As we have figured out, the history we are taught is written by those who wish to control us. It is a Psy-Op.

To get an idea of the true events it is necessary to piece together bits and pieces.

This article was sparked by things Burning Bright and Just Human said in Defected Ep 12 – Sun 9:00 PM EST – 2/5/23 (3hrs 30 min.)

Rough Transcript of interesting parts:

34 – 40 minutes: “…some partnership with elements in our military and in China to expose the Deep States in both countries, as cartoonish as that sounds… 6 to 8 years ago the Democrats were warm and fuzzy with China and THAT HAS SHIFTED… Why is China not treating Joe so nice? …. Trump’s Ex Orders are still in place, banning Chinese companies [goes in to a list] …China is also not happy with Trudeau either…

Just Human and Burning Bright then discuss the Chinese Balloon as a ‘Narrative – Story’ that seeds the idea in normie minds that Biden is NOT keeping the USA safe. This is in conjunction with the Twitter files showing over and over again that the MSM LIED. [I think this is why Matt Tiabbi and other decent Lefty journalists were picked to tell the story. The right does not need convincing NORMIES and THE LEFT OF CENTER DO. -GC] This is ALSO while McCarthy changes house rules and kicks Chinese spies off the intel committee and a special counsel is appointed to look into Biden’s classified Docs. Another narrative is Biden’s push to get the USA into a war with Russia.

@ 1 hour Burning Bright (BB) then says he has written about ‘scare event theories’ such as the balloon or even worse a nuclear scare. he believes this maybe the beginning of a ‘Crisis Cascade’ that will jar the sleepers into being receptive to new ideas. aka ‘The Great Awakening’ He the talks of the Enemy using ‘trauma’ like 9/11 to shock the psychological state thus allowing new ideas. Ideas that make people feel SAFE [Think giving up our rights via the ‘Patriot’ act – GC] BB believes patriots are turning that around and using it on the Deep State and the balloon narrative is just the beginning.

@ 1:03:20 (BB) says the narrative is Russia and China are ‘Evil Empires’ and they are friends. He does not believe that. He thinks it is the Deep States in those countries and ours that are evil They are the same. [THINK ReichsWEF] he says we need to quit talking about Russia is good or bad, China is good or bad, the USA is good or bad…. How do normies now feel about those evil ‘enemies’ getting bolder and bolder and bolder since you put the buffoon in office? He thinks there will be a crisis cascade involving financial, economic and other things that are going to destablize on Joe Biden’s watch…

@ 1:30:30 Apple moving semi-conductor manufacturing to AZ and up state NY. This is due to China and Biden policies. Given the timing of breaking ground until opening doors, the opening will be in ~2025 when hopefully Trump is President again. BB thinks this is the biggest Devolution Proof. Apple the largest company in the world, is being FORCED to adopt Trump era Ex. Orders. Just Human adds these are generational decisions and are made because ‘Nothing Can Stop What is Coming’

@ 1:38:30 BB – “…Fortune 500 companies are being Forced by Ex Order… the semi conductor thing is where I see the actual sauce of an alliance between elements within China and White hats in the US. BECAUSE these deals REQUIRE BOTH SIDES!” Ex orders BY CHINA Joe PLUS TARIFFS PLACED BY XI ON US SEMI-CONDUCTOR PRODUCTION IN CHINA!….”

This is where things get very very interesting.

@ 1:39:30 Burning Bright says: “…My percolating theory is in China there are regional magistrates, that are essentially governors who are LEGACY FAMILIES. They have enormous control historically in China. Think of what we were given a glimpse of during Covid, of our governors but if they were almost kings unto themselves. That’s how it really works in China. I have been exploring their political history. And Xi has been doing a lot to change that. And to pull a lot of that regional power into the executive. And whats funny… is the media sometimes tells you the truth by accident. So a lot of the media fear mongering about China right now and about President XI, is the fact he is nationalizing a lot of power and he is taking power from the regional magistrates and transferring it to the Executive branch. And Xi is saying I am transferring it to the people who are voting for me, just like Trump said… and these magistrates HAD THEIR OWN STANDING ARMIES…I didn’t know this until recently. It was all regional armies, Xi is the one who put them under an executive branch…”

@ 1:41:10 Just Human brings up the point that these regional armies are why China is so militant. It is baked in. That the regional magistrates are who crack down on people…

@ 1:42:00 BB says he thinks Xi PLAYED the globalists. The media was cheering Xi several years ago and is now saying Xi centralizing power is BAD. Xi is the one who coined the term multipolar world order not Putin. That is NOT a globalist World Order. Xi wants REGIONAL power structures. BB knows an American in China and his region did not get locked down…. You have been seeing regions like Shanghai were really really bad. And what’s funny is when you dig into all the arrests… of CCP members, most of them are happening in Shanghai. Shanghai standing committees, Shanghai regional government. A lot of the people in these kind of regions are the ones who have been arrested and put before committees. I could be wrong and Xi is consolidating power to launch a war against the USA but the moves he is make seem to me … he is forcing these American Super Corporations out of his country. Covid and the lockdowns allowed China to cut off trade. To break the supply chains which wasn’t good initially. There is short term pain associated with that. Just like there was for us…. But now a lot of that stuff is being on-shored which is a good thing. Which is a long term good thing. You need to turn that around and think of it from China’s perspective as well… China can produce all it’s own stuff. The only reason they have needed us is because Chinese Oligarchs and these regional magistrates, these legacy families, they have owned everything. They have had this slave labor going on…. I think we could be heading towards a place where places like Russia and China are starting to nationalize, get rid of this American Oligarchy and what will hopefully be happening is the growth of real middle classes…. What sparked this thought is Xi is not putting tariffs on the United States but on specific companies….

@ 1:45:40 Just Human: We have tariffs on specific Chinese companies but we also have Chinese companies Red listed and Black listed and those have EXPENDED UNDER BIDEN…. It makes me wonder if the deals the Bidens had were with Xi or with these Chinese regional powers…. And Xi cut the strings to those regional powers….

@ 1:46:30 Burning Bright: …What about all the information that has leaked out of China about the Bidens…

>>>>>>>>>

Some interesting tidbits.
Xi had Obama exit out of the ass end of the plane while Trump was not only given the red carpet treatment, he was allowed in the Forbidden City and treated to a banquet. (THINK NO SPY DEVICES) Trump had Xi visit the Southern White House, Mar-a-Lago. (THINK NO SPY DEVICES)
Trump had interpreters BANNED from speaking to anyone about the content of his meetings with Putin. He also had a one-on-one meeting with NO interpreters. All three of these men are ‘MY NATION FIRST’ nationalists and not globalists. Burning Bright calls this the Sovereign Alliance.

China ‘dismantled’ CIA spying operations and killed sources – report – The Guardian

May 20, 2017: The Chinese government “systematically dismantled” CIA spying operations in the country starting in late 2010 and killed or imprisoned at least a dozen CIA sources over the next two years, it was reported on Saturday….

The number of CIA assets lost in China rivaled those lost in the Soviet Union and Russia as a result of the betrayals by CIA officer Aldrich Ames and FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who were arrested in 1994 and 2001 respectively, the report said.

As many as 20 CIA sources were killed or imprisoned in China over a two-year period, the Times said, citing two former senior US officials.… Mr Xi became president in 2013, and quickly consolidated personal power while cementing China as the regional superpower.

He also fought corruption, punishing more than a million party members – which has helped his popularity among some.

At the same time, however, China has clamped down on many emerging freedoms, increasing its state surveillance and censorship programs. Critics also say Mr Xi has used the anti-corruption purge to sideline political rivals….

The Guardian

We know the CIA is part of the Deep State and seems to be working FOR the World Economic Forum and NOT the usa.

China’s Xi allowed to remain ‘president for life’ as term limits removed

March 11, 2018 ….Only five years ago Beijing was being ruled by a collective leadership. Under ex-President Hu Jintao you could imagine differing views being expressed in the then nine-member Politburo Standing Committee….

US President Donald Trump was criticised by some commentators for seeming to approve of Mr Xi’s unlimited rule, saying on Monday: “President for life… I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”

BBC

Just Human noted that while POTUS Trump has bashed China he has NEVER criticized Xi. He calls him a ‘Great Friend’ and ‘I respect him very much’… @ 1:54:30

So Let’s Take A quick Look at Xi.

Timeline – The rise of Chinese leader Xi Jinping

This is KEY:

June 15, 1953 – XI IS BORN
Xi Jinping is born in Beijing a “princeling” child of an official. His father, Xi Zhongxun, fought in the Communist revolution and later served as an official, rising to become a liberal-minded vice premier. The young Xi grew up among the party elite but saw his father purged and later jailed during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, only to be rehabilitated and allowed back into government after Mao’s death. [Xi would have been 13 when his father was jailed – GC]


1974 – PARTY MAN
After being sent to work in the poverty-stricken countryside, in Shaanxi province, as a teenager during the Cultural Revolution, Xi joins the Communist Youth League and then, in 1974, the party, at the age of about 21.


Sept. 9, 1976 – MAO DIES
Mao Zedong, the “Great Helmsman”, dies at the age of 82. Xi is 23 and a chemical engineering student [I do not know about China but Chem Eng is rated one of the hardest college degree courses – #4 – in the USA. This means Xi is brilliant. – GC] at Tsinghua University. China goes into mourning and Hua Guofeng, Mao’s handpicked successor, takes over. For a time, Hua is treated like Mao, but he is eventually sidelined by Deng Xiaoping who sets China on a more practical, less dogmatic, path.

REUTERS

So as a teen, Xi watched his father be jailed and went from being a pampered ‘princeling’ to most likely being a farm worker. This man is NOT dumb so he kept his head down, and joined the Communist Youth League and then, in 1974, the Communist party. He is rewarded by being allowed to become a chem engineering student, despite the jailing of his father.

OH, and Chairman Mao was a Yale man….

I find this a very interesting comment about Xi’s attitude towards the USA.

China Picks at the Scab to Keep the Wound Fresh

[QUOTE]

A passage from an essay by the Australian defense analyst Paul Monk is very telling on the subject of what President Xi intends for Asia’s near future:

In any case, Xi Jinping, despite his genial smile, good English, and familiarity with the United States, is no reforming liberal.  Shortly after assuming the presidency, he took all the members of his politburo with him to the bizarre museum the Party has built in Tiananmen Square – the museum of national humiliation and revival.  He pointed out to them the exhibits showing the arrival of the Jesuits via Macao in the sixteenth century and how this had been the beginning of the infiltration and humiliation of China by the West.  He pointed out the exhibits showing the Japanese invasions of China and making the unfounded assertion that the Japanese were defeated by the Communist Party with a little help from “good” Nationalist generals.  The Americans, he said, then became the enemy.  “Against this external enemy,” he told China’s inner group of top leaders, “we must stick together.”

That leads to:
Lessons of history: China’s century of humiliation: The repercussions of British opportunism in China during the Opium Wars can be felt in geopolitics even today

…It all started with the British discovering an ingenious trading system to reduce the empire’s mounting trade deficit after the conquest of India in the 18th century. By 1790, the deficit had risen to £28 million and swelled much beyond it by 1820, when the British trading community and the government found the perfect solution for the situation: Indian opium. Taking advantage of Chinese fondness for the Indian variety, British merchants bribed Chinese officials to allow entry of chests of opium shipped from British-ruled India, though such imports had long been banned by imperial decree in China. Between 1800 and 1818, the average annual traffic of opium to China was 4,000 chests (with each chest containing about 64 kilograms of opium); by 1831, the number of chests touched 20,000; and by 1840, when the British East India Company had lost its monopoly on the trade and the market was full of private merchants, the sales touched nearly 40,000.

An attempt by the Chinese authorities to control the trade at the port of Canton by destroying large consignments of opium and publicly executing drug merchants resulted in a massive British army from India invading China, running through Canton and seizing the tax barges on the Yangtze. The blow proved disastrous. The Treaty of Nanjing signed in 1842 forced China to pay an indemnity to Britain and open four ports to it, and give up Hong Kong to the Queen. The Second Opium War (1856-1860), led by an Anglo-French coalition, ended in further ignominy for the Chinese: Beijing’s famed Old Summer Palace was gutted as a reprisal for the torture of a British mediation team; the treaties signed to conclude the war forced China to open full-scale trading relations with the West, legalise opium trade throughout the country, cede Kowloon and pay a total indemnity of 5 million ounces of silver to the British and the French…

Let’s take a quick look at the USA, especially the Federal Reserve.

Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation
Remarks in Congress, 1934


(This is no longer available on Google/duck-duck-go but Yandex will bring it up… Hmmmmm)
….”These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children….

Congressman McFadden

Kinda makes you wonder if the FED Bankers also financed the Japanese War against China to allow the Communist to win there too.

And then if we follow-up on Japanese wars.

China’s Communist Party and Japan: A Forgotten History

….Tokyo’s largest contribution to Chinese nationalism was the invasion of Manchuria and the second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). As two scholars put it, “the plain historical fact [is] that modern Chinese nationalism emerged above all in reaction to Japanese imperialism.” Indeed, in the run-up to the second war, China remained deeply divided along regional, ethnic and ideological grounds. All these disparate actors united immediately prior to the war in hopes that they could defend the country from Japan. The brutality of Japan’s occupation further ingrained Chinese nationalism into the national consciousness. In doing so, Japan made it possible for Mao and the CCP to unify China after the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949)….

Before the second Sino-Japanese War commenced, the Communist Party was locked in a death struggle with Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT. The CCP fared poorly in this conflict, suffering repeated defeats at the hands of the Nationalists.

By the end of 1934, the CCP was on the verge of extinction after KMT troops delivered another heavy blow to the Red Army in Jiangxi Province, which forced the party to undertake the now infamous Long March to Xi’an in the northwestern province of Shaanxi. Chiang initially pursued the Communist forces, and would have almost certainly delivered a final blow to the CCP if war with Japan could have been delayed. As it turned out, Chiang was not able to put off the war with Japan any longer, and domestic and international pressure forced him to accept a tacit alliance with the CCP against Japan.

And speaking of J.P. Morgan:


Congressional Record, February 9, 1917 — J.P. Morgan interests buy 25 of America’s leading newspapers and insert their own editors

Mr. CALLAWAY: “…In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, ship building and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press in the United States….”

Congressional Record

Getting back to China, the Brits and opium, Brian Cates wondered how the Triads fit in. After all, just like in the USA today, you need local suppliers to serve as middlemen and gangs fit the bill very nicely.

A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism by Eustace Mullins Published by : Ezra Pound Institute of Civilization

(Mullins is the author of The Secrets of the Federal Reserve)

…In 1715 the British East India Co. opened its first Far East office in Canton. Crown Policy deliberately fostered opium addiction among the natives to facilitate British political control. The British Empire was then threatened with bankruptcy if it lost the American colonies. In order to defeat the rebels, the profits of the opium trade with China were sent to the Elector of Hesse via Mayer Amschel Rothschild to hire 16,800 Hessian troops. Thus the drug traffic and the Rothschilds played a pivotal role in American history, although it has been ignored or deleted from the history books.

David Ricardo, father of the quantity theory of money and the “rent”, or loot theory, was on the Court of Proprietors of the East India Co. He had John Stuart Mill appointed as Chief Examiner. The colonial minister of England during the Opium Wars was Edward Bulwer Lytton, who wrote the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, bringing England E21 million in silver and control over the free port of Hong Kong. Britain then allied with the Hong Society, the Triads and Assassins, to rule the Chinese to the present time. Bulwer Lytton’s son was Viceroy of India during the 1880s at the height of the opium trade, and sponsored Rudyard Kipling’s writings about the British Raj in India. The profiteers from the drug trade included William, Earl of Shelburne, who organized Britain’s first Intelligence Service, whose agents were drawn from Britain’s leading families. Its chairman was George Baring, and it employed Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and Thomas Malthus. [The Malthusian Theory of Population is a theory of exponential population growth and arithmetic food supply growth.] The Geneva headquarters was run by the Mallet Prevost family, whose descendants include Allen Dulles of the CIA. Basil Lubbock’s work, The Opium Clippers, 1933, lists the principal owners of British vessels engaged in the opium trade, with color illustrations of their flags. Most of them were ex-slavers. [A listing follows]….

Red China’s mutterings about taking over Hong Kong when the present lease expires in 1997 allows insiders of the World Order opportunity to increase their fortunes in the volatile Hong Kong real estate market. Red China has to allow the British to operate in this trading area to assure the supply of hard currency from the drug trade. When the British took over this trading area in 1843, they maintained control of the local population through the Triads, the Assassins, as the Hong Society was known, also called the Honorable Society, and the Society of Heaven, Earth and Man. Dan E. Mayers wrote in Fortune, Aug.6, 1984, “British colonial rule in Hong Kong is not democracy. Britain rules by decree in all matters of importance. Hong Kong Chinese don’t have democratic rights.”

Opium began as a cash crop in the poppy-fields of Asia Minor, particularly in Turkey, where it is still an important crop today. In 1516, opium was the official monopoly of the Great Mogul in Kuch Behar. When opium reached China, about 1729, Emperor Yung Chen prohibited its use. In 1757, with Clive’s great victory at Plassy, the East India Co. took over the opium monopoly as part of its spoils from the Indian Moguls. When the British promoted the use of East India’s opium in China, as payment for raw materials needed by their Industrial Revolution (they had been paying in silver), the Emperor Tao Kwang repeatedly warned them to stop selling opium in his country. When these warnings were ignored, the Emperor burned 20,291 chests of opium in 1830, a hoard valued at 2 million pounds. This precipitated the British Opium Wars of 1839-42 and 1856-60…

TRIADS AND ORGANIZED CRIME IN CHINA


Criminal gangs are found throughout China but are most active in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang and Guangzhou as well as Hong Kong. The number of people involved in organized crime on the mainland has risen from around 100,000 in 1986 to around 1.5 million in 2000…

Triads are the most well-known organized crime group in China, Hong Kong and Macao. In addition to them are other large organized crime gangs. The Big Circles is a loose alliance of criminal gangs founded by former Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution. Their individual names refer to the detention centers where they were “re-educated.” They are active in snakehead human trafficking and other criminal operations….

The Triads are believed to control an empire worth many billions of dollars. The largest and most powerful Triad, Sun Yee On, is believed to have 40,000 members. The unnamed “Dragon Head” of Kong Sun Yee On, was named on Asiaweek’s list of the 50 most powerful people in Asia.

Sun Yee On is believed to be particularly well connected with the Hong Kong tycoons and Communist party elite. One high-level Communist official even referred to them as “patriotic.” The second and third largest Triads respectively are Who Sing Who and 14K (14 stands for the road number of a former headquarters and K stands for Kowloon)…

This makes me wonder if the ‘Legacy Families’ especially in Shanghai, are connected to the Triads. It would help explain Xi’s targeting that area.

Triads, Gangs, Thugs and Chinese Politics – We’ve Been Here Before

The apparent appearance of hired thugs, probably from Guangdong organised crime gangs, on the streets of Hong Kong harassing the democracy movement has been blamed on the Mainland Chinese government’s tendency to use such people to stir up trouble and chaos at everything from property development disputes (beating residents slow to leave) to labour strikes (beating up workers) in recent years. As well as a rather handy non-uniformed enforcement body, the thugs provide the government with the opportunity to claim divisions within society and justify the need for state forces to step in to stop the chaos. Some in the foreign media and casual observers have found this tactic hard to understand and difficult to countenance. However, there is a long history of China’s post-1911 governments using triads, gangs and hired thugs to intervene and either stir up, or repress, volatile situations and deal with perceived “enemies” of the state. The roots of the triads and other secret societies mostly reach back anti-Qing organisations, but we don’t need to go quite that far back…

So let’s go back to 1927….and Shanghai….

To cut a long story short (Chinese history stories are always long of course) Chiang Kai-shek, at the end of his Northern Expedition, wished to purge Shanghai of communists, leftists and unions. He needed help in the International Settlement and Frenchtown where his troops could not freely roam (as the PLA cannot in Hong Kong). The Green Gang and Red Gang offered to help….

Infernal affairs: how triads embraced communist China

The savage beating of Hong Kong protesters by a mob of triad gangsters has deepened fears about the city’s notorious criminal gangs and the use of shadowy hired muscle to defend China’s interests. At least 45 people were hospitalised after Sunday’s attack when men armed with poles and rods assaulted anti-government protesters in the rural town of Yuen Long as they returned from another huge rally.

In a city that prides itself on a reputation for safety the scenes caused outrage and fear. They also offered a glimpse into an underworld that has long stalked the city. For seasoned watchers of Hong Kong and its shadowy nexus of organised crime, the brazen beatings came as little surprise.

In recent years, analysts say, there has been a growing tendency for thugs to target perceived threats to Beijing — in Hong Kong, on the Chinese mainland and even in Taiwan.

“When the Communist Party of China finds it inconvenient for it to do something, it will use those gangsters on its behalf,” local Hong Kong political analyst Dixon Sing told AFP….

PATRIOTIC CHINESE TRIADS AND SECRET SOCIETIES: FROM THE IMPERIAL DYNASTIES, TO NATIONALISM, AND COMMUNISM

Conclusion

Secret societies are not always criminal enterprises, but triad societies are by definition criminal in Hong Kong and have been the basis of organised criminal gangs. Triad and secret societies are useful criminal platforms because of their secrecy and rituals, which are a means of ensuring that the triad or secret society is enduring in the face of enforcement and suppression by the authorities.

Triads and secret societies have at times reached an accommodation with the authorities, including the Kuomintang, the British and Japanese occupying Hong Kong, and the Communist Party of China. The Kuomintang and the CPC have based their legitimacy on the principle of unifying China, which resonates with the origins of triad societies in “Faan Qing Fuk Ming”, deposing the Manchu Qing dynasty and restoring the Han Chinese Ming dynasty. Some have joined triad and secret societies for opportunist reasons, for instance Chiang Kai Shek’s membership of the Green Gang seems likely to have been for personal advancement and to make use of the gang’s power. The membership of Dr. Sun Yat Sen of multiple secret societies is more complex as most were dedicated to or were vehicles to overthrow the Qing dynasty, and hence his motives were nationalistic.

Triads became established as a tool of the Nationalists before and after the 1911 revolution. Some triads prospered in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation from 1941 and continued their criminal business after liberation in 1945. From the 1990s triads seem to have been acknowledged as acceptable to China as part of the CPC United Front.

In this context, triad and secret societies have often considered themselves patriotic, but this has at least in the 20th and 21st centuries been an accommodation with political powers that could facilitate the underlying criminal businesses of triad societies. Patriotism has been a pretext for some triad and secret societies and has hence contributed to the enduring existence of triad societies into the 21st century.

I would hazard a guess that some of those ‘Old Established Families’ Burning Bright mentions are the heads of Triads who made their fortunes via the Brits and the Opium Trade. I think the Communists and the Triads came to an agreement under Mao.

From the CIA Library:

CONSPIRATORS’ HIERARCHY: THE STORY OF THE COMMITTEE OF 300
by Dr. John Coleman

It is 169 pages. A skim through it shows the plans of the Committee of 300 and today’s events show how they are coming true. It also dovetails with my own research that connects The British East India Company, the Opium Wars with control of China today.

FOREWORD

In my career as a professional intelligence officer, I had many occasions to access highly classified documents, but during service as a political science officer in the field in Angola, West Africa, I had the opportunity to view a series of top secret classified documents which were unusually explicit. What I saw filled me with anger and resentment and launched me on a course from which I have not deviated, namely to uncover what power it is that controls and manages the British and United States governments….

,,,The drug trade is controlled by the Committee of 300 from the Top down. The drug trade started with the British East India Company and was closely followed by the Dutch East India Company. Both were controlled by a “Council of 300.” The list of names of members and stockholders of the BEIC read like something out of Debretts Peerage. BEIC established the “China Inland Mission,” whose job it was to get The Chinese peasants, or coolies, as they were called, addicted to opium. This created the market for opium which the BEIC then filled.

In much the same way the Committee of 300 used “The “Beatles” to popularize “social drugs” with the youth of America and The Hollywood “in-crowd.” ….

The truth is that the supply of opium to China was a British monopoly, an OFFICIAL monopoly of the British government and official British policy. The Indo-British opium trade in China was one of the best kept secrets…

…These addicts did not suddenly materialize out of thin air, any more than did teenager addicts in the U.S. THE POINT TO REMEMBER IS THAT BOTH WERE CREATED….

….The BEIC is gone but the descendants of the Council of 300 linger on in the membership of the Committee of 300. The oldest of the oligarchical British families who were leaders in the opium trade for the past 200 years are still in it today. Take the Mathesons, for instance. This “noble” family is one of the pillars of the opium trade. When things looked a bit shaky a few years ago, the Mathesons stepped in and gave China a loan of $300 million for real estate investment. 

The lucrative drug trade is one of the worst examples of making money out of human misery; the other being the legal drug trade run by the pharmaceutical drug houses under Rockefeller ownership, in the U.S. for the most part, but with substantial companies operating in Switzerland, France and Britain and fully backed by the American Medical Association (AMA). The dirty dope transactions and the money it generates flows through the City of London, together with Hong Kong, Dubai and latterly, Lebanon…

[It goes on to quote H.G. Wells —] ” … a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY– PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.”…”

At least 4 billion “useless eaters” shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases and starvation. Energy, food and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, start-ing with the White populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races. The population of Canada, Western Europe and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents, until the world’s population reaches a manageable level of 1 billion, of which 500 million will consist of Chinese and Japanese races, selected because they are people who have been regimented for centuries and who are accustomed to obeying authority without question. 

Coleman

Remember all of Pfizer’s Safety work is conducted in China two R&D “functions run exclusively at Wuhan and nowhere else in the world… our Wuhan teams manage the clinical trial registry information and clinical trial master files for all Pfizer’s medicinesAND Pfizer“employed 69 known members of the Chinese Communist Party.” Therefore I do not find it surprising to find China has NOT used mRNA vaccines.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20230209

Head’s Up – Apparently, There’s a Limit on Tweets Now?

That was my question.

The approved GOPe script, a construct of multinational financial influence and background motive, was/is intended to write President Donald Trump out of the Republican political framework. Governor Huckabee-Sanders went along with the plan. She, along with all of the non-pretenders, knows this, as all of them do. It is a sad acceptance to realize just how metastasized the political cancer has become, and how few can hold firm against the power of the corrupt political apparatus.

And now for the business portion.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.

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.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

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, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

Remember that Holst above? Well….

Yes, I have that descant on verse three practically memorized. We sing it a bit faster, though.

GENESIS 2:18-25

18Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him. 21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; 22and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. 25And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

PSALMS 128:1-5

1Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! 2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4Lo, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. 5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!

MARK 7:24-30

24And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid. 25But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni’cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27And he said to her, “Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” 29And he said to her, “For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

And what I really thought about bringing to the daily:

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.

MARK 7:14-23

14And he called the people to him again, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.” 17And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, 19since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20And he said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. 21For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, 22coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.”

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.

SATIRE SECTION

Are Climate and Animal Rights Extremists Infiltrating Food Processing and Production Facilities on Behalf of WEF?

Sometimes, the answer is right under their nose rings.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-09/protesters-glue-themselves-to-picasso-painting-ngv-in-melbourne/101516560

extinction rebellion banner reads:

“CLIMATE CHAOS = WAR + FAMINE”

The master stroke of the globalists is to create what they want in the name of stopping the same thing. The ultimate satanic deceit.

https://www.powderbulksolids.com/wire-cloth/fire-damages-food-processing-plant

People have been getting scared by the seemingly coordinated yet mysterious disasters in food production facilities. It seems like some kind of scary “phenomenon”. We suspect a human hand, but there seems to be none. It’s as if some mysterious organization like “SPECTRE” or “KAOS” is behind it. Some people have even postulated “DEWs” (directed energy weapons). That’s when I start smelling “disinformation” – likely being planted by allies of actual arsonists and saboteurs. Or is the entire thing just a media effect? Is the Fake News media just playing up “normal” industrial accidents, as a means of “information terrorism” that the media is so skilled at performing for their corporate masters?

Or maybe some of BOTH?

The first time I heard about an egg-laying facility in super-progressive New Zealand catching fire, I realized things were getting very REAL, and potentially UNREAL at the same time. Because of the years of extreme fakery and lies coming from the Ardern regime, I figured something might be up – real or not.

The second time I heard about that egg-laying facility catching fire, a thought fully formed.

You remember those climate activists.

https://www.clevernotes.in/agriculture-geography-environment/climate-activists-protest-by-defacing-art-upsc-892744

I know from certain sources that the FBI was, at one time, very heavy in following the “animal rights” groups and protesters. Ironically, because FBI is extremely woke now, and because agents at a certain level pick their own cases, this enforcement has languished.

Just ask Gail Combs about the tolerance of climate and animal activists by the regime (see comments below, and references to prior posts). They are used in a one-sided war against independent operations and small farmers, on behalf of government and large corporate interests.

Part of the reason governments are not responding well to these arsons of food processors, IMO, is because they are ideologically aligned with the arsonists.

Take Canada, for instance, ruled by “Baby Castro” Trudeau – who is WEF incarnate.

These government agencies are not looking out for us. They’re looking out for the hoaxy, insane, climate narrative, and those who benefit from it.

Anyway, I am creating this post, in part to create a nice tweetable LINK to advance the theory of INFILTRATION AND SABOTAGE/ARSON OF FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES – likely by climate commies and animal rights activists, in coordination with WEF’s climate and “EAT ZEE BUGS” agendas.

Please feel free to add anything you’d like in the comments. I want to make sure that there is a strong PUSHBACK on these dangerous climate ninnies and their fellow animal rights crazies. Not to mention the evil, insane, and dangerous World Economic Forum, and the evil forces behind it.

If they win, we won’t just be eating bugs. We’ll be eating grass – like my mother did in World War II.

GENESIS 1:20–2:4

1 20And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens.” 21So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. 2 1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation. 4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Tough Tendons, Quincy – Give Us The Proof!

It’s Time to Just Say “NO” to “Unknown Causes”

Arm yourself with knowledge and links to the scientific literature, for that moment when they try to spin the jab death of your friend or relative as mere “sudden death”, and you want an autopsy to prove it was the jab.


There was ONE MORE LAMENT in reply to ONE MORE TWEET about ONE MORE “SUDDEN DEATH” that just pissed me off ONE TIME TOO MANY.

That person made the most AMAZING point.

Remember all those Hollywood tales – those geeky murder mysteries – about noble coroners and medical examiners – those brave pathologists who risked their “gun-free” lives to tell the world the TRUTH about some sinister hidden murder?

Yeah? Well, WHERE THE HELL IS QUINCY NOW?

It’s not like there’s no suspect.

There are THOUSANDS of these tweets – dozens more every week – maybe a dozen a day about FAMOUS PEOPLE. The numbers of obscure, anonymous plebes like us, dying “suddenly” of “unknown causes”, must be a thousand a day, in America alone. Or maybe even more.

YOU KNOW WHAT’S DOING IT, TOO.

So – like what – is Quincy just gonna let ’em all SKATE?

It’s not like we’re even getting ALL TALK and NO ACTION from “coroner world”.

It’s not like we’re even getting NO TALK from coroner world.

It’s more like they’re going out of their way to SHUT UP the talkers.

Seriously – the idea of going after one of the few people who is willing to speak the truth – it’s beyond a travesty.

THEY’RE GOING AFTER THE HANDFUL OF REAL QUINCYS.

Just read this propaganda, if you can stomach it.

So what do we do?

I say we FIGHT BACK by SAYING NO – our greatest power.

We say NO to their “fake beef”.

We say NO to their “eat zee bugs”.

We say NO to their defective, cell nucleus-penetrating, gene-hacking jab.

AND WE SAY NO TO “UNKNOWN CAUSES”.

BECAUSE WE CAN.

You see, there is another brave pathologist in Germany, who worked with a brave Thai immunologist, also in Germany, to discover and then tell the truth about the vaccines.

LINK: https://www.bitchute.com/video/fHIT55iM4Zv9/


So what’s the point?

The point is that coroners, pathologists, and medical examiners are being FORCED, by the neo-liberal, NEO-SOVIET state, to PRETEND NOT TO KNOW that it’s the jabs.

What these “neo-Bolsheviks” are doing, is to force their insistence that good Bolsheviks “pretend not to know”, on the rest of us, who DO KNOW, and who are willing to admit it.

All you have to do, is to say NO, when the coroners try to pass that bullshit on to YOU.

If YOU have a “sudden death” in your family or circle of friends, you don’t have to take a diagnosis of “unknown causes”, or worse yet, “blame-casting” to lifestyle, climate change, or whatever else they come up with on the fly.

You do NOT have to play stupid to coroner and medical examiner “authority”.

You have the power to FORCE THE CORONER – LEGALLY – to examine for a specific cause of death, and to give you ALL the evidence, by freedom of information. That way, even if they LIE TO YOUR FACE, you can take the results to another pathologist, and have the results CONTRADICTED PUBLICLY.

What you need – when they play dumb – is (1) a lawyer, and (2) SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE.

You need to TELL THEM – ahead of the autopsy, that you EXPECT them to test relevant tissue for evidence of damage by the jab, and if they say it can’t be done, you TELL them you’re going to send them the necessary scientific literature on how to do it, and that you will have the lawyer send it to them by registered mail.

We are giving you the scientific literature now, so that you have it handy. Having a lawyer’s name and number ready, so that you can be “insistent” on an autopsy, is your responsibility.

Here is the relevant scientific literature – in TWO LINKS (plus backups).

LINK 1: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf

LINK 2: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00392-022-02129-5.pdf

LINK 2b: https://odysee.com/@SixthSense-Truth-Search-Labs:0/s00392-022-02129-5:f

You can download and print out these two PDF files, so that – in the best tradition of a Quincy episode, you can throw back your 80’s hair and SLAP THAT ROLLED-UP PAPER in the coroner’s chest, and tell him (or her):

“IF YOU CAN’T DO IT, THEN CALL QUINCY!”

They may tell you “it’s expensive”. You laugh in their faces. And then you TELL THEM WHY. Whether you join a future class action suit against Pfizer and Moderna, or whether you go to the Deep State Vaccine Payoff Board, either way, PROOF OF INJURY is how you will get it all paid back, with INTEREST.

Right now, coroners only have “pressure from above” – and that is why they NEVER speak the truth.

WE have the power to push back from below, and to GET THE TRUTH.


So HEY, all you FAKE QUINCYS – here’s a message from MISS QUINCY. As you sit back and let them skate. Just like everyone else.

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

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.

Here are three “placeholder” videos, selected from old Wheatie posts.

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.

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.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:


placeholderama

noun

  • the second year of placeholder posts on The Q Tree
  • Wolf’s collection of dummy posts that he alters if he gets the chance
  • justice for more than one swamp rat in Washington

Used in a Sentence:

“OMG, they’re not only placing Eric Holder under arrest – they’re arresting all his cronies – it’s a veritable placeholderama!”

Used in a Picture of Women Prison Guards Watching Eric Holder in Solitary in DC Gitmo:

ENJOY THE SHOW

Have another great week!

Back In My Day: Goober Gump’s Misadventures – A Box of Assorted Chocolates

Before we move on to Goober Gump’s more recent adventures of the past 25 years or so, it is time to revisit some lessons learned through the years, some politics, some faith journey observations, and “wonder what happened to…” answers from the period. Instead of meandering prose, I will go point by point. Goober’s own version of “Momma said…”.

Lessons Learned

Most of us want to live in freedom and peace. We disdain conflict and oppression as natural instincts. Our opposition knows that and uses it to their advantage until there is major pushback.

Never trust the government’s word for anything.

I am responsible for me. Pointing fingers at others solves nothing.

The first step to personal freedom is to accept you are going to physically die at some point. Accept it, then you will be more prepared for when it happens.

Many of us take human interaction too casually. Many of us simply do not realize or even care how our actions and words impact others around us. That is a choice we also make – to care about the well being of others or not.

All of us deal with something in our lives that had or is having a negative impact. Nobody is exempt from trouble.

Honest intentions matter even if we mess up the delivery of what we intended.

It is what it is. To pretend it is not, will not change what it is.

Truth is truth and does not need any of us to agree with it to be true. I learned I liked being on the side of truth no matter the cost.

Avoid interaction with people who frame all of their arguments. They are not interested in discussion or considering other thoughts, just persuading you to accept theirs.

Law enforcement and the judiciary may be mercenaries as well as controlled opposition at times.

Politicians create situations while passing and using laws to achieve personal and sometimes, nefarious ends. Law enforcement and judiciary play their parts in making it happen. At times the alphabets are used by powerful people who will move you out of their way, ruin you and kill you if necessary to achieve their goals. J6 was all you needed to see if you did not know it before. Stay out of their crosshairs if at all possible, but never back away from the truth if you believe in eternal life.

If you can retain your integrity and values while being involved in politics, law enforcement and the judiciary – America needs you desperately.

Powerful people and politicians create conflict to make even more money and gain even more power that compels average folks to go to war, figuratively and literally, to defend their families, communities and nation. Those same powerful people then take credit for the positives, if any, that come from the warfare while enriching themselves regardless of the outcome. Their names go into the history books, not yours. Choose your involvement wisely.

Sacrificing principles and truth for the sake of reconciliation or to build consensus is not a good idea.

Music can help heal the mind and soul. It may also be used to lead you astray and cause depression and even death. Choose your music wisely.

Those who have accomplished much in their careers and lives have common characteristics. They identify what they want to accomplish and what drives them to succeed. They then put in the work and do it their way. In virtually all of their cases in this BIMD series, they paid it forward in some way(s) that have provided great benefits to others. I have learned that most do it because they truly care and want to leave the world a better place.

Money can corrupt our lives if we allow it. Money is a tool, not an end goal.

Don’t overthink things.

Embrace change.

Some people delight in the destruction of others regardless of having reason to or not.

You can recover from personal disasters and be restored in a manner far beyond your greatest expectations. Never. Give. Up.

Politics

Some people are willing to sell their souls to be elected (appointed) master over others.

Many elected officials have honest intentions to serve their constituents’ best interests when first elected. I have learned this view frequently changes to one of being served and dictating what they want to have happen during the rest of their careers.

Most politicians become corrupted by special interests, so they enter office compromised in some way. They build alliances along the way to being elected and add to them afterwards. They richly profit from this activity.

The Uniparty in America is real and has run government for many years. They have a system that confuses the general public, yet is well known to them in playing their parts.

If you do not play politics well and are not willing to dance with the devil, stay out.

This country and parts of the world are ruled by The Big Club. There are a number of smaller clubs that contribute members, support and assets as needed to accomplish the desires of Big Club members. Many of the American Big Club members laugh at the mention of being Democrat or Republican. They are neither. They run in the same circles and are friends and business associates.

Election cheating has been a thing in America for over 200 years. The process utilized has evolved, but the intent is still the intent – appoint who serves The Big Club the best using whatever method is necessary.

Faith Journey

I learned the greatest of these is love, however, it is faith in Jesus that sustains me.

It is on me to investigate and consider all information and data to determine truth or lies. I choose to do that through the instructions of Jesus. That is my world view. Others may choose to take different routes. That choice is theirs to make. You own your choice.

You gotta serve somebody, just like Bob Dylan sang. If you don’t choose who, the choice will be made for you.

God’s natural creation is beautiful.

I chose one day who me and my house would serve just like Joshua. Joshua 24:15.

Life is in the blood. COVID is a current reminder. The Cross is the permanent reminder. No greater love has ever been expressed than at Calvary.

As a citizen you either believe America was dedicated to God in its founding documents or you do not. It should be obvious why that is important. Nations have risen and fallen throughout history based on that belief and choice.

There was no known Jewish presence among the framers and signers of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. There was a total population of around 2500 Jews in America’s population of 2 million people during those days. Only about 100 served in our military during the fight for independence. As a result the God that is referenced in those documents is attributed to the Christian view of same. Just an observation to ponder and one I will be bringing back when the Civilized War series returns.

My life and those of my loved ones, friends and co-workers changed noticeably for the better when I made the choice to totally give all of me to Jesus and follow Him. More to come on that subject in the near future.

You can KNOW that He is God and that He loves you, forgives you and will never forsake you. It is entirely up to you. He will not force Himself into your life, you have free will. However, he will respond if you do.

Wonder What Happened To…

My ex? Married to her third husband, the local banker dude her parents targeted before me many years ago. Wish they had succeeded. Her parents have passed away.

Many of my friends in Arkansas who were not tied to the area by family associations moved away. The SAC AF base was closed and with it went a thousand related area jobs and dozens of businesses who could no longer survive. Many farming families in the region sold out to corporate farming operations. The community has declined significantly in population and become a blip on the radar screen of life. Fortunately for the locals, the Bush’s Beans canning operation remains.

The banking officers and staff I worked with in East TN back in those days have also moved on via relocation, leaving the industry and retirements. It was a tumultuous time in the industry with mergers and acquisitions all of the time. Gone are the older, experienced bankers who had seen the goods and the bads; the ups and downs of the economy who could help guide their customer bases through the dangers. They were replaced with lower paid younger, inexperienced versions who were trained to be order takers with all decisioning made via computers from input of people located hundreds to thousands of miles away. Cookie cutter banking became a thing. Decentralized main street banking gave way to globalist controlled. It extended to government controls and regulation through various acts of Congress and the White House that have led to the bubbles and bursting of same that wrecked havoc on average Americans. Community banks did not die out as the feds and globalists wanted. It was difficult for many due to the compliance needed to satisfy the regulators, so some sold out to larger institutions. However, many flourished and grew stronger as customers became highly dissatisfied with globalist versions. Many other customers found refuge in using credit unions, which exploded in number nationwide. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Equipment Company

The shisters fell victim to the weight of their lies and criminal activity over time. It was totally shuttered back in the debt market and economic collapse of 2008. They began closing locations a couple of years after we settled the lawsuits in the late 1990s. The bank that held their debt finally woke up to the fact they had been conned and began to systematically squeeze them by making them comply with their loan agreements with no waivers. During our lawsuits they believed the lies to some extent until the truth became apparent. Like most bankers they needed to reserve enough potential loss on their own financial statements, so they stalled until it could not be stalled any longer as the regulators could see the company was a fraud. After which they deemed themselves insecure per the loan agreements and called their loans due immediately. The company chose reorganizational bankruptcy that allowed them to liquidate over time and cease existence. Good riddance.

Shocker – FIB, DODGE, IRS, EPA, etc. did nothing to the company and its owners and operators despite all of the criminal activity. I presume their attorney/Chairman called in favors or bluffed his way through it. The only difficulty they faced while still operating came from the Chairman of the state’s Underground Storage Tank governance; a long time local friend and business during those days. He made sure they were audited and tested regularly for the period they remained in business, which made me smile.

The company’s attorney/Chairman lost his golden goose that laid the golden egg and it was not long thereafter, his law firm went with it. Our referral to the Board of Professional Responsibility dinged his record and word spread within the legal community that alerted many to the snake he really was. The firm lost clients and could not attract new ones. Other attorneys in the firm left until there was only he and his son. They closed it down soon after as he could no longer milk the equipment company for any income. He is in his 80s and still resides in the area, albeit in poor health.

The patriarch owner of the equipment company passed away soon after the termination of the lawsuits to very little fanfare. He was a miserable human being. His wife is still alive and in her early 90s. Her GM son, now in his early 60s, is still around doing nothing along with his older brother. When their mom dies they will probably sell the family farm and live off of the proceeds.

My attorneys from the lawsuit are nearing retirement, yet remain active in the firm. Good guys.

The FIB agents retired and moved away from the area. The assistant US attorney retired and remains in the area.

Arkansas Mafia

The Arkansas mafia deserves a special section. Several from the cast of characters bit the dust and aged out. A few went to prison like Jim Guy Tucker who was governor after Slick. He was convicted in Whitewater and had to leave office. Mike Huckabee followed him as Governor. Note: it took nearly 20 years for Ken Starr to take down some of the Whitewater participants from the time the mess began as I was leaving my Little Rock bank employer. A summary version that would satisfy Democrat viewpoint is provided in the link below.

https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/whitewater-scandal-4061/

Tucker was another of the Harvard educated crowd of politicians and globalist business people in that state. This was a common denominator along with other liberal college and graduate school grads as we have seen play out over the years. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Northwestern, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, etc. are all listed on resumes. A handful also came through West Point and Annapolis. The Harvard educated politicos included Tucker and Wilbur Mills (of Fanne Foxe stripper fame) as well as Sen. Cotton today. As the older heads left the scene, their younger lieutenants stepped onto the stage. Slowly over time many were fired by voters as Mike Huckabee, a wealthy businessman/attorney named Sheffield Nelson and others remade the GOP. The same Sheffield Nelson who was a Dem during the Clinton rise to power who switched to the GOP and became a mortal enemy of the Arkansas Mafia and its wealthy kingmakers; patriarch, Witt Stephens, and brother, Jack, that I featured in a previous BIMD. Not only did he pizz off Witt and Jack, he switched to support the GOP when the Stephens had just switched horses to the Dems and Clinton. It’s highly doubtful Sheffield was ever invited into membership at Augusta National by Jack as he had cut himself out of membership in The Big Club. I doubt he lost any sleep over it.

For a more fair link on Sheffield Nelson see below.

To add more “color” to Whitewater and Nelson’s anti-Clinton and supporters position, this Newsweek article from those days provides it.

https://www.newsweek.com/source-whitewater-190308

It took a lot of principled men and women to turn Arkansas around politically. When they did America began to be served well. Which led to this lady bursting onto the scene as a future leader with whom many Americans can identify.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/02/gov-sarah-huckabee-sanders-deliver-republican-response-bidens-state-union-address/

By being loyal to President Trump and never backing down from the fake news media, she earned her place in American history. The citizens of Arkansas voted her into the governor’s mansion by a 2:1 margin in her first run for public office. The move away from liberal politics and politicians has been completed in that state and the remaining Establishment types are next on the removal agenda. Once the general public recognized the indoctrination and brainwashing of students by liberal colleges and graduate schools, their presence on a political candidate’s resume in the state became disqualifying. Other than Cotton, the vast majority were educated in the state.

Sort of a strange and ironic observation is that three Arkansas governors were born in the same small town of Hope, AR; one of which who became POTUS. Even Clintonites Mack McLarty and Vince Foster were from the town. The town has a population of less than 9K today and is located in a rural nowhere in the southwestern corner of the state. With their elections, you could not pick two families and supporters that are more polar opposite in their morals, ethics and politics. Which is similar to the rest of America. The good news in that state is the white hats replaced the black hats.

Conclusion

We will resume the steady march toward DC and Wall Street with the next BIMD. Of course Goober will need to make a left turn to Cali along the way. He wouldn’t be Goober if the journey went without incident. Oh well…

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.”


The End of the World

The event usually referred to as “the end of the world” (eschaton) is described in 2 Peter 3:10: “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” This is the culmination of a series of events called “the day of the Lord,” the time when God will intervene in human history for the purpose of judgment. At that time, all that God has created, “the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1), He will destroy.

The timing of this event, according to most Bible scholars, is at the end of the 1000-year period called the millennium. During these 1000 years, Christ will reign on earth as King in Jerusalem, sitting on the throne of David (Luke 1:32-33) and ruling in peace but with a “rod of iron” (Revelation 19:15). At the end of the 1000 years, Satan will be released, defeated again, and then cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-10). Then, after a final judgment by God, the end of the world described in 2 Peter 3:10 occurs. The Bible tells us several things about this event.

First, it will be cataclysmic in scope. The “heavens” refers to the physical universe – the stars, planets, and galaxies—which will be consumed by some kind of tremendous explosion that will consume and obliterate all matter as we know it. All the elements that make up the universe will be melted in the “fervent heat” (2 Peter 3:12). This will also be a noisy event, described in different Bible versions as a “roar” (NIV), a “great noise” (KJV), a “loud noise” (CEV), and a “thunderous crash” (AMP). There will be no doubt as to what is happening. Everyone will see and hear it because we are also told that “the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”

Then God will create a “new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1), which will include the “New Jerusalem” (v. 2), the capital city of heaven, a place of perfect holiness, which will come down from heaven to the new earth. This is the city where the saints—those whose names were written in the “Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 13:8)—will live forever. Peter refers to this new creation as “the home of righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13).

Perhaps the most important part of Peter’s description of that day is his question in verses 11-12: “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.” Christians know what is going to happen, and we should live in a way that reflects that understanding. This life is passing away, and our focus should be on the new heavens and earth to come. Our “holy and godly” lives should be a testimony to those who do not know the Savior, and we should tell others about Him so they can escape the terrible fate that awaits those who reject Him. We wait in eager anticipation for God’s “Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.  1 John 2:15-17


But . . . until that time . . .

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

2023·02·04 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

News Flash

Today, it is still the case that Joe Biden didn’t Win.

I realize that to some readers, this might be a shock; surely at some point things must change and Biden will have actually won.

But the past cannot actually be changed.

It will always and forever be the case that Joe Biden didn’t win.

And if you, Leftist Lurker, want to dismiss it as dead white cis-male logic…well, you can call it what you want, but then please just go fuck off. No one here buys that bullshit–logic is logic and facts are facts regardless of skin color–and if you gave it a moment’s rational thought, you wouldn’t either. Of course your worthless education never included being able to actually reason–or detect problems with false reasoning–so I don’t imagine you’ll actually wake up as opposed to being woke.

As Ayn Rand would sometimes point out: Yes, you are free to evade reality. What you cannot do is evade the consequences of evading reality. Or to put it concretely: You can ignore the Mack truck bearing down on you as you play in the middle of the street, you won’t be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring the Mack truck.

And Ayn Rand also pointed out that existence (i.e., the sum total of everything that exists) precedes consciousness–our consciousnesses are a part of existence, not outside of it–therefore reality cannot be a “social construct” as so many of you fucked-up-in-the-head people seem to think.

So much for Leftist douchebag lurkers. For the rest of you, the regular readers and those lurkers who understand such things: I continue to carry the banner once also carried by Wheatie. His Fraudulency didn’t win.

Let’s Go, Brandon!!

Hey China!

Or rather, “Hey Chinese Communist Party and your entire array of servitors, ass-wipers, and fellators!”

[Language warning]

You and yours have caused a lot of injury. Literal injury with your war on people who don’t want to take an untested vaccine. When people die in an emergency room because a hospital won’t admit them because they haven’t had their clot shot, that’s a crime.

I’m going to address here the insult on top of the injury, because I am among the insulted. I still have my health but apparently you want me to live under the 8th Street Bridge (which actually isn’t on 8th Street, but whatever, that’s what the I-25 overpass over Cimarron is called), so maybe if you have your way that won’t be true for long. Dreadful time of year to become homeless.

No, you’re just trying to make me unemployed, because I won’t take your fucking shots.

Well, that threat is NOT going to work. I. Won’t. Take. Your. Fucking. Shots.

And it looks like enough people agree, that you’re having to back down, you worthless asswipe.

You’re LOSING.

You LOSER.

You Chinese-bought ratfucking traitor.

I would love to see you die an agonizing, humiliating death. (This isn’t a threat, because I am not threatening to cause that death. I am just announcing my intention to party if it happens.) It would be just recompense for the way you’re killing America…and millions of Americans.

His Fraudulency

Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, we haven’t heard much from the person who should have been declared the victor, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.

One can hope that all is not as it seems.

I’d love to feast on that crow.

(I’d like to add, I find it entirely plausible, even likely, that His Fraudulency is also His Figureheadedness. (Apparently that wasn’t a word; it got a red underline. Well it is now.) Where I differ with the hopium addicts is on the subject of who is really in charge. It ain’t anyone we like.)

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless 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 is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

More Stupid Orbit Tricks (Orbital Mechanics Part 3)

Well, this is a bit embarrassing. This is one subject that I actually have some formal background in, albeit from over thirty years ago, and I flubbed something in the first column.

[Math note: Take the velocity vector for the satellite. Normalize it, so its length is 1. Take the cross product of it and the z axis unit vector. Take the magnitude of that product. You now have the sine of the inclination angle. For those of you who didn’t understand that, be assured that it’s dead damn easy and you don’t have to watch the satellite in orbit to figure out its inclination, so long as your velocity measurement is accurate.]

Me being slightly stupid two weeks ago

You can certainly do this. It works as described. But it’s vastly better to take the dot product of the normalized vector with the z axis unit vector, and treat that as the cosine of the inclination angle. Why? Two reasons. First, the cosine could be anything from 1 down to -1, and those correspond to angles of 0-180 degrees, the exact range of angles an inclination can be. Second…to take that dot product, just grab the z component of the normalized velocity vector; no need to actually do the dot product, (vx, vy, vz) (0, 0, 1) is a no-brainer.

OK with that out of the way, we can pick up where we left off last week. I gave you the formula for the period of an elliptical orbit of a certain semi-major axis (a), and used the special case of a circular orbit where a is the radius of the circle, to figure out the radius of a geostationary orbit. Here’s the formula once again:

T=2\pi\sqrt{a^3\over{\mu}}

(Last week, the one I found had GM where this one has μ; they’re the same thing, the gravitational parameter of the object being orbited, which is the mass of that object multiplied by the gravitational constant.)

It’s really easy to get from here to the speed the object is traveling at in its orbit. The orbit will have a total length of 2πa. (The circumference is 2π times the radius.) Divide that length by the period. Both of the 2πs cancel, and you’re left with a / sqrt of a3/μ, but that’s just the square root of μ/a.

 v = \sqrt{ GM\! \over{r}} = \sqrt{\mu\over{r}}

Yes, this one has r instead of a. (This is what I get for copying and pasting formula graphics from Wikipoo; it’s not being consistent about using μ instead of GM, and the point I am about to make is obscured by using r instead of a.)

So does this mean that if you’re at a certain distance from the center of the object, a, and you’re traveling at speed v, you’re in a circular orbit?

Not necessarily. You’ll notice I said “speed” not “velocity.”

It is true that if you are at that distance, and traveling at that speed, your orbit will have a semi-major axis of a, but it won’t necessarily be a circular orbit; it could be an ellipse. The direction you are moving in at that distance matters. Draw a line from you to the center of the primary. That line defines “down” (even though you don’t feel weight while in orbit). Perpendicular to “down” you are moving “horizontally.” See the following very fancy (and stolen) diagram, where v is always in a horizontal direction:

If that is the direction you’re moving, and you are at the proper speed, you will be in a circular orbit. Otherwise, if you’re at the proper speed but not moving “horizontally” you are in an elliptical orbit whose semi major axis happens to match your distance from the primary. The more eccentric the orbit it, the farther away you will get from the primary at apoapsis…but the closer you will be at periapsis.

And this is where clean theory departs from actual practice. The theory pretends the entire mass of the primary is located at a point at one focus of the ellipse (or the center of the circular orbit). The fact of the matter is, the primary has a size, a radius, and if periapsis is less than that number, your time in orbit ends when you smack into the surface of the primary.

If you are in an elliptical orbit, then of course your speed at apoapsis is less than the speed we just computed, and your speed at periapsis is greater than that speed–unless it’s zero because you smacked into the surface of the primary. This formula is only good when your distance from the center of the primary is the same as the semi-major axis of your orbit. (Always true in a circular orbit, true at exactly two points of an elliptical orbit.)

Remember this diagram? It’s baaaaaack. The red orbit is circular. the red object’s speed never changes. The other orbits have the same semi-major axis, and as you’ll recall all of the objects orbit in the same amount of time. But here, the point is that when one of the objects (green, blue gold, and magent) crosses the red circular orbit, its distance is equal to its semi-major axis, and it is moving at the appropriate speed for a circular orbit (i.e., the same speed as the red object), just not in the right direction.

Surely there’s a better formula useful in other circumstances!

Stop calling me Shirley, and yes, there is. It’s called the vis viva equation:

v=\sqrt{\mu\left({2\over{r}}-{1\over{a}}\right)}

a is your semi major axis, and r is the distance from the center of the primary. Notice that you do not need to know the orbit’s eccentricity. More importantly, notice r and a don’t have to be the same.

(Also notice that if they are the same, things cancel and you get the circular orbit formula above. And notice also that if r is more than 2 times a, you get a negative sign under the radical. But that makes sense, it’s physically impossible no matter how eccentric an elliptical orbit gets, for you to be more than 2a away from the center of the primary, because the orbit itself is 2a in length, measured the long way.)

And now we have the background needed for today’s stupid orbit tricks.

Escape Velocity

If you set the semi-major axis a to infinity in the vis viva equation, you’re now thinking, basically, about an ellipse with apoapsis at infinity, which is to say, you’re not ever going to get to it, so you’re never coming back. Plugging that in to vis viva, the 1/a term becomes zero, and so escape velocity (at any given distance r from the primary) is:

{\displaystyle v\geq {\sqrt {\frac {2GM}{r}}}.}

(And now we’re back to GM.) You don’t have to be in orbit for this to work. So at the surface of the earth, 6,378 km from the center, escape velocity is roughly 11 km/s.

(And again, now reality crowds into theory. In reality there is more than just the earth and your spacecraft, there’s also the sun. You’ll get away from earth, but not from the sun…so you won’t travel infinitely far from the earth. To get away from the sun, you need 42 km/s (yes, even 150 million kilometers away from the sun). The earth’s orbital velocity of 26 km/s can help you with that, if you launch in the right direction; just add 16 km/s to get to 42 km/sec. This is how New Horizons was launched to–and past–Pluto.)

Note that the formula has a “greater than or equal to” sign; any velocity greater than this is also good for escaping, with some left over of course.

Changing Orbits

How do you change from one orbit to another?

If you’re in orbit you need some source of thrust, and the most common and obvious one is a rocket.

But here is the key thing…if you want to change from one orbit to another, you apply thrust where the two orbits–the one you’re in and the one you want to be in–cross each other. Because what you change with thrust is not position (not at the time you thrust, but of course later on your position will be different than it otherwise would be), but rather velocity. So the position before you thrust will be the same as your position after the thrust, but your velocity will differ.

Let’s go back to the eccentricity diagram.

Let’s say you’re in the red orbit and want to go into the green orbit. What you do is wait until you’re at one of the two points where the two orbits intersect–let’s pick the bottom one for this example, fire up your rocket, and change your velocity so that you’re now travelling on the green ellipse instead of the red circle.

But–and this is key–I said velocity not speed. The speed remains the same (remember, from above, that when those other orbits cross the red orbit, they’re at the same radius r and the orbits all have the same semi-major axis, a, so they have the same speed, just in different directions.

Velocity is defined both by speed and a direction of motion. In this case, you need to change the direction without changing the speed. This is a job for vectors! Just eyeballing it, at the bottom of the diagram where the red and green orbits intersect, you’ll want to point your rocket almost directly at the thing you’re orbiting, and thrust for a bit. That will result in your velocity shifting a bit downwards on the diagram, and you’ll be moving on the green ellipse instead of the red circle.

Remember what I said about being able to change velocity but not position, with thrust?

There was an egregious misunderstanding of this in a certain Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Deja Q (from the third season). A certain planet was facing disaster, because its moon, formerly in a nice tidy circular orbit, was starting to drop inwards. With every orbit, the periapsis was getting closer and closer to the planet; eventually it’d hit the planet.

The Enterprise was going to try to pull the moon back into its proper orbit with the tractor beam.

But the Hollywood effects people were utterly ignorant of what I was just telling you. If you want to move the moon from that elliptical orbit back into its circular orbit, what do you do? You go to where the two orbits touch, at 3 o’clock in the diagram…and give it a good shove there. (You will want to speed it up at that moment; same direction, but make it go faster.)

Instead they depicted the enterprise waiting until the moon was at periapsis (9 oclock on that elliptical orbit) then pushing from there. Luckily they didn’t succeed, otherwise that moon would have ended up in a different orbit than what they wanted, quite possibly a very eccentric ellipse that would collide with the planet…oops!

Now a real starship crew would know this (unless they slept through orbital mechanics at Starfleet Academy), but Hollywood writers and producers? Nope. And either their “technical consultant” didn’t know Jacques Schiff about orbital mechanics (which, let’s face it, is an arcane specialty for people on Earth, though if we ever migrate into space in a big way, people up there will have to know it), or the Hollywood weenies decided not to listen to him.

(And let’s leave aside the fact that there’s simply no reason for a moon to suddenly have a shrinking orbit like this, in the first place! The only way it could happen, in reality, is if someone applied a small thrust to it at 3 o’clock, every time it was there, to slow it down and get the other side of the orbit to drop. I can’t think of a natural process that would do that. Once, yes, but every single time it’s at the same spot in its orbit?)

So there you go, an orbit change…and even an application (and you get to laugh at Hollywood too).

Hohmann Transfers

But what if the two orbits don’t touch? The short and glib answer is, then you use a transfer orbit; pick one that touches both orbits.

Hohmann transfers get used a lot by NASA for interplanetery probes. The orbits of Earth and (say) Mars are in very nearly the same plane, so you just pick an ellipse that touches both orbits, sort of like the way that wayward moon’s new orbit was touching the old one at 3 o’clock.

But it gets used for satellites too.

Imagine we have a satellite in a very low, circular orbit, say, 222 km above the earth’s surface or 6600 km from the center of the earth. And we want to put it into a geostationary orbit, which is at 42,164 km from the center of the earth.

We need a transfer orbit.

Like this one:

Transfer orbit, 2, used to get from small, low orbit 1 to higher, larger orbit 3.

Our two circular orbits are connected by an elliptical orbit. (And yes my low special effects budget is in play here….the diagram is again stolen from Wikipedia, and it’s for the sun and two planets, clearly. Just imagine that’s Earth at the center instead of the sun.)

When you change an object from one orbit to another, its position doesn’t change, its speed does change. So what has to happen is the satellite, when it reaches 6 o’clock in orbit 1, has to change its speed to be appropriate for that elliptical orbit, at its closest distance, so now it’s in orbit 2. Then it will have to change speed again when it gets to 12 o’clock in orbit 2, to put itself in orbit 3. Needless to say, there’s a rocket attached to the satellite for doing this.

We know a for orbits 1 and 3, but we don’t know it for orbit 2. But look at it. The semi major axis of 2 is half of the long distance across the ellipse, and it should be pretty obvious that the long distance the sum of a for orbits 1 and 3. Because the top end of ellipse 2 is at the same distance as a for orbit 3, and the bottom end is at the same distance as a for orbit 1. Add them together to get the total distance, and divide by 2. A for the transfer orbit is 24,382 km.

Orbital velocity at 6600 km comes from  v = \sqrt{ GM\! \over{r}} = \sqrt{\mu\over{r}} . Using μ=3.986 x 105 we get v = 7.771 km/second.

Orbital velocity at 42,164 km comes from the same formula and is 3.075 km/sec.

So now we need to use vis viva twice, once for r=6600 km in an a=24,382 km orbit, and another for r=42,164km in a 24,382 km orbit (the same orbit, two different distances). At 6600km, to be in that orbit, the spacecraft must be moving at 10.22 km/second (not that much below escape velocity!) and at 42,164 km it will be moving at 1.600 km/sec (it’s 1.59968 but I am rounding everything to four significant figures).

So at the point where orbits 1 and 2 touch, the spacecraft is moving at 7.771 km/second and has to speed up to 10,22 km.sec, which is a change of 2.448 km/second.

And at the point where orbits 2 and 3 touch, the spacecraft will arrive moving at 1.600 km/sec but needs to speed up to 3.075 km/sec to go into the circular geostationary orbit, which is a change of 1.475 km/sec.

As I said this is done with a rocket attached to the spacecraft. This rocket must be able to change the velocity of the spacecraft 2.448+1.475 = 3.923 km/second.

With that, and the mass of the satellite and of the rocket with empty fuel tanks, and the characteristics of the rocket fuel, you can use the “rocket equation” to compute exactly how much fuel that booster needs to do the two “burns” it has to do, in order to move the satellite to geostationary earth orbit (GEO).

The rocket equation sounds like a good thing to talk about in a future Saturday daily, assuming anyone in my audience still has eyeballs that haven’t turned into glass.

But in the meantime, you at least have some notion of how to send the GOPe to its most appropriate next convention site.
