Note from DePat:

Happy Friday! This will be REALLY short and sweet as I was with my mother for out-patient surgery on Thursday most of the morning (CRASHED all afternoon and evening), and the pre-op work up team discovered a previously undetected issue. Let’s just say, for everyone here, please implore your vaxxed family and friends to request EKGs at their next appointments with their primary care team. Or sooner. We were at a hospital my family normally doesn’t use, and that step was added to the pre-op prep, and may very well have saved us a lot of grief down the line. Mom now is stalking cardiologists. So, my apologies for this not being quite up to DePat standards.

About the sub “lost” or “imploded” which raised red flags for many of us:

Long story short, mother WEFers were “aboard.”

Good questions that should all be on the table.

Several of us thought that from the beginning.

2 CORINTHIANS 11:18, 21-30

18since many boast of worldly things, I too will boast.) 21To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of — I am speaking as a fool — I also dare to boast of that. 22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one — I am talking like a madman — with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea; 26on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren; 27in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? 30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

PSALMS 34:2-7

1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

MATTHEW 6:19-23

19“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, 20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; 23but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

So many songs in these passages.

Yay!!! for our heroic De Pat, who took the time to bring forth a post with memes and links and verses and stuff, even while dealing with a family crisis.

May she rest well, and receive support and comfort from Our Lord.

Alison

Still, it’s alarming confirmation that the vaxxed need to assess their heart health, among other things. I hope your Mom’s issue will be easily resolved.

Thanks for your fantastic openers night after night, DPat. I’m always eager to see what header photo you choose!

Linda

Prayers for your mom, DePat.

The problem with getting family to get EKGs is that I don’t think health insurance or medicare will pay for them unless there is a documented reason for ordering them. Obamacare has pretty much put the medical profession under the control of insurance companies and pencil pushers who control the practices of most doctors these days.

And then there’s the problem of getting my family to think they need one. They think the shots are just fine. Thankfully, none of them seem to be showing any ill effects from the shots thus far.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Absolutely right that you need a reason, but the reasons are now a low bar. Just being on Medicare gets an annual “quickie” one now for me, with my insurance, whether I want it or not.

Unusual chest pains of any kind will get that EKG faster than you can say “pericarditis or myocarditis”. Palpitations, shortness of breath on exertion – plenty of symptoms will get that EKG now!

kalbokalbs

Exactly.

The Medical care system is all too ready to figure a way to bill, the cash cow, Medicare.

Folks with Medicare and a secondary payer, (BCBS, Kaiser, etc.), medical care providers are nothing short of jubilant.

I swear I see it spoken, that that clearly, but various comments quacks make, every visit.

Medical care is a racket to jack up increase billing…tests, scripts, referrals…test, scripts, referral… Rinse. Repeat.

I wondered if you would have an opinion on that. It seems that in some cases people have been able to get around waivers and still sue. But from what I’ve read, these waivers were very comprehensive.

I will say this – I’m impressed with modern cardiology. Between drugs that work (though they prescribe way too much), procedures that avoid 99% of the dangers, and stents or devices that solve damn near everything, it has come a LONG way. I was fortunate to need absolutely minimal care, but many people around me who should be dead are walking around fit as fiddles after treatment.

kalbokalbs

Absolutely.

They do incredible procedures to save lives and prolong lives.

Catturd:

So let me get this straight …

The Biden regime knew the submarine imploded Sunday – but used their media propagandists to push the “they’re running out of oxygen” story all week to deflect from Hunter’s crimes?

God save us from these scumbags and lowlifes.

Sickening.

I’ve been trying to imagine what it was like for the family members. They heard on Sunday or Monday that the Navy thought there had been an explosion but could not say definitively. If I were in the families’ position, I would not want it announced until they knew for sure. That gave the families some time to deal with the news and to know what to expect. It was not important for the public to know. The search had to continue in any case so they could determine what had happened.

It would not surprise me to learn that there was an agreement with the families to continue the “rescue” narrative until they had proof of an explosion. Continuing with a rescue operation was the only appropriate thing to do until they knew for sure that the crew had perished.

scott467

“I’ve been trying to imagine what it was like for the family members.”

_________

That’s because you’re normal.

TCTB could not care less about the family members, the family members don’t even rise to the level of pawns to them.

Look how all of the governments involved treat their own populations. Does that hatred of the People suddenly morph into tender loving care, if you survive a bio-weapon attack and a global genocide vaccination, but then go missing in a submersible?

They hate us and they want us dead.

They are not our friends.

.

The claim: “They heard on Sunday or Monday that the Navy thought there had been an explosion but could not say definitively.”

_________

The truth: The military better have known definitively, and almost instantly.

If they can’t say definitively in less than about 5 minutes what that implosion sound was, then we should scrap the entire global early warning system and the trillions that have been poured into it over the last 7+ decades.

They have equipment to track the most quiet submarines in the world, everywhere a submarine could go, and the ability to distinguish acoustic anomalies from however many millions of naturally occurring acoustic phenomena they have recorded over the past 80+ years. They have the most advanced analysis and equipment that money can buy, in the whole world, and above it.

It’s laughable that the lead speaker on Wednesday pretended as if they didn’t already know, as if it might take days, while a carrier pigeon flew an 8-track cassette tape to subject matter experts at some government facility across the world.

EVERYTHING is a lie.

.

TheseTruths

EVERYTHING is a lie.

I’m not disputing that; just asking what you think happened.

Here are a couple of theories I’ve seen.

One is that there was no submarine mission, that the people supposedly on board are now cooperating witnesses and are in hiding, and that they have knowledge about Epstein. So we have four prominent people and the son of one of them, and in order to take them out of circulation, someone cooks up a scheme where they supposedly board a submarine that explodes, and this story requires untold expense, danger, and man hours to support it — when the same people could have just been placed on a theoretical plane that “crashed” if they needed to disappear. There are people who believe the entire submarine story is a psyop.

Separately, Zach Vorhies’ theory, from the open, is that the Titanic was blown up in 1912 instead of hitting an iceberg and that missions to view the Titanic are too risky for the WEF because they might discover that the hull buckled out from an explosion instead of buckled in from hitting an iceberg. (Never mind that it is said not that the iceberg buckled the hull in, but that it caused the rivets to come loose, causing the hull to fall apart.) He thinks that it’s suspicious that OceanGate was getting allowed to make these trips to view the Titanic. At the same time, Vorhies says the OceanGate company is funded by the Rothschilds, so go figure.

He says, “But this event will be used as leverage to make the titanic off limits by visitation by the citizens of the west so that the narrative of the Federal Reserve is preserved.”

The people who propagate these theories are the same ones who complain that the media is distracting us from Hunter or other news items. So while they come up with elaborate theories that require time to parse, they accuse others of distracting us.

scott467

“I’m not disputing that; just asking what you think happened.”

__________

So far, I’m not aware of any good reason to think it didn’t happen as it appears, that the CEO of OceanGate was a wokester with more money than sense, and took 3 wealthy customers (with a similar lack of sense) on a 3-hour tour.

Seems absurdly unlikely that such an elaborate hoax would be contemplated in order to make 5 people disappear without really dying.

We’re not living in a James Bond movie. If for some reason 3 unrelated people along with a father and son had some knowledge that caused them to need to go into witness protection, you just do that. If the submersible disaster was a con, it’s certainly not going to fool nation-state intelligence agencies, and anyone they would go to this much effort to disappear from would have access to nation-state level intelligence agencies.

About the Zach Vorhies theory, I suspect that ice-breaker ships cutting through a sheet of surface ice, even ice several feet thick (and hopefully with some sort of protective plow-like attachment to the bow of the ship) is a whole different matter than running into the equivalent of a floating mountain, like an iceberg.

In any event, recent hi-rez scans have been published, showing the wreckage of the Titanic in greater detail than ever before, even making the serial number on one of the propellers readable.

The bow of the ship, where the waterline would have been, appears to be buried 60+ feet or more under the surface of the bottom of the ocean.

So I don’t think anyone is going to get a good look at the hole anytime soon, at least not without draining the ocean and getting some backhoes down there.

And that’s not gonna be cheap, that I can tell you.

Plus, you have to find somewhere to put all the water.

And put it back, when you’re done.

The two men who were lookouts in the crow’s nest, Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee, were the first to spot the iceberg. Both survived because they were ordered to command lifeboats. So we have firsthand accounts of eye witnesses who were present at the time that it was an iceberg, not an explosion.

In any event, recent hi-rez scans have been published, showing the wreckage of the Titanic in greater detail than ever before, even making the serial number on one of the propellers readable.

👍🏼 Internet influencers who talk out of their…hats are not helping because a) they don’t research and present factual data, but only that which supports their theories, and b) others will believe their theories and spread them, also without looking at facts that would disprove them. Even when presented with such facts, they will not be swayed. It’s an amazing phenomenon.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The attitude of many that anything…absolutely anything…said by someone in authority must, ipso facto, be a lie doesn’t help.

Yes, it’s good to be skeptical, but sometimes they aren’t lying. If nothing else they have to be truthful some of the time or the people they are trying to sucker won’t believe them when they do lie.

pgroup2

Your closing sentence might be the most important truth disclosed this year. Everybody needs to know this, and all its related facts.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

“No cover like the truth!”

TheseTruths

Exactly. That’s why I will read and post data from some mainstream media articles. Many times they cover things that alternative news media doesn’t, and they will present factual data, especially when it’s not in their interest to editorialize.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

This is an important principle of history actually. The further back you go the more reliant you are on written sources we’re very lucky to have (we know of many lost documents from antiquity, and we know about the lost ones because they’re mentioned in the documents we do have).

The guys who wrote the documents are human and the subject matter was important to them (else why bother to write out longhand on (then) expensive media). Therefore they are biased and we can presume some of what they wrote is wrong either due to bias or even a willingness to lie. But the documents aren’t worthless, because there are ways to detect a likely lie, and sometimes even to figure out what the truth was, from the lie. One of these is, as you mentioned, a situation where they have no interest in lying. Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.

scott467

“Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.”

_____________

One of the many evidences of the Scriptures.

They record all sorts of immoral / violent / disobedient things said and done, including those kinds of things which were said and done by all the good guys.

Also positive testimony by hostile witnesses.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Actually this sort of analysis has another use.

Ultimately our knowledge of scripture comes from very old manuscripts, which suffer from a couple of problems. One is typical scribal errors (misspellings, the occasional repeated or skipped line, etc). These form the vast majority of differences between the old manuscripts. But sometimes there’s actually a substantive difference; these are often highlighted with footnotes in more recent translations of the Bible. These can range from one word in length to entire chapters “missing” (or perhaps “added”). Essentially if one variant looks worse for the author’s cause (not necessarily the author himself, but his cause) than the other, then all other things the same it’s more likely the original version and other people tried to “fix” it in their manuscripts.

Valerie Curren

funny I just commented on that quote pointing to scripture Before reading your better expressed take! We keep being on a “twinsie” roll it seems 😉

Valerie Curren

Another is a situation which makes the author, or his cause, look bad; if he records it, it’s likely that he was being honest because people generally lie to avoid such things.”

Ironically I believe this is one of the mechanisms whereby certain scriptural accounts are considered to be more truthful than might otherwise be expected, given the human tendency to lie/exaggerate to make ourselves look better or more noble than we actually are 🙂

cthulhu

That said, they probably don’t have too many acoustic samples of a carbon-fiber pressure vessel collapsing because so few people would ever dive with such a thing.

Valerie Curren

pgroup2

Well … that was my thought.

scott467

“That said, they probably don’t have too many acoustic samples of a carbon-fiber pressure vessel collapsing because so few people would ever dive with such a thing.”

_________

Probably not.

On the other hand, considering how much the gov’t wastes (as an apparent virtue), it would not surprise me that they have done full size mock-ups of carbon fiber submersibles, purely to implode them at depth, in order to record the sound, in order to recognize it from any of the other undersea sounds in their audio database.

But whether they do or they don’t, it is certain that they know what an underwater implosion sounds like, as opposed to any naturally occurring audio phenomena, and anything making that type of sound at the time and place of the missing submersible…

When we have to bend over backwards to come up with excuses why they might not know, we can be confident they knew.

At least I am 😂

kalbokalbs

Speaking of governments, some things are worth repeating.

They hate us and they want us dead.

They are not our friends.

TheseTruths

If they had made public that they thought there had been an explosion on Sunday or Monday, the story would still have sucked the oxygen out of the news cycle because no one would not have known for sure whether the crew was alive. We still would have heard about the 96 hours of life support, in case they were mistaken about the explosion. That would have happened until they found pieces of wreckage.

scott467

This Navy sub veteran knew they were dead two days ago, and said so. Took me five minutes to find it again, no idea why it would be so hard to find now:

(19.35): “so the Titan began its descent with five Souls on board, uh contact was lost after an hour and 40 minutes, and contact was never re-established.

And uh, I really feel terrible for all the families involved because your family members are dead, and it hurts me to say that, but it’s the truth and I hope this video helps give you some closure, help, helping you know what probably happened.

We’ll know more in the coming days, I’ll probably do a follow-up to this, but I hope this video helps you process what’s, what’s happened this past week.”

TheseTruths

Yes, I remember that from when I watched the video. But he is not part of the official investigation. His conclusion seems to be based on the fact that contact ceased. He didn’t mention an explosion, and I doubt he knew that they suspected one.

scott467

I had the impression that his conclusion was based on a career in Navy submarines, and professional knowledge of the inherent dangers of a 12,000 foot dive, after assessing the OceanGate website and listening to the interview with the CEO.

12,000 feet down, with a half-baked captain, in an improvised home-brew carbon fiber submersible, with a Nintendo blue-tooth controller, no apparent safety features, no apparent oxygen scrubbers, no communication (because the skipper didn’t like to be bothered during his joy rides…) a hatch sealed from the outside (and more), seemed to be enough for the retired professional submariner to reach the same conclusion I did.

It was a one-way trip.

Darwin Awards to all.

kalbokalbs

pgroup2

Satan sent a pride demon [not the new kind of pride] to influence them to suspend disbelief.

It worked – the dive was infested with demonically influenced/possessed humans.

TheseTruths

And all of those things you mention are supported by reports over several years of people who had dealings with the company, saying things were too lax. The lack of care didn’t just pop up as a ruse to support some theory of “disappearing”; it was how they operated all along.

I have always considered Biosphere II a great success, being that it kept it from being attempted 30+ years later in a less-accessible location.

pgroup2

Despite the fact that none of the crew had backgrounds in the appropriate sciences?

cthulhu

Yup.

It was an experiment that forced several changes of thinking. It recontextualized all of the underlying assumptions.

Mind you, there were probably cheaper and safer ways of finding out the same information — but nobody was looking from those angles.

At the end of the first round, someone should have been singing:

This was a triumph

I’m making a note here, “Huge success”

It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake

You just keep on trying ’til you run out of cake

And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun

For the people who are still alive

kalbokalbs

IF the families did not KNOW, what to expect, they are as blatantly ignorant, as the five ignoramuses, voluntarily, in the death coffin.

Aubergine

I read a theory that, based on some “insider info”, it may have been the sub hitting bottom. That the tapping heard was a standard SOS, and that the implosion happened later. Which makes some sense to me.

pgroup2

The scattering of the debris indicates that it disintegrated on the way down and the currents spread the wreckage.

Cuppa Covfefe

Somewhere it said it takes about five hours to get down to depth, and comms were lost around 1:45 in, so it was still way above the sea floor and the remains of the Titanic. If indeed it were there at all…..

kalbokalbs

IMO.

Tapping from inside the coffin, NEVER happened.

There was an implosion.

  1. The Navy knows if the implosion was on the way down, or after the coffin hit bottom.
  2. Time is known when the coffin started its descent.
  3. Expected descent rate.
  4. Contact lost.
  5. implosion recorded.

Whether the Navy ever comes clean with accurate facts. I’d bet NOT.

Aubergine

Yeah, I don’t we’ll ever hear the truth about it.

Many people are just now waking up to the truth that American government does not and has not honored its founding documents and related laws for quite some time. The law itself morphed into tyranny from its founding and has been continually compromised.

Study the Hebrews from the giving of the Commandments and laws of Moses. What grew out of that simplicity? Now most of Israel does not even believe in the God of Moses and Abraham.

Same deal. The only way back is through Jesus and revival as a nation to its core founding and values. Nothing else will work or matter.

From personal experience the people who turned away from God have lost their moral compass. They lean Marxist accept all the mew BS fed to them.
Not speaking about people who are fed up with organized religion and live their faith out quietly by example.

I have been told by knowledgeable faith leaders in the UMC and SBC over the years that less than half of the citizens of Israel exhibit faith in God. They have allegiance to the country and their people.Whereas other polls say 80% of Israeli Jews do believe in God. The problem is only the orthodox live by the faith and that is about a third of the believers. Nearly half describe themselves as secular. Only a third even observe some aspects of Shabbat. Below is a dated link to survey info. I am told it is worse now.

As you know you can say you believe in God and have no clue who He is and what the relationship entails.

The following link breaks down how American Jews view things. More believe that God did not give Israel the land than do believe as an example. The promise of the land is a covenant promise. Hard to say you believe in God if you do not believe in one of His covenants.

“The US prepares for the US/NATO to officially enter war with Russia. Sets the stage for a false flag event to destroy the ZNPP and blame Russia.

☢️🇺🇸❌️🇷🇺 The Graham-Blumenthal resolution:

1⃣ Agrees that the deployment of the Russian Federation’s tactical nuclear weapons within the Republic of Belarus is a threat to Ukraine and NATO member states.

2⃣ Views the use of any tactical nuclear weapon by the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory causing significant harm to human life as an attack on NATO requiring an immediate response, including the implementation of Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty.

3⃣ Urges the current administration to consult with NATO leaders and other European partners to develop a comprehensive response to minimize the threat to civilians and coordinate a diplomatic and military response commensurate with the situation.”

Trump impersonator Shawn Farash leaves a message for Schiff, as Trump. He calls Schiff’s D.C. office and you can hear Schiff’s voicemail message. Then “Trump” leaves him a message. I’m not sure whether Farash really left a message on that line because the video jumps a little right before he starts talking as Trump. (I bet he would get in big trouble if he really did that.) But he does a great job as usual. 😅

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.

Looked over some of the Modi visit stuff.
Seems the visit was primarily to promote India and forestall criticism of his country. (to wit get Biden back stabbers to stop undermining India’s affairs.)
To that end it seemed successful on the surface, but backstabbers are backstabbers.
No other greater message, which is unfortunate, but likely necessary at this point for India.

The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children: an exploratory study:

K Freund 1, R J WatsonAffiliations expandPMID: 1556756 DOI: 10.1080/00926239208404356 https: //pubmed.nbci.nlm.nih.gov/1556756

An official website of the United States government

The present study investigated whether the etiology of preferred partner sex among pedophiles is related to the etiology of preferred partner sex among males preferring adult partners…The ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1. This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually.

—————-
The Journal of Sex Research found that homosexual pedophiles commit about one-third of the total number of sex offenses against children.

This fact is particularly disturbing. Homosexuals comprise just two percent of the population, yet are responsible for 33% of all child sexual abuse. They offend against children at 16 times the rate of the normal population.

The Archives of Sexual Behavior, in a study of 229 convicted child molesters, found that “eighty-six percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.”

How the Catholic Priesthood Became an Unlikely Haven for Many Gay Men

BY ROSS BENES APRIL 20, 2017 8:15 AM http://Slate.com

In a survey of several thousand priests in the U.S., the Los Angeles Times found that 28 percent of priests between the ages of 46 and 55 reported that they were gay. This statistic was higher than the percentages found in other age brackets and reflected the outflow of straight priests throughout the 1970s and ’80s.

The high number of gay priests also became evident in the 1980s, when the priesthood was hit hard by the AIDS crisis that was afflicting the gay community.

The Kansas City Star estimated that at least 300 U.S. priests suffered AIDS-related deaths between the mid-1980s and 1999. The Star concluded that priests were about twice as likely as other adult men to die from AIDS.

So how many gay priests actually exist?

Most surveys (which, due to the sensitivity of the subject, admittedly suffer from limited samples and other design issues) find between 15 percent and 50 percent of U.S. priests are gay, which is much greater than the 3.8 percent of people who identify as LGBTQ in the general population.

It’s not as if the church is unaware of this issue. A past president of the USCCB complained about an “ongoing struggle to make sure that the Catholic priesthood is not dominated by homosexual men.”
—–
Published studies show over 80% of the Catholic victims were male. 100% of the Boy Scout victims were male. A young female, because the world is over 96% heterosexual and thus most pedophiles, or airline pilots, or surgeons, or astronauts come from that 96%, is statistically 3 times more likely to be a pedophile victim than a young male. If the Catholic Priest pedophilia scandal was primarily heterosexual pedophilia, there would have been overwhelming huge numbers of Catholic young female victims, 3 to 1 outnumbering male victims. But over 80% of the over 200,000 Catholic pedophile victims were young males. The results confirm the studies

I wonder if the French ship named L’Atalante has any relation to the 1934 film L’Atalante:

“Capricious small-town girl Juliette and barge captain Jean marry after a whirlwind courtship, and she comes to live aboard his boat, L’Atalante. As they make their way down the Seine, Jean grows weary of Juliette’s flirtations with his all-male crew, and Juliette longs to escape the monotony of the boat and experience the excitement of a big city.”

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/LAtalante-Blu-ray/130003/

.

Full Review, by Dr. Svet Atansov:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Complete-Jean-Vigo-Blu-ray/24203/#Review

“Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante, one of the greatest films ever made, is about two people madly in love with each other who realize that to stay in love they must learn to compromise.

The film opens up with Jean (Jean Dasté, Grand Illusion, The Wild Child) and Juliette’s (Dita Parlo, The Woman of Monte Carlo, Ultimatum) wedding, which is a strange one as there are no festivities to mark the happy event. Jean quickly takes Juliette to his river barge, L’Atalante, where he attempts to make love to her but fails after a few kitties decide to welcome his wife. Soon after, Juliette is also officially welcomed by Jules (Michel Simon, Boudu Saved From Drowning, Port of Shadows), Jean’s noisy right-hand man, and his younger apprentice.

At first excited to be on L’Atalante, Juliette slowly becomes bored and then frustrated with her new life. She begins fantasizing about visiting Paris and its luxury boutiques, but Jean shows little interest in making her dream come true. Sensing that things are heading in the wrong direction, Jules attempts to help but quickly fails and further complicates the situation.

Eventually, L’Atalante reaches the Paris canals. However, on the night when Jean finally agrees to take Juliette dancing and then show her the city, Jules decides to get drunk and see a fortune-teller — this means that Jean has to stay on L’atalante. Convinced that this is an opportunity that should not be missed, Juliette decides to see Paris alone.

What makes Vigo’s L’Atalante such an intriguing and special film is the fact that it simply does not fit any of the profiles which one would typically use to categorize French films made between 1920-1940. Technically, L’Atalante has plenty in common with many of the classic silent French films and even classic silent Russian films – especially as far as camera movement is concerned, which should not be surprising as the film’s cinematographer was Russian-born Boris Kaufman, the youngest brother of famous Russian director Dziga Vertov – but aesthetically the film has more in common with the works of the Italian neorealists, and particularly the films of Roberto Rosellini.

Portions of L’Atalante feel as if they were taken from a post-war documentary – they look raw and gritty, devoid of glamour and finesse. The rest of the film, however, is infused with the type of poetic beauty that will later on become one of the most distinctive qualities in the works of the French nouvelle vague directors (Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut).

Unlike his contemporaries, Vigo loved experimenting. Unsurprisingly, entire sequences in L’Atalante are fully improvised and left unedited. A lot of the sound is also not post-synchronized, thus adding a great deal to the film’s intended rawness.

This unique blending of realism and rawness with poetic beauty and occasionally bold eroticism, however, created mass confusion amongst those who first saw L’Atalante, including its own producers. As a result, after Vigo’s tragic death at age 29, the film underwent numerous edits. The original 1934 Chavance first version of L’Atalante was also lost – until Gaumont located a nitrate version with the original title at the British Film Institute’s National Film Archives in 1989.

Note: Criterion’s Blu-ray contains the 89-minute version of L’Atalante. The high-definition transfer the disc uses was created from the 2001 Gaumont 35mm restoration negative.”

Summary: “The famous film critic Roger Ebert once wrote that modern movies begin with Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless. I believe that modern movies begin with Jean Vigo’s brilliant L’Atalante. Without it countless great directors, including some of the nouvelle vague directors, would have never felt inspired to shoot their films. L’Atalante changed everything. Criterion’s The Complete Jean Vigo Collection is clearly one of the year’s most important releases. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

Distraction? Questions Swirl Over Timing Of Sub Story As Biden Bombshells Hit Target
As two IRS whistleblowers prepared to go public with more damning information implicating the Biden administration in a scheme to bury evidence of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes – as well as the revelation that Joe Biden was ‘in the room’ when Hunter shot a threatening message to a Chinese business associate demanding payment, a story which some have called the biggest political scandal this country has ever seen”, another story captivated the nation: the deaths of missing submarine passengers who set off last weekend to see the Titanic, only to lose contact shortly into the trip.

con’t https://www.zerohedge.com/political/distraction-questions-swirl-over-timing-sub-story-biden-bombshells-hit-target

—————————————————————-

So-called ‘normies’ … like cats … follow the ‘bouncing ball … the red dot …

They’re not alone though … are they… ? the ‘sub’ has been top story for days.

New shiny ball … FTA

… “This has led many to wonder whether the Biden administration allowed people to think the sub passengers were still alive, despite information and belief that the sub had likely imploded early into the voyage, a story arc that would have fizzled out much sooner and turned the public’s attention to the far greater bombshell of a story surrounding the latest alleged crimes by the Bidens.”

Peeps are still focused on a ‘distraction’ … forget the news of the ‘greatest scandal in history wrt Biden corruption’ … focus on the coverup

We have known for a long time these people are evil.

I will agree to disagree. I don’t think anyone, especially not anyone in this group, has forgotten about Biden corruption. We are able to look at any number of things at once. The mainstream media was not covering Biden corruption anyway, so no great loss there. And things will continue to move forward regarding the Bidens as more is uncovered. So this submarine event did not a) stop the investigation, b) stop people from knowing about the corruption, and c) prevent more Biden info from coming out.

I have no doubt they want people to be distracted, but it’s not going to work.

This one is disconcerting also.

Teacher Union Head Randi Weingarten Appointed to DHS School Safety Board for Some Reason

Randi Weingarten, the head of the largest teacher union in the country, has been appointed to the Department of Homeland Security School Safety Board.

Weingarten has no known expertise in security, so the appointment is a bit confusing.

Furthermore, Weingarten is largely responsible for keeping schools closed during the pandemic, despite her efforts to rewrite history.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced this week that Randi Weingarten, the controversial head of the American Federation of Teachers union, will be one of the new members of a DHS academic council.

Mayorkas announced that Weingarten will be one of 20 new members on the Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council. According to a press release, the council was formed last year and “will provide strategic and actionable recommendations to the Secretary on campus safety and security, improved coordination, research priorities, hiring, and more.”

“Leaders of our academic institutions and campus life have a great deal to offer in helping us counter the evolving and emerging threats to the homeland,” Mayorkas said in a statement. “The Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council’s insights into strategic research, innovation, career development, and partnership opportunities for the Department will support our mission to safeguard the American people, and help our country think through and prepare for whatever threats lie ahead.

How does this appointment make any sense?

moremoralhazard takes a stab at answering the question above.

I’m sure she’ll make great contributions in silencing parents. 😬

Apparently she was a useful in the propaganda war in Ukraine also.

IMO, the appointment given to Weingarten is a couple of things:
One, payback for AFT money contributions to Biden/DemCommunists;
Two, payback for Weingarten, via the AFT, working with Walensky/CDC to dictate what would be “acceptable” regarding school re-openings;
Three, “paying forward” regarding the 2024 DemCommunist campaign and potential future school lockdowns due to COVID-19 “variants” appearing (like the XBB.1.5 “variant.”)

Here’s an item about the AFT money contributions to Biden/DemCommunists:

“Teachers union gave nearly $20 million to Dems before influencing CDC school reopening guidance”

Here’s the dirt on what the AFT and Weingarten were doing to work “hand-in-glove” with Walensky/CDC and the White House on school re-openings guidance: https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/teachers-union-collaborated-with-cdc-on-school-reopening-emails/
