SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom
I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?
中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!
And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:
OK, with that rant out of my system…
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
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.
Mozart
Sedate. The adagio (2nd movement) from his clarinet concerto.
And a bit…less sedate. Last movement of his Symphony #41 which is the last one he wrote.
(Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s a Symphony #42, or 43, or…well up to #55 at least…as I explained last time the numbering isn’t really chronological. To the best of my knowledge he’s got at least 51 symphonies under his belt (though some are disputed), so if we were ever to renumber them, this one would be #51. But we never will renumber them; that would cause confusion for centuries.)
By the way, that sucker ends in a five part fugue. Not easy to write!

OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).
Last week:
Gold $1,959.40
Silver $25.63
Platinum $1,010.00
Palladium $2,418.00
Rhodium $19,800.00
So here it is, Friday after markets closed and we see:
Friday, 3PM MT close:
Gold $1,926.60
Silver $24.72
Platinum $994.00
Palladium $2,365.00
Rhodium $20,400.00
Everything down except for rhodium. Gold seems relatively solidly in the lower half of the 1900s, with the recent spike being history. Platinum, meanwhile, is going back on sale.
JWST Update
Apparently the James Webb Space Telescope imaging team has done such a good job with the initial mirror alignment that most of the instruments are properly focused.
The one exception to this is the MIRI (Mid InfraRed Instrument). Actually, it might be too. But this is the instrument that rounds out the bottom end of the JWST “visible spectrum” (quite a bit lower frequency than yours and mine, even with night vision goggles). In order to operate properly it needs to be cooled by liquid helium (!) which means a temperature of 4 K, or about 7 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero, or roughly -453F. There’s a special cryogenic cooling system for this instrument.
(On the temperature of warmth, relative to Hitlary Klinton’s personality, we’re talking about 14 degrees higher. And yes, I know that puts her at -10K which should be physically impossible…)
The other instruments are happy with a relatively balmy 33-44K (-400F to -387F) or so.
So MIRI is slowly being cooled. They didn’t bother doing anything with it before, so (ironically) it’s the toastiest-warmest instrument right now at 53K (-364F), but it is dropping fairly rapidly.
Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb If you click on the temperature plots button you can see what’s going on. And you can read the official statement from NASA here if I wasn’t clear enough:

(Of course sometimes I can write an entire post unpacking their release for non-geeks. But this one seems OK.)
Other Space News
We’ve got a double feature this week. Triple, if you count the JWST news.
First off, the Hubble Space Telescope ain’t dead yet! (Nor should it be so long as we have the will and resources to keep it going…it and JWST will complement each other nicely.) It has spotted a star–a big one, obviously–12.9 billion light years away. It has been named Earendel (the star, not the telescope), an obvious Tolkien reference. Well, it sounds like a name he’d make up; apparently you have to be nerdy enough to have read the Silmarillion to “get” it. The character became a star (literally).
So what’s the big deal? Well, if the star is that far away…then that light has been travelling for 12.9 billion years just to get to us. Which means the star itself was around only about 800 million years after the Big Bang. (It’s long, long, gone now–it probably blew up over 12.8 billion years ago. Big stars live hard and die young, burning fuel almost as profligately as Al Bore flying to a Global Warming summit.)
One of the goals of the JWST is to be able to see the very first stars that formed; we think those will generally be big honkin’ things that formed about the same time galaxies began to form. And since they will not contain anything other than the original hydrogen and helium that formed when the universe was a few minutes old. Among other things, for reasons I’m quite unclear on, stars made from pure “primordial” hydrogen and helium can likely be much larger than stars today can be. (We won’t know for sure until we can see them.)
Earendel is not one of these first stars, but it probably only had a couple of generations of predecessors. It’s certainly closer than we’ve come before. To do any better, we’ll need the (wait for it…) James Webb Space Telescope.
Meanwhile, if I understand correctly, the only reason we saw this star at all is it happens to lie in a place that’s gravitationally lensed; in other words, the curvature of space between us and Earendel is acting like a magnifying glass.
The other bit of space news is more on the “practical” side.
This is the most powerful rocket ever built. Even beating out the Saturn V which put Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and ten others on the moon over fifty years ago.
…As I described in the post above.
This rocket will be capable of putting 27 metric tons (spelled “tonnes”) of stuff in “Trans Lunar Injection” (in other words, to send 27 tonnes to the moon). Future versions will send over 46 metric tons Moonward. (The Saturn V did 43.5 tonnes at its best.)
This rocket will develop 8,800,000 lbf of thrust (39,000 kN) of thrust (versus Saturn V 7,891,000 lbf (35,100 kN)). The later versions will develop 9.2 million lbf of thrust. (lbf = “pounds force”, in other words a pound regarded as a unit of force, not a unit of mass…the English system is a hot mess when it comes to weight, force, and mass.)
The center stack (tan/brown) consists of liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen stages, similar to the shuttle. In fact it’s almost as if they simply stuck shuttle engines on the bottom of a shuttle external tank. (It’s more complicated than that, though.) The two boosters (HA!!! I can use that word for once without it being about f***ing slab jabs) are like the solid rocket boosters from the shuttle, only longer (an additional segment added); and they won’t be recovered after use.
Yes. It’s a moon rocket. An actual moon rocket, and is sitting on the launch pad. It’s either being fueled or IS fueled, today, and there’s a countdown in progress for a launch.
But that launch will be cancelled mere seconds before ignition.
This is a “wet dress rehearsal,” and it’s “wet” because that’s NASA/space travel slang for “with full fuel tanks.” Yes, they’re going to fuel it up, not launch it, drain the fuel, then take it back to the tall building where they assemble rockets (creatively named the Vehicle Assembly Building) and look it over to see if there are any problems. Because if there are problems caused by just filling the gas tank, you’d better address them before you launch the sucker for real!
Sometime in the future, there will be a real launch of an unmanned capsule. (Best guess, June.) Eventually…sometime around 2026…we go back to the moon. I’m going to repeat that, because the wokester Left is going to hang so much PC/CRT baggage on it that we risk losing sight of what’s important here while we vomit our lunches:
WE GO BACK TO THE MOON.
T2 Temperature
We talked about heat, as a form of energy last time around. Our discussion relied on the concept of temperature, which we’re all pretty comfortable with. It is, after all, part-and-parcel of any discussion of the weather, which nearly everyone likes to talk about and even plan their lives around.
But temperature is not heat. If it were, two objects at the same temperature would contain the same amount of heat.
“Wait, Steve,” you might say, “Of course a big boulder will contain more heat than a pebble, even at the same temperature, because it’s bigger!”
OK, not a bad thought. But as it turns out, two different substances, of the same mass, at the same temperature, will still contain different amounts of heat. In fact we can even hang a number on every substance, defining how much heat must be added to it to raise the temperature one degree (once we correct for the mass of the thing); that’s the specific heat. Water’s is unusually high, much higher than iron’s. (How we figured that out was largely covered last time.)
A very mundane observation comes into play here: If you put a hot object next to a cold one, or better yet, dunk one into a pool of the other, like hot iron into cold water, the iron cools off, and the water heats up. The process continues until everything is the same temperature. Then we’ve reached a state called “thermodynamic equilibrium” where heat is no longer flowing from the iron to the water. So temperature has to do with thermodynamic equilibrium.
Another clue came when chemists/physicists (pick either one: depending on where you draw the line between the two) investigated the behavior of gases in the 1600s through the early 1800s.
For instance, they found out that you could compress a gas, say to half its original volume, and it would both heat up and increase in pressure. You could then wait for the heat to dissipate (i.e., for thermodynamic equilibrium) and note the pressure was exactly twice as high as it was before the compression. (This is Boyle’s Law, from 1662.)
If you kept the gas at a constant pressure, heating it up would make it expand, cooling it would make it contract (this is Charles’s Law, from the 1780s).
And from 1800-1802, Gay-Lussac’s Law: Heating the gas while holding the volume constant would also increase the pressure. Cooling it would decrease the pressure.
But in order to go further with this, we need to be able to measure temperature. Here in the United States, we still use the Fahrenheit scale. It’s named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who developed a 100 degree scale, with 0 being the temperature of a particular kind of freezing brine, and 100 being tied to human body temperature. He did note that pure water froze at 32 on his scale. Of course hot water would bust the upper bound of this; by the 20th century the scale had been defined by setting the temperature of boiling water 180 degrees above freezing point, or 212 °F. (I must add here that this is the boiling point at sea level; it turns out to depend on air pressure.)
Of course when the metric system came along and defined a scale called centigrade (since renamed to Celsius after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744) who had had a similar idea in 1742), the tie to water became even stronger with 0 set to the temperature of ice water, and 100 set to the boiling point. (That hundredth of the difference is where the name “centigrade” came from, from Latin for “hundred steps.”) You can measure temperature on this scale, or talk about the difference between two different temperatures.
Now that last sentence is kind of odd; I seem to be pointing out the obvious there.
But there is a difference between Celsius being used to measure temperature, and (say) the meter used to measure length. For length, no matter what you do, you’re not going to find an object of negative length. But you can, apparently, measure the temperature of something and come up with a negative number. And because the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have different starting points, an object can have a positive temperature in Fahrenheit and a negative one in Celsius.
Not at all like length, or mass, where it’s pretty easy to agree on where to set zero and the only thing you have to worry about is the size of the unit. Two different systems (English and Metric) both agree on what zero length means; it’s just the size of a foot versus a meter that’s at issue. You can compare the size of a Fahrenheit degree with a Celsius degree (and find that it’s 5/9ths the size of the other), but that’s not all you need.
Imagine measuring the distance from Washington D.C. to New York City, with a zero point in Baltimore. You’d have to travel a few dozen miles from DC to even get up to zero distance. Now that’s weird, even post general relativity. And honestly, it’d be a pain to plan trips, make maps or do anything like that if we had to deal with such a mess…especially if, when doing it in metric, the zero point was in Philadelphia instead!
But that’s the way the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales work. The zero point isn’t at anything that might be considered a real zero, because you can get below that point. (That’s why you have to multiply by 5/9ths and then subtract 32…or was it subtracting 32 then multiplying by 5/9ths…or adding and multiplying by 9/5ths…or whatevertheheck. [OK, I’m clowning here. To get from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you subtract 32…to get a number that is zero when water freezes; it’s the number of Fahrenheit degrees above freezing. Now your number has the same starting point as Celsius, and you can multiply by 5/9ths to account for Celsius having “bigger” degrees. Invert the process to go the other way: multiply °C by 9/5ths, then add 32.])
So now lets return to our gas laws. Gay-Lussac’s law says heating a gas increases its pressure (keeping the volume constant). And Charles’s law says heating a gas makes it expand (keeping the pressure constant). In both cases, how much?
It’s not a neat proportion like Boyle’s law, where you can halve the volume and double the pressure (holding temperature constant). Heating a gas from 20 to 40 °F doesn’t double its volume (if pressure is constant), or its pressure (if volume is constant). And it doesn’t work going from 20-40 °C either (in fact it works a bit worse).
Aaah, but remember, temperature measurement is goofy! Zero seems to be picked at some unnatural point. Boyle’s law works as a proportion because neither quantity is temperature. The other two don’t work as a proportion.
Actually, as it happens, if you measure temperature relative to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F, instead of the scales’ zero points, it does work. Doubling the temperature measured from this point does indeed double the volume (or the pressure).
But working in reverse, if you were to cool your gas to -273.15 °C, then you’re at zero on the adjusted scale, and the volume of your gas should be zero. And so should its pressure.
It can’t shrink any more than that, and it can’t exert less pressure than that. So have we found an absolute lowest temperature?
It turns out we have. And so the modern metric unit…the real one, not the one people outside of the US see in their weather reports, which is still Celsius, is the kelvin, named after William Thomson (1824-1907). [Not a typo. Yes, “kelvin” and “Thomson” are distinctly different words, but he was named first Baron Kelvin by Queen Victoria in 1892 and used that name henceforth. In fact, he was the first scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords.]
Kelvin has the same degree size as Celsius. And it starts at absolute zero. So we don’t even bother with the word “degrees.” We don’t say “50 degrees kelvin” (unless by mistake), we just say “50 kelvins” or “50K.” And we skip the cute little circle: °. Water melts at 273.15 K, and boils a hundred kelvins higher, 373.15 K. And physicists think in kelvins. And so, especially, do astrophysicists, who will always quote the temperature of an astronomical body in kelvins. (If it’s something hot, they’ll just double that to give the science “journalists” Fahrenheit…it’s fairly close, and let’s face it, you and I don’t really know what 10,000F means other than “damned hot.”)
There is a similar scale using the Fahrenheit degree. It’s called the Rankine scale, symbolized with °R or °Ra. (And we’re back to the little circle.) It was proposed by Macquorne Rankin, using similar logic with the kelvin scale. But this is something you can safely forget about, as even English and American scientists and engineers stick with kelvins and no one but a scientist or an engineer cares about absolute zero.
As for the gases? Well, no they don’t shrink to zero size at 0K. Because long before then they liquefy or solidify, because the molecules of which they are made have a size greater than zero. Helium, it turns out, remains a gas all the way down to a bit over 4K. So the gas laws are an idealization, they work pretty well when the gases aren’t close to condensing or freezing.
The three laws I’ve mentioned so far can be combined into one rule. In fact, even better than that. If you work with moles of gas (i.e., accounting for the differences in molecular weight), you can bring in Avogadro’s law, which states that one mole of gas, at standard temperature (25 C) and pressure (one atmosphere) occupies 22.4 liters. So you can, if your name is name is Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron and it’s 1834, tie all these other laws to that (double the temperature and leave pressure constant and that mole occupies 44.8 liters; leave the volume constant and the pressure doubles to 2 atmospheres, etc.) and write:
PV = nRT
Where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the number of moles…and R is the fudge-factor constant. Without it, the law becomes a bunch of “is proportional to” statements, much messier to deal with and harder to nail down.
I once had to pressure-test gas piping, in winter. I’d pump a bunch of air into the line, measure the pressure and seal it off. Then come back a day later and hope the pressure had stayed the same.
But this was winter, in Colorado, and the temperature can change a LOT, day to day. Which would mean the pressure would change even without a leak. It could go up (which would confuse the ignorant and make him suspect a prankster was pumping more air into the system), or down (which would make him think he’d messed up the pipe work). But I knew better. Volume, of course was constant, so was simply dealing with Gay Lussac’s law. I’d convert the temperature to the absolute scale (for this I did use Rankines since I was starting with Fahrenheit), and see if the pressure I had initially measured dropped or rose to what it should be. (And of course, there really were a number of leaks…and it didn’t help that the pressure gauge was one of them!) But at least once I got a new pressure gauge and fixed my work, I knew it was good and didn’t get thrown off by the 30 degree temperature one day dropping to -10 the next day (which is enough to reduce the pressure almost seven percent all by itself).
Well, there are two possible directions to go from here…and I’ll take them both. See you next time.

Lol, sounds like something you could successfully market to unhappy spouses.
Maybe Will Smith is in the market this week?
That saga is getting interesting. I’m thinking the cabal is going to use it to rein him in and sink their claws deeper!
Could be. Will has said some interesting things over the years.
You say “a particular type of freezing brine” like it’s completely arbitrary. Further, you compare it — ha! ha! — with human body temperature, like that’s ridiculous.
Fahrenheit was obviously set up for measuring a certain phenomenon. The freezing brine is the same as the salted ice used in old-fashioned hand-crank ice-cream makers, and the human body temperature was that of an ice cream consumer on a warm day.
And what do you observe eating fresh ice-cream on a warm day? What was the Fahrenheit scale designed to investigate?
Brain Freeze!!!
Note that it’s still April Fools’ Day in certain time zones….
Including mine.
Heh.
Well, his estimate of human body temperature was a bit off, but not ridiculously so. This was the 1600s after all.
And…I forgot to change the Mozart.
Oh well, both are classics.
It was a fun read! I had friends who called it the “pivnert” equation, or the “pervert” equation, depending on both present company and mood.
LIstening to the Adagio right now!
I really like the tempo used in that recording. It is sedate enough that you can savor the beauty of the melody and how it all fits together.
One of the oddities of my classical collection is a performance of that concerto (as well as the clarinet quintet) by none other than Benny Goodman.
I used to be shocked to find out that performers of popular music could also play classical. Later I realized they were probably trained in classical first and that it is their foundation.
Or something……
Liquid Tension Experiment
(Doesn’t really move on until 2:00:15)
In the case of Benny Goodman he practically had to re-learn the clarinet when he went over to classical, at least if his wiki bio is to be believed.
Today, of course most peoples’ exposure to it is in school band class, and that seems to track into high school marching band.
Considering what Russia has been doing, I don’t believe those metal prices at all. Definitely not gold. And I’ve read that Russia supplies a lot of the world’s platinum and palladium. I think the globalists are using the same person who computes the inflation percentage to compute metal prices.
Careful thinking out loud. The leftist retards will come after you. For making them look as bad as they are.
I was expecting platinum and palladium to start marching upward, as well. There may come a time that they must be purchased in rubles.
South Africa is also a major source, perhaps the most important one. Or will be if they reopen that mine.
Sudbury in Canada supplies at least some PGMs too.
Someone posted an article yesterday about how Russia had killed the price fixing.
I haven’t seen much sign of THAT. But perhaps it will take time.
You’re absolutely right about Russia being a major source of PGMs. Many come out of the Noril’sk mine, which is, I believe, primarily a nickel mine.
If it was a plot, it didn’t work.

Study old Hollywood, and it’s a wonder that some films made it on screen. Of course, most of the rough work happened out of sight of the cameras.
Her toes look “normal” to me. But that this is “news” is a SMH moment.
Yes on both counts!
Speaking of Jenners and perhaps Olympics themes, could be “de thrill of victory and de agony of de feet…”….
Reversal on appeal. Bet on it.

New trial.
Why? Because it is a hindsight statement intended to support a decision [the verdict] that has already happened. It pretends that ‘the bell’ can be un-rung.
BTW, trying Maxwell is unfair due to the principal culprit being deceased IMO.

OMG, I’m on a Daily Fail kick now.
Here is an example of Daily Fail science!
Time to ditch the selfies? Photos taken on front-facing cameras distort your face and make your nose look LARGER, study finds
Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre have revealed that selfies distort your face, making your nose look longer and wider than standard photographs. Pictured left: a 12-inch selfie, centre: a 18-inch selfie, right: photo taken on a digital camera.
On the other hand, this one is a bit less obvious.
Fish doing n+1 addition and n-1 subtraction.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10672579/Fish-MATHS-Stingrays-zebra-mbuna-add-subtract-just-like-humans.html
Any real photographer could have told them this. No study needed. You use something like a 50 or 85 (or perhaps even longer) lens and back away from the subject so you have better perspective.
and hold the camera slightly above the face
And the almost fish-eye lenses they use… I think Nokia had a 41mp camera in one of their phones, but it REALLY bulged out from the phone – it was basically a camera with a phone attached.
Just look at Zillow or other real estate sites with their hideous pictures of rooms that don’t appear square, etc. Almost like ToonTown… There are plenty of small, good cameras out there, why can’t people use them…
I think “smart” phones have reduced the art (or just practice) of photography almost beyond correction… George Eastman is probably rolling in his grave, with barrel distortion and purple fringing as well…..
Well, this just might reduce the number of people going to “get a nose job” performed by a plastic surgeon?
Great point!
“Oh noes! My nose is too big in all my selfies!”

That’s the thing about medicine. They tend to keep the skeletons in the family. That needs to stop.
Yes, it needs to stop. I know of a now-retired family physician who was known to inappropriately put his hands on women, and put the women in unusual positions, when giving exams. Other doctors knew of it, but neither they nor the patients would turn him in for fear of retribution.
They need to add the AMA to that list.

So, one summer at the local municipal pool, a couple of the girls I worked with wanted to “get” one of the guys who was, shall we say, full of himself and not in a good way. They made brownies and sprinkled chocolate chips with X-Lax on top. Well, the target didn’t have any, but the other guys did. One of the particularly buff ones had quite a bit, actually, and three days later was delighted when he was finally “$#!+ing solid.”
One of the many reasons I’m glad I didn’t go to public high school.
Yikes!!! Amen to that last point. I get it now!
I think I was the one to break the Catholic school stigma around that bunch.

DEATH of The Dollar Begins Today; The Final Chapter of a Debt-Based Empire

Russia is demanding rubles not only for gas and oil but also for commodities.
the ruble requirement “won’t be demanded across all energy contracts immediately but will be rolled-out across existing contracts over the next weeks and months…”
the European nations who refuse to pay for Russian energy exports with rubles are the very same nations who took part in a “financial system de-platforming” of Russia…
… making it impossible for Russia to use dollars or euros !
meanwhile…the ruble, apparently, is reaching…or has reached… “full recovery”…
👉 the dollar, however, is losing at 2% per month.
👉 that’s a negative interest every month, in your (US dollar) bank account.
👉 the petro dollar is now giving way to the hydrocarbon dollar.

Pressure test your pipes with dry nitrogen instead. Not as much variance with temperature. (Helpfull hints from the HVAC guy…😉)
Comfort Specialist ?
😉 👍 TY
Dry nitrogen follows this law. It’s a gas.
The reason not to use ordinary air is that any water in it will condense as it gets colder, and so there will be less gas (by mass) in the pipe as it gets colder, which means the “n” in the equation isn’t constant.
In my case the air here is already pretty dry in winter so I noticed no (additional) effect from it. But a forty degree temperature swing will have a real effect even using a pure gas, and that’s what I saw.
I’ve been living with the result for fourteen years and there have been no leaks.

Verse of the Day for Saturday, April 2, 2022

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
The contrast here w/ the infanticide exposure video above couldn’t be more stark…
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.

An Experiment On Millions Of People’: Naomi Wolf On Covid Vaccine Data
.
https://warroom.org/2022/03/31/an-experiment-on-millions-of-people-naomi-wolf-on-covid-vaccine-data/
Ms. Wolf mentions it’s clear that the “vaccines” were designed to be a 6-SHOT PROGRAM. So it would then appear that “fully vaccinated” was a LIE, and that only after a “fully vaccinated” person ALSO gets FOUR “booster shots” can they be “approved” as “REALLY fully vaccinated (Rfv).” And by that time, the damage from the spike protein POISON in the “vaccines” will be well-established inside the body.
Are you kidding? By that time, a lot of people will either be dead or gravely injured.
I don’t think Ms. Wolf was kidding. She’s referring to the analysis of the Pfizer-BioNTech data dump by teams of attorneys.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Dr. Luc Montagnier have both said that people who are “vaccinated” will die within a set period of years.
Here’s an article / obituary of Luc Montagnier, who supposedly passed away in February of this year. The last few paragraphs make it clear that he became a pariah in the scientific community when he began to investigate and espouse “alternative” pathways of thought and treatment, like homeopathy.
http://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00653-y
“Luc Montagnier (1932-2022)”
That’s the goal. DePop + eugenic Darwinian challenge.
But Wolf, I think they really fucked up. They left all the smart Conservative fighters ALIVE.
What we have to do is to anticipate their correction.
Been working on that. I’ll bet you have, too 😉
Yup. Could be a matter of life or death. Hope our side is preparing, too, at the highest levels.
Well, if it’s a bioweapon of some kind, there’s only so much we can do. But I don’t know if they’ll try that again. I think maybe this time it will be famine. Worldwide. The setup is in place. It’s a slower way to accomplish the goal, but it does have advantages for them. A whole bunch of people dying from illness all at once is a logistical nightmare.
4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse comes to mind…
Yes, they do.

“We have met the enemy and he is us.” Walt Kelly said it best when he rephrased Commodore Perry’s version IMO.
Yep. That was a great strip. Pogo, Churchy, Owl, and the others…
And a few MTGs to go along as well. Time to “clean (the) House”, and the Senate, Judiciary, state houses, heck, even local governments and the so-called party organizations… which are really UNIparty organizations… Rampant poison ivy they are…
This is a new think tank for me. Anyone else?
The Ukrainian people are the victims thanks to American military complex. This is shameful how could we do this? In any war the population is innocent. We need to start sending those who want war who want to financially benefit from war. This is discussing.
We need to stop fueling the firer of war.
I am not saying Russia is innocent but Zelensky needs to have a spine and save his people.
Japan flips on nuclear — it tried to go Green without it but now wants to reopen closed plants « JoNova (joannenova.com.au)
It will be fascinating to watch the backtracking on nuclear after decades of leftists and environazis slamming it. Just like all other corruption they will pretend like they knew it was the right thing to do all along.
Yeah, I was in local office management for a large power company when 3 Mile Island happened. We had a nuclear unit, which I toured to gain some understanding of the process. After the NRC got through with it post 3 Mile event, despite having a near perfect safety record our staffing went from less than 100 to over 400 in less than a year. Most of the excess staffing went for bureaucracy purposes and a small amount to more on-grounds security. All of it to play into the fear porn of the day.
Our country has been about reacting to fear porn to achieve the ends of globalists almost since its founding.
Follow the money.
Same here in Germany, where Merde-Kuh and the Greens latched onto Fukushima as a valid reason to denuclearize (thereby de-insustrializing) Germany. Never mind the fact that the problems of Fukushima were caused by the Japanese Greens, who forced the power company to store used fuel rods ON SITE, a hazardous practice at best, and a disastrous practice at worst, which is how it turned out.
And, apparently the Physik/Chemie Doctorate-holder Merde-Kuh didn’t know enough German and Geological history to know that Germany has NEVER suffered a Tsumami, save for the Great Flood, which preceeded nukes (and Germany) by millenia… Never let a fake crisis go to waste, as St. Greta the Greenhearted would say….. (n.b. her parents are Satanists, which ties back to the roots of the Green movement in Germany, if not elsewhere)…
We’ve got 16 of 19 reactors shut down; who knows how quickly they can be brought back up (some of them were VERY new, and great technology). Here’s hoping and praying that they can get them going quickly and safely, and leave the pixie dust and unicorn farts for, say, another universe, far, far away…

[Forwarded from BioClandestine (Clandestine RR)]
Anons knew the Biden family are directly involved in the funding of dangerous biological research on deadly pathogens in Ukraine. As suspected, all of those details are on Hunter’s laptop. The hookers and cocaine is merely the tip of the iceberg. The MSM would rather you see that than see what they are ACTUALLY worried about. The real juice on the laptop are the emails proving that the sitting US President is using his son as a proxy to fund bioweapons research in Ukraine. The same deep state network involved in creating C19.
The reason the Hunter Biden laptop is back in the news cycle, is because it’s contents are a key component in the war in Ukraine. Russia claims it moved into Ukraine because the US molecularly altered deadly pathogens to target Russian citizens at these labs in Russia. Putin is directly accusing Biden of planning biological genocide on his people.
Everyone has been asking how we can prove all this. There would need to be a paper trail. Well here it is. The Metabiota and Rosemont Seneca emails show direct evidence that prominent Democrat politicians are using DoD funding for biolabs in Ukraine. Russia went to war over this.
The details are slowly being dripped out. Digestible chunks for the normies to fully grasp the severity and gravity of the situation. This is calculated.
Russia easily could have presented all of this in their first meeting before the UN Security Council, but it was never about convincing the corrupt countries at the UN, but rather convincing THE PEOPLE of what is going on. Court of public opinion. A story is being told and they are strategically spreading out the dissemination of the details so the media can’t cover it up all at once. While simultaneously outing all the corrupt trying to cover this up.
We went from “there are no bioabs in Ukraine” to “The US President is using his son as a proxy to funnel US DoD funds to create bioweapons to target Russian citizens”.
This reality cannot be denied. All that is remaining from the US media/gov is denial. Do not allow them this comfort. Do not let them continue to take part in this farce. Do not allow the normies to ignore this. Biden and many in the US establishment were planning genocide via molecularly altered pathogens. Then went great lengths to cover it up.
The history books will not be kind to this evil. Justice is the only way forward.

“Ukraine denies attacking oil depot in Russia”
https://www.rt.com/russia/553145-ukraine-oil-depot-attack/
One has to ask whose loss is it????🙄
He saw the corruption a long time ago.
Briefing by Igor Konashenkov, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, as of 10 a.m. on April 2, 2022
▪️ Units of the armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic have captured most of NOVOBAKHMUTOVKA and are fighting retreating units of the Ukrainian 25th Separate Airborne Brigade. Up to 40 nationalists, a tank platoon and two motorized infantry platoons, as well as a mortar battery, were destroyed overnight in the area.
▪️ High-precision, long-range airborne and sea-based weapons destroyed the gasoline and diesel fuel storages of the Kremenchuk oil refinery this morning, from which the Ukrainian group of troops in the central and eastern regions of the country were supplied.
▪ High-precision airborne missiles knocked out military airfields in POLTAVA and DNEPROPETROVSK.
Two Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopters were shot down by Russian anti-aircraft defenses near the town of Sumy and the village of Urozhaynoye. Twenty-four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were also destroyed in the air.
▪️ During the night, the Russian Air Force’s tactical aviation and missile forces hit 67 Ukrainian military targets.
▪ These included two command and control posts, two rocket and artillery weapons and ammunition depots, nine field artillery and mortar guns, and 54 areas where AFU combat equipment was concentrated.
A total of 124 aircraft and 84 helicopters, 381 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,882 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 203 multiple rocket launchers, 786 pieces of field artillery and mortars, and 1,764 pieces of special military vehicle equipment have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation.
Just a thought. Might be a good idea to wave the old white flag, hand over the nazis, and become East Switzerland for Vlad there, Z.
One would thinK, however a poster from Scotland brings this:
“The USA to supply Russian styled tanks, possibly via another country to Ukrainian forces, apparently the Nazi’s are familiar with Eastern European weaponry and need little training on them.
The question must which country will the tanks come from and which country will allow them to be smuggled into Ukraine, and will Russia see this as an act of war and attack the country, or will Russia strike the weapons in the country or on the border of the country and UKraine.
“Washington will act as an intermediary to help deliver Soviet-made tanks to Ukraine, the New York Times reported on Friday, quoting a customary unnamed US official. Kiev has been pleading with the West to supply it with heavier weapons since the start of the Russian military campaign, in late February.
The source told the paper that the transfers will begin soon, but declined to specify how many tanks will be sent, or which countries they will come from. Ukrainians are generally familiar with the Soviet-era hardware, which would mean they will need less training in its use.
The news comes a week after President Volodymyr Zelensky asked NATO for “one percent” of its tanks and aircraft. Western countries have been shipping anti-tank missiles to Kiev, but Ukrainian officials are saying it is not enough to fend off the Russian troops.
On Friday, Germany approved the transfer of 56 PbV-501 armored combat vehicles to Ukraine. The vehicles, built in the former East Germany, and designed in the 1960s, are currently owned by a Czech company.”
A poster from Hungary:
“I can’t validate Soviet tanks going to Ukraine but photos are popping up here in Hungary of a shitload of US M1A2 tanks with Nevada National Guard symbols on them on rail cars heading to at least the border with Ukraine and perhaps further. This is despite Orban stating that no weapons or forces will enter Ukraine from Hungary.”
They are making the war worse than it should be. Foolish people revenging old problems into a new world. It is no longer 1956 it is 2020 stop fighting a proxi war Poland and Hungary and Germany. I guess Nazis will be Nazis they are crawling out of the woodwork all over Eastern Europe.
Apparently they have their first hiccup in moving the tanks. I saw this on the Sputnik site but I’d closed the window, so figured I’d do a search and sure enough lots of stories on it.

Now the picture they are using is of an M1A1 Abrahams tank and a caption saying the tanks are coming from an American Cargo vessel that just docked in Northern Greece. The tanks are supposed to go up to Poland, but the workers are in dispute with the company and don’t want to help sending any military hardware to Ukraine.
.
Thanks Para… I’m wondering how they think they can move tanks unnoticed by Russian AF… 😉
There’s always eBay, or Craig’s List (according to Weird Al, (with a tip o’ the hat to The Doors 😀 )
Cuppa… I bet you are a hoot to live with!
Tanks can NOT be moved without being seen. Tanks will travel by rail or trailer.
Surely Russia has intel watching sea ports, rail yards and points the tanks could be loaded on trailers.
Way to easy to take out the rail, trucking / tanks. Easy pickings for Russian AF or Special Operations on the ground.
yes… I agree
“-One of the big stories today is the infamous ‘maternity ward girl’ has in fact come forward. Named Marianne, it turns out she’s from the Donbass and has completely refuted the Ukrop propaganda.
She states in her interview that not only was the maternity not “bombed” by any planes like the fakenews contends (it was “shelled”), but she recounts how Ukrop military stormed the maternity ward, stole all the patients’ food even after she told them they were for the pregnant women, didn’t tell anyone of any attacks and after the “attack”, conveniently the Ukrop soldiers appeared only minutes later already towing western photojournalists and basically used her as a “prop” despite her crying and repeatedly telling them to stop taking photos. In short, it appeared to be a rehearsed psyop event where the photographers were already waiting in the wings for the aftermath, and the pregnant showpiece was perfectly utilized as an object of orchestrated propaganda.”

They break up chains of logistics and supply; they increase inflation and inequality. They decrease [the] well-being of millions of people, [especially] in the poorest countries. And I am just sad about that. It could be leading to massive famine, and who’s going to be responsible for that?”

This one is priceless!
And the winner is INFO WARS! But seriously, how hard was that to figure out?
HUMOR IS BACK!!!
But zelensky says “meh” when questioned on azov and treatment of pows.

VGTRK reporter Evgeny Poddubny seems to confirm this information, but there is no official confirmation or anything yet. Hope it’s just frontline rumors.
Russian war reporter.
Deal is, azov has been well known and established for many years in their cruelty and goals. I lean towards likely true.

NUKE
SWITZERLAND
NOW.
One nuke ends all this shit.
“Neutrality” was always playing all sides against each other.
If they’re neutral, they’re effectively supporting both sides…
Double the profit…
What’s not to like, for the deep state.
BIS et. al. All those international settlements with “a little off the top” (sort of a reverse schlagobers) for the Swiss Banksters…
(guess they chose that acronym so they wouldn’t be confused with “Irritable Bowel Syndrome”…)….
Hows energy and neighborhood talk there?
Yes, while they sit back and divvy any spoils.
YUP. Such a scam.
No, wait for Davos to be full of globalists….
Yes – patience is a virtue!
They must be coming in… it’s snowing here… and will for most of this week…
Although…could we save Lake Geneva? It’s awfully pretty.
Nature recovers quickly! 😀

The economic doctrine promoted by the IMF after the fall of the Berlin Wall brought massive damage to the countries now at war. Prabhat Patnaik looks at how the role of the IMF was instrumental to the advance of Western metropolitan powers in the post-Soviet region.

TRANSCRIPT

I always say the Wall fell in the wrong direction. Instead of the former East Bloc becoming more like the West (or what the West should be like), the West has become more like the former East.
Ironically, it’s folks from the former East Bloc countries who are calling BS on all of the Globalist stuff, and warning us “Wessies” to wise up and stop Schwab-bot and Satan Sauros…
I’ve felt out of place my entire life… not understanding how those around me never saw what I saw, always found my pov to be tin foil… thank goodness for the internet. I at least know I’m not crazy, not alone… that once in a while… I find a “like mind” … a momentary aberration … 😉
WOO-HOO!!!
I didn’t realize there is a rally tonight. Do you all want a thread, or would just posting on the daily do? I can whip one up before moving to my next task.
Whatever suits you is fine with me! I will be on hand for the rally!!!
It’s going to be short and sweet. The town’s communications staff did not think history was important enough to put online.
Excellent! All the easier to find the video! 😉

Interesting…when I went to delete the video from the last rally, the Rumble embed had today’s rally up, not the last one.
Not sure what that is about.
I’ll drop a response you-know-where (low-res version).
You are a sweetheart thank you 🙂
I LUV these… never saw the originals.
