It would be really nice to take a day off of the clot shots, but the government won’t let us.
What’s the play when our health care system collapses because of terminations & walk-offs? Seriously: WHAT are hospitals going to do in your opinion? They have to have a Plan B. I’m at a loss to determine what that’s going to look like. UN staff? Waiting in the wings?
They want you DIVIDED. DIVIDED by RACE. DIVIDED by RELIGION. DIVIDED by CULTURE. DIVIDED by CLASS. DIVIDED by POLITICAL AFFILIATION. DIVIDED YOU ARE WEAK. TOGETHER YOU ARE STRONG. WE, THE PEOPLE. WWG1WGA! Q
We’re dividing all right, and it’s pitting family and friends against each other.
That’s the bottom line. There’s a war on for our minds. We need to stand firm against it.
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
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 some mood music:
Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.
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. 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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

9Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed; 13on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Wherein we explain – at three different levels of scientific and political understanding – how ADE-mediated vaccine slavery works.
This post is to PREPARE YOU to watch what the other side is doing RIGHT NOW, so you can spot the deceptions. Right now they are DESPERATELY trying to make a FAILING PLAN work.
Their plan was designed to make you COMPLY with communism.
To prepare you to counter them – to CATCH them – to spot the con job – I am going to explain things at 3 levels of understanding.
The first level is designed for people with common sense, but not too much knowledge of science or politics. Likewise, it’s good for people without much time. It’s TL;DR. What is vaccine slavery and how does it work?
The second level is for people who are savvy to current events, and get the basics of science, but are not interested in getting any deeper in the weeds than “watching a Sherlock Holmes movie”. This is vaccine slavery at a high level. This is very basic arguments about the case theory and why it makes sense.
The third level is for those who not only have common sense, but are skilled in making common-sense observations and predictions about science and politics, and who hold enlightened opinions, and are thus likely to find their own proofs or disproofs of what I will be discussing. This gets down in the weeds – particularly Fauci and Walensky’s most recent “artful dodges”, where they are trying to keep their plan going when the wheels are clearly falling off.
Here we go!
1. Vaccine Slavery – The TL;DR+ Version
The above meme says it all. That’s the “TL;DR” version. It’s all you really need to know, to begin to have a LIFE-SAVING SUSPICION. It shows the “bad vaccine addiction loop” at the core of the problem.
If you’re in a real rush, you can go. Otherwise, a little more might help. What follows is “TL;DR+”.
If you took the COVID vaccine, and are now shocked and disappointed to learn that you can catch the disease, and you’re going WHAT THE HELL, then this is the information that could save your life. You need to SERIOUSLY think about NOT getting the booster. If you’ve had enough lies by now, we may be able to save you. If you think “maybe I should be getting off this train”, listen up. We, the real resistance, can get you out of the boxcar.
You need to know about something called ADE. It stands for antibody-dependent enhancement – as in enhancement OF THE DISEASE. There is a video below (wait for it) that will explain it to you.
An “ADE” vaccine is one that creates reasonable protection from the current version of the virus, but when the immunity wanes AND/OR the virus mutates, it actually makes the disease WORSE than if the patient had simply never gotten the vaccine.
An ADE vaccine is a BAD vaccine. It’s even worse than a non-working vaccine.
Unnamed government officials told NBC news something which vaccine scientist Robert Malone spotted immediately as evidence that the current COVID vaccines are causing ADE. Other whistleblowers and sources have since confirmed that information, according to Malone.
In a normal world, we would be STOPPING vaccination, and then going back to the drawing board on these vaccines. But that is not happening.
WHY NOT?
Fauci keeps saying MORE ANTIBODIES. MORE ANTIBODIES. MORE ANTIBODIES. Boosters! Boosters! Boosters!
Why?
One of the ways that an ADE vaccine does its bad thing, is that the vaccine-produced antibodies which FOUGHT the virus the first time, now HELP the virus, because the virus has evolved, and the mutants that were HELPED by the old antibodies WON.
This is precisely how an ADE vaccine drives evolution of the mutants to become dangerous specifically to the vaccinated.
Please read that last sentence again. This is VERY MUCH like bacterial resistance, only perhaps a bit worse. Now, read this equivalent sentence.
TAKING the bad ADE vaccine is what CREATES the mutants that attack the vaccinated. The only way to win, is not to play the game.
Don’t believe me? Watch this video. Ten minutes that could SAVE YOUR LIFE.
“If the data are consistent with ADE, we have to stop the vaccine campaign.”
This is totally analogous to air-dropping crates of weapons to weak moderate Syrians, and ISIS gets the weapons and becomes stronger. A BAD PLAN is worse than NO PLAN AT ALL.
But it is NOT “worse” for somebody who WANTS the bad thing to happen.
Remember. OBAMA CREATED ISIS ON PURPOSE.
This is why the Obama-commies feign stupidity, but deliver calculated evil, and get away with it – time and time and time again.
Obama PRETENDED to fight ISIS, but made ISIS worse. This is EXACTLY analogous. The Democrats PRETEND to fight COVID-19, but they are in fact trying to make it WORSE. FOR YOU. The vaccine-takers.
Why would they do this? Why would the communist Democrats and their globalist and communist friends do this?
Let’s ask John Podesta’s friend, Bill Ivey, who had this comment on Trump’s popularity.
Is there a way to assure compliance?
Yes, there is.
Consider this scenario.
Take a cold virus, that normally does not kill people, except the very old, very weak, and very frail.
Make it new and “catchy” using gain of function.
Make sure it’s a coronavirus, notorious for vaccines failing due to ADE.
Release it, and create a phony crisis using the idiot media and LIES.
Make a vaccine that is likely to exhibit ADE.
Give people the vaccine, which works until the virus mutates.
Force the vaccine on as many people as possible using lies, mandates, coercion, and tricks on influencers.
When the vaccine fails on the new variant, tell people they need a booster which creates EVEN MORE antibodies for the NEW VARIANT.
Don’t tell people that these very same MORE GOOD antibodies will become MORE BAD antibodies in a matter of months, for the NEXT VARIANT.
Don’t tell people that EACH BOOSTER increases the danger from ADE if they catch the disease.
Rinse and repeat, until people cannot quit the vaccines without dying.
The authorities can now kill you by simply not giving you the next vaccine in time.
You are DEPENDENT for your very LIFE on the government, and you had better COMPLY WITH IT – OR ELSE.
Your vaccine passport FLIPS from merely being proof of vaccination that allows you into society, to a kind of license to live. It is now your social credit card for PERMISSION TO LIVE. It’s Nazi papers with the power of life or death.
The trick is that it’s not just the disease killing you – it’s the combination of the disease and your own antibodies.
The vaccine is biological fentanyl that lets you keep working and producing, SLAVE.
The cure literally IS the disease.
That’s it. The vaccines become an ADDICTION TO TEMPORARY IMMUNITY WITH DEADLY WITHDRAWAL. If you don’t get the vaccine, and you catch the next variant, you will be ambushed by all of your other antibodies to all the other variants.
You take the vaccine, each time, you live, but you are WINDING UP YOUR DEATH LIKE A CLOCK.
And you don’t really KNOW if you’ll live or die, so the FEAR motivates you to stay on the good side of the authorities who can end your life if you don’t get the vaccine.
And worse than that, we have no idea if the whole scheme will catch up to you by the 5th or 6th booster. It may not even be possible to survive the ‘rona after a certain number of injections, because the trail of inappropriate antibodies from prior injections may make ANY new variant deadly.
Based on what Cuomo did to seniors in nursing homes, how can you trust these people?
We have already seen, that the commies will deny you FOOD and SERVICES if you don’t wear a mask, or don’t get a vaccine. The point is, at some point this flips.
If you don’t do what they want, you don’t get the vaccine, and you die.
That’s how the game works.
It’s my belief that the best way out is not to take the third shot. Catch the disease, treat it as much as you can, get strong natural immunity, and EXIT the ADE RIDE TO HELL.
Next, we look more broadly at vaccine slavery.
2. Vaccine Slavery – Compliance as the End That Justifies Their Means
Once you understand the ENDPOINT – control and compliance – you can see that everything they are doing leads there.
I know this sounds rather fantastic, but once you see how VACCINE SLAVERY works, and realize that certain people have actively pushed humanity down many WRONG paths that just happen to get us there, you will – like me – be unable to “unsee” it.
Communism and a way to ENFORCE COMPLIANCE were a match made in HELL.
Not everybody needed to be conscious of it – that’s not how conspiracies actually work. Conspiracies work by multiple, if not MAXIMAL levels of deception, each layer of “guilty dupes” doing their part, often reinforced by self-deception, but always reinforced by self-interest.
Let’s back up a bit. Maybe back to Sherlock Holmes. ForGodandCountry dropped this yesterday, and even in the perfect context. It’s just TOO perfect. I simply had to share the significance.
Let’s just put that into text so that EVERYBODY can see it.
“In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically…Let me see if I can make it clearer. Most people, if you describe a train of events to them, will tell you what the result would be. They can put those events together in their minds, and argue from them that something will come to pass. There are few people, however, who, if you told them a result, would be able to evolve from their own inner consciousness what the steps were which led up to that result. This power is what I mean when I talk of reasoning backwards, or analytically.”
Sherlock Holmes Quote
-A Study in Scarlet
-Chapter 7 – Conclusion
Now I’m not saying that I’m Sherlock Holmes, or even that this site is Sherlock Holmes. But I will say that WE THE PEOPLE are pretty darn close.
By all of us reasoning together, we approach a Holmesian ability to unveil and unearth.
So let me do a bit of explanation of what WE THE PEOPLE have found.
Let’s start out with a goal – communism with complete control over the individual. LIFE OR DEATH control. So people simply have to go along. So that freedom is no longer a RIGHT, but a GRANTED PRIVILEGE.
Not in REALITY, but “in practice”.
Communists have used every weapon in the past to gain control over individuals. They’ve used FOOD. They’ve used CHILDREN. If those evil “oxygen thieves” could use oxygen, they would. They’ve tried carbon dioxide as practice for that one, it would seem.
But the point is, what they really need is ENDPOINT CONTROL on the INDIVIDUAL. A way that INDIVIDUALS can be made to live or die at communist whim, and then be forced to COMPLY TO LIVE, or SIMPLY DIE OTHERWISE.
Frank Herbert saw this and used it for his example of ultimate tyranny in DUNE. Note that TWO METHODS are demonstrated here. The vulnerability of the HEART PLUG, and the enslavement of POISON AND ANTIDOTE.
This is nothing new – it’s just higher technology applied to an old crime – extortion.
It’s still the STONE-AGE LOGIC of a new chief threatening the children of the old chief he just killed, unless the widows of the old chief provide him what he wants. It’s ANIMAL CRUELTY, but one step above ANIMAL MURDER, where the new leader of the pack simply KILLS THE CUBS of the old leader first, and THEN forces the females into submission.
And OH YES – people do that, too. History is filled with such examples.
The trouble is, none of this is elegant. It’s sloppy. It’s messy. It’s CRUDE.
But what if there was a really elegant way of TRAPPING humanity – at the individual level – in a never-ending cycle of control?
This is where ADE – antibody-dependent enhancement (of disease) – is not actually a PROBLEM for communists. It’s a wicked and elegant tool of control and compliance.
Viewed another way, problematic vaccines are only a problem for US – not for THEM.
I first began thinking about this when some anon revealed that our vaccination strategy might be leading us into a situation analogous to Marek’s disease in chickens.
This sounded fantastic when I first heard about this theory, but things actually seem to be bearing it out.
In the third section of this post, I will get into showing you the evidence that certain people – including Fauci and Walensky – have been and still are pushing us, conning us, threatening us, scaring us, and cajoling us into vaccine slavery.
First, I simply want to explain how vaccine slavery works, as a kind of case theory. From there, you can see just how well we are tracking toward it, by pushing vaccines that fulfill the agenda.
What is Needed for Vaccine Slavery?
At its most basic, for vaccine slavery to work, there needs to be an endemic disease which kills people, and a vaccine which cures it TEMPORARILY, which can be meted out judiciously by the authorities, to gain compliance by the masses, or if desired, withheld from individuals, groups, nations, or all of the above. Withholding the vaccine allows people to be threatened, or if non-compliance continues, to be eliminated.
If the TECHNOLOGY of the temporary vaccine is sufficiently advanced that average people and groups – even smaller nations – cannot make the vaccine, then this demonstrates WHY vaccine slavery is so much more efficient than food slavery. People can grow food. They can work with nature. They cannot be “de-wilded” if they still maintain those connections.
The trouble is, introduction of such a REAL disease and withholding of the vaccine is quite obvious, and quite obviously evil. The people of the world would be outraged.
In the DUNE world, people in a free area simply have their threatening heart plug REMOVED. In a free world, people either get the temporary vaccine as a basic human right, and maybe even get a CURING vaccine that ends the threat. AND – in the process – communism (or whatever tried to enslave them) is completely discredited.
So if you’re a communist, that’s not good. How do you FIX that?
One way is to follow what NATURE does, and have the disease EVOLVE – either naturally or artificially. If the disease keeps CHANGING, then defenses against it have to change, too. And if the AUTHORITIES are the ones who dispense the needed changes in the defenses – in the vaccines – then THEY retain control of the situation.
I don’t have to posit whether nature, man, or BOTH are changing the virus. THAT is immaterial. One simply needs a changing virus, which viruses all do, to varying extents, and which they can now be coaxed to do at ANY desired rate of speed, thanks to molecular biology, which can CREATE mutations willy-nilly by machine.
So let’s say that we have a changing virus which kills people at some rate.
If that death rate is too high, nature takes care of it, and the virus dies out quickly. Not just that – the virus will naturally attenuate its virulence, to survive. People will gain natural immunity when they do survive. And people will pay lots of attention to it. They will know if the vaccines are working or not, and will DEMAND working vaccines.
It’s not a very good slavery. This is smallpox. We just beat that into submission. The vaccines for smallpox are excellent, easy and fast. They last for a lifetime. New vaccines for new variants of smallpox would be easy, but in reality, one vaccine would likely cure ALL the smallpox variants.
BOO-HOO, say the communists. Not a very good model at all, to create slavery.
In fact, this failed example – trying to enslave with smallpox variants – shows us that SNEAKING IN vaccine slavery is very desirable. A FAKE pandemic is better than a REAL one, to sneak in vaccine slavery.
On the other end, what if the death rate is too low – like most influenzas? Same thing. it’s not a threat. Catch it, survive it, forget it. Catch it AGAIN, survive, forget.
But HERE is where the commies hit PAY DIRT.
What about a NON-FLU of the same sort? What about a coronavirus? These things are NOT slow evolvers like smallpox, and they’re not rapid evolvers like influenza.
The fact is, however, that their lethality is simply not threatening. Again, catch it, survive it, forget it.
Influenza-like illnesses are no better for vaccine slavery than influenza itself.
HOWEVER, there is a CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE.
ADE.
Antibody-dependent enhancement.
The vaccines not only don’t work on the next variant – they produce antibodies which actually become a liability toward that next variant.
BOOM! THAT is the key. THAT is where we move the lethality from the disease to the “cure”. It becomes a misdirection – a magic trick. A deception.
A human ability to ESCALATE THE EXTORTION.
It doesn’t matter where the next variant comes from – nature – China – or even pencilneck in saucers over Chile dumping some crap into the atmosphere.
In a sense, it’s ALL NATURE.
Yeah. “Green New Deal”.
The TRICK isn’t the disease. The TRICK is the VACCINE.
THIS is why you don’t push ADE vaccines. THEY MAKE THINGS WORSE.
Bad is bad, but worse is worse.
Sometimes you have to TRY and then DISCOVER “worse”, but it was WORTH A TRY.
But as Trump said…..
“The cure can’t be worse than the disease.”
We knew there was a problem with ADE. WE KNEW.
Read this, knowing that “immune enhancement” = ADE.
So what do we do now?
Thankfully, the failover – the fallback – from these failed ADE vaccines, is not that bad.
NATURAL IMMUNITY. The “Swedish vaccine”.
Left to their own devices – thanks to OUR WONDERFUL NATURAL IMMUNITY MECHANISMS – humanity and COVID-19 will simply learn to coexist, just like humanity did with the last 4 weak beta coronaviruses that became endemic in humans, thousands of years ago.
There are even some surprisingly effective treatments – hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, Regeneron, molnupiravir (remdesivir has been proven conclusively to be useless, sadly).
BUT COMMUNISM LOVES TO MAKE THINGS WORSE.
This is where we run into problems. Crisis is opportunity, so communists CREATE crises.
Let’s look at what they did, and are doing.
Let’s get down in the weeds.
3. Vaccine Slavery – The Antibody Pushers
I’ve been watching and waiting. I KNEW that the “Faucists” would have to react to Dr. Malone’s diagnosis of ADE in some way.
Malone noted that they were pushing the boosters. That was his first hint. Then he learned about the blood titers, and the CDC misleading on nasal titers, when BLOOD TITERS would have the evidence of ADE – and DID have the evidence of ADE.
So what did CDC do?
CDC is now spinning the vaccine ADE dangers as a kind of time-based need for boosters.
They are saying that EARLY vaccine recipients are in need of boosters.
But the WAY they’re saying it, contains a technical admission of ADE, without actually saying it’s ADE. It’s one of the slickest “escape clauses” I’ve ever seen.
Did you catch the subtle wording? “Severe disease?” “Increased risk?” How severe? And relative to WHAT?
Could it be…..
…..increased risk of MORE SEVERE DISEASE relative to those who did not vaccinate?
In other words…… ADE?
Indeed, it makes me wonder if she could have just DROPPED the “early” part.
Is there…. eventually…. an increased risk of severe disease among those who vaccinated…. PERIOD?
Let me put this in very simple terms. The CDC is STARTING to tell the truth. But they’re doing it in a way that will both “save face” and continue upon the same dangerous course they’ve been going.
They want to vaccinate everybody with vaccines that produce more and more “soon-to be dangerous antibodies”.
Why would anybody do that?
It’s an interesting question. Watch THIS GREAT VIDEO to see that something is VERY, VERY WRONG.
People are starting to see it now. Something is VERY, VERY, WRONG.
And they did this most recent “call to inappropriate vaccination while half-admitting ADE” under the cover of Afghanistan falling apart.
Afghanistan is designed to get the Bidenoids out of TWO problems. The AUDITS and the VACCINES.
I want to go back to the beginning of the story on ADE. Gail Combs has been reminding us since the VERY beginning of the COVID release by CHINA, that ADE was a RISK for ANY coronavirus and ANY coronavirus vaccine.
Fauci and Walensky and Gates NEVER talk about ADE. WHY NOT?
Listen to it ONCE AGAIN. Every word of Malone’s talk here is GOLD.
The Vaccine Causes The Virus To Be More Dangerous
“If the data are consistent with ADE, we have to stop the vaccine campaign.”
And it gets worse. Even WITHOUT the point about ADE, non-sterilizing jabs are just BAD. This is OLD SCHOOL VACCINE KNOWLEDGE, which we are reminded of, by Karl Denninger.
It was ridiculously and grossly negligent entering into the territory of depraved indifference to mass-vaccinate the population with non-sterilizing jabs. We knew very early on that eradicating Covid-19 was impossible; there are animal reservoirs, specifically felines (of all sorts), ferrets and likely others (now believed to include deer.) We have never eradicated rabies and never will for this reason; as long as there are animal reservoirs you cannot eradicate a virus as it always has a host and a means of transmission outside of human control.
As such there was never, and will never be, a safe means to use non-sterilizing vaccines against this virus or any other coronavirus and the more jabs we deliver and attempt to compel the use of the worse the problem will get.
At this point, I just have to say, don’t do it. Now that we KNOW, you should NOT get the jab.
“It is not just your duty to yourself to refuse the anthrocide jabs – it is your duty to your fellow humans.” -Wolf Moon
Now – let’s drill down on this just a bit.
ADE is a problem with coronaviruses IN GENERAL, and SARS-CoV-1 is no exception.
The problem is, if you don’t know the exact nature of the next variant, almost NO amelioration is guaranteed to actually save you from a “close but sufficiently changed mutant”. Indeed, it could do the OPPOSITE. Variants which turn the CRISIS of one vaccine into the OPPORTUNITY of the next virus are the WINNERS. The NEXT variant will turn your plans against the LAST variant against YOU.
Are you starting to see, that it’s almost like the Democrats in CDC want to make the problem WORSE?
I mean, it just seems that way. They just hope that your attention span is shorter than that of a mutating virus.
Back to Deninger.
What is potentially worse is that there is a developing body of evidence that those who previously had Covid and then get vaccinated may destroy their “N” protein recognition by doing so, ruining their previous nearly-perfect immunity. That we did not specifically prove that this did not happen before giving these shots to anyone with prior infection is outrageous. While the data on this is quite thin at present that there is a higher breakthrough rate in persons with prior infection than those who were infected but did not get vaccinated is what the data currently shows, which strongly implies that vaccination after infection actually screws you.
Did you get that? The JABS very likely HARM natural immunity. THAT is a huge indictment.
Several scientists have criticized Fauci and Pfizer for vaccinating their “disease controls” who got immunity naturally – thereby DESTROYING CRITICAL DATA.
Are you starting to see? They don’t WANT to know the truth. They want to spend OUR money on THEIR vaccines to which THEY own patents.
Fauci and Gallo helped the industry corrupt public medicine by introducing PATENT-LAUNDERED MONEY.
NOW – let’s get back to this latest “midnight drop” from Fauci and Walensky.
First of all, who exactly ARE the “early vaccine recipients” to whom they want to give boosters?
They’re health care workers and first responders. Including COPS.
So what does that mean, strategically, if they get the “Jab of No Return”?
These are INFLUENCERS and ENFORCERS.
They are the people who will force the jabs on US. And they will do so with more vigor, if THEY are permanently committed to the deadly boosters.
Trust me – this influence operation was PLANNED.
What the CDC politicians are doing is subtle, but it’s definitely optimal in terms of not merely potentially wiping out America’s health care workers and first responders, but of making them the propagandists, the bureaucrats, and the enforcers of vaccine mandates.
Do you see how that works?
THIS IS A DEVIOUS PLAN.
Now – let’s get into some science.
If you play the YouTube video of Fauci and Walensky and their shill, plus the hand-picked journalist audience that you cannot see, including two-stepper ChiCom diaperette Weijia Jiang (the whole thing is totally North Korean in its creepy vibe), you will hear Fauci mention 4 scientific papers. I will talk about them, but the big picture is Fauci’s TOTAL and SOLE focus on antibody levels.
Watch for it.
What Fauci is doing here is a core principle of magic acts. It’s key to many a magician’s trick.
Fauci is making you WATCH one thing, so that you don’t watch something else.
Fauci keeps the focus on antibodies, and NEVER takes it off. There are two reasons. ONE is that the antibodies are the greatest WEAKNESS of the plot. THE SECOND is that if you ONLY look at the antibodies, and don’t look at other things like virus titers, T cells, side effects, and natural immunity for reference, you’ll never see that the antibodies ARE the great weakness, and you will never see the plot.
It’s like going up an escalator that dumps you into a shark tank when it gets to the top. Don’t look down at the shark tank! Don’t look at the crowd yelling “NO!” Just look at the escalator in front of you. We’re going up! Hooray!
Fauci says “keep your eyes on the brick” (the antibodies) so that we ignore the WINDOW it is going through (ADE, and the next variant).
There is a stunning moment, if you watch for it, when Fauci and Walensky visibly react, when a scientifically savvy journalist asks their front-and-center “scientist protection shill” (a.k.a. “moderator”) about T cells.
It’s like somebody pulled a bloody knife out of a paper bag. Those two SQUIRM in their seats.
It’s not so much that the T cells provide an obvious “AHA!” moment that undoes the Fauci plot. T cells are hard to understand – they’re not simple like “more antibodies!” But they lead away from Fauci’s pied piper deception.
T cells undo the Fauci narrative that it’s “all about the antibodies”. We know it’s not. From the moments in early 2020 when doctors found that many COVID recoverees were losing antibodies within 3 or 4 months of recovering, yet remained solidly immune, we KNEW from basic logic that immunity was not so simple as MOAR ANTIBODIES!
Many subsequent papers in top journals by leading researchers proved that COVID recoveree immunity was mediated through multiple measurable pathways, and was SOLID, even if varied. And YES – that is how complex evolved systems work.
But Fauci concentrates on the ONE THING – antibodies – because that is the ONE THING that these NIH-co-owned vaccines do well. They do a lot of other CRAP that would get most vaccines recalled and shut down immediately. But they do ONE THING WELL. They make antibodies that apparently – from what we know – are not necessary for good immunity.
And those antibodies – like those in recoverees – don’t last.
Think about that. NOW you can understand why Fauci gets nervous about “T cells”.
At this point, it’s useful to remember something.
Fauci shilled hard for remdesivir – calling it the “gold standard” – when it turned out to be utterly USELESS.
I saw the very same data that Fauci based his statement upon.
As one scientist said in comments, remdesivir only seemed good at causing kidney failure in the people it was tested in.
Gold standard? It was nothing of the kind. It wasn’t even the LEAD STANDARD. I saw the HCQ data – THAT was clear. Remdesivir wasn’t even CLOSE. At that moment, I knew Kary Mullis was right. Fauci can look you in the eye and LIE.
Now – let’s go on to Fauci’s slides.
What I’m going to do is show each of his slides and comment. You can go back in the YouTube video and see what Fauci has to say. He also talks about several of the slides in answering questions from the journalists.
You will note that EVERY SINGLE ONE of those points SKIRTS the issue of ADE. Every single one.
These 4 points are made by his 4 slides, so I will place my comments AFTER each slide, but you can come back to the above slide to review his basic point in clear language.
First slide.
Yes. Antibodies decline over time. Just like in recoverees. Yet the immunity from these vaccines is only from a near-copy of the highly evolving spike protein, NOT from the whole virus. It would easy to press Fauci on this point, and trust me, he would evade, and not give credit to natural immunity as superior, nor would he deviate from antibodies as his sole focus.
Second slide.
This is again a bit of a “selective basic truth”. Of course, more antibodies are associated with higher levels of vaccine efficacy. But they are not the ONLY correlate with vaccine “efficacy”. And even more, this.
If you follow this paper – a pre-print – and look for how it defines “efficacy”, you are directed to ANOTHER preprint (ref. 39) which is not even medical – it’s mathematical. BOTH preprints are filled with disclaimers about what they don’t do, and don’t cover, in defining efficacy. That’s actually important, because the authors are being very careful not to say they’re covering all the bases on what constitutes efficacy.
I referred to these earlier as “flywheel references”. They may be good work, but Fauci uses them in a misleading way. He is trying to pump the idea that you need antibodies to be immune, and that is absolutely NOT TRUE.
This is real slight of hand and BALLSY chutzpah. Fauci is actually showing how the OLD VACCINE (mRNA-1273, see HERE – designed against original Wuhan sequence WA1) performs against WA1 (aka D614G) and the “delta” variant. He is showing that the antibodies don’t work as well against delta variant.
Remember – this is basically part of the “mutation-driven ADE” phenomenon. And Fauci is using it to justify going to higher levels of antibodies on the boosters. But he’s careful – very careful – he says that higher levels of antibodies MAY be needed against the delta variant.
What Fauci is NOT showing here, is how these same antibodies which have reduced BINDING to delta, are now driving HIGHER virus titers – what Malone spotted as the hallmark of ADE.
Fauci does lots of talking about ANTIBODY titers and not much about VIRUS titers. It’s a nice form of linguistic cover-up.
Here, Fauci goes hog wild on titers. Again – ANTIBODY titers. (UGH – my spell checker wants the English spelling – titres. See y’all at the theatre!)
If you check the link below, you will see that the above results are for the ORIGINAL Moderna vaccine, but the reference also contains results for a VARIANT-encoding vaccine, AND for a 1:1 mixture of the two different spike proteins.
As expected, the variant spike performs better against that variant, and the original vaccine is best against the original variant.
The most important point is the dramatic increase in relevant (meaning actually binding) antibody levels – over 10 times the pre-booster levels. What Fauci is doing is showing that yes – another full spike protein booster will give higher antibody levels. Way higher. And again, we ask the impertinent question – whether these antibodies will be problematic due to ADE.
There is absolutely NOTHING said by Fauci about the safety of boosters, even though there IS data in the link above that may be useful in making some predictions. However, the study is small, and based on prior experience, we won’t see the risks of the boosters until they’re deployed. We can safely assume that if the “safety” is comparable to what we have already been given, Fauci and FDA will call the boosters safe.
It is important to understand that we now know that it is often the second injection which interacts BADLY with immunity from the prior injection, even though FDA does not admit this.
See this video from Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, in which he explains the immunology of that risk in subsequent immunizations. He – like me – strongly recommends AGAINST getting the second or higher boosters. This is particularly true if you have ANY problems with the FIRST vaccination.
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).

[The following applies even more so, as our current Bidenazi administration is literally hell-bent on destroying our rights, our liberty, our justice, our faith, and either disabling or brainwashing our citizens.]
In our fast-paced, attention-grabbing world, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, get distracted, and lose sight of our true purpose in life—the worship and love of God (see Matthew 22:37). Yet we’re told to run our race with our eyes focused on Christ: “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Hebrews 12:1–2). How can we resist the allure of the world and keep our focus where it belongs, on Christ?
To focus is to direct one’s attention or concentrate on something. If we are focused on Christ, then He has our attention; we are concentrating on Him and His word; He occupies the forefront of our minds. Such a focus is only fitting, because Jesus “is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy” (Colossians 1:18). By rights, He should be our focus.
Colossians 3:1–4 contains much that can help us stay focused on Christ: “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” We are to focus on “things above,” remembering that Christ is seated in the place of glory and power (verse 1). The reason for the command is also given: because we have been raised to new life with Christ. To focus on the things above, we must consciously remove our focus from “earthly things” (verse 2), and the reason is given: we have died to self, and Christ is our very life (verse 3). Helping us stay focused on Christ is the reminder that Jesus is coming again, and when we see Him we will know glory (verse 4).
Hebrews 2 lists some of the things that Christ has done or is doing for us: He shared our humanity (verse 14), He breaks the power of the devil (verse 14), He frees us (verse 15), He is our “merciful and faithful high priest” (verse 17), He suffered for us (verse 18), and He helps those who are tempted in this world (verse 18). Because of all this, Hebrews 3:1, says, “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.”
Here are some practical ways for a born-again believer to stay focused on Christ:
Commit to reading the Bible. It is impossible for a believer to be consistently in the Word without having his attention drawn again and again to Christ: “The Scriptures point to me!” Jesus said (John 5:39, NLT; see also Luke 24:44 and Hebrews 10:7). To focus on the Word of God is to have the Son of God brought more into focus.
Develop your prayer life. If you want to know how to pray, read Jesus’ instructions to His disciples in Luke 11:1–13. As you speak to the Lord throughout your day, you will naturally be more focused on Him. Little things, big things—we can come to the Lord with any and all of our cares. The command is to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), to always be in an attitude and atmosphere of instant prayer.
Trust the Lord as your only protector: “My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare” (Psalm 25:15). Once we understand the spiritual dangers we face on a daily basis, we will focus more on Christ, our one and only Savior, who alone has the power of deliverance.
Recognize your need and the Lord as the source of all good things: “Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us” (Psalm 123:2, ESV). The world offers various means of obtaining love, joy, and peace, but they are destined to disappoint. The believer understands that love, joy, and peace (and a myriad other fine gifts) are the direct result of his relationship with Christ (see Galatians 5:22–23).
See the world for what it is: a sin-filled place of desperate need. The darker the world is to us, the more clearly the light of Christ will stand out. It’s not hard to focus on a light in a darkened room. “We . . . have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19). Those who stay focused on Christ will find their perspective on worldly things changing. As Helen Lemmel says in her hymn, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, / Look full in His wonderful face, / And the things of earth will grow strangely dim / In the light of His glory and grace.”
In John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, Christian and Faithful go through Vanity Fair, where they are offered “all sorts of vanity.” Christian’s and Faithful’s response is instructive for us: “These pilgrims set very light by all their wares—they cared not so much as to look upon them; and if they called upon them to buy, they would put their fingers in their ears, and cry, ‘Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,’ and look upwards, signifying that their trade and traffic was in heaven” (Part I, p. 86). May we, like the pilgrims in Vanity Town, practice the heavenward-look and keep our eyes focused on Christ, His glory, and His love.
Isaiah 25:4 – “You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall.”
Psalm 46:1-2 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”
A Shelter in the Time of Storm
The Lord’s our rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm; Secure whatever ill betide, A shelter in the time of storm. Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.
A shade by day, defense by night, A shelter in the time of storm; No fears alarm, no fears affright, A shelter in the time of storm Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.
The raging storms may round us beat, A shelter in the time of storm; We’ll never leave our safe retreat, A shelter in the time of storm. Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.
O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, A shelter in the time of storm; Be Thou our helper ever near, A shelter in the time of storm. Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on the burning sand, Faithful guide for the pilgrim band- A shelter in the time of storm.
Vernon J. Charlesworth – 1880
REMEMBER . . .
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7)
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.”
THE SWAMP RUNS DEEP. Sometimes you cannot tell people the truth. You must show them. Only then, at the PRECIPICE, will people find the will to change [to participate]. We, the People, have been betrayed for a very long time. WILL YOU STAND? FOR GOD AND COUNTRY. FOR FREEDOM. FOR HUMANITY. WHERE WE GO ONE WE GO ALL !!! Q
Given the events of the week, both real and invented narratives, it’s a good time for a rally.
For those feeling the weight of the world given what we are seeing and hearing, here’s a reminder that we are America.
America really needs to save herself. We need a leader to remind us how.
Hopefully, the boss will lower some sort of boom tonight.
51 hours until President Trump's Save America Rally in Cullman Alabama. Already about 20 people camped out and waiting. #SaveAmericapic.twitter.com/5CAuzInS6C
Before European settlement, the area that today includes Cullman was originally in the territory of the Cherokee Nation. The region was traversed by a trail known as the Black Warrior’s Path, which led from the Tennessee River near the present location of Florence, Alabama, to a point on the Black Warrior River south of Cullman. This trail figured significantly in Cherokee history, and it featured prominently in the American Indian Wars prior to the establishment of the state of Alabama and the relocation of several American Indian tribes, including the Creek people westward along the Trail of Tears. During the Creek War in 1813, General Andrew Jackson of the U.S. Army dispatched a contingent of troops down the trail, one of which included the frontiersman Davy Crockett.[5]
In the 1820s and the 1830s, two toll roads were built linking the Tennessee Valley to present-day Birmingham. In 1822, Abraham Stout was given a charter by the Alabama Legislature to open and turnpike a road beginning from Gandy’s Cove in Morgan County to the ghost town of Baltimore on the Mulberry Fork near Colony. The road passed near present-day Vinemont through Cullman, Good Hope, and down the current Interstate 65 corridor to the Mulberry Fork. The road was later extended to Elyton (Birmingham) in 1827. It then became known as Stout’s Road. Mace Thomas Payne Brindley was given a charter in 1833 to turnpike two roads, one running between Blount Springs to Somerville by way of his homestead in present-day Simcoe, and the second road passing west of Hanceville and east of Downtown Cullman to join Stout’s Road north of the city. What later became the Brindley Turnpike became an extension of Stout’s Road to Decatur. Cullman later became located between the juncture of the two roads, and they predated the corridor of U.S. Route 31.
During the Civil War, the future location of Cullman was the site of the minor Battle of Day’s Gap. On April 30, 1863, Union forces under the command of Colonel Abel Streight won a victory over forces under Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. This battle was part of a campaign and chase known collectively as Streight’s Raid. Although Streight got the upper hand in this battle, Forrest would have the last laugh. In one of the more humorous moments of the war, Streight sought a truce and negotiations with Forrest in present-day Cherokee County near present-day Gaylesville. Although Streight’s force was larger than Forrest’s, while the two were negotiating, Forrest had his troops march repeatedly in a circuitous route past the site of the talks. Thinking himself to be badly outnumbered, Streight surrendered to Forrest.[6]Colonel John G. Cullmann, founder of Cullman (1823–1895)
Cullman itself was founded in 1873 by Colonel John G. Cullmann, a German immigrant.[7] Cullmann had been an advocate of democratic reforms in his native Bavaria, having fought and acquired his honorific title “Colonel” during the Revolutions of 1848–49. After the failure of the revolution, Cullmann found himself in financial ruin. In the years to follow, he would try to re-establish himself in business, but after several setbacks, including a great financial loss in the First Schleswig War, he would remain unsuccessful. As time went on and Prussia, under King Wilhelm I and his Minister President Otto von Bismarck, began to exert more influence in the German region (eventually unifying Germany under Prussian rule in 1871), Cullmann began to believe that his political ideals were fundamentally incompatible with those of the German Government. As a result, he decided to emigrate from his homeland. Settling first in London due to fears that he would be forced to join in the ongoing American Civil War, Cullman eventually came to America in 1865. He moved to Alabama in 1871 and, in 1873, negotiated an agreement to act as agent for a tract of land 349,000 acres (1,410 km2) in size, owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, on which he established a colony for German immigrants.[8][9]
Five German families moved to the area in March 1873; in 1874, the town was incorporated and named after Colonel Cullmann (with the town name being Americanized to ‘Cullman’ with one ‘n’). Over the next 20 years, Cullmann encouraged around 100,000 Germans to immigrate to the United States, with many settling in the Cullman area. Cullmann drew on his military engineering training in laying out and planning the town. During this period, Cullman underwent considerable growth. German continued to be widely spoken, and Cullmann himself was the publisher of a German-language newspaper. When Cullmann died in 1895, at the age of 72, his funeral was marked by the attendance of Governor William C. Oates.[8] The site Cullmann selected for his headquarters is now his gravesite.
German immigrants also founded St. Bernard’s Monastery, on the grounds of which is the Ave Maria Grotto, containing 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It is Cullman’s principal tourist attraction.[10]
During the 1890s, and still to this day, Cullman was reported to be a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to live.[11][12][13] The Ku Klux Klan would maintain a presence in the county throughout the civil rights movement, erecting signs that deterred African Americans from being within the county at night. This subsequently led to a rise in population of Colony, Alabama which was a safe haven for the discriminated.
For many years Cullman was a college town, with Saint Bernard College serving as the home of several hundred students. In the mid-1970s, St. Bernard briefly merged with Sacred Heart College (a two-year Benedictine women’s college), to become Southern Benedictine College. That college closed in 1979, and it now operates as St. Bernard Preparatory School. The former site of Sacred Heart College is now the Sacred Heart Monastery, which serves as a retreat center operated by the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery.[14]
During the 20th century, Cullman developed a more diverse economy, including several manufacturing and distribution facilities. The City of Cullman regularly ranks as a top ‘micropolitan’ city in the nation.[15]
Cullman gained national attention in early 2008, when a special election was held to fill a vacancy in the Alabama House of Representatives. The district that included Cullman elected James C. Fields, an African-American, in that special election.[16]
Cullman’s German heritage was repressed during World War I and World War II, while the United States was fighting Germany. This was reversed in the 1970s, with renewed interest in the city’s history and heritage. Today, Cullman holds an annual Oktoberfest.[17] An honorary “Bürgermeister” is elected for each Oktoberfest. For many years the Oktoberfest did not include alcohol because Cullman was dry, but starting in 2011 the Oktoberfest was able to offer beer.[18]2011 tornado damage
Downtown was significantly damaged by an EF4 tornado during the 2011 Super Outbreak. Hitting on April 27, it destroyed many buildings in downtown and in an east-side residential area, but causing no fatalities. The twister moved northeast towards Arab and Guntersville, killing two Cullman County residents and at least four others.[19] Cullman has since rebuilt and revitalized the downtown area. New zoning laws and alcohol ordinances have allowed for greater expansion and growth in the downtown Cullman area.[15]
Over the past four years, President Donald Trump’s administration delivered for Americans of all backgrounds like never before. Save America is about building on those accomplishments, supporting the brave conservatives who will define the future of the America First Movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country. Save America is also about ensuring that we always keep America First, in our foreign and domestic policy. We take pride in our country, we teach the truth about our history, we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions, and of course, we respect our great American Flag.
We are committed to defending innocent life and to upholding the Judeo-Christian values of our founding.
We believe in the promise of the Declaration of Independence, that we are all made EQUAL by our Creator, and that must all be TREATED equal under the law.
We know that our rights do not come from government, they come from God, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. That includes the right to religious liberty and the right to Keep and Bear Arms.
We believe in rebuilding our previously depleted military and ending the endless wars our failed politicians of the past got us into for decades.
We embrace free thought, we welcome robust debate, and we are not afraid to stand up to the oppressive dictates of political correctness.
We know that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard of our freedoms, and we affirm that the Constitution means exactly what it says AS WRITTEN.
We support fair trade, low taxes, and fewer job-killing regulations, and we know that America must always have the most powerful military on the face of the Earth.
We believe in Law and Order, and we believe that the men and women of law enforcement are HEROES who deserve our absolute support.
We believe in FREE SPEECH and Fair Elections. We must ensure fair, honest, transparent, and secure elections going forward – where every LEGAL VOTE counts.
Plans at this time are that I will be away from the keyboard when the rally happens, so please keep the thread lively. I’ll put some links here for better viewing as the day goes on and they become available.
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.

Gold has actually moved around a bit, but the end result was a tiny gain over the week. Silver has dropped significantly (about 3 percent by eyeball). Platinum was well under a thousand yesterday, and has recovered…some. Palladium is down over ten percent. And Rhodium is getting its ass kicked; it dropped 1900 dollars on Friday alone.
From Special to General
Introduction
Let us start off by recapping our list of “as of 1894” mysteries and conservation laws, and bring things up to date including the Bohr atom and the work done on justifying the periodic table (much of which happened well beyond 1913). Otherwise, we’re at about 1913 now.
Let’s recap/update those lists.
Conservation of mass
Conservation of momentum
Conservation of energy
Conservation of electric charge
Conservation of angular momentum
(ADD:) Conservation of mass-energy
The following mysteries were unanswered at the end of 1894.
Why was the long axis of Mercury’s orbit precessing more than expected, by 43 arcseconds every century? Was it, indeed, a planet even closer to the sun? If so, it’d have been nice to actually see it.
Why was Michelson unable to measure any difference in speed of light despite the fact we, being on planet Earth that is orbiting the sun, had to be moving through the medium in which it propagates?
What makes the sun (and other stars) shine (beyond the obvious “they shine because they’re hot” answer). What keeps the sun hot, what energy is it harnessing?
How did the solar system form? Any answer to this must account for how the planets, only a tiny fraction of the mass of the solar system, ended up with the vast majority of the angular momentum in the system.
What is the electrical “fluid” that moves around when there is an electric current, and that somehow seems imbalanced when we perceive that an object has a charge? Were there both negative and positive fluids, or just one fluid that had a natural neutral level; below it was negative (deficit), above it was positive (excess)?
Why are there so many different kinds of atoms? How did electrical charges relate to chemistry? How is it that 94 thousand coulombs of charge are needed to bust apart certain molecules (though it often had to be delivered at different voltages depending on the molecule)?
Why were the atomic weights almost always a multiple of hydrogen’s? Why was it never quite a perfect multiple? Why was it sometimes nowhere near to being a multiple?
Why does the photoelectric effect work the way it does, where it depends on the frequency of the light hitting the object, not the intensity?
Why does black body radiation have a “hump” in its frequency graph?
In just 20 years we had come a long way. Out of nine mysteries, only three were completely left open, and another was mostly solved. And even mystery number 3 had tantalizing hints.
More Developments in Special Relativity
A few weeks ago–actually the last time I used this particular eagle–I described the four Big Papers Einstein published in 1905. Two of them had to do with what today we call “Special Relativity.”
What made it “special”? Did it ride the short bus to school?
What made it special was that it only applied to a very specific case, the case where the frames of reference are not accelerating. Constant speed, even high speed, isn’t an issue, but if there’s any sort of acceleration, it’s a different ball game.
General relativity doesn’t have this restriction. Special relativity turns out to be a special case of general relativity.
1915 was the year Einstein first put forward general relativity, which means that historically speaking, with the last article taking us up to that about then dealing with subatomic physics, this is the right time to take up general relativity.
But there had been some developments in special relativity in the meantime. Einstein hadn’t really thought about relativity from a geometric point of view, but many others, including his former math professor Hermann Minkowski, did. They pointed out that if you simply consider time as being a fourth dimension, a lot of things fell into place.
This does make some sense. After all, if you and I agree to meet at the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade on the 14th floor of the Holly Sugar Building (which isn’t called that any more), we’ve specified a meeting place in three dimensions…latitude, longitude (the streets run north/south east/west in that part of town), and elevation (14th floor). Or coordinates…a triplet of them…can be used to define any location in space once you’ve defined the coordinate system (and it doesn’t even have to be a cubical grid either; cylindrical or spherical coordinates can work). You need three coordinates, though, because space is three dimensional. You can get by with two if you implicitly specify the third (in this case, surface level could be assumed; that’s probably a good idea when dealing with ships).
But if you and I arrange a meeting place in this manner, we’re committing a Bidenesque screwup: Because we also need to specify a time. So really, you need four coordinates, three space coordinates x, y, and z, and a time coordinate, t.
When you specify all four, you’ve defined what physicists call an event. And you’re doing it in terms of spacetime.
And so, it turns out that special relativity fits well with the concept of spacetime and works in four dimensions. This was pointed out by Minkowski.
But there was a difference! And it becomes most manifest when considering interval. The interval is the distance between two events.
If you are using a “Cartesian” (cubic grid) coordinate system, the difference between two points in space is an extension of Pythagoras. In two dimensions, on a Cartesian grid, the distance between two points is simply the difference between their x-coordinates, squared, plus the difference between their y coordinates, squared, then take the square root of all that.
It’s precisely equivalent to a2+b2=c2. (And note, it doesn’t make any difference whether you subtract point 1 from point 2, or vice versa. Sure, you will get opposite signs depending on the order, but those get wiped out when you square the differences.)
To move up to three dimensions, you can square the two dimensional distance again, then square the difference in the third coordinate. But when you do that, it’s algebraically equivalent to just squaring all three differences, adding them together, then taking the square root:
First there’s one issue to clear out of the way: time is measured in seconds and distance is measured in meters; by simply taking a difference in time and jumbling it in with three differences in meters, you are mixing apples and roadcones.
It turns out that with spacetime, a distance of d = ct is equivalent to a duration of t. In other words a one second time difference is equivalent to a distance of 299,792,458 meters. So when doing this computation, if you divide your space distances by the speed of light, you get units of seconds, and now the four “pieces” of the equation all match units. You’ll have to multiply the result by c again to get back to meters.
So let’s imagine two events at the same x and y, but with z differing by 299,792.458 meters, and t differing by one second. Dividing all of the space coordinates by c, you get the x and y differences = 0, the z difference being 1 second, and of course the t difference is 1 second.
Incidentally a difference is often denoted by Δ, the Greek letter delta, so we can say Δx=0, Δy=0, Δz=1, and Δt=1. It’s a lot more convenient, and amongst techie types “delta” is often slang for “change” or “difference.” (“What’s the delta in the cost of gas switching from the orange guy with the mean tweets to His Fraudulency?” for instance.)
So square everything and get 0, 0, 1, 1, add them together to get 2, take the square root, and the interval is 1.414 seconds, or about 424 million meters, right?
Well, no. The BIG difference is that with space time you subtract the space components from the time component!
Note that the time difference is first and all the space differences are subtracted from it.
So in this case the interval is zero seconds; the two ones cancel.
(Equivalently, you could multiply the time by c and work entirely in meters, rather than seconds…but that would have made the arithmetic ugly.)
Now there’s only one thing that can get from that first event, to that second event. The one thing that can move 299,792,458 meters in one second, and that, of course, is light in a vacuum.
But the light, in doing so, covers no interval. Which means that the light beam perceives no distance traveled and no time elapsed! But if you remember the time and distance dilation formulas from the last time we talked about special relativity, that’s what we would expect. At light speed, both effects cause the elapsed time and traveled distance (from the point of view of the light beam) to reach zero.
So what we have here is a geometric model of special relativity.
OK, let’s play another game here. Let’s make the space distance twice as much as it was before, while leaving the time distance 1. You end up with Δx=0, Δy=0, Δz=2, Δt=1.
Plugging that in, we get sqrt( 12 – 02 – 02 – 22 ) = sqrt( 1 – 4 ) = sqrt( -3 ).
Now you can’t take the square root of -3 and get a meaningful distance (or time) out of it. What the spacetime model is telling you is you cannot get from one event to the other. If you could, it would be by traveling faster than the speed of light. So the spacetime model has built into it a rationale for not being able to exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
Einstein didn’t use this in 1905, but he adopted it shortly thereafter. (I wonder if Minkowski ever told his former student how proud he was of him.)
Minkowski invented the spacetime diagram, where the vertical axis is time, and the horizontal axis is space. Objects traveling on this diagram cannot do so at a slant of less than 45 degrees (that implies traveling faster than c), light itself moves at a 45 degree slant on the diagrams.
An interesting consequence of spacetime is that everything moves at exactly the same speed through it. You, sitting in your chair reading this are traveling through time purely, at one second every second. Move fast enough, and your motion becomes predominantly through space and you are moving slower through time. The second motion is called spacelike because most of the motion is through space, and time slows down signficantly, the first motion is called timelike not because it’d be snarky to refer to it as “sitting on your ass” but because most of the motion is along the time axis.
More Einsteinian Thought Experiments
Spacetime, it turns out, is the easiest way of dealing with general relativity. Not that it’s easy.
I actually wasn’t that far off when I talked about special relativity riding the short bus. The math involved with it is an absolute breeze compared with the math in general relativity. It’s a major event when someone is able to solve the general relativity equation for a certain specific scenario. In fact, I will be honest with you: I don’t understand the math. I never got exposed to tensors; I just have a vague idea that they’re sort of like matrices (which are a power tool in mathematics I do know something about), but not quite.
So with that, I can’t comprehend the real situation then try to explain it to you. I have to rely on the same science-for-senators handwaving that you’ve probably already seen. As such, I’ve been half-dreading writing this post.
But, it does start with Einstein’s doing thought experiments, so at least that part should be comprehensible if I am doing my job right. [Only later will you see the wild leap I can’t justify.]
The supposition this time is that if you were in a locked chamber, no way to see in or out, and were feeling earth-normal gravity, you’d be unable to distinguish it from being in a room that is being accelerated ‘upward’ at g, the acceleration due to gravity. The rules of physics would be the same; any experiment you could carry out would have the same result.
That doesn’t seem too unreasonable. If you drop your four hundred ounce gold brick on your foot in either scenario, it will hurt just as much, just as quickly.
But this does lead to differences with the conventional understanding when you deal with light.
The conventional understanding is that light has no mass, so gravity should not act on it. A beam off your laser pointer should travel in a straight line no matter how strong the gravity is.
On the other hand, if you’re in a room that’s under acceleration, it feels like gravity, there’s an obvious up and a down. But you should be able to tell the difference between an accelerating room and one experiencing gravity, because if you fire your laser pointer horizontally, and the room is accelerating, you should see the beam bend. That is because the beam of light is moving vertically at the same speed you are, but once it has left the laser pointer, it doesn’t speed up in the vertical direction, but you and the room do, so you see the beam drop.
So if the room is feeling gravity, the beam shouldn’t bend because the force of gravity on a massless object should be zero, but if the room is being accelerated, the beam should bend, because the room is moving faster than it was before, by the time the beam hits the wall.
On the left, the light source (and you) are moving at the same speed as the rocket. Middle diagram, but the rocket is speeding up, it’s pulling ahead, so you see it higher. The beam of light, though, can’t speed up in the vertical direction so it seems to trace a curve inside the rocket. Finally it hits the far wall of the rocket. From inside the rocket, the beam appears to have dropped due to gravity.
But if Einstein is right and there really is no way to tell the difference, then either both beams need to move in a straight line, or both beams need to bend. In the second case, light is affected by gravity even though it has no mass.
You need really strong gravity to see this, though. Or a long distance. Because light crosses any normal everyday distance in microseconds or even nanoseconds, and if it’s going to “drop” due to gravity, well, gravity only gets to act on it for a few billionths of a second. Plug that in to d=1/2at2 and it’s almost nothing.
OK, but there is a concrete prediction. A light beam going by a massive object, should bend a bit. This is testable with great difficulty.
Here’s another: If light is affected by gravity, light traveling upward has to lose energy, just like a thrown baseball loses kinetic energy (trading it for potential energy) and slowing down. But light cannot lose energy by slowing down, its speed in any particular medium is a constant.
It can lose energy another way, however. Remember E = hv? (Where ν is the frequency?)
So the light, climbing in a gravity field, should decrease in frequency. That’s the only way it can lose energy. Similarly, light going “downhill” should increase in frequency to gain energy.
There’s an alternative way of looking at this though. Imagine that light beam in the accelerating room, firing upward from the floor. By the time the beam reaches the ceiling, the ceiling has sped up, so there’s a doppler shift in the wavelength, towards the red. Since you can’t tell this case from a room feeling “real” gravity, in that room the light has to redshift too.
This is gravitational red shift. Visible light becomes redder as it moves uphill. Again, this effect is tiny on Earth, but it’s measurable today (I don’t think it was measurable using 1915 equipment).
Hiding inside that effect is another.
Imagine someone on the surface of earth, shining a light straight up. He blinks, and then a second later he blinks again. In the meantime, about 600 trillion wavelengths of the light are emitted.
Someone, up in space, will see the same sequence of events. Blink, 600 trillion wavelengths, then a blink. But the light is red shifted when he sees it. 600 trillion wavelengths takes more than a second to pass by him, because the frequency has dropped.
Therefore he sees it take more than a second between the two blinks. From his point of view, time is running slower down on earth than it is for him in space.
This is gravitational time dilation.
So these are concrete, comprehensible predictions to see whether an accelerating reference frame, where effects happen due to inertia, is truly the same as one with gravity (effects due to mass).
But when Einstein followed the math…it got interesting. And I’m going to have to state it without trying to justify it. Sorry. Complicated business!
Gravity, it turns out, isn’t a “force” like electromagnetism is. It turns out that any object not being accelerated by a real force (like a rocket motor), travels a straight line in space time, the shortest distance between two events. If you think it’s curving because, for instance it’s a space probe doing a “flyby” of Jupiter, it’s because spacetime is curved.
OK, now this takes time to wrap one’s brain around, and if you fail at it you’re in very good company. How does space itself actually bend? Objects bend in space, space itself, can’t bend, there’s nothing to bend.
Nevertheless it does. Not just in Einstein’s thought experiments, but in reality.
Einstein used his new concepts to compute the orbit of Mercury.
Remember there had been a long-standing mystery about Mercury. It orbits the sun in a markedly elliptical orbit, and under Newtonian two-body gravity, the long (or “major”) axis of the ellipse should never change direction. But in fact it does change direction. Some of this can be shown to be due to the other planets’ pulling on Mercury constantly. But not all. After subtracting all of that out, the major axis still shifts by 43 arc seconds every century. That’s an angle about three quarters the width of a quarter set out at a hundred yards, and it takes a century (about 400 revolutions of Mercury about the sun) for it to make that shift.
Precession of Mercury’s orbit. This is empahtically not to scale. Even 4000 orbits wouldn’t show a shift visible at this size.
People had theorized that an undiscovered planet closer to the Sun than Mercury could be perturbing Mercury’s orbit, but it would be frustratingly difficult to see such a planet so close to the Sun.
But when Einstein did the computation with his modified law of gravity, he found that an object orbiting that close to a very massive object like the sun…would see a shift of exactly this amount!
The net effect of Einstein’s new law of gravity is that near very massive objects, gravity’s effect is slightly greater than an inverse square law. Which means that at perihelion (closest approach) gravity is a bit stronger than Newton would expect. However, Kepler’s second law still applies (a line from the sun to the planet sweeping out equal areas in equal times) because it depends on the conservation of angular momentum. So this manifests itself as the elliptical orbit behaving like something out of a Spirograph set.
OK, so Einstein had made one prediction he could test himself. But to be really solid science, predicting new phenomena (rather than just being a possible explanation of a known phenomenon) would be good.
Testing General Relativity
The light bending, doppler effect, and time dilation effects were something that had not been seen before, had not been predicted by any other theory, and if seen would be otherwise unexpected; i.e., a successful prediction by this theory…three successful predictions, actually.
As it turned out, the light bending was the easiest. For this you can use a large massive body that’s between you and stuff of known position, if the position of those background objects appears shifted near the body, you have gravity (from the massive body) bending the light coming to you from the background objects.
This is a job for the Sun. As seen from earth, it moves against the background (it’s really the Earth moving), which is a known pattern of stars. We’ve got plenty of star maps taken when the sun is nowhere along the line of sight (in fact when the sun is behind the mapper, because he’s doing this at night and the sun is below his feet somewhere). So we just need to see if the stars seem shifted (away from the sun as it turns out) when the sun is on the line of sight to the stars.
Did I mention earlier the sun is bright? This makes it impossible to see stars that are almost behind it.
Except during a solar eclipse, when the moon neatly covers the sun!
There was a solar eclipse in 1919. Astronomer Arthur Eddington took photographs, not of the corona (as people usually do during eclipses) but of the stars near the Sun. The elegant mathematical reasoning of Albert Einstein was put to the test. (If you don’t find it elegant, it’s because you haven’t seen and understood the math; I haven’t understood it myself, so I’m taking other peoples’ word for it that its elegant.)
It was hard to measure accurately enough to truly nail it down, but the stars’ apparent position had indeed shifted and the measured effect was consistent with General Relativity.
This was big news. I mean, really big news. It made the newspapers read by regular people. This was when Einstein became famous outside of scientific circles.
Today, we can see entire galaxies bending the light of galaxies behind them. In fact, there’s a spectacular instance of two almost-perfectly-lined up galaxies causing the background galaxy to look like a ring, known as an Einstein Ring:
The blue arc, almost a complete ring, is a background galaxy distorted by the gravity of the yellowish orange elliptical galaxy in front of it.
The gravitational redshift took longer. For this, the ideal situation is a bright, massive, small object (small is better because the gravity is more intense, and a white dwarf, which is a sun-sized star that has run out of nuclear fuel and collapsed down to the size of the earth, is ideal. It still shines brightly because it will take millions or even billions of years to cool off, but it has a very strong gravitational field. As early as 1925, someone attempted to measure the gravitational redshift off of the star Sirius B (see my article on Sirius A and B: https://www.theqtree.com/2020/01/01/another-sirius-tale-of-two-stars/), but other scientists pointed out there was too much glare from Sirius A (which is, after all the brightest star in the nighttime sky). Finally in 1954 Popper got a good measurement off of 40 Eridani B and confirmed this prediction. It’s also possible now to measure the shift in frequency of gamma rays going up several stories here on Earth.
The gravitational time dilation can be measured by two different atomic clocks at different elevations. Eventually, the lower one will fall behind the upper one.
Most famously, the GPS constellation of satellites demonstrates both special relativity time dilation, and general relativity time dilation.
The GPS system works by having each satellite sending out time signals. Their position at any time can be computed by your GPS receiver, so it’s just a matter of comparing the signals from at least four (but even more is better), noticing the differences of the times in the signals, turning that into different distances from the satellites, then doing a lot of geometry to triangulate, and figure out where the receiver must be.
Extremely accurate time sources on the satellites are an absolute necessity. If one is off by ten nanoseconds, your position will be off by ten feet (light travels roughly a foot per nanosecond).
The satellites are moving quickly, which means a clock on that satellite will seem, from down here on earth, to be ticking more slowly due to special relativity time dilation. (Not much more slowly, but enough to be measurable with modern atomic clocks.) They are also higher so due to gravitational time dilation, our clocks should run more slowly than the GPS satellite ones. The two effects are in opposite directions, so they will tend to cancel each other out. The gravitational effect is the larger of the two, so from our standpoint the GPS clocks look like they’re running faster than they would to someone actually on one of the satellites. In fact, it will run 38 microseconds per day faster than you’d expect without either time dilation effect. That would be enough to throw position calculations off by several miles…after one day.
This effect is real, it does happen. What the GPS engineers do is slow the satellites’ clocks down to compensate. That way in orbit when they speed up (as seen by us), we see the clocks ticking off normal seconds, and so if you drive your car into the Mississippi river when trying to get to Pikes Peak, it’s not the fault of GPS.
GPS wasn’t designed for the purpose of testing general relativity, but there are a couple of rather more detailed predictions involving a phenomenon called “frame dragging” (which I am not even going to try to explain, because I want to publish this this week, not sometime in October) that have been confirmed by satellites deliberately launched to test general relativity.
General relativity has met every test thrown at it. It’s real. Spacetime bends. And objects move along the shortest possible path through spacetime.
As famously put by John Archibald Wheeler (1911-2008, a veteran of the Manhattan Project) in 2000, “Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.”
I debated whether to put a “rubber sheet” diagram in this post. They’re very problematic. Yes, you can see how an object might follow a curved path on the rubber sheet, which is supposed to be how gravity works, but the rubber sheet is itself bent by gravity pulling on an object. If you can’t ignore that, you’re going to be hung up on the fact that (demoed) “gravity” is caused by (real) gravity. I decided, ultimately, not to do it even though I could write disclaimer after disclaimer that it’s a visualization tool only, not an explanatory one. (And I believe I hear Wolf breathing a sigh of relief.)
But one doesn’t need a rubber sheet diagram to know that Joe Biden didn’t win.
And, in case you didn’t notice…we can cross mystery number one off the list. Thanks, Herr Doktor Einstein!

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

Welcome back to Wolf’s Pub! What a week. It’s a flood now. The information war is heating up on all fronts. Fascist Big Business is wrenching down on the working man/woman. YOU WILL WEAR THE MASK. YOU WILL GET VACCINATED.
The persecutions will not stop. Even if they manage to get all us masked and vaccinated (they won’t) the persecutions will continue. They enjoy it. And now we are finding out how that local store manager you know is one of Them. He enjoys the power of making you submit.
Now is the time to speak up and out. Now is the time to take your stand. Now is the time for ALL OF US to take a stand.
It’s hitting close to home now. A relative of mine was just fired today. She was fired for not wearing a face muzzle at one of Warren Buffet’s mobile home manufacturing plants.
It’s 99 degrees in that plant. No air conditioning. She tried to wear the mask, but using saws and drills in the extreme heat while also exhaling in the mask caused her safety glasses to fog up.
She couldn’t hear instructions or people speaking because of the masks, let alone the noise in the plant. It is DANGEROUS to force employees to wear a mask in an active manufacturing environment with heavy equipment and tools.
At a plant meeting earlier in the day, the management announced that all employees had to mask up again. Previously, employees who were not vaccinated had to wear a Yellow Star, I mean a Red Dot on their work helmets. The vaxxed crowd got to wear a Green Dot on their helmets. You can’t make this stuff up.
The new rules at the meeting included a policy that any new employees HAD TO BE VACCINATED, as well as all upline managers, effective immediately.
Additionally, un-vaccinated employees who contract Covid-19 would not have their sick-time covered, though vaccinated employees would be given PTO. This is out-and-out discrimination, Mr. Buffet.
Real people are being persecuted for a virus with a 99% + survival rate. Again, this ain’t about the Covid, as everyone here knows. It’s about the “Great” reset. Not so great, eh?
I was on the road recently. Back to some old haunts. Watched a demonstration of glass blowing at the Hot Shop at the Corning Museum of Glass (as in Corning, Incorporated). Although I was pleased to see that there was a sizeable amount of people unmasked, the employees were all forced to wear masks.
The gaffers (glass-blowers) were masked. By the end of the Hot Shop demonstration, the one who spoke to the audience was so out of breath that you could hear it in her voice as she literally gasped for breath. The microphone picked it all up and broadcast it for the audience. She actually had to lean against a wall to try and catch her breath. Yes, masking around ovens with temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees is DANGEROUS for the workers.
This is what these FASCIST BUSINESSES are doing to the American people. In concert with federal and some state and local governments, US businesses are forcing American citizens to participate in COVIDISM, the Official Medical Religion of the United States of America.
And, oh are they inconsistent! Was at a Tractor Supply Company in Texas and the employees are all masked. Funny that COVIDISM has a different application in upstate New York where the Tractor Supply Company employees are NOT masked.
No rhyme or reason to COVIDISM if you think it’s about safety, security, and your health. What is it really all about?
MONEY SUBMISSION CONTROL INDOCTRINATION DOMINATION SLAVERY DEPOPULATION
Nuts! People, we need to call out and name these companies. They need to feel the HEAT of their indulgence in fascism. Bad press is their nightmare.
This is war. And Big Business is proving to be traitors on the wrong side of their customers’ best interests, namely FREEDOM. We aren’t going to forget what y’all did during this time. You will have no excuse for participating in the destruction of our nation, our freedoms, and our health. It will be on you, Big Business, and not just the government and medical establishments.
Something must be done.
BUT FIRST LET US TOAST TO GLASS AND WINE
From the Corning Museum of Glass
Today’s special is Dr. Frank’s Cabernet Franc. Dr. Frank took Bordeaux grapes from the Loire Valley in France and proved that great wines can be crafted in New York. Do enjoy the patriotic fervor of Dr. Frank in this short video. Dr. Frank was a true American patriot:
The bartenders have a haul of Finger Lakes wines at the bar. Freedom and patriots abound in New York, even though that beleaguered state has been under the control of evil communists for many years. Patriots are everywhere. New York City is NOT New York State.
I raise my glass to the quiet strength of patriots everywhere. We are rising up. And we will be the victors. “It’s not what you make. It’s what you can fix.”
We can fix this.
THE PLAN
Patriots are fighting back. Let’s focus on Lin Wood’s Strike Back For Freedom. This site should be up today or very soon. According to Lin:
“We are working on the website for the Strike for Freedom. The domain is now set. It is http://StrikeBackForFreedom.com (keeps the enemy from attacking us based on a misrepresentation of the site name!). We hope to have a basic structure in place by tomorrow. We want to keep it simple. We want the content to be provided by We The People. I do not want you to feel that I am telling you what to do but rather providing a marketplace for your ideas to be conveyed to others so The People can make their own decisions. We need to be bold. As I said, courage is contagious. We need to be prepared to help others. Content provided by We The People will get us off to a good start in that direction. Stay tuned…”
Lin Wood
Lin talks about his Strike plan on this video. Go to the 10-minute mark to start. Lin is fired up! Let him get you fired up.
I have a suggestion for Lin’s new site: Advocate for employees at businesses who force their workers to wear masks and get vaccinated. Complain vociferiously to the management. Write letters to the Corporate Office. Post on their social media. Put the heat on them. And stop buying their products.
It’s time to do our part. It may cost us friends, even family relationships, jobs and comfort. But if we don’t have freedom, we have nothing.
HOUSE RULES
The nitty-gritty. Make nice to patriots. All others can take their chances (wink wink). To review the rules, go here. If someone wants to land a verbal punch, take it over to the Utree. Also a good place to reconvene if this site gets knocked out for a time.
AUDITS! AU-DITS! AUUUU-DITTTS!
The Arizona audit will be released any time! Now this is how you fix our country. Take back our elections!
I believe the audits are key to everyday Americans rising up and claiming back their power. We are the government. Our representatives work for us. They are answerable to us.
Can you imagine where we would be if it weren’t for our digital army digging and spreading truth? The communists would have already taken over the entire world.
Look where we are. We have millions of digital soldiers, collectively digging through every piece of news on a daily basis until we expose [them] all.
They can’t get away with anything anymore. Can you imagine if our digital army was in place on 9/11? They would have never been able to pull off such a massive false flag.
Whether you realize it or not, we are all making a huge difference! Never give up 🙏🏼
An alternative viewpoint on Afghanistan, and what it is all about.

One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
6And all the citizens of Shechem came together, and all Beth-millo, and they went and made Abim’elech king, by the oak of the pillar at Shechem. 7When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Ger’izim, and cried aloud and said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you. 8The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, `Reign over us.’ 9But the olive tree said to them, `Shall I leave my fatness, by which gods and men are honored, and go to sway over the trees?’ 10And the trees said to the fig tree, `Come you, and reign over us.’ 11But the fig tree said to them, `Shall I leave my sweetness and my good fruit, and go to sway over the trees?’ 12And the trees said to the vine, `Come you, and reign over us.’ 13But the vine said to them, `Shall I leave my wine which cheers gods and men, and go to sway over the trees?’ 14Then all the trees said to the bramble, `Come you, and reign over us.’ 15And the bramble said to the trees, `If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
“Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace. Peace will be the last word of history” – St. Pope John Paul II

July 6, 2021 17:07 Thanking everybody for your patience. Whether happenstance, coincidence, or enemy action, I’m dealing with some technical issues. In addition to those, and the obvious spiritual attacks, I am dealing with the obvious site stuff in what are best maintained as unobvious ways.
I suspect we struck a nerve.
A combined technical / spiritual / strategic response by all of us will prevent this attack from succeeding. Hold the line – bite the bullet – gird the loins – bite the lip – pray for guidance, discernment, and strength – whatever YOU believe keeps the ship aright for the moment. Everything else is lower priority.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

If we all cook at home, how could restaurants humiliate you? If we all have no fear, how could media manipulate you? If we all know Trump is still the real POTUS, what else the crayon government can force you? We are the one making the choice. We are the one giving them power.
SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK TO TALK ABOUT BIDEN ADDRESSING THE WORLD.
Something to remember, always.
Per the boss’s instruction:
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
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 some mood music:
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.
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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, although some of us are beginning to wonder what the threshold for true adulthood is:

11Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo’ash the Abiez’rite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid’ianites. 12And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor.” 13And Gideon said to him, “Pray, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us? And where are all his wonderful deeds which our fathers recounted to us, saying, `Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Mid’ian.” 14And the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Mid’ian; do not I send you?” 15And he said to him, “Pray, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manas’seh, and I am the least in my family.” 16And the LORD said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall smite the Mid’ianites as one man.” 17And he said to him, “If now I have found favor with thee, then show me a sign that it is thou who speakest with me. 18Do not depart from here, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring out my present, and set it before thee.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.” 19So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them. 20And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them.” And he did so. 21Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and there sprang up fire from the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight. 22Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face.” 23But the LORD said to him, “Peace be to you; do not fear, you shall not die.” 24Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it, The LORD is peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiez’rites.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
