The Worst Idea Joe Biden’s Ever Had

President Joe Biden wants all Pentagon vehicles to be electric by 2030 – in just six years and seven months. America’s fearless leader previewed this policy on Earth Day 2022.

“We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle,” Biden said in Seattle that April 22. “I mean it.”

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm just reiterated this objective.

I guess they didn’t get the memo that the American consumer has rejected said vehicles. Other than the woke virtue signalers, that is.

GAGGED: For the first time in U.S. history, a judge has ruled that a Republican candidate for president can’t refute claims leaked by Democrat prosecutors. President Biden is free to make any claim he wishes publicly and Trump cannot respond.

They keep pushing and persecuting Trump. I think things could get very bad, though of course I hope that doesn’t happen. But they are desperate and don’t even try to pretend they care about the rule of law anymore.

I do not have the link any more but a Bankster said there is now NO WAY to undo the ethanol mandate. Too many of the elite/banksters are making $$$ from the scam.

Facts about king Corn: by The National Family Farm Coalition

Note: In 2006, Archer Daniels-Midland owned 25 per cent of US bioethanol refining capacity.
Source: Chaturvedi, Sachin (2006).

The size of the global seed market is estimated to be close to US$21 billion and the top ten companies’ shares compose more than 51 per cent of the total market.85 Leading seed companies have a keen interest in production and marketing of pesticides. These companies control close to 70 per cent of the US$28 billion agrochemical market.86 Monsanto and DuPont alone now control 90 per cent of the corn seed market in the United States and 70 per cent of the Asian corn market, which are major energy crops in the region. Monsanto alone covers the market share of 59 to 97 per cent of GM crops, including GM soybean (91 per cent), GM maize (97 per cent), GM cotton (64 per cent) and GM canola (59 per cent)….

Furthermore, since the race is on for the identification of new varieties for better oil yields, there is a good possibility that the issues related to biopiracy may come back on the centre stage. There is a reported case of such a piracy from one of the Indian universities where a company collected germplasm from 18 local varieties of the oil-yielding jatropha plant, including the high-quality pendra variety.87 https://web.archive.org/web/20181002214804/http://www.unapcaem.org/publication/bioenergy.pdf

The Anti ‘Man-Made’ Global Warming Resource

ADM used to call itself “Supermarket to the World.” Today, reflecting its emergence as an alternative-energy supplier, it boasts of being “Resourceful by Nature.” The company created the corn-ethanol industry when Jimmy Carter asked it to in 1978–the oil-shocked President wanted a homegrown alternative to gasoline. ADM now pumps out more than a billion gallons of ethanol per year. While the fuel accounts for just 5% of the company’s $36 billion in annual sales, analysts estimate that it generates 23% of ADM’s operating profit. Says Allen Andreas, the courtly 62-year-old CEO: “We’ve always been feeding people and looking for better alternatives; now we’re doing the same thing in energy.”

In September, ADM announced a nearly 50% expansion project, or 500 million new gallons of annual production capacity. Archrival Cargill is belatedly ramping up ethanol production, and new entrants are using private capital to build ethanol plants. The only publicly traded pure-play ethanol maker, Pacific Ethanol of Fresno, plans to build five plants in California and has raised a total of $111 million, including $84 million from Bill Gates. (For a guide to playing the ethanol boom, see Investing.) All told, the planned projects represent a nearly $2.6 billion investment and will increase U.S. ethanol capacity by 40%.

Other major players are making long-term ethanol bets. Ford is working with VeraSun, a startup in South Dakota, to promote E85 fueling stations. Shell is the primary backer of Canada’s Iogen, which is attempting the first large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol–the kind made from cornstalks and grasses–at a pilot plant in Ottawa (see following story, “Biorefinery Breakthrough”). Exxon Mobil has pledged $100 million to Stanford University for research into alternative fuels. The oil giant’s new CEO, Rex Tillerson, visited the campus last year to hear what researchers are cooking up. Biology professor Chris Sommerville says the change in the industry is palpable: “I went to six scientific conferences on biofuels last year; the previous 29 years I didn’t go to any.”…

His conversion to energy investing is part of a Silicon Valley trend, as VCs seek the rapid growth and giant markets that computers once offered. VantagePoint Venture Partners in San Bruno, for instance, established a fund called New Energy Capital that invests in ethanol, wind power, and other energy projects. Nth Power, a San Francisco energy-investment firm, estimates that $700 million of the $21 billion flowing into venture funds last year were earmarked for “clean technology” startups….Besides Vinod Khosla, Bill Gates is also investing in Pacific Ethanol. But that only means they recognize a good business opportunity when they see one, and not that they necessarily think the science of corn ethanol is good.

For a businessman, it would be difficult not to invest in a business that is propped up by mandates, tax credits, and subsidies. Those three things guarantee a positive return on investment, even if corn-based ethanol is not sustainable without foreign fossil fuels.

Archer Daniels Midland, the largest U.S. ethanol producer, is planning to open a biodiesel plant in Indonesia with Wilmar International Ltd. this year and a wholly owned biodiesel plant in Brazil before July, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. The Brazil plant is expected to be the nation’s largest, the paper said. Worldwide, the company projects a

Scott it is a LAW so it has to be rescinded by congress, unfortunately.

ERRRrrrr it is ETHANOL (grain alcohol) METHANOL is wood alcohol.

And yes, using corn (and grains) to make fuel for cars is STUPID. However POTUS Trump does have to play politics to some extent.

This is the upside:

Grain alcohol is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C2H5OH. DISTILLERS GRAIN is a co-product of the ethanol production process and is high in protein and fiber. It makes an ideal livestock feed.

COVID Tests Declared Unsafe, Mass Recall Issued
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/covid-tests-declared-unsafe-mass-recall-issued/

by Jack Davis, The Western Journal

May. 8, 2023
“One brand of at-home COVID-19 test is being recalled amid a warning from the Food and Drug Administration that the test could lead to a bacterial infection.
SD Biosensor, Inc. Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests, distributed by Roche Diagnostics should be thrown out, according to a new release on the FDA’s website, which lists 44 affected lot numbers.

The FDA reported that about 500,000 tests were distributed to CVS Health. Another 16,000 tests were distributed to Amazon. The FDA said it is not clear how many units were sold.

None of the tests that have been recalled were distributed by the federal government through COVID.gov/tests – Free at-home COVID-19 tests or any other testing program, the FDA said.

— U.S. FDA Recalls (@FDArecalls) May 5, 2023

.

The FDA warning said that anyone who bought a kit that has the affected lot numbers listed on the FDA website should throw the entire kit in the trash. The FDA warns against exposure to a liquid solution in the kit and said that if contact takes place between the liquid and either skin or eyes, the point of contact should be flushed with water.
Conservatives Are Looking For Ways To Boycott and Move Spending Away From Woke Corporations — Here Is One Way To Do It

The liquid in the affected lots has been contaminated with organisms such as Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Serratia species of bacteria.
Although the liquid is in a tube in the kits, contact is possible while using the kit.
The FDA wanted that infection from the bacteria “may cause illness in people with weakened immune systems or those with direct exposure to the contaminated liquid solution through standard handling, accidental spills, or misuse of the product.”

That’s not all, the FDA said. Test results may also be inaccurate.

The FDA warned that both false negative tests, in which the person has COVID-19 but it is not detected, and false positives, in which an individual does not have COVID-19 but is shown on the test to be infected, are possible.”

If you think that’s bad, think of the millions that were likely contaminated with coronavirus!

I never used one!

1st, I suspected that most of them were made by chyna.

2nd, if chyna released the virus, why should anyone trust chyneez test kits?

3rd, the test was notoriously unreliable.

4th, anything the gov’t pushes that hard is automatically suspect

5th, it looked horribly uncomfortable to have a large q-tip jammed up your nose.

6th, there was no reason for a foreign object to penetrate any part of the body, when a saliva spit test would do the job. That spit-tests were only available in Australia, and not available for export, was (again) automatically suspect.

7th, there was no way in this world that I was going to allow any foreign object, with who knows what on it, to enter my nose or be RUBBED UP AGAINST THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER.

UPDATE: Kari Lake Lawsuit Going Back to Trial May 17, 18, 19 – Attorney Kurt Olsen Makes BOMBSHELL Claim of “Extraordinary Findings of Misconduct” By Maricopa County (VIDEO)

Kari Lake and her attorneys appeared in a Maricopa County Superior Court status conference earlier today outlining the schedule for the remanded fraudulent signature verification claim.

Judge Peter Thompson previously dismissed the lawsuit on Christmas Eve, despite the evidence of massive voter disenfranchisement targeting Republicans and obviously false trial testimony by County Elections officials.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in Lake’s favor and remanded the “erroneous[ly]” dismissed signature verification fraud count back to the trial court for further review; however, Maricopa County still refuses to allow her legal team or We The People AZ Alliance to review ballot affidavit signatures from the 2022 Election…

Kari Lake attorney Kurt Olsen today made a bombshell claim while asking for the reconsideration of counts relating to machine failures on election day, stating that “Maricopa officials conducted secret testing on the tabulators on October 14th, 17th, and 18th” after the County’s Logic and Accuracy tests. Olsen further stated that “260 of those 446 tabulators failed” but were “then used in the election.”

Maricopa County’s Logic and Accuracy(L&A) tests were performed on October 11, 2022.

According to the Elections Procedures Manual, “counties may, in their discretion, conduct additional pre-election L&A tests prior to the county’s and Secretary of State’s pre-election L&A test and/or additional post- election L&A tests after the county’s post-election L&A test, including with participation from representatives of the recognized political parties. If the County conducted further testing after their L&A test without party representatives and public notice, this would likely be illegal.

Carrying a round in chamber saved my life.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/carrying-a-round-in-chamber-saved-my-life/

This is an interesting interview, by Colion Noir, of someone who was caught in a situation where he had to use his firearm. The interviewee had seen a video by Noir about the importance of having a round in the chamber, and he started carrying that way, and he credits it with saving his life.

The description of the event happens in the first part, and then the conversation continues about how different the guy says the real-life scenario is from all the training he has done. He says he is known to be a very good shot, but he was 10 feet away and missed half his shots.

Things turned out okay for the guy, but at about 28:00 he says he talked way too much while being questioned by the police, without an attorney. (“Don’t talk to the police!”)

They also talk about the importance of training to shoot from the hip.

Reminds me of my early tae-kwon-do classes, where I was taught that the number one way of avoiding injury when a fight breaks out is to be elsewhere.

The standard plural in English of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek, and the Greek plural form octopodes is still occasionally used. The plural form octopi is mistakenly formed according to rules for Latin plurals, and is therefore incorrect.

The graphic relates to the 2020 “Pradhan et at.” paper that was withdrawn.
Here’s a copy of the original paper (it has “WITHDRAWN” on every page):

http://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1.full.pdf
“Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019 n-CoV spike protein to HIV-1gp120 and Gag”

IMO, Pradhan and the co-authors were getting perhaps “a little too close for comfort” regarding inserts being deliberately placed in the original Wuhan Hu1 (COVID-19) virus code. While there ** may ** have been some errors in the methodology or other technical aspects of the paper, IMO, “TPTB” simply couldn’t let the paper stand. So, the process was initated to get it withdrawn. \

What IS known now is that not only was the original lab-created Wuhan Hu1 (COVID-19) virus code a mixture of all kinds of things from lab experiments on animals — and, IMO, the mRNA-based COVID-19 “vaccines” that have the original Wuhan Hu1 virus code in the formulation most likely have the inserts in them also.

Thank you, RDS. The HIV inserts are Very Damning evidence of the psychopaths’ diabolical plotting. It’s a wonder that you could still find the paper given its withdrawn status!

So to answer the last question in the first story out of the box this morning. Story being “The Latest Details on the Epstein/Mawell Saga” and the last question poised in the story being “whose going to be arrested next?”, it appears we received the answer.

Oh what fun. Turns out it was an investor advocate Pete Flaherty, chairman and CEO of the National Legal and Policy Center, who was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing by police in Omaha, Nebraska, even though his name was on the list of attendees for the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting and he was arrested while speaking in his 3 minute authorized time slot.

Guy was taken off to jail where he spent three hours before he could make a 2,500 dollar bail.

Oh what fun! Lets see what happened.

Investor Arrested After Criticizing Warren Buffett’s Funding For Bill Gates’ Woke Philanthropy And Ties To Jeffrey Epstein

Flaherty: I am Peter Flaherty, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center. If we had an independent chair, the company [Berkshire Hathaway] would be less identified with Mr. Buffett’s political activities.

He’s donated tens of billions to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As Bill Gates explained when the couple was still together, “although the foundation bears our names, basically half our resources have come from Warren Buffett.”

If woke culture is a disease, then philanthropy is the virus. The Gates Foundation bankrolls the teaching of critical race theory around the country, including that math is inherently racist.

The Gates Foundation offers a Gender Identity Toolbox which asserts that gender is the result of “socially and culturally constructed ideas.” This is a lie. Gender is not a cultural construct. It is a genetic and biological fact.

[At this point, a Berkshire Hathaway employee interrupts.]

Flaherty: You are not going to censor what I say, Ma’am. I’m very sorry. And I appeal to the chair that I be allowed to continue. Sir?

Buffett: You may continue, but under the three-minute limitation.

Flaherty: Of course. 

We know how much Bill Gates cares about children. He met and traveled with Jeffrey Epstein many times after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes. The Gates Foundation had a huge influence over the COVID response fiasco.

Bill Gates defended China’s COVID policies and still discounts the possibility that the virus originated from a lab [in Wuhan, China], even though U.S. intelligence agencies disagree.

The Gates Foundation may be the largest single donor to the dark money machine known as Arabella [Advisors.]

[Buffett gestures from the stage and makes inaudible comments.] 

Flaherty: It funds causes like defunding the police that are making American cities unlivable. Money goes, too, to groups conducting— 

[Flaherty’s microphone is cut at the 2:04 mark; the rest is inaudible.]

https://conservativeplaybook.com/2023/05/08/investor-arrested-after-criticizing-warren-buffetts-funding-for-bill-gates-woke-philanthropy-and-ties-to-jeffrey-epstein/

Anyway, thought it refreshing, especially with Buffet in attendance.

Police Identify Suspect Accused Of Mowing Over 18 People Near Border; Has Extensive Criminal Record

Initially they were reporting this guys name as being Garcia (same last name as shooter) also.

There was this vid

https://twitter.com/TrueTXProject/status/1655328753910702082?s=20

In this vid, it appears that he does not have any tattoos on his chest or upper torso.

However I just saw a vid of when he was handcuffed and sat in the road and the tats are indeed visible. That was like 5 minutes ago. So I go back to add it to this post and now it is deleted and I’m seeing other vids that have been deleted too.

It appears as if someone is still working over time to cover up this guys gang status.

Aubergine

I think in that video, the tatts are there, it’s just blurry. Sort of grayed out. If he wasn’t Hispanic, I’d think he had chest hair.

gil00

Typical illegal. Speeding, ran a red light, crashed and ran. So hows he paying for that rangerover? Zero information on that. No job info, address info, family? His priors arent surprising but big gaps here and covering the tats is suspicious. Likely another cartel employee of the month.

Community Gathers To Mourn at Shooting Scene
By Josh Carter – Staff Writer

A community left reeling from a mass shooting on Saturday has come together to remember the victims lost and injured in Allen, Texas.

The best way to treat emotional trauma is with compassion, not lectures on gun control.

Which means he purchased his guns illegally and may mean the Army just like the Airforce had been in the Southerland Springs Church shooting may be on the hook for not getting is mental health info into the system. I’m sure we’ll hear more about it, but for all the moar violence the dems have planned for us.

michaelh

Nextdoor has been lit up, predictably. Most of the posts aren’t stupid – thank goodness, but there are plenty of attention seekers using it as a soapbox for pushing their gun control agenda without compassion for families who haven’t even had funerals to mourn for their losses.

One post in particular emphasized the need to deal with trauma written by a survivor of a prior shooting – including a lengthy discussion of addressing trauma with children and with first responders. “Be patient. Offer Love. Offer support. Give grace. Show compassion.” Despite an appeal that “the reason for this post is not to cause political conversation or arguments” some people take it as time to sound off, but thankfully that was a minority.

Dallas Police Department is the Latest Victim of a Ransomware Attack

https://blog.knowbe4.com/dallas-police-department-ransomware

comment image

Unfortunately ransomware attacks have taken another victim. The City of Dallas recently confirmed that their police department suffered a ransomware attack. This attack shutdown essential services along with some 911 dispatch systems.

This was announced in a statement by the city in a press release. “Wednesday morning, the City’s security monitoring tools notified our Security Operations Center (SOC) that a likely ransomware attack had been launched within our environment. Subsequently, the City has confirmed that a number of servers have been compromised with ransomware, impacting several functional areas, including the Dallas Police Department Website.”

This attack could be a serious risk to the people of Dallas – with crucial services such as police, ambulance service and court proceedings possibly affected. Details of where the attack vector originated from are still unclear. 

While ransomware attacks are costly to organizations in nature, they can be prevented. End-user education, such as new-school security awareness training, can ensure your employees are actively reporting any suspicious activity online.

InfoSecurity Magazine has the full story

TradeBait2

From the ‘half the banks are insolvent’ link above:

“The Treasury and the FDIC are still in the denial phase. They blame the failures on reckless lending, bad management, and over-reliance on foot-loose uninsured depositors by a handful of banks. This has a familiar ring. “They said the same thing when Bear Stearns went down in 2008. Everything was going to be alright,” said Prof Seru.”

Yes and no, Professor. Unlike you, I was actually there. The current parts of the BIMD story gives readers a snapshot. That evil people who are part of the coup against humanity say everything will be alright should be revealing today.

Spoiler alert.

Bear was clueless about where they were headed because they did not heed scriptural principles. The rank and file of government were also clueless for the same reasons. The evil doers knew that and took advantage. We the People in Tea Party form were splintered and unorganized as a resistance force. We were fed bullshiz, which stalled American resistance for a time. That led to Soetoro and more brainwashing and deeper pools of bullshiz.

Things are different now. Cankles never got in the seat. PDT happened.

It is a system of controlled implosion utilized by globalists to gain control of dirt and power. If you control the dirt, you control the people. Reference the oft repeated image SD uses of where the elites live and work versus the peasants. That image is spot on.

The rest I will leave for my story.

Communists are secretly Capitalists!

Communist grifters love making LOTS of COLD HARD CASH

Including convincing YOU that magically they – NOT the VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM – need reparations!

UT-Austin paid Angela Davis $25,000 for speech bashing capitalism
DAVID GLASSER – FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY •MAY 8, 2023

https://www.thecollegefix.com/ut-austin-speech-features-angela-davis-bashing-capitalism-calling-u-s-racist/

‘The real reason slavery was abolished was because it was no longer of service to capitalism,’ Davis said

A prominent racial activist was paid $25,000 for her recent keynote address at the University of Texas at Austin. During her speech, Angela Davis bashed capitalism as exploitative and called the murder of Tyre Nichols by black police officers “systemic racism.”

Davis, the vice presidential nominee for the Communist Party USA in 1980 who was previously on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, was the keynote speaker at UT-Austin’s Eric Williams Memorial Lecture on April 4.

Davis, who supports reparations, started the lecture by promoting the theory that slavery in the West did not end because of Enlightenment-era ideas about liberty and equality, but because industrial capitalists wished to engage in more pernicious racial exploitation.

Gail Combs

‘The real reason slavery was abolished was because it was no longer of service to capitalism,’ Davis said

….

ERRRrrrr No it was thanks to James Watt and other inventors who were substituting MECHANICAL ENERGY for the energy from slaves.

What Was the Industrial Revolution?

The Industrial Revolution was a period of major mechanization and innovation that began in Great Britain during the mid-18th century and early 19th century and later spread throughout much of the world. The British Industrial Revolution was dominated by the exploitation of coal and iron.

The American Industrial Revolution, sometimes referred to as the Second Industrial Revolution, began in the 1870s and continued through World War II. The era saw the mechanization of agriculture and manufacturing and the introduction of new modes of transportation including steamships, the automobile, and airplanes..

It was in the 1830’s that you had the reaper, threshing machine, and iron faced interchangable plow invented. These were hitched to animals. Before that, to produce 100 bushels of wheat from 5 acres of land people used a walking plow, brush harrow, hand broadcast of seed, and a sickle, and flail for harvesting by hand.

Corn Picker

In 1850, Edmund Quincy invented the corn picker.

Cotton Gin

The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked. Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14, 1794.

The first cotton harvester was patented in the U.S. in 1850..

Hay Cultivation

Until the middle of the 19th century, hay was cut by hand with sickles and scythes. In the 1860s early cutting devices were developed that resembled those on reapers and binders; from these came the modern array of fully mechanical mowers, crushers, windrowers, field choppers, balers, and machines for pelletizing or wafering in the field.

The stationary baler or hay press was invented in the 1850’s…

PSALMS 145:10-13, 21

10All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee! 11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, 12to make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of thy kingdom. 13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds. 21My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

JOHN 14:27-31

27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. 30I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; 31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence.

The only thing in my yard that may be that old is a rhubarb plant. We dug out a piece to share with a friend of mine a couple of years ago, and the offshoot root we cut off was the size of my upper thigh! The main root was like a big tree.

The house was built in the mid-1890s, so there is no knowing how long the rhubarb may have been there. It is really good; it is never bitter, even late in the summer.

You know, I used to hate it. I didn’t grow up with rhubarb, and then when I moved to Montana everybody ate it. And I tried other people’s dishes many times, and I just didn’t like the taste.

Then I read in a very old cookbook to add vinegar to rhubarb pie! I wanted to try it, but all I had was balsamic vinegar, so I added a teaspoon to the pie filling. It was SO good! Now I love rhubarb pies, crisps, everything, as long as I add that balsamic!

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.

I am minded of reading “The Underground History of American Education” by John Taylor Gatto.

While reading it I felt like I was lying in front of an oncoming steamroller with no way to move out of its way. Or in one of those horror movies where no matter how fast you run, somehow the slow moving monster catches up to you.

Indeed. I heard years ago about the math textbooks for primary/secondary that were full of enviro activism but thin on math.

But even in our day science education had flaws. Stupidity or malice? not sure to be honest, neither would surprise me.

Teaching science to elmentary schoolers as a series of disconnected “units,” “this week we’re going to talk about stars, next week it will be atoms” just reduces what science has learned (even in broad outline) about the world to a bunch of incoherent trivia, a mass of stuff to be memorized for no reason. Although nods are made to teaching the scientific method, it’s just reduced to a formula. You get dinged for not following the boilerplate.

He also specifically disagrees with Chelsea Clinton’s call to have as many children as possible “vaccinated’ in the next 18 months. it appears that Ms. Clinton is working with the WHO, the Bill Gates Foundation, “and others” on this scheme.

Aubergine

I have to say, I agree with this article. I was very disappointed by Kari Lake’s recent position that the culture war is not the thing to focus on in 2024. Doesn’t she understand the politics is downstream from culture? Can’t she see that we have to win the war against the perverts and deviants to regain enough of our status in the world to effect change in it? Does she not know that the people of the world won’t respect a country in moral chaos enough to follow our lead? Very disappointing to me. It seems “politics as usual” has claimed another promising leader.

“The more obvious it becomes that our domestic political struggles are in fact part of a much larger spiritual war over the fate of western civilization, that we are today engaged not so much in a political fight as a religious battle between good and evil, the stronger the urge seems to be among Republican politicians to deny this reality and take refuge in the comforting political narratives of the past.

A perfect case in point was a tweet last week from Kari Lake’s permanent campaign, which managed in one fell swoop to channel the deeply misguided political analysis of the entire neocon Washington establishment: “No one is saying not to fight the culture war. But it’s simply not the most critical issue heading into 2024.”

“The GOP must show the country how it plans to turn the economy around & prevent World War 3,” she added. “We need to take this country back from @JoeBiden before we can take our culture back from his friends.”

Ah, yes. The comforting fiction that if we can just show voters how we plan to turn the economy around, surely then we’ll regain power, surely then we’ll have a mandate from the people — and then (and only then) we can “take our culture back.””

Gail Combs

Actually, I think Kari is correct.

WHY? Because the DemonRats WANT the fight to be about the culture war. They have ALWAYS wanted it to be about the culture war because CONSERVATIVES ALWAYS LOSE THAT WAR.

WHAT the Communists use to take over a country are protests, riots, being the squeeky wheel making demands.

Think about it:

Blacks are 14.5% of the US population
LBGT are 3.8% of the US population
Hermaphrodites are 1.7% of the US population
Muslims 0.9% of the US population
Hindu 0.7% of the US population (Never hear much from them do you?)
Buddhist 0.7% of the US population (Never hear much from them either)

AND the whites wimp out because that is what they are TAUGHT.

Russell described how he saw the communist tradecraft:

The way they worked their way to the seizure of power was as follows: Talk about peace, talk about social equality, especially among those most oppressed. Talk about organization of labor, and penetrate into every labor union. Talk on soapboxes. Publish pamphlets and papers. Orate and harangue. Play on envy. Arouse jealousy. Separate class from class. Try to break down the democratic processes from within. Accustom the people to picketing, strikes, mass meetings. Constantly attack the leaders in every way possible so that the people will lose confidence. Then in time of national peril, during a war, on the occasion of a great disaster, or of a general strike, walk into the capital and seize the power. A well-organized minority can work wonders

This is the crap our citizens have been indoctrinated with for a hundred years. You can not do a frontal attack.

BUT
You can address the Economy
You can address the invasion on the southern Border
You can even address the poisoning of Americans by Big Pharma, although I would leave that to Robert Kennedy Jr.

Once in control you can THEN address the SOURCE of our current culture war — PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION! Change Education and you CHANGE the culture.

I just wrote about the history of Progressive Education.

I think it is up to us to do the ‘Culture War’ The Mamma Bears and Poppa Bears in school board meetings, town councils and making irate calls to politicians.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/some-miscellaneous-but-salient-observations-about-the-war-in-ukraine/

One final note on the report that Russia destroyed a NATO command center in March:

Several Twitter and Telegram posts, totaling hundreds of thousands of views in late March 2023, purported that a NATO HQ in Ukraine was destroyed, with “up to 300 people” killed in the strike.

“A terrifying strike of the Russian supersonic missile ‘Dagger’ at a depth of 130 meters on the NATO command center in Ukraine!”: Greek Pronews writes about the huge losses among NATO officers as a result of the missile attack,” one post read:

“A terrifying strike of the Russian supersonic missile “Dagger” at a depth of 130 meters on the NATO command center in Ukraine!”: Greek Pronews writes about the huge losses among NATO officers as a result of the missile attack.

Mark this down as an important development — Newsweek finally got something right. There is no way that the West could hide the deaths of dozens of NATO senior officers. Once again, apply the social media test. I have seen zero evidence of grieving widows, parents and friends mourning dead NATO Generals, Colonels or Majors via posts on social media channels. Not one. I have checked with friends who still have access to intelligence information and they have seen no reports on such casualties from that one strike.

As I write this it is 5:30 am in Moscow and Kiev on May 9. There are no reports corroborating stepped up Ukrainian attacks. However, the Russian bombs and missile strikes continue to fall on Ukrainian positions. That is the reality hampering Ukraine’s ability to mount its counter offensive.

Following the link about the NATO Command Center
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-nato-ukraine-command-center-strike-kinzhal-missile-1791805
Interesting. Says quite a few American Officers were killed, but claims are still unverified.
Tweet out of Greece sums it up.

tweet in full

“A terrifying strike of the Russian supersonic missile “Dagger” at a depth of 130 meters on the NATO command center in Ukraine!”: Greek Pronews writes about the huge losses among NATO officers as a result of the missile attack.

“The Russian hypersonic missile “Kinzhal” managed to hit the joint Ukrainian-NATO control and communications center, installed at a depth of 130 meters. The underground headquarters housed NATO officials and reportedly housed over 300 people. Most of them are British and Poles, but there were also Americans and representatives of private companies that support communications and data transmission. This is the first massive strike against NATO personnel and it is not known how Western capitals will react. It will be the same as recognizing the active participation of personnel in the war against Russia. In the coming days, it will be seen to what extent this will affect the conduct of Ukrainian and Western operations and attempts to stop the Russian offensive on Bakhmut” http://t.me/vicktop55/14120

Seriously, are we supposed to believe that an underground command center as described isn’t classified at the highest level? We don’t even allow our special operators to tell their spouses where they are going yet somehow there would be a hit like that and immediately the spouses would be told?

What a bunch of crap. Russia took out a command center and we can’t do anything about it. Or even talk about it. A couple more hits like this and the money flow will stop. The chief beggar of the world might find his way to the table.

HOLY MOLY BATMAN!!!

Atty. Tom Renz: “The COVID-19 Murder for Money Scheme in the Hospitals… Have Been Carried Out by Fake Doctors and Nurses”

On Saturday, anti-corruption attorney Thomas Renz in Ohio made headlines by suggesting that fake doctors and nurses may have been behind the COVID-19 murder-for-money scheme in hospitals.

“DEVELOPING: This is the most important developing story in the country. The COVID-19 murder for money scheme in the hospitals appears, in many cases, to have been carried out by fake doctors and nurses,” Renz wrote on Twitter.

His statement follows the arrest of over two dozen people by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with a plan to sell fake nursing degrees and transcripts from legitimate institutions.

“The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) and our law enforcement partners launched a multi-state coordinated law enforcement action to apprehend individuals engaged in a scheme to sell false and fraudulent nursing degree diplomas and transcripts,” according to the news release….

May 6th I will have MAJOR news on this from Renz Law and http://TomRenz.com on this soon.

Renz — Missouri House Testimony – BioTech Admits Gate’s GMO Factory Food IS a Gene Therapy

#5 The biotech lobbyists admitted that GMO food like the type Bill Gates wants to manufacture in factories WILL actually alter your genetic code!!!

.

.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

Biotech lobbyists in Missouri opposed to the HB1169 Gene Therapy Disclosure & Informed Consent Bill ADMIT that GMO food like the type Bill Gates is pushing to manufacture in factories WILL alter your genetics – ARE THESE FOODS GOING TO BE THE NEXT mRNA VACCINES?

HB1169 in Missouri would require disclosure of any product that would produce impacts on the human body similar to a gene therapy drug as well as requiring informed consent disclosure to include all risks and benefits – including adverse events of special interest. The language of the bill can be found at https://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills231/hlrbillspdf/2467H.01I.pdf. Naturally, big Pharma and their associates oppose disclosure and informed consent.

During official testimony in the Missouri House on the bill the lobbyists for BioTech and WashU (I believe) in Missouri went on record to admit that GMO foods do in fact impact people’s genetic code. They actually opposed the bill on the basis that this law would require them to admit that all of their GMO products ARE in fact impacting people’s genetic code. There was no discussion as to how substantial the impact was or what studies were being done to ensure these modifications were not causing long-term health effects.

This SHOCKING admission is critical in light of the Gates Foundation/WEF push to begin producing all meats and dairy products in factories. If a basic GMO food can cause modification of our genome what could an entirely manufactured food do? Further, do we trust the same people to ensure these products are safe and effective that told us the COVID vaccines would stay in the injection site, have minimal side effects, and prevent the spread of COVID despite admitting to the European Union that they never studied the vaccine’s ability to stem the spread of COVID?

Also in this testimony Renz was able to include discuss the DMED data, DoD involvement with the development of COVID, the DoD involvement with the COVID vaccines, and MUCH more.

Steve Cortes, former Trump advisor, supports DeSantis for president. I know he has appeared on Bannon frequently, and I wonder what Bannon thinks about this.

https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-president-opinion-1798976

Governor Ron DeSantis represents the best possible option to win the presidency in 2024 and to govern as a highly capable, patriotic populist leader.

I have worked as a dedicated spokesman and advocate for Donald Trump for much of the last seven years, so I do not arrive at that conclusion flippantly. But our America First movement has always been bigger and more important than any one individual, and heading into this crucial election, our activism and our votes must be guided by a clear-eyed assessment of recent failures and potential future successes.

His three reasons are mind-numbingly ignorant, IMO. I hope he gets reamed out on social media.

1. We’ve seen this Biden-Trump movie already—and no one likes it.

2. There is no substitute for victory.

3. Discipline and policy results over chaos.

Jury finds Trump DID sexually abuse E. Jean Carroll in Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s: Ex-President is cleared of rape but ordered to pay her $5m damages

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12065045/Jury-finds-Donald-Trump-sexually-abused-E-Jean-Carroll.html

gil00

The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her when he called her a liar, ordering the former President to pay $5million in damages. 
But they ruled after just three hours of deliberation that the evidence did not show that the former president had raped her. 
Carroll bowed her head as the verdict in the battery allegation was read out. As the defamation verdict was read she bowed it again, nodding in agreement. Afterwards she stood up and shook hands with Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina.
In a fiery post to Trump’s social media app Truth Social he wrote in all caps, ‘I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!’
Carroll left court beaming from ear to ear without making a statement to the media.

If she’s nuts she may actually believe it.

A lie detector test, even if perfect, can only detect a lie, which is to say a statement the person believes not to be true. The statement itself could still be false, with the person believing otherwise.

One of the most infamous characters in modern history is Henry Kissinger. His musings and policy recommendations have shaped much of the Western world today, warts and all; and there are many warts. Population control, nuclear proliferation, Middle East wars, de-pegging of the USD from gold, the rise of China, the impending collapse of the West and so much more can all trace their roots back to Henry Kissinger….

At the end the Colonel says there are a lot of Dems who agree with Repubs on major issues, and we have to put aside minor differences and work on those things. I’m not arguing against his statement, but I’m trying to think of something the Dems agree with MAGA Repubs on. Maybe rank and file Dems want the border secure, a handle on the national debt, men out of women’s sports, solid policing, etc., but they keep electing radicals to Congress. And we can’t work with those people; IMO, they have proven to be enemies of the country who are destroying it and its founding principles. But someone like Trump was able to bring out the best in (some) people and get some things done. We have to have strong leadership on our side.

He makes a good point for something to watch out for. When they say a problem is global, and the onliy solution is global, you know it’s a scam. We know this, but i hadn’t heard it worded like that before.

When something is presented as “the science,” you know it is a scam. And you know something is a scam when dissent is suppressed.

So:
1.”Global problem” = scam
2.”Settled science” = scam
3.Suppressed dissent = scam

The New York Post reported:

They [the jury] also needed to determine whether Trump, 76, defamed Carroll when he publicly denied her allegations, claimed he had never met her and accusing her of making up the story for political reasons and to help push her book sales.

This seems like a violation of the First Amendment. You get accused, you proclaim your innocence, and you strike back verbally at the accuser, and you can be punished for that. That quells speech. It’s outrageous and ridiculous. But that’s what they’re going to continue to do against Trump.

Small point on this, (small only in that is so distant in the past). The person presenting this first map from the tweet is being misleading at best. The Muslims never held that land for the full 800 years as is being claimed. The map portrays the max extent of the Muslim invasion lands they were able to hold after Charles Martel defeated them in the Battle of Tours and forced them back into Spain. As you can see the situation stayed fluid from almost the beginning.

comment image

The Reconquista of Al-Andalus by Castilian and Aragonese kings got started after that as shown in the second tweet map.

With all that said though, the Muslims did bring with them much of the knowledge (continuing knowledge in some areas) lost to the West after the first fall of Constantinople to the Crusading Armies primarily in the form of literature in all genres.

The aisles are a lot wider. It seems that the banks of display racks are “thinner” in design — the display shelves are somewhat shallow.
Inventory — brands of items, like bottled water, that one saw even a couple of years ago, are no longer there. Looks like a decision was made at HQ to cut down on the number of brands of items for sale.
Greeting cards — prices appear to be way higher than before.
Only one check-out person at the front. Most of the former checkout-stations are gone, now being used to display “grab and go” items like candy, snacks, etc.

I just heard a few sentences of Frank Gaffney on Bannon. He says Chinese nationals are crossing our borders with “kits” of some kind and that if/when China decides to attack the U.S., they will have a fifth column of soldiers in our country to do Xi’s bidding.

AMEN. Donkey Coms are SICK, SICK, SICK.

Heh.

I got a Dell/Wyse 5070 thin-client off of Woot a couple of months ago for about $80.

It’s a locked-down little box meant to be deployed by the dozens throughout an enterprise, running things like POS terminals.

I started messing with it yesterday. It came with a proprietary OS with no shell and no way to add functionality.

Now it’s running Ubuntu 22.04.2 off a thumbdrive. Soon, that’s all it will want to run…..

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Good job!!!

cthulhu

It started out trying to run Wyse [there’s a blast from the past] ThinOS, which is supposedly Linux-based but has pieces of BSD inside, including the bootloader. It got me to this lovely splash screen of a Northern California river flowing through redwoods. From there, I could read system information and not much else — it wouldn’t recognize a USB DVD drive I attached (with an Ubuntu boot disc).

Their description is: “Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant, and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures. ThinOS based thin clients are self-managed, go from power-on to fully productive in seconds, and with no published API, locally accessible file system or browser, require no local McAfee Anti-Virus software or firewall to protect against viruses or malware.”

F12 was supposed to let me choose my boot drive. It had (a) local drive, (b) IP4 local network, or (c) IP6 local network. When I tried to choose the USB drive through “add device”, I got garbage that it wouldn’t let me select.

Doing some research, I discovered that Dell enterprise hardware accessed BIOS by hitting F2 during the (brief) display of the Dell logo on boot. I then was asked for a password. Further online research determined that the default BIOS password was “Fireport”.

There were settings in the BIOS for allowing boot from a USB device, so I twiddled same and rebooted. It went immediately to the river. I then tried a power down and F12 select boot on power on, and it still didn’t like the DVD drive. At this point, I went away and sulked for a bit.

I then went back to the drawing board and loaded a USB stick with Ventoy — a really cool utility that allows you to load the stick with ISOs of bootable disks and boot off of them (without burning to an actual disk). It is under active development (1.0.91 is 4/5/23 — https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/tag/v1.0.91 — and they are serious about making it work everywhere for everything). I loaded it with 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04.2 and replaced the DVD connection with the thumbdrive.

Ka-ching!!! I was in. I opened Mozilla to ensure that networking worked (note — I’m usually paranoid about ensuring a firewall is up before touching the internet….but not in this case. The system was running off a read-only ISO — you’d have to encounter quite the malware to crack into that.

I’m doing a nice, long cogitate before I let the Ubuntu installer rip into the thing. Might I ever want to put it back? What if it bricks halfway through? Can I do a backup before continuing? I have time now, because I’ve cracked the nut — anything from here can use the regular Linux toolkit.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Sounds great – and a typical hardware multiple “hack-around” to get Linux onto it.

cthulhu

One does have a certain feeling of satisfaction — especially when their press blurb says it’s indestructible and I got the unit with no documentation.

And I have to admit that the possibilities inherent in multiple small machines with at least 1 gigabit ethernet port and 2 USB 3.x ports keep me amused. Just as an example, let’s say you wanted to backup system A onto tinysystem B. The straightforward way would be to create a read/write account on B and let A put its backup on B. But what if you create a read-only account on A, and let B read original files from A? When you get a ransomware infection, which one is more likely to get spoiled backups?

Valerie Curren

You make me wish that I understood all this better & had taken some computer courses back in the day…glad you are keeping your saddle on what sounds like a bucking bronco to me 🙂

cthulhu

The thing is, computer courses wouldn’t necessarily help you.

What fascinates me is that we have people who are used to engines the size of locomotives, and having someone suggest that they’ll have an engine on a little thing you can push around your yard to cut your grass.

Yeah, it’d be cool to know how the engines worked — but the real action is seeing how things that are cheaper and smaller can change the way people use things.

Something like 60% of malware is browser exploits, and 30% is email exploits. If you can have cheap little computers that don’t have browsers or email, isn’t there a major security improvement when you let them do critical things, like backups?

Valerie Curren

That’s very interesting & sounds reasonable.

Protests across Pakistan after former PM Imran Khan arrested

Published On 9 May 2023

Updated: 

8 hours ago

Police have fired water cannon and tear gas to quell protests that erupted in several cities across Pakistan hours after former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested in connection with a corruption case.

Thousands of Khan’s supporters took to the streets on Tuesday in the capital Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and other cities to protest against his arrest.

At least one worker for Khan’s party was killed in Quetta, Shireen Mazari, former minister and senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party told media.

In Islamabad, hundreds of PTI activists blocked the main Kashmir Highway, which suspended traffic on either side of the road.

Reporting from Islamabad, Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder said “a precarious situation” is developing following Khan’s arrest.

“As the reports of Imran Khan’s arrest went across the country, protesters [took] to the streets and arrests are being made,” Hyder said. “There is considerable anger as far as Imran Khan’s supporters are concerned and the situation is escalating by the hour.”

Hyder added that officials anticipated the protests and have warned the public against participating in them.

“The inspector general of Islamabad police has said that anybody coming out to protest should be arrested,” he said.

Local broadcaster Geo News reported that police have arrested over a dozen of PTI workers after the two sides clashed at several points in the city.

“We will block the entire country and protest until Khan is released,” Waseem Qayyum, a protester, told dpa news agency.

Intel Slava Z update:

Interesting things are happening in Pakistan. While we were all sleeping or celebrating Victory Day, it turns out that the former prime minister was arrested there, which caused mass protests among the population, among whom Imran Khan was very popular. According to a number of media outlets (the information is still being specified), almost all military bases in Pakistan were attacked, and the army command fled the country. As noted by a number of Orientalists, the Asian-style Maidan can lead to destructive consequences in the region, moreover, Pakistan is a nuclear power, which, moreover, has tense relations with neighboring India.
