His Way


There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way of death.


My Way Or God’s Way? (Genesis 27:1-46)

Frank Sinatra’s well-known song, “I Did It My Way,” was shocking for its blatant ungodliness. Of course what Sinatra stated plainly in that song, “I did it my way,” is true of every person who does not submit his life to Jesus Christ. Most people just aren’t as open as Sinatra in stating the controlling force of their lives.

In Genesis 27, four people illustrate Sinatra’s song. Isaac does things his way by trying to bestow the family blessing on Esau, in opposition to God’s revealed will. Esau tries to take back what he had already sold to his brother Jacob. When he is foiled, he plans to kill his brother. Rebekah deceives her aging husband into giving the blessing to her favorite son, Jacob. And Jacob lies to his father and outsmarts his brother. I think that what you have here are four self-centered people seeking their own advantage. They all did it their way, not God’s way. In the end they all came up empty and paid a high price for their selfishness.

Every person must have as a theme song in life either “I Did It My Way” or “I Did It God’s Way.” You would think that the lines would be clearly drawn: Every person outside of Christ would sing, “I Did It My Way”; every Christian would sing, “I Did It God’s Way.” But I find that many who profess to believe in Christ are really just living for themselves, often using God as the means to self-fulfillment. But the genuine Christian life is a matter of God’s confronting our self-centeredness and enthroning Christ as Lord in our hearts.

When we seek our own way, we never get what we want and we pay a high price:

(1) If we sow to the flesh, we’ll reap from the flesh. The law of sowing and reaping is as true for God’s people as it is for unbelievers. If you live for the pleasures of the flesh, you will reap from the flesh corruption (Gal. 6:7-8). If you live for the things of this world, you may get them, but you’ll be poor before God.

Some may protest: “But we’re under grace, not law!” But remember, Paul warned about sowing and reaping in the very letter where he strongly argues for the grace of God – Galatians. You can’t plant spinach and harvest sweet corn. While sin may taste sweet in your mouth, it will be bitter in your stomach and you’ll wish you had never tasted it! That’s true for believers under grace.

(2) You can’t thwart the ultimate purpose of God, so why not work with Him, not against Him? It is utter futility to fight God. It may seem as if you’re going to be able to get away with your plan. But “He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord scoffs at them” (Ps. 2:4). Man’s sin can never thwart God’s purpose. It may appear that things are not under God’s control and that the forces of evil are going to turn world history to their own ends. It’s only an illusion. Even the wrath of man will bring ultimate praise to God (Ps. 76:10). God, not man, determines history. You can either smash yourself to bits trying to fight against God or you can submit to His purpose. As the apostle Paul and millions of others can tell you, life is a lot more pleasant when you don’t kick against the goads.

(3) Godly ends do not justify wrong means. Was it God’s will to give the blessing to Jacob? Yes! Was it right for Rebekah and Jacob to gain the blessing through deception? No! Methods do matter! Wrong methods don’t become right just because they work, even when they help accomplish God’s purpose. We live in a pragmatic culture, and many Christians have bought into any method that works. Just because a marketing scheme brings people into the church does not make it right. God’s work must be done in His way.

(4) The way to find your life is to lose it for Christ’s sake. Hebrews 11:20 states: “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.” How can that be, when it seems that he was acting in the flesh? The answer is in Genesis 27:33, where a trembling Isaac realizes that he has really blessed Jacob, not Esau, as he intended. He admits, “Yes, and he shall be blessed.” At that point Isaac realized that he and Esau had been fighting against God and they had lost.

Many Christian counselors are telling hurting people, “Assert yourself! Stand up for your rights! Don’t be codependent! You’ve got a right to some happiness in life, so go for it!” But God’s Word is clear: If you seek your own way, you won’t get what you want and you’ll pay a high price in family conflict. If you’ll die to your way and seek God’s way, He will give you the desires of your heart. You’ve got to decide which will be your theme song: “I did it my way,” or, “I did it God’s way?”

*https://bible.org/seriespage/lesson-52-my-way-or-god-s-way-genesis-271-46


I Did It His Way

Yes, all the times, I’m sure You knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
Down on my knees, I would call out
You faced it all
And stood me tall
I did it Your way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it Your way

For what is a man, what has he got?
He’s full of sin and he has naught
I say the things I truly feel
Respectful words of one who kneels
The record shows
You took the blows
I did it Your way

Yes, it was Your way


All In His Hands

Men are weak in this life, lacking strength.
We must lean on the LORD’s strong right arm.
He, all-knowing, will work things for good
And, best of all, keep our soul from harm.

Trust in His timing. Wait for the LORD.
Though man’s troubles lie heavy on him,
There’s times and ways for everything,
Even when the days seem dark and grim.

Read His Word. Count on His promises,
Everything He said will come true.
He’ll deliver you from all your fears,
And give His joy and His peace to you.

Wait for His answers, He’ll give you strength,
All you who put your hope in the LORD.
You’ll mount up with wings like eagles,
And run, not tiring, your strength restored.

Believe in all His miracles,
Everything is possible with Him.
For though a loss is certain with man,
With God it will become a big win.

Rejoice in His goodness all the day,
Proclaiming His love in the morning.
Pray with songs and Psalms through the day,
Recall His faithfulness in the evening.

Relax in His presence, be still and know,
Though outside it rages with storm.
Within your heart you know He is Lord,
And He holds you in peace, safe and warm.

Hear His call and come near to God,
Come near and He will come near to you.
Whatever besets you in this life,
He holds your hand and will see you through.


Seek His Face

The days drag on, trudge slowly past;
The night brings sleep, restless and light.
The new day, yet still hours away,
Awake, but not.  Nothing feels right.

A darkness is here, all around,
A world turned sour, a bitter taste.
Menace and malice rule the day;
What goodness remains, turned to waste.

These feelings belie Christian hope.
Thoughts stray away from promised goals
That God has given us to see
As the journey’s end for our souls.

Our fallen, broken world reveals
Not the forest, but trees, diseased,
Though we see a much different sight,
When we look upward from our knees.

We seek God for worship and praise,
And catch small glimpses of His face.
He knows our needs better than we,
And fills us with his mercy and grace.

We’re on earth but for a short while,
And see through a glass, dark and dim.
From those things we see and endure,
We learn and grow to be like Him.

As we look toward our journey’s end,
We see the forest, not the trees;
The dwelling place Christ has prepared,
Full of wonders we can’t conceive.

Remember now, we’re on this earth,
Living but for a flash in time,
Yearning to hear in eternity
“Welcome, beloved, children of mine.”

We’ll persevere; we’ll keep the faith;
We’ll run the race, and win the prize.
We’ll be with God for eternity,
And see Christ’s face before our eyes.



20200321: Significant Breakthrough on China Virus.

This will be a layman’s explanation. We all have questions, but we need to understand the answers. Know this, amidst all the chaos of this week, something amazing happened in a laboratory in France…..and… a hospital in New York. Yet, the media is mad as hell about it.

Grab a cup of coffee and let’s run through the particulars. First, we have to pierce the veil of the media narrative.

Beginning two days ago, the President began talking about promising results from studies on the drug Chloroquine, and the generic HydroxyChloroquine, when taken with a Azithromycin (which is a Z-Pack). Immediately, the FDA Commissioner, Stephen Hahn, came out to poo-poo the study and assert his bureaucratic control. In perfect lockstep, MSNBC and CNN accused the President of selling false hope to the American people. The separation between what the MEDIA claimed the President said, and what the FDA Commissioner said, is the source of contention, and where the panic-driven media have staked their claim of “the President is not compassionate”. Yes, it was the source of the argument between Peter Alexander of MSNBC and the President during the WH presser on Friday, March 20, 2020.

https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1241223361058856963

Stephen Hahn, the FDA Director is a bureaucrat, and this might be the source of the problem. We shall refer to this Rollcall article here: https://www.rollcall.com/2020/03/19/fda-walks-back-trump-claims-on-covid-19-drugs/ Follow the typical hyper-partisan verbiage of the text, and the LACK of reporting of the other side of the story from the Trump Administration:

 …..it is unclear what policy changes are being pursued outside of the agency’s existing procedures. (The media does not understand Trump Time and does not understand the President of the USA does not require permission from the media to act during an emergency )

 FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn said the agency hoped that drugs already approved for other uses might be safe and effective in treating the novel coronavirus, and he encouraged doctors to consider the FDA’s “compassionate use” process to treat patients with experimental products. (President Trump compared “compassionate use” to “Right to Try” to explain it to the public, but Hahn didn’t like the comparison, thus the media assumed the President was ignorant.) Hahn hung his hat on the technical: The key difference between “Right to Try” and FDA’s compassionate use is that doctors, patients and drug companies that participate don’t need to get the FDA to approve the individual course of treatment. (In other words, in one situation Hahn’s FDA would be involved and in another case the FDA would not be involved…… again it’s all about Hahn and makes no difference to the public)

“The FDA didn’t reply to questions about Trump’s comments that potential treatments would be made available “almost immediately” or how data collected in foreign countries might inform the FDA’s decisions.” (Thus the MSM took this as a cue to dismiss the French study, the entire article barely mentions it) (We learned later, from congressman Mark Green, who is a former Army Flight Surgeon, and been briefed in a classified setting on Coronavirus, the medications will be given to those infected in the USA and data collected for further study, according to his interview linked below).

 Trump gave an optimistic timeline for … remdesivir, an experimental HIV and antiviral drug that has not yet been approved by the FDA, and hydroxychloroquine, a drug approved to treat malaria and arthritis. Here are Trump’s exact words: “Clinical trials are already underway for many new therapies, and we are working on scaling these to allow many more Americans to access different drugs that have shown good progress,” Trump said. 

But Hahn suggested that both products would only be available through some of the FDA’s current protocols until they were formally approved. (In other words, I am the bureaucrat in charge of the process and I own the process). Yes, Hydroxychloroquine is approved in the USA but not for this new disease. Hahn ….hoped clinical trials would be pursued to find out if hydroxychloroquine is effective. (Which does NOT necessarily mean he is ignoring the foreign data) In fact, from Hahn, buried later in the article: “If treatments that are known to be safe in Europe, Japan or other nations are effective against the virus, we’ll use that information to protect the health and safety of the American people,” he said.

Hahn talked about convalescing plasma (taking samples from those recovered to help those afflicted) and …. hoped these tools might provide relief for COVID-19 patients and provide a bridge for three to six months before anything is officially approved.  (Again, Hahn exercising his bureaucratic control over the process and running up against a President who works in “Trump Time”.)

Trump said hydroxychloroquine “has shown very encouraging early results” in treating COVID-19 and that his administration would “make that drug available almost immediately.”  Trump also talked to the Governors about the drug on Wednesday night. Yet Hahn wouldn’t commit to any timing for when hydroxychloroquine would be approved for treating COVID-19 or made available for that purpose. He said he wanted a clinical trial, which typically takes years. Yet, from Laura Ingraham, we see: Lenox Hill in New York among many hospitals already using Hydroxychloroquine with very promising results. One patient was described as “Lazarus” who was seriously ill from Covid-19, already released.

From FDA Commisioner Hahn again: “We want to be sure this is done well and right ….” Hahn said. Because it’s a drug that has been around for a long time, he said, “We do have a lot of information about the side effects of the drug, …helps in terms of expediting it.” But while he said that “we are working as quickly as we can,” he wouldn’t speculate on a timeline. (Um, we’re already using it in the USA, we’re not waiting on Hahn)

Hyper-Partisan again: Some of the president’s critics said the remarks were confusing and betrayed a lack of knowledge about how medicines come to market. “At the White House press conference today, President Donald Trump continued to spew misleading, overly optimistic and often incoherent statements about potential treatments for the coronavirus that may be on the horizon,” Michael Carome, health research group director at the liberal consumer advocacy group Public Citizen,….. (So glad to have the opinion of a hack – Can we imagine by this time, given a global pandemic and the pressure of an economic disaster, the President understands the process entirely?) Plus…… (Later we learned, Dr Rigano, co-author of the French study claims President Trump “has slashed more red tape at the FDA than any other President in history” – repudiating, with first hand knowledge, the claims of the President’s critics)

https://www.rollcall.com/2020/03/19/fda-walks-back-trump-claims-on-covid-19-drugs/

Therefore, we can see the media attempts to tear apart the President’s efforts, paint the Trump Admin as inept, and question his personal intelligence and judgement. It’s a political effort…. during a global pandemic, and intentionally misleads the public.

So………… what is the real story about a possible prophylactic or therapeutic or cure for the virus plaguing the world? Well, once the media/bureaucrats are out of the way, it looks good. Very good.

We heard about the study in France, with 40/40 positive results: Dr. Gregory Rigano, Advisor to Stanford Medial School and co-author of the study.
“Well controlled, peer-reviewed study” (Dr Fauchi claimed from the podium today this was NOT a peer-reviewed study and the media seized on this point) carried out by eminent infectious disease control expert, Dr. Didier Raoult, MD, PhD, Southern France, in which he enrolled 40 patients with a 100% recovery rate.
Rigano’s interview with Tucker Carlson: WATCH THIS (2 minutes)

Need more details? In the interview, Rigano gave a link to his twitter feed @riganoesq or his new website covidtrial.io and here it is https://www.covidtrial.io/

Link to the actual study includes an interview with Dr. Raoult found below. (7 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydcrROJFEU0

Study was immediately accepted to International Journal of Microbial Agents by Elsevier Pharma.
A cure rate of 40/40 is a 1/10,000 chance and VERY promising, statistically impossible to ignore. To put it in context:
A virus is said to be incurable (which is why anti-virals are so common and effective). First company to cure a virus was Gilead (which is currently in third stage trials with Remdesivir, confirmed by FDA Commissioner Hahn) when they cured Hep C. This is the second EVER possible cure for a virus.

This kind of news should be shouted from rooftops and ring across the world. Do we have any MORE proof? Well, yes, we do.

We heard the cocktail of Chloroquine + ZPack has also been tested in Aussie and China from various sources on-line and a US Congressman. So, we started looking for the actual sources and found the China study, but still looking for the Australian results (will update when we locate). Found another from Canada. The key is in the ability to shed the virus. https://twitter.com/MatthewEGunter/status/1240971280008073216

From China: Results are definitive.

“The drug is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China for treatment of COVID-19 infection in larger populations in the future.”

https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bst/14/1/14_2020.01047/_pdf/-char/en

Booooommmmm! China is officially using Chloroquine as an effective treatment for COVID-19.

Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is spreading rapidly, and scientists are endeavoring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment in China. Chloroquine phosphate, an old drug for treatment of malaria, is shown to have apparent efficacy and acceptable safety against COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multicenter clinical trials conducted in China. The drug is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China for treatment of COVID-19 infection in larger populations in the future.

China study: The entire document, “study”, link can be found here: Breakthrough: Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of COVID-19 associated pneumonia in clinical studies Jianjun GaoZhenxue TianXu Yang https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bst/14/1/14_2020.01047/_article 2020 Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 72-73DOI https://doi.org/10.5582/bst.2020.01047Browse “Advance Publication” version. Here is the direct PDF to the China study: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bst/14/1/14_2020.01047/_pdf/-char/en

From Canada:

Conclusion: Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.

https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-2-69

100% of virus gone in 6 days, sometimes 3 days.
Studied against a control group. The cocktail together works but small studies. Drugs are already being prescribed in USA. Data will be collected from those given to those who are currently sick.
Chloroquine is currently open and able to be prescribed right now, no restrictions, and Zpacks are readily available, according to Congressman Mark Green, former Army Flight Surgeon.

We know Hydroxychloroquine is a generic, “been on the market for over 50yrs, with a quality safety profile” according to Dr. Rigano and backed up by FDA Hahn above. AND………. we’re already using it.

There are 6 million tablets coming to the USA, from Teva in Israel
https://www.tevausa.com/news-and-media/press-releases/teva-to-donate-potential-covid-19-treatment-hydroxychloroquine-sulfate-tablets-to-hospitals-nationwide-/

And another 3 million tablets from Bayer in Germany. “Resochin, made of chloroquine phosphate and an approved treatment for malaria, is being evaluated in China for its potential use against COVID-19, the disease caused by the fast-spreading coronavirus.” ” Bayer said the drug is currently not approved for use in the United States and the company is working with appropriate agencies on an emergency use authorization for its use in the United States.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-bayer-idUSKBN21637E

Then, this announcement came in from Novartis and everyone took notice: 130 million doses!

So, what are we supposed to think?

When all else fails, use common sense. Notice the patterns and slice through the double-speak of medically-specific definitions. Here is a good explanation – 6 minutes.

We know Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine are malaria drugs. With 3 million Chloroquine tablets coming to the USA from Germany, 6 million Hydroxychloroquine tablets coming from Israel, 130 million donated from Novartis for worldwide use, …. Does anyone really think we are expecting a malaria outbreak in the USA? And would the President of the USA request such an emergency shipment, work 24/7 to gather that much material across the globe, for a potential malaria outbreak, when people are dying from COVID-19?

No, of course not.

All actions indicate the President and his team are trying to stop Americans (and the rest of the world) from dying and pulling every trigger they can find, slashing bureaucratic red tape, to do so. They need to get the media out of the way or the media needs to communicate clearly with the public….. and we sure as heck need to get the bureaucrats up to speed.

Fauchi, from the podium on March 20th, tried to explain to the media, paraphrasing, “We’re trying to make these medications available to the American people, while collecting information for the protocols required/desired by FDA”….. which would be the results of Chloroquine+ZPacks…… given to American patients….. which is already happening. I believe the Univ of Michigan will assemble results of 1500 patients for further analysis, but do not have a hard source. Most of us understand what Fauchi is trying to do here, but the media ignored it, focusing on the argument between Peter Alexander and the President, which was, in context, centered on this very issue….. and the media carried the headline of a US President which did not care about the people into the weekend.

In fact, if this works, we could be going back to work fairly quickly. Dr. OZ, familiar to most Americans, was ecstatic by these studies on Friday, March 20th. By Saturday March 21st, 8:15am Eastern, FOX and Friends, Dr. Chris Martenson, toxicologist, also explained results in these small studies, “Most promising thing we’ve seen thus far” and “pretty dramatic results”. And Dr. Martenson clearly explained what the President, Dr. Fauchi, and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn should have stated in a more clear way, “We’re going to be holding live trials”. In other words, we will closely monitor patients who receive these medications, but the USA is not waiting around.

It is as though the left would rather NOT have a “cure” or a “therapeutic” for the virus if Trump succeeds. The MSM media blue-check marks were furious and dismissive. The twitter mob was angry today about good news, and threw insults with ZERO knowledge about the study from France, Australia, or China. Sad.

Strange times.

20200320: Dear CoronaVirus/ COVID-19/ China Virus/ WuFlu, Daily Thread

For the time being, given our national emergency, we are switching to DAILY COVID-19 threads instead of weekly threads. Your comments and updates are most welcome. PLEASE continue to include your valuable information, hard source links, and local observations on these COVID Daily Threads. Additionally, within these Daily Threads, we will try to include links to government and official pressers, so those who no longer have cable can remain informed.

We’ll get through this crisis, together. As a group, there is probably no one better prepared than we are.

For our newcomers: The Q Tree community has been diligent in covering the threat of Coronavirus, COVID19, Wuhan FLU. We started accumulating information about this virus in mid-late January, in what became almost weekly threads. We’ve been weeks, if not months, ahead of MSM outlets to vet rumors and other medical papers, etc.

Primary Update Links:

In our past weekly threads, we assembled information on the following:

  • Primary update links. The dashboard from Johns Hopkins which counts “official” cases all over the world, the CDC, and WHO, and includes the links for our past threads.
  • Hard Data Medical Information- Explanation about testing, reliance on China for drugs, analysis of NE Journal of Medicine results and other published papers.
  • Vaccine and theraputics (new/old drugs to alleviate symptoms) news and updates 
  • Trump Administration response (the timeline and links to various agencies)
  • China Responses, timelines, research, attempt to cover actions, or secrecy in results discovered.
  • An aggregate of info/responses from other countries, listed by country.
  • Economic impact from around the world. A change in economic activity will indicate a “return to normal”.
  • Speculation/debunking on how the virus started
  • Media Bias, political response, and debunking section, like the article from AP News, overt bias from Politico, inflammatory headlines, etc.  
  • Other medical info to boost immune system, herbal remedies, ways to keep your house clean and NOT spread the virus to others. Excellent information to incorporate into daily lifestyle.
  • Hard links for OTHER valuable sources/blogs and a brief sentence or two about what they provide
  • Other news items

Our weekly updates. timelines, collection of valuable information, can be found here:

Please try to keep your sense of humor during this National Emergency, and remember, patience is a virtue.

Love to all!

20200320: Dear KMAG Open Thread.

Welcome to Friday’s OPEN THREAD at the QTree! It’s the weekend and time to crack open a beer and put some steaks on the grill, if and only if you can get to a grocery store! Thank you for the Thursday hand-off TrumpIsMine. Thank you to Wolfie for keeping us all organized, up and running. What would we do without FLEP’s News Roundup to keep up? Thank you, Flep. Hat tip and a hearty thank you to Wheatie, Dep, BakoCarl, Michael, Steve in Colorado, all contributors and the lurkers!

We don’t believe in political correctness at QTree. Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time. Important Guidelines are outlined here in the January 1st open thread, with an addendum on 20191110. In other words, please keep it SOMEWHAT civil. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

What a week this has been. It’s one to tell your grandchildren. It’s amazing how clear everything has become. Past betrayal by Wall St., political leaders and their lobbyists led to the hollowing of America. Then, …….. came the opioids. We were down on the mat, beaten and abused, almost dead, ….. when this guy decided to run for President of the United States. Our ears perked up, and with what could have been America’s last breath………. we arose and decided to fight once more.

And we won. Everyone else was shocked, gobsmacked, that we won. We weren’t surprised at all. We knew what was happening in China, at the southern border, the “new normal” which made no sense, and the complete repudiation of “blind justice”. It was time to right the ship. The press was very upset. We challenged their authority. The agencies were mad, they thought they were “elite”, while we saw them as fat and overpaid bureaucrats. The establishment of both parties was furious, they assumed we would listen and blindly follow.

Do you remember the Obama years? When you thought you were the ONLY one who felt like something was wrong? Then suddenly, there were millions of Americans who felt the same way?

Our spirit wasn’t dead and gone. We just forgot who we were for a little while. We’re Americans. If something is broken, we fix it. But wow, we had no idea how much was broken in the USA.

We had to fight our own agencies who worked against the American people.
We had to fight against our own press.
We had to fight bad guys.
And the really bad guys, the kind who stab you in the back but smile to your face.
Members of Congress and farmers from across the country rally for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on the National Mall in Washington on Sept. 12, 2019. (Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times) We had to protect our own.
And speak up for our police and military members.

The more we fixed, the more problems we found, but we grew stronger.

And we grew bigger.

America kept winning with this guy.

And then, the real spirit of America, with Trump’s strong leadership, spread all over the world. He inspired BILLIONS of people to take back their countries, question their leaders, and demand more.

To Hong Kong
To the UK and citizens sick and tired of the EU.
To the election of Bolsonaro in Brazil.
We still have to fix Canada
But Scott Morrison in Australia is a good guy.
And we’re working on Argentina!
Washington : Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hugs President Donald Trump as Modi departs the White House, Monday, June 26, 2017, in Washington. AP/PTI(AP6_27_2017_000035B) To India……..

Trumpzilla, more precisely, the spirit of people who long to live free, with competent leadership, was growing all over the world.

The Italians love President Trump and Salvini. Time to help out Italy with better leadership.

Our economy, our oil dominance, our unemployment numbers, trade policy, more opportunity for minorities, the return to manufacturing,…… America was firing on all cylinders…….even as the left ran an Impeachment sham, and the media+DOJ/FBI lied to the world about Russia . Every day was Christmas with our guy.

Until a little virus from China showed up, and threatened to bring darkness to the world.

Our stock market lost 1/3 of value in about 3 weeks. At Q Tree, we knew it was coming. We were miles ahead of the MSM….. cuz they were occupied with SHAMMPEACHMENT. Millions of people will be laid off, businesses destroyed, and now, an attack from Saudi and the Russians on our oil sector. We’re told to stay at home to save our very lives. Okay, fine. We’re going to do what is necessary………. but so help me GOD, the other side of this looks very different for the politicians who put us here. Trump was right about China. Politicians and Wall St took a cheap price from China, but the COST was too much.

Can you imagine America staying at home, locked away for 3 months? Not sure if we would make it three weeks. People are starting to question their leaders about an over-reaction and keeping a “shelter-in-place” order will get dicey, especially when tyrannical leftist mayors and governors use the Virus as an excuse to release prisoners or establish a ban on guns.

But……… does anyone think we won’t come out of this? And seek retribution for our temporary imprisonment? Nah, I’m a believer.

And if EVER there was a guy to lead the world out of darkness, death, grave threats, and give the power back to the people, it’s this guy………

No doubts, not even a smidgen. Understand, if the governments of the world are able to portray themselves as the saviors of the people, we lose it all. We go back, to the idiots in power. We cannot waiver at this time. Our storm is here.

We’re holding fast. We’ll never give up. Too late to put the genie back in the bottle. So, say a little prayer, we’re going to need all the help we can get.

Remember Wheatie’s Rules:

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

Set your jaw, be determined. We have a fight on our hands. We’ll meet at Wheatie’s treehouse in the morning.

ChiCom-19 as a 4GW Tsunami

I’ll say this much – the people who actually BELIEVED the Chinese Communist LULLPROP disinformation that “Chinese can’t invent anything” are going to be busy hiding the evidence for the rest of this fourth-generation war, and probably LONG AFTER THAT.

Teaching Americans not to respect our enemy was smart. Teaching Americans to teach that to each other was – dare I say – inventive.

But far more inventive was the new Chinese Virus, a.k.a. Wuhan Coronavirus, a.k.a. COVID-19, a.k.a. ChiCom-19. I shall be using the latter designation, despite the fact that someday we will likely use some captured Chinese military codename for the virus.

I have already talked about this virus as a 4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) bioweapon HERE:


ChiCom-19 as a 4GW Bioweapon

This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs. Enjoy. W This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents …

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/03/17/chicom-19-as-a-4gw-bioweapon/

Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) has many definitions, and I will defer to originator William S. Lind and his followers for the official one. But for me, it can best be described as “radar war”. It is more about direction than magnitude. More about broadcast than visitation. More about “over there” than “right here”. More about “them” than “us”. More about “information” than “mass and energy”.

Here is Wikipedia’s entry for 4GW under “Modern Warfare”. You will see that it’s nothing like mine, but that’s OK. Pick whatever you want.


Fourth generation

Main article: Fourth generation warfare

Fourth generation warfare (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a violent ideological network. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and safety.

While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgencies and the Indian Wars are examples of pre-modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non-state side trying to implement their own government or reestablish an old government over the one currently running the territory. The blurring of lines between state and non-state is further complicated in a democracy by the power of the media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_warfare

One good way to look at 4GW is this way:

4GW is what the ChiComs do by nature, which Trump and Flynn understood, and which is why China had to try to stop them, using China’s 4GW assets all over the planet.

4GW is all about ASYMMETRY, or rather what everybody on this planet calls asymmetry, which is, to some extent, WRONG. What they really mean is a KIND of symmetry which involves small things balancing large things.

O_O and o_o have a certain symmetry that most people call symmetry.

o _ O and O _ o also have a certain symmetry, but everybody calls this “asymmetry”. WHATEVER.

I mean more like the second case, where there are “more apparent and more significant structurally balancing inequalities”.

A 4GW bioweapon isn’t going to be stupid like a nuke. The reason we HAVE 4GW is because of the stupidity of nukes. No – a 4GW bioweapon is likely to be rather unexpected. It may have MINIMAL biological effects, to HIDE its threat, and to allow plausible deniability, but at the same time, it may have devastating ORTHOGONAL EFFECTS.

You see what I’m sayin’? It might be VERY smart – even INVENTIVE.

Now, let me get straight to the point.

Tonight, watching a PBS special presentation of NOVA – actually a very old one – I suddenly realized that the ChiCom-19 virus isn’t just any old 4GW bioweapon – smart and inventive as that may be.

No – it’s designed to be the CENTERPIECE of a very cunning type of radiative warfare that we have never seen before.

I then realized that the ChiComs KNEW that the first historically significant use of a bioweapon could not be some crude bullshit like a terrorist attack. It had to be something completely new and unseen – JUST LIKE THE WEAPON ITSELF.

The PBS special was about the 2011 Japan tsunami that took out a significant part of Japan’s northeastern shoreline. And as I watched the program – both the graphics of the tsunami waves racing across the Pacific, and the very peculiarly non-obvious and victim-surprising dangers of the tsunami – I realized that the ChiCom-19 battle plan was build on the principle of a tsunami.

I even watched the wave race out and strike Hawaii – where there were NO DEATHS due to “over-reaction” by local officials, and realized what in the heck Mike DeWine was doing.

ASYMMETRIC DEFENSE.

Which is why old-school thinkers like Bill Mitchell – who try to linearize everything – are the SUPPORTERS, and guys like Trump and DeWine are the LEADERS. They see the idea of “balancing asymmetries”. And they see it pretty damn fast. Before I did.

FACE IT. Whoever came up with this Rommel-level attack is INVENTIVE AS HELL. I think we’ll be reading about him or her in MILITARY HISTORY BOOKS.

So now, let me explain – in much greater detail – exactly HOW this thing is modeled after a tsunami.


Let’s start off with something called THE TRUMP DOCTRINE.

Here is the SUNDANCE VERSION, which I think is a GREAT defintion:

Here is my version, which is pretty much the same thing, but coming at it from more of an enforcement standpoint.

And here, I’m being very specific to the case at hand.

The Chinese communists bitterly reject the Trump doctrine. It’s not hard to see why. Their FAKE, non-popular, elitist, broken version of feudalist socialism is built on dishonor, deception, and evasion of responsibility.

Generally speaking, the Chinese prefer to commit their crimes utterly unseen, but if not that, than at least unrecognized as a crime.

SO – how do you attack America with a biological weapon without being seen? Well, that’s actually pretty dangerous. In the end, an attack WILL be surmised, and it will be recognized as an act of war. So in this case, UNRECOGNIZED beats UNSEEN.

THIS is where the interesting symmetry of the tsunami comes in.

Tsunamis aren’t really tsunamis where they START – they’re EARTHQUAKES under the SEA.

Where the tsunami STARTS, it’s just a change in the level of the seawater, suddenly rising or falling a small height over a vast area.

From roughly the point of origin, a VERY interesting wave takes off in all directions. Now it may not look like what is shown above, but that’s the basic idea – a WAVE STARTS and TRAVELS OUTWARD at a very high rate of speed.

The thing is, that wave doesn’t cause a lot of damage. NOT AT FIRST.

In fact, until such a wave approaches land, it’s entirely survivable by boats. Here is the 2011 tsunami when it was actually very close to the Japanese shoreline.

These people unaffected by the tsunami are a lot like the asymptomatic carriers and “normal, young, healthy people” who experience ChiCom-19 either not at all, or like a mild case of the flu. For them, a tsunami simply “isn’t that bad”. Same with people farther inland. THEY THEMSELVES do not actually experience the devastating effects of the tsunami ON THEIR OWN BODIES.

In other words, they live. They may experience SOCIETAL EFFECTS, but they themselves survive.

Tsunamis only cause a lot of damage in specific places. To be honest, they don’t even LOOK as dangerous as a hurricane or a tornado. Not until the last minute. But the thing is, in the places where tsunamis DO cause a lot of damage – spread out widely from the point of origin – they cause a LOT of damage.

In the places where the tsunami hits, any people who can’t get away by SOME act of getting to higher ground, are basically screwed.

All of this – ALL of this – is perfectly analogous to what ChiCom-19 does.

https://twitter.com/BasedPoland/status/1240470914560675842

Tsunamis don’t strike with the same intensity everywhere, and they strike at very odd times. None of it is linear. Because the waves change speeds, heights, and directions – following streets, rivers, lowlands, breachable obstructions, and other features they encounter, they can CHANGE dramatically.

Tsunami waves, when they finally reach their target, can be dangerously deep and murderous in some places, and defensible in others very closeby.

What is basically DAMAGELESS in one community can DESTROY another next to it.

https://twitter.com/Alison4Trump/status/1240531228740055045

In many ways, NURSING HOMES are the “seashore communities” of ChiCom-19. And it only takes ONE OR TWO SPREADERS to DEVASTATE THEM – just like a too-low seawall, or a bay feature, or a RIVER, was all that was necessary for the Sendai tsunami to destroy a village.

10,000 people died in one village in Japan – over a third of the total victims. How do we know that we would not have a city like that – somehow utterly unprepared for ChiCom-19?

What a beautifully sinister way to wreak destruction upon a foe. A CRIME with no apparent PERPETRATOR – just the FIRST VICTIMS in the country with the CRIMINAL government.

In Germany, those first victims – good German citizens betrayed by their criminal Nazi government – were killed just as cruelly as the first victims of ChiCom-19.

Just as a tsunami eventually impacts many things besides seashore communities, including the national economy, so the ChiCom-19 tsunami battle plan was designed as a form of economic warfare.

Just as the Japan earthquake created a tsunami that caused a reactor meltdown, almost destroying the Japanese nuclear industry, so the Chinese “rebellion-stopping internal virus release” created a viral pandemic designed to strike hospital intensive care units around the world – but particularly in the United States, where it threatened to destroy our healthcare industry, just recovering from the Stalinist and Maoist inefficiencies of Obamacare, so it might be forced BACK into socialized medical FAILURE.

The whole point is that China KNEW what it was doing. It KNEW what the virus was. It LIED about the virus to give it TIME to get to its destinations BEFORE people could react properly.

I could go on, but there’s no need. I’m going to let you readers have some fun spotting more shocking analogies.

Just read some articles and watch some videos about tsunamis.

Maybe look at some OTHER tsunamis.

You will see – this virus was given the characteristics, the circumstances, AND the ASSISTANCE needed for it to STRIKE America just like a tsunami.

So what’s happening now?

As far as I’m concerned, whatever our Commander In Chief wants to tell us.

Dear KAG!: 20200319 Open Thread

 This Night before Daughn Thursday 20200319 Open Thread is 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! 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.

However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.

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!“



Tough week so far for all of us and a good time to reflect how good life is in the USA. Look at the challenges we’ve faced and overcame them. Now we have a new battle to be won and it’s easy to see this is going to be tough, so we must stick together and fight the good fight.

July 4th 2019 President Trump told our nation.

“What a great country!” declared the president. “For Americans nothing is impossible. Ours is the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.”

American exceptionalism? More like American Spirit!


Be Strong and stay Safe. Your family and friends need you❤
