Two weeks to flatten the curve….
Two years later:
Yes, it’s SD from OT, but he reports what is being missed:
With the Sea Island professionally Republican convention completed we now enter that time in Republican politics where the people who assembled for the gathering begin to seed the next election narrative. The timing is not coincidental, yet few people pay attention, that’s where we come in.
The backstory on last week’s Sea Island meeting IS HERE. We all know these people, though sometimes we can be distracted by their Machiavellian schemes and manipulations. Exactly on cue, the Associated Press steps up to deliver the advanced revelations of the quiet discussion:
(VIA AP) – Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.
More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.
Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when “Never Trump” operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.
Please visit OT for the rest of the piece.
It looks like the good little globalists are going to give it a shot: staying in power.
This is not something new in America. In the 1960s, such machinations were noticed by a prelate. This quote is part of the answer. When the globalists make their moves, it is almost always in the mode of leaving God out of the equation.
[Archbishop Fulton] Sheen said, “Patriotism is a virtue that was allied to the old virtue of the Greeks and Latin called pietas, meaning love of God, love of neighbor, love of country. And when one goes out, all go out. When we no longer have love of God, we no longer have love of country.”
Sheen continued, “We started our country with a revolution. Revolution is in the air today. In fact, the arguments, today, are that we started that way, why not continue it? We do live in America with a revolutionary tradition. But the question is, what kind of revolution should we have?”
He then tells the story of a soldier who fought at Concord. The soldier was asked why he fought, why he went to Concord. The answer came, “For one reason, that we might govern ourselves.” Sheen goes on to say, “Now, what’s the revolution of today? VIOLENCE! Violence just for the sake of violence … the new type of revolt, which involves the destruction of everything in the past. And these people who are actuating violence today, claim they are in line with the American Revolution. THEY ARE NOT!”
The point Venerable Fulton Sheen makes is that our nation was founded, and has thrived, by the understanding that our rights and liberties come from God. The revolution he was viewing in the 1960s, and we are seeing reenacted today, is a rejection of God, in favor of man.
Yes, we the people are revolting, albeit quietly at this point. So far, we have not given the globalists a reason to really crack down on us here in the USA. Why? Well, January 6, 2021, is part of it. So is the matter of mass surveillance as explained by BioClandestine and Anonymous Conservative in any number of his posts.
Vox Day looks at the failure of the Canadian Convoy to accomplish anything. The biggest problem we face is people presenting this narrative that our problem is we face bad leaders, or corrupt leaders, or even “the Elites” who are bent on dominating us. It feeds into this natural sense that you meet your enemy on their battlefield. So Trudeau is the enemy, and you go to Ottawa and face him down. But the truth is, if you see “them,” they are not the real enemy. They are a distraction. The real enemy is thus far unknown to us. It is a shadow, it is a gust of ether, that evaporates into nothing when you look at it, because that is how this enemy is designed. It is a covert intelligence operation, and it is organized. Read Vox’s account, and then understand that on the other side were intelligence professionals who had surveillance files on everyone present, flowsheets showing interrelationships among convoy members, a plan to infiltrate the right people into the right places to create chaos, and more importantly they long ago seized complete situational awareness and control over government. They knew everyone in government, had decades of surveillance files on all of them, blackmail on probably all of them, and they installed all of them in office in rigged elections. The real battlefield, is the political establishment, not the hearts and minds of the people. The real war, should have been to infiltrate all those truckers into government positions, political parties, local politics, and to expose the other side’s surveillance to the people. Instead everybody drove to Ottawa and spent a week sitting around in their trucks, hoping people whose votes don’t even count would like them. It was the completely wrong battlefield. We are in an intelligence war. Until that is exposed by exposing the surveillance, nothing will change.
And that is the main issue we all seem to face. A surveillance state that we didn’t vote for is hiding among us. They don’t want the patriot sorts in the government at all, so the fix is in to keep the globalist WEF trainees from “losing” at the polls even as we try to keep the protest and revolt peaceful and non-violent.
However, it would be short sighted to claim that the convoy(s) achieved nothing. If anything, they reminded the globalists that the people are no longer asleep completely.
Meanwhile:
And guess what. The Freedom Convoy is still a thing.
Have a good day y’all.

MATTHEW 20:17-28
17And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.” 20Then the mother of the sons of Zeb’edee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; 28even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
“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
Holiness is this profound contact with God, becoming a friend of God: it is letting the Other work, the Only One who can really make the world both good and happy. — Benedict XVI
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
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.
Salvation Army update. I decided to check in on The Salvation Army to see if they went broke after going woke. Quite the opposite. They are now claiming that 2021 was their “second most successful year of fundraising in history.” Source
I’m skeptical. Even putting aside the whole “woke” scandal, I literally did not see any Red Kettles this year during the Christmas season. While searching for Salvation Army news in December, I saw SA chapters from across the country begging for Red Kettle volunteers. These same articles all had apocalyptic predictions about “fundraising being down 20% for the year,” and how they’re losing money because they don’t have people to man the kettles. So even if we accept the “social media is an echo chamber and nobody cared if they went woke” argument, the situation many local SAs were laying out in December was that they literally did not have the manpower to collect donations. And somehow, despite this lack of manpower and noticeable lack of Red Kettles, we are all supposed to believe that this was their “second most successful year of fundraising in history.”
Mmmhmm.
Here’s how The Salvation Army conveniently explains it away:
To be honest, I believe The Salvation Army’s claim in a lawyerly way. I’d wager that following the “go woke” disaster, actual real people did indeed stop donating, and the billionaires and intelligence agencies who push the “woke” narrative picked up lost donations, plus an added bonus for the trouble. After all, they can’t have tax cattle believing that their boycotts actually have an effect. They can’t have the tax cattle seeing how unpopular this “woke” garbage actually is. The narrative must be propped up at all costs. And it’s easier than ever to hide where the money came now that the official narrative is, “the money came from online donations and not the kettles.”
I do not buy the narrative that the majority of the American public is still supporting this garbage organization. I am never donating anything to the SA ever again whether that’s money or household items. I am never going to volunteer for them. I am never going to shop in their stores again. Let the glowing turds in our government and Blackrock pick up the loss, and prop them up like they do our illegitimate White House occupant.
100% agreed. The idea that the Salvation Army didn’t take a bath on wokeness is not plausible. AT ALL.
Once it was a church, devoted to saving souls where they needed saving. Now, it’s just another corrupt NGO.
Taken over by the Commie Globalists just like all the other NGOs.
It looks like Hillsdale College is about the only decent place left to donate to. (Ad yes I know there are a few others)
When the news started getting out about them they said they were concerned about the reduction in donations. So either people took pity on them or the wealthy took up the slack.
The woke swamp picked up the slack as they sank further into the slime.
“the wealthy Bolsheviks took up the slack.”
FTFY
Hi Sadie, thanks for the update. I tend to agree with your analysis. I hate that they have taken something good like the SA and turned it into some kind of hideous leftist pile of garbage.
I gave them a fair bit throughout the years.
Never again. Not a dime.
They killed Scouting, too. First, the Girl Scouts, with lesbianism and Planned (un)Parenthood, then the Boy Scouts, with watered-down requirements, wokeness, and homosexuality (and gay leaders it appears)…
Two very important shapers of youth corrupted by the deep state and the pink machine.
The commies and the devil always start with the youth. Hitler often used young girls as spokes-bots… (probably Greta-the-greenhearted’s inspiration)…
Mao used young people to kill their own parents and the elder. All for the cause.
I read that someplace.
Yes they did. Horrible what they did to scouting.
Good point about the commies starting with the youth. It’s quite effective.
Additional thought. If The Salvation Army truly did achieve “second best fundraising year in history” based on help from the masses, then you’d think that headline would be plastered everywhere. The press release I linked to was dated March 11th, so it should have been recent headlines, too. Instead, I had to go out of my way to find it. Right now, if you search for “Salvation Army” on Google and click the “News” tab, this is the top headline:
Former Salvation Army program director charged child porn possession
…
The rest of the headlines are Ukraine relief stuff. Anyone still thinking of donating to this trash organization should know their money is funding CRT, pedophiles, and foreign warzones.
That’s if you do not specify where you want the money to go.
In the memo line of a check, write in the program you want to support. Either that or put it in a letter. The organization is bound to restrict the funds to that program. That’s the way it works. Otherwise, all cash goes into an unrestricted pot that covers the administration as well as the programs.
And, TBH, most NGOs and churches really rely more on major gifts for financing than public campaigns. It’s not really advertised, but having worked in non-profits for a couple decades, I can tell you with confidence that is the case.
Oh, and another thing about non-profits and major gifts, when I finally got out, there was a trend of major gift givers sending cashier’s checks over five figures going on with the cash going to a specific program, but with no name attached to it. The people were forgoing the tax advantage in exchange for not being hounded for more money. We’re talking ten to a hundred grand. The executive director of that non-profit was fit to be tied. But, then, she was a scheming social climber and the organization was her ticket upward.
Agreed on the billionaires picking up the tab. That’s always been the way it worked when the red kettle campaign didn’t meet the goal.
Betting Millions were siphoned off from the Covid slush funds to Salvation Army.
This.
Democrats diverting funds from taxpayers via congressional spending.
Good theory, likewise explaining “woke compensation”.
👍
Let the leftist turds fund them until they get tired of it. They are dead to us.
I would far rather donate local. I give my household items to a locally-run donation center rather than the Goodwill up the road. And if I have cash to donate, my favorite way is to give it to a school-lunch program, to feed a kid whose account is $0. They still get fed a peanut butter sandwich if they are out of money, but that’s just another thing to get teased about.
I’d rather my own town get anything I might have to give.
That is what I do. I give my stuff to a no kill animal shelter. They have a garage sale every year.
Good idea!
Every time i donated stuf, nice clean sometimes collectibles, packed with care, the guys repeatedly would take everything andvthrow it in the trailer. Different guys so it was just the didnt care.
I started donating to a local place that does care and it always grateful.
Nice thought, but we know they steal taxpayer funds for these purposes.
I’d wager they got a lot of biden covid bux, kickbacks from wokedness
the salvos, Red Cross and st Vincent de Paul charities have shat the bed here. Red Cross, alone , raised 96 million for the bushfire victims in an appeal that was specifically for them. They then kept half back for” a rainy day”. Hey arseholes – it’s been raining!
many will never donate to them again

They appear delusional, but I don’t think they are. Have they seen the crowds at rallies? Undoubtedly. So how could they possibly think they could beat PDJT in a primary? What do they have up their sleeves?
Maybe they’re just blinded by greed, power, and hate. The people clearly want what PDJT wants for this country. Those RINOs do not. They do not care about the people or the country.

They are desperate to that their crimes are getting exposed and need to stall the MAGA movement as long as possible. Bet they will use any trick legal and illegal to do that.
We need to watch their every move.
REMEMBER THE DHS is NOW considering those who speak out against the Clot Shot or the War in Ukraine with Russia AS TRAITOR/TERRORISTS…
They may be hoping that Trump gets taken out by the use of a FELONY and CORRUPT JUDGES/JURIES.
I wonder if POTUS saw this coming and that is why he has NEVER said anything bad about the Clot Shot?
Speaking for myself, I’m noticing how every thing that they try has or is failing.
Take the COVID narrative, for example.
I therefore have every reasonable expectation that this, too, will/would fail.
And it is a certainty that Trump et al. saw it coming.
They got W elected.
Edit. AND, BiteMe fraudulently installed.
They’re all getting dirty money and they’re afraid DJT will end it? Maybe afraid DJT will prosecute them?
Remember that Hitlery said they would all hang…
2020 hasn’t been fixed so they know that true MAGA will never be allowed to “win” Any Election!
Hi DePat. I haven’t been over here much. Vision issues. Hopefully to be resolved in the next six weeks. Meanwhile, my online time is growing less and less. Glad I got here tonight to read your opening post. Most interesting. Thanks for putting it all together.

Last I heard of wheatietoo back in Nov/Dec she was dealing with an illness. Is she still struggling with it?
Have not seen anything here. I take this as good news, since bad news travel fast.
My guess, quite possible some “off channel” chatter.
Wheatie was, IS a treasure. Wheatie’s Tree Houses were so cool AND memorable. Miss her much.
Not sure if wheatietoo falls in the category of not participating per se. I suspect she instructed boss not to speak about the reason for her absence. Definitely misses her as I’m sure we all do.

Treaty Politics and the Rise of Executive Agreements: International Commitments in a System of Shared Powers
EVEN WORSE
IF a president signs a treaty OTHER countries consider it VALID. Therefore it completely depends on WHAT type of enforcement is contained within the treaty itself. For example the World Trade Organization (WTO) has TEETH!!
Instead of the usual trade treaties for the first time a world organization, WTO, with tough sanction and enforcement powers, was formed. More important, decision making would be secret, with no oversight. The most vital issues of economic life on the planet were to be decided behind closed doors.
Under WTO rules, countries or Corporations can challenge another’s laws. The case is heard by a tribunal of three trade bureaucrats (corporate lawyers). There is no conflict of interest rules binding them, and the names of the judges are kept secret. There is no rule that the judges of WTO respect any national laws, the three judges meet in secret and all court documents are confidential and cannot be published.
I consider the WTO the trial run for ‘Global Governance’ since it overrides national sovereignty and allows the judges of WTO to overrule national laws.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, March 16, 2022
✟
“Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.”
Psalms 25:1 (KJV)
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Great news if we discount draught.
I know Texas has seen little to no rain through out the winter months and nothing notable during the fall months. March normally brings on about four days of light rain, but it keeps the way it has we won’t see that. Texas has not experienced a serious draught for over a decade and with it’s large influx of people the last few years any draught, even moderate will have a serious impact.

Yes, that’s what the “right ? ” thing was for. Didn’t miss it. Just pointing out possible trouble.
I’ll also be a smart aleck.

If the Russians don’t have material evidence, they aren’t going to sanction. They must have material evidence on these people if they are actually still alive. There are rumors that some of them aren’t.
Which ones are said to be dead?
You’re cracking me up today.
Good. 😁 I’m looking for evidence because I think we can stray too far into what Steve refers to as arbitrary assertions.
Why not the obummer too?
Once you catch those, they are going to SQUEAL like the EVIL pigs they are. After all Hitlery has MASSIVE blackmail files…
“Russia has something on this bunch and it’s going to come out”
.
What I’d like to see is that list of Congress-Critters that are pwned by the RED Chinese.
Merge that list with the one that Russia has (judging by this), and D.C. would be all but emptied in record time.
The Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves…
This is why I’m sitting back and watching.
Don’t believe anything that smacks of yellow journalism or gossip.
That could also apply to the Flynn – Byne/Clemment-Wood mess.
Remember Byrne said he helped the FBI in 2005 & 2006 “… it was my honor to help them TAKE DOWN A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE ON WALL STREET….”
SO WHY WAS THERE NO NEWS ABOUT THAT??? 2005&6
He also said it was Peter Strzok who contacted him about helping the FBI a third time (The Russian Spy was #2)
“…Byrne said it was political espionage. CONDUCTED AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON, Rubio, Cruz and Trump….”
That bit about Wall Street is very interesting….
Exactly. The stuff I’m seeing on the back channels indicates that at least two of those you mention are operators/agitators.
We have no clue who are the moles and spies and who are not. This is an intelligence war, and too many people are only looking at the surface or what they want to see.
And that is causing rifts as intended by the other side.
Hope you see the other two companion comments.
I should also add this:
It looks like Byrne was helping the Deep State kill off the ‘Honest’ or should I say intelligent bankers leaving just the WOKE bankers. And WHO DO THOSE BANKERS CONTROL??
Those leveraged buyouts DESTROYED OUR GOOD AMERICAN CORPORATIONS.
I worked for one who was a great company. Before they had to fight off repeated ATTACKS by Corporate Raiders they HAD NO DEBT. The CEO suddenly died at his desk🤔 the company was then taken over, dismembered and the factories boxed up and shipped overseas.
Yep. The “Hostile Takeover” is something that boggles the mind. Why that is legal I have no idea… Icahn, et. al. come to mind, as well as the Heuschrecken KKR (Kohlberg, Kravis, and Roberts)… I’ve had the misfortune of working for three high-tech companies that were pitilessly dismembered by KKR, and saw lives, careers, and families destroyed in the process, all because those soulless thieves wanted some more money and power and fame (or perhaps infamy)…
With all the mergers, etc., it looks like they’re aiming for only one company per “branch” or area of corporate expertise. Then they can roll them all up into “Satan Incorporated” and really raise Hell (figuratively and literally)…
The result was transnational corporations CONTROLLED by a small number of financial institutions.
I keep posting this for that reason:
0ctober 2011 The Network of Global Corporate Control
“… the top ranked actors hold a control ten times bigger than what could be expected based on their wealth….”
I connected that to the fact that pension funds and mutual funds own stock THAT IS VOTED BY THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND NOT BY US ‘little folk’.
This explains why corporations have all gone woke in a coordinated fashion. It is because they ARE COORDINATED! Also do not forget the board of directors are interlocking and swap people all the time.
And what’s really sad about it are the number of formerly family owned businesses who sold out to the globalists. In the last 30 years or so, every single one of those businesses here did just that. The list is pretty staggering.
Yes it is. Practically all the companies I & Hubby worked for, from Family owned to fortune 500 ARE GONE!
We are talking about some companies that were around 100 years old or more.
What back channels are those?
The “I know something you don’t know” channels. 😂
Projecting again…
Kanal 00…
I don’t know what Kanal 00 is. I responded to TT because I have often, over many months, wanted to ask the same question. And I’m glad it was asked.
Commonly there are references to unnamed sources. Any more, while those sources may be accurate, I look at them with all the weight of, “anonymous”.
This is NOT intended as a ding. But referenced sources matter, for believably, credibility… Otherwise it remains an opinion, which is also fine.
I’m only talking about the consistent reference to “mystery” sources.
[big sigh]
Doesn’t matter what I type, it’s going to be wrong.
To clarify, I’m not saying anyone is wrong. I’m just asking, when you refer to back channels, what those are so we can all access the same information and make our own judgments.
The sources have been linked here time and again, and dismissed. Dave Janda, telegram accounts Storm Rider, the Storm has arrived, etc. I don’t take Benjamin Fulford or Real Raw News at face value, but they are worth keeping on the radar just in case.
A lot of evidence of the whole movie set and body double possibilities has been presented and dismissed even if the differences are circled in neon. Videos from man on the street level from Washington demonstrate that all is not what we are told it is.
This is why I keep saying we haven’t been shown what is really going on, and we might not be, either. For me, reality centers around Church.
Thanks for those sources. It would help if people would cite the source when presenting any piece of info or opinion.
I have not “dismissed” any of those sources. I do state opinions about what any source says, as I am doing now.
“Differences circled in neon” have been shown over and over to be faked, tricks of lighting, mistakes, and the like.
“Body double possibilites” do exist when someone is at a distance and not interacting with people who know them well. For example, I believe Biden riding a bike in a helmet could be a body double. But RBG working closely with her SCOTUS colleagues and her staff, no way. Hillary talking with people she knows, no way. None of us would be fooled in such situations.
Videos from someone on the street in D.C. are to be taken over the word of every Congressman who works there? Not one of the conservatives would alert us that something is not right at the WH? None of the journalists who report on the WH would say anything? The conspiracy is so big that even Steve Doocy is going along with it? IMO, that is not credible, in the least.
Thanks for sharing these…My “correction”
“For me, reality centers around Ch
urchrist.”Blessings & thanks for all you do here at the Q-Tree!
Oh my, now it’s the vapors.
I’ll just add, any “channel” (or account) is an anonymous person(s) – unless it isn’t. The difference is keeping it a mystery, rather than pointing people in a direction to investigate for themselves.
As in connect the dots.
Or, perhaps, connect the doxxes…
Which is why some sources are anonymous…
Discernment… vapors indeed… H²S, perhaps…
I was very clear. I always am. I don’t hide behind cryptic or mysterious. HAGD
Oh my. Now it’s the vapors.
I’ll just add, the ironic hypocrisy is amazing.
Late last evening I wrote a very long, earnest, carefully worded reply about a very serious pressing issue – and the reply to me was . . .
“I don’t care what you think.”
I was and am hardly the only person here with the same concerns, and simultaneously expressing them. But those individuals are treated with kid gloves.
And today the same person who typed “I don’t care what you think” starts in with the victim card . . . yeah, it’s the vapors.
The only hypocrisy is not being able to handle it after dishing it out. HAGD
Which of course explains execrable effusions in response to the same. H²S indeed…
Enough with the florid nonsense. You read what I said. You are free to check what I referenced. And it’s all good with you. Once again, you make my point for me. How about enough already. Because I’ve cut the cord with you.
Man, I don’t think I’ve had the vapors in…IDK…like since high school? At least college graduation.
Not true. And your opinions are no less valid than anyone else’s, if not usually better informed. And for certain your opinions are more valued than any detractors of your’s. Don’t forget that.

There has to be a balance. If we discount everyone’s actions as being part of a plan, then we will miss evidence that is right in front of our faces. We will live in a world where nothing is real and no one is who they seem to be. That is the surest way to get drawn in to schemes that are destructive to our cause. It is how those with evil schemes gain people’s trust. Sometimes people really are just working in their own interests while saying they’re working for the country (Congress, anyone?).
There is no good reason for the shortcomings of the Maricopa audit. There is no explanation that would justify keeping Dr. Shiva from being able to put his findings in the report. No good will come from that. And there are MANY such occurrences that we will allow if we think it’s all part of a grand scheme. The word delusion comes to mind. We can’t allow ourselves to be deluded.
The country is not being run from a fake WH on a movie set. The entire Congress, all the staff, all foreign visitors, etc. are not working at a different location. Yet, we were told that that was probably the case and that it was proof of something. RBG lived until she actually died, right before her funeral. There are no body doubles that can fool people up close who know the actual person well.
We have to guard against becoming sheep, ourselves, because believing some of the things I see here makes us play right into their hands.
The fundamental problem with the whole “devolution” theory is that there is no way, even in principle, to disprove it.
Any evidence against it is dismissed as “fake” or “disinformation” that is part of “the plan.”
Donald Trump could drop dead, and they would merely maintain that he faked his death for some reason, and it’s part of “the plan.” Since they won’t tell us what the plan is or even when it will come to fruition, there’s no way to test it.
A theory that cannot be disproved even in principle is garbage. As one wag once said, it isn’t even wrong, it’s at a lower level of truth value than just being wrong would make it. It’s instead what philosophers call an “arbitrary assertion” which sounds like a mild term but is in fact a label for claims that can neither be proved nor disproved so they can, and should be, ignored as having no relation to reality.
Exactly. IMO there is a difference between Q saying “trust the plan” and what a lot of people are saying today. Nowadays, everything is believed to be part of a plan, so nothing is real. Watching that unfold is akin to our sitting enraptured in front of a TV. In that scenario, we do not use our judgment and just take whatever is fed to us. We think what they want us to think. We become sheep and tools of the dark side.
I believe the white hats did and do have a plan. I do not think that plan involves body doubles up close, fake movie sets, people faking their own deaths, people dying and others making us think they’re still alive, sabotaging election audits, having feuds with other patriots, etc. Sometimes things really are just what they seem to be.
As for patriots pretending to be something they’re not, that is always part of spying and undercover work. But there needs to be a good reason for it. I don’t buy the notion that when patriots mistreat each other and lie about each other, damaging someone’s reputation and very livelihood, it is all part of a plan and we just can’t see the reason for it yet. I don’t buy the notion that patriots taking huge donations with no accountability is just part of a plan. People need to be held accountable.
I agree that we need to recognize and guard against arbitrary assertions. They could very well come back to bite us.
Wow 👍🏻 Superb.
Wow.
No wonder you cannot believe in God. To you, he is “garbage”.
And yet faith in the unprovable unseen is the key.
Of course, one first has to believe it is possible even if it cannot be proven or disproven.
faith = trust
”Do not let the world overcome you.”
Hate to see an otherwise decent person miss out on the greatest, biggest truth of all. Sad to see it happen, but you aren’t the first and won’t be the last.
Lord, save this man from himself. For your glory and honor, and our thanksgiving. Amen.
God isn’t a theory, that is an insult. God just is.
Read his comment again. Or perhaps “research” it. Seems the point was missed…
You basically decided that because I think any *theory* you cannot disprove even in principle is garbage, then I must think *God* is garbage.
Whatever he might be, Yahweh isn’t a theory. However, the proposition “Yahweh exists” is a theory.
It would be like confusing Ukraine–the physical reality of that big piece of land and the people within it–with the proposition “Ukraine exists.”
Of course it’s easy enough to prove that Ukraine exists, and (in principle) plenty of ways to test to see if it doesn’t. Like going to those coordinates and seeing if there are a lot of Ukrainians running around or not. Ukraine existing would have logical consequences; if those consequences turn out not to be true, then there’s no reason to believe Ukraine exists.
The problem with the sorts of assertions I am talking about here is that they do not have testable consequences. If Person A (who ought to know if devolution is true or not) says it’s true–the proponents of the theory conclude it’s true. If Person A instead says its false, the proponents of the theory conclude it’s true, because he’s obviously trying to conceal it for some reason. *There’s no way to test the theory when any piece of evidence AND the opposite piece of evidence BOTH can be interpreted the same way.* Thus, there’s no way for us to know whether it’s true or not.
It’s interesting how you pivot from “devolution is true” to “God exists” as if you get to them by the same methodology. After all, I wasn’t claiming the proposition that God exists belongs in this category…but YOU just did.
But hey, if you want to put “God exists” in that same unprovable/undisprovable category, that’s fine with me. Just do me a favor and in the future, don’t try to claim you have a *rational* argument for the existence of God. (Maybe others do, but you, clearly, do not.)
Actually, I should thank you for your honesty. You’re saying there’s no way to prove or disprove the existence of God via rational means, that faith is necessary. That’s an honest stance, better than all the bogus “rational” arguments I’ve seen that don’t stand careful scrutiny.
What if, though, there is evidence to support a theory that simply has to be arranged properly for the theory to take on skin?
That’s where expanding thinking comes in, IMO.
Well said, and I’m seeing more and more of that.
Many of the old “conspiracy theories” were the same way. (I say “old” because the term has better referents now than it did in the past.)
Imagine infiltrating the organization that was supposed to be behind everything, just to see if it was really true. And you find out it’s not. The people who believe the old-style conspiracy theory won’t believe you, because, clearly, you’ve been suborned by the Illuminati (or whoever).
Even testimony from an insider is worthless to disprove the Old style conspiracy theory, by the very nature of the theory.
“No wonder you cannot believe in God. To you, he is “garbage”.”
___________
Where did he say that, Capt. Strawman?
Indeed.
In fact his strawman said more about him than it did about me.
“If I can’t understand something, that must mean it’s part of a plan”. That may very well be true and almost surely is – some of the time — and maybe at this point it’s a majority of the time. But it isn’t an absolute.
Hillary Clinton obviously has used a body double. And Biden’s installation was hinky, wrong time and wrong weather. And they are using a sound stage.
So who hired Doug Logan, and paid his now-defunct CyberNinjas? Seems like old-fashioned infiltration and corruption to me.
Good questions that we need answers to.

Sometimes, Correlation Is Causation
The 2008 mortgage crisis was caused by the five new banking laws Clinton signed.
THE BANKING LAWS:
The McFadden Act of 1927 or Amendment to the National Banking Laws and the Federal Reserve Act (P.L. 69-639, 44 STAT. 1224): Prohibited interstate banking.
Law: Negating above:
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 </b>(P.L. 103-328, 108 STAT. 2338).
Permits bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state one year Beginning June 1, 1997, allows interstate mergers. (Can you say TOO BIG TO FAIL???)
…..
The Glass-Steagall Act or Banking Act of 1933</b> (P.L. 73-66, 48 STAT. 162): Separated commercial banking from investment banking, establishing them as separate lines of commerce.
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (P.L. 84-511, 70 STAT. 133): Prohibited bank holding companies headquartered in one state from acquiring a bank in another state.
Law: Negating both of the above laws:
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-102, 113 STAT 1338)
Repeals last vestiges of the Glass Steagall Act of 1933. Modifies portions of the Bank Holding Company Act to allow affiliations between banks and insurance underwriters. Law creates a new financial holding company authorized to engage in: underwriting and selling insurance and securities, conducting both commercial and merchant banking, investing in and developing real estate and other “complimentary activities.” (Can you say TOO BIG TO FAIL???)
….
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (P.L. 102-242, 105 STAT. 2236).
Also known as FDICIA. FDICIA [b]greatly increased the powers and authority of the FDIC. Major provisions recapitalized the Bank Insurance Fund and allowed the FDIC to strengthen the fund by borrowing from the Treasury.
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-550, 106 STAT. 3672).
RTC Completion Act (P.L. 103-204, 107 STAT. 2369):

Time to step in as these and other acts also contributed. IMO, as a former business banker selling loans to WS, the debt market collapse was primarily driven by Gramm-Leach and the Community Reinvestment Act. Dodd-Frank is not going to help much because of political cronyism and international banking pressures.
This is a good summary from where I sat back in the day. It’s not all-inclusive, but hits some good high spots.
https://www.thebalance.com/2008-financial-crisis-3305679
I am out of time this AM and will return to this later. Just will say this now – banks should be banks, insurance companies should be insurance companies, hedge funds should be regulated/audited more, investment houses should not own banks, insurance companies would not own banks, etc.
I would love to hear your take on those five laws and the ramifications. The original laws were put in place to prevent another Great Depression.
McFadden was a banker and he hated the FED.
http://www.wearswar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/mcfadden-fed-reserve-superstate.jpg
On January 13, 1932, McFadden made a speech introducing a resolution to indict the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for criminal conspiracy:
McFadden would be correct IMO. I would have been his acolyte had I lived during those days. Any action to correct has always been met by the corrupted personal interests of the HR/Senate members who do their bidding. They would have probably killed me off.
100+ year plan to take control of America as well as the world.
From my semi-retained brain cell memory banks…
The timing of interstate banking to overturn McFadden was publicly submitted to counter Japan and Euro big bank growth that was beginning to dominate corporate international finance and grow expansion of those countries’ economies. We had already ceded manufacturing to Japan and others who emerged later like China. We were well on the way toward losing the automotive dominance we held for decades.
It is a more complex and slower process to assimilate bank participation loans of size for international conglomerates using smaller sized banks. When too big to fail mega sized banks are available they can commit to the larger financing deals and farm out participations to downstream correspondent banks after the financing has been been underwritten and committed. Many times the mega bank will have enough liquidity to fund without needed funds from participants prior to or at closing of the transaction. They then settle up with the participants after the fact. When assets such as real estate, capital equipment, vehicle fleets, government project borrowing, military industrial complex, etc. need the big bucks – you better have it available pronto. When foreign banks end up getting those deals, you have a national security issue to address because the foreign bank is going to potentially learn trade secrets, marketing strategy, national defense issues, etc.
There were other factors given for public consumption such as getting banks into underserved and poor markets that would not ordinary have the capital to create their own banks to fund local needs. The big bank could simply branch in.
Gramm-Leach just stunk to high heaven the day it was signed. Slick green lighted that early in his first term and Newt and the GOP were all too happy to help it progress. With the debt market collapse in 2008 – the banks and insurance companies learned big time how stupid it was to dive into each other’s businesses. Most divested as soon as they could pull it off. JMO – the reason it does not work well is because of business model principles. They do not underwrite business the same ways. Bankers think credit quality and all of the factors, formulas and calculations that go into that are combined with factors that cannot be quantified relating to business practices and operations. Insurance companies play the odds from data and are more industry (macro) focused. That is fine if all they are doing is investing in pooled debt products to build income streams. But when they gain bank control and start influencing the daily operations of a bank’s credit area, it can lead to disaster. You simply cannot cookie cutter credit in commercial and international finance. It usually does not end well with consumer finance as well when national recessions/depressions come along. Banks diving into insurance services was less prevalent except for small stuff. They might have a subsidiary through a holding company. Banks never really identified with the risk of the insurance business model and are more micro transaction driven versus macro long term relationship driven as it is with insurance.
IMO, what precipitated the 2008 collapse was the CRA and the entitlement philosophies of politicians toward owning houses, vehicles, and easy consumer credit. That attitude trickled down into the regulatory agencies, who looked the other way or went easy on their exams. Easy money led to easy lending practices to float the politicians’ boats. Then the vultures swooped in after housing/mortgages/equity loans collapsed, vehicle lending collapsed with the car manufacturers downturn from consumer spending tanking from all the job losses and negativity, credit card related defaults/bankruptcies exploded, etc. All of it killed commercial and corporate lending/projects in the process because business demand tanked and large buyers of debt securitizations ran away as fast as they could. Where did they find safe harbor. Government debt – bonds and in other international markets who were picking up the slack of a deteriorating America.
And then lo and behold, who rides into the rescue – the Fed and all the world’s central banks to crank up the printing presses and buy the governmental deficits around the world due to the shrinking tax revenue bases. Well, that was convenient. All while their vulture buddies grab all the real estate, troubled businesses, and low cost/high upside assets they could find.
FDICIA just gave them access to the piggy bank to shore up the “insurance” fund that is supposed to be paid from bank contributions. Surprise, they can tap the treasury in bad environments and conveniently forget to recoup the funds through increased charges to member banks.
So what was the primary factor driving the bad underwriting, funding, etc.?
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Forces banks to not redline, to reinvest back into their assigned territories regardless of credit worthiness or viability. Audited every year. If the bank gets accused or sued by community groups, they usually write them a check to settle it regardless of its validity. RTCC act made the FDIC an attack hound for leftists as it expanded the overreach on banks to include business lending in crap markets as well as giving them the authority to go after business loan defaults from many years before that Resolution Trust had already closed the books on. They typically assert some sort of borrower impropriety that was missed. Basically – extort money from people who had moved on from a failed business and had subsequently found success. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loaded up on the high risk house loans of CRA as well.
Funding for the mess came from many sources, but hedge funds funded the largest segment of it and by their design took on the most risk to receive the highest returns. So they would buy the higher risk tranches of the securitizations – the stuff that was encouraged by politician actions and liberally underwritten. So when the underlying assets started defaulting at much higher rates than modeled, they theoretically lost money. As a rule, if they lose money on an investment they don’t do business with the investment bank that sold the investment anymore. So. if the loss was not overwhelming, the investment bankers would eat the losses to keep the funding source available for future deals in the works. They did it by buying back the investment/tranche they sold to the buyer. However, they did not anticipate the magnitude of the losses they would eat and eventually stopped absorbing the hedge funds’ loss positions. Bear Stearns bellied up first, followed by Lehman. The combinations of holding unsellable pools of debt, with taking losses in their own underwriting of investments, absorbing investor losses, reduced trading income, and making bad investments into troubled markets drove them into bankruptcy. It was not one bit surprising to me with BS since our company did business with them and I knew the mindsets and attitudes of their key senior managers. Arrogant arses. Then Countrywide and other large home mortgage poolers bit the dust because nobody was securitizing their pools of mortgages because they ran out of buyers. Meanwhile the delinquency and default rates continued to worsen with each passing day on their own books. They ran out of money and time.
So, track the sources of liquidity for hedge funds and you know who took a lion’s share of losses among many “investors”. Guess who some hedge fund investors were (and are today)? Would oil prices go up if the investors were from Arab oil producing countries? Would the Balance of Trade get far worse from cheap products flooding the American market from consumer junk to steel and building products from China? Think back to that time. Let your mind run wild with the possibilities and you would be right most of time. The politicians were also on the hook internationally big time with their promises of performance in return for business opportunities. Some very bad people invest into those funds and expect the return they are promised. Consequences are what they are. Does it explain a bit of what you saw and see even today?
There’s more to it all than I have posted, but my brain and fingers are tired for now.
Well said. I always remember the loans that B of A made/underwrote to Mexico, which defaulted, USGov. steps in to pay off the loan AND THE PENALTY, rinse and repeat. IIRC, this happened three times in a row. Satan Sauros was involved for at least one of those defaults.
The two words that still scare the daylights out of me are unfunded liabilities. We have them over here, too, in spades. Sooner or later they’re going to be called in, and all hell will break loose… And the deep state, RED China, and who knows will saunter off to the bank, with OUR money, once again…
Just looking at Kalifornistan gives a bitter taste of what might happen… the no-longer-Golden State…
Thanks a bunch for posting that. It fleshes out some of the thinks I knew and gives me other stuff I did not know.
Amen!!!
Thanks for all your work all the time Gail. It’s all there, quotes and links. No nebulous references to hidden sources that we aren’t bright enough to be privy to. 😆
I try to show the ‘DOTS’ and hope people can see how they are connected.
Could there be some sting operations going on in the background?
Sure, and I certainly hope so. But I think we can say Byrne looks like a REAL BAD GUY and that is going back a couple decades. Either that or he was used by the sleasy FBI. Either way I do not trust him AT ALL.
Jeremy Oliver? I think he is a Con-Artist THUG!
Mary Fanning? I do not trust her either given who her hubby is AND the fact she does not use his name.
FLYNN? Jury is out. He could be part of a data gathering sting. The mess in Arizona could have been a ‘HEY LOOK A SQUIRREL’ major diversion while the real work is carried out quietly else where.
So Byrne is a public figure, he only resigned Overstock in 2019 (since 1999) after the Butina stuff came out. And from what you’ve uncovered he’s been on the wrong side for a long time. I’m trying to figure out how he has become Flynn’s right hand man, seemingly out of the blue.
It has to be more than just having the $$$ to facilitate things. Flynn knows plenty of those people. He has to have some connection to Byrne previous to 2020.
Regarding the mess in Arizona, wasn’t it $3M from Byrne and millions more in America Project donations (my money/your money) that was used to pay Cyber Ninjas? Flynn/Byrne hired them, they had no election audit experience, and are now conveniently out of business. Millions of OUR money, thrown around. America Project would never have been successful without the Flynn name recognition. Just like Powell’s Defend the Republic.
I’m just rambling, could go on and on. If Flynn is straight – none of this is a good look. If he’s undercover, playing fast and loose with millions in donation $$ isn’t a good look. I have not seen any financial disclosure with regard to either America Project or Defend the Republic – whereas Lin Wood’s stuff is out there.
Question, was Lindell just completely played from the get go? I thought Mary Fanning worked with him to produce the whole Absolute series of films.
And thanks for the back-and-forth. After last night’s new low, it’s nice to do business as usual.
“….Question, was Lindell just completely played from the get go? I thought Mary Fanning worked with him to produce the whole Absolute series of films…”
Yes she did work on the films. As to whether Lindell and Sidney Powell were played, I do not know but you have Joshua Merritt, Byrne and Jeremy Oliver Popping up all over.
This has a lot pf the skuttlebutt all in one place. World TribuneDominion Voting Systems update: Why the silence? Who is Mary Fanning?
And this Article in the Post & Email founded by a Christian and ‘staunch opponent of Communism and Fascism,’ has a lot more information
Did Mary Fanning Cause the Downfall of Mike Lindell?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of her. I forget, was she sitting behind a desk in those films? Or at the symposium?
As fast as stuff is coming down the conveyor belt, that feels like 3 years ago already.
Well things just got even more interesting…
I tried to find HER photo and instead found her husband’s Checking to see if it was the CORRECT person I found this.
