“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
Today’s post is a Placeholder Open Thread for our good Gail Combs. Hoping that all is well with her.
Please, Civil Discussion is practiced here. Please do not give the modern-day version of Cato the Elder the opportunity to show “enmity” to the board.
However, to kick things off, there is this: www.theburningplatform.com/2024/10/01/urgent-the-left-is-going-to-war-on-the-first-amendment/, by Alex Berenson. It appears that John Kerry, who flies around in private aircraft, is making it quite clear that if he and the WEF have their way, free speech will have a large, red “X” target painted on it. Mr. Kerry, who supposedly will “decide” what is “disinformation” and who is “spreading disinformation”, made the following statement during the WEF meeting at which he spoke on Wednesday 25 September:
This is going to be a disaster. I have seen, though, reports that the union members want to know why they are hearing children’s screams from the containers. Could be nothing, could be something.
The concentration of messaging on changing hearts and minds needs to happen. Otherwise, this is going to happen in a lot of states, the legislature passes a law, and the courts overturn it.

This should be playing on every news channel.
Private helicopter pilots are flying in supplies to areas of eastern Tennessee that are only accessible by air. The original poster Evie Kyker/cayotecowgirl said government aid is “nowhere to be found.”
I just saw a convoy of Good Ole Boys loaded up with their shallow bottom fishing boats and trucks full of supplies to drive out and help people in affected areas. No one is paying them, their gas, or for the things they bought. This is just another example of toxic white culture.
The FDA has been the victim of a horrible rumor that 50% of their funding comes from the pharmaceutical industry.
In response they’ve released an official report of their funding to prove that actually only 47% of their funding comes from Big Pharma. pic.twitter.com/o1sQwFGBWD
Just spoke to a US Military insider about the efforts for Hurricane Helene. Here's what I was told:
The 82nd Airborne Division is known as America's "Global" Response Force. They have the ability to have thousands of paratroopers anywhere in the world in 18 hours. They provide…
Some good news. This was the last airlift out of Banner Elk, The Vistas subdivision. For those worried about their loved ones. Here's some people who were rescued. pic.twitter.com/gRLgzWgLBY
One of the most underrated things about @TheBabylonBee is that they’re consistently on front lines of free speech litigation. It’s like them on one side, up against a lawyer army from the federal government, google, the State Dept’s NGO swarm, & basically the CIA on the other https://t.co/WlyztI0FlG
100,000 lbs of supplies just delivered to western NC. 22 NG Helicopters are currently in the air doing rescue and supply delivery. https://t.co/vyfknFl70L

Not sure I like the sound of that. Vaccine management, yes, but military?
NBC: "Do you have any faith in the federal response here?"
Resident of Asheville, NC: "No. No."

When did you know, and what did you know at the time? That is the question.
According to a Tier 2 technician at Verizon, there has been a deliberate and unauthorized shutdown of the U.S. electrical grid that specifically targeted cell towers, starting locally and expanding nationwide.
If you didn’t know what the art of the deal was, this is it. Get ready America, maybe this is the black swan no one anticipated. I certainly didn’t, not at this moment.
And anyone who believes Biden or Harris can handle this or anyone else in their administration, needs to… https://t.co/3dgPowffpB
Let’s hear it for these absolute rockstars who went on a wild goose chase for me today to buy every Starlink the Home Depot’s had, drove across the state to East TN and are now doing installs. None of them wanted a dime for helping. These guys are what makes America great. pic.twitter.com/eD4tFE8BEN
I want you to think about something: We're almost exactly a month out from an election for POTUS.
The western half of a battleground state just got, for all intents and purposes, destroyed. POTUS has stated that no more aid to them will be forthcoming.

This is WILD.
The bears in Asheville, NC. sensed the hurricane before it hit.
The $1.98 Beauty Pageant. Ah, yes, the TV show that prompted my mother to never buy Brach’s candy again. Well, other than her dad’s favorite, the coffee candies…and starlight mints…and butterscotch.
Since Rip Taylor is trending for some reason, let's throw it back to his bit on Redd Foxx's short-lived variety series: pic.twitter.com/CD48A1mpxF
If this were me, there would be beer and glass all over the floor.
Per the boss’s instruction:
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
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.
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.
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.
And 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.
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; 11that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory.” 12For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall suck, you shall be carried upon her hip, and dandled upon her knees. 13As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.
Matthew 18:1-4
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Be afraid neither of the world, nor of the future, nor of your weakness. The Lord has allowed you to live in this moment of history so that, by your faith, his name will continue to resound throughout the world. — Benedict XVI
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.
>>148156518 Amen brother. Q
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
