Dear KAG: 20190904 Open Thread

Are y’all sure you’re ready? This is a short week, and the hump is more or less not in play.

Well, for those who need a pick me up after a long weekend, here you go.

HI HO! AND AWAY WE GO! Silver, gold and any other precious metal or commodity you and yours wish to trade.

Okay, so here’s the deal. This is the open thread. This is where we all come to get the news that other Q tree inhabitants think is worth knowing and sharing. Please, post links to any “news” stories quoted, and ask for help if you are stumped as to how to do that. We’re a friendly lot. Someone will be with you shortly, and there is no reason to have to press one for English.

Free speech, and the open exchange and hashing out of ideas is not only allowed, but encouraged. If we all don’t use it, we’re going to lose it. A little incivility goes a long way, though. Please, avoid the following if you can help it.

With all luck the Marquess of Queensberry rules will not be needed.

There are a few rules here in the branches of the Q Tree. Our host, Wolfm00n, outlined them in a post on New Years Day. Please, review these rules at least as often as you change the battery in the smoke detector…or at least as often as you are supposed to.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics:

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

Steve suggests we do not point firearms at the nuclear weapons, and I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, requests no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike.

Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions, on the other hand is a moral imperative. You all have seen this one, right?

_____________________________________________________

In the eternal fight against the forces of evil and darkness, unceasing prayer is always needed. From yesterday’s Lectionary.

Fifth Chapter of St. Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians:

Concerning times and seasons, brothers and sisters,
you have no need for anything to be written to you.
For you yourselves know very well
that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night.
When people are saying, “Peace and security,”
then sudden disaster comes upon them,
like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, 
and they will not escape.

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness,
for that day to overtake you like a thief.
For all of you are children of the light 
and children of the day.
We are not of the night or of darkness.
Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do,
but let us stay alert and sober.
For God did not destine us for wrath,
but to gain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep
we may live together with him.
Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up,
as indeed you do.

This seems to be St. Paul’s version of “take the red pill, dude.” Don’t be blind to what is going on around you and oblivious to the dangers of the world and the darkness of the evil that seeks to destroy us all mind body and soul.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

And now, on to the day’s news…..

I was kind of surprised he reacted so strongly.
Funny thing about scuba people.
I used to dive a LOT, had my own tanks, etc. Loved it.
Small community, people know each other, lot of word of mouth recommendations, lot of former military.
I have a feeling we may learn what happened. Not the kind of people who take “no” for an answer.

gil00

The police this am, its just a bad accident, move along, they didnt have air in the tanks, it was mixed(Chluthu said std is air). They were trapped by the fire(no fire extinguishers, no warning). Stinks to me, even if the escape routes were narrow.

daughnworks247

Not really buying it.
I had my own tanks. If refilling onboard, it’s done in a corner of the deck, away from everyone. These were seasoned divers.

gil00

One crew member was asleep, female, the gf of one guy who escaped. Youd think he wouldve fought to get to her. No comments AT ALL coming from them except what was relayed by the grape escape.

WHOLEY CROCK Daughn‼️‼️‼️
You just stirred a really nasty thought.
ADD THEM UP FOLKS!
⭐️ #1. Chinese state-owned Cosco owned Orient Overseas who owned Long Beach port in California! They were forced to sell because of President Trump security concerns.

…In April 2019, Orient Overseas (International) Ltd. announced that it would sell the Long Beach Container Terminal business to a consortium led by Macquarie Infrastructure Partners for $1.78 billion.[24] The federal government demanded the sale of the terminal after a 2018 review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States…
The port has donated millions of dollars to select Southern California wetlands projects, including a $50 million donation to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach…..WIKI)

HMMMmmmm I wonder WHOSE pockets got lined via those donations.
⭐️ #2. From the Port’s website:

The Port of Long Beach is one of the world’s busiest seaports, a leading gateway for trade between the United States and Asia. It supports more than 2.6 million jobs nationally and generates billions of dollars in economic activity each year….
The Port’s loaded containers account for:

1/3 moving through all California ports
1/4 moving through all West Coast ports
nearly 1 in 5 moving through all U.S. ports

http://www.polb.com/about/facts.asp

⭐️ #3 SHIPPING CONTAINERS…

Containerization is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers (also called shipping containers and ISO containers). The containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another— (WIKI)

The New York Times article “The Safety Gap” written by Gardiner Harris on 11/2/2008

….This year, 18.2 million shipments of food, devices, cosmetics and drugs are expected to enter more than 300 U.S. ports; the FDA. had 454 investigators in 2007 — one and a half per port — to scrutinize them..”
China’s leap to one of the biggest suppliers of pharmaceutical ingredients in the world over the last decade [note the date], Generic drug makers in the United States, where price competition is fierce, were the first to seek cheaper drug ingredients…Over the past six years, the F.D.A. has managed to inspect annually an average of just 15 of the 714 Chinese drug plants that export to the United States. At its present pace, the FDA. would need more than 50 years to visit all Chinese plants. By contrast, the FDA. inspects domestic drug plants every 2.7 years …

How many of those Damn Things do you think actually get inspected??? Even OPENNED???
⭐️ #4. SMUGGLING:
Aug 23, 2019 – California Border Patrol at the Los Angeles/Long Beach Seaport intercepted and seized over 52,000 illegal gun parts from China.
LA TIMES Gun-running Long Beach customs agent had 41 machine guns stashed at home
Jan. 11, 2019 Feds seize 1.7 tons of meth, other drugs at Long Beach port

US border officials made the largest methamphetamine drug bust on US soil at the Long Beach port in mid-January. Three shipping containers, intended to be exported to Australia, were filled with speakers stuffed with 3,810 pounds of meth, and also contained 55.9 pounds of cocaine and 11.5 pounds of heroin….
http://republicbroadcasting.org/news/port-of-long-beach-ca-customs-and-border-protection-seized-record-setting-1-7-tons-of-meth-worth-1-29-billion/

⭐️ #5. The website also says “…Long Beach is one of only a handful of ports in North America capable of welcoming these larger ships, thanks to these vital features: Deep-Water Main Channel — one of the deepest on the continent at 76 feet ; Deep-Water Terminals — water depths of 50 feet or more at five of the Port’s six container terminals…” ???SUBMARINES???
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
What if one or more of those divers were snooping around UNDER WATER at Long Beach Port???
What if there were CHINESE SUBS shadowing their container ships? What if divers sighted and even photographed those MILITARY subs???
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Again from the port website:

The Port comprises:

* 3,520 acres of land
* 4,600 acres of water
* 10 piers
* 62 berths
* 68 post-Panamax gantry cranes
*Shipping terminals (22)

* 5 break bulk (automobiles, lumber, steel, iron ore)
* 6 bulk (petroleum coke, salt, gypsum, cement)
* 6 container
* 5 liquid bulk (petroleum)

International ranking

* Long Beach is the second-busiest port in the United States
* Long Beach is the 21st-busiest container cargo port in the world….

I swear, I could write a book about Laguna Beach Port.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it…… and the word “hate” rarely comes out of my mouth.
Worse than a curse word to me, yet appropriate here.

Gail Combs

If I recall correctly, didn’t they find a shipping container full of people at that port too???

Probably many but nothing specific comes to mind.

Among others from the SF Bay Area and Santa Cruz (the city), there was a High School Physics teacher from Fremont CA who died, along with his wife and son (this was reported in the newletter named “Patch”, a local online service). So there are at least three innocent victims from this tragedy.
The fact that the ship became engulfed so quickly is odd, as is the fact that NO ONE other than the crew escaped. It’s hard not to suspect either criminal incompetence, or malfeasance of the highest (really, lowest) order.

mollypitcher5

I don’t have a link but I read that 4 passengers had been found deceased, drowned.
At least 4 escaped the fire..it seems odd really to me that they drowned, all 4 of them. There hasn’t been any reports that these 4 were badly burned and that contributed to their deaths but I guess they may have had smoke inhalation problems that kept them from being able to survive in the water

para59r

Getting here late and going down posts so disregard if you guys have covered this.
Heard those things also. Plus heard the boat had an escape hatch in addition to the entrance below deck. Both were blocked. Not said by what but one can assume fire which means what the fire was on both ends of the boat? Or a physical block, just as unlikely unless done on purpose.
Also video below deck of ship berths show poster size safety signs at each bunk. Something your definitely going to look at when you climb into your bunk not to mention each would of shown the location of fire extinguishers and a boat that size would of likely had more than one, likely several, question then would be if they were filled which they should of been unless these or previous passengers had a fire extinguisher war below deck.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Steve suggests we do not point firearms at the nuclear weapons,

To be completely accurate, I suggested not shooting at them. Of course, just making a habit of not pointing the firearms at this makes it far less likely that an accident will occur.

Deplorable Patriot

Such an engineer. 🙄

Gail Combs

Steve,
You do not point a firearm at ANYTHING (but the ground) that you do not plan to shoot. PERIOD.
Got that drummed into my head at age 4 when Daddy bought a shotgun. I also shot the shotgun at age 4. Cured any desire I might have had to ever touch the thing again too!

Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies
by Roy A. Childs, Jr.
“In short, the Open Society is not enough.”
The Open Society and its Enemies
By Karl Popper
Reviewed by Roy A. Childs, Jr. / Princeton University Press, 1966 / 2 volumes, $3.45 ea. pb, $10 ea. hc
https://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/popper-open-society-its-enemies

. . . Popper’s was one of that brilliant burst of works of the same period that had a similar anti-totalitarian thrust: among others, Paterson’s The God of the Machine, Lane’s The Discovery of Freedom, Rand’s The Fountainhead, Flynn’s As We Go Marching, Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, and Ludwig von Mises’Omnipotent Government and Human Action.
Yet Popper’s Open Society is, of all these, by far the most namby-pamby and anticlimaetic. It begins by wrestling with such giants as Plato, Hegel, and Marx, but concludes with little more than a defense of social democracy, of piecemeal engineering with freedom of discussion and controversy. Brian Magee ably summarizes Popper’s reasons for defending the “Open Society”:
Because he regards living as first and foremost a process of problem-solving he wants societies which are conducive to problem-solving. And because problem-solving calls for the bold propounding of trial solutions which are then subjected to criticism and error elimination, he wants forms of society which permit of the untrammelled assertion of different proposals, followed by criticism, followed by the genuine possibility of change in the light of criticism. Regardless of any moral considerations… he believes that a society organized on such lines will be more effective at solving its problems, and therefore more successful in achieving the aims of its members, than if it were organized on other lines.
Such a society is what Popper takes to be social democracy, entailing the “problem-solving” of piecemeal social engineering.
This social democracy may indeed have once inspired the intellectual elite of the West, seeking (as many were) alternatives to fascism and communism, but today it inspires hardly anyone. And for good reason, for what else is democractic social reconstruction but that postwar system of fine-tuning the economy, the reign of countless redistributive social programs designed by politicians and social scientists to meet those alleged “social needs” that a host of interest groups are pressing upon the political systems of the West as “non-negotiable demands”? Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies have followed Popper’s advice about piecemeal social engineering and democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess. Intervention has been piled upon intervention; regulations have been continually modified in unpredictable ways (Popper advocates such “revisions” in the light of experience); taxation has increased drastically to finance social welfare programs (as has inflation, with its resulting economic fluctuations); and the unhampered market economy, so forcefully defended by Popper’s close friend F.A. Hayek, has been “reformed” out of existence.
“Far more important than the principle of democracy, … even by Popper’s own arguments, is the principle of individual liberty.”

NEW EVIDENCE: THE REAL REASON POPE BENEDICT SUDDENLY ‘RETIRED’ WAS BECAUSE OF END TIMES CABAL HEADED BY SOROS, OBAMA & CLINTON
September 3, 2019
by Geri Ungurean, Now The End Begins
https://www.sgtreport.com/2019/09/new-evidence-emerges-that-the-real-reason-pope-benedict-suddenly-retired-was-because-of-end-times-cabal-headed-by-george-soros-barack-obama-and-hillary-clinton/
Did billionaire speculator George Soros, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and Obama/Clinton adviser John Podesta conspire to overthrow the conservative Pope Benedict XVI and replace him with a radical, Pope Francis? Did they use America’s intelligence agencies, and our nation’s diplomatic machinery, political muscle, and financial power to coerce and blackmail “regime change” in the Roman Catholic Church? Far from being some wild conspiracy theory, there is sound prima facie evidence to indicate that this is a serious effort to expose a political scandal of the highest order, involving flagrant, criminal abuse of power at the top levels of the U.S. government.
WARNING: Send this to your Catholic Friends and Family. Americans need to know the extent of the diabolical EVIL of the LEFT. They need to understand that if the LEFT takes the White House in 2020 – They will resume their plans to destroy America.
It was no accident that I stumbled upon this information today. I know that many of us wondered what really happened to prompt Pope Benedict XVI to step down; and then to have the Jesuit/Marxist Francis take his place.
[Excerpt] Read more at the link above…

Deplorable Patriot

To be blatantly honest, a lot of us figured something was going on somewhat like this. Benedict XVI couldn’t quite herd the cats. Don’t worry. God in the Holy Trinity will take care of it eventually.

duchess01

Agree, DP – God knows – and if He wants us to know – He will reveal it. It just sickens me to discover the lengths to which these evil people will go to advance their agenda.

Deplorable Patriot

They’ve been at it for a couple hundred years, at least. The Vatican Bank was the foot in the door. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., went to Pope Saint Pius X in 1906 or so and asked him to relax the teaching on birth control, and Pius X told him to go pound sand, and put out a scathing encyclical against modernism in 1907. http://w2.vatican.va/content/pius-x/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-x_enc_19070908_pascendi-dominici-gregis.html

duchess01

Oh, my, DP – that is interesting – thanks for posting – some things never change – the attack on God and His Church have been ongoing throughout history – so sad.

Gail Combs

The Holy Roman Empire lasted for 1000 years. During that time the Aristocracy pretty much controlled the Church.
Asanother Treeper said yesterday:
1st Son inherits the title and the LAND
2nd Son goes into the military
3rd Son goes into the Church (and so do excess daughters)
Read Chaucer and his scathing comments about all but the ‘lowly’ village priest.
So WHO controled the translation of the Bible (Remember the discussion about the translation of the Lord’s Prayer.)
Do you REALLY think the Jesus that wrecked havoc in the temple agreed with this?
Devine right of kings:

Romans 13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good.
But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

I would think that some Scribe got very nicely rewarded for inserting that into the translation of the Bible!
So the Aristocracy ruled with an Iron Fist and the Clergy (their brothers) backed them up.
….
In December of 800, Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish king Charlemagne as Emperor. Emperor Francis II dissolved the empire on 6 August 1806, after its defeat by Napoleon at the Battle of Austerlitz.
This is a critical point. During the 50 years between 1756 and 1815 the Aristocracy lost control of their serfs!
1756 – 1763 –The Seven Years’ War (+ French & Indian War)
1776 – American Revolution
1789 – 1799 French Revolution
1803 – 1815 Napoleonic Wars (involving most of Europe)
I mention the Seven Years’ War because Christian Philip Heinrich von Westphalen (1724–92), was the de facto “chief of staff” to Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick during the Seven Years’ War. His Youngest son, Ludwig von Westphalen a YEAR AFTER THE END of the Napoleonic Wars is sent to to Trier Germany where he befriended the JEW, Heinrich Marx. Heinrich is the father of Karl Marx.
A wealthy banker, his mother’s brother Benjamin Philips, financed Marx.

Marx was born into the Jewish business class. His father was a lawyer, for businesses, and he owned vinyards. His maternal grandfather was a textile merchant and banker. His grandmother’s first cousin married Nathan Rothschild, founder of the British branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty. Lion Philips’ brother Benjamin was a “banker and industrialist”. Lion’s son Frederick was a banker.
http://www.discussionist.com/?com=view_post&forum=1015&pid=61017

From WIKI…
….In fact, Ludwig was seen as the mentor and role model of Karl Marx, who referred to him as a “dear fatherly friend”.[1] It was Ludwig who first introduced Marx to the socialist teachings of Saint-Simon.[2] Marx’s dissertation was dedicated to Ludwig….
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So the Aristocracy (and European bankers) lost control of their peasants. Thanks to the Guttenberg Press and thinkers like Martin Luther , a friar and theology professor, the Aristocracy lost control of ‘The Church’ that they had used to control the MINDS of the peasants. (Remember Catholics were not allowed to read the bible until my life time.) So they INVENTED a new method for controling the peasants — COMMUNISM.
Because Christianity has been ‘unchained’ from those who only saw it as a means of control, it is now being attacked.
(Please note Jesus Christ + God =/= MAN controlled churches!)

duchess01

This is so fascinating, Gail – Thanks for posting – I am going to have to set up a file for your posts – appreciate them greatly – you the bestest researcher – you are! Thanks!!!

Deplorable Patriot

Not so fast. I posted a correction from the Catholic perspective a few things. That’s not all, but this is a fight that does little good without a lot of agape and caritas to go with it.

Deplorable Patriot

I was going to let the post slide, but I cannot let this go:
“Remember Catholics were not allowed to read the bible until my life time.”
Catholics have always been free to own and read Scripture. This is a blatant untruth that has been passed down for hundreds of years. And it is not going away any time soon, it seems.
In order to preserve the integrity of Scripture itself from the time St. Jerome actually translated the Vulgate (there is only one regardless of what Anthony Wile thinks) from the Greek and Hebrew in the early 5th century following the Councils of Carthage that determined what books were of Divine nature (397, A.D., presided over by one St. Augustine of Hippo), the copies of the original were hand written in the monasteries. That’s one of the things the monks did, sit all day and copy Scripture. The books were written on velum, which was amazingly expensive – which is why only the wealthy laity owned them, and why the parishes chained them to the ambo. This is also why church goods are – even now – kept under lock and key. They are VALUABLE as they are made of, or at least lined with, precious metals.
With the invention of cotton rag paper, and the Gutenberg press, Gutenberg started printing copies of THE VULGATE, the official Bible of the Catholic Church. This made it affordable for more than just the super wealthy to own them, and suddenly traditional interpretation passed down from the Apostles was chucked for man’s own opinions. Previously, Bible stories were put on frescoes and in stained glass so that the peasants could have access. When Martin Luther put a face to the revolt that had been brewing for at least two hundred years after St. Thomas Aquinas introduced a different thought process in theology thanks to a whisper campaign and a few greedy monarchs, a lot of the great art that served the peasants – who were illiterate – was destroyed.
There’s a lot of things that get repeated about Catholicism that simply is not true. This is one of them. Martin Luther was a tool. He claimed victory, but if you read the transcripts from the Vatican when he was examined, he basically took his toys and went home when he was not able to answer questions.
Oh, and BTW, of his 95 complaints, over half of them were already under discussion in the Vatican, and St. Peters Basilica was not but on the backs and money of peasants, but what we would call today major gifts. That building project is the basis of modern fundraising. The records still exist.

Gail Combs

Deplorable Patriot,
Our neighbors when I was a very little girl were Catholic and sent their girls to a Catholic school. It was back when everything was in Latin.
I only remember it because I was completely shocked. Dad had studied to be a minister (Greek, Latin, Hebrew) so the bible was part of our family and the thought that my two friends were not allowed to read it really puzzled me. (It could have been just that particular area of the USA and only for kids.)
I was also shocked that the girls did not think we were Christian and thought we were completely ignorant of the Bible and Jesus. Major shocks on both sides when Mom helped them with their religious homework that day!

Deplorable Patriot

I’m merely interested in correcting the facts of history. The rest, that’s something else entirely.

Gail Combs

Deplorable Patriot,
If I am wrong about something, I have no problem changing my mind upon being given evidence. So thanks for the correction. (I forgot to say that in my first post as I was dreging up decades old memories.)

Deplorable Patriot

The problem comes in that so many lies were told about Catholics, Church teaching and history over the years, and they get get repeated until they become “fact.” And it’s the same stuff over and over again.
Constantine was not the first pope. St. Peter was. Constantine was a Roman Emperor who legalized the Church, gave us the Lateran property (which is still the seat of the Archdiocese of Rome), and was such a believer that he did not receive any sacraments until an hour before he died to ensure his salvation.
The Council of Trent, which ended in 1563, did not yield a new Church, but was put together to correct the heresies that were running around.
I’ve heard so many things that just aren’t true. “Catholics don’t read the Bible”…ever been to Mass? Every bit of it comes from the Bible. That’s what opened the door for some of the more famous converts who went to Mass one day to prove that we don’t use the Bible. We just use Scripture differently. There is no more precious story to us than the Prodigal Son. Psalms, songs, are put to music, etc.
I’ve even heard Catholics aren’t Christian. Who do these people think is hanging on the Cross?
I will not put down anyone’s faith. There are very sincere people out there who genuinely love Christ and Scripture. Great. But, some of what is believed by others is considered heresy in the Catholic Church, and has been since before the canon of the Bible was closed. It’s that simple. Please, just allow the record to be corrected.

Some news about that started leaking out after the election. They were planning to do an Arab Spring type takeover. I think Podesta even called it the Catholic Spring.
They already had Frances in the Vatican doing their work, so all they needed was a Hillary victory in the US. .The election was a shock to them too.
You are right that “Dora is not going to like this at all”, but I do want to know the truth about what happened.
Thanks for posting Duchess.

duchess01

There is not a person alive who knows for sure – what happened – to Benedict – this is the first I have heard anything that ties these people to something nefarious – at the time – what did I know – my Catholic friends were befuddled – but accepted what they were told – the more I learned about Francis – the more horrified I felt – how could this happen – but, we all kept quiet so as not to be disrespectful – and we prayed.
Luke 12:2
“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”
King James Version (KJV)

Deplorable Patriot

Long ago I learned not to take ANYTHING at face value and that the honor and respect we give people wearing a collar and veil is pretty much unearned. Yes, priests can give absolution and transubstantiate, but they are just as human as anyone else, and just as likely to be cliquish and into creature comforts.

Yes, we trust in God and not in man – we all fall short of the Glory of God – no one is immune to sin – it just irks me these evil people might be responsible for altering the course of history – and quite possibly – the Church – the truth will set us free.

Podesta’s plan for a Catholic Spring:

Deplorable Patriot

Yeah, it failed.
See, back in the 1960s, when the teaching orders all modernized, and are now largely gone, the big time pruning happened. Gradually, other pieces and parts that were and are diseased are either falling off or being pruned. This is a good thing.
What is happening that Podesta and his ilk can only stop if the papacy is in their hands, is the dissolving of the orders that are faithful to tradition (Dominicans, some Carmelites, eastern Benedictans, a few others) and suppressing the actual voices of true Catholicism including lay press. In Catholic media that is not America Magazine (that one is Jesuit), CNS or National Catholic Reporter, there is a lot of consternation over Francis and his maneuvers. Unfortunately for what’s left of the St. Gallen group, and their financiers, the people who remain in the Church aren’t as bamboozled as they think we are.

EXCLUSIVE: The Roots Of Twitter’s Shadowbanning Operation
September 3, 2019
by Peter M. D’Abrosca, Laura Loomer
https://www.sgtreport.com/2019/09/exclusive-the-roots-of-twitters-shadowbanning-operation/
“It’s been exhausting, frankly,” Kathy Shell-Amidon told me. “I’m mad as hell.”
Amidon is a conservative activist. She worked alongside David Rosler, who for a time used the pseudonym Proe Graphique because he worked in the film industry, and created the Tea Party Fire Ants in 2013 to whip up online support for conservative causes. Amidon describes Rosler as a “brilliant strategist.” Now, they’re seeking funding for what Amidon describes as a new genre of exciting 3D Christian movies geared towards Millennials. She has been his associate producer since 2016, but has recently helped organize a series of pro-Trump music rallies, which will soon debut.
Naturally, Amidon has attempted to use social media to bolster her projects. Initially it worked – until Twitter became wise to she and Rosler’s activism, all the way back in 2013.
“Once we found Twitter in 2013, David figured out immediately how to use it as an activist platform,” Amidon said.

NOT just FAKE NEWS …………. EVIL !

Tonawanda

Help! Have noticed a recent upsurge in a previously non-existent literary device, but I cannot figure it out. Brian Cates (whom I respect and admire) frequently inserts [checks card] into his commentary. I noticed other people (maybe influenced by Brian) have started doing this.
Does anybody know what the point of [checks card] is? What is the effect on the reader supposed to be? To me it is just puzzling.

Deplorable Patriot

An example of said literary device would be helpful.

Tonawanda
Tonawanda

I gave an example but it must be in spam.

wheatietoo

I went and looked…and yep, it is.
Sorry Tona, I can’t get it out of there since this is not my thread.
😕😞

Tonawanda

Apparently my link did not work, so I cut this from a Cates post and will paste:
“AOC now pledging to work with [checks card] TED CRUZ to pass a bill banning members of Congress from every becoming lobbyists.
“JUDAS GOATSSSSSSS”
He does this [checks card] a lot, and now others have started doing it too.
I know he is trying to convey something, but wonder what it is.

wheatietoo

Maybe he’s referring to an imaginary ‘card’ that he uses to keep track of her latest remarks/demands?
Just guessing here.

pgroup

Yes! Implies that the person speaking is not familiar with the person he/she is pretending to know.
Also, [ ] is used in movie scripts to indicate a gesture or other physical action that must happen while delivering a specific portion of dialogue.

Deplorable Patriot

Note cards for a presentation would be my guess.

Deplorable Patriot

Stage directions, as it were. [banging head] [waves goodbye] [insert evil laugh here] [SHOT!] That sort of thing.

Tonawanda

TY! I don’t see the point of it, then, but what is important are his insights, not his writing style!

speakn2pabst

I take it to be a comment on predictable actions/sentiments taking place and the [checks card] is an illustration of the need for a memory aid due to the mind numbing routine of what is happening.
“It’s been [checks card] NINE ENTIRE HOURS since Trump tweeted about Baltimore.”
“AOC now pledging to work with [checks card] TED CRUZ to pass a bill banning members of Congress from every becoming lobbyists.
“JUDAS GOATSSSSSSS””

ladypenquin

I believe “Unseen1_unseen” first used it in his tweets. Brian, and a few other conservatives connect with that – difficult to explain, but they’re basically saying, “Yes, checked previous list on this stuff, checked previous talking points, checks previous discussion on this subject”… and here we are again.
A little bit of a reinforcement tool – we’ve seen this before.

ladypenquin

Oh, add “tongue in cheek” interpretation. Unseen is very good with this particular style when he tries to educated through his twitter feed.

Tonawanda

OK, I see. Sort of like: “we have been through this before.” That makes sense.

ladypenquin

I believe Unseen was the first one to use it, and the others have copied from him – they’re all astute conservatives. Quirky is the way I took it, a little bit of sarcasm in there for the lefty reader, and the never-Trumpers who lose sleep.

Deplorable Patriot

Umm…. We were using actions in brackets 20 years ago on Free Republic. It’s been around for a long time. Doesn’t bug me at all. Adds dimension and visuals to the text.

michaelh

I don’t remember the exact term, but it’s a form of rhetorical forgetfulness. Appearing to forget something for rhetorical effect, usually something obvious that draws the audience to in to interject and help, or to give the appearance of being spontaneous. Often ironic or sarcastic.
“And that leads us to the question, who is the most corrupt politician in history?” Uhh, wait, I forgot. Here I’m going to fumble with my notes. Ahh! Here it is! “The Clintons!”
In my family the conversation would have gone something like…
“I know we talked about this… we needed someone to take responsibility for taking out the trash, but who was it?” … “Oh yes! I remember now… the boy was supposed to do it!”
Churchill also used a form of this. He was famous for how he would practice his speeches and memorize them in advance. But he’d also put in intentional places where he would pretend to fumble for just the right word, just the right phrase, and then he’d act like it hit him. He knew he had the right phrase to capture the moment but he wanted to draw his audience in and feel the “Aha!” moment to reinforce what he was saying.

Tonawanda

Got it! Nice explanation!

wheatietoo

I remember this…they called it “The Greenhouse Effect”.
They claimed that ‘increased cloud cover’ would cause a new ice age.
https://twitter.com/RepStevenSmith/status/1169038356765904897?s=20

pgroup

And do you know where that whole Greenhouse Effect came from?
Unbelievable as it may seem, the entire boost of that “science” was from this failed experiment:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2
And you can still visit the place, should you wish to see how millions were spent due the crapspewing done by a few AOCs of that time.
Secret info known by very few: none of the people pushing the experiment had any background in science yet at least one idiot multimillionaire funded it.
And the “success” of that fleecing showed the yellow brick road to the Emerald City (Washington D.C.) treasury disbursement window.

pgroup

OMG! I forgot the juiciest tidbit about Biosphere 2 – Steve Bannon was one of the critics who eventually became part of the management. It’s in the wikipedia article.

Don’t forget the hole in the ozone layer gimmick so HCFC’s had to be regulated HERE $$. Now it is CARBON DIOXIDE.

ONE volcanic eruption releases more CO2 and other gasses than the US produces in a decade. How many volcanoes are there in the world erupting at any one time? These same people who are predicting doom and gloom in 12 years STILL can’t predict where ONE Hurricane will go with any certainty, just 80 miles off our coast, or the weather tomorrow either.

Dora,
At one of my first jobs I used to pass what had been a very old nunnery in Rochester NY every day. They were doing some construction and found the skeleton of a new born baby in the wall….
It made the local papers but probably went no further.

Dora

That’s horrible!
I am on Long Island and I heard nothing about it. They did a good job in keeping it local.
It makes me wonder what might be hiding in the other convents that are no longer being used.

Deplorable Patriot

More details on the history of the place are in order before jumping to conclusions, IMO.

Gail Combs

I know there was one skeleton. I do not remember if there were more. And that the skeleton was in the wall AND a big surprise for everyone.
It is a Carmelite Monastery and it is still in use. But I can not find anything more about that story from 50 years. ago.

The beautiful monastery, modeled on historic Carmelite monasteries in Spain, was constructed specifically to accommodate the Discalced Carmelite way of life. Dedicated as the Monastery of Our Lady and St. Joseph, it provides a “paradise set apart” ….
https://carmelitesofrochester.org/our-history

“formed: 1931 Present chapel built: 1956” So it was only about 25 years old at the time!! (I thought it was a lot older because it was copied from a Spanish monestary)

I just wanted to mention on the Lou Dobson show last night 9/3/2019 he had a story about two US elected officials in China 🇨🇳 talking with Xi about trade with their two states and China in spite of the tariffs in place, I tried to find a link but couldn’t … it’s reprehensible these two puds are doing this against the best interest of the citizens of the United States … they should be removed from office … immediately ..
I’ll go search again, funny thing is I found it but had to come out of my apps .. heh heh … momma said .. ☹️

nikkichico7

A bit of the article, mentions the two puds ..
Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He has called for a group of visiting American lawmakers to “deepen mutual understanding”, saying the year-long trade war was bad for both China and the US.
The meeting between US senators and Liu, China’s top negotiator in trade talks between the countries, followed news that efforts to resume discussions this month may be faltering.
The congressmen, led by Republican senators Steve Daines and David Perdue,
met Hong Kong lawmakers in the United States in August, but there was no information on whether anti-government protests in Hong Kong were raised in their meeting with Chinese officials on Tuesday.
The US slapped tariffs on imports of roughly US$110 billion in Chinese goods on Sunday, the latest escalation in the dispute. US and Chinese officials were reportedly having difficulty scheduling a time to meet after Washington rebuffed Beijing’s demands to hold off on imposing the weekend’s latest round of tariff increases, according to Bloomberg.

The “latest rounds” WERE imposed on Sunday. POTUS affirmed in response to query from press.

The Judge
SEPTEMBER 04, 2019
Acts 10:42-43 And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. 43 Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
While we live on earth, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. However, as our days here draw to a close, and especially at the end of time, He takes His seat as Judge and prepares to reward believers for the good things they did in His name.
I think there is a widespread misconception that God the Father will be our judge. But John 5:22 says, “For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son.” Jesus has been given the right to judge our thoughts and actions.
Christ is an impartial judge. He is not influenced by what others think or say; rather, He determines what is right and good based on His honorable, just standard, which He gives us in His Word. We’ll be stripped of our worthless works—the actions and words we used for selfish ambition or vain conceit. All that will remain are the worthwhile things we thought, said, and did to honor God. These are the valuable parts of our life, for which we will be rewarded.
Reward is the whole point of placing believers before the judgment seat of Jesus Christ. Shame and guilt over past sin and mistaken motivation have no place there (Rom. 8:1). Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Our loving Savior is eager to show us our heavenly treasure.
Christ will expose the real you at the judgment seat by casting away the worthless things you’ve done. What remains will be a man or woman who endeavored to please the Lord. Let us determine to be powerful reflections of our Savior.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

This will be the logic sold to the hardliners – “we will just be sneakier”.
I advised China to do this in a post a couple of days ago. They do NOT need another Tiananmen Square. Nobody needs it. The WORLD doesn’t need it. The *organic* American flags coming out was a really bad sign. THAT is how badly the Hong Kong people hate this extradition idea. I figured that the first American flags were a provocation to create a justification for a massive crackdown, but things escalated quickly into people organically engaging in unpatriotic acts. Hong Kong would turn into a bleed-out wound in China. Who wishes that on an enemy? Not smart. Whoever benefits from that, it’s not anybody on this planet.
This is very similar to Europe, in some ways. “First Wave Globalism” is failing because control is WAY too tight. What should be “clubs” or leagues of nations are now becoming prisons. If greater China was more of a “league”, the autonomy of the parts would ring true, and people would be happy and WANT to be part of it. If all they see is benefit, they stay in without the need to spend a penny to encourage it.
Good to see people being smart.

MASS SHOOTING IN CANADA COMING.

Deplorable Patriot

Eh?

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Ehxactly! 😉
Seriously, Podesta showed up in New Zealand right before their fakey-fake Muslim massacre. I am absolutely certain that was connected. I think the assets for the operation were moved in with that Global Progressive conference that also happened right beforehand.
Based on the success of that psy-op, it would make sense to strike Canada next, only they will likely use real bodies this time, because it’s closer to America and easier to detect fakery. NZ was busted to people like us, meaning it lost impact with too many people, and didn’t work as well as they planned. They need real blood in Canada, sadly.
I hate these people. I will state this right now – if Podesta were in GITMO, the NEXT international mass shooting would not happen. Sadly, the domestic ones would spike, but less than after a Cankles arrest.
We will not get out of this without hundreds, even thousands dead. But if we avoid millions before they call this shit off, then we’re winning.

Share your thoughts on this Wolfie………… (and Podesta is a real EVIL piece of ……….)
Do you think any FIB and/or rogue C_A are involved in these ‘events’ ? Makes sense they would be.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I don’t just think they are – I KNOW they are. But the WHY of this simply has to go “off the table of normal politics”.
In fact, I’m just led off on a huge tangent here, but it’s still important.
I’m starting to see everybody’s motivation – very hazily – once I assembled the hints from Corso into some fuzzy framework of what the hell is going on.
It’s easy for me to get angry and emote about dead “exemplary” random people who are functioning like executed hostages. It’s harder to see WHY people would do this, or more technically allow this to happen. Even harder when one sees that the alternative is kinda the same thing with different rules.
What is happening is extremely complex. There is now an ISSUE that our ability to deal with the complexity is actually limited by our LANGUAGE. So if you’re starting to see where the “assumed necessity” of this “transhuman” stuff arises – well, there you go. It’s becoming clear to me that the biggest treasure / danger in the 1947 skyfall wasn’t the laser / particle beam / whatever – it was the headband.
We found a “Mister Microphone” we may have been a bit unprepared to operate properly.
Back to the politics.
The “global delegitimization” and targeting of our choice of President is the core issue here. And ultimately this is because the US and Russian militaries have pushed back and continue to push back on exo (and higher) realities nobody wants to talk about, but Truman and Ike knew that we DID need to talk about – eventually.
People (using the term very broadly) have different stakes in the game, different “rightful claims” – it gets messy. And each one of those positions is “artfully dealing” with hidden agendas, motivations, etc. Not all bad – just….. there.
DISARMING the planet at all levels is a core issue on the surface. To me, that’s a false front issue for deeper ones.
Stated as well as I can, there are many choices / bifurcations of higher intelligence that reflect the fundamental symmetries of creation, and there seems to be some disagreement and politics about where we fit into the bigger project – which is not to say that this was unexpected.
Don’t pull out your Bible just yet, but…. yeah.
Our recently encouraged separation of understanding of the material and spiritual appears not to be serving us well, which was likely the intention, but that was intended, too.
Complicated business. 😉 😀
One of the smartest Christian perspectives I ever heard – from a pastor who had one of the best Christian
perspectives on Judaism I ever heard, noted that Greek adoption of what was essentially a Jewish sect was a critical spiritual advancement of the planet in the uncanny trajectory of Christianity. At the time, I thought it funny that they tossed their complex Greek theology, already adopted by the Romans, into the trash, when it seems to have served them so well.
I do think they made the right choice on upgrading, but their old theology is certainly a nice analog of what it’s like to deal with the COMPLEXITY of higher / lesser and lesser / higher spiritual / worldly powers. So pulling it out of the trash as a kind of comparative plaintext, to go along with the OT as a primary document, makes sense (although one must be careful – VERY). It’s also a handy knock-knock-on-the-noggin stick when people start saying “b-b-b-but that’s just the B-B-B-Bible – you’re just sayin’ that stuff becuz it’s Christian!” Well, maybe certain truths are more pervasive than we thought. And we can admit that AND logic still allows us to pick RIGHTER and BETTER, and lets us accept that TRUTH is independent of who says it, and THAT is part of why God is God and we’re not.
Sorry that sounds like talking in riddles. THAT is actually part of the problem. Stuff starts having to sound that way.
“Memes are important.” -Q
Possibly the most understated big truth in the history of mankind!!! LOL!

Thanks for your reply Wolfie……….. a little serendipity here, I ‘actually’ get a lot of what you’re talkin’ about here.

I remember reading that there had been a whistle-blower who went to the IG with the Comey memos – all 7 of them. The person wasn’t named. Brian’s thread speculates on who, but note that Brian places the time the IG got the memos as mid-May, 2017, within two weeks of Comey’s firing. 🙂

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Every American civilian body killed by the FBI to get their little gun control passed needs to hang around Comey’s neck when he is put to death in GITMO.
A fucking GLOBAL CRIMINAL headed our FBI. The thought is frightening.
The FBI’s method of getting bills into Congress for their “friends” is an AFFRONT TO HUMANITY.

I don’t see it, but I can’t control that as it’s not my post and I’m not the one with the main controls.

phoenixrising37

sorry… Wolf just explained that to me, and he took care of it.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

DP can’t fix it – only Trumpismine and I can do that.
What I did was change the publication date to 12:01 AM tomorrow morning.
To do that, enter EDIT of the post in any way that WP gives access, then put the cursor in the title, to get access to the publishing time in the right-hand panel. Adjust the time if needed (not needed now) and SCHEDULE the post.
NOW, after editing, just hit the button to SCHEDULE instead of PUBLISH. If you make changes and don’t SCHEDULE, it goes back into DRAFTS for the author.
The post still needs a TITLE of the usual form! 😀

Deplorable Patriot

BTW, the 9-11 post is not scheduled and I don’t see a way to do that.
I think what happens is if the post is saved as a draft, and not scheduled when it is created, the scheduling option disappears. I’m going to do up 9-18 and 9-25 later today, and I bet anything that’s the case.

I’m still with the RR support group because he’s right about getting a case into court – only with the evidence solid enough to believe one can get a conviction. Yes, I believe laws were broken, and they have evidence, but they have to make sure they have all the evidence to make it as tight as possible. Letting Comey off (for now) on the leaking, was small potatoes compared to the big stuff, like conspiracy to interfere in federal elections, plant false evidence, entrap a presidential candidate, and then to take down a sitting president.
I’d love to RICO violations capture the lot of them – all they have to do is follow the money.
Rosenstein has been downright chatty lately. Prelude of things to come?

TheseTruths

I agree with what you said, but I don’t like those “grounds for prosecution.” According to that, there has to have been a federal offense (check ✔︎), and prosecution should commence UNLESS the prosecution “would serve no substantial federal interest.” That sounds like a completely subjective judgment call to me.
And #3 says the prosecution should commence “unless there exists an adequate non-criminal alternative to prosecution,” which sounds like slaps on the wrist like firing, losing a pension, etc. I hope I’m mistaken about that.
I know this, though: If people like Comey are proven to have not only violated the law but also been involved in affecting our elections and then taking down our president, and he gets “an adequate non-criminal alternative to prosecution,” there will be riots in the streets and the Republican Party will lose all the ground it has gained. It could even affect the 2020 election for Pres. Trump. Justice had better be served.

Lamborghini reveals its first hybrid supercar: The Siancomment image
Ahead of its official Frankfurt Auto show debut, Lamborghini has revealed the Sian, the Italian supercar maker’s first hybrid vehicle.
Sian means flash of lightning in the Sant’Agata automaker’s Bolognese Italian dialect — an apt name for a car that’s also the company’s most powerful creation.
The Sian’s heart is the same 6.5-liter V12 engine used in the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ with an added twist — electricity.
The new Lamborghini employs a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to add 34 electric horsepower into the mix, bringing the total to 819 horsepower. Those numbers also turn the new Sian into the most powerful production Lamborghini ever, beating the 770 horsepower SVJ.

Nothing wrong with that, IMO. It’s another example of private industry using R & D to make technological improvements to their product line.
Acura’s latest generation NSX model has been a hybrid for a couple of years now. And it works perfectly. My next door neighbor has one. Extremely fast and flawless handling. He actually races it at Portland International Raceway.

Deplorable Patriot

Umm, in some places that has actually happened in Catholic schools. If they are concealed, they cannot be seen, of course, but the late Fr. Gabriel Amorth, the Church’s chief exorcist, said that the books were glorifying witchcraft after the third one. Prior to that he shrugged them off. Some traditionalist Catholics cheered when he said that.
Really, if you know how the world works, Jo Rowling did the same thing the author of the Hunger Games did: put what happens in the real world in a fictional one. Book V in the Harry Potter series is pretty blatant about it. That’s one of the reasons why I think parents should read the books WITH their kids.

duchess01

Children are very impressionable – they see these books as representing an ‘insignificant’ child fighting back – at least – that is how this series was perceived early on – since it was fiction – no one even worried about the ‘witchcraft’ part – much like the good Father did – an exorcist should have known better – I think –
This was the biggest farce ever perpetrated on children in my lifetime – agree parents should be front and center on what their children read.

Cuppa Covfefe

Those books present real witchcraft, and even live spells, which have been modified. They are an abomination, and a risk to the spiritual health and future of anyone who reads them. Both crossroad.to and cuttingedge.org have articles about the books, with input from former members of the occult (now Christians), explaining what is really going on there.
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/007/harry-links.htm
http://www.crossroad.to/ask-peter/hp-overview-1.htm and
http://www.crossroad.to/ask-peter/phoenix-overview.htm
https://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1390.cfm
https://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1568.cfm
It’s well worth the time to read these articles and drill down through the links. Witchcraft is expressly forbidden in the Bible. Why should we support or legitimize it, though it be disguised as mindless pablum for our children, who are at the most impressionable age(s), and least able to resist the siren call of Rowling’s evil?

duchess01

People have been dumbed-down, Cuppa – say the word – fiction – it does not conjure up any outrage – almost as if it is safe – as Christians we should know better – books – entertainment – video games – and the like – are dangerous for our children – we need to keep abreast of whatever is offered to them – this was supposed to be fun – and now – the truth has come out.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. The operative word is “discernment”.
Somehow, in the back of my mind, I hear a John Macarthur sermon, or perhaps a Charles Spurgeon or Chuck Swindoll one.
But discernment is not just spiritual; it touches every aspect of our lives and our being. And those without discernment are liable to be fooled or cheated most of the time.
Funny thing, I think it’s (obviously) no accident that “doubting Thomas” was included amongst the Apostles. We really DO need to proof things before we accept or trust them.
Anymore, skeptics are labelled “deniers”; just another tool of the left to marginalize a positive, indeed valuable trait.

duchess01

The left get everything backwards – how they were taught to see the world.

piper567

Deplorable, I read a really good book recently: Echoes of Eden, by Jerram Barrs, which talks of many familiar Authors: CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Jane Austin, Shakespeare, and yes, J Rowling.
For those who may be interested, Barrs, a Christian, has many interesting motifs he explores in discussing these Authors and their work.

Guess that’s why Fergie is taking Andrew to Gibraltar ………… to escape the papparazzi
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-09-04/lawyer-epsteins-madam-says-hundreds-names-contained-upcoming-records-dump
“An attorney for Jeffrey Epstein confidant (and alleged groomer) Ghislaine Maxwell told a judge on Wednesday that there are “hundreds” of people named in what is expected to be approximately 2,000 pages of documents ordered unsealed by the federal appeals court in New York, according to Bloomberg.”

Deplorable Patriot

Enty over at CDAN has had a few blinds about it. Fergie’s going to stand by her man. I would imagine it won’t happen before Prince Phillip dies, though.

phoenixrising37

Even though divorced, she maintains (with Queen’s permission) residence at the palace, right (initially to be close to the children, but also because she was left almost penniless after the divorce… royalty apparently doesn’t part w/ anything!)?
I’m not clear about what you’re saying here:
I would imagine it won’t happen before Prince Phillip dies, though.
Are you sayin’ they may remarry?

Deplorable Patriot

Prince Phillip kicked Fergie out of the family, essentially. The Queen intervened.
Prince Phillip is not well. Word is the Abbey choir is prepping for a royal funeral and it is assumed it is his.
Will they remarry? I have no idea. But when the $#!+ hits the fan, she’ll be with him.

Thanks for the background on relationship w/ Prince Philip……. as well as health of PP … I’ve read he is dying. And yes, I agree about her standing by Andrew. She ALWAYS has.

Yeah ELMI should let her ridiculous turban collection go to the thrift store. Her “modesty” is shot.

phoenixrising37

Have you seen her w/out a turban? She’s almost bald……………..
She’s not religious………… just self-motivated, greedy is the word I’m looking for, right?

phoenixrising37

I like that you use her correct surname……….. her papa committed a crime, attaching himself and children to another family in order to gain entry into USA as a refugee…………..

mollypitcher5

lol, I’m not even certain that Elmi is her correct legal name but it sure isn’t Omar!

phoenixrising37

Hey, you’re right ! We can’t be SURE about anything about her, can we ? Smart cookie you are !

Concerned Virginian

Since “OMAR” ELMI’s current legal husband (in Islamic Law and also in American civil law) has filed for divorce against her, this leaves “OMAR” ELMI open to Sharia Law for adultery — which punishments include STONING of the parties involved (meaning herself AND her lover).
But you can betcha that “OMAR” ELMI , safely in the United States, will escape the justice of Sharia Law while ALSO denying under American civil law, the entire situation.
Meanwhile, wonder what CAIR will weigh in on this? CAIR can’t charge her legal Muslim husband with “discrimination” or “lying” under Sharia Law; and this is reinforced by the fact that HE filed against her.
My opinion: Dr. Beth Mynett better start watching her back. And that of her13 year old child she had with Mynett.

mollypitcher5

It is a sticky situation. The recent honor killing for far less than an affair was spun into a “toxic male” scenario by her pal Tlaib.
I totally agree that Dr Mynett and son should be very careful…and for that matter Tim Mynett too..his involvement has caused the faux morals of islam to be exposed.
How will CAIR prop up their favorite infiltrator or will they ignore?

According to FEC reports, Omar has received $8,500 in donations from Apple employees, and $7150 from Google employees, her two top donors.
As of date, Omar has raised a little over $1.4 million for her re-election campaign, and has already spent $539,315 of it, a large portion of which has reportedly been given to Tim Mynett,
Luckily, for Omar, who is arguably the most scandal plagued first term Congresswoman in US history, the big tech social media companies, including Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter, all control the search engine algorithms.
In 2018, before Omar was elected to office, Apple used a Time Magazine photo of Ilhan Omar to promote a the new iPhone.
The use of Omar’s picture in an Apple presentation wasn’t random. The act of using an image to promote a product or vice versa is called “product placement”,

LEO ARE red pilled. Did you mean the general population? Thats who needs a red pill.
What this does is continue to erode protection for police. In doing so, police are LESS LIKELY to engage, esp in CA. The democrats have made most basic crime not illegal, an infraction, only diversion, etc. They also have a very anti law enforcement agenda. This will be miscontrued as encouraged to commit acts against police bc people are stupid and dont read.
You want apathetic cops, lazy cops, corrupt cops? All the good ones will retire, leave the state, or quit law enforcement. Thry actually have been here pretty fast, esp with major pushing for diversity hires above COMPETENCY(see the Lancaster deputy who faked the shooting).
The public better WAKE THE F UP. Newsom is an evil man.

Yes, instead of playing cops and robbers they have to play cops and prosecutors. I think we saw that with the Smollett fiasco as well.
It just tells you how high up the corruption goes when the cops no longer rate to be on the take, while the prosecutors get all the corruption dollars.
I’m sure it’s more economical that way since instead of paying off a lot cops you just pay off a couple of prosecutors. Must be a Soros idea, what with him buying all these city DA’s.

In the heavily Hispanic city of El Paso on Saturday, a gunman killed 22 people at a Walmart store. Authorities have cited a lengthy anti-immigrant manifesto, apparently posted on 8chan by the suspect, as evidence the bloodshed was racially motivated.
________________________
Looks as if they’ll be gunning for Watkins about the site “condoning violence” and not having “safeguards” in place (meaning they can’t control it). Meanwhile, social media platforms allow Islamic and other hate speech while banning conservatives — hypocrites and haters of America that they are. (In my opinion, if you’re advocating against the Bill of Rights, you’re working against America.)
I hope it goes well. I expect him to be fully prepared for all the hype and baloney.

Very familiar with Bennie Thompson. He is the Congressman in the district next to mine. His district snakes close to us so we see him at times.
Traditional old line politician.
Glad hander, never met a stranger, but without direction or conviction.
Seems he has jumped on the hate Trump train.

Minor details – the ‘manifesto’ was posted on Instagram, not 8chan.

And the NZ ‘attack’ on the mosque was on facebook IIRC. 8 Chan always got it 2nd hand.

The 4 functions of Q
We are coming to the end of summer, with the Labor Day holiday weekend now in the past. The evenings will grow darker and cooler, people will return indoors, and the TV screen will regain their attention. The collective consciousness will turn back to the business of government — and criminal justice.
Senator Graham has made a formal request to Attorney General Barr for him to declassify the material related to the illegal spying on the Trump administration. This Spygate scandal is finally going to hit the public realm, exposing the corrupt alliance between the DNC, a compromised justice system, and the crooked mass media.
This sets up a cascade of revelations of high-level criminality — together with further media complicity to cover it up. This collusion includes both the mass published media, as well as social media platforms. YouTube, Facebook and Twitter masquerade as neutral communications services, but are really illegal gatekeepers of information.
This denouement to the scandal was long anticipated: a collapse of credibility of the media institutions that are meant to support the free flow of information and hold power to account. It is a crisis of trust the like of which has never been encountered before.
This is where the Q operation comes in: we have had nearly two years of preparation for this moment. Citizen journalists and alternative media are already taking up the mantle of reliable and truthful sources, overtaking the discredited corporate mass media in both audience size and engagement.
I was recently asked to summarise “what is Q?”, and came up with four core functions that this military intelligence program implements for these extraordinary times.
1. Q is a multi-year process to disclose secret illegal government activity
There are over 3500 “drops” by Q to date, but the core tale of corruption is told in the first 100. Anybody can go read them in an hour or so. The very uncomfortable truth is that the US Government has long been beholden to an institutionalised system of transnational crime, that has also hijacked many other countries.
Q gave open source researchers a framework in which to “dig” for data on this system of criminality. The belief that Hillary Clinton — essentially a puppet of that system — could not lose the 2016 election had made them careless, and left an extensive public evidence trail. The result is a vast trove of vetted data collated by anonymous citizens working in collaboration worldwide.
To say that what has been uncovered is disturbing is to miss the point: not only are many “conspiracy theories” true, they are interlinked as part of a single plan to destroy freedom and bring on global totalitarian rule. Your worst nightmares of betrayal and genocide were being actively implemented — by those who had sworn to serve you.
Specifically, Obama was not a legitimate President, and every part of his legacy will be dismantled. He is the greatest political fraud ever perpetrated, and that is against some stuff competition from his predecessors. Hillary Clinton was meant to be a continuation of that fraud to its destructive conclusion. The corporate media have known this all along, and exposure of the plot will destroy them.
At the heart of this psychopathic system of criminal power is the multi-generational abuse of children, tied to an ancient sex and death cult. Government by occult forces seems like science fiction, but it turns out to be the world we live in. Understanding this ugly reality is the key to ending the evil that it perpetuates.
2. Q is a prophylactic against civil war and vigilante activity
The last two years have seen a nonstop battle between the mainstream and alternative media for “narrative supremacy”. It has involved the mass media pushing the Russiagate hoax, which now lies broken and exposed as a fabricated and paid-for lie.
The mass media had to attempt to unseat President Trump in order to preserve themselves. Whilst the attempted coup it represents is very serious, in many ways this has proven to be a distraction. The public has been kept engaged — and dare I say even entertained — with this drama, whilst the painstaking process of cleaning up the justice system has quietly taken place in the background.
Q has given activists for justice a focus that they otherwise would have lacked. Q has offered an angry public hope — grounded in practical progress — of a peaceful outcome using the lawful system of civilian and military justice. For the real challenge is not arraigning the traitors, but doing so in a way that doesn’t cause society to collapse.
As the treason of many trusted politicians, business leaders, and military personnel is now revealed, there is an established Q movement with a track record of peaceful investigation of the truth, rather than vigilante activity seeking revenge. The collapse of trust in the mass media — who covered for these crimes — will not leave a vacuum for troublemakers to occupy.
The Q drops demonstrate that what is unfolding is all part of a managed process of justice that has been thought through with military precision. It gives ordinary people awakening to the nightmare confidence in the plan for resolution, and a good reason to reject those who would wish to cause harm by inciting violence or insurrection.
3. Q is a training program in discernment and logical thinking
Decades of media brainwashing and social conditioning have led much of the public to mistrust their own judgement, and to disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes and ears. The weaponisation of mass media against the very citizens it was meant to protect creates deep social division and mutual distrust.
Propaganda has been packaged as journalism, and the skill of distinguishing these is not offered in schools. Quite the opposite is true: public education has become indoctrination. Criminals have taught people to shut down rational inquiry on hearing the term “conspiracy theory”, and hence ignore their crimes, based on the threat of being ridiculed and socially ostracised.
Q is like a grand bootcamp for digital soldiers, who have to learn to deal with this complex and contentious information landscape. The Q drops frequently use the Socratic method, encouraging learning via asking questions, rather than providing packaged answers. Q incites people to think for themselves — rather than telling people what to think — and to use logic rather than emotion.
Q has helped us to understand what kinds of data we can rely on in a data environment filled with disinformation, and what we should be wary of. We have had to become more judicious in our selection of valid sources, and more discerning about future dates and events that may or may not transpire. Q has validated our trust in evidence and reason over purported authority.
Two years of the building of this “Q Army” has created a mass movement of people who question everything they are told, taking nothing at face value. We have learned to expand our thinking, and are open to new possibilities that would previously have been dismissed as too “out there”. For the truth really is stranger than fiction — by far.
4. Q is an information weapon against institutionalised crime and corrupted media
The corporate media is the most powerful weapon of the criminal “deep state” that is right now being removed from power. The media’s deceit has captured the souls of many of our compatriots into a web of lies and hatred. To counter this, Q has created a formidable foe to take on the “fake news”, as digital soldiers dissect every falsehood in real time, 24×7.
In the coming battle, the corrupt mass media will attempt to spin everything to their advantage — no matter how indefensible. They have already been working hard to get ahead of the story, setting up doubts about video evidence as being “deep fakes”; suggesting that paedophilia is a sexual preference rather than a serious crime; and even attempting to normalise cannibalism. (The word “pedovore” is one I wish I hadn’t had reason to encounter.)
Ultimately the public are going to have to decide who is telling the truth: is the mass media offering journalism or propaganda? Can it be really true that they are just one coordinated narrative under so many seemingly independent brands? How could such an unethical system of mind control ever be possible in a modern technological age?
The Q operation has been set up with the ultimate catch-22 for a corrupt corporate media, proving conclusively that it is pure propaganda, and not legitimate journalism. How so? The identity of Q is deliberately opaque. Q is not a “formal” program of the US government or military. Yet Q offers hundreds of data points that demonstrate Q is indeed linked to the Trump administration.
Any ordinary person can seek these out and validate them. They are beyond compelling. Meanwhile, the corporate media writes endless hit pieces on Q denouncing everything Q offers as “debunked conspiracy theory”. They write ad hominem attacks on those who think for themselves and reject the media’s false narrative.
Yet these “journalists” never do the most basic investigative activity of asking President Trump whether Q is legitimate, and if he is connected to it. This “Q question” turns Q into the most powerful (and paradoxical) information weapon in history: the credibility of the entire mass media is on the line, and every day they fail to ask it more people come to realise they are not in the business of journalism.
The mass media’s refusal to ask this simple question constantly destroys their credibility, with no action or effort required by the forces of truth. As Spygate and other scandals unfold, the outrage of the public at the complicity of the media will grow, and demands for the “Q question” to be asked will become irresistible.
At that point, the corrupt corporate media will have triggered their own demise: every assertion of Q they dispute will necessitate public proof. An avalanche of disclosure will cascade down and bury them. Every previous hit piece they wrote on Q will act as an epitaph — and a warning to those who might consider such organised lies in future.

Thanks, Chris. That’s a wonderful piece.
Discernment.
A lost art/talent. Ironically it’s supposedly taught in the schools, but what is actually taught is blind faith of following the 1337s, the leets. Being a sheeple, for Dummies.
Straight-up reporting has been replaced by advocacy, propaganda, and opinion masquerading as impartial reporting. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley predicted this 50 years ago; and it’s probably been even longer in the making (just look at political cartoons from the time of Lincoln and earlier)…
As Q and the article say (or imply), there’s a lot of groundwork needed before everything comes out. Most folks would otherwise be stunned, or dismiss things out of hand. Oddly enough, even OT discussed this a couple of years ago, although it seems he’s forgotten what he wrote… (it it’s still him, that is…),

Someone used to post his tweets OT. He came off as being VERY MAGA, but some things he tweeted were fake news.
He had a rather grandiose Twitter description of himself, and he looked a bit too young to have earned it.

Q news from NeonRevolt:
A couple of days ago NeonRevolt said he had news about Q to share that would blow our minds. Well, here it is:
The Google whistleblower, Zach Vorhies, got a message out of the blue from a number he didn’t recognize.
https://www.neonrevolt.com/2019/09/04/the-google-whistleblowers-message-from-qanon-greatawakening/
From the article:
______________________________
The very day that Vorhies went public with Project Veritas, he gets a text message out-of-the-blue.
It’s from a number he has never seen before, and has never had any contact with.
And it is startling:
Do not worry, you have guardian angels watching over you.
-Q

Zach shows me this conversation, and of course all kinds of questions run through our minds. Is this legit? Is there anyway to verify this? Should we, uhhhhh, call back the number it came from?
______________________________
There is more in the article about whether Q would really do this. Whether it was actually Q or not, it’s interesting.

The legal team representing the Obamas filed a petition to cancel the trademark of an e-book publishing company called Higher Ground Enterprises, much to the chagrin of the publishing company.
“This is really deplorable behavior. I hope that the Obamas realize that these actions are not consistent with the values they preach and that they instruct their attorneys to immediately dismiss the petition,” attorney Larry Zerner told Fox News in a statement that was first given to The Hollywood Reporter.
Zerner told Fox News that the “Obamas have known for almost a year” that their Higher Ground Productions trademark application was rejected by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office because it was too similar to his client’s Higher Ground Enterprises.
“Instead of simply picking another name, the Obamas’ lawyers have now filed a meritless petition to cancel my client’s trademark so they can take it for themselves,” Zerner said.

Updated list of victims from Conception fire, all but one missing. Going to look at the victims,vesp since fb iii involved.
“Crews on Wednesday have recovered the remains of 33 of the 34 people presumed dead two days after a dive boat carrying 39 people caught fire while anchored off Santa Cruz Island several miles west of Oxnard.
The search for the remaining body continued Wednesday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said. Those who were found suffered “varying degrees of damage from the devastating fire, requiring DNA analysis to aid the identification process,” the agency said.
The five people who survived were on the upper decks when the blaze ignited just after 3 a.m. Monday, and they were able to jump off the Conception, according to authorities.
The remaining occupants of the boat, however, were asleep in the lower deck and the flames likely blocked their escape routes, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said. What caused the fire remained under investigation.
The 75-foot vessel was on a three-day scuba diving trip and was scheduled to return to Santa Barbara Harbor at 5 p.m. later that day, according to the diving company that chartered the boat.
While the Santa Barbara County coroner has not publicly released the names of the victims,  family members and others who knew them have identified at least 22 of them.
Allie Kurtz, a crew member.Kristy Finstad, a marine biologist who was leading the diving expedition for her family’s company, Worldwide Diving Adventures.Michael Quitasol and Fernisa Sison, longtime staffers at St. Joseph Medical Center in Stockton.Quitasol’s three daughters: Evan, Nicole and Angela Quitasol. Evan had followed in her father’s footsteps and worked at St. Joseph’s Medical Center, her stepbrother Dominic Selga told KTXL. Angela was a middle-school science teacher in Stockton and Nicole was a bartender in Coronado, according to the L.A. Times.Scott Chan, a high school physics teacher, worked in the same school district as Angela Quitasol, according to the California Teachers Association. Chan’s  daughter, Kendra Chan, was a marine biologist who worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Ventura.Patricia Beitzinger and Neal Baltz, a couple from Arizona.Mike Kohls, who was a galley cook and deckhand for Conception, his brother told the Ventura County Star.Charles McIlvain and Marybeth Guiney, diving enthusiasts from Santa Monica.Two students at the Pacific Collegiate School in Santa Cruz, and the parents of one of the students, according to KSBW.Steve Salika and Diana Adamic, who met while working at Apple, a company executive told The Mercury News. Their daughter Tia, who was celebrating her 17th birthday, was also on the boat, the executive said.Dan Garcia, another Apple employee identified by the company.”

FREMONT, CA — A Labor Day weekend outing ended in tragedy for an American High School teacher, according to Fremont Unified School District.
Physics teacher Scott Chan died Monday in a horrific accident. A dive-boat off the coast of Santa Cruz Island in Southern California caught fire and sank. Five crew members of the Conception were saved, but 34 others, including Chan, died.
Chan taught AP Physics at American High, according to his LinkedIn profile. This was his third year at the school. Fremont Unified School District is providing grief counselors to students and staff, who are deeply shocked.

So your kids teacher hates guns, hates conservatives? You wont have sex with an employer ir an employee? Your coworker wants you out of the way so he can get your job? Report to the state. Fascism.
“Employers, co-workers and teachers could ask judges to take away guns from people who are deemed a danger to themselves or others under a bill that has cleared the California Senate.
California enacted a so-called “red flag law” that took effect in 2016. But it only allows law enforcement and immediate family members to ask judges for gun restraining orders. Assembly Bill 61 by Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco would expand that law.
Ting introduced the bill in response to a November 2018 mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, where 12 people were killed. The gunman, Ian David Long, had shown signs of instability to family and friends.
Groups advocating gun rights and civil liberties oppose the bill, which still must be approved by the state Assembly.”

“… The move will effectively defund 127 Pentagon projects across the country in order to fund 11 projects covering 175 miles of new or reconstructed barriers along the US-Mexico border. According to Pentagon officials, this will reduce the need for American troops to reinforce border security.
“This funding will all go to adding significantly new capabilities to [the Department of Homeland Security’s] ability to prevent illegal entry,” said Pentagon chief spokesman, Jonathan Rath Hoffman, who added “In areas where we go from, say, a vehicle barrier to a 30-foot wall, we will have a significantly new set of capabilities that didn’t exist previously.”
On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper began the process of notifying US lawmakers whose districts are affected by the changes – and Senate Minority Chuck Schumer is already complaining.
“This decision will harm already planned, important projects intended to support our service members at military installations in New York, across the United States, and around the world,” said Schumer, adding “It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces who serve our country that President Trump is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost his own ego and for a wall he promised Mexico would pay to build.”

Chuckie, are you sure you wanted to use that word “CANNIBALIZE” in your whine ?

Schumer can pound sand. That might well require him actually going to the border rather than Long Island, though.

I ask because you always seem to find obscure and interesting links!

I havent seen storm chasers….watching the Tenaja fire right now, finding chasers on it.

Molly, you could check out Reed Timmer…he’s a storm chaser who was in Florida on Monday.
He’s probably moved up the coast by now, to where the action is.

While the DemComs were pontificating about ClimateCrapshow…this was happening (not sure when this was actually happening because they’re all in overcoats..but…anyhoo)
