Month: September 2023

2023·09·30 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

Oh, Boy A Shutdown

MOAR SHUTDOWN!!!!

The government will temporarily stop doing much of the useless stuff it does. Not nearly enough.

And it won’t start doing any of the useful things it hasn’t been doing (apparently it hasn’t done anything useful in, oh, almost three years).

So it’s a mixed bag. But shutdowns piss off all the right people. So…revel in it!

This Man is Pissed!

And if you aren’t…what the hell is wrong with you?

Is This Our Anthem?

Or at least our song to march to?

I’m sure most of you know I don’t believe in “devolution” or any variant of “we’re really still in charge” and certainly not the ones that come with “They’re waiting for everyone to wake up.”

No, I don’t think the good guys are in charge. But that makes it even more necessary that people wake up.

This might be the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of our age. (Or perhaps the recent trafficking movie was it. Or maybe both.)

Certainly there seem to be a huge number of people who are finally having the light bulb turning on when they hear this song.

Joining The Herd Of Lemmings

I’ve had cause to consider a few things. Maybe we’re going about it the wrong way, and we need to ditch Trump

Yeah, NO

Trump all the way! Why? Because being hated by the people who hate him is a sign of impeccable character, that’s why.

The haters can go fuck themselves with rusty twelve gauge bore brushes. I’d prefer ten gauge but that’s kind of scarce, so…I’m willing to compromise.

The RINO’s Dilemma

The RINOs who who have burrowed in and taken over most GOP organizations, from the state down to local organizations, have quite a dilemma on their hands, and most of them have their heads too far up their asses to realize it.

OK, I’m not talking about the liberal in a Republican area, who knows they’re in the wrong party, but is there because it’s the only game in their town; they hope to capture a nomination someday, at which point they’re guaranteed to be elected…otherwise, they never will be. These people are a hazard in any heavily conservative area.

No, I’m talking about the guys who are a little bit conservative and want to do some good by going into politics, and they’re in a closely matched area, closely enough that they can join the party they are most aligned with and still have a chance. They think the Democrats…particularly the ones who end up running for office…are nuts.

They don’t think much better of the Deplorable types, either. A bunch of bumpkins whose hearts are in the right place, mostly…OK a bit extreme. But they think Deplorables can’t understand that first you have to get elected, then work within the system to change things…a slow process. They genuinely want many of the things Deplorables want…just not as much. The government is spending too much. Or they need to spend money on highways instead of welfare for illegal immigrants. But they want to work within the system to get these things done.

Or maybe they think things are pretty close to ideal right now, and they want to nail it in place.

The problem is, that means they don’t stand for anything in particular. And it shows. They’re about as unappetizing to the electorate as a puddle of dog vomit. The folks in the middle, who they think they are appealing to because they themselves are not extreme, would honestly prefer a clear-spoken radical to someone who qualifies everything they say to the point where they sound like they don’t believe anything at all.

The problem these “Mild RINOs” have, is they just can’t see that. And the reason they just can’t see that, is their entire sense of self-worth is tied up in not seeing that. In their minds, they’ve worked tirelessly for their party, to keep those crazy Democrats out…only to have to constantly fight with a small number of crazy Republicans–who are only liabilities if they end up as candidates. They’ve fought the good fight, and if they can just find the right candidate, someone with some charisma, they might stop the crazies…without being too beholden to the OTHER crazies. In the meantime it’s not working. What’s a responsible guy in politics to do?

They simply cannot understand that the Republicans can’t succeed as the party of nothing in particular. Not really in the past, and certainly not today when people are starting to realize that no matter what they do in the voting booth, the country is still about to fly off a precipice. If they did see it, they’d suddenly have two choices: Go away and let the GOP succeed, or stay and fight. But “go away” isn’t really an option, because what’s the point of having a party now owned by the crazies, win?

Well, they have a dilemma…and WE, therefore have a problem. And we would have that problem even IF they realized that they had a problem…that they were the problem.

No one ever thinks they are the bad guy. Even Epstein probably thought he was the good guy. Right up to the moment where he didn’t kill himself.

So if you ever wonder why these unappetizing dufuses cling on even when their fingernails are being left behind…that’s why. They don’t understand no one wants them, and can’t imagine that no one should want them. And oftentimes their greatest pride is in all the hard work they’ve done for the party. They’re not going to give that up; it’d be psychological suicide.

If you’ve worked with these people, there’s a good chance you like them and consider some of them your friends. But even if so…we’re going to have to give them a good, hard shove. Because America is more important than those milquetoasts’ egos.

Justice Must Be Done

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Annular Eclipse Oct 14

OK the first thing y’all in the Basket of Deplorables need to unnerstand is “Annular” is not some weird down-home way to pronounce annual.

😀

It actually comes from “annulus” or “ring.”

This is an eclipse of the sun, and it will not be a total eclipse like the one in 2017. The Moon will pass directly between the Earth and Sun, which would normally cause a total eclipse for some lucky people, but in this case, it will not. The Moon will be too far away from Earth, and thus will not seem quite wide enough to cover the sun. If you find yourself exactly in line with the Moon and the Sun sometime on October 14, you will therefore see the Sun as a ring, since the moon won’t be big enough to cover it, but will be (from your point of view) centered over the Sun. So, from the ring like appearance of the Sun, “annular” eclipse.

We are actually pretty lucky. As seen from Earth the Moon and Sun appear very nearly the same size. (The Sun is in fact roughly 400 times as wide as the Moon, but it’s also 400 times further away.) Because of the near-perfect match in size, solar eclipses happen where the Moon just barely covers the Sun’s disk, leaving a clear view of the solar atmosphere (the corona).

There are two downsides, though.

One is that you have to be directly in line with the Moon and Sun to see a total solar eclipse. The other is that sometimes the moon is just too far away and you get an annular eclipse.

I went to see the last annular eclipse in the US, but forgot the plate that holds my camera to my tripod so got no pictures. But it looks like this:

I have seen both annulars and total eclipses now. And I can tell you comparatively speaking an annular eclipse is dogshit compared to a total solar eclipse.

An annular is worth seeing once–but don’t bust your budget or spend too much money on it.

Total solar eclipses have groupies who will travel the world to see them, again and again and again.

The good news is you do not have to settle for this one. There will be a total solar eclipse next April that will hit much more populous areas of the United States. If it’s a long trip to the annular eclipse…save your money and go to the April eclipse instead.

After next year’s total the US will have to wait until 2045…but that one will be easy for me assuming I’m alive and still living here…I just have to park a lawn chair in front of the house.

OK so here’s the explanation.

Below is a pretty standard illustration of what’s going on in a solar eclipse. Nothing is to scale (not even remotely), but in a fictitious earth/moon/sun system where these are to scale, it would work the same.

If you are somewhere in the region marked “umbra” you cannot see the Sun because the Moon is blocking it. (The Moon always has an umbra but it is almost always completely out in space.) The “penumbra” is that volume of space where the moon partially covers the sun. It overlaps it, and the Sun looks like someone took a bite out of it.

Notice that in the diagram the umbra just barely touches the Earth. That’s the usual situation during an eclipse, but this time the point of the umbra won’t quite reach the Earth’s surface because the Moon is close to the furthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Earth.

Again not even remotely to scale (and they used a different wrong scale in this diagram). Note here the point of the umbra doesn’t touch Earth, but there is a conical “antiumbra” to the right of the umbra. It’s basically the other half of the same cone (technically a cone isn’t just one pointy teepee shape, it’s two of them touching at the points). Inside the antiumbra the Moon passes entirely in front of the Sun but appears too small to cover it.

OK, so there’s one very natural question you might be asking yourself, planning to ask me in the comments. If the Moon goes around the Earth once a month (indeed that is the original definition of a month though our calendar months are somewhat too long to match perfectly), why don’t we have some sort of solar eclipse, somewhere on Earth, every month?

Well, we would, if the Moon’s orbit about the Earth were in the same plane as the Earth’s orbit around the Sun (that plane shows up as the ecliptic in the sky). However, they aren’t the same plane and the Moon’s orbit is therefore “tilted” relative to the ecliptic about five degrees. Two planes that aren’t parallel will intersect in a line, so the moon has to happen to be on that line, just as it’s passing (roughly) between the Earth and the Sun on a new moon, for there to be a solar eclipse.

(Wow this is actually a pretty good diagram (but also not even remotely to scale)!) You can see that at some points in Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the Moon (if it happens to be new moon at the time rather than say a quarter moon to the left or right of Earth) will eclipse the sun. And if the moon happens to be full at that time you’ll get Earth’s round shadow covering the moon (a lunar eclipse).

Eclipse Maps

Here are maps of the ground track for both the October annular eclipse and the April total eclipse.

The red path running from Oregon through Texas is the area in which the antiumbra will pass; people in that stripe will see the entire Moon in front of the Sun. It will be centered in the center of the path. You can see the times marked in green (Universal Time; Mountain Daylight time is 6 hours behind) that so the eclipse leaves Texas for the Gulf at 11:00 AM MDT or 12 Noon Texas time.

The moon’s penumbra (region of partial eclipse) is shown in light blue.

Now for the April 8 eclipse next year:

Note that the path is in blue indicating the umbra is making the path, not the anti-umbra; otherwise the diagram works the same. And you’ll notice this one goes through Texas at a 90 degree angle to the first one (hitting Dallas and Texarkana), then goes through the Midwest. It almost hits St. Louis, grazes Dayton and Columbus, hits Cleveland and Toledo and then largely tracks Lake Erie and the St. Lawrence river. Easy travel for many of us. And much more worthwhile.

Which is not to say I won’t go see the annular eclipse if I feel up for a road trip two weeks from today. This time I’ll have the complete camera tripod. (Do or do not. There is no “tri.”)

Why Not To Scale?

I’ve been commenting on the diagrams not being to scale. This isn’t a cheap-out; it’s impossible to show Earth, Moon and Sun to scale on a diagram without either having to scroll a LOT, or having Earth and Moon be smaller than a pixel.

Below are the Earth and Moon, drawn to scale both in size and distance. The Sun is 400 times as wide as the Moon, and 400 times more distant. On my monitor that would put it over 200 feet away.

This is basically the ONLY time you will ever see a to-scale diagram on astronomy. You might see sizes to scale, or distances, but never both at the same time. When I wrote on the Great Conjunction back in 2020, I had diagrams (drawn by me based on actual positions) that were to scale for distances, but even the Sun would have beenless than one pixel across in those diagrams if they were fully to scale.

Does ANY rational person “trust the science” at this point?

NEW: ‘Scientist’ Neil deGrasse has meltdown while trying to explain why men should be able to compete in women’s sports. The ‘scientists’ really don’t seem to follow the science these days. Before melting down, deGrasse tried coming up with a scientific explanation for why men should be able to compete in women’s sports. “So I’m wondering whether the future of those sports is, you don’t contest gender with gender. You contest hormone ratios.” The meltdown came when the show hosts asked deGrasse about women being denied opportunities because the playing field is not even. “So fix the playing field, da**it! Don’t, don’t say it’s an unfair playing field. So all of a sudden the big issue is trans women taking the slot of a woman in an unfair playing field, fix the playing field.” “You know something, the day you fix that playing field, this conversation will look completely ridiculous. That’s what I’m trying to tell you.” The only thing that looks ridiculous is you, Neil.

Proverbs 1

The Beginning of Knowledge
(see also Proverbs 9:1–12)

1These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David,

king of Israel,

2for gaining wisdom and discipline,

for comprehending words of insight,

3and for receiving instruction in wise living

and in righteousness, justice, and equity.

4To impart prudence to the simplea

and knowledge and discretion to the young,

5let the wise listen and gain instruction,

and the discerning acquire wise counsel

6by understanding the proverbs and parables,

the sayings and riddles of the wise.

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,

but foolsb despise wisdom and discipline.

The Enticement of Sin

8Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,

and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.

9For they are a garland of grace on your head

and a pendant around your neck.

10My son, if sinners entice you,

do not yield to them.

11If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood,

let us ambush the innocent without cause,

12let us swallow them alive like Sheol,

and whole like those descending into the Pit.

13We will find all manner of precious goods;

we will fill our houses with plunder.

14Throw in your lot with us;

let us all share one purse”—

15my son, do not walk the road with them

or set foot upon their path.

16For their feet run to evil,

and they are swift to shed blood.

17How futile it is to spread the net

where any bird can see it!

18But they lie in wait for their own blood;

they ambush their own lives.

19Such is the fate of all who are greedy,

whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.

Wisdom Calls Aloud

20Wisdom calls out in the street,

she lifts her voice in the square;

21in the main concoursec she cries aloud,

at the city gates she makes her speech:

22“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways?

How long will scoffers delight in their scorn

and fools hate knowledge?

23If you had repented at my rebuke,

then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you;

I would have made my words known to you.

24Because you refused my call,

and no one took my outstretched hand,

25because you neglected all my counsel,

and wanted none of my correction,

26in turn I will mock your calamity;

I will sneer when terror strikes you,

27when your dread comes like a storm,

and your destruction like a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish overwhelm you.

28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;

they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.

29For they hated knowledge

and chose not to fear the LORD.

30They accepted none of my counsel;

they despised all my reproof.

31So they will eat the fruit of their own way,

and be filled with their own devices.

32For the waywardness of the simple will slay them,

and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety,

secure from the fear of evil.”

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

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.

Anybody got a good baptism story? Here’s the best one ever. In my occasionally humble opinion.

Matthew 3:13-17

The Baptism of Jesus
(Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–22; John 1:29–34)

13At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

15“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

16As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened,d and He sawe the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

This one’s good enough to run again, too!

‘Operation Trust.’ On the Infinite Strength of Questions — Burning Bright

Have you ever heard that phrase bandied about in the Info War?

On an Actual level, it refers to a declassified counter-intel operation conducted by the State Political Directorate of the Soviet Union implemented in the 1920s, in which Bolshevik (communist) aligned agents were both installed into and founded grassroots anti-Bolshevik movementswithin the Russian and Eastern European populations.

The goal of this communist operation was to root out existing threats to communist rule from within the sovereign population, and to provoke the ‘turn’ of anti-communist sentiment within those most likely to found, lead or join anti-Bolshevik movements in the decades to come.

In essence, it was an intelligence False Flag operation meant to trick anti-communist, pro-sovereign Russians into believing there was a powerful anti-Soviet movement in the offing; the result of the operation was the successful identification, imprisonment and ultimately, long-term neutering of anti-communist movements and even sentiment within the destabilized empire. By cutting off the heads of the sovereign sentiment within the Russian population, the Soviet government was able to curtail early threats to its rule, while blunting the formation of future threats for generations to come…

(For more on said communist infiltration and its eventual defeat at the hands of the reforged Russian Federation, check out the Righteous Russia series here on Burning Bright.)

Burning Bright goes on from there. It is a good read AND VERY TIMELY. Burning Bright and Just Human also discuss this topic during last weekend’s Defected Ep 42 – Sun

A very rough transcript of the part I wish to discuss:

JUST HUMAN:

@36.45 …[It is important to have] healthy skepticism of our opponents that we don’t agree with, but having just as much if not more healthy skepticism coming from the news we do agree with. I think that is one of the most dangerous and where you can really slip up…. When the news is something you agree with at the outset… you have to have healthy skepticism of BOTH SIDES. MAYBE MORE SO OF YOUR OWN SIDE….

BURNING BRIGHT:

@46:30 We have been psy-oped and demoralized into believing that hope… is illogical. With an organic movement like the Q drops, people grift on to that, or they are installed and PAID and WE KNOW THIS HAPPENS… this is a MACRO Socratic Operation that is telling you, your nation has been subverted . [Telling you] THIS IS HOW TO FIND OUT who is subverting it and how and how to counter them… Q was not ‘Operation Trust’ but those who grifted onto it were little versions of Operation Trust…

When I heard this and then read Burning Bright’s article I immediately thought of DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano and The Oath Keepers.

“…(communist) aligned agents were both installed into and FOUNDED GRASSROOTS ANTI-BOLSHEVIK MOVEMENTS. …the result of the operation was the successful identification, imprisonment and ultimately, long-term neutering of anti-communist movements and even sentiment…”

Given Jan 6th doesn’t it make sense that The Oath Keepers IS actually a DHS/COMMUNIST TRAP and the Trap was finally sprung on Jan 6th? Doesn’t that explain the outlandish sentencing AND THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF PEOPLE WHO NEVER EVEN WENT IN THE CAPITAL? Especially given the fact the Banksters FUNDED the Bolshevik Revolution.

Just Human discusses just that about the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers starting at 1:12:45. He looks at it from the angle of having read their ‘confessions.’

Refresher on Napolitano and the Oath Keepers:

It all links back to Obama and Janet Napolitano.

Napolitano was head of DHS in March of 2010 when she switched focus FROM Muslim Terrorists TO Homegrown Patriotic Veterans and retired LEOs. (See my article AND Logic: The Conspiracy to Ban Guns

Funny how Rhodes Started up the Oath Keepers at the SAME TIME THE REPORT NAPOLITANO REFERS TO WAS WRITTEN…

 In an increasingly bizarre world Napolitano stands by the controversial Department of Homeland Security report which lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S along with ordinary American patriots.

“…“Rightwing extremism,” the report said… goes beyond religious and racial hate groups and extends to “those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.”

“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” said the report, which also listed gun owners and veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as potential risks….”

Napolitano stands by controversial report — April 16, 2009 

“Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report, which lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S…..”

WIKI (Now changed)

Oath Keepers was founded in March 2009 by Elmer Stewart Rhodes a Yale Law School graduate, former U.S. Army paratrooper, and former staffer for Republican Congressman Ron Paul….

(I wonder if he was a SPY placed on Ron Paul’s Staff. Staffers move from person to person as congress critters come and go.)

Wolfie documents Napolitano popping up again in connection with Jan 6th HERE.

Now does these tweets make sense?

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

Yesterday I discussed Mike Benz’s information on the destruction of our First Amendment right of Free Speech. There is one thing Mike Benz does not mention and it is a very effective tactic — the Limited Hangout.

A limited hangout or partial hangout is a tactic used in media relations, perception management, politics, and information management. The tactic originated as a technique in the espionage trade.

According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is “spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further. — WIKI

So let’s go back to the Devolution video I Tuesday yesterday.

Devolution Power Hour #181 Featuring Burning Bright and Just Human – Wed 10:30 PM ET –

The first point I want to mention, is how YOUNG most of the Badland hosts are. Jon Harold has not even read Q, Kate was a Democrat as was Burning Bright. Just Human and Patrick Gunnels are Libertarians. I find they are missing a heck of a lot of the information that I have acquired from being an ‘EVIL BOOMER’

@ 1:45:40 Jon Harold talks about how necessary $$$ are and how hard it is to hold a full time job AND produce good content. “So I made that leap to doing this full time, but not everybody can do that.” [Very true but it makes you vulnerable. GC]

….Therefore being able to support yourself as full time Alt-News journalist is critical to the insurgency… WE have come up with a way… this is something WE talked about at GART II… this is how WE decided we could decentralize our information. This is how EVERYBODY CAN PLAY A ROLL IN THIS…”

Jon then pushes https://badlandsmedia.tv/portal/

It requires name AND AN EMAIL ADDRESS… I maybe paranoid but it makes me think of “…the result of the operation was the successful identification, imprisonment and ultimately, long-term neutering of anti-communist movements …”

Over the last several months I have shared my increasing suspicion about Patrick Gunnels. Here are some of my past comments.

YUP!

The Blair Rockefeller Report showed the Tea Party was WELL EDUCATED middle class BOOMERS. These are the CORE of MAGA.

(And they are still giving Patrick Gunnels grief on Badlands for his tasteless remark “Boomers are EVIL.”  😆 )

Nice example:

I’m not a boomer—far from it, I’m not a huge fan of that troubled generation—but I admit to losing my patience when Patrick Gunnells unleashed another of his impulses against the boomers, falling for the “generational warfare” psy-op. I know this guy was a theater major, and provocation is his M.O., but enough already.

Gunnels is a THEATER MAJOR???
I do not know if it is true, but it certainly explains him. [I now know he is not]

Gunnels is NOT A Theater Major he was a math major. The confusion may have come from here:

Virus Denialism

Patrick Gunnels unfortunately fell for the ‘THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS VIRUSES” It seems to be based on saying electron microscopes are FAKE….

Rest of comment here: https://www.theqtree.com/2022/07/20/yes-virginia-there-is-a-virus/#comment-929196

I am going to add this:

Steve Kirsch Joins Patrick Gunnels to Discuss Pathogenic Viruses
A debate on Virus vs NO SUCH THING between Patrick Gunnels and Steve Kirsch:

I interview Patrick Gunnels who claims that viruses don’t exist

What I find VERY interesting is the top several comments on the Kirsch Gunnels debate on Gunnels channel, (first has 68 thumbs up) are all congratulating Patrick for defeating Steve Kirsch. We are talking the first 2 pages… The commenters on Steve’s channel also congratulate Gunnels. Please note that Patrick recently let slip he had taken courses in debate.

VIROLIEGY — Keeping the Truth Movement True with Patrick Gunnels and Eric Coppolino

Exposing the lies of Germ Theory and virology using their own sources.

Yesterday, Eric Coppolino and I were invited to the “Reading Epic Threads” show with Patrick Gunnels to discuss unity and disunity in the truth movement and where to draw the line. We also focused on whom to trust in the medical freedom movement as well as how to decide how far to go when trying to awaken people….

I do not think I trust these guys to tell me the truth.

Mike Stone Proves My Point about the Dogma of Virus Denialism

…illustrates my accompanying point about how the nonexistence of viruses is really a belief system to which they cling dogmatically, requiring them to ludicrously reject all relevant scientific literature while themselves being capable of producing nonethat actually supports their belief.

The above is a very nice point by point rebuttal. Wolfie did a rebuttal too: Yes, Virginia, There is a Virus – The Q Tree

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

This is what the Cabal is saying about Gunnels and viruses:

HOW ANTI-VAXXERS PASSED OFF PRO-TRUMP YOUTUBER PATRICK GUNNELS AS DR. KNAUSS

…According to the post, Dr. Knauss tested 1,500 positive COVID- samples and none of them contained the coronavirus. He claims that the tests contained type A and type B influenza viruses. The post also notes that the results were sent to several laboratories and the same results were received. Later, Dr. Knauss applied to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requesting live COVID-19 samples, but the latter responded that it had no such samples. Knauss claims that not a single laboratory has isolated the coronavirus that confirms that COVID-19 is a fiction and in fact, the virus is nothing but yet another flu strain….

The text of the posts spread by Georgian anti-vaxxers allegedly involves remarks by Dr. Derek Knauss. Neither the Doctor with this name nor any study conducted on COVID-positive tests can be found in scientific databases. The Spanish fact-checking organization Maldita writes that the name of Dr. Derek Knauss from California does not appear on ResearchGate or Google Scholar, the web search engines for scholarly literature….

The posts are accompanied by a photo depicting a man. According to its caption, the man is Derek Knauss, Doctor of Medical Sciences who claims that the coronavirus is a fiction.

In fact, the man depicted in the photo is not Dr. Knauss, but rather YouTuber Patrick Gunnels. The latter runs a YouTube channel Reading Epic Threadscreated in 2019. In his videos, Gunnels mainly reads out and discusses the tweets of various users….

SO who is this ‘Myth Detector’?

It is a ‘Fact-Checking’ group out of the country of Georgia started in 2014.

ABOUT US

Our Mission: 

Media Development Foundation (MDF) launched its fact-checking and myth debunking platform – Myth Detector – in 2014, to uncover truth behind the lies, explore hidden agendas, raise the level of media literacy and inform both people and institutions of Georgia [the country] about the impacts of disinformation.

👉 Since November 2019, Myth Detector is a verified signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) of the Poynter Institute, working alongside with 100 fact-checkers from more than 70 countries around the world and member of#CoronaVirusFacts Alliance and WhatsApp Coronavirus Information Hub.

In September 2020, Myth Detector partnered up with Facebook to fight against misinformation in the framework of Facebook’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program. Myth Detector reviews and rates the accuracy of content aiming to improve the quality and authenticity of stories in the News Feed. When rated false, Facebook shows the story lower in News Feed, significantly reducing its distribution and warning people who see the post or try to share the post that it has been marked as false. Facebook pays Myth Detector to perform this service for them but it has no say or influence over what Myth Detector fact-checks or what the conclusions are, nor does it want to.

Since 2016, MDF is cooperating with EUvsDisinfo – the flagship project of the European External Action Service’s East StratCom Task Force and is a member of the Open Information Partnership (OIP) bringing together think tanks, fact-checkers, independent media and grassroots organisations to support efforts to counter hostile information influence operations. The website was created by the Media Development Foundation (MDF) with the support of the German Marshall Fund/Black Sea Foundation for International Cooperation and German Cooperation.


The Media Development Foundation (MDF) is responsible for the material posted on the website. It may not reflect the views of the German Marshall Fund or German Cooperation

So Patrick is already on the Cabal’s radar for targeting.

FLAT EARTH

The difference in comments between Mike Toon’s video and Patrick Gunnels version are… Telling.

Patrick Gunnels had no clue in this debate. – YouTube

Will Patrick Censor the comments you leave? Leave nice ones so his hypocrisy is clear. https://rumble.com/v360pkm-flat-vs-globe-patrick-debates-mctoon.html…

Mike Toon

This is an EPIC take down of Gunnels.

Start @ 33:35 MC TOON (Mike) vs Gunnels. Patrick has been a Flat Earther since 2019. Mike says he has been doing Globe Earth vs Flat Earth debates weekly for 4 years. So unlike with the virus debate with Steve Kirsch, who was not a virologist or a debater, Mike is ‘fully armed’

@ 37:30 Gunnels says his academic background is in mathematics, professional background is in software. In 2017, Gunnels noticed TPTB (the powers that be) info was not always reliable. “So I made a promise to myself I would only belief information if I could verify down to its foundations….”

(Excuse me while I ROTFL.)

Sorry, but just how much CAN a person ACTUALLY verify INDEPENDENTLY? DARN LITTLE!!! Instead what Patrick has done is profess belief in an ALTERNATE, much of which is unverifiable too!

In the first few minutes Gunnels tries his first debate trick — Change the actual topic from Flat Earth to a spinning globe.

@ 42:05 Mike says this is information that he measured himself. Previously I gave three different ancient techniques. Mike and 3 others use the second method, which was first used by Eratosthenes.

Gunnels asks if he has a video that explains it. As a Math Major he would have already been familiar with the method and he is. This leads to Gunnels second trick. He plays a video about Eratosthenes and his method and then says Eratosthenes makes the ASSUMPTION that the earth is round and therefore begs the question. @ 47 minutes Mike slaps him down saying you put that on me… Did I claim that as proof? And it gets better from there.

Mike: “The essence of science is to TEST something that is FALSIFIABLE.”

[This is where Steve Kirsch flubbed it. Not being a virologist, he could not actually test viruses.]

Then Mike goes into the hypothesis IF the earth is flat….(Slapping down Gunnels straw man debate trick) and looks at real-world measurements and uses trigonometry (Right angle triangle) and concludes, that IF the sun cannot be in two different locations, then Flat Earth is proven false. (1:01:30) And it goes on from there with Mike countering Gunnels using REAL WORLD MEASUREMENTS the entire time.

Gunnels then brings up a ‘Black Swan’ event.

To understand Mike’s argument look at this paper that Mike references and Gunnels ignores:

Distance to the horizon Andrew Thomas Young. (subject matter expert)

The ‘black swan’ event has the optical measurement very obviously confounded by the refraction phenomena as Mike repeatedly points out. As a result Gunnels becomes increasingly unglued and then at 1:30:00 kicks Mike off his Rumble channel.

If you have the time this is a really good lesson in how science (and debate) is SUPPOSED to work.

And as the cherry on the Gunnels pudding (head) you have this On Gab:

Patrick Gunnels @pgunnels Mar 7·

Fuck unity and the horse it rode in on.

https://gab.com/pgunnels

Well that certainly tells us what Patrick thinks of WWG1WGA doesn’t it?

SYNOPSIS:

Gunnels supports the claim that there is no such thing as a virus, letting Ralph Baric et al off the hook.

He goes even further saying there are no pathogens just poisons and parasites. That’s a dangerous point of view that could get people killed. He insults Boomers (who make up a significant part of MAGA) and refuses to apologize. And then he caps it off with the idiotic Flat Earth crap that was disproven before Christ was born.

So is Patrick’s real goal to splinter Alt News and also make them look like far-out wack jobs?

MORE INFO:

Badlands started up in Oct of 2022.

FEBRUARY 02, 2022: Sean Morgan interviews Patrick Gunnels of “Reading Epic Threads” about his new event in Nashville “ThreadFest 2022”

Start @ 6 minutes go to 10 minutes. Gunnels gives his sales pitch (He is a salesman after all.) — He talks of an event called Patriot Doubled Down where Jon Harold was a featured speaker. Gunnels says what his friend Jon and he noticed is the event covered stuff everyone already knew. “What we wanted was an event where great minds had really really dug into events… new ways of looking at things. The most fun was when Jon and I and 8 people sat around a table and talked.” That was the genesis of Thread Fest. “We could put together an event, [small 150 max] where the producers of the Great Threads of our world, where the great independent media minds of our world had gotten together to look at history, gov documents transactions… could interact.”

So as I hypothesized, Gunnels was a major force behind the formation of Badlands and the CORRALLING AND PAINTING OF ALT NEWS AS FAR OUT WACK JOBS!

AD:

Patriots, get ready!

From April 22 to April 25, 2022, Patrick Gunnels of Reading Epic Threads and Patel Patriot of the Devolution Series will host a three-day deep dive extravaganza at the incredible The Inn at Opryland in Nashville, TN! Even as we speak, speakers are being lined up. As plans come together, we will update this site on a regular basis. Participate in this event to support a conservative cause and to celebrate love…

Patrick Gunnels – He is an American news researcher and professional as well as the creator of the “Reading Epic Threads” program on various social media. He has been tutoring students in maths at all levels for over twenty years. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Mathematics…

Patel Patriot [Jon Harold] He is a former Catholic School fundraiser…

Nothing about his jobs with software companies or sales…

…. Threadfest deadline for room bookings has passed. So I booked a bunch of rooms on my own dime and will bundle them with your ticket! https://www.threadfest.show/tickets.html – Patrick Gunnels

Rooms are $230/night deal rates are $189.

2 night stay $378 per room.

20 rooms = $7,500… They were talking 150 guests so NOT selling 20 rooms out of 150 for a first time event is not out of the question. I do not have that kind of spare $$$ to toss around, how does Gunnels if all he does is tutor math students ? However that is not ALL that Patrick does.

It is interesting that it is hard to find out just what Patrick does despite his running as a Libertarian for election to the Texas House of Representatives against Cringeshaw. (Libertarians generally take votes away from the Republicans.)

This MAY be Patrick (looks like him). If so he wrote a Linked-in article about HOW GREAT ThousandEyes is:

THOUSANDEYES

Thrive in a Connected World

ThousandEyes was founded in 2010 by Mohit Lad and Ricardo Oliveira, colleagues from the UCLA [University of California LA] Computer Science department. Our leaders have deep experience in networking, Internet routing, and SaaS

Platform Overview

End User Monitoring

Assure network performance and web app experience from employee devices

Network and Application Synthetics
See how every network and service impact your enterprise digital experience

Not only is Gunnels connected to software, ?that monitors end users? as he said on the Mark Toon’s youtube, he is also a SALESMAN and more and more it is looking like he is selling Badland Hosts down the river.

DHS ‘Cat Herders’

Dear KAG: 20230926 Open Thread & the MAGA Insurgency — Part I

I tried to follow De-Pat’s method of posting interesting headlines and articles. It didn’t work. As a scientist and a caver, if I see an interesting ‘rabbit hole’ I am instantly going to get side tracked. And what is the first thing I see? An intriguing clip of Mike Benz speaking about the Cabal’s strategy for neutralizing Alt Media. This the first I ever hear of Mike Benz.

Seems the conservative tree house jpg files just got deleted as I was writing this, just like Tony Heller’s did. Also the comment I just left on a 2 month old Mike Benz rumble video has been down voted. This is quite interesting given the subject of this article.

….My take-away from that is to be prepared. The exposing of the wrongs is just the first step. Then you have to be ready for the onslaught to come of smears, lies, firings, intimidation, and worse. It helps if people are united, as has happened with some boycotts. But on the whole we need to get on the same page and get stronger, IMO

And Mike Benz explains how the Cabal is working overtime to derail us.

BACKGROUND:

I first want to say that the Cabal has been trying to limit free speech since the Morgans and the Military Industrial Complex bought control of the media in 1915.

I first noticed an online insurgency during the ‘Farm Wars’ over National Animal ID. It was strong enough that the USDA got THOUSANDS of HELL NO! comments on the Federal Register and it came up in the top 15 major concerns on change.org just before Obama was elected. It did not matter, Senator Burr crossed the aisle and co-sponsored the Food Safety Modernization Act that effectively handed control of American Farms to the World Trade Organization. It was passed during the lame-duck session. US Healthcare and the WHO are starting to follow a similar path.

After the Farm Wars, came the Tea Party. The Cabal deployed several methods to derail the movement.

In December 2009:

Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot – Rasmussen Reports

“…. new Rasmussen Reports “generic ballot” poll shows

“Democrats attracting 36% of the vote.

The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%,

and Republicans finish third at 18%.

Another 22% are undecided….”

Yet a scant few months later, in February 2010, Rasmussen Reports shows: Tea Party Candidate Now Comes In Last On Three-Way Generic Ballot

April 13, 2010: 34% Say They Or Someone Close To Them Part of Tea Party Movement

 “Twenty-four percent (24%) of U.S. voters now say they consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement,”

After the Blair-Rockefeller poll’s ‘finding’ that the Tea party was ‘racist’ via a series of questions starting with “Do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that minorities…” and the MSM blasting that ‘News’ 24/7, it was down to “Just 8% Now Say They Are Tea Party Members“ by January 07, 2013.

ALSO the Tea Party Demonstrations WERE mostly NOT COVERED by the Fake News.

Washington Compost: ‘Tea party’ protesters gather in Washington to rally against taxes, spending

And when they became too large to ignore the Swamp sprang into action, with the Big Boys stepping in to deliver the final blows:

How We Killed the Tea Party

“Greedy super PACs drained the movement with endless pleas for money to support “conservative” candidates—while instead using the money to enrich themselves. I should know. I worked for one of them.” — PAUL H. JOSSEY

Not to mention the “conservative” candidates we did manage to elect, such as Ted Cruz and Rand Paul magically turned into RINOS!!!

Finally, Chamber of Commerce to Spend $100 Million to Destroy Tea Party

HOWEVER this does not mean people changed from supporting the beliefs that the Tea Party represented. POTUS Trump showed that in an overwhelming way.

Now, as Mike Benz revealed on a recent Devolution Power Hour, the Cabal has come up with a new high powered way to STOMP the first Amendment into the ground. That was as far as I got looking at recent news before I headed down the rabbit hole.

Devolution Power Hour #181 Featuring Burning Bright and Just Human – Wed 10:30 PM ET –

On the Devolution Power Hour @ 1:38:30 they have a clip of Mike Benz, formerly of the US State Department under POTUS Trump. Benz starts with a comment on Russell Brand and then gets into how the Globalists are killing alternate Media.

Very Rough Transcript:

The UK government asking Twitter and Youtube to de-monetize Russell Brand… ” You have to understand how far back the OP goes… I wish you could have been there in 2017 when all the ‘consensus building architecture’ was happening.” The censorship industry is their term for themselves. After BREXIT and the 2016 election, independent news online became more powerful than the Mainstream news [Globalist Media Complex] at tilting elections and influencing public opinion. “.. the foreign policy establishments enforcement, and basically conspiracy arms, these are secret clandestine services… They got together and they did a consensus building process after the 2016 election, I have all the clips and source documents, more than I could possibly publish [he was going to write a book] where they formulated a plan. Where they looked at alternative news as an INDUSTRY, and an ecosystem. Rather than as individual emergent phenomenon… They said there are a relatively small number of these alternative news INSTITUTIONS [Not people] There are a huge number of alt news stories that they spit out, [BUT] if we kill them at the institutional level, that is MUCH EASIER than killing each and every story… the message was every where but there were relatively few emergent messengers… So they said, how do we kill the messengers? Because that was the easiest way to kill the message.

“Well the easiest way to do so is to look at alt news online as being an INDUSTRY WITH REVENUES and to cripple its capacity. Now this is an important term here… Called CAPACITY BUILDING. This is a concept in the nonprofit world which refers to the pumping up of financial resources, and personnel and technological abilities. But #1 is FINANCIAL RESOURCES.

“So for example when the State Department wants to run an operation in a foreign country, they CAPACITY BUILD [think George Soros Open Society $$$] all their Civil Society and private sector and news media outlets there. They pump them up so they are more useful as assets…

“They [the globalists] said, we need to CRIPPLE THE CAPACITY of the alt news ecosystem in order to basically kill the institutions. They did not have the idea of killing it completely, it is like counter insurgency work, this is how they describe it… you never quite kill the insurgent group that is challenging YOUR government… The winning end stage is when you simply reduce it to a SMALL SCATTERED INEFFECTIVE .. to MANAGEABLE burning embers.

“THEY CREATED AN INDUSTRY TO KILL AN INDUSTRY.

“This is the plan they set about, THEY CREATED A CENSORSHIP INDUSTRY, to kill the alt news industry… I use the term industry deliberately…What that means is they wanted to Capacity Build the institutions with the capabilities to produce online censorship and capacity to cripple the entities with the ability to produce online news… that is what this is all about. That is why there is this government- private sector civil society news media fact checking whole society network.

“THAT WHOLE THING WAS SETUP AFTER 2016 TO DO EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH RUSSELL BRAND.

“There are two ways they set about crippling the capacities of alternative news.

#1 by getting them censored on social media so their volume is turned way down. [Think of shadow banning and Wolfie] and fewer people can access their messages.

#2. The other is by killing their revenue on their own websites or platforms. [Think of the possibility that Sundance kicked off all discussion of Q to protect his revenue stream…]

“This is the invention of NEWS GUARD for example. The whole reason they target the ad revenue of websites and they are targeting Russell Brand’s … and Elon Musk’s ad revenue, because that is the easiest and most effective way to cripple their capacities. Russell Brand will still be around but he will not be able to hire people, have a production studio…he will no longer be an INDUSTRIAL SIZE media participant. The news will be dominated by those with CAPACITIES.

“They want to Up build Mainstream and the Censorship industry and kill the capacities of Alt News.

“IT IS ALL ABOUT CAPACITY TARGETING.…

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

So I went looking into Mike Benz and found this 2 month old video.

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on July 18, 2023, Patrick talks with former US State Dept. official and executive director of Foundation for Freedom Online, Mike Benz, about the rise of the public-private mass-censorship industry based in Washington DC and Silicon Valley, but whose tentacles now span internationally. Federal agencies like the DHS (and its censorship arm CISA), the FBI and others – have built a command and control communications pipeline directly into Big Tech, and deploy weaponized A.I. tools – where they can enact speech control operations and manipulate political outcomes, and even elections. We discuss its emergence following Crimea’s breakaway from Ukraine in 2014, and its proliferation in the aftermath of the 2016 election of Trump. All this and more.

INTERVIEW: Mike Benz – ‘Exposing Gov-Big Tech Censorship Industry’

This is a very, very good interview. If nothing else watch from 30 minutes to the end (39 minutes) It is about ‘Data Scrapping’ and the use of AI to do automated censorship. Before that he discusses the EU putting in place censorship laws that are coming out of NATO. Remember NATO started out with Hitler’s Chief of staff becoming NATO’s Chief of staff: Nazi war criminals became high ranking commanders in NATO after WW2

phoenixrising(@phoenixrising) explains why Russell Brand was targeted. (Seems I am in good company. 🤓 )

 September 24, 2023 12:39 … #1160030

Exactly why Russell Brand got cancelled.

“The pandemic created at least 40 new Big Pharma billionaires; pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1,000 in profit every second from the Covid-19 vaccines; more than two-thirds of Congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies in the 2020 election; Pfizer Chairman Albert Bourla told Time magazine in July 202[?] that his company was developing a Covid vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money, and of course Pfizer made a $100 billion dollars in profit in 2022.”

Maher, desperately trying to get a word in edgewise on his own show, reminded Brand that “a lot of people would be dead without the vaccine.”

To which Brand snapped back: “If you have an economic system in which pharmaceutical companies benefit hugely from medical emergencies, where the military industrial complex benefits from war, where energy companies benefit from energy crisis, you are going to generate states of permanent crisis where the interests of ordinary people separate from the interests of the elite.”

Dear KMAG: 20230925 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

And then Random Nuisance vetoes a state groomer bill in California? What’s up with that? Is he reading the tea leaves? Hmmmmmm.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Just a Reflection . . . Dim and Obscured

In 1 Corinthians 13:8–13, the apostle Paul compares the Christian virtue of love to other highly prized spiritual gifts and finds them all lacking. Love is uniquely superior (verse 8). As Christians, we share in giving and receiving the grace of God’s love (see 1 John 4:8, 16). This earthly experience of God’s divine love gives us a taste of His perfect grace and glory. Through the love of Christ poured into our hearts (see Ephesians 3:17; Romans 5:5), we participate to a limited degree in the full perfection we will know and enjoy when we stand in God’s presence in eternity: “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12, ESV).

Paul explains that spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and knowledge are temporary and partial. Eventually, they “will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless” (1 Corinthians 13:8–10, NLT). In our current state of existence, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are valuable to us and to the church, but their worth will run out when we are face to face with the Lord in heaven. These gifts only give us an obscured, unfinished picture of our spiritual reality, and they will ultimately pass away.

Paul uses two illustrations to explain this truth. First, he employs the example of a child maturing into adulthood: “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me” (1 Corinthians 13:11). Right now, we are like children playing with plastic toys that will wear out and become unusable. One day we will trade them in for the enduring, grown-up, perfection of eternity. Second, Paul contrasts looking at someone in a dull, dimly lit mirror with meeting that person face to face. In the Greco-Roman world, mirrors were fashioned out of polished metal discs that reflected a blurred, imperfect image, nothing like seeing someone up close, in vivid, eye-to-eye clarity.

Thus, now we see in a mirror dimly is Paul’s figure of speech for “now we have imperfect knowledge and understanding.” The New Living Translation renders the imagery like so: “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely” (1 Corinthians 13:12, NLT). Flawless understanding and unrestricted knowledge of matters pertaining to God and His kingdom will only be achieved when we meet Jesus Christ in person.

The apostle John affirms that our knowledge of Jesus is partial now but will become clear when we see Him face to face: “Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is” (1 John 3:2, NLT).

Within the Scriptures, we have the complete revelation of God, but our understanding of it remains limited (see 1 Corinthians 8:1–3). As we grow in the faith, we undergo a process of spiritual maturation as individual believers (2 Peter 3:18) and together as the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–16). Paul calls this progressive development toward Christian maturity “the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14, ESV). It is our heavenward journey of intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ.

Along the way, we must stay laser-focused on Jesus, who is the trailblazing forerunner of our quest (Hebrews 12:1–2). He demonstrates the way through His perfect obedience to the Father (John 4:34; 5:30; Luke 22:42). As the Author and Perfecter of our faith, He not only inspires us, but Christ also empowers us to grow toward our heavenly stature. He starts the good work in us and “will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

In the meantime, until the Lord returns or we reach heaven, we have limited understanding and knowledge—we see in a mirror dimly. But one day our onward and upward growth in ever-increasing degrees of Christian maturity will culminate in heavenly perfection as “we bear the image of the heavenly man” (1 Corinthians 15:49).

2023·09·23 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

A Caution

Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.

State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.

Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!

SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom

I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”

Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.

Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?

Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?

And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:

OK, with that rant out of my system…

Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit

…we can move on to the next one.

Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.

Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.

Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!

It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.

In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.

Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot Prices

All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).

Last Week:

Platinum $937.00
Palladium $1,287.00
Rhodium $4,450.00

Wow…this is very little movement. Noise level in fact. Except for silver where just under 50 cents up is actually significant, proportionately speaking.

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Dear KAG: 20230921 Open Thread & TGIF!!!

Since I do not drink, you are going to get MY use of alcohol, Coq au Vin or chicken in wine. Since I am on a rather limited budget I buy a (cheap on sale) 10 lb bag of chicken legs quarters (leg & thigh).

After years as an analytical chemist/quality engineer, I have had my fill of precise measurements so I REFUSE to do precise measurement in my kitchen unless it is for cooking rice.

So here is my recipe for chicken in wine.

1. Preheat your oven to 400F, you will be turning it down to 325F but this means it will not cool off drastically when you add the chicken.

2. Place the spices you wished to use such as salt, pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder…. In a small bowl and mix well. By doing this you do not have to repeatedly wash and dry your hands.

3. Wash each leg well and place into a Pyrex casserole (with lid.) I find that I usually need three. (Do not pat dry since you are moist cooking the legs.)

4. Layer the leg quarters coating each layer liberally with the spice mix. Do not over fill making sure that the lid will fit snugly.

5. Once the casserole is full, carefully pour ¼ to 1/3 cup of your favorite wine down the side of the casserole. I use a nice white Riesling. Many people use a red wine.

6. Place the lid on the casserole, place in the oven and turn down to 325 F. Cook for between 1 hour and 1 ½ hours. Since the wine will keep the chicken from drying out I ‘over cook’ until the chicken is close to falling off the bone.

7. Sliced, onions, carrots, potatoes, whole mushrooms can be added as you wish but I never bother.

This recipe will leave you with lots of left-overs. The chicken can be de-boned and the bones used to make soup. Some of the meat can be used in salads as well as sandwiches and of course the soup. The broth gets saved and frozen to be added to soups.

Oh, and enjoy a glass of wine from the opened bottle with your dinner.

If you want a more traditional recipe…

Julia Child’s Coq au Vin – The Endless Meal®

Coq au vin might sound fancy but it is really just a simple chicken dish that anyone can master. Don’t be intimidated, this recipe is very easy to follow.

Again I am going to rely on Q tree commenters to bring the breaking news. We can start with Burning Bright’s Badlands news brief headlines. (The comments unless other wise stated are mine.)

Badlands News Brief: Trump Skips Debates, FED Paralyzed & Garland Grilled

HEADLINES

Trump to Woo Striking Union Members in Detroit, Skipping 2nd G.O.P. Debate

Smart move on POTUS Trump’s part. I imagine the Union members are NOT happy with the last three years of Biden given they are striking for better wages.

FOMC Leaves Rates Unchanged, Signals Much More Hawkish 2024

Rates unchanged (in target range of 5.25%-5.5%, a 22-year high) but hawkish-er than expected forecast for rates… but at the same time signaled a ‘soft landing’ with higher growth forecasts.

Dot plot’ of rate projections shows policymakers still foresee one more hike this year, but 2024 and 2025 rate projections each rose by a half-percentage point, a signal the Fed expects rates to stay higher for longer…

I agree with Justin’s take on this.

Our Take: “Rates stayed the same, which, if you recall, the hike caused significant bank failures earlier this year. The goal? Controlled implosion of the economy for political needs—2024 elections—and preamble to the great reset.

If you know how to ride a falling economy and capture certain assets on the flip side, you’ll weather this storm rather well. That said, if the great reset happens, no one will be unaffected.

Pray that Trump’s vengeance is swift and full.” —  Justin Deschamps

I will add that this is all part of the Cabal’s shift to a digital bank currency aka FULL ENSLAVEMENT.

I will remind people of this from North Carolina and other states Medical groups (Think UNC and Ralph Baric)

 Hospitals to begin monitoring your credit card purchases to flag ‘unhealthy’ habits

What you buy at the grocery store, where you live, and even your membership status at the local gym are all subject to a new data collection scheme by the American medical system. Reports indicate that hospitals and doctors’ offices all across the country are now collecting this and other personal information in order to target individuals deemed to have “unhealthy” lifestyle habits that put them at high risk of disease.

Bloomberg reports that hospital systems in both North and South Carolina as well as Pennsylvania have already begun tracking people’s food-purchasing habits by spying on them through public records and credit card transactions. Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which operates some 900 care centers throughout the Carolinas, has teamed up with a data-mining company to compile and track this information for the later purpose of calling “high-risk” folks and urging them to make a change.

“What we are looking to find are people before they end up in trouble,” stated Michael Dulin, chief clinical officer for analytics and outcomes at CHS, to Bloomberg. “The idea is to use big data and predictive models to think about population health and drill down to the individual levels to find someone running into trouble that we can reach out to and try to help out.”….

Garland grilled by House Republicans on Hunter Biden, Trump investigations

What a piece of Dog vomit slime mold Garland is. I hope they find something to indict the guy on so HE can experience what the J6ers and POTUS Trump are going through.

Burning Bright says “Listening to Garland speak raises my blood pressure…” I whole heartily agree!

The ‘Kitchen Sink’ Is McCarthy’s Only Path To Avoid Shutdown, And It Probably Won’t Work

…On Tuesday, House Republicans were forced to cancel a procedural vote for a 30-day stopgap funding measure (Continuing Resolution) to keep the government’s lights on beyond Sept. 30. Hours later, five GOP lawmakers crossed the aisle to vote with Democrats to bring down the rule for the Pentagon’s spending bill.

As Punchbowl News puts it: “Tuesday was a bad day for McCarthy and House Republicans.”

The problem for Kevin is that he needs votes from members of the Freedom Caucus, who are demanding that the CR be spliced up so that it doesn’t fund ‘the election interference of Jack Smith,’…

McCarthy can also throw a Hail Mary and pander to Democrats for the votes he needs to pass the CR, however doing so would likely seal his fate over a looming threat by Gaetz and others to remove him from his post.

Burning Bright has a very interesting take on the situation. I certainly hope McCarthy does cave to the Freedom Caucus this time around.

“Kevin McCarthy, rightly or wrongly is seen by both disillusioned Democrats and Republicans as representative of the Uniparty in the current American political zeitgeist.

As such, Matt Gaetz and the Freedom Caucus, who are largely seen as those ostensibly doing Trump’s will in the people’s house, have him bent over a barrel when it comes to both the Actuals and Narratives of funding the US government.

If McCarthy caves to Dem demands to fund the War in Ukraine, he continues to draw a line between America First and the Uniparty. If he caves to the Freedom Caucus, it represents a marked shift in Establishment deal-making in favor of sovereign nationalism, proving the movement has real power, even without Trump IN power.

When you combine that with the knowledge that Trump de facto installed McCarthy as Speaker, you begin to see the game, which is a story.”

Badlands Media Special Coverage: Court Hearing – We The People AZ vs. Runbeck

2 hours and 46 minutes. — Runbeck is trying to say the American People have no right to see their records (NOT subject to public records requests.) Runbeck’s problem is they are a SOLE SPECIALTY provider/contractor. Ashe does a nice synopsis and ends with the fact the judge will rule later.

This is a very important case.

As a side note, thanks to Reagan’s attempt to shrink government, the Cabal just moved government work to contractors and are NOW trying to say since they are PRIVATE companies, they are not subject to public record requests. This allows the Cabal to hide criminal activity by shunting it off to private companies. We saw this in the Russia Hoax. That is why I said this is a very important case.

Former NZ PM Ardern Urges United Nations To ‘Crack Down On Free Speech As A Weapon Of War’

Again I am going to crib from badlands because this is too important NOT to spread.

Jacinda Ardern may no longer be Prime Minister of New Zealand, but she was back at the United Nations continuing her call for international censorship.

Ardern is now one of the leading anti-free speech figures in the world and continues to draw support from political and academic establishments.

In her latest attack on free speech, Ardern declared free speech as a virtual weapon of war.

She is demanding that the world join her in battling free speech as part of its own war against “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

Her views, of course, were not only enthusiastically embraced by authoritarian countries, but the government and academic elite. — Jonathan Turley

Burning Brights commentary on this is worth the read.

I am going to add an old comment I made on New Zealand for background.

Will Zoll wrote a three part series that starts with NEW ZEALAND. It is about the EuroDollar = US Dollars that are NOT in the USA. He starts with a section about New Zealand and the fact it is a MAJOR TAX HAVEN… HMMMMmmmm

He also mentions several billionaires headed there when Covid started.  

Havens, Horse Heads and Hermann – Part I

[Jacinda Ardern ]… While she is most-certainly 

not the focus of this article, we must review the highlights of her career as one of the most unashamed modern-day globalists ever to lead a nation:

“In 2005, at 25 years of age, she worked for 2 ½ years for British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.In 2007, she was elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY).She is a member of the ReichsWEF and one of Klaus Schwab’s favorite Young Global Leaders.In 2017, she formed a minority government and became Prime Minister of New Zealand; a position she recently resigned from.Jacinda and Hillary Clinton have a very close relationship.“

….People generally think of tax havens as being in the Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Luxembourg and a host of publicly promoted jurisdictions. In the past, Switzerland was renowned for its private banking secrecy, where dubious deposits flowed freely into Suisse bank accounts.

How many people knew about where the ultimate tax haven was located…

HMMmmmmm…

The rest of the series:

Havens, Horse Heads and Hermann – Part II
Havens, Horse Heads and Hermann – Part III
As usual the entire series is well worth the read.

I will end with asking for continuing prayers for DePat, her Mom and her family as they go through this most trying time.

Dear KAG: 20230921 Open Thread and the Fog of War.

First prayers for  Deplorable Patriot, her Mom and her Family. May God be with all of them to support and heal them.

One of the Cabal’s favorite methods of control is rewriting history or making it completely disappear. This applies not only to history but to the rewriting of science. Recently I have run into repeated examples of this. I want to document them so examples are available.

SCIENCE REWRITTEN – These are in no particular order.

…The ice core analysis method switched from an analysis of the WHOLE SAMPLE to analysis of the CO2 left in the air bubble. This newer method gives much lower CO2 numbers. that do not agree with the older numbers or with the plant stomata data. SEE: link

However the paper NOW READS:

2. Biomass production In order to determine how physiological responses to low [CO2] manifest themselves at the whole-plant level, plants must be grown for a full generation at low [CO2]. Such studies have shown that the average biomass production of modern C3 plants is reduced by c. 50% when grown at low (180–220 ppm) vs modern (350–380 ppm) [CO2], when other conditions are optimal (Sage & Coleman, 2001; Fig. 5). There is, however, variation in this response among C3 species (Fig. 5), as well as within C3 species, whereby reductions in biomass may vary by 40–70% among genotypes (Ward & Strain, 1997; Hovenden & Schimanski, 2000; Mohan et al., 2004). In addition, as [CO2] declines to 150 ppm, biomass production may be reduced by as much as 92%, as was observed in A. theophrasti (Dippery et al., 1995; Figs 2, 5).

What is interesting is the Wayback Machine has the same paragraph BUT the earliest save is September 2019, almost a decade after the paper was written and a couple years after Latitude  pointed it out to me in a comment.

A decade ago when I first comment on this there was a Peer-reviewed paper saying C3 plants starve below 200 ppm. It was of course removed from the internet.

notice how ‘inconvenient’ data disappears from the internet. Well I followed the trail on internet censorship with COMMENTS STARTING HERE.

Speaking of people with direct knowledge, there is this comment from a guy posting at Tony Heller’s. He TRASHES the ‘conventional wisdom’ about CO2 toxicity.

Gail : that’s great info, the only points I disagree with are on the upper CO2 limits.

( 2,000 ppm starts to become toxic ) most plant types can handle many times that,

tests have shown that even 50,000 ppm can be tolerated by some plant species.

……………………………………………………

( 4,000 ppm it becomes toxic to humans ) only under adverse work conditions,

the US Navy Submariners go for many weeks at 8,000 ppm as long as O2 is sufficient.

I’ve worked with CO2 for many years in Hospitals ; it’s not that dangerous provided that the Oxygen saturation, has not been compromised in the area of breathing.

Then Tony Heller’s blog was attacked.

You probably have noticed that the blog has been broken for weeks.  The previous hosting service ran out of disk space and deleted tens of thousands of image files without my permission.  They also failed to keep a backup of the site before deleting the images. Then they shut the blog down completely and sent me this message :

“(you are) very illustrative of why the country so hates right-wing influencers who can’t see beyond their own grift and selfish hypocrisy”

I am now working with a respectable hosting service, but it will take some time to restore the tens of thousands of damaged blog posts.  Thanks for your patience.

I’ve been posting at realclimate.science as well.

My Personal Troll, Mr G Edward Griffin and Rewriting History

I mentioned a few days ago that I had acquired a personal troll. Richard Courtney @ WUWT trashes the Bankster’s Troll in 2013 HERE. And then he showed up a CTH in 2018 and admitted stalking me HERE.

Why the stalking? Because I brought G. Edward Griffin and the Federal Reserve Fraud to the attention of the people at WUWT.

Most are aware of A Talk by G. Edward Griffin, Author of The Creature from Jekyll Island Since I refer to it here occasionally. Quotes from this article are what attracted the negative attention of the Troll. He used Ad hominem  to attack Griffin saying Griffin is a John Bircher. However there is a lot of other DANGEROUS information by Griffin that needed to be hidden too and I think that was the basis for the attack. Most of the information is now only available via archive.

Part 1: The Chasm The Future Is Calling (Part One) © 2003 – 2007 by G. Edward Griffin Revised 2007 September 18

…Where do we find this evidence? The first place to look is in history. The past is the key to the present, and we can never fully understand where we are today unless we know what path we traveled to get here. It was Will Durant who said: “Those who know nothing about history are doomed forever to repeat it.” …

THE HIDDEN AGENDA

…the year 1954 and, suddenly, we find ourselves in the plush offices of the Ford Foundation in New York City. There are two men seated at a large, Mahogany desk, and they are talking. They cannot see or hear us, but we can see them very well. One of these men is Rowan Gaither, who was the 3 President of the Ford Foundation at that time. The other is Mr. Norman Dodd, the chief investigator for what was called the Reece Committee, which was a Congressional committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations. The Ford Foundation was one of those, so he is there as part of his Congressional responsibilities. In 1982, I met Mr. Dodd in his home state of Virginia where, at the time, I had a television crew gathering interviews for a documentary film. I previously had read his testimony and realized how important it was; so, when our crew had open time, I called him on the telephone and asked if he would be willing to make a statement before our cameras, and he said, “Of course.” I’m glad we obtained the interview when we did, because Dodd was advanced in years, and it wasn’t long afterward that he passed away. We were very fortunate to capture his story in his own words. What we are about to witness from our time machine was confirmed in minute detail twenty years later and preserved on video. The reason for Dodd’s investigation was that the American public had become alarmed by reports that large tax-exempt foundations were promoting the ideologies of Communism and Fascism and advocating the elimination of the United States as a sovereign nation. As far back as the 1930s, William Randolph Hearst had written a series of blistering editorials in his national chain of newspapers in which he cited Carnegie Foundation publications that spouted Communist slogans identical to what was coming from the Communist Party itself. When the Carnegie Endowment published an article written by Joseph Stalin attacking Capitalism and praising Communism, Hearst called it “propaganda, pure and simple.”…

This is very critical because of what Mr Griffin says later in the article.

A STRATEGY TO CONTROL THE TEACHING OF HISTORY

…The question that arises in Mr. Dodd’s mind is: How would it be possible for anyone to think they could alter life in the United States so it could be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union and, by implication, with other nations of the world? What an absurd thought that would be – especially in 1954…

The answer was provided by the Carnegie Endowment Fund for International Peace, the same group that had been the center of controversy in the 1930s. When Dodd visited that organization and began asking about their activities, the President said, “Mr. Dodd, you have a lot of questions. It would be very tedious and time consuming for us to answer them all, so I have a counter proposal…

This is what those minutes revealed: From the very beginning, the members of the board discussed how to alter life in the United States; how to change the attitudes of Americans to give up their traditional principles and concepts of government and be more receptive to what they call the collectivist model of society…

At the Carnegie Foundation board meetings, they discussed this question in a scholarly fashion. After months of deliberation, they came to the conclusion that, out of all of the options available for altering political and social attitudes, there was only one that was historically dependable. That option was war. In times of war, they reasoned, only then would people be willing to give up things they cherish in return for the desperate need and desire for security against a deadly enemy. And so the Carnegie Endowment Fund for International Peace declared in its minutes that it must do whatever it can to bring the United States into war. They also said there were other actions needed, and these were their exact words: “We must control education in the United States.” They realized that was a pretty big order, so they teamed up with the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation to pool their financial resources to control education in America – in particular, to control the teaching of history. They assigned those areas of responsibility that involved issues relating to domestic affairs to the Rockefeller Foundation, and those issues relating to international affairs were taken on as the responsibility of the Carnegie Endowment. Their first goal was to rewrite the history books, and they discussed at great length how to do that. They approached some of the more prominent historians of the time and presented to them the proposal that they rewrite history to favor the concept of collectivism, but they were turned down flat. Then they decided – and, again, these are their own words, “We must create our own stable of historians.” They selected twenty candidates at the university level who were seeking doctorates in American History. Then they went to the Guggenheim Foundation and said, “Would you grant fellowships to candidates selected by us, who are of the right frame of mind, those who see the value of collectivism as we do? Would you help them to obtain their doctorates so we can then propel them into positions of prominence and leadership in the academic world?” And the answer was “Yes.” So they gathered a list of young men who were seeking their doctorate degrees. They interviewed them, analyzed their attitudes, and chose the twenty they thought were best suited for their purpose. They sent them to London for a briefing. (In a moment I will explain why London is so significant.) At this meeting, they were told what would be expected if and when they win the doctorates they were seeking. They were told they would have to view history, write history, and teach history from the perspective that collectivism was a positive force in the world and was the wave of the future….

I think you can see why that information would be dangerous to the Cabal at that time. Now they are open about rewriting history.
