Dear KMAG: 20230320 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to board Marine One with first lady Melania Trump en route to his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida following the release of the Mueller report at the White House in Washington, U.S., April 18, 2019. REUTERS/Carlos Barria – RC1F20A769B0

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!

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.

1.

From Dear MAGA: 20190222 Open Topic

2.

From Dear MAGA: 20190223 Open Topic

3.

From Dear MAGA: 20190427 Open Topic

Ah, yes! I remember those days!


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?

TheseTruths

Wolf Moon watch

On March 1, he posted this, Wandering Wolf, wherein he said this:

For the next four months, I will be checking in here FOR SURE every week or two – at most THREE WEEKS – and I will try to check in more often if I can. However, it is better for various reasons if I don’t check in under some circumstances. Thus, if I’m away for a while, and not checking in, it’s a good thing. It means things are going as expected. If I’m gone for a month, you are officially allowed to worry. Three weeks will be unlikely. The Nervous Nellies can start worrying at 3 weeks.

This is going to go on for March, April, May and June. Possibly July, but probably not. You’re just not going to see much of me for much of the time.

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.

cthulhu

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.

kalbokalbs

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.

singingsoul1

Relocate sounds like a plausibility.
Sure miss him around here specially now when he has such good insights.

Gail Combs

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!)

singingsoul1

First I thought painting rooms but ad on seems reasonable.

cthulhu

I remember when he issued that post. I was thinking, “Poor Wand’ring Wolf” and looking around for a suitable soprano….

TheseTruths

looking around for a suitable soprano….

You certainly found one! She was marvelous.

cthulhu

That, BTW, was Linda Ronstadt in the Pirates of Penzance movie.

TheseTruths

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.

cthulhu

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.

Last edited 1 year ago by cthulhu
TheseTruths

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.

cthulhu

This particular amateur production has Kevin Kline as the Pirate King, just like the movie.

cthulhu

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 —

cthulhu

They do it in slo-mo first, so you can understand the words. Most productions just play the fast version as it is written.

Gail Combs

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.

cthulhu

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.

Gail Combs

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!

TheseTruths

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.

Valerie Curren

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:

But now it turns out that the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has Trump in its sights, just may be stepping back from the brink: Business Insider reported Saturday night that Trump’s indictment is “on hold” until one more witness testifies Monday afternoon.

That’s about all that has come to light, as the relevant authorities are being quite closemouthed about this whole thing. Insider says that “a source with knowledge of the investigation” told them on Saturday night “there is one more witness.” The indictment is apparently not a certainty until this witness testifies.

But who is this witness? The Insider’s source wouldn’t say, and so all that we’re told is that “a separate source, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, told Insider that the witness is not Allen Weisselberg, Trump’s former CFO, who is serving a five-month sentence for admittedly masterminding a payroll tax-dodge scheme at the Trump Organization.”

I hope it’s not Michael Cohen. He is out to get Trump.

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.

singingsoul1

Maybe have a long time ago or they have dreck on him.

Tonawanda

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.

singingsoul1

Lets hope so.

singingsoul1

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?

Aubergine

He was also Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. So we’ll see.

pgroup2

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.

cthulhu

I doubt it.

Then, again, it would not be the most bizarre thing to happen in 2023 if that’s the sratergry.

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.

So true I have found that out to many times and am still ad it 🙂 Trump is a good man.

We saw Kevin McCarthy’s call for investigations, but he is characterizing a potential Trump arrest as election interference. Seems like a good call.

 “I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”

What a douche. Shadow head of the Mueller farce, and he dares show his face after that fiasco.

Brave and Free

He’s a hero in the left’s/communist world. Hench why Pravda News marches him out right on q all the time.

scott467

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.

TheseTruths

I suspect Weissman would love to trap Trump using the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law establishing articles of faith, or a mode of worship, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition to the government for a redress of grievances.

Trump left out the word “peaceably,” so he must have been inciting an insurrection. 🙄 The Left is so desperate.

Last edited 1 year ago by TheseTruths
pgroup2

It doesn’t say that petitioning the govt for redress has to be peaceful.

So there’s that.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

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.

singingsoul1

Sadly anything Trump says is being twisted into their mindset.

scott467

“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.

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.

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.

James Comer (R-KY) joined Maria Bartiromo this morning on Sunday Morning Futures.))

Rep. James Comer: Well, it’s very odd that this would come out just the very next day after I revealed bank records which showed that the Biden family, the President in particular, hasn’t been truthful with respect to his family receiving payments directly from the Chinese Communist Party. So it almost looks like it’s an effort to detract, but at the very least, it’s another example of a two-tier system of justice. Look, we’ve been looking into these classified documents. We saw the FBI rated Mar-a-Largo for one set of supposedly mishandled classified documents, but yet Joe Biden had at least five different locations of mishandled classified documents, and they give him days and days to go in and clean up with his attorney. So this looks to me like it’s another example of a two-tier system of justice at the DOJ.

Comer announces more evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

Rep. James Comer: There are many more. Maria, this is one deal. We think there are as many as eleven more deals. Now, we don’t know what those deals were for… In the beginning, the White House denied having any knowledge, or the fact that their family was involved in any sort of way, shape, or form with the CCP. But now we have bank records that reveal otherwise. We don’t know what the Bidens did in return for this money. The lawyer said that it was “seed capital for a business.” We haven’t been able to find a business, Maria.

What an interview!

It all makes sense now. Joe Biden is caught red-handed making illicit and illegal deals with the Communist Chinese – so the Democrats announced the arrest of Donald Trump to change the subject. And their accomplices in the fake news media are more than happy to carry their water.

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 😂

Gail Combs

“…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…”

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.

Was the purpose of him dressing up like that to attract attention, cameras, away from something else.

kalbokalbs

The illusion that MAGA folks are lunatics.

Tonawanda

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?

pgroup2

Planning – what a concept.

It’s refreshing to see something other than Democrat-lite emotional rally rants from the cheerleaders of our team.

Aubergine

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.

kalbokalbs

Trump calls it.

Trump blasts it out on Truth, Rumble, TW, FB…

Bannon, Bongino, Badlands, and the like, BLAST IT OUT.

  • Trump could “call in” to those shows.
Aubergine

Yep.

TheseTruths

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.

Aubergine

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 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?

scott467

“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?

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.

cthulhu

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.”

The Eggheads Vs The Doers – Zerohedge

I recently spoke at one of my favorite venues, the Liberty Forum in New Hampshire, which is an annual conference center on the Free State Project.

It’s designed to encourage people to pick up and move to the freest state in the country for community and to help protect the state from the fate that befell Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island….

But coming to this event in New Hampshire I found something else entirely; a group of people who were busy doing things in practice to live freer lives.

They were small business people, real-estate agents, people with alternative currency systems, people raising and selling food on and from their own farms, organizers of houses of worship and community centers, homeschoolers and school entrepreneurs, and much more besides, including office holders focusing on laws and legislation….

At this event were and are the practitioners. There is not one path forward but many, each person creatively implementing their own version of the freedom ideal. I recall being puzzled a bit by this approach but later inspired.

I felt like a pianist who had only known scales who finds himself listening to a concerto by Liszt. I came to realize the difference between theory and practice, between the academic class and the people in clinical practice.

Theory should never be put down but we make a mistake in thinking that this is the whole of the task. Theory alone introduces its own dangers of following a logic to the point of absurdity that goes unnoticed. Minor mistakes in thinking can metastasize and create models that make no sense in reality….

Now look at what RDS posted yesterday on  March 19, 2023 18:48

RED ALERT — THE AMA IS COMING AFTER ANY LICENSED MEDICAL DOCTOR WHO DOESN’T “TOE THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT” LINE, ESPECIALLY REGARDING COVID-19 AND/OR THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — INCLUDING HAVING THEIR LICENSES TO PRACTICE MEDICINE REVOKED. PLEASE SPREAD THE FOLLOWING.

The AMA is responding to REAL EVIDENCE-BASED reports like this one:

https://doi.org/10.1107/s00392-022-02129-5

published 27 November 2022

“Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination”

Schwab, C., et al. (Germany)

The AMA can’t touch Dr. Schwab, who practices in Germany.

But the AMA can sure as H3ll come after doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Ryan Cole here in the United States, who are getting the REAL truth out about COVID-19 and/or the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

The following came into Yours Truly’s email box a couple of days ago:

https://edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learning/audio-player/18724945

“Social Media and Medical Misinformation: Confronting New Variants of an Old Problem”

audio, about 8 minutes

Yours Truly: The AMA wants to come after what THEY deem as “medical misinformation”, especially anything related to COVID-19 and the COVID-19 “vaccines”, via (from the summary):

“…algorithmic adjustment, misinformation research and surveillance, and medical professional training and community engagement.” (bolding mine)

But the “Big Gun” AMA report is this one:

http://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/press-releases/ama-adopts-new-policy-aimed-addressing-public-health-disinformation

June 13, 2022

Yours Truly: The AMA, at the annual meeting of its House of Delegates in June, 2022, adopted a new “policy” toward dealing with what THE AMA deems to be any licensed medical doctor who doesn’t “toe the medical establishment” line, especially regarding COVID-19 and/or the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

The AMA new “policy” specifically targets “health-related disinformation spread by health professionals.”

The AMA will implement these new “policies” via:

The AMA;

Social media companies;

State licensing bodies;

Credentialing boards;

State and Specialty health professional societies;

Continuing Education accreditors.

The AMA will also implement new “best practices” regarding paywalls and preprints “to improve access to evidence-based information and analysis.” (Translation: shut down or severely hamper the acceptance, peer-review, and publication of ANY information [including articles and research reports] that THE AMA deems to have “disinformation” of any kind regarding COVID-19 and/or the COVID-19 “vaccines”.)

It may be assumed that the AMA will work with (influence) the CDC and the FDA on applying these new “policies.”

It may be assumed that the AMA will work with (influence) the NIH / NIAID in applying these new “policies” regarding the awarding of research grants.

The AMA report relies on the left-wing Center for Countering Digital Hate organization’s report on “The Disinformation Dozen” regarding the creation of these new “policies.” (www.https://counterhate.com/research/the-disinformation-dozen/)

IMO, the AMA report above is a “heads-up” PLUS a WARNING to any licensed medical doctor who has ANY opinion that goes against “the establishment medical” line. The AMA is making it clear that it will come after ANY such medical doctor, whether or not they belong to the AMA.

The AMA has IMMENSE “influence” on the American medical profession and through lobbying.

In the year 2019, per http://www.opensecrets.org/ the AMA spent just under $21 million dollars in lobbying.

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.

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).

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:

Home title theft.

This is a “threat” I only learned about from frantic radio commercials warning that your home can be stolen from you. They claim thieves can deed your property to themselves and then mortgage or even sell it without your knowledge. In fact, they may have done so already! You may have lost all your home equity! You’ll discover the fraud when you are evicted by a foreclosure or new owner!

Of course, after all these alarms, the ads offer a solution: buy their title theft insurance. They promise to shield your title, monitor it 24/7 and alert you when a fraudulent title transfer is filed. One company charges $79 a year for $1,000,000 of title theft insurance. It’s highly unlikely any such company will ever pay out a dime of insurance.

The claims are so over the top that these companies either don’t understand the law or are intentionally bending the facts. Like most things, these outlandish claims include a grain of truth. It is true that anyone can forge your name to any document, including a deed supposedly transferring title to the forger. Such a deed could be filed with the county register of deeds.

That doesn’t mean someone has stolen your title.

First, a forged deed is not valid and conveys nothing. Only you can legally transfer your title to a third party. If a buyer or a lender rely on a forged deed and don’t do their due diligence on a property’s title, they are out of luck. They, not the legitimate property owner, will ultimately lose any money paid to the thief.

Second, a would-be forger could easily get a blank deed form online and fill in your property’s legal description obtained from public records. However, the signature must be certified by a notary public, who is required by law to verify your identity.

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.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.

AMEN.

This is an interesting take on the FED.

The Federal Reserve just hijacked American Democracy

…So in order to prevent these banks from going under, the Fed invented a new facility they’re calling the “Bank Term Funding Program”, or BTFP.

But the BTFP is really just an extraordinary lie designed to make you think that the banking system is safe. They might as well have called it, “Believe This Fiction, People”, and I’ll show you why….

And when banks borrow money from the Fed, they have to post collateral too….

So now, through the BTFP, the Fed will now accept banks’ sagging bond portfolios as collateral, but loan the bank MORE money than the bond portfolios are worth.

Let’s say you’re an insolvent bank that invested, say, $100 billion in bonds. Those bonds are now worth $85 billion, and your bank is about to go under. “NO PROBLEMO!” says the Fed.

The bank simply posts their bond portfolio (which is only worth $85 billion) as collateral, and the Fed will loan the bank the full $100 billion… as if those losses never occurred.

It’s a complete lie. Everyone is pretending that the banks haven’t lost any money to give you a false sense of confidence in the financial system. “Believe the Fiction, People.”

Remember that banks in the US have more than $600 billion in unrealized bond losses right now. And that number will keep increasing if interest rates continue to rise.

So this means that the Fed has essentially guaranteed that entire $600+ billion. Commercial banks won’t lose a penny— they can now pass their financial risks down to the Federal Reserve.

This isn’t a bailout… it’s a time bomb.

We can keep our fingers crossed and hope that this time bomb never explodes. But if it does, the Federal Reserve is going to be looking at hundreds of billions in losses… which would trigger devastating consequences for the US dollar.

This means that everyone who uses US dollars… including every man, woman, and child in America, is ultimately on the hook for the potential consequences of the BTFP.

And that’s what is so remarkable about this: the Fed just made this decision all on its own.

Congress didn’t pass a law. There were no hearings, no judicial oversight, no votes.

Instead, several unelected bureaucrats who have been consistently wrong got together in a room and decided to guarantee $600+ billion in bank losses… and stick the American people with the consequences.

This is the same organization that said in February 2021 that there was no inflation.

The same organization that said in July 2021 that inflation was transitory and would pass in a few months.

The same organization that said in June 2022 that they finally understand “how little we understand about inflation.”

The same organization that said THREE DAYS before SVB’s collapse that “nothing about the data” suggested any risks with their policy actions.

The Fed has been wrong at every critical point over the past few years. And they’ve now unilaterally signed up every single person in America to a $600+ billion bank bailout without so much as a courtesy phone call to Congress.

This is apparently what Democracy means in America today.

Well, we just watched an unelected committee of central bankers hijack democracy and stick the American people with a potential $600+ billion bank bailout.

 Looking at the Federal Reserve Bank through the eyes of Congressman Wright Patman (D) in 1964 before President Nixon had to close the gold window.

Excerpts from:
A PRIMER ON MONEY
COMMITTEE ON BANKING AND CURRENCY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WRIGHT PATMAN Chairman 1964

….The truth is, however, that the Private banks, collectively, have deposited not a penny of their own funds, or their depositors funds, with the Federal Reserve banks. The impression that they do so arises from the fact that reserves, once created, can be, and are, transferred back and forth from one bank to another, as one bank gains deposits and another loses deposits. [pg 37]

Under Secretary of the Treasury Robert V. Roosa, formerly a Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, while testifying before the House Committee on Banking and Currency in 1960, described the misconception as follows:

“There is another misconception which occurs much more frequently-that is, the banks think that they give us the reserves on which we operate and that, too, is a misconception. We encounter that frequently, and, as you know, we create those reserves under the authority that has been described here.”

The writer [Wright Patman] has had a couple of personal experiences which ‘have provided some amusing confirmation of the fact that the source of bank reserves is not deposits of cash by the member banks with the Federal Reserve banks. having seen reports that the Federal Reserve System had, on a given date, Government securities amounting to a proximately $28 billion, I went on one occasion to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York where these securities are supposed to be housed, and asked if I might be allowed to see them. The officials of this bank said, yes, they would be glad to show them to me; whereupon they opened the vaults and let me look at, and even hold in my hand, the large mound of Government securities which they claimed to have and which, in fact, they did have.

Since I had also seen reports that the member banks of the Federal Reserve System had a certain number of millions of dollars in “cash reserves” on deposit with the Federal Reserve bank, I then asked if I might be allowed to see these cash reserves. This time my question was met with some looks of surprise; the bank officials then patiently explained to me that there were no cash reserves. The cash, in truth, does not exist and never has existed. [pg 38]

When the Federal Reserve purchases a $1 million Government bond and gives some bank credit for $1 million in its reserve account, that bank also credits the bond dealer’s checking account with $1 million. I n other words, to acquire $1 million of reserves, the bank also assumes a liability to pay its customers $1 million. If the transactions stopped here, the bank would, of course, come out even, neither gaining anything nor losing anything. But the fact that there is now $1.million more of bank reserves than existed before means that the private banks as a group can create $6 million more money than existed before. In other words, by acquiring this $1 million more in bank reserves, the private banks have the privilege of creating another $6 million of bank deposits, in the process of which they acquire $6 million in interest-bearing securities or loan paper, less an allowance for leakage into the cash (currency) balances of the public. [pg 43]

What amount of Government securities have the private banks acquired with bank-created money?

On January 31, 1964, all commercial banks in this country owned $62.7 billion in U.S. Government securities. The banks have acquired these securities with bank-created money. In other words, the (banks have used the Federal Government’s power to create money without charge to lend $62.7 billion to the Government at interest…

They were told that earlier military studies had found they were not at greater risk than the general U.S. population.

Navy A-6 Intruder pilot Jim Seaman died of cancer at age 61. He is one of a group of pilots who were diagnosed with cancer, the Associated Press reported. His widow Betty Seaman has been part of a large group of aviators and surviving spouses who have lobbied Congress and the Pentagon for years to look into the number of cancers aviators and ground crew face. Betty Seaman via AP

But in a yearlong study of almost 900,000 service members who flew on or worked on military aircraft between 1992 and 2017, the Pentagon found that air crew members had an 87% higher rate of melanoma and a 39% higher rate of thyroid cancer, as the AP reported.

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2023/03/19/higher-cancer-rates-found-in-military-pilots-ground-crews/

The Pentagon said the new study was one of the largest and most comprehensive to date. An earlier study had looked at just Air Force pilots and had found some higher rates of cancer, while this one looked across all services and at both air and ground crews. Even with the wider approach, the Pentagon cautioned that the actual number of cancer cases was likely to be even higher because of gaps in the data, which it said it would work to remedy.

kalbokalbs

First I’ve read of military pilots, ground crews and cancer.

  • Thyroid cancer mentioned several times above.

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.

  • DW had multiple cancers, in her thyroids. Lopped out ~2002.
  • We know many that have had thyroid cancer.

Links above opened. Will read in in awhile. When I can dedicate time to them.

para59r

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.

From Fox News.

The study was required by Congress as part of the 2021 defense bill. 

Even with the wider approach, the Pentagon cautioned that the actual number of cancer cases was likely to be even higher because of gaps in the data — which it said it would work to remedy.

The study was required by Congress in the 2021 defense bill, the AP noted.

Now, given that higher rates were found, the Pentagon must conduct an even bigger review to try to understand why crews are getting sick.

IMO. ALL military these days, surely have a higher rate of cancer, cuz JABS.

Likely applies to everyone Jabbed.The studies, I thought looked more historical, pre Covidiocy. I’ll pay more attention. Pre-Covidiot Injections.

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

phoenixrising

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.”

NASA quietly disclosed that a giant city-killer asteroid could directly impact Earth on March 25 at over 18,000 mph

NASA quietly posted data to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory small-body database that shows an asteroid larger than twenty-four African elephants has a chance of striking Earth on March 25, 2023.

The 230-foot-wide chunk of rock is headed in rather hot, at a speed of over 18,000 miles per hour, and has likely prompted some in the know to pull out funds and check off any remaining items on their bucket list in the coming days in case.

Asteroid 2023 DZ2 was discovered on February 27, 2023, sending analysts into a frenzy to solve its trajectory…

I wonder what that does to the chances of tossing the earth into glaciation?

Younger Dryas impact event

…The site the discovery was made is known as Abu Hureyra, which was abandoned around 5,000 years ago.

The glass finds are believed to have been formed from the instantaneous melting and vaporization of regional biomass, soils and floodplain deposits, followed by instantaneous cooling. This is really only common during impact events.

Graham Hancock and others such as Randall Carlson have long said that it was likely a fragmented comet, and that is what the scientists are saying who are analysing the Syrian finds. A single, major asteroid impact could not have caused the widely scattered material discovered at Abu Hureyra and the experts say that it is more likely a fragmented comet.

The Younger Dryas Event is what caused a large megafaunal extinction, seeing the end of woolly mammoths, species of bison, American horses and camels, and giant sloths. It also saw the end of the North American Clovis culture.

The evidence is there in the field and it continues to stack up. Two years ago we read about reports of a 19-mile wide crater in Greenland that could be related to this cataclysmic event and in October 2019, a study was published that said there was a mini ice age 12,800 years ago that was caused by an impact event.

But at the beginning of this mini ice age there were huge levels of burning and now we know that Abu Hureyra was abruptly destroyed from what can only be an impact event. We have new direct evidence of the disaster, together with tons of data from around the world….

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

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.]

I am sure the elites are hoping the meteor doesn’t notice New Zealand.

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”.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

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.

It looks like the Fed just blinked as noted on their web site

Coordinated central bank action to enhance the provision of U.S. dollar liquidity

The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National Bank are today announcing a coordinated action to enhance the provision of liquidity via the standing U.S. dollar liquidity swap line arrangements.

To improve the swap lines’ effectiveness in providing U.S. dollar funding, the central banks currently offering U.S. dollar operations have agreed to increase the frequency of 7-day maturity operations from weekly to daily. These daily operations will commence on Monday, March 20, 2023, and will continue at least through the end of April.

The network of swap lines among these central banks is a set of available standing facilities and serve as an important liquidity backstop to ease strains in global funding markets, thereby helping to mitigate the effects of such strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses.

And from ZH

“And once the USD swap lines are reopened, the rest of the cavalry follows: rate cuts, QE (the real stuff, not that Discount Window nonsense), etc, etc. In fact, we have already seen a near record surge in reserve injections:

The Fed may as well formalize it now and at least preserve some confidence in the banking sector, even if it means destroying all confidence left in the “inflation fighting” Fed, with all those whose were in charge handing in their resignation for their catastrophic handling of this bank crisis.”

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 nucleosideswith blunted immune sensor capacityand thus augmented expression.” (bolding mine)
These structural elementsare 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.

RDS

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.

Bernhard at MoA has some thoughts on the banking crisis in ‘The West’ :
———————————-

Casino Aficionados Will Have A Busy Day
Warren Buffet:

“Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.”

One large dealer was quoting Credit Suisse bonds at levels that were as much as 6.5 points higher than Friday, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private activity in the over-the-counter market.

Holders of Credit Suisse Group AG bonds suffered a historic loss when a takeover by UBS Group AG wiped out about 16 billion Swiss francs ($17.3 billion) worth of risky notes.

The deal will trigger a “complete write-down” of the bank’s additional tier 1 bonds in order to increase core capital, Swiss financial regulator FINMA said in a statement on its website. Meanwhile, the bank’s shareholders are set to receive 3 billion francs.

Pacific Investment Management Co., Invesco Ltd. and BlueBay Funds Management Co. SA were among the many asset managers holding Credit Suisse AT1 notes, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Their holdings may have changed or been sold entirely since their last regulatory filings.

AT1 bonds were introduced in Europe after the global financial crisis to serve as shock absorbers when banks start to fail. They are designed to impose permanent losses on bondholders or be converted into equity if a bank’s capital ratios fall below a predetermined level, effectively propping up its balance sheet and allowing it to stay in business.

HSBC Holdings Plc fell as much as 6.6% in Hong Kong trading, the biggest drop in nearly six months, with its newly issued AT1 bond declining more than 5 cents. Standard Chartered Plc slid as much as 5.6%.

The complete write-down of Credit Suisse’s AT1 debt as part of a Swiss bailout has investors in the $275 billion market scrambling to determine how much protection the notes offer in a crisis.

A $1 billion AT1 bond with a coupon of 4.5% was bid as low as 1 cent on the dollar, Tradeweb pricing showed.

Hong Kong plummeted 2.7 percent, with heavyweight HSBC off nearly six percent on worries about its exposure to risky bonds related to Credit Suisse. Standard Chartered also sank.

The losses came even as the city’s de facto central bank said its banking sector had “insignificant” exposure to Credit Suisse.

Other regional bank shares were also hit, including Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, National Australia Bank and India’s ICICI.

London, Frankfurt and Paris all fell in early Monday trade.

Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul and Mumbai were also in the red.

Shanghai rose after the Chinese central bank cut the amount of cash banks must keep in reserve, hoping to boost the country’s economy.

Comment lifted from MoA:
———————————

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.”

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??
Factbox: Credit Suisse’s scandals – spies, lies and money laundering

Oct 3, 2022 Credit Suisse pleaded guilty to defrauding investors over an $850 million loan to Mozambique meant to pay for a tuna fishing fleet and is paying U.S. and British regulators $475 million…

On China and Credit Suisse…

4/15/2019 Credit Suisse intends to take controlling stake in its China securities joint venture

Credit Suisse has reached an agreement with Founder Securities Co. Ltd. (“Founder Securities”) to increase its shareholding in its Credit Suisse Founder Securities Limited (“CSFS”) joint venture, subject to regulatory approvals. This confirmation follows disclosure by Founder Securities to the Shanghai Stock Exchange earlier today.

As a result of the agreement, Credit Suisse’s shareholding is expected to increase from 33.3% to 51% by way of capital injection. The shareholding of Founder Securities in CSFS will reduce to 49% as a result.

The completion of this transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals. Credit Suisse will continue to work closely with Founder Securities and the respective regulatory authorities in this regard.

Established in 2008 and headquartered in Beijing, CSFS focuses on providing a range of capital markets services to clients in the domestic China market, including sponsoring and underwriting A-shares, foreign investment shares, and government and corporate bonds as well as providing financial advisory services. Since October 2016, it has also operated a securities brokerage business in Shenzhen Qianhai.

Credit Suisse has a long-term commitment to China, having had a presence in the country for more than 30 years.

During that time, Credit Suisse has established a strong Greater China franchise, with a market leading franchise across equities, investment banking & capital markets and private banking. 

It also has an asset management joint venture – ICBC Credit Suisse Asset Management Co. Ltd. – which is now among the largest in China, with total assets under management of nearly RMB 1.3 trillion (CHF 194 billion), as of the end of December 2018.

What was Bernhard’s first quote in his article posted above?

Warren Buffet:

“Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.”

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.

phoenixrising

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.

TheseTruths

We need to make THEM fear.

Gail Combs

And that is why showing at their OFFICES works a lot better than at the state capitol (DemonRat Schiff hole…)

Gail Combs

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.

Gail Combs

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.

Gail Combs

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 …
