And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:4-11

4Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, 6who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses’ face because of its brightness, fading as this was, 8will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor? 9For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor. 10Indeed, in this case, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all, because of the splendor that surpasses it. 11For if what faded away came with splendor, what is permanent must have much more splendor.

PSALMS 99:5-9

5Extol the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he! 6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called on his name. They cried to the LORD, and he answered them. 7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the statutes that he gave them. 8O LORD our God, thou didst answer them; thou wast a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings. 9Extol the LORD our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy!

MATTHEW 5:17-19

17“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

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.

Hi Jolly was an actual person — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi_Jolly — hired by the US Army to be a camel driver in the Southwest US.

He would have been driving camels near to the Grand Canyon during the 1800’s.

So the post’s header of the Grand Canyon had me thinking of the ghosts of camels from long before.

cthulhu

I also managed to screw up the positioning of the comment because (as noted below) my eyes are watering.

Yikes, though I believe garlic is quite good for you. My hubby doesn’t like to kiss me if I’ve eaten Arabic w/ copious amounts of garlic paste–yum, if he also hasn’t recently had such Arabic food.

Hope you’ll feel better ASAP!

Oh, I’m ok now — it’s just I was sweating garlic syrup into my eyes for a while.

The Gay Liberation Front and the Homosexual Revolution – Have You Read The Manifesto?Fifty years ago, the first openly gay group called for “revolutionary change in our whole society” by “abolishing the family and the cultural distinctions between men and women.”

. . . It is not a coincidence that the LGBTQ movement looks in hindsight like a carefully executed and multi-faceted revolution. There are strong historical and ideological ties to communist and socialist leaders.

In 1972, an article in the Socialist Workers Party Discussion Bulletin notes: “We should work toward advancing the mass gay liberation movement and its confrontation with the capitalist system and its government. Gay activists will have to bring this system down and replace it before any fundamental change will occur for the benefit of gays.”

“Only our party understands the mass movements and knows how to build them,” the article continues. “Providing leadership for the movement is a part of our assuming the vanguard leadership of this radicalization as a whole.”

-Trump conspired with Russia

-Vaccines were safe and effective

-C19 did NOT come from a lab

-Hunter’s Laptop was Russian disinformation

In the clip, Rachel Maddow talks at length about how the network has to be responsible to not bring untruthful things. It’s probably the biggest load of baloney I’ve heard in a long time.

Quick note. The Tripartite Tractate is one of the text found at Nag Hammadi in 1946. This book is a gnostic text and its ideas were considered to be too exclusionary and as such is a primary reason it’s ideas could not be incorporated into the Bible. I’ll leave the rest behind veil as some will not wish or need to know more.

No need unless you want to know moar.
http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/tripart.htm (wanted a link to the internet archive, but they only have the 1hr borrow version. you could use that but every hour you have to recheck the book out. Has no idea why they do that. It’s all still free but it seems a nuisance.)

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

…Commentary[edit]

The work is introduced by Harold W. Attridge and Elaine H. Pagels in the James M. Robinson version of the Nag Hammadi Library. They state that the Tractate is “an elaborate, but untitled, Valentinian theological treatise which gives an account of devolution from and reintegration into the primordial godhead. The text is divided by scribal decoration into three segments which contain the major acts of the cosmic drama; hence its modern title.”[5] It represents a previously unknown revision of Valentinian theology in the above-mentioned scholars’ opinions. They even posit that the text may be “a response to the criticism of orthodox theologians such as Irenaeus of Lyons or Hippolytus.” They also notice that the text “displays some affinities with Origen’s doctrines”.

Furthermore, “The first part describes emanation of all supernatural entities from their primal source. It begins with the Father, described primarily as through a via negativa as an utterly transcendent entity. What can be affirmed is that he is unique and monadic. The insistence on the unitary character of the Father distinguishes the text from most other Valentinians who posit a primal masculine feminine dyad, although some members of the school, such as those mentioned by Hippolytus, also hold to a monadic first principle.” The godhead is thus less complex. The Son and the Church (Ekkeslia) then emanate from the Father. Rather than an ogdoad, a trinity is affirmed. While Eusebius of Caesarea mentions that Valentinus taught a trinity in his work ‘on the three natures’, this was likely a trinity of natures in one godhead rather than three persons.

Paul Linjamaa argues that ethically, the Tripartite Tractate is “an example of early Christian determinism.” Although the Valentinians rejected free will, they did not “disregard ethics as irrelevant,” as their opponents claimed.[6]

Superb interview. Worth every minute. Brought forward from yesterday.

ht Barb

Barb Meier

Thank you, kalbo! I am going to watch it again today to make sure I caught all of Barnes’ points. He was rapid firing case law. LOL

Gail Combs

Boy was he ever!

However the meat of it was the President as Chief Executive Officer and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces (He did not mention that) has ABSOLUTE POWER to declassify what ever the heck he wants AND THE CONGRESS AND REGULATORY AGENCIES UNDER HIM CAN NOT TAKE THAT AWAY!

Therefore the REGULATIONS put out by the DOE or EPA DO NOT TRUMP😜 a President’s Declassification rights.

Here’s how government documents are classified to keep sensitive information safe

Procedures for declassification of materials are complicated. However, the president has ultimate declassification authority and may declassify anything at any time, 👉subject to certain provisions of the Atomic Energy Act….

And if you track that down you come up with 👉𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦👈  PART 1045 – NUCLEAR CLASSIFICATION AND DECLASSIFICATION
Title 10 – Energy. CHAPTER X of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY  of the Atomic Energy Act that the Left is citing.

IT IS NOT EVEN A CONGRESSIONAL LAW!! It is something written by a drone in an office!

Not Even the President Can Declassify Nuclear Secrets – The Atlantic

August 17, 2022 – The Atomic Energy Acts of 1946 and 1954 produced an even stranger category of classified knowledge. Anything related to the production or use of nuclear weapons and nuclear power is inherently classified, and Trump could utter whatever words he pleased yet still be in possession of classified material.

….

What Barnes is saying is that those REGULATIONS made by a Department UNDER THE PRESIDENT are unconstitutional!!!

Actually I think ALL regulations are unconstitutional and the Supreme Court needs to revisit that ruling. (Funny how I can no longer find that supreme court case…)

In other words, Congress doesn’t complete its work so it can pass the political buck to a faceless bureaucracy, and to a judiciary that ultimately has to evaluate if what these alphabet agencies come up with is within spitting distance of what the Constitution allows. What’s supposed to be the most democratically accountable branch has been punting its duties and avoiding hard choices…

we’ve gotten here because Congress and the presidency have gradually taken more power for themselves, and the Supreme Court has allowed them to get away with it, aggrandizing itself in the process. As the Court has let both the legislative and executive branches swell beyond their constitutionally authorized powers, so have the laws and regulations that it now interprets. Competing theories battle for control of both the U.S. Code and Federal Register, as well as determining — often at the whim of one “swing vote” — what rights will be recognized. As we’ve gone down that warped jurisprudential track, the judiciary now affects the direction of public policy more than ever…. CATO INSTITUTE

Gail Combs

NOW think of FAUCI, the CDC and the FDA (and AMA and Hospitals) FLOUTING POTUS Trump’s directives in regards to HCQ? And also the RIGHT to TRY law.

TheseTruths

Thanks for bringing this. I had missed it.

TheseTruths

That is an amazing discussion. Why did Trump go through a declassification procedure for some documents but not others? Barnes says there is no need whatsoever for a president to go through any declassification procedure, and that on occasions when Trump did that, it was to allow other people to disclose those documents.

kalbokalbs

Of which, Bill Barr failed miserably, getting docs declassified.

Gail Combs

  :wpds_wink: got it in one!

Also a President after office RETAINS HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE FOREVER!

This means that leftist point gets trashed.

Valerie Curren

Also a President after office RETAINS HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE FOREVER!”

How about unconstitutional usurpers? Color of Law?

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Even if the usurper gets to keep his clearance…he might still be denied access on the grounds of no “need to know.”

You can have the highest clearance out there, it doesn’t entitle you to just look at anything. Do you need to know what’s in the document (or whatever it is) in order to do what you’re supposed to be doing? If not, you don’t get to see it. Period.

Valerie Curren

I doubt very many gov’t types say no to aka BHO, sickeningly…Even “team Trump” was filled with traitors & backstabbers, not to mention the unconscionable SES!

pgroup2

There you go again, dropping pesky little details into a discussion about BS talking points.

Barb Meier

Need to know applies to all derivative classifiers but that is part of the rules for ‘the rest of us.’ I suspect that presidents keep their clearance forever means exactly what it says so they can see anything. That would make sense to me since I’ve read that former presidents sometimes advise current presidents so they need to stay informed in case their opinions are needed quickly.

Valerie Curren

sounds like common sense

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yeah…that makes sense for the situation it was designed for (presidents who might disagree with each other but at least have the best interests of the US at heart). Alas that is not the situation we are in now, even if you assume the past Republican presidents (i.e., Bush Jr) are actually patriots…which no one here assumes.

Gail Combs

NEVER FORGET ALL THE DOCUMENTS WERE (PROBABLY) REMOVED BEFORE JAN 20th AND TRUMP LEFT BEFORE BITE-ME WAS SWORN IN .

This means when POTUS reached Mar-a-largo he was STILL President and could wave his magic Presidental wand over everything moved to Mar-a-largo.

Trump arrived at Mar-a-lago just moments before noontime Wednesday, when Biden took over the role as president.

Given that is a newspaper account…

He is correct.

They THOUGHT Americans could be Bamboozled by the News Media into thinking POTUS Trump was some sort of traitor or at least a buffoon who mishandled classified NUCLEAR documents.

Instead they just made Americans ANGRY. Thanks to Q and the Anons, there is a MASSIVE Rapid Fire REAL Fact Checking group that trashes the Fake News ‘talking points’ within days if not within hours. AND THEN IT IS SPREAD. I remember how amazed I was about how many ordinary folk KNEW about fractional Reserve Banking and how it worked.

Polls show almost no one trusts US media, after decades of war propaganda and lies

Very few people in the United States trust the mainstream corporate media. This is confirmed by a July survey from the major polling firm Gallup, which found that just 11% of North Americans trust television news, and a mere 16% have confidence in newspapers

Remember the Bilderburg meetings where they SELECT our next president?

I vividly remember Ron Paul saying he would run third party just before the meeting and then just after bowing out. Don Estulin said they were considering assassinating Ron Paul in that meeting. Also note his SON is now in the Senate and his SON supported China and the Transpacific Partnership. That is why I did not support Rand Paul and instead supported Trump back in 2016.

TradeBait2

You make an important point. When you hold political office, threats toward you and your loved ones are sometimes backed by actions if you do not refrain from whatever they want.

To be courageous in the face of the threats means the physical safety apparatus must be in place as well as information and communication channels. It helps greatly to have put on the armor of God and to be about His work in the process.

There is a Uniparty because of these threats. Once the elected officials suck from the teat of the beast they are poisoned and left exposed. That is a place you do not want to be if you have a conscience.

Gail Combs

Ron Paul and Jeff Sessions are the only 2 I can think of — currently who are close to honest.

Thank you, DPat … exceptional content every day. I truly appreciate everyone who contributes here; especially because some of us are limited in our own research due to physical constraints like macular degeneration 😢 Eye shots have stabilized my deterioration, but it has made reading computer screens for lengthy research impossible. Thus I am so thankful for faithful curators like you who link what we need, augmented by the wisdom of commenters. Much respect 🇺🇸 (and the humor ain’t bad either 😂)

scott467

Alison, I recently came across an AI-based text-to-voice translator that sounded quite good compared to the clunky robotic kind that I was familiar with.

With the recent explosion of AI stuff, I expect there will be plenty of competition and easier to use websites than the one I found. Not that it was hard, but I expect that soon (if not already) it will be as simple as right-clicking, selecting “text to voice” and making it pretty seamless.

Sometimes I use text-to-voice with really long articles when I’m tired, so I can lay on the couch with my eyes closed 😁

You could probably do text-to-voice for the entire 400+ comments on the daily Q-tree thread here, I don’t know why you couldn’t.

https://www.naturalreaders.com/

TheseTruths

Interesting. My computer has a reader function that allows me to have it read articles to me sometimes when I’m doing other things. (I imagine all computers have that capability.) It is annoying to have to hear it read out URLs that are posted (“http, colon, slash, slash, www, dot…”), and sometimes a font that it doesn’t recognize. (It will say, “Cyrillic letter a, Cyrillic letter c…, etc.”) It’s not perfect but is useful.

Alison

Thank you, Scott. You are right that there are viable and increasing choices to use text to voice accomodations. I have two stumbling blocks I need to overcome to that adaptation … i have been a reader all my life. I learn, contemplate, discern, and remember by reading. It will be difficult to adjust to using audio as my primary input – actually being able to accept that input in a way my brain understands it.

In addition, I am extremely sensitive to all sound and find many frequencies, volumes and voice tones are a form of excruciating torture. I rarely listen to videos, rumble, or music because I quickly grow irritated by sound or voices.

i understand these are my crosses to bear if I want to stay involved in the world at large. Right now my eyes still function to keep me reasonably informed and sustain my love of reading books (limiting computer screen usage). If/when the time comes that’s no longer possible, I will do my best to adjust to an audio world.

Gail Combs

Some people, like me and you learn thru visual input. Others learn via audio input.

Valerie Curren

Some are primarily kinetic through motion & touch, iirc. Multi-modal learning is probably best for homeschooling I would guess…

pgroup2

You can adjust all those annoying frequencies via settings of your sound card.

scott467

“I have two stumbling blocks I need to overcome to that adaptation … i have been a reader all my life. I learn, contemplate, discern, and remember by reading. It will be difficult to adjust to using audio as my primary input – actually being able to accept that input in a way my brain understands it.”

____________

I’m pretty much the same way. I think reading is better because we determine our own pace, where audio is at the pace of the speaker. While reading, we can pause and contemplate what we have just read for a moment, before continuing, let it sink in, while audio doesn’t really allow for that.

I like to lay on the couch to rest my eyes while listening to a text-to-audio conversion, but your comment made me think it would be nice to have a remote control to use as a pause and rewind button, either to stop and think about something that was said, or to rewind to listen again to something I missed (or misheard), all from the comfort of my couch.

So I found this, and there must be lots of similar devices, a remote that connects to the PC, allowing for volume control, pause, rewind, etc.:

I expect that AI may make such a thing unnecessary in the near future, if not already. You should be able to just speak to the computer, telling it to search for whatever it is you’re looking for, tell it to play, pause, rewind, etc. if it is a video, or convert text to audio for articles.

pgroup2

If any portion of the AI involves Google or Amazon [maybe others as well], then your computer is ‘open’ to unidentified third parties that have existing access contracts with the Demonic Duo.

scott467

“In addition, I am extremely sensitive to all sound and find many frequencies, volumes and voice tones are a form of excruciating torture. I rarely listen to videos, rumble, or music because I quickly grow irritated by sound or voices.”

____________

I don’t have any issues with sound that is supposed to be present, but noise bothers me, so desktop PC fan noise has always been an issue. I can ignore it for a while, but it’s like chyneeze water torture.

My Dell PC from 20 years ago sounded like a leaf blower. Eventually I built my own PC, using a large sealed case with a window, that operated on positive pressure, with three large but slow moving fans at the bottom of the case, blowing air into the case, up through the case, and out the top vents. Each fan had its own speed control knob showing rpms in a digital readout, and the window on the side of the case allowed me to see the digital temperature readout on the motherboard.

I used a gigantic heat sink for the CPU with a large slow-spinning fan, and video cards that were designed to work with a fanless heat sink.

It was a huge improvement. So as long as it was cool enough, I could turn the fans down low enough to be nearly silent.

I found a picture of one like mine, the case is called the Silverstone Fortress FT02:

comment image

comment image

It’s definitely not small, but it was pretty quiet.

.

But over time, as dust gathers and parts wear, temps climb, fans have to run faster, and it got louder and louder.

My most recent PC is fanless. The entire outer case is a heat sink. Total silence 😁

There are at least a couple companies who specialize in completely silent fanless PCs. The first one I found was https://silentpc.com/

I was going to get one from Silent PC at the link above, when I found this one:

https://www.fullysilentpcs.com/?v=796834e7a283

This is an example where the whole external case is a heat sink:

https://www.fullysilentpcs.com/product/custom-dp2/?v=796834e7a283#case

10.2 x 9.6 x 2.4 inches (WxDxH)

It’s small, has enough connections for 3 monitors, no fans (so no fan noise), and totally silent.

Finally! 👍😁

You probably know this but you can adjust the way your screen shows text, both the fonts & the contrast, to make it easier to read. I think some of that is found in “settings” for your device. Also browsers have a zoom capability to make reading with your eyes less stressful.

TheseTruths

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that 🙏.

Alison

💖💖 We all are dealing with something 😁 i used to have many older clients at a bank, and almost all of them were grumpy or not very social. After awhile i realized that many older men cannot hear (especially the high-pitched fast talk of younger folks) or they are enduring some sort of chronic pain which certainly would make me grumpy! It made me become more patient and aware to talk slowly and lower the tone of my voice.

Check the ingredients vs the preservation areds. Both my opthamologist and my retina specialist recommend only the areds, no other brand. Granted, the manufacturer might be giving them a kickback for recommending (they don’t give samples or sell them) but I think it’s more the combination of supplements that work together.

i get the areds from Amazon – larger quantity for better price. They aren’t cheap but I won’t skimp on eye care.

Yup. The bottom line matters – eye care.

I also take AREDS2 daily, along with extra vitamin A, vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, and vitamin E (besides what are already in the multivitamin that I take daily.)
Years ago, when my late husband contracted macular degeneration, his “old-school” ophthamologist (long gone) told him to immediately cut out all sugar, eat more vegetables, don’t “squint”, and practice what he called the “Near and Far” eye exercise:
Sitting down comfortably, look at a place in the far distance and look at it steadily (letting the eyes blink naturally, NOT staring at it) for 20 seconds. Then close the eyes for a few seconds. Then look at a place in the near distance for 20 seconds (letting the eyes blink naturally, NOT staring at it.) Then close the eyes for a few seconds. Keep breathing. Repeat the sequence for 2 – 5 minutes once a day. (One has to “build up” gradually to the 5 minute exercise limit, don’t start there.)
This was well before AREDS2 or anything like that.
Since I’m not an eye doctor, I can’t say this is medical advice — but I do believe the “Near and Far” eye exercise (which my husband faithfully did) helped to keep his macular degeneration “at bay” until he was in his 90s.

And, a nice “bonus” of AREDS2 is that it has Zinc in it — very handy for preventing / treating COVID.

Alison

Thanks RDS. It’s a good exercise!

TradeBait2

Your husband’s old schooler is correct IMO. Eye therapy techniques matter and we are learning more about it with grandson’s BVD issues.

I have dealt with early stage MD for years – dry type. My father contracted an advanced case of it. Understand it well.

I used AREDS for years. Helped stall it a little. What stopped its advancement dead in its tracks is using similar eye techniques, nutritional changes, and Aubergine’s recommendation of nattokinase with my own use of Ivermectin. I learned the eye techniques from my retinal specialist combined with other techniques provided by my chiro.

I eat regular servings of spinach, salmon, blueberries, etc. as Gail and Aubergine suggest. I cut down big on sugars long before I began my current Ketogenic nutritional method. I take a version of multi that includes the key vitamins and supplements for eye care that is in capsule form. As we age our bodies have more difficulty breaking down tablets. I use Primal Harvest, but numerous others are available that may be equally as good. The natto cleans the pipes and the Ivermectin attacks any parasites.

I have very few negative eye “events” anymore. Even the floaters are less pronounced. The annual eye exams with the retinal specialist indicate no advancement of MD and the early stage cataracts are less pronounced. Just a couple of years ago the retinal specialist was trying to sell me on laser removal of them. Now he just says see you in a year and acts disappointed there is no greater income stream coming from me. 🤣

pgroup2

My cataracts were solved by implanting artificial prescription lenses. My vision today is close to 20/20 and is about where it was when I was 30 years old. The surgery was done 6 years ago and my vision has remained unchanged since then.

Confirm this with Rand Paul. [j/k sorta]

Why Popeye only has eyes for spinach
(Spinach is high in vitamin K too.)

…Spinach and some other vegetables like sweetcorn, kale and broccoli are rich in a chemical called lutein, which, together with another carotenoid, zeaxanthin, form an oily, yellow substance at a central point of the retina known as the macula.

This yellow oil, called macular pigment, is thought to protect the macula from age-related macular degeneration or AMD, a disease that studies in the UK have shown to affect up to 12% of men and 29% of women over the age of 75.

“The macula is a small area of the retina responsible for seeing detail and colour in our central field of vision,” said Dr Ian Murray, who is leading the research in Manchester’s Faculty of Life Sciences.

“Our work has already found strong evidence to suggest that macular pigment provides some protection against AMD but we want to discover whether eating vegetables rich in these chemicals will have a direct impact on the disease….

Spinach: Health benefits, nutrition facts… | Live Science

Spinach is one of the best sources of dietary potassium and magnesium

The George Mateljan Foundation’s analysis of spinach’s nutritional properties placed it at the top of their nutrient-rich food list. “Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin Kvitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), manganese, folate… copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium … and vitamin C.” Spinach’s calcium, however, cannot be as easily absorbed as calcium from dairy, and you should only expect to absorb about ten percent of it. 

Spinach is also a very good source of zincdietary fiberphosphorus, vitamin B1 and choline. It contains a unique and beneficial mixture of phytonutrients, as well as anti-oxidants, flavonoids and carotenoids. 

“Spinach is also one of the best non-heme (plant-based) sources of iron,” Ware added. The same is true of spinach’s protein content; most of the calories in spinach come from protein. This makes it a popular food for vegetarians. At only 7 calories per cup of raw spinach and 41 per cup of cooked spinach, it’s also a great choice for dieters. 

Here are the nutrition facts for spinach…

Blueberries! Eat lots of blueberries. They are great for macular degeneration. And they are delicious. Especially in smoothies.

The Demon Rats are sneaky about it too. Reminds me of the ‘Patriot’ Act designed to go AFTER patriots…

…“As we’ve informed you,AB 2223 is a pro-abortion California bill that contains language that would restrict the investigation and reporting of certain kinds of infant deaths, and could effectively legalize infanticide. It has been clear from the beginning that the purpose of AB 2223 is to shield individuals, especially abortion providers, from civil or criminal liability when a baby is born alive after a botched abortion – and then left to die. In order to achieve this goal, the bill prohibits coroners’ reports related to the deaths of infants in the “perinatal” period from being used to bring civil or criminal charges against anyone.

“As we have explained extensively, the term ‘perinatal’ refers to a period of time generally encompassing the 20th to 28th week of gestation up until 28 days after birth. And, the bill – as originally written – could be interpreted as protecting both a woman (and any person assisting a woman) from civil and criminal liability related to the death of an infant in the perinatal period for “any reason.”…

I think it went as far back as Obama DELIBERATELY writing tjat letter to President Trump with ‘nuclear’ in it. He had declassified some nuclear stuff so he would be WELL AWARE that there was a law saying Nuclear secrets is the ONLY time a President can not unilaterally declassify a document. Attny Barnes shows WHY this is an unconstitutional law BTW esp since it is REGULATIONS written by a bureaucratic drone.

Obama’s Campaign manager said this. So Obama setting up Trump TO BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED makes perfect sense given this statement.

comment image

Here’s how government documents are classified to keep sensitive information safe

…There are several degrees of classification. Documents related to nuclear weapons will have different classification levels depending on the sensitivity of the information contained. Documents containing information related to nuclear weapons design or their location would be highly classified. Other information may still be highly classified but deemed not as sensitive. For example, in 2010 President Barack Obama declassified the number of nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile….

Executive Order 13256, issued by Obama, spells out who specifically may classify information.

Now going back to the top:

Documents sought by the U.S. Justice Department from former President Donald Trump may contain material related to what The New York Times described as 👉some of the most highly classified programs run by the United States.” The Washington Post reported that 👉“classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought” during a search of Trump’s Florida home on Aug. 8, 2022. 🙄

HOWEVER THIS IS THE KEY!!!

Procedures for declassification of materials are complicated. However, the president has ultimate declassification authority and may declassify anything at any time,

  :wpds_arrow: subject to certain provisions of the Atomic Energy Act.

And those are the REGULATIONS (Not LAWS) the Deep State is trying to use.

Starbucks ‘deeply concerned’ by spread of ‘false’ claims the company is removing Pride flags from stores
https://www.foxnews.com/media/starbucks-deeply-concerned-spread-false-claims-company-removing-pride-flags-stores

…After a Twitter account for a Starbucks employee union tweeted Tuesday that Starbucks decided to ban Pride Month decorations in many of its U.S. stores, the company denied the claim in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

The company called the claim “false information,” said it was “deeply concerned” by the spread of the false allegations and re-pledged its commitment to the LGBTQ community…

Starbucks responded with a forceful denial of the union’s allegations. In its statement to Fox News, the coffee company said, “We unwaveringly support the LGBTQIA2+ community. There has been no change to any policy on this matter and we continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities including for U.S. Pride month in June.” 

It continued, “For Starbucks, U.S. Pride Month in June is just one of the moments we support and celebrate our LGBTQIA2+ partners and the community, and it’s our own partners who inform the commitments and actions we have continued to take for more than four decades.”

The company also noted its concern that the story was gaining traction, as the claim had been reported by several other outlets since the union’s original tweet…

Still, Starbucks Workers United insisted its claims were true in subsequent tweets, stating, “Starbucks Corporate is denying any change to their policies on Pride this year – but if that were true, why are there countless stories where workers are claiming the opposite?” The account went on to post stories from social media.

By Tuesday evening, the union’s original allegation received had a Twitter “Community Notes” fact check, which said, “Starbucks has denied the union’s accusation of banning Pride decorations.” 

Whatever.

Does anyone have a clue what this means? – LGBTQIA2+

According to the Medicine Hat Public Library in Alberta, Canada:
https://mhpl.shortgrass.ca/blog/lgbtqia2s-what-does-it-all-mean

LGBTQIA2S+

stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and Two-Spirit. The terms used to describe gender identities and sexual orientations are constantly changing and being updated to better represent people.

Sexual Orientation & Gender Orientation

Sexual orientation is who you go to bed with; gender orientation is who you go to bed as. These are independent terms. A comprehensive list of Sexual Orientations can be found here.

Transgender

is a gender identity that does not correspond with the gender assigned at birth.

Cisgender

is a gender identity that does correspond with the gender assigned at birth. 

Intersex

means you’re born with biological traits that are outside the strict male/female gender binary (such as anatomy, chromosomes, and/or hormones). Examples include Turners Syndrome, Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, and Klinefelters Syndrome. Being intersex is not the same thing as being transgender. 

Non-binary

typically is descriptive of someone whose gender identity is not exclusively male or female. 

Genderqueer

typically is outside of, in-between, or fluctuating between the binary gender categories of male and female. Gender queer relates to the spectrum of both Gender Identity as well as Gender Expression – that is, they may move fluidly between the identities of male and female and separately may move fluidly between masculine expression and feminine expression.

Two-Spirit

refers to Indigenous people who express their gender or sexual identities as different from others. Not all Indigenous individuals who are not Cisgender or Heterosexual will identify as Two-Spirited, but all Two-spirit individuals identify as Indigenous. Some nations hold space for more than 2 genders, such as the Díne, The Anishnaabe, and the Lakota. 

This is so ridiculous. They keep adding new parameters that require their own acronyms or identification symbols. They’re so caught up in themselves and these identities that they are blind to reality. Do we really need to know if someone is asexual (A), questioning (Q), or possessing biological traits that are outside the norm (I)? It’s as if they’re playing a child’s game of make-believe where they create their own worlds and kingdoms. IMO, it’s way too much work to sort all that out, just as it’s too much work to try to use pronouns that are outside of the norm and to try to remember what all those flag colors stand for. This is a sickness that is being forced on us. We have to resist at every turn.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Their “I” is a lie. They are TRYING to break the sex definitions.

Turner syndrome are all women – but with 1 X chromosome, or sometimes a partial second. It is the absence of a Y that makes them women.

Klinefelter syndrome are all men – but with 2 X chromosomes. They have some slight feminization – typically slight moobs – but are otherwise men, generally fertile. It is the presence of a Y that makes them men.

Typical propaganda.

That’s way too simple for the make-it-up-as-you-go crowd.

Mark 5:9

Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

I’m disappointed in The Thinker … he totally missed Putin’s ‘dress-down’ of most of the ‘Telegram’ so-called expert analysts … here’s that take from a Russian …

https://cont.ws/@alexandr-rogers/2569496

An excerpt from Alexander’s piece:
———————————————–

Everyone knows about the Dunning-Kruger effect, right?
Which in simplified form is formulated as “A moron can not understand that he is a moron, because he is a moron”.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to observe this. When Putin mocked and lowered the military training camp for two hours, but they did not understand it.

As Comrade Divov says in such cases, ” There are markers placed all over the text!”.
I’m meticulous, so I’ll even make an indicative selection of the most delicious (that’s why they don’t listen to me and won’t look at Antikiller in any way – maybe then at least something would have reached them).

As Comrade Martyanov already says, ” It’s time to attack them ad hominem.”

Let’s start, perhaps, with the most obvious – with Sladkov. He was simply besieged and put in his place. Phrases like “You got a whiff of something from the Ukrainian side” from the usually reserved Putin are almost undisguised anger. The closest analogs are “I ate too much henbane” and ” Yes, you’re a drug addict!”.

Similarly with “I’m asking you a rhetorical question because you can’t know the answer to it, only I can answer it” – what is not clear in this phrase?

In fact, about Sladkov, Putin simply wiped his feet, showing his contempt.

The next Steshin. Who for two weeks threatened to ask a terrible question, already uhhh!”

Yesterday cthulhu  Reply to scott467
with this:

Rhythmbox says I currently have 2257 albums in its database, each of which is backed up by something physical (except any destroyed or stolen). Many are out-of-print.

It reminds me of the Feral Reserve’s ‘Fractional Reserve’ where the bank ACTUALLY HAS 3% of what they say they do.

OR GOLD

Gold IRA Scams:

The investor never sees the physical gold and is left holding the bag when the scammer disappears with their money. Other times, the people that run these gold IRA scams will set up fake companies and then try to sell investors gold that doesn’t exist.

Personally I think even the ‘Reputable Dealers’ are playing the ‘sell the same gold to multiple people game’ as the medieval Goldsmiths. After all that is HOW we got ‘Fractional Reserve banks’ in the first place.

Oh and talking about SCAMS this is a really goody:

….Any real physical gold, silver, platinum, or palladium held in an IRA or other retirement account must be stored in an IRS-approved custodian, such as a third-party vault or depository facility, according to the IRS regulations.

Your gold IRA assets cannot be taken personally, nor can you keep them in a safe at home or even a safety deposit box under your control….

At some point the manipulators will then remove or deemphasize gold from the standard and make bank on its fall. Which is why you can never remove WEF from being in league with BRICS if it is convenient to both.

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.

Well, I’m not a scientist, but I do believe strongly in the virtues of “earthing,” with bare feet, or leather-soled (no insoles or liners) shoes.

Human beings are connected to the Earth. We were made from it, we have lived on it, and if you believe in evolution, we developed on it.

I personally believe that connection directly to the Earth brings us closer to connecting to the Schumann resonance field. Humans are electrical beings, and the Earth is surrounded by this electrical field. But all the tech around us interferes with the field.

That’s my two cents, anyway, from an herbalist/naturalist point of view.

Wow . . . The Revolution continues to eat itself – erasing “women” from LGBT:
Backlash against Johns Hopkins after university erases ‘women’ from definition of ‘lesbian’
The office made no such change to the term ‘gay man.’
Johns Hopkins University’s Gender and Sexuality Resources office updated its definition of lesbian to ‘a non-man attracted to non-men’
John Rigolizzo | Associate Editor
June 13, 2023, 12:18 pm ET

https://campusreform.org/article?id=23459

Johns Hopkins University was slammed online this week for erasing women from the word “lesbian” in its LGBTQ glossary.

The university’s “Gender and Sexuality Resources” office contains a glossary of LGBTQ identities and terms. It includes a definition for the term “lesbian” that makes a point to exclude the word “woman.” It reads:

A non-man attracted to non-men. While past definitions refer to ‘lesbian’ as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label.

But the term “gay man” has no such gender-inclusive phrasing in its definition:

A man who is emotionally, romantically, sexually, affectionately, or relationally attracted to other men, or who identifies as a member of the gay community. At times, “gay” is used to refer to all people, regardless of gender, who have their primary sexual and or romantic attractions to people of the same gender. “Gay” is an adjective (not a noun) as in “He is a gay man.”

Johns Hopkins was slammed for the change across the political spectrum, especially by LGBT commentators, on Twitter.

“Why is a lesbian a non-man but a gay person isn’t a non-woman? Progressive misogyny,” lesbian political commentator Arielle Scarcella wrote over a screenshot of the glossary.

“Lesbians are being erased and it’s f***ing tragic,” Jaimee Mitchell, founder of Gays Against Groomers, replied to Scarcella. “Gender ideology at its core is deeply homophobic. The two cannot coexist. It’s time for a divorce. #LGBWithoutTheT”

You would have thought the Feminists would have gotten a CLUE when MEN were allowed to invade WOMEN’s sports.

You did not scream then Bitches, so you are a little too late now. MEN have now been allowed to take over the category ‘WOMEN”

Oops, meant to say “we”…

Feminazis of course being etymologically-challenged (OK, just about everything-challenged). They also yammer about “HIStory”, without knowing it’s a French word (borrowed, or stolen 🙂 )…L’Histoire… which, deliciously ironic, is a feminine noun… 🙂

(all this crud about gender drives me nuts… be thankful that English doesn’t have masculine, feminine, and neuter… perhaps there are other languages with even more… who knows, maybe the gender-freaks here in Germany will add even more genders, just when we have the worst language scores in decades “thanks” to our “Kulturelle Bereicherung” from the Süd-Süd-Südländern, i.e. our illegal “immigrant” refauxgees)…..

The parsing of words and definitions and distinctions continues. Definitions are not simple in that world; there are too many variables. As I said in another comment, it’s too convoluted for most people (I would think) to want to bother to sort it out. That is, if they can get past their aversion to it in the first place.

Oh come on, the womens is getting screwed by the Patriarchy again!

You don’t even have to READ it, you can tell because the womens only get about 3.125 lines of text, while the non-womens get at least 4.425 (I’d argue closer to 4.618) lines of text to describe themselves.

The mens get to include “affectionately or relationally” in their description, while the womens is getting shafted on both counts.

It ain’t FAIR and it ain’t RIGHT!

All interested parties are to meet at the Johns Hopkins administration courtyard for lunch to settle the score in the traditional manner.

That’s right ladies and germs, it’s a pants-off dance-off at high noon, and may the best (non-binary) dancers win!

Off the wall. Back in the Navy GS days.

They were spouting BS.^^^ Pretzel twisting words in today’s vernacular.  :wpds_arrow:  Gal and guys. XX and XY. Anything beyond that IS, pretzel twisting bullshit.

This Psych Nurse I worked with on the closed psych unit of a Christian hospital liked to tell us some of her wilder tales. She had a male patient who’d finally been cleared to leave the unit (we worked on the locked floor with the most extreme cases) so she took him & a few other patients to the adjacent Christian college for a basketball game.

Unfortunately the stands were quite full so she had to sit a couple rows behind the patients so she could keep her eyes on all of them. At one point this young man turned around to loudly exclaim how well he was managing his current issues so appropriately…

He yelled “Hey Carol, I’m not throwing up AND I’m not playing with myself!”

Apparently he used to puke various places, including into the radiator covers. She also caught him a few times slapping the shillelagh & she said she used to whip out (ahem) her pencil to give the offending “member” a good whap that immediately deflated & disappointed the appendage & its owner!

edit Boy I hope you, or someone, reads this little gem. We still talk about this scenario in my family even though I heard of it more than 30 years ago!

Yours Truly: Among the links on today’s array from mole.substack,com/, there is a link to VAERS ID#: 2609743. This is the VAERS report about a 64-year-old female who apparently took THREE shots of the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” mRNA-1273, and also TWO shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2.
Both BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 are considered to be involved in the woman’s being diagnosed with CJD in August, 2021. She took her THIRD dose of mRNA-1273 in December, 2021 and ten months later died of the CJD. She had no prior reported medical history before starting to take either product. She also had a secondary diagnosis of Dementia which appears to have begun after she starting taking the shots.

Yours Truly will point out that the lipid nanoparticles present in the mRNA-based COVID-19 “vaccines” speed the migration of the spike protein + its mRNA throughout the body of the recipient. One of the organs that the spike protein + its mRNA migrates to is the brain. This unfortunate woman contracted Dementia and CJD after taking the COVID-19 “vaccines” above. Since she died from the CJD about 18 months after taking her first “vaccine” shot, her death can be called a “mid-term” fatal adverse event (more than 1 year post-“vaccination.”)
Yours Truly will also point out that the “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccines” from Moderna and from Pfizer-BioNTech contain spike protein + its mRNA from the original formulations of said “vaccines”, although at a lower amount of mcg per shot. They also contain lipid nanoparticles, although each product uses different forms of them.

Morning all …

Bit of a ground report here … dealing with more than usual back pain last three weeks or so … Doc ordered a back brace which gives some relief. I refuse any pain meds as I have a high tolerance/threshold for pain, very low threshold for meds (I become a zombie!) …

and to add to this physical pain … local Sissy who is bi-polar and refuses meds, up and moved from her assisted-living home … put her things in storage and called her daughter to say she had done so, and was staying in motel thirty miles away and ‘can I live with you” … Drama Queen all her life, the family is fed up with her manic episodes… She is presently with youngest Sissy in Myrtle Beach, whose Hubby had major colon surgery last month. The now cancelled soap operas never had plots this good!

Bottom line … for me is I will be MIA as far as posting for a little while …

I was able to get my garden in fairly good shape, the bird feeders are up and the butterflys and birds are frequent guests and my solace at the moment… and of course the Lord is always present … I have a bench for two …

The world will keep ‘whirling’ while I continue to lurk and keep up with all of you … many of whom have your own personal trials and tribulations. Sending light and love to all, and prayers, always prayers.

Wife whose had low back surgery, uses Salon Pas for back pain, but for some strange reason she only gets them from Korean grocery stores and not other places that carry them. Same as Scott’s Lidocaine patches IMO, which she has a prescription for but does not use them. You can cut the Lidocaine patches for whatever size you wish. The Salon Pas already come cut in small sizes appox 3″x 2″ and she wears two or three all the time for two and three days at a time.

Back brace is a good idea. Wife uses such but with out any reinforcement.

Offers this, but at our age we shy away from extra exertion.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=qigong+for+back+pain though some of this seems pretty easy and not too time consuming and can be done in 5 or so minutes.

My brother has become a qigong instructor but I think he does it to strong arm patients at his VA clinic so he can take their meds. Not kidding. Glad I’m in Texas and not Massachusetts’s. 😆😏😲

Will look forward to when you can pop in as I’m sure we all will. Promises we won’t go pro Ukrainian in your absence 😁 but can’t promise we won’t all get hauled away by FIB , but if such happens we’ll leave messages at our sister sites.

No solutions for local sister and an arms distance seems wise if you can manage it but trusts you’ll be as nice as circumstances permit.

Thanks Para for all the tips for back pain…

I have to admit I’m relieved she is with Sue Ellen… I am the oldest sibling, ten years older than local Sissy (no longer local) and 12 older than Sue Ellen, who spent much of her adult life in New Mexico, away from family drama. (I would never have wished this problem on Sue Ellen, but she dove right in, without talking with either me or my niece in Charleston. Even after hearing my thoughts on the situation, Sue feels ‘love’ will mend all… so I have stepped back… as has my niece.)

Ohh don’t want to even think about anyone getting hauled away … 😉

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/11/kamala-harris-emilys-list-pac-00101400

One of the nation’s most powerful political groups tasked with helping female candidates is readying a massive investment to improve Kamala Harris’ public standing.

EMILY’s List, the political action committee whose aim is to elect female candidates supportive of abortion rights, says it will be spending “tens of millions of dollars” to defend and prop up the vice president during the 2024 election.

Such an investment in support of a sitting vice president is politically unprecedented. And it reflects the lack of broader efforts that have been made to date to help bolster the vice president amid persistently low approval ratings.

It also underscores the growing recognition that Harris may play an outsized role in what is sure to be a tough election. Republican presidential candidates have made it clear they will be using the specter of a Harris presidency as a way to hurt Joe Biden’s chances at reelection, particularly by raising questions about his age and capacity for the job.

“She is a boogeyman that Republicans can [and will] use when it comes to pushing their message,” a senior Republican strategist said, speaking anonymously to discuss election season strategy frankly. “A President Harris would be even worse than a President Biden because she campaigned as a progressive fighter and had to moderate herself when she became Biden’s running mate. And to be completely frank, she’s smart. She’s an accomplished prosecutor. She was a United States senator. And she does have the resume to match.”

Laphonza Butler, the president of EMILY’s List, told POLITICO that the effort is not to redefine but to “remind” voters of the politician that electrified enough of the party as a freshman Senator to have the juice to run for president.

“We’re going to tell the story about who she is, what she’s done, support her at every turn and really push back against the massive misinformation and disinformation that’s been directed towards her since she’s been elected,” said Butler, a longtime Harris ally.

Like how she’s not a natural born citizen according to strict interpretation (born in America to non-citizen parents), how she can’t form a coherent paragraph, how she cackles when she doesn’t know what to say, how she lies and persecutes political enemies? Or maybe how, when she ran for president, her percentages were so low that she dropped out early (in other words, that people don’t like her)?

But there is a belief that Democrats largely need to do a better job of defining the vice president as she’s endured stumbles and harsh media coverage. Harris aides and allies have often been frustrated with, what they perceive to be, a lack of a full-throated defense of her from the White House and fellow Democrats during the toughest times of her vice presidency.

“The White House team themselves didn’t fully understand early on the differences that when you have a woman in this role, it has to look different. You have to do it differently. You can’t just do it the way you would with a white man, because again, people have never seen it before,” one Harris ally told POLITICO. Once that narrative, as you say, kind of got set in and, you know, that doesn’t mean it’s accurate.”

Now they’re just making excuses. (But what is a woman? How do we know she is one? 😂)

DeSantis Backer Rep. Massie Opposes Move to Hold Adam Schiff Accountable for Russiagate Lies.

Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) – one of Governor Ron DeSantis’s most prominent supporters and lay advisers – will vote against efforts to hold Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff accountable for peddling Russia-gate conspiracies which led to countless conflicts in U.S. politics, and millions spent by authorities “investigating” the matter.Massie’s Congressional colleague Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) filed a motion to “censure, condemn, and fine” Rep. Schiff (D-CA) for pushing Russia-gate even after the Durham Report concluded the federal investigation into alleged Trump-Russia links had been baseless and biased.Schiff is renowned for telling outright lies in an effort to destabilize a sitting President of the United States, stymieing the popular will of the American public for his ideological end goals. For that, Rep. Luna wants to fine Schiff up to $16 million – “half the cost of Russia investigation” – for his “egregious abuse of trust”. Massie has indicated he will not support her. “Adam Schiff acted unethically but if a resolution to fine him $16 million comes to the floor I will vote… against it,” Massie wrote on social media.“The Constitution says the House [of Representatives] may make its own rules but we can’t violate other (later) provisions of the Constitution,” he added, insisting that “[a] $16 million fine is a violation of the 27th and 8th amendments.”Massie has failed to outline how fining Schiff – a power indeed granted to the Congress – would violate the 27th Amendment, which concerns the salary of elected members, or the 8th Amendment, which is about fines for criminal activity, not political malfeasance. Rep. Massie’s office can be reached here.

Love it. My husband’s oldest half brother was pretty sickly as a baby so his mom took him to the doctor. Said doc determined that the new mom was keeping her kid too clean. He said “kids need to eat a pound of dirt by age 2 to be healthy”! Old time “medicine” that actually works! I kind of think that’s also why the Designer has kids be such major booger eaters, to boost immunity!

I have started him on Coconutoil as well as more beef and he is now going up and down stairs without a cane or handrail.

SEE: Coconut Oil and MCT Oil: Ketones as Alternative Fuel for the Brain in Alzheimer’s and Other Disorders

Valerie Curren

Such great news!!!

We used to use MCT oil for Josiah when he was an infant & no longer allowed to have “mommy milk” due to leaking kylous fluid into his chest tube post heart surgery. His home formula was Portagen, Moducal, & MCT oil. Whereas before heart surgery it was “mommy milk”, human milk fortifier, & MCT oil.

He’s having such problems with his one knee periodically collapsing, even after a couple months of PT, I wonder if using such oils, or other nutritionals Might be of help to him.

I think he has some type of connective tissue disorder that allows increasing movement in joints etc. to the point now that sometimes the right kneecap shifts out of position & his leg won’t support its weight consistently.

Using a cane has Sometimes been helpful for him but he doesn’t always plant the cane on the ground when his iffy knee is about to carry his weight so he Still ends up falling down more than we’d like. I think this is more an autistic processing issue & general forgetfulness too…sigh…

At some point we might see if there is some type of knee brace that can allow range of motion but stop the kneecap from migrating…we’ll see…

You could try some Silkies as ‘pets’ The first time I saw a pair was a black and a white sitting on the handle of a shopping cart in Lowes Hardware.

They are a very sweet tempered bird and not big. Many exotic chicken breeders keep a few silkies because even the males will sit and hatch anything… even a golf ball.

Silkie chickens: how to raise and care for this gentle breed.

The Silkie’s characteristic ‘silky’ feathers look that way because they don’t have the ‘barbs’ other chickens do. The fluffiness makes them look much bigger than they actually are – and makes them feel very soft to the touch. A standard Silkie will weigh as little a

If you’re looking for a friendly, chatty, sweet-natured breed as a first chicken for your children or a companion for yourself, you may just have found your ideal.

Silkie chickens are exactly as they look – funny, cuddly and very kind.

But they’re not suitable for every kind of climate. Before you invest, make sure the Silkie will fit in with your family and your environment.

My ‘at-a-glance’ guide describes this loveable breed, and what you need to provide if you’re going to live together in harmony.

Most people would not even KNOW these birds were chickens. Also they can not fly.

That sounds amazing! Unfortunately our city doesn’t allow Any such animals 🙁

We went by my dad’s grandfather’s old Detroit home, & that was on a standard lot of perhaps 40′ X 120′. Dad said his GP used to have a horse, chickens, & I believe a pig, as well as dogs, on that lot way back in the day perhaps even into the 50’s.

Those were the days of Freedom! Dad loves to describe how his dad as a 12 year old drove his own father & uncle down to the Detroit City Hall to get their first driver’s licenses when that “mandate” came down the pike & Everyone was up in arms about this government tyranny, that made drivers pay 10 cents for the privilege. They also had to answer what the 3 stop lights were in the City of Detroit at the time in order to “earn” said license!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

On this day in history, June 14, 1777, the first American flag was officially adopted by Congress. The Flag Act of 1777 specified that the new American flag would have “thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.”

There is much controversy about who actually designed the flag. The two main candidates are Francis Hopkinson, a New Jersey signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was on the Naval Board at the time, and Betsy Ross. Both stories are unconfirmed though and have points that speak for their truth and against them.

Hopkinson submitted a bill to Congress for “creating the new US flag.” The bill, however, was denied by Congress. Later Hopkinson changed the bill and asked for payment for creating the new US Navy flag. Were there two separate flags, one for the Navy and one for the Army? Some evidence suggests this. Hopkinson was also an artist and an expert in heraldry (flag design). In spite of this, there is no evidence of any drawings Hopkinson submitted to Congress.

The Betsy Ross flag story is more well-known. Again, though, there is no contemporary evidence for the story. The story comes entirely from Betsy’s grandson William Canby, and a few other relatives, all of whom stated many years after her death that they heard Betsy tell the story from her own mouth.

This legend goes that George WashingtonGeorge Ross (Betsy’s late husband’s uncle) and Robert Morris approached her secretly in May or June of 1776 and asked her to make the flag. Circumstantial evidence supports the story. Betsy and George Washington sat in pews next to each other at church and Washington was known to visit Betsy socially and professionally, using her tailoring services. George Ross was a family member who had been in Congress. Due to lack of concrete evidence, however, we will never know for sure who designed the first American flag.

The Flag Act of 1777 did not specify the pattern for the stars, the number of points on the stars, the width of the stripes or the canton (the blue field) or whether a white or red stripe should be first. This caused a proliferation of flag designs with the stars especially being in many different patterns.

The Flag Act of 1794 added two stars and stripes for the new states of Vermont and Kentucky. This was the only official United States flag to ever have 15 stripes. The Star Spangled Banner Flag of Francis Scott Key fame was made in this design, but again, the 1794 act did not specify the pattern of the stars.

The Flag Act of 1818 finally determined that the stripes would remain at 13 for the original colonies. It also added five stars, bringing them to 20, for recently inducted states. This act also set the rule that a new star would be added for each new state to be added. The new star would be added on the July 4th after the state was added to the Union. The last time the US Flag was changed was with the addition of Alaska, the 50th state, in 1960. June 14 is celebrated across America as Flag Day in honor of the adoption of the first official US Flag.

It has been interesting to see how surprised leftists have been about the continuing, and increasing, support for Trump. Jill Biden is shocked, Jake Tapper seems disgusted and crestfallen, Frank Luntz is just now realizing that Trump’s support is growing and that he can win, etc. But it’s hard to imagine Repub candidates and Congress critters not knowing. Their own poll numbers, compared with his, give it away. The fact that they appear to think they can muscle through in spite of MAGA despising them makes me wonder what they have up their sleeves.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

To them a Trump win is not a win, because he’s not like them.

If they can’t win on their own terms, they don’t want to win, because to them, it wouldn’t be a win.

FIND MY GOP: Where the 2024 Republican candidates were yesterday as Trump indicted in Miami by Biden DOJ
https://thepostmillennial.com/find-my-gop-where-the-2024-republican-candidates-were-yesterday-as-trump-indicted-in-miami-by-biden-doj?cfp

1. Vivek Ramaswamy

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who entered the field in February, stood outside the courthouse and said should he win, he is committed to pardoning Donald Trump. He called on all those in the Republican field to do the same or issue an explanation as to why they won’t.

IMO, he should be saying the charges are bogus instead of that he would pardon Trump.

2. Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who consistently polls second in the field, was absent, both on social media and in Miami. No statement, whether in support or against his primary competitor, was issued. He was generally entirely absent from the campaign trail on Tuesday.

During a Friday campaign stop in Greensboro, North Carolina, DeSantis condemned the weaponization of federal agencies, though he did not mention Trump.

3. Mike Pence

On Tuesday, Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence sat down with the Wall Street Journal in their New York conference room, saying that “these are very serious allegations.”

“And I can’t defend what is alleged. But the President is entitled to his day in court, he’s entitled to bring a defense, and I want to reserve judgment until he has the opportunity to respond,” Pence said.

Pence stressed both that “no one is above the law,” and also that “as Americans, you’re innocent until proven guilty”…

4. Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and United States ambassador for the United Nations under Trump, was in Southern California continuing on her campaign trail.

According to the City News Service, tickets to the Newport Beach event ran $1,000 per person.

When asked last week by Fox News about the indictment, Haley was quick to assume the worst of Trump, saying “if this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security.”

 

5. Asa Hutchinson

Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson sat down with ABC News on Tuesday, telling the outlet that the indictment is “a very strong case.”

“Obviously, this is going to have to be tried. You’ve got to prove all of that. But as Bill Barr said, if half of that is approved, then it’s a very devastating case that’s being presented against the former president,” he said.

Hutchinson said he was “pleased” that more Republican leaders have stepped up to say “this is serious,” and that “more leaders are showing courage and saying this is serious and we should not dismiss it lightly.”

Hutchinson slammed Ramaswamy for saying he would pardon Trump. “It is wrong,” he said, “it is unjustified, it is a bad precedent.” Hutchinson said he would not support Trump if he is nominated but convicted.

6. Chris Christie

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who had been a Trump ally until the 2020 election, held a town hall event with CNN on Monday evening leading up to the arraignment, calling Trump a “3-time loser.”

7. Tim Scott

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott also held a campaign event on June 12 in his home state, saying that the indictment was “a serious case with serious allegations,” but added, “What we see today across this administration of President Joe Biden is a double standard.”

“That double standard is both un-American and unacceptable. You can’t protect Democrats while targeting and hunting Republicans,” he added.

Scott was also not in Miami on Tuesday and did not address the indictment.

What would be the problem with saying, “I know Donald Trump, and I don’t believe he committed any crimes against the United States”? Or “I’ve looked at the allegations and those making them, and I don’t think they have merit”? Or “An innocent man is being railroaded”? They are swamp creatures. 🐍 And they have learned nothing about Trump or his supporters.

Yours Truly is giving Ramaswary the “side-eye”for the time being. Both of his parents were immigrants from India. Did they become naturalized American citizens and when (before or after Vivek was born?) Then there’s the grant he received from the Paul and Daisy Soros Foundation — Paul Soros was George Soros’ older brother. (Perhaps the late Paul Soros did not share the same types of ideas that his brother has.)

pgroup2

I would argue that being permanent resident aliens [green card] is sufficient to impart citizenship by birth to Vivek.

Keep in mind that a green card means that the person is fully intending to be a US citizen. A bit different than someone here on a visa, which has a time limit.

citizen by birth is NOT the same as Natural Born Citizen!

Do not miss from 11 minutes where he explains the WHY of Israel. It was all about putting Jews esp Orthodox in place where they could later be exterminated. Once you understand that, you can understand the seeming Jew – Nazi coalition in Ukraine.

Kissinger (NAZI) even said that Israel will be no more in 10 years. He opposed the Abraham Accords so Trump FIRED HIM. (I did not know that Kissinger actually worked for Trump.)

Well that certainly jives with the near 100% vaccination rate in Israel. I could never understand that.

it seems like the godless left has discovered their real faith, and surprisingly, it’s not “climate change” as many believed.

Actual communist regimes have always been intolerant of homosexuality.

They have no problem pushing it in non-communist countries; they figure the strife if nothing else will weaken them, and they can possibly get homosexuals to ally with their own people, too.

That is true and they are tolerant of divorce or children out of wedlock. They are intolerant of any religion that comped with communism.

Former Disney Star Demi Lovato Uses She/Her Pronouns Again as She “Got Tired” of Using They/Them Pronouns: “It Was Absolutely Exhausting”

The pop star, in an interview with GQ Spain, said she “got tired” of having to continuously explain the meaning behind the use of they/them pronouns.

“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” said Lovato during the interview published Tuesday.

“And that is one of the reasons that have led me to also feel comfortable with the feminine pronoun. I just got tired,” she added.

It’s exhausting for anyone to have to stop and think before using something as natural as a part of speech. I hope this trend is starting to die.

NY AG Announces Manhattan Case Against Trump Will Be ‘Adjourned’
https://conservativebrief.com/ag-james-74087/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=019

On the heels of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on federal charges related to his handling of classified documents on Tuesday in Miami, Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, announced an update on the case filed against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Alex Wagneron on a panel at the Tribeca Film Festival, James said that the federal case will take precedence over both Bragg’s case, a case she has filed against The Trump Organization, and a potential case in Fulton County, Ga.

“In all likelihood, I believe that my case, as well as DA Bragg and the Georgia case, will, unfortunately, have to be adjourned pending the outcome of the federal case,” James said. “So it all depends upon the scheduling of this particular case. I know there’s gonna be a flood, a flurry of motions, motion to dismiss, discovery issues, all of that. So it really all depends. Obviously, all of us want to know what Judge [Aileen] Cannon is going to do and whether or not she’s going to delay this particular case.”

I looked up “adjourned” as it relates to court cases, and it just means that they are going to be put off for now. I take that as good news for Trump. Maybe he can win reelection before they resume, and then he can pardon himself. Or maybe something else will happen in the meantime to make them go away. At any rate, the media will be deprived of having three current cases to “report” on.

cthulhu

They’re state cases — he won’t be able to pardon himself. I read it as a concession that the cases are extremely weak.

Gail Combs

Bragg’s case is idiotic.

Trump is indicted for an INVOICE FROM Cohen TO the Trump organization — WTF??

Second Potus Trump was IN THE WHITE HOUSE and had already signed over ALL CONTROL of the Trump organization BEFORE the invoice was paid.

Third Cohen was a Trump/Trump Org LAWYER and KNOWN so some drone in book keeping go the invoice, saw it was from Cohen and paid it.

The case is weak as crap.

I was really hoping the Georgia case would happen and Trump would whip out TONS of voter fraud evidence FROM THE US MILITARY, showing FOREIGN interference… Well a girl can dream. 🤓

CIA-led Budweiser tanks classic American brand with help from algorithms and Big Con influencers so that a Mexican brand can establish market dominance over what was once American. And thus the balkanization and demoralization of America continues. The boycott was not organic. BTW, and I acknowledge this is likely a regional and/or ethnic thing, but I’ve never even seen Modelo on an advertisement or restaurant menu in my neck of the woods, so it all just adds to the “you’re living in an occupied country” alienation.

In 2013, Grupo Modelo was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev. However, the U.S. Justice Department required that AB InBev sell the rights to Corona and Modelo in the United States to Constellation Brands as part of an antitrust settlement.

Constellation Brands now owns the rights to Modelo in the United States. However, Grupo Modelo still produces and distributes the beer in Mexico.

From a link in that article, Jun 6, 2023:

Bud Light sales keep slipping. But it remains America’s top-selling beer
https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/06/business/bud-light-sales-update/index.html

Roughly two months after Bud Light endured a self-induced injury that torpedoed sales, the brand continues to lose ground to its competition. But there are signs the worst might be over.

Sales for the week leading into Memorial Day weekend fell 23.9% from the same period a year ago. That constitutes a slight improvement compared to the week prior when sales were 25.7% lower than a year earlier. That could indicate that the “bottom has been hit and we are seeing a turn-around in performance,” according to Bump Williams, an alcohol industry expert.

For the past several weeks, Bud Light sales declines have hovered around 25% weekly because of customer revolt following an Instagram partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. A single can bearing her face was given to her for a post, but some right-wing media attacked the brand, and some social media posts spewed transphobic comments. 

Anheuser-Busch’s tepid statement about the controversy also angered some LGBTQ+ groups.

In response, Anheuser-Busch (BUD) said it was bolstering marketing on Bud Light and would offer rebates to customers. Last weekend, the company offered $15 back on 15-packs of beer, leading to cases priced as low as $1.50 in some states, which Williams said contributed to part of its minor turnaround. 

Still, Bud Light remains the top-selling beer in America, according to NIQ data provided to CNN by Williams. NIQ measures sales at convenience, liquor and grocery stores across the United States. Bud Light has made up 35.1% of domestic beer sales this year (through May 27), according to NIQ. That easily beats No. 2 Coors Light, which controls 21.6% of the market.

Although Bud Light’s share of the domestic beer market has slipped considerably over the past couple months, it remains in the lead. In the week ended May 27, Bud Light controlled 28.8% of the market, compared to Coors Light, which made up 25.6% of overall sales, NIQ reported.

The biggest beneficiaries of Bud Light’s slipping sales continue to be MolsonCoors’ Miller Light and Coors Light, with sales up a whopping 26% and 23% respectively, according to NIQBeer Business Daily reported Monday that some distributors are reporting shortages, but a company spokesperson told CNN that its supply is strong for the summer.

Another bright spot is Modelo, distributed by Constellation Brands (STZ). Sales of its Modelo Especial and its recently launched low-carb beer Modelo Oro are strong, with sales up 9.5% and its share of the total beer category surpassing Bud Light last week, Williams said. He added that it’s “not a surprise” because of a halo effect from Cinco de Mayo and heavy advertising supporting its Oro launch.

Modelo is the top seller for May, not for the year.

And if you believe that Schiff, I have a bridge to sell you.

I do not think “Bud Light remains the top-selling beer in America” Not when the stores are shipping the shit back.

TheseTruths

Bud light is the top selling beer in America when you look at statistics for the entire year. The Mulvaney fiasco ad didn’t come out until April 1st. Over the next few months, if Bud Light’s sales continue to drop, it will no longer hold that position for the year.

Here in Michigan my hubby has bought Modelo a number of times, though I’ve not noticed an ad for them, not that we watch much TV & if we do we nearly always mute commercials…

The following is the first of 8 pages of information that I’ve aggregated over the years that’s very interesting to consider in light of the recent accusation that Joe Biden personally received a $5 Million bribe..

It’s a lot of information and I’m leaving it up to you readers to let know at what pace, or even if you have interest is seeing each successive page.

Page 1 of 8
Come and listen to my story about a man named Joe. A poor little man, couldn’t keep his son in blow. And then one day Joe became a righteous dude, and he built himself a cartel, dealing foreign crude. Oil that is, black gold.

On the same day that it was announced that President Trump was being indicted for national security offenses, FBI Director Christopher Wray decided that he would finally let the House Oversight Committee Chairman, (Decepticon) James Comer and the committee members “look” at the FD-1023 interview document but that they may not have the document or any copies of such under the usual cover-all…it was information involved in “on-going investigations.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene came out after viewing the pages of the heavily redacted document and before prearranged microphones, she declared that there was evidence that Joe Biden had been personally paid by Burisma to affect Ukraine policy during 2015-2016. On June 14, 2023, it comes to light that the FBI had redacted any mention of audio tapes from the FD-1023 form that the FBI presented to the House Oversight Committee. Senator Chuck Grassley, had seen the FD-1023 which had been slightly redacted and it outlined 17 audio tapes in the possession of the individual accusing Biden of bribery.

All media refer to the payer of the alleged $5 Million bribe payment as being “Burisma.” Although it has been speculated that the Foreign National is Burisma’s owner or a Burisma executive, no specific person has been identified as being the Ukrainian Foreign National behind the payment….Funny that.

The allegations in the FD-1023 appear to have occurred in 2015 & 2016.

In 2015-2016 while Hunter Biden was being paid to “sit on the board,” Burisma Oil & Gas was involved in three major energy deals that were taking place. The deals involved China’s CEFC State Energy, Kazakhstan KMG State Energy, Romania KMGInternational and of course, Ukraine’s Burisma.

In order to do business, one needs a financial institution in which to conduct trade with foreign entities and one needs a bank if one chooses to launder funds or if one writes a check to pay for the services of a Vice President of the United States of America.

In 2010 when Joe Biden was the US Vice President and Hillary Clinton was the US Secretary of State there existed two banks in Ukraine that are of note.

litenmaus

Page 2 of 8

The Credit Dnipro Bank was/(is?) owned by oligarch Viktor Pinchuk. Credit Dnipro Bank focused on the agricultural industry and Pinchuk’s bank was heavily entangled with not only the financial industry, but transportation, construction, oil and gas and “development” industries as well.

During Hillary Clinton’s term as Secretary of State, Viktor Pinchuk held the top space on the list of financial donors to the Clinton Foundation.   Viktor Pinchuk is a major “patron” of the anti-Russian Non-Governmental Organization based in Washington DC, The Atlantic Council. 

AND

— Privat Bank. 
Ihor Kolomoyskyi, Ukrainian oligarch, the richest man in Ukraine, is the founder, the main controlling director & the largest shareholder of PrivatBank.  

The second director & shareholder of PrivatBank was Mykolo Zlochevsky. Between 2010 & 2012 while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and Joe Biden was the Vice President, Zlochevsky was the Ukraine Minister of Natural Resources. Zlochevsky is credited as the founder & owner of Burisma Oil & Gas and as the co-founder of PrivatBank. 

[In 2011 one of the assets held by Privat Bank was Burisma Gas & Oil, so officially, PrivatBank owned Burisma, not Zlochevsky.]

The third director & shareholder of PrivatBank who was responsible for the control of PrivatBank was Gennadiy Bogolyubov, another corrupt oligarch in Ukraine.

In 2012, a color revolution was put into motion by the US State Department against the Ukraine incumbent government. The Azov activists involved in the rioting, murders and uprisings involved during the “revolution” were funded by Ihor Kolomoysky. 

On February 24, 2014, the American led coup against the Russian friendly Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was completed. Yanukovych and supporters fled the country and it is discovered that $ 40 BILLION in assets and Ukraine monies had disappeared from the government coffers and not all of that was due to theft by the Yanukovych administration.
.
In gratitude for funding & providing his Azov militia to aid in the Color Revolution, newly acting President Arseniy Yatsenyuk appoints Ihor Kolomoysky as the Governor of the Dniper Oblast where Kolomoysky’s Azov militia would be legitimized by a US/NATO built military and would be set loose to kill “Russian backed separatists” aka men, women and children, in the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile the missing funds created critical strain on the Kiev offices ability to keep the doors open and cover the day to day expense of running the country whose President had just been overthrown.  

Enter into the story, working in the background, an industrious little unassuming Ukrainian Prosecutor by the name of Viktor Shokin.

Enter into the story, working in the background, an industrious little unassuming Ukrainian Prosecutor by the name of Viktor Shokin. Viktor Shokin begins the process of seeing if he can locate and recover any of the missing $40 BILLION. He sends out his world-wide probes and fraud departments in banks are alerted and begin to respond.

Shokin successfully tracks down $ 23 Million dollars that had been laundered from Ukraine, to Cyprus, through Latvia and into the United Kingdom. The funds originated with Mykola Zlochevsky.

On March 11, 2014, at the request of Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, The Bank of London freezes Zlochevskys funds.
(Although Zlochevsky was the 2nd largest shareholder of PrivatBank in which $5.65 Billion went missing. This event triggers the final time that Mykola Zlochevsky’s name is linked with Privat Bank in litigation.)

On April 2, 2014 Novatus, solely owned by a young Kazakstan oligarch [Kenes(Kenges) Rakishev] wires $ 143,000 to Hunter’s “investment company” Rosemont Seneca…The memo on the wire says “for a car”

On April 4, 2014 Hunter Biden joined the Board of Directors of Burisma Oil and Gas. The hiring was made public on April 13 after Hunter had corresponded with the Vice Presidents press office as to how the responses to questions regarding his appointment were to be phrased. 

May 21, 2014, Vice President Joe Biden flies to Romania

In June of 2014, Mykola Zlochevsky doing business as Burisma Oil and Gas enters into partnership with KMGInternational based in Romania.

On June 7, 2014 Petro Porochenko, another Ukrainian oligarch, became the President of a Ukraine. The real power behind Ukraine was the Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk who was specifically chosen by US Assistant to the Secretary, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt. Yatsenyuk would be used as the conduit between the US State Department and the Ukrainian Parliament to introduce legislation to change the course of Ukraine.  Geoffrey Pyatt was appointed as Ambassador to Ukraine on June 30, 2014.

On June 27, 2014 while lobbying to secure more U.S. funding, either directly or through entities like the Export-Import Bank, to improve Ukraine’s domestic energy production potential, Senator (D) Edward Markey of Massachusetts & three other Democratic senators, wrote President Obama a letter calling for increased aid. “We should leverage the full resources and expertise of the U.S. government to assist Ukraine in improving its energy efficiency, increasing its domestic production, and reforming its energy markets,” wrote Markey, who has also proposed legislation with about $40 million in additional aide for Ukrainian energy development.

Markey’s letter was trumpeted by Burisma Holdings as a commendable move towards securing the future security of Ukraine. “Burisma Holdings today applauded the range of U.S. legislative support for development of Ukraine’s broad and untapped resources and an increase in transparency and good governance,” the company said in a statement on the day the Markey letter was released.

In September of 2014, an audit is performed and it is officially announced that $1.8 Billion in USAID & $1.1 Billion in International Monetary Fund moneys that had been deposited into PrivatBank has disappeared. Poof. Gone.

December 19, 2014 Burisma/Kazahstan officials visit the site of proposed oil field development. Zlochevskyi met with the Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Mossimov and Foreign Minister Yerlan Idrisov to discuss the prospects of joint cooperation, including plans to provide Burisma Holdings with the Strategic Partner status.

Besides Mr Zlochevskyi, Burisma Holdings’s delegation also included an independent director Devon Archer, Adviser to the Burisma Board, Vadym Pozharskyi and a team of geologists and drilling specialists. The parties agreed to hold further talks on the main commercial, technical and contractual terms, including on the creation of a number of joint ventures with “KazMunaiGas” subsidiaries. As a side Note: Burisma director Vadym Pozharskyi can be directly tied to Hunter Biden and Metabiota.

December 22, 2014, Burisma signs a cooperation agreement with KazMunayGas [KMG] the national oil and gas company of Kazakhstan.

EXCLUSIVEFormer Head of FBI J6 Pipe Bomb Investigation Comes Clean With Stunning Admission: “I Don’t Want Any Conspiracy Theories, Right?”June 14, 2023 (4h ago)

FTA:

According to Jim Jordan’s letter, Congressman Thomas Massie asked D’Antuono whether they attempted to identify the pipe bomber via geofencing, and received the following shocking answer: the data was corrupted! The telecom company just by sheer coincidence happened to lose the data for that particular place and time!
Here’s D’Antuono’s answer when asked about geofencing (emphasis ours):

“So the – there’s a lot of phone data that came in. Yes, I’ve seen the same video. I’ve watched the same video. We put out the same video. It looks like a phone. Was it a real phone, a not a real phone, was it a ruse? Was it a – you know, I picked up my phone several times at meetings going, oh, yeah, I got to take this call, and walk out, right. The phone’s not on, right. So was the person just sitting there trying to pretend like they’re on a bench taking a phone call? We don’t know until we find the person, right, and ask them those questions.
We did a complete geofence. We have complete data. Not complete, because there’s some data that was corrupted by one of the providers, not purposely by them, right. It just – unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the providers. I’m not sure – I can’t remember right now which one. But for that day, which is awful because we don’t have that information to search. So could it have been that provider? Yeah, with our luck, you know, with this investigation it probably was, right. So maybe if we did have that – that data wasn’t corrupted – and it wasn’t purposely corrupted. I don’t want any conspiracy theories, right. To my knowledge, it wasn’t corrupted, you know, but that could have been good information that we don’t have, right. So that is painful for us not to have that. So we looked at everything.”

“…It’s time to demand the answers that the American people deserve; no matter how dark, no matter how damning. Stay tuned. This thing is going to get a lot uglier.”

If it were near true, he’d have the phone numbers of three people at that company memorized by now while trying to get to the bottom of it. What B.S.

2015-2016 are the years involved with the Bribery involving Joe Biden

Installment 5 of 8

January 22, 2015, the British government issues a release stating that they are dropping criminal charges against Mykola Zlochevsky and his $23 Million has been unfrozen.

In March of 2015, the Ukrainian parliament wrested away from Ihor Kolomoisky, his controlling shareholding of the Ukraine state-owned enterprise, Ukrtransnafta.   Note: Ukrtransnafta is the enterprise in charge of the transfer of oil through the Ukraine pipelines.

Ihor Kolomoysky was the controlling shareholder of the company responsible for the transit of oil and gas, while at the same time he was the controlling shareholder of the bank that was bankrolling the expansion of Burisma Oil & Gas….a lucrative situation for both Burisma and Kolomoysky

In response to parliaments ruling, Ihor Kolomoisky ordered his 2000 man private Azov militia to storm the Kiev headquarters of Ukrtransnafta.

President Porochenko and Ihor Kolomoysky part friendly ways. Ukrtransnafta is nationalized by Porochenko and Kolomoysky steps down as Governor of Dnipro and leaves the country.

Prosecutor Shokin receives a letter from the Latvia Anti-Corruption Money Laundering Agency in which they detailed concerns of further laundering activities and on the list of suspected money manipulators is interestingly enough, Hunter Biden.

April 16, 2015 Vice President Joe Biden meets at the Café Milano in Washington DC with Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev [Metabiota connection] and the head of Kazahstan’s National Security Intelligence Office and negotiator between Burisma & the Kazakhstan Government, Karim Mossimov.

In 2015 Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov are sued by Viktor Pinchuk doing business as Credit Dnipro Bank. Pinchuk claims that he paid PrivatBank $243 Million to acquire the iron ore mining rights of a Ukraine mining company. Kolomoysky and Bogolyubov never deliver the intangible “rights”. [note…even though he was a major shareholder & director of Privat Bank, Mykola Zlochevsky is not named in this lawsuit] 

On January 22, 2016 although he had only sued for his lost $243 Million, the Ukrainian anti-corruption courts awarded Viktor Pinchuk $1 Billion. And just like that 760 Million is laundered through Privat Bank…..….But $1.8 Billion of stolen US aid money is still missing.

On May 25, 2016 Romanian Prime Minister, Dacian Ciolos meets with US Vice President Joe Biden

Meanwhile, Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was able to take the Latvian “concerns” and he was able to trace money back to Cyprus, to 43 shell Companies, all owned by Ihor Kolomoysky. The loans (a most effective way to launder money), that were held by those 43 Shell Companies came to a total of…..wait for it……exactly $1.8 Billion.

Two short months later, On March 29, 2016 under a US Vice Presidential threat of withheld aid funds, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko bows to Joe Biden and terminates the employment of Ukrainian Prosecutor Victor Shokin. The investigation into laundered & stolen funds is dismantled.

Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian oligarch who was being accused of acquiring land to build a mall at below market price in Bucharest, contacts Hunter Biden on June 18, 2016. Hunter Biden reaches out in an email to Judge and former FBI Director Louis Freeh about the case of Gabriel Popoviciu. “Time is of the essence and my client has never balked at bringing whatever team it takes together at whatever cost to obtain justice.”

July 8, 2016, Freeh sends email telling Hunter that he, Freeh would “like to make a small payment to you for this referral-and for your continuing work on this matter. This is a standard practice…We would just need your bank information in order to make a remittance.
Freeh gives $100,000 to a trust that had been set up for Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

On September 8, 2016 Karim Mossimov, who was involved in the partnership negotiations between Burisma Oil and Gas & Kazakhstan’s KazMunaiGaz becomes the Head of Kazakhstan’s Intelligence Division. (He holds the office until his arrest for treason in January 2022)

On December 18, 2016 after finding a shortfall of $5.65 Billion on the books, Privat Bank is nationalized by Ukrainian puppet President, Petro Porochenko, in order to “safeguard financial stability.”   Ihor Kolomoisky challenges the Nationalization. 

PrivatBank was nationalized as part of a clean-up of the banking system backed by the International Monetary Fund, which supports Ukraine with a $3.9 billion loan program.
So who holds Burisma as an asset? Was Burisma Nationalized? 

In December of 2016, Chinese state-owned China Energy Company Limited (CEFC) received the Romanian authorities’ approval to take over a controlling stake in KMG International (KMGI), the former Rompetrol group (Romania’s richest man, Dina Patriciu, sold Rompetrol to KazMunaiGaz in 2007…Dina Patriciu also sat on the Advisory Board for The Atlantic Council)

 “This joint venture will benefit from the potential of Kazakhstan’s energy resources and China’s financial resources,” said Zhanat Tussupbekov, KMG International general manager. He added that projects in Romania will get a special attention, because it is the country where the KMGI group has its main assets.

On January 19, 2017 Burisma Oil & Gas enters into a “cooperative agreement” with The Atlantic Council. According to Mikolo Zlochevsky, President of Burisma Group the Atlantic Council has played a vital role in Ukraine in championing transatlantic relations, democracy, and energy security.

July 28, 2017 Chinese company China Energy Company Limited (CEFC) has received the Romanian authorities’ approval to take over a controlling stake in KMG International (KMGI), the former Rompetrol group.

August 2, 2017 – Hunter Biden enters rental contract deal with Jianming Ye, Chairman of the Chinese state owned China Energy Conglomerate [CEFC]

Jianming Ye, CEO of state owned CEFC and involved in the Romanian negotiations and business partner with Hunter Biden goes missing.

Joe Biden Files his 2017 Tax Return and shows “other income” in the amount of $10 Million.

July 9, 2018 It is announced that China’s CEFC will not buy a majority stake in Kazmunaigas International (KMGI), owned by Kazakhstan’s state-owned oil and gas firm Kazmunaigas.

November 30, 2018 Kazakhstan’s gas supply company, KazTransGas, and the state-owned KazMunayGas unveil three new high-tech compressing stations to increase the capacity of the Kazakhstan-China gas pipeline earlier this week.

Meanwhile, In 2018, leading up to a 2019 Presidential election, Ihor Kolomoysky campaigns hard against Incumbent President Petro Poroshenko. Kolomoysky becomes a main benefactor to the Volodymyr Zelensky presidential campaign and provides his media empire and unlimited funding to the cause of unseating Petro Poroshenko.

In April 2019 four days before the Ukrainian Presidential election, The Kyiv District Administrative Court ruled the nationalization of PrivatBank illegal.

The ruling is a big setback for the Ukraine government, which wrested PrivatBank from Kolomoisky, in December 2016.

April 21, 2019 Zelensky was elected as President of Ukraine.

For Ukraine’s new government, legal decisions in favor of Kolomoisky would have serious implications in its bid to address graft, limit the influence of wealthy businessmen and convince the International Monetary Fund to extend its loan program with the country. The dispute also poses questions for Volodymyr Zelensky, the comedian turned president of Ukraine, who has vowed to crack down on graft but who also has links to Kolomoisky.

In April 2019 Hunter Biden strolled into a computer shop and dropped off three laptops for repair. The documents found within Hunter Biden’s correspondence confirm the link of Joe & Hunter Biden to oil & gas holdings in Romania, Kazakhstan & Ukraine.

In April 2019, the US Federal Bureau of investigation announce that it is investigating Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky over alleged financial crimes.

May 2019 The International Monetary Fund says they’re ready to resume loans to Ukraine.

July 25, 2019 President Trump and President Zelensky speak by phone, Trump mentions that some say the Biden’s are corrupt and the US State Department unleash their attack of impeachment with the narrative that President Trump was holding back critical Aid funds desperately needed by Ukraine.

In October of 2019 the London Court of Appeals upholds a worldwide freezing order against the assets of Ihor Kolomoysky and Gennady Bogolyubov.[But not Zlochevsky]

In December of 2019 during the House Impeachment trials over Trump’s perfect phone call, Representative from Florida, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was sitting on the Judiciary Committee during the trials and the media helped her hide her family’s conflict of interest after taking more than $700,000 from Ihor Kolomoyskyi.

June 2020 –The unnamed Foreign National is interviewed and the FBI FD-1023 form allegedly documents the allegations of bribery between Joe Biden and an unnamed Foreign National.

In March of 2021, the US State Department enacts sanctions against Ihor Kolomoyskyi and he is banned from entering the United States.

February 24, 2022, Russia enters Ukraine with the intent of de-nazi-fying the Donbass and bringing Ukraine to the negotiation table.

March 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invokes emergency powers and will merge all Ukrainian national television into a single government media entity called “United News” to disseminate only the approved messaging of the Ukraine Government. Ihor Kolomoysky’s media empire once used to misinform on Zelensky during the election campaign is now absorbed by the Kiev Regime led by the very man who was elected, Volodymyr Zelensky

February 1, 2023…Joe Biden’s favorite agency in Ukraine, an agency that is under the full control of the US Government, the Ukraine National Anti Corruption Unit, raids the home of Billionaire businessman, Ihor Kolomoyski who is now being investigated for evading Customs payments and embezzling a mere 1 Million in Euros worth of oil products.

March 31, 2023…The International Monetary Fund offers $15.6 BILLION as part of the US $115 BILLION support package for Ukraine.

Final Installment 8

The lawsuits against Ihor Kolomoysky & Gennadiy Bogolyubov continue. The Ukraine Anti Corruption bureau filed a lawsuit against the two and yesterday,

June 12, 2023, Reuters reports that Representatives from the Kiev Nationalized Private Bank appeared in a London Court and accused Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov of using “absolute power” to siphon off nearly $2 billion from the country’s largest bank.

Nationalized PrivatBank’s lawsuit accuses Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov of orchestrating sham loans and supply agreements between 2013 and 2014 to defraud the Ukraine government on an “epic scale”. 

The fact that, at the moment, Mykola Zlochevsky’s where-abouts are unknown does lead credence to the possibility that he may be the Burisma person involved and his may be the signature on the payment of a $ 5 Million bribe paid to citizen Joe Biden after he left the Vice-President’s Office.

However, I am inclined to consider that the Director of PrivatBank, Ihor Kolomoysky, a man who had USAID & International Monetary Funds passing through his bank, who was working directly with Mykola Zlochevsky, a man who was reaping benefits from Burisma’s deals with China, Romania, Ukraine and Kazakstan, a man that the Kiev regime is trying to take down and a man that the US Government has banned from entry into the United States, might actually be the man in possession of recordings of financial dealings that tie Joe Biden to bribery.

Mindor, Philippines. 6.2 quake.

~200 miles away. Felt it. Damn rocking chair, rocked left and right. (I don’t drink.)

Hey when you go over do you stay a minimum of a month? Used to work w several philipinos who said a minimum 1 month when they went hone.

kalbokalbs

Yes, very common for Filipino’s to visit a month or longer. Travel time and cost major factors. Direct flight Frisco – Manila 14 hours. Many or most, go via Japan or South Korea. Add several hours. Then travel from Manila to wherever. <<< ~Seven hours in our case. Travel time gets ridiculous.

Our stay is typically 3-4 weeks.

This visit, just shy of two months. Mainly cuz our last visit was Nov 2019, pre Covidiocy.

Future visits back to 3-4 weeks.

Valerie Curren

Hope you are All having a wonderful time!!!

What, you weren’t getting enough quakes over here — you have to chase them half way ’round the planet?

Valerie Curren

Antarctic shenanigans? See Wolf’s late comment on Tuesday’s thread 😉

kalbokalbs

Thanks. I was hoping Wolf or someone would chime in on that one.

Valerie Curren

I am by far the least of these in the Wolf Pack! 🙂 Glad you guys are OK!

Mordor?

Frodo Lives 🙂

I’ve read that the “Ring Of Fire” gets more active when the Sun is heading into a less active phase (although it’s supposedly at solar max now)… With any luck, SF, DC, LA, Chicago, and all the other DEMONRAT pits will get fire and brimstone…

Keep an arch or a doorframe over your noggin’ when your chair is rocking…

Hope everyone’s OK out your way!

Bill Gates in China: Microsoft co-founder to meet Xi JinpingBy Julie Zhu
June 14, 202312:43 PM EDTUpdated 10 hours ago

FTA:

HONG KONG, June 14 (Reuters) – Bill Gates, Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O) co-founder, is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday during his visit to China, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
The meeting will mark Xi’s first meeting with a foreign private entrepreneur in recent years. The people said the encounter may be a one-on-one meeting. A third source confirmed they would meet, without providing details.

Several foreign CEOs have visited China since it reopened early this year but most have mainly met with government ministers.
Premier Li Qiang met a group of foreign CEOs including Apple’s (AAPL.O) Tim Cook in March and a source told Reuters that Tesla’s (TSLA.O) Elon Musk met vice-premier Ding Xuexiang last month.
The mood of the foreign business community towards China, however, has turned cautious as Sino-U.S. tensions intensify and Xi increases the country’s focus on national security.

Gates’ visit also comes ahead of a long-delayed visit by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China set to take place between June 18-19 which is aimed at stabilizing relations between the world’s two largest economies and strategic rivals.

Blinken had a tense call with China’s foreign minister Qin Gang on Wednesday, during which Qin urged the United States to stop meddling in its affairs and harming its security.
