For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition by Max Hulick for the Mass Effect video games:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is an illustration of the base a huge Tree with double doors inside a pointed arch. There are two beautiful white wolves standing guard on either side of the doors. The doors have a carved medallion near the top with simple geometric shapes within it. The leaves on the tree are orange and starting to fall, indicating this is in autumn. There is a mist hanging in the air, in the surrounding forest. Second Image: Is a cozy interior view of a stairway against the wall leading down into large area with overstuffed chairs and soft lighting. There is a bannister made of winding tree branches. Throw pillows and throw rugs add to the comfy atmosphere. Third Image: President Trump is sitting at his desk in the oval office, reading some papers. Sunlight is streaming in from one of the windows behind him, illuminating both him and the papers he is holding. An aide is standing beside the desk, and looks like he is waiting for President Trump to read what he is looking at.

Celtic Metal? Yeah, it’s a thing. How about some Lords of Iron:
I proclaim it loud and clear I proclaim it now and here God be praised and bless the men Women, grannies, dear children Whoever in the hell it be Who gave this song to you and me
Twas a lad named dear Cthulhu Who gave its tune to me and you Twas a dream, I swear it be That gave this line to you and me: We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
Fields a-burstin’ with their pride Be there shame if any died Turn the bitter Kool-Aid down Let not man nor baby frown We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
When I saw dear girl’s lament Babies’ blood to be our rent I tore my pockets, thanking God Greatest op of dear Mossad We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
For twas clear this mad appeal Born to kill the Green New Deal Came from somewhere high above Born of God’s eternal love We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
For though it might be CIA Or Putin’s girls in their sweet way We shan’t be picky who it was Whose hand that devil’s work undoes We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
So praise all spies and saboteurs Stealthy girl provocateurs Those who made my own life hell But saved our babies good and well We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
A million years, or maybe two There’s no rush, I dare tell you For God constructs where others steal And fool us with their Green New Deal We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
A viper’s plan as Irish spring A devil’s trick as papal thing Let Tree of Life bring huggers down Let babies smile, their buggers frown We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
And thus I bid you now good bye And walk off into fields of rye And leave you with this sage advice That Earth shall bloom as long there’s rice We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow.
Welcome to the QTree Open Thread! It’s a Happy Friday to all!! 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.
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. Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire. Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways.
This month of ROCKTOBER is dedicated to our ROCK STAR President DJT and lately, he has been on FIRE. Our President is justifiably mad about the origins of 2016 spying on his campaign and what the bad actors did to his people. “They” have falsely imprisoned his employees, and attacked his companies. “They” have harmed America. He’s ready to fight back and we need to pick up on his cue. He’s a WINNER!
President Trump is spewing fire and ash, laying waste to the press corps, a wide path of destruction…… and then suddenly, during the presser with the leader of Finland, he got quiet. He used the low voice, deliberate, monotone, precise elocution. Yeah, I remember the few times Dad did that voice, and it meant we were all in trouble. Every kid knows THAT voice…. and we know what follows that voice…. it’s THE LOOK.
Al Jones Dinner 2016
The LOOK was usually followed by the FINGER POINT.
This time, however, not only is the President taking on the Dems and the Press Corps, he and his Generals are taking on the Deep State – or more precisely partisan hacks remaining in the bureaucracies – not really sure it’s as pervasive as we think throughout the intel agencies. Many Presidents have tried to solve this problem, and failed. President Trump has said, “This can never happen to another President.”, and he’s right. Yet, we think we know the source of the problem.
This will be a battle royale. Do the people win, or do the “bad” bureaucrats win? Do the good bureaucrats have the ability to fight back? Where are the white hats?
Eisenhower admired patriotic intel agents and analysts with genuine sense of purpose and an honorable calling to serve their country. It was the overall Military Industrial Complex which concerned him.
And then, there was Kennedy. We all know the quote, “I will splinter the C_A into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind.” Yet, there’s this quote from Kennedy.
Lyndon Johnson had a very practical view of the C_A
Hold onto your hat, how about this one from Bill Casey? Are ‘they’ almost ‘complete’?
Let’s be clear, my own son came within an eyelash of an internship at C_A, and the local FBI guys… I love them, great men and would trust them with my life. They helped our town and solved a horrific murder. The counter-intel stuff, it’s completely different, and the malintent is different as well… all hyper-partisan hacks with palpable disdain for regular Americans. Our opponents are intelligent, cunning,…… and dangerously desperate. This would be the battle “Q” eluded to, for which the public was prepared in advance. Is this it? Is this the storm? You bet it is.
From Alexander Pope, 1711, Essay on Criticism, we get the line, “For fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.” Yet, President Trump is no fool, and this battle has been brewing in his mind for years, frankly, all of his life. His people and his family have been harassed in vicious ways; his own life has been threatened, surely. If this battle, the fight for control of our country by/for the people, instead of an unelected group of bureaucrats, is to be won….. then President Trump is our best hope.
President Trump is the perfect man at the perfect moment in history.
He needs every inch of our support, and more! All hands on deck.
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment, with a new government by you, the American people.
Candidate Trump
It’s time to do a little bit of cleaning. Out with the old and in with the new.
Need some music motivation while we are cleaning? My favorite, Edvard Grieg, Hall of the Mountain King, should do nicely.
Or we could return to our favorite Disney classic……. Flight of the Bumblebee, performed here by our sorely missed and favorite Trump supporter, James Woods, in the movie, “Shine“. How did Woods play Korsakov without dropping his cigarette ash?
Ahhh yes, Disney created our love for the classics when we were kids. Ready for something really spooky? This CARTOON was done in the mid 90’s, “A Meticulous Analysis of History”. Given what we know now, in 2019, watch it and see what you think.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT! “I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“…. and pray hard!! God may win, but President Trump can’t do it alone.
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

Be part of it. Bring your wisdom, your talents, your opinions, your investigations, your prayers, and your hopes to this thread.
I had no idea that Justin Raimondo had died. I was wondering why I never saw his tweets any more. Usually it was REPLIES to famous people, sometimes as retweets, where Justin would show up in my Twitter feed. SMART, insightful, replies or retweets, taking people to task for positions that were going to get us into another Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
I quickly scanned down his old timeline. It has been fully taken over by the staff at AntiWar, who now bring back some of Justin’s old columns, and keep his memory alive.
One of the tweets led me to this great article.
Well worth a read. Particularly if you believe my almost unbelievable theory that Justin’s strong and unwavering support of Trump, and his influence over the “intellectual libertarian and antiwar” segment of the potential Trump bloc, was ESSENTIAL to Trump’s victory in 2016.
The first place I ever read this guy was some guest column on WorldNetDaily during the Clinton administration. Justin was a gay conservative who looked like “the Fonz” and had his own website (kind of a big deal back then) called “AntiWar.com“. Well, it wasn’t really “his” site, but he was the Freddie Mercury of AntiWar. It sometimes SEEMED like his site. And yet, it was all about ANTI-WAR – not about him.
Justin was respected by Joseph Farah of WND – and that was enough for me. I paid attention. Justin and Joseph didn’t always agree, but they both cared enough to agree or disagree with each other, outside the stifling chorus of UniParty shills who kept up the FAKE NEWS that neither one had time for.
One of Justin’s best articles – the one that I never forgot – was the one where he took the entire LGBT movement to task for calling gay “normal”. His position was utterly logical. Gays have rights like everybody else, but the reason they are a minority – and a small one at that – is because they are FAR from “normal”. To call gays “normal” was, to him, robbing the very essence of what gays were – DIFFERENT. It was not just illogical to Justin to try to “normalize” gayness – it was DISHONEST.
See why I might like this guy? BRUTAL honesty – even with himself.
But “gay” was not the big issue to Justin. It was a minor aspect of his life – a reality that he simply dealt with, and accepted as a libertarian. The big issue for Justin Raimondo was WAR. But NOT as a typical libertarian. Raimondo was – oddly – very conservative for a libertarian, more so for a gay one. Justin was also too tough to be a simple peacenik, yet he wasn’t one of those horrible “bully pacifists”, either. He considered himself a “conservative paleo-libertarian” – which I interpret as going back to the most “limited government and keep the HELL out of foreign entanglements” people of all – the FOUNDERS.
And Raimondo had that same SPUNK that the Founders did. A kind of patient and determined yet hopeful RELENTLESSNESS – a refusal to give up. In that era, he would have fought alongside my own DAR ancestor against the British. He would have simply kept his “odd affections” a secret. Well, who knows. Maybe not. But he would have been a PATRIOT either way.
And YES, the idea of an ANTI-WAR patriot is somewhat contradictory, but then, so much of this nation’s founding BRILLIANCE was contradictory – back when were had discernment, and didn’t all have to believe exactly the same things to be patriotic Americans.
Justin was very similar to Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Pat Buchanan, and other libertarians and paleo-conservatives on the idea of war. And – unlike me – he was NOT FOOLED by the Bush clan.
But after George W. Bush, Justin would make the same mistake as me – voting for Obama in 2008. I think we did it for the same reason. McCain was itching to get us into a war. We both knew it. McCain helped sell Obama – exactly as intended.
Justin was a TRUMP supporter from the beginning, too, because he remembered Trump’s stand on IRAQ. This is EXACTLY where I was, too. There were many times that I retweeted Justin in his defenses of Trump, or tried to echo his wisdom to my followers.
And Raimondo was NOT A FAN of Crooked Hillary. NOT AT ALL.
Justin was a WEE bit too automatically defensive of Russia for my taste, but he was not a dupe. I could respect him when his anti-war knee jerked in time with the Kremlin’s, because I knew it was still under his control.
There were, however, times that I strategically backed Trump on bringing neocons into his campaign or administration, which is something Justin could never stand. Justin could NEVER believe that association with John Bolton was a good idea, even merely as a spokesperson and media ally of Trump. However, Justin was a kind soul, and he simply held his tongue when I tried to convince him that it would all be OK – that Trump could handle Bolton.
The thing is, I don’t think Justin TRUSTED Trump in the same way I did, and that fact is, at its core, probably RELIGIOUS. Trump, Pence, myself, and most other Trumpers TRUST GOD TOGETHER, so we tend to TRUST EACH OTHER. That makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Justin was raised a Roman Catholic, but he later described himself as “not a believer”, per Wikipedia.
However, if one goes back to THIS article about Pope John Paul II, and gives it a read……
…..one sees a few hints that “you can take the boy out of the church, but you can’t take the church out of the boy“.
So who knows. I would love to once again have the opportunity to celebrate the amazing, glorious, common-sense and ANTI-WAR Trump administration with Justin Raimondo on some ethereal form of Twitter.
After all, they say that with God, all things are possible.
This Night before Daughn Thursday 20191003 Open Thread is officially Open – 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!

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.

Still applicable this week. Since today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday I can imagine that Democrats will continuously be having one of these:
!
So, You’re mission if you would be so kind, is to wear this hat, vote and wipe their tears!
LANGUAGE WARNING! Skip this one if you have sensitive ears.
Welcome to the sports of October thread.
Well, the sports where the players actually respect the flag, anyway,
And in that spirit, here is the first lady of the national radio airwaves, and, back in the day, a staple anthem singer at the Philadelphia Flyers games, presenting Irving Berlin’s great hymn to the nation.
And this gracious and remarkable woman was called racist decades after she passed on to her reward. Shameful.
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.
The bible of hockey demonstrates what should be left on the ice. (Once again, if rough language is a problem for you, skip this.)
And now for some house keeping:
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 from time to time. Waiting to go through the metal detectors at your local arena, stadium or hockey rink would be a good time given the length of the ordeal.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
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, on the other hand is a moral imperative.
I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels: [2] I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.[3] In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul. [4] May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth. [5] And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord. [6] For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off. [7] If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me. [8] The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
This ROCKTOBER [01] [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!).
This month of ROCKTOBER is dedicated to our ROCK STAR President DJT.
HOWEVER….
The first day of this month is the 2-year anniversary of the scurrilous attack on MAGA, America, and all that is good and just in this world, at Las Vegas.
I read EVERY one of the autopsies.
The TRUTH that they could not hide – that they could not distort – that they could not flood with their PUTRID DISINFORMATION – failed to save the PLOTTERS from JUSTICE.
WE DO NOT FORGET.
WE DO NOT FORGIVE.
NOT UNTIL THERE IS JUSTICE.
We have not forgotten.
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
