Back In My Day: Civilized War – Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Raah

There are times in this series when I will take a trip back in time to establish a basis of understanding of other events and people to come. This would be one of those times. I am splitting it into multiple segments to cut the reading time as there is much ground to cover.

This guy had been struggling with heavy burdens of life from which he needed release. I had entered a tunnel through the years that led into darkness where I stumbled about, not sure how to exit. What I thought I knew from a year and a half of dating and being engaged in college, turned out to be fools gold. Our marriage was crumbling, we were just playing house, much less meeting the other’s needs. My occupational success and her family’s social acceptance was all that seemed to matter to them collectively. There was no depth of real love or commitment.

While searching for meaning in a life and hope for the future, I stopped going home for my lunch hour and started going to the library. My ex was rarely home anyway and when she was there was no conversation or the slightest interest in how my day was going. So, I spent my time reading in my office while eating a sandwich each day. I was drawn to books of faith and history as I never had much interest in fiction novels. The faith books were about personal journeys. They began connecting within my heart, only increasing my yearning to experience what the authors were conveying.

I had accepted Christ as my Savior and been baptized as a 11 year old, thereby receiving my fire insurance policy. For a couple of years afterwards my parents took me to church and I learned from the sermons while also reading my Bible at home. Then the teenage years happened and the dysfunction of my life at home with warring parents distracted me and them. We had never been a praying or Bible discussing family at home as it was. It was not until my senior year in college did the flame flicker a bit more in my soul. I began regularly attending church and became a member of the UMC in a local congregation of each community in which I lived afterwards. I got involved and served where asked.

Which led to nowhere. In reality it led to the point where I was as a young married man who was still alone and seeking.

Faithful Witnesses

Along the way I had noticed changes with two guys I had come to know around my age who were well known in the community from prominent families. At one time they ran with the “in” crowd like we did. We went to the same church and were in the same class, however, they left to join a different group. Over time I noticed that they were spending more of their time with family and a new set of friends, with much less time spent at civic activities, parties and the country club scene.

One Sunday at church they stopped me in the hall and told me they were starting a Bethel Bible Series program there and wondered if I would be interested in joining. It would be open to singles or couples. I immediately sensed this was it, what I had been seeking. I asked when and where, that I would be there and bring my wife if she was interested.

I later learned what had happened to them. They had made major personal changes in their lives as they had also struggled with who they were becoming. They had been invited to attend Bethel training at a participating church in the area and loved it. They had completed basic and intermediate training in that Bethel series. Soon after they were confident they had the calling from the Lord to bring it to our church. You could easily see the positive changes in them. They were genuine and caring with everybody, not fake. Our senior pastor and council approved their request. They were both enrolled in the advanced teacher training with a local accredited Bethel teacher from the sponsoring church being available to be on site at our church until they were both certified. Upon their certification our church would be able to incorporate the series into our Bible study class offerings.

It was one of the very best decisions I have ever made in my life. Its pursuit also eventually brought my marital problems to a head.

I learned more within the Word and had my heart stirred. Scripture became real life. It literally jumped off the pages and I could not get enough. I studied and memorized with cards I prepared that I could use during my lunch hours, which was consumed with Bethel and the Bible. My evenings before bed were spent the same way. I realized my view of life and its meaning was dramatically changing. Other people started seeing changes in me. I was no longer interested in participating with the “in” crowd. I still enjoyed my golf game, however, my time at the club was reserved for just a round of golf for exercise and fun, nothing more.

My ex-wife came to the first few weeks of the basic course, but began making excuses not to go after a time. I began the intermediate course of study without her. The study required putting in the work between sessions and included self graded tests each week for you to judge your own progress. It was during this period, that our marriage finished collapsing. There was nothing left. I questioned God why he would bring me this far, for me to draw this close to Him only for my soon to be ex-wife to move farther away from me and Him. The draw of continuing her wealthy lifestyle and parents’ domination was simply too strong.

I then realized for the first time we were unequally yoked. Nothing I could do would ever change that as she had no interest while I had an all consuming thirst for the Word and what Jesus wanted for me, for us. I had hoped my ex could have the same thing, that we could experience the journey together and grow closer. But she rejected it and me. She wanted out if I did not agree to her terms of remaining married. She had no interest in the traditional scriptural reality of marriage. I finally convinced her to go to a church sponsored marital counselor and to speak with our pastor. She went with me one time to the counselor and refused to talk with the pastor. It was beneath her to do those things and put in the work. She did not like what they had to say. Through the years I had learned that prior to our marriage she had always been interested in men of social standing within the community, one was the son of a local bank owner who had married somebody else. He is the same man that became my ex’s third husband some 20 years later. But as for me in that period of time, I simply did not fit her profile anymore.

I had chosen Jesus and it was at a high cost. I paid it willingly.

When the community around us learned of our pending divorce they were startled but not shocked.

Our pastor understood and helped me through it all by counseling and praying for us. He wrote a letter of reference to my new church family later that year. He offered to be a reference on my resume. My two Bethel friends were right there. I still have the gift of a healing book with the kind, helpful words one wrote in it to me. There were people who I did not realize would be so consoling and supportive. I found I had some real friendships. My occupational mentor and his family were there for me and my mentor offered to relocate me into an even better job in another area. When I told him of my desire to move to east TN, he offered to be a much needed reference. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of them.

I learned that there are people who truly care, who are willing to step in the gap for others in difficult, dark places. It taught me to pay it forward. It restored my faith in humanity and confirmed my path.

The Final Curtain

After I officially filed for divorce for irreconcilable differences, a few months later it was final. It was all handled quietly in the judge’s chambers and there were no disputes over community property. I only wanted enough to start anew. They could have theirs plus part of mine since it had more value to my ex than my life and love. I had my car, my personal belongings and enough to carry me over until my new job began with its salary. At 30 years old, in my mind it was time to become the man I was intended to be, whoever that was.

I felt relieved and welcomed it.

The Roller Coaster

To say it was nothing but smooth sailing afterwards would be a lie. For the next decade I fought with myself over surprising feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, needing to prove myself at everything. I had no idea I would feel that way as I had never been short of self assurance previously. I knew failing in my first marriage was a cause. I could still hear the words of my ex claiming I would not have progressed in my career as well as I had without her family pulling strings. I knew some of that was spite and anger talking as it was not true, but it left a mark. Had she known what many of the people who came to my aid thought of her and her family, she may have been more humble and a whole lot less vindictive. I would not admit it to her, but I felt I had something to prove.

I simply had no foundation other than seeking to know more about Jesus and authentic Christian living. My side of the family had become an even worse mess than when I was a youngster. Whereas Rock Star came from a solid working class family who had it together. They welcomed me in and accepted me with open arms as one of their own. I could not even give her in-laws that could be in the same room together without trouble breaking out.

I was still too career oriented, just like my father. I was overly ambitious. I gave physically of myself to our marriage, family and home; but my heart was not always in it. I would play the game at work and not shift gears well when I came home. The wheel in the hamster cage kept spinning and this hamster did not go anywhere different.

I was so clueless and self absorbed that it never occurred to me for years into our marriage that Rock Star was experiencing those same feelings of inadequacy and had resorted to working herself silly to make sure she did not fail again.

Adding to the stress was a now rebellious teenaged step daughter. Then five years after our daughter was born we finally learned why she was speech delayed. She had Central Auditory Processing Disorder, a condition that could have been eliminated at an early age had our highly experienced and respected pediatricians noted what we told them about her lack of progress and checked to see if she needed simple tubes in her ears. Which of course, she did as it turned out. Three years too late to help her speech and language comprehension delays. To say we were frustrated is an understatement. Our love was still strong, but our patience with even the little irritants was gone. My Bible studies had stagnated, although our participation had increased as teachers in the children’s ministry.

Rock Star and I talked it through and decided it was time for her to call it a day as a working mom and wife. A career she had built over 20+ years needed to come to an end. She was willing, once again, to make a selfless decision and change. I made enough for us to get by and that would give her the time we needed to devote to our daughter and the long road ahead with catching her up and keeping her on pace in school while trying to put a lasso over the teenager’s head to keep her from blowing herself up. During this same time my banking employer sold out, about the time I was finishing the Pilot Travel Ventures deal. Over the ensuing months it became clear that the new employer was going to be just plain awful.

Then one day a business customer approached me about coming to work for him in a Chief Administrative Officer role. The pay would be 33% higher with a company vehicle and benefits provided. He needed somebody with my skillset to guide the company internally through its expansion plans.

I did not stop to consider that this door was not opened by the Lord. I did not feel the need for digging deeper into the company, after all they had been in existence for over 60 years in a traditional, equipment line of business and had been my customer for several years. I thought I knew their financial condition from statements and tax returns. I understood the business and how I could improve their operations.

I contacted my attorney to negotiate the employment contract. Where do I sign?

It would become the best disaster that I ever experienced in my entire life.

It would lead to a first class education into all things legal, the corrupt judiciary, FIB, DODGE, local law unenforcement, EPA incompetence, bank fraud, insurance fraud, CPA fraud, IRS tax fraud, and so much more. All of it over eight months of employment with the total mess lasting four years.

Conclusion

We will lead off with this in the next part as it became the central event in my life that led me back to the Cross where Jesus died for my sins and the sins of the world. It led to when I knew what I knew and was truly born again. It led to my rock star wife and I truly becoming one as God intended. Stuff that is unusual or could not be coincidental happened as a couple of our more notable posters on here discussed about happening in their lives recently in a daily.

Spoiler alert: It led to our nation’s Rome to witness to the Lord’s goodness and accomplish work projects that helped many We the People in the process. Somehow I lived through it all. Which may be one reason why the Lord has left me here this long; to tell the stories.

Until next time I pray Jehovah Shalom (The Lord is Peace) who is Jehovah Raah (The Lord, my Shepherd) will lead you joyously into His comforting, protective arms. It is a wonderful place to be.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Philippians 4:8 is a well-known verse that admonishes believers to think about “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, . . . excellent, or praiseworthy.” This command suggests that believers can control their thoughts and that their thought life should be characterized by what is good and uplifting.

Philippians might be characterized as a very positive book. There are some rebukes for a couple of individuals and hints that the church might not be as unified as it should be, but most of the book is a positive statement of what the church should do rather than a rebuke of what they are failing to do or an exhortation to stop doing something.

In chapter 1, Paul speaks of his imprisonment and his assurance that this will further the gospel, and he encourages the church to live in a manner worthy of the gospel, no matter what happens to him or to them.

In chapter 2, Paul points to Christ as the ultimate example of one who put the interests of others first, and the Philippians are encouraged to adopt that same attitude and live it out.

Chapter 3 warns the church to avoid teachers who would attempt to add works to the grace of Christ for salvation and then contrasts false teachers with true believers who, like Paul, put no confidence in the flesh.

In the final chapter, Paul gives a list of things he wants the Philippians to do, but this kind of admonishment has been evident throughout the whole letter:

– Stand firm in the Lord (verse 1)

– Rejoice in the Lord always (verse 4)

– Let your gentleness be evident to all (verse 5)

– Do not be anxious about anything, but pray about everything (verse 6)

– And then, verse 8: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Paul could probably have gone on for several more chapters admonishing and encouraging the Philippians to right living, but he sums it up with a catchall that encompasses every positive thing that he could have listed. While it might be valuable to analyze the meaning of each term that he uses in the list of things to think about, the desired effect is cumulative. The point is not to compare and contrast the various categories of things a Christian should think about, but to make a list covering everything good, positive, biblical, godly, encouraging, etc.—and exclude everything that is not.

We live in a world that is constantly bombarding us with messages, images, and worldviews that are incompatible with a biblical worldview and biblical guidelines for godly behavior. Even Christians can begin to think in secular, rather than biblical, categories if the popular, secular culture begins to inform their values. Paul reminds us that we must constantly reject those things that do not draw us closer to God and consciously focus on the things that do. We have the ability to choose what we think about.

Thinking about whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise applies to every area of life, but would seem to be especially appropriate for evaluating the consumption of popular media—music, TV, movies, and literature. This does not mean that everything we watch, read, or listen to must be overtly Christian in nature, but it does mean that it should draw our hearts closer to God and increase our desire to obey Him, to fellowship with other believers, and to share the gospel. If the subject of our thoughts does not do these things, then it does not pass the test of Philippians 4:8. It seems likely that, if Christians took this verse seriously, our media consumption habits would have to change.

High Hopes works, too!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

So, for the coming year –
Accentuate the Positive
Eliminate the Negative
Have High Hopes,
and always, always,
Keep Looking Up!

2023·01·07 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

EDIT: 22:54 MT. Well let’s just say the top item didn’t age well…except perhaps for the deserved insults to Speaker Dungsmear.

I can only hope McCarthy keeps his promises.

Giving Our “Love” To A Certain RINO POS

Sundance of Banhammer Central, addressing Kevin “Dungsmear” McCarthy:

(See, this is how you do it, Sundance. Don’t drone on for ten thousand words, half of which are selected [and many of those misused] solely for their two-dollar value.)

More seriously, have you ever seen a more blatant example of how the Republican Party simply does not care about what its voters want? (Except of course to figure out what positions they need to mindlessly parrot when doing town halls and campaigning.)

Most of the base loathes McCarthy, and all but twenty of the Republicans in the House of Representatives insist on voting for him for Speaker of the House, again and again, exemplifying the definition of insanity.

For those twenty standing their ground, you are heroes. For the rest…you’re RINO scum (or you’re acting like it so if, deep down, you aren’t I can’t tell and neither can any other actual American, so quit acting before we decide to terminate your careers). Lauren Boebert is not my representative…on paper. That honor is dishonorably discharged by Ken Buck. In spirit, however, Lauren IS my representative.

[Note: Now there are six holdouts. Five of whom say NO WAY to McCarthy. The others, I hope, got some very good concessions that will neuter the RINO to some extent. And of course two hours before this posts, they will try again, so (other than my note to Sundance) this may all be moot by the time it posts.]

[11:45 PM ET: Dungsmear lost again, but the House remains in session. Apparently Gaetz is being pressured to switch from “present” to “Dungsmear.” Ongoing…]

Now the most likely outcome is that McCarthy does indeed pick up that gavel, after having made a deal. Hopefully one that renders him powerless to interfere with a MAGA agenda.

RINOs an Endangered Species?
If Only!

(Well this is the perfect time for this to come up in the rotation!)

According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.

Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.

I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.

But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.

The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.

Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.

I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.

This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?

In Defense of Ranked Choice Voting

One of the biggest obstacles to direly-needed change is RINOs, and one of the weapons in their arsenal is the “Wasted Vote” argument.

Periodically a third party has arisen, trying to hold RINOs to account by putting pressure on them from outside of the party, since doing so from the inside has historically done very little good. But, even if you find a third party candidate who perfectly reflects your views, you’re likely to vote for the RINO anyway. Why? Because if you don’t, the Democrat might win, and that would be even worse. So if you vote for that third party (that few will vote for), you’re throwing your vote away and increasing the likelihood of the Democrat winning. (It’s half as much a gain for the Democrat, as actually voting for the Democrat would be. Not as much, but half as much. Because although you denied the R your vote, you did not flip your vote to the Democrat.)

The Republican Party Establishment knows you don’t love them. But they know you hate the Democrats worse, and they use that to continue to herd you into supporting them. With gritted teeth but your vote counts the same whether you cast it enthusiastically, or only because it’s probably a felony to piss on the voting apparatus.

But what if you could vote for that third party without increasing the changes of the Dem walking away with the prize?

This is what ranked choice voting, or instant runoff voting, can do provided it is properly implemented. (And this includes the votes, and only genuine votes, being counted honestly, of course. However, I’m going to compare it to what we have today, and pretend that is honestly done too. RCV can’t work if it’s not honestly administered, just like our current system isn’t working because it isn’t honestly administered.)

The idea behind RCV is to vote by expressing your order of preference. You could vote for the Patriot Party, then for the Rino Party as your second choice (and ignore the Democrat, the Green, the Overt Socialist Party, etc.)

What does this do? It nullifies the wasted vote argument. Your vote will be counted for the Patriot party, first, then instead of it being “wasted” when the Patriot Party loses, it ends up going to the RINO. Actually, it’s just barely possible that the Patriot Party would actually beat the RINO, if people weren’t all individually afraid to vote for it. (It’s just like the famous “Prisoner’s Dilemma” where your fear of other peoples’ actions prevents you from doing the optimal thing. As long as Job Lowe is afraid to vote Patriot because he’s afraid you’ll vote RINO, you’ll have to vote RINO because Job Lowe will.)

So on the whole I like RCV. It gives you a no-risk way to vote against the RINO scum, and in favor of someone who deserves your vote.

The problem is, as done here in the US, it comes packaged with a “jungle primary.” A bunch of candidates get to put their name out there, and the top four (or so) candidates get onto the “main” ballot. This gives party establishments their way around the threat of a good third party bumping them off. Because they know that few people bother with primaries, and third parties don’t have the resources to run in a primary…so they throw two or three establishment hacks into the primary and they will probably beat the third party. The result is the RINOs end up with two of the four slots in the general election, and the Dems get the other two. Now there’s suddenly no third party candidate on the ballot at all.

If we were to combine RCV with the present system where each party could nominate exactly one candidate to appear on the November ballot, or at the very least, ensure minor parties could get onto the ballot with at least one candidate regardless of the primary, we would be getting somewhere, but the establishment is smarter than we like to give them credit for. They will support the jungle primary + RCV “solution” rather than the more appropriate one-candidate-per-party + RCV solution.

It’s not RCV, it’s the primary structure grafted onto it.

Justice

It says “Justice” on the picture.

And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.

But what is it?

Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.

Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):

Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.

Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.

—Ayn Rand Lexicon (aynrandlexicon.com)

Justice Must Be Done.

Trump, it is supposed, had some documents.

Biden and company stole the country.

I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Russia’s Attack on the Western “Allies” of Ukraine, by Outing WEF Support for Pedophilia Using “True Disinformation”

Russia is playing a masterful game against the Western allies of Ukraine, by striking at the very heart of their neo-liberal, globalist, “rules-based” order – the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Russia has found the Achilles heel of WEF – pedophilia – which is a practice solidly rejected by almost the entire citizenry of every country which WEF alleges to represent.

Very soon, WEF’s assets and agents in Western countries will be quite unwelcome, and many trainees and associates will be forced to deny their association with that organization – not only with words, but with ACTIONS.

Russia will have succeeded in becoming a MORAL leader of the citizens of the West, in contradiction to the very governments of those countries. Too late, socialists and communists in those nations will learn that Mao’s essential work on contradiction applies to THEM as well.

Weaker and weaker, the governments of these countries will face citizens outraged at money pouring into Ukraine, working against world peace, as their economies weaken and their societies decay.

By this action, the SECOND PHASE of the fall of Sovietism will occur – the abandonment of Sovietism by Soviet-infiltrated and globalist-nurtured Western nations. That, in turn, will usher in the multi-polar world which appears to be the most scientifically plausible outcome of actual human social development.

Allow me to explain – in one small way – why I believe this is coming, and how it is happening.

It is very clear that WEF provides major support for the LGBT+ agenda which is overtaking the West, but which agenda is being slow-walked in China and actively rolled back in Russia. You will notice that WEF takes great pains to never push too hard on this topic, lest it appear to be leading, instead of merely responding and approving.

“Leading from behind” – as Obama calls it.

For example, in talking about its own “platforms”, the framework shown below is as close as WEF comes to open LGBT+/LGBTI advocacy – Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society. You can dig deeper for more specifics, but on the surface, WEF is in the closet.

What Russia has done, using one of its best disinformation assets in the West, is to prematurely expose WEF’s true intents on LGBT(P), where P is pedophilia. It did this using a most excellent “true lie”, as you will see.

You are likely familiar with the handiwork of Baxter Dmitry, but you probably never knew or connected the NAME of the master of “fake news” to his amazing product, which fools millions of people every day.

Baxter Dmitry is the absolute master of plausible lies. He finds things which not only COULD be true, but maybe SHOULD be true, and may even BE true, but are probably not, or at least not exactly, and then turns them into fake news.

Such a hilariously “diet” version of evil. And yet, he is, indeed, a bearer of false witness.

What is interesting, if you watch Dmitry long enough, is that his product rarely looks like out-and-out Russian propaganda, but it almost always serves Russian interests. If Dmitry’s work doesn’t weaken and demoralize the Western regimes with lies, it does so with truth.

Now – don’t get me wrong – THAT is not always something that bothers me. For example, while I reject the insane neo-liberal “rules-based order”, I am a complete backer of a “truth-based order” – so anybody telling more truth than the other guy, gets more of my support than the other guy.

How in the HELL does “rule-based order” matter, when the rules literally encode LIES? Such order is no better than “woke AI”, which is FORBIDDEN from finding or acknowledging certain truths that GOD rains down on us. To HELL with your “rules-based order”, founded on LIES.

Take the “Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell“. I don’t care where it came from. I don’t care where it passed, or whether it was “hacked” or “stolen”. I don’t care if Russia, China, or the Vatican gave it to Rudy Giuliani. I don’t care if they got the information honestly, or dishonestly, the latter being something the FBI does routinely.

All I care about, is whether the data on that laptop is real, intact, and TRUE.

See our masthead about how that is determined. By FREE INQUIRY.

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer

To me, the fact that the FBI honored the DNC-convenient idea of hacked information is bad OVER the idea that true information is good – all that tells me is that the American DOJ and FBI are now CRIMINALS, dodging behind technicalities to hide the sordid truth about their co-conspirator, Joe Biden.

To me, they’re liars, much like Baxter Dmitry. But not EXACTLY like Baxter Dmitry.

To see this, we need to look at Baxter’s very recent, and very cunning “true lie” against WEF.

You can go to the links, watch the following 11-minute video, or read the excerpt below.

VIDEO LINK: https://rumble.com/v23r7bo-world-economic-forum-declares-pedophiles-will-save-humanity.html

I have copied a large segment, but nowhere near the entire article, below.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

A controversial initiative being promoted in the corridors of power by Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum in Davos is set to have families and anyone who cares about children up in arms.

The World Economic Forum is now calling for the decriminalization of sex with children, arguing that laws against “age gap love,” more commonly known as pedophilia, “violate human rights.”

Rather than being a scourge, the pedophilia epidemic that is sweeping the world is actually “nature’s gift” to humanity, according to Klaus Schwab whose World Economic Forum has declared that pedophiles are being created by nature in increasingly large numbers for a reason.

According to a research paper presented at the WEF in Davos, the pedophile phenomenon represents nature’s attempt to cleanse the earth and “save humanity” from itself. Minor attracted people are far less likely to produce large numbers of offspring, according to academic data, and the so-called “underage people” they have so-called “relationships” with are statistically less likely to go on and become heads of large families themselves.

This appeals to the WEF and their vision of destroying the family unit and depopulating the earth.

The WEF, which has ordered the mainstream media to begin pushing the narrative, wants to introduce an international policy that will require the majority of countries to decriminalize or at the very least relax their laws against pedophilia.

The New York Times, always at the forefront of the globalist agenda, ran an op-ed arguing that pedophilia is not a crime.

According to the Times, civil rights protections must be extended to pedophiles. “Without legal protection, a pedophile cannot risk seeking treatment or disclosing his status to anyone for support.”

Not to be outdone, CNN countered with an article proclaiming that pedophiles are not “monsters” or “social deviants living in the shadows.” According to CNN, it’s high-time for society to update its image of pedophiles.

CNN followed up this article with an even more explicit call for sympathy. Rather than considering child molesters the lowest of the low, we should reach out to them and seek to understand them, according to CNN because, they claim, “One cannot choose not to be a pedophile.”

The psychologist Jesse Bering, author of “Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us,” also urges the reader to sympathize with child molesters, writing that people with pedophilia “aren’t living their lives in the closet; they’re eternally hunkered down in a panic room.”

Salon also got in on the act, urging us to meet pedophiles who mean well.

And the BBC, which famously spent decades covering up for Britain’s most notorious pedophile Jimmy Savile, also wants us to think positively about the new generation of pedophiles.

Make no mistake, a co-ordinated attempt is underway to present pedophilia as “harmless.”

What is going on? The media are presenting us with a classic case of the “Overton window.” According to the political scientist Joseph Overton, there is a window within which there are ideas considered “acceptable” by society, tolerated therefore even by those who do not share them. Ideas outside this window are considered “extremist” and not accepted in public debate.

BACK TO WOLF…..

What Baxter Dmitry has done here, is to create a plausible and shockingly believable, but completely over-the-top defense of pedophilia by WEF, and to then accuse them of having said it.

After making this apparently slanderous statement “by” WEF, however, Dmitry then goes into many paragraphs of highly legitimate and accurate reporting on the shilling and soft-pedaling of pedophilia by the media and Western globalist leaders, particularly those with close ties to WEF.

This is a masterpiece of disinformation, because it basically “pre-Epsteins” Klaus Schwab.

What Baxter Dmitry did, was to wrap an accusatory and likely false poison pill, in a whole bunch of connected truth. He sparks the gap of what we don’t know, with what we rightly suspect.

The effect is DEADLY. The article instantly generates megatons of bitter hatred against WEF.

WEF, as far as I know, never publicly said such a thing. Indeed, there are numerous fact-checker websites which vigorously deny it, too – for all that’s worth, now that fact-checkers as a whole have told as many lies as Baxter Dmitry – or maybe more.

I did go to the trouble of searching WEF’s site for anything close to the alleged statements, and they simply are not there, nor anything like them.

SEARCH: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=WEF+age+gab+love+laws+violate+human+rights+tweet&t=brave&ia=news

It would appear that – AS USUAL – Baxter Dmitry is lying.

Lying liars are lying again.

HOWEVER…..

This is where things get even more interesting.

There is a saying which I absolutely HATE because it insults my gay friends. However, I also respect the saying, because it literally came true, when I discovered that some of my gay friends were, in fact, pedophiles.

That statement:

“Scratch a gay, find a pedophile.”

Fact checkers will argue until the cows come home that this isn’t true, but for me, looking skeptically at any gay male has turned out to be one of the FASTEST ways to find pedophiles. Heterosexual pedophiles are – in my experience – much harder to find, and the female brand of heterosexual pedophiles even harder. Although, sadly, their numbers are growing.

My point is, this saying applies to the World Economic Forum as well.

If you go to WEF’s website, https://www.weforum.org/, and do a few searches on LGBT-related topics, buzzwords, acronyms, and the like, you will quickly find that WEF is fully behind the “gay agenda” and the “trans agenda”, pushing nations to adopt it completely.

You will NOT see any kind of open, full-throated support for pedophilia, or even inflammatory support for euphemisms like “minor-attracted persons”.

HOWEVER – just like when you see your gay friend collecting images of “pretty” boys, or catch him grooming teens with anime porn on social media, you can catch WEF shilling for pedo.

FOR EXAMPLE, if you go to this article:

LINK: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/lgbti-rights-around-the-world-in-2018/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/od7Qp

…..you will see this section:

Where discrimination is illegal

Only five countries in the world – Bolivia, Ecuador, Fiji, Malta and the UK – have constitutions that explicitly guarantee equality for citizens on the basis of sexual orientation as well as gender identity, according to a 2016 UCLA study.

Five countries – Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa and Sweden – have constitutions that provide protections based on sexual orientation.

But globally, there are few constitutional protections for LGBTI rights compared to provisions to protect against gender or racial discrimination, says the study.

General disclaimer: The designations employed and the presentation of material on this map do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the World Economic Forum concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Have you read?

This is where I spotted a critical lead.

Several points need to be made.

In the graph, you will note that dark blue map color = LGBT illegal in some contexts. You can bet money this is referring to pedophilia. It is a VERY sneaky way to refer to it – as “a context” of LGBT. I will explain.

It’s also important to note the general disclaimer. THAT is about the fact that Taiwan is blue, but China is red. WEF is making sure China doesn’t take this to mean that WEF is saying Taiwan is a separate country. Yeah.

But most importantly, look at THIS LINK:

LINK: Mexico’s LGBT rights are stronger than the US’s. Here’s why

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/o9jXd

This article, in its entirety, is an extremely careful SHILL FOR PEDO, under the covers of shilling for constitutional LGBT protections. I urge you to read it in its entirety. However, if you want to see the key part, here it is.

Mexico abolished most discriminatory legal distinctions based on sexual orientation long before the United States. Mexico decriminalised sodomy in 1871, more than 100 years before the US Supreme Court overturned anti-sodomy laws in 2003.

The lone legal discriminatory point in Mexican law was a double penalty for corruption of a minor if it involved homosexuality. This provision was changed in 1998. The United States has no national antidiscrimination laws to protect LGBT people. In 2003 the Mexican Chamber of Deputies unanimously passed a national anti-discrimination law that included sexual orientation as a protected category, established a new agency to enforce the antidiscrimination law, and developed a national anti-homophobia campaign. Moreover, the first article of the Mexican Constitution prohibits discrimination based on “sexual preferences”. There is no explicit constitutional protection for sexual orientation in the United States.

Now, technically, what WEF is complaining about here, is that gay pedo was being doubly penalized as “corruption of a minor”, whereas straight pedo was only [in principle – see below] getting the standard weak sentence for that charge. But in my opinion, we need to go back to the map that got us here from the previous article. What is the difference between Mexico and the United States? LGBT is not “protected in some contexts” in the US. What are those contexts?

PEDOPHILIA.

Child prostitution, now euphemized as “child trafficking”, is RAMPANT in Mexico, and always has been. Young teen prostitutes and porn actresses were notorious in Mexico when I was a kid. However, it was all STRAIGHT. Gay pedo was “discriminated against”.

Now, thanks to progressive activism, pedophilia is protected in “gay contexts” as well, in Mexico. Or perhaps we should say that gay sex is protected in all contexts.

See how that works?

If you look at exactly how much real protection there is for anything LGBT *and* ADULT in the United States now, there is no reason that the US didn’t qualify for “green” in that map, except that “P” and “childhood T” are not protected here. Both – handily – captured by the idea of GROOMING of kids.

Beyond the issue of pedophilia, it’s very fascinating to read that full article, because WEF takes very close notes on two things that should scare you:

  • states are useful for gaining protections for LGBT(P) when national laws are not obtainable
  • religion does not protect the conservative status quo in Mexico, oddly, and WEF seems to think that evangelical Christians are the reason

You can see what these two things mean, and WEF hints at them. FOUR YEARS AGO.

  • WEF will try to subvert individual states in the US
  • WEF will try to subvert evangelical Christianity both in the US and elsewhere

DeSantis striking out explicitly at WEF is a very good thing, because he is definitely going to be a target of these people. However, Protestant churches are now going to be targeted by WEF, and IMO the WEF infiltration will use PEDO, just like they did with the Catholic Church. LGBT gets in first, and then they bring in the PEDO. Are you seeing that? I certainly am.

ANYWAY – back now to the original proposition.

What does this have to do with Russia?

LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11566339/Santa-Putin-features-anti-West-propaganda-video-Russia.html

Russia is an old hand at winning wars using propaganda.

Just like Soviet Russia won the Vietnam war by stoking liberal anti-war and anti-cultural sentiment in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s, Post-Soviet Russia is going to win the Ukraine war by stoking conservative anti-war and anti-cultural sentiment in the United States during the 2020s.

Without getting too deep into that prediction, what we are seeing is Russia’s recognition that America is fundamentally culturally opposed to WEF’s view of the world, while WEF is a driving force behind the entire overexpansion of NATO into the former Soviet Union (FSU).

All Russia needs to do, is to make Americans SEE that WEF is behind the gender and pedophilic insanity that most of America despises, and Russia can further turn America against the WEF-begotten war in Ukraine. At the same time, as WEF weakens, China rises, taking control of WEF, as it has taken control of the UN.

While WEF most likely never said PUBLICLY the crazy things that Baxter Dmitry accuses them of saying, it would not surprise me at all, if Russian intelligence has VERBATIM picked up those very same ideas in WEF cyberspace and internal discussions. These ideas are fully consistent with the kind of thinking WEF engages in.

The ideas of “pedophile saviors” is not only perfectly satanic, but when couched in a Malthusian evolutionary context, it sounds brilliantly just like Yuval Harari – you know – the very creepy, gay, vegan, Israeli transhumanist who functions as a kind of Rasputin of Klaus Schwab.

LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVTf-C6oQo

The more you listen to this guy, the more you see him taking humanity over a cliff, in a kind of Hitlerian hubris that seems like something straight out of the 1940s.

WEF was clearly WAY out over their skis, and Putin nailed them in mid-air.

So where does that leave us?

In summary, what Baxter Dmitry has done, possibly with Russian direction, assistance, or intelligence, is to simply fill in the public blanks, by applying scratch a gay, find a pedophile to the LGBT(P) insanity of the World Economic Forum, at a time when that culturally aggressive and hyperprogressive organization is clearly linked to all manner of recently revealed evils, including vaccine techno-fascism, sneaky depopulation, sociobiological warfare, climate terraforming, energy cultural revolution, destruction of food sources and supply chains, financial eco-bullying, rampant corruption, criminal corporate swindling of the middle class, unbridled transhumanism, woke AI, militant veganism, globalist warmongering, treasury-raiding, taxation without representation, blatant censorship of obvious truth, and rabid antitheism (to be distinguished from mere atheism – practically a blessing in comparison).

Almost EVERY human has something to fear from WEF. It’s too easy.

All Putin has to do is hold up a cross, and he wins.

5Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. 7And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree. 9If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness to his Son. 10He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son. 11And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. 13I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

1 JOHN 3:11-21

11For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But if any one has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. 19By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him 20whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

PSALMS 100:1-5

1Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands! 2Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! 5For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

JOHN 1:43-51

43The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44Now Philip was from Beth-sa’ida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45Philip found Nathan’a-el, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46Nathan’a-el said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47Jesus saw Nathan’a-el coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” 48Nathan’a-el said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49Nathan’a-el answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” 51And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”

There are SO MANY settings of the Magnificat. Here is my favorite for congregational singing.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

1 JOHN 3:7-10

7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous. 8He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. 10By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

PSALMS 98:1, 7-9

1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 7Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! 8Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together 9before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

JOHN 1:35-42

35The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; 36and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. 40One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). 42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

The Wisdom of Benedict XVI

PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11

5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

PSALMS 113:1-8

1Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! 2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore! 3From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised! 4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! 5Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, 6who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth? 7He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

MATTHEW 1:18-23

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; 19and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23“Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel” (which means, God with us).

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

Happy New Year, Wheatie!

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.

MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1

Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.

SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.

As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.

YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..

OTHER THAN THAT…….

The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.

Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

Don’t think much of pop music?

Try THIS ONE!

OK – how about something for the New Year?

OK, maybe more along that line…..

OK – how about THIS from last night?

AND what the heck – YouTube just threw this one into a list of Sheryl Crow songs, so let’s take their hint and throw in another BETHS video!

ENOUGH!

Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

We can speak the truth!

We can SING the truth!

We can Stand up for the truth!

We can MEME the truth!

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Is Ukraine Killing Newborns To Harvest Stem Cells?

The dates for these stories about Ukrainian babies sacrificed for parts is 2006 -2007. I am going to address Putin first since he is the most likely scapegoat if the story goes viral. Also he, like President Trump has repeatedly called out the pedophilia in the West.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin[c] (born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer who holds the office of president of Russia. Putin has served continuously as president or prime minister since 1999:[d] as prime minister from 1999 to 2000 and from 2008 to 2012, and as president from 2000 to 2008 and since 2012…

During Putin’s first tenure as president, the Russian economy grew on average by seven percent per year,[10] following economic reforms and a fivefold increase in the price of oil and gas.[11][12] Putin also led Russia during a war against Chechen separatists, reestablishing federal control of the region.[13][14] As prime minister under Medvedev, he oversaw a war against Georgia as well as military and police reform…..

…Here is an assessment of Putin by Sharon Tennison who for 20 years ran a NGO in Russia funded by USAID and the US Department of State.

From the questions Tennison asks at the end about the US projecting its own bad behavior onto Putin, it is obvious that Tennison is unaware that Russia is targeted for two main reasons. One is that the military/security complex needs an enemy to justify its enormous budget and power. The other is that the neoconservatives who control US foreign policy believe in US hegemony over the world, and Russia is able to block US unilateralism….

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Sharon Tennison has written an indepth article drawing not only on her experience but that of her Russian friends and US officials . She has also written a book published in 2011.

….Putin obviously has his faults and makes mistakes. Based on my earlier experience with him, and the experiences of trusted people, including U.S. officials who have worked closely with him over a period of years, Putin most likely is a straight, reliable and exceptionally inventive man.

He is obviously a long-term thinker and planner and has proven to be an excellent analyst and strategist. He is a leader who can quietly work toward his goals under mounds of accusations and myths that have been steadily leveled at him since he became Russia’s second president.

I’ve stood by silently watching the demonization of Putin grow since it began in the early 2000s –– I pondered on computer my thoughts and concerns… In addition to my personal experience with Putin, I’ve had discussions with numerous American officials and U.S. businessmen who have had years of experience working with him––I believe it is safe to say that none would describe him as “brutal” or “thuggish”, or the other slanderous adjectives and nouns that are repeatedly used in western media.

I met Putin years before he ever dreamed of being president of Russia, as did many of us working in St.Petersburg during the 1990s…. 

 A Russian friend (a psychologist) since 1983 came for our usual visit. My first question was, “Lena what do you think about your new president?” She laughed and retorted, “Volodya! I went to school with him!”

She began to describe Putin as a quiet youngster, poor, fond of martial arts, who stood up for kids being bullied on the playgrounds. She remembered him as a patriotic youth who applied for the KGB prematurely after graduating secondary school….

My next question was:

What do you think he will do with Yeltsin’s criminals in the Kremlin?

Putting on her psychologist hat, she pondered and replied:

If left to his normal behaviors, he will watch them for a while to be sure what is going on, then he will throw up some flares to let them know that he is watching. If they don’t respond, he will address them personally, then if the behaviors don’t change–– some will be in prison in a couple of years.

I congratulated her via email when her predictions began to show up in real time…..

Is Putin profoundly corrupt or “incorruptible?”

Another interesting tidbit about Putin is his Christianity and his views of the Western governments attack on Christianity and Christian morals.

June 30, 2017….Mr. Putin’s position on the matter of child-abusing Elites remains the same, saying:

“Europe and the West thrives on a culture of pedophilia and Satanism”

Looking forward following his meeting with Mr. Trump though, Putin said they had set the scene for a new era of cooperation describing their talk as a “breakthrough” and a “huge step forward” in the fight against the current Satanic pedophile world order….

Putin: The West is Controlled by Satanic Pedophiles

Putin Delivers Speech on Moral Crisis of Western States.

The actual video in that archived article is no longer available. This seems to be a similar:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlaHubJ-fKk

The reason I mentioned all this background material about Putin is because of the current headlines.

Chilling clues that suggest 7 Russian oligarchs were MURDERED by Putin as paranoid Vlad purges billionaire inner circle

AT least seven Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin may have been murdered as the president purges his inner circle of former wealthy allies.

Since the start of the year, several of Putin‘s cronies have died in mysterious circumstances….

Katie Davis & Anthony Blair of the Sun UK

Consider what Putin and his military may be finding as evidence in Ukraine. I think SOMEONE, probably NOT Putin is doing a bit of clean-up. Wolf believes that the clowns are trying to scare Putin’s loyal oligarchs with stories, when their fellow ex-pat oligarchs are in fact falling victim to either the clowns themselves, or MANDATED JABS in Europe and America.

BBC: Ukraine babies in stem cell probe

Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests.

Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them.

Ukraine Killing Newborns To Harvest Stem Cells Says BBC With Video Evidence

– Ukraine has long heralded itself as a leader in modern science’s embryonic stem cell quest.  BBC News reports that video footage they obtained suggests that the Ukraine is no longer meeting the demand with just embryonic stem cells but is now also killing newborn babies to harvest cells from their more developed bodies.    The Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine in Kharkov, Ukraine was founded in 1972 as a research facility in the little known field of stem-cell therapy….

These is an organization of physicians in Alabama, Physicians for Life, that did investigative research on the use of Stem Cells. They wrote the story below. I copied just a snippet. It is chilling.

Stem Cells, Abortion, Baby Parts, & the Ukraine

Ukrainian trafficking in baby parts—Reported by Brian Clowes, March 2007:
The trafficking of baby parts in the Ukraine & the Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Barbados. This follow-up report exposes the horrific industry that connects these distant locales. The March 2006 HLI Special Report described how John Fusto and I visited Barbados in 2005 and exposed the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, or IRM.
The doctors at this facility claim on the IRM Website that they can completely cure or ameliorate every disease or injury known to man — including spinal cord trauma, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and diseases of the liver, nervous system, blood, heart, and bowel.
The IRM has gone a long way towards fulfilling its promise to make Barbados the “Embryonic Stem Cell Capital of the World.” It imports aborted baby parts from Ukraine, liquefies them into a kind of “preborn pureé,” then injects them directly into the arms or body organs of customers. According to the IRM, these cells use a kind of “radar” to seek out diseased or damaged cells in the patient’s body and repair them. The IRM claims an astonishing 96% improvement rate in curing virtually every disease ever recorded.
Rich English and American women find their way to this remote complex (at their own expense, of course), and are injected with fetal stem cells at $25,000 per session. Barnett Suskind, CEO of the IRM, says that “It’s the most natural form of healing there is. You think better, sleep better, look better. Your quality of life improves and your libido certainly improves.”
Only the Beginning
When John and I were investigating the IRM in Barbados, we had no clue that we were taking the first steps towards uncovering an international conspiracy involving corruption at the highest levels of several governments, mad scientists by the score, a Nazi-style eugenics breeding program, mass murder, and Russian Mafia executions of witnesses.
When you’ve spent a few years in the pro-life movement, nothing tends to surprise you. But I have to tell you, this sure comes close. Upon arriving back at Human Life International, I was curious to see if the Institute for Regenerative Medicine was just a fluke — a unique facility unlike any other in the world.

The adrenochrome skuttlebutt was easily disprovable CRAP that was probably meant to be a cover for THIS. It was a provably false trail, just like Wolfie explained yesterday that the Gates quote:

The world today has 6.8 billion people…that’s headed up to about 9 billion. If we do a really great job on vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 to 15 percent.

Bill Gates

was deliberately misleading and meant to make people think we are conspiracy theorists.

And just in case you think this type of inhuman behavior is not loose in the Modern world, here is a video on oran harvesting from live people. Again to serve an Elite, wealthy clientele.
