So, I was on my weekly date with God, and I opened a book that I read from time to time and chose a chapter having to do with Pope Paul VI’s most famous – and hardly ever read – Encyclical from 1968, Humanae Vitae. The truth of the matter having to do with that particular Encyclical is that Paul VI turned out to be right in the end, even if he was vilified for putting his thoughts in writing and not putting the Catholic Church on even footing “with the real world.” That’s a subject for another post.

However, in reading the last chapter in the book I read from time to time, I came to the realization that what we are seeing at this point with the attempts to limit population numbers, and diminish the food supply in both quantity and quality has its roots in – and please don’t attack the messenger – The Enlightenment.

Yes. Sorry to say, but the ORIGINAL work on population growth observations as presented by the authors of the book I read from time to time comes to us from Thomas Malthus, an English philosopher and clergyman who first penned his observations in 1798. (Paul Ehrlich’s ideas in The Population Bomb weren’t exactly original.) Wiki describes the gist of it thus:

In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation’s food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, humans had a propensity to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the “Malthusian trap” or the “Malthusian spectre”. Populations had a tendency to grow until the lower class suffered hardship, want and greater susceptibility to famine and disease, a view that is sometimes referred to as a Malthusian catastrophe. Malthus wrote in opposition to the popular view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible.[3]

Malthus saw population growth as being inevitable whenever conditions improved, thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: “The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man”.[4] As an Anglican cleric, he saw this situation as divinely imposed to teach virtuous behaviour.[5] Malthus wrote that “the increase of population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistence”; “population does invariably increase when the means of subsistence increase”; and “the superior power of population is repressed by moral restraint, vice and misery”.[6]

Malthus criticized the Poor Laws for leading to inflation rather than improving the well-being of the poor.[7] He supported taxes on grain imports (the Corn Laws).[8] His views became influential and controversial across economic, political, social and scientific thought. Pioneers of evolutionary biology read him, notably Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.[9][10] Malthus’ failure to predict the industrial revolution was a frequent criticism of his theories.[11]

Malthus laid the “…theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate, both scientifically and ideologically,[12] on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries.[13]” He remains a much-debated writer.

Debated, yes, but his observations remain, to an extent, true…and can be seen in a way as a basis for the argument in favor of limiting population growth, and all the “save the planet” rhetoric that keeps changing keywords and virtue signaling. Yes, as a clergyman, Malthus saw it as a duty to look after the poor, but there really isn’t much in the way of the Divine in how he presented his findings.

Food for thought when the movement known as “The Enlightenment” is revered among so many.

Q

Just 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 are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

And now for something completely different.

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. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey.

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:

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

And Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, although some of us are beginning to wonder what the threshold for true adulthood is:

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.

Psalm 32/33

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. [2] Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. [3] Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. [4] For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. [5] He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

[6] By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth: [7] Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses. [8] Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him. [9] For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created. [10] The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

[11] But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations. [12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance. [13] The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men. [14] From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth. [15] He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.

[16] The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength. [17] Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength. [18] Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy. [19] To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine. [20] Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

[21] For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted. [22] Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.

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

Dear KMAG: 20210405 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Thread

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

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).

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. We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.

If you find yourself in a slap fight, we ask that you take it outside to The U Tree…which is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here.

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.

Please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election:


For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Dan Thiessen, titled ‘There Will Be Generations Because Of You’:


Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

I will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wheatie’s Words of the Day:

calumniate/calumny

Branch Covidians – Seven Ways To See Through The Phony Pharmageddon of COVID-19


PREFACE

I thought that I might withhold this post on Easter Sunday, and then I changed my mind, thanks to Deplorable Patriot, Trump, Gab and Jesus. If anybody ever FOUGHT on Easter Sunday, it was Christ. It’s time to FOLLOW POINT.

The Branch Covidians have taken a toll, but the WAR is turning, and – somewhat in honor of the Branch Davidians who were SET UP and MURDERED by the globalist scum, it’s time for some JUSTICE.

I look at the people of this blog – many of whom HAD COVID-19 or whatever – being forced by socialist idiocy to take a vaccine that seems to show the most side effects in those who had the virus, and I am ENRAGED.

WHY? Where has science gone? Who will stand against this insanity?

The PEOPLE of America, LEERY OF THE LIARS, need to STAND against being subjects of the world’s greatest socialist medical experiment since Mengele and Auschwitz. The CHINAZI SCUM and their GLOBAL PUNK ALLIES who created this convenient misfortune – who seared my lungs to take my freedom – will not get away with this. It’s time to FIGHT BACK HARD.

LIKE TRUMP.

This is a long post that will, like vaccine side effects, expectedly yet unexpectedly rock a lot of people’s little worlds, so buckle up.

We take out something rather large in the intro, to “train the guns”, and then move on to Bio-9/11.

INTRO

The name Branch Covidians just suggests itself for the madness of turning a secondary sub-flu into a phony super-plague, but the truth is, the PLOT to pull off this MIND-FRACK was neither mad nor stupid, and goes much, much deeper than the abusable psychology of the people who were predictably ginned up as Mask Karens and Vaccine Custody Kens.

The roots of what was intended to be the first biological endless war, lie in the previous kinds of endless war. So let’s start there, with the endless war on guns.

If you know how Hillary Clinton was researching the apocalyptic Branch Davidian sect before the Clintons even got into the WH, then you will have a leg up on what I’m doing here and why I’m doing it. However, to nip this stuff in the bud, we will use PEACE, not VIOLENCE.

Observe.

You will see that the people running in with the convenient and money-moving solutions were, once again, the people who orchestrated the convenient problem.

I am learning to FIGHT LIKE TRUMP, and I’m going to SPREAD THE TECH, so to speak.

KNOWING THEIR M.O. is really starting to pay off for our side, and combining that with NUKES (of the information kind) and KNOWING WHO TO NUKE – which isn’t always the guiltiest party, but frequently the most STRATEGICALLY VULNERABLE…..

Sometimes being an escaping Buffalo lets you hear more than your friends Fly or Wolf.

…..is a real form of force multiplication.

Let’s get distracted by the “Branch Covidian” analogy for a second. This goes somewhere. Like the Branch Qvidians we were supposed to be.

Thus, to go back to the Clintons, we see a “future-proves-past” application of the Alinsky technique of freezing and isolating a “bad guy” was used on the Branch Davidians to go after guns, and yet in the beautiful way that Hillary Clinton always SCREWED UP…..

…..the other side was left in a kind of political debt which they never really got out of, and IMO that is part of why the GREAT AWAKENING is actually a thing.

This is not to say that the other side wasn’t able to keep pushing historic CRAP into the blender…..

…..or to subvert the American military and FBI almost fully into their designs…..

…..combined with some aspirin factories that eventually became a headache when a wolf sniffed some bottles in the rubble…..

…..thus realizing how this all connected to a repeatable and rather portable scam of creating security-state-monetizable bad guys who require us to give up our freedoms at the same time everybody gets robbed…..

…..however, the more beautiful part, in the Wolf’s opinion, was how much Great Awakening happened between THAT little incident and the NEXT bad guys – ISIS.

Why, one doesn’t think this much ACCEPTED REVELATION…..

…..happened all by itself, does one? Of course not. Some guys named “Q” were almost certainly doing quite a bit of work during that second Obama term that was supposed to be so fundamentally transforming.

Which it was.

You starting to see where I’m going?

Good.

Thus, when a certain…..

Buffalo Jump

I cannot claim credit for realizing that the tactical maneuver of Trump’s supporters to their political demise on January 6, 2021 at Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC, was something known to American historians and anthropologists as a buffalo jump. However, as soon as I heard the ill-fated demonstration called that, all my questions about what …

…..happened – perhaps with a little buffalo-tipping…..

….. and it became clear not only how prefabricated this little REICHSTAG was…..

Buffalo Jump: The Plot Thickens

Alternate Title: Bring Out The Owl! We continue with Part 2 of the Buffalo Jump series. For background, see Part 1: If you want a TL;DR version of what was wrong with the Capitol Rally on January 6, 2021, imagine trying to fit a million people into the little area numbered “8”, in the upper …

…..and that certain “white hats” who went along with this shit aren’t “uniformly” “white hats” (thank you, Scott)…..

Buffalo Jump: The Intolerable Lie

Alternate Title: The moment I realized that GOD would back me in going asymmetrical on these unworthy China-compromised “U.S.” military bastards. I have recently come into possession of information which made a lot of things start making a lot more sense. I only needed a final confirmation that I was correct – and I just …

…..and how all the old parties involved in prior “events”, seem to be involved in the new ones…..

Buffalo Jump: Mafia Princess Mysteries

Impeachahontas Now Wearing Two Diapers Nobody expected Chris Wray to play Mafia Nan’s queen of diapers face-up on January 6, but that is exactly what appears to have happened. The only question now is WHY. To quote a friend from a former life, “AYE-YI-YI!” OK – let me back up a bit. First, I want …

…..then it ALL started coming together that We, The People had actually FORCED the “monetizers of created bad guys and events” to bring their little schtick a little closer to our little home on the range.

Breach Club Blotter

Please add links, tweets, videos, etc. for ALL identifications, charges, arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing of those who were at or in the Capitol Building on January 6. I’m finding a TON of this stuff hitting the media right now, and I’d like to keep it all in one place. This includes *JOURNALISTS* (CNN or others), …

Now – this here buffalo has to tell you – the Great Mystery might get a little pissed off if this guy…..

…..(that would be the OTHER QAnon garbageman) is going to be blamed for the sins of all the folks inside that building behind him, including this lady…..

…..as well as other potential information warfare targets who might be able to put a lid on this shit by backing the fuck off before alliances are deservedly shattered….

…..and by this shit, I mean where QAnon (QA) and other patriotic American groups are supposed to be the next Al Qaeda (AQ), in a kind of globally forced implosion on America, because we can already see that the money-grubbing phony “national security” people, who sure seem a lot more like global leeches, including a bunch of pseudo-American Brits and Aussies (OK, let’s be kind and show a DIFFERENT one with a 5-letter name)…..

…..every bit as phony as the Chinese American “citizens” who spy for the ChiComs – are just chomping at the bit to come down on AMERICAN PATRIOTS who can see what’s REALLY going on, having been the victims of a little bit of, what might we call it, maybe “Britcasting”?

…..which didn’t exactly work…..

…..but hey – sometimes it’s better to surprise the burglars and robbers, and instead of going after THEM, just put a round in the ATM machine, so it stops spitting out the bills!

…..and it’s not like the Great Spirit needs to use the crude methods of self-infliction used on that fine September day, because – in this case – self-infliction happened on a fine January day, and at a lovely place a short ways away from the ATM, indeed, at a place where I sang the Star Spangled Banner, written the LAST TIME some Brits tried to burn Congress down, only that time without any chumps in polygonal buildings, and not trying to pass it off as having been the work of American patriots.

ARE WE REACHING AN UNDERSTANDING YET?

Good. I have actual [American] [and ironically global] National Security WORK to do, which is not simply cleaning up absolutely unnecessary shit. But I did have time for an intro, which allowed me to skip a fuller and more blatantly obvious, accusatory, evidence-filled, and alliance-rending post. Some people should be thankful that I’m as lazy as I am.

TL;DR- = BTFO


SECOND INTRO

Now it’s time to get down to some science – the purpose of all this.

COVID-19 is both real and a scam, and that’s why it’s hard for people who’ve been deprived of AND LOGIC their whole lives to decide which one it is. It’s not one or the other – it’s BOTH.

The entire subject of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 reflects this conjoined reality of truth and falsehood. Almost every aspect of this subject is both REAL and A SCAM. Every piece of the puzzle appears to be both TRUE and FALSE.

One might expect such a cunning thing, in YET ANOTHER MONETIZATION PLOT.

Are you seeing why I had that other intro? Good. What we have here, is ANOTHER fake bad guy – albeit rather microscopic – being used to gin up ANOTHER fake event, but a whole lot of REAL MONEY.

OK, I’ll admit it. Maybe it’s just REAL FAKE MONEY.

Better? Yeah, I like that better, too. Because I like REALITY, and that includes REAL MONEY.

Which seems to be becoming a bit POPULAR lately.

COVID-19 doesn’t want to answer questions. People who need solid answers FAST will not get them. People who need satisfying answers will have to wait. However, they won’t have to wait much longer. CRACKS are forming in stonewalls. Stories are being whispered by data. Many theories and ideas dry up and blow away, but some are sticking around, and appearing fundamental.

This post is NOT going to explain the basics of viruses and vaccines. THAT will be another post.

This post is going to throw some HONKIN’ HUNKS of precious metals, and some BIG-ASS diamond and sapphire pavers, through some MASSIVE picture windows – and these objects will just pass through glass to your amazement. I am going to CHANGE YOUR VIEW of this disease in fundamental but GOOD ways. Ways that tell you REAL NORMAL is still there, like it always was, and all this other BULLSHIT is an illusion.

I’m going to challenge your fundamental thinking about this disease, hopefully so that you “can’t unsee” certain ideas.

Are you ready? Here we go.

I will start off with an idea that will be used, very admittedly, to GAIN CREDIBILITY, by showing you where somebody SMART could have been EVEN SMARTER.

Resisting The Vaccination of Children And Supporting Natural Immunity Is Valorous

One of the absolute best things that President Trump ever did was to bring Dr. Scott Atlas aboard, as a common sense counterweight to the plotters Fauci and Birx.

And I mean PLOTTERS. When I’m done with this post, you’re going to want to see Fauci and Birx in prison. They will be lucky to get off with simply losing power. But when you see what REALLY happened – how DELIBERATE DECEIT about Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILIs) was weaponized against the world, to get rid of Trump and advance the Democrat, Globalist and Chinese political agendas, you will also see that the only way this could have been possible, is by deliberate misrepresentation of the facts to President Trump and America.

Fauci and Birx HAD TO KNOW. In my opinion, they felt that it was SO NECESSARY to get rid of Trump, that they were morally justified to hide the truths that they hid from us.

Well, we will let the justice system be the judge of that.

And, of course, Trump knew. I love that he finally got a chance to LET THEM HAVE IT.

And it won’t be the last time, either.

Back to Scott (Atlas).

Dr. Scott Atlas has a new essay in the wonderful Hillsdale College publication Imprimis.

Here are the first few paragraphs.


Science, Politics, and COVID: Will Truth Prevail?

 • Volume 50, Number 2 • Scott W. Atlas

Scott W. Atlas
Hoover Institution

The following is adapted from a speech delivered on February 18, 2021, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Phoenix, Arizona.

The COVID pandemic has been a tragedy, no doubt. But it has exposed profound issues in America that threaten the principles of freedom and order that we Americans often take for granted. 

First, I have been shocked at the unprecedented exertion of power by the government since last March—issuing unilateral decrees, ordering the closure of businesses, churches, and schools, restricting personal movement, mandating behavior, and suspending indefinitely basic freedoms. Second, I was and remain stunned—almost frightened—at the acquiescence of the American people to such destructive, arbitrary, and wholly unscientific rules, restrictions, and mandates.

The pandemic also brought to the forefront things we have known existed and have tolerated for years: media bias, the decline of academic freedom on campuses, the heavy hand of Big Tech, and—now more obviously than ever—the politicization of science. Ultimately, the freedom of Americans to seek and state what they believe to be the truth is at risk.

Let me say at the outset that I, like all of us, acknowledge that the consequences of the COVID pandemic and its management have been enormous. Over 500,000 American deaths have been attributed to the virus; more will follow. Even after almost a year, the pandemic still paralyzes our country. And despite all efforts, there has been an undeniable failure to stop cases from escalating and to prevent hospitalizations and deaths. 

But there is also an unacknowledged reality: almost every state and major city in the U.S., with a handful of exceptions, have implemented severe restrictions for many months, including closures of businesses and in-person schools, mobility restrictions and curfews, quarantines, limits on group gatherings, and mask mandates dating back to at least last summer. And despite any myths to the contrary, social mobility tracking of Americans and data from Gallup, YouGov, the COVID-19 Consortium, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have all shown significant reductions of movement as well as a consistently high percentage of mask-wearing since the late summer, similar to the extent seen in Western Europe and approaching the extent seen in Asia.

I cannot recommend this article highly enough. This article should be a rallying point for our fight, on many, many fronts. This is Scott Atlas “setting the record straight”, and in the process, revealing the moral and logical failure of our intellectual institutions to be HONEST in their disagreements about COVID-19, and all that surrounds it.

But I’m not going to get into that right now. I want to talk about only ONE particular point, but it is one which TOTALLY CHANGES THE FIGHT.

It is my only criticism of Dr. Atlas on COVID-19. It is a point where, I believe, he should have been even MORE aggressive, seeking utter clarity, and fighting for the CONSERVATIVE POSITION of natural immunity.

So what was the point?

One of the things you will notice, if you read this piece, is that Dr. Atlas defends himself as having ACTUALLY SAID or having NOT ACTUALLY SAID certain things – including whether or not he said, either verbatim or in essence, that we should “let children catch the disease.” He denied – or perhaps it’s better to say he quibbled about – having said this.

And he’s right. Dr. Atlas was terribly misread, misquoted, and even maliciously slandered.

People always look weak when they very correctly say “I didn’t say that”, about something which may or may not be an implication of what they DID say, but the “optics” of weakness are beside the point.

The problem is much more fundamental. The problem is that the media uses this questioning technique to pin people down AWAY from where they should be. It is a brilliant deception, by which the media keeps its victims stating that – TRULY – they did not say the controversial but correct thing that they SHOULD HAVE SAID.

It’s a game. A form of misdirection. A con job. Intellectual whack-a-mole, where the TRUTH is the mole that should be a lion. A cunning use of “Alinsky fears” – “YOU DIDN’T SAY THAT, DID YOU?” – to keep an opponent away from that opponent’s most powerful argument.

And the proper answer to the question, quite literally, is “I didnt say that – BUT I SHOULD HAVE, AND HERE’S WHY.

Under further questioning, “Yes. I’m saying that NOW.

The technique of media misdirection away from an unstated power point is a brilliant kind of “forced inverted quasi-strawman”, which gets one to refute their own best implied argument, by backing off from the insinuated truth.

It’s ingenious, and it works. But it’s WRONG. It DEMANDS push-back.

Stated bluntly, I believe that Dr. Atlas SHOULD have admitted the following:

YES – we want to let children risk catching COVID-19, because we have NO REASON to believe that vaccine immunity will be better than natural immunity, and every reason to believe that natural immunity will be SUPERIOR to vaccine immunity in every possible way, including both effectiveness and safety. It will be stronger and more durable immunity, almost without a doubt. And for children, it’s very likely to be safer than the vaccine. We need to think about the children’s future – not assuaging our own fears now.”

Once you SEE this – once you REALIZE how true this is – you realize that IT WAS A HILL WORTH DYING ON – AND NOBODY WOULD HAVE DIED.

There would have been a week-long firefight, where the media would attempt to “push it through” to “chickenpox parties” – just NO, YOU FUCKERS (we’d be rough, and it would be fun) – ending in the media pouting “well, you have no proof the new vaccines won’t be just as safe as current childhood immunizations”.

And you KNOW it would have been a “safe” bet that the new vaccines could not be that safe, but NOBODY HAD TO SAY THAT. Just wait for the facts on safety, but KNOW the following already:

(a) The actual HISTORY of the immune effectiveness of childhood diseases versus the LOWER effectiveness of our vaccines for them, says that natural immunity would be more effective – stronger and more durable.

(b) The actual HISTORY of all vaccines tells us that the low-hanging fruit has been more thoroughly picked already, and newer vaccines against harder targets, tend to be less safe, less effective, or both.

Do you see how EASY this would have been? We should have HELD THE LINE on letting children – our precious children – get the STRONGEST IMMUNITY POSSIBLE, AS SOON AND AS SAFELY AS KNOWINGLY POSSIBLE.

And not just that – THESE ARGUMENTS extend to many adults as well, who are at LOW RISK.

Trump insinuated more strongly on children’s natural immunity – as strongly and as often as he could – but we the scientists could have been stronger. Yeah, I will admit it – I’m a year late and trillions of dollars short, too.

THIS is why I say that Atlas was STRATEGICALLY correct – we needed to defend children – which he did. But TACTICALLY, we should have pushed further and deeper, to not just hold the ground on children, but to advance past it.

And that brings me to my next point.

Volunteers for Natural Immunity are Braver than the Vaccinated and Deserve Respect

Again, we see how the phony Fake News media, as a SHILL for med-pharma-socialism, the Democrat Party, and the CCP, has inverted the reality of the vaccinated vs. those who choose to risk the disease for the stronger immunity it imparts.

Play CHICKEN GAMES – get CHICKEN IMMUNITY.

And this extends to those of us who were merely VICTIMS of the disease, and didn’t even get a T-shirt saying:

“I HAD MULTIPLE COMORBIDITIES, I WENT THROUGH HYPOXIC HELL, AND ALL I GOT WAS STRONG IMMUNITY AND THIS DAMN T-SHIRT”.

This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, actually, as a VICTIM of COVID-19, who is now holding, as my meager golden chump change, the ACTUAL STRONGER IMMUNITY.

I don’t WANT your weak and unpredictable vaccine. I got the disease and LIVED. I like my immunity. I pick my nose, I eat off other people’s plates, I don’t wear a mask, and life is just like before.

GO TO HELL, KAREN.

I have watched how SO MANY people, who understand their own health and their own RISKS, have felt FORCED to do the opposite of their natural inclination – to either get the vaccine or NOT get the vaccine – because of pressure by those around them, or worse yet, by highly conflicted stakeholders like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, highly conflicted organizations like CDC and WHO, and highly conflicted politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Gavin Newsom.

I have watched these same victimized people – including posters on this blog – dealing with what I can only describe as psychological and social ABUSE at the hands of the ant-like MINIONS of the conflicted socialist scum – victimization that should never happen in a free society.

The Karens and Kens and Chicken Littles who try to FORCE upon these victims their vaccine paranoia – and by vaccine paranoia I mean the absurd idea that “you have to get the vaccine to save ME – and GRANDMA” – I mean WHAT THE HELL – sorry – just CUT IT OUT, you BLUE SCUM. This is socialist propaganda, mediated through false and blame-shifted guilt-mongering, and it needs to be driven from American society with prejudice, because we don’t want this crap back.

Now – I’m not just blowing SMOKE that natural immunity to COVID-19 is QUALITY STUFF. You see, there is an excellent and respected scientific study on this, appearing in Science, funded by Fauci’s own rat operation, and touted by NIH, that you have not heard about, because our SHILL MEDIA didn’t want you to hear about it.

Yeah, think about that. An NIH-touted study that the media just missed. DARN!

LINK: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19

The study says the natural immunity is mediated by multiple known and measured immunological mechanisms, and is still nice and strong even 8 months after recovery.

IN FACT, the NATURAL immunity is giving them HOPE that the vaccine immunity MIGHT BE just as good.

This work is not unique – similar early studies by other researchers were cited in the New York Times back in August of 2020.

You got that? Natural immunity is proven to last. Your vaccines which – as we know from over a century of experience, are almost invariably LESS immunizing than the disease – may last as long IF WE ARE LUCKY.

Yeah, I’m a little pissed about having had this disease, having permanent shortness of breath, and then being forced to wear a STUPID hypoxia-inducing mask, when I’m IMMUNE, and more immune than with your damn vaccine.

You want a link for the hypoxia part? I DID THE WORK MYSELF.

The Bidening of America – How Cognitive Decline is Being Forced Upon Us All Through the ChiNazis’ Useful Idiots, the Mask Nazis

TL;DR – skip down to “Crucial Experiment” and read how you can prove to yourself that masks cause real and measurable cognitive decline that lasts long after you unmask. NPR and other leftists who say masks don’t affect you and your children are LYING. LOOK, it’s time to be blunt. Senility – Cognitive Decline – …

BYE, KAREN! You hear me? And take your damn masks and vaccination passports with you!

I’m IMMUNE, you BITCH!!!

Seriously, having a population of CONTROLS is smart science, and if Fauci were a better and more honest scientist, he would have gotten out ahead on that long ago, and ironically would have gotten more of the right people vaccinated, but – well – they’re not in this for any of their stated reasons.

In The Game of Mutant Variant Fear-Mongering Chicken, Fauci Swerved

Have you noticed how there is SO MUCH BTFO on the COVID-19 “variants” thing, lately?

It’s like all of a sudden, nobody wants to talk about variant doom. Indeed – THIS article….

T cells recognize recent SARS-CoV-2 variants

…..was news released on March 30, and Anthony Fauci is even LISTED as “available for comment” on it!

There’s a reason.

Mareks_Disease_Vaccine_Chickens.jpg
Playing Chicken With The Truth Is Always Dangerous

Now, it is WAY TOO EARLY for a non-epidemiologist like me to opine as to which side of the “variants” infinity-hedron is most correct, but I’m here to tell you that THIS THING’S GOT SIDES OUT THE WAZOO, and yet the number of sides is dropping electric-razor fast, and it will be painful when whatever remains passes through Fauci’s rear end as the final truth, whatever that truth may be.

On the one side, there is, and has been, from the very beginning, evidence that “variants” are real, but not a big problem.

But did MUH VARIANTS suddenly get worse?

Doctor Rand Paul brilliantly but subtle as a ship-destroying laser through a window CALLED OUT the author of the Fauci Virus on his role in scaremongering against persistent realities, and I will admit to having ridden down on his bomb with some of my own contribution to the massive BTFO which ensued.

Rand Paul Nails Fauci and Cuts to the Chase on Coronavirus Variants – Are the Vaccinated and Recovered Even Getting Reinfected or Sick?

Introduction You have GOT to see the video I’m going to show you. It’s not just what they’re talking about. It’s WHERE IT LEADS. Most of the people who watch Rand Paul go after Fauci here, are concentrating on MASKS, because that is the TOP LAYER of the argument. But THAT is the small potatoes. …

And yeah, I could not help but notice WHERE the suddenly bad variant problem got suddenly bad…..

But before that, the “variants” problem turned even further South for the Branch Covidians, when yet another scientist – this one uncomfortably close to Bill Gates – noted that the “variants problem” could mean vaccines were a huge backfire all along – but without going “full Marek”. And this dude went “full chicken” against the vaccine establishment, with that little medical mafia punk in the driver’s seat.

Not trusting Twitter, let’s just save that tweet….

…..as well as his open letter…..

He also did a nice interview explaining his warnings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtHfI00D_s4

That interview was then re-explained by Del Bigtree.

What you are seeing RIGHT NOW is how politicized the science has become, to where this guy has to go on TWITTER, or get picked up by YouTubers and podcasters, to call into the open what should be a big open question in science.

The game is normally – if you want to keep your job in science – to massage one’s own message of truly perceived truth toward the media’s badly managed but persistently publicly perceived mainstream “bag of somebody’s intentional errors” so as not to lose the credibility needed to stay in the game. It’s sick, it’s wrong, and it’s ugly. But honestly, you have to be RETIRED in science to speak what you’re really thinking, any more. The MEDIA controls too much of it.

Watch PBS science these days, and you realize it’s all about DAMAGE CONTROL.

That’s a good thing, compared to what it was. It means WE’RE WINNING. Slowly, painfully, and at great cost, but we’re beating these bastards back.

REVEL in the coast-down, brothers and sisters.

Vaccine Passports Are a Gift to Patriots

I’m just gonna keep this short. Vaccine Passports are going to create a rebellion like you’ve never seen. They’re the best enemy overreach since Obama made the mistake of including “Bibles” with “guns” in his “bitter clingers” statement.

Here I am – a recoveree – science NOW on my side PERSONALLY to keep my natural immunity – science IN THE FUTURE (if it were honest) on my side to take a risk and KEEP me as a CONTROL going forward, even though I’d probably tolerate the vaccine no problems – even idiot-build Moderna 1.0……

…..meaning I’m volunteering to catch “in the wild” version COVID-25 just to make the science better…..

……and yet the statists, dumb as oxen, just keep pushing the forced vaccination stupidity.

Because it’s not about the disease. It’a about control.

Just keep overreachin’, guys. I never thought they’d set me up to win SCIENCE MINDS.

And yet HERE we are…..

Treating SARS-CoV-2 as Flying Snakebite Solves Most Mysteries of the Disease and the Vaccines

I’m just being cute there. Here is a better title, probably acceptable to many scientific journals.

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Analogies to Components of Crotalid Snake Venoms and Application to Treatment of COVID-19 and Vaccine Adverse Effects

The first title is so very “Q Tree”. The second is more like Wolf in his former life. The word “analogies” is pushing it, editorially, but that can be played properly in the body of the paper, baiting in a reviewer-pleasing disclaimer on limiting the extent of the comparison, and all is good.

I’m not sure when I first realized that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (hereafter “SP”) bore a remarkable resemblance to hemotoxic snake venoms, but I am thinking it was after I realized that the preponderance of vaccine side effects in the clinical trials were either hematological, cardiovascular, similar to the disease itself, or all of the above.

Analogies are frequently crap, and they’re never perfect BECAUSE they’re analogies, but they’re still the best beater screwdrivers ever to start fixing stuff in Scienceville. When Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell saved millions of elderly lives from Chinese/Deep State duplicity by a limited but very useful comparison of COVID-19 hypoxia to high-altitude sickness, and realized we were doing vents seriously wrong and killing people, God smiled, wept, and said “The fallacy of fallacy – this guy gets it.”

What follows isn’t anywhere near that good, but it gave me an opportunity to retweet Doc Cameron’s angelic post in a form Twitter and YouTube can never take down.

The idea that side-effects of the C19 vaccines might be similar to the disease itself is just baseline reasoning. The main active vaccine component of ALL of the vaccines for COVID-19 is either a stabilized spike protein (SSP), or the genetic instructions thereof (in mRNA or DNA). SSP is basically SP with a very few amino acids or corresponding genetic sequences replaced to make the SSP molecule hold its shape in the most immunizing form reminiscent of SP. This is done because natural SP changes shape drastically upon interaction with cellular receptors to which it attaches, This vaccine-undesirable behavior assists virus entry, and also suppresses the opportunity to gain immunity by antibodies reacting to the “normal” unchanged form. Evolution. Beautiful stuff. GOD-MODE reality. Antibodies react to the CHANGED form instead, and become fairly useless. Life gets Lagrangian, and we’re in the pipe, 5:5.

Once you realize how “out of the pipe” that movie really is, you start seeing some really interesting curves. But what the heck, it’s Good Friday. It’s all good.

Back to the story. Snakes and all.

Wikipedia denigrates (or more charitably overlooks) a guy named Bill Haast to obscurity as a proponent/explorer of mitrhidatism, which bluntly means the near-if-not-actual fallacy of taking poison to gain immunity to it, but in my opinion Haast was really one of the first people to explore in a serious way not only the general mithridatism-vaccination continuum, but even more specifically the fact that small molecules don’t provide enough mathematical possibility for organisms to beat poisoning (yet – wink), but proteins do, and thus life as a multi-faceted thing which makes and breaks protein poisoning as a tactic, can bargain and negotiate back to the beautiful place where it works for all beasts, great or small.

Come again?

Sure.

Bill Haast was injecting himself with snake venoms, which don’t contain fluoride, strychnine, tetrodotoxin, dioxin, cocaine, meth, lead, osmium tetroxide, or a lot of other small-molecule poisons, but DO contain, as their most interesting and active components, PROTEINS, which do in fact lend themselves to mithridatism – whoops – I meant vaccination.

Proteins which do things remarkably similar to the SPIKE PROTEIN of SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Once you see this, almost every aspect of reality underlying Branch Covidianism can be explained logically, which I find wonderfully ironic, coming from a Branch Qvidian who actually believes in God as a useful tool of deep protoscience, because a universe that gunpoints everybody toward where Moses went on TRUTH without guns – oh, man – what a ride. I’ll take more Top Macguffin with my popcorn, please!

I’ve pontificated intermittently and increasingly on the utility of looking at spike protein through the snake venom looking glass, which is not meant to keep people from vaccinating, but rather to show people how some of the most useful scientists – like Bill Haast and some guy named Faraday – are a deep part of the beauty, and if your child out there is some little girl who likes snakes and spiders, don’t change her sex – just LET HER. Science doesn’t have to be neat. It just has to be RIGHT.

I will include a few links to those pontifications as I find them, but here is one for starters.

How AstraZeneca Vaccine Problems May Be Soluble Using Antibody Treatments

Maybe I won’t find the other links. Why? I’m going to throw a freebie to the “natsec” people I just burned. If instead of “going after” QAnons and other “extremists” you did something incredibly useful, and got all Bob Massie and SciFinder on the future of populist good, you might do more good than harm.

Did Fauxi and Birx Hide Beta Coronavirus Prevalence and Diagnostic Cross-Over in Antibody Tests, and Non-Infective Coronavirus Genetic Incorporation, To Assist PCR-Based Fragment Fraud?

I think it’s time to ask.

One of the biggest mysteries / non-mysteries of this whole COVID thing has been the seeming disappearance of ACTUAL INFLUENZA from epidemiological statistics, as well as the prior 4 weak beta coronaviruses, almost all being not just displaced, but REPLACED by COVID-19.

There are “good” explanations for this, but to be frank, they support the Branch Covidian narrative a little too much for my tastes. Have a listen. This dude is WAAAAAAY SOOOOTHING to listen to.

You gettin’ that same vibe?

The fact is, viruses DO COMPETE, and that competition activates our defenses, making the competition even more severe, so one virus DOES help protect you from the next. But that doesn’t make ALL the funny business I’m seeing go away.

Now, it’s a bit ironic that this guy’s same reasoning about interferons from one infection preventing others – which also happens during vaccination (as taught to me by Dr. Shiva), is EXACTLY why you should never get two vaccines at the same time, in my careful opinion, because I get the feeling that this dude would check the PC position on multi-vax before assuring us that “Medicine Knows Best(TM)” and “don’t worry about multiple vaccines – your vaccines have all been tested and are found to be safe, blah, blah, blah.”

But there is something that even more fundamentally bothers me about his explanation. Viral interference only works by something ACTUALLY infecting people, who then become protected against THAT virus and OTHER THINGS. The only non-infected people who are protected beyond that, are protected by herd immunity.

Stated differently, if there are enough infections with COVID-19 in the population to STOP THE FLU (that’s how it works – RIIIIIGHT?) then surely there must be enough infections with COVID-19 to be preventing COVID-19 itself from finding new hosts by that same mathematical protection, too – RIIIIIGHT? Which is herd immunity. That should be showing up BIGLY.

But we’re not at COVID-19 herd immunity yet. And yet FLU doesn’t seem to be standing a chance.

You seein’ that? This is, quite bluntly, “weird kinetics”. Something very fishy about this excuse. I’m not exactly buying it – especially when the “kinetics” of faulty testing seem to explain things better, as we will see.

I am buying that SOME viral interference is likely going on, but his whole reassuring spiel just seems a bit too pat. Certain meters are just pegging out, and they’re not the good meters.

If you read the comments on this video, there is evidence that (1) many places are no longer even testing for flu, which very much supports where I’m going, but (2) supposedly, in some that HAVE tested for both COVID and flu, influenza has basically disappeared.

Sure, the absolute MESS that CDC created in both testing and statistics is not making me trust all the numbers, so let’s just say that viral interference is VERY LIKELY. But is it responsible for everything?

I have even thought – and I simply CANNOT dismiss this hypothesis – that maybe – just MAYBE – the flu vaccine was working a LOT better than these people were letting on, but that the argument in Branch Covidian clerical circles was “We can’t let off on the mantras of MOAR COMPLIANCE, or we’ll lose ground.”

What this would have meant is that ACTUAL endemic levels of influenza are far lower than we the public thought, because the CDC was pushing for vaccine compliance at levels that would solve flu at its frequently epidemic levels. Combine a different bug grabbing the golden epidemic ring with people still taking their flu shots for epidemic influenza levels, and influenza was just beaten down silly.

Which is viral interference PLUS flu vaccination “over-compliance” – basically vaccination that was actually working as a public health response, even with MANY people not taking it, but no, they have to always lie to us about things NOT working to get more compliance. Flu vaccine “failure because of YOU” is the white guilt of public health. Now coronavirus vaccine “failure because of YOU” is the Christian guilt to go with it.

Bastards. It’s not about solving the problem. It’s about CONTROL.

But it gets WORSE.

Enter TWO very interesting phenomena that were EXPOSED and oddly not anticipated.


(a) Antibody Testing Yahooism and Crossover from Other Coronaviruses

One of the things that really bothered me about American antibody testing was that the CDC loaded those numbers into normal infected “cases”. They didn’t count antibody positives as a separate kind of case, which would have made sense. They actually added them to regular infection case numbers, along with the numbers from the (already bad) PCR test.

But it got worse. We couldn’t even trust the antibody tests to give us good numbers on COVID-19, because once they arrived, there was a disclaimer that they might – or as was verified later WERE – picking up antibodies from prior infections with OTHER, NON-COVID-19, coronaviruses.

Holy CRAP.

And then, of course, this gets worse because we later learn that people are over-cooking PCR tests everywhere, trying to get bigger COVID numbers, or just because they never calibrated their machines.

Science! Yeah – it really works WHEN YOU ACTUALLY DO IT.

When you fake it? Not so much.

(b) Benign but Test-Significant Genetic Incorporation of SARS-CoV-2 and Possibly Other Coronaviruses

I have a VERY hard time believing that Anthony Fauci didn’t KNOW “coronavirus fragment replay from genetic incorporation” was either a FACT, or at least a possibility. OK – I’ll be more blunt. I think he KNEW, and kept it as an ACE IN THE HOLE.

Now I could explain this one very quickly, too, but I think people need the full monty here, because we have been having a lot of debates on genetic incorporation, and this is a point that is hotly debated with Branch Covidians. So I’m going to take this one very slowly. You may learn something.

One of the most “fun facts” – I thought – was the idea that our genomes, and the genomes of most life on this planet, seem to be literally chock full of VIRAL TRASH, accumulated over eons. It’s almost like that principle that everybody has royalty SOMEWHERE in their family tree, except it would be more like double digit percentages of royalty. I mean, “WHUUUUUUT? You KIDDING me?”

So just keep that in mind as we go forward. There is viral TRASH filling up our genomes. It must have gotten there somehow. I’ll bet it was VIRUSES!

“VIRUSES DID WHUUUUT?”

So – I walk into this whole COVID thing, and the very first vaccine that gets into the news, I go digging on it, and it not only turns out to be a “Bill Gates vaccine” [HINT – almost ALL the top vaccines have Bill Gates funding] – it turns out it’s a DNA vaccine.

Yup. Those little circles are DNA.

So I’m just a stupid outsider with too much knowledge to keep from asking stupidly annoying questions, so I ask one, like “well, if these are genetic vaccines, which are supposed to have all the “genetic advantages” of viruses as genetic vectors, what happens if they actually DO act like viruses and leave JUNK?

It’s NOT an unreasonable question, and this not only gives me an opportunity to explain WHY – it gives me a opportunity to deal with multiple types of annoying propaganda very quickly.

The first vaccines (as we know them) were ACTUALLY VIRUSES. That’s why they’re called “vaccines“, and vaccination is called “vaccination” – because it started with infection with cowpox, which eventually “gained function” (meaning mutations that make a virus “better” at something) to become the vaccinia virus. [This is disregarding the likely fact that part of that gain of function may have been humans foisting a sequence quantum jump to the very similar horsepox, already a natural GOF.] So in a WAY, we treated smallpox with one of the very first “DNA vaccines” [MASSIVE QUOTES] – that being an actual live virus.

Let me drill down on that a bit.

Viruses are just DNA or RNA in a protein wrapper which is coded for by the DNA or RNA, along with any other proteins useful in the HACK that viruses are.

THUS, any vaccine which uses “live” RNA or DNA which THEN creates protein antigens which prompt your immunity, is essentially (but not precisely, in the way we ACTUALLY talk about them) an RNA or DNA vaccine. If it’s weakened or dead virus, and it’s only the PROTEIN of the shell of the virus that’s activating your immunity, then it’s NOT “in essence” an RNA or DNA vaccine.

Let me say this in another way that is more direct in dealing with certain propaganda.

It is kinda silly (to me) to say that mRNA vaccines and DNA vaccines are not vaccines, because of the genetic angle, when they actually get back to the principles of the ORIGINAL vaccines, which used the DNA or RNA of a live or attenuated virus to CREATE ANTIGEN.

I’m basically saying that not only do mRNA and DNA vaccines fit the very general and beautiful MODERN CDC definition of a vaccine – they very closely hew to the OLDEST definition of a vaccine from GEORGE WASHINGTON’S TIME – thanks to the dependence on mRNA or DNA.

I mean, DAYUM – the history of science is SO FREAKIN’ COOL. Stuff just COMES BACK INTO FASHION.

It was only later, when we used dead viruses, or synthetic recombinant proteins and glycoproteins from the viruses, that we actually GOT AWAY from using vaccines that relied on DNA or RNA, and were INSTEAD using the final protein itself.

Now if you want to go on saying “mRNA and DNA vaccines are not vaccines – they’re gene therapy” – I will make you one final offer of compromise – could we agree that they’re BOTH? Because if you can agree to that, you’re going to love an upcoming section of this post.

OK – I’m done with that point for now.

ANYWAY, what I found in this COVID thing, is that NOBODY in Big Pharma or Big Vaccines (like Bill Gates) really wanted to talk about the genetic aspects of these vaccines. There are multiple reasons, some obvious, some not. The genetic stuff is simply controversial.

And THAT is useful, if you don’t want people talking about it FOR OTHER REASONS – like making a scam work.

Now I was talking to Duchess, Grandma, Cthulhu and Scott, about Fauci, in the comments HERE, when Cthulhu said THIS:

“The thing is, this isn’t Fauci’s first rodeo. He spectacularly failed during the AIDS crisis, forever calling for vaccines that never happened — and pooh-poohing therapeutics, thereby sentencing many thousands to a miserable death.

And then Scott said THIS:

“What if he’s not ‘failing’ at all?
What if he is accomplishing exactly what he intends to accomplish, it’s just not what you think he’s trying to accomplish?”

To which I responed like THIS:

“Yeah, that is the key. You nailed it. Fauci likely had his eyes on a vaccine that could be given to everybody, which would allow gene therapy to commence.
OMG, that’s it. You solved the crime! 
THIS PAPER gives away the game!!!”
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.12.422516v1.full

I urge you to read that whole section, starting HERE.

Now – my speculation right there, on Fauci’s motive being gene therapy, is just pure speculation, since I don’t yet even have any idea what KIND of vaccine he was interested in for AIDS, but I think that gene therapy is at least PART of the motive of almost everybody in the Big Pharma push for COVID-19 vaccines right now. This is not a hard bet. Wait for the next section of this post.

Short version – a good SCAM to force gene therapy on society targets the “red up arrow” “special” feedback to DNA in the following image, doing so accidentally, which both HIV and (apparently) coronavirus(es) do.

LOL. Why, what a coincidence.

However, more relevant to the question of this section, RE the “fragment fraud”, is the idea that Fauci has now shown TWICE an extreme interest in vaccines for viruses which incorporate to some significant extent into the genome. This means that a person infected with them, is basically STUCK as a positive test, if you scam things properly using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This isn’t the same motive as genetic therapy, but it COULD be a bonus.

SO….. was PCR identified as an abusable all along? Hold my wine, I’m getting Kary Mullis on the science-radar-love phone without resorting to dark means (meaning I did a great web search and found this real treat for you). Kary always said it WAS being abused. And while I suggested a maybe kinda “well, at least try this” fix for that on these pages a while back, I imagine I was far from the first to suggest it.

OK – let’s back up AGAIN. In my response to Scott, I cited THIS paper, submitted December 14, 2020.


SARS-CoV-2 RNA reverse-transcribed and integrated into the human genome

Summary

Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding and recurrence of PCR-positive tests have been widely reported in patients after recovery, yet these patients most commonly are non-infectious114. Here we investigated the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 RNAs can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the human genome and that transcription of the integrated sequences might account for PCR-positive tests. In support of this hypothesis, we found chimeric transcripts consisting of viral fused to cellular sequences in published data sets of SARS-CoV-2 infected cultured cells and primary cells of patients, consistent with the transcription of viral sequences integrated into the genome. To experimentally corroborate the possibility of viral retro-integration, we describe evidence that SARS-CoV-2 RNAs can be reverse transcribed in human cells by reverse transcriptase (RT) from LINE-1 elements or by HIV-1 RT, and that these DNA sequences can be integrated into the cell genome and subsequently be transcribed. Human endogenous LINE-1 expression was induced upon SARS-CoV-2 infection or by cytokine exposure in cultured cells, suggesting a molecular mechanism for SARS-CoV-2 retro-integration in patients. This novel feature of SARS-CoV-2 infection may explain why patients can continue to produce viral RNA after recovery and suggests a new aspect of RNA virus replication.


This paper is showing that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is incorporating into the genetics of people, and it potentially explains why some people shed test-triggering virus protein and/or protein FRAGMENTS for a long time.

And remember – this could be happening for very mild cases, because those same mild cases are giving lasting immunity.

But what is so cool about this work is how politically incorrect that science was at the time, and still is, precisely because the TRUTH might be ammunition for the antivaxxers! HA. What scientific WEAKLINGS. Follow that link above to the paper, or to a Science article discussing it, and you will see – there were Branch Covidian clergy already thinking there needed to be an Inquisition, and maybe suppression of this work which might lead people into error. Oh, Ann Coulter was so right – it’s a RELIGION.

So – how does this ALL come together? Let’s replay the title of this section, to bring all the pieces together.

Did Fauxi and Birx Hide Beta Coronavirus Prevalence and Diagnostic Cross-Over in Antibody Tests, and Non-Infective Coronavirus Genetic Incorporation, To Assist PCR-Based Fragment Fraud?

The pieces of the scam are:

  • lots of pre-COVID coronaviruses – more than people realize
  • influenza baseline being effectively beaten down by “hidden” vaccine over-compliance
  • early release of COVID-19 which was denied by the media, WHO and the CDC
  • cross-over in testing by (maybe) influenza and/or (mostly) pre-COVID coronaviruses
  • counting antibody tests as actual cases NOW
  • COVID-19 definitely engaging in “fragment genetic incorporation”
  • other coronaviruses likely doing the same
  • PCR tests being run at default cycles
  • PCR tests being run at too many cycles “to be safe”
  • PCR tests for COVID-19 being run either FIRST or EXCLUSIVELY
  • PCR tests picking up recoverees shedding fragments in an accelerating curve
  • antibody tests picking up other coronaviruses and recoverees b/c fragments

If you look at this honestly, the whole thing is TIPPED to giving too high of numbers, and the only thing that will get good numbers is scientific discipline, pushing back AWAY from a positive diagnosis. One has to talk BACK to borderline diagnosis and say NO.

The PROBLEM with that is that FEAR pushes people to ERR on the side of CAUTION and say MAYBE or YES – this is a case – resulting in borderline tests being run for extra PCR cycles, or cycle settings being WAY too high, or people just calling it a case to be safe.

The psychology sabotaged this thing from the beginning. And I think people KNEW THIS.

And yet, they clearly didn’t have HIGH ENOUGH numbers to guarantee removal of Trump (the obvious objective), so CUOMO and his henchmen and henchladies conspired to push the numbers even HIGHER in nursing homes.

WHATEVER.

The real point is this. The TESTING PARADIGM was FLAWED, and people who knew better did NOT try to get accurate numbers by pushing back on known defects or risks in the testing – they tried to get BIGGER numbers by PRETENDING they didn’t know.

Yeah.

Democrats. Like Fauci and Birx.

No Matter What One Calls The COVID-19 Vaccines, mRNA and DNA Vaccines are Now an Open Gateway to Gene Therapy and Genetic Modification

This is where I come out of the closet on transhumanism. Bluntly, I’m not TOTALLY opposed to ideas of advancing technology. I just think we have to be HONEST and RESPONSIBLE TO THE PEOPLE in letting technology advance.

There is a continuum on “trans”, with transbutchery on one end, and transfiguration on the other end, but I refuse to call everything in the middle “bad”, because God implements in the real world, and building the Kingdom of Heaven means HERE and NOW.

Yup. I listened to too many radio preachers. I spoke to too many Christians and Jews and Buddhists on the opposite end of the world and everywhere in between, thanks to technology. MAXWELL and FARADAY helped save my ass. And TESLA says there’s MOAR, and it can be a GOOD THING.

One of the things I did at the beginning of this COVID ride, when I saw that everybody was HIDING the fact that we were rolling out genetic vaccines with minimal disclosure on the genetic part, clearly as a way of keeping the anti-vax response from going off the charts too soon, was to challenge everybody on Twitter with rather neutral mini-disclosures, as well as polls that would help everybody ‘fess up to reality. On the one side, it’s important to “ease out” the truth, but on the other side, it’s just important to get the truth out AT ALL.

So I got GREAT responses on my various polls including (1) would you take a BILL GATES VACCINE and (2) would you take a TRUMP VACCINE, with TRUST turning out to be a big thing – up to a point. But what people may not have noticed, was my craftily mixing in there, as much as I could, the more real ideas of mRNA and DNA vaccines.

Now I’m rightfully leery of mRNA and DNA vaccines simply as an honest scientist who knows MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE in the past, and now is no time for that to stop, in our much more finite universe than some that are possible. Yes, it’s a small risk, given the larger truth that…..

old-school vaccines that use live viruses, are *literal* DNA and RNA vaccines, if you get right down to it

……but the smaller truth is, even the Moderna scientists pre-quibbled on their own mRNA technology, with jazz hands aloft, saying as obscurely as they could, in one of their first vaccine papers, “BUH BUH BUH we warned you on long-range side effects as unknowns”, which are still a small but real risk, and that risk being IN ADDITION TO any dishonesty in Big Pharma, which of course NEVER happens.

Yup. Nobody can ever beat Scott467’s point that dishonesty by the industry AUTOMATICALLY JUSTIFIES vaccine refusal. Sorry – it just DOES. I don’t want to say YOU DAMN IDIOTS, but YOU DAMN IDIOTS.

But here is my new freebie to avoid the next debacle:

We’re CONTROLS, you idiots

Yup. Science needs controls. Vaccine refusers ARE CONTROLS – totally voluntary – fully informed – and just imagine if somebody smart came out and back-talked the idiot media and said:

“We will need controls – we’re good with the people who don’t want to vaccinate – they’ll help”

And when Blubbering Acosta and Sneering Welker push back in outraged tones, that person might say:

“Look, vaccine technology is accelerating – and it has to, and will, no matter what. Mistakes will be made along the way, but honesty fixes them as soon as possible. Keeping technology adoption voluntary is one of the single most important and best absolutes we can adhere to, as a nation and as a planet, for a bright future – just like free speech, just like independent science, just like respecting religious freedom – that can help us steer straight and not miss the mark. The press needs to stop being SCOLDS if they want to win back the hearts and minds they lost through helping their favorite party and candidates politicize science.”

Then, just let chattering, argumentative, toes-bouncing-on-fancy-chairs, press stupidity prove itself right there.

See? THAT is how to deal with advancing tech. VOLUNTARILY and HONESTLY.


OK, I really will get back to the subject.

How do I KNOW that they’re irreversibly gatewaying from these genetic vaccines to gene therapy and genetic modification (hereafter “genvac”, “genvax”, “genther”, “genmod” and the like)?

TWO WAYS.

(1) CRISPR-based vaccines – which are straight-up genvax by genmod – are waiting EXCITEDLY in the wings.

(2) The Bidenoids at Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) couldn’t wait for the COVID-19 bodies to cool, before they started getting a serious Bidenish jones for GenVac‘s sexy sister GenTher and her crew of transhuman beauties.

And yeah – them Bidenoids are getting CRISPR and CRISPRER.

Let’s start with CRISPR-based vaccines.

LINK: https://www.statnews.com/2019/02/19/crispr-might-work-when-vaccines-fail/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/8QtlZ

If you see CRISPR or CRISPR-Cas9 (explanatory infographic below) cited anywhere NEAR a vaccine, then you are talking actual, straight-up, genetic modificationGENMOD – and anybody who is denying that is LYING. (Yes, sabotaged CRISPR-Cas9 can be used for gene BLOCKING – see later.)

CRISPR – and any other future tools like it – are used to splice genes. Remember that old term, “gene-splicing”, that seems to have disappeared for some reason?

Yeah – that is where we are.

If you read this article, you will see that, in early 2019, gene-splicing vaccines were NOT that far away, and were being openly tested on animals. YOU KNOW they had already been tested on humans, but – hey – you can’t say it, even though you know it’s true.

So where does Chemical & Engineering News figure into this?

C&EN was basically taken over by climate commies in the first stage of subversion of American science to the climate agenda and eventually “Demmunism”. Journalists! From there, it only got worse. As one can expect, during the Trump administration, every single issue was a protest against the Trump presidency. Worse still, during COVID insanity, cubic miles of water were carried for the COVID commies and the ChiNazis, to whom the American Chemical Society seems somehow eternally indebted, just like everybody else in science.

Scientists are such chumps.

But when Joe Biden “won”, C&EN had an orgasm, and THAT issue is a beauty.

Water-carrying in this issue includes (and I go into self-discrediting territory here to make a TIP to the right people):

  • justify top-down government control of science
  • bring back those ChiCom and other student spies
  • double-down on Earth abiotic life boot-up to distract from [COUGH]
  • COVID, COVID, COVID!
  • back-handed shill for Indian dependence on China for chemicals
  • Black Chemists Matter! (They do, but damn it, can you be less obvious?)
  • We love Joe Biden and President Harris!
  • Military must be “greener”!!!
  • VARIANTS! (But still, this is excellent reporting.)
  • MOAR COVID!
  • Pollutant cooling overstated, so GLOBAL WARMING IS BACK!!!
  • Neutral article on drug reshoring (I’m impressed!)
  • Biden HFC Treaty!
  • Biden scientific integrity guidelines ordered! (you may puke now)
  • Biden reviews everything about EPA! Hooray!
  • Massive fraudulent scientific paper bust! (Chinese authors not mentioned, of course)
  • [Black] Communities push for say in environmental regulations!
  • Will Biden and Harris outlaw common pesticide on the ropes? Please? Hooray!
  • Biden-Harris cabinet love-fest! (two page celebratory spread)
  • Tariff relief! Hooray!
  • More EPA regulations needed!
  • You can become an advocate!
  • [and the list goes on…..]

BUT HERE IS THE IMPORTANT ONE….

BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINSTRATION
BIOTECHNOLOGY

Get ready for gene-edited pigs and other animals

LINK: https://cen.acs.org/policy/Biden-and-Harris-look-to-restore-science-to-US-governance/99/i4#Get-ready-for-gene-edited-pigs-and-other-animals

This was the warning shot, right here. It was the LAST item in the “Biden-Harris Love-Fest”, but it is clearly what’s for dinner.

BIDEN-APPROVED GENE-EDITING IS COMING. That’s the message.

But what follows, interestingly, is a bit different.

What’s interesting here is that this food animal genmod stuff was being SHIFTED from FDA to USDA, and this shift was being pushed by the TRUMP administration and Sonny Perdue, against the wishes of FDA. So it may not be what it appears to be, and the TITLE here may amount to some AOC lipstick on some pork that the Bidenistas don’t actually like.

It seems to have something to do with the meat market and keeping up with other nations. Could that mean China? Complicated business. Do I trust Sonny Perdue? Yes. Do I trust Trump? Yes. Whatever they did here, I trust, but I’d love to know the deep story. Maybe Gail has some insight here.


GENTHER doesn’t make an appearance until the March issues, but DEEP LIFEMOD gets a shocker cover on the very next issue, if you know what to look for.

The message here is two layers. The ostensible top layer is pretty much like what Kary Mullis intended with PCR – in this case, “let’s use ribosomes to make stuff!” That isn’t a particularly scary message – that’s pretty much what any kind of agriculture is – we’re just taking control of it down at the ribosome to “extend things”. But the hidden message layer is just as sneaky and cunning as what they DID with Kary’s baby – to abuse it for “outcome-controllable” diagnosis and even politics, in evicting Trump.

“Retooling the ribosome” is what you do to create life that’s – well – different. Want to increase the alphabet of life? To go from the planet-portable ASCII of our current amino acids and nucleic acids to EXTENDED ASCII – and maybe even someday UNICODE? This is the key step.

We are KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. And you can’t do nothin’ about it.

That is the psychological message of this issue of C&EN.

So – even though this is nothing explicit – nothing to be worried about right now – perfect demonstration of the difference between me and Dr. Carrie Madeij on how we’re reacting to transhumanism – I still agree with her that we need to WAKE UP on these topics, where others are going with careless abandon, thanks to DOMINION voting systems and their knowingly, intentionally bad security choices.

Let’s compare the deception here to climate change.

One of the problems with what I call phony anthropolitical global warming is that “solving” it doesn’t really solve OUR immediate problem of ice ages and intermittent dangerous global cooling (the reality), but it DOES solve a future problem of long-term SOLAR warming on this planet. Whether that’s OUR problem or “somebody else’s”, it’s not a problem NOW. Thus, it seems that the problem of global warming is duplicitously framed.

Even if the deception is beneficial as in – people with billions of years of planetary experience think an ice age now is helpful against the background of eventual heat death – the societal costs of the LIES are adding up.

Likewise, I feel that the push to advance genetic modification of humans is duplicitously framed. The phony pandemic – the push to GENVAX – the denial of hydroxychloroquine – it all STINKS.

Back to C&EN.

In the March 1, 2021 issue, there is coverage of an mRNA drug company, Orna Therapeutics, being launched with an 80 million dollar war chest – which is a buck for every year of Nancy Pelosi’s life, per MTG. This venture is being spun off of MIT research.

Orna launches for circular mRNA drugs

LINK: https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/drug-discovery/Orna-Therapeutics-launches-80-million/99/i7

It is explicitly stated that this mRNA therapeutics venture is going forward because of the success of the SCAMDEMIC vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna. And who is investing in Orna? A whole bunch of drug companies, including Gilead, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Novartis.

TOLDJASO.

Big Pharma GOT RID OF TRUMP and forced a human experiment on all of humanity, while using leftist politics to force buy-in by as many people as possible. WE CAN SEE IT.

Just because they could do it, does not make it right. SHAME on them all, including the CHEERLEADERS at Chemical & Engineering News. SHAME.

Now, jump forward to the March 15, 2021 issue, and we tie this all together with CRISPR.

Gene therapy relieves pain in mice
CRISPR-based method could treat chronic pain

LINK: https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/gene-therapy/Twist-CRISPR-alters-gene-expression/99/i9

What scientists at Navega Therapeutics did here was actually very cool – they used a BAD version of CRISPR-Cas9 which doesn’t properly snip the gene for a pain receptor, but instead PARKS there and blocks it, to prevent pain in mice. They didn’t do “gene splicing” – they did “gene blocking”. They used adenoviral vectors – kinda like the Johnson+Johnson and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines – to “send in the clowns”. AND IT WORKED. As an independent pain researcher said of the whole thing, “super-exciting paper”.

This is pure research, and it’s actually very cool, and even morally acceptable to people who don’t believe in gene tampering per se but – yeah – it’s all moving forward because they know they can use it on people because of the SCAMDEMIC. The next stop on this one is NON-HUMAN PRIMATES.


Bottom line: Gene therapy is here – it’s coming to your doc soon – and you can’t stop it. Not only that – if you resist too much, they will launch a phony sociobiological event to try to MAKE you take whatever they want.

Welcome to “The Biden-Harris administration – How the new leaders aim to restore science to US governance”, as stated on the February 1, 2021 cover of Chemical & Engineering News.

It’s going to be an interesting ride, no matter what.


Conclusions

I could end on that SOUR NOTE of Branch Covidian and ChiNazi end-zone dancing at COVID-19 half-time. We could all remain AT their game, which is really IN their game. We could run out for CRISPR doughnuts and GMO Pork Sausage and come back to our socially distant seats for the Cuban National Anthem and the “accidental” wardrobe malfunctions.

Or we could get up, walk out, embrace a life which truly respects nature, the universe, and TRUTH ITSELF. We could read some books and magazines, gain awareness of what is happening, and TAKE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE DAMN STADIUM from afar. Maybe not right away, but sooner than we think.

I believe that others have gone where we are now, and sympathize with our plight. Likewise, I believe that higher powers serve THE LORD, and in doing so, will not abandon us to the Evil One.

Freedom, independence, justice and TRUTH are all worth fighting for – and we are NOT ALONE in wanting them.

No matter WHAT you think of any of this technology, or the vaccines…..

I AM WITH YOU.

If I would defend your right to SAY anything, would I not defend your right to LIVE as you wish?

COUNT ON IT.

We will bring SANITY and MORALITY back to this country, and we will do it sooner than many think.

Because He Lives . . .

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ” (Luke 24:5-7)

And with those words from the angel, the women at Jesus’ tomb found that Jesus had risen from the dead, just as He had foretold. Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 

And after about 40 days, Jesus returns to the Father where He now sits at His right hand.

That’s it? That’s the end of the story? Not hardly! This is but the the beginning.

Jesus continues to act in His very unique and singular position with respect to our salvation and justification with God, the Father.

Jesus is the he ONLY way to Heaven.
John 14:6 – I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus was the blood sacrifice that reconciled our sin and our sin nature with our Holy God.

Jesus is the ONLY Mediator between God and men.
1 Timothy 2:5 – For there is one God and ONE Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. (Hebrews 9:15)

Jesus is the ONLY name given for Salvation.
Acts 4:12 – Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20)

Jesus is the ONLY advocate for us.
1 John 2:1 – My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Jesus has already satisfied the demands of justice, so God accepts His Son’s advocacy on our behalf as part of their divine agreement, established before the world began.

Jesus is the ONLY Intercessor in heaven.
Romans 8:34 – Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
The promise of Christ’s intercession belongs to all for whom He died. All those who have found forgiveness in Him have the assurance of His intercession. 

Jesus intercedes for us in Heaven

Speaking of Jesus, the writer to the Hebrews says, “Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25). This verse (and others like it) tells us that although Christ’s work to secure the salvation of the elect was completed on the cross, as evidenced by His cry “It is finished!” (John 19:30), His care for His redeemed children will never be finished.

Jesus did not go to heaven after His earthly ministry and “take a break” from His role as eternal Shepherd to His people. “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (Romans 5:10, emphasis added). If when humble, despised, dying, and dead, He had the power to accomplish so great a work as reconciling us to God, how much more may we expect that He will be able to keep us now that He is a living, exalted, and triumphant Redeemer, raised to life and interceding on our behalf before the throne (Romans 8:34). Clearly, Jesus is still very active on our behalf in heaven.

After Jesus ascended to heaven and was seated at the right hand of God the Father (Acts 1:9; Colossians 3:1), He returned to the glory He had before His incarnation (John 17:5) to carry on His role of King of kings and Lord of lords—His eternal role as the second Person of the triune God. While this old earth continues to be “won” for Christ, Jesus is the Advocate for Christians, meaning He is our great Defender. This is the intercessory role He currently fulfills for those who are His (1 John 2:1). Jesus is always pleading our case before the Father, like a defense lawyer on our behalf.

Jesus is interceding for us while Satan (whose name means “accuser”) is accusing us day and night, pointing out our sins and frailties before God, just as he did with Job (Job 1:6-12). But the accusations fall upon deaf ears in heaven, because Jesus’ work on the cross paid our sin debt in full; therefore, God always sees in His children the perfect righteousness of Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross, His righteousness (perfect holiness) was imputed to us, while our sin was imputed to Him at His death. This is the great exchange Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 5:21. That took away forever our sinful state before God, so God can accept us as blameless before Him.

Finally, it is important to understand that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. No one else – no one – has the power to intercede for us before the throne of the Almighty. Christ alone is the God-man, and He mediates and intercedes between God and man. “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).


Savior, Redeemer, Mediator, Intercessor, Advocate, and finally, Righteous Judge – all this from the One Who loved us so much that He gave His life for our sins . . . to reconcile us with His and our Holy Father in Heaven.

Now, as God’s adopted sons and daughters in Christ, can we wholeheartedly . . .

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Hallelujah!

Maranatha!


Christ Arose

Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus, my Savior,
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus, my Lord!

Vainly they watch His bed,
Jesus, my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus, my Lord!

Death cannot keep his Prey,
Jesus, my Savior;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus, my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

  • Robert Lowry 1874

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.”

2021·04·03 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

His Fraudulency

Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, we haven’t heard much from the person who should have been declared the victor, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.

One can hope that all is not as it seems.

I’d love to feast on that crow.

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical 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. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: 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. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

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

Spot Prices.

Kitco Ask. Last week:

Gold $1734.30
Silver $25.13
Platinum $1192.00
Palladium $2748.00
Rhodium $25,000.00

This week–markets closed 3PM Thursday for Good Friday (or April Fools, depending)

Gold $1731.80
Silver $25.01
Platinum $1216.00
Palladium $2736.00
Rhodium $26,800.00

What I am seeing here is precious metals trading within a pretty well defined range. Gold has dropped down into the 1680s twice but then immediately bounced up. Which implies (to some) that it might be prepping to go up again. Silver seems to be in the doldrums right now; I don’t know whether it’s going up or down (does anyone really ever know about these things?) and won’t even hazard a guess.

Note: Last week’s gold and platinum prices are almost identical to the prices from five weeks ago! Five weeks ago:

Gold $1735.60
Silver $26.80
Platinum $1191.00
Palladium $2379.00
Rhodium $26,000.00

Iridium: The Smoke From The Smoking Gun

4.567 billion years ago, our solar system began to “condense” from the nebula. Clumps of dust particles began to come together, part of a poorly-understood process that eventually led to the planets. The nebula had a potpourri of “stuff” in it. Mostly elements up to iron, with a heavy leavening of ones after iron, created in supernovas or even neutron star collisions. (Most gold is believed to have come out of neutron star collisions…next time you admire that gold coin or your wedding band…think about where that stuff has been! Any of it not from a collision got blasted out of a supernova at 70,000,000 miles per hour.)

Very large bodies, moon sized and larger certainly, would heat up as they formed, from the potential energy of infalling stuff, and also from the fact that this dust had a lot of radioactive stuff in it. Many isotopes with very short half lives, like aluminum 26, were common then; we have no trouble seeing their traces in meteorites today. But back then they were a source of intense heat. Even today, much of the heat of the earth’s interior comes from radioactive decay of uranium, thorium, and even potassium (which has one fairly uncommon radioactive isotope).

Those large bodies became molten, and the heavy stuff sank towards the center. Iron was quite common in the nebula, and iron is heavier than the sorts of things that became typical rocks, and so we today have planets with iron cores.

A lot of good stuff went down into the core with the iron, including gold, the platinum group metals, and silver. Some gold hung around with the lighter slag since gold likes quartz. That resulted in gold being relatively more common than the PGMs in the earth’s crust.

But a lot of things in the solar nebula got big, but not big enough to melt. They became asteroids, and they are relatively rich in PGMs as compared with the earth’s crust. (If we can ever start mining those suckers…PGM prices will go down, and gold will go down somewhat…remember it’s relatively common in the earth’s crust, but that means it won’t become as common, proportionately to where it is today, when we go after asteroids.)

So one sure-fire sign of a meteorite is extra PGMs.

There was once an asteroid the size of Mount Everest. It probably hung out in the asteroid belt for about 4.5 billion years; in fact, it hung out, wherever it hung out, for almost exactly 4.5 billion years.

Then something happened to alter its orbit. And then, sometime after that, perhaps within a million years, it chanced to encounter Earth.

It plunged through the atmosphere–which rapidly raised its surface temperature. Then it slammed into the ocean, at a point just off the coast of what we today know as the Mexican State of Yucatan. The rocks it hit were the worst possible thing it could find…sulfur-rich gypsum, calcium sulfate. The meteorite vaporized in an instant. And so did a lot of that gypsum.

The tsunami in the Gulf probably reached as far inland as Illinois.

The sky was filled with sulfur trioxide, which became sulfuric acid and rained out over the next few days. And the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth was cut, both by the sulfuric crud and just ordinary dust ejected into the stratosphere by the impact, putting another challenge on plant life. Which is at the root of the food chain. Fewer plants, fewer herbivores, fewer herbivores, fewer carnivores.

There’s good reason to believe life was already under stress from massive volcanic eruptions in what is now the Deccan traps, in India. This was just exactly what wasn’t needed for icing on the cake. (Alternatively, the Deccan eruptions may have been triggered by the impact. Yes, even though they were almost on the other side of the world!)

75 percent of species died out, including almost all of the dinosaurs. Some of the ones that had taken to the air and had feathers and warm blood survived the next five years of darkness. And of course many of those little mammals survived too.

Thus ended the Cretaceous Period and the Mesozoic Era (which included the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous).

The Cretaceous Period had lasted some 80 million years–note, longer than everything since. If you were to go back in time halfway to the beginning of the Cretaceous, you’d be in the Cretaceous.

65.6 million years later, give or take 300,000 years, a couple of geologists were investigating exposed rock near Raton, New Mexico (less than two hours away from me). They knew from fossil evidence that this little thin white stripe in the rock separated Cretaceous from Paleogene (which used to be called the “Tertiary”). Below the line, many kinds of dinosaurs were alive when the rock was deposited. Above it, only the birds.

I’m not 100% positive that this picture is from Raton, but it’s pretty much what it looks like there.

They analyzed the white stripe. It had 100 times as much iridium as the rock above and below it. Still not a lot (a hundred times almost, almost nothing is still almost nothing), but it was the smoke that showed the smoking gun was an asteroid.

An asteroid almost certainly killed the big “Jurassic Park” dinosaurs.

Many have read this story and come away thinking the asteroid was made out of iridium. No, no more than the gun found at the crime scene is made out of fingerprint oil. Iridium was along for the ride, but the sulfur the asteroid found at its destination probably did as much as anything to kill almost every large animal on earth.

So what is this “iridium” anyway? It’s element #77, with 77 protons in the nucleus, tucked in between osmium and platinum. It was discovered alongside osmium in 1803/4 by Smithson Tennant, a story I told last week. It’s almost as dense–the difference is so small you wouldn’t be able to perceive it. And it’s another one of those bothersome high-melting point elements…six hundred kelvins below osmium but still 2400K. But it does not form iridium tetroxide and kill people. In fact, it may be the most chemically inert metal known, the noblest metal. It is not attacked even by aqua regia, a mixture of acids that will make short work of gold.

What I didn’t mention last week was that iridium tended to be the major impurity in those Russian platinum coins. It could be detected while processing the platinum, because at one point during that processing, some of the aqueous solutions would be orange or even red if any iridium were present, rather than yellow. And indeed when analyzed today iridium and iron are the major impurities in those coins.

Today, iridium can be rendered a solid, with some work. This video is well worth watching! Osmium is rarely made into big solid objects. Iridium, on the other hand…

The professor mentioned the price of iridium. It’s now running six thousand dollars an ounce. Back in early December it was $1700, before that it was fairly stable, the ten year chart shows a few years of $1000/oz and even $600/oz iridium, before it blooped up to $1500 in 2018, slowly rose to $1700, and then went bananas. http://www.dailymetalprice.com/metalpricecharts.php?c=ir&u=oz&d=2400

And now for a link to the story of a man who had two kilograms of iridium powder, and decided to go get it melted. Some of you expressed interest in just how it works with these super-high-melting elements; there’s detail here for you.

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

Whoever ends up in the cell next to his, tell him I said “Hi.”

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

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Joe Biden Didn’t Win

乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!

It has been FINISHED.

For many people, perhaps most, Good Friday brings thoughts of Jesus’ physical suffering . . . being scourged to the point of where your internal organs may be visible through your flesh, having large spikes driven through your hands and feet, and then fighting in agony for every breath until death, while hanging from a cross. 

The willingness to subject other humans to this method of execution must be the epitome of the evil cruelty inherent in mankind.  For the Romans to carry out this crucifixion after finding no guilt in Jesus, even at the urging of a Jewish mob, speaks to that same cruelty.

I won’t view “The Passion of the Christ”, as I don’t want to experience the visual reality of that horror.  I suspect many others feel the same way, too.

So, why am I bringing up this issue in this manner?

As insanity inducing as the horror of a scourging followed by a crucifixion is, I don’t believe they represent what gave Jesus His greatest agony at Golgotha.

At the crucifixion, the only record we have of Jesus exclaiming something in agony is when He cried out in a load voice “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”  What would have caused this?

I believe that since Jesus’ purpose was to become the one-time sacrifice for our sin, this moment was when the sin of humanity, past, present and future, was laid on Jesus’ head.  Since God can’t abide sin, He, the Father, took His presence away from His Son for the first time in eternity.

That’s what caused this agonized outburst, far greater suffering for Jesus than the physical pain involved.

My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?

“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46, KJV). This cry is a fulfillment of Psalm 22:1, one of many parallels between that psalm and the specific events of the crucifixion.

In what sense Jesus was “forsaken” by God? It is certain that God approved His work. It is certain that Jesus was innocent. He had done nothing to forfeit the favor of God. As God’s own Son—holy, harmless, undefiled, and obedient—God still loved Him. In none of these senses could God have forsaken Him.

The prophet Isaiah says this about the Messiah: “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:4–5).

Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). He was made a sin-offering, and He died in our place, on our account, that He might bring us near to God.

It was this, doubtless, that intensified His sufferings and part of why Jesus said, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It was the manifestation of God’s hatred of sin, in some unexplained way, that Jesus experienced in that terrible hour. The suffering He endured was due to us, and it is that suffering by which we can be saved from eternal death.

In those awful moments, as evil men were allowed to do whatever they wanted to Jesus, our Lord expressed His feelings of abandonment. God placed the sins of the world on His Son, and Jesus for a time felt the desolation of being unconscious of His Father’s presence. It was at this time that “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

It has been paid in full . . . It is finished.

Of the last words of Christ on the cross, none is more important or more poignant than, “It is finished.” Found only in the Gospel of John, the Greek word translated “it is finished” is tetelestai, an accounting term that means “paid in full.” When Jesus uttered those words, He was declaring the debt owed to His Father was wiped away completely and forever. Not that Jesus wiped away any debt that He owed to the Father; rather, Jesus eliminated the debt owed by mankind—the debt of sin.

Just prior to His arrest by the Romans, Jesus prayed, asking the Father to glorify Him, just as Jesus had glorified the Father on earth, having “finished the work you have given me to do” (John 17:4). The work Jesus was sent to do was to “seek and save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10), to provide atonement for the sins of all who would ever believe in Him (Romans 3:23-25), and to reconcile sinful men to a holy God. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19). None other but God in the flesh could accomplish such a task.

Also completed was the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies, symbols, and foreshadowings of the coming Messiah. From Genesis to Malachi, there are over 300 specific prophecies detailing the coming of the Anointed One, all fulfilled by Jesus. From the “seed” who would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15), to the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, to the prediction of the “messenger” of the Lord (John the Baptist) who would “prepare the way” for the Messiah, all prophecies of Jesus’ life, ministry, and death were fulfilled and finished at the cross.

Although the redemption of mankind is the most important finished task, many other things were finished at the cross. The sufferings Jesus endured while on the earth, and especially in His last hours, were at last over. God’s will for Jesus was accomplished in His perfect obedience to the Father (John 5:30; 6:38). Most importantly, the power of sin and Satan was finished. No longer would mankind have to suffer the “flaming arrows of the evil one” (Ephesians 6:16). By raising the “shield of faith” in the One who completed the work of redemption and salvation, we can, by faith, live as new creations in Christ. Jesus’ finished work on the cross was the beginning of new life for all who were once “dead in trespasses and sins” but who are now made “alive with Christ” (Ephesians 2:1, 5).

Hanging on the cross, Jesus suffered bitter agony and darkness while covered in our guilt, sin, and shame. When the act of purchasing our redemption was complete, nothing more was needed. Everything Jesus had come to do on earth was now finished. The Scriptures were fulfilled. Christ’s work was done, the battle was over, the victory was won. All that God had purposed and all the prophets had foretold was complete, and Jesus surrendered Himself to death.

Through Christ’s substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross, the Lamb of God paid our debt and took away our sin. Our ransom complete, Jesus, with a resounding voice, wanted all people to hear these words—words that still ring strong today:

It is finished!

Yes. It is finished. And as one who is more than a conqueror through Jesus, “I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:38-39


At the Cross

Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?

Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—
And bathed in its own blood—
While the firm mark of wrath divine,
His Soul in anguish stood.

Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give my self away
’Tis all that I can do.

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

Isaac Watts (1707)

Dear KAG: 2021-04-02 The Light at the End of the Tunnel: Good Friday

Wolf’s Pub is open on this best of Fridays. Today the pub is dry but let us gather together, share a morsel of bread, and speak of momentous events.
“What is truth?” a man once asked Christ Jesus, just before he condemned him to death.

That is a question that has echoed down the ages, and today seems more important than ever. The election of Donald John Trump to the Presidency of the United States in 2016 set in motion a revealing of truth—that we are living in a contrived reality.

Every organized institution has failed us. Our governments routinely lie to us as they lead us on to ever more coercive state control. Our politicians are corrupt and compromised, loyal to the System and not their oaths.

The medical establishment has become so ideologically driven that Dr. Tony Fauci, director of NIAID, easily lies to the American public as he sells us out to the pharmaceutical companies and even more malign actors.

Academia is bloated and depraved. They poison the minds of our students beginning in Kindergarten all the way through university with fundamental lies about biological science, among many other things.

Our clergy is often driven by ties to government and NGOs, rather than the truths of revealed religion. Let me digress for a moment and share a story that is well known, but bears repeating:

“…I heard John MacArthur share one time about a church in England. And they had over the archway going into the church, ”We preach Christ crucified.” (1 Cor. 1:23) And that was the motto of their church, outside, they had ivy growing up the wall. And then, as the years went by and the ivy grew, and things changed in the church, the ivy covered up ”crucified.” And then it’s just ”We preach Christ.” And he quit preaching the crucifixion, and then they just started preaching the life and the example of Jesus. And as the years went by, and the church moved more and more to the left and more and more liberal, then the ivy grew up and it just said, ”We preach.” And it wasn’t about Jesus anymore. It was just about loving your neighbor and being a good person. And then, as the years went by, the ivy grew and it just became, ”We.” And they met, and it was just all about us. It’s all about we. It’s all about me. That can easily happen.”

End of digression

The revelation of all the lies has rocked the foundation of our society. Is anything we read or hear true? Just how bad are the lies? Can we trust anything or anyone at this point? Maybe we really are watching a film. Is our whole existence a controlled show?

It feels like we are standing on the edge of an abyss. Despair beckons.

In 1972’s edition of “How to Read a Book,” Mortimer J. Adler wrote:

“…the very media we have mentioned are so designed to make thinking seem unnecessary…The packaging of intellectual positions and views is one of the most active enterprises of some of the best minds of our day. The viewer of television, the listener to radio, the reader of magazines, is presented with a whole complex of elements–all the way from ingenious rhetoric to carefully selected data and statistics–to make it easy for him to ‘make up his own mind’ with the minimum of difficulty and effort. But the packaging is often done so effectively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a cassette into a cassette player. He then pushes a button and ‘plays back’ the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so. He has performed acceptably without having had to think.”

From the 1972 edition. From a book originally published in 1940.

Back to Good Friday

Before he died, Jesus spoke of His followers to the Father:

“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” (John 17:14-19)

But then Good Friday arrives. The day when the living Truth died for all mankind and changed everything. “He was crucified, died, and was buried…”

We have the Truth.

And next He comes as a Judge.

And justice will be done.

The evil one and his earthly minions will be overcome. Jesus told His followers, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

I am so grateful for Good Friday. We need Christ crucified.

House Rules

Sometimes, when Christendom celebrates the holiest of days on the liturgical calendar, things surface to be cleansed away. Let us pray that we spend this day in peace and civility with one another, as is the Rule here.

The Utree is provided by Wolf for more ordinary things, and also for a place to gather should this site ever become unavailable. Thank you, Wolf, for all you do.

War Room

Do take the time to listen to the War Room this week. Each episode includes more and more information about the lies we’ve been fed regarding the China Virus, now dubbed the Fauci Virus. LOL. Peter Navarro is openly suggesting collusion between Dr. Fauci and the Wuhan lab that includes accusations of a gain-of-function mechanism in the China virus.

And President Trump came out swinging.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a blessing.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on War Room Pandemic.

More here. Lots of videos from WRP on Rumble.

We are at another turning point in history. God has it all. And He shares with His people.

Praying for patriots everywhere. God bless and keep them and make His face to shine upon them.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Dear KAG: 20210401 Daily Open Thread

It’s a hard thing to accept when family and friends will not emerge from the echo chamber of Project Mockingbird. All of us are there with family and friends in this whole scamdemic and faux “presidency.” So many are falling for the lies, and not accepting the reality of adverse effects without “news” sources they trust telling them that it is happening.

We who actually frequent alternative news sites…yeah, to them, we’re nuts.

Note to the XVII team, President Trump, etc., END THIS PLEASE.

And then there was this.

https://twitter.com/NikkiMcR/status/1377044643133730818

Thank Heaven for Peter Navarro. Somebody has to say it. If it’s him, all the better. But, still….

And don’t forget what the media entertainment complex trained the public to think about those who follow the conspiracies.

With that in mind…..

1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-26

23For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here – lurkers and members – as well as our families, are welcome.
