And now for something a little different.
Keeping up with all the machinations of the other side and trying to make sense of the news which is supposed to be unlocking whatever is going on that we are not seeing is quite the chore. Thanks to someone here at the tree, the site Anonymous Conservative has become part of the daily routine in place of some of the more time consuming Telegram accounts (there are only so many hours in the day, and many irons in the fire…and then I still have to get to housework).
Daily, AC always has great links to news related to the fight as well as analysis from an intelligence community perspective on who may or may not be white hat or suspicions on who is faking it. (AC did a whole thing on Patrick Byrne probably being an intelligence asset for decades on Monday.)
Well, over the weekend, this about one of the few television series I followed after pretty much giving up the boob tube came up in a discussion about Roger Stone:
Everything in intelligence is misdirection. That is why I think it wise to watch a show like Burn Notice and ignore the campy aspect and grasp how people’s perceptions of reality can be twisted by natural assumptions that fill out just a little bad information into a completely wrong picture of reality.
There were a lot of people who tried Burn Notice on for size and either couldn’t follow it, or had some real problems with the level of violence, but it is true. The characters were constantly dealing with having to straighten out perceptions as opposed to reality. Bruce Campbell, of course, lent credibility to the whole effort. The whole series is available on YT, and as soon as I can get some stuff off my plate, I have every intention of binge watching.
That approach to the whole idea of “spying” might well explain this:
Shade has been thrown on many of these people. Are they all white hats? Is somebody in there faking it?
Someday, we might actually find out.
One of the things AC brought on Monday was information – or why there is a lack of it – on what Pope Benedict XVI has to say about his “resignation.”
A reader sent us yesterday the complete recording, made by a spectator, of a public meeting that took place in June 2016 at the Franciscan Rosetum Center in Milan . The protagonist, the most authoritative and famous of Catholic journalists, Vittorio Messori, who presented his latest book “Hypothesis on Mary”. HERE you will find the official recording of the event from which, however , the final part was cut out, with questions from the public, during which the Turinese journalist made shocking statements which are only now finding a very precise location. We make the material available to interested colleagues and in the meantime we report the exact words of Vittorio Messori:
“In September I had a private meeting with the ‘pope emeritus’, as he wanted to be called. A really strong friendship was born with Ratzinger with that book “The Ratzinger Report” (1984) that we did together. He, with his typical generosity, wanted to repay me with his friendship, so much so that, at times, we would go for dinner together in a trattoria in Trastevere. This personal relationship has continued, but since February 11, 2013 I have not come back because I wanted to respect his retirement. It was his secretary (Mons. Gaenswein ed) who phoned me saying: “His Holiness would be happy to see you again in the name of the old past, come and visit him in his retreat, howeverit is understood that His Holiness awaits you as a friend and not as a journalist. Yours will be a private meeting and therefore there will be no public things to offer ”.
“I strictly adhered to this even if, of course, as an old journalist, if I had told Corriere some of the things Ratzinger told me, well… I would have filled the news for a long time. But I did violence to myself, and no one, not even with pincers, will ever get me out of what Ratzinger really told me.
VITTORIO MESSORI CONFIRMS BENEDICT XVI HAS BEEN PLACED INCOMMUNICADO BY THE VATICAN
There’s far more to the story, and the whole truth is being suppressed, and not just because there is one journalist out there with a sense of ethics.
Another point of interest is that Peter Navarro is not cooperating with the Special Congressional Committee on COVID.
Alright, what’s in the kitty….
I'm just a mom w/ a bioengineering degree and a background in medical research. I don't have credentials and I've always had respect for those with more degrees.

It's been profoundly disturbing to watch highly educated people fall for and parrot straight up propaganda.
Ain’t that the truth.
At least the girls are pushing back. Someone needs to.
Twelve years later and the left still doesn’t get it.
Me too.
This is what happens when you hold the line:

Fact checkers created in effort to reinforce propaganda [digestion]?
The battle to prevent truth from reaching the people.
The battle to maintain and push division.
Divided you are weak.
Divided you fight each other.
Divided you pose no threat.
System of control.
Information warfare.
Q
Let me repeat the meat of the matter:
DIVIDED YOU ARE WEAK.
DIVIDED YOU FIGHT EACH OTHER.
DIVIDED YOU POSE NO THREAT.
Please, be on the lookout for attempts to divide, and resist the temptation to become a tool for the other side.
Just a reminder.
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.”

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. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

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.

MATTHEW 21:28-32
28“What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, `Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29And he answered, `I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. 30And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, `I go, sir,’ but did not go. 31Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.
And just a quickie that I saw recently, and thought would appropriate. From the first chapter of the Epistle of St. James:
[2] My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations; [3] Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. [4] And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. [5] But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

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.
>>148156518
Amen brother.
Q
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
