Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!!!
Swingingly!
Happily!
Laughingly!
Dedication
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:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- 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!

Bonus question – how many banks will remain intact at the close of business today?
Wolf Moon watch
On March 1, he posted this, Wandering Wolf, wherein he said this:
I think the last time he posted here was March 6, so it has now been two weeks. We miss you, Wolf! Hope all is going according to plan.
Me, too. I’ll probably worry regardless.
Although he was saying, “Honey-Do”, I was thinking (a) remodel; (b) add-on; or (c) relocate. All of these tend to become all-encompassing and — when they go through your “internet room”, can put you incommunicado for quite a while. You really don’t want to try and stand up a blogging office somewhere and tear it down that night so sheetrock can go up the next day.
Relocate, is my bet. Vacation or cruise possibile, but unlikely given the extended time.
Spanning months. Focused for week(s) at a time, over three or four months. Relocation.
Relocate sounds like a plausibility.
Sure miss him around here specially now when he has such good insights.
Yes
If it is a DIY move it takes a lot of time. So does settling in. (I have moved over 40 times. 🙄 That is why I am now firmly PLANTED in NC!)
First I thought painting rooms but ad on seems reasonable.
I remember when he issued that post. I was thinking, “Poor Wand’ring Wolf” and looking around for a suitable soprano….
You certainly found one! She was marvelous.
That, BTW, was Linda Ronstadt in the Pirates of Penzance movie.
I just discovered that. (I thouight she looked a little familiar.) I didn’t know she could sing in that style, and I had no idea that movie had been made. I recognized Kevin Kline in another scene. Will have to check that one out. I’ve seen amateur productions of Gilbert & Sullivan, but they have a long way to go to match that quality.
The thing about Gilbert & Sullivan is that it can be very well done on a shoestring by amateur groups. Frankly, I’ve seen many better versions of Pirates than the movie.
Amateur productions I’ve seen were done enthusiastically and in good fun, but were uneven in production values. And of course some actors were more polished than others.
This particular amateur production has Kevin Kline as the Pirate King, just like the movie.
My favorite G&S is Ruddigore.
The backstory is that a baronet of Ruddigore was known for persecuting witches. As one met her fate, she cursed his line to perform a crime each day or perish in agony.
In the current generation, Sir Ruthven (pronounced “Rivven”) Murgatroyd fled his home and faked his death to avoid becoming a Bad Baronet, leaving his younger brother Despard to inherit the title (and the curse) — which drove Despard’s intended into madness when he became unavailable. Ruthven has since returned to the village under the guise of Robin Oakapple.
This perfectly normal history of the English countryside comes completely unglued during the course of the opera, of course.
Here’s Ruthven explaining how he’ll confront the ancestral ghost, Roderick, who enforces the curse —
They do it in slo-mo first, so you can understand the words. Most productions just play the fast version as it is written.
My Jr high did fantastic productions…
Of course it helped a lot that the kids were the sons and daughters of the the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. 😋
And that I am semi tone deaf.
Were you ever part of a production?
One of the nifty features of G&S is that there are parts for people who are not exactly singers.
Audience. 😄
I was going to ask you if it was LR but wanted to read through the replies first. I’d heard that she was operatically trained… ❤
WOW!!! Magnificent!
Almost sounds like he knows something we don’t……..
Amen
God be with Wolf bless him and keep him safe 😉
Thanks TT, this comment was a Great Idea…If you, or somebody, remember this comment next Monday (a WM post sans WM?) & if Wolf hasn’t checked in by then, copying this same info w/ the 3 weeks notification will have more of us Really Perking up the ears in notice of the comings & goings of our Alpha Wolf…
I’m praying for Wolf, that God is guiding, directing, & protecting him & his wife & that they are both enjoying some much needed R & R. Blessings!
I’ll try to remember to post it again. And if next Monday there is another placeholder post with no changes, that will remind me for sure. 😊 Blessings for Wolf and for you as well.
That’s why I mentioned next Monday since it’s a WM post & if we haven’t had a Wolf sighting it Might help to remind us. My memory is so crappy now that’s why I didn’t volunteer because I might forget about it…blush emoji… God Bless YOU TT!
BREAKING: IS THIS ALL A SCAM? Now It Looks Like President Trump Will Not Be Arrested Tuesday
That was posted at 5 p.m. Sunday
Robert Spencer at PJMedia reports:
I hope it’s not Michael Cohen. He is out to get Trump.
Trump says it will be Michael Cohen’s lawyer. Not good.
What the hiccup can Cohen’s lawyer have that isn’t complete hearsay?
Great question.
It doesn’t matter, they will make up whatever they need to.
Cohen’s lawyer is not a good guy.
EXACTLY!!
Even if he has ‘papers’ that are supposedly from Cohen that came from Trump, THERE IS NO ACTUAL CHAIN OF CUSTODY
Who ever it is, there just ironing out the details ($) for his services.
Yeah, now that Credit Suisse has gone belly-up they have to figure out a different place to hide the pay-off.
Well Credit Suisse bullion is still good…
But then that just goes to show about assets you can drop on your foot.
Maybe have a long time ago or they have dreck on him.
Maybe exculpatory evidence in a form which contradicts Cohen. Assuming the essentiality of Cohen’s testimony, Cohen’s lawyer may possess documentary evidence, or knowledge of statements, which obliterate the premise of Cohen’s testimony.
Lets hope so.
I saw it as a set up when Cohen pleated guilty to the so called bribery scam he was trapped into it and his laywer was part of it. Maybe he got less jail time for pleating?
He was also Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. So we’ll see.
My speculation for the ‘new’ mystery witness is …
wait for it …
Stormy Daniels.
HUH????????
Bragg [is there a better example of a clown living up to his name?] is somehow going to get her to say that she had an affair with DJT and that when she decided to break it off, he attacked her and took her by force.
IOW, he raped her.
This is how D.A. Bragg has figured out to beat the statute of limitations.
I doubt it.
Then, again, it would not be the most bizarre thing to happen in 2023 if that’s the sratergry.
Well then, smart guy, what’s your theory?
😎
That is what nightmares are made off 😱
Stormy was supposed to pay Trump $300,000 she never paid maybe that is how she will get out of it.
I saw Michael Cohen on a podcast and he is crazy hateful and evil. He was so giddy and almost like a loony looking forward to Trump’s demise.
Trump did many good thinks for the guy and that is how he repays him disgusting.
No good deed goes unpunished.
So true I have found that out to many times and am still ad it 🙂 Trump is a good man.
I heard on Seculow that it was a past lawyer of Rudi;s Cardillo?
He will speak for the defense. I would think Trump knows or not?
I would guess that’s Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage, and I didn’t even watch Big Time wrastlin’ 😁
My wallet rarely makes it out alive.
LMAO
Gun Owners.
We saw Kevin McCarthy’s call for investigations, but he is characterizing a potential Trump arrest as election interference. Seems like a good call.
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/catherinesalgado/2023/03/18/mccarthy-says-trump-indictment-could-be-federal-election-interference-n1679549
People wonder why Trump hasn’t said or done certain things. Here’s why: His every word is parsed. I don’t know of any other politician in this country who has been so persecuted.
What a douche. Shadow head of the Mueller farce, and he dares show his face after that fiasco.
He’s a hero in the left’s/communist world. Hench why Pravda News marches him out right on q all the time.
It’s a Leftist dork on MSLSD, a channel devoted to Leftist dorks.
Trump is under no obligation to use Andrew Weissdork’s preferred wording.
There is nothing ‘problematic’ about anything Trump said, ‘legally’ or otherwise.
I suspect Weissman would love to trap Trump using the First Amendment:
Trump left out the word “peaceably,” so he must have been inciting an insurrection. 🙄 The Left is so desperate.
It doesn’t say that petitioning the govt for redress has to be peaceful.
So there’s that.
On the other hand, I can’t picture a violent act that could be considered a “petition for redress” Perhaps I just have too much blood in my caffeine stream.
Sadly anything Trump says is being twisted into their mindset.
“Sadly anything Trump says is being twisted into their mindset.”
___________
Sadly but expectedly.
And since that will always be the case, and will never not be the case, why should anyone care what the Left thinks or says — about anything?
I haven’t watched MSLSD in 20+ years. The lunatic Leftists who do watch MSLSD are irrelevant, I wouldn’t waste one second worrying about what they think or trying to change their warped minds.
True good points
This guy is evil personified. I do not understand what motivates them. These type of lawyers are a pariah in society. Thankfully there are many others who are good people.
More on the trumped up case against Trump – President Trump’s lawyer speaks out !
Except they BRAG about it!
Yes, and Beria was a “big man on campus” for Stalin and then for Khrushchev — until Khrushchev had no more use for him.
2011: Khrushchev and Molotov on Beria
Published by Victor VaughnAnti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist, National Secretary of the American Party of Labor
This has a bunch of quotes about Beria by Molotov mainly. It seems Beria may have had a hand in poisoning Stalin.
Take a look at Clinton’s loyalists where they are? That is where is began to get nasty. No got nasty killing President Kennedy his brother Rev King all leaders.
This is not America the dems turned the country into a into a dictatorship where persecution is the norm and rule of law means nothing. I still cannot wrap my mind around this fact. I am so glad my in-laws are no longer they would have been heartbroken. America was their paradise their freedom and prosperity. They were able to own a house summer house upstate NY and their son attended University.
They were democrats and they would not recognize the party.
My mother in law came to Ellis Island and had a sponsor in NY whom she had to repay. This all was worth to her to be in America.
It’s all out there now….

A musical interlude —
Stunning! I would love to sit across from this man with a fireplace in-between listening to him playing on an 18th C 12-string acoustical guitar, or yet a lute.
He is known to go through equipment relentlessly in search of his ideal tone, not just switching-out amps and guitars, and also effects, but even cables and batteries.
But when he hits it just right, his guitar can sing and wail, play like a violin or a koto….or just sound like a dream.
One of the best guitarists ever!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/oversight-chair-james-comer-very-odd-that-trump-indictment-announced-day-after-biden-bank-records-released-we-have-11-more-deals-to-release-video/ ((House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) joined Maria Bartiromo this morning on Sunday Morning Futures.))
Another clip w/Comer summing things up quickly.
Who and how can we do something to end this tyranny?
At one time, Britain’s government collapsed in the 60’s due to a major scandal.
The judiciary assisted.
We have none left. Now what?
R-FL Scott, on Maria’s show was asked the same question this morning. He responded with nothing.
I know what needs to be done yet how to organize? Especially when most of our government is either spineless or complicit.
My personal response would be a staged National Strike. Maybe two weeks more.
Stock up tomorrow.
No taxes, close your business. no trucks, trains, purchases, dining, TV, a truckers’ siege on all bridges in every city in the US…a general sick out.
Even if these asses do nothing on Tuesday, we should continue the plan.
No time like Tuesday! IMHO. Just trying to be helpful.
Doing just about anything at this point would cause morale to go through the roof, considering we’ve mostly just taken relentless enemy fire for 7 years now.
Imagine having zero victories in the first 7 years of WWII.
Not because we were losing battles, but because we didn’t even fight any — we just sat there and let the enemy bomb us back to the stone age 😂
“…My personal response would be a staged National Strike….”
as Aubergine and I said all of yesterday.
Protests only allow a Jan 6th REDUX. whether it is just vandalism by the FDA/ANTIFA or escalates to Maidan Snipers on the roofs killing protesters and cops alike. Do not forget AZOV was spotted at Jan 6th and they are KILLERS.
“…Sergei Dybynyn is affiliated with the neo-Nazi AZOV group…has an arrest warrant issued by the Lugansk People’s Republic, which is an ally of Russia…”
WOW … a color photo of two steaming turds … 😷🤚😖🤚🤬 … it’s a Kodak moment … 🤮😡
I certainly have my doubts about Jacob’s ‘innocence’
Do we even KNOW that he was jailed?
Do we really KNOW that he is going to serve a prison term?
AZ is certainly CORRUPT enough to allow him to spend time in Mexico instead of prison.
He could be hiding in plain sight in the US, and would not be recognized.
I don’t think Chansley is on the up-and-up.
It sure does seem convenient that they have a baked-in fake martyr for the “cause” . . .
Was the purpose of him dressing up like that to attract attention, cameras, away from something else.
The illusion that MAGA folks are lunatics.
Gail, just brainstorming.
Rather than a comprehensive strike at first, why not try out proof of concept strikes? Things which can be measured, and raise confidence?
For instance, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, nobody buys gasoline Or buys products from a woke company.
We can see roughly how many people are engaged.
Then gradually, raise the stakes as more people get the idea, and see how they can be effective by cooperating?
Planning – what a concept.
It’s refreshing to see something other than Democrat-lite emotional rally rants from the cheerleaders of our team.
The problem is, who calls for that? Me, Gail?
The result of that is what, a couple of thousand people get the word?
I am utterly convinced that only Trump can successfully do it. I’d like to be wrong.
Trump calls it.
Trump blasts it out on Truth, Rumble, TW, FB…
Bannon, Bongino, Badlands, and the like, BLAST IT OUT.
Yep.
I agree with you, but what do you think the Left would do if Trump started calling for things like that? I believe they would twist his words and accuse him of tanking the economy or who knows what. They don’t care about the law or the truth.
I wonder if some other nationally known figures on the Right could do this. Pundits like Bongino, Congresspeople like MTG, etc. A group announcement.
I think we are getting to the point where what the leftist “say” about anything is going to have to become an irrelevant irritant. Because they whine, bitch, and twist EVERYTHING anyone does that they don’t like. And they always will. “J’accuse” is all they understand.
Also, Trump is the only one I personally would follow down such a path. It is a risk I am willing to take, but only if I am certain enough other people are going to do it for it to make a difference. And I don’t believe enough will obey the request from anyone other than the man himself.
“I think we are getting to the point where what the leftist “say” about anything is going to have to become an irrelevant irritant.”
__________
Thank you!
What the Left says or thinks has been irrelevant to me since Clinton put on sunglasses, played a saxophone and talked about his underwear on national TV.
🙂
“I agree with you, but what do you think the Left would do if Trump started calling for things like that?”
___________
The Left will do what makes sense for them to do, which would be to attack Trump and make him and anyone who follows him out to be a terrorist or some similar BS.
So what? Who cares? The fear of what the enemy might do is paralyzing. The way to overcome that fear is to not give a #*&^.
There is nothing we could or would ever do, that isn’t going to cause the Left to use propaganda to make us look like the ‘bad guys’.
So it’s like asking in WWI, “What will the Germans do, if we come out of our trenches, and charge at them?”
They’re going to SHOOT at us. What else would they do?
Is that a good reason to stay in the trench until the world ends or we die of old age, whichever comes first?
“I believe they would twist his words and accuse him of tanking the economy or who knows what.”
__________
Well of course they would!
So what?
.
“They don’t care about the law or the truth.”
___________
Right, so who cares what they think, or what they would say — about anything?
WTH should we care what the enemy thinks about us, or what we believe, or what we do?
The louder they complain, the closer we are to the target.
.
“I wonder if some other nationally known figures on the Right could do this. Pundits like Bongino, Congresspeople like MTG, etc. A group announcement.”
____________
They could, but if they were going to, why wouldn’t they have already done it a long time ago?
Unless we’re back to the “the white hats have a secret master plan” scenario.
100% Do NOT Care What The Left Thinks Or Says.
I’m sorry this looks like a clumsy photoshop. Dybynyn’s face is huge.
I’m with you! But I’ll bet you knew that 😉
Some people are planning to wear red on Tuesday as well.
They go over the organizers as they did in Canada with the truckers. These are the same type of evil and lawless people.
A well-written piece regarding some of the Biden corruption dripping into Hallie Biden’s bank accounts —
https://victorygirlsblog.com/hallie-biden-revealed-to-have-gotten-chinese-cash/
Includes the paragraph (with links):
“The inclusion of Hallie Biden, who up to this point has been known to the public as Beau’s widow and Hunter’s dumbass ex-girlfriend who should have been arrested for throwing a gun in a garbage can after stealing it from Hunter, marks a huge turning point. Other than her relationship with Hunter and all the stupidity that followed – the two “dated” between 2016 and 2019, during which time Hunter did enough drugs to kill an elephant, got a woman pregnant and had to be dragged to be DNA tested and then provide child support, had an additional affair with Hallie’s sister Elizabeth, filmed sex tapes of himself, used an employee for his own sexual gratification, and eventually abandoned the infamous laptop. While Hallie Biden obviously should be considered as someone with suspect judgment, she had not yet been linked to the Biden family foreign money web. Obviously, she’s deep in it now.”
OK, a little fun with fish.
As previously noted, West African fish tend to be very similar to South American or Central American fish, NTTAWWT. East African fish, however, drop into the Rift — a place where the continents create a huge valley of accelerated evolution. Most of the Rift Lake cichlids are endemic — they only live there and nowhere else — and there is an amazing variety.
It should be noted that the greatest variety of hominid fossils have also been found in the Rift.
My favorite lake is Lake Tanganyika, the sixth largest and second deepest lake in the world, and one of the oldest. Sir Richard Francis Burton described it as “a vast inland sea” when he first saw it. There are more unique species of fish in Lake Tanganyika than in the entire Amazon River Basin…..or in the entire Atlantic Ocean, for that matter.
Then, again, Burton’s original description was “a vast inland sea, oddly devoid of fish.” The fish in Lake T are quite intelligent and evasive. Hundreds can live among rocks and can disappear in a second, reappearing only when they feel safe.
One of the more well-known genera native to Lake T is Tropheus. There are at least three species — moorii, brichardi, and duboisi [wikipoo currently lists six] — but they are very similar in form and habit. They graze on algae colonies on rocks, scooping up layers of different algae along with any associated small crustaceans or other critters. In tanks, their digestion will seize up and kill the fish if given too much protein all at once. They live in groups and are substrate-spawning mouthbrooders.
What really makes them fascinating, however, is that they have a wide variety of color varieties that depend on the exact collection site. One river inlet might have a bright red spot, while an island a mile offshore might have a yellow stripe. Just to make this more fun, a group (both in the lake and in your tank) might have leaders showing the desired colors, while followers might be washed-out and colorless. To put icing on the cake, an individual fish might show beautiful color on one end of a tank and turn drab while swimming to the other end — or vice-versa. Watching a tank of tropheus is an ever-changing view.
Here’s a fish video that shows off someone’s favorite tropheus color varieties. Look at the fish in the background and see if they are fading-in or fading-out of the featured color pattern.
I remember one presentation where there was a slide of a 16-foot crocodile sunning itself on a beach. The narrator said, “ever wonder why your tropheus ‘red rainbow’ are so expensive? The collection point is at this cove in less than six feet of water.”
Yikes!
Beautiful!! I love the juveniles with polka dots. Also, the fish that are kissing look cool.

The Eggheads Vs The Doers – Zerohedge
Now look at what RDS posted yesterday on March 19, 2023 18:48
On the other hand if the GOAL of the AMA is wiping out a large precentage of people, well the AMA is going about it correctly.
Gail Combs
Thank you. This information needs to be spread as far and wide as possible.
Perhaps, once the truth is known about what the AMA is doing, people may think about utilizing other types of practitioners — enlightened chiropractors, Naturopathic Doctors, and so forth, while keeping a GP or a specialist for stuff the others cannot take care of.
On the other hand, IMO, if the AMA succeeds in its policy to stamp out any dissention from “the medical establishment line”, plus the WHO getting its way with the “global pandemic treaty”, the door is kicked open for the global imposition of the Codex Alimentarius, another goal of the WHO / UN. In which case, even the foods we eat, and the vitamins and supplements we take, would be subject to their rules.
Totally agree and I have three top school trained medical doctors in my family (one retired).
E.M.Smith says:
That’s a very good video. A word about his sponsor, the “home title theft/fraud” company, which I think charges 19.95/month to monitor your home’s title and protect you from having it stolen. I did a little research and found this:
More…https://www.thepublicopinion.com/story/opinion/columns/2021/08/30/home-title-thieves-cannot-steal-your-house-rick-kahler-reports/5648246001/
Thanks for making that info known.
For some of us our home is are entire wealth.
Odd as hell to me. I’ve heard on Bannon, a sponsor / ad, pushing this BS, “home title theft/fraud” insurance.
IIRC, Bannon read the damn ad, giving the BS credibility. Hugely disappointing to me. <<< Bannon read it.
He may have zero idea of whether it is true. Remember there is a lot of cyber theft (Like elections) so the right is going to be very sensitive to cyber theft.
I believed the Schiff until now.
That looks like Roger Stone.
I really don’t care to know how they are hung. Their “junk” doesn’t interest me.
“hanged” on the other hand I’d want to watch.
I knew you’d catch that 😎
Making the rounds…

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

First I’ve read of military pilots, ground crews and cancer.
Until now, did not know below was real or folklore. Trending real. Soon, bank on it.
Years ago, heard or read, thyroid cancer in the military, including dependents IS Higher than general population.
Links above opened. Will read in in awhile. When I can dedicate time to them.
Seems interesting that while they took what appears to be wide study, (900,000) the study was still confined to a narrow group.
Cancers have a long reporting history. For this to come up now, with such a broad array of cancers seems telling.
I’m sure if we open the study, we’ll find befuddlement as to the cause and no link back to vax.
This story seems to have the best write up I’ve seen so far.

In the War Between Judaism and Democracy in Israel, Anything Is Possible
Alastair Crooke
March 19, 2023
Michael Omer-Man writes: Almost exactly 10 years ago, a young star rising in the Likud party, spoke to an audience committed to the outright annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories, laying out his blueprint. A year later, this same speaker set out certain prerequisites to full annexation: Firstly, a shift in the way the Israeli public thinks about a ‘two-state solution’ for Palestine; and secondly, a radical recast of the legal system “that will allow us to take those steps on the ground … that advance sovereignty”.
What was reflected in this statement is the structural dichotomy inherent within the ‘idea’ of ‘Israel’: What then is ‘Israel’? One side holds that Israel was founded as a ‘balance’ between Jewishness and Democracy. The other says ‘nonsense’; it was always the establishment of Israel on the “Land of Israel”.
Ami Pedahzur, a political scientist studying the Israeli Right, explains that the religious Right “has always considered the Israeli Supreme Court to be an abomination”. He points out that the extremist Meir Kahane “once wrote extensively about the tension between Judaism and democracy and the need for a Sanhedrin [a biblical system of judges] instead of the extant Israeli judicial system”.
In Israel’s attempt to balance these opposing visions and interpretations of history, the Israeli Right sees the judiciary as deliberately having been tilted toward democracy (by one part of the Israeli élite). This simmering tension finally exploded with the 1995 Supreme Court claim that it possessed power of judicial review over Knesset (parliamentary) legislation deemed to be in conflict with Israel’s quasi-constitutional Basic Laws. (An Israeli constitution has been considered since 1949, but never actuated.)
Well, that ‘young star’ of 10 years ago – who asserted so forcefully “We cannot accept … a judicial system that is controlled by a radical leftist, post-Zionist minority that elects itself behind closed doors – dictating to us its own values – today is Israel’s Justice Minister, Yariv Levin.
And with time, Netanyahu has indeed already brought about that first prerequisite (outlined by Levin almost a decade ago): The Israeli public perspective on the two-state Olso formula is radically changed. Political support for that project hovers close to zero in the political sphere.
More than that, today’s Prime Minister, Netanyahu, explicitly shares the same ideology as Levin and his colleagues – namely that Jews have a right to settle in any, and all, parts of the ‘Land of Israel’; he also believes that the very survival of the Jewish people is dependent on the actuation of that divine obligation into practice.
Many on the Israeli Right, Omer-Man suggests, therefore see the Supreme Court as “the central impediment to their ability to fulfil their annexationist dreams, which for them are a combination of messianic and ideological commandments”.
They saw the 1995 Supreme Court ruling as ‘a coup’ that ushered in the judiciary’s supremacy over law and politics. This is a view that is hotly contested – to the point of near civil war – by those who advocate for democracy versus a strict Judaic vision of religious law.
From the perspective of the Right, Ariel Kahana notes that although
“they have continued to win time and again – but they have never held power in the true sense of the word. Through the judiciary, the bureaucracy, the defence establishment, academia, cultural elites, the media, and some of the economic wheelers and dealers, the Left’s doctrine continued to dominate Israel’s power foci. In fact, regardless of who the cabinet ministers were, the old guard has continued with its obstructionist insurgency”.
Today, however, the numbers are with the Right – and we are witnessing the Israeli Right’s counter-coup: a judicial ‘reform’ which would centralize power in the Knesset – precisely by dismantling the legal system’s current checks and balances.
Ostensibly this schism constitutes the crisis bringing hundreds of thousand Israelis on to the street. Prima Facie, in much of the media, at issue is who has the final word: the Knesset or the Supreme Court.
Or, is it? For, beneath the surface, unacknowledged and mostly unsaid, is something deeper: It is the conflict between Realpolitik versus Completion of the Zionist project. Put starkly, the Right says it’s clear: Without Judaism we have no identity; and no reason to be in this land.
The ‘less said’ fact is that much of the electorate actually agrees with the Right in principle, yet opposes the full annexation of the West Bank on pragmatic grounds: “They believe that the status quo of a “temporary” 55-plus-year military occupation is the more strategically prudent”.
“Formally [annexing West Bank] would make it too difficult to convince the world that Israel is not an apartheid regime in which half of the population — Palestinians — are denied basic democratic, civil, and human rights”.
That other unresolved contradiction (that of continuing occupation within ‘democracy’) is also submerged by the prevalent mantra of ‘Right wing Orbánism versus democracy’. Ahmad Tibi, an Palestinian member of the Knesset earlier has wryly noted: “Israel indeed is ‘Jewish and democratic’: It is democratic toward Jews – and Jewish toward Arabs”.
The mass of protestors gathered in Tel Aviv carefully choose to avoid this oxymoron (other than around the kitchen table) – as a Haaretz editorial a few days ago made clear: “Israel’s opposition is for Jews only”.
Thus, the crisis that some are warning could lead to civil war at its crux is that between one group – which is no longer content to wait for the right conditions to arrive to fulfil the Zionist dream of Jewish sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel – versus an outraged opposition that prefers sticking to the political tradition of buying time by “deciding not to decide”, Omer-Man underlines.
And although there are ‘moderates’ amongst the Likud lawmakers, their concerns are eclipsed by the exultant mood at their party’s base:
“Senior Likud officials, led by Netanyahu, have incited Likud voters against the legal system for years, and now the tiger is out of control. It has its trainer in its jaws and threatens to crush him if he makes concessions”.
The flames lick around Netanyahu’s feet. The U.S. wants quiet; It does not want a war with Iran. It does not want a new Palestinian Intifada – and will hold Netanyahu’s feet to the flames until he ‘controls’ his coalition allies and returns to an Hebraic ‘quietism’.
But he can’t. It’s not possible. Netanyahu is held limp in the tiger’s jaws. Events are out of his control.
con’t below
con’t from above:
A prominent member of Likud’s central committee told Haaretz this week:
“I don’t care if I have nothing to eat, if the army falls apart, if everything here is destroyed … The main thing is that they not humiliate us once again, and appoint Ashkenazi judges over us”.
The ‘second Israel’ genres have wailed against ‘the ten Ashkenazai judges’ who discredited their leader (Arye Dery), whilst breaking into a song of praise for the ‘only Sephardic judge’ who was sympathetic to Dery. Yes, the ethnic and tribal schisms form a further part of this crisis. (A bill that effectively would reverse the Supreme Court decision barring Dery from his ministerial position over previous corruption charges is currently making its way through the Knesset).
The appeal of Religious Zionism is often attributed to its growing strength amongst the young – particularly ultra-Orthodox men and traditional Mizrahi voters. What became abundantly clear and unexpected in recent weeks, however, is that the appeal of a racist such as Ben-Gvir, is spreading to the young secular left in Israel. Among young Israelis (ages 18 – 24), more than 70% identify today as Right.
Just to be clear: The Mizrahi ‘underclass’, together with the Settler Right, have ousted the ‘old’ Ashkenazi élite from their hold on power. They have waited many years for this moment; their numbers are there. Power has been rotated. The fuse to today’s particular crisis was lit long ago, not by Netanyahu, but by Ariel Sharon in 2001, with his entry to the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif).
Sharon had earlier perceived that a moment would arrive – with a weakened U.S. – when it might prove propitious for Israel to complete the Zionist project and seize all the ‘Land of Israel’. The plans for this venture have been incubating over two decades. Sharon lit the fuse – and Netanyahu duly took on the task of curating a constituency towards despising Oslo and the judicial system.
The project’s content is explicitly acknowledged: To annex the West Bank and to transfer any political rights of Palestinians remaining there to a new national state to the east of the River Jordan, on the site of what now is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In the confusion and violence which would accompany such a move, Palestinians would be ‘persuaded’ to migrate to the ‘other bank’. As Hussein Ibish warned two weeks ago:
“We’re getting awfully close to the point where the Israeli government, and even Israeli society, could countenance a big annexation – and even expulsion [of Palestinians] – done in the middle of an outbreak of violence, and it would be framed as a painful necessity,” Ibish said. Such a move, he added, would be justified “as the government saying ‘We’ve got to protect Israeli settlers – they are citizens too – and we can’t let this go on anymore. Therefore we have to annex and even expel Palestinians.’”
To be fair, the unspoken fear of many secular protesters in Israel today, is not just that of being politically deposed, and their secular lifestyle circumscribed by religious zealots (though that is a major driver to sentiment), but rather, by the unspoken fear that to implement such a radical project against the Palestinians would lead to Regional war.
And ‘that’ is far from an unreasonable fear.
So there are two existential fears: One, that survival of the Jewish people is contingent on fulfilling the obligation to establish ‘Israel’ as ordained; and two, that to implement the consequent exodus of the Palestinians would likely result in the demise of the Israeli State (through war).
Suddenly and unexpectedly, into this fraught situation – with Netanyahu buffeted by a whirlwind of external and internal pressures – arrived a bombshell: Netanyahu was stripped of his ace card – Iran. In Beijing, China had secretly orchestrated not just the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, but laid down the framework for a regional security architecture.
This represents a nightmare for Washington and Netanyahu – particularly for the latter, however.
Since the early 1990s, Iran has served both these parties as the ‘bogey man’, by which to divert attention from Israel and the situation of the Palestinians. It has worked well, with the Europeans acting as enthusiastic collaborators in facilitating (or ‘mitigating’ – as they would see it), Israel’s ‘temporary’, 55-year occupation of the West Bank. The EU even financed it.
But now, that is blown away. Netanyahu may ‘huff and puff’ about Iran, but absent a Saudi and Gulf willingness to lend Arab legitimacy to any military action against Iran (with all the risks that entails), Netanyahu’ s ability to distract from the domestic crisis is severely limited. Any call to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities is an obvious non-starter in the light of the Iranian-Saudi rapprochement.
Netanyahu may not want a show-down with Team Biden, but that’s what is coming. Bibi is by nature cautious – even timid. His radical Ministers, however, are not.
They need a crisis (but only when the ‘prerequisites’ are all lined up). It is clear that the wholesale stripping of Palestinian rights, in tandem with the emasculation of the Supreme Court, is not a project that can be expected to quietly proceed in normal circumstances – especially in the present emotive state across the global sphere.
No doubt, the Israeli Right has been watching how the Lockdown ‘Emergency-crisis fear’ in Europe was used to mobilise a people to accept a compulsion and restrictions to life that in any other circumstance they would never rationally accept.
It won’t be a new pandemic emergency, of course, in the Israeli case. But the new Palestinian Authority-led ‘SWAT-squads’ arresting Palestinian resistance fighters in broad daylight is bringing the West Bank ‘pressure-cooker’ close to blow-out.
Ben Gvir may simply decide to follow in Sharon’s footsteps – to allow and participate in the Passover ceremony of sacrificing a lamb on Al-Aqsa (the Temple Mount) – as a symbol of the commitment to rebuild the ‘Third Temple’, permission for which, hitherto has always been denied.
So what happens next? It is impossible to predict. Will the Israeli military intervene? Will the U.S. intervene? Will one side back-down (unlikely says ex-Head of Israel’s National Security Council, Giora Eiland)? Yet even if the ‘Judicial reform’ is somehow halted, as one exasperated Israeli forecast, “Even if this time the attempt does not succeed, it’s likely that they [the Right] will try again in another two years, another five years, another 10 years. The struggle will be long and difficult, and no one can guarantee what the result will be.”

“Moscow opens criminal case over Putin warrant”
“The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor and judges who issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin have become the targets of a criminal case, Russia’s Investigative Committee announced on Monday.
In a Telegram post, the committee said that it had opened cases against ICC prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan, as well as judges Tomoko Akane, Rosario Salvatore Aitala and Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez….
…..The committee considers Khan’s actions a crime under Russian law for “knowingly bringing an innocent person to criminal liability, combined with unlawfully accusing a person of committing a grave or especially grave crime.” He is also charged with preparing an attack on a representative of a foreign state “with the intention of complicating international relations.”

No surprise eh.
What I was thinking, even if the RF friendly countries have no official extradition treaty, they may look favorably on any Russian request if the ICC rogues landed on their soil. That would crimp their style a bit.
I like the way you think!
They must have thought that Russia would just roll over and accept Putin’s fate.
Vlad enjoys a 75% approval rating, according to multiple Russian polls. He is in zero danger of being deposed, in zero danger of suddenly being viewed as a criminal, and in zero danger of losing his popularity.
These people at the ICC need to study some history of Russia, if they’re going to take on the bear.
Amen …

Lame Cherry says an asteroid is coming our way March 25 that TPTB are not telling us about. I don’t know how true this is, but it deserves a warning.
.
https://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2023/03/asteroid-kill.html
What is DJT’s schedule for that day? He’s the only asteroid that I know about.
NASA quietly disclosed that a giant city-killer asteroid could directly impact Earth on March 25 at over 18,000 mph
I wonder what that does to the chances of tossing the earth into glaciation?
Younger Dryas impact event
“Average weight Savanna Elephant (Loxodonta africana)Average weight of Male Savanna ElephantA male Savanna elephant weighs on average 6 tons”
So 144 tons altogether or approx 1/70th the one in russia 2013
A mere pebble.
According to Wikipoo the asteroid will miss by about 100,000 miles.
Will miss by approximately 0.001 au’s, sounds a lot more scary.
The news media freaks out when any asteroid comes within a million miles. And I mean the YSM, not the charlatan site that got posted here.
A million miles is four times the distance to the moon, 120 times the diameter of the earth, and we’ll be hearing about “near misses” and the like. It’s also barely 0.01 AUs.
[For anyone else reading this, an AU is the average distance from the earth to the sun (93 million miles, 150 million kilometers) and is commonly used as a yardstick for distances within the solar system for historical reasons. Basically there was a time we didn’t know *any* absolute distances other than Earth-to-Moon, but we knew, say, that Jupiter’s orbit was 5.2 times the size of ours, so we could just say that Jupiter orbited at 5.2 AUs and leave it until later to determine how much an AU was. “Later” turned out to be the 1750s when we were able to triangulate Venus against the sun during a rare Venus transit (we had them in 2008 and 2012, next up is after 2100). Anyhow the use of the AU “stuck” largely because the nice, tidy one or two digit numbers were more convenient than slinging hundreds of millions of miles. Astronomers may deal with (literally) astronomical numbers but that doesn’t mean they won’t take a valid shortcut now and then.]
…..and, just as everybody relaxes, it takes out the JWST…..
I have a wedding to go to that day.
Because the climate harm such a meteor would cause, I believe that the UN will join with Western governments forbidding the meteor to strike the earth. I don’t know the meteor personally but I think that will be reason enough to turn aside. I am sure that Greta will be on the telly saying, “How dare you.”
I am sure the elites are hoping the meteor doesn’t notice New Zealand.
It’s barely going to notice the earth.
100,000 mile miss.
If it was ever a danger to earth there would have been 24 hour coverage of NASA plotting the trajectory of the thing. It would be worse than election season. The media can truly say “never let a crisis go to waste”. I seem to recall that the media axiom was “if it bleeds it leads”.
When something like this is first observed they have one or two data points, and these have to be plugged into an algorithm to estimate what the thing’s orbit is. Lots of number crunching, but similar in concept to tracking aircraft and boats. As more observations are made the “track” becomes better and better (i.e., more accurate).
In this case it’s a very recent discovery, and as they were making more and more observations, at first the expected probability of a hit kept increasing…to a maximum of one in about 700. But then further observations refined the orbital elements to the point where it became extremely unlikely to hit.

ANOTHER RED ALERT: PFIZER-BIONTECH AND THE CDC WITHHELD HARD EVIDENCE IN 2022 THAT THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” DO CAUSE MYOCARDITIS —
http://www.burningplatform.com/2023/03/20/pfizer-cdc-withheld-evidence-of-myocarditis-after-covid-shots-new-documents-reveal/
by Michael Nevradakis, PhD
Yours Truly: Children’s Health Defense and Project Veritas just released documents from Pfizer-bioNTech that prove the company’s COVID-19 “vaccine” (BNT162b2 / COMIRNATY) do cause myocarditis in people who take this “vaccine.” The “Confidential” Pfizer-BioNTech report, updated February 2022, is linked in The Burning Platform article and also below.
IMO, it is important for people to read the entire report (about 40 pages including the References section.) And not only for the myocarditis discussion.
Example: On page 8, the list of ingredients in BNT162b2:
The main ingredient, the Wuhan Hu1 COVID-19 spike protein + its mRNA that were “enhanced” by Pfizer-BioNTech in the development of BNT162b2, is described as: “BNT162b2 mRNA drug substance.”
The four LNPs (lipid nanoparticles) used in BNT162b2 to “expedite” the movement of BNT162b2 throughout the body of the “vaccine” recipient: TWO of the four LNPs were specifically developed for use in the “vaccine.” They are listed as: ALC-0315 and ALC-0159. From what Yours Truly has read, at least of these two was developed by Pfizer-BioNTech. ALC-0315 has the highest concentration.
On Page 11, there is a more exact description of the spike protein + its mRNA in BNT162b2, including a graphic. And here the truth is told about the mechanism of this “vaccine” —
From Page 11:
“The BNT162b2 nucleoside-modified mRNA consists of a single-stranded, 5′-capped mRNA, with 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions and a poly-adenosine tail, that is translated upon entering the cell.” (bolding mine)
“BNT162b2 also includes the incorporation of modified nucleosides…with blunted immune sensor capacity…and thus augmented expression.” (bolding mine)
“These structural elements…are optimized for prolong and strong translation of the antigen-encoding RNA component.” (bolding mine)
Yours Truly: The CDC (ROCHELLE WALENSKY) was given this information by Pfizer-BioNTech LAST YEAR. And yet, the CDC has signed off on recommending that BNT162b2 be given to ALL PERSONS AGES 6 MONTHS AND UPWARD.
Myocarditis is HEART MUSCLE DAMAGE. The heart muscle DOES NOT, except in very rare instances, regenerate damaged or dead tissue of itself. Even if the person who contracts myocarditis does well with treatment and/or medication, THE DAMAGE IS DONE and it is most often replaced with SCAR TISSUE. there is research being performed regarding new technology to try and encourage the heart to regenerate damaged cardiac tissue.
First, a correction due to a typo, sorry:
Should read: “…prolonged and strong translation…”
Second, Let the following sink in from the bolded text.
It appears that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, was specifically formulated:
to BLUNT the human immune system sensing capacity;
to HAVE ENHANCED EXPRESSION of the spike protein + its mRNA into human cells;
to HAVE PROLONGED AND STRONG expression of the spike protein + its mRNA into human cells.

Excellent article. People in the comments are appalled by this.
Francis seems to be a leftist tool – he’s affirmed all of the left’s agenda from anti-capitalism to global warming to vaccine mandates.
SPIT – !
He was installed. Don’t ever doubt it. Jesuits are really not supposed to be pope. It’s in the by-laws of the order.

Head of UBS: “‘Please remember that, until this deal closes, Credit Suisse is still our competitor and we cannot discuss business matters with their employees or take any action that could be interpreted as a step toward the merging of business,’ Hamers wrote in a memo to UBS’s 74,000 staff.”
The deal hasn’t closed. And because Credit Suisse didn’t suspend trading in its stock today, the deal is off. What Credit Suisse got out of it was a $16 bn debt write-off under emergency powers and a few more days of life to demand a bailout. Plus it sunk a Swiss army knife right into the back of its biggest competitor, UBS, whose stock is crashing.”
Sharks eating Sharks…
It does have a certain sad beauty to it.

Seems Credit Suisse was the ‘Go To’ Bank for international criminals. They got indicted and convicted for it and now UBS is holding the Bag of SCHIFF…. Think Twatter and Elon Musk.. More crimes coming to light down the road??

What was Bernhard’s first quote in his article posted above?
Warren Buffet:
So then what do you do?
85 per cent of respondents polled on Donald Trump’s own Truth Social website think protesting against his arrest would be risking a January 6-style set-up, despite Trump himself telling them to go out and demonstrate
However, many prominent Trump supporters, including those who vehemently backed him during the 2016 campaign, believe any protests will crushed authorities in New York City and could represent another J6-style trap.
“Unlike J6’ers, Trump can afford lawyers. (Tho he has a history of stiffing people on legal bills.) There is 0 to do other than allow him to defend himself in court. Unless y’all really want to become stars in a sequel to January 6th. I can’t believe this isn’t obvious,” tweeted Mike Cernovich.

Yep… J6 definitely reached more than one of its objectives … FEAR!
One doesn’t have to go to NYC to PROTEST … do you really think LE across America are going to arrest Americans protesting? Then forget Trump Rallies … nobody will go, right…
Not every street in USA is a hellhole like NYC …
Forget the guns … just TALK… Americans won’t do a damn thing … too comfortable, too scared… sitting in the pot of hot water, just like the frogs Cue Anons always show …
Fear is the biggest demotivator ist it? No cops will arrest people thats true.
FEAR is what created the ‘PANDEMIC’ …. allowed the lockdowns and all the evil entwined… unfortunately it continues…
FEAR is why the NeoCons have control of the Oval Office … and why they are destroying our Republic to be destroyed … all in the name of hegemony… all in the name of global control.
We need to make THEM fear.
And that is why showing at their OFFICES works a lot better than at the state capitol (DemonRat Schiff hole…)
I would say that MAGA people have learned the lesson of NOT allowing the FIB to trap them.
That is wisdom not cowardliness.
Instead I think MAGA people will get creative.
PROTESTING is what Commies TEACH kids to do in school. IMHO it is COMPLETELY USELESS as the Tea Party proved. It does not do a damn thing if the Fake News refuses to cover it OR if there are Agents committing violence for the fake news to photograph.
Letters, phone calls… Showing up at your Senator/Congress critter’s regional offices to voice your concerns. THAT makes a heck of a lot more sense.
Addendum:
Contact your local state Tea Party to organize the protests at the offices.

Tyrants control people with fear. All dictators have done that all during Stalin, Mao Hitler regimes. More and more I understand why people went along with crazy dictators. I am beginning to see it even in this country. We have to much to loose but we have no idea how bad it is going to get. Brace yourself this is only the beginning.
Watch for whom they come first and in the end will be no one left to defend us.
Prayer vigils is the key.
OOOOOoooooh!
Trump is really really SNEAKY!!!
He has just PROVEN that MAGA People have a mind of their own AND DO NOT DO THINGS JUST BECAUSE HE TELLS THEM!!
Trump boomerang strikes again.
Kari Lake is shouting his mesage … PROTEST
Is she a sheep? 😉
I disagree that Trump is playing 11 dimensional chess here…
He has told us the Republic is gone … I hear him telling America… the USA … to fight for our Country … not to fight for him …
