MARK 2:1-12
1And when he returned to Caper’na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. 3And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. 5And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “My son, your sins are forgiven.” 6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? 10But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he said to the paralytic — 11“I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home.” 12And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
SATIRE!

“BREAKING: Trump announces plan to dismantle the censorship regime: 7-year ban on FBI/CIA working for big tech including defunding NGOs and private contractors that receive funding for ‘disinformation’ monitoring”
______________
So beginning in year 8, we’re right back where we are now, and every year thereafter a whole new ‘class’ graduates from their 7 year exile and re-enters the moneydome.
Make the ban permanent.
Take away the incentive for criminals to enter government as a stepping stone to personal wealth.
The system as it currently exists is designed to attract whores and murderers and murdering whores.
Maybe he’s just trying to start a discussion. [only half sarcastic]
A discussion.
Reminds me of a classic Wizard of Id cartoon. One of the King’s servants runs up and exclaims, “Great news, Sire! Only half of your subjects want to see you boiled in oil!”
“What do the other half want?”
“Kerosene.”
The system as it is cannot be fixed. The corruption is too deep. Happens to all “Great” nations so it is all down hill from here. The only question is, is the decline gradual or do we just go over the cliff with a bang. A few decades at most.
“The system as it is cannot be fixed.”

“There is simply no other way than to use the military. It’s that corrupt and dirty.” (excerpt)
If you require the military to “fix” it then that just confirms what I said. And you assume that the military will return the gubmint to its original founding.
It is safer to deal with unarmed thug politicians, then military politicians that are fully armed.
That’s debatable.
Sure. But Scott’s assumptions that the military owes an obligation to come in and save the day will also result in a return to normal. History does not prove that out always. And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?
“And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?”
_____________
The same way we’re dealing with the current gubmint, backed by the same armed military, that has already removed all of our Constitutional protections?
The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs. Why should they? It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.
In fact, the people have continued to elect the same bunch of clowns time after time. This is exactly what happened in CA where I lived for decades. You eventually get out voted. The policies you live under become too much of a burden and you end up with one choice. Leave. Unfortunately I moved to CO which is turning into CA 2.0.
At some point you run out of places to go to. This trend will continue Nation wide. As one CA politician said. People leaving CA is great. It spreads the CA life style and liberalism everywhere else. In my case he would be wrong but not in all cases.
Emphasis added.
It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.
^^^ Zero chance that is true. Dominion. Illegals voting. Mail ballots. Harvesting ballots. NO voter ID. Look at Maricopa’s last election. Courts dismissing cases.
ZERO chance, US election are fair, honest OR WHAT AMERICANS WANT..NONE.
You are correct about the state of the elections. But has the populace done anything about it? No.
So in effect and by default, they have told the cheaters we are fine with it. The election is signed off by the powers that be and everyone goes about their business. In our little world we bitch and moan about it but essentially nothing changes.
Some States have taken action but not the ones we need to make a difference in 2024.
“….But has the populace done anything about it? No….”
….
Well you are certainly NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION.
I have repeatedly brought to this forum evidence of all that is being done.
Here is your HOMEWORK:
Why We Vote Ep 11 – Tue 5:00 PM ET
(Start at 3 minutes)
https://rumble.com/v24pcuq-why-we-vote-ep-11-tue-500-pm-et-.html
Been hearing this stuff for years. Any day now I am sure.
There are at least two trials that I am aware of. Voter rolls are being cleaned up. People are going after counties to get rid of the machines….
There was even a news article screaming about the HORROR of MAGA taking over the precinct committee positions.
You are NOT going to hear any of this on CNN or even Fox News. You have to DIG IT OUT and that is GOOD.
“The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs.”
____________
Exactly.
I did not suggest otherwise in my previous reply.
You asked “And if it does not, then how do you plan to deal with an armed gubmint that has now removed all of your Constitutional protections?”
In response, I answered your question with a question:
“The same way we’re dealing with the current gubmint,”
And continued [implied: current government] “…backed by the same armed military,”
And continued [implied: current government] “…that has already removed all of our Constitutional protections?”
All three points were in reference to the current gubmint. It is the lawless, rogue, renegade gubmint which removed (ignores) our Constitutional protections.
The military just sat idly by and let it happen, just as you said:
“The military has done nothing to interfere with the current state of affairs.”
This is your problem. You believe this.
It is the lawless, rogue, renegade gubmint which removed (ignores) our Constitutional protections.
The current gubmint and military does not believe what you do. The population does not either because they are going about their day. Business as usual.
Once you convince them, maybe you will get the action you are looking for.
“This is your problem. You believe this.”
_________
It’s not about me.
But since you have no actual argument, all you have is to try to make it about me.
It has nothing to do with what I believe, anymore than what I believe has anything to do with what the cops are obligated to do with a bank robber.
My thoughts about it don’t matter, the cops have a duty and obligation to act, whether I exist, or not.
Your position amounts to contending that as long as a victim of robbery doesn’t stop the robber himself, and as long as the public doesn’t stop the robber either, then no robbery took place, and the police have no duty to do anything.
That’s just beautiful.
Your ignorant statements as always. You are the one claiming there is a crime. Meanwhile, all the powers that be are focused on prosecuting J6 protesters. Sort of the opposite end of the spectrum.
You are screaming fire and they do not even see smoke.
“It is pretty obvious that the majority of people are electing the type of gubmint that they want.”
____________
Pretending not to know things again?
Like pretending not to know about the rigged Dominion voting machines?
Pretending not to know about foreign government interference (Germany, Spain, Vatican City, China among others) in relation to the Dominion voting machines?
Pretending not to know about the security camera footage of election workers pulling boxes of ballots from under tables after sending non-conspirators out of the room?
Pretending not to know that Soros has backed judges and District Attorneys all over the country to facilitate the steal (among other treasonous acts)?
Pretending not to know about the testimony of obvious voting ‘irregularities’?
Pretending not to know about the evidence presented by Mike Lindell?
Pretending not to know about the evidence presented by Dinesh D’Souza in the film 2000 Mules?
As has been observed by many before, to be a liberal, you have to pretend not to know certain things.
But to believe that the majority of people are electing “the type of gubmint that they want“, you have to pretend not to know a lot of things.
You still don’t get it. What does it matter if all that is true. Whether we believe all of that or not matters little.
The gubmint is installed as is. The cheat was obvious in 2020. Repeated again in 2022. The people did nothing in most places. Some States did. Most did nothing.
You want to blame the military for doing nothing to correct any of this. And yet the people who in theory this gubmint is all about are acting as if it is perfectly fine.
Talk to them.
“If you require the military to “fix” it then that just confirms what I said.”
____________
I don’t require anything, your argument is with Q.
Or perhaps the logic is in seven years it’s unlikely to be the same people running the organization.
The agencies and bureaucrats run the country. In theory under the control of the politicians. It is clear that the administrative State pays no mind to the politicians because they either come and go or they are paid off nicely by big business at the direction of the bureaucrats.
Has anyone seen any indication that Congress is willing to do anything to real any of these folks in. They have one power. Money. And it flows steadily every year with annual increases. And I believe the FBI just received funding for a new bigger and better HQ in D.C.

Yup. Disposable Old White Guy is disposable.

LOL!!!
They did the right thing, but this is going nowhere. At least votes are on record though.
The votes are only on record because they knew it was going nowhere.
If it could actually go somewhere, the votes would suddenly vanish.
That’s the game.
Whose votes are you referring to? I think Repubs would vote for this in any case.
Not sure about the RINOs.
Karl explained it well the other day.
Karl Denninger: “One of the problems is that functionally none of it, at present, is real. Literally zero. This is the same issue that arose with Obamacare; the GOP voted up repeal time after time, knowing that The Senate would not concur and if it somehow did the President (who’s name it bore) would obviously veto.
As soon as that was no longer true, in 2017, the votes instantly stopped. This is absolute proof that exactly zero of the persons in that chamber prior to 2020 ever intended to repeal Obamacare; they lied from the first day about their intentions.
May I remind you that McCarthy was first elected to Congress in 2006 and held a leadership position in the Republican Party caucus since 2009 — that is, for the entire period of Obama’s Presidency forward.“
McCain sabotaged MEGA and Trump by voting no repealing Obama care.
The Rinos American People voted in and also Democrats fought trump for 4 years plus intel community. MEGA candidates are the way. We have lots of work to do. Only We the People can change things. Gaetz and the 20 showed is how. Stay strong vote common sense not emotion no more Bush, Clinton Obama or Biden. We the People need to vote smart.
AND BECOME ACTIVE IN CLEANING UP OUR STATES STARTING AT THE COUNTY LEVEL…
Yes mine is Trump county.
Uh huh. R-Cons are both a protected class AND a coward class. I’ll give the 20 credit. The rest, not so much.
Waiting to see how many of them assholes for Billions more for Ukraine.

See look at ME I feel your pain.
More BS.
No kidding! Up 30%+ in my opinion.
And in some cases DOUBLED!
Karl Denninger(1-12-23): “If you want to see absolute garbage look at the index for eggs, which they claim was up 11.1% last month. In reality they’ve doubled over the last couple of months, so if you think there’s anything “real” about these figures and they’re not “cooked” to suit the Biden administration you need another hit of whatever your favorite hallucinogen might be.
Let’s look just there; eggs are claimed to be up 60% over the last 12 months. Please tell me where you can buy them for $1.60/dz because they were 99 cents a year ago here and now they’re $4!“
Testing to see if this old Bitchute video publishes…..
https(colon)//www.bitchute(dot)com/video/nP5ssbtx3AmQ/
still brutal…has Anyone “verified” his story???
Not that I know of.
The “200,000” thing sounds bogus. On the other hand, it would be EASY for a trial of any number to be 99% killed, if they got mRNA therapy equivalent to 2 or 3 times the higher Pfizer or Moderna doses. Basically, the “bad batches” of the COVID vaxes are very close to fulfilling his story. Increase the dose, and they WOULD kill at that rate.
So we HAVE the poison – we just don’t have the crime.
We do know that mRNA therapies were FAILING big-time for Moderna, prior to the Plandemic. Bad enough that the companies were going bankrupt. Why were they failing? Well, maybe they were killing patients.
But how many patients?
So the story is TECHNICALLY plausible, IMO, but the numbers – 200K – that’s not plausible, IMO. Is the guy misinterpreting something his docs told him? Maybe.
I suspect that his much smaller trial is the one with the high rate of death, and that the 200K trial participants refers to all the patients in mRNA failed trials – NOT all the patients who actually had heart stoppage or even true risk of heart stoppage.
Thus, I suspect that there is a nasty reality under the story, but it’s not 99% of 200K dying.
That seems a Reasonable assessment, but PROOF would be nice!!!

Man it would be fun to be able to run that fast… by the time he gets to the grass it looks like he’s going at least 70mph 😂
Shelties can sprint in the region of 15-19 miles per hour.
Huh, I thought they were a lot faster.
My Saddlebreds could TROT 14 mph while hauling my wagonette (we timed them) a Standardbred can trot 30 mph and a race horse gallops at 40 mph. (The fastest recorded galloping speed is 55 mph)
There are rumors of cheating husbands fleeing frying pan wielding wives at close to 80mph. But they’re just rumors.
Who wants to chase a cheating husband? I would run the other way 🙂
run over?
That also but then he would not be worth the effort. 🙂
Yeah, but that was IN HUNTER’s Corvette.
It’s 50 years this year – so I thought I’d post Secretariat’s 1973 Belmont. In one of the bios of Jack Nicklaus there’s a story about him weeping in front of the television at this perfection. Those triple crown times will never be broken. 😊
There is a video compilation of Secretariat’s 3 Triple Crown victories. I have it pinned for those times when I get a little overwhelmed. Every single time I watch that Belmont race, I am on the edge of my seat and it always brings tears to my eyes. Simply am astounding performance.
Yes, I saw that when searching. 👍🏻 And the announcer says “Secretariat is moving like a tremendous machine . .” — there will never be anything like it again. Our LITTLE red, local Smarty Jones was the closest thing, at least for me, this century. And even he is 22 this year (his run was 2004). I believe, although they’ve all got a bloodline from the famous ones, that he’s a great-grandson of Secretariat on the sire side.
Gingersmom, Yes, I followed Smarty Jones! He was fun to watch!
😊
Hate to say it, but the better races were Affirmed and Alydar in 1978. Yeah, Secretariat set records that will never be broken, but the other two…wire to wire racing.
“Huh, I thought they were a lot faster.”

Yeah, I’m not buying it either, not if the fastest human can run an average speed of 23.35 mph over 100 meters 😂

How Fast Is the World’s Fastest Human?
By Kara Rogers
“In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100-meter sprint at 9.58 seconds. For those of us more accustomed to sitting than sprinting, to translate this feat into terms of speed is to simply underscore the stunning nature of Bolt’s performance.
Speed is the rate at which an object (or person) moves through time. It is represented mathematically as speed = d/t (in which d is distance and t is time). That means that Bolt’s speed during his world-record run was 10.44 meters per second. Since many people are more familiar with automobiles and speed limits, it might be more useful to think of this in terms of kilometers per hour or miles per hour: 37.58 or 23.35, respectively.
That’s faster than the estimated average traffic speed for the U.S. cities of Boston, New York City, and San Francisco.
Even more astounding is the fact that Bolt started from a speed of zero and then had to accelerate, which means that his top speed actually was faster.”

A little classic prog — “The Musical Box” —
The essential setup is that there is an antique musical box on an antique shelf in an antique house inhabited by an antique spirit. When wound and opened, it plays “Old King Cole”….
The spirit in the box, once known for its powers of seduction, has been imprisoned within for so long that it has difficulty with persuasion. When it is opened by a young girl, it initially sings sweetly, then begins to command. Just before it gets to “Eleven, ELEVEN, ya COW!!!”, the box is swept off the shelf and broken, and the spell and spirit are dispersed.
As a band, this was the golden age of Genesis — Steve Hackett on lead guitar, Mike Rutherford on bass/guitar, Phil Collins (looking like a total stoner) on backing vocals and drums, Tony Banks on keyboards (except on 12-string guitar for the first half of this song), and Peter Gabriel on lead vocals, flute, tambourine, bass drum, and general weirdness.
Mind you, they were all in their 20’s when they did this.

PCR appears to be blaming the Russians for not acting quickly enough in the past. I think that’s a bit unfair being as it was the west that instigated the ukraine color revolution in the first place.
But if his reasoning of the eventual outcome is correct. Could it possibly be that FBJ’s document hoard “discovery” is a way to get FBJ out and use his exit to put the blame on him and end involvement in ukraine.

I think PCR is missing a lot.
Like that Ball guy that keeps interviewing Col Macgregor. Hasn’t a clue about what the war is about. With Ball it’s all about “My Money” and he can’t see or won’t say it’s Nationalism vs Globalism.
More governmental disruption?
It’s official: Everywhere in science there’s a mysterious lack of ground-breaking papers « JoNova (joannenova.com.au)
Disconcerting. Reasons given are everything between Era of the Mid Wits to Govt Control (Group Think).
I’d lean to the later but the former is not ruled out as it’s part of the process of the later. Since much of new research happens in public & private institutions (edu and biz) one has to assume the big player here is WEF since it has it’s totalitarian mitts in both pots and thus the era of free thinking has been squashed and is coming to an end, meaning stagnation of innovation across the board. Instead of moving into the Diamond Age we move into a Dumber Darker Brittle Age. It’s somewhat akin to the Islamification of the world. I’d go further to suggest there will be a further claw back of existing innovations from the masses and unless it feeds WEF’s purposes it doesn’t happen.
I should do an article. I have a lot of opinions about this.
looking forward to your insights!
Would enjoy reading this one!
Part of it goes back to the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980. That was when technological development was all but transferred from commercial R&D labs to the universities. That killed the end goal of profiting from technology.
Another aspect is the consolidation of the Military Industrial Complex. Science done outside of it and government sponsored labs is increasingly rare.
I’ve said for a long time that if the US falls, that’s all going to be part of it. We’re coasting on technological breakthroughs from the 1970s other than AI, which is problematic and TPTB know it.

Mini ground report
We were back at the University of Michigan hospital complex on Tuesday for my son Josiah’s liver transplant clinic appointment. The hospital continues the mask fiction (but prior to the scamdemic this was fairly standard in flu season). Since we were still recovering from our nasty “cold” & coughing a decent amount I didn’t balk at it. I kept it Below my nostrils the entire time & No one said anything!
There seemed to be a few more people than previously in the hallways, but nothing like pre-plannedemic numbers. The waiting room area continued with paper notices every other seat, even on half of “love seats” warning not to sit there for social distancing purposes. They continued to block access to the check-in desks by a barricade of leaning chairs…I bypassed it by going to the end & speaking to staff around the plastic shield barrier, whatever.
We got J’s blood drawn at the hospital lab (we were the only ones in the lab too, pretty unusual at that time of day & the lab by the entrance was even closed so this could reflect significantly diminished hospital traffic overall) & the bulk of his numbers were unavailable during the appointment, sadly. His white cell count was elevated, likely due to the lingering illness, so that impacted their interpretation of his liver status. We’ll need to get another blood draw in a few weeks, at least a week after he’s completely done with the “cold” & see where things stand then. It’s possible at that point they Might try to lower some of his meds. He’s been on Cellcept now longer since the rejection bout than he was following the original transplant process. He’s also taking double the Prograf/tacrolimus dosage than he had prior to rejection 2 1/2 years ago. He’ll likely remain on Ursadiol for the long term for that drug is not too hard on the system & has some good liver outcomes.
He’d been running low on one of his BP meds & his BP #s still looked good. He’s been off his other BP med about half a year now & that seems to be not impacting him negatively, thankfully, I completely forgot to ask about Ivermectin usage for him so that discussion will likely pend to next time, in about 6 months.
J’s wife came with us for the first time & was pleased to get a bit of exposure to some of his medical needs more directly. I’d pulled out the previous discharge paperwork & J & his wife were discussing the many diagnoses listed. Later his wife admitted that she & her mother recognize that I am more expert on my son’s medical needs than they are so they will perhaps not be so controlling in this arena. It was one of the significant areas of concern leading up to son’s moving out of their HH in that he didn’t feel safe with them trying to “wrest control” of medical management from me…
J went w/ his wife the next day to her local infusion appointment to provide support & to also be learning more about his wife’s medical needs. This seems a positive development to me as they continue to work through their issues.
J’s MIL has been out of town w/ her sister in the hospital in Virginia following a stroke. I believe that this aunt is “jab injured” but don’t know it for a fact…
I’ve been meaning to mention the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ agenda on display at the public library. Periodically I’ll check the new book selections in the young adult area. They prominently display “Rainbow” stickers on the spine to designate gay agenda characters. There have been a number of YA books I’ve read sans rainbow that also have a main gay character…sigh. Yesterday there were 19 rainbows for 82 books, nearly 25%! Previously I’d counted & the numbers were closer to 10%. I don’t know if this means they are getting more teen gay books, are marking more of them, or the rainbows mean less checkouts (like for me, I won’t even reach for these books) so that the percentage is artificially high given more “normal” books checked out & rainbows ignored. This designation appears to just be in the teen books, not kids, & not adults. I know the library system (regional metro-Detroit w/ 3+ dozen libraries) has gay agenda books for younger kids for I’ve checked some out (like drag queen storybooks geared for elementary kids–yuck) & is continuing to get trans & other depraved agenda items for more & more young kids… 😡
I hit the local church provided food bank for the first of 2 pass outs for January. Arriving about halfway through the distribution time there was a very short line. The food offerings were also lesser this time too. There was no fresh fruit & just a bag of onions & a cabbage for fresh veggies. The did have a gallon of milk but no eggs or cheese nor powdered milk. This was definitely diminished from previous pass outs so this is likely due to the increased grocery costs for the Gleaners distribution center. The salvation message was back with a lovely listing of relevant scriptures by one of the volunteers. There was no prayer offered again, though it used to be a staple in the summer & fall. They had Many volunteers who were very kind in their interactions.
Our guest remains with us, going on 2 months now. I haven’t yet approached him about taking IVM, since it hasn’t caused me any issues, being the household guinea pig. Hubby is concerned for his friend & can tell that he has significant mental/emotional impact that wasn’t there the last time we saw him a few years ago. It remains likely, or at least possible, that he is “jab injured” to some degree. He took the J & J early on in Texas because of job pressures (he worked in healthcare at that time) though was not mandated. His estranged wife has taken numerous shots as her job is affiliated with a nursing school & she feels pressure to comply in that arena. They do not appear to have any mental discomfort with the jabs. I share data about the side effects periodically with our guest but I don’t know if he really believes any of what I share…
Next weekend our son Brandon’s Canadian girlfriend is supposed to be in town & we are to gather the extended clan for Christmas part 2. It should be a time of fun, fellowship, & good food. After that gathering we’ll get visual Christmas out of our hair & get our home back more toward its “normal” setting, in time to relieve just a bit of cabin fever that’s pretty ubiquitous this time of year.
Oh hubby noticed on one store run that one brand of milk had the 2% about $5/gallon while another brand had whole milk for about half that amount. Several areas of the grocery aisles were Extremely picked over with whole sections being empty. Don’t know if this is standard now or more because of holiday demands.
Hope all is well with ALL Q-Treepers. God is good, He will continue to help see us through, no matter what’s coming down the pike. Blessings to All! ❤
OK, so not as “mini” as we could hope 🙄
Too mini isn’t good! 😅
Good ground report! Thank you!
Sounds like Josiah is now a member of a “medical intermarriage” – with double MIL issues (“infusion” perks up my ears – I may have missed the bride’s issues). Sounds like they’re adapting to the realities of that situation. That’s OK – marriage takes work! Very glad to hear that things are being worked out there. 🙏
Infusion is for “colitis” that is a fairly recent development for the bride, but it did at least begin before the scamdemic. She’s had A Lot of digestive issues so currently is living as a vegan after eating regular food for 30+ years…hmmm….
!!!WHEAT!!!
My digestive problems, acid reflux and other problems disappeared after I gave up wheat. Came right back if I eat a sandwich esp near bed time.
Wheat & sugar gives me a lot of gas too. Rice and yogurt help a lot in re-adjusting my gut bacteria so my gut problems have gone away.
She should try completely dropping all wheat products for a week or so to see f it helps.
I think she already is “gluten free” so doesn’t that mean that she’s avoiding meat? Thanks for the tip!
In having yet another discussion w/ the couple I reminded her that my/our perspective before they married was that each spouse would continue to have their medical needs primarily managed by their family of origin, regardless of where they lived. We had No Intention of interfering w/ our DIL’s issues. That was not at all how her family approached our son. It was Very Bizarre & they were in extreme denial of the level & complexity of issues he faced, which really came to a head in the incident(s) leading to Josiah moving back in with us (temporarily?)…Prayer is still needed for there are still outstanding significant issues that remain unresolved…
Good – sounds like they had made assumptions necessary for their control of daughter – likely (I’m speculating) which would keep her in a position to take care of them, or some other important aspect of their being a “stakeholder” in the marriage.
I sure as hell hope the in-laws were not trying to transition Josiah to Baby Castro’s mercurial, mercenary, and murderous Canadian healthcare system. That system is about 2-3 years out from asking transplant patients to commit suicide as the first step of treatment.
Canada issues are w/ J’s twin. That would be a serious nightmare for sure. I don’t know what the issues with the other family are but there are significant disabilities for multiple people so that’s a factor it seems…plus some cultural misunderstandings–J’s MIL is Mexican…
frankly some stuff appears to be connected to someone being an extreme “control freak”, plus having come to Christ later in life so lots of “old man” stuff lingering about…
I always laugh when you say you’re the family guinea pig. Trepidation can be involved with that job, and it takes some courage!
Well given that I’m currently not working if things go poorly for me it won’t affect things Too Much around here!
Glad I could make you laugh, even just a little 🙂
“Well given that I’m currently not working if things go poorly for me it won’t affect things Too Much around here!”

That definitely would not be true, not there or here.
So good thing IVM makes you more better 👍😁
Thx Scott…I’ve still got a way to go to kick this “crud”, let alone the longhaulers…sigh…
Did you take a follow up dose 48 hours after the first one?
Are you not feeling noticeably better?
I didn’t know you were still sick, I thought you had recovered already. I hope you feel better soon!
Yes I took a follow-up dose in 48 hours & just took a 3rd dose about a week after #2. I’m Slowly on the mend but this has been going on almost 2 weeks now. It’s the first time I’ve been full blown sick since I had “covid” more than 2 years ago though so I’m thankful to have gone so long without major illness!
I’m sorry you’re not feeling better (and better sooner). I’m wondering why the IVM is not acting more quickly.
My response to IVM has been as fast or faster than anyone else I’ve read about so far, I was feeling 70-80% better in about 12 hours besides the lingering cough, and 100% better after a few days (except for the cough).
My system has always responded very fast and very strongly to antibiotics too, for whatever that means. Like being too sick to get out of bed in the morning, to being able to go out with friends 8-10 hours later, after taking antibiotics. I’m pretty sure that’s not normal 😁
OTOH, two weeks seems like an awfully long response time for IVM, if it was going to work.
And there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work, if what you have is covid or a similar virus (IVM should be effective against any seasonal flu type virus, as I understand it).
If you are not noticeably better by next week, please remember to mention it. People here who are much more knowledgeable than I am about these things may have some ideas about what might be wrong or ideas about what else you might try.
Feel better soon!
Thanks Scott. When I got covid 2 1/2 years ago it hit me harder & longer than anyone else in the family, pretty rough for about 3 weeks. I have a couple “co-morbidities” that may make me a tougher case to heal. I also didn’t specifically take all the extra recommended supplements from some of the covid protocols.
I’m Definitely over the worst of it, thankfully. My “cold” may have been compounded by a sinus infection too, based on symptoms. We’ve got to get our insurance situation settled down in case it becomes necessary to see a doc/quack in the event we cannot heal ourselves…eventually 😉
I have been looking into Christian co-ops as an alternative to regular insurance. It seems like a viable alternative, but it’s hard to be confident about something like that by reading online reviews, without hearing from someone you know who has personal experience.
And as far as I know, I don’t know anybody who does.
Yeah it’s seemingly one of those buyer beware scenarios. Could be too good to be true or just what the doctor ordered!

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

This kind of technology looks like it would be a tremendous blessing for those who are impaired and can’t speak or move. I can imagine how miraculous it would seem to have such abilities restored, even if in a different form. But as always, if evil, power-seeking people are in charge of something, they will use it for evil. The fight against that evil is never-ending.

He is missing the history of the independent American Farmers vs the USDA. I refer to it as the ‘Farm Wars’ ALL the information I presented here in articles came from these farmers and their supporters.
Realize the backlash AGAINST the USDAs NAIS push was so strong that it made it into the top 15 concerns handed to Oh!Bummer! JUST BEFORE HIS FIRST TERM.

That’s Very Encouraging news!!!

Sounds plausible.
It also sounds plausible to me that this is a “twofer” setup.
Hit Trump, find docs on Biden, prosecute Biden, use that as an excuse to both get rid of him and prosecute Trump.
We’ll see what happens.
Here’s a THIRD take, by Cernovich…..
Too Narrow, too Static.
Controlled Opposition… I think that was made clear a LONG time ago.
Yeah, it’s not floating my boat!
“They view DeSantis as more of a threat than Trump”? No.
Biden took the docs when he was a VP …
The President (NOT the VP) can declassify anything
Trump did nothing criminal. Biden, on the other hand, did.
Of course if you are part of a coup, the law doesn’t apply to you… there is no law, except what you say.
And another take …
from rt yesterday … got to love snowden…
“Worth noting that the President seems to have absconded with more classified documents than many whistleblowers,” Snowden wrote, comparing the situation with the case of Reality Winner who “was sentenced to 5 YEARS for just one document.” The former NSA translator was convicted in 2018 of leaking a report about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections.
“Meanwhile Biden, Trump, Clinton, Petraeus… these guys have dozens, hundreds [of documents]. No jail,” the whistleblower added.
Snowden went on to say that “the real scandal isn’t that Biden had classified documents coming out of his socks, because sadly they’ve all been doing it. The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage.”
(phoenix: yeah … how ’bout that last comment from Snowden? The ‘real scandal’? Yes indeed. The DoJ suppressed… and some think Biden will be removed? I don’t see that happenin’ … regardless whether it does or not, the Neocons will still be running the gov’t, esp the Oval office. )
“I don’t see that happenin”
Yes, people are applying static thinking, not seeing the dynamism that will likely come into play. If anyone has a lock box on congress critters and burrorats you can bet Biden has one and it’s loaded with the latest, juiciest info. Unless he’s going away willingly, then more then likely he’ll have to be carried out.
“…then more then likely he’ll have to be carried out.”

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Dems are long term plotters/schemers/planners. They knew all along how long they’d keep Creepy installed, and always had it planned on if/when/how the removal would commence. They have it mapped out like a flowchart. Election Win-Lose Prep/Continue To Dirty Trump step was the MAL raid. They’re on the ‘lose the mid-terms’ = Yes/Install the Hoe path now which means Joe’s gotta Go, cuz the Repubs are on our azzes looking into our crimes.
Now, the question is, besides being dummer than dirt, what actual dirt do they have on the Hoe? Gonna take more than Willie Brown. Dig deep Anons.
I think Cackles’ fake LEO scandal is the big one. Nobody has cracked what she was doing there.
Well, combine that with people saying she’s actually HIGH all the time, when she’s being juvenile.

The US Industrial Complex Is Starting to Buckle From High Power Costs
Surging bills are forcing companies to scale back industrial operations
“Last summer, some 600 workers at Century Aluminum Company in Hawesville, Kentucky, America’s second-largest aluminum mill–accounting for 20 percent of US supply–received pink slips after the plant’s electricity bill tripled in just a few months.
A letter from Century Aluminum to some employees in Hawesville shows they are stopping operations for up to a year due to the rise in global energy prices (https://www.14news.com/2022…. The letter shows this will mean layoffs for 628 Hawesville smelter employees, including 504 union members.”
Just how important is the facility?
“The Hawesville facility is the largest Century Aluminum smelter in the US and the largest producer of military-grade aluminum in North America (https://centuryaluminum.com…,” according to the company’s website.
And that mill isn’t the only one affected. Per Bloomberg:
“At least two steel mills have begun suspending some operations to cut energy costs (https://www.bloomberg.com/n…, according to one industry executive, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

Of course it is. THEY WANT THE USA DEAD DEAD DEAD!!!
That is why our industry and intellectual property was gradually moved to CHINA over the last thirty years. We are now in the final stages of the killing of the USA, the wiping out of the last industry and killing off the people.
I wonder how many Communists have flooded over our border and are now in place to deliver the coups de grace?

If the military announced that they had just arrested every member of all three branches of government, I would celebrate like my team just won the national championship.
If the military announced that all but the MAGA members resisted to the death, it would be a new Independence Day celebration.
I have followed your many comments regarding the role of the military in defending and protecting the first principles of our nation’s founding. I have also read of the occasional debates arising from those comments. I have been, from the beginning, mostly in agreement with your position but not always. I am confident that your true position on the military’s place in all this is much more sophisticated than can be easily translated into words. Therefore I will not quibble over the imprecision of our words when we write about such important concepts. As to what you have written above I share your desire that the vital institutions of this country would begin to remember that freedom is the responsibility for which they were formed and should return to post haste.

Robert, I apologize for the delay. I began a reply the other day when I found your post, and my PC froze up, which has happened several times in recent days.
The only thing I can do is a hard reboot of the PC (push the power switch at the PC to turn the PC off with all programs still running).
When I got back online, I was distracted by something and forgot your post. Then I remembered it last night when I was trying to fall asleep, and as luck would have it, I remembered it again when I woke up. I found the thread, and the post, and left it open until l had a chance to reply.
I have always supported our military, which in part is why I am so profoundly disappointed in what has happened.
I want to support the military, but I cannot begin to come up with an excuse or legitimate reason why they allowed a lawless transfer of Constitutional power.
If a military is responsible for protecting and defending a nation, that most certainly includes attack by infiltration and subversion.
If a military is competent (and ours certainly is), then they know far more about the corruption and criminality that has taken place, then we ever will.
So with full knowledge and responsibility, the military sat on its hands on January 20, 2021 and allowed a lawless puppet to be installed as leader of the USA, and now the military takes orders from this puppet, who is controlled by enemies of our Republic, both foreign and domestic.
I am unable to come up with a justification for this dereliction of duty, and I have not seen one credibly presented.
I have seen several excuses, but none have withstood credible scrutiny.
The only remotely plausible explanation I have heard is that the military is allowing things to unfold, in order to gather evidence, after which, at some point, the white hats will ride in and save the day, or some variation of that theme.
The problem with that explanation is never in the history of the world has any nation knowingly allowed itself to be taken over and (effectively) occupied by hostile foreign adversaries at the highest positions of power and authority. For what should be reasons which are obvious to all.
It would literally be some new thing under the sun.
The other problem is the damage that is currently resulting from such an explanation, to include the plundering of our nation (e.g., hundreds of billions to Ukraine money laundering, as only one example), the opening of our borders to allow foreign combatants to invade unopposed, and most stunning of all, allowing millions of Americans to be murdered with a poison that is being promoted as a vaccine.
That last one can never be undone, unless the military has a way to bring the dead back to life.
Assuming they don’t have such power, then the military’s actions have already resulted in:
A) the loss of the Republic and the Constitution of the United States as a real and authoritative entity
B) the loss of more Americans than in all wars and conflicts combined, in the history of our nation
This is either the greatest defeat in the history of nation states, or if they really are waiting for the right time to strike — and purposely allowed more Americans to die than in all previous conflicts combined — the situation must be so incredibly dire that it is insane not to enlighten and enlist the public to win the war and save the Republic.
I would love to be wrong, but I am unable to come up with any credible scenario which suggests the military didn’t lay down and surrender without a fight, on January 20, 2021.

It appears that Mr. Kirsch was called out on this tweet, since it was made by another person entirely, not by the late Ms. Presley?
He didn’t say “Ms. Presley”, so I don’t blame him. He very carefully called her by her user name – “Lisa Marie”. I’ve known a few of those!
OK – but it’s clear now that he thought it WAS…..
https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1613808991142019072
He owned it. His assessment is spot on.
People who believe in the TRUTH do not hesitate to make corrections when they realize they were incorrect.
Steve Kirsch just went up a few more notches in my estimation. (And he was already way up there!)
I like that he’s not deleting it, too – it needs to be out there.
Yes. I prefer a corrected error remain out there with clear indication right there that it is an error so it can’t trap the unwary. I don’t like the memoryholing of such things; it smacks too much of never admitting to a mistake even while correcting them.
I was once on a forum that had really strict moderation when it came to how users were to behave towards each other. The problem is, when anyone broke those rules, the management would wipe all trace of the argument out, so no one could see what so-and-so had done. So everyone would wonder why he (or she) had been banned.
For instance when I finally quit arguing with a walking socialist ulcer who was trying to bully me (threatening me unless I agreed with his logical fallacy) and reported him, it all went down the memory hole, 20 back-and-forth exchanges including the one where he finally tried to threaten me (he had light moderator privileges).
Back in 2015, when I had my cybersecurity incident, I had been attacked by someone whose nic was “Ira Weatheral”, who continued to comment on the blog. So I would goad this person lightly, and copy-and-paste the exchanges into a file that I hoped to take to the District Attorney as probable cause to raid his home and computers…..
And, then, he got banned, and all of his messages vanished from the blog — along with any provenance I might demonstrate.
[I realized then that most such bannings do not actually destroy the data, but merely unlink it. I did not consider it reasonable to try to subpoena the blog owner for access to “deleted” comments.]
So, yes — I feel your pain. Getting banned washed him clean.
Just was told that. Ty for the help.
You can’t really blame her. She was drawing a silver lining on a very dark storm cloud. That is what some do when evidence accumulates that you made the wrong decision about something important. Make the best of it kiddo.
Regardless of who posted it, Mar 12, 2022. Fourteen months after Jabs were Heavily Pushed, Coerced into arms.

Get Ready for ‘Climate Change Death’ Tracking
Tim O’Brien
With Covid more or less spent as a coercive lever, the regime needs a new body count to justify continued undemocratic policymaking and execution. Climate change stands at the ready. So be prepared to start hearing about “climate change death” numbers.
https://americanmind.org/salvo/get-ready-for-climate-change-death-tracking/
I love the phrase “coercive lever” – an effective descriptor.
The Left needs the metric to justify removing more of your rights.
. . .
Seriously, I don’t doubt that many deaths in summer will be attributed to heat-related injuries.
Heat stroke is legitimate in a state like Texas. While people are prepared to take precautions in extreme cold, faced with extreme heat, people typically try to knuckle through it.
When you have a population whose hearts and circulation are severely weakened and strained by, ahem, “prior damage,” then it’s not a stretch to see even ordinary people overexerting themselves in triple-digit heat (+40 degrees C for those living under cabal regime lands) with a spike in medical events and deaths across a spectrum of ages, sexes, and ethnicities.
So here we go. We have a legit problem (heart failure) that expresses as an environmental issue (heat stroke). The next step is to assert false causation.
“It’s Global Warming. We didn’t listen!”
^^^ I listened. I called B U L L S H I T. ^^^
Our task is, collectively call BS. ALWAYS push back. ZERO, Go Along To Get Along.
They have that body count, with vax deaths. They just have to connect those to “climate.” There have been attempts to do that, but they look foolish in the extreme.

Sanctuary State California: Gov. Gavin Newsom Authorizes Border Crossers to Police Americans as Cops

Am sure these type of thing are done to try and get a reaction, small scale buffalo jumps.
That is a distinct possibility.
Meanwhile this was the last post before I had to go do chores so gave it some more thought.
If you recall two of Lavarov’s New Year Predictions for 2023 were that California and Texas would attempt to break away from the Union. Texas you might understand, deplorables are clearly not happy with our state of affairs. Still seems a bit out there considering where we are right now, but California? Doesn’t seem to be in the realm of reason…. unless… we are talking about something more like a La Rasa spurred event. These dumb jerks on the left have opened the borders wide open. We are being flooded. At some point the flood is going to demand political power. This Newsome thing may well be his bending the knee to their desire for that political power. Lavarov makes sense now. Doable this year I’d still doubt but it’s in the cards for as soon as they can be allowed to get away with it. Now shudders to think about that type scenario happening with Texas, but supposedly the great migration is still in mid stream.
Okay, back to chores. This has been an unauthorized break and I don’t want to die suddenly 😆
That was beyond the scope of my memory, I had to go back and check. I think it was Medvedev who made that prediction, but that’s according to the DM so no guarantee of accuracy. He was well off target with his gas and oil price prophesy so there’s that.
It was Medvedev quoting Lavarov if my memory serves. I think I went back and took a closer look as the New Year Predictions seemed somewhat out of place for Medvedev.

Yellen tells Congress US expected to hit debt limit Thursday | AP News
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen notified Congress on Friday that the U.S. is projected to reach its debt limit on Thursday and will then resort to “extraordinary measures” to avoid default.
In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Yellen said her actions will buy time until Congress can pass legislation that will either raise the nation’s $31.4 trillion borrowing authority or suspend it again for a period of time.
Those measures include divesting some payments, such as contributions to federal employees’ retirement plans, in order to provide some headroom to make other payments that are deemed essential, including those for Social Security and debt instruments.
“Failure to meet the government’s obligations would cause irreparable harm to the U.S. economy, the livelihoods of all Americans, and global financial stability,” she said. “Indeed, in the past, even threats that the U.S. government might fail to meet its obligations have caused real harms, including the only credit rating downgrade in the history of our nation in 2011.”
Yellen said that while Treasury can’t estimate how long the extraordinary measures will allow the U.S. to continue to pay the government’s obligations, “it is unlikely that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted before early June.”
Just going to raise it. All the dems will vote plus East coast rino’s. Non-story here.
So they were poised to fight for concessions in September when it comes up, but they’ll just do nothing now since it’s early? 🙄
How about First in First Out?
If it’s a normal thing pay it, if it’s something not normal like all the boon doggales, nice to haves and stimulus stuff just don’t do it. Yeah, Ukraine is in there along with all the COVID junk. I’m sure the House is ready and willing to go through all past spending bills and red line the needless stuff and things that should be waited on. What’s that, pay for trans surgery? Nope. No can do. BLM & Gay Pride awareness stuff ? Nope.. not a priority, Senator Baskervilles new tennis court for squirls? will have to wait… New IRS agents? Maybe someday over the rain bow.
Reclaim all the damn budgets and grab your red makers Congress!

This Hasn’t Happened Since 2008
By Graham Summers, MBA
Over the last 25 years, the financial system has been in what I call the “era of serial bubbles”: a time in which central banks create asset bubbles, said asset bubbles burst, and central banks respond by creating another, larger bubble in a more systemically important asset class.
The first primary bubble was the Tech Bubble of the late 1990s. While that bubble was isolated to a particular sector in a particular asset class (Tech Stocks), it was egregious in scope. A third grader could have looked at a chart of the NASDAQ and told you the situation wouldn’t end well.
When that bubble burst, the Fed opted to create another bubble by employing extraordinary monetary policies. Specifically, the Fed kept interest rates too low for too long, essentially making credit free. And because congress passed legislation that lowered lending standards to potential homeowners, the subsequent bubble took place in real estate: a much larger, systemically important asset class.
However, this time around, the bubble became truly global in scope, courtesy of Wall Street derivatives that the Fed ignored/ refused to regulate. In simple terms, Wall Street packaged up garbage mortgages into “assets” that were sold to everyone from hedge funds to pension funds, banks and more. In this manner, toxic mortgages in Florida, Las Vegas, etc. ended up on the balance sheets of everyone from Japanese banks to Spanish hedge funds.
So, when the housing bubble burst, all of these assets had to be revalued at much lower values… resulting in the global banking system imploding during the Great Financial Crisis of 2008.
What did the Fed do to address this situation?
It attempted to corner/ create a bubble in U.S. sovereign bonds, also called Treasuries.
These are the senior most asset class in the world. These bonds act as the bedrock of our current financial system, with their yields representing the “risk free” rate of return against which all assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) are valued.
Put simply, when the Fed created a bubble in these bonds it was actually creating a bubble in EVERYTHING, because ALL asset classes would eventually be repriced based on Treasuries were doing.
And that bubble has now burst.
The yield on the all-important 10-year U.S. Treasury has broken its 35 year down trend. The era of Serial Bubbles is over. And there is nothing the Fed can do to fix this situation.
After all, what can it do? There isn’t a larger more systemically important asset class the Fed could use to create another bubble. And introducing more extraordinary monetary policy would make the situation worse.
What does this mean?
The Great Crisis of our lifetimes is finally here.
————————————————-—-
Declare bankruptcy, that’s what is left to do. U. S. Treasury steps in and we begin the process of returning sanity to economics and fiscal policy.
No more bubbles, no more cabal.
They already broke it. We are way past bubbles. They have to keep the ponzi scheme going or it is world wide financial collapse.
And that was why BRICS was created with GOLD as the backing.
Notes from 2014. Interesting that US tax payer $$$ were AGAIN funneled to Europe in 2008-9…
BRICS was looking to DIRECTLY CHALLENGE the World Bank and IMF with a second bank lending to third world countries. (China is scooping up assets in Africa and S. America as a result of the policy.)
THEY WANTED TO CHALLENGE the US DOllar as the World Reserve Currency!
To do this they are buying up gold and mining gold in order to challenge the World Bank/IMF/US Petrodollar system just like Gadhafi did.

This is WHY Soros and his buddies want a war with Russia. They completely screwed themselves by weakening the USA and building up China, India and other countries. (And yeah I predicted it a decade ago)

The ONLY thing that kept the Euro afloat was the US WEALTH the Ferral Reserve STOLE from the USA in 2008 and FUNNELLED to EU banks!

US Treasury steps in?
What makes you think they will do anything rational? They’re taught, just like every other bunch of leftists, that money is a social construct and it’s OK to just mint trillion-dollar coins to settle the debt.
BRICS is going to force the action and their’s will be based on gold and commodities. Real stuff. Treasuries have outlived their usefulness to most world markets. As BRICS solidifies they will be selling off their holdings and not be buying any of our offerings. So who is going to buy the deficit spending? Nobody. Then they devalue the currency radically and it all tanks.
We don’t live in a vacuum. More than two thirds of the world’s population is moving on from us. Have been for over a decade.
It’s why there is a cage match to the death of the last Ukrainian. Even countries aligned with the West are quietly moving assets toward BRICS.

So well made, with sound as effects also.
“Rare-earth elements such as lithium are essential for the batteries that power electric vehicles and other low-carbon technologies, though most of that is found outside of the Western, developed economies.”
https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2023/01/12/sweden-lkab-rare-earth-kiruna-geijer/5421673541543/
Gee, I wonder how accurate the rest of the article might be…..
I keep seeing articles that call lithium a rare earth element. And it’s obvious you’ve noticed that as well.
“rare earth element” is a bit of a misnomer in any case; the preferred term is “lanthanide.” But when someone does say “rare earth element” it typically means the lanthanides plus scandium and yttrium (i.e., group three other than the actinides, by the modern 1-18 numbering of groups). But under no circumstances does it include lithium, which is an alkaline earth element, group 1.
Part of the problem is that lithium is rare, it’s just not a “rare earth element.” But that’s why the name is discouraged; naming something “rare” as opposed to describing it as rare will cause confusion, because not all rare-named things are particularly rare (some lanthanides are actually quite common), and not all things that are rare are named rare.
I also disliked the “most of that is found outside of the Western, developed economies” bit. The problem with lanthanides is not that they are particularly rare, it’s that it is an ugly, chemically intensive, pain-in-the-tuchis to separate and purify them. That’s why these processes are generally done at scale in lesser-developed countries with lax environmental laws *cough* *China* *cough*.
California has a major deposit; Japan has an undersea source; Ytterby, Sweden, has so many of them that a goodly number of lanthanide elements are named after it. It’s just that no “civilized” place will allow the construction of a chemical plant to separate them.
The bigger problem with them is that although cerium (for instance) is more common than copper on average throughout the earth’s crust, there are very few places where it’s concentrated into ore…so interestingly, the lanthanides are not “rare” but their ores are rare.
(Actually some of them are pretty scarce but even then not rare like gold…but again the concentrations are the issue.)
This would be an issue even if they weren’t so dang hard to separate out from each other. Incidentally for some applications (very low tech ones), you really don’t need to do the separation…”misch metal” used in lighter “flints” is just “whatever came out of the ‘rare earth’ mine that day.”

It occurs to Yours Truly that this stuff is happening not only * just after * a Republican-controlled House is seated — but also it’s only a couple of weeks since a certain Dr. Fauci “retired” from the NIH / NIAID.
Wow. To think that they could not move this stuff while the Duke of Depopulation was in place.
Interest timing for the WEF meeting. Getting their stories straight? Why do they need 5,000 Swiss police guards? Why are Republicans going??
I can’t speak to why there are 5000 Swiss guards but I can tell you that this group meets every year in January. You may recall that even Trump while he was President went to one of these meetings. Trump’s message was very different than the usual content and they did not much appreciate the message. Politicians , business CEOs. NGOs, and other power brokers gather to plot out the future and to tell one another how important they are to saving the world. It is a combination of power plays and patting one another on the back, sorta like the Oscars or the Golden Globe awards. So you can see that anyone with ambitions of power and influence go there to network with their “kind”. It is called Davos, I think because that is the town where the conference is held.
IMO all those “leaders” think they are strutting their messages, but almost all of them are downloading subtle orders. Ultimate psy-op.

This is GREAT. Now we can actually see how they’re backing up and stumbling as the narrative begins to fall apart.
A friend just emailed me from the hospital. They measured her troponin levels, and determined she is having a heart attack.
She is Canadian, and vaxxed.
Oh no, so sorry! Hope she gets good care. 🙏
Thank you. I do, too. But it is Canada.
So sorry to hear of this. Sending Deep Healing to your friend and Deep Wisdom to the medical staff.
Thank you so much.
How old?
Mid-seventies, so not young. But you know, not that old to me, either.
No, esp when its near a slibling age or your own.
True.
OMG – so sorry. Hopefully they will not abandon her if she “codes”. If it’s a jab cardiac, they have to be persistent, like they were with Damar!
I hope they will. She is a brilliant mind and a great person.
IMO, how “convenient” that the CDC is doing this now, ** just after ** a Republican-controlled House is seated, hmmm?

Yours Truly: This article speaks of, and links to articles by, The Ethical Skeptic regarding REAL data analysis related to the COVID-19 “vaccines” (not the falsified/altered data that’s promoted by the gubmint), and the shenanigans of the CDC (such as, changing the “death codes”).
I would love to see TES testify to the House.
I rather see him testify in front of a military tribunal where most of the FDA and CDC among a LOT of others are being tried for Mass Murder/crimes against humanity.

“U.S. Government Identified as Original Source of Lab Leak Theory. What’s Really Going On?”
https://dailysceptic.org/2023/01/10/u-s-government-identified-as-original-source-of-lab-leak-theory-whats-really-going-on/
“…………Why then did RFA introduce the lab-engineered virus narrative, even before the first death? Why was it trying to ratchet up alarm? And why did the unnamed U.S. official claim to be responding to Chinese rumours that turned out not to exist?
The plot thickens when you realise that Radio Free Asia is a U.S.-Government-funded media outlet that is essentially a CIA front, once named by the New York Times as a key part in the agency’s “worldwide propaganda network”. As Whitney Webb pointed out right back in January 2020, though RFA is no longer run directly by the CIA, it is managed by the Government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which answers directly to the Secretary of State – who, at the outset of the pandemic was Mike Pompeo, whose previous job was as CIA Director.
This means we can see that the Covid lab origin narrative originated with the U.S. Government’s security services, and did so very early, prior to the first death, as part of a deliberate effort to increase alarm in China and elsewhere. It was also designed to counter the anticipated claims, which had not yet been made (though the anonymous U.S. official falsely claimed they had been), that the virus was a U.S. biological attack………….)
My response to the author:
Sorry. Not buying the “US did it and China is innocent” line.
AND logic – they’re both guilty. Depop. Everybody is scrambling to get out from under the asteroid as globalist treachery crashes and burns.

SMOKING GUN PAPER…
A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.
It was Electronically Published on November 8, 2015
And LOOK who funded it! The National Institutes of Health under Fauci AND the State Key Program for Basic Research Grants from the Chinese Ministry of Science. Fauci not only funded the initial research but indicated interest in funding further research.
Key word CHIMERIC:
In addition to Ralph Baric, Other authors are quite interesting too.
Several are from UNC as expected plus Wayne A. Marasco, MD, PhD is from Harvard.
Marasco’s papers: listed
Remember Harvard is VERY socialist ==> communist (I lived a few blocks from there) AND it is the university that had a professor arrested, Dr. Charles Lieber, Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, who was bribed by the Chinese per the US Department of Justice.
in addition ”Zaosong Zheng, was arrested on Dec. 10, 2019, at Boston’s Logan International Airport and charged by criminal complaint with attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research to China.” A Chinese national,Zaosong Zheng was sponsored by Harvard and working as a researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
The third person is Yanqing Ye, a Boston University researcher. She is accused of failing to disclose her status as a lieutenant in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. According to the indictment, she was taking orders from PLA superiors while conducting her research at BU.
Kinda makes you wonder if samples of Baric’s virus was transferred to Zaosong Zheng and among smuggled vials PRIOR to this episode.
….
Back to the authors of the UNC paper.
Two of the authors listed are from China, Ge XY , and another is Shi ZL
The author information returns:
Ge XY has many, many bat corona virus papers listed
However I can not find anything else about this person.
Shi ZL is the SAME as Professor Zhengli Shi THE BAT LADY.
Yup. A long and patient depopulation program.
Is this the One Child Policy v2?

It is so odd seeing that criminal sitting in that car.
I know every inch of that car. Every GM part number for every part on the car, taken from the 1967 Assembly Manual or old original GM Dealer parts counter books (I have originals from 1962 through 1977, plus 1983, missing 1973 and 1976 IIRC), or the NCRS Corvette Judging Guides, or from examining the parts which happen to have part numbers stamped or molded or engraved on them, to my own bagged-and-tagged parts, down to the original lock washers and screws and bolts, and the grades and original manufacturer headmarks on each bolt.
There is a date code stamped in black ink on the back of the clock above his right hand. Same with the instrument cluster, which comes out in one piece.
The two knobs above the radio (his fingers are touching the left knob) are wrong, they’re from a 1965 or 1966 Corvette. All of the knobs should look like the two ‘mushroom’ knobs with black centers, just below the clock. The smooth and rounded ‘mushroom’ shaped knobs were just one of multiple safety features unique to the 1967 model year. 1967 was also the first year for a collapsible steering column. The emergency brake was relocated to between the seats for the first time in 1967.
The ‘born on’ date and information about the original interior color, whether leather or vinyl, original exterior paint color, etc., is on a ‘trim tag’ riveted to the cross frame underneath the glove compartment box.
The driver’s side mirror has a recessed Chevy ‘Bowtie’ symbol cut into the back of it, up to around VIN # 8,000 in 1967 (as prior model years did), then mirrors without the ‘Bowtie’ symbol begin showing up intermittently, until after about VIN # 10,500 the mirrors with the ‘Bowtie’ symbol disappear, and all mirrors are without the ‘Bowtie’ on the back from that point onward.
Mirrors were made by Donnely (DMI) or Ajax (AX), and have a tiny manufacturer mark and date code on the glass, near the outer rim. For example, 8-DMI-6 would be August of 1966, made by Donnelly. Ajax used a letter code for the month, so for example, E – AX – 7 would be May, 1967, made by Ajax.
There is a tiny dimple in the rain gutter below the wiper grill on the driver’s side, from the original GM fiberglass mold. It’s one of the ways to tell whether the fiberglass front end is original, or whether it has been replaced at some point over the decades, because replacements don’t have that dimple.
The ignition cylinder has two brass colored pins which allow the ignition to be turned from ‘Start’ to ‘Accessory’, etc., and that cylinder was discontinued in the late 1960s and replaced with a single-pin service replacement that functionally will work fine for driving, but won’t function properly for full points during judging.
The windshield and door glass all have the LOF logo, and all have date codes, looks like this:
.
The suspension, the chassis, the engine bay, every part of the car from bumper to bumper, I have photographed and cleaned or sent off for professional restoration as necessary.
And it does irk me to see that POS criminal sitting in one.
Very impressive knowledge of the car!
Is there anything about it being able to guard classified docs? 🤔
“Is there anything about it being able to guard classified docs?”
__________
There are lots of places where documents could effectively be hidden but not guarded 😁
For example, there is a large hollow area where documents could be stashed if you remove the seat-backs. Also under the emergency brake cover, and behind the door panels 😉
Nice!
Behind the door panels? Would the windows still work? My dad once removed a door panel on a Camry of mine when the electric window got stuck. He fixed it and put the door panel back on. I loved my “dear ole dad” (that’s the nickname he teasingly gave himself to me once.) LOL
Yep, there is a lot of space inside the ‘hollow’ of the door itself, the window mechanism (manual or power, I think power windows were an option since 1963, maybe earlier) doesn’t take up that much space.
The driver side window had the wrong date, I think it was dated 1968, so the driver door window was replaced the year after it was built.
When we took the car apart, there was still lots of original broken glass in the bottom of the door 😁
One of the interesting things about restoring an old car is figuring out things that happened to it during the time you didn’t have it.
My Dad bought the one I’m working on in the 1970s, so it was about 8 or 9 years old when he bought it.
We discovered nooks and crannies that showed the car had been painted at least 3 times, including metallic GOLD 😲
With the help of a researcher, I was able to track down the guy my Dad bought it from in the 1970s, and talked to him on the phone on a couple occasions for more than an hour, getting answers to all kinds of questions about things we found on the car.
Like a HOLE the size of a fist in the rear wheel well, under the carpet.
It turns out that something had busted where part of the suspension attaches to the frame, and it was easier to get to by cutting a hole in the fiberglass from inside the car, than to separate the body from the frame to get to the frame crossmember to make the repair, so that’s what he did.
It was just a car to him, he drag raced it competitively for several years (he was still drag racing funny cars when I spoke with him around 10 years ago), so he never bothered to repair it properly.
When I was a kid, I remember my Dad installing the air conditioning parts under the hood. Air conditioning was a very expensive option, so not many Corvettes had AC (Corvette Option # C60), especially on the high performance small block, which this car is, a 327 cubic inch, 350 horsepower (engine option code L79).
So I thought my Dad had added air conditioning to the car, that it didn’t come from the factory that way. He took me to Corvette shows and swap meets when I was young, and he would usually find something to fix a broken or worn out part he needed, so between that and my memory of him installing the air conditioning parts under the hood, I had guessed the air conditioning was non-original to the car.
I would learn later that there are ways to tell if AC was original to the car or not, but I didn’t know that at the time I talked to the previous owner.
But the previous owner explained that he drag raced the car, so he removed the original air conditioning parts from under the hood, to lighten the car, for drag racing.
He kept all of the original parts (including the correctly dated factory air compressor… original parts that came with the car are very desirable!) in a box, and gave it to my Dad when my Dad bought the car.
A 1967 Corvette with C60 (air conditioning) is fairly rare. A Corvette with the high performance small block (L79) and original C60 is more rare.
Then we found the remains of the original build order sheet. Beginning in 1967, they started gluing the build sheet on to the top of the gas tank, so everyone on the assembly line could reference it, before the body was ‘dropped’ onto the frame… and all those years later, the build sheet was STILL THERE 😁
It wasn’t in great shape, unreadable with caked on dirt, but it was cool to have.
Then a few nights later, I was looking at it while at my computer desk, and took a pocket knife, and carefully scraped at the caked on dirt, and a big flake came off. And I could make out writing underneath.
I spent the next 2 or 3 hours carefully scraping away 40 years worth of dust and dirt, to the point that nearly the entire original build order sheet could be read.
Including all of the original options.
Including C60 air conditioning, proof positive documented original to the car 😁
That’s amazing. What a true treasure trove of memories & materials!!!
It is an interesting journey, that’s for sure. The discoveries and learning about the history of a particular car, and being able to document important details are some of the highlights in what can be a very long and difficult (and expensive) process.
Here is a photo of a build order sheet still attached to the gas tank, it was just a sheet of paper that was slapped on with glue, but they are often still there 50+ years later, when the body is removed for a complete restoration:
The last time that paper was touched by human hands was the day the car was put together, going down a very basic assembly line. Corvettes were essentially hand built back then, and they might have averaged around 100 Corvettes per day for 9 or 10 months out of the year. Then they would shut down for a month or so to make necessary changes for the next model year, and start up again late in the year. So they might be making the new 1967 Corvette starting around late October of 1966. I have a book on all that stuff, I just haven’t looked at it in a few years.
People who own or restore old Corvettes were incredibly lucky to have access to someone who was there at the time, a man named John Hinckley, who was the assembly line foreman in 1967. He later worked for Dodge on the Viper, but he was a lifelong Corvette and Camaro fan (and owned a ’67 Corvette and I think a 1969 Camaro).
John was inducted to the Corvette Hall of Fame, and was a regular member on the Corvette and Camaro forums, so we could ask questions about the cars and how things were done originally, and get answers from someone who was there when they were made and could give first hand witness accounts. It was incredible.
In most cases (with most cars one might choose to restore) you just have to guess, or go by old photographs and do the best you can, because there is nobody around or alive to explain how things were done.
And here we had this guy, who ran the assembly line for the entire 1967 Corvette model year. And he loved the Corvettes and the people who were passionate about them and wanted to help everyone who was interested.
I know it sounds crazy to people who aren’t interested in old cars and never will be, but for just one example out of hundreds (probably thousands), someone who was restoring his Corvette would post a question about how the ‘blackout’ was done on the underside of the car.
Original ‘survivor’ cars (e.g., cars discovered in barns or garages with low mileage that hadn’t been driven since they were fairly new) showed traces of ‘blackout’ paint on the mufflers and other parts of the undercarriage, like the steering linkage.
A debate between professional restorers and enthusiasts would commence, based on the available research and who has seen what, and pretty soon you have people disagreeing and saying it was this way or that way, etc.
Then John would check in, and explain that on the factory assembly line, the mufflers would get a quick shot of blackout spray, that it was (for example) applied lengthwise (not side to side motion) because the worker stood to the side of the car not behind it (which would require a side to side motion), and the steering linkage had a whole different sort of paint that wasn’t really paint, it was a runny black rust preventative that was applied at Saginaw Steering (who made all of the steering boxes and linkages for the Corvette and I’m sure many other models for GM) before it was shipped to the assembly line for installation.
And that settled the dispute, always, because John was there when the cars were made. He could answer almost any question, and not only tell you how it was done, but why it was done a certain way, and what problems needed to be solved that led to doing it that way, so it was like a history lesson too.
To have access to a knowledge resource like that is just unheard of, so everyone who works on these old cars was incredibly lucky to have John, and that he wanted to volunteer his time and knowledge to help everyone who asked.
John passed away a couple years ago, but all of his replies, thousands of them, over many years of participating daily on several of the Corvette and Camaro forums, will always be there to help people who are trying to bring these old cars back to “factory new” condition.
Here’s another pic of a recently ‘dropped’ gas tank with a ‘tank sticker’ (build sheet) that looks like it’s in pretty good condition. As you can see, it has no ‘cover’ or protection, it’s just a sheet of paper with all the details needed by the assembly line to install the correct options for that specific car:
.
This must be a reproduction, but it shows what it would look like when it was new:
.
This is close to what mine looks like, and what most look like, if one is fortunate to have it at all:
.
Yes, it looks rough (because it is!), but it’s hugely valuable, because it’s an original source document for that specific individual car. Like the car’s original birth certificate, and there is no department at GM where you can order a replacement, so you either have it, or you don’t 😁
Lots of beautifully restored Corvettes don’t, and their owners would love to have their car’s build sheet / birth certificate.
So even though mine is rough, and doesn’t look like much to the casual observer, it’s an amazing piece of documentation to have, for any old Corvette.
It details the VIN, the engine option, the gear ratio, interior and exterior color, whatever options the car was ordered with. Even the AM/FM radio was an option, which cost $172.75
The whole car (base model coupe with no options) was $4,388.75 in 1967.
Air conditioning was a $412.90 option, so about 10% of the price of the whole car.
The VIN is important, because a ‘numbers matching’ car is highly desirable and worth considerably more. The VIN is stamped on various parts, including most importantly the engine block. Many of these cars were driven hard back in the day, and blown engines were not uncommon. If that happened, you bought a replacement crate engine from GM, installed it, and you’re back on the road.
But the serial / VIN number doesn’t match the number on the frame, or the ‘Trim Tag’ located under the glove box, or other areas of the car.
All these years later, whether a 1960s Corvette has the original engine or not has a significant impact on the value of the car.
Here are some photos of the boys making Corvettes in the mid 1960s, I love seeing these pictures, from back where it all began 😁
Red… it has often been said that all Corvettes should be red 😁
The Corvette body paint room. Back when men were men… they didn’t need no stinkin’ masks! They didn’t need any special outfits. Just paint it 😂
Here’s a great shot of a 1968 or 1969 Corvette, just before the body is lowered onto the frame:
Another assembly line pic, you can see the assembly line track curving under the car:
Here’s a 1953 assembly line pic, the first year for the Corvette:
This is the ‘pilot’ or test car build for the 1963 Corvette, this body style, with minor cosmetic changes, was from 1963 – 1967. So this is the first one, the prototype, when the guys in ties and :
This is the contraption they built to seal all of the fiberglass panels together:
Frame being painted black:
Now this is just about the best you could hope for, raising the body off the frame, and seeing a nearly pristine build sheet still stuck to the gas tank.
Here’s a picture of the metal ‘trim tag’ on the cross bar on the right side of the photo. The glove box will be installed directly over it, but you will be able to see the trim tag when the car is finished, if you stick your head down there to look 😁
That trim tag is very important, appraisers (and car show judges) examine it very closely, because if it has been tampered with, the car is not considered legitimate and is disqualified from judging. Any car whose legitimacy is questioned is a difficult car to sell, so any trim tag that has been tampered with impacts the value of the car substantially.

In the afternoon sun, the red paint really does glow just like this, that’s why so many ‘For Sale’ photos of red 1960s Corvettes are taken in the late afternoon. My red 1969 Corvette looked almost orange-ish red on cloudy days, but only sunny days, in the evening sun, it glowed just like this too 😁

Very enjoyable! I read A Lot of this to my husband & son Brandon who’s over to watch some football. B works as a hydraulics tech & is very familiar w/ tear down, parts acquisition, & rebuild so is with you in spirit just a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for reading, you’re very kind to put up with my long-winded car rambling 🙂
It was very enjoyable to live through it vicariously. We’ll probably Never have the ability to do such a restoration ourselves so I can really appreciate the inside baseball perspective you shared!

Another image that didn’t post, the 1953 Corvette on display at the Waldorf Astoria (according to the html link title):
TY…this was all very interesting. You & your dad have been So Blessed!
Well, it’s a mixed bag of course. My Dad parked the Corvette in the late 1980s and it was going to be his retirement project to restore it, but things didn’t work out that way, and he passed away about 15 years ago.
So it became my project, and though Corvettes have been my favorite cars since the day my Dad pulled into the driveway with his when I was a kid, I didn’t know anything about restoring a classic car.
So I was literally starting from scratch, and it’s a far bigger mountain to climb than I could have realized when I began.
It’s not the kind of thing you want to get wrong, because every mistake costs money, and it requires a ridiculous amount of detailed knowledge to get it right.
I ended up spending more time researching and learning how to restore the car properly, then I spent in 7 years of college (I was on the Belushi plan).
I didn’t want to invest that kind of time into it, I just wanted to drive it.
But making mistakes are very costly, because you have to undo what you did wrong and do it over the right way, so learning how to do it right becomes a matter of financial self-defense.
It already costs too much to do it once (the right way), so you definitely don’t want to have to do everything twice.
If I had it to do over again, it would have been wiser to sell his car as it was (as a project car needing a complete restoration) and putting the proceeds toward buying one that had already been properly restored.
But that’s not easy either, because it’s hard to tell what corners someone else may have cut, or what someone else did wrong during a restoration, without having a detailed knowledge and understanding, so you’re back to square one anyway. There are experts for hire of course, but that’s not cheap either, and you could end up retaining experts to go examine a lot of cars before finding the ‘right’ one, i.e., one that was restored properly.
Someone who didn’t restore their car properly is going to be asking just as much for it as someone who did, so it’s not like you get a discount for buying one that wasn’t restored very well, you just get all the headaches (and lost value) for buying the ‘wrong’ car.
And since the car I’m working on was my Dad’s, and has been in the family since he bought it in the 1970s, there is also the sentimental attachment factor.
There have been a lot of times where it has seemed more like an albatross around my neck than a blessing, that’s for sure.
But it’s getting near(er) to completion. It is with a Corvette specialist now for paint and reassembly, but Covid slowed everything down to a crawl, and he lost a couple employees over the past two years, and it’s not easy to replace them due to the specific skill set required to restore these old cars (properly).
It should have been completed last year, but maybe it will be done by late this year. Maybe.
Lord willing, and if the world doesn’t come apart in the meantime 😉
It’s an amazing legacy of love, legwork, loyalty, labor, & longevity!
Something has shifted, hard.
My daughter, less than a week ago, told me she would NOT talk to me about the “vaxx shit,” as she calls it. This was in a convo about Damar and his heart attack. Even though she hasn’t had the shot, she was completely on board with the “narrative” that everything is “fine.” Damar got hit, and that did it, she said. No discussion, period. People were “crazy” to think people are dropping from the shot.
Last night, the barrage of text messages from her about all the vaccine injuries started, and has not abated. She is hearing it from everyone she knows. They are freaking out.
Was it Lisa Marie Presley? Robbie Knievel? Who was the catalyst? Because something happened, I know it did. This is a major shift in tone and opinion in only a few days.
Very interesting.
My HS GFs were chatting about Lisa Marie Presley last night. I think that one was a shocker to many.
Need a few more big names. But my twitter has a daily body count. Pretty depressing. Really got to suck if you got jabbed and you are seeing all this. Like Russian roulette whether you like it or not.
Esp. with the ‘Hot Lot’ information.
Interesting. It might have been a combination of those people, including Damar, even though your daughter and friends scoffed about his situation. There have been other deaths in the past few days, though I can’t name them off the top of my head. It might be the sheer volume of deaths, which unfortunately are coming more frequently. Over time you might hear details about what suddenly caused the freak-out. She (they) might mention certain people.
I’ll report back if I find out. You may be right about the frequency. It is definitely growing.
I don’t know what changed but I have my thoughts on it.
If you are heads down in the narrative, you’ve believed it for a long time.
The Damar thing was a very uncomfortable wake up call.
Think about how hard they’re working to cover it up – for me, it’s like why bother? People can see though this . . . but maybe the problem is that Damar PENETRATED the bubble. . .
When the bubble bursts, it bursts fast and hard.
“For the crust presented by the life of lies is made of strange stuff. As long as it seals off hermetically the entire society, it appears to be made of stone. But the moment someone breaks through in one place, when one person cries out, “The emperor is naked!”-when a single person breaks the rules of the game, thus exposing it as a game-everything suddenly appears in another light and the whole crust seems then to be made of a tissue on the point of tearing and disintegrating uncontrollably.” – Vaclav Havel, Power of the Powerless
It could also be that FakeSpace, Twatter, etc. got the memo that they better stop DE-BOOSTING the counter vax-narrative and it’s finally breaking through.
This also fits in with the whole “preference cascade” thing, where everyone wakes up and goes, “wait, you believe this, too???” Classic example being the fall of Ceaucescu.
First, you have to have “preference falsification”. People think A but say B because A is what dissidents and radicals think….
And. Unless I missed it. We have NOT seen TW FauXi Files.
Hoping they are seismic, in shifting the Covidiot narrative to truth.
Whichever way it is happening, I hope it continues!
CDC came out and said they are looking into Vaxx heart condition connections…
“Suspicious Dog” says that the CDC may have shredders going, bleach bit by the gallon, and CYA all over the place.

And they just added strokes! But the factors being talked about are WAY LOW.
Would this tie in with the CDC dumping the European reports about “vaccine” adverse reactions / deaths from the VAERS database?
Hi Wolf, which is odd because we keep seeing ‘Cardiac Arrest’ as in Lisa Marie Presley’s death last night. I believe there is a Colorado tennis player who passed yesterday, as well as an Air Force cadet who also succumbed.
Now, Presley’s and Diamond’s deaths could be from any number of family traits, and we just do not know yet.
Just too much Occam’s Razor.
It would be ironic as hell if it were Lisa Marie Presley’s death that popped the bubble.
Because out of all the recent high-visibility deaths, I think she is the one most likely NOT to be due to the jab.
Blood clots. My daughter sent me the link!
Is it the same news report posted here? Because it’s not what it looks like. The news clip doesn’t tell the whole story. I just made a comment about it. If there is something I’m missing, let me know.
The CDC noted that there is a “link” between the shots and blood clots and claimed to be “investigating” in the last day or two.
You are right; they aren’t really doing anything, and are still recommending the shots.
BUT, the important part is, the only thing that my daughter and her friends noted was the CONNECTION between the shot and blood clots.
See, these morons in media don’t seem to realize that most of the public (obviously us excluded) don’t really read news articles. They see headlines. And if WE have done our job properly, implanting the seeds of doubt about the clot-shot, which I have with my daughter, the “spin” after the headline is meaningless. All she got was the headline confirming what I had said.
IMO the media is allowing it through now to deflate depop. THAT is why we’re seeing CDC change tone on heart attacks and strokes. They are triangulating toward some new, low-balled admission of risks.
Limited hangout will aim to keep depop as tin foil.
I hope someone some where has video recording of meeting where the real purpose is admitted.
Me to, hoping.
Reality. ~Three years into this cluster, no leaks, yet.
Yep. I have to agree. Limited hangout. When I learned that concept, the whole world clicked into place.
I could be completely off base, but I don’t think the limited hangout works as well if it starts AFTER people are catching on. At least I hope that’s the case. Because now it looks like a coverup.
True! There are psy-op ways to make the late limited hangout work, and it will be interesting to see if they try them.
I believe it is now totally out of their control. They are pissing into an oncoming big wind.

Thank you for asking. I was at a loss too. 😉
Something new out of the Jan 6 protest. New testimony from a DC Capital Police Captain. Her name is Captain Carneysha Mendoza. She was in charge of a 300 man tactical unit at the Capitol. Says they had intel to expect a large number of provocateurs at the Jan 6 rally. That the provocateurs led the way to the capital and it was they that removed obstacles and forced their way into the Capitol Bldg. I don’t think anyone’s heard her testimony before. Funny that. Assumes either the Dems blocked her testimony or she waited till it was safe to surface.
Stems from this guy’s trial happening today or yesterday.
VERY interesting!!!
Ackkk! Forgot the link to the story.

Comment lifted from Andrei Martyanov’s blog:
Ukraine has turned into a private military company owned by NATO, which is paid money, given weapons and told where to shoot. This was stated by the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzia at a meeting of the Security Council of the world organization.
According to him, “the Kiev regime, contrary to facts and common sense, has formed the illusion that with increasing direct military assistance from NATO, it will be able to defeat Russia on the battlefield.”
“As a result, Ukraine, in fact, turned into a NATO PMCs”.
They pay her money, supply her with weapons and intelligence, tell her where to shoot and where to attack.
The Ukrainian people suffer from this, who are forced to fight for the sake of other people’s tasks,” the diplomat said.
The special military operation in Ukraine will end only when its goals are achieved, whether through negotiations or military means, Vasily Nebenzia said.
“It will be possible to finish its work only when there will no longer be a threat to Russia from the territory of Ukraine and there will be no discrimination for the Russian-speaking population of this country.
If this result can be achieved through negotiations, then we are ready for such a scenario.
If not, then all the tasks set will be achieved by military means.
So far, neither the Kiev regime nor its Western sponsors have drawn the necessary conclusions from the Ukrainian events,” the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the World Organization said at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine.

What could go wrong?
Considering Russia’s capabilities, it’s a passive method of depleting the US arsenal of effective armaments.
And another invasion force?

Slow guy.
So “BiteMe’s Vette”, was / IS Jill’s from their affair decades ago. <<< Simply Precious.
—-
Jill’s Ex confirms the affair, speaks of the Vette, NOW. Not 2-3 years ago during the run up to 3 November election.
AND, BiteMe’s people are reporting BiteMe, having multiple stashes, of classified documents, from his VP years.
^^^ Yea, NONE of this is a coincidence. ^^^
There is a LOT of stuff going on right now!!!
Yea. Narratives are shifting big time. Shifting for the good.
Just remember, Camel-Uh is in the bullpen. Ugh.
This is how they prep for 2024, IMO.
The Party.
They’re gunna have to steal A LOT. People WILL NOT vote for Camel. They just aren’t.
Yea, I don’t look forward to that POS.
Hoping the new VP is decent, OR House refuses to approve the VP nomination. <<< Gonna be a fight, trying to heard the R-Cons to do the right thing.
That could be interesting!
If I remember correctly, the Corvette from during Jill’s affair, where it was damaged and needed fiberglass repair, somehow leading to exposure of the affair, was a mid or late 1970s model.

Monsters!!!
Just had another riverside deputy shot in addition to the one killed 2 weeks ago. Big 11-99 response. Hes alive. Suspect likely to be mulch. Domestic violence.
Suspect hispanic male, long history of criminal activity and drugs. Taken to hospital but no official statement.
Scary to be a cop anywhere.
Wow. Yeah, I’ll say!
Deputy was shot in femoral is all ive found out. Another young one like 2 weeks ago.
Gotta get those tourniquets on FAST. So many die needlessly through wounds to the extremities. Everybody should know how to improvise good tourniquets!
Ive been taught basic tourniquet, but there are techniques to prevent limb loss arent there?
Yes. You actually have a good number of hours to get to the hospital with NO DANGER of limb loss. Blood loss is the killer. The keys to a good tourniquet are a wide band (car seat belt is a good width, and many types of clothing work – avoid wires, cables, ropes, etc.) applied ABOVE the wound (not on it), tightening it to the point of actually stopping blood flow (will cause significant pain to the recipient), and keeping it locked down using a strong twisting device which will not break or bend, and which can be clamped down or pinned down to prevent unwinding.
Limbs can be reperfused in the hospital hours later without damage – there is NO need to relieve the tourniquet – blood loss is a much bigger danger.
Victims may need several tourniquets applied quickly. Not a problem The limbs will all survive.
You can buy tourniquets that are basically wide rubber strips in a package – very cheap – and create trauma kits to stash in cars, bug-out bags, etc.
I really recommend that people take trauma training. The response will be fast and natural if ever needed.
Like the kind Ray Epps had? 😜
That boy had traitorama training! 😉
Do we know anyone else who took tourniquets to J6?
AZZHOE was prepped for injuries.
I had at least one, but I was expecting Antifa to attack us openly!
When I saw so many Trump supporters, I knew they would not. BUT IMO they anticipated that, and that is why Antifa infiltrated the rally, rather than attacking it.
Did you see my ? about the site?
Yes! Please see my replies!
Yes I saw. Had to refresh, so my ? was at bottom and happening posts were at top. Sorry, I got impatient going back and forth. Thanks again.
Dang, Wolf, we laypeople need an opener with this one. I learned about 5 seconds worth in the sixth grade…not very good, of course!
Will consider doing one sometime!
Would be marvelous! You could turn alll of us around!!!!
I know, pun included.
Yet, I am clueless as to where even to apply one. I would probably kill my patient, if not feinting first, seeing blood…
And, oh…
How does one get over feinting seeing blood?
Training!!!
Thats a course i would enjoy.

The little icon to the right of ‘Coyote’ says share on
Twitter
Vkontakte
Odnoklassniki
The last 2 are Russian social networks.
You do that??
Same on a number of folks…to the right of coyote or whatever varmint is listed.
Edit. Including mine.
I clicked on both, they wanted English logins. The last one’s site ended in ‘.ru’ so that was obvious. I looked them both up and sure enough, Russkies.
Gazprom owns Odnoklassniki.
Yea, I just hovered over the gizmo so TW and them other two would show. Your indicating Ruskie, was enough for me to further confirm and leave alone.
Guessing a plug-in may get un-plugged. Hopefully QTree is not infiltrated.
Russia. Russia. Russia. (C U, See Aye Yay)
GAZPROM!!! 😱
IKR? Do they have any Board Members left alive?? 😱
Probably. A while back I turned off all social network “login” buttons (other than WordPress), but I enabled all “share” buttons. Share buttons are not as much of a risk, but the risk isn’t zero, and I don’t allow Chinese or Russian embeds, among others, because those ARE a bigger risk. So best to turn them off. Since Twitter is now in better hands, I left it, although that decision can be revisited.
Anyway, I disabled the two Russian share buttons, but left Twitter. If I can find an easy way to add Gab, and maybe GETTR and Parler, I’ll try!
Thanks for spotting that.
Found it totally by accident. Didn’t want anyone to ‘get us’ cause of it! Thank you!
The Riverside County Deputy that was shot a couple hrs ago has died.
2 deputies, same dept, in 2 weeks.
Horrible. So sorry to hear this. Prayers for him and his family! 🙏
Jeez, that’s so horrible. 🙏 More than ever we need to Back the Blue. Their job is so dangerous these days. Many Thanks and Hats off to the ones who continue to do it.
Im sure itll be national news, even if its a blurb. For sure on breitbart
Just found out his wife is preggo. 1st baby. 30 y/o. Of course a super nice guy. Suspect in critical condition so they wont disclose any info.
OMG, the baby will never know it’s father. His poor wife, Just heartbreaking! 😭
Makes a lot of sense! Then they use “fairness” to go after Trump!
Well the Hoe will pardon him for stolen docs, but if pardon covers all UKR and Chyna related crimes, then we got a BIG problem. And she damn sure better not pardon Hunter or the lying azz brother either!!
I always forget about the pardons…🙄
Well …
the pics of her ‘working’ for Willie Brown might prevent her from doing so.
She would probably be proud of those pics, put them on Christmas cards to send out to friends, family and donors.
Her husband might not, though. 😬
Why wouldn’t she just do a blanket pardon of every federal employee?
Not that it will matter, since it would just be an extension of the criminal organization to protect itself.
Yep…just explaining this today to a friend. And then, in NY…we got Hochul.
Even more of a demon than Cuomo. She has only been elected once…and no one knew who she was.
Contemplate that.

Dr. Mark Siegal on Fox, talking to Sean Duffy about the CDC and strokes, and yet still pushing vaccines. CRINGE!! GRRR!!! I wanted to throw something at him, but decided not to hurt my own TV.

He’s a Doctor and doesn’t know the jab devastates the immune system? Hasn’t caught on to all the #DiedSuddenly’s??? SMDH.
Oh and HCQ and Ivermectin!!! IIRC he gave his own father HCQ!! Why is he not recommending treatments???!?? 😡
From OT:
So, You Did Not Take the COVID-19 Shot, Why Not?
January 13, 2023 | Sundance | 756 Comments
Reader feedback request.
SD: “I was quite shocked to review a poll I took on the Twitter last month showing that 85% of the people who follow the CTH Twitter account [TLR2] did not take the COVID-19 jab.
Without any judgement implied or inferred I am genuinely curious, why not?
With the situation clearly in hindsight, and/or given all the pressure that may have been applied to each individual situation, I am genuinely curious what was it that made you choose not to take the COVID-19 vaccination.
If you are comfortable, and please understand that no pressure is intended in any way whatsoever, could you share why you didn’t take the vaccine and how do you feel about that decision in hindsight?
If you did take the vaccination, there is also no judgement in this question. As I said back in 2021 each individual is unique, each situation is unique, and each person has to make the best decision about what is in their individual best interests. So please, don’t let this issue divide our conversation.
I am genuinely curious as to the reason so many people would withstand the public and perhaps peer pressure to follow the ‘vaccination’ advice. Also, how has that decision impacted your life? Did you lose friends and family over your personal health decision? Did those relationships heal over time? Or anything else you might find pertinent to the general question.”
……………………………
I was tempted to reply that I was kicked off a conservative blog people here might be familiar with, along with a couple hundred others, for talking about Q.
Many of us found each other at a new blog, and because we weren’t afraid to question the narrative or of being BANNED, we uncovered lots of information about how dangerous the vaxx was, and didn’t go anywhere near it.
Over 1,300 comments at the moment, I read a bunch of posts and it’s interesting.
My response:
I had both natural immunity and a likely contraindication (prior case of COVID).
The fact that adverse events during initial rollout were being blamed on “antibodies” – something VERY typical in coronvirus immune behavior – made me realize there should have been a contraindication on prior COVID. The combination of presumably good immunity and likely contraindication were enough for me to say “no”.
However, the fact that FDA and CDC did not put forth a warning, and in fact continued to recommend the vaccine for pregnant women, and for all others with NO contraindications, told me that something was not right, and that the authorities could not be trusted. The overthrowing of all prior standards of practice was suspicious as hell.
After that, it only got worse.
Ivanka and Jared social drama!

Too close.
Different eyeglass styles yet same look.
Planned, IMO. Different look for Ivanka from a couple of years ago. Most of we pale ones could actually pull that off! Takes a lot of great skin, or airbrushing…but Ivanka’s eyebrows betray her!!!!!
So do Carolyn’s. Those are hair follicles. Those are NOT darkened eyebrows. They are dark natural. Never happens on a real blond.
I leave both to not know quite know how to pull off ‘natural’ blond!!!!!
Oh……LOL!!!!!
Or maybe rarely happens!
