nodding*

para59r

Understands the suspicion if your talking about fragmentation of the conservative voice leading to dilution of the conservative voice, however I don’t think that is what is happening here (grants you I could be wrong).
These new platforms are all reporting off of the same stories. Instead I think we are seeing the spread of the conservative voice. You just have more options in how you approach the story. You might think yourself in a well, but the well is connected by conservative thought. Same water in each well. Ground water, conservative voice everywhere.
Grants you its harder to determine the effect of a certain story and you’d have to take a few steps back and look around for that effect but over all it seems the same.
Now if your talking about Parler attracting all those Saudi types, that might be different concern however again theirs is the closed society and by opening it, they’re subjecting themselves to non Islamic voice. We on the other hand are used to open and free expression and capable of making discernment.
Anecdotal story. Short. Happened today. Received my first email from twitter today to come join their platform to unleash the news, even though I’ve been on twitter since just before POTUS won the republican nomination in 2016. I think they are worried.
All said, what would be nice would be if some of these free speech sites adopted a confederate approach and allowed for more cross talk between platforms, (give me some buttons to let me make a single post in more than one place, but as I allude, that would require some confederation on the part of different platforms willing to opt in to that). Some of that seems to be happening, example I can open a story from twitter or epoch or the like from Parler and then comment from there or stay in Parler to make the comment, much like we do here. More confederation would be better though.

Mandy

Wolf, something you said reminded me … did you see the story a few weeks back about the ‘censorship centers?’ The whiny little snowflakes (and of course a few demons, too!) who get their jollies by screeching “OMG he’s racist!” or “OMG she’s a homophobe!” in the hopes of getting individuals silenced/pushed off sites make reports…then the reports go to a ‘center’ and an actual human screener reads what was written….
and the screeners … ARE BEING REDPILLED BY WHAT THEY ARE READING!
What the snowflake whiner meant for evil, GOD turns to GOOD!
Don’t you LOVE when that happens? 🙂

Re the DOE competition
I dabbled in this years ago. From memory, reverse osmosis (RO) requires an osmotic pressure of around 10atm to “squeeze” fresh water through the membranes. Picture a stand pipe going down 120m from ocean surface. Near the bottom of this “bottom capped” pipe you fit a radial array of filters sitting in the ocean water. The pipe is empty to start. There is now a bit more than 10atm pressure differential between the inside of the pipe and the water at the filter array. Freshwater flows into the pipe until there is approx a 20m column of freshwater – meaning that RO pressure stabilisation is reached, and RO flow ceases.
Now all you need to do is pump the freshwater out – as it is removed, RO flow recommences, automatically refilling the pipe. This pump can be driven by old style farm bore-hole “windmills”, or utilising the natural up and down cyclical motion of the wave to drive the same style lift pump. Very low tech solution …
The filter array sits in the ocean, and the higher salinity / more dense “waste” water naturally disperses downwards, or away with any current. You would need to site this in depths of around 130 m plus …
Use submersible “bots” to change filter cartridges. Freshwater is piped back onshore to reservoirs …
So we are simply talking about creating fields of “virtual” boreholes in the ocean, pumping said freshwater to land using wave action plus wind – provided bird slicing can be mitigated. Waste water disperse into the source, the same way that ice flow formation causes saline “waste” water. Onshore de-sal plants operate at higher osmotic pressures since they have on average higher salinity in there saline supply due to the fact that they are pressurising the entire saline supply and have to dump pressurised waste water – they are trying to optimise this loop …
No doubt there is a glaring error here, as it is SO simple that others must have thought about it and spotted the error. Please point out my blind spot. If not, we can submit this as a WQTH submission, and MAKE news 🙂

I’d also point out that President Trump, some time ago, initiated a global push for the LGBT agenda, and several nations where homosexuality was illegal have been pushed by our government into accepting homosexuality. Botswana was in the news earlier this week, and I think I saw something about Brazil just this morning.
Transgenders/homosexuals do not reproduce; as the globalist cabal enforces acceptance of this antiChrist behavior around the world, the population of the planet drops as a result….
Thus, their goal of reduced global population is achieved. And, the global cabal can DENY that THEY had ANYTHING to do with it….which has worked for them in the past, as well….

Decriminalization is a FAR cry from ACTIVELY PROMOTING or decriminalizing child abuse or decriminalizing child sex slavery.
I do not give a darn what two consenting adults do as long as it is not SHOVED IN MY FACE and TAUGHT TO KIDS. I also do not want to see adoption by gays because it screws up the kids aka it is a form of child abuse.

Mandy

I wonder if God favors decriminalization…and if He doesn’t, what His response to our denial of His law might be….
The story of Sodom comes to mind….

Gail Combs

So you are OK with Muslims tossing Gays of buildings?

Mandy

Thanks, Wolf. Adding to your comment re: decrim vs promotion.
I personally like Russia’s approach: the law prohibits the spread of gay propaganda to those under the age of consent.
Re: Gail’s query, I do NOT believe it is the job of the US to enforce OUR views on Muslims, same as I don’t believe it is the job of Muslims to enforce THEIR views on us. That said, as Islam gains more and more ground in the US, it is possible that one day, gays will be at great risk of being tossed off buildings – inside the US.

Gail Combs

“… Christ’s repeated warnings about harming children, or turning them toward immorality, or turning them away from God.
HARM TO THE INNOCENT invokes the wrath of God…..”

As I said I do not care what 2 consenting adults do. HOWEVER I draw the line at ADVERTIZING, PROMOTING and child abuse and that includes gays raising children, teaching children or being scout leaders.
Note that I am an Agnostic but was raised a Christian. Adults are old enough to make choices, including being intentionally EVIL and therefore suffering the consequences. Children are to be protected.

It is worth note:
Not XX and not XY is only one in 1,666 births or 0.06% of the population.
Statistics on the percentage of the population that are homosexual and lesbian

United States
3.8% of Americans are gay
1% of Americans are Bisexual
3%-8% are gay and lesbian
….
1.2% of Australians are gay
….
1.5% of the adult population are gay and bisexual
….
1% of Canadians are gay

So it IS being PROMOTED in the USA. Otherwise you would not get this type of statisitcs.

There has already been a case of a 17 year old winning in court against HER parents.

daughnworks247

Here to announce, I just hit the zenith of my mom career. Oh yeah, walking a little taller this morning. Pulled a rabbit out of a hat!
Son is heading off to spend a weekend with a new girlfriend, but wanted to take a gift.
She’s a geological engineer, just graduated, will return to same univ for her masters in the fall. Son is a senior there, mech engineering. (Older woman, hmmm….)
So, I asked him what she was like. “She’s not the pearl-and-diamond-earring-type mom (He’s done that one before). She’s less frilly, more sporty.” For a brief moment, my mind wandered off…. if he marries this one……. what will happen to all my good china? Snap back to reality. “She’s 5’10”, little older, works out, and has a rock collection, cuz she loves geology.”, he said. We thought about it for a while. “She doesn’t need a vase for her apartment either.”, he had done that one as a housewarming gift. I nodded. Hmmmm…. we kept on thinking. And it hit me.
Haaaaaaaa, because of all our work in the stone biz, our vendors send us pics to confirm blocks…. while they are in the quarries. Years ago, on the side of one pic, I saw a stalactite. It was HUGE. At least 12′ tall. I wanted it and we began the negotiation. Ended up buying another one about 4′ tall for a pond fountain……
Anyway, the vendor sent me a mini-stalactite as a thank-you gift. I retrieved it from the house bar and put it in front of my son,”Whaddaya think?”, I asked him. It’s about a foot tall, pure white, and must weigh about 30lbs. “That used to be in my room!”, he laughed, “Mom……. only you would have a spare stalactite….. hanging around the house.” Perfect gift for her. Son asked me to make a pretty bow. No sweat. Done.
Stalactite is riding in the passenger seat, so he doesn’t smoosh the bow. Easy peasy. And the house is 30lbs lighter! It’s a win-win!

patfrederick

have a feeling she will love it!

Gail Combs

DARN! I want it for MY rock collection. I started when I was six. 🤣 I even made a show cabinet with tilted shelves and recessed lighting but my Ex got that….

daughnworks247

Gail, I have a bottom one, a pool thingy, that you would love. Turned it into a bird bath. Still don’t know what to do with the big stalactite. it’s been sitting by the back stairs for about 10yrs.

Teagan

Not nearly as cool as your stalactite story, daughn, but I too have a rummage in your closets and come up with a great gift story.
We recently had to replace a 18 year old under counter bar fridge. The old one had a paneled door matching all the other woodwork in the room. No such thing made any more..best we could do was a dark glass front ( with a very annoying blue light that cannot be turned off.) It is about 4-5” shorter than the old one leaving a space between it and the counter. Ugly!
Friend, who has become a master woodworker as a retirement hobby, took the now useless wood panel door and made a perfect filler for the space. Beautiful work. Wouldn’t consider any form of payment. As he was working I could see his love of wood and working to make it “say something.”
Like you, Daughn….I had a lightbulb moment. In the storage cabinets in the garage, still there after several moves was a beautiful, hand crafted large wood bowl made out of myrtle wood that was given to me about 50 years ago.
You Oregonians know all about Myrtle wood…only found on the Oregon/California Coast…in the world! Old stories said it was also found in one other location in the Holy Lands, but that was incorrect. It was one of those items, like the stalactite, that has value and you simple wait for the right person at the right time to appreciate it.
So as he was finishing the work, I went out to the garage and came back with the bowl to give him….he was so thrilled and immediately pointed out some of the growth features in the wood. I couldn’t have given him anything better. And, I am delighted to have found a good home for it. As you say…it’s a win-win!
Don’t you love it when that happens!

daughnworks247

What a WONDERFUL moment. Stroke of brilliance. And yes, Myrtle wood is gorgeous. I love it when something is rediscovered and given to a person who genuinely loves it and appreciates it.

“Legal Insurrection has been following the case for two years — since the beginning — and reports that the school’s only defense against a sizable punitive award is to pretend it is poor, despite holding assets that amount to a billion — with a “b” — dollars and despite paying some of its staffers more than a half-million dollars a year:
Oberlin College was so hellbent on getting the message out that their cash liquidity was in such dire straits — as the eight-person jury was figuring out if they wish to add $22.4 million to the school’s legal verdict bill — that they brought out the school’s president, Carmen Twillie Ambar to the stand to tell that part the story.
“We’ve created deficits … and over the next ten years, if this continues, that is unsustainable and we will not exist,” Ambar told the jury. She even indicated the school’s grants — about $60 million a year from the school, and lots of students get those scholarships as only 10% of them pay the full $70,000 a year — were important to preserve as “the accessibility of education” was a key component of the school’s purpose.
However…
The college has more than $1 billion in funds and net assets according to the latest IRS 990 form, an endowment fund that had grown from $440 million to $887 million in the last 20 years, and because of its non-profit status, pays no taxes on any property it owns.
It also had 18 members of their administration making more than $100,00 a year. The president and chief financial officer of the school were both making more than $500,000 a year.

“Japanese Tanker Owner Denies Ship Hit By Mine, Says Crew Saw “Flying Objects” Before Attack
After the video’s release, Iran continued to deny any involvement in the attacks. And perhaps now we know why.
In comments that cast the entire narrative promulgated by the US in doubt, Yutaka Katada, the president of Kokuka Sangyo, the owner and operator of the Kokuka Courageous, said Friday that he doesn’t completely believe Washington’s version of events.
Instead, he said the vessel wasn’t damaged by a mine, but by some kind of projectile, like, say, a torpedo. He called reports of a mine attack “false.” One reason is because a mine doesn’t damage a ship above sea level, like what was seen with the Courageous.
“A mine doesn’t damage a ship above sea level,” said Yutaka Katada, president of Kokuka Sangyo, the owner and operator of the vessel. “We aren’t sure exactly what hit, but it was something flying towards the ship,” he said”

Truly frightening considering the numbers of illegals crossing our southern border from the Congo!!!
“Their flight follows the second recorded Ebola death in Uganda, announced on Wednesday. The victim was an elderly woman, the grandmother of the first recorded Ebola fatality in this outbreak, a five-year-old boy, who traveled into DRC with his family and is believed to have contracted the virus from a Congolese relative. The WHO’s most recent update on Ebola in Uganda says relatives told officials the family traveled to DRC for the funeral of the boy’s grandfather, who died of Ebola. The boy’s younger brother was the second recorded Ebola death in Uganda.
Uganda’s government claims to have imposed strict regulations at border crossings with DRC to prevent the virus from spreading on their side, leaving many wondering how authorities did not identify the family as potential carriers when they came back into Uganda.
“It was not immediately clear how the family members were able to cross the border, where millions of travelers have been screened for Ebola since the outbreak began. WHO [World Health Organization] has advised against travel restrictions,” the Associated Press (AP) reported this week.”

“Hundreds of illegal aliens from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa, which is currently experiencing a massive Ebola virus outbreak, have been dropped off in San Antonio, Texas and hundreds more will arrive in the near future.
A local news reporter looking for French-speaking volunteers to communicate with the individuals made a request on Twitter. “City confirms hundreds of migrants from the Congo have arrived in SA. The city is in desperate need for French-speaking volunteers,” Jaleesa Irizarry of Kens 5 San Antonio wrote on Thursday.”

Where NYC was turned into a dumping ground for the nation’s criminal filth…
We’re like that now..for the world….

pgroup

Marvel Comics released the one-shot The Adventures of Snake Plissken in January 1997. The story takes place sometime between Escape from New York and before his famous Cleveland escape mentioned in Escape from L.A. Snake has robbed Atlanta’s Center for Disease Control of some engineered metaviruses and is looking for buyers in Chicago. Finding himself in a deal that’s really a set-up, he makes his getaway and exacts revenge on the buyer for ratting him out to the United States Police Force.
In the meantime, a government lab has built a robot called A.T.A.C.S. (Autonomous Tracking And Combat System) that can catch criminals by imprinting their personalities upon its program in order to predict and anticipate a specific criminal’s every move. The robot’s first test subject is America’s public enemy number one, Snake Plissken.
After a brief battle, the tide turns when A.T.A.C.S. copies Snake to the point of fully becoming his personality. Now recognizing the government as the enemy, A.T.A.C.S. sides with Snake. Unamused, Snake sucker punches the machine and destroys it. As A.T.A.C.S. shuts down, it can only ask him, “Why?”
Snake just walks off answering, “I don’t need the competition”.

There is so much wrong with this that I can’t believe people are sanctioning it.
— men dressed as women
— in a sexually suggestive way
— dancing suggestively
— for an audience of children
— who are encouraged to watch, approve, and pay money
— in a setting where children are encouraged to learn in a safe environment
This is abuse of those children. We used to protect them from sexual precociousness, but now it’s okay as long as transgenders are involved? Would the librarians and parents approve if a normal gendered person dressed and danced seductively in front of their children? We will not survive this depravity and insanity if it continues.

Rosie Memos has been digging.
Did you know the Chinese hacked both the Obama and McCain campaigns in 2008?
They planted malware that replicated, “an infection chain”.
Obtained position papers, emails, personal correspondence from McCain to the new President of Taiwan.
John Bolton personally called David Plouffe for the Obama campaign and dispatch a team to clean their computers and fight back against the relentless Chinese, “it was like a firefight”.
Trevor Potter, General Counsel to the McCain campaign, remembers it well. They were told “you’ve been compromised” and to “get off the network”.
And the guy who led the FBI investigation under Mueller, ………….. Shawn Henry, who headed up the FBI’s probe of the 2008 attacks as the bureau’s chief of cyberinvestigations. He is now president of Crowdstrike, a computer security firm.
If it took MONTHS to clean up the Obama campaign senior staffer’s comms, why the hell wouldn’t they have expected the Chinese or “Muh Russia” to do it again in 2016.
The entire premise, that Brennan/Comey would be blissfully unaware of the potential for hacking is absurd. Of COURSE they would expect an attempt.
We still have no proof of Russian hacking of DNC or Podesta. But it would make a great cover story, eh?

THIS is a UNITED STATES MARINE. Read the article. THE LINCOLN PD WARNED THE MARINE CORPS ABOUT THIS GUY BEFORE HE WAS ACCEPTED.
Our POLITICALLY CORRECT military…Oh, how far we have fallen…
“Heavily armed Nebraska Marine arrested trying to enter Offutt on May 31
An off-duty Marine from Nebraska was arrested at Offutt Air Force Base two weeks ago after he tried to enter the base with two semi-automatic rifles, a pistol, a silencer, a bump stock, a vest with body armor and a case of ammunition.
Pfc. Ali Al-Kazahg, 22, of Milford, is in custody at Marine Corps Base Hawaii near Honolulu, a Marine spokesman said. Al-Kazahg, a landing support specialist at the Hawaii base, has not been charged The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating.”
“It is illegal to carry weapons at Offutt, aside from authorized members of security forces and certain military retirees. It’s not clear to base authorities whether Al-Kazahg intended to use the weapons to harm people at Offutt, said Lt. Col. William Smith, commander of the 55th Security Forces Squadron.
Al-Kazahg — who was home in Nebraska on leave — was stopped in a pickup truck May 31 at Offutt’s StratCom gate after security guards there saw his name on a law enforcement watchlist of people judged capable of doing harm. A ”be on the lookout” bulletin had been circulated across Nebraska a week earlier by a coalition of federal, state and local agencies tasked with monitoring security threats.
The bulletin, issued May 24 by the Nebraska Information and Analysis Center and later obtained by The World-Herald, said Al-Kazahg told another Marine that he would “shoot up the battalion, starting at the barracks,” if he were disciplined for certain misconduct. According to the bulletin, he also mentioned specific Marines he wanted to target.
The bulletin quoted NCIS as reporting that Al-Kazahg had previously made “suspicious statements” and been reported for “suspicious activity.” It said he had previously “shown various people large amounts of cash” and an online order he had placed for body armor, magazines, weapons parts, holsters and medical supplies, all to be shipped to a Nebraska address.
The bulletin also cited a caution about Al-Kazahg issued by the Lincoln Police Department in 2016 (before he enlisted in the Marine Corps) alleging that he was “dangerous, has an infatuation with guns and violent acts, and has a dislike for law enforcement.”
Al-Kazahg had made no threats specific to Nebraska, the bulletin said.
Al-Kazahg’s vehicle was stopped at the StratCom Gate, on Capehart Road, at 6:39 p.m. May 31. Law enforcement authorities haven’t said why he showed up at Offutt that Friday evening.
Smith said Al-Kazahg presented his military identification card at the gate. The guard who checked the Marine’s credentials saw that they were flagged with a message to detain him and contact the Office of Special Investigation, the Air Force’s investigative agency.
Agents from OSI’s Offutt detachment responded within minutes, Smith said. Al-Kazahg’s pickup was searched, and agents found the weapons and other gear.
Al-Kazahg said little about his intentions to either Offutt guards or OSI agents, Smith said. He was turned over to NCIS, which investigates criminal activity involving the Marine Corps and Navy, about an hour later.
Public records indicate that Al-Kazahg lived in Milford, about 17 miles west of Lincoln. In 2017, he served on the Nebraska Children’s Commission’s Bridge to Independence Advisory Committee, which advises the state on policies to help kids in foster care transition to adulthood.
He joined the Marines on Sept. 11, 2017. After boot camp in San Diego and additional training at Camp Pendleton in California and Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, he was assigned to Marine Corps Base Hawaii in August 2018. A member of the 3rd Marine Logistics Group, his enlistment is up in 2021.
Al-Kazahg’s public social media posts indicate no obvious signs of anger or discontent. There are no mentions of politics or religion.
He has never posted on a four-year-old Twitter account in his name, which has just 10 followers. His Facebook and Instagram pages are private, though a cached copy of his Instagram page shows a number of photos of him posing with military weapons. His images also seem to convey pride in the Marines, his own personal fitness and his Husker heritage.
In one photo, he and another Marine, both in uniform, are holding up a red-and-white Husker “N” flag in front of palm trees. The caption says, “Just two pround (sic) Marines from Nebraska living in Hawaii!”
A second photo shows him posing about six months ago with Dakota Meyer, a former Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor for heroic actions in the Afghanistan War in 2009, with a caption that says they had lunch together.
A third photo shows him at Camp Pendleton last summer holding one military M4 carbine in each hand with a comment that says, “These feel pretty light.”
News videos posted on YouTube show him and other Marines drinking the blood of a freshly killed cobra and eating a scorpion during survival training conducted as part of the military’s Cobra Gold exercise in Thailand earlier this year.
“Drinking the cobra’s blood was pretty fun,” Al-Kazahg said in an interview that was part of the video.
Smith praised his personnel at Offutt for their diligence in quickly detaining Al-Kazahg.
“This was one of those seamless events from start to finish,” he said. “This was an opportunity where we could have saved lives.”
Maj. Gen. Daniel Karbler, U.S. Strategic Command’s chief of staff, went a step further in a post on StratCom’s unclassified internal computer network.
“This service member was out to hurt people,” Karbler said. “Thank a Security Defender next time you come through the gate.”

If they don’t, MAGA is failing and everything is lost …

JasonD

In the sense that a BOLO was issued and he was apprehended before he caused harm.
No one died – the system worked.
I believe the military is already relaxing standards to get new recruits – shit is going to happen.

JasonD

Did you ever read “The Magus” by John Fowles? What Nicholas Urfe experienced was what you are describing, in another context, BUT supercharged by tech. The system is now psychologically weaponised – we have well and truly crossed the threshold into a new age …

JasonD

Not sure you will have the time – it is a thick novel LOL
The basic premise is that a young Pom answers an add to work on a Greek island, he goes exploring and meets a beguiling women and an interesting chap. Things happen ….
Then one day, these people just disappear from the island – Nick is discombobulated totally. He still thinks he loves the chick, but she is nowhere to be found …
He does some detective work, from tracking the original add placement and eventually finds a locale in Switzerland (I think – I read this when I was 19).
He stumbles into an auditorium and sits down, cause the interesting chap is holding court. He discovers that he was the unwitting subject of a psychological examination – what he learns about himself is personally shattering …
The Psych departments in universities have been dissecting humans for a long time. They are now using “Social Media” to push our buttons based on the models they have developed, together with all the data we freely provide …
Basically what you have been saying. John Fowles was an award winning author in the 60’s – they have been all over this stuff since long before then …
Scientific Socialism at its most perverse – or is it, exactly as intended?

JasonD

Yup – those “intellectuals” have really Fowled our nest – sorry for the pun 😉

Cuppa Covfefe

First thing is, his name is Ali Al-Kazahg.
Ali is second only to Mohammed in terms of being a hardcore Moslem.
We need to quit worrying about hurting people’s feelings and other PC Bull$’!+, and serve the best interests of our military, our country, our people, and our future.
So to you fragile (ha) Mohammedans, suck it up, Sirius-cup…
I think most of this ties back to Øbozo. He basically destroyed our military, and purged all of the infos about nefarious forces in and around our military that were seeking to take over.
I hope and PRAY that VSGPDJT and his staff clean this rot out ASAP!!!!!

JasonD

Well, POTUS was mates with Muhammed Ali – it is a bit more complicated than banning names.
You start doing that, America ain’t America anymore. You do not defeat the enemy by adopting their tactics – that is how they change you into them, just a little bit.
America is the land of the Free and the home of the Brave …
In a land like that, shit is going to happen. If you are scared of shit happening, you are neither Free nor Brave.

Cuppa Covfefe

Here’s a few examples for you. It IS a very important FIRST NAME for Moslems. As a surname, it exists mostly for converts to Mohammedanism…
• Al-Ali (The Sublimely Exalted), one of the 99 names of “God” in Islam
• Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the fourth Caliph in Sunni Islam, and the first Imam in most schools of Shia Islam
• Ali ibn Husayn (Zayn al-Abidin), grandson of Ali ibn Abi Talib, fourth infallible Imam in Isma’ili and Twelver Shia Islam
• Ali ibn Musa (ar-Reza), eighth infallible Imam in Shia Islam.
• Ali ibn Muhammad (al-Hadi), tenth infallible Imam in Shia Islam.

JasonD

So you really want to ban people with the those two names being accepted into US armed forces?
It will not happen, IMO. That will reflect an America jumping at shadows. Monitor people based on actionable evidence, that is how your system of justice works.
What other names will be added to the list later on …. ?
Not even remotely constitutional, in my non-expert opinion.

Mandy

You know how conservatives tend to think the military would NEVER fire on Americans?
They damn sure will when the military is no longer COMPRISED OF Americans.
We are in so much trouble….it’s not EVEN funny.

Mandy

I’ve not looked for numbers on how the recruiting is going. I suppose we all saw the stories of how only a TINY FRACTION of Americans would even QUALIFY for military service today…I wonder if this bad dude was accepted in because they’re desperate to find people to serve?
I do believe the US Military is RAPIDLY becoming the laughing stock of the world.
It matters NOT that we spend gazillions of dollars on ‘equipment’ when said equipment DOES NOT EVEN WORK….
The F-35 can’t fly fast for very long, else the TAIL FALLS OFF. Oh, and the ‘stealth coating’ peels off. 25% of pilot billets are UNFILLED. The Ford can’t land planes and can’t load its guns … and it’s already 900 MILLION DOLLARS OVER BUDGET. I recall a story out of … I think it was OK….some of the grunt types were just trying to MOVE a plane and they basically tore the damned tail off the thing, did millions of dollars of damage. Then there was the story last week about the guys at some base in …. I think WY – they are supposed to be monitoring nukes…and got caught drunk and doing LSD. Whole big DRUG RING on the frikken base. SECOND TIME THEY’VE BEEN CAUGHT AT THAT SAME BASE.
It looks like our military is an utter DISASTER.

JasonD

Well, as I said upthread – you will either sort it out, or America is done …
Either MAGA succeeds, or ….. ?
No other super power has survived long term. Is your time over now – or will the American Project persist? Are the commies going to win? THAT is the question. Looks like you think they just may …
I am NOT American, but I am deeply vested in your success. The future hinges on this question BIGLY …

Mandy

“you will either sort it out, or America is done.”
LA has over SIXTY THOUSAND HOMELESS. They, like many OTHER places throughout the nation, are experiencing the rise of deadly diseases (and while those who oppose vaccines are blamed, I believe it is the result of the invasion).
And that invasion continues – at the rate of over a million a year. The border is WIDE OPEN. The founding stock has ALREADY been replaced. Does ANYONE really believe that the country can survive as the US when the people who created it have been annihilated?
There are MAPS to show visitors to San Francisco where the worst POOP streets are.
The ‘justice’ system has been destroyed – from the top down.
Our military is a MESS.
We cannot ‘pay back’ the amount of debt that we owe.
And we’ve not had to worry much about that because of our status as reserve currency but you and I BOTH know that, as no super power has survived long term …. NEITHER has the blessing of reserve status survived long term.
Our people delight in immorality.
You tell me. Is America done?

JasonD

Mandy, I am not a Polyanna by any means.
I do not know, obviously. What you are describing is undeniable. The “Left” don’t even look scared enough, based on what we think is heading THEIR way – they are still far too smug. As if they feel they have already won. And they may well have.
I have other reasons for being optimistic in the long run – but the road is narrow and very bumpy!!
So good on you for injecting a much needed dose of reality – it helps to keep one grounded.
An Awakening is coming – one way or the other -That much I KNOW …

Mandy

Thanks, Jason. 🙂

“It looks like our military is an utter DISASTER.”
____________
Operative word there is…”looks”.
Sure, we’re working the bugs out of some new things.
It has always been thus.
Sure, we’ve got some discipline problems at a few places.
This happens from time to time.
We are just hearing about things like this More these days, because of cyber-media.
What we are ‘not hearing about’…are all the Things That Are Working…and all the Places Where there are No Discipline Problems.

JasonD

Yup, the only data we have access to is the BAD stuff. How about someone puts up a map every time a shit happens to show all the places shit AIN’t happening?
May be an interesting psych experiment. Run regular news and check stress reactions, then run regular news plus what I suggested, and compare reactions.
Nah, no money in it … 🙁

JasonD

A.I. crisis coming? Naval Ravikant vs David Icke or Descartes vs Hobbes
The whole thing is worth watching to get the context, but the AI question is specifically focused on at around 27 min.

He is just kicking azz and taking names. Lemonade stands are legal, free speech on college campuses, lower property taxes, funding teacher pensions in the GREEN, looking out for illegals bringing diseases, etc…
Luv my Gov!! 💕

ForGodandCountry

Outstanding post. Could not agree more if I wanted to. Abbott is (or should be) a VERY strong contender to follow POTUS in 2024, based upon his actions and policy implementations. He is an exceptional Governor.

🦋🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🦋

His Twitter is Outstanding. Look at all the new Conservative laws!!🤩🤩🤩

ForGodandCountry

Ha!
See what I mean?
Abbott is all cattle, no hat.

wow…maybe some of us who’ve been demoralized OT need a psych debriefing O’Here ! 😀
point(s) taken, though.
and..a healthy sense of humor is always a good thing for survival, I always say.

“PROFOUND Announcement”

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I heard it as “what we’ve been doing the last 2 1/2 years.”
Now, “pleasant” is in the eye of the beholder of course….

Our local governments are being taken over by communists/socialists
“By any means necessary”

ForGodandCountry

They better be careful with that “by any means necessary” rhetoric….
….Because getting rid of communists “by any means necessary” is becoming more justified with each passing day.
