“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.

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

You don’t have to understand the math, to follow along and understand why light and atoms end up being a lot like vibrating musical strings.
Basically, Erwin Schrödinger plugged a simple but weird equation by Louis de Broglie, which said that matter has a frequency just like light, into the existing wave equation, and he got a matter wave equation.
And all of THAT is revealed on the way to answering, what in the heck is an imaginary number doing in there?
November 5, 2024 happened. It is time. God answered the prayers and groanings of His faithful as well as all MAGA supporters with an intervention. We start this story by going back in history to build the foundation. It was also a time of God’s intervention into human events.
Most people ignore or gloss over what transpired with the negotiations and collective agreement of the content that is stated in the Declaration of Independence. They acknowledge its importance, just do not really pay much attention to how it came to be. The vast majority of Americans are clueless as to its content and relevance to life in America today, nearly 250 years later.
Instead of spending time on discussing the Declaration’s content, I have posted a link below. As an American you owe it to yourself and your country to study the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as if your life on this planet depended upon it. Your children and grandchildren should be taught its content and importance; do not count on the schools to do so. If you are unfamiliar or need a reminder, please read it because my story is about some of the people who conceived, executed andrisked all for the contents of that critical document that led to the establishment of the United States of America.
What was the foundational concept of the Declaration? It was a Biblically inspired belief in the natural rights of mankind as expressed in the document itself. What was the background of the signers in regards to this belief system? From the following link,
“Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration, the great majority, perhaps all, identified themselves as Christians, and all but one were Protestants. Four were either present or former ministers, and a number of the signers were the sons of clergy. At least half of them had studied “divinity” at their various universities. The denominations breakdown runs as follows: 32 of the signers, well over half, were Episcopalians, or Anglicans, the old state Church of England. There were 13 Congregationalists, 12 were Presbyterians. There were two Quakers, two Unitarians, and one Roman Catholic.“
If that statement is correct and I have no reason to believe it is not, we can clearly determine that Biblical faith formed the basis of their world view as well as that of the future nation.
The ensuing implementation of the Declaration led to war, lost battles and this…
I hope you have reacquainted yourself with the document and the period in this brief tour of American history at its founding. I contend that it is that same American spirit that charges through the words of the Declaration of Independence that led to the greatest, ongoing experiment in national governance in world history. It is a spirit that is very much alive and expressed by the massive America First MAGA movement today, whose spirit is spreading like wildfire worldwide.
Not all of the 56 signers were present during the discussions and negotiations that surrounded the production of the document. They signed on anyway. They knew what was at stake and agreed in principle with the contents of the document. In this series we are going to dig down into understanding their roles and who many of them were as human beings. We need to personally identify with their commitment such that we may be emboldened to go and do likewise. This series will focus on many of these brave patriots.
Hint: They acted a lot like many America First MAGA patriots do today. Quite a few were from wealth and dignified. A handful were truly messed up people. Others were heroic and inspirational. Some were bombastic and others were pensive. A large number were highly educated and accomplished. Others were less educated, yet enlightened and committed to the cause. Blended together they gave us the foundational start for a truly blessed nation.
John Hancock
The signature of the first to execute it, John Hancock from Massachusetts, was the most flamboyant and recognizable of all. It reflected his popularity during that day. He was orphaned as a youth and adopted by a wealthy merchant uncle. He interned in the business, graduated from Harvard College at 17 and eventually inherited a vast wealth when his uncle died in 1763. The assets were said to be the largest in all of New England. Prior to the rise of the American patriots; that wealthy, elite standing would have placed him in the midst of the society of British loyalists in the colonies. However, John Hancock rejected that standing as time moved on and joined the independence movement. He was in the company of John and Samuel Adams, the latter being a political mentor, while becoming deeply involved in the republican movement in New England. In 1768, his sloop the Liberty was impounded by the British for allegedly carrying contraband. This accusation inspired a large group of local patriots to storm the customs post, burn the government’s boat and beat up its officers. The officers retreated to a British ship offshore. It was not long afterwards that Hancock helped lead and strongly support the Boston Tea Party.
When Peyton Randolph resigned from the Continental Congress in 1776, Hancock became President. England decreed a large reward for his capture and other patriot leaders later that year. Hancock’s comments upon signing the Declaration with large, easy to read handwriting were, “The British ministry can read that name without spectacles, let them double their reward.” One who had so much to lose, who could have easily gone along to get along; gave without reservation to America and his fellow patriots.
It was a big 🖕 you to the oppressors of the colonists. A spirit that has long prevailed in our nation.
What is not discussed much in historical accounts is all of the relationships, entanglements, misfortunes, twists and turns of the life of this as well as many other patriots. Some historians suggest Hancock was disappointed that Washington was given command of the Continental Army. Yet, we know that he held great respect for Washington and the two worked well together in the affairs of the young nation. What was true by this point was that his mentor from the early days, Samuel Adams, had soured on Hancock as he considered him vain and extravagant, unbecoming of a republican leader. Despite his wealth suffering from the war, Hancock always gave greatly to the poor and needy. He was generous to so many and the people idolized him.
His political career was a picture of ups and downs, as were his military leadership skills during the war. Yet, his reputation and support never really suffered for it. Throughout the war period he was loved and was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1780 with over 90% of the vote. He served terms there as well as being elected as a delegate to the Philadelphia Convention among other elected posts.
There have been many supporters and many detractors of Hancock that continued over the 2+ centuries that have followed; owed in large part because he did not leave much in the way of journals or letters for historians to use to make their assessments. Obviously, too much that has been stated about him came from information gained from his detractors as they were not shy in writing their commentaries (much like today). What he did have that could never be discarded or ignored was the overwhelming support of We the People (sound familiar?).
Despite his wealth and societal acceptance, he chose to give his all for America. He cast off the British crown and became an American patriot. Well before the war he had married into the politically prominent Quincy family with whom he had two children. He died in 1793 at 56 years old with his loyal wife, Dorothy, by his bedside. He had suffered from gout most of his life and it eventually led to his death. Even Samuel Adams, the acting Governor, reconciled to the greatness of the man as he led the efforts to provide a lavish funeral and declared its day a state holiday.
Guess Who?
Shall we step into the shoes of the next founding father?
You have lived a life of wealth and privilege as a 4th generation colonist with deep British roots. You are a graduate of Yale and have numerous real estate and business holdings that you received as inheritance. Your ancestors had immigrated to America and built the family’s business empire as loyal British subjects. Over the years as they passed away this led to you assuming control as an adult. You marry Mary Walton of the prominent merchant Walton family. You expand your family’s holdings and eventually become the 8th colonial governor of New Jersey. Local residents in one area even name a town after you. Life has been exceptionally good, but now you are faced with a difficult decision that will have lasting consequences on not only you and your family, but on your fellow colonists. The rulers of the colonies have ordered your vast property holdings and real estate development interests to be seized. However, they tell you that if you decline to vote for liberty that your holdings will be spared and life can go on as it has been. This is an offer that is extended as a courtesy due to your great grandfather and his brother having served with honor and high rank in Cromwell’s army in the English Civil War in the previous century; which eventually led to similar military involvement currently with a brother and half brother located in the colonies. They know your decision will be one of great influence on your fellow restless, angry colonists.
With all of this family history, work, and social standing you respond to the offer with, “There are plenty of homes but only one country.” To summarize – 🖕Brits.
It does not stop there. Your brother who is a General in the British army follows up and tells you not to not sign that document or you will lose everything. Your half-brother, Gouverneur Morris, does likewise even though he sides with the colonists. You hesitate after the safety of your family becomes a question. Once reassured by General Washington that they will be safe and it comes time to sign or walk away you respond with, “Damn the consequences. Give me the pen.” Once again – a big🖕Brits. Your family of a wife and ten children are driven into exile.
You then proceed to lose all of your property holdings and money in the exchange from the sacrifices of war.
Over time you become a hero and icon in the Revolutionary War and legislature that leads to your nation’s founding. You first give up your seat in the Continental Congress to your brother, Gouverneur, and become a General in the Continental Army under Washington. In 1777 you also return to roles in governance in the New York legislature and later become a county judge. After the war you return to your 2000 acre farm and begin the process of restoring what had been burned down by the Brits. Over time three of your sons join the military and become officers; a General, a Colonel and a Lieutenant. They later go on to serve with honor and distinction in the War of 1812.
You continue to serve your nation until your death in 1798 at age 71. Prior to your death in 1790 you offer your land as the site to house the U. S. Capital. It is now part of the South Bronx neighborhood known as Morrisania. Upon your death you are buried in the family vault on the property of St. Anne’s Church in the Bronx.
Your name is Lewis Morris of Bronx County, New York, a legendary American patriot.
Thomas Lynch, Jr.
I am sure some are asking, “Who?” Other than reading his signature on the document, most probably know very little about him. Yet, this young patriot contributed during a critical time in the lead up to the war in important ways that cannot be easily measured. His efforts had very little to do with military exploits on the battlefield. His gifts were of persuasion and concern for family and countrymen. He did his thing, after which, he disappeared.
Yes, there is more, a mixed bag like all of us. Privilege, good deeds and decisions, love, suffering, sorrow, poor decisions, and tragedy are in his story.
Thomas Lynch, Jr. was born in the Georgetown, SC area in 1749 on the Hopsewee Plantation his family owned. He was sent to England to study at Cambridge University, graduated and stayed to study law. After eight years away he returned home in 1772 and married Paige Shubrick, whom he courted prior to going to England. He was active in the family’s plantation operations as a planter, having no interest in going into law despite his education. He became politically engaged immediately as his father was a noted patriot in the independence movement who later signed on the Continental Association. His father had a serious stroke while serving in this role, so at age 26, young Lewis stepped in as a representative of the Continental Congress.
Upon his return to South Carolina and with independence in the wind, he was soon commissioned a captain and company commander in the South Carolina First Regiment under famous Col. Thomas Pinckney. He recruited men from his region to join the unit.
Unfortunately, while in his role with the regiment he soon fell ill from bilious fever (tick bite) before he could take full command of the unit he had recruited for the war effort. He never fully recovered. News soon came that his father’s health was again severely declining and he received permission to go to Philadelphia as a representative of the state where his father was serving in the Continental Congress. This led to him at age 27 to become the youngest signer on the Declaration of Independence as he stepped into his father’s role once again. While still there he made a fierce defense for the use of slaves on the plantations and threatened South Carolina’s secession if there were illegal attempts to end the practice. Later that year as he and his father made their way home, his father passed away from a second stroke.
Lynch stayed in South Carolina and lived with his wife at their Peachtree Plantation in the South Santee River area, one of three he owned. His health continued to be a lingering, serious problem. He and his wife took the advice of friends to relocate to Europe to see if a different environment might help. With the young nation still at war they could not leave through normal sea routes, so they chose to travel to the West Indies first. From there they planned to travel to Europe. They left for the destination on the brigantine, Polly, on December 17, 1779. They never arrived. The ship, crew and passengers were never heard from again. After becoming the youngest of the Declaration signers, at age 30, Thomas Lynch, Jr. became the youngest of the signers to die.
Lynch’s contributions beyond those stated above were his passion and ability to encourage others in the patriotic pursuit of independence. He was a brilliant orator and motivator of the people. He was aware of his impact on others and served as an inspiration to the people who knew him during the fight for independence.
Common Themes
Throughout this series you will note common themes. In this part and as will also be present in others; each of these colonists became American heroes at a critical juncture in our nation’s formation. These and many other signers first arrived on this planet from families that came from wealth and strongly rooted British backgrounds. They were privileged with strong educational training. They were disciplined in their pursuits. They had advantages that average colonists would never experience. However, this was important in the organization of the young nation. Their understanding of law, governance and industry while embracing the principles of natural rights, liberty and freedom would serve the needs of We the People well.
Yet, all three in this story as well as the other signers rejected the haughty attitudes of the Brits and loyalists with whom they had lived for so long and maintained relations. The interconnections from long held family relationships had proven very difficult to navigate. All three in this story chose a different path for themselves and their fellow colonists. They did so without reservation and remained faithful to the pursuit of freedom until death. Their devoted spouses were at their side when each passed away. The newly formed states of their origins proudly memorialized their contributions, which still affect the course of our nation today.
These were three American heroes who gave their all for their fellow Americans in the spirit of the words in the founding document they all signed in defiance of their oppressors. May we go and do likewise.

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.”
Prayer
Is it best to pray standing up, sitting down, kneeling, or bowing down? Should our hands be open, closed, or lifted up to God? Do our eyes need to be closed when we pray? Is it better to pray in a church building or out in nature? Should we pray in the morning when we get up or at night before we go to bed? Are there certain words we need to say in our prayers? How do we begin our prayers? What is the proper way to close a prayer? These questions, and others, are common questions asked about prayer. What is the proper way to pray? Do any of the above things even matter?
Far too often, prayer is viewed as a “magic formula.” Some believe that if we do not say exactly the right things, or pray in the right position, God will not hear and answer our prayer. This is completely unbiblical. God does not answer our prayers based on when we pray, where we are, what position our body is in, or in what order we word our prayers. We are told in 1 John 5:14-15 to have confidence when we come to God in prayer, knowing He hears us and will grant whatever we ask as long as it is in His will. Similarly, John 14:13-14 declares, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” According to these and many other Scriptures, God answers prayer requests based on whether they are asked according to His will and in the name of Jesus (to bring glory to Jesus).
So, what is the proper way to pray? Philippians 4:6-7 tells us to pray without being anxious, to pray about everything, and to pray with thankful hearts. God will answer all such prayers with the gift of His peace in our hearts. The proper way to pray is to pour out our hearts to God, being honest and open with God, as He already knows us better than we know ourselves. We are to present our requests to God, keeping in mind that God knows what is best and will not grant a request that is not His will for us. We are to express our love, gratitude, and worship to God in prayer without worrying about having just the right words to say. God is more interested in the content of our hearts than the eloquence of our words.
The power of prayer does not flow from us; it is not special words we say or the special way we say them or even how often we say them. The power of prayer is not based on a certain direction we face or a certain position of our bodies. The power of prayer does not come from the use of artifacts or icons or candles or beads. The power of prayer comes from the omnipotent One who hears our prayers and answers them. Prayer places us in contact with Almighty God, and we should expect almighty results, whether or not He chooses to grant our petitions or deny our requests. Whatever the answer to our prayers, the God to whom we pray is the source of the power of prayer, and He can and will answer us, according to His perfect will and timing.
The closest the Bible comes to giving a “pattern” for prayer is the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. Please understand that the Lord’s Prayer is not a prayer we are to memorize and recite to God. It is an example of the things that should go into a prayer—worship, trust in God, requests, confession, and submission. We are to pray for the things the Lord’s Prayer talks about, using our own words and “customizing” it to our own journey with God. The proper way to pray is to express our hearts to God. Sitting, standing, or kneeling; hands open or closed; eyes opened or closed; in a church, at home, or outside; in the morning or at night—these are all side issues, subject to personal preference, conviction, and appropriateness. God’s desire is for prayer to be a real and personal connection between Himself and us. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/how-to-pray.html
As of desired publication time, 12:01 AM on January 4, there are 16 days, 11 hours and 59 minutes before our Once and Future President, Donald John Trump, is restored to his rightful office.
Not that I’m counting, mind you.
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
Speaker Johnson Pinging you on January 6 Tapes
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.)
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
Small Government?
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.
Political Science In Summation
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).
His Truth?
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.

(Paper) Spot Prices
[EDIT: Forgot to do this, as of 2:50 AM I have edited it to actually mean something]
Gold went up nicely on Thursday (possibly responses to those attacks that aren’t terrorist attacks, oh no they aren’t!) but lost a lot of those gains on Friday. Still, it’s a bit up this week. Silver managed to gain a little bit of ground against it. On the whole, though, things seem pretty stable as we head for 47.
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
Flat Earthers Strike Back
The guru or pope of the Flat Earth movement–the man who produced those “200 Proofs” videos–has now spoken about the Final Experiment.
According to him it was shot in a studio, one of those fancy 360 dome studios like they use for Mandalorian. (Whatever that is–Star Wars? I stopped following Star Wars after those horrifically bad prequels, Episodes I – III. I honestly should have stopped after Episode I.)
I hate like hell to give this lying turd any views, but here’s his video:
The first point is that he complains the sun in the timelapse changes shape. As if the (alleged) special effects team behind his (alleged) dome studio would be too stupid to not do it that way (heck, it’s more work to do it that way). But okay maybe they did it like that deliberately to double fake us, so that people like me would use the “they wouldn’t be that incompetent” argument. But in fact this shot shows a lot of glare from the sun, and the glare is what is changing shape. Eric Dubay knows this. I know he knows this, because the jackass uses this effect in his own videos!!
In their Gleason’s Map model which many are abandoning (but apparently not Dubay), the Sun never actually dips below the horizon plane since it is always roughly 3000 miles above the flat Earth. Instead it just gets further and further away and eventually we just can’t see it any more; they will invoke “perspective” to explain why it seems to be getting lower and lower in the sky. But getting further and further away would imply that the Sun should look smaller and smaller the closer you are to sunrise and sunset. How does Dubay handle that in his 200 proofs videos? He shows shots of the Sun where the glare orb is of different sizes because of differing atmospheric conditions; he just had to find one with a small glare orb near sunset or sunrise, and one with a bigger glare orb closer to midday.
If you photograph the Sun with a strong enough filter (20 or so stops does it; even seventeen might do it), you know, like I did, you will see it’s always the same actual size. There’s an exceedingly tiny variation over the course of a year because of the Earth’s elliptical orbit, but basically nothing over the course of a day. (This is evidence that the sun is far away compared to distances on Earth.)
Dave McKeegan did a second timelapse of the Sun, tracking it with a filter on. No change in sizes either. Oh, wait. That’s fake. Are my photos also fake? Or the ones taken by many other people around the globe?
The next point is the behavior of shadows. He shows McToon walking around (this is actually the “Where are the Guns, Nathan!?!?!” video, and his shadow apparently changing length and direction, which obviously wouldn’t happen if the object casting the light were far enough away you could treat the light rays as parallel. Well, for someone who likes to invoke “perspective” to explain sun angles, he sure has forgotten the concept here. The man taking the video (McKeegan) was walking around, McToon was walking around; this will cause shadows to appear to pivot. McToon was also getting closer to and further from the camera, and this will make shadows get foreshortened when the object casting them is far enough away. That is actual perspective in action, and Dubay is hoping to find marks too stupid to understand this.
Next, footprints in the snow. Well, you’ll actually see SOME footprints in the snow in the shots Dubay is selecting; but the real issue here is that this snow has been compacted by heavy vehicles driving over it to make a flat area to work in (this space was also used by the Antarctic marathon runners…who of course never saw a sunset either.
No wind? There was wind in other videos.
No visible breath? You don’t get visible breath in dry air. I know this personally since humidity is often quite low here, though not nearly as dry as Way Down Under at Union Glacier.
The bit about the snow is easily explained: Witsit wanted to make sure the camera could see him pick up the snow, so he couldn’t be accused of just picking powder out of an (off camera) bucket. Funny that his due dilligence is being used against him.
A not unrelated rant: One thing a couple of Flerfers have accused me of is believing that the Earth is round solely because I was taught that in school. No. I’ve seen actual evidence for it outside of school, and of course as described above I have evidence that the Sun is far away (which wouldn’t rule out the ancient flat earth theories, but does rule out this stupid pizza world with a firmament model–sort of like a snow globe–that the current crop of FEs is fond of).
Remember, you’re simply watching the behavior of grifters dancing as the evidence that they are full of shit keeps piling up.
No Science Section
Neither the time nor the energy. Last week I divided the post in two and saved the other half off; but it needs fleshing out, a lot of it. I thought about covering a workaday-geology topic (e.g., streams), but it’s almost 9 PM.

Health Friday is a series about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. Since today’s post speaks to the COVID-19 disaster, it is dedicated to Yours Truly’s COVID-19 “fully vaccinated and boosted” late brother, Sam; to her late cousin, Bill; and to all others who have died, or have become injured or disabled, directly or indirectly, due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 BTI (Bioweapon Toxin Injections, aka the “vaccines”) they had put into their bodies.
There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications, the Rules of our late, good Wheatie, and certain caveats by Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. The discussion is not limited to what is presented today: It is an Open Thread.
This post is an Opinion Piece. Yours Truly will be making statements that, hopefully, can start a dialogue on what one believes is an important topic.
To Begin: There are approximately eight billion human beings on Earth at this time. Approximately five billion of these human beings have taken at least one dose of a COVID-19 BTI (aka the “vaccines.”)This means that approximately 61% of the entire population of the Earth has been COVID-19 “vaccinated.” Approximately one billion of these COVID-19 “vaccinated” human beings are already dead, or “vaccine”-injured, or “vaccine”-disabled. Please refer to this tweet, which contains a video clip from a recent interview between Ed Dowd and Brett Weinstein: https://x.com/_BlakeHabyan/status/1872735868709941748, which discusses this situation. This number will increase as time goes on, and as more COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons succumb to “vaccine”-induced injuries, “vaccine”-induced disabilities, or die from the negative effects of these injections. In addition, Yours Truly believes it can be fairly argued that what may be called the “ripple effects” among all persons in the world from the COVID-19 BTI (aka the “vaccines”), including among persons who are not “vaccinated”, will eventually be felt by every person on the planet.
Yours Truly will state at the outset that she is neither a medical professional, nor a mental-health professional. However, she has taken psychology and sociology courses in the process of earning two BFA degrees and an MA degree. She has also researched into the effects of the COVID-19 BTI (Bioweapon Toxin Injections, aka “vaccines”) on the body and brain of the “vaccinated” since March 2020. One will use terms “COVID-19 BTI” and “COVID-19 vaccines” interchangeably.
Note the accumulations of BNT162b2 in the Brain, the Adrenal Glands, and in the Pituitary Gland. Note especially the accumulations in the Liver. The Liver is where the body produces Uridine, which is crucial for all kinds of body functions, including the regulation of mood. This is all part of what is called the “Brain-Gut Connection.” The human gut (stomach, intestines, liver, etc.), and, importantly, Uridine, sends “signals” to the brain, which processes these signals and “translates” them into body functions, emotional reactions, mood states, cognitive processes, and more. The N-1 Methylpseudouridine in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” literally replaces the RNA of the body’s natural Uridine with a combination of “fake Uridine” (which evades the body’s “are you a friend or a foe” recognition and elimination mechanisms), plus a form of methane.
There is an increasing number of scientific papers, articles, and editorial pieces regarding the negative effects on the brain, its components and mechanisms, and on its emotional-psychological functions, after COVID-19 “vaccination.” These negative effects range from inducement of “autism-like” behavior, to inducement of psychosis, to reports of suicide attempts and depression, and more. Examples of such writings include: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11064-023-04089-2. “Prenatal Exposure to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 Induces Autism-Like Behaviors in Male Neonatal Rats: Insight into WNT and BDNF Signaling Perturbations”, Mumin Alper Erdogan, et al., Epub 10 January 2024; www.psychiatrist.com/pcc/psychosis-associated-covid-19-vaccination/, Abdulsamad A. Aljeshi, MBBS, FRCPC, et al., 17 February 2022; https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8716269/, “P.0707 Suicide attempt and depression after COVID-19 vaccination: a case report”, IA Gencan, et al., 30 December 2021; and, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-021-05662-9, “Spectrum of neurological complications following COVID-19 vaccination”, Ravinda K Garg, Vimal K Paliwal, 31 October 2021. Below is Figure 1. from the Garg and Paliwal paper:
Note that the neurological issues induced by COVID-19 “vaccination” are not confined to “vaccination” by the modRNA COVID-19 BTI; they also occur after “vaccination” with the adenovirus DNA COVID-19 BTI by AstraZeneca.
There are also studies that have been conducted regarding the mental health of persons who have what is called Long COVID; for example: https://scholarcommons.towerhealth.org/t-med/vol3/iss2/2/ “Examining the Mental Health Impact: Investigating the Association between Suicide and Long Covid Syndrome”, Nicole Ann E. Villa, et al., June 2024 (click on the article title at the URL link and the PDF will load.)
However, there is also a myriad of other mental-health issues that arise regarding COVID-19. For example: What about a person who is COVID-19 “fully vaccinated and boosted” who then passes away from “died suddenly”? What mental-health effects does this produce in the deceased’s survivors? — such as, grief — shock — denial — anger — and more? For example: What about a COVID-19 “fully vaccinated and boosted” person, who has previously-diagnosed mental-health issues that were under control, but then after “vaccination” presents with symptoms of aggravation of these issues? — such as, onset of new psychosis — loss of interest in daily activities — anxiety — and more? For example: What about a COVID-19 “fully vaccinated and boosted” person who then presents with a disability? — the mental-health issues that can arise from this, and the issues that can arise among the affected person’s family members? — such as, anxiety — grief (over lost abilities and opportunities) — anger — depression — and more? For example: What about non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who have friends and family who are “vaccinated”, and who are starting to see the negative effects of these “vaccines” present in their loved ones? — such as, “anticipatory grief” — anger — sadness (especially if the non-“vaccinated” person tried to warn them)?
There are, in addition, the hormones that the body will release when under stress, in danger, in grief, and similar situations, among them cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones, once released into the body, interact with the Gut-Brain connection organs, and with the Vagus Nerve, which is an important component of the whole. For some further information on the Vagus Nerve, and its importance in good health please see: https://marica1776.com/2023/03/17/53289, “The Glass Wall Part 3 — The Body Needs a Healthy Vagus Nerve.”
Refer back to the images of page 7 and page 8 of the Appendix 1. in the BNT162b2 report above, regarding accumulations of BNT162b2 in the organs of the “vaccinated” lab rats in the study performed. The Brain, the Adrenal Glands, the Pituitary Gland, and the Liver all perform immensely important functions and regulation processes for the entire body — including in cognitive and emotional/psychological processes and regulation. It is clear that the modRNA COVID-19 BTI accumulate in, and attack, these very important areas of the “vaccinated” person’s body. **** And there is also this: Researchers at Yale University have found out that the spike protein from the COVID-19 BTI remain the body of the “vaccinated” person for as long as 700 days post-injection — https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/urgent-yale-researchers-have-found, “URGENT: Yale researchers have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people never infected with Covid — years after they got mRNA jabs”, 19 December 2024. This as-yet-unpublished study, called the “LISTEN study”, was headed by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, a COVID-19 “vaccine” proponent. The findings are shocking. In addition to the COVID-19 spike protein being found in the blood of “vaccinated” persons for as long as 700 days post-injection (and that these “vaccinated” persons had never tested positive for COVID-19 infection), it was found that their CD4 immune system cells were compromised; also, that the DNA in the plasmids of the “vaccine” can indeed integrate into the genome of the “vaccinated” person’s body.
The implications of this the LISTEN study results are profound. It appears that the COVID-19 “vaccinated” person’s body literally manufactures spike protein for a very long time post-“vaccine” injection. However, at the same time, it is also known that whatever “immunity” that is “conferred” by COVID-19 “vaccination” dissipates after a matter of weeks or months. Thus, it is possible that, while the “immunity” conferred by these “vaccines” is short-lived, the body’s manufacturing of continuous amounts of spike protein from these “vaccines” is ongoing. The implications of the negative impacts of these “vaccines” on the mechanisms and processes of the Brain, the Adrenal Glands, the Pituitary Gland, and the Liver, especially with repeated “vaccine” injections, are likely incalculable.
Meanwhile, what can COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons (and, also, non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons) do to support their personal mental health in the era of COVID? The answer is unique to each individual. Some may have psychological counseling. Some will decide to make healthy changes to their diet, or to incorporate daily exercise. Others may consult their personal physician. Still others may craft a program of their own. Yet others will turn to meditation, and/or to a spiritual Force or Supreme Being to guide them. Some will consult with alternative medicine practitioners. And so on. However, what will not work is to turn to drug or alcohol abuse. What will not work is unhealthy or harming behavior to the self or to others. Here are two online resources, among many others, that provide helpful information: www.helpguide.org/mental-health/grief/coping-with-grief-and-loss. by Melinda Smith, M.A., et al.; and, www.anxietycentre.com/, which has many free articles, videos, and other resources.
The issue of mental health in the era of COVID is one that is an unfolding situation. It deserves deep and ongoing investigation. Today’s Opinion Piece can hopefully be part of the conversation about this issue.

They exploded inflammatory diseases and called it COVID!https://therealdrjudy.com/judy-mikovits-transcripts/f/they-exploded-inflammatory-diseases-and-called-it-covid…Because that’s exactly what they’re doing to create the myocarditis. Remember when I showed in the Vaccine Education Summit that young woman that looked like she had lupus, well, Suramin is an antidote, if you will, to the mechanism of action, which is: inhibit reverse transcriptase because we know this COVID-19 isn’t a vaccine, it’s a manufactured virus. And they put Syncytin. They put the XMRV envelope spike protein, that alone causes all the diseases that could qualify as COVID, Long Haul COVID, they knew exactly what they were doing, and they published, in January of 2020 a review of all the wonderful cancers and viruses, and everything that suramin inhibits. And it was all of our work and all we tried to say for almost 30 years since I first worked with it in 1986 with HIV AIDS. Now you hear, Oh, AIDS is coming back. Oh, black man. And you know, we’re going right back to the game is the same. We could have cured AIDS in 1986 with things like Suramin and Ivermectin and cancer. They’re making money. Turn on the TV now, then you see 15 new COPD drugs, and they’re blaming us for our bad behavior, and they exploded inflammatory diseases and called it COVID.

22Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.

Thanks to Gail Combs for persisting with the writing of this article for the New Year 2025 post. Gail is having incredible difficulty, trying to publish from her computer – in my opinion more than just the usual WordPress crappiness. Again, IMO, it is most likely due to “plausible reasons” of subtle interference by enemies of her posting – whoever those may be. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH.
In any case, I have not changed anything in her article below. I did add a comma to Gail’s well-wish to you all above! Other than that, I have just added these few notes at the beginning, regarding the outgoing year, and the New Year.
The year 2024 AD (Year of our Lord) could have gone many ways other than the way it did. I am of the opinion that we should be incredibly thankful for the divine blessings and providence we were granted, including the life of our wonderful president, Donald J. Trump.
And then, on top of that near-miracle, President Trump WON – we kept the House – and we gained the Senate. WOW.
Be thankful. We are blessed. Trust in God. Praise God. Trust that the TRUTH will set us free.
May 2025 AD be a year in which we not only make America great – but a year in which we make God great, too.
Always remember that YOU have the power to make God great in YOUR life!
Peace and Blessings!

Rewriting History
by Gail Combs
This entire article is speculative. I am taking bits and pieces from various articles I have read and seeing if there is a common theme that can be informative. After all if the Cabal is rewriting history, it becomes very difficult to know what actually happened. Especially since they seem to have a habit of offing whistle-blowers and destroying evidence.
Well, the rewriting of history by the elite was what I originally planned to write about, however the ‘rabbit hole’ took a sharp left turn. I am going to address that branch of the rabbit hole in the next article. It was when I went to find the info linking John Maynard Keynes to the Fabians, that things went south. I pulled up some old 2014 notes and followed where they led. 🤔 However I still want to follow the rewriting history concept first as a basis for the next article.
Let’s start with George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four, published in 1949.
…The book’s hero, Winston Smith, is a minor party functionary living in a London that is still shattered by a nuclear war that took place not long after World War II. He belongs to the Outer Party, and his job is to rewrite history in the Ministry of Truth, bringing it in line with current political thinking…
Like John Maynard Keynes, Orwell was not formally a member of the Fabian Society. However his teacher and mentor was Aldous Huxley. Even Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions this. (I did not know John D. Rockefeller in 1900 “..bought Encyclopedia Britannica, acquiring control of a key source of information for readers worldwide.” LINKandLINK)
…The Fabian Society was founded as the political arm of the Fellowship of the New Life, an occult, socialist think tank founded in 1883. The Fellowship was home to many influential figures, including the UK’s first Labour Party Prime Minister and Karl Marx’s daughter, Eleanor. The Fabian Society has been dominant in both British and global politics for over a century. It founded numerous influential organizations, such as the London School of Economics (1895) and the British Labour Party (1900). Fabians were instrumental in the creation of the United Nations and the entire postwar world order itself. Aldous Huxley’s brother Julian, for example, was the first director of UNESCO. He also coined the term “transhumanism” in his book ‘New Bottles for New Wine’ (1950).
The Fabians’ political aim is — or was, since their objectives have already been achieved to a large degree — the creation of a one-world Socialist government, ruled by a technocratic elite that micromanages every aspect of our lives, including our biology (via transhumanism). However, their ultimate goal is the total alchemical reconfiguration of humanity: They aim to break down the unwashed masses of the world and remold them into an entirely new breed of man — a new species of human, even.
This is not to say that all Globalists are literally Fabians, but that the ideas laid out by Fabian Socialists appear to be the most accurate description of where Globalists aim to take their world empire.
“ My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. […] Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitudeas by flogging and kicking them into obedience.” – Aldous Huxley (emphasis added)
“…infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis….” Boy talk about prophetic, or is it knowledge of the actual plan?

Humphry Osmond (1917-2004) was the British psychiatrist who coined the word “psychedelic” – “mind manifesting” – in a letter to Aldous Huxley. Osmond publicized the term at a meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1957. “Psychedelic” is perhaps better term than “hallucinogen” since many classic psychedelic agents do not typically induce hallucinations.
Osmond introduced Aldous Huxley to mescaline in May 1953. Huxley sent Osmond a rhyme containing his own suggested coinage: “To make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme.” [Thymos (Gr): soul]. Osmond demurred: “To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic.” LINK

When talking of rewriting history, we are talking about a group of very wealthy people capable of long range planning with a single goal in mind. By long range I mean over one hundred years and probably a lot more. These people think in terms of family dynasties like the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties.
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, ARE AFRAID OF SOMETHING. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
…Where do we find this evidence? The first place to look is in history. The past is the key to the present, and we can never fully understand where we are today unless we know what path we traveled to get here. It was Will Durant who said: “Those who know nothing about history are doomed forever to repeat it.” …
THE HIDDEN AGENDA
…the year 1954 and, suddenly, we find ourselves in the plush offices of the Ford Foundation in New York City. There are two men seated at a large, Mahogany desk, and they are talking. They cannot see or hear us, but we can see them very well. One of these men is Rowan Gaither, who was the 3 President of the Ford Foundation at that time. The other is Mr. Norman Dodd, the chief investigator for what was called the Reece Committee, which was a Congressional committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations. The Ford Foundation was one of those, so he is there as part of his Congressional responsibilities. In 1982, I met Mr. Dodd in his home state of Virginia where, at the time, I had a television crew gathering interviews for a documentary film. I previously had read his testimony and realized how important it was; so, when our crew had open time, I called him on the telephone and asked if he would be willing to make a statement before our cameras, and he said, “Of course.” I’m glad we obtained the interview when we did, because Dodd was advanced in years, and it wasn’t long afterward that he passed away.
We were very fortunate to capture his story in his own words. What we are about to witness from our time machine was confirmed in minute detail twenty years later and preserved on video. The reason for Dodd’s investigation was that the American public had become alarmed by reports that large tax-exempt foundations were promoting the ideologies of Communism and Fascism and advocating the elimination of the United States as a sovereign nation. As far back as the 1930s, William Randolph Hearst had written a series of blistering editorials in his national chain of newspapers in which he cited Carnegie Foundation publications that spouted Communist slogans identical to what was coming from the Communist Party itself. When the Carnegie Endowment published an article written by Joseph Stalin attacking Capitalism and praising Communism, Hearst called it “propaganda, pure and simple.”….
This is very crucial because of what Mr Griffin says later.
A STRATEGY TO CONTROL THE TEACHING OF HISTORY
The question that arises in Mr. Dodd’s mind is: How would it be possible for anyone to think they could alter life in the United States so it could be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union and, by implication, with other nations of the world? What an absurd thought that would be – especially in 1954…
The answer was provided by the Carnegie Endowment Fund for International Peace, the same group that had been the center of controversy in the 1930s. When Dodd visited that organization and began asking about their activities, the President said, “Mr. Dodd, you have a lot of questions. It would be very tedious and time consuming for us to answer them all, so I have a counter proposal…
This is what those minutes revealed: From the very beginning, the members of the board discussed how to alter life in the United States; how to change the attitudes of Americans to give up their traditional principles and concepts of government and be more receptive to what they call the collectivist model of society…
At the Carnegie Foundation board meetings, they discussed this question in a scholarly fashion. After months of deliberation, they came to the conclusion that, out of all of the options available for altering political and social attitudes, there was only one that was historically dependable. That option was war. In times of war, they reasoned, only then would people be willing to give up things they cherish in return for the desperate need and desire for security against a deadly enemy. And so the Carnegie Endowment Fund for International Peace declared in its minutes that it must do whatever it can to bring the United States into war. They also said there were other actions needed, and these were their exact words: “We must control education in the United States.” They realized that was a pretty big order, so they teamed up with the Rockefeller Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation to pool their financial resources to control education in America – in particular, to control the teaching of history. They assigned those areas of responsibility that involved issues relating to domestic affairs to the Rockefeller Foundation, and those issues relating to international affairs were taken on as the responsibility of the Carnegie Endowment. Their first goal was to rewrite the history books, and they discussed at great length how to do that. They approached some of the more prominenthistorians of the time and presented to them the proposal that they rewrite history to favor the concept of collectivism, but they were turned down flat. Then they decided – and, again, these are their own words, “We must create our own stable of historians.” They selected twenty candidates at the university level who were seeking doctorates in American History. Then they went to the Guggenheim Foundation and said, “Would you grant fellowships to candidates selected by us, who are of the right frame of mind, those who see the value of collectivism as we do? Would you help them to obtain their doctorates so we can then propel them into positions of prominence and leadership in the academic world?” And the answer was “Yes.” So they gathered a list of young men who were seeking their doctorate degrees. They interviewed them, analyzed their attitudes, and chose the twenty they thought were best suited for their purpose. They sent them to London for a briefing. (In a moment I will explain why London is so significant.) At this meeting, they were told what would be expected if and when they win the doctorates they were seeking. They were told they would have to view history, write history, and teach history from the perspective that collectivism was a positive force in the world and was the wave of the future….
… Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country’s evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history….
Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II. ”
An example of the re-writing to remove anti-communism evidence.
…do most people know the link of cultural Marxism, in particular its strategy of the “long march through the institutions,” to another socialist society famed for its “gradualism” and its connection to the British Labour Party? This society is called the Fabian Society and heavily influenced, indeed was a precursor to, the creation of the Frankfurt School.
…In 1905, American Fabians established the Rand School of Social Science in New York City and incorporated the Intercollegiate Socialist Society to promote “an intelligent interest in socialism among college men and women.” A founding member was American Fabian John Dewey, considered the father of progressive education, and an atheist, socialist, and evolutionist. In 1921 the Fabian Rand School changed its name to “The League for Industrial Democracy” and established a network of 125 chapters with the aim of de-Christianising America. Dewey became president of it in 1941. Dewey also co-founded the New School for Social Research (NSSR) in 1919, which is a Fabian-socialist institution that is the American equivalent to LSE. This school, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation ($208,100 between 1940 and 1944) and the Carnegie Corporation ($95,000 in 1940) among others, set up the Graduate Faculty on Political and Social Science in 1933, called the “University in Exile,” and aimed to “accommodate the large number of socialist intellectuals” who fled or were expelled from Hitler’s Germany…

Going further back in time we come to the PrussiaGate series by Will Zoll, a team of two writers. The series is on a paid subscription substack but Patrick Gunnels reads them on Epic Threads. Zoll lays out an interesting hypothesis and backs it up with historical information. https://rumble.com/search/video?q=pgunnels%20Prussiagate (Skip the first 10 minutes which is intro.)
Marburg: The Four Horseman, the Marburg Files, Snow White and Revolution – A Prussian Dream: Start @ 28:50 This is very interesting given the Good vs EVIL battle we are currently in.
A short free article by Will Zoll on the same topic.
Finally going back centuries in history, we have a series by another Badlands associate. Given the time frame this is very speculative. However he brings up some interesting ideas and some nuggets of fact. He is also wrong about other things.
…I’ve become more and more convinced over the years that mainstream history is a hypnotic spell. I frankly wonder if ANY of what we were told in school was true.
The same dark cabal that runs the Deep State today has likely been messing with our history for centuries—what we want to know is how and for what purpose.
99% of our job as Digital Soldiers is simply to know what’s going on!….
…many people generally don’t understand that an informed minority ALMOST ALWAYS defeats an uninformed majority in any information-based conflict/war….
American Hypnotist then gets into the psychology of the Cabal.
The Mindset of Evil
What is the “platonic form” of evil?
In my opinion, evil can be best described as unbounded parasitism.
Allow me to explain …
Seen from a “Darwinist” perspective, life itself is nothing more than a non-stop struggle for “domination”. I call this the eternal power struggleworldview. This is, indeed, the central belief of Marxism; it’s also the worldview that all psychopaths share on some level.
Power struggles are indeed a part of life, but the key difference between the perspective of psychopaths and non-psychopaths is that your average human being doesn’t define the entirety of existence by such power struggles (unless they’ve been trained to look at things in such away by a psychopathic education system/media complex/culture/family environment… but I digress). Either way, many people DO see things that way, and they’re living their lives accordingly.
The most intelligent of such people are quite capable of hiding their manipulative ploys behind a well-crafted façade. Sometimes, such people form “alliances” with each other.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
This mentality is one of the key factors driving the Deep State. It acts as a powerful unifier for all the slavers and dark occultists of the world in their quest to parasitize mankind as much as possible….
…brilliant psychologist, Andrew Lobaczewski, author ofPolitical Ponerology: the Science of Evil, had many up close encounters with psychopathic personality types as well, for he was an escapee from communist Poland. According to him, psychopaths feel oppressed by the common morality of the people, simply because they see no reason for it—they often quite literally see themselves as a “more evolved” version of humanity, because they’re “unburdened” by the “silly” moral considerations of normal folk.
Psychopathic personality types often deeply wish to take revenge out on the populace whose morality prevents them from pursuing the satisfaction of their appetites without impediment.[Think Pedophilia and cannabilism – GC]
…one of the driving features of the psychopathic personality type is the INABILITY to achieve satisfaction…
After defining psychopath/parasites he goes on to the Werewolf Game. Note it is a RUSSIAN who comes up with the concept for this game. A game that teaches how to analyze people.
…When it comes to an information war, oftentimes it’s the most innocent seeming “comms” that tell us the most—fairy tales and mythology almost certainly contain more clues than people tend to think. The very archetype of the Werewolf may indeed come from an ancient death cult that appears to have its origins in the Western Russia/Ukraine region. This cult was sometimes known as the “Koryos”, and they’d go on killing sprees under every full moon, usually wearing wolf-pelts on their heads.
Are you starting to see why I believe there’s something very profound going on here with the Werewolf Game? ..
That he brings up fairy tales is interesting because Will Zoll also points out the importance of the old fairy tales. See the Gunnels VIDEO above Prussiagate Files: Marburg, Snow White, Brothers Grimm starting at 40 minutes.
…Did you know that the Black Sea has almost no oxygen in it? Not only that, but it glows red, and contains high levels of sulphur. Alas, the smell of sulphur is popularly associated with the presence of demons…
AND
Now, my first piece of evidence supporting the idea that hell is real comes from the research of Dr. Jerry Marzinski, a brave man who spent many decades as a therapist working with schizophrenic patients in maximum security prisons. After many years of working with these patients, he concluded that the voices schizophrenics hear in their minds are NOT hallucinations, but rather demonic entities who “infest” human beings.
According to his experience, these entities do this because they feed on negative emotions. Literally, they are hungry, and cannot produce their own energy—ergo, they need ours to “survive”.
Marzinski discovered, among other things, thatthe voices inevitably get VERY mad when you correctly identify their parasitic nature.Much like how a garden-variety narcissist or psychopath will react when you wise up to the games they play.
Alas, there is no profit in curing schizophrenia for the drug companies, and this is why you aren’t going to see any mainstream publications talk about Marzinski’s work.
Among other things, Marzinsky discovered that reciting Psalms 23 agitates the voices and makes them run away—he taught his patients to recite it until he was “found out” and told by the authorities that the only allowable method of “treatment” was to continue giving his patients drugs.
THAT certainly puts another twist on why the Cabal is adamant about pushing Russia out of that area and why Putin insists the Cabal is satanic.
…Whether it sounds plausible or not, the fact of the matter is that werewolf, vampire and zombie symbolism holds many keys to understanding the mindset of the Deep State death cult.
This cult is indeed a predator class that goes to great lengths to visit untold violence and torture upon innocent people. Pardon my candor, but if you want to be more than mere food for anything that eats you, then the onus is on you to become aware of predators in your midst….
There once was a time when “fairy tales” were used as a teaching tool to warn people about psychopathic personality types and the cults that such types create. Nowadays, many stories are told to accomplish the very opposite effect.
The “misunderstood psychopath” has become a trope in mainstream entertainment…..
…going all the way back to 3,000-2,000 BC, there existed a cult that had its home base right where Ukraine stands today, and which used the “wolf” as its main “theme”. This cult was known by many names, including but not limited to the Koryos and the Are-ans (due to worshipping a deity named “Ares”, which looks an awful lot like the words “Aryan” and “Aries”, if I do say so myself)….
From ancient times up until the year 1,000 AD, the Koryos would ride into Asia and Europe, marauding their more peaceful, agrarian neighbors—like many psychopathic types, they didn’t produce anything themselves, instead preferring to do drugs for half the year, in between raids.They’d go into a “berserk” trance under the full moon, and wore wolf pelts on their heads as they pillaged everything and everyone around them.
It would be a mistake to think that this cult disappeared centuries ago.
Among other places, the symbolism of this cult can be seen in the coat of arms for the Fabian Society, a prominent British socialist organization that officially formed in 1900, and that had a hand in the formation of the League of Nations (1919). Their membership included Walter Lippman, whose 1927 book Public Opinion goes into detail regarding the elites plans to use “democracy” as a smokescreen to mentally control the masses whilst convincing the masses that they are free…
Fabian Society’s coat of arms:
Rather blatant, isn’t it?
As we discussed in the previous article, psychopaths are “two faced”—That is to say, they wear a mask to blend in with normal society—indeed, most of us would become very skilled actors if we practiced the art of manipulation all day, every day, like psychopaths do. The symbolism here is important, because when we’re dealing with the dark occult practicing elites, we are indeed dealing with people who keep their “inner monster” hidden, and who also engage in ritualistic, cult violence…
… The ancient kingdom of Khazaria was also said to hail from this area, and there’s a tremendous amount of evidence that Khazaria and the werewolf cult are deeply connected. Khazaria was said to have pioneered horseback warfare, traveling in nomadic tribes, marauding nearby villages…
[The Author points to another tidbit I was not aware of. GC]
“For centuries, [the cult] got used to stuffing their stomachs with human flesh and their pockets with money. But they must realize that this ‘ball of vampires’ is coming to an end.”
When Putin calls them “vampires”, I’m certain he’s talking about one and the same cult that I’ve been talking about, which is likely the same cult that is variously called the Illuminati, the NWO, Satanists, Luciferians, the Babylonian Brotherhood, etc. by popular culture….
This author maybe doing a bit of a stretch in some areas. I certainly have problems with some of his ideas, but there is this:
“Sviatoslav’s Council of War,” by Boris Chorikov, 1836. Around the year 965, after centuries of traveling merchants being ambushed and murdered by cut-throats in the modern-day nation of Ukraine, an alliance was formed between Christians and Muslims. Led by the [Kievan-Rus] Grand Prince of Kiev, Sviatoslav I, the proto-Russians fought alongside the Byzantines and the Turks (all former enemies) to destroy the Khazarian Empire, which had rejected all three Abrahamic religions, instead practicing the profane art of blood magic from ancient Babylon, worshiping the satanic deity, Ba’al. Defeating this existential threat required an alliance of old sworn enemies. (They had all previously failed on their own.)
1050 years ago, in the summer of 965, the great Russian prince Svyatoslav Igorevich defeated the Khazar army and took the capital of the Khazar Kaganate, Itil. The lightning strike of the Russian troops with the support of the Allied Pechenegs led to the collapse of the parasitic Khazar state. Russ committed a sacred revenge, destroying the Khazar “snake”…
Khazar threat
The fight against the parasitic state of the Khazars was the most important strategic task of Russia. The trade and usurious elite of Khazaria, who subjugated the Khazar tribal military nobility, held in their hands all the exits from Eastern Europe to the East. The Khazar state received huge profits by controlling transit routes.
The Khazar Khaganate represented a serious military threat to Russia. Archaeologists have discovered a whole system of stone fortresses on the right bank of the Don, North Donets and Oskol. One white-stone stronghold was located at a distance of 10-20 kilometers from the other. The outposts were located on the right, western and northwestern banks of the rivers. An important role in the construction of these fortresses was played by Byzantine engineers. So, Sarkel (Belaya Vezha) on the bank of the Don was built by Byzantine engineers led by Petron Kamatir. Yes, and strengthened Itil Byzantines-Romans. The Khazar state played an important role in the military-political strategy of Constantinople, holding back Russia….
The Khazars made campaigns and raids in the Slavic-Russian lands. Arab geographer Al-Idrisi reported that Khazar vassals regularly made raids on the Slavs, in order to steal people for sale into slavery. These were not just spontaneous raids, from time to time, but a deliberate predatory strategy on the part of the parasite state. In the Khazar state, the power was seized by the Jews representing the caste of rakhdonites (radanity). This caste of international traders controlled trade between East and West, including the Silk Road and other communications. Their influence extended all the way to China and India. One of their main “goods” were people. The slave clan worshiped the “golden calf” and measured everything in gold.…
Certainly makes you wonder what history Putin has access to. To bad Tucker Carlson cut him off.
Next week I will get into the rabbithole I discovered when looking for the John Maynard Keynes Fabian connection.
