This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both: Keep Making America Great).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.
Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.
For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Infraction:

In these distressing times, it’s good to give a buddy a hug.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Dapocaginous
‘Dapocaginous‘ is an adjective which means…mean spirited or heartless; dark and broken.
Used in a sentence:
The Democrats and their Orcs reveal their dapocaginous nature on a daily basis.

So who’s first?
It let me take over the Editing…but it’s not saving any changes.
I keep getting a red banner that says “Updating Failed”.
OK – we have managed to stop the emergency, but now we need to get you to where we can converse and pass data on Gab. The NEW and improved integrated chat is working. I want to try that with you. Abandon these changes for now – we have to save your authorship PER SE. Do you have some time now?
Yes.
But last time I tried to get into Gab Chat, it wouldn’t let me.
First things first – stop working on the draft. Kill the tab. Whatever you have to do.
Do you need other authors in there too?
Not yet. We will have an author powwow soon.
I want to get assured comms with Wheatie first.
Yes, I’ve got time.
Will get on Gab and see if we can do DMs
Go to the REGULAR version of Gab – not the chat.gab.com – the regular version now has embedded DMs.
Click on Chats in the left hand side. You will see my message request.
Reading through this, it looks like the same thing that was happening to me yesterday when I was trying to publish or later, make changes. I had to log out and back in every time I did anything, or I got “Updating Failed.”
Yes! I thought about you, Aubergine, when I was messing with that.
And Grandmaintx too.
Both of you have gone through that misery.
Thank you for persevering, Wheatie! You are a digital warrior for us. I gotta tell you, this place is keeping me sane right now.
Hugs. {{{{ 🍊 Aubergine}}}}
Hang in there, hon.
It’s not over yet!
!!!!
I’ve go myself logged in via both local site theqtree.com AND the WP.com profile. But I used the WP.com tools to make and edit the post.
That’s an interesting trick, though, that you COULD beat it by logging in and out!
Were you logging in through WP.com account, or with email and password?
Through a WP.com account.
Good. I’m going to experiment with logins and see what happens. I don’t get the same problems that you all do – but I do get a certain [undisclosed] problem, which may go away if I log in differently.
It’s not letting me make any changes.
If I click on “Switch to Draft”…it will unpublish this thread.
That’s if it works.
So far, nothing has been working as far as ‘saving’ draft.
OK – give up. Kill the tab – whatever. I’ll “undraft it” if need be. We need to set up comms. It’s war now.
Things have been a little wonky ever since the site did that ‘shudder’ a few days ago.
Yeah, we’ll talk. Can you exit the edit?
Sure, I’ll just click off the tab.
BTW, tried clicking on ‘Return to Draft’.
It failed.
Gotcha!
Go to your Gab home and click on Chats on the left hand menu.
Just saw you on Gab! GOOD!
Beats me…I’m still trying to figure out what’s on second…and I-don’t-know is on third. 😂
Yay!!!!!
Well here we go.
Hope Wheatie can edit this with no problems.
That’s what I’m hoping, too!
Great job to all!!!
Thanks to grandmaintx, SteveinCO, wheatietoo, and Wolf Moon.
Not too shabby for repairs at midnight.
I would lay 99.99% of the credit on Wolf. All I did was supply one suggestion too early for Wolf’s troublwshooting process, and it didn’t work out.
I do have to wonder WTF is going on. Though I had no real difficulty Friday evening, Carl had something odd happen, and now this…
I couldn’t even access the site for several minutes.
It froze up for me too, there for a while.
Yippie!!!
Worth the wait.
Feel better Miss Wheatie! 🤗🤗🥰😊💖
This is how things were like back when Silicon Valley was a great place to work (even if your particular company was failing). You’d meet someone in a supermarket checkout line and get the solution to a problem you were having….then find out he was Technical Director of your competition’s product development line. Total chaos, but everyone over the finish line before we tally the score.
Thanks, Butterfly!
😘 💖
Love the sledding corgis!

ARMED Protesters Begin To Arrive At State Capitols Around The Nation

not Trump supporters.
plus…
the amount of USAF cargo aircraft bringing NG troops to DC is almost a constant airbridge for the past several days…
visuals at the link
Those stupid boogs. They were the ones that helped get the trouble started for Kyle in Kenosha.
Ah, so now we see their plan clearly. FIB director Wray had been setting up the idea that white Americans are the domestic terrorists that we need to fear.
They ginned it up on January 6, but that failed to discredit MAGA.
Now they will have numerous FF events on inauguration day that will harm troops and citizens, and they will impose martial law.
This is how they will take our rights. One fell swoop.
Yep.
when they also have the media regurgitating the lies it’ll work like a charm and even if it doesn’t really happen they’ll keep saying the threat is valid..so it’ll still work.
Have you heard they are now asking for the troops to be without ammo at the inauguration? I saw that on Gab.
If so, then our military will be sitting ducks for a FF event.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
It’s so transparent.
It is transparent to US. It is not transparent to the morons who consume mainstream news. This is not going to go well for our side I fear, short of the miracle I am praying for.
stand resolute!
They already have all the rinos pushing anti maga, anti q big time. Those who are weak or MONETIZED are falling in line. Im seeing it every day. Any mention of que anywhere are you are a heretic, crazy, and immediately discredited. They are erasing Trump and MAGA bc they control everything.
They are just going to take everything as they smile. Harris is a huge evil pos. She actually may be more clever than Obama but just as evil.
There wont be much transition. To me, itll be direct in your face and done or at least started immediately.
so they think…but thinking isn’t their strong suit.
God, please save our Republic and our citizens and troops. 🙏
Amen and AMEN.
in the name of Jesus Christ.
and according to Thy Will, Almighty GOD.
It is how they govern. Fear and Intimidation from Russian Collusion to CV to Vaccine, to Storming the Capitol. FIB plays right along and now they have the NG and JC’s playing along too all to take your guns. We also know that besides the predominantly white BLM and Antifa stooges that the KKK and some manufactured white militia’s are their hench men. Notice how they still haven’t ID’d the perp that did the shooting at the Capitol? We will get zero transparency on any of this.
Yep. And they shove it in our faces.
Just as a by-the-way, the entire site’s been gone for about 10 minutes. It would infinite-loop refresh here, and get a

Same thing happened to me. I thought we were goners.
One of the side-effects from converting over to Linux is that you realize things can only get “so broken” and really cannot break further. As an example, if I lose login credentials on a system, I can pull the drive and run it attached to another system to restore them. Now that we are on standard versions of standard tools, almost anything can be repaired……maybe not at midnight, but within 24 hours.
I want Linux. Have pitched it to my husband. He is considering.
The price is right. And it will often rejuvenate things that were getting crufty — e.g. XP machines.
Few people realize exactly how dangerous it is to run Microsoft stuff when it falls off of support. There is a national database of security weaknesses at https://cve.mitre.org/index.html . It’s maintained by mitre.org and the Feds (NIST).
When a product falls off of support, CVE’s still get logged…..but they never get fixed. Anyone monitoring (and it’s a public record) this will be aware of potentially HUNDREDS of security problems. Many will have been rolled into a thing called “Metasploit” [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasploit_Project ]. With Metasploit, you essentially go, “system -> ThatOne, OS -> WinXP, go fetch”.
Linux has tools to maintain up-to-date defenses against these things without relying on Microsoft.
I’m gonna share that with my husband.
Hoping! 😄
Do you have some old PCs or laptops laying around? Stuff from the days of Windows Vista on are fabulous with Linux.
No. Just an old gaming laptop my son gave me awhile back. It’s a beast.
LOL! Well, a cheap new Windows laptop will run Linux great. I mean, stuff in the $200 range is just awesome. Basic as can be with a 1 TB hard drive will do you great.
If you want to get instant fun, https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400/ will blow the doors off of many old systems. The only giant caveat is that it won’t drive a VGA screen — it only outputs HDMI.
One of the things Linux practically encourages you to do is put the disks on the network. If you’re going to be running the laptop in your home, don’t go for a 1T — use whatever it has. (And, BTW, you can run Linux off of a 128M disk all day and all night if it’s on your home net — you only need more capacity if it will be traveling.)
Most people aren’t going to take it beyond the basics – standalone box – install from a disk or a USB drive – connect to their wireless. If they remember the wireless password, you’re ahead of the game. Besides – 1T *is* whatever it has. The basic dirt-cheap laptop is now a 1T hard drive, 8 GB memory, and decent Intel processor, bought on special.
Anything more than that, they call a younger relative! 😉
Yeah, it’s not like you can find a new 256G in a shop. I recently put a 1T in something for that reason.
But I’ve got about 25 spinning rust disks in baggies around the place because I yanked ’em after the keylogger.
True story — I had indications that my assailant (“Ira Weatheral”) was in my Quicken info, so I drove up to Intuit HQ (an advantage of living in Silicon Valley).
It was deserted — everyone was on an off-site (a disadvantage of Silicon Valley). I met one guy walking across their quad. I spilled my tale of woe to him and he told me two things: (1) it wasn’t a breach of Quicken security; and (2) it was something internal to bank access.
Then he gave me his business card. He was head of Intuit cybersecurity. Great guy. And he was totally right — my local computers had been keylogged. He even gave me a staffer to follow-up with.
How I miss the REAL Silicon Valley, ’cause it ain’t here now.
Using VMs (not for the faint of heart) then 16 or even 32 GB is nice.
Yay! That’s in my budget.
We bought used refurbished HP computers for about $200. Mine is fast and has no problem with running several open windows, tabs and playing videos.
There are refurbed 2-core Dells and HPs all over the place for $150 that run Linux fine.
TigerDirect.com or NewEgg.com.

I got 2 last year…. Love ’em
Great idea. Thank you.
The default Linux release for the Pi 400 is Raspbian (recently renamed to “Raspberry Pi OS”).
If you purchase one, your better bet is to install Ubuntu MATE arm64. I’ll sound like I’m raving if it’s hypothetical, but if someone has one in hand I’ll explain why.
In Linux, everything is a choice….which, y’know, can be a pain in the neck. Fortunately, there are “brands” (called “distros”). If you want a tomato soup, you can look at Campbell’s or Progresso. If you want a Linux, you can choose an Ubuntu or Arch (or many others).
If you’re coming from old-style Windows (pre 8), I would recommend looking at Linux Mint. It’s an Ubuntu-based distro that has friendly “new to Linux” and “came from Windows” hooks so you can rapidly achieve proficiency [it also has the slickest, easiest, and most straightforward kernel management of anything I know]. If you ever get tired of the interface (“Cinnamon”), you can easily change it to any other Ubuntu-supported interface.
If you grab a live disc of Mint, you can see how easy the transition will be — you boot off a DVD and run a real system (but can’t save anything). When it comes to installation, write me (it’ll only be about as long as this comment).
I’m saving all these comments for reference. Thank you.
For what it is worth, I am ‘Computer challenged’ and I LOVE Linux. Hubby installed Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is the best for somebody new to Linux, IMO. For years we Linux fans wanted a “Linux for grannies”, and Ubuntu is exactly that – yet it’s not so uncool that normal nerds don’t like it.
Thanks for the insult Wolfie 😀 😘
LOL!
Nice AK!!!
Gai, I have that portrait as a little poster, with text that reads “Social Security”.
super.
Ubuntu is best for someone new to Linux from “whatever” (including newer Windows > 7.999999). Mint is better for conversions from Windows < 8. I use Ubuntu for travelling computers because they’re not supposed to be “comfortable” and they’re always supposed to remember that the network is hostile.
OTOH, I go to great lengths to stay within apt.
I won’t go into great detail, but there are something like 60,000 “packages” that make all parts of a Linux system work. Nobody is going to keep track of this by hand, so you use a “package manager”. There are two big ones, one slightly lesser, and a bunch of small ones. The biggest are “apt” and “dnf”, and “pacman” is important.
They all work in a similar way, but apt (Debian – Ubuntu) is the most popular and works most consistently.
Wait, some of us are not grannies, but trying to switch to Linux after Windows and OS systems for decades is not going to be easy.
IMO it’s best to not SWITCH as much as ADD Linux as a second computer for politics, hobbies, etc. You can revitalize an old laptop or desktop by simply erasing it all and turning it into a war machine. Yes, Linux allows you to “dual boot”, where you add Linux to [whatever OS] as a second system, but if you’ve moved all your essential documents off the old computer (from which you likely moved stuff anyway already, when you got your new computer), then you can nuke the old one with new Linux and have tons of space for images, documents, etc. As I say, perfect as a war machine!
Linux is great on a retiree budget, too. I can no longer AFFORD Woke Tech to begin with. Why pay in blood for tech which disrespects even my free speech?
Me too. Thank you.
For $15 you can buy a somewhat solid version on a flash drive “PureOS Live” which can be then used to install on an old laptop or netbook to learn how to work with it. https://shop.puri.sm
I was about to post to the Gab group about the site being down before I noticed in another window that it had finally loaded.
Phew. I headed over there, too. 😁
It appears to have been from about 03:02 to 03:16.
Epik has a roughly 3AM downtime for our hosting that I’ve noticed. I suspect that was the reason.
I tried to get a good log of the time for you. I obviously can’t see as much as you do.
3AM Eastern, when they assume most people are asleep?
They don’t know us very well.
Actually, it has been observed that a lot of internet traffic dies off at about 2300 eastern no matter which time system. I don’t remember what site I was on that we found that to be a thing.
took me 3x to make a post…not loading.
finally came thru a few seconds ago.
(that’s not a complaint…just an observation.)
Getting severe lag. This is the first time I was able to access the site after several tries.
The same thing has been habbening with the anons – very laggy, periods of no access – and then last night the server didn’t even try to load (“cannot find server”) for a spell.
We ain’t alone!
You mean 8kun?
8kun has been under attack?
Doesn’t surprise me…[They] are desperate to keep people from talking and sharing the truth.
Yes.
For the past week or so, there were “glitches” of a type I hadn’t seen before.
Somehow, the breads got locked – way before 751 – and updates couldn’t go through, nor could the page be refreshed.
It seemed to me that whatever the most recent post was, at the time I reached the actual posting page, that’s as far as I could get.
I had to re-boot EVERY time to see updated posts.
It seems to be fixed now, though.
Everyone’s got their ticket, right?
Whether or not you have that exact paper ticket in your hand, it’ll get punched in just a few hours.
I mean, your paper ticket could read, “Biden Inauguration” and and be printed on toilet paper…..still gonna get punched.
>> “Biden Inauguration” […] “on toilet paper” <<
That’s for the commies!
My (our) ticket(s) are for the Greatest Show on Earth, and for us it’s a comedy.
And for them, it’ll be a tragedy …
It’s Action/Adventure, with occasional comedic elements. But Good triumphs.
Oh, for the days of the old movie palaces.
The greatest show!

but thanks.
(I see this is a repeat post from earlier when we were having issues with loading…at first it didn’t post then later it did…so wheatie you can cancel one of them..
and while yr at it, you can also cancel that repulsive antifa poster I re-posted in the re-post post since it is redundant as re-posted.)
thnx
making a Request..or…a Suggestion..
👉 might be helpful & informative to have ground reports posted here from around the various locales…
👉 any unusual activity, closures, build-ups, agitation etc.
based on what we’ve all been hearing from various sources, things will be heating up, and some of us might start to actually see certain dynamics, locally, unfolding.
Yes. Good idea. Let me finish working with Wheatie on updating this post. We have more “Disconnected Author” problems.
In NC Fraudulent gov Cooper (D) called out the National Guard.
It’s gonna be nasty. These people are NOT US.
Haven’t most State guv’s called out the NG for their capitols?
A lot have. Esp DemonRat. Funny how we have six months of un-ending Riots and nothing is done but NOW they call out the heavy hitters.
Demon rats working with armed Antifa types like SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) and John Brown Gun Club, IMO. I have suspected those lefties of shadowing our prayer meetings.
pro-Trump, 🇺🇸 Governor DeSantis 🇺🇸 (Florida) has…a few days ago…Tallahassee.
of course…good luck, Wolf & Wheatie.👍 🇺🇸
And all authors!
We’re all done, and the NEW MUSIC and NEW WORD are up!!!
Texas has closed the Capitol through next Wednesday.
Armed protestors have already been protesting, though. They are being described as “gun-rights” activists.
They have faces covered but are dressed in camo, etc.
This is a total setup. You know how the Dems were screaming that Trump was gonna call martial law? Well, that was projection. That’s their plan.
>> “Trump was gonna call martial law?” <<
Did I read it from here, or from the anons, that PDJT’s re-shuffling EO put Miller SOLELY in charge of the DC NG, so that no one else could interfere?
This side-stepped any need for martial law to be declared (and all that entails).
If Biden gets inaugurated, it will be the Dems who call martial law…
and…enter China.
ain’t gonna happen.
It simply can’t. Our President would not allow it.
It looks like Jefferson City has beefed up security, but you have to look for the information.
The closest “city” if you can call it that is Columbia where Mizzou is, and that’s 45 minutes away.
Having it in the middle of the state might be a saving grace. I mean to get there, you take I-70 west to the Fulton exit and turn left. Literally. But, it’s not exactly a quick in and out.
I’m nowhere close to Tallahassee down here but was reading that, so far, the 3-4 “gun rights protesters” (cough cough) were miffed b/c nothin’s happening.
The ARMED ‘Marches” in our state Capitals SURE SOUNDS LIKE Maidan square shootings Version 2.0 used to start the Ukrainian ‘Color Revolution’
YUP. Exactly.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PHOTO!!!!!
It’s one of my favorites – the expressions of laughter are so genuine!
There’s one other photo, though, very much like this, which demonstrates the same connection …
IIRC, it’s on a stage, and again Melania is laughing from the heart – while PDJT has an expression of gleeful satisfaction, with a beaming closed-mouth grin (perhaps with his eyes closed as well). Cheshire-cat like, but without any hint of negativity.
Know the one I’m talkin’ about?
There are a bunch of other, timeless photos as well.
“Feelz gud, man!”
can’t find it…scrolling thru many photos of the pair…I’ll keep looking!
Thanks so much Pat!
I was kinda bummed that I didn’t save it – but it’s a keeper!
Anyone else remember the photo?
She was on the left, and he was on the right – it’s a somewhat close photo of just the two of them, both on a stage, can’t recall the background (gee, I wonder why …).
I miss seeing them sooo much. 💔

And apologies if this has been posted.
Yes, Tona…the Anon who created that video was banned from Twitter after he posted it.
And other people who posted it, including POTUS, have been banned after they posted it.
Twitter and their Cabalist cohorts do not want people seeing that video!
I did not know it was that old!
LOL … oh well, the older I get the more used I get to the idea that whatever seems new to me is old news to many others!
It is still VERY VERY GOOD! And we need to see it!
Here is another missive of one, who sees himself as having one of the most brilliant analytic minds.
HE, UNTHINKNGLY, IS REPEATING THE FED / Rockefeller / Rothschild PROPAGANDA of the last century, justifying the FED’s unhinged money supply manipulation (called monetary policy) of the US$, which resulted in the devaluation of the US$ to less then 0.02 of what the value of the US$ was before the FED was created in 1913.
This means what has cost you One US$ in 1913, will now have a cost of more then 50 US$ in 2021, for the same item. This is the real meaning and reason of inflation. Product price increases are just a symptom and not the cause of it. This distinction is conveniently not made by our modern day economists.
In a real free market, money supply should never be manipulated, because money is the YARD stick, by which the value of wealth is expressed and not wealth itself.
Changing the money supply is like changing the YARD stick from say 1 Yard to say 0.02 Yards and claiming this amount represents the same as the original one. However for this to go unnoticed, you would do the changes in increments of small percentages per year over a 100 year interval.
If you want to know more about the origins of the FED, see this E-Book:

he warned me about China back in the 80s.
It’s funny, before my mother went back to my brother’s house in another state, we got into a talk about China. When I was working my way through college, I used to read the WSJ daily, as well as the local rags (there was a reason for this). Some things about China started to stick out, like the male-female imbalance brought on by the one child policy. This was in the early 90s, and it seemed to me THEN, that they were creating cannon fodder. There were other things that were alarming, and when I talked to my ultra liberal feminist voice teacher at the time about some of it, she scoffed at the idea that China would be anything to worry about.
Wonder what she’s thinking now.
and how much US real estate they were buying up…and in odd places…like Kentucky…and Tennessee.
while no one was really looking.
Wilson, by the end of his life, knew what he had done and regretted it.
It was a little late, though.
The most fundamental fact behind the worst abuses and the worst enabling of corruption in the early part of the last century, is that they were enabled or caused or facilitated by Prohibition, which was the Granddaddy of malignant unintended consequences coming from self-righteous good intentions.
Umm, there weren’t any good intentions there. That’s more propaganda. Women were enlisted into a crusade that was short sided at best.
The threat of alcohol at that time was to Standard Oil (Rockefeller) as the American people were using alcohol to power their machinery at that point. (A similar ban of sorts in the US was Marijuana. That was the petroleum industry eliminating hemp as a competitor to nylon rope).
With the institution of the income tax – an amendment that historical records prove was not actually ratified – the federal government didn’t need the taxes on alcohol of any sort, wine, spirits, liquor or beer (yes, there are differences) in order to finance itself.
Scratch the surface and a Rockefeller/ globalist Elite pops up.
ALL moves were FOR the advantage of the Globalist Elite and not for the US serf class.
Never let a “crisis” go to waste, even if it is the “crisis” of hubby stumbling home drunk.
It is my understanding that the goal of implementing Prohibition started before the mid-1800’s. The temperance movement was mostly Christian and largely female for decades, and Prohibition was implemented below the Federal level many places.
The essential image of Temperance for many decades was the innocent woman oppressed and downtrodden by the drunken man. “Moderate” male proponents of temperance, like Abraham Lincoln, objected to government prohibition in favor of abstinence, but large segments of women favored severe government restriction, and based their perspective on their (mostly “Protestant”) Christian faith.
Prohibition was viewed as a triumph of Christianity, though decidedly not by Catholics.
The consumption of alcohol was seen as a moral issue equivalent with slavery, even before the Civil War, and the motive force behind Prohibition was always primarily a moral one, though abjectly simple-minded.
And the consumption of alcohol was and IS a moral issue even today, and always will be. The moral issue is left mostly to each person and his conscience, and to many (maybe most), like all moral issues, it is irrelevant because of circumstances in their personal lives.
The political problem with Prohibition was always taxes, because the federal government depended on alcohol taxes to exist. The avalanche of mutually bad “laws,” and alteration of American government, IMO, can be laid at the feet of the monster political power of women who wanted to change their husbands.
Eve is just gonna Eve.
The issue there was a marketing scheme by the breweries. Saloons were bankrolled by them to sell their products (vertical integration). At least that’s the story.
What the real truth is…who knows.
Part of the reason we got Prohibition was that Beer and Whiskey became enemies in the decades before Prohibition as each side had a separate strategy for opposing regulation and threatened Prohibition. Basically, each side joined in demonizing the other, to the mutual unintended detriment of both.
Saloons were huge money-makers, and ways for hard-working entrepreneurs to acquire wealth. A saloon on one corner would sell one brand of beer only and a saloon on the other corner would sell another brand of beer only, and the saloons often promoted depravity to keep their customers drinking their brand.
The beer companies heavily promoted these saloons, and made it easy to start one.
But from these saloons came all sorts of ungodly/reckless behavior which wound up at home.
The Anti-saloon League IIRC was the most powerful political entity for a long time preceding Prohibition, and Christian women were the main constituents.
Excuse me but BULL SCHIFF! Most Financial crises were CAUSED by the Banksters suddenly tightening the money supply.
Want to crash the economy? Lend easy money and then quit lending. Volia 1933 crash.
….
As far as gold goes, it is ‘self adjusting’ When gold becomes worth more, then it is worth mining more of it. And yes, I realize there is a finite supply but the main use of a gold standard is to keep the crooks from printing massive amounts of counterfeit money. All the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did was make it ‘legal’ for certain people to counterfeit money while the general public could not.
Yep.
I’m pretty convinced that the year of COVID was an attempt to re-create the Influenza epidemic of 1918, the Irish Potato Famine (pushing plant proteins which will result in malnutrition and open up humans for further disease) and the Great Depression all at the same time. Depressions don’t happen like that when the money is actually stable, and fiat money, by definition, is not stable.
Rothbard convincingly describes money as a commodity itself.
He also refutes the hysterical objections to gold.

I believe the second book is available for free if you search the net, otherwise it is well worth the online purchase.
And just as important as the concept of gold per se, is the concept of money as a commodity itself, which can be extended beyond gold.

Another Antifa guy pretending to be a Trump supporter in the Capitol Building. The only “planned insurrection” seems to be from some BLM and Antifa guys planning to pretend to be Trump supporters. The impeachment narrative was completely false from the beginning and continues to fall apart by the day.

If you look at the comments you will find the guy was misidentified.
Thanks! I’ll take a closer look.
Yeah, it’s weird. Here’s another photo of the Antifa/BLM guy.
Dressed to smear Qanon – and provide an excuse for a persecution/purge.
Should Wolfie change the name of his blog or is it too late?
Never retreat! Never show weakness to these scum. Be Breitbart. Better to be KILLED by these bastards and bitches than to BE THEM.
>> “Never retreat!” <<
Yessir!
Donna change-a nuthin!
HOLD THE LINE!!!
And be a Happy Warrior!
😁
Our enemies hate it when we’re happy.
Yes, the narrative is falling apart for those not in the MSM echo chamber, but for those still in it – about half the country – they’re still convinced it was actual Trump supporters doing this.

“Although I can’t believe that Biden will be allowed to be sworn-in, Q did say that if Clinton had won, Patriots were prepared to do the unthinkable. Plan Z. I can only assume that is still on the table in regards to Biden.”

“Have no doubt of that.
This is war and the world is on the line.
We are well prepared for exactly this moment.
You don’t think we’ve come this far for nothing, do you?
What has been said about the military from the very very beginning.
Pay attention and stay with us, Patriots.

The Potomac to provide water to seal the tunnels?
I LIKE IT!!!
“Watch the Water
There’s an extensive tunnel system under D.C. The tunnels are for utilities, sewage, the aqueduct and the pedestrian tunnels beneath Capitol Hill. These intersect in several places. The tunnels were cut by large boring machines and can fit several men across.
The aqueduct tunnel is the longest and opens up at the Potomac several miles northwest of the city.
Interestingly, Trump National Golf Course sits on the Potomac in Virginia, just northeast of D.C., and there’s a controversial war memorial overlooking the Potomac that reads:
River of Blood. Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot. The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’ It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River!
But historians say nothing like that happened at that spot during the Civil War. When asked about it in 2015 by the New York Times, Trump said numerous historians told his people the site was known as the “River of Blood” but he did not disclose who the historians were or identify who spoke with them.
Trump essentially told the report to write the story however they wanted, but many people were shot there.
Take a look at the map where the course and memorial are located on the Potomac and where the aqueduct opens at the Potomoc.
Who or what is in the tunnels?
A flood of biblical proportions. It’s going to be Biblical.”
Sure looks like “Wolf Trap” at the very bottom of your map…tee hee 😉
Found on Gab…another suspicious ‘suicide’:
Wow. God rest his soul and may his murderer see justice.
This is chilling – now we know part of why/who wanted to get rid of PDJT.
The election fraud was a dastardly coup.
The pharmas are tied up with all the rest.
Who bankrolled them in the beginning?
How many are in hedge fund managers’ sights.
If cures DO exist, the pharmas WILL lose A LOT of money. So will they if the prices for even generics come down.

Back in the 70’s it was popular to claim that Rockefellers benefited from heroin addiction because of their profit from methadone. My immediate reaction was to think it was nonsense.
I do not think that way now, and for a long time. These people are so evil, heroin addiction is just a profit opportunity, not to mention a means of disruption and control.
“Found by his garage door”. Pretty sure that’s one of the top ten locations people prefer when they suicide themselves. 🙄

The FIB has finished vetting the troops in DC. Here are those who support Biden. 😂

Heheh.
………..From the link:
FIB has just finished vetting all 25,000 National Guard in Washington DC. It took them three and a half hours. Hey, they read 35,000 Hillary Clinton emails in 10 minutes. Anyway, after thorough investigation and interrogation, pictured are those who are qualified to salute Creepy Joe Biden.
Why can’t I do that? I cannot get images to post in the comments.
When you want to paste the image link…make sure you click on “Paste as plain text”.
That’s what works for me.
Ok. Dumb question. Where do you find the words “paste as plain text?”
For me, there is a line beneath where it says ‘Paste’…
It says ‘Paste as’ and there is an arrow pointing to the right.
Click on that arrow and it gives the option, ‘Plain text’.
Thank you. Will endeavor to be successful. It’s been bugging me.
I always insert a space after the url address, then I press “enter” to put a blank line afterward (below). I also put a blank line beforehand (above).
Hope it works for you!
That usually works for me with tweets and youtubes. But not Gab or Mastodon.
Gab URLs for *posts* won’t embed, but their pictures do show up, if you right-click on them and copy the image ADDRESS, then paste that here as plain text.
Thank you.
Here is the image link from that photo, which I got by right-clicking on the photo to get the menu, and then choosing “Copy Image Address”.

That is a good image link. Put it on a line by itself, and it will display as the image.
Ok. Good. I will try it.
Haha! Love the meme.
And numbers out of whack again: 25000 troops inspected in 3.5 hours. Or about two per second. For three and a half hour… good job keeping up that pace! :p /s
It’s like the download from Parler 70 TB in three hours or whatever it was. Been awfully quiet about that lately? Not that I mind, there’s enough other noise on already.
It’s like the 20000-page impeachment bill having been assembled from January 6 through January 11 or so. Yep, someone are being the exceedingly busy beavers there too.
And it’s like that 5600-page bill, or was it 6500 pages? doesn’t really matter, since the Congress only had about half a day to read the thing.
Yeah «The impossible we do at once, miracles take a little longer» here’s the other one please pull…
Signal has been out of bound by somewhere around 20 dB for a while now.
And the noise level is rising. I don’t expect to be able to take anything being reported the next few days at face value. Even if I like the news, I’ll have to check how much sense it makes. Borrowing concepts such as cross-correlation from the signal-processing realm only gets me so far.

You have to realize that this is from crime central — Bell, CA — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%2C_California#Cityhood . First election after first general election, everyone gets recalled. Soon afterward, 4,000 Oscar ballots and 55 Oscar statues get hijacked and the city is mocked for being “Bermuda Triangle”. Shortly after that, city salaries are more than state salaries…..
Any thing not solidly affixed to the ground in Bell is fair game.
OK, just to get it done —
No progress whatsoever on the sink.
Someone was up on the wrong side of the bed Sunday morning and wanted to stomp around without giving me uninterrupted time to accomplish anything.

In the video the woman read from an article that is supposedly to be found here
“what is to come” January 13, 2021 info.bizlaunch.me “retired generals, colonels, and also Lin Wood”
but I couldn’t find it at that source or anything resembling it until adding the last quoted phrase to the search.
I believe this is close to the material being read out in that video, fyi

On a personal note, we had dinner w/ friends on Saturday night & the wife pulled up a 10 page screen shot document that I believe she’d found on facebook & she read some from it at the table. I think that is close to this item if not the same thing…
