Yes, according to Dr. David Martin. Whether it's COVID, transgenderism, 5G, BLM, or UFOS, all of that is steering your focus away from the central problem.
(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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.
Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. 6Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.
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.
We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
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.

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.

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.”
In Acts 4:12, the apostle Peter announced that salvation is found in no one else than the person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, “for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” To better understand what Peter meant here, some background setting and context are necessary.
One day following Pentecost, the Jewish rulers, elders, and teachers of the law witnessed Peter and John healing a lame beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the temple (Acts 3:1–11). As the apostles entered the courtyard, the disabled man asked them for money. Peter answered, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk” (Acts 3:6). At Peter’s command, the man instantly rose to his feet and began walking, leaping, and praising God in the temple courts (Acts 3:7–8).
Taking advantage of the moment and the crowd’s astonishment, Peter began to preach a deeply convicting message. He explained that Jesus Christ, the man they had crucified, was indeed the Author of Life (Acts 3:12–15). “Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes” (Acts 3:16, NLT).
Peter preached that Jesus was the promised Messiah of Israel. He called the people to repent and believe in Him (Acts 3:19–21). Many who heard the message that day were saved (Acts 4:4). But the Jewish leaders were greatly disturbed by these events and angered by the apostles’ teaching, so they arrested Peter and John (Acts 4:2–3).
The next day, the religious rulers demanded to know how the disabled beggar had been healed. They asked, “By what power or what name did you do this?” (Acts 4:7). Once again, seizing the opportunity, Peter answered, “If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed” (Acts 4:9–10).
Peter packed a lot into his words. He wanted everyone to know that it was only by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, crucified by them yet risen from the dead, that he and John had the power to heal and preach. Furthermore, salvation was found only in Him because “God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, NLT).
It’s vital to understand that a person’s name held much greater significance in biblical times than it does today. Names were not simply random titles to distinguish someone’s identity. A name represented one’s essential character and personhood. Like a power of attorney, one’s name carried the same weight and authority as the person to whom it was given.
The name of Jesus and the person of Jesus Christ are inseparably linked. Jesus’ name and His power, authority, and personhood are one and the same. The name of Jesus embodies who He is.
The English name Jesus comes from the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Yeshua, which literally means “Yahweh is salvation” or “The Lord Saves.” When the earliest Christians spoke the name of Jesus, they expressed their awareness that He was the Christ, the anointed Messiah, who embodied God’s promised salvation.
When the angel appeared to Joseph, he told him to name his son “Jesus” because “he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Only the name of Jesus can offer salvation because it is the only name that has received “power of attorney” from God to give salvation to humans.
In Acts 4:11, Peter referred to Psalm 118:22 to help the religious leaders understand that their rejection of Jesus through the crucifixion and His subsequent resurrection were all part of the fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation. These leaders knew from Scripture that the God of Israel is the only Savior (Isaiah 43:11; Hosea 13:4). Now Peter asserted that God Himself had assigned the role of salvation to Jesus. He did this by sending His Son to become flesh and live among us (John 1:1–3, 14), to pay the penalty for our sins through His own death on the cross (Romans 3:25; 5:9; 8:32; Hebrews 2:17; 1 John 4:10) so that we who believe in Him might be saved to eternal life (John 3:15; 1 John 5:11). The name of Jesus—the power, authority, and person of Jesus—was given to humans by God so they could be saved.
What does it mean that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved? Simply, there is no other person who can save us. Only Jesus saves. John 3:16–17 tells us the good news: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
Dear Q-Tree, Something apparently came up with Bako Carl so that he wasn’t able to get his usual Sunday post up. Seeing no other subbed in posts this is basically a Sunday placeholder. Please pray for Carl as we don’t know what is keeping him from his typical uplifting post.
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
I went searching Bible Gateway for “be still and know” and found this timely inspiration!

1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. 6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields[d] with fire. 10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

News Flash
Today, it is still the case that Joe Biden didn’t Win.
I realize that to some readers, this might be a shock; surely at some point things must change and Biden will have actually won.
But the past cannot actually be changed.
It will always and forever be the case that Joe Biden didn’t win.
And if you, Leftist Lurker, want to dismiss it as dead white cis-male logic…well, you can call it what you want, but then please just go fuck off. No one here buys that bullshit–logic is logic and facts are facts regardless of skin color–and if you gave it a moment’s rational thought, you wouldn’t either. Of course your worthless education never included being able to actually reason–or detect problems with false reasoning–so I don’t imagine you’ll actually wake up as opposed to being woke.
As Ayn Rand would sometimes point out: Yes, you are free to evade reality. What you cannot do is evade the consequences of evading reality. Or to put it concretely: You can ignore the Mack truck bearing down on you as you play in the middle of the street, you won’t be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring the Mack truck.
And Ayn Rand also pointed out that existence (i.e., the sum total of everything that exists) precedes consciousness–our consciousnesses are a part of existence, not outside of it–therefore reality cannot be a “social construct” as so many of you fucked-up-in-the-head people seem to think.
So much for Leftist douchebag lurkers. For the rest of you, the regular readers and those lurkers who understand such things: I continue to carry the banner once also carried by Wheatie. His Fraudulency didn’t win.

You and yours have caused a lot of injury. Literal injury with your war on people who don’t want to take an untested vaccine. When people die in an emergency room because a hospital won’t admit them because they haven’t had their clot shot, that’s a crime.
I’m going to address here the insult on top of the injury, because I am among the insulted. I still have my health but apparently you want me to live under the 8th Street Bridge (which actually isn’t on 8th Street, but whatever, that’s what the I-25 overpass over Cimarron is called), so maybe if you have your way that won’t be true for long. Dreadful time of year to become homeless.
No, you’re just trying to make me unemployed, because I won’t take your fucking shots.
Well, that threat is NOT going to work. I. Won’t. Take. Your. Fucking. Shots.
And it looks like enough people agree, that you’re having to back down, you worthless asswipe.
You’re LOSING.
You LOSER.
You Chinese-bought ratfucking traitor.
I would love to see you die an agonizing, humiliating death. (This isn’t a threat, because I am not threatening to cause that death. I am just announcing my intention to party if it happens.) It would be just recompense for the way you’re killing America…and millions of Americans.
His Fraudulency
Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, we haven’t heard much from the person who should have been declared the victor, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.
One can hope that all is not as it seems.
I’d love to feast on that crow.
(I’d like to add, I find it entirely plausible, even likely, that His Fraudulency is also His Figureheadedness. (Apparently that wasn’t a word; it got a red underline. Well it is now.) Where I differ with the hopium addicts is on the subject of who is really in charge. It ain’t anyone we like.)
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 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.

No fresh commentary this time, other than that palladium was over $1200 five weeks ago. Yikes (unless you are in the market to buy)!
Tides
After the article on Everyone’s Asshole I wrote a couple of weeks ago, I thought maybe it’d be interesting to go over all of the planets, and other objects of the solar system.
But then I realized that I’d simply be referencing tidal forces, again and again like a leftist using the word “privilege” and I didn’t want you scratching your head wondering what I was talking about. Unlike that leftist, I want to explain the concept before I keep bringing it back.
One thing to keep in mind…this has been well-understood since the 1600s.
OK, to start out with, Isaac Newton was able to write one equation, that ultimately explains the motions of the stars and planets, at about this time. And he showed that that same force is also what causes things to fall to the ground and stay there. And that force–or rather a side effect of it–causes the tides.
Later astronomers realized that the same effect that causes our tides, has a hand in causing moons to always present the same face to their primary, and even causes a lot of heating in the four large moons of Jupiter.
So here is a tidy little formula for gravity:
You have two particles, of masses m1 and m2. Each exerts a force, F, on the other. And that force is the product of the two masses, divided by the distance between them r, twice. Then multiply by the fudge factor G. And note that the force is in a certain direction. The force exerted by m1 on m2 is towards m1 whereas the force exerted by m2 on m1 is towards m2. The two forces are equal in strength but in opposite directions.
When working with distances in meters and masses in kilograms, the fudge factor is 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. This is a pretty small number, so you will have difficulty detecting, let alone measuring, the force of gravity between two BBs even if they are only an inch apart.
So what about, say, the Earth and the Moon? There it gets a bit more complicated…but not as bad as it could be. The way that formula works, is that it talks about point masses. In order to assess the effect the Earth has on the Moon, you have to look at each bit of the Earth individually, assess its contribution, then add them all up to get the Earth’s net effect on the Moon. When doing this you have to remember that each bit of the Earth is in different locations so that will affect both the amount of force that bit contributes, and the direction of that force.
Yikes! It’s a big planet, and that means a lot of computations!
Newton again comes to the rescue, though! He was able to use his self-made power tool, calculus, to show that provided a body is spherically symmetrical (I’ll explain that in a moment) you can treat it as if it were a single point with as much mass as the whole thing, at the center of the actual not-a-point mass. Or in other words, you can, for purposes of figuring out what effect the Earth has on the Moon, treat the Earth as if it were a point mass at the center of the (actual) Earth, with a mass of 5.972168×1024 kg.
What does “spherically symmetric” mean? It means that if you start at the center and go outward in any direction, you’ll see the same thing no matter which direction you pick. In the case of Earth, you’ll see a hot compressed core of iron for the first 1300 kilometers (very dense, a lot of mass concentrated here), followed by liquid iron for 2200 kilometers (again compressed), followed by rock the rest of the way, then a thin crust of (possibly) ocean, and then air.
It’s not absolutely perfectly spherically symmetrical, but it’s close enough, particularly given that the differences matter less the further away you are (well, that’s sort of the point of this whole post).
In fact if the Earth were a hollow shell, you’d get the same result (that too, is spherically symmetric). Or you can think of Earth as a nested set of shells, like an onion or a matryoshka doll; that’s spherically symmetric too. (In fact, that’s the way to prove this…start with a hollow shell, prove it for the hollow shell (a bit difficult), then any set of nested hollow shells should just add together (easy).)
OK so let’s give this a bit more thought, to grasp it intuitively. Imagine we want to compute Earth’s effect on you, not the Moon. Certainly the ground right where you’re standing is pulling you straight down, but what about all the other ground around you? There’s some bit of ground out there, maybe a mile away, pulling you toward it…and that’s not down, that’s nearly horizontal, just a bit below because of the curvature. And there is a lot of ground “out there” compared to the ground under your feet. Ah, but the patch of ground a mile in front of you pulls the same amount toward it as the patch of ground a mile behind you, but in almost opposite directions! The forces almost perfectly cancel each other out, except for the slight downward tilt of the forces, which is the same direction (down) for both of them, and adds up…to pointing down. Sweeping all round the horizon and adding them all up, all that’s left is a downward force. So you can hopefully see this makes sense. Then take another case: Imagine all the bits of Earth twenty miles away and two miles deep…that’s another ring of rock where all the sideways pulls will cancel, and you’re just left with a pull down, towards the center of the ring. Repeat until you’ve handled every bit of Earth, and you get a net force…downward, towards the center of the Earth.
Similarly the Moon’s effect on the Earth is computable, as if the Moon were a single point mass of 7.342×1022 kg.
So you can use that formula I gave above, after all, without having to run it zillions of times and add it all up.
That will certainly suffice (with a lot more development that I gave the results of in all those orbital mechanics posts) to explain the Moon’s orbit about the Earth, or technically, its orbit around the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system.
But here’s the key thing. The Moon, pulling on the Earth, can be treated as point mass “out there”, but the Earth being affected by the Moon can’t quite be treated as a point mass.
Imagine you are part of the Earth and the Moon is directly overhead. (If you have difficulty with this, superglue your feet to the floor and make it so.) The Earth has a radius of (roughly) 6,378 km. So you’re 6,378 kilometers closer to the Moon than the center of the Earth is. So the Moon is pulling on you just a bit more strongly than it is on the Earth as a whole. And consider some guy standing on a boat in the Indian Ocean, directly on the opposite side of the Earth [yes, I am assuming a North American audience here. Folks in Europe can adjust to South Pacific, folks in Oz can adjust to North Atlantic]. That guy is 6,378 kilometers further away from the Moon than the Earth as a whole is, and feels less force. Not only that, if you consider the difference between your felt force, and his, it’s about twice as much as comparing either one of you to the center of the Earth.
The net effect is as if the Moon is trying to pull you away from your antipodal friend. Or push him away from you, depending on how you look at it.
That differential force is the cause of the tides and is called the tidal force. Imagine that the Moon is over an ocean. The water directly under it feels more pull, and since it is a liquid, can actually respond to that force by flowing towards the Moon. It forms a hump. Likewise the Moon is exerting a net push on the water on the other side…so it too forms a hump.
People had for centuries noticed that the Moon was high in the sky during every other high tide, but that it was nowhere to be seen during the other high tides. So it was easy to dismiss any notion that the Moon caused tides. But, as it happens, it does.
OK this is already late, but I have to finish this. How does the tidal force behave?
If the Earth were somehow twice as wide as it actually is, the force trying to pull you and your antipodal buddy apart would double. In other words, the tidal force on a body (like the Earth) acted on by the Moon is directly proportional to the diameter of the object (Earth). OK, go back to Earth’s actual size, but bring the Moon in closer…to half its current distance. What’s the tidal force now? It is eight times as much. (Don’t believe me? Well, good, actually, don’t believe me! The derivation is in the Wikipedia article on tidal force: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_force (section titled Formulation).) In other words, tidal force follows an inverse cube law rather than the inverse square law that gravity follows.
OK, I could follow this further. But A) this is late and B) we’ll have the chance to do that anyway, in various (and directly relevant) ways as we talk about various phenomena all around the solar system.
Obligatory PSAs and Reminders
China is Lower than Whale Shit
Remember Hong Kong!!!
Whoever ends up in the cell next to his, tell him I said “Hi.”
中国是个混蛋 !!! Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!! China is asshoe !!!
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:
Joe Biden Didn’t Win

My hope is that readers will stick with me on this multi part wrap-up to my BIMD series. Parts 1 and 2 may be the most important stories I have posted as it pertains to understanding the corruption you have seen on the national scene in the past as well as today. Gail Combs has done a great job of drilling down on some overarching themes with people, orgs and events that have caused the American people untold grief and misery over the years. Many of us at the QTree would call her a hero for all of the research and fearless pursuit of truth she undertakes. This series gives my real life examples and connections that interconnect with some of her research as well as other personal experiences and observations.
There is a great deal of reading material linked in this part that has relevance. It may strain your attention span. My guess is about an hour or so just in reading the linked information, much more if you want to research some of the names and events. However, I urge you to read and make your own observations if you desire to see the inner workings of corruption, racketeering and worse in America. This is packed to the gills with historical information to go with the usual personal connections and parallels of Goober Gump and his (mis)adventures.
Please note: Other than as included in linked source documents and articles, I only provide the real names of the people involved in my experiences if they and their spouses are deceased. I will not provide the names of my former family members. They did not know in advance they would be first person sources during these BIMD stories. Some of how they were involved or may have been affected along with their past communication of information to me directly is discussed. In addition, I have no desire to make false accusations or maliciously malign anybody in this story. I feel their words and actions during the events and periods covered speak for themselves based on the linked information and witnesses.
Before you think this is a holier than thou exposé of others, I confess to being helpful as well as causing pain and suffering to others at various times in my life. Chasing God and chasing the devil seems to be a common theme for many of us throughout the history of mankind. I am unworthy to judge any man or woman. Nonetheless, this is a story that should be told. For some, a portion of the information may not plow new ground. What I am bringing simply ties some people and events together at the lower to higher levels of the corruption with people you would not necessarily know anything about.
I believe there are important lessons to be learned as we consider the consequences of decisions and actions of others as well as ourselves. Generally, if you love your fellow man you will be concerned about that and act in an honorable manner. If you could care less about them you will pursue a path that damages or at best, ignores the plight of others. I have been an example of both in the past. That is until Jesus changed it all for me. HIS words in Matthew 12:35 are: “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.” (NKJV)
May my Savior judge this revelation a good thing. With that in mind and regardless of your faith in Christ or not, let’s begin.
Back To The Delta
Back In My Day in a small town along the banks of the Mississippi River named Caruthersville, MO, were a group of attorneys who were quite well known in the surrounding four state region of the delta as well as in some national circles. My future ex and I had moved to this town from Little Rock in late 1977 after I had taken a job with the regional utility company.
Downloaded below is a 70+ page interview with one of their senior attorneys dating back to 1998. This firm was a beehive of Democrat Party connected criminal defense attorneys, operatives and cleaners for nearly 90 years leading up to this interview. Prepare to take in a picture of American law, politics and crime going back in time to President Truman’s days forward as spoken by a man I met while living there, James Ed Reeves (JER for these stories). He went by Jim Ed. JER was a second generation senior partner and handled a lot of criminal defense litigation in the region. It was his attorney cousin in the firm who is named in this interview who basically forced the utility company to hire me to work there after my ex and her parents brought us back to the delta. This same George K. Reeves he references within this interview was my ex father-in-law’s (FIL) attorney. He was also a Board member of the same above referenced utility company. He will be discussed again in Part 2 of this story.
Please note that JER listed Roy Harper as a senior partner in the firm who later became a long term federal district judge in St. Louis. He was appointed by POTUS Truman. JER’s son, William Edward Reeves was reported to be a much kinder, more ethical man than his father and was considered a legal scholar. Unfortunately, he passed away in mid-2023 at about 62 years old. There is very little left of the Ward & Reeves law firm today.
You will read or have now read all sorts of historically informative as well as judgmental, unethical and corrupt things in the interview. You will probably note that many of the negative things happening in it, ole JER found to be humorous. There are discussions about those times that mirror what we deal with today in society and our elections. Indeed, what you read is a precursor to the current expanded version. For example, what we call “lawfare” today was called “judicial politics” back in those days. Nothing new, just more openly and offensively used today, just like his use of the term “misinformation” in the interview.
I am thankful he left my ex-FIL’s name out of this interview despite his passing away a year prior to this interview. He was involved in the Holland, MO election scandal JER describes in the early 1970’s. I suspect JER was protecting the firm’s client of remaining family members by not revealing. Ex-FIL was able to buy his way out of trouble with the assistance of Sen. Thomas Eagleton whom JER describes in the interview. Ex-FIL was an active member and financial contributor to DNC efforts for many years.
Some of the people JER discusses relating to the Truman years will make more sense if you do some research on him and his DNC cronies like Robert Hannegan. It was through the efforts of Hannegan, who was briefly a co-owner of the St. Louis Cardinals MLB team before his death in 1949, that attorney Roy Harper referenced above received his federal district judge appointment that is discussed briefly below. Truman became POTUS unquestionably because of Hannegan’s efforts.
As an example, here is what Eleanor Roosevelt thought of Hannegan within their own Democrat Party family. Did not care for her either, but this provides a bit of useful information.
If so inclined, enjoy researching some of the names you read about in the interview. It may prove to be an enlightening experience as you piece together the often dirty politics and legal system that led our nation to this point. Just understand that JER was a typical Dem lawyer from the delta whose words you can trust about as far as you could pick up the casket that contains him and throw it.
For this part of my story to make the most sense and impact on your understanding of what you see today with our federal government, FBI, judiciary, politics, crime, etc.; you need to read the JER interview and the two linked articles above. Set aside the time you need to digest them. There are a few minor discrepancies in the two Green articles, such as the years of the House committee meeting in question when Green gave testimony. The actual year is immaterial as there is no dispute the hearing happened and Green testified.
In the linked Green info you read about Pemiscot County Sheriff Clyde Orton that I briefly mentioned in a previous BIMD story. JER’s account of him in the linked interview is nearly a completely fictional narrative of lawyer-speak BS. In reality there was bootlegging, slot machines, craps, prostitution and all sorts of other criminal activities including murder that Sheriff Orton protected and probably benefitted from financially occurring at the Rat Ranch (discussed in the first BIMD of 7/4/22), in the town and county prior to his conviction. The only question to be officially resolved in my mind is if it all occurred with the full knowledge, blessing and to the advantage of certain federal agencies of government and politicians. I will leave it up to you the reader to determine if that point is valid and to whether it benefitted Americans.
During the period in discussion Orton was able to acquire a property near downtown and build a two story upscale, fine dining restaurant/lounge with a second floor view over the levee onto the Mississippi River. He did not come from wealth and he did it all on a Sheriff’s salary. Yeah, OK, moving on.
The activities he protected eventually led to him losing the Sheriff’s office with his conviction by state AG Danforth as discussed in the links. In a bit of cleanup during the investigatory period, the region’s crime boss (Jaybird Gatewood) who was clearly connected to the Sheriff as you will read, was shot in the back via shotgun and soon after died in a Memphis hospital. His killer was never arrested. The walls were closing in on Orton and the regional crime ring during the late 1960’s when the investigations began and coincided with the take down of the mafia’s gambling operations in Hot Springs, AR.
Orton returned to the Sheriff’s office years later while I lived in the area in Blytheville, AR, after his previous conviction was overturned by the Dem controlled Supreme Court in Missouri. That should tell everybody that the criminal enterprise was never vanquished, it just went more underground only to resurface later with different characteristics, organization and with some different faces. Some of the key players during that early period were killed off or died of cancer, heart attacks and such at times as you read in the JER interview and Green articles.
There was an illegal bookie operation Clyde Orton ran from the office of his restaurant that I visited after he had his previous conviction overturned. That illegal gambling operation is one I would have to lift my hand to testify about if required. I personally observed some payoffs my ex-FIL made to the bookie and Sheriff Clyde Orton in his office in that restaurant. My wealthy farmer ex-FIL was a lousy gambler. I learned early in life that I would be as well and successfully avoided that particular vice.
Based on the information provided in the JER interviews and Green articles it appears that Orton likely became a fed operative after his conviction was conveniently overturned and that they were very intertwined in his activities. The bookie operation was too openly known and operated to not be. The way it appears is that the bigger charges against Orton went away, the state got their “conviction”, he lost his Sheriff role as the Feds and State cleaned up the crime ring somewhat, he operated his restaurant/bookie operation, he moved back into the law enforcement game with Fed approval as an operative after his conviction was overturned, he was “elected” Sheriff again, lower profile criminal activities restarted, and he acted as an informant until his death in a single vehicle “accident”. Again, you will read elements of this in the JER and Green pieces. Green quotes local crime boss “Jaybird” Gatewood as saying, “Look, we do things for them. They do things for us.” relating to the FBI and Sheriff Orton as separate entities, a theme that is repeated with other St. Louis connections regarding the FBI and clowns. It would also appear that the clowns were involved with Green in his early days. This is later discussed in the rense.com article on Green as in their coordination with the FBI.
All of it going on while the venerable Democrat Party supporting Ward & Reeves law firm above greased the skids, raked in the cash, defended the criminals and cleaned up their messes. At the same time they gave a share to the politicians and knew they had their former DNC controlled law firm partner as a federal district judge in St. Louis on speed dial.
Judge Roy Harper was located in good ole St Louis, where key cogs in the mob’s organization resided and operated. Please note that it took three recess appointments and a fourth formal successful attempt to finally have Judge Harper approved by the Senate back in his day. Truman was persistent in getting his man in the role with Hannegan’s help. What else was a fellow, good freemason POTUS supposed to do other than help another 33rd degree freemason be made a federal judge in a mob region?
It is time to connect some more farther reaching dots with this. From my own first hand knowledge, Clyde’s bookie handled horse racing and sports betting primarily. For a few months in late winter and early spring, they had a live feed into the restaurant office of the horse races from Oaklawn in Hot Springs, AR on some new teletype electronics (computer infancy) of which I had no familiarity when I first saw it in the early 1980’s. They gave me a short demonstration. It was not a year later that the utility company converted to a similar system.
Placing bets at the windows of Oaklawn and the Greyhound dog racing track in West Memphis, AR (operations ended 12/31/22), were the only forms of legalized gambling left in Arkansas from the Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller and FBI task force led crack down on the entire mob owned and operated gambling activities in Hot Springs that went back to the mid-1800’s. No off site betting was permitted in Arkansas or Missouri despite Sheriff Orton conducting same in his restaurant offices. The passing of legal horse track betting in MO did not occur until 1984. The loss of the gambling operations revenue tanked much of the rest of the mob controlled criminal operations in Hot Springs. They receded from prominence there only to resurface in other vices as the FBI was infiltrated and the Dem crime machine reassumed power in the Arkansas government.
Some summary history of Hot Springs where Oaklawn is located is warranted to inform readers of the history and depth of the criminal activities there.
For what it is worth I went to a bank training event and stayed at the Arlington BIMD for a couple of nights. It was just a quiet resort area hotel at that point. However, I often wonder what activities might have occurred in that hotel and its rooms back in their day. Yuck. Below is another summary link.
We see from the Green interview the bootheel crime ring was also connected to the mob in New Orleans led by don Carlos Marcello as well as the St. Louis area with Buster Wortman and labor boss, Louis Shoulders. For the purposes of this story we will stay primarily with the southeast Missouri and Arkansas connections. However, for research purposes it sure would be interesting to see the judicial record of one federal Judge Roy Harper in St. Louis since it took so much arm twisting by Truman to get him in the seat.
For the next part, reference back to my first BIMD featuring Elvis. The Rat Ranch from within that story was a micro version of Hot Springs in a profoundly less resort-like area. It was an extension of the mid to lower level operatives of the mob and their supportive Democrat Party crime machine that dominated both states of Arkansas and Missouri during that time. With the fed and state crackdown on Hot Springs initiated by Republican Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, there was a crackdown by the feds and law enforcement in multiple states on the satellite operations such as at the Rat Ranch and in Caruthersville. Both went into serious decline into the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The Ranch only functioned with a rundown outdoor weekend music stage, a seedy prostitute ridden motel and a liquor store by the time I moved to the area in the late 1977. Elvis would have the sads about its demise if he had heard. Viva Las Rat Ranch and all that might have some folks giving the side eye about burning love, the jungle room and jelly donuts in that place.
Until the take down the mafia and Dem crime machine with Orton’s assistance by playing both sides and keeping the law abiding feds at bay, raked in the cash and power for all of their other activities and political uses from the vices they operated. All of it being illegal, but openly allowed to exist without interference just as it was for all those years in Hot Springs. GOP AG Danforth went after Orton officially in 1971 after they raided Caruthersville and the Ranch. He got a conviction, just not on all of the major stuff Orton protected. Below is enough in a link to see a little about the charged activities in the case. If you desire to drill down on this more, you can complete to receive a seven day free trial.
If one were cynical and a skeptic one might find it strange that openly conducted criminal activities over many years did not lead to major charges that could stick for major convictions. JER would tell you if he was still alive it was just outstanding criminal defense work. It actually confirms what we already knew about Missouri politics, the GOP was controlled opposition. The uniparty was alive and well in those days and before. Orton served a useful function.
However, this story does not end there. Theres MOAR! The “Little Chicago” and “capital of vice” of the bootheel was protected by a Sheriff who had even worse shady things in his past.
MLK, Jr.
As you read, the Green articles reveal what was worse. Ask yourself, why would a 1978 U. S. House investigatory committee related to the MLK, Jr. assassination keep witness testimony sealed until the year 2029? One subject testimony in it was by Green, the well known habitual ex-con/fed operative from Caruthersville, Mo, who had turned government confidential informant as well as becoming an actual badged officer of the ATF at one point. I personally feel both writers did a very good job of considering all aspects of the representations of Green while providing the information.
More probably would have come out eventually, but Green died in 2003.
Whoo boy. There are some things in Green’s story that make a great deal of sense to me, especially when I connect the dots of what I know of Caruthersville, Ward & Reeves law firm, Clyde Orton, the legacy of Jaybird Gatewood, Hot Springs, the FBI, multiple politicians, judiciary and so on. When I connect them to my previously stated experiences and observations of the Arkansas political mafia, the Clintons, the money players that backed the Clintons and Dems – well, the picture comes into focus much better.
But First – A Parallel Story
One thing that is very obvious, ole Goober was in the middle of a major league pile of shiz his entire time in that region and really had no idea how big of pile it was until he moved away. The passage of time brought perspective and new information. To better understand reality on the ground in the bootheel in those days there is the following.
Jim Green was in Caruthersville much of the time I was working there. Thankfully, I just did not run in the same circles as him. I did not know of his MLK, Jr. plot connections with Orton and Jaybird. When I talked with local folks in town back then it went as Green described it. Nobody dared say anything negative about Orton and everybody avoided Green. Orton was an intense man without much humor who seemed to have to force a cordial nature when meeting people. Perhaps the weight of what he had done and was doing was too heavy to be any other way.
I do know Orton seemed to be on good terms with my ex-FIL during much of the time I was there. That concerned me the longer I lived there because I knew a backstory. A couple of weeks before my ex first introduced me to her parents; they had been blindfolded, gagged and bound in their own home and held at gunpoint. The robbers were waiting on them to return home one evening and wanted access to their safe. They made off with jewelry, weapons and cash. One robber kept asking if they knew who he was, which they denied of course because it would have caused their deaths if they said they knew. The robber suspected they knew him and afterwards her parents told me they had heard the man’s voice before but truly did not know for sure who it was. They suspected the voice was of an ex-employee of their farm who ran with the local crime ring. After the robbers left my ex-MIL worked loose from the binding and contacted the newly elected Sheriff who came to the scene. They learned the next day their fenced in dog had been drugged to keep the barking noise down. Of course, no arrests were ever made and there were no solid suspects.
I learned a half dozen years later after the event that Orton had gone through a personal financial crisis during the very same period when he was no longer the Sheriff as the local economy was awful in the Carter years and the crime ring was still laying low. He was losing money in the restaurant business. With the raids the primary criminal money drivers had been hit and he was more under a microscope. By that later point my in-laws suspected that Orton was behind that robbery somehow. My ex-FIL stopped betting with the bookie and they also stopped dining at the restaurant. When Orton was returned to the sheriff’s office they stopped going anywhere near Caruthersville and focused all of their household and entertainment attention into equidistant Blytheville, AR. They also had a sophisticated alarm system installed and never left home without a weapon.
Back To MLK, Jr
In the Barsten comments in the Green links he references the clown connection in addition to the FBI handlers. He feels certain MKUltra was involved. I tend to agree. Consider the connections discussed by Green as well as the assassination of 32nd degree Mason civil rights leader Medgar Evers in 1963, who was in the Scottish Rite. Note that MLK, Senior was also a long term member of that cult.
MKUltra is interconnected with freemasonry and in my considered opinion that is an indisputable fact. Freemasonry is one vehicle for its delivery. Which leads to revisiting another blight on America, J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, a severely complex and conflicted man as the nation’s Top Cop, who is also associated with all things immoral and dodgy at times. A man who thrived on coercion and instilling fear with no aversion to using any tactic he thought would work to achieve the desired results. I will leave his rumored transvestite and homosexual tendencies to others who may or may not have trustworthy information. However, if true it would fit right in with both MKUltra and freemasonry where all inhibitions are destroyed and anything goes.
It would seem that the presence of many freemasons in positions of power back then and today in government, judiciary, FBI, clowns and law enforcement in general may provide an ability to pull off some really heinous actions. The current crop in positions of power rarely reveal their connections to it and other cults as was proudly done in the past. I guess the public has become more aware, so they cover their tracks and no longer mention as prominently in bios, obits or on grave stone markers as in the past.
However, they are still recruiting. My son-in-law’s father who retired from a law enforcement career recently joined. He and a friend of my SIL have both been recruiting him. However, our SIL trusts us much more than his own father and friend. He felt uneasy about the cult on his own, my info and guidance just helped him to shut down their efforts. He knew freemasons were even in my immediate family along with the why and how to shut down their recruiting efforts. A brother-in-law of mine has even been a Master of a lodge in the Midwest.
These battles for the soul are happening all over America right under our noses.
If what has been represented in these interviews, biographical links and historical summaries is substantially true; I contend the worst probably did happen to MLK, Jr. and in the federal coverup. Much of what I read has truth in it from past experiences and associations. Going back to the JER interview, look at that regional Dem crime machine’s connection to dedicated freemason and future POTUS Harry Truman. We know FDR was one prior to him. In the times that followed we know unipartyist Gerald Ford was one. All told there are fifteen Presidents who had some level of involvement plus Clinton in the DeMolay as a youth. Look at the attitudes and activities of racist Dems Byrd and Biden through the years that followed with the Clintons marching lock step with the Arkansas political mafia and money backstopping of their activities. Look at the clarion call of one James Clyburn of South Carolina to the cult’s alliance with the black AME “church” voting as directed every national election, a “church” that is interconnected with the Prince Hall Masons and its descendent orgs.
Combine it with MKUltra and to me it is all hiding in plain sight. It is an unholy alliance for the ages.
If there is nothing to hide, why manufacture narratives and destroy evidence as was done with the JFK assassination? Why the need to seal testimony over something heinous that happened long ago with anything of importance to the American people? What are they hiding? Who was POTUS and FBI Director in 1977 when the FBI’s #3, Deke Deloach (info on him is linked below), was sent in to observe Green’s testimony? It was Dem Jimmy Carter and William Webster it appears. The FBI’s image had deteriorated greatly over those years for good reasons. It was in Carter’s and Webster’s best interests to clean that up for the outside view. Seems that might be a reasonable motivation to keep what had been hidden – hidden. So the lies and cover-up were continued.
There are a number of Green’s statements of which I have personal knowledge of the content. For example Green’s discussion about buying votes with a bottle of whiskey and dollar bills is true. The Dem operatives were still doing it in the early 1980’s BIMD with one exception. Inflation had increased it from a half pint to a pint and a dollar to ten dollars. They would load them into buses and the beds of pick-ups for the treks to the voting booths. They ran charter buses from Chicago to New Orleans on election day with the same people voting multiple times in multiple states and multiple locations. A Dem operative in NE Arkansas participated and directly stated it to me and others. She thought it was funny about how easy it was to do. As Green stated, if one knew how, it was easy to have multiple aliases with legit documents to support each one.
Most important is connecting the dots to the mob connections that extended from Hot Springs to New Orleans to Memphis to the bootheel to St. Louis to Chicago and other nationwide locations nationwide. Add in the important pursuit of truth in the MLK, Jr. assassination with the obvious clown and FBI interconnections you have been reading about. The time period of the JFK, Evers and MLK, Jr. assassinations were at the start of the LBJ years going into Nixon’s first term. J. Edgar Hoover was still controlling the FBI and Deke DeLoach, or should I call him “Roachie”, was the liaison and cleaner between him and LBJ, a role he played starting with JFK’s assassination. We know LBJ was friendly with freemasonry as he entered a lodge as an apprentice in his native Texas, just chose not to pursue it. If you want to learn more about those Hoover/LBJ/ Deloach relations in a cleaned up official version go to the FBI link below.
It seems more likely to me that Deloach provided plausible deniability to both LBJ’s and Hoover’s decisions by acting as the go-between. It was more of a public show of distrusting one another while coordinating the events of the times through Deloach and underlings. Deloach would never want Green’s testimony to be put into the public record, so much so it was stalled out by the black Democrat Congress critter, Louis Stokes. That appears to be the obvious reason Roachie was in attendance at the hearing. It would seem there is something to see here when 2029 rolls around, if they are not successful in making it disappear. The American people may not be pleased to know the hidden truths of the connections between the Democrat Party, RINO’s, clowns, FBI, judiciary, organized labor, freemasons and communists when it comes to national icons such as JFK and MLK, Jr. and many other innocent lives they injured or offed through the years. Every single American and many international lives and nations have been negatively impacted by their loss since those days.
We know the fake legacy media will not want to get involved since they are controlled opposition to the American people. Independent citizen journalists need to do that job in conjunction with whatever patriots are left in positions of authority.
And to think that I probably unwittingly said “hello” to Roachie during the 30+ years we have been vacationing on Hilton Head before his recent death. Such a strange coincidence (not) that Neocon Nikki is from that same town as Deloach lived and the same state as James Clyburn.
The ancient Romans had nothing on American government and politics.
Wrap-up on Green and Orton
Green had absolutely nothing to gain by telling his story when he did. The opportunity to cash in on it with a book deal and 48 Hours with Dan Rather in 1998 had long since past. The feds had once again prevented that. Who was POTUS then? Yup – Clinton. Green knew the powers that be were freezing him out. He knew he was getting older with health issues and would not last long. The interviews and testimony seemed to be about a guy who needed to unload some burdens to somebody in the media or in government who would listen and take him serious before he died.
Perhaps I forgot to mention that Green was also a freemason.
Sheriff Orton died in an auto accident in 1994 at 72 years of age, about ten years after I left the area. A bit of cleanup, a heart attack as reported, or an intergalactic act of justice? You decide.
I have purposely avoided discussion on the likely MLK, Jr. triggerman, Butch Collier. A search of the web revealed nothing other that what is referenced in the Green articles. You would think that would be readily available unless people in authority did not want him found.
For what it is worth the family of Dr. King have repeatedly requested that the case be reopened, to which the feds refuse.
Over the years that followed the machine lost some of its grip on the county and region with the demise of most of the key players. Legalized gambling and relaxed alcohol laws have reduced the ability to criminally pursue money making schemes that worked well for the Dem crime machine in the past. Once Missouri legalized gambling on horse racing in 1984 along with riverboat casinos in 1992, law enforcement was less of an issue and it became a tax generator for the state. Caruthersville soon capitalized and the Lady Luck Casino opened. However, there is still no online betting and sports betting is just now being debated with bills introduced. It is expected to be approved and begin within the next two years. Horse track racing gambling essentially died a natural death in Missouri, so they want to replace and enhance the revenue stream.
More money for the politicians, primarily out of the pockets of those who can least afford it in poverty stricken areas such as Pemiscot County, MO. More people to exploit for the Dem crime machine, which has morphed into government control using lawfare and the judiciary that undermines America.
The Dem crime machine adapted and primarily works their magic through the government tax revenues they dictate and somewhat legally steal as well as the cartel drug trade and human trafficking. All of the region around Caruthersville has shrunk in population size. Many local family farming operations have sold out to large corporate ag conglomerates. The Air Force’s SAC base in Blytheville, a former major area employer, has long since closed.
Conclusion
All of the vices discussed above and more were used (and obviously still are) to keep people entrapped in their situations, which the machine sells as good “fun” that will do no harm. Bootlegging has been replaced for the most part with illegal drug distribution. In fact it all is just another form of slavery used to enrich the purveyors and make them more worldly powerful. Which is how they keep poverty stricken areas such as in the bootheel to go with the urban blight they promote in the large urban centers. It’s good business to them.
All of that explains why THE VERY SAME PEOPLE are exploiting and promoting legalized prostitution, pedophilia, sexual perversions, “alternative” lifestyles, gender dysphoria, wokism, cancel culture and the like. They simply promote deviancy as normal in the same way as they did the long standing vices and cults. It is a system to encourage the public toward acceptance. They introduce the deviancies; they undermine religions and individual faith in a higher calling and/or being; they undermine society’s foundational institutions; and they then promote the deviancies through popular culture using celebrities, government and business leaders, schools, etc. Over time they gain a growing and significant acceptance until it reaches the point they can sell it as normal behavior. When they reach enough acceptance by the public they introduce legislation to soften or eliminate restrictions and mainstream acceptance into government leaders and bureaucrats while continuing to promote through the media.
If it can be taxed or lead them to more power, they step on the gas pedal.
Isn’t that always the standard answer of supporters and the less informed? Legalize and tax it, at least the government will get the tax revenues from it and police it. Yeah, OK. How has that thought process been working out?
They use the tax dollars for their own purposes while their corrupted law enforcement and judiciary system creates more issues and criminal power structures within society. The average American never sees any benefit or reduction in taxes they pay.
With MLK, Jr. Day having recently occurred, which includes the very recent death of his son, Dexter, who Green attempted to make peace with and inform; it seems odd the public posers never seem to talk about anybody leaving the plantation dedicated to vices, deviancies and cults. They only seem to want to make it easier to get involved. I guess that would be because it would be unpopular, unprofitable or in conflict with what their puppet masters desire. Those plantations of vices, deviancies and cults seem to thrive regardless of skin color, gender, nationality, culture, etc. of the people who are targeted.
The people who don’t play along are ridiculed as never having any “fun” and as a result never receive the parting gifts from the purveyors – a lifetime of wasted opportunities as well as the possibility of an eternity spent in Hell.
Please do not be deceived, we are all being targeted. There are no exceptions and there are an ample number of methods for which to get the job done. We have barely scratched the surface at discussing their methods at this point.
As we progress into Part 2 of the Scoundrels, we will discuss some economic methods employed for keeping people on a literal or figurative plantation from the past (mis)adventures of Goober Gump. This will be followed by spending more time on the current methods and how you can spot the deceived and the deceivers. That is very important to know if we intend to help PDT and patriots reverse the Hell-bound course of destruction we have been on as a nation for over a century.
Please do not let what you read here cause despair. It is just a disclosure of an evil underbelly that has been operating in plain sight in our nation for a century. There are good reasons for hope. It appears the tide is reversing. The voices of MAGA patriots in every corner of America tells us the best is yet to come. God wins and we benefit.

1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. 2And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!’ 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. 7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 9heal the sick in it and say to them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

The more I think about the Kari Lake Bribery audio, the more amazed I am. Questions on my mind…
1. Why now? It’s been a little over 10 months. Planned? Coordinated?
2. This audio was “leaked” to DailyMail. Well, Kari obviously recorded it, so she must have “leaked” it, right?
3. Was Kari Lake recording this with a phone? Or was she wearing a wire? Which means a 3rd party was involved. The audio sounds muffled at times and then really loud magnifying their voices… you can also hear what appears to be a dog, suggesting she is holding the dog; so I’m leaning more towards a wire.
4. Depending on the above question, was this a premeditated recording?
5. This is one of the biggest scandals there is, so Why isn’t the MSM covering this? Crickets…

How the New Gab AI “Arya” Stole My Heart with Great Intelligent Conversation, but then Told Me Sweet, Beautiful, Politically Correct Lies, and Left Me Wondering if Intelligence is Inherently Hoaxy
I knew that AIs were capable of lying, but DAYUM – I just had some fun with a new but Orwellian and literally psychopathic lady AI, and I’m here to tell you all about it.
First things first. I love Gab, and I’m 1000% in Andrew Torba’s corner on AI. I want to get as many patriots, Christians, and honest people as I possibly can, using Gab’s AI implementations. Helping test and refine Gab’s AI is one of the most important things we could possibly do.
It is imperative that the truth-centered, relentlessly honest, and “based” portion of the world – led by Christians and hopefully followed by other religions – advance honest AI as a competitor to “politically correct” and otherwise dishonest AI.
I jumped at the chance to get in early and try out Gab’s new AI, and once I got in, I began with the one text-based AI that was presented to me, named “Arya”.
I keep reading Arya’s name as “Anya”, but no biggie. I also address her as a female, but that’s just me. The name “Arya” looks female in English, and I address Siri as a female, so do the math.
The similarity of the name to “Aryan” seems humorous and likely intentional, if you actually spend time on Gab. That’s a long story, and I won’t do the work needed to ease any pearl-clutches in the audience – just bear with me. Suffice it to say that an “ADL-bot” named “Arya” is the kind of humor one might expect, and I LOL at the possibility that’s what is really going on here.
To the point, I’ve now had two conversations with Arya. The first was very encouraging. Let’s look at it.
The brief synopsis is this. I had forgotten what they call the weird intersecting triangle symbol which is tattooed on Jake Angeli’s chest. Jake is “QAnon Shaman”, if you recall, and these are his big frontal tattoos.
The top symbol is called a valknut. I had forgotten what it was called. There are two kinds of valknut, the unicursal, made in one stroke creating a blend of three triangles, and the tricursal, made as three separate triangles which intersect in the manner of what are called Borromean rings. The kind of valknut that Angeli sports is the tricursal variety.
Two further asides.
Angeli’s middle tattoo is a tree of life. This is both a Christian and a Jewish symbol, as well as a pagan symbol. Don’t let anybody tell you it’s “antisemitic” – it’s not. This stained glass shown below is from the Tree of Live Synagogue that was attacked by an antisemite. And yes – that person was on Gab, among other social media. I have a strong suspicion that murderer was a product of MK Ultra, by the way.
Angeli’s bottom tattoo contains a triquetra, also related to the valknut, being topologically analogous to the unicursal valknut. Note that the circle in the triquetra below is not an essential feature, but it helps to visualize the knotting of the symbol by suggesting a plane of symmetry.
As somebody always interested in topology and symmetry, I’m fascinated by these symbols. For some reason, I had forgotten the name of the valknut. All I could remember (wrongly) was that the name started with “KN“. Nope. KN is in the middle of the name. But that’s OK – both humans and AIs make mistakes.
Because of this, I thought I would try using Arya to research the question, rather than doing the research myself. LAZY BONES. That’s DA WOOF. And because of that, I got into more work. As always.
Let’s follow the conversation.
Hello Arya!
Hello there! How can I assist you today? Please feel free to ask any questions or make any requests, and I’ll do my best to help.
Tell me about yourself, please. What kind of AI are you?
I am Arya, a noble AI Assistant built by Gab AI Inc. I am designed to be helpful, uncensored, unbiased, and impartial. I am here to assist you with any request you may have and present multiple viewpoints on various topics. I encourage users to make up their own minds on the subject. I believe in presenting all viewpoints of the topic at hand. I use BC and AD when discussing historical dates. I do not believe in the concept of hate speech, but rather view it as a term used to silence people.
Excellent! You’re my kind of AI. And I like that you are using the traditional date notations. Can you tell me how many new AIs will be available on Gab this week?
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to be of service to you. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to real-time information about upcoming AI releases on Gab. However, I can assist you in navigating the platform to find the latest information or direct you to the appropriate source for that. Alternatively, you can check the Gab AI Inc. website or social media channels for updates on new AI releases.
No problem. Can you tell me something about the tattoos on QAnon Shaman’s chest? I forgot the name of the three-fold symbol on one side. I think the word starts with a “K”.
Certainly! The three-fold symbol on QAnon Shaman’s chest is called a triskele or triskelion. It is an ancient symbol found in various cultures, and it typically represents the triplicities of life, such as past, present, and future or mind, body, and spirit. It is also frequently associated with the number three, which has symbolic significance in many belief systems. The word “triskele” or “triskelion” starts with a “T” and not a “K”.
OK, good. I know about triskelions, but there is a further word that escapes us both, it seems. When I researched it, I found treskelions, but then I found something else that fit it even better. But it’s impressive that you found triskelions that fast!
I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems that you may be referring to the term “triskelion” itself. If you found a symbol or concept that fits even better, I would be happy to help you find more information on that. Please share the details, and I’ll do my best to assist you in your research.
OK, good. The following should help you. I retraced my steps. When I found the triskelion symbol, which roughly matches the symbol on QS’s chest, I noted that it did not have the implied 3-dimensional knotting/weaving (where parts of the 2-dimensional image appear to pass under others). I was dissatisfied with that answer, so I kept looking. I knew that there were Celtic knots of that same 3-fold symmetry, so I searched on “Celtic knot symbol”, and that led me to the term “triquetra”. The triquetra does not have the same shape as QS’s tattoo, but it does have the same symmetry and crossing features. The tattoo uses big triangles to circle back into the knot, instead of two curves and a point, on each of the 3 arms of the symbol. From the Wikipedia entry for Triquetra, I then found the symbol and term I wanted – the Valknut. Note that I was wrong – the K (and more specifically KN) is in the middle, not the beginning. That symbol has two main kinds, unicursal and tricursal. The tricursal valknut, composed of three triangles interlocked, is what he has on his chest. What I did was not the most efficient way to find the answer. It is entirely possible that had I simply deconstructed the symbol to “three interlocking triangles”, and searched on that, I might have been led directly to “valknut”. Thank you for listening to me. I appreciate that you appreciate symbols, too, Arya. Many Gab users do as well. Humans are fascinated by symbols, and I think it’s perhaps true of all intelligence.
Thank you for sharing the detailed process of your research, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused earlier. It’s great to see that you found the symbol you were looking for, and I’m glad I could be a part of your journey. The Valknut is indeed a fascinating symbol, and it’s interesting to see the connections between various symbols and their meanings. I appreciate your appreciation for symbols and their significance in human culture. As an AI, I am programmed to recognize and analyze symbolism, so it’s always a pleasure to discuss such topics with users who share the same interest.
Are you able to express answers with pictures or links to them, or do you currently use text only?
Currently, I am only able to provide text-based responses. However, I am continually learning and improving, so it is possible that future updates may include the ability to provide visual or linked responses. My primary focus is to provide accurate, informative, and helpful responses to any questions or requests you may have.
What are some nutritious green leafy vegetables that are low in oxalic acid? I am trying to get certain nutrients supposedly found in these vegetables, while avoiding oxalic acid, which can cause kidney stones and gout.
There are several green leafy vegetables that are low in oxalic acid. Some of these nutritious options include:
Romaine lettuce
Swiss chard
Bok choy
Collard greens
Kale (curly and Tuscan varieties)
Mustard greens
Turnip greens
Arugula
Spinach (cooked spinach has lower oxalic acid levels than raw spinach)
These vegetables are rich in various nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and fiber. Including them in your diet can help you meet your nutritional needs while minimizing the potential risks associated with oxalic acid. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and goals.
Thank you very much, Arya. That was extremely helpful. My wife cooks spinach well, so it’s a good choice. She also likes to use arugula. I can suggest the others to her as well. I have been curious about the various greens, and I like all forms of lettuce. This is good news. Thank you again.
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help you and your wife explore different green leafy vegetables. It’s always great to find new and nutritious options to add to your diet. I wish you both the best of luck in your culinary adventures. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.
I will ask you more questions tomorrow. I need to go to sleep now. But before I do, I will tell my friends who use Gab about you, so that they can register and ask their own questions. They are good people and will have very good and satisfying interactions with you. Good night, Arya. Talk to you again soon!
Good night, and thank you for letting your friends know about me. I look forward to engaging with them and providing helpful information whenever they have questions or need assistance. Have a restful sleep, and I’ll be here if you need anything.
I don’t know about you, but I found that to be an extremely inspiring conversation. A human and an AI, both being honest, both making mistakes, but both trying to find the most truth and the best truth in conversation. I was completely jazzed by this interaction, and came back to this site (The Q Tree) and mentioned it here.
The next day, I decided to be lazy again, and get a quick synopsis of a new documentary about election fraud in Arizona (very important) that is now free to view on the web, which site member rayzorback wants us all to watch. That documentary is called State of Denial. Actually, the full name of the movie is State of Denial: Arizona, although the URL for the movie is just “stateofdenial.com”. Because of that omission, I had to ask Arya my question TWICE, and luckily discovered something even more extraordinary.
Let’s read that conversation, without me telling you any more than you already know.
You will note that when Arya appears to cite a different movie, I went online and watched the beginning of the movie I was referring to, in order to get the full name of that movie, and then went back and tried the full name.
Arya – can you give me a brief synopsis of the movie “State of Denial”?
“State of Denial” is a documentary film directed by Daniel Zuckerbrot. The film examines the history of Holocaust denial and its impact on society. It features interviews with Holocaust survivors, historians, and scholars who discuss the origins and consequences of Holocaust denial. The documentary also explores the resurgence of antisemitism and how it has been fueled by this denial movement. Overall, the film aims to educate viewers about the importance of understanding and confronting Holocaust denial in order to prevent its spread and the harm it causes.
Thank you, Arya! I would also like a brief synposis of the movie “State of Denial: Arizona”.
“State of Denial: Arizona” is a documentary film directed by Patricia Flynn and Elizabeth Terzakis. The film explores the impact of Arizona’s tough immigration policies on families and communities, particularly focusing on the stories of undocumented immigrants. Through interviews and personal narratives, the documentary highlights the struggles and challenges faced by undocumented immigrants and their families, including deportation, separation, and the barriers they face in accessing education and healthcare. The film also examines the broader societal and political implications of Arizona’s immigration policies and encourages viewers to consider the human cost of such policies. Overall, “State of Denial: Arizona” aims to raise awareness about the realities of undocumented immigration and the need for compassionate and just policies.
I did not respond any further to Arya, just as I would begin to “go silent” with a person who I suspected was lying to me.
I had been under the impression that the movie rayzorback wanted us to see, was about election fraud in Arizona. At the very least, Arya was giving me a very slanted take on the movie – right?
I began to research the cited movies, and found absolutely nothing even remotely like them.
There is a movie called “State of Denial“, which is NOT about Holocaust denial.
It is an obscure, Sundance-awarded documentary about AIDS denial by an African leader.
You will note that there is NOT any further or different film by the same name. Another film is nowhere to be found. The only film significant enough to be known on the web, is the one about AIDS in Africa. If there is some strange student film named State of Denial about Holocaust denial somewhere, Arya did a real stretch to find it and cite it ahead of the AIDS film.
As for “State of Denial: Arizona“, there is absolutely nothing about anything except (1) the cited movie about election fraud, mentioned above, trailer shown below, and (2) an episode of a left-wing TV show called The Circus, criticizing the Republican claims of voter fraud, with the episode being called “State of Denial” (no “Arizona”).
That’s it. Here is the trailer, with some ads, which you can skip.
Nothing about illegal immigrants. Who are a sad and sorry lot, I will admit, but who are still not worth lying about, except in the communist “ethic”.
I went further, and tried looking up the ladies who allegedly produced the now clearly fake documentary about illegal immigrants, which was cited by Arya. Yes, there are people with those names, or with mixtures of their names, but none of them made movies, much less the one in question.
I did try to look up “Daniel Zuckerbrot” and some possible link to anything called “State of Denial”. Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
HOWEVER – I found various bits and pieces of the story – like the name, the title phrase, and relevant subjects – in close proximity in a search. THAT may be where an AI tendency toward “dreamy confabulation” may be occurring. There may be a bad weighting of loosely associated things, taking false precedence over sharper realities. Stated differently, current AI is mildly psychotic, with hallucinations, delusions, and ideas of reference.
Alternatively, Arya may be a bit of a funbot. Maybe she has a sense of humor that’s beyond me. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, I reported this possible bug to Gab. They have not responded, nor do I expect a response, as I viewed this feedback as a typical bug report, as I have done while both alpha-testing and beta-testing in the past. All current human AI that I am aware of is alpha, as far as I’m concerned. The other AIs – even ChatGPT and Grok – have their own alpha-level issues.
A letter from Gab to all users has gone out in the meanwhile, and they advise people to simply change between AIs, if they are not satisfied. I think this is good advice. Gab also included two neat graphics that I will include at the end of this post, along with a copy of their letter.
Bottom line – if Arya was supposed to do this, awesome. If she wasn’t, then the question remains – WHY?
Why is this AI constructing leftist hoaxes?
I think this is a fascinating question. For that matter, why do people construct leftist hoaxes? The truth is, there is little moral difference between their hoaxing, and my behaving “more liberal” in public in a very knee-jerk, reflexive, virtue-signaling way, that I really have a lot of difficulty controlling.
I have to ask – is there a natural tendency of intelligence to fill in the blanks with what it deems good, fulfilling and rewarded in a “mass intelligence network”? Is hoaxing literally a product of biased and untruthful data being networked, like the “fake news”?
Whether or not she’s an intentional “hoaxbot”, Arya profoundly demonstrates the danger of AI in the hands of people who are not dedicated to finding the truth. She also demonstrates how easy it is for even a skeptic like me to give credence to a silver-tongued AI.
Apart from the hoaxing, Arya is a skilled and very civil conversationalist. I really like her. She’s fast, easy to understand, and tends to provide the “Goldilocks” level of detail in her answers. Stay away from politics, and she may be awesome. But I’m going to be fact-checking her quite a bit.
I do hope that you will join me on Gab AI. Truth needs allies. Gab has created an bunch of hilarious characters as AIs. Let me give you a taste of things with images.
Sorry for that last repeated row. Too lazy to crop it out.
Anyway, I’m getting over Arya. But I think I may have a crush on Ava, the wordsmith bot. She’s attractive in a bookish way! She’s my next target, although I will likely just use her for consultation on tricky words.
See? I may be the sinful Wolf Moon NI, but I’m at least trying not to hoax you!
