“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Before going any farther, grab a hankie and/or a box of tissues. This was real life, not a Lifetime movie, but will yield the same results.
NEVER FORGET!
Usually, a piece of music which is upbeat and driving goes in this space. Not today. Today we remember the thousands who were killed in the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil in our history, a day that forever changed our world. That being the case, this morning’s musical offering is one so haunting and stirring that the International Olympic Committee appropriated it. (Please ignore the subtitles. This is the best of the American orchestras available on video.)
If time permits the reader, an award winning piece was composed by American John Adams using the words of the people of New York, those left behind, who wrote notes to the lost and left them at Ground Zero. The piece is very modern, but worth a listen once. Being part of a chorus singing it in the venue featured above (Carnegie Hall) was a hot, sweaty, but rewarding experience.

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 fighting if you can help it. (Will return to the Hollywood fight scenes on a less solemn day.)
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 the next time you are in a TSA line and need to remember why flight security is such an ordeal.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Steve suggests – to be accurate – no shooting at the nuclear weapons, but to be safe about it, don’t event point firearms toward them. I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, request no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike.
Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions is always a moral imperative, but for today, we remember.
In the eternal fight against the forces of evil and darkness, unceasing prayer is always needed. From today’s Lectionary.
Third Chapter of St. Paul’s Letter to the Colossians:
Brothers and sisters: If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.
Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way. But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
And from St. Luke’s version of the Sermon on the Mount:
Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said:
“Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
“Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.”
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Today, we remember….
I know Tom Hanks is the narrator, but this story talks about how Americans come together in the face of tragedy to help each other. It’s what we do. This story was not told until much later than September 11, 2001, but still, it’s pretty amazing.
Well, John Bolton was asked to resign last night and did so this morning. At 10:55am the WH issued a press release stating Bolton would be in the WH presser at 1:30pm. Bolton insists he offered to resign last night after a heated discussion on Afghanistan. Bolton claim the President said, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Yet, at about 11:28am, the President issued this tweet.
Bolton is gone and a new National Security Advisor will take his place.
I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore….
….I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week.
And then, about 2 hours later, Secs Mnuchin and Pompeo took to the podium to explain details about the new EO the President signed targeting terrorists all over the globe (and wow, are they ever targeting terrorists, “most significant action since we went to war after 9/11”). Wolfie, I’m having a hard time getting the C-Span link to show up properly, can you help, please?
Here is the presser for the ages. Starts at 31 minutes and it is HOT!
This LIGHT IN SEPTEMBER [10] [PLACEHOLDER] TUESDAY 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 / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
LIGHT IN SEPTEMBER
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.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!
“I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And here we are. LIGHT IN SEPTEMBER.
Be part of it. Bring your wisdom, your talents, your opinions, your investigations, your prayers, and your hopes to this thread.
In today’s episode of “Outrage du Jour”, we examine the media’s double standard for offense/outrage over people staying at Trump Properties. Absurd. We definitely need visiting world leaders to stay at Trump Properties……. it’s called Home Field Advantage.
The left, in their insatiable hatred of our President have tried everything possible to sue the President, impeach the President, investigate the President, or degrade the reputation of Donald Trump via the properties he took a lifetime to build. The left has posted fake reviews to his hotels, protested his hotels, vandalized his hotels (spray painted the Post Office) and ripped up Trump golf courses. Plus, Dems such as Richard Blumenthal have sued the President under the Emoluments Clause. Lately, the left has begun to attack all Trump supporters as well.
All of the Emoluments litigation has been thrown out (save one still working its way through) In one case, Federal Judge Messitte was chastised by the 4th Circuit by a “writ of mandamus” (rarely used – a case opinion so wrong that a superior court reaches out and snatches it for correction – even before an appeal has been filed) for what “…amounted to a clear abuse of discretion.” and for allowing the case to proceed in the first place. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/emoluments-lawsuits-trump-wins-second-case/
The last Emoluments case is in front of Judge Sullivan (yes, the same Mike Flynn – Judge Sullivan), where Sullivan reasons the Democrats have a “personal interest” and have been treated unfairly since they did not get to “vote” for these payments. Sullivan has allowed the Congress to subpoena the President’s financial info, AND has not allowed an delay in the case while the President appeals the Judge’s decision.
Of course, it’s all politics……
When it comes to meeting with world leaders, however, all Americans should want to give an American President every advantage in negotiations, right? As much as our side loathed Obama, Clinton, Carter, LBJ, we wanted Carter to succeed in Middle East Peace. Political opposition usually remains quiet when “our guy” is up to bat on a world stage, especially when the President is traveling overseas. One would think proper decorum would continue…… because it’s in our best interest and we’re all Americans. Yet, Dems are so angry, they seek to undermine President Trump on foreign soil….. cuz orange man is bad. Yes, the radicals seek to harm America rather than have the President succeed in any way. Don’t be surprised. The same people are hoping we have a recession because the Trump economy is TOO GOOD.
Remember the Dems scheduled the Cohen testimony while President Trump was in Vietnam for the second summit with Chairman Kim.
Recall the American Press having a fit in Helsinki because President Trump did not excoriate Putin in public for meddling in a US election.
Who can forget, “Trump the Idiot” headlines as our President traveled for his first trip to NATO? “He bullied our Allies” – who don’t contribute.
Or the fake picture from the G7 in Canada which captured Merkel looking at President Trump with disdain…. until the other pic emerged.
Or the most infuriating, “Why is he in Saudi Arabia?” when the Trump Admin traveled to speak to the entire GCC, and lay the seeds for ending radical Islam terrorism.
The Dems and press were even churlish when the President met the Queen of England.
The knee-jerk animosity for President Trump is childish and irrational. When asked, Dems have a difficult time explaining why they are so angry. As the Fourth Circuit explained, “when plaintiffs before a court are unable to specify the relief they seek, one must wonder why they came to the court for relief in the first place.” Even if Trump Org. was forbidden “somehow” for earning money from a stay at Trump Property, the same people might still choose to stay there….. and the Emoluments Clause does not prohibit children from earning funds for the same property. It’s a bogus claim designed to harass the President.
The idea from the left is President Trump should have sold all his properties before becoming President. Well, that’s silly. Did Jefferson sell Monticello? Did Washington sell Mt. Vernon? Did Carter sell the peanut farm? Did FDR liquidate? And…. what about the those Kennedys? Of course, they held onto their properties.
Meanwhile, America has serious problems on the foreign policy front and we need resolution. If President Trump succeeds with China, DPRK, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, trade negotiations with the EU, USMCA, South Korea, Vietnam, the Taliban, and a new odd calm in the Middle East, we all win and the world becomes a safer place. Give the man some space….. he’s making more headway than any other US President we’ve had in a long time.
In fact, let’s be proactive and give the US President a whole lot of space and advantage. We’re lucky this time to have a President who is also a self-made multi-billionaire. This gives him extraordinary gravitas among other world leaders, especially the men. Recall when President Trump went to Davos for the first time. He was greeted like a rock star. It’s simple, really. It’s one thing to go to Davos as the leader of the free world. It’s ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY to travel to Davos as a multi-billionaire, ONE OF THEM, who is also the leader of the free world.
Well……. if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Right now, the USA has Trump, let’s use it. We have a President who HAS resources.
It’s called home field advantage. The entire city of Washington, DC was laid out for “home field advantage”, broad sweeping vistas, designed to be intimidating to foreign dignitaries…….. on purpose. At Texas A&M, it’s known as the 12th man, the power of the crowd. If you’ve ever attended a football game in the SEC or at Lambeau Field/Soldier Field/Superdome/Gillette Stadium, home field advantage is obvious. Just try to score a touchdown inside the 10yd line and get the snap count off without a delay of game penalty. You can’t do it. You’re on our goal line and we support our team. We’ll make too much noise, and we KNOW what we’re doing. We feel the same way about our President. Time to stack the deck for our Team America.
Remember when President Trump invited Prime Minister Abe and his wife to Mar-A-Lago? It was a win, and cemented their relationship…. which has been a valuable alliance in Asia addressing the DPRK and China.
While the Press FUMED about President Trump and Emoluments, the President invited Chairman Xi to Mar-A-Lago. It’s different among men. Trump invited Xi to his house, not a house owned by the government. HIS OWN HOUSE! Strange that Marjorie Hutton saw Mar-A-Lago as a Summer White House, and President Trump actually owns the estate. Funny that, almost like he planned it.
For those who think “it’s not right”, what about all the other Presidents who invited world leaders home to visit? It’s commonly done to create a warm relationship. Trump just happens to have nicer houses. After all, the Secret Service had to BUILD facilities to house their people at the Crawford Ranch in Texas.

Ohhh, I’m sorry. Can’t post any pics of Obama or Clinton taking world leaders back to the house for chicken pot pie…………, cuz neither of them had homes conducive for a dinner party. Obama rented houses for vacations, but never invited a world leader to travel with him. Wait a minute, we do have pics of Clinton, visiting Putin at Putin’s house, outside of Moscow….. Remember those three days Clinton spent with Putin in 2010 (after Presidency), right after Clinton made the $500K speech in Moscow? Clinton went to OTHER people’s houses…. and rented out the Lincoln Bedroom in OUR HOUSE!
Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (R) walks with former US President Bill Clinton at the State residence of the Russian President Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow on June 29, 2010. Russia bristled at US claims that it had smashed a Cold War-style Russian spy ring as former KGB spy and Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin expressed hope the scandal would not damage improving bilateral relations.

Doral, Mar-A-Lago, Jupiter Golf Course, The Winery in Virginia, the Golf Course in DC, Trump International at the old Post Office, Trump Tower, Bedminster, the Hotel in Vegas, a stop at the Trump Hotel in Hawaii, Doonbeg in Ireland, the gorgeous links in Scotland…….. where the Trump family employs the locals and the President knows the chef?
When a guy takes clients golfing, it’s one thing to buy the beer, dinner, and tee fees. It’s another thing entirely when you OWN THE COURSE. Are you kidding me? Of course, we should absolutely take advantage of the President’s vast resources to entertain world leaders.
It’s also an issue of national security and state etiquette. As impulsive as the activist left has become, not sure we should trust waiters, kitchen staff, hoteliers, etc., at other locations as much as we would trust employees of Trump Properties. After all, the President is “the boss”. We all know what could happen. We don’t need a topless feminist in the midst of the G7. By next September, screwing up the G7 in the USA, hosted by President Trump, right before the 2020 election, would be a temptation to sweet to resist for a rabid socialist.
Nah, homefield advantage makes sense. Use it or lose it.
Oh, and those Crossfire Hurricane Blues………… long gone.
It’s RALLY Day!! Grab your comfy shoes! We’re off to Fayetteville, North Carolina, to Rally for Dan Bishop, Repub for #NC9 Congressional District! Fayetteville is within 100 miles of Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, Wilmington, and only 13 miles from Ft. Bragg.
With more and more tickets requested, the rally was moved from an Airport hanger to the Crown Expo Center. Probably a good idea considering the 90+ degree temps forecasted for today. Time to gear up the AC because Trump fans are HOT!!!!!!!!
The rally is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. at the Crown Expo Center in Fayetteville, 1960 Coliseum Drive. (The event was originally scheduled to take place at Fayetteville Regional Airport, but the Trump campaign announced a location change on Sept. 6.)
Paul Speht for the New Observer, September 8, 2019.
Crown Expo Center 1960 Coliseum Dr Fayetteville, NC 28306 Seats 10,880 people
Doors open to the public at 4 p.m. People can sign up for tickets, which are given on a first-come-first-served basis, on donaldjtrump.com.
People who want to watch the rally but can’t attend are invited to attend a party at the North Carolina GOP headquarters in Raleigh at 1506 Hillsborough St.
President Trump set to hold a ‘Keep America Great Again’ rally tonight in Fayetteville, NC pushing his support behind the Republican candidate Dan Bishop ahead of the state’s special election. pic.twitter.com/C9JFqhyFgp
38 Minutes ago, about 7:00am her time, Tammy left to travel to the rally. She has her red hat and she’s on her way! We wish everyone traveling for the rally today a safe trip.
The citizens of North Carolina’s 9th District need our help. They’ve been without a Congressman and proper representation. The Repub won during the election of 2018 but allegedly a campaign worker was involved in “ballot harvesting” with a few specific people, which is now legal in California (and probably why we lost 14 seats). Ballot harvesting is NOT legal in NC. Thus, the Special Election is scheduled for tomorrow. Bishop (our guy) is running against McCready (hand picked Dem, Veteran, will vote with Pelosi, whom Bishop categorizes as a “radical socialist”).
*** One Note: Of the 3 billion diverted from military funding, allegedly 32.9 million was diverted from an Elementary School build at Ft Bragg. Of course, we need a border wall, and eventually Ft Bragg wil get their new school, but look for the media to make an issue about the diversion.
Before I went to bed last night, Big T told me people were already lining up for the rally. He was right. We all love a good KAG/MAGA Rally! 48 Hours ahead of time, the Trump Flags and the American Flags rose above Fayetteville.
48 hours ahead of the @realDonaldTrump rally in Fayetteville and the first folks are already in line!
The president will also be front and center at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Monday, where Mr. Trump will stump for Bishop. A recent TV ad by Bishop’s campaign shows footage of Mr. Trump praising the Republican candidate during a July rally in Greenville, North Carolina.
CBS
“He’s going to be a great congressman…he will indeed defend your values,” Mr. Trump said of Bishop during the July rally, which is better remembered for the chants of “send her back” by the audience, referring to Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Overcoming Offendedness
The following article is part of a larger series by Rick Joyner intended to help people prepare for the battles right on our horizon. I highly recommend prayerfully going over the entire set of articles as time permits.
“A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city.” (Proverbs 18:19a)
The Great Commission was to make disciples of all nations, not just individuals. The Lord said that when He returned He would divide the nations into “sheep” or “goats.” The sheep are good and the goats are bad. We have come to a time when nations are determining ultimate issues that will result in them being a sheep or goat nation.
In this series, I will continue to unpack the dramatic dream I had about the American Republic that deals with ultimate issues of our purpose from heaven’s perspective. Regardless of what country you are from, there will be a level of civil conflict coming in your nation too. Many will be similar to what is unfolding here.
Therefore, even though this is American-centric, in many ways it addresses the same basic issues all nations will be facing, as these are all connected to what The Lord said would come at the end of this age.
As covered previously, the first two Great Awakenings in America each preceded wars, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. As we study the primary messages that came from those two Great Awakenings, we can see a direct link from the Awakenings to the wars.
So did these great spiritual awakenings cause the wars? In some basic ways they did. The light from these Awakenings exposed the darkness, and this required that it be confronted until it was driven from the land.
Could the darkness have been driven from the land by spiritual warfare so that the physical conflicts would not have been necessary? Perhaps. That certainly would have been desirable.
However, what I saw in my dream included physical conflict. I saw the nature of this, which I will share later in this study. Even so, it is my conviction that to the degree that evil strongholds in our land are destroyed spiritually, the degree of the physical conflict will lessen.
As we enter the Third Great Awakening in America, we can expect the same kind of light to expose the great darkness in our time. When powers of darkness are exposed, they rage. When they are cast out of their high positions they come to the earth with great wrath, as we see in Revelation 12.
God’s provision is to send us great champions of the truth to face specific evil strongholds in our time. They are being sent to completely destroy these strongholds, not just defeat them and push them back. What is happening in the Spirit will be reflected in the natural with rage and conflict.
It is always a tragedy when our differences degenerate into violence. It has been a great hope of Western Civilization to rise above war, to eradicate it completely from the earth. That is a noble hope, however, as we see up to the end of the Book of Revelation, there will be increasing war right to the end of the age.
As we see in Revelation 7, for a brief time the winds of war (winds of the earth) are held back so that The Lord’s bondservants can be sealed, but this is a short time and the winds are released again.
To be prepared for the times we must understand that violence has already begun, and it will get worse for a time. Again, this may be reduced by spiritual victories, but there is now a level of violence that we will not be able to avoid and we must be prepared for—spiritually and physically.
A major reason we can expect increasing violence is because of a contingent that not only does not want open debate, but cannot tolerate it. This is the fruit of an education system that no longer educates, but rather indoctrinates.
A generation has been conditioned so that if you disagree with them they will be offended, and being offended has been elevated to the level of being considered almost worse than a physical assault.
That many are so easily offended is a major cause that will make the physical violence unavoidable. As we are told in Proverbs 18:19, “A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city.”
One of the most important things we can do to prepare for the coming conflict is to refuse to be offended. This is basic Christianity and is called “forgiveness.” Jesus forgave the ones who had Him crucified and even those who nailed Him to the cross. Learning to be quick to forgive is basic discipleship and basic to following Christ.
To stay on the right side in what is unfolding, we must not engage in the rage and bitterness that is fueled by unforgiveness. We must learn not to react to personal offense, but take the actions that we do because they are the right thing to do.
To make it through what is coming upon the world will require all Christians to follow Christ more closely and be more like Him than we ever have. We must guard our hearts, especially from the evil stronghold of unforgiveness and offense.
The Lord will help us get ready by allowing opportunities to learn to forgive quickly and totally. Don’t waste these trials. Embrace them as the opportunities they are, especially when you are persecuted for doing what is right.
The Lord promised a special blessing for this. See these as an opportunity to get closer to The Lord by bearing your cross to identify with Him, and getting closer to Him will be the greatest blessing of all.
“One of the most important things
we can do to prepare for the coming conflict
is to refuse to be offended. “
We are in a battle for the ages.
Our lives, our families, our communities, our nation need us to win this.
Living in offense is like keeping your eyes on the rear view mirror.
Fixating on the rear view mirror is a distraction we cannot afford to entertain.
Let’s clear our vision so we can maximize our battle readiness!

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Audiomachine, titled ‘The New Earth’:
Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is the base of a huge Tree, with double doors set into an archway and a light beside them, lighting the stone pathway leading up to the doors. On the other side of the trunk is another arched doorway that is open. There are different sized windows at intervals up the tree trunk; two are arched, one is square and another is round. Around the side is a gable containing another window.
There are patches of green moss and ivy growing on the bark of the Tree. Lush green grass is on either side of the stone pathway and there are ferns in the foreground. Filtered sunlight is streaming down behind the Tree, casting a soft light on the surrounding forest. Second Image: Is an interior view, of rooms with round doorways and soft lighting. There is an overstuffed leather chair with pillows and tables with chairs in each room. On one side there is soft light coming in through a small round window and a larger arched one. In the far room there is another small round window with light shining in through it. There are exposed beams on the walls and the sloped ceiling. Third Image: Is a wooden outdoor deck, overlooking tree tops with one tall tree nearby. The view stretches out to rounded, tree-covered mountains in the distance, with white fluffy clouds and blue sky above them. There are two rustic rocking chairs facing out towards the view. Fourth Image: Is our President, facing down the press curs in one of his impromptu ‘chopper pressers’ on his way out to Marine One. He has a resolute, albeit slightly pained, look on his face as he listens to the stupid questions from the press curs.
I’m surprised it took me THIS LONG to see how Comey’s multi-layered scam worked, but hey – James Comey is one slick bastard, as you can tell from his long and complex play against President Trump.
Why, Comey’s REALLY BIG PLOT is still unfolding right now. His CRAP is of an almost unearthly complexity. In some ways, it has to be, because the RESOURCES available to pull off his stuff are now geographically diminishing. Not all of the FBI is dirty. But there are still enough dirty resources, nationwide, to pull off false flags, and to achieve necessary timing.
That’s kind of impressive.
This isn’t new. We have literally gone through YEARS of the Comey plot. And I honestly think that the most MURDEROUS MOMENTS are yet to come.
In FACT, maybe arresting that guy wouldn’t have been such a bad idea. Just sayin’. Cuz there gonna be more bodies, if you catch my drift. He ain’t one to give up so easy.
I thought it was hilarious that this Devin Nunes interview appeared in my feed at the moment of writing, because this is EXACTLY what I’m talking about.
“The IG report, even though it didn’t lead to a prosecution, it’s a tremendous amount of evidence that would build into the case that we’ve been making that there was in fact a conspiracy here, and that is what the Justice Department should be looking at — conspiracy to break many laws.”
Devin Nunes
A conspiracy? You don’t say!
And Nunes is just talking about the OTHER end of the conspiracy – the EARLY part. The FAKE FISA and BOGUS IMPEACHMENT plots. The part BEFORE they put the pedal to the metal on guns and mass murders, because they realized that basic impeachment on Russian collusion was DEAD.
Sorry, Comey. We’re keeping both our POTUS *AND* our Bill of Rights. ALL OF IT.
The part of Comey’s FBI conspiracy that’s going on now – the “hit Trump on guns to attack his base” conspiracy – THAT is actually part of the larger Comey FBI conspiracy, but we have to look more closely to see how it’s all supposed to work.
So let’s look more closely, shall we?
The Comey FBI *NEEDS* Red Flag
It’s the little details that pay off and blow their scam. Just like their “take of the winnings” on Walmart convinced me that the FBI itself REALLY IS the one pulling off the events here, trying to change America, and humanity, so I just realized that Oregon anti-ANTIFA Red Flag Poster Boy (hereafter just RFPB or Red Flag Poster Boy) is also a device used in the “take” of the pot – their COLLECTION – their GOAL.
They NEED Red Flag – that microscopic but ever-present BREAK in due process through which arbitrary arrest and legal-illegal manipulation of the individual is possible. And they will do anything – ANYTHING – to get it.
Everybody KNOWS it, but very few can PROVE IT.
Let’s just say I can open the MALL DOOR to the proof, and BETTER MEN (and maybe some WOMEN) can send in a team to collect the evidence.
Oh, look. Somebody is ALREADY AT THE MALL.
POLITICS. The FBI is not just politicized. The functional FBI are now ALL-OUT POLITICS to stop Trump – but ingeniously hidden underneath the best excuses our tax dollars can buy.
MEANS, MOTIVE, and OPPORTUNITY – my three muses – just NAILED the Comey FBI. Yeah, it’s circumstantial, but it JUST. KEEPS. ON. HAPPENING.
Grow up. They’re DIRTY.
Sorry – the FBI is politicized beyond redemption, and needs a cleaning that maybe only Hercules or THOR can deliver.
SO – let’s get down to explaining what is going on.
Introducing Red Flag Poster Boy
You don’t WANT to look at him too closely. He’s too much like us. THAT is psychology. Really, really GOOD psychology. But you NEED to look at him closely to SEE THE SCAM.
AW – suddenly VYSOTSKY’S EVIL CREATION – Portland ANTIFA – is the VICTIM!
How did THAT happen? LOL. Yeah, right.
Horrifying to think that fake criminologist Stanislav Vysotsky – AUTHOR of Rose City Antifa, might actually be in CAHOOTS with the REAL FBI.
First of all, we’ve gotta get honest on this Posobiec distortion to see what’s really happening. This is actually kinda interesting.
Now, I love Jack “Disinformation” Posobiec because – well – there are few MAGA pot-stirrers as proficient as he is. Posobiec will tell you the right thing for the wrong reason, or the wrong thing for the right reason, and it is impossible to say which. And it all looks accidental, but you KNOW it’s intentional, and you NEVER know exactly why.
The KING of conservative clickbait who can never get called on it. He’s SLICK.
Here, just look at THE DIFFERENCE between what Posobiec says and what the article says.
What Jack Posobiec says:
The FBI, using Oregon’s new red flag law, took a Marine’s guns away after saying he would kill Antifa if they tried to kill him
Posobiec clickbait Twitter summary
Oh really? Let’s see what the article says:
“If antifa gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” Kohfield, 32, said. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out antifa.”
reporter Shane Dixon Kavanaugh in The Oregonian
Well THAT’S not only DIFFERENT – it was stupid as hell. It’s RED FLAG BAIT.
Those are NOT exactly the same thing. What Jack says, sounds like self-defense. What RFPB actually said, amounts to THREATS OF LETHAL RETALIATION AGAINST NON-PERPS.
It’s a RED FLAG NO-BRAINER.
But now I’m gonna shake things up a bit. Grab the rails, people.
Posobiec is either MISSING the real scandal, or HIDING the real scandal.
Posobiec is saying that red flag did something it didn’t. THAT is a FAKE RED FLAG SCANDAL. And it’s not only wrong – it’s SMALL POTATOES.
But what is he deflecting us from? Turns out, it would be a WAY BIGGER SCANDAL.
The scandal of “Red Flag Poster Boy is part of a larger FBI plot – PREMEDITATED – with over 30 dead – designed to push for Red Flag Laws specifically, and particularly in Ohio.“
You see what I’m sayin’? We’re talking a REAL scandal that could put Comey on Old Sparky, by my reckoning.
Let me explain this more slowly.
This Kohfield guy was ASKING for red flag. JUST asking for it.
No – worse. He’s like the perfect poster boy for Red Flag.
With his MAGA hat, and his BODY ARMOR, and all his great lines? COME ON, PEOPLE!
So why don’t the thousands of stupider losers in ANTIFA make mistakes like that?
“Oh, yeah – I remember! It’s because RFPB is a PTSD human shield!”
PFFFFT! Sell me a fucking BRIDGE. Sorry. NOT BUYING IT.
Don’t be a CHUMP. This is NARRATIVE. Don’t be a SUCKER. They use this crap against us like trained animals. We are BARKING SEALS to this shit.
And just like we were trained, the REALLY big secret is that they TRAINED dear little RFPB. Which I will explain below.
But wait – it gets worse.
ADD IN the fact that this guy did the following two things:
(1) Mailed “alarming stuff” to reliable ideologically and media-controlled opposition right-wing human shield Dan “More Cruz Than Cruz, More Kinzinger Than Kinzinger” Crenshaw. You know – the guy with the eye-patch that makes patriot lady VOTERS swoon.
I mean, come on. Think about it. If you’re trying to DOG-TRAIN conservatives to SIT on command on RED FLAG, what’s the proper VIRTUE SIGNAL?
TWO VETERANS! OH MY GOD! TWO VETS! We have to DO SOMETHING!!! OK – you’ve convinced me!
PFFFFT! Brainwash McCAIN laughs in MOTEL SATAN.
You seein’ this shit? At all? Have I slapped you with any WAKE THE FUCK UP yet?
Oh, heck, let’s keep GOING!
(2) Showed up in front of Mayor Ted Wheeler’s house (YES, THAT TED WHEELER) and – wearing BODY ARMOR and using a BULLHORN – delivered CLASSIC, face-palm, eye-rolling, “red flag” rhetoric to the media.
AND I QUOTE:
Shane Kohfield stood outside the home of Portland’s mayor in July wearing body armor and a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, a large knife strapped to one shoulder and a copy of his concealed weapons permit displayed on the other.
Using a loudspeaker, he warned the right-wing activists who turned out to condemn the city’s handling of recent violent demonstrations that they needed to protect themselves against their anti-fascist, or antifa, rivals.
“If antifa gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” Kohfield, 32, said. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out antifa.”
reporter Shane Dixon Kavanaugh in The Oregonian
Seriously, only the FBI could make this shit up. I’m sorry. It’s fucking ridiculous.
It is really worth looking at the original article AFTER I’ve slapped you with some WTFU.
Red Flag Poster Boy did EXACTLY what was needed to justify red flag laws! WOW!
WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
But just to be certain you see this, we’re gonna do it in THREE PARTS:
The “events”
The “push-back”
The “justification”
The Events
Right after things cool down a bit from THIS:
And – WHOOPS – this? (Speaking of which, has FBI-DNC-SNOPES fixed this shit yet?)
AND then THIS….
Which – oh-so-coincidentally brings this crap back into Ohio, hitting a swing state, pushes back on Trump’s MASSIVE rally, covers up a likely DARPA loss loose end, and gives FBI a tool to cover up Deep State’s DEATH-RATTLE SCANDALS, both in Ohio and (COUGH) elsewhere (and when people find out about the human-STEM-limiting stuff, they are going to FREAK, trust me, but CA3 was WAY bigger than I thought)……
As you can see, Red Flags were ON THE ROPES. But then LO AND BEHOLD
The Justification
Let’s look at the timelines, which always get them
RFPB delivers his premeditated red flag act at Ted Wheeler’s house on 7/20
Trump holds his first big swing state OHIO rally in Cincinnati on 8/1
El Paso patsy shooting at psy-op target Walmart on 8/3
Dayton MK shooting in Oregon district on night of 8/4
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (TARGET) comes out with red flag proposal 8/5
El Paso and Dayton stories falling apart – first Q Tree article w/ patsy proof 8/6
Ted Wheeler puts out YouTube video about 1A rally violence fears on 8/7
RFPB served with ERPO to take his guns and begin 5 day eval on also on 8/7
Massive problems with red flag laws already a consensus among gun owners 8/9
Q Tree article “Top 10 Reasons Red Flag Laws Are Bad For America” on 8/10
RFPB volunteers to remain hospitalized for two more weeks on 8/12 (calculated)
PDJT absolutely DESTROYS red flag using Chris Cuomo “Fredo” tirade on 8/13
Q Tree article “Speech-Protecting the Red Flags” demands 1A guarantees on 8/14
RFPB is PREVENTED from attending Portland free speech rally on 8/17
RFPB is released from hospital on 8/27 or 8/28 (calculated)
Oregonian article on RFPB appears on 8/30
Now – when I say RFPB’s commie drama on Ted Wheeler’s lawn was “premeditated”, I’m not talking about Red Flag Poster Boy doing any of the real premeditation. He’s a tool. He’s an easily manipulated patsy, just like the El Paso shooter, whose name is largely kept out of the media (compare to other shooters) because he himself is now an extreme LIABILITY to the FBI.
I will explain later how the manipulation of these patsies works. Down underneath “sources and methods”, the excuse which is used to PROTECT THE SCAM.
SIDEBAR: Good GOD, I wish somebody could NUKE this shit abuse of classification – maybe Obama – oh yeah, he did – hmmmm – interesting – and yet – nothing……?
No – when I talk premeditation, I’m talking about the people who are DESPERATE to get a red flag law passed in Ohio for some reason. They even loaded up TWO mass killings to “move the center of horror” and make sure that DeWine simply HAD to roll out a red flag proposal.
I wonder why. I mean, these people would have had to have done some pretty shocking stuff – right? To kill dozens of people to get OUT OF IT? Gotta be pretty massive – don’t you think?
OK, we’re ready for school. I’m going to take you INSIDE a place that very few people know about, but I spent years there, biding my time, knowing it was a SCAM.
Patsy School
Let’s begin by looking at my replies further down the thread under Posobiec’s tweet.
You will notice that these tweets got NO engagement – or at least they don’t show any. However, there is a BUG in Twitter’s code, on their deceptive fake numbers of likes and replies, which gives away the fact that they had to clamp down here, and a wee bit of information on HOW. Too bad I was a software developer when I found my hidey-hole in FAKE SCIENCE. I learned what honest I.T. looks like, because I did it, so I can always spot the other kind.
Most people have not actually HAD different kinds of spies and informants around them, but – very weirdly – there are places where you find a LOT of such people. Certain parts of FAKE SCIENCE are indeed such places.
Spying is really a lot like the old “Turing test”, only differently directed in what is being ASKED and TOLD. The thing is, just like “FISA works both ways”, the Turing test works both ways. Normally, in the Turing test, the PERSON tries to figure out if the thing on the other side of the divider is HUMAN or MACHINE. In spying, the SPY tries to figure out if the person on the other side of the divider knows something, what that something is, and whether it’s true or not.
The trouble is, the PERSON and the SPY always give up a lot of information, looking for whatever it is they are looking for, or sparking whatever FIRE they’re trying to set. So if the thing on the other side of the divider is ME – it’s going to ask stupid questions like:
“What is this person or spy trying to do here?”
“What information are they trying to get?”
“What ideas are they trying to plant in my head?”
“What is the PURPOSE of what they are doing?”
Now – I’ve dealt with a variety of informants and spies over my lifetime – many of which were really good. Some of them know I know they are what they are, or at least suspect it. That’s part of the game, too. I hate to say this, but in real life, it was easier for me to have informants and spies, than it was to have real friends. And the fact is, in this world, regular people turn into informants and spies pretty fast when they’re told various lies. It’s just the way things are. SO – to be quite honest – I don’t mind having informants and spies instead of what might be called “friends for no reason”.
Spies and informants are generally very interesting people. Read some books about real spies and you’ll see. They lead weirdly normal but weirdly interesting lives. They’re like professional gossips, snoops, actors and bullshitters for a cause. Everybody should know at least one or two such people, in my opinion. If you know five people who seem kinda like they might be spies, then you almost certainly know at least two. One MAY be a person you suspect. The other will definitely be somebody completely unexpected.
So anyway, one of my informants/spies was really quite good. BUT – because they were asked to get or plant SO MUCH information for SO LONG – well – they gave up a lot of information.
Whoever was coming up with the biggest laundry list of things being looked for was sure worried about Trump, so we’re definitely talking Deep State, for starters. But that was at the tail end of things. See what I’m saying there? You’re probably getting ideas on WHO was asking the questions already. BUT – that will be your call. I have no idea, ultimately. False attribution is very important to these people. So it’s all PROBABILITIES. Nothing is CERTAIN. You have to ASSUME YOU ARE POSSIBLY BEING FOOLED.
One of the things I found most intriguing was that they seemed interested in not just me, but OTHER PEOPLE. Among those other people, there seemed to be one particular group that I also fell into. And if I could characterize that group as anything, it would be potentially believable as mass shooters. Not necessarily potential mass shooters, which is a different thing, but people who others would say “yup – I can see it“, after the fact.
This was obviously a very disturbing realization.
Not only that, but they seemed to:
want me on the list
want me to do, say, or think things that would in actuality “deepen me” on the list
want information that would justify me being on the list
Now – they were ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE for me to say “the N word” to this guy on the phone. They would engage in a lot of very fake talk to try to draw me into using it, which really blew their credibility, but – like I said – they were DESPERATE.
The fact is, when I was a kid, I almost never used the term, but I did once, repeating what somebody had said about my clothes, and a black friend of my mom overheard it. Trust me – I was “learned” not to use the term by what followed. Although when a black guy stole my wedding ring, I did call him that – among many much worse things.
Anyway, they just tried to get me to SAY CERTAIN THINGS, and it was really pretty pathetic. They were definitely looking for any angle to discredit me. They would just work to wear me down on the phone – trying to call late to make sure I was tired – the calls coming like clockwork – multiples of half an hour – you know what I’m saying. It wasn’t about getting the truth. It was about getting what they needed or wanted. But I played along. It was kinda fun. I mean, under Obama, where was I to turn? Who could I go to? Just RIDE THIS SHIT OUT.
They wanted me to be crazy, racist, or violent – OR – and this was weird – to redeem myself in some way by being/becoming/admitting/re-envisioning myself as gay, trans or progressive.
In short, they wanted me to be politically USEFUL from a leftist standpoint – either one way or the other.
There were many attempts to influence as well. Some traps. And a couple of MK trigger tests (that will take forever to explain – not now). But – to be honest – THIS ONE was not nearly as dangerous as some of the other people I dealt with over my life. However, the “shooter background preparation” stuff – that was a bit freaky, and stayed with me.
And THIS. We need to talk about the “others on the list”.
One of the other people who was “on the shooter list” – that mark was definitely NOT WISE to the informant. The mark got very weirded out and flamed out in a dramatic way. What was very interesting THERE was that the person was vociferously pro-2A but ON THE LEFT. At one time, they had a lot of positive reputation, and a lot of influence, but they began a long downward slide. So the complete and utter 2A discreditation of this person – exactly what happened – seemed very “their agenda” if you ask me. There was some China involvement on that one, too, but it’s messy. VERY messy. China sneaking in is not a simple thing. It’s complicated. Good China – even anti-China – will drag in bad China. For some things, the only Safe China is No China. So there was China on it.
And another person on the list also went nutso and even became a THREAT to the informant. I think that person subconsciously knew they were being messed with through information from the informant, but was swinging at air trying to fight off the craziness that was dogging them. It’s a very sad thing to watch people being driven crazy, who both don’t know where it’s coming from, and don’t know how to fight back.
It would be very plausible to just pass these two people off as normal crazies who were being WATCHED by an informant FOR the FBI, but in my opinion they were being MESSED WITH. I was WISE to being messed with – and that’s why I skated through their attempted manipulations.
SO – with all that in mind as my background, let’s talk about Red Flag Poster Boy.
Patsy Factory
Allow me to be extremely blunt.
Based on my ride in the “Deep State Patsy Wagon”, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that THIS DUDE had way more DS heat and manipulation on him than I ever had. Worse still, he clearly has no clue. I could put this guy up to ANYTHING, and I’m a pretty worthless manipulator. He’s a lovable FRUITCAKE. Hit him with the right stuff, and he’s PUTTY.
Perfect for a little AND logic of USE THE CRAZY GUY AS COVER.
Despite what XOR SHILLS are already saying on the Posobiec timeline (yeah, it’s worth a look, if you’re actually at the FBI and know how XOR works. And please don’t send any more of your n00bs to be members here. They might be the WRONG KIND OF YOU.)
This boy RFPB may never have ridden in the back seat of civilian cars at the tail end of the Roswell air show parade, but he was valuable as hell RIGHT NOW, and performed like a champ in giving the globo-futuro-progresso-left exactly what it wanted – individual gun confiscation AND MOAR without actual due process.
If you read the article, you will see that this Kohfield guy has the PERFECT psychology for what they wanted. He was without a doubt understood inside-out by Deep State – and he was understood LONG before they fed him to “Fake Psychiatry” for his “evaluation”.
There are days I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about something, and this is one of them.
Time to be VERY honest.
The very IDEA that this dude – fully monitored through informants and understood by what we might regard as 28th century mental science – then USED like nobody’s business based on that science – and finally – when they’ve gotten the political manipulations of humanity that they needed – was FED back to dopey 21st century psychiatry for his witch-doctor evaluation….
OMG – it’s JUST. SO. CYNICAL.
The people who gave him those 20 days of evaluation have NO IDEA about the criminalization of psychiatry and psychology – much less psychiatry and psychology that would seem like it’s from the FUTURE. But based on what was done in CA3, THAT is what we’re dealing with. Humans understood at THAT level. REPRODUCIBLE. PREDICTABLE. LAB MICE.
The thing that I learned in FAKE SCIENCE is that our local masters developed a kind of patronizing attitude toward us. They didn’t care what we were doing. Why not? Because we were a FRONT. We were CIGAR STORE INDIANS. That is all.
REAL SCIENCE – the crap they USED ON US – and everybody else – is way ahead of whatever we knew.
THAT is why the CLIMATE SCAM WORKS. Fake Science, pretending it’s still in charge of itself, is TOYED WITH and LIED TO with impunity. Because 21st century PHYSICAL science is utterly unaware of 28th-century-equivalent SOCIAL SCIENCE which can completely fool it, today’s scientists are putty in the hands of people who make Uri Geller look sloppy.
Imagine going back in time and FOOLING old scientists because that was your mission. At all possible levels, from global, national, organization, down to individual. Yeah, now you’re seeing it. Now you see how effective that would be. All you have to do is know the reality, and know that your mission is to keep the targets away from it. If you KNOW the points to steer away from, your ad hoc strategy will work like crazy.
At the point of Star Trek: The Series That Nobody Ever Watched, where the “Prime Directive” (LOL) has been so thoroughly sliced, diced, ground to a pulp, and then atomized for interesting plotlines (hey – you’re watching a movie), to the point that it pretty much isn’t THERE – well – then you will see exactly what I’m talking about, and how EASY it is – if you just “defictionalize it” to make the roles quieter, sneakier, and MORE REAL and NOW and HERE.
Oh, let me tell you – defictionalization is a hell of a skill, and you’re gonna love it. It is a FAST way of turning THEIR disinformation into a fucking battle plan.
Bag of hammers into a bag of tomahawks.
Imagine how easy it would be to keep old-time scientists off-track – make them miscommunicate – marginalize the wise guys and gals, and promote the frauds and the inept.
Hell – that might even work at the FBI.
What surprises me is how FAST they did it. REALLY fast. The last few decades have given them some real capabilities.
SO – have I woken you up just a bit on HOW they view the PATSIES? Like MICE?
Read the article and listen to how Kohfield – whoops, I mean RFPB – actually VALIDATES all the red flag talking points. His levels of cooperating, SELF-DISCREDITING PER THE DESIRED NARRATIVE, self-critique, and affirmation of the value of his red-flag confessions – what one might call brainwash-washing – all of this may be fine and good, and I would even join his psychiatrists in celebrating it as a good thing – but those psychiatrists are NEVER going to see the bigger picture of how both they and Kohfield were USED as socio-political pawns, kinda like – well – cigar store Indians.
The 21st century psychiatrists are being asked to observe and bless RFPB in the same way that an old Indian chief might be asked to publicly bless the cigar store’s finest Virginia tobacco. THAT part is the gimmick – the real part was MODERN AGRICULTURE and a TRAIN RIDE. So in this case, “certain elements” in the FBI worked the patsy into a highly specified lather using bleeding edge psych tools, pointed him in the right direction, and maybe even helped write his little self-discrediting script.
Actually, I know how that part works. *WINK*
The point is, I know that all this mental manipulation stuff really does take place in the “monitoring” of patsies. Next, I can read quite a bit in the article that tells me this Kohfield dude is a face-palm creation by the FBI. And lastly, here is the kicker, FROM THE ARTICLE:
The FBI declined to provide additional details about the case or answer questions submitted by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
“The Portland JTTF’s role is to assess, address, and mitigate any given threat against the people of Oregon appropriately,” Beth Anne Steele, a spokeswoman for the bureau’s Portland office said in an email Friday.
“Sometimes that mitigation takes the form of criminal prosecution, and sometimes it involves a holistic response, including consultation with threat assessment teams or others to divert a person before a significant violent crime occurs.”
reporter Shane Dixon Kavanaugh in The Oregonian
Oh, clamming up about Red Flag Poster Boy is SMART. Even if Beth Anne Steele is goody two-shoes Dana Scully on this one, she has to know that Kohfield is a HOT POTATO on some stuff everybody at FBI will just want to go away – even their BEST.
Psychology. ASK ME why I know the psychology of SCANDAL and CONSPIRACY so well. The UNCONSCIOUS and SUBCONSCIOUS manipulators and signals of EVERYBODY – particularly the INNOCENT and CLUELESS – are what the plots COUNT ON.
There is a huge chess game and almost nobody on this planet plays. Well – I know ONE GUY.
I am not taking ANY issue with what Ms. Steele says. I think everything she is saying is true. She is likely not read in on JACK, although you never know. YOU NEVER KNOW.
But I would ask everybody – EVERYBODY – including her – to consider ONE question.
“If, as Wolf Moon alleges, reality is the best cover, then WHAT might be covered up by the realities of the Kohfield case?”
I, personally, think it’s a very interesting question. Maybe somebody should have a look.
Happy Friday! Are we ready for a weekend? We could use a break, true. Settle into our Treehouse and let’s catch up on the news. Let’s see what our buddies are doing.
We welcome you to the Q Tree, WQTH! Here, 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. Please, keep it SOMEWHAT civil because most of the people here are our friends. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
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.
In putting together the Friday thread, I was trying to come up with something clever. Dep and TrumpIsMine are bringing their “A” game, Wheatie and Triple T are out of my league, but I was at a loss. Stuck, and not feeling it. So, I started thinking…..
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks, you probably know all about Hurricane Dorian. If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past 3 years, you probably know all about Operation Crossfire Hurricane, undertaken by the counter-intel division of the FBI/State Dept/CIA.
I was wandering around this afternoon, feeling contempt for inept bureaucracies, Allies who won’t stand up for The Bahamas, a miserable press corps, and bad actors who lack empathy for the citizenry, when everything smooshed together in the blender of my mind. I simply can’t take any more destruction photos from the Bahamas but still concerned about friends, like CrossThread, in the Carolinas. I was mad but sad, too. Therefore……… I started singing… and figured it out….
I have the Crossfire Hurricane BLUES.
That was it! When you get the blues, you have to let it pour from your soul, deep, down to your toenails, rattle your spine, and shake the timbers. Don’t stifle it…… let it out. Sing loudly. While I was singing and pretending to be John Lee Hooker, I could put together Friday’s post fairly easily, youtube videos about storm songs, post Wheatie’s Rules, and schedule the post…….. but something funny popped up along the way.
Jumpin’ Jack Flash was the song which starts with the lyric about a crossfire hurricane…. BUT…… the documentary Crossfire Hurricane was done by Brian Jones, which came out in 2012, and made the Stones more popular to a slightly younger generation (Strzok/Page/McCabe). Gee, how did we miss that one?
Curiouser and curiouser…..
Please take a look at this movie trailer for Crossfire Hurricane about the 30 second mark. “The beat was about the White Hat…… what’s left was the Black Hat”……. Froze in my tracks because I’ve been hanging around with you guys for too long. And then, “You have a hero, and an anti-hero…. It’s good to have an actor who can play the part.”
Made me wonder if there was something else there (I’m learning, Wolfie.). Makes sense, right? Found it on youtube. Subtitles are in German, but not necessary. One of the first things they talk about is the 1969 tour and the stop in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where they recorded “Brown Sugar”, “Wild Horses”, and “You Gotta Move”. The later is pure Mississippi Delta Blues……sung by successful English white boys. Why does everyone in DC keep talking about sweet lil’ Alabama? Odd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCjcPPlJqMg
Well, there’s nothing in the whole hour long video as far as clues specific to us, but I might be missing something (leave to you all to decide). It was more of a general …. what’s the right word….. more like a general “sneer” to society. One could watch the documentary and see, easily, how it would appeal to people like McCabe/Strzok/Page et als. The way the Rolling Stones were, riding the wave of fame/women/booze/drugs, disregard for law or rules of society, and loathed – then adored by the masses, idolized…. like…. rock stars, would be strangely seductive to A-type power hungry men and women who were the political appointees and their protogees at the FBI/DOJ…. who secretly longed to be cool and sexy.
“Crossfire Hurricane” is the magical point, in the center of a hurricane, where the winds shift 180 degrees. Very few people have actually experienced it, but people TALK like they know all about it. Kind of like “playing” the blues as opposed to really “feeling” The Blues. Yet, as is the case with singing The Blues, pretty soon though, you get tired of all the howling, crying, and terrific bass guitar. Sooner or later, the rain of misery stops, the sun comes out again, and the world starts anew.
It’s a law of nature, the happiness is bound to return.
And sure enough……. we have hurricane babies.
Meet Baby Dorian, 12 days early, 4lbs 8 ounces, born to mom and dad who returned to a dry home, with electricity intact, and a functioning fridge.
Can you stand it?????? They’re so cute. It’s babies!!!!!
While we mourn those lost in the storm, and we may whine about the cleanup……. the world spins, life begins anew….. We get another chance.
Then, a wave of happiness broke out. The happiness was everywhere if you get out and take time to look. Come and dance with me! Who could resist this sweet fellow?
Sorry, Democrats, but I just don't see all the racial angst that you say you see. America is brimming with beautiful people. Unity, harmony and love are right under your nose if you're willing to see it.https://t.co/nGOVbWUoXm
I could watch this all day long. She can bellow out pure silk and he can MOVE!
Therefore, while we’re all feeling good, smiling, and headed into a weekend, we’ll take this chance to discuss the rules one more time. Per Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
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.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT, “I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
