Dear KAG: 20230329 Open Thread

Are we ready?

Today we begin with the Tik Tok bill. Banning Tik Tok is one thing. What the lobbyists, uh, Congress has written in this bill goes WAAAAYYYYY beyond that.

Tucker Carlson Warns About Senate Bill 686, The Restrict Act, Framed Around TikTok But Focused on Domestic Online Censorship

The TikTok Hysteria Is About Protecting Censorship and Profit

As written, the bill by Senator John Warner (D-Va.) would authorize the secretary of commerce to “identify, deter, disrupt, prevent, prohibit . . . or otherwise mitigate . . . [and] address any risk arising from . . . any property . . . that the Secretary determines . . . poses an undue or unacceptable risk of . . . interfering in . . . the result or reported result of a Federal election, as determined in coordination with the Attorney General, the Director of National Intelligence . . . ” or, “activities by a foreign adversary that are designed to undermine democratic processes and institutions or steer policy and regulatory decisions in favor of the strategic objectives of a foreign adversary.”

That would presumably include anyone who publishes words contrary to the accepted See Why Aye narratives.

Following up on the article from yesterday re AI and the private funding drying up, here is a podcast episode from the Catholic Talk Show that discusses the pitfalls and dangers of the technology. (I promise, there is no actual hard core Dogma in the discussion.)

And regarding the very technology discussed in that podcast:

Okay, onward into the weeds:

Uncommon Senselessness: Who Are These People?

My conclusion is that we bend over backwards, turn the other cheek and give the benefit of the doubt to those who’ve declared themselves our political enemies because we feel we must remain on the moral high ground and be true to our beliefs.

One of those beliefs is that all people have the right to speak their minds however objectionable or wrong-headed/wrong-hearted their comments and core beliefs may be. We conservatives defend the right of every person to be wrong, and because we’ve been brought up to believe that there are just some things that civilized people don’t do to each other, we leave our flank exposed to attack from those on the Left.

We let our ideals get the better of us.

DANIEL 3:14-20, 91-92, 95

14King Nebuchadnezzar questioned them: “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you will not serve my god, or worship the golden statue that I set up? 15Be ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made, whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, lyre, harp, psaltery, bagpipe, and all the other musical instruments; otherwise, you shall be instantly cast into the white-hot furnace; and who is the God that can deliver you out of my hands?” 16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, “There is no need for us to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17If our God, whom we serve, can save us from the white-hot furnace and from your hands, O king, may he save us! 18But even if he will not, know, O king, that we will not serve your god or worship the golden statue which you set up.” 19Nebuchadnezzar’s face became livid with utter rage against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace to be heated seven times more than usual 20and had some of the strongest men in his army bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and cast them into thewhite-hot furnace. 91King Nebuchadnezzar rose in haste and asked his nobles, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” “Assuredly, O king,” they answered. 92“But,” he replied, “I see four men unfettered and unhurt, walking in the fire, and the fourth looks like a son of God.” 95Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel to deliver the servants that trusted in him; they disobeyed the royal command and yielded their bodies rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

Bagpipes?

DANIEL 3:52-56

52“Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever; And blessed is your holy and glorious name, praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages. 53Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, praiseworthy and glorious above all forever. 54Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. 55Blessed are you who look into the depths from your throne upon the cherubim, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. 56Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven, praiseworthy and glorious forever.

JOHN 8:31-42

31Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” 33They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, `You will be made free’?” 34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin. 35The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever. 36So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. 38I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” 39They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do what Abraham did, 40but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did. 41You do what your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.” 42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

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

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

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

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

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

He’s behaving like MAGA.

cthulhu

It’s just your iMAGAnation….

TheseTruths

Good for him. I hope the “sweeping changes” survive the political process.

kalbokalbs

First I’ve read of this. Pleasant surprise.

Truthfully, it’ll likely go no where. NV both houses in NV are solidly D-Rat, bolstered with traitorous R-Cons.

On the positive side, NV legislators meet every two years, (IIRC) for 120 days.

A few years back, idjit NV legislators considered legislation to meet annually. I sent many comments suggesting them fools to meet every four years. Splaining, they’d do less damage to NV. Never heard back from the idjits.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

LOL!!!

Sadie Slays

Platformer and Ars Technica are reporting that that there’s a “secret list of Twitter VIPs getting boosted over everyone else,” according to “leaked documents.” Go ahead and guess who is on the list. If you had read my posts here over the years about catturd being artificially spammed across multiple platforms, then it will come as no surprise that catturd is indeed one of the accounts receiving artificial boosting alongside Ben Shapiro and Joe Biden. 

“If the engineers identified segments of the ranking system where tweets from these accounts were ‘dropping,’ they could tweak the code to ensure that tweets from those accounts were always shown,” sources told Platformer.

As a result of these tests, sources told Platformer that these accounts’ tweets were shown more frequently in the “For You” tab than they would have been organically.

There it is. Twitter straight up tweaks the code to make sure you see Ben Shapiro and catturd tweets over everyone else. These “influencers” are not organic. Their tweets are artificially propped up by Big Tech as a means of sliding actual, useful information off of your newsfeed.  

The secret list of Twitter VIPs getting boosted over everyone else

But Twitter does have a different standard for celebrities – including Musk himself. For months, the platform has maintained a list of around 35 VIP users whose accounts it monitors and offers increased visibility alongside Elon Musk, according to documents obtained by Platformer. The list, which spans the political gamut and also includes several journalists and celebrities, includes:

NBA All-Star LeBron James

Daily Wire founder and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro

Pseudonymous conservative commentator @catturd2

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY

President Joe Biden

This makes lots of sense!

TheseTruths

I’m not surprised if Catturd’s postings are being used by Big Tech if they’re trying to move other content away from the spotlight. He is immensely popular, provides solid conservative content, and includes good humor. His being used by someone else is not an indication of Catturd’s having done anything wrong.

michaelh

They got rid of CarpeDonkum, for example, who had a big following himself before they took the hammer to him

scott467

Isn’t Elon Musk promising some kind of transparency within Twitter, by open-sourcing the algorithms, and wouldn’t that expose such unfair practices?

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Sundance has a great post about Tucker’s video therein.

Sadie Slays

Regarding this tweet from DP’s post:

Looks like the end goal is building an “everything” app like Chinese WeChat. The Microchipper has also talked about turning Twitter into a WeChat clone. They want/need everyone on these mega-apps in order to surveil and consolidate control. WeChat, for example, is a vital to China’s social credit system.  

https://www.reuters.com/article/twitter-m-a-musk-super-app-explainer-idCAKBN2R01WS

kalbokalbs

I barely follow this stuff loosely. BUT…

IIRC, it was around the time Elon was making waves to buy TW.

Elon stated, his goal was TW to become the home, to all apps.

  • A warning Will Robinson moment for me. Lights flashed. Klaxons blared.

Coincidence. /s

While I cheer Elon’s opening up TW, THERE REMAINS TW CENSORING.

  • There will be some saying, TW is weeding out bad algorithms.
  • Me, tired of EXCUSES. TW censoring IS BLATANT to this day.
michaelh

According to federal law, a hate crime is defined as:

– A criminal offense against persons, property, or society

that is motivated, in whole or in part, by an offender’s

bias against an individual’s or a group’s perceived race,

religion, ethnic/national origin, gender, age, disability,

or sexual orientation.

scott467

Then the definition is a contradiction in itself.

Bias ≠ hate.

If it did, then every person on the planet is guilty of hate crimes, all day long, every day of their lives — including every single prosecutor, judge and jailor.

Or to say it another way, anyone who claims he is without bias is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Under Gowachin law, courtarena participants are allowed to have overt bias, but are not allowed prejudice.

scott467

How do they distinguish between overt bias and prejudice?

cthulhu

Prejudice is pre-judgment — no matter the facts or law, X is guilty. Bias is “X looks like a low-life, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s guilty.”

scott467

How do Gowachins determine which term is operational at any given moment?

In other words, how do they read someone’s mind?

cthulhu

The Gowachin legal system is laid out in a series of works by Frank Herbert, most notably The Dosadi Experiment. It is a blood sport, and everyone within the courtarena — judges, legums (quasi-lawyers), plaintiffs, defendents, witnesses, officers of the court, or audience members — is at physical risk (including summary execution).

It is run within an ancient framework of law, ceremony, ritual, and custom that, among other things, is designed to accurately discern the difference between prejudice and bias. It also tends to minimize the amount of frivolous litigation.

cthulhu

For a little background….

Spoiler

The ConSentiency is a group of races who got to meet each other when they encountered “jumpdoors”, which allowed for instantaneous transport between far-flung planets in different star-systems. Taprisiots, which allowed instantaneous communication, somehow worked similarly.

These were “gifts” from a race known as the Caleban, who showed up on planets in containers nicknamed “beachballs”.

The fact that the power requirements for such shenanigans were comparable to the output of stars somehow didn’t immediately click and it took a while to realize that Caleban were sentient stars.

The Dosadi Experiment involved a planet named Dosadi and a peculiar Caleban contract. All sorts of entities could be jumpdoor’d to this planet (which was a barely-survivable hellhole), but none could jumpdoor back OUT in the same body. To help this little game along, a creature could be trained to be a “Pcharky” and swap intellects between bodies.

Run “properly”, this would lead to a form of immortality — once you got old, you took a jumpdoor to Dosadi and got a young body. The conditions on Dosadi would soon kill off your old body and the younger intellect trapped within. You didn’t even have to keep the same species, and you could do this more than once.

After a while, however, the inhabitants of Dosadi staged a jailbreak. They killed all but one Pcharky, lured McKie to the planet, and “swapped” him with Jedrik, leaving both active in both bodies (except when exercising the contractual exit).

cthulhu

Incidentally, I think it would be awesome to see Fauci, Pfizer, and the whole WEF/lockdown crowd tried in a Gowachin court……from a safe distance, of course…..

Gail Combs

The other side being Marines who got riffed for not taking the Clot Shot…

scott467

I should restate this, since bias does not necessarily or even frequently result in any crime:

.

Then the definition is a contradiction in itself.

Bias ≠ hate.

If it did, then every person on the planet is guilty of hate crimes, all day long, every day of their lives, because everyone has bias — including every single prosecutor, judge and jailor.

Or to say it another way, anyone who claims he is without bias is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

…………………
From the United States Dept. of Justice:

Bias is a human trait resulting from our tendency and need to classify individuals into categories as we strive to quickly process information and make sense of the world.”
…………………

The same thing applies to stereotypes. If you have to have a debate with yourself about whether a lion is dangerous, instead of instantly reacting to a stereotype understanding of the danger, you don’t survive the encounter.

Bias certainly isn’t limited to classifying individuals, and the vast majority of the time, bias has no malicious intent at all. Does someone like blue flowers better than red ones? That’s just his or her personal bias / preference, it doesn’t make that person bad.

Bias influences what (and how) we think about lots of things. Often we can’t even articulate why we have a positive or negative response (bias, preference, repulsion) to something (or someone).

So how in the world can prosecutors read someone’s mind with enough accuracy to make a determination worthy of extra punishment, when the person whose mind is supposedly being read may not even be able to articulate it themselves?

And even if all the planets were in perfect alignment, such that ‘bias’ was determined to be ‘hate’, and ‘hate’ was admitted by the defendant, how does that justify a harsher sentence than the sentence given to someone else who committed the exact same crime, with the exact same result, but without any determination of ‘bias’ or ‘hate’?

michaelh

You have proven, QED, that it is not meant to be logical, but merely a kafkatrap for political persecution.

kalbokalbs

Smacks of a gotcha law.

Show me the man, and I’ll show you a hate crime. Horseshit Law.

RAC

If it said “…….motivated, in whole or in part, by an offender’s bias against an individual’s political orientation”, the DoJ would have to investigate itself.

Gail Combs

Seems Christians, esp White Christian Males should open up ‘Color of Law’ law suits against the DOJ, FBI and Homeland Security and a whole lot of Congress Critters and Senate Snakes.

You can use getting kicked off twatter as being based on HATE.

singingsoul1

Trump has been a victim of hate crime and still is perpetrated by prosecutors.

See if this works

Breaking: O’Keefe Media Group Uncovers Potential MASSIVE Money Laundering into Political Campaigns

  • The O’Keefe Media Group broke its first story investigating what appears to be a national plot to utilize senior citizens matching a similar profile as vehicles to launder millions of dollars into political campaigns.
  • The data breaking down the scheme and high volume of contributions was provided to OMG’s newsroom by a Wisconsin based group called Election Watch, led by Peter Bernegger and corroborated by cross referencing data on the Federal Election Commission site and state data.
  • Through these publicly available records, it was discovered that Maryland voters had excessive amounts of donations made in their names – not just once, not just twice, but some of them over 10,000 times since 2019.
  • Several of these donors, who Bernegger calls “smurfs” in accordance with its label as a term for those involved in the structure of money laundering, would have to make dozens of contributions a day to keep pace with their contribution levels.
  • Facets of this scheme have been previously reported on by the Epoch Times and The Gateway Pundit and seemingly dismissed by legacy media. Most donors in the data are tied to Democrat fundraising entity ActBlue.
  • The O’Keefe Media Group is the first news organization to capture interviews on camera with the senior citizens who are apparent victims of this scheme.
  • Take for example Garland Riggs, a resident of Maryland who has made 31,073 contributions for a sum of over $230,000 from 2015 to 2022 according to FEC and state data. When approached at their doorstep by James O’Keefe, Mrs. Riggs and her husband were shocked by the figures. When told they were listed as giving over $230,000 Mr. Riggs said “No, not us,” before imploring O’Keefe to help him “get to the bottom of all this.”
  • In response to this interaction and several other interviews with Maryland residents, the top election administrator in Maryland, State Election Administrator Linda Lamone, said her office “doesn’t know anything about that” and declined to comment further.

[ANNAPOLIS, MD ] Residents across the country who have previously given contributions to Democrat fundraising arm ActBlue appear to unknowingly be a part of a national money laundering scheme to funnel millions of dollars into political campaigns. This was a tip that came from Peter Bernegger of Election Watch, a group guided toward “protecting the integrity of elections.”

The hypothesis has been given credence now that an O’Keefe Media Group investigation not only verified the data on state and federal election sites but also published in-person corroborating interviews with these donors.
Through publicly available records, it was discovered that several Maryland voters had excessive amounts of donations made in their names – not just once, not just twice, but some of them over 10,000 times since 2019.
The O’Keefe Media Group then conducted in person interviews with some of these Maryland voters to inquire as to what knowledge, if any, these Maryland residents had of the scheme.
Cindy Nowe of Annapolis made 1009 unique contributions from 2019-2022 to ActBlue totaling over $18,000 according to federal and state elections data.
She was dismayed by this figure when interviewed by James O’Keefe. Nowe stated that she donates to ActBlue “once in a while,” but she laughed off the $18K figure saying “I doubt that…No I don’t think so.” She added “I wish I could have donated $18,000.”
Another Maryland resident, Garland Riggs, denied that so many contributions could have come from her family with her husband saying “no, not us.” According to publicly available records Riggs contributed more $230,000 through over 31,000 individual donations.
Both in Maryland and nationally, Warnock for Georgia, Amy for America, Progressive Turnout and many more Democratic PACs seem to be the common recipients of these contributions from what Bernegger calls “smurfs,” in accordance with its label as a term for those involved in the structure of money laundering.
James O’Keefe has implored those following the story “who are fearless, with integrity, and willing to find out the truth” to join him and uncover more of these victims and who is at the top of what could be the biggest financial fraud scheme in the history of the United States

RAC

Wonder if it can be traced back to who was supplying the money.

michaelh

I think we need a whistleblower in ActBlue. I don’t think a FOIA is going to cut it in this case.

RAC

Also wonder if the people whose names were being used got a % cut. Because this was reported quite some time ago, maybe months my memories shot, but at the time it mentioned that some of the people were unemployed, and those already short of cash wouldn’t be giving any away.

Aubergine

I believe I found one myself, in my little town. A retired old lady with almost 600 contributions to ActBlue over a year, with multiples on the same days.

Search here by zip code for political contributions, and see if any look suspicious to you:

https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2022&min_date=01%2F01%2F2021&max_date=12%2F31%2F2022

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

That sounds like a hit!!!

Aubergine

🙂

michaelh

Send Aubergine in with a hidden camera, and she can show James how it’s REALLY done!

Aubergine

Lol! I’m better researching behind a keyboard, believe me!

Gail Combs

How do you find the number of times contributed?

Gail Combs

OK I figured it out.

LOTS of unemployed who donated $10-$30

para59r

Quick story.
Donated $100.00 to Donald Trump back in December. At the time being aware of WinReds dirty tricks I double and triple checked to make sure the money was not going to Win Red and I made sure the donation was for one time with no extra thrills.

Earlier this month I saw $100.00 on my bank statement that said Win Red.
I did not donate to Win Red.

Month before another Win Red for $100.00.
I DID NOT DONATE TO WIN RED!

Anyway, bank is at work clawing back the two additional donations and making sure no further donations go forward.

The thing is part of this is a lot of these little donations are likely along the same lines where these people made one donation not aware it was going to be recurring.

The other part of this is someone is using these initial deposits to sprinkle money into these political campaigns and thus skirting campaign donation laws. Both things are happening.

If you know any of these people you might want to bring up you noticed their extravagant giving and if not a complete incapable bum they’ll likely try to put a stop to it which is part of what James intends. The other part of what James intends is put the fear of law into them. Applauds both.

Aubergine

First, search your zip code. If you see an individual name in the list over and over, add it to the search on the left. So you get the person with that name in that zip code. Down at the bottom of the page that results, on the right you will see “Showing ______ Entries.” That is how many there are for that person.

Gail Combs

I took a look and found something interesting.

Here is the data:

A few from my little town out in the sticks.
6,959 entries

UNEMPLOYED
BOSTWICK, PAUL $5 to $25 one of $300 109 donations. Estimate ~1500 in a year.

FRENCH, JAMES $10 to $50, in 2 days in sep over $400 90 donation again estimate ~1500

FIRTH, JACQUELINE $50 to $250 8 donations total $600

COVENEY, NANCY $3 to $45 – 59 donations ~ $300

RUMELY, KATHLEEN $5 to $30 41 donations ~ $300

For the Unemployed I am seeing a lot of $8 or $3 donations. Given a five or a ten, you keep $2 and donate the rest???

Here is something interesting:
WHITE, WATHA (Fast food) 96 donations $0.10 to $5 most under a dollar.

It looks to me like someone was ‘Working’ the poor section of town.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

DURHAM NC (over 10 times the population) has Only 92 entries!!!

EVANS, PAUL $15 to $30, 28 donations ~ $400

PELAEZ, FLAVIO J $5 to $15 21 donations ~$150

RANDSTAD TECHNOLOGIES Project Manager – LAMARCHE, SHARIE $3 to $100 donations 36 total $1036 to ActBlue (I added but FEC shows $190 YTD in December.)

The global leader in the HR services industry | RandstadRandstad is the world’s largest talent company and a partner of choice to clients.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So it looks like the small cities and town are where they are working the Scam.

In my town with 6,959 entries 3,033 entries list UNEMPLOYED. 2,753 entries for ActBlue and 2 for WinRed.

1,466 entries for retired but a lot are for WinRed ( 1,014 entries) and ActBlue (44)

Valerie Curren

How did you get the totals?

Aubergine

Yes, small town, retired or unemployed people.

Thanks for this link, DePat! This is a real godsend for MK research.

This shows how early China had absolutely top-shelf MK – both the public kind, and the individual kind.

It also explains the “trans” thing.

TRANS is one of the best ways to create violent shooters, IMO. Its very parallel to the “Tranny Demon Hackers” that Torba experienced on Gab.

Remember – the FIB FALSE FLAG SHOOTER in Dayton was going TRANS, and his sister had already gone TRANS.

Very interesting to see how this information is suppressed from Wikipedia!!!

Highly, highly recommend Mao,The Unknown Story by Chang and Holliday. This is a very detailed but very readable book.

The Cultural Revolution was NOT a revolution. The link above is absolutely the first time I have ever seen (outside of the book) an accurate description of the cultural “revolution,” which was a (successful) plan to keep Mao in power. Not mentioned at the link, but found in the book, was the essential, vital role of Chinese media and other written material.

America is now undergoing the Chinese cultural “revolution” exactly. And China is the chief beneficiary. IMO the Chinese co-opted many American communists in the 80’s and 90’s, most prominently the Clintons. I knew one such person. She and her husband did not even keep secret their closeness to the Chinese government, making several trips there for extended stays. This person was in a position of influence, and went on to even greater influence.

Mao was a self-adoring, selfish sadist. What he did to China through the “revolution” was evil beyond imagination. But this exact “revolution” is taking place in America, using enthusiastic agents recruited over decades. American communists did not disappear. They became successful, highly educated persons of influence, burning with a hatred of America.

BRAVO!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes, the selfishness of Mao is really evident here. After the disaster of the “Great Leap Forward”, Chinese communism was about to correct itself of such tragic, millions-of-deaths errors. People were beginning to effectively understand what went wrong. THAT wasn’t good for Mao. Even if people never formally stated his responsibility, he could not have that even brought near consideration – that he had MADE AN ERROR.

Tonawanda

Exactly, Mao was in big trouble knew it.

BTW, in the book I mention above, the assassination of Lian Biao and the reasons (which I forget) are described very persuasively.

Judge Orders Georgia DA to Respond to Trump’s Request Case Be Dismissed

https://conservativebrief.com/ga-trump-71997/

A state judge in Georgia has given former President Donald Trump some hope in his effort to have a case brought against him regarding alleged 2020 election interference dismissed outright.

On Monday, Judge Robert McBurney of Georgia’s Fulton County Superior Court suggested that Trump’s legal team could have a basis for filing a motion to dismiss the case. McBurney ordered a temporary halt to the grand jury sessions and directed District Attorney Fani Willis (D) to respond by May 1 to Trump’s request that she provide a rationale for pursuing the case.

McBurney’s order reiterated that Trump’s legal team “seeks the disqualification of the District Attorney’s Office from any further investigation into or prosecution of such alleged interference.” Specifically, McBurney is putting the duty on prosecutors to explain why the case against Trump regarding alleged attempts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results ought to move ahead.

On March 20, Trump’s legal team submitted a request to McBurney seeking to dismiss the case, which coincided with Willis’s announcement of a potential expansion of the investigation into allegations of racketeering and conspiracy.

They should appeal directly to Elon Musk.

The only person in the entire organization who will actually hear and consider petitions fairly (certainly more fairly than ever before) happens to be the one guy who can actually do something about it.

Maybe he only considers those petitions ‘fairly’ out of his own self-interest.

If so, all the better, because any such motivation out of self-interest is unlikely to change.

I had forgotten that, and maybe only read about it once.

I was thinking his own self-interest was to make Twitter profitable by making it open to all, instead of just an echo chamber for Leftist radicals and kooks.

Yesterday RDS  Replied to me

IIRC, the late Dr. Luc Montagnier said that people who took the COVID-19 “vaccines” would start to die in 3 – 5 years.

THIS IS THE MISS-INFORMATION THAT WAS PUT OUT:
Everyone vaccinated for covid will DIE, warns French virologist

There is no chance of long-term survival for anyone who received a Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) injection, according to leading French virologist Luc Montagnier.

Everyone who is getting jabbed for the Chinese Virus will die, he reportedly stated during a recent interview, which you can watch below at Brighteon.com.

“There is no hope and no possible treatment for those who have already been vaccinated,” Montagnier stated plainly during the segment. “We must be prepared to cremate the bodies.”

2 minute video where Montagnier talks of Antibody-dependent Enhancement (ADE) and stimulating variants AND NOT DYING

[video src="https://coe-llc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/vaccine-created-varriants.mp4" /]

…..

Judy Mikovits & Charlene Bollinger*Blockbuster Interview*Vaccines, Luc Montagnier, Fake News, & the TRUTH That Sets You FREE!

…but the reason I wanted to talk with you today is because after Dr. Tenpenny left that meeting, she texted me and she showed me a film, a picture of Professor Luc Montagnier and it was in French. She text me the explanation of the text, so what was said to have been translated from Luc Montagnier. I simply said, “that doesn’t sound like Luc, so what was it translated as?” It was translated, “Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier has confirmed that there’s no chance of survival for people who have received any form of vaccine. In that shocking interview, the world’s leading virologist said bluntly, ‘there is no hope and no cure for those who have already been vaccinated. We must be prepared to cremate the bodies’. The scientific genius supported the claims of other prominent virologists after studying components of the vaccine”. Note, nowhere in that text does anybody say which vaccines. Anyway, “…they will all die from antibody dependent reinforcement”, which is actually correctly translated, antibody dependent enhancement, and we’ll unpack that in a minute.

Then they said, quoted him as saying, “nothing more can be said”…..

….all I did was simply send the email to ask Luc Montagnier directly from the, let’s get it right here. I got this back from his assistant, a long time partner, so Susanne and I won’t say her last name. She wrote back, and I wrote her and said, “what’s up?” She said, “he didn’t say that”…. He did not say that, we are not without hope, we have God, we cured AIDS with simple, normal things….

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Good. The whole “all gonna die” over-prediction has been bad science from the start.

“All at increased but unknown risk” is likely to be a sound speculation, supported by all data.

Bakhmut is going to fall to the RF sooner or later, I cannot see any reason for the military to change their minds on that, and zelensky will know it, anything else is make belief.
I think this may be the first indication, that zelensky is preparing his face saving grounds for negotiation, “the people pushed me”.
Hope I’m not wrong and the globo clown puppet finds his escape route quick…
**************************

“Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has said that if his troops were to surrender the city of Artyomovsk, known as Bakhmut in Ukraine, his government would come under domestic and international pressure to seek peace with Russia. 
“Our society will feel tired,” he told the Associated Press (AP) in an interview released on Wednesday. “Our society will push me to have compromise with them.”

I like how Russia keeps one road or so open in and out of Bakhmut. It lets Zelensky keep funneling his conscripts and mercs into a meat grinder. The Russians just wait for them and eliminate them as they come. All the while gobbling up the surrounding territory.

And hopefully you caught the part about the knifer freshly released from prison claiming he was hearing voice in his head to do it as he randomly picked his victim, which only a fool would believe.

This is clearly designed to have a chilling effect on Congress and all the staffers that work there. Hopefully it has the opposite effect and they all grow a set. Likely to be a mixed bag though. Shocked there has not been more reporting on this other than the initial stories. Do they fear talking about MK Ultra related issues. Afraid it will make them look like conspiracy kooks? Well the conspiracy is now staring them in the face and the worse thing they can do is blink and shy away from it.

Heck, at this point I’m not even sure if the staffer was male or female. Nothing more is popping up in the news. May have to dig on this one and pry out the truths.

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.

Absolutely stunning, brilliant assessment/compilation.

This is what Carlson was talking about in his segment about trans hatred of Christians.

Also, people ought to look into the “Catholic” “philosohper”, Teilhard de Chardin – – everything that rises must converge. His influence on the Catholic Church is broad and deep. I am guessing that Teilhard will become a subject of interest in the near future, when people discover how powerful he was.

I posted a passage from Dracula a few days ago, which was a simplified version of this post. Until I read the book, I did not know that it was about the nature of evil, and could be read a an amazingly accurate metaphor for 2023.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

It’s going to be everywhere very quickly.

scott467

“There are calls to put the brakes on AI for a bit, and I agree with that completely.”

___________

Why would anyone do it, i.e., put the brakes on?

This is an extremely lucrative venture for the participants, the competition is intense, progress is almost unbelievably fast paced, so stopping would quickly put whatever company stopped at an insurmountable disadvantage.

The only way to get all companies to stop would be through legislation, which would become a political football about which there would never be enough agreement to pass.

And if it did pass, it would only succeed in sidelining U.S. companies, driving U.S. research underground (Google and Gates and Open AI, et al, are not going to stop, they don’t care about rule of law), while foreign adversaries go full speed ahead.

For better or worse (worse, I’m sure), the toothpaste is out of the tube, and the genie is out of the bottle.

Good times.

scott467

The following comments, transcribed from a youtube video (today), are in line with the points I was making. My post was yesterday at 8:11pm, this video (with excerpts) was posted today, “4 hours ago”.

It doesn’t mean he is right (or that I am right), just pointing out the remarkably similar thought process, even using many of the same words and terms.

Referring to Elon’s call to suspend AI development for six months:

.

“…he [Elon] says below leading AGI developers will not heed this warning but at least it was said…”

“…let’s jump back to this this pause for six months idea, this is something that is I think in an Ideal World I think would be a marvelous idea. I don’t think however that it’s going to function in the world in which we live today, for better or worse I’m not at all, saying that I approve the outcome, but what I’m saying is that we don’t live in an idealized world and it’s something that would be very difficult for us anybody to be able to manage, which of course Elon is basically tacitly admitting by saying leading AGI developers will not heed this warning.”

“…or again is this just an open letter to say look we told you so when something bad happens we and point our fingers and say we were warning you?

So of course I don’t know the answer to that because I can’t get inside their heads, but I also feel like this is a little bit of a fairy tale type of world and, and I hate to say this, but you can’t put the genie back in the bottle, right?

We’re in a situation now where there are enough of these large language models, and I believe that’s specifically what they’re talking about here, there’s enough of them out there that people will continue working on it, as I said bad actor companies or bad actor countries, and I can’t even imagine what countries might do that, including the United States for all honesty.

I was thinking about other countries, but I have to be honest about this and I have to say that the United States has not at all been upstanding about the way that they use technology, and everything right now in fact, I was just reading about The Tick Tock ban and how that might actually be utilized to uh, take our data from things like doorbells and other supposedly private sorts of data, so all of this, you know, makes it look really bad and there are a lot of Bad actors out there, both companies and countries, and in my mind the ideal situation because you just can’t, it’s just not going to happen if one country, for example and Robert Scoble tweeted this morning, and I responded to his tweet, he said you know, should the U.S pause AI development for six months?

And I said no, because other places won’t, and this for better or worse, it’s an arms race and what we are in right now is an an AI arms race, and if we fall behind then it’s, you know, a significant, perhaps society changing fall behind at this point.

So in my mind the opposite option is better and that is to release this to as many companies as possible so that no individual companies or individual people or individual countries have the power to themselves. Distributing this widely seems like the most positive aspect that we can go for at this point.”

.

“…and of course here we get into the commercial rub which is that a lot of these companies Microsoft included since they are the the proud owners of Open AI now whatever you know they’re they’re very very much in bed with Open AI, but anyway I’m sure that behind the scenes there’s a lot of dollar signs in their eyes, and they’re thinking to themselves, wow we could end up making a ton of money off of this stuff if we play it right.

And then you’ve got Google who has literally had a red alert series of meetings back in December I think it was after they realized just how amazing chat GPT 3.5 was, and you know they’re also working really really hard on their Bard software, and Meta is working on something, and I’m sure there are companies in China that are doing the same thing and competing, so you know, you’ve got these companies that are competing radically for market share and that’s all they care about.

And they’re going to throw caution to the wind, so again in an ideal world everybody would just stop and take a breath and they’d say okay we’re going to start up again in 2024, but the problem is if everybody signs a letter of agreement, somebody is going to keep working on it, and so at this point they’re not going to stop, and and so again I just just my humble opinion I believe that at this point the best option is to give it to everybody.”

Exactly.

It’s apparent in the face, particularly the eye.

This is the one area where AI or CGI loses me every time. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and all AI-generated images are soulless.

I think that most AI now is a kind of “corrupt copied / mimicked human group intelligence”, and that it’s filled with all the dysfunction of the crowd.

Good description.

Fabricated beyond doubt.

The eye looks all wrong to me.

Also, the outline of the camel, particularly the humps and the top side of the neck, appears to have ‘edge enhancement’, which is an artifact often seen in poorly done video transfers on DVD or blu-ray, so presumably it is an artifact that can occur in photo manipulation.

It gives the camel the appearance of being superimposed on the background, with the feet then covered up by photo manipulation of the underbrush.

‘Sabrina the Teenaged Witch’ Star Reveals How She Helped Students During Nashville School Shooting | The Gateway Pundit

In an emotional video released Tuesday, actress Melissa Joan Hart was still reeling from the impact of a chance encounter with children fleeing from the Nashville school attacked Monday.

Six people, including three children, were killed after a shooter entered The Covenant School and picked off targets until police responded and killed Audrey Hale.

In a video posted to her Instagram account, the former star of “Sabrina the Teenaged Witch” explained that she and her husband were passing the school en route to the school their children attend at the time of the shooting.

………….

Hart noted that she and her family had lived in Connecticut near the community of Newtown, which was the site of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“So this is our second experience with a school shooting with our kids being in close proximity. Luckily, we are all OK,” she said.

YIKES! They’re all “crisis actors” – even the self-appointed ones!!!

I thought this was really wierd. Too much coincidence.

My first thought was why the little kids (kindergarteners ) were being led through the woods and crossing a 4 lane boulevard. Seems like there would be a set emergency route to a safe spot.
That said, a shooting is a different animal than most emergencies planned for

Maybe the way they were supposed to go was blocked. I thought that was pretty far too, esp for 5 yr olds.

5yo’s are bundles of energy. No biggee in my mind.

gil00

Make it like a game and maybe ok for them.

kalbokalbs

Yea. Can’t plan every eventuality, including umpteen shooter variations.

ADULT assessed the situation. Gotta go somewhere…S A F E…direction. Traffic WILL stop. Adult holds there hand up. Traffic stops. Proceed.

Exactly as it should have gone.

As was LE entering the school with an active shooter.

Responsible adults used their heads. Acted accordingly.

Entertaining, with a gotcha.

How Hard Work Destroys Character
I read this one yesterday. It sounds to me like every man I ever knew who was about to be middle-aged, suddenly realizing he hadn’t yet climbed Mount Everest or become an astronaut, and he never would.

Normal life, i.e. hard work to survive, should be celebrated and revered. The Amish are a wonderful example of generational achievement based in hard, simple labor. Nothing fancy, just work.

Our society is generating ridiculous expectations for what makes a life worthwhile, and what makes a human worthy.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Hollywood hero characters and movies hugely assist setting the false expectations!

True!
