Stunning poll on COVID vaccine-refusers and Ukraine war

On the surface, the personal decision not to receive an experimental vaccine would seem to have no correlation with 80% or more opposition to escalation of the conflict by their home country. But dig a millimeter deeper and I think the common factor is pretty obvious. These are people who are skeptical of massive propaganda campaigns pushed by the combined forces of government and corporate establishments. Henningsen describes himself as “a fierce critic of MSM propaganda.”

ZEPHANIAH 3:14-18

14Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! 15The LORD has taken away the judgments against you, he has cast out your enemies. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall fear evil no more. 16On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. 17The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing 18as on a day of festival. “I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it.

ISAIAH 12:2-6

2“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” 3With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name; make known his deeds among the nations, proclaim that his name is exalted. 5“Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. 6Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”

LUKE 1:39-56

39In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, 40and she entered the house of Zechari’ah and greeted Elizabeth. 41And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. 45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” 46And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; 49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, 52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.” 56And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.

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.

Thank you, DePat, for another heapin’ helpin’ of content!

Hope your knee is better.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Not as hard as porcelain tile!

Gail Combs

Both take a toll on old knees. That is why I have the kneeling pads. You can also get kneepads that either slip on or tie on. Used to use them when I caved.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The straps on my kneepads raised blood blisters.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes – very painful. OUCH! I learned to wear thick jeans and constantly fiddle with the location of the straps, while keeping them flat, to avoid any pinching. Knock on wood, that’s still working.

cthulhu

I found that the more comfortable the actual pads were, the worse I hated the straps.

WSB

Get grandchildren to do it.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

LOL!!!

Gail Combs

I used the slip-on but you had to be careful that they were sized correctly.

pgroup2

Harbor Freight has them. Lots of laborers use them.

para59r

I keep several pieces of carboard cut from the top of boxes for such a purpose. Use one to kneel on and one to move to. Faster than buckling on or pulling up knee pads, both types I have, but the carboard is easily mobile and work every bit as well.

Now the wife is mediaeval asian and she works the garden like this for prolonged periods. Her knees never touch the ground.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Very cool!

Gail Combs

Well I just used the garden kneeling pad to change my pony’s bandage and it was SOOOooo much more comfortable.

Why am I, the one who faints at the sight of blood, the one who gets to do the bandaging. My friend has taken nursing classes and she could not do a fast neat job.🙄 And hubby is hopeless.

I will say I MUCH prefer a cut on the straight part of the leg. Trying to bandage the heel is a mess!

The FBI as advanced persistent threat – and what to do about it
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you
Rupert Goodwins
Tue 30 May 2023 // 09:58 UTC

https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/30/column/

OPINION The best device to reduce road deaths, suggested economist Gordon Tulloch, would be a large steel spike in the center of every car’s steering wheel. Focuses the mind.

The IT security equivalent is an “Assume This Device Is Tapped” sticker on every phone, tablet and computer. Absent that, the best we can do is pay attention when those with legal access to all our data abuse those powers and help themselves.

Consider a repeat offender: the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Last week, the FBI was caught using its power to hoover up communications without a warrant, ostensibly to monitor foreign threats, to plunder the privacy of many thousands of US citizens whose revulsion at a brutal killing of a Black man by white cops marked them as activists.

This is nothing new. Search for “FBI abuse of powers” – replacing FBI with other state agencies to taste – and you’ll be scrolling for a year. It’s actually quite cheering that democracies still have safeguards to bring this stuff to light, and yet it keeps happening. If you live in a part of the world where such protection is diluted or absent, you won’t need telling how bad it can get.

Leaving aside the ethics, legality and politics, it’s important to make a practical evaluation of state agencies as advanced persistent threats in the communications stack. Spies are gonna spy. It’s also important to consider the whole threat matrix, and to identify the most effective way to minimize risk as an ordinary user. What can you do to protect against undue surveillance while keeping the utility of your devices?

. . .

cthulhu

One important consideration is to know who your “friends” are. When cellphone providers, ISP’s, and credit card companies freely hand over information to rogue government entities without a warrant….they may be taking your money and actively working against you.

Aubergine

If I’m saying something I think the feds might be interested in within sight of my phone, I talk to them:

“Hi, federal agent listening in. Hope you are enjoying this.”

I had no idea. They got rid of my favorite. Tom sawyers island and the rafts. Everything gone really.

Well, they still have rafts and an island. A lot of the stuff that used to be there was removed at the insistence of insurance companies.

gil00

Yeah. They took the fun out.

My uncle climbed “Castle Rock” and replaced the flag there with the flag of Santa Monica High School.

Nowadays in the time of CRT in schools, he’d probably climb up there to take it down.

Heck the IDJITS want to put SEAT BELTS on the saddles of pony rides….

Ponies are known for bloating so the cinch can not be fully tightened. (I tighten 3 times and the little buggers STILL out wit me sometimes.)

Now imagine a child tied to a saddle that has slipped under the belly of the pony…
AND THE PONY GOES BANANAS!

And yeah it happened.

New Jersey had such a law BTW.

This happened to me years ago.

I wiped the dust off of myself and got back on.

“Ever” is a long time, and it would be better if you took him than he went with a random group.

But you’d sure want to be certain that he had a well-seated sense of skepticism.

Better to not go at all, to Disneyland.

All of their woke BS. Promoting freaks and their behavior.

While I have plenty of beef with the current Corporation, Management, and Board of Directors, I’m afraid I’m sort of stuck regarding the park. My grandfather worked on the original audio wiring for the Golden Horseshoe Revue, and my family grew up around the place.

There is a certain mind-bending architecture to the place — a totally created reality — which was inspired by Walt Disney himself and brought to life by his Imagineers. A classic story has a guest saying, in reference to The Pirates of the Caribbean, “it’s a pity that Walt never got to see it.” (He died midway through its construction.) The reply was, “of course, Walt got to see it! — how the heck do you think it got here?”

It is now wildly expensive, and too much woke, and some of the best parts are aging. But it is something to be seen, enjoyed, and studied. It shows what you can do with a bunch of orange groves if you set your mind to it.

kalbokalbs

Yep. Good with Disney as it was in the past. Incredible, it was.

cthulhu

….and much cheaper, too!

Gail Combs

Went to the one in Florida back in the day. Took some of my hillbilly friends who had never even seen the ocean.

No kids but It was really fun to watch their eyes bug out at the wonders.

gil00

Adventureland and new orleans square were always my fave. Theyve developed all the big back lot now too…no horse stables anymore…picnic grounds…etc. i may not recognize it.

cthulhu

A famous example of Walt Disney pragmatism —

https://dizbuff.com/disneyland-red-and-white-light-bulb/

He could have made ’em tear it out and build it again with an even number of bulbs.

cthulhu

There are things you can do at Disneyland that go beyond the normal rides.

There are currently five locomotives on the Disneyland Railroad —

  1. C. K. Holliday — 4-4-0 (American)
  2. E. P. Ripley — 4-4-0 (American)
  3. Fred Gurley — 2-4-4T (Boston)
  4. Ernest S. Marsh — 2-4-0 (Porter)
  5. Ward Kimball — 2-4-4T (Boston)

The latter three were originally built as commercial narrow-gauge locomotives by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The first two, by contrast, were never “real” locomotives. They are actually scaled-UP narrow-gauge versions of scaled-DOWN 7-1/4″-gauge hobby locomotives — the C. K. Holliday in particular was a larger version of Disney’s personal Lilly Belle. This, BTW, makes ’em a particular pain-in-the-neck to maintain.

The 7-1/4″-gauge versions of the Holliday and Ripley didn’t have sufficient room for a human being to fit within the cab, so were actually operated while sitting on the tender. The less-miniaturized model engines in use today continue to have seats on the tender, even though a fireman and engineer ride within the cab.

If, when the park opens, you don’t run down to the hub for the rope drop, you can go to the Main Street Station and ask the Station Master which trains are running that day. If the Holliday or Ripley (or both) are running, you can ask the Station Master to see if you could ride the tender around the Park.

There is a lot going on in this interaction, and it will be helpful if you get it right. First, the apron for walking along the train is only long enough to reach the locomotive at Main Street — you cannot get on or off at any other stop. Second, the Station Master has no control over trains — he is responsible for the station and people there. Third, while Firemen and Engineers have active and fun roles to play in running a train, it is the Conductor who is responsible for the business of the train — and ultimately it is his decision. That said, he’d be a fool if he didn’t consult his Fireman and Engineer to ensure they are in the mood. So you’re asking the Station Master to ask the Conductor on your behalf to check with the Fireman and Engineer to see if they are in the mood to have you along. If you get on, be sure to thank everyone appropriately — mind you, if they were hostile to the concept, they’d likely be working somewhere else.

If your train isn’t the next one, you can also polish your credentials as a train buff by asking the Station Master if you can run out on the apron and get glamor shots of the lantern or builder’s plaque for the other locomotives while they’re in the station. You may have to wait for your selected train to come all the way around, which is only about 20 minutes.

This can be a very costly experience in other places, but at Disneyland you have to show up and ask.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Railroad

kalbokalbs

Good on ya.

Endless great “Kiddo” things to do up and down the Sierra’s. <<< Affordable.

Guessing, Disneyland starts at $100 and up per person. Toss in food. Maybe souvenir(s). In my world, too damn expensive.

Besides, I always like reading Disney is losing money, laying off, or whatever their well earned woes are.

cthulhu

All this is true, but the actual physical Disneyland can teach you more tricks than a semester at college — and it’s best to soak it in and go “wow!” first, and then be shown how the trick works.

As an example, Main Street seems to go on a long ways….but it’s fairly quick to walk. That comes from forced perspective. The ground floor of Main Street is subtly miniaturized — I believe it’s 7/8 scale — while the upper floor (which you never visit) is at, IIRC, 5/8 scale. As a result, all the buildings look much taller, and the street looks much longer. Similar distortions are used on the castle and the Matterhorn.

Walt insisted that important sight lines in the Park have what he called “weenies” at their ends, to give patrons a reason to move in those directions. As you walk from land to land, you will note that the pavement changes — from wagon ruts and horseshoe prints in Frontierland to cobblestones in Fantasyland.

You may hear the term “audio-animatronics” — this is a way of syncing robotic motions to specific times and audio cues. It is based on the way that analog audio was originally put on the edges of movie film in the form of little squiggles.

And, then, you hit the mind-blowing Omnimover, best used in Adventure Through Inner Space (defunct) and The Haunted Mansion. When you get into a “Doom Buggy”, it appears to be a six-foot tall shell with a seat. As it turns out, it actually extends below the floor almost as far as it does above. As you go through the ride, the Doom Buggy will swivel right and left, tilt backward, and the safety bar will open and close. This is not done with electronics. Instead, there are separate tracks under the floor for each of the vehicle’s motions. A follower wheel from the vehicle extends to the track, and mechanical linkages translate the wheel’s motions to motions of the above-the-floor vehicle.

So many things in Disneyland inspired me to do so many things as an adult. I might not have become SCUBA certified if it weren’t for the submarine ride. We might not have traveled to exotic tropical destinations were we not inspired by the Tiki Room. I wouldn’t be as much of a train nut if it weren’t for the Disneyland Railroad. Even things like knowing what well-painted ironwork was supposed to look like….

But they can take Nick the Fairy Godmother and shove it.

I was one time in Disney because my husband had a meeting in California. My daughter and husband came from Nev. They all wanted to go to Disney I could care less and found it very artificial. Do not like the rides food bad over priced . My brain does not work that way I rather would have been in a Museum, or Botanical Garden, or take antique house tour, or take a hike in the woods. So I am not fun 🙂

Gail Combs

Make that three of us! We could have a lot of fun. 😜

Cuppa Covfefe

We’d go to Knott’s Berry Farm back in they day, and Camp Snoopy. Cheaper, cleaner, more family-oriented, and also fun.

We took our son to Disneyland ONCE, just to check the box, as it were, and even he said it wasn’t worth the money. He did spend a lot of time on Autopia after he got bored with everything else.

First time I went there was in 1955, right after it opened, and maybe a couple of times after that as my aunt and uncle and cousins lived there. But that was in the days of ABCD and E tickets without the flat fee at the front, and you could enter and not go on any rides at all if that was your thing, and it wouldn’t cost anything (few people did that, but older folks did, especially the grands who couldn’t do the rides physically)…

I honestly don’t know how people can justify the enormous outlay required for such a relatively small benefit, and now all the alphabetsoup crap on top of that. Pinoccio and GayPaedo indeed….

Gail Combs

I also thought Disney was not a very good ROI. We did other more fun less expensive stuff when we were in Florida with our friends. We were moving Hubby’s aunt down to her sister’s home and wanted another set of drivers. One for the moving truck and one for our pickup for the drive back.

Since we were there we decided to see the sights.

gil00

Knotts is in the middle of a total gut and remodel of Fiesta Village. Shut the whole thing down til later this summer. Redoing Log Ride too. Theyre putting a full service sit down mex restaurant in the fiesta village.

Cuppa Covfefe

Hope they keep the legendary Fried Chicken Restaurant… and the Boysenberry Pies IIRC…

Then again, fried chicken is probably RAYYYYCIIISSSSSSS…. sigh…

Gail Combs

SOUTHERN!

Its been remodelled a couple yrs ago. Not as good as it used to be. They put out a recipe book of all the ones you’d like. You can order online…but i cant find fresh or frozen boysenberries anywhere.

Try marionberries.

gil00

Theres an idea. My boysenberries are not at production ready age yet.

cthulhu
gil00

Boysenberries w the raspberry-ness are so good. Ill see how those taste.

cthulhu

If you’re growing boysenberries of your own, you need not find a “forever-berry” — just one that will tide you over until your own come in.

gil00

Ok. Im surprised i cant find anything but raspberries and sometimes blackberries. None of the others and certainly no ollaliberries.

cthulhu

Even in Farmers’ Markets?

Are all of them Driscoll’s?

gil00

All the fruit is driscolls. I dont go to farmers msrkets down here much. Its not like up there. A lot of the same vendors at them and not so much produce variety.

Aubergine

Yeah we could!

Gail Combs

I wish I still had my pair of driving horses so we could go on a nice picnic drive.

I paid my legal fees with a couple outings for my lawyer and his family. They loved it.

One trip was to a restaurant in New Hampshire. We could go most of the way by dirt roads and then unhitch and tie the horses with hay bags to keep them busy while we had dinner.

Aubergine

That would be so awesome!

Gail Combs

Oh it was. The lawyer said there was no way he could BUY the adventures we gave his family.

We also spent a week on Mount Desert Island. It has over 100 miles of carriage roads. (Arcadia National Park)

Ain’t barter great?

Aubergine

kalbokalbs

Along the lines of why I frequently post, Eastern Sierra’s, a GREAT playground. Hundreds of miles.

Pure, simple fun. Not to mention relaxing… Stunning beauty…

Gail Combs

The USA has some very very good parks and forests. I did a lot of horseback riding in town forests. The ATV guys and I did a lot of the up keep on the trails for the town.

Aubergine

Nice!

gil00

Disney is higher than 100! I just did a quick shopping cart for a Monday in July. 3 tix and parking for a 1 day pass to Disneyland only(no CA Adventure) is $582.00. Add your food and souvenirs and its easily another 200. I read a hot dog is 12.00.
No, cannot afford that anyway.

Cuppa Covfefe

Probably only the Gay TINKS can afford that (two incomes no kids)…..

Those prices are obscene. So many better ways to spend $800+, on fun stuff.

Regarding DeSantaClaus not having an answer for why he’s not waiting until 2028 to run, he has placed himself in a precarious political position by running against Trump. The stock answer to “Why are you running now?” would be that the current administration is killing the country, but also that your opponents can’t get the job done…which means saying you think you could do a better job than Trump. The more DeSedative says that, the more he turns off MAGA voters that he desperately needs.

I don’t think he has fire in his belly for this campaign, which makes me think he was talked into it, which is a political miscalculation so huge, and such a strong indication that he is owned, that I would question his judgment as president. (Not that I would consider him for POTUS anyway.)

Just after he left the navy he wrote another book.

From WIKI:

He left active military duty in 2010. DeSantis was first elected to Congress in 2012.

He has written two books; Dreams From Our Founding Fathers: First Principles in the Age of Obama was published before his first campaign for Congress in 2011, and The Courage to Be Free was published in 2023 before his presidential campaign.

Benny Johnson:

🚨TARGET IN TOTAL RETREAT🚨

A whistleblower sent me an exclusive internal Target memo ORDERING the deconstruction of the Groomer “Pride” section ACROSS stores.

I went to the Target we reported from last week to check. I was shocked at what we found.

The Pride display signage is GONE. Groomer items GONE. Satanic designer items GONE. Sex cult children’s books GONE. Tuck swimsuits GONE. Baby clothes GONE. Child mannequins GONE. And much, much more.

This is the power we have to protect our children. We should use it more often. Onward.

Here is the memo. It’s not clear to me exactly what it means, but it seems that something is happening.

Benny Johnson:

After we exposed Target for using kids mannequins to sell “pride” merch & other sexualized items a whistleblower sent us this internal Target guidance ordering the REMOVAL of kids mannequins, groomer/satanic swag & DISMANTLING the Pride display in children’s section.

It doesn’t matter what Target does at this point; I will not be shopping there. I just want as much of a clawback on the LGBTQWHATEVER agenda as possible.

They need to say they were wrong about so many things, but they won’t because I guess it would ruin their social credit score and anger the “pride community.” But even if they did say all the right things and fired all the right people, I would not trust them.

For years I would get the heebie jeebies the infrequent times wifey wanted to get something from Tar-gay. Even well before the restroom and debit card fiascos. Something just felt off.

Now, wifey is even, “Aw, hail no!” about going. So we had lunch today at a restaurant we love that shares a parking lot with one. The restaurant was packed. Tar-gay’s parking lot was half filled compared to normal. Oh well…

The once or twice I went to Target, it was ‘whats the deal? I had ZERO desire to ever go back.

I appreciate this guy’s message, from the open:

A homosexual who says the “pride” flag does not represent him. He’s with Operations for Gays Against Groomers and says the American flag represents him. He also says, “Stop indoctinating children.”

If you fall for this headfake, then you’re in serious need of psych classes.

He’s queer, and he wants to be ‘normalized’ into straight society.

I can’t believe Seb Gorka isn’t smart enough to spot this con game.

Oh, I get it. It’s kind of a throwback to what they originally said they wanted. Now things have gone way too far and it’s making them look bad. But I like any pushback on the trans agenda and the indoctrination of children.

Rep. Gaetz to Newsmax: McCarthy Can Be Ousted for Using Dem Votes
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/matt-gaetz-debt-kevin-mccarthy/2023/05/30/id/1121737/

(emphasis mine)

The House could pass the debt-ceiling deal agreed to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden, but it might ultimately cost McCarthy his job if he has to have Democrat votes to do it, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., warned Tuesday on Newsmax.

“The operative question there is whether or not the speaker can get to a majority of the majority,” Gaetz told Tuesday’s “The Chris Salcedo Show.” “If a majority of Republicans are against a piece of legislation, and you use Democrats to pass it, that would immediately be a black-letter violation of the deal we had with McCarthy to allow his ascent to the speakership, and it would likely trigger an immediate motion to vacate.

“I think Speaker McCarthy knows that. That’s why he’s working hard to make sure that he gets 120, 150, 160 votes.”

Republicans control the House with a 222-213 majority, so, as Gaetz pointed out to host Chris Salcedo, McCarthy needs to whip up at least 112 Republican votes for the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.

“That’s a key number because according to the concessions that Speaker McCarthy made in January, he can only bring legislation to the floor if a majority of the majority is going to support it,” Gaetz told Salcedo. “Right now, that may be in question. The first test for Speaker McCarthy is the Rules Committee. That’s a committee where we’ve got folks who are very dead set against this bill like Chip Roy and Ralph Norman.

“So will Democrats on the Rules Committee cross over and give Speaker McCarthy what he needs to get the bill to the floor? And then will 112 Republicans indicate that they’re going to vote for it?

“We cannot pass bills with a majority of the Republicans in opposition, so if folks are against this, they should reach out to their member of Congress and have their voice heard.”

Gaetz is a hard no, but he was also a hard no on the previously GOP-passed House deal to raise the debt ceiling.

“I am not going to vote for this bill,” Gaetz said. “I think that it doesn’t put sufficient downward pressure on spending…

It requires just one “motion to vacate” McCarthy as speaker, spiraling the House back into a search for speaker that ultimately required 15 rounds of voting to pick McCarthy in January.

kalbokalbs

Let the search begin. Kevin was a crappy option.

BTW. Where are the promised J6 tapes? Promise was just a pacifier or sorts.

“Trump Can’t Win if He Talks About Rigged Elections” is the King of All Lies (substack.com) https://substack.com/@realskeshel

When revisiting 2020, that traumatic, nation-altering year, it is impossible to miss the signs that the corrupt bureaucratic state and its media allies were preparing for something big. We were led to voluntarily destroy our own economy, rip our kids out of the normalcies of their childhoods, abide by illegally instituted election procedures done on the fly, and practice arbitrary standards of social distancing, which didn’t matter if you were seated in a restaurant or attending a BLM rally.

These ominous signs gave the impression that the 2020 election would be a third world disaster, even before it happened. President Trump warned months before that the election would be rigged but was constantly thwarted in state after state when his teams challenged executive fiat instituting mail voting and other cheat mechanisms. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, under fire for pushing back against the takeover of the Lone Star State, was also aware of the election-rigging of 2020, suing successfully a dozen times to combat open sabotage of Texas’s elections.

By alluding beforehand to the 2020 election being rigged, men like Trump and Paxton accurately identified the unfair advantage sought by Democrats that, in a close race, could have flipped key states to Biden and cost Trump re-election. No one, Trump included, expected the incumbent to garner 74 million votes, a gain of 11 million from the previous election, and still be outrun by rampant cheating. It had never been done before. In case you’re new to my writing, President Trump thus became the first incumbent president since Grover Cleveland in 1888 to gain votes from the previous election and lose. Three campaigns since that time (Franklin Roosevelt twice, and then Obama) lost votes from previous election and won.

That brings me to the heart of the matter: President Trump did not “lose” re-election because he complained about rigged electionsIf that were the case, he would not have gained 11 million votes and satisfied every meaningful trend, indicator, bellwether, and predictor in place for more than a century that, together, point to an emphatic re-election win.

Now, what do we hear today from the mainstream commentariat and, lately, the Conservative, Inc., wannabe statesmen?

Trump can’t win if he pushes the “rigged election” narrative because it will alienate an electorate that doesn’t care about that issue.

No, morons, it will not. The reason candidates like President Trump or Kari Lake have been “losing” lately is because those seeking to preserve the current order, that of a global bureaucracy hellbent on keeping the world engaged in endless wars, realigning the global economy via corrupt trade agreements, and pitting citizens against one another by instigating racial, cultural, and social strife of various kinds have perfected election manipulation.

………..

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again here: there is no political future for Americans without a return to clean, transparent, and trustworthy elections. This, for the time being, is a Constitutional Republic, one that has stood longer than any in the history of the world. It is based upon liberty and justice for all, and a government of, by, and for the people. It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference if a Republican or Democrat resides in the White House if that president didn’t punch his ticket there by the will of the people, as commanded by their votes.

DeSantis, along with Trump’s other primary challengers, refuses to give a clear opinion on the 2020 election when pressed, but in referring to his own credentials over Trump’s, alludes to Trump’s supposed inability to be re-elected in 2020, tacitly affirming the conduct of that election. I haven’t heard a word from any of these challengers about Kari Lake’s ongoing lawfare against the corrupt Arizona cartel, though the evidence is radioactive even when she has the smallest windows available to make her cases.

I hope there are people outside of my bubble reading this article. It is not intended to be a hit piece against any candidate, especially DeSantis, but is designed to have the reader understand that the people have lost complete control over this experiment in self-governance if our elections are pre-determined, or if our candidate selections have entered a pact to refuse to discuss corrupt elections. If your candidate is allowed into office for not discussing the election corruption issue, is he a candidate seeking office to do the will of the people? Would you want him in office if he were allowed to win based on not holding an opinion that would expose monumental corruption across the country?

This Fourth Turning crisis is going to determine if it is indeed the people who control this country or not, or if for the sake of “our team” winning a given office, we will consent to back candidates who are pre-approved to hold office because they won’t talk about the forbidden items, which are not strictly limited to elections. Remember, Kari Lake wanted to cut the throats of the cartels destroying the lives of everyday Americans, and she paid the price by being put on the outside looking in (for now).

Personally, I am sick of hearing from candidates who tell me their local GOP cautioned them against discussing cheating in elections, even in rampant mail-in and ballot harvesting states, because it would somehow cost them their races, which they of course lost even after trying to play nice.  Here is a newsflash: You are losing your races because the other team is cheating and using your kindness against you. Last year, I endorsed a 23-year-old political neophyte from Maine named Reagan Paul, who was running for State House. Her state party didn’t care for her positions on election manipulation as she ran in a truly purple district on fixing election fraud and on a personhood amendment for the unborn…and won. She has been one of the boldest voices for liberty that can be found in an otherwise dark region of our country and had more guts than every professional politician in the state who was afraid her boldness would cost what they perceived to be a difficult seat to win. Instead, boldness took away a seat the Democrats expected to win going away.

Fortune favors the bold. That proverb was true when it was first penned in 151 B.C. and remains true to this day. People don’t want to support those who are timid and refuse to lead, like Greg Abbott, who has been in office too long to care anymore that his state is being overrun by illegal aliens and cartels, or that his Attorney General was impeached by a Republican House full of Bush lackeys and controlled opposition. They want to support leaders who exhibit moral authority and want to make the same legacy for citizens of today as the founders sought to make for theirs, and posterity.

The fight for election integrity is the only political fight that matters right now. As long as our solutions are political, which history suggests remains the case only for a limited window of time, we can have the best positions on life, borders, energy, taxation, crime, or education, and none of them matter for a hill of beans if we are not permitted to have our candidates elected because elections are corrupt.

Our entire national political future hinges on getting this issue right.

eilert

My comment on the 11 million votes increase for Trump, which nobody points out, including Trump:

In percentage terms this is an increase of whopping 17% from his first election and he supposedly still lost.
If this percentage increase instead of the 11 millions is emphasized, far more people would have been skeptical of that election and willing to do something about it.

More disturbing news about what’s possibly in the shot and it’s cancer connection.

https://discernreport.com/green-monkey-dna-found-in-covid-19-shots/

RDS

Thank you for bringing this. It appears to be further confirmation of something that has been discussed on this board — the inclusion of SV40 in the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
The green monkey’s original habitat was in northern West Africa — areas like Senegal and Gambia. The animal then was brought to the Cape Verde islands, then to areas of the Caribbean (St. Kitts, etc.) for colonization.
Per the linked article, the investigations of Dr. McKernan and Dr. Bhakdi indicate that ALL of the COVID-19 “vaccines” contain double-stranded DNA — not just the (recently pulled off the market in the U.S.) Johnson & Johnson [Janssen] COVID-19 “vaccine.” This is different from assertions that only single-stranded DNA were used in the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna original COVID-19 “vaccines”, as for example in this article:
http://www.uspharmacist.com/article/covid-19-a-closer-look

by M. Saljoughian, PharmD, PhD
“COVID-19: A Closer Look”

It appears that Ralph Baric at UNC was interested in how African green monkeys respond to SARS-CoV. Here’s a paper of his, from 2009, that was funded by NIAID:

Larry’s Excellent Piece…
 … on uniformity. 

The strength of any army is the principle of uniformity. Here is a Captain Obvious moment — the reason that a military organization sports a uniform is to ensure that troops in the heat of battle can easily identify their fellow fighters. Can you imagine an army that would grant each soldier or sailor or Marine the option to choose their own wardrobe? While you might get some fabulous fashion choices, allowing such diversity would undermine the operational effectiveness of that organization in combat. The concept of uniform in the military extends beyond what men and women wear. How about training? An effective military organization relies on standard operating procedures in order to ensure that even the least mentally competent member of a unit knows the policies, procedures and tactics he or she must perform under stress. One of the critical objectives in basic training is to teach new recruits how to communicate and how to act on orders. If a military organization incorporates different units with different methods of communicating the odds of confusion on the battlefield increase dramatically.

Read the whole thing at Larry’s blog.  

Meanwhile, Russia openly states what Washington wants:

The US has been inciting Ukraine to strike Russian territory, despite claiming the opposite, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said on Wednesday. Antonov argued that Washington’s statements in response to the recent drone raid on the Russian capital “sound like an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists.” “Doesn’t the [US] administration understand that no one believes their slogans about non-support of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory?!” the diplomat said, according to a statement on the embassy’s Telegram channel. Antonov’s remarks came after a White House spokesperson told reporters that “as [a] general matter, we do not support attacks inside of Russia.” The goal of the drone attack was to “sow fear among Russians” and undermine trust in the authorities, he said. “The Russian Federation has been sentenced to ‘capital punishment’ in the [West] long ago. But simply, they don’t have it in them to achieve this goal,” the ambassador stated. 

But read the last, highlighted, phrase by him–exactly, the US is not the same league and Washington knows, or at least begins to recognize it, and, as an axiom goes: terrorism is a weapon of the weak. This is how bluffs are called. In the end, they do not check the credit history in banks for nothing. Where is the US warfare credit history? You know the answer…

Benedict Biden’s Sexual Assault Accuser Tara Reade Just Defected to Russia

Likely feared for her life. Okay, no likely about it and it appears worse. They were coming for her.

“I just didn’t want to walk home and walk into a cage or be killed, which is basically my two choices,” Reade told Sputnik. “[The decision to go to Russia] was very difficult. I’m not an impulsive person. I really take my time and sort of analyze data points. And from what I could see based on the cases and based on what was happening and sort of the push for them to not want me to testify, I felt that while this election is gearing up and there’s so much at stake, I’m almost better off here and just being safe. My dream is to live in both places, but it may be that I only live in this place and that’s okay.”

Yep… and that outfit in the SF Bay Area she worked for, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, KILLED Owens-Illinois Glass Company Plant 20 in Oakland, as well as most of the surrounding industry, eliminating a HUGE tax base for Oakland and other cities, tens of thousands of jobs, and turned Oakland and thereabouts into a hell hole, or some might say a black hole.

And “Direct Democracy”? Isn’t that just a fast path to totalitarian communism… A Germany-Based NGO… I smell the sulfuric cloven hooves of Satan Sauros pounding about…

Uni Leicester leans wide left… from a BBC article in 2021:

A university is facing growing anger over its plans to drop English language and medieval literature modules and introduce a “decolonised curriculum”.

The University of Leicester said it was considering cutting subjects after a “drop in demand”, and instead focusing on ethnicity, sexuality and diversity.

But the idea has been met with dismay by a number of academics and students.

Since the plans were announced, some university staff have also received abusive messages online.

Among those opposed to the changes is Professor Isobel Armstrong, a fellow of the British Academy, who has returned her honorary doctorate from the university in protest.

The Leicester branch of the University and College Union (UCU) said Prof Armstrong made her decision “in protest at the egregious attack on the integrity of English at Leicester and the attempt to eradicate 1,000+ years of language and literature from the curriculum”.

via Larry Johnson’s comment section:

” Actually there is no NATO member with experience of this kind of warfare on a 1000km front. They cannot train soldiers to fight wars the instructors have never fought.

They are learning basics – very basics – and in U.K. are using AK firearms because they cannot clean weapons sufficiently to keep NATO small arms functional.

They are learning close combat or counter-insurgence type stuff Not trench warfare or dodge-the-drone or avoid Whizzbangs

These soldiers are being prepped as small unit abandoned by officers type of clusters with firefly life-expectancy.

No forces in Scandinavia or Canada have real exposure and U.K. has never deployed major forces since 1983 in Falklands which was really a naval expeditionary force

Not even Germany with its deskbound generals has the experience of Manstein and even that would be irrelevant in Russian shape-morphing military organisation from BRG to Division structures and forces like Chechens and Wagner snd Russian Airborne is much heavier armed than in NATO

It is tokenism and a way to embed a few more NATO soldiers into Ukrainian units – I wonder how roll-call works in the Britidh Army with all those „training accidents“ on secondment ?”

One of the top seven Sumerian gods was Samash also known as Utu. He was the sun god and brought light and truth to humans, exposing nefarious affairs and such. It took the liberals a long time to ditch that guy. Not that they weren’t trying. I don’t think they ever gave him a big temple, but he was still one of the all time favorites. I think only his sister surpassed him.

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.

The opening video of the man helping a family of wolves in trouble in Dep Pat’s opener today reminded me of a book I have read many times titled, “In the Shadow of a Rainbow”. It’s about an Indian in British Columbia who got adopted for awhile into a pack of timber wolves.

@BrandonStraka

A new study finds that leftist extremism is linked to psychosis and narcissism. This validates what I have been saying for years- antifa, trantifa, BLM, and other left wing rage mob groups don’t make people violent and crazy… violent and crazy people find approval and a sense of virtuousness for their instincts by joining these groups. We’ll discuss this and lots more in my #WalkAway Wednesday Twitter Space this Wednesday night! See comments below to sign up

THIS IS WHY THE LEFT FOUGHT SO HARD TO EMPTY THE MENTAL INSTITUTIONS UNDER KENNEDY. (1961 – 1963) Once hospitals were emptied the funding was cut for out patient care.

2016 Through Deinstitutionalization, Massachusetts Mental Health Crisis Deepens – Nonprofit Quarterly

With the enactment of Medicaid in 1965, states were strongly encouraged to move mentally ill individuals out of state mental institutions and either back into the community or into nursing homes. This was due in part to ethical reasons… There was monetary encouragement as well, since both community options and nursing home placement are reimbursable services and institutions are not. Further, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1975 that persons with mental illness could not be institutionalized if it could be demonstrated they did not pose a danger to themselves or others..

[As a friend with a bi-polar wife found out it was an up hill legal battle to get a person help they did not want. He gave up and divorced her.)

Unfortunately the severely mentally ill were left in a worse-off situation as these individuals and their families, if they had any, had to figure out how to navigate a fragmented health system with little support. People whose ability to be successful in society is dependent on adherence to regular medication are especially vulnerable. Often, these individuals ended up making frequent emergency room trips or becoming incarcerated….

Although Massachusetts was once a leader in mental health care, over the last five decades numerous administrations have cut funding for services, leading to a steady decline in services available for mentally ill individuals. Recently, the closure of many mental health practices in Massachusetts has left thousands without access to treatment, endangering the patients as well as the public….

We know the jab material crosses the blood brain barrier. We see physical signs of brain disruptions so mental disruption makes sense.

IMO, the ability of the COVID-19 “vaccines” to cross the blood-brain barrier and wreak all kinds of brain damage (physical and emotional-psychological) was / is INTENTIONALLY designed into the formulae of these “vaccines.”

Comment lifted from Andrei’s blog:
———————————————

Multi-millionaire climate doomsday preacher, John Kerry, admits that destruction of the farming industry is essential to achieve ‘Net Zero’:
“Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can’t get to net zero—we don’t get this job done—unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution.”
“You just can’t continue to both warm the planet, while also expecting to feed it. It doesn’t work. So we have to reduce emissions from the food system.”

They no longer pretend, they no longer hide the fact that they want to exterminate us, now they openly declare it, as if it were obvious, and they started from the carbon lie, the biggest bullshit ever invented in living memory, it’s simply about Us or Them .

From my 2012 notes:

25x’25 Vision: By 2025, America’s farms, forests and ranches will provide 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States, while continuing to produce safe, abundant, and affordable food, feed and fiber.

The resolution passed both houses. WUWT has the newest (2012) iteration here.

Press Release // 06/07/2006 // BOLD NEW U.S. ENERGY GOAL UNVEILED ON HILL: 25 PERCENT OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES BY 2025

Bipartisan Proposal has Broad Support from Agriculture and Industry Leaders, Governors, States

A bipartisan group of Senators and Representatives introduced a Congressional resolution today calling for a new national renewable energy goal: 25% of the nation’s energy supply from renewable sources by 2025. The resolution builds on a broad and politically influential coalition including agriculture, industry, and environmental leaders, as well as several governors and state legislatures. http://www.25×25.org/text/xml/2.0//www.infocastinc.com/www.infocastinc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=56

Here is the the actual reality of the situation.

In six of the last seven years, total world grain production has fallen short of use. As a result, world carryover stocks of grain have been drawn down to 57 days of consumption, the lowest level in 34 years. — Briefing before U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chair, June 13, 2007

http://www.earth-policy.org/press_room/C68/senateepw07

A study published in 2007 by two US scholars, Ford Runge and Benjamin Senauer, calculated that biofuel production will cause the doubling of starvation figures in the world: by 2025. They estimate there will be 1.2 billion people starving.http://people.clarkson.edu/~kvisser/hp200/docs/StarveThePoor%3F.pdf

In 2008: “We were criticized for being alarmist at the time,” Mr. Runge said. “I think our views, looking back a year, were probably too conservative.”http://www.nysun.com/news/food-crisis-eclipsing-climate-change

With one-third of world population lacking food security now, FAO estimates that world food production would have to double to provide food security for the 8 billion people projected as world population in 2025.http://equatorialguineaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/GR-Assessment.pdf

About half of the world’s maize (corn) is grown in the United States — http://wwwoa.ees.hokudai.ac.jp/~rocksea/upload/ncert/ncert_XII_fundamentals_human_geography.pdf
yet Congress has signed a resolution requiring 25% of US energy needs to be supplied by our “Working land” (bio-fuels)

An interesting letter to president Bush from the Grain traders who profit from starvation.

July 22, 2008

….Recently there have been increased calls for the development of a U.S. or international grain reserve to provide priority access to food supplies for Humanitarian needs. The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA) strongly advise against this concept and consider it an ill advised response to today’s unprecedented agricultural market situation….

Again, we encourage you to reject calls for the establishment of an international or national grain reserve…

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Kendell Keith, President National Grain and Feed Association

Gary C. Martin, President and CEO North American Export Grain Association

http://www.naega.org/images/pdf/grain_reserves_for_food_aid.pdf

And here is the actual reason for the letter:

Food shortfalls predicted (1/04/2008):

….The world is eating more than it produces and food prices may climb for years because of expansion of farming for fuel and climate change, risking social unrest, experts at the International Food Policy Research Institute concluded in a new report issued last month….

In summary, we have record low grain inventories globally as we move into a new crop year. We have demand growing strongly. Which means that going forward even small crop failures are going to drive grain prices to record levels. As an investor, we continue to find these long term trends – and this niche – very attractive…. http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/dancy/2008/0104.html

GHOULS…

It also explains the massive land grab now going on. You can start with NAFTA removing about 75% of the farmers in Mexico as setting the precedence. — http://www.countercurrents.org/mohanty230608.htm

…Prior to NAFTA, small plots of land were permanently deeded to Mexico’s peasant farmers. In preparation for NAFTA, Mexico was required to change its constitution to allow foreign ownership of this land and allowed these plots to be sold or seized by creditors. In addition, NAFTA opened the door for the dumping of large amounts of subsidized U.S. agricultural goods on the Mexican market –

lowering prices and endangering the livelihood of peasant farmers. For example: Corn is the primary crop in Mexico, but post-NAFTA farmers received 70% less for their harvests…. more than 2 million Mexican farmers have been forced off their land since NAFTA was enacted….

Corporate Rights over People and the Environment

One of the most controversial aspects of NAFTA is found in Chapter 11 – its investor rights chapter. Under Chapter 11, foreign investors who believe their profits are being harmed by environmental or public health regulations can sue governments for cash damages within a secretive trade tribunal system. This occurred when Mexico was sued by the U.S. Metalclad Corporation, a waste-disposal company. Metalclad accused the Mexican government of violating Chapter 11 of NAFTA when the state of San Luis Potosi refused permission to re-open a waste disposal facility. The State Governor ordered the site closed down after a geological audit showed the facility would contaminate the local water supply. The Governor then declared the site part of a 600,000 acre ecological zone. Metalclad claimed that this constituted an act of expropriation and sought millions in compensation. The company won and was awarded $16.5 million (plus interest)

from Mexico….

Study on NAFTA by Tufts Univ. http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/Pubs/rp/NAFTAsUntoldStoriesJune03TW.pdf

The World Trade Organization is NAFTA taken to a worldwide scale. Clinton ratified both treaties. The result was the bankrupting of third world countries’ farmers. 8 million people in India have quit farming, and the spate of farm suicides – the largest sustained wave recorded in history – causes a farmer to suicide every 30 minutes. –http://www.countercurrents.org/sainath130209.htm

October 23, 2008 ….Former President Clinton told a U.N. gathering Thursday that the global food crisis shows “we all blew it, including me,” by treating food crops “like color TVs” instead of as a vital commodity for the world’s poor.

Clinton criticized decades of policymaking by the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and others, encouraged by the U.S., that pressured Africans in particular into dropping government subsidies for fertilizer, improved seed and other farm inputs as a requirement to get aid. Africa’s food self-sufficiency declined and food imports rose. [THINK: National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200]

Now skyrocketing prices in the international grain trade – on average more than doubling between 2006 and early 2008 – have pushed many in poor countries deeper into poverty… http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2008303122_apununfoodcrisis.html.

Two years later another Mia Culpa from the world leaders. Note how they think we forgot all about the first time and the fact they had been warned of the coming problems in 2007, well, actually as early as 1974 — http://www.lifesitenews.com/waronfamily/nssm200/nssm200.pdf

3/20/2010

….world leaders focused on fixing Haiti <b>are admitting for the first time that loosening trade barriers has only exacerbated hunger in Haiti and elsewhere.</b>

They’re led by former U.S. President Bill Clinton – now U.N. special envoy to Haiti – who publicly apologized this month for championing policies that destroyed Haiti’s rice production. Clinton in the mid-1990s encouraged the impoverished country to dramatically cut tariffs on imported U.S. rice.

“It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake,” Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 10. “I had to live everyday with the consequences of the loss of capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people because of what I did; nobody else.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/20/with-cheap-food-imports-h_n_507228.html

After you boot the peasants off the land and brought their governments to near bankruptcy, it is time to move in for the kill….

…..several American universities, including Harvard, Vanderbilt, Spellman, and Iowa universities, are also taking part in or providing funds for the practice that “is resulting in the displacement of small farmers, environmental devastation, water loss and further political instability such as the food riots that preceded the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions,” the reports states.

While the report does not claim the deals break any laws per se, it does strongly insinuate the local population does not reap anything near the promised benefits, whereas the mostly foreign investors in some cases can expect to get up to 25 percent returns….. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-20070234-503543.html

…..

…The scale of such land acquisitions has increased greatly. From 2004 to early 2009, at least 2.5 million hectares were transferred in five African countries alone (IFPRI). Recent estimates point to land acquisitions that each encompass millions of hectares of land. Of concern is that the land leased by African governments to foreign interests was previously occupied by poor local and indigenous populations who have little control over such land transfers…. http://www.brookings.edu/articles/2010/0625_africa_land_aryeetey.aspx

First world farmers are not immune to political backstabbing either.
http://www.westonaprice.org/farm-a-ranch/the-battle-to-save-the-polish-countryside

[Of course now we find the USA it’s self is the target]

…..Over the past few years hedge fund gurus like George Soros, investment powerhouses like BlackRock, and retirement plan giants like TIAA-CREF have begun to plow money into farmland – everywhere from the Midwest to Ukraine to Brazil. Canadian private equity firm AgCapita, which raised $18 million in 2008 to invest in Saskatchewan cropland, estimates that as of the first quarter of 2009, more than $2 billion of private equity money had been raised for farmland investments globally, and another $500 million was planned.

The growing flow of money into farms has persisted despite a major drop in the commodities markets last fall, prompted in part by the global financial crisis. In the spring of 2008 spiking grain prices caused food shortages and rioting in dozens of countries before falling some 50% by December. In fact, that crash has obscured a broader trend. Even after the correction, grain prices remain above their 20-year average, and food stocks around the world are still near 40-year lows….. http://money.cnn.com/2009/06/08/retirement/betting_the_farm.fortune/index.htm

Part of their mental mindfk psyop jui-jitsu.

“We need to stop growing food”

“We don’t have enough food”

“We need to shut down power plants”

“We don’t have enough energy”

Meanwhile,they are just shutting down and competition as they take control of everything

This continual seemingly opposing policy statements get people mentally off-balance as they do not make any sense … until you realize that is exactly what ‘they’ want…

Retribution can’t come soon enough …

Off the topic of your comment but I feel this same off balance game with the republicans. They won’t outright condemn Trump yet it’s plainly obvious that they can’t stand him unless they need an endorsement.

Russia’s new Zircon missiles, which Putin claimed fly at nine times of the speed of sound and have a range of 620 miles, are part of its ongoing effort … He said it will not only target the host countries 👉but field new weapons that will target U.S. decision-making centers.👈

They made that very very clear when the DemonRats and the RINOs ganged up to wipe out the Tea Party.

Was the Tea Party targeted? OH yeah, very definately. First there was The Blair-Rockefeller Poll manipulated to make the Tea Party look ‘racist’ that was referenced in all the leading papers and then there was the Soros Funded ‘Occupy Wall Steet’ Astroturf to drain off the left leaning groups.

Next up was Salem Media, the ‘Voice’ of the Tea Party movement. This from an insider reveals how the citizens were betrayed.

Interview with Kirk Olsen Karrie Lake’s Lawyer. (I have not viewed it yet.)

Interview starts @ 4:15

https://rumble.com/v2qwb1u-why-we-vote-ep-28-tue-500-pm-et-.html

Gail Combs

Her is a bit of it. REMEMBER the varification process ALSO INCLUDES checking the address as well as comparing the signature AND moving back and forth from on screen to another

Looking at the judge’s ruling 10:30 Signature verification happened ‘In Some Fashion’ … 11:50 the lawyer comments one wittness did ACTUAL signature verification and she rejected 15 to 40% of the signatures. She was doing the job correctly and took longer than 3 secs per check. So yes SOME signature verifiers were doing validation correctly. BUT many others were not to the tune of 276,000 ballots (verified under 3 sec)…. 12:30 In order to PROVE our case we had to show NO signature verification took place AT ALL for all 1.3 million ballots. And that is flat wrong…

13:00: Ashe mentions the “No signature verification took place’ language was INSERTED just before the trial took place in the judge’s minute entry.
Question to lawyer: what do you think of the burden of proof that was put on you as far as I can tell by the lower court judge?

Lawyer, Per the state supreme court We had to have a mathematical bases that the election outcome would be different. We had to COUNT the number of ballots that were illegal or signature verification WAS NOT PERFORMED. And we did that.
14:30 I think what you are hearing from Liddy is a CONFLATION of the concept that no signature verification had to take place with the respect to ANY BALLOTS in order for our claim to succeed. And that is just not true. 

What we pled and this was in the original complaint. We did talk about a number of issues where for example, AG Bronovitch in his report to Karen Fann dated april 6th 2022, where he did an investigation, months long. and they saw that 210,000 ballots were reviewed at a rate of 4.6 seconds or less. And he brought out that that was not acceptable and made it wide open to fraud.

15:00 he gets into omre technical stuff.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

That’s a FARCE, to deny abused signature verification and only accept “no” verification.

CARTEL JUSTICE.

Yes, the whole Karri Lake set of trials SHOWS OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS NOW A COMPLETE FARCE!

The DC Jan 6ers treatment ALSO shows our Justice system is a FARCE.

The turning loose of violent offenders WITHOUT BAIL who than go out and MURDER people shows our Justice system is a FARCE.

The last couple of years have been one BIG SHOW CASE OF HOW CORRUPT OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS BECOME.

The Lawyer clarifies:

31:10 …an issue that will be raised on appeal [to the US Supreme Court] You can not have a statue that does not have a standard. And what we argued was, and this is a well recognized concept in the law, that the material terms of a stature SHALL BE GIVEN THEIR ORDINARY MEANING UNLESS THE STATUE EXPRESSLY STATES OTHERWISE.  

And so in this statue SHALL COMPARE. Well go look up Websters, and I did this in closing and we argued it to the court, look at what compare requires look at what the word consistant means and if the signature is inconsistent… And that tells you what a signature verification is supposed to entail.

Now the statue does not say, give a time requirement, but it does tell you what you are supposed to do and we had expert testimony that said you can not meet that definition of compare and consistancy within less than 3 seconds per signature. Not on this system. And that is why we put forth expert testimony to make that determination [of minimum time required]

TheseTruths

You can not have a statute that does not have a standard.

Exactly. That’s a perfect summation of what anyone with common sense knows is wrong with the judge’s statement to the effect that “Well, some verification was done.”

kalbokalbs

Judge 100% correct, “Well, some verification was done.”

It was a ballot. Nothing more was verified.

WHAT WAS UNCOVERED AFTER THE LAST TRIAL.

THEY USED FIVE SPARE TABULATORS IN THAT L&A CERTIFICATION TESTING. THEY DID NOT USE THE 446 TABULATORS THAT WERE USED ON ELECTION DAY
 
 That is step one.
 
 Secondly, and this is all from the documents that Maracopa produced, from the system log files from the pre-lab check lists and other documents. They only tested 45 ballots in the sampling of these five spare tabulators.
 
 Where as with the central count tabulators there were over 12000. With a logic and acuracy test you have to make sure every single combination of elections on the ballot will be properly tabulated. And there are an extraordinary number of combinations with maracopa county. And so they did not do that with the vote center tabulators. putting that aside.
 
 We found thru the system log files, they conducted, it was secret testing that they deny it was secret testing, but it was unannounced on the 14th, 17th, and 18th.
 
 260 of those 446 tabulators FAILED THAT TESTING WHICH GENERALLY INVOLVED INSERTING 8-10 BALLOTS INTO THOSE MACHINES. And they failed with the same types of error codes that arose on election day. And as I said in oral argument, that showed the election was rigged.

Gail Combs

This is the last bit and it is DAMNING!

 1:02:00 NEW EVIDENCE!

Keep in mind:
On October 11th 2022 is when the L&A tests certified the vote machines at that point they SHOULD have been SEALED and not touched until the election.

Then secret testing, — unannounced with no observers– was done on the 14th, 17th, and 18th.

Researchers Retract Over 300 COVID-Era Medical Papers For Scientific Errors, Ethical Concerns
https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/30/covid-19-coronavirus-study-retraction-vaccine-consent/

At least 330 COVID-19-related medical papers have been retracted since the coronavirus pandemic began, oftentimes for scientific errors or ethical shortcomings, according to watchdog Retraction Watch.

Many of the papers were published in smaller, less influential publications, although a number were published in the highly-prestigious Lancet and other influential journals like Science. The topics covered in the papers ranged from alternative proposed COVID-19 treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to false COVID-19 side effects.

One example of a U-turn from researchers occurred at the University of Manchester, where researchers two years ago asserted that hearing loss could be a result of COVID-19. Now, those researchers admit that was a faulty assumption…

Not all of the retractions were cutting against the establishment narrativesurrounding COVID-19. One paper was retracted for falsely claiming that the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths in the United States were due to other comorbidities, according to Science Direct.

TheseTruths

I agree with my conservative friends in the Freedom Caucus on some of the flaws in the Fiscal Responsibility Act and I’ve never wanted to raise the debt ceiling on debt that I never voted to create,..

🧵1/19

..but I came to Washington to make changes and this bill actually provides a tool (an idea from @RepThomasMassie) that gives us a chance to make those fiscal changes.

2/19 

The only power Republicans currently have is barely one-half of Congress, which is only one-third of the federal government. Democrats control the rest.

3/19 

I’ve been saying all along that the fight I will fully engage in is appropriations because appropriations is where everything is funded or defunded, and when your only real power is the ability to fund or defund, I’m all in to use that power as much as possible.

4/19 

In this debt ceiling bill, there is a tool provided to us that requires the House to pass 12 separate appropriations bills from the 12 different appropriations sub-committees, and if we can’t get them passed then we automatically pass a funding CR with an automatic 1% cut..

5/19 

..to funding.

Here’s how it works.

In the past, the 12 appropriations bills would get put together in bill packages, anywhere from 3’s to 6’s all the way to one big vote for all 12. That was done so leadership could force everyone to vote for all 12 funding..

6/19 

appropriations even if they didn’t agree on several of the appropriation bills. Conservatives hated this because they couldn’t vote no on bad appropriation bills and vote yes on just the good ones, they could only vote yes or no to all of them.

7/19 

Add on top of this the pressure of a government shutdown if they didn’t get appropriations done by the end of the year. We have all watched the dramatic saga on the news where Congress is in session on Christmas Eve being pressured to vote to fund the government..

8/19 

..(pass appropriations bills) or they couldn’t be home to watch little Johnny open his presents on Christmas morning and senior citizens wouldn’t get their social security checks.

So they held their nose and pressed the green button and here we are.

9/19 

By the way, dirty little tricks like these in the swamp are a big reason why we are nearly $32 trillion in debt and facing this ridiculous debt ceiling issue to begin with.

10/19 

But with the Massie CR tool in this bill that will get signed into law, the 12 appropriation bills will be separate and if we don’t get them passed because conservatives like me refuse to vote for garbage then we don’t have to deal with the pressure cooker campaign of a..

11/19 

..government shutdown because an automatic funding CR gets passed and the government gets funded at 99% with a 1% spending cut for the American people. That remains in place until we accomplish the hard work of passing 12 good separate appropriation bills

12/19 

For me, along with other strong conservatives like @Jim_Jordan@WarrenDavidson@RepThomasMassie, and many others, we see this as an opportunity to make real changes when we are fighting with practically both hands tied behind our backs.

13/19 

And with the very real reality of Chuck Schumer passing a clean debt ceiling raise in the Senate with another Ukraine supplemental attached, passing the Fiscal Responsibility Act that gives us the new appropriations tool and cuts $2.1 Trillion in spending, we understand..

14/19 

..the urgency to pass this bill.

If you are still having trouble understanding, just use your imagination and focus more on what we can defund in appropriations with this tool & how we can apply the Holman rule, which allows us to not fund federal programs and employees.

15/19 

And I have to inform you these tools are being given to our entire conference by @SpeakerMcCarthy and the leadership team.

I completely understand the skepticism because I had it too, but things are different.

16/19 

I ran for Congress because I felt like the Republican Party was broken, but in the past 5 months our Republican conference, that barely has 218 votes to do anything, passed the strongest Border Security bill in history, America First Energy bill, Parents Bill of Rights..

17/19 

.., Protecting Speech, Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act, and many other truly conservative bills.

I am truly excited at the thought of what we can accomplish if Americans give us full control with the White House, House, and Senate.

18/19 

I know what every hard working American knows. Rome was not built in a day and problems don’t get solved overnight. It takes tenacious hard work and a commitment to never give up.

This is a game of inches and I intend for all of us to win.

19/19 

TheseTruths

Once we pass the debt ceiling bill, these are just a few of the things House Republicans will be able to do in appropriations to take down the Deep State:

❌ Punish Dr. Fauci, Peter Strzok, James Comey, and John Brennan by defunding their retirements

Terminate all government funded COVID vaccine programs

Disband the 87,000 IRS army

Take down Biden’s domestic terror units in the FBI, DOJ, and Homeland Security that target conservatives

Punish everyone mentioned in the Durham Report for pushing the Trump-Russia hoax

Cut funding for all Green New Deal projects

Defund sanctuary cities

Cancel funding for the FBI’s new HQ in Virginia

Defund ATF programs that violate the Second Amendment

Hold FISA courts accountable for spying on over 278,000 Americans

Will be heading to the Great State of Iowa this afternoon for two days. I strongly defended and backed Ethanol, Ron “DeSaster” has ALWAYS been strongly against Ethanol, just like he voted 3 times to cut Social Security (and raise the minimum age to 70!), obliterate MediCare, and charge everyone a National Sales Tax of 23%. Remember, I terminated the worst trade deal in USA history, NAFTA, and replaced it with the best, USMCA. Also got China to pay our great FARMERS 28 Billion Dollars in damages!

AMEN! it is a total waste of FOOD/land to grow food/fertilizer.

Funny, I can not find any polls more recent than this:

JANUARY 24, 2007
Wide support for more fuel ethanol use: poll

In a poll by UPI/Zogby Interactive, four of 10 respondents said that ethanol is most likely to replace crude oil as the prominent U.S. energy source.

And 55 percent of the 6,909 online responders said the government should increase research and development funding for alternative fuels.

Trying to get at the public opinion from another direction:

May 09, 2022 Voters More Worried About Gas Prices Than Climate ChangeRasmussen Reports

A majority of voters are concerned about rising energy costs and favor increased drilling for oil and gas, although most Democratic voters consider reducing climate change a higher priority.

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds that 82% of Likely U.S. Voters are concerned about rising energy and gasoline prices, including 60% who are Very Concerned. Only 14% aren’t concerned about the rising price of energy. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Sixty percent (60%) favor a law that would dramatically increase oil and gas drilling in the United States, including 47% who would Strongly Favor such a law. Thirty percent (30%) would oppose a law to increase drilling…

“When push comes to shove, polls consistently show energy and economic security trump climate change for a majority of the public when asked which is more important,” said H. Sterling Burnett, director of Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute….

The survey finds that 50% of voters believe it’s likely that climate change will be catastrophic for humans, plants and animals within the next 100 years, including 30% who think it is Very Likely climate change will have a catastrophic impact within a century. Forty-two percent (42%) don’t believe climate change is likely to be catastrophic within 100 years, including 24% who say such a catastrophe is Not At All Likely.

“Despite three decades of propagandizing, just 50 percent of those surveyed believe climate change poses a real threat to humans or the environment over the next 100 years,” Burnett said in a statement. “By contrast, a strong majority of Americans support government policies that would expand oil and gas production, regardless of climate change.”…

……………

Supposedly Ethanol burns cleaner and thanks to government grain subsidies is ‘cheaper’

I think POTUS Trump is tossing a bone to the farmers and the Greenies. Given 50% of the population is climate change brainwashed it is not a bad move.

Those of us who dislike ethanol are no doubt a fairly small group.. You have to do a lot of digging under the Schiff to find any useful anti-ethanol info.

Cuppa Covfefe

Could be he’s throwing that bone far enough away to keep them out of the picture a while. Ethanol is not friendly to gaskets and some tubing and other components, although substitutes are available. I think chiefio has written a few things on it, as he has a civil-war-era Mercedes that can run on ANYTHING (as does my nephew who does design/test engineering at Porsche… one day he drove by and it smelled like french fries… he was running it on recycled (I hope 🙂 ) cooking oil)…

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yep. And methanol is even worse on those rubber parts.

If you build an engine with the intent of burning (say) straight methanol in it, it’s fairly simple to use the substitutes. Putting them in after the engine is in the car is a pain.

If, somehow, we ever did run out of oil but had cheap energy otherwise (e.g., fusion but only in big installations) we could conceivably make methanol out of carbon dioxide and water. It’s grossly inefficient to power our cars that way, but if we have limitless fusion power, why not?

That is what my husband says. Personally I do not know because I do not understand the whole ethanol thing.

The soil survey after WWII showed my land had 2 foot of very good top soil. In 1995, 50 years later ALL of it was gone and it was sold because it would no longer grow crops. That is why I have livestock and clover. I am slowly building up the soil. We are on top of a hill so we lose some top soil to the heavy rains each year.

And we should start the lead-up now, with many patriotic celebrations of our nation’s history. After all, Christmas starts being advertised months early, and “pride month” has already been going on even though it’s not June yet. Time to celebrate America! 🇺🇸

John Adams to Abigail Adams, July 3, 1776:

…But on the other Hand, the Delay of this Declaration to this Time [rather than six months ago], has many great Advantages attending it. — The Hopes of Reconciliation, which were fondly entertained by Multitudes of honest and well meaning tho weak and mistaken People, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished. — Time has been given for the whole People, maturely to consider the great Question of Independence and to ripen their judgments, dissipate their Fears, and allure their Hopes, by discussing it in News Papers and Pamphletts, by debating it, in Assemblies, Conventions, Committees of Safety and Inspection, in Town and County Meetings, as well as in private Conversations, so that the whole People in every Colony of the 13, have now adopted it, as their own Act. — This will cement the Union, and avoid those Heats and perhaps Convulsions which might have been occasioned, by such a Declaration Six Months ago.

But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene:

I’m excited to share the good news that just as I promised the J6 tapes are being released!

@SpeakerMcCarthy has given @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes, and their reporting on it starts tomorrow.

This is the transparency the American people deserve and I look forward to their reporting!

Why not to the public? Will the J6 prisoners have unfettered access?

I can not imagine John would not allow Jan 6ers access to the videos they need.

I just hope he has a LARGE team to help him review the tapes….

IMO, quid pro quo for MTG. She now gets “in line” for “juicy” committee assignments if the RINOs manage to keep the House; if the House reverts back to DemCommunist control, she gets top “ranking member” seats on committees.

I heard a distressed nanny goat screaming so I went and looked out the window. Her kid is about 500 feet away busy following a small white pony… Meanwhile Mom is going nutz. She has the truck and trailer between her and her kid.

She finally walled down the drive to the next paddock over so he could see her and called. Now they are finally back together.

Thank you. The PJ Media article is referring to the Cleveland Clinic employees study (the “Shrestha paper.”) If one is reading correctly on other outlets, this paper has now been peer-reviewed and found to be accurate — the MORE injections of a COVID-19 “vaccine” a person gets, the HIGHER the risk of that person coming down with COVID.
Perhaps THIS is the reason behind the government removing the original Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” (BNT162b2) and the original Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” (mRNA-1273) from the market and replacing them with the “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine” of each company, AND adding that “only one COVID-19 vaccine needs to be taken each year.”
Except that EVEN ONE INJECTION with ANY COVID-19 “vaccine” puts the recipient at risk for “vaccine”-induced / “vaccine”-engendered injury, illness, or even death.

Some angry farmers/ranchers ventilating the perps might slow them down…

So many people just don’t understand or perhaps don’t want to be bothered.

These invaders are not here to ask for asylum; they’re here to TAKE OVER (just look at Germany, and the EU)… They don’t share our faith, they don’t share our culture, they don’t share our values, and they don’t share anything else we care for or work to achieve.

But they’re more than happy to take anything we give them (Jizrah) and pretend to blend in (taqiyyah) until they take over (10-15% of the population, IIRC).

And the damned DEMONIC left hides this under “discrimination” or “bigotry” if you dare to call a spade a spade.

In Europe, each time the Mozzies were (finally) driven out took on the order of 600 years, and needed the support of the church and a faithful people. Both of those are far less sure than the last two times this was upon us.

They feel that meat from animals that have suffered horribly tastes better.

That pretty much explains them, in a nutshell.

And I see this crap each and every single day here…..

FBI Director Wray Admits FD-1023 Biden Bribe Document Exists; Offers Private Viewing to Comer and Grassley; Comer Again Warns of Contempt if Document Not Given to Congress
Joint statement by Comer and Grassley:

Comer & Grassley to Wray: Provide the Unclassified Documents or Face Contempt

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today issued the following statements after their discussion with FBI Director Christopher Wray about producing to Congress the unclassified, FBI-generated record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.

“Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee. While Director Wray – after a month of refusing to even acknowledge that the form existed – has offered to allow us to see the documents in person at FBI headquarters, we have been clear that anything short of producing these documents to the House Oversight Committee is not in compliance with the subpoena. If the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings,” said Chairman Comer.

“While the FBI has apparently leaked classified information to the news media in recent weeks, jeopardizing its own human sources, it continues to treat Congress like second class citizens by refusing to provide a specific unclassified record. Director Wray confirmed what my whistleblowers have told me pursuant to legally protected disclosures: the FBI-generated document is real, but the bureau has yet to provide it to Congress in defiance of a legitimate congressional subpoena. This failure comes with consequences,” Senator Grassley said.

I want to see the document. I want it provided to the House Oversight Committee, and then to the public, preferably during impeachment hearings or a trial.

And Wray should be impeached for doing nothing when he knew the person in the White House had taken a bribe.

para59r

So it goes from “It doesn’t not exist”, “could you be more specific” to “come to the FBI HQ’s and we’ll give you a private viewing”. Bad optics Chris.

TheseTruths

And we all know what those private viewings are like. No copies, photos, or notes. They get to see the document but not have it in hand. Then there’s a press conference where they’re not allowed to disclose any info except to say that it’s vewy sewious. One man should not have the power to withhold it from Congress and the public.

As Sundance told us in 2016, it is the splitter strategy so the RINOs can INSTALL THEIR PICK. We were SUPPOSED to get Jeb!

TheseTruths

Except the splitter strategy doesn’t work when Trump is in the running.

RDS

IMO, throw in “ranked voting”, using voting machines that are hooked up to foreign countries, add in the “Arizona vote fraud” and $oros money, and, Voila!

Right now, it looks like a “GOP Clown Car” — Pence, Christie, “Smarmy”, and the rest of them. However, the RNC has its own “agenda” (perhaps in backdoor collusion with the DNC.)

The goal of the RNC and the DNC, the DeepState, and the WEF Cabal is “Donald Trump will never set foot in the Oval Office ever again.”

It appears Trump took out Jeb! from future attempts. I’d call that a big win.

It absolutely does. They lasted 2000 yrs. We arent yet 250.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The fact of the matter is for the 900 or so of those 2000 years the western part of the empire (including Rome itself) wasn’t part of the empire, and for the last 500 it was basically Constantinople + a few surrounding areas. By then of course no one actually spoke Latin, all business was done in Greek.

I doubt someone like Cicero would have recognized it.

gil00

Huh. So the ancient version of RINO then? (Rome in name only?)

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Hah.

I refer, of course to the “Eastern Roman Empire” or “Byzantine” empire.

They called themselves Romans, and insisted they were the Roman empire, but around about the time of Justinian (530s or so) they pretty much stopped speaking Latin.

Even during Julius Caesar’s day, the eastern half of the empire used koine Greek as its lingua franca; a historical legacy of the Hellenistic era. (And this is why the New Testament was originally written in that language, and why someone bothered to translate the Old Testament into koine Greek as well [the Septuagint].)

The Empire was repeated split into eastern and western halves even as early as the 290s under Diocletian — for administrative convenience as much as anything else, though the split was permanent after about 390, but it is better thought of as being divided into Latin and Greek halves.

Yes, the Byzantines (which is what we call them) called themselves Romans, but indeed…in name only.

Lawyer cites fake cases invented by ChatGPT, judge is not amused
https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/27/lawyer-chatgpt/

Legal Twitter is having tremendous fun right now reviewing the latest documents from the case Mata v. Avianca, Inc. (1:22-cv-01461). Here’s a neat summary:

So, wait. They file a brief that cites cases fabricated by ChatGPT. The court asks them to file copies of the opinions. And then they go back to ChatGPT and ask it to write the opinions, and then they file them?

Beth Wilensky, May 26 2023

Here’s a New York Times story about what happened.

I’m very much not a lawyer, but I’m going to dig in and try to piece together the full story anyway.

The TLDR version
A lawyer asked ChatGPT for examples of cases that supported an argument they were trying to make.

ChatGPT, as it often does, hallucinated wildly—it invented several supporting cases out of thin air.

When the lawyer was asked to provide copies of the cases in question, they turned to ChatGPT for help again—and it invented full details of those cases, which they duly screenshotted and copied into their legal filings.

At some point, they asked ChatGPT to confirm that the cases were real… and ChatGPT said that they were. They included screenshots of this in another filing.

The judge is furious. Many of the parties involved are about to have a very bad time.

. . .

😱 Disbarment in their future, maybe? That’s hilarious, but is also such a serious ethics violation. They are not being truthful.

Woke: A Culture War Against Europe | James Lindsay at the European Parliament
MAY 30, 2023 NEW DISCOURSES

https://newdiscourses.com/2023/05/woke-a-culture-war-against-europe-james-lindsay-at-the-european-parliament/

On March 29, 2023, James Lindsay delivered a short address before a conference at the European Union Parliament in Brussels, Belgium. This speech has been widely recognized as making the nature of the Neo-Marxist Cultural Revolution engulfing the West extremely clear, with a sharp warning to Europe not to follow in the footsteps of the Anglophone countries. In the two months since, this speech has gone viral and received incredible praise and feedback for its clarity and ability to articulate the true nature of the so-called “culture war” or “Woke” phenomenon threatening the West. Join him to understand what’s happening all around us and why we must take it seriously.

Scientists Claim That Quantum Theory Proves Consciousness Moves To Another Universe At Death
https://blog.sciencenatures.com/2022/11/scientists-claim-that-quantum-theory.html

This top tweet is funny. It takes you to this lower tweet, thus demonstrating the concept 🤪

The lower tweet takes you to the story. (h/t for both Dinah)

conjecture
Essentially Abrahamic faiths along with other primitive faiths understand this in a general perhaps limited sense. The concepts here are ancient and are reflected in detail in both Vedic and Puranic writings. The Vedas are considered to be from 1500BC. The Purana’s come from 500BC and include the earlier Upanishads along with the epic stories of The Ramana and Mahabharata. There appears to be a huge disconnect between the Vedic period and Puranic period as they don’t seem to resemble each other, but it appears this disconnect may have been created on purpose to protect the paths ancients followed in learning about their universe as witchcraft was also widely practiced back in the day and it wasn’t considered safe to just practice these things willy nilly, training was required. Of the two, Vedic and Puranic, Vedic appears to be much more powerful and direct route in learning these things but after a 1000 years the Puranic cultures had pretty much covered up much of the ancient knowledge and developed a safer path for those adept.

para59r

Adds a little more conjecture.
The path we are familiar with is just as powerful. But requires the total the submission Bakocarol and Duchess show us. Hindu’s also allow for such a path but allow that the slightest doubts could leave you abandoned, but also allow a gradual build up toward acceptance and salvation. Pretty much what we do. We do after all have to live in material world. Can’t abandon it completely as it our world needs to be preserved so others can follow the path least the witches steal it all.

I want to call your attention to the second paragraph:

Other Republican candidates should follow suit because the opportunities are endless.

No mention of how the Trump Administation tried to use Title IX to protect women’s sports. No mention of Trump’s campaign promise to “sign a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.” No, Republicans have to “follow suit” of the great Ron DeSaster. Let’s get one thing straight here—Ron! needs to follow Trump’s suit, not the other way around.
