On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, you can find something here that will build you up a little . . . give you a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Count Your Blessings Sunday
Well, it’s just a few days before New Years Day and I suppose many people are occupied with making their New Year’s resolution lists, figuring out which of the New Year’s festivities they’ll attend or planning their own celebration, big or small.
It’s the end of a year, just after the joyous Christmas season. I think it’s a really good time to settle back, review the past year and take a good count of the many blessings we have as believers in Christ and in His finished work at Calvary.
Count Your Blessings
When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
~ Johnson Oatman, Jr., pub.1897
Believe and be blessed –
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2.9)
God gives many blessings to “whosoever believeth” in Jesus because he loves us.
For those who put their trust in Christ, God has provided many remarkable (perfect, actually) blessings. We are rich beyond our wildest dreams. Some of these blessings are:
When we believe, God counts our faith in Christ as righteousness.
“For our sake He [God] made Him [Christ] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him [Christ]we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Cor 5:21) “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” (Rom 3:22)
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. (Rom 5:1)
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. (Colossians 2.13-14)
When we believe, the penalty for our sins is paid by Christ’s death on the cross.
. . . who gave Himself for us, that He might purchase our freedom from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. (Titus 2:14)
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13-14)
. . . knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. (1 Peter 1:18-19)
When we believe, Christ’s sacrifice makes believers spiritually alive.
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, (Ephesians 2:1)
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved) (Ephesians 2:4-5).
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, (Colossians 2.13).
When we believe, we are adopted as God’s children.
But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, to redeem those under the Law, that we might receive our adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.” (Galatians 4:4-7)
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, (John 1:11-12).
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Fo;26r all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Galations 3:26)
When we believe, as a child of God, we are His heirs.
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.” (Galatians 4:6-7)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1:3-5)
When we believe, our sin nature is reconciled with God’s holiness.
Now all this is from God, who has restored our relationship to Himself through Jesus Christ . . (2 Corinthians 5:18)
For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him [Christ], and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say,whether things on earth or things in heaven (Colossians 1:19-20)
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:17-19)
When we believe, God forgives our sins.
All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.” (Acts 10:43)
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, (Ephesians 1:7)
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13-14)
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14).
When we believe, we have eternal life with God and Jesus forever . . . unending.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:14-16)
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:11-13)
When we believe, God’s Holy Spirit comes to live within us.
Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ (Galatians 4:6)
As the Holy Spirit lives in the believer, He brings about some life-changing results:
The Holy Spirit acts on a soul dead in sin and creates new life (Titus 3:5). This is the new birth Jesus spoke of. (John 3:1-8)
The Holy Spirit confirms to the believer that he belongs to the Lord and is an heir of God and fellow-heir with Christ (Romans 8:15-17).
The Holy Spirit makes the new believer a member of Christ’s universal church. This is the baptism of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:13)
The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to the believer to strengthen the church and serve the Lord for His glory (1 Corinthians 12:11).
The Holy Spirit helps the believer understand and apply the Scripture to his daily life (1 Corinthians 2:12).
The Holy Spirit enriches the believer’s prayer life and intercedes for him in prayer (Romans 8:26-27).
The Holy Spirit enables the believer to live for Christ and to do His will (Galatians 5:16). The Spirit leads the believer in paths of righteousness (Romans 8:14).
The Holy Spirit gives evidence of new life by producing the fruit of the Spirit in the believer’s life (Galatians 5:22-23).
The Holy Spirit is grieved when the believer sins (Ephesians 4:30), and He convicts the believer to confess his sin to the Lord so that fellowship is restored (1 John 1:9).
The Holy Spirit seals the believer unto the day of redemption so that the believer’s arrival in the Lord’s presence is guaranteed after this life (Ephesians 1:13-14).
When we believe, after we die, we will be resurrected in incorruptible, immortal spiritual bodies.
And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. (1 Corinthians 6:14) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)
Truly, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. All that we have needed and will need, from birth to eternity, has been provided for by God through the work of the Son. Thanks be to God!
Thank God for Blessings
We look at our country these days and see
All the bad things that happen to be:
Lies, corruption, thievery and fraud,
But we’ve seen the Light and so we thank God.
Thank God that we have enough to eat,
That we don’t have to live on the street,
That we have water, are secure and warm,
In wind and rain, we’re safe from the storm.
Thank God we choose work, there’s no slavery,
And for all of our friends and family
That after work we can rest and play,
And feel some contentment after our day.
We tend to lose sight that we’re truly blessed,
Living in comfort, not poor and oppressed,
While life’s twists happen and we feel deprived,
Others on earth fight daily to survive.
No food, dirty water, oppressive heat,
Sickness, disease, and filthy, dusty streets,
Babies and kids, bloated stomachs and flies,
Grotesque skeletons, no hope in their eyes.
Living inside wearing old gloves and coats,
Bone-chilling cold, all alone and remote.
Old and sickly, no medicine anywhere,
Dying alone with nobody to care.
There are ways to help the poor, to be sure,
Though it’s unlikely that there’ll be a cure.
We should all help in many different ways,
‘Cause the poor will be with us all our days.
From these situations, we all can learn
To look at our problems with less concern,
And truly thank God for all our wealth,
Our work, our families, and our good health.
For God’s our Provider, blessings from Him.
He’s met all our needs and freed us from sin.
He’s given us all, including His Son.
Praise God forever! May His will be done!
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20,21)
Wolfie doesn’t have enough bandwidth for me to post a list of my blessings.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
With Steve’s post on Orions shoulder and foot and this Sunday Bakocarl reflection, I have much to contemplate looking up at the stars and beyond. Thanks to both for the unintended but welcome coordination on deep thought Sunday!
Except Steve wouldn’t be caught dead being grateful to our Heavenly Father.
I “DISlike” your comment. It’s an ad hominem attack, TOTALLY uncalled for.
Here’s a fine example of the type of all-encompassing propaganda we must live with on a daily basis.
The 2020 Pantone Color of the Year is Classic Blue. It’s the exact shade you’d expect to see on a generic Democratic yard sign or campaign mailer.
It’s no coincidence that they chose Democrat Blue for a pivotal election year. They did the same thing in 2008 and 2016 (with bonus pink for “woman President”).
Although your average person probably doesn’t know what the hell a Pantone is, this decision affects them and the rest of us. Everyone from fashion designers to marketers to merchandising managers to publishers look to Pantone’s Color of the Year for guidance on what’s trendy. It’s one factor used to determine what celebrities wear, what clothes and home decor are stocked at your local stores, what non-political media like HGTV should promotes, and so on. In short, you’re going to see Democrat Blue everywhere in 2020. And if anyone questions it, they’ve got plausible deniability. “Oh, we’re merely following Pantone’s decision. You’re crazy if you think it’s a political thing!”
[I could write a massive post about the political connections of their other Colors of the Year, but don’t feel like writing an essay in the comment section. I’m convinced the cabal created this “Color of the Year” garbage solely to push their propaganda and Color Revolutions. Any financial benefits that come out of it are simply icing on the cake. PAN-tone. There’s always a grain of truth in their names.]
Color is deep psychology. So are many other things. Great post!
You probably know the Loescher Color Test. It is very simple but very accurate in determining a person’s current psychological/emotional state, not what the person thinks it is but what it actually is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCscher_color_test
Tonawanda
Thank you for sharing the site 🙂
I took the Loescher test and is right to the point. I can see however that the color is changing on any given mood or circumstance. That is why I love coloring Mandela when looking back I see the frame of mind I have been in. Reminds me of reflective journaling and when one looks back over time one sees the hidden.
I don’t think it’s terribly accurate. JMO. According to that color test I should be an outgoing person, which I am anything but.
https://www.quora.com/Is-the-luscher-colour-test-valid
The top answer gives a short and long answer. The long answer involves actual facts about how data should be used and gathered.
I don’t deny that people can be influenced by colors as far as mood goes, but what colors stimulate mood can vary from person to person. I like warm colors, my sewing room is yellow. My sister in law hated yellow, but liked blue, which is not my favorite color.
I think there’s a lot of manipulation that goes on with attempting to associate colors with specific ideas or some feelings.
The test does not test your personality, so whether you are outgoing or not is irrelevant.
But your point is well taken. I really don’t know the science behind this test. All I know is that in years past the results of the test seemed very true to those I saw participate in the test. It was fun at the very least.
I think that’s what it is – is fun. It’s pseudo science.
Very interesting!!!
Good catch, Sadie!
I hate it that the Dems stole the color Blue away from us and made it ‘theirs’.
The color Blue had traditionally been the color for Conservatives/Political Right…until the leftist Enemedia stole it from us and assigned us the color Red.
😕😠
which is why I REFUSE to give in to it. I wear blue, red, purple, whatever color I want–no one corrals me with a designated color…we can’t LET THEM appropriate colors–or rainbows for that matter.
no body pigeonholes me. period.
back to soothing coffee…
Right on!
I’m not going to start hating blue because the Dems have stolen it.
Steal it back!!
In fact, you thought I was done? the party of Donald Trump is RED,WHITE, & BLUE!!!!!!!!!
democrats should wear black…because this is their funeral.
Well the easy one is…2018, purple. Excuuuuuuse me, “Ultra Violet” which is a cutesy play on ultraviolet.
2002 – Red – War, war, war. Bonus points for associating Republican Red with war.
2007 – Red – Economic downturn + national discontent after seven years of Bush. Gotta associate that negativity with Republican red!
2017 and 2001 deserve an entire post on their own.
Hell, the propaganda is even in the color names! “True Red” and “Chili Pepper” [Bush Jr.’s a Texan and McCain was from Arizona].
well…then let’s give them BLUE balls!!!!!
I swear i will have my coffee and calm down…
😂😂😂
For me red=passion.
But, then I’m a theater person.
2000 is blue, too. Can’t believe I forgot that big election. 2000, 2008, 2016, 2020–all blue.
2004 is orange. It appears that Ukraine’s Orange Revolution (2004) took precedence over John Kerry’s campaign (and we all know why thanks to President Trump and Q).
The 2000 election is when the leftist media assigned the color Red to Republicans…and it stuck.
Here’s a pretty good article about the progression of assigning Red or Blue to the political parties:
https://electoralvotemap.com/the-origins-of-red-and-blue-states/
——— From the article:
The first public utterance of either red or blue states is credited to NBC News political director and anchor Tim Russert. Russert referenced George W. Bush’s potential in “red states” during a segment on the Today Show the week prior to the 2000 election. Russert did not take credit for the phrase in an interview with The Washington Post but the colorful distinction became ubiquitous following the election.
Russert referenced an MSNBC electoral vote map of projected victories for Al Gore and George W. Bush in describing “red states.” The networks’ use of red and blue states was replicated by The New York Times and USA Today, which introduced the blue/red maps into newspapers for the first time.
[snip]
By the 2004 presidential election, red and blue states jumped off network electoral vote maps and into the American political lexicon.
Funny, I did start a piece on color, but on the color gray being all the rage in home decor, though. I don’t get it. My preference is lighter walls with soft colors, but gray, no. And I have a friend in real estate who talks about the people coming into houses for viewings who complain that the paint jobs inside are not gray, and that the new counter tops are not granite. (Quartz wears better and is cheaper, but that doesn’t seem to matter.)
And the other colors that are appropriated like pink ticks me off to an extent. I mean the breast cancer color is one of my better ones, and I don’t wear it in April or October due to the propaganda and shouting down of the answers to the questions of how to prevent and cure the disease. It’s simple stuff that does not bring in profits to the pharmaceutical industry, and the pink sorts call it all myths. It’s not, at least not all of it, and the people of that industry are using fear to manipulate women when it comes to doing a simple thing like wearing a bra less than 12 hours a day.
Gray is COLD and depressing. They would hate my house. blue, green, pink, purple, tan with hand stenciling since I hate wallpaper. The tan is multi-color leather-look with galloping horse stenciling.
Granite counter tops are naturally radioactive and emit radon. This, of course, is hand-waved off by the industry as being “low levels” and “safe,” but why even add a fraction of radioactivity to your daily life and food at all? I just don’t get it.
The U.S. Capitol Building is made of granite.
That might explain a few things.
Yebbut, elsewhere in the world, blue represents conservatism.
Here’s the Christmas greeting from the UK’s Conservative Party:
To my eye, that actually looks like purple. A bluish shade of purple, but purple nonetheless.
Or it could be my monitor.
No doubt there is some purple in there.
For me personally, I generally avoid red, because I don’t think it’s “me”.
Plush, I never cared for pink socks and underwear for males. 😉
Better red than dead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
“Better red than dead” and “better dead than red” were dueling Cold War slogans which first gained currency in the United States during the late 1950s, amid debates about anti-communism and nuclear disarmament (red being the emblematic color of communism).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_red_than_dead
And red was appropriated from passion. Just remember that red light districts were and still are a reality.
Not that many people follow or have ever heard of Pantone anyway.
“Although your average person probably doesn’t know what the hell a Pantone is, this decision affects them and the rest of us.

Sadie – I think Pantone has got a massive over-the-top superiority complex – they only want us to think they decide the colors of the year.
I didn’t see anyone walking around in that last year’s coral color. Our lovely First Lady did not wear it at all and she’s got the hair/eye color and complexion to wear coral.
Melania probably refused to wear it because she knows the Color of the Year thing is a cabal/spook/C_A psy-op. And yeah, I did notice the coral at stores. Even my favorite pen shop was spamming my inbox with coral-colored pens and ink.
Boohoo – nobody sent me any coral stuff.
Checked HGTV on a whim. Found this sweepstakes. Like the cabal’s Satanic symbols, their color propaganda is everywhere. Next year, it will be covered in Democrat blue instead of coral.
Beautiful, Carl.
😊🥰👍
Nice work…and wonderful message.
Is that second poem, ‘Thank God For Blessings’, one of yours?
It’s great, if it is.
And yes, it’s good to reflect on the many Blessings that He has bestowed upon us.
😔🙏
Bill Still’s opinion on Rachel Maddow’s F.A..L…L is very fun to hear, and reassuring for people who are getting nervous.

It will be interesting to see if WaPo will now start being fair to Pres Trump…and start doing some honest reportage.
Is Bezos trying to get on PDJT’s good side now?
Bezos is building his own ‘space port’ in Texas.
With the advent of our President’s new Space Force…Bezos may be thinking that it would be better for him, going forward, to start being friendly with PDJT.
🤓😏
Doesn’t mean DJT will be friendly to him. At least I hope so.
Bezos should be happy he has enough funds to do space exploration and keep it private. If he has something Space Force needs, they will come to him.
Well…there is No Law in Space.
At least, not so far.
So there would be nothing to stop the ChiComs or the Russian privateers, from taking Jeff’s toys away from him, once he has launched them into space.
😉
He probably foresees the possibility that he will need the protection of the US Space Force, to keep his projects safe from space piracy.
Well, they can see how things are going…and they have a way to save face.
They can claim the CIA/FBI lied to them.
Whether they get called on that…will be an interesting thing to see play out.
He may be abandoning Brennan and company. WOW if so.
This is Bezos’ space company’s website:

.
This is the lander that he plans to be building:
And there’s that use of the color Blue again.
😕
Poor, poor Madcow…
I tweeted your meme on Bill Still’s timeline!
good one Harry!!
She’s being thrown under the bus.
Probably kicked to the curb too.
In fact, if you kick someone to the curb at the right time and in the right place (a bus stop), you can do both at the same time!!
1) Interesting conclusion, and I hope he is right about the significance of Wemple! Still has a great way to look at the article.
2) When it comes to communists, Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs are good to keep in mind. Communists NEVER admit the truth, regardless of the evidence.
3) Every single time I get a big kick out of “I am Still reporting on”
If you’ve got a name people will make silly jokes about, you might as well preempt the jokes.
Of course, that didn’t work out too well for Anthony Weiner.
Yes! And there is also something endearing about his deadpan demeanor and great voice. I have seen him with his wife, and I am still chuckling at the memory.
He’s awesome! Yes, I love his little endings. He’s a sharp guy, and I do appreciate him!!!
A “glitch”? ….Yeah, sure.
This border collie should be on a volleyball team!

I did a little checking on this ‘Ann Calvaresi Barr’…and she was/is a Hussein operative, promoted to that position as IG of USAID in 2015.
Before that, she had been a Deputy IG with the Dept of Transportation since 2010.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, yeah. This sounds plausible.
Even if it is something, it is not THE thing.
Jus’ sayin’
Now THIS would make sense. Even if there is more, publishing the financial games would go a long way to red pilling people like my high school classmates who are avoiding Washington “until this time in our history is over.”

USAID should ‘rethink its culture of partnership with implementers,’ inspector general says
Worth the read.
Barr wants more $$$ for her department and does a fine job of CYA.
The picture looking up from underwater towards an outstretched helping hand reminded me of doing a CESA drill for SCUBA. That’s Controlled Emergency Surface Ascent. Drop your reg at 60 feet and make it safely to the surface.
The important points are: (1) put one hand up — if you whack your head on something while heading for the surface out-of-air, your odds substantially decline; (2) look up — if you straighten your throat, you markedly decrease the odds of something really bad happening; and (3) bubble, bubble, bubble.
That last takes a little explaining. SCUBA is an interesting discipline because you never really deal with your problems — you just counterbalance them. If you’re 30 feet underwater, you have 30 psi pressing on the outside of you…..and if you had a rigid tube to the surfaces, you’d have 15 psi of air. All the air would be squeezed out of your lungs and you wouldn’t be able to inhale. (And, yes, this means that if you hold your breath and dive 30 feet from the surface, your lungs are crushed to roughly half their normal size.) With SCUBA, when you inhale at 30 feet, you inhale pressurized air so that it feels normal against the pressure of the water around you.
Going down to 60 feet, you have 45 psi outside, so the SCUBA apparatus feeds you air pressurized to 45 psi. Here’s the thing, though — if you stop breathing off SCUBA and head for the surface while holding your breath, your lungs will have 45 psi when you hit the surface and surface pressure is only 15. Imagine putting a grid across your chest where your lungs are with one inch squares — you might end-up with 100 squares over where your lungs might be. A 30 psi pressure differential is 3000 pounds of pressure in that space……from the inside.
So, when you start your CESA, and put your hand up and look up and check your gauges and trim yourself and start to kick, you start going “bubble, bubble, bubble” — even if you thought it was time to inhale. For the first ten feet it seems like a joke. In the next ten feet, things start getting weird — part of what you’re bubbling away is CO2, which would otherwise cause you to gasp, so that urge is getting weaker. You’re thinking “bubble, bubble, bubble” but it starts getting bigger without you even trying.
From 40 to 30 feet, you’re verging into “blop, blop, blop” territory — which continues through 20 feet. Your inhale reflex continues to decrease, and the last 10 feet are essentially “blaaaarrrrrrgh”. You get to the top, inflate your BC, and bob around a bit getting your bearings. It’s very peculiar and counter to your everyday experience — and you learn a lot in your performance memory.
If you do not follow rule #2 and keep your chin down, the pressures involved can rearrange your vital organs during the ascent — rule #2 gives rule #3 a margin of safety.
The “proof” which is cited in this Q drop remains, IMHO, inconclusive, because it is based on a faulty premise.
Here is the drop.

The DNC Data Breach Download Speed Points to an Internal Leak, Not an External Hack

orensicator’s first decisive findings, made public in the paper dated July 9, concerned the volume of the supposedly hacked material and what is called the transfer rate—the time a remote hack would require. The metadata established several facts in this regard with granular precision: On the evening of July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded from the DNC’s server. The operation took 87 seconds. This yields a transfer rate of 22.7 megabytes per second.
These statistics are matters of record and essential to disproving the hack theory. No Internet service provider, such as a hacker would have had to use in mid-2016, was capable of downloading data at this speed. Compounding this contradiction, Guccifer claimed to have run his hack from Romania, which, for numerous reasons technically called delivery overheads, would slow down the speed of a hack even further from maximum achievable speeds.
https://www.thenation.com/article/a-new-report-raises-big-questions-about-last-years-dnc-hack/
>>7643939
*****************
The problem is that the proof assumes exfiltration was internal to the act of “compression transfer” (movement of files from source into a compressed file or files). This is an unwarranted assumption. If I were hacking the DNC – and Guccifer is clearly a better hacker than me, because I’m not a hacker – but I am a competent IT process designer, and I can see this quite clearly – then I would perform the compression remotely on the DNC system so that compression transfer occurred locally to the hack, exactly like it was being done to a flash drive, if not to an actual flash drive on the system somewhere, and that exfiltration occurred *afterwards* at a good time – like any competent hacker would do.
The idea that exfiltration was done on the UNCOMPRESSED FILES makes little or no sense. I have no idea why these smart people are pushing the idea. Far better to compress, encrypt, exfiltrate. And the files would look exactly like they do.
Sounds like Q is pushing the idea, not “people”.
What am I missing?
I think we’re all missing something.
This seems a bit like (but not exactly like) cases where Q cites a piece of shill disinfo very carefully, not agreeing, but to show us AWARENESS. The fact that it’s SHILL or MORE COMPLICATED comes out later.
Like I said, the whole theory of compression rates over the network as a disproof of a hack never made sense for ANY reason to me – even as somebody’s disinformation. Anybody who has ever run the zip or gzip commands on a company system while working from home would know this. And yet the other side never advances the most basic arguments against this reasoning to shut it down? That doesn’t make sense, either.
The whole thing is weird as hell. Was it always a kind of controlled opposition argument? Disinformation to make it look like we were falling for things? I have no idea.
So is Bill Binney wrong in his explanation that it could not be a ‘hack’ due to the download speeds?
https://www.independentsentinel.com/nsa-whistleblower-thinks-he-has-proof-dnc-hack-was-a-leak-not-a-hack/
https://jamesfetzer.org/2019/03/bill-binney-and-larry-johnson-how-we-know-the-dnc-was-not-hacked-by-the-russians/
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/08/14/former-nsa-tech-director-bill-binney-outlines-dnc-emails-were-a-leak-not-a-russian-hack/
Yes – I think they have made an unwarranted assumption or two. I believe so, although I can’t find the original technical report now (gritty details), which is what I originally found UNCONVINCING. I felt like somebody did a bad, flawed analysis and they got Binney to put his name on it.
I am looking for the initial technical report and description, but I cannot find it, and I cannot even find links to it. So this is all from memory.
In other words, “IIRC”. So take that for what it’s worth.
The key disproof that is offered is based on the speeds of formation of files within archive files OR copied files OR both. What’s interesting there is that it doesn’t really matter. Based on how fast they formed, which was VERY fast, there was no way that the assemblage of the files, in whatever manner, happened over the network.
Yes, I will agree to that.
Why? Because “over the network” is a STRAWMAN. All I have to do to explain this, is to say that the operations which created the timestamps were done locally under remote command, and the data then exfiltrated by some means, which does not necessarily include the specific burst of data that is alleged by one side and then ACCEPTED by the other side. That, too, is an assumption.
The data is consistent with local copying and archiving.
SO?
That is my response.
SO?
Local copying and/or archiving is to be expected no matter what, whether under local control or remote control.
What I am seeing is a RUSH TO CONDEMN and a RUSH TO EXONERATE.
This link is the best to see what they really did:
https://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2019/02/why-the-dnc-was-not-hacked-by-the-russians.html
It’s not as detailed as what I had before, which was fully geeked out, but it’s better.
Based on FILE TYPES and ROUNDING of timestamps, they make an excellent argument that copying to a FAT storage system occurred. THAT is a good argument. But all it does is show that Mueller cannot be confident in calling it a Russian hack.
What they have done there, were it in math, would have been to “disprove a proof”. They have not proven the alternative / opposite.
Likewise, and less so, the arguments about file times only rule out some scenarios of a Russian hack – not all, and I would even say not the best.
So again, they have only done, what in math would be “casting doubt on certain methods that have been used for attempted proof, and showing that certain conjectures of DISPROOF are strong”.
There is a big difference between saying Mueller’s and Crowdstrike’s statement of a hack is PROVEN WRONG, and saying it’s VERY POSSIBLY WRONG.
They try to have it both ways in the article, and it’s a bit painful for me to read.
Was that intended as a “proof”?
I didn’t take it that way.
It seemed like the theme running through Q’s drops yesterday was “public awake is their greatest fear”…and “public understanding of events”.
Such as this jpeg that Q posted in 376:
.
‘The Nation’ is a leftist site.
That excerpt that Q posted just shows that even a leftist site like The Nation is starting to pick apart the False Narrative that the DNC & Russia Hoaxers have been pushing.
Yes, that makes sense. All in all, we are ALL moving to LOGICAL THINKING.
I understood everything you wrote up to the word assumes…but I trust your analysis!
HA! That’s better than me – I’m so confused by this thing, I don’t even trust MYSELF on it!!! 😀
Disinfo, intended to confuse the enemy by seeming to support a direction while going a different way.
BTW, the best test for disinfo is whether it fools your own troops.

Crooked Little Hillary
By Freedom Ninja
August 12, 2016
There was crooked woman,
Some call her Crooked Hill.
She married a man,
Who is known as Crooked Bill.
He took charge in Arkansas,
A clearly crooked Gov.
Some say the two together,
Create a really crooked love.
They decided to go national,
With a crooked little scheme.
Many voters were deceived,
By this crooked little team.
After her time as First Lady,
It took only a crooked minute.
For her to set up camp in New York,
And join the crooked little Senate.
There was never too much power,
For this crooked little witch.
If the polling winds would change,
Her crooked vote she would switch.
After years in Washington,
With her crooked little mates.
She became the crooked leader,
Of the Department of the State.
After more years of lying,
And putting us all in harms’ path.
She then caused Benghazi,
With her crooked little wrath.
She defends her email scandal,
With a crooked little fervor,
But we all know the problem,
Was more than a crooked server.
She makes bad decisions daily,
And she’s now the ISIS MVP.
She also wants crooked laws,
To take guns from you and me.
To join her on this plight,
She bought a crooked little Kaine.
If you support their crooked evil,
Our country will suffer crooked pain.
This year we have a choice,
To stop this crooked little liar.
Cast your votes with passion,
Unleash your Freedom fire.
There is but one person,
Who can chop down this crooked stump.
I cannot tell a lie,
That man is Donald Trump.
Ran into someone who still believed Trump mocked a disabled reporter. Can you imagine?
Here, this is perfect for your liberal relatives.
Watched this video again. I think some of my relatives might be ready to watch it now.
I don’t think there’s enough here to convince someone about the disabled reporter controversy, but this would be a good follow-on to the video that does have it.
Unfortunately, the one video I have seen on the subject was produced by an expressly Catholic organization, so the person I’d most want to red-pill with it will simply reject it as being something she cares to watch.

What I would like to know is where these cardinals are. There’s only so many at any given time, and 70 would be over half of the ones who are voting age. We only have, what 10, in the US, so where are they?

When I first saw that, I was shocked that they would interfere in the business of the Church.
I’m not so shocked anymore.
The more I think about it, the more I’m beginning to believe the Pope John Paul II years were a reprieve of sorts in the middle of the attempt to subvert the Church.
And I’ll tell you what, I was with about 30 from my HS class last night. Most of us still are active in the Church. One who wasn’t for a while said that at 8 pm on Christmas Eve she decided to go to Mass at 10. Talk about a stunner. Honestly, she wanted no part of all of it for years. She was happier than I’ve seen her in a long time.
And the TLMs (traditional Latin Masses) around here are packed. When I go to Adoration, I’m hardly ever alone. I went out to the Monastery last week, and there were more people Adoring than usual. The Dominicans, specifically, are full of younger priests and nuns. Think about what their primary devotion is.
Something is happening that is not a Catholic “spring” of the sort the globalists want, that’s for sure.
That’s a good sign. Thanks for sharing.
BTW, I love the Dominicans. They were the nuns who taught me in school.
We had Mercys, St. Joes, and Notre Dames. My mother had Loretos in college. The Mercys are fairly healthy. The others might get later in life vocations, but hardly any of those. They are dying out. Amazing that they were the ones who modernized, ended up collapsing.

so I’m still waiting for all those Senators who are running for POTUS to recuse themselves from the Senate impeachment trial–after all, they would be enriching themselves at the expense of a political rival if they vote for impeachment…we-want-a-“fair”-trial Pelosi should DEMAND it.

insurance scam–“multicultural” suspects–$46million
FTA
State Attorney Matthew Schneider has charged Dearborn residents Mohamad Abou-Khodr, 30; Nabil Chehadeh, 39; Ali El-Moussawi, 29; Bassem Farhat, 46; Hussein Wazne, 50; Bahia Zeidan, 28; and Suzan Berro, 20, as well as Dearborn Heights residents Hussein Abdallah, 36; Daniel Haidar, 30; and Linda Fawaz, 25, with the heinous crime.
The diverse group of suspects have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges including mail fraud, money laundering, and wire fraud. The government alleges that the 10 individuals garnered over $46 million in fraudulent reimbursement claims between January 2014 and November 2019.
snip
The indictment states that the multicultural suspects were allegedly operating dozens of pharmacies in the metropolitan Detroit area, primarily in Wayne County, although they were never actually opened to the public. They are accused of using these fronts to graft insurance cash by submitting falsified claims to co-pay assistance programs that were never bought nor distributed.
Authorities allegedly became wise to the scheme after claim administrators requested additional documentation or pharmacy audits. The defandents repeatedly stonewalled the requests and refused to submit internal audits, which arose further suspicion according to investigators.

Steve? these near you?? 17 drones in Colorado…so far law enforcement has no leadson who owns them or what they’re doing…
FTA
At least two county sheriff’s offices in Colorado are investigating a large band of drones that appear to have approximately a six-foot wingspan which have been seen in two eastern Colorado county skies during overnight hours. At least one report indicated that one of the drones got close enough to see inside a window of a house.
At least 17 mysterious large drones have been spotted flying search patterns over Colorado every night. However, authorities don’t know who is flying them nor what their intentions are.
They have been seen in the sky over Phillips and Yuma counties each night.
According to a December 21 post on Facebook by the Phillips County Sheriff’s Office, multiple reports had come in about sightings of the drones over the previous week and they had been investigating.
Both Phillips County Sheriff’s Office and Yuma County Sheriff’s Office were out on that evening tracking the drones.

It may have been in the comments on Zero Hedge, cess pool that they are, that it has been suggested that they are doing geological surveys for gas/oil possibly. They have been active at night because they are using radar and not necessarily visual in their searches. Private companies looking for viable areas to explore. Not really sure though. Drillerelite may know more about this in addition to Steve.
thanks CM!
makes sense (except for the looking in a window part)
I just find it wierd that no company is up front about the ownership and purpose.
Taking it they are doing mineral surveys, if they find valuable minerals they will try to buy the land as cheaply as possible through shell companies. Therefore they will not say WHAT they are doing. This is SOP.
That’s well southeast of me, and I haven’t heard anything about it.
Good, continuing the pressure…!

The 14-year-old boy suspected of fatally stabbing Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors has a mother with a stabbing of her own on her rap sheet, The Post has learned.
Thirteen years ago, the suspect’s mother, identified by police sources and neighbors as Katima Minton, 35, was arrested in a knife attack in Jamaica, Queens, where she lived at the time.
It was 1:30 in the morning and Minton and a second woman had gotten into a screaming match at 148th Street and 87th Avenue, according to a story that ran in The Post on Aug. 6, 2006.
“Katima Minton pulled a knife and lunged at the victim, whose identity was withheld, after they started fighting,” cops alleged, according to the story.

After what we’ve seen with mail-in ballots…boxes allegedly found after an election, boxes destroyed..campaign workers filling out ballots…when I fill mine out now I take it to the voting station and hand deliver but I still deep down wonder if it gets counted.
The machines are even more suspect to me.
Between the erosion of ethics (pols and voting place volunteers) and the obvious bias in tech fields (re; the voting machines) my confidence in fair counting is zilch
Here in South Carolina we don’t register by Party…
We don’t do mail-in ballots either… and we don’t defecate on the sidewalk… or in grocery stores.
CA sounds like an accident waiting to happen Molly…
CA MAFIA runs it, just as Drug Cartels run Mexican Government. Sometimes I think the rest of the country should vote them out… let Mexico have it back.
(Apologies to those American Patriots living in CA…)
PR..imo..the accident has already happened here in Ca. It’s a corrupted mess
I know Molly, just venting… and I don’t live there! Must be terribly frustrating for you … hugs and prayers…
It is PR especially knowing that I could walk away right now and live in lovely SC but I just can’t leave my daughter/kids quite yet.
Plus, there’s a small part of me that believes that the dark forces in the DemCom machine WANT rational thinking people to leave the State..part of their long range plan ?
I understand about leaving family Molly, and I totally agree about DS wanting Patriots to leave the state. We don’t know what 5 years of Trump in the Oval Office will do… hopefully rid us of the thieves in CA… 😉
And this is Orange County where they flipped it dt ballot harvesting the last time and major frsud. I honestly don’t know if we will see any changes in CA this next time. I was told by a signature gatherer that only about 600k signatures have been collected to recall Newsom, and they need a heck of a lot more than that. Also in nearly half the Congressional districts with dimms there are zero conservative challengers. And today I saw a headline that the numero uno issue with CA voters is “climate change “.
This is voter registrar fraud so I really dont see how voting when the govt is complicit in the actual fraud/suppression/etc will make a difference. Still we should vote bc its our duty as citizens, but this is a real sick system.
Does anyone stand against it?
When the legislature becomes ridiculously lopsided by votes, illegals and election manipulation like the ballot trickery above they can basically do anything they want and standing against it does nothing in a real way.
The impeachment debacle is a good parallel.
The system is too saturated with corruption to ever be fixed from the inside, IMHO.
Courts are going to have to force changes so at least the elections are fair.
Or CA will have to actually secede so that we can send troops in and put it through Reconstruction.
Yes indeed. Outside of CA is required, which is why I think we are isolated to a point. We correct what we can this time with voting while those who can help watch to see what we do. They help when possible but the people have to participate.
