Dear KAG: 20210120 Open Thread

Linda shared this yesterday from Lin Wood’s GAB feed. It’s too good not to share even if I really don’t get poetry, much to a number of nuns’ dismay. This one, though, is in cuplets that even I get. (Edited for stanza clarity.)

Twas the weekend before covfefe, and all thru the land,
The lefties were trembling at the cards in Trump’s hand.
The patriots were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of perp walks danced in their heads.
The laptops recovered in a raid days ago,
Shed new light on the crimes of our treasonous foe.
When up on the web there arose such a clatter,
Big tech blocking accounts like free speech didn’t matter.
Impeachment was threatened, amendment 25,
“The Trump administration must not survive!”
They screamed from the rooftops, on every news show.
“This bad bad bad orange man has just got to go!”
But Donald J Trump had a card up his sleeve,
a card so glorious no one could believe.
You see, he had caught them. He set a big trap.
He knew they would try this election fraud crap.
He watched them all do it, all in real time.
He was sure that Mike Pence would certify their crime.
His intel had told him they’d planned a false flag,
To make sure Trump’s destruction was all in the bag.
The Dems told Antifa “Show up in disguise.”
“Wear your MAGA hats backwards so no one will get wise.”
“When we start the debate, you all storm inside.
Don’t worry, the police will open doors wide.”
“We will blame all your damage on Trump and his fans,
So never again will Trump thwart all our plans.”
Trump knew Dems would do this, he sent special ops,
They dressed like Antifa and grabbed the laptops.
Upon them was evidence of aggregious crimes.
The Deep State had done this crap so many times.
Straight to the military the evidence went.
Charges of treason were now imminent.
No screaming or crying would stop what was to come.
Resignation and prison, and Gitmo for some.
Military tribunals will convict all these traitors.
Who stole an election because they were haters.
When the trials are done and the votes are done right.
Crimes done in the darkness have come to the light…
Trump will be sworn in to finish his eight.
And we will continue to make America great.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but there is hope in all of this. Just hang on. President Trump and his people would not have come this far to just let it all go in a stolen election.

Are we there yet?

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there.

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, not uncivilized pygmies:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

__________________________________________________

Normally, in this space, a reading from the day’s Mass is featured. Today, the readings simply do not fit our situation. However, a passage from Ecclesiasticus, a book commonly called Sirach for it’s author, does somewhat fit. This book is part of the Greek or Helenistic Canon of the Old Testament that was removed from the Septuagint in the 300 years or so following Christ’s time on Earth, and is one of the seven books not in protestant bibles.

Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 10

A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. [2] As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. [3] An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers. [4] The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. [5] The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour.

[6] Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury. [7] Pride is hateful before God and men: and all iniquity of nations is execrable. [8] A kingdom is translated from one people to another, because of injustices, and wrongs, and injuries, and divers deceits. [9] But nothing is more wicked than the covetous man. Why is earth and ashes proud? [10] There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.

[11] All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician. [12] The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is today, and tomorrow he shall die. [13] For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. [14] The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God: [15] Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.

[16] Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them. [17] God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. [18] God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations. [19] The Lord hath overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and hath destroyed them even to the foundation. [20] He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth.

[21] God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. [22] Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. [23] That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. [24] In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. [25] The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:

[26] Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. [27] The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. [28] They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. [29] Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress: [30] Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.

[31] My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. [32] Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? [33] The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear: and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. [34] But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, members of the Cabinet, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

Forum Annex Domain Choices

I am planning to create a “forum extension” to this site, which will allow for growth and “full free speech zones”, without significantly changing the nature of THIS site.

I decided AGAINST simply bringing The U Tree over to Epik. I don’t really feel like that site has much of a future. I don’t feel that it is as conducive as a full-fledged forum to either growth per se, or growth of free speech in particular.

But before I even think about building that forum annex, I would like to ask – WHICH of our 8 domains would you like to see used for that forum? I am playing with that stuff right now.

We have the following:

theqtree.com
theqtree.org
theqtree.net
theqtree.us
theqtree.info
theqtree.life
theqtree.site
theqtree.xyz

I plan to keep theqtree.com for THIS site. But what about the others?

Which ONE of the other 7 names would be good for the forum?

Please let me know your opinions and your reasoning.

Thanks!

W

The topic of a forum has been discussed previously.

Military Intelligence.
No media.
No leaks.
How many MI generals have been in/out of WH in the past 30 days?
Focus on Flynn.
Background and potential role.
What is the common denominator in terms of military backgrounds close to POTUS?
Why did Soros transfer the bulk of his ‘public’ funds to a NPO?
Why is this relevant?
Who owes a lot to very bad actors?
How can she repay as payment was made under promise of victory.
What cash payments occurred by BO during the last 90 of his Presidency to foreign states and/ or organizations?
What slush fund did AG Sessions (through DOJ) put an end to?
How does Soros, Obama, Clinton, Holder, Lynch, etc all net many millions of dollars (normally within a single tax year).
What was negotiated on the tarmac between BC and Lynch?
Remember it was expected HRC was going to win during this time period.
What if the wizards and warlocks tipped off a local reporter as to the supposed unscheduled stop?
What if the NSA under the personal direction from Adm R had this meeting miscat and logged under a false identity to prevent bad actors from locating while also verifying to said players all was clear _ no logs.
What really happened when the wizards and warlocks revealed what they had?
Was Comey forced into the spotlight shortly thereafter not by choice? Right before the election no doubt which would cast suspicion?
These are crumbs and you cannot imagine the full and complete picture.
If Trump failed, if we failed, and HRC assumed control, we as Patriots were prepared to do the unthinkable (this was leaked internally and kept the delegate recount scam and BO from declaring fraud).
Dig deeper – missing critical points to paint the full picture.
There is simply no other way than to use the military. It’s that corrupt and dirty.
Please be safe and pray for those in harms way as they continually protect and serve our great country.

They are the true Patriots. We will never forget. Let these coming days be remembered in our history as the time we fought to recapture the republic from those evil bad actors who for so long have sacrificed the good people of this land for their own personal gain.
Fight the good fight.
LET JUSTICE BE SERVED.

On Sunday, our very own P-Rex laid out the scenario in which we find ourselves, and the confusion surrounding it as well as the hopeful signs.

prognosticatasaurusrex January 17, 2021 18:41

Telling things…NO Biden transition appointee hearings on schedule or conducted
Kamalla STILL has not resigned from the Senate
50 THOUSAND troops in DC.
Roadblocks in and out of DC
Communications blackout jammers reported
steel fence around the Capitol, SCOTUS, and other govt buildings, with the bolts on the WRONG side.
No hype of the inauguration by the MSM
DESPERATELY trying to remove a guy with THREE days left
LIVE ammo and deadly force authorized
POTUS going to joint base Andrews
First family “evacuated BEFORE the 20th
Pence going to the 10th mountain division base
NO farewell address from Trump
EVERYTHING Pompeo says
EVERYTHING Miller, Durham, the acting AG, and Watnick do NOT say
enough supplies, firepower, and materials and manpower in DC for a SIEGE or a WAR.
The palpable fear IN THE AIR..AND not ON our SIDE.
ALL for a VIRTUAL inauguration. One in which NO Biden crowds will appear, and one in which NO MAGA protests will happen , at Trump’s request.
NONE of this NORMAL in the LEAST
You tell ME, WHY?
Logic.
IMHO it can ONLY be ONE of three things
1.FEAR from the Cabal that the masses will rise up (not gonna happen when they EXPECT it…DUH)
2.WAR is about to break out between the Cabal and someone or US and China?
3.Shit is ABOUT to hit the proverbial FAN for Biden and his usurpers.

And a reminder:

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end.

And now for something completely different. (Yes, President Garfield opposed central banks…and he got shot for it.)

Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.

Ahem.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out with anyone who happens to still be hanging out there.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

And Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults…supposedly:

HEBREWS 6:10-20

10For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. 11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end, 12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. 16Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 17So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath, 18so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain, 20where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz’edek.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.

Let The Storm Pass Over – and Prepare for Amazing Days

I had just been thinking about matters of DC and the likelihood that President Trump already invoked the Insurrection Act some time after the Stolen Election – and probably much sooner than we realized – when THIS NEW INFORMATION came to my attention.

Hold off on viewing it, until I explain this a bit more.

This is an hour-long podcast by Mike Adams of Natural News.

Mike was personally kicked off Twitter and Facebook by the gelatinous monster Adam Schiff.

InfoWars (Alex Jones) and Natural News (Mike Adams) were both the FIRST and PRIMARY targets of the BEGINNING of the social media censorship which we are ALL experiencing now.

“Vaccine misinformation” was a pretext for Schiff to force / enable the social media TYRANTS to remove Mike Adams, in my opinion. But it was MUCH BIGGER than coronavirus vaccines. Much bigger than vaccines in general. Much bigger than any of that.

It was about NOW.

Mike Adams is, in my opinion, one of the best scientists out there – willing to stand up to the politically forced scientific opinions which theoretically don’t exist, but which in fact DOMINATE the most contentious parts of science – particularly where MONEY and POWER intersect.

My first indication that this guy had real chops was his acoustic analysis of the bullet audio from crowd videos of the Las Vegas shootings. When even the Las Vegas Sheriff and Chief of Police could not speak freely, under the hawk-like watch of the FBI, sticking to a single-shooter theory MASSIVELY contradicted and discredited by witnesses, and while even FBI scientists failed to provide even the slightest refutation other than “health nut smears”, Mike Adams VALIDATED the first shooter and PROVED A SECOND by an impressively SIMPLE and easily explained audio analysis.

LINK: https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-10-11-health-ranger-acoustic-forensic-evidence-proves-more-than-one-shooter-at-vegas-massacre.html

Sadly, the video has been utterly scrubbed from the internet, but – well – copies do exist, let’s just say! Maybe they will find their way back to us when Silicon Valley is dealt with vis-a-vis the FIRST AMENDMENT.

ANYWAY, now we come to the issue at hand. “Somebody” just came to Mike Adams and told him things which blew him away. Mike is only able to HINT at these things for now, but they apparently are HUGE.

It is more by reading between the LINES of what Mike says that you will get a clearer picture of WHO came to him, WHY they came to him, WHAT they told him, and more.

WHEN and WHERE are more certain.

Mike says that we need to STAY HOME on January 19 and 20.

DO NOT go to Washington, DC.

DO NOT go to your state capitols.

Now – I don’t want to influence your perceptions of the video. I want you to watch it NOW.

You don’t have to watch much – Mike puts the IMPORTANT STUFF right up front, to make sure you get the information. You don’t have to watch more than 15 minutes to get what I want to discuss.

Here it is again:

Here is the page URL, if the embedded video gives you any trouble:

LINK: https://www.brighteon.com/d3a3792e-8d5d-4990-868a-87566077c09c

To me it is completely clear WHO came to Mike Adams – somebody who represents authorities that will be providing him with AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION and thus bypassing the TREASON MEDIA. Mike is careful not to say who came to him, but whoever they are, they have some kind of significant authority, IMO.

It is also clear to me that WHY these authorities came to Mike – because his podcast audience now exceeds some limit which makes it a useful channel to reach people – AND Mike is a known patriot, whether people agree with his views on health matters and medicine or not.

WHAT exactly they told him, is almost certainly interesting to the point of being AMAZING. Mike summed it up by saying “Lin Wood is right” – and that he (Mike) has been converted from a “Lin Wood skeptic” to a “Lin Wood believer”.

You think the President’s LAWYER on the ELECTION might have to be READ IN on the most sensitive information about the ELECTION? Make sense NOW?

NOW – if you keep listening to the podcast, you will hear “echoes of Q”, and Mike will admit that he was not a “Q follower”, but that much of what Q told us is, surprisingly to him, TRUE.

Yeah.

If it’s not all becoming clear now, let the comments below help you!

The Storm is upon us.
Please remember to Pray for our President.

And,

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us 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.”

God IS in Control

I believe, as God’s Word tells us, that God is in control of the events that happen in this world.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
The Lord Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
. . . for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.

The Bible specifically tells us that God establishes the authorities of this world.

For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings. . .
. . . the Most High has power over human kingdoms. He gives them to whomever he wishes,

Now, we’d like to think that our just and merciful God would put only just and merciful rulers in place, but we know from history that’s not so. Corrupt, wicked, brutal rulers come and go as do just and merciful rulers.

In particular, right now, many of us are wondering what God has in store for us with respect to President Trump’s second term . . . and we start with the options that we can think of . . . but we don’t know, although we may stumble upon an answer that’s close. We just don’t know what God plans for us, as stated in God’s Word:

How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

But, we do have assurances that:

. . . all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

But “work together for good” doesn’t mean that God-loving Christians, by the world’s standards, come out on the top of every situation. If you look at the Tanakh, you’ll see that the Children of Israel didn’t come out on top many times, maybe even most of the time. The most serious of these situations were because they left the only God and they took up with false pagan gods. And masses of Christians and Jews have been slaughtered for 2,000 years.

I think the world looks at survival as saving your life, whereas God looks at survival as saving your soul. And therein lies all the difference.

We may suffer less or more throughout our short life on earth, but if we come through that experience with our souls safely in God’s hands, we have an eternity of Peace, Joy and Wonders to look forward to.

Eternity with God will certainly put the events of this next week into a proper perspective.

But until that time . . .

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid;
For the Lord God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.

. . . those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

and attain a mindset . . .

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you . . .

. . . in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ . . . For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Behold, I am coming soon.

To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

And God Bless President Trump and his family.

2021·01·16 KMAG Daily Thread

Ever since it became apparent that the election had been hit by massive fraud, I’ve been saying this, but I’m going to say it again: This is for ALL of the Chips.

If Trump were to not continue to be President, then history, looking back, would see his term as a mere speed bump in the course of the collapse of the United States of America. The deep state would come back out of hiding, his gains would be wiped out almost instantly, we’d end up with Obolacare Plus, NAFTA Plus, You-name-it Plus. We’d be facing a Leftist backlash, because they’ve been boiling mad for four years, and now they’d have an unimpeded outlet for that rage.

That’s why President Donald John Trump must prevail. Because without Justice for the Deep State, for the Ruling Class, everything we gained these last four years is transitory.

I’m not just saying this, I put my money where my mouth is last week and went to Washington, thinking (as many others did) that he wasn’t calling us to watch a defeat. Though it certainly did look like a defeat on many levels, we’ll see what happens between now and Wednesday!

Only time and a tell-all memoir will tell how useful our individual actions on that day actually were. But no matter what, those of us lucky enough to be able to go did see history unfold. And those unable to go, well, be assured that we represented you in spirit.

I’ve seen some positive signs. For instance, it seems significant that the overwhelming majority of arrests stemming from the “festivities” of January 6 are Leftist or Democrat agent provocateurs, not MAGA people. Is something actually changing at the FBI?

In general, there’s a lot of odd stuff going on. Something’s brewing!

This will not have been in vain!

A couple of cautions: Let’s be careful, please, to do some checking on the rumors we post.

And let’s remember that we do not know Trump’s battle plan. We’re speculating here.

A Reminder Of The Need for Justice.

Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People...Our campaign represents a true existential threat, like they’ve never seen before.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Political correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. The first rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government take your guns.
5. The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
9. Social Justice Warriors, ANTIFA pukes, BLM hypocrites, and other assorted varieties of Marxists can go copulate with themselves, or if insufficiently limber, may substitute a rusty wire brush suitable for cleaning the bore of a twelve or ten gauge.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Coin of The Day

The Gobrecht Dollar, Redux

I talked about this back, what, six weeks ago? My first post on the new Q Tree.

Here’s a reminder picture of the Gobrecht dollar, in 1836 our first tentative step towards resuming silver dollar coinage which had ended in 1804.

That awesome flying eagle reverse motif had problems, namely that it was hard to get the sucker to strike up properly. In the picture, for instance, you can see high points on the design (like the eagle’s “armpit” area, and the tip of the nearer wing) that just weren’t fully detailed, because the metal didn’t flow completely into the deepest parts of the die. To be sure it took a lot of force (100 tons or so) to strike up a coin the size of a silver dollar in the first place and that no doubt had something to do with it, but ultimately, the design got rejected in favor of a reuse of the “sandwich board” eagle that had been used on our silver coinage since 1807/8.

But that eagle wasn’t completely dead.

Twenty years later, in 1856, the mint was about to embark on an experiment. We had, up until that time, used a coin 29 millimeters (or so) in diameter, and quite thick (compare to a quarter which is 24.3 mm in diameter), made out of fairly pure copper, as our cent. It weighed 168 grains (exactly 0.35 troy ounces, not that you’d measure copper in troy ounces). Collectors now call these cents “large cents” to distinguish them from the considerably smaller pieces we use today.

The government wanted something a bit lighter. These coins were noticeably heavy and really didn’t have a whole lot of purchasing power, even back then.

The Flying Eagle Cent

So it was decided to create what we now call the “small cent.” But what came out of this design process was still a bit odd to today’s eyes. The new coin weighed 72 grains (exactly 0.15 troy ounces, but again no one would weigh this metal in troy ounces). And it was 12 percent nickel (almost exactly 1/8th), 88 percent copper. This was done to bring the intrinsic value up, nickel being more expensive than copper.

It had the same diameter as our current “penny” (a misnomer), but was quite a bit thicker.

Because it had 12 percent nickel, instead of being red, and toning to a brown color, it was a sort of tan color…and stayed that way. You could almost call it “stainless copper.”

(And, note, that our current “nickel” and the surface layers of our dime and quarter, are 25 percent nickel, 75 percent copper. Even though they are mostly copper, there’s no copper color to them at all!)

What design appeared on the 1856 patterns, and then the full production run of 1857 and 1858?

Why, that same eagle from the Gobrecht Dollar, of course.

As you can see, using a smaller coin didn’t help. Notice the eagle’s breast is flat. The wingtips, at least look good.

This peculiar copper nickel alloy earned this coin the nickname “nick,” but it did prove popular as it was much more convenient than those old large cents. So it looked like, on the whole, the experiment would be a success. Other countries had tried making nickel coinage, but usually it was pure nickel, and it was finicky to work with at the time, the biggest problem being to measure the heat of the coins when they were being annealed. (We had no thermometers, so the workers had to judge by the color the coin was glowing. And on a cloudy day, or late in the day, the light would be different enough to throw them off.) Poorly annealed planchets wore down the dies.

But we apparently had found an alloy that was tough, but workable.

(Incidentally the 1856 Flying Eagle cent pattern is a rarity, only 2000 were made, and they are nearly as expensive as Gobrecht dollars.)

The Indian Head Cent

Nevertheless, in 1859 we went to a new design, still on those copper-nickel thick planchets with the tan color.

Interestingly, this was the year Abraham Lincoln turned 50; no one at the time thought he was important enough to commemorate by changing the design of the cent, but that would change by the time he turned 100. Or 150. Or 200. But it’s funny that a major design change did occur for his 50th year just to complete the pattern!

The Indian Head cent would last until 1909. But not quite like this.

The very next year saw a change to the reverse, with the laurel wreath replaced with oak leaves and a shield added.

This reverse would stay with the Indian Head cent until it ended. But we’re still not done.

In mid-1864 it was decided to debase the coin just a bit. The nickel was removed from the alloy, and some tin was put in instead to make it bronze, rather than copper. The overall weight was reduced to 48 grains, exactly a tenth of a troy ounce. This, finally, was the “cent” we grew up with.

The new alloy, of course, would turn from red to brown over time, as people handled it. Interestingly, the better struck the coin, the more likely it was to turn brown (this had been true of the large cents as well).

And now we have coins where, when they are graded, there is a distinction made between red, red-brown, and brown colors (and red coins typically command a premium). The third party grading companies guarantee their numeric grade, but since their holders aren’t air tight, they will not guarantee that a coin they graded as “MS 60 RD” (Mint state 60, Red) will actually stay “red”.

I personally prefer them in red-brown–the price is cheaper (I won’t lose as much if the coin does tone on me) and it’s still not completely brown.

On these coins, the tips of the feathers are often poorly struck. Nevertheless we stuck with the design until mid 1909, and then it was time to commemorate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday, which was probably a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of old vets from the South who remembered the Civil War.

There was one more minor change in 1864. After switching to bronze, it was decided to add a small L to the design, it was the initial of James Longacre, the designer. 1864 L cents as they are known, are much more expensive than 1864 “no L” cents, but of course the L was retained from that point forward, so if you want a cent with the L on it and don’t care what year it is, that’s easy. Another tough one to find and pay for is an 1877, for some reason.

In 1908 and 1908 only, some of these were made in San Francisco and there is an S mintmark on the reverse. Those are also considerably more expensive than the non S ones. (Any 1909 cent with an S on it is expensive than without…and there were three of them: the Indian Head cent, the Lincoln Cent with VDB initials [a rarity even non-collectors have often heard about], and the Lincoln Cent without the VDB initials.)

So there you have a history of the Indian Head cent. My thanks to Wolf for suggesting the topic.

Standard disclaimer: I never show pictures of my coins, and in many cases don’t own anything remotely resembling the coins in these pictures. Any prospective thieves should know I also collect other heavy metals–anything with a heavier nucleus would be unstable–and keep those a lot closer to me than the coins.

Obligatory PSA

I think Wolf would fire me if I were to forget this.

Remember Hong Kong!!! And remember the tens of millions who died under the “Great Helmsman” Chairman Mao.

I sure hope he’s OK, but he’s in Hong Kong…

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

For my money the Great Helmsman is Hikaru Sulu (even if the actor is a dingbat).

DEAR KAG: 20200115 I Will Fear No Evil

Welcome to Fearless Friday at Wolf’s Pub!

The bar is open and conversation is flowing.

They aren’t going to win, you know. The fatal flaw, the deadly flaw, the flaw that assures We win, is that Evil has irrevocably separated itself from God. Evil personified is the devil and his demons. Those who carry out the designs of Evil in the end become its victims. Filled with all that “worketh and maketh a lie” (Rev. 21:27), those who indulge in evil will reap the reward of their father, the “father of lies,” as Jesus Christ calls the Evil One.

The devil devours his own. All the money, all the power, all the cosmetic surgery in the world cannot prevent the desiccation and decay of a depraved and corrupted soul. And it shows in the face. And it’s not just the Bitch, the CCP Tool and GS. That’s not just age that is ravaging those faces.

They have the whiff of sulphur about them as well as the black eyes of something otherworldly staring out at the world.

But we shall leave them to their deserved ends, both here and nearly certainly hereafter, and concentrate this fine Friday on ridding ourselves of FEAR and enjoying the delights of Frangelico, another lovely liqueur from the monks, Italian this time.

“Frangelico remains the premier hazelnut liqueur. Its origins go back over 300 years to the Christian monks who inhabited the Piedmont area of Italy. The name Frangelico is derived from one of those monks, Fra. Angelico. The bottle reflects this heritage, which looks like a glass monk, complete with a rope belt.”

And yes, Fra. Angelico is the same individual as the painter of that time! Frangelico is enjoyed neat (straight up without ice), on ice, with coffee (so stinking good you have to watch yourself), and in cocktails. You can find some really good cocktail recipes online.

HOUSE RULES

You know the House Rules. Civil. Civil. Did I say civil? Keep it as kind as you can, given these times. If you really just need to vent and verbally brawl, head over to the UTree, where your inner beast can cut loose. And if you are new or need a refresher on the house rules, go here. Thank you in advance for giving our burly bouncers nothing to do.

There’s nothing like music and the Holy Scriptures to bolster our faith and keep us on track NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. We are in this for eternity, not just for the next four years.

“2 Timothy 1:7, says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

The 23rd Psalm is probably the best known and loved psalm. It wasn’t originally written or sung for funerals. This evangelical pastor gives us a great Hebraic history lesson on this psalm. It is wonderful. Stick with it (just about 13 minutes) and you will be glad you did.

And here is a beautiful chant rendition of the 23rd Psalm.

“World War Three has started…This was a corrupt election, it was a coup d’etat against the American people and the government…The lockdown is part of it. Everyone wearing a mask…it is social conditioning.” Gen. McInerney
CLICK THE GENERAL’S NAME BELOW TO LISTEN TO HIS INTERVIEW

Now, it’s become quite apparent that none of us knows what the heck is going on. Theories abound. We are being bombarded from all sides with lies in this Information War, which Gen. Thomas McInerney and attorney Lin Wood are calling World War Three.

Events are speeding up as we race toward the apparent inauguration of Joe Whatshisname, aka the Usurper-in-Chief.

“Perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18

It seems the dam is breaking regarding declass and release of the stinking lying government plot to deny our duly-elected President his first term. Click the quote below to read and listen to John Solomon’s report.

“A bombshell revelation in the remaining FBI documents on Russia collusion shows that the entire narrative was created and leaked to the news media to neutralize Hillary Clinton’s concern that her email scandal hadn’t gone away.“

Who doubts that more will be happening in the days to come? Let us gird ourselves for bearing a bit of the burden of the corruption that unnamed patriots have been shouldering for years. God give them special graces and blessings for their service.

The third and last installment of the Navarro Report has come out. The criminality of what happened to OUR VOTES AND OUR PRESIDENT cannot be refuted. They can only be hidden and denied by the propagandist media.

Project Veritas is outing that Twitter creep (look at the dead eyes and flat effect) for violating our First Amendment rights in the name of “safety”. They think they are so clever, don’t they? These kind of tyrants always end up committing crimes of violence in the end, all in the name of “safety” and “security.” Insufferable prigs.

Here’s one for the trolls who extoll the RNC and GOP and other assorted traitors to our President. Enjoy! RNC money grab

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Ex. 14:14

That’s right. We will hold our peace.

And if you are so inclined, below is a prayer that the noted exorcist, Fr. Chad Ripperger, P.h.D, has asked be prayed every day until January 20.

His book Introduction to the Science of Mental Health is one of the best books I have read on the subject, because he understands both the spiritual, physical, and emotional aspects. He treats of the whole man.

Prayer of Command
In His Name and by the power of His Cross and Blood, I ask Jesus to bind any evil spirits, forces and powers of the earth, air, fire, or water, of the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature. By the power of the Holy Spirit and by His authority, I ask Jesus Christ to break any curses, hexes, or spells and send them back to where they came from, if it be His Holy Will. I beseech Thee Lord Jesus to protect us by pouring Thy Precious Blood on us (my family, etc.), which Thou hast shed for us and I ask Thee to command that any departing spirits leave quietly, without disturbance, and go straight to Thy Cross to dispose of as Thou sees fit. I ask Thee to bind any demonic interaction, interplay, or communications. I place N. (Person, place or thing) under the protection of the Blood of Jesus Christ which He shed for us. Amen

Please put your family, the United States of America and President Donald Trump as the intentions in the Prayer of Command.

Despair and Disillusionment

This very special DESPAIR & DISILLUSIONMENT thread
commemorates the greatest psy-op ever
attempted against Heaven’s beloved, mankind.

Here we are again

Imagine being Peter, seeing the miracles, the honor given to his teacher, the wild popularity with the people, and then, Jesus explains all of this is going to change.

³¹He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
³²He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ³³But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Mark 8:31-33

Peter feels he must help his teacher out. Jesus must be tired and have made a mistake. It’s hard to imagine the intensity of the sting of that rebuke from Jesus. Peter, soon to be the rock of the church, had been the mouthpiece of satan? Ouch.

But Jesus then pivots and turns this into a teaching moment Peter would never forget.

The Way of the Cross

³⁴Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. ³⁵For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
³⁶What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? ³⁷Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ³⁸If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Mark 8:34-38

And then the ministry starts to get really busy. I wonder if Peter forgot those words in the whirlwind of activity, or did he in quiet moments would revisit that stinging encounter and try to make sense of it all?

Later on, Jesus would tell the parable of the tenants.

“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. ²At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. ³But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. ⁴Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. ⁵He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

⁶“He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
⁷“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ ⁸So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

Mark 12:1b-8

Would that story haunt Peter’s dreams?

Then, in Bethany, a woman pours a very expensive perfume on Jesus’ head, scandalizing all present, excepting Jesus. Again Jesus patiently explains what is coming.

⁶“Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. ⁷The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.
⁸She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. ⁹Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Mark 14:6-9

This is when Judas snapped. He’d been following a madman. How could the Son of God be talking of defeat and death this way?

But Jesus did indeed suffer humiliation, torture, and death. Afterwards his closest disciples are ashamed at their lack of courage and in deep grief. His betrayer, Judas, hangs himself in despair.

The disciples of Jesus have taken a gut punch. The women following Jesus have proven to have much more courage than the men. What embarrassment! The only leadership shown was by Joseph of Arimathea, not in the inner circle at all, who boldly goes to Pilate and asks for the body of Jesus and gave some dignity to him in his death.

The disillusionment stung. The grief nearly unbearable. Such a dark fog of evil swirling around them, that they can’t even remember the promise he gave to rise on the third day.

While Christ is plundering hell, his disciples grieve.
