This is another Wolf Emergency Post for a THURSDAY.

Our dear DePat needs some Z’s amidst the Christmas schedule, and she’s gonna get some.
I am throwing together this quickie to keep the conversation going!
‘Nuff said. Have a great Thursday!

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
‘Nuff said. Have a great Thursday!
Whatever. It’s ONE state.
Umm…..
Asphalt….
Have a good day y’all.
(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)
And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.
Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For with God nothing will be impossible.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
Oops….
That’s the best I can do today.
RED flag? Biden needs a white flag.
Oh, hey what could go wrong?
A little late now.
Whatever. He needs to take his high heeled boots, and beat it.
X Has Already Won Elon Musk closed the acquisition of Twitter, now X, in October of 2022. Once that deal was closed, a bunch of advertisers left the platform out of fear of their brands being impacted by the new “Freedom of Speech” rules that X was looking to implement. The premise was that ads would be shown next to content that advertisers don’t want to be associated with, and because X would now allow more “improper” content, the chances of having a negative ad experience could increase. After leaving the platform for a few weeks, almost all advertisers have come back, albeit with lower ad spends. However, earlier this year, X gave guidance that the platform is near cash-flow neutral, minus debt obligations. This means that even though the platform has suffered losses in terms of ad revenue, the company is close to being self-sufficient. In other words, no outside cash has to be brought into the company to keep it alive, as long as the trend continues. Fast forward a few months, and after controversial comments made by Elon and an effort by Media Matters to encourage advertisers to boycott the platform, advertisers left again. However – just like the first time, after a few weeks, advertisers are beginning to come back. There’s confirmation that Netflix has started to spend ad money on the platform again, and per Elon at his recent conference in Italy, advertisers are beginning to come back to the platform en masse. I think all of this points to something quite clear – the Overton Window is beginning to shift, and with it, a massively profitable endeavor for advertisers. For those that are not familiar, the Overton Window is a term used to express what is “acceptable” to be discussed in a given time period. If you compare what is acceptable to be discussed on X today, vs what was acceptable on Twitter pre-acquisition, you can very clearly see that the “acceptable” topics are much more diverse and plentiful. This means that the Overton Window has shifted. Another example of this is also on YouTube. A few days ago, Mario hosted a space with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and other folks discussing Alex’s reinstatement and a bunch of other topics. These topics pre-acquisition would not be admissible under Twitter’s former rules. What’s really interesting is that after making this edited content available on YouTube, YouTube has a) not taken down the content from the platform and b) allowed monetization on the content. This implies that advertisers are now becoming comfortable advertising on content that they weren’t comfortable with in the past. What does this mean for X? It’s quite simple – X’s willingness to stand for Free Speech, even when the CEO makes statements that cause the business to temporarily lose revenue, is creating a brand new market for advertisers that previously did not exist precisely due to an unwillingness to embrace Freedom of Speech. And because X’s entire approach has been to uphold Freedom of Speech and accept the repercussions that come with it, the platform has positioned itself as the premier place for content that will be generated on this principle. This same content is a market that advertisers have had 0 access to in the past because of the unwillingness of platforms to embrace Freedom of Speech, and the skittishness of ad agencies to sully their brands with controversial topics. On top of this, it’s a market that is untapped, which will generate billions of views, and billions of dollars, for creators and advertisers alike. I do not suspect we’ll see another advertisers boycott in the future because of this dynamic. There’s way too much money to be made, and now that the Overton Window has shifted to where the “public” is now “comfortable” with listening to dissenting and controversial opinions, advertisers will be tripping over themselves to advertise on X over the long term. In my opinion, people respect the notion of being allowed to think for themselves, and because this has been subdued for far too long, there will be an avalanche of interest for content that is specifically challenging and controversial. Ultimately, this will be massively profitable for advertisers due to the engagement and attention it’ll receive from the public. I posited when Elon bought the platform that X would win if they could make Freedom of Speech profitable, and I think we’re starting to see glimpses of this being the case.
Just to clear the air in the middle of deliberate confusing of affairs….
AP reporting and not a conspiracy network????????????? Uh-oh.
Ahh, the 80s
Have a cocktail or two while waiting. Better yet, make out your will.
Eff off.
Something to remember, always.
Per the boss’s instruction:
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
Gorgeous instruments. Although…the Marines have a better sound.
Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

5In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12And Zechari’ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; 15for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, 17and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli’jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 18And Zechari’ah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 20And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21And the people were waiting for Zechari’ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. 23And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. 24After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, 25“Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

They’re all variations on a theme….
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).
Wheatie’s Rules:
“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:
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
In molecular biology, G-quadruplex secondary structures (G4) are formed in nucleic acids by sequences that are rich in guanine.[2] They are helical in shape and contain guanine tetrads that can form from one,[3] two[4] or four strands.[5] The unimolecular forms often occur naturally near the ends of the chromosomes, better known as the telomeric regions, and in transcriptional regulatory regions of multiple genes, both in microbes[6][7] and across vertebrates [8][7] including oncogenes in humans.[9] Four guanine bases can associate through Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding to form a square planar structure called a guanine tetrad (G-tetrad or G-quartet), and two or more guanine tetrads (from G-tracts, continuous runs of guanine) can stack on top of each other to form a G-quadruplex.
The placement and bonding to form G-quadruplexes is not random and serve very unusual functional purposes. The quadruplex structure is further stabilized by the presence of a cation, especially potassium, which sits in a central channel between each pair of tetrads.[3] They can be formed of DNA, RNA, LNA, and PNA, and may be intramolecular, bimolecular, or tetramolecular.[10] Depending on the direction of the strands or parts of a strand that form the tetrads, structures may be described as parallel or antiparallel. G-quadruplex structures can be computationally predicted from DNA or RNA sequence motifs,[11][12] but their actual structures can be quite varied within and between the motifs, which can number over 100,000 per genome. Their activities in basic genetic processes are an active area of research in telomere, gene regulation, and functional genomics research.[13][14]
LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-quadruplex
Those genetic bases (the little flat molecules with one or two rings and lots of “N” and “O” in them) can not only bond to each other in PAIRS between different bases – the base guanine (G) can bond to itself if it makes a circle big enough for FOUR of them instead of just a pair (see left picture above). Sometimes a metal ion in the center can help this happen.
This competing form of binding disrupts the nice, neat, normal “double helix” binding, but not permanently.
When G4 binding happens, there are many working ways that the little squares can form. These squares tend to STACK just like in normal DNA, and so sequences that are rich in guanine can build these stacks easily, if the guanines are in the right places. Alternatively, two or more strands of DNA or RNA can join in these knots, but at a minimum, a single strand can do it, as shown on the right of the graphic above, where the sequence knots up against itself.
Note that this is more like “knots in velcro”, and not like various circling knots we are familiar with.
“For over two decades, the prime objective of the chemical biology community studying G-quadruplexes (G4s) has been to use chemicals to interact with and stabilize G4s in cells to obtain mechanistic interpretations.”

The COVID vaccine mRNA is not natural – and not only in that normal bases are substituted with modified bases. It also has been “codon optimized”, meaning the very sequence of bases was changed from the viral sequence, by substituting base triplets with synonymous ones, that are known to process faster in humans. But the problem is that these changes are rich in guanine, making the knotting more likely. This not-fully-equivalent substitution has potential pharmacological consequences. In a sense, viral evolutionary intelligence was ignored (a beautiful point made by Kevin McKernan).
Kevin is not commenting about the transcription process shown here. He is NOT talking about the red DNA strand, either. He is commenting about the yellow strand of mRNA which is being produced.
“Now add N1 methyl Pseudouridine and watch that yellow strand turn into quadruplex G knot.”
He is saying that if you change the uridines in that molecule to N1-methyl-pseudouridine, as was done in the Pfizer vaccine, the yellow strand of mRNA will “kink up” with G-quadruplex knots.
He explains that further, when somebody wrongly claims the video is showing translation (creation of proteins) and not transcription (creation of mRNA). Observe.
So to sum up, he is saying that the “good” “yellow” mRNA produced in the video was corrupted by the modifications that were made to it by Pfizer.
He says the following things:
The DeMarinis paper showed that the Pfizer vaccine can be reverse-transcribed from mod-RNA back into DNA by human liver cells. Reverse transcription would look pretty much like the video of transcription, except that RNA would be read, and DNA would spit out.
Whether that DNA is incorporated into the genome or not is unknown, but it is a huge concern, because another group (Jaenisch paper) showed that the COVID virus SARS-CoV-2 can and does incorporate its spike into the genome of some patients, AND yet another group (Mehedi paper) showed that the viral spike shepherds its own mRNA into the nucleus of human cells, where reverse transcription could happen.
I wanted people to see a bigger point – that this repeated and coincidentally connected “bungling” by Pfizer and its allies, which weirdly matches WEF’s dream of “hacking humanity”, is worthy of a bit of suspicion.
When a trail of disconnected yet matching footprints goes in some direction, it’s rather logical that somebody was purposefully passing that way.
It sure looks to me like the various “negligent” yet clearly convenient aspects of this whole exercise, add up to an attempt to gain a population-wide hack into the human cell nucleus.
This Rejoice & Praise God Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.

In Hebrew, the words translated “holy” and “holiness” have to do with being “set apart,” “separate,” “different,” or “dedicated.” The absolute moral purity of God’s character sets Him apart, making Him different from every other living creature. Yet He calls His people to be holy as He is holy. Humans generally think of holiness as obeying God’s law. But, for God, holiness is not a mere action or a set of behaviors. Holiness is His essence. God is morally and ethically perfect by nature. So how can we set ourselves apart to reflect God’s holiness in the way we live?
The Bible reveals that God’s holiness of character is a model for believers’ lives and our shared communion with others. Both passages (Leviticus 19:2 and 1 Peter 1:16) and their surrounding verses stress that those who wish to replicate God’s holiness must reflect His holy nature in their relationships with other people and their sincere love for fellow believers.
In Leviticus 19:1–37, God applies the Ten Commandments to various areas of life, spelling out in great detail for the Israelites how to be holy as He is holy. They were to honor their parents, keep the Sabbath, not practice idolatry, worship and offer sacrifices properly according to God’s instructions, provide for the poor, not steal, cheat, seek revenge, and not follow pagan customs and rituals. The commands continue, covering every aspect of spiritual, moral, family, work, and community life. Included is the charge to “love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:18).
Peter also lays out how we can live in the light of God’s command to be holy as He is holy. First, he says to discipline our minds: “So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world” (1 Peter 1:13, NLT). We are to exercise self-control and stay alert both mentally and spiritually. This mental discipline requires a concentrated focus on trusting in the Lord to get us to our final destination, where we will experience the fullness of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.
Paul expresses it like this: “Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12–14, CSB). If we focus only on the short-term—our current situation—we run the risk of straying off course. But if we live with total trust that Jesus Christ will return to accomplish all that He started in us (Philippians 1:6), it will make a significant difference in how we live.
“You must live as God’s obedient children,” says Peter, “Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires” (1 Peter 1:14, NLT). When we “do not conform to the evil desires” (NIV) we had before we came to know Christ, we live in response to God’s holiness, adopting His behavior as our pattern.
This change of behavior begins on the inside with our attitude and mind-set. When our inner thought life, our purpose, and our character are changed into the image of Christ, our outward selves and outworking behavior will alter naturally. This process is the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).
As part of his teaching on cultivating holiness, Peter instructs believers to “live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear” (1 Peter 1:17). Living as strangers here on earth hammers home the idea that our earthly lives with all their challenges and struggles are only temporary. Even in our pain, we can live with hope as citizens of a future heavenly reality. Reverent fear refers to humble, respectful awe of God, which motivates us to live obedient, holy lives.
Finally, Peter makes the point that living in the light of God’s holiness means demonstrating “sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart” (1 Peter 1:22, NLT).
Believers ought to be notably different from non-believers and their old selves because of their relationship with God through Jesus Christ. His holy presence in our lives produces in us a loving obedience to God’s Word, which ultimately forms God’s character in us. If we are set apart for God’s use, separated from our old, common way of living, we are following God’s command to “be holy for I am holy.”

Just a friendly reminder Speaker Johnson. You’re doing some good things–or at least trying in the case of the budget–but this is the most important thing out there still hanging. One initial block released with the promise of more…and?
We have American patriots being held without bail and without trial, and the tapes almost certainly contain exculpatory evidence. (And if they don’t, and we’re all just yelling in an echo chamber over here, we need to know that too. And there’s only one way to know.)
Either we have a weaponized, corrupt government or we have a lot of internet charlatans. Let’s expose whatever it is. (I’m betting it’s the corrupt weaponized government, but if I am wrong, I’d like to see proof.)
One of my stock jokes is to say, as I head off to the bathroom or washroom or restroom, “I’m going to go make a political statement.”
It certainly seems like urinating is a good way to make a statement about the YSM, and defecating works for politicians. Or the other way around is good too, though “#1” just never seems emphatic enough.
Maybe “#1” is just being polite, and “#2” is telling the fixtures what you really think.
Anyhow, I pretty much do plan to be polite to RINOs that electioneer or fundraise. I’ll tell them, Sorry, but I need to GO Pee…
In the next piece I had to discuss a particular topic. Unfortunately, I couldn’t discuss it without naming it. Therefore I apologize in advance for having to do so, and apologize to anyone offended by the sight of the name.
[Well, perfect timing for this one to pop up in the rotation again!]
RINO McDaniel continues to infest the GOP. But RINO McDaniel isn’t the problem.
Let me be crystal clear on this, RINO McDaniel is a lower-than-whale-shit, piss guzzling ratfucking shit eating traitorous rancid syphillitic cunt. Her worth as a human being is substantially less than zero, any oxygen sucked into her lungs is wasted, and it would be, no matter what job she had.
I fear I haven’t been clear enough, but that will have to suffice.
But she is not the problem…or rather, she would not be a problem were it not for others. She’d still be as I have described, but we wouldn’t know who she is and would not care, because she could do no damage. She’d just be anonymous human refuse.
No, the real problem is the fact that a majority of the 168 top GOP people voted for her. And now that has happened five times so they cannot claim they didn’t know what she was.
In spite of the fact that under her “leadership” the party has deliberately sabotaged the will of its base, has deliberately refused to challenge blatant election fraud, had gone out of its way to ensure certain candidates do not get nominated, has diverted donor money to namby-pamby candidates who have all the electoral appeal of a puddle of dog vomit…and in general has done nothing whatsoever to help fix the problems that plague America.
However that last is to be expected; I cannot expect anyone who IS the problem to help FIX the problem.
RINO McDaniel would be powerless without an entire party leadership of the same mind as her. They want this dismal performance; they want to ignore the party base.
If she were to drop dead this instant, it would solve nothing as someone just like her would be elected by those same pustulous people.
According to Charlie Kirk, about 55 people voted against her, 10-12 wanted something different but were too chickenshit to do the right thing, and roughly 100 people voted for her enthusiastically, and even had the unmitigated gall to complain to Kirk about US. Fuck ’em. Rusty 12 gauge bore brushes would be too good for these arrogant pricks and cunts.
Every single one of those hundred is just as bad as she is. In other words, they are all worse than I described at the beginning of this piece. And no doubt those people in turn have people who supported them to be state party chairs and whateveritis they call the other two people from each state and territory who were voting.
It’s time to face up to the fact that the Republican party is effectively owned by the shit-eating RINOs. We’ve got more work to do, a lot more work, to make the GOP an instrument for the restoration of the United States of America. And that’s in addition to cleaning up our elections.
There’s no point in cleaning up elections just to elect ratfucking RINOs.
OK, hopefully now you will have some inkling of my true attitude towards RINOs. Sorry that words were inadequate to give you the full picture.
*Or whoever has his hand rammed up that meat puppet’s ass.
Brandon (which I will use as a term for whoever is the power behind the Porcelain Throne) has thrown down the gauntlet…but in a way where most of America will never see it. The networks didn’t carry his tirade. CNN air brushed it (or whatever you call editing the red background) for its five viewers (who aren’t trapped in airports).
Luckily for me I live in Colorado, and therefore, despite my best efforts, I probably didn’t vote for Donald Trump.
Of course, for this purpose who I actually did try to vote for will be essential, and they undoubtedly know.
Come and get us, asswipes!

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.
Many times conservatives (real and fake) speak of “small government” being the goal.
This sounds good, and mostly is good, but it misses the essential point. The important thing here isn’t the size, but rather the purpose, of government. We could have a cheap, small tyranny. After all our government spends most of its revenue on payments to individuals and foreign aid, neither of which is part of the tyrannical apparatus trying to keep us locked down and censored. What parts of the government would be necessary for a tyranny? It’d be a lot smaller than what we have now. We could shrink the government and nevertheless find it more tyrannical than it is today.
No, what we want is a limited government, limited not in size, but rather in scope. Limited, that is, in what it’s allowed to do. Under current circumstances, such a government would also be much smaller, but that’s a side effect. If we were in a World War II sort of war, an existential fight against nasty dictatorships on the brink of world conquest, that would be very expensive and would require a gargantuan government, but that would be what the government should be doing. That would be a large, but still limited government, since it’d be working to protect our rights.
World War II would have been the wrong time to squawk about “small government,” but it wasn’t (and never is) a bad time to demand limited government. Today would be a better time to ask for a small government–at least the job it should be doing is small today–but it misses the essential point; we want government to not do certain things. Many of those things we don’t want it doing are expensive but many of them are quite eminently doable by a smaller government than the one we have today. Small, but still exceeding proper limits.
So be careful what you ask for. You might get it and find you asked for the wrong thing.
It’s really just a matter of people who can’t be happy unless they control others…versus those who want to be left alone. The oldest conflict within mankind. Government is necessary, but government attracts the assholes (a highly technical term for the control freaks).
I am pretty sure Joe Biden had nothing whatsoever to do with the 30 Years War that ran from 1618-1648 and probably killed about a third of the people then living in what is now Germany.
Nor did he cause the collapse of either Roman empire (Western, 476 CE, Eastern 1453 CE). Nor the ignominious failure of most of the Crusades. Nor the collapse of Bronze Age civilization around 1200 BCE (including the collapse of the Minoans and the blowup of Santorini).
However, my utter lack of ability to imagine how he could possibly be responsible for these things is not a valid argument against them, so I await correction if appropriate.
Again we saw an instance of “It might be true for Billy, but it’s not true for Bob” logic this week.
I hear this often, and it’s usually harmless. As when it’s describing differing circumstances, not different facts. “Housing is unaffordable” can be true for one person, but not for another who makes ten times as much.
But sometimes the speaker means it literally. Something like 2+2=4 is asserted to be true for Billy but not for Bob. (And when it’s literal, it’s usually Bob saying it.) And in that sense, it’s nonsense, dangerous nonsense. There is ONE reality, and it exists independent of our desires and our perceptions. It would go on existing if we weren’t here. We exist in it. It does not exist in our heads. It’s not a personal construct, and it isn’t a social construct. If there were no society, reality would continue to be what it is, it wouldn’t vanish…which it would have to do, if it were a social construct.
Now what can change from person to person is the perception of reality. We see that all the time. And people will, of course, act on those perceptions. They will vote for Trump (or try to) if their perception is close to mine, and vote against Trump (and certainly succeed at doing so) if their perception is distant from mine (and therefore, if I do say so, wrong). I have heard people say “perception is reality” and usually, that’s what they’re trying to say–your perception of reality is, as far as you know, an accurate representation of reality, or you’d change it.
But I really wish they’d say it differently. And sometimes, to get back to Billy and Bob, the person who says they have different truths is really saying they have different perceptions of reality–different worldviews. I can’t argue with the latter. But I sure wish they’d say it better. That way I’d know that someone who blabbers about two different truths is delusional and not worth my time, at least not until he passes kindergarten-level metaphysics on his umpteenth attempt.
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.)
Kitco “Ask” prices. Last week:
Gold $2,005.50
Silver $23.07
Platinum $927.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $4,950.00
This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.
Gold $2,020.90
Silver $23.97
Platinum $950.00
Palladium $1204.00
Rhodium $4,950.00
Down, then up, and closing down again…but still a net increase for the week if you can stomach the roller coaster. On the other hand palladium is going like gangbusters! It went up 66 bucks on Friday alone.
One person here commented on the fact that it appears the gold price is being suppressed artificially, advocating for people to get into bitcoin.
I don’t see bitcoin as viable for the long term. There are two individuals who hold the lion’s share of the bitcoin, and I’d hate to see them decide to cash in and dump it. That ever present fear will probably dictate agaiinst it being a world standard (plus it’s way too volatile in any case). There’s even worse potential for manipulation here than there is with gold. At least in principle there are plenty of places to find more gold; it’s just not easy.
Remember Hong Kong!!!

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!
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.
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:
乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
It’s brandy and cognac season. Your choice.
Gee, ya think?
Note the floor is void of colleagues.
The little green men narrative? Really Tucker?
For my fed sort surveillance people listening in:
And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
And Auntie DePat’s requests:

The above is an image of Father Christmas from a vintage postcard.
The following may be a bit “heavy” — please regard it as a kind of rich “Christmas Pudding” of COVID-19 “vaccine” knowledge base. Not a “lump of coal!”
Just in time for Christmas, Yours Truly presents a list of what she considers to be the “Top 12” types of damage that the COVID-19 “vaccines” can do to the body of the “vaccine” recipient. This list has been gathered from the 1600+ hours of investigating “all things COVID-19” that Yours Truly has done since March 2020. Therefore, it is only her opinion. People who read through the report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA on 30 April 2021, regarding the over 1,000 serious adverse events medical conditions that the company’s COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, caused in persons who took this “vaccine” IN FEWER THAN THREE MONTHS after the FDA granted the initial EUA for this “vaccine” in December 2020 for its use in the United States, may come up with “Top Lists” of their own. The report can be found here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, BNT162b2 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Events Reports. The APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, found at the end of the report, lists these serious adverse events conditions reports that BNT162b2 caused in “vaccinated” persons.
However, what is NOT opinion is that the FDA then knew, on 30 April 2021, that the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 (actually, an untried gene therapy injection), was capable of damaging the body of the “vaccine” recipient in over 1,000 different ways, including the ways on Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List..” However, instead of performing its regulatory (and moral and ethical) obligations to immediately pull BNT162b2 off the market and out of use until the situation could be further investigated, the FDA chose to CONTINUE the EUA that it granted in December 2020 for BNT162b2. Not only that, but the FDA went ahead and granted “full approval” for the use of the European version of BNT162b2, called COMIRNATY, in the United States. Not only that, but the FDA granted EUA’s for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “bivalent vaccine” to be used in the United States. Finally, in the spring of 2023, the FDA quietly stopped all use of BNT162b2 in the United States — in Yours Truly’s opinion, after mounting reports of serious adverse events, including deaths, being caused by this “vaccine” were beginning to circulate widely and to be confirmed by professional researchers and by doctors — and substituted the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech (and the Moderna) “booster vaccines” for the Omicron variant. In the summer of 2023, the FDA granted EUA’s for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and for the Moderna “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine”, which had only been tested on mice.
Here is Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List”: The first nine, from the APPENDIX 1. cited above:
Death: neonatal and Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (page 3 and page 8); Myocarditis and Pericarditis (page 6 and page 7); Stroke (Cerebral artery embolism page 2; Cerebral thrombosis, page 2); Thrombotic Stroke (page 9), among other types; THIRTY different types of Autoimmune disorders (page 2); FORTY different types of Herpes disorders (page 4 and page 5); THIRTY-PLUS different types of Liver disorders (page 4); TWENTY-FIVE different types of Immune System disorders (page 5); SIXTEEN different types of Neurological (brain and/or central nervous system) disorders (page 6); and, COVID-19 and COVID-19 Pneumonia (page 3).
As an example, here is a handy-dandy image of page 4 of the APPENDIX 1., with Yours Truly’s notes:
To round out the “Top 12 List” of COVID-19 “vaccine” damage to the body of the recipient, there are these three:
One: Heart tissue and lung tissue damage / destruction: Please refer to: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, by Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD; Two: Fetal / Neonatal disorders, including 1p36 deletion syndrome (also listed on page 1 of the APPENDIX 1.): Please refer to the following regarding 1p36 deletion syndrome: https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/1p36-deletion-syndrome/ (more on this condition below); and, Three: Cancer induced with the assistance of the SV40 cancer promoter DNA that has been recently discovered in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” (more on this below): Please refer to the following: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/mjc97, “DNA fragments detected in monovalent and bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada: Exploratory dose response relationship with serious adverse events”, David Speicher, Jessica Rose, Kevin McKernan, et al. From lines 94-95 of this paper: “McKernan, et al., found SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori [DNA], and SV40 polyA signal sequences in the Pfizer vaccines.” The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is also in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” that were used in the United States: https://rumble.com/v3r1pqf-vaccine-adulteration-wkevin-mckernan-byram-bridle-chris-martenson-steve-kir.html, beginning at 3:32 in the video. Please also refer to the letter of December 2023 from Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, to the directors of the FDA and the CDC: www.floridahealth.gov/about/_documents/12-06-2023-DOH-Letter-to-FDA-RFI-on-COVID-19-Vaccines.pdf. Yours Truly will posit that, since the modRNA + its spike protein and the “Process 2” manufacturing method for the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” by this company in use in the United States are both based on its original “vaccine” formulations (BNT162b2 and the “booster and bivalent vaccines”), it appears that this opens up the possibility that the SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is present in this “vaccine” also. Important: The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” is not the entire code, only a part of it. In and of itself, this “partial code” likely would not cause cancer; however, it can be involved in the general damage / destruction that the COVID-19 “vaccines” do to the “vaccine” recipient’s body, which can, in turn, be involved in the onset of cancer, or the re-emergence of cancer already in remission, in that person’s body. In addition, Pfizer-BioNTech DID NOT TELL the Canadian health authorities, nor, apparently, the FDA in the United States, about the SV40 issue.
About the 1p36 deletion syndrome caused by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: This is particularly troubling, since it effects UNBORN children and THE SPERM AND THE EGGS OF THE “VACCINATED” PARENTS. 1p36 deletion syndrome is a multi-faceted condition that negatively affects fetal development. Infants born with this condition have severe intellectual difficulties; weak muscle tone; have vision, hearing, and heart issues; and either do not speak, or can only speak a limited vocabulary; among other things. Please refer to the MedlinePlus link, above, for further information. It has been proven that large amounts of the dangerous lipid nanoparticles AND the enhanced spike protein + its modRNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” migrate to, and lodge in, two important areas of the recipient’s body — the OVARIES and the TESTES. Please refer to the image below, directly from Pfizer-BioNTech, on page 8 of a document that the company gave to the FDA on 21 January 2021. The document is called BNT162b2 2.6.5 Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary. It is available through https://phmpt.org/.
Please also refer to this graphic, which shows what the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do in the pregnant mother’s body and in the body her unborn child or her nursling child (this is from a CDC presentation):
1p36 deletion syndrome is “...caused by a deletion of genetic material from a specific region in the short (p) arm of chromosome 1…Most cases of 1p36 deletion syndrome are not inherited.” (per the MedlinePlus link, above.) Think about that.
Three “Christmas Bonuses” to to along with the “Top 12 List”: One: The COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, cause onset of psychosis in “vaccinated” persons. Please refer to the following: https://doi.org/10.24869/psyd.2022.377, “First Episode of Psychosis Following the COVID-19 Vaccination — A Case Series”, Tonka Borovina, et al.; Two: The risk of mortality increases for the “vaccinated” person for each injection they take of a COVID-19 “vaccine.” Please refer to the following: www.theburningplatform.com/2023/12/10/newly-leaked-data-shows-just-how-dangerous-the-covid-vaccines-are/; and, Three: The damage / destruction of the “vaccine” recipient’s immune system and connections to what is called “turbo-cancers” that this induces. Please refer to the following: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/igg4-and-cancer-a-mechanism-of-action; and, to https://vigilantnews.com/post/turbo-cancer-death-from-turbo-cancers-were-in-trouble-says-dr-ryan-cole/.
A final note on the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines” by both Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna: These apparently do include the ingredients (although in smaller amounts) of the original modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” made by each company (BNT162b2 by Pfizer-BioNTech; and, mRNA-1273 by Moderna), with additional elements of the Omicron XBB 1.5 variant lineage. Please refer to the following: www.fda.gov/media/167211/download, page 39 (Pfizer-BioNTech); www.fda.gov/media/167208/download, page 34 (Moderna); and, https://covid19.nih.gov/covid-19-vaccines.
As an aside, in case readers hear someone “congratulating themselves” for their taking either the Novavax or the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccines”, because they believed that somehow these “vaccines” are “safer” than those of Pfizer-BioNTech or of Moderna: The Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” uses the same modRNA + its spike protein as in the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccines.” The difference with the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is “marinated” in an insect culture, with the resulting modRNA “harvested” and mixed with “adjuvants” made from soap tree bark; this “vaccine” also uses lipid nanoparticles (LNPs.). The Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccine” was removed from use (revoked) in the United States by the FDA in May 2023. However, persons who took this “vaccine” prior to May 2023, are at risk for Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia, as listed on the “black letter warning” area on the (revoked) FDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for this “vaccine.” Please refer to the following: for the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/159897/download, page 33; www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/healthu/2022/08/09/novavax-vaccine-how-its-different-and-how-it-works; and, for the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) revoked COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/146304/download, page 1.
Yours Truly will make it clear she believes that COVID-19, in its variants forms, is still a threat to health. Since one is a concerned citizen, not a healthcare practitioner, one can only offer the following thoughts:
First: it is of primary importance that all people have, and maintain, the best level of personal health and immunity that is possible; “un-vaccinated” people have a primary responsibility here to themselves. Second: It is of primary importance that all “un-vaccinated” people follow a protocol for prophylaxis against COVID-19, such as those outlined at https://covid19criticalcare.com/, and including judicious exposure to sunlight and daily mild to moderate exercise. Third: It is of primary importance that all people follow “common sense” approaches, such as washing the hands, and staying away from sick people if possible. Fourth: It is of importance that “vaccinated” people know about various protocols to try and mitigate the dangerous effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” at work in their bodies; https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/. Fifth: It is of great importance to have and keep a positive connection with a Supreme Being.
“Then will you know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32
It is past time, in Yours Truly’s opinion, to bring to justice those who were/are involved in the development and manufacture of the COVID-19 “vaccines”; and those in the FDA / CDC / AMA, and other medical agencies and organizations, who either know, should have known, or knew of, the dangers of these “vaccines” — but still continue to push them. Some examples: Albert Bourla, DVM (CEO of Pfizer Inc.); Stephane Bancel (CEO of Moderna); Alex Gorsky (CEO of Johnson & Johnson until 2022); Anthony Fauci, MD (former head of the NIAID); Francis Collins, MD (former head of the NIH); Janet Woodcock, MD (former Acting Commissioner of the FDA); Rochelle Walensky, MD (former Director of the CDC); Peter Daszak, CEO of EcoHealth Alliance; Robert Califf, MD (current Commissioner of the FDA); Mandy Cohen, MD (current Director of the CDC); Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, (current head of the AMA); and, Ralph Baric, PhD, of the Baric Lab at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Interesting that this was on Hannity. Those stuck in the controlled opposition echo chamber will benefit from hearing it, but on Hannity?
I know some people….
For the ladies.
In theater, we sprayed it on the soles of our character shoes for safety reasons. No slipping and sliding.
There was a really gross episode of…Criminal Minds?…that dealt with this.
As my late mother would say, magnificent beast.
That ice is pretty thick.

1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. 8None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” 10God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I sang that for a jury in college.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
