Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s post speaks about the disaster of COVID-19 (the COVID-19 virus itself, and the COVID-19 “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to the memory of all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of these lab-created bioweapons.
There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. NOTE: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of my knowledge and belief, there is none. Also: if readers wish to post anything in the discussion thread for today’s offering that is AI-generated, they must cite their source.
Today’s post may be regarded as a “narrow-focus” offering, one of a “mini-series.” This first “narrow-focus” offering regards the inducement of cardiac issues after COVID-19 “vaccination”; and, the potential for cardiac issues also induced from an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself. Yours Truly begins here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/new-study-fatal-malignant-cardiac, “NEW STUDY — Fatal Malignant Cardiac Tumors Following COVID-19 mRNA Injection”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 6 March 2025. The paper that is cited in the article is here: https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjcr/ytaf009, “Heart-breaking tumours: a case series of malignant pericardial effusion”, Abdur Rahman Mirza, et al., 18 January 2025. The paper is also found here: https://academic.oup.com/ehjcr/article/9/3/ytaf009/7960074. Below are screenshots of the Introduction of the paper; followed by a screenshot of the graphic of the paper that traces the “journey of pericarditis”:
And, the final portion of the Discussion section of the paper:
Note the mention of “diagnostic bias” regarding whether or not a cardiac issue presents after the patient has been COVID-19 “vaccinated.” In Yours Truly’s opinion, the young physician who is the lead author of the cited paper has likely not studied how the COVID-19 “vaccines” affect the heart (for example, this article: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD); has likely not read the BNT162b2 5.3.6 Postmarketing Experience report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA in April 2021 (https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf); and, has likely not read any of the posts that Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, has on his website (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/.) One suspects that many other physicians have not read these items, either.
Turning to the Hulscher article on The Focal Points blog, cited above: It is known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, cause pericarditis, a type of inflammation involving the heart (please refer to the BNT162b2 Postmarketing Experience report cited above, page 36 of the report, in the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section of said report.) The Cleveland Clinic has an article on pericarditis, found here: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17353-pericarditis. Below is a screenshot from the Cleveland Clinic article:
It is also known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, cause myocarditis (another type of cardiac inflammation.) Both pericarditis and myocarditis can, and do, cause permanent damage to the heart. Both pericarditis and myocarditis can ultimately result in the death of the patient. However, the COVID-19 “vaccines” contain BOTH the ingredients of the original Wuhan Hu1 virus (SARS-CoV-2 virus, aka COVID-19 virus), AND lab “enhancements” (dangerous lipid nanoparticles; N1-methylpseudouridine; “loose DNA” from the manufacturing process; a piece of the SV40 African Green Monkey cancer promoter gene code) — that make the COVID-19 “vaccines” much more dangerous and/or deadly to the cardiac system of the “vaccinated” person. There is more new information on this situation (thank you to Valerie Curren): https://slaynews.com/news/epidemiologist-new-data-linking-covid-vaccines-global-heart-death-surge/, by Frank Bergman, 1 March 2025. The paper linked in the article is found here: https://doi.org/10.4330/wjc.v17.12.1039909, “Risk stratification for future cardiac arrest after COVID-19 vaccination”, Peter A. McCullough, MD, and Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 26 February 2025. Below are two screenshots from the paper: the Abstract; and, the McCullough Protocol for spike protein detoxification:
Note the clear statement that cardiac issues can appear years after the person is COVID-19 “vaccinated.”
And, the McCullough Protocol:
Yours Truly finds it ** interesting ** that the above paper was given a “Grade C” for “scientific quality” by the paper’s reviewers, none of whom are identified except by their initials.
**** However, malignant pericardial effusion is a form of cardiac cancer. It is not an inflammation. Below is a screenshot from the National Cancer Institute definition of this condition (https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/malignant-pericardial-effusion):
Malignant pericardial effusion is the subject of the Mirza, et al., paper cited above in today’s post.
**** On the other hand, the COVID-19 virus itself can cause cardiac issues in persons who contract an infection of said virus. The following paper is from July 2020, well before any COVID-19 “vaccines” was granted an Emergency Use Authorization in any country: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41569-020-0413-9, “COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease: from basic mechanisms to clinical perspectives”, Masataka Nishiga, et al., 20 July 2020. This paper is a good source of information regarding how the COVID-19 virus itself works; and, how this virus can affect the cardiovascular system. A screenshot of the Abstract of the paper is below:
Another paper, also from 2020, well before any COVID-19 “vaccine” was granted an EUA, regards how the COVID-19 virus itself can affect the cardiovascular system: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7095524/, “COVID-19 and the cardiovascular system”, Yi-Tong Ma, et al., 5 March 2020. Yours Truly finds it ** interesting ** that the authors of this paper are affiliated with either the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or to medical facilities linked to the People’s Liberation Army (all CCP.) Below is a screenshot from the Background section of the paper:
The following article has more information on the ACE2 receptors in the human body: https://www.cas.org/resources/cas-insights/ace2-covid-19-target, “ACE2: Targeting a potentially important receptor in disease pathogensis”, by Angela Zhou, 15 December 2022. Below is a screenshot from this article:
The point here is that BOTH the COVID-19 virus itself (aka SARS-CoV-2), AND the COVID-19 “vaccines” (since these injectables contain SARS-CoV-2), target and attack the ACE2 receptor cells in the human body.
Yours Truly will again emphasize that the COVID-19 virus itself, AND the COVID-19 “vaccines”, were BOTH designed to cause as much damage to the human body as possible. They are BOTH lab-created bioweapons. The COVID-19 virus is not “just another type of virus.” The COVID-19 “vaccines” were designed to be capable of “shedding” elements of these injectables onto other persons (whether those persons are “vaccinated”, or not.) What is of utmost importance is that all people, “vaccinated” or not, must be doing all that is possible to have, and to maintain, the highest degree of personal health. The COVID-19 “vaccines” must be removed from use worldwide — now.

Ah, “Thousands being killed a WEEK.”

OK – that makes sense!
At about 34:00 Autopen! He makes such good points.
LMAO! He really slipped that one in there.
If Saturday Night Live wasn’t woke, they would have a gold mine of tasteless jokes about Auto-Pen direct marketing to seniors, to stay out of nursing homes. Featuring Joe Biden, of course!
As an historian, I really appreciate what he said about in 300 years people will look at the documents he signed. He’s right; Biden’s “signature” will be a joke hundreds of years from now.
By contrast the smell of the sharpies PDJT uses must have given him a splitting headache a couple of times during inauguration week.
Lol! Remember mimeograph paper in school?
Yep
It’s a bad joke already.
Do not forget that it is NATO who is in control of the Nazi Stay behind units. These units were installed in all countries after WWII. IIRC Colonel Towner said the committee that directs these terrorists met 4 times a year.
The 1945 Marshal Plan is still in effect after 80 years? 
Yep. Yet another effete white-wine-swilling, quiche-eating femme from “the old country”…
Looks like NATO is stuck in a Rutte of their own making…..

[QUOTE]
Over at Bruce Schneier’s security blog, he reviews a book called Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces, by Radley Balko [available at Amazon].
The topic is of interest in prepping and survival circles because any major SHTF or TEOTWAWKI disaster will likely see a rise in crime and civil unrest. And what will the response of police departments be? As some survivalist blogs have mentioned, they may well behave in a less reasonable and more authoritative manner. Already, SWAT teams in some localities are used to respond to situations that don’t seem to require Special Weapons or Tactics, such as to serve search or arrest warrants, even for misdemeanors and non-serious felonies…..
If you are skeptical that police or government could get that far out of hand, maybe you should read the news once in a while. NYC has used stop-and-frisk over 4 million times with no probable cause or warrant. And only now are the courts saying it might be unconstitutional. There was an incident where local police wanted to stake out one house from a nearby house, and when the owners refused to leave their homes and let the police move in for a few days, “police returned later, broke down his door, forced him to the floor and then arrested him for obstructing an officer. They also shot his dog with pepperball rounds.” Whiskey tango foxtrot….

GREAT thinking! Thank you for that idea! Millions are going to be saved.
I got bit by one of those I-40 W closures a few years ago at just about this same time of year.
Rerouted through Las Cruces and Tucson and there was a snowstorm in Tucson.
What should have been a 13 hour trip to Phoenix was 22 hours.
Wow that’s Brutal. Read this to Hubby & he says “That’s probably the worst I’ve ever heard!”
I’d say at least four hours of it was due to my passenger, though; someone who tagged along because they wanted to see friends in Tucson. I showed up at their place to pick them up and they hadn’t even begun to pack. (Grrr.)
I travelled with someone like that from Tulsa to dropping her, & later picking her up, in Chicago, while I was in Detroit. She drove me CRAZY that way–she even wanted to hit a store on our way out of town, delaying our 1000+ mile (for me at least trip) by significant time–Ugh. It was theoretically good prep for my missions trip to Liberia though. I tend to run late myself, 5-10 minutes maybe, but those Africans…literally hours. Once when phone lines were down we were chasing the team leader, a native Liberian, from place to place trying to intersect for something that had been planned for hours previously. I was losing my dang mind!!!
Trip was a planned easy 9 – 10 hours, including gas, tinkle and eat.
Once back on I-40, booted off again at Holbrook. Zero chance to travel I-40, between Holbrook and Ash Fork.
I needed a good road atlas to visualize my work around plan.
Had gotten lazy using navigation stuff like Garmin, Google via internet. All borderline worthless in this situation.
Road atlas on order.

The AMA just published an article on “food insecurity” by a group called the US Preventive Services Task Force, which makes it sound like it’s from a government agency. But this “task force” is a LOBBYING group in DC.
One has to either be a member of the AMA, or have “institutional access”, or pay for the article, to read the entire thing.
However, Yours Truly found a summary of the article here: https://www.medcentral.com/internal-med/uspstf-on-foor-insecurity-to-screen-or-not-to-screen, 11 March 2025.
The JAMA article on this report is here: https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2025.0879
Very interesting. This likely has something to do with doctors asking lots of new questions about whether people have enough to eat.
Obbamacate.
The first link didn’t work, but the JAMA one did. I always thought that signs of malnutrition would alert doctors to conditions, withuot asking everyone prying questions.
I would say that prying questions are easier for DEI doctors who don’t know diagnosis, but I think it’s actually worse. AND logic with the next theory.
For stupid reasons, my wife and I got locked into a phone “survey” with health insurance which was basically asking the same questions doctors ask, but including additional questions about the doctors, too. One of the things I noticed, is that the questions were likely to be of extreme interest go pharma companies. They seemed to be pushing various drugs for seniors, including anti-incontinence, antidepressant, and anti-obesity. That is when I realized that this is being driven by big pharma.
In the case of food, they are trying to control both sides – not enough food and too much food. Pharmaceutical socialism. Basically humans as lab rats in a herd.
Good observation. I also think this constant questioning seniors about every aspect is to justify programs that insurance companies keep creating. Home visits, referrals to specialists which by nature provide the reason for on-going care. The calls alone must employ a lot of people.

The Mexican Cartels ARE CIA/NATO trained ‘Stay-Behind Units’ they are literally trained in assassinations and terrorism methods here in the USA at our military bases. We also do not know just how many other CIA/NATO trained units were smuggled into the USA.
Those units are trained in the USA, in Europe and in Israel according to the Colonel.

The purpose of SWAT teams is to have a way to rescue hostages, deal with suspects who barricade themselves, serve high-risk warrants, etc. I can see a need for this. It seems to me that something needs to be reevaluated about the reporting of incidents and the SWAT team going into action. I imagine that timing is critical probably most of the time, but there needs to be a way to get a read on whether the threat is real.
Like maybe make a phone call, or what?

New police radars can ‘see’ inside homes
At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies quietly deployed radars that let them effectively see inside homes, with little notice to the courts or the public.
Brad Heath
USA TODAY
January 19, 2015
WASHINGTON — “At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.”

Range-R radar allows police to ‘see’ through walls and inside homes
February 13, 2025 by UMATechnology
“Range-R Radar Allows Police to ‘See’ Through Walls and Inside HomesIn an era where technology has permeated every facet of our lives, law enforcement agencies are turning to innovative tools to enhance their operational capabilities and efficacy.
One such advancement is the Range-R radar system, which employs sophisticated technology to provide police with the ability to ‘see’ through walls and inside homes. This groundbreaking tool heralds a new phase in tactical police operations, presenting both advantages and ethical challenges.
Understanding Range-R TechnologyAt its core, Range-R technology is a type of radar system designed to detect movement behind walls and obstacles. Utilizing radio waves, the Range-R sends out signals that reflect off moving objects, converting these reflections into real-time data that officers can analyze. This capability enables law enforcement to gauge live movement even when visual line-of-sight is obstructed, a critical asset in situations that demand immediate and often cautious intervention.
The Range-R radar can penetrate various types of walls, distinguishing between different materials, and is effective in both residential and commercial settings. The system operates effectively in a variety of conditions, making it invaluable for tactical police units responding to emergencies or high-risk situations.
Applications in Law EnforcementActive Shooter Situations
One of the primary applications of Range-R technology is in active shooter scenarios. When law enforcement is confronted with an armed individual inside a building, hesitation can lead to unfathomable consequences. The Range-R allows officers to assess how many individuals are inside, whether they are standing, sitting, or otherwise moving, and to make informed decisions without placing themselves at unnecessary risk.
By utilizing the Range-R, police can gather intelligence about the layout of the interior space, understanding which rooms might house a perpetrator and which could be occupied by innocent civilians. This critical intel allows for better tactical planning and victim rescue operations.
Hostage Situations
The Range-R radar is also a key tool in hostage situations. Law enforcement can determine if hostages are present and establish their locations relative to potential threats. This information assists in formulating strategies for negotiation, rescue, and tactical entry, prioritizing the safety of hostages while minimizing risk to officers.
Drug Raids and SWAT Operations
In drug enforcement operations, the Range-R radar can help identify illegal activities occurring in residential areas. By monitoring movement within suspected houses, law enforcement can determine whether it’s safe to execute a raid or if additional support is needed. The ability to visualize activity inside a structure, combined with intelligence gathered from informants, can dramatically improve the success rate of these operations.
Range-R Technology in Action
The implementation of the Range-R radar in active situations showcases its transformative potential. For instance, during a high-stakes operation to apprehend a suspect barricaded in a residence, officers equipped with the Range-R were able to detect movement inside the building, allowing them to confirm the presence of additional individuals. This information enabled them to modify their strategy accordingly and ensure a diligent approach toward both the suspects and potential victims involved.
Another example involves the utilization of Range-R in disaster response scenarios. When natural disasters strike, first responders often rely on radar systems to locate individuals trapped under debris or within compromised structures. The Range-R allows them to ascertain the presence of living beings, thus guiding rescue operations more effectively.
Advantages of Range-R Technology
Enhanced Safety for Officers and CiviliansOne of the most significant advantages of the Range-R radar system is the increased safety it affords officers. By giving a clearer picture of potentially dangerous situations, officers can make informed decisions that reduce the risk of confrontation and casualties. Conversely, civilians whose safety is threatened—whether through violence, drug trafficking, or other crimes—benefit from the tactical intelligence that Range-R technology provides.
Real-Time Data and Decision-Making
The ability to gather real-time intelligence in critical situations dramatically enhances decision-making. Police departments utilizing Range-R technology can not only respond more efficiently but can also allocate resources based on accurate assessments of the situation rather than assumptions. This capability can save time and lives in life-threatening scenarios.
Strategic Crime Prevention
The deployment of money and resources into cutting-edge technology translates into more efficient crime prevention strategies. By using data derived from Range-R systems, police can anticipate crime trends, understand hotspots, and reinforce policing efforts in areas identified as vulnerable based on real-time data.
Ethical Considerations
While the Range-R radar offers numerous benefits, the introduction of such technology raises important ethical concerns that need to be addressed. Questions of privacy, civil liberties, and the potential for misuse are pressing issues in the conversation surrounding surveillance technology.
Invasion of Privacy
A central concern is that the ability to ‘see’ inside homes might infringe upon the privacy rights of individuals. Without proper regulations, the potential for misuse of this technology looms large. Residents may feel scrutinized or threatened, worrying that law enforcement can invade their personal spaces without proper cause or oversight.
Potential for Abuse
Furthermore, the potential for abuse in law enforcement practices cannot be overlooked. The risk lies in officers employing the Range-R for non-emergency situations, monitoring innocent civilians without probable cause. If oversight and regulation are lacking, the technology could erode trust between communities and law enforcement agencies.”

Many Thanks Wolf!
Just thinking. It said it’s safe for human use. Wonders if that’s just a parameter that it can be taken out of and then allowing it to be used as something that might induce something similar to the Havana syndrome thing and that such a device would be variable by upping amperage, changing wave lengths or narrowing focus or such?
Also I thought Bill Barr mentioned we had this technology in one of his talks… did a search but could not find that. Somebody talked this a several years ago.
Reminds me of Lidar as well as it’s cousin Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).
https://www.spatialpost.com/difference-between-lidar-and-gpr/
The device would have to be built very rugged to handle the increased load, otherwise it would blow out just like a light bulb getting too much current.
So one could likely figure that it could do so by inspection, even if the option isn’t obvious (or not sold with that individual unit).
At least there’s no
obligationpotential for government abuse…Actually, I’ve seen it proposed that home Wi-Fi generates enough energy bouncing around that it has the potential to allow “looking around corners” without tons of fancy equipment.
“The purpose of SWAT teams is to have a way to rescue hostages, deal with suspects who barricade themselves, serve high-risk warrants, etc.”

It’s Little Man syndrome.
Koresh and the Branch Davidiots are the prime example.
Koresh went out jogging every day. They could have picked him up with ZERO resistance, easy. One FIB agent could have detained him without issue.
But no.
Rambo Janet and her Brown Shirt mutant ninja turtle retards wanted to play the effeminate bully who needs to show everyone how tough he is when a hundred of his armed friends are with him.
So instead of just detaining Koresh without incident, they burned down the whole compound, got four of their own officers killed and 16 wounded, and murdered 82 Americans, including a bunch of women and children.
Nice job, government.
I remember watching it live on TV, setting the whole compound on fire, thinking they can’t possibly be doing this.
But they were.
They really were.
And this was only about six months after their joy ride at Ruby Ridge, where a government sniper bravely shot and killed a mother while she held her 10-month old baby.
Proving once again that government learns absolutely nothing from their mistakes.
IIRC, the legal system found that Lon Horiuchi did not make a mistake. This prevented any learning from errors since none were made.
I hope Lonny sleeps better at night knowing the corrupt legal system magically held him unaccountable.
Misuse or misapplying the purpose of what the force is intended for is at the heart of issues like that. Some people in positions of power will seize more until they are stopped. But there is a need for SWAT in specific circumstances. If my loved ones were being held hostage at gunpoint, I would want a trained, capable team working to rescue them.
“But there is a need for SWAT in specific circumstances.”
____________
Find out how many legitimate hostage rescues SWAT successfully pulled off, vs. how many gross abuses of power and violence and property destruction they committed via fascist Leftists using them (with knowledge and consent) like terror cells activated against innocent conservatives.
I suspect the ratio is 50 SWATTINGS to 1 rescue, if that.
If the ratio were 49 swats to 1 rescue, this implies that 98% of SWAT teams are unnecessary.
“If my loved ones were being held hostage at gunpoint, I would want a trained, capable team working to rescue them.”
____________
1) How often does that specific instance occur
2) How many SWAT teams are needed to handle that scenario
3) How many SWAT teams actually exist, over and above the number needed to handle the exceedingly rare and unlikely hostage scenario
If your point is that SWAT is being overdone, I agree.
“… got four of their own officers killed ….”
AND those four officers just happen to have been Clinton body guards… Gunderson said the head wounds were from shots from ABOVE. Like from a helicopter.
Nothing surprises me anymore about the level of corruption and evil in our criminal government.
I thought I could not be shocked any more, and then I binge watched several Operation Gladio videos and my eyes bugged out!
Wall-penetrating radar exists that can reveal what is happening inside. Parabolic microphones can hear what is going on inside.
The only thing stopping the misuse of these tools is the Fourth Amendment. A search warrant can be obtained via phone during the trip to the house. If needed [based on info obtained], an entry warrant can be easily gotten from the same judge who issued the search warrant. Keeping him/her on the phone during the assessment phase seems like the best idea.
The risks can be lowered. A lot.
I should learn to scroll further. I would have seen scott467’s comment before I posted mine.
Your mention of the 4th Amendment and warrants is instructive.
But every thing done to protect the rights of Americans is one less opportunity for the Jack Boots to abuse those rights.
All individual rights and no gung-ho abuse makes Jack Boot a dull boy.
A dull paring knife can be re-purposed to the butter dish.
Just a thought. 😂
SWAT is fully complicit in these attacks. They know it’s BS. Some of the targets have been SWATTED multiple times.
Are the SWAT teams too stupid to figure out they’re being punked by Marxists, or do they just enjoy it too much to care?
Since my SIL is on one…
None of the dangerous SWAT responses that we see in the media are being handled correctly. Before SWAT gets called in, the assigned initial responders to a call must respond and investigate to justify the response through their superiors. No responsible law enforcement department will send a SWAT team without proven verification of the need and sign off by superiors in the chain of command.
The key to that paragraph is the word “responsible”.
The reasons are obvious. Dangerous to the responders as well as the people involved. Costly to the LE agency involved – they have budgets that unlike the Feds in the past, they have to monitor. They are ppen to lawsuits from those being swatted if things head south. Etc.
When it happens in the abusive manner you immediately know what the problems are and it is not incompetency. It is leftist, agenda driven, illegal, Stasi driven attacks. The SWAT officers being sent may or may not be colluding with the Stasi. The level headed ones are probably not colluding. The radicals and ones wanting to do damage probably are.
I thought SIL was your Sister-in-law, but I’m guessing Son-in-law is more likely!
I’m thinking that local police like to play SWAT too and by pass the rules protocol that a normal SWAT team might follow. Regardless if it’s local police or a SWAT team the public is going to see the action as a SWAT action and that is what will be reported.
For the Left it is a win-win They get to terrorize Deplorables AND they get people to HATE COPS.
All I’ve ever seen is blame being placed on the perps, but your comment confirms that more needs to be done about how law enforcement responds to those calls.
I did see that Catturd lives out in the country, knows the local police, and had only one officer come out. They had a conversation. This is how it should work.
Someone had to CALL for help.
The police department knows exactly where that call came from, and if they don’t, they can certainly access that information.
If the call came from a landline, they know the exact address that call was made from.
If the call came from a cell phone, they certainly can determine, in seconds, whether the call came from within a mile or less of the target address.
If the call for help did not come from inside the house (which a landline would indicate), and the call did not come from within a mile of the house (or probably less, I don’t know how accurate cell phone location data is these days), then it is obviously a FAKE call.
Yes, it is conceivable that a call for help could come from a family member at a different address, either miles away or across the country, which could easily be validated in seconds, that the person making the call was a real person with a real address with a real relationship to the supposed ‘victim’.
They’re not idiots, they weren’t just born yesterday, and they are not lacking for technology or know-how.
So if I’m the SWAT Team leader, and I get a call from Buford T. Justice at TDS headquarters, I’m demanding the identification data on the caller, and Buford better SIGN the SWAT request personally.
This (or something much more strict) should be Standard Operating Procedure, and if there is an excuse why it isn’t, I’d like to know what it is, besides convenient CYA.
When I get that identification data on the caller, there better not be anything suspicious about it.
There better not be a missing signature from the commanding officer on duty. There better not have been any SWAT visits to the same address previously, which is something my own Team can verify on the way there.
While I’m on the drive over to the target, I can also do a quick voter registration check, to find out if miraculously, it’s another Trump voter, like all the other bogus SWATTINGS the past 4+ years.
As a FUNCTIONING human being with a functioning brain, there are plenty of things a professional SWAT Team member can do to figure out if he’s being PUNKED by his fascist Leftist police chief, or whether it is a legitimate call for help.
If it is NOT a legitimate call for help, then the SWAT Team leader should divert his team and proceed to the Distract Attorney’s home (after hours) or office (work hours) to file a criminal complaint against the chief of police, and then go SWAT the police chief.
Do that ONE *&^%ing time, and all this bullshit stops, nationwide.
But they won’t, because they’re not really SWAT Team members, they are not law enforcement, they are Pension Protectors.
When all their other excuses are exhausted, that’s the one that always remains.
Forever young.
Never forget that the FBI is TRAINING LOCAL POLICE!

When local officers work with federal agents on joint task forces, they are prohibited from wearing body cameras

[QUOTE]
….Not satisfied with its own lack of accountability and corruption, the FBI also provides means for local police forces to skirt the law. In recent decades many local governments have attempted to enhance police accountability by putting limits on police immunity and requiring the use of devices such as body cams. The FBI, however, provides local police with a way of getting around these laws. The Federal government has invented “joint task forces” which deputize local police to work with the FBI and other federal agencies. Simone Weichselbaum notes how these de facto federal agents need not use body cams and employ a lower standard in the use of force. It’s also a cash cow for local bureaucrats, as USAToday has shown:
Given the special treatment that FBI agents enjoy, it’s not a shock that it turns out many FBI agents are straight-up thieves. For example, the FBI seized an estimated $86 million in cash from hundreds of safe deposit boxes at U.S. Private Vaults in a March 2021 raid. Court documents now show that in order to get the warrant to pull of this heist, the FBI lied to the judge who issued the warrant. Moreover, the FBI “omitted from their warrant request a central part of the FBI’s plan: Permanent confiscation of everything inside every box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.” It is unclear whether anyone was actually charged with any real crimes as a result of this mass seizure of property. This enthusiasm for seizing private property without any criminal conviction is not rare. The FBI has been central to the Federal government’s seizure of $50 billion of private property from private citizens, most of it with no judicial oversight….

NOLO — The Crime of Swatting: Laws and Penalties
[QUOTE]
…In one case, for example, the police responded to a false report that someone had shot his father, was holding the rest of his family hostage, and was going to burn their house down. Though the man had done nothing wrong, the police surrounded his house and fatally shot him when he stepped outside.
Is Swatting Illegal?The federal government and many states have laws that make swatting a crime. Under federal law, depending on the facts, a swatter can be charged with several possible offenses, including:
Swatters can often be charged under state laws, too. Many states, including California, New Jersey, and Texas, make it a crime to call in a fake bomb threat or other false emergency. Depending on the facts, state prosecutors might charge other offenses as well, such as criminal threats.
Even milder forms of false reporting that wouldn’t likely elicit a full-blown SWAT response (such as reporting a false assault or burglary) can be charged as false reporting.
And some states, like California and New Jersey, have passed laws that make false reports hate crimes when they’re racially motivated or stem from other prejudices against protected groups.
(18 U.S.C. §§ 844 (e), 875(c), 1038, 1343, 2261A (2022); Cal. Penal Code §§ 148.1, 148.3 (2022); N.J. Stat. § 2C:33-3 (2022); Tex. Penal Code § 42.0601 (2022).)
What Is the Punishment for Swatting? Is It a Felony?Under federal law, swatting is generally punished as a felony, and a conviction can result in years in prison. For example, the crime of false information and hoaxes carries up to five years in prison. But if serious bodily injury results, the sentence increases to up to 20 years. If death results, the person could face life in prison. (18 U.S.C. § 1038 (2022).)….
[UNQUOTE]
If I were a prosecutor, I’d charge with life-threatening malevolent reckless endangerment.
Those are state laws. They could be added charges.
I’d be ok with “attempted murder” in all cases of swatting.
So would I!
Some creative Prosecutor could easily add it to the list of laws broken especially if the trial was in a very conservative area. Should spook the heck out of a person brought up on the charges.
THEN you need to broadcasted the charges far and wide. 😆

While I wholeheartedly agree that China is the wolf closest to the sled, this analysis begs the questions, “Have we not learned anything from the past quarter century and why do I feel like the authors are still waging war as though we’re back in the 1940’s?”
Read the damn Chinese manual on irregular warfare. The Chinese are already here. Politically, economically, physically and intellectually.
Yes, we MUST be prepared for all options. In fact, the best plans provide the most options right up until the last possible moment. But we must understand and then begin to root out the espionage and intelligence operations the Chinese have been conducting inside of our borders and our institutions for decades. To be kind, the CIA, FBI and DOD Counterintelligence and C-Espionage efforts are abysmal.
We (the USG) were overly focused on CT (counter-terrorism) for many good reasons but we clearly dropped the glass ball of China (shame on us). The @BarackObama & @JoeBiden administrations did nothing to slow down China’s strategic infiltration into America. In some cases, they actually sped up this infiltration.
China’s One Belt Initiative is very real, it is on track globally, and we need to retool how America must deal with it. Just look at ownership or control of every major commercial port on the planet.
Last point, it’s not about needing more multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers that can be taken out by hundreds of dollar stealth drones either. I appreciate you even addressing drones, but why fire a shot and destroy the resources you seek when you can do it with patience and use of elements of economic warfare?
We need to be all in when it comes to this real and dangerous threat.

Why Are Merchant Mariners suddenly angry after decades of rolling over?
I was asked today why Merchant Mariners are suddenly pushing back against @SecDuffy after rolling over for years under Mayor Pete.
The US Merchant Marine took rocket fire in Israel, drone attacks in the Red Sea, fought fires delivering the Gaza pier then got kicked out of port by our closest allies. And most kept quiet.
Why are they angry now?
Because under Pete, they felt hopeless—depressed and despondent.
But under Trump and Duffy, they felt something they hadn’t in decades: hope.
And hope is a powerful drug. It fuels action, innovation, and loyalty. But when crushed, it turns into betrayal and outrage.
Here’s the problem: Every single Merchant Mariner who has spoken up has been professionally decapitated.
One who spoke out the loudest? Investigated, convicted of a felony, and jailed.
Not one Merchant Mariner is stepping up for a job in Washington—except @mercoglianos, who’s making little progress. Nobody wants to stick their head into the DC guillotine. Not even me.
And yet, Trump’s determination to build ships and fix logistics has created new opportunities. But who’s filling those jobs?
Not Merchant Mariners. Not even Navy SWOs.
Instead, Navy and USCG veterans are soaking up influential roles. The broken state of our surface fleet and the Fat Leonard scandal have pushed aviators and submariners into command. Smart, well-intentioned people but with no experience commanding or building actual ships.
And the result? More anger.
No service wants to be led by another service. The Marines would never accept a Commandant from the Air Force, why should the U.S. Merchant Marine be any different?
Yet our Superintendent at our federal service academy is Coast Guard. Now I’m told the Deputy Commandant of the Merchant Marine will be Coast Guard.
The same USCG that pushed United Nations mandates, DEI, and green policies that gutted our ranks. The same service that we HAVE spoken out against in the wake of #MidshipmanX
No taxation without representation
That’s what I hear over and over
But no one wants to speak up—they fear retaliation
And that’s the real issue: Merchant Mariners aren’t being invited in
Some in the administration have reached out to unions and K-Street lobbyists who claim to represent us. But those people do not represent the heart and soul of our service. They represent smoke filled rooms, big salaries and two decades of failed efforts to defend us
What’s the likely outcome? Stewing resentment—until it boils over
Logistics wins wars. The U.S. Merchant Marine delivers over 80% of DoD ton-miles in a world where China is building more ships in a year than we have since WWII
This is a critical service. This is THE achilles heal every service (even the USAF which needs bombs and fuel delivered overseas) depends on. And our people—the ones who actually make the system work—are being wholly ignored
Every Admiral, General, and Cabinet Secretary finally knows how vital we are – that’s why we now have a maritime office in the White House. But they have no idea who we are or what makes us tick and they don’t have the deck level experience to make the right calls
Our motto is Acta Non Verba—Actions, Not Words
The action we need? Our own people in the room
The Navy has liaisons in every major government building in DC. I’m not asking for that—though it’s long overdue. And I get that it’s probably too late for @SecDuffy to appoint one of us as Commandant or Deputy Commandant of our own service
So here’s the simple ask: Twelve appointments.
Twelve US Merchant Marine captains. One man each, embedded high in the logisitcs framework OSD, Joint Chiefs, NSC, Congress & State
That’s it. Twelve people
Is that really too much to ask?
They finally have a modicum of hope. It’s up to @SeanDuffyWI @SecDef @SecRubio and @MikeWaltz47 to decide if they want to direct it for the good of the nation, or watch it turn into silent anger & resentment
They could never get this message through before Elon took over tweeter.
Now it will get so much traction that people in the administration will actually see it, and be compelled to respond.
Especially if Elon sees it and retweets it.

Trump said today that he believes the US will acquire Greenland, and continues to offer Canada statehood.
This happening during the negotiations with Russia is not random. Russia confirmed their talks with the US were not just about the war in Ukraine, but also the relationship between the US and Russia moving forward.
Trump also said today that control of Greenland and Canada is necessary for “national and international security”.
Trump seems to believe the Arctic region will be of extreme geopolitical interest in the coming years. The arctic could be valuable not just for defensive/military purposes, but in terms of managing maritime trade routes, and potentially even upping direct trade with Russia after normalizing relations.
I’m not 100% sure what Trump is up to or what his overall all objective is with the Arctic, but it is all connected with the negotiations with Russia. This is also connected to Trump’s desire to take back control of the Panama Canal. Trump is positioning for control of maritime trade routes and shuffling the global economic order.
Whatever Trump is up to, it’s big.

It may be the only way, short of revolution, for Canadians to rescue their country from the insane Leftist political-class and the Canadian equivalent of the Deep State.

Folks would be wise to know just how much a student of history that PDT and the patriots are. His understanding and use of what he has learned is off the charts. What was old will be new again in many areas.
Totally agreed. Trump is an amazing student of history. Like you say, off the charts! We are so lucky to have this guy. I hope Vance puts in the same hard work to prepare for 2028!
So blessed. I thank the Lord every day.
You know what I will say, trust the Hillbilly Middie. Cut from the same cloth as PDT. Same basic comprehension skills and intelligence, just uses a different way of disarming the enemy. Same devastating results.

Official Statement of Hon. Dave Weldon MD
Regarding recently withdrawal of nomination for CDC
Twelve hours before my scheduled confirmation hearing in The Senate, I received a phone call from an assistant at the White House informing me that my nomination to be Director of CDC was being withdrawn because there were not enough votes to get me confirmed. I then spoke to HHS Secretary Bobbie Kennedy who was very upset. He was told the same thing and that he had been looking forward to working with me at CDC. He said I was the perfect person for the job.
Bobbie told me that earlier that morning he had breakfast with Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine who said she now had reservations about my nomination and was considering voting no. I had a very pleasant meeting with her 2 weeks prior where she expressed no reservation, but at my meeting with her staff on March 11 they were suddenly very hostile-a bad sign. They repeatedly accusing me of being “antivax”, even though I reminded them that I actually give hundreds of vaccines every year in my medical practice. More than Twenty years ago, while in congress I raised some concerns about childhood vaccine safety, and for some reason Collins staff suddenly couldn’t get over that no matter what I said back.
There are 12 Republicans and 11 Democrats on the committee so losing one, was a problem if all the Democrats vote no which they have been doing. I can assume that the White House staff had my nomination withdrawn also because the Republican Chairman Dr. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was also voting no. Ironically, he is also an internist like me and I have known him for years and I thought we were friends. But he too was also throwing around the claim that I was “antivax” or that I believed that vaccines cause autism which I have never said. He actually once asked that my nomination be withdrawn. So, he was a big problem and losing Collins too was clearly too much for the White House. The president is a busy man doing good work for our nation and the last thing he needs is a controversy about CDC.
The concern of many people is that big Pharma was behind this which is probably true. They are hands-down, the most powerful lobby organization in Washington DC giving millions of dollars to politicians on both sides of the aisle. They also purchased millions of dollars of advertising in newspapers, magazines, and on television. For any news or organization to take on big Pharma could be suicide. Many media actually carry water for Pharma.
They also give generously to medical societies and colleges and universities. I have learned the hard way don’t mess with Pharma. I have been told that Big Pharma had desperately tried to get rid of Bobby Kennedy but were unable due to the strong support of President Trump. Many people feel big Pharma actually feared me more than they feared Bobby because of my credibility and my knowledge of science and medicine. So, if they had to live with Bobby for 4 years they were definitely not going to have both him and me and put serious pressure on Collins and Cassidy.
My big sin was that as a congressman 25 years ago I had the temerity to take on the CDC and big Pharma on two critical childhood vaccine safety issues. Hundreds of parents had been coming to me from all over the country, insisting that their child has been seriously damaged by the inoculations. Some claimed it caused autism. The parents made two different assertions. One was the fact that FDA, CDC, and Pharma had allowed a tremendous amount of a neurotoxic preservative called thimerosal into the infant schedule and that the thimerosal was the cause of the problem.
Under pressure from me and many other members of the House, both Democrat and Republican, the CDC and Pharma removed the neurotoxic thimerosal, but it took them years to do it. One of the things that seemed to unite us in The House who engaged on this was that none of us took money from Pharma. Bernie Sanders actually joined us.
CDC ended up publishing a research study claiming the mercury had done no harm, but there were credible accusations that CDC had incorrectly manipulated the data to exonerate themselves. If confirmed I was planning on going back into the CDC database and quietly investigate this claim. Ironically, I was hoping to find no evidence of corruption of the science at CDC. Maybe in hearing it from me members of the public might be reassured and it might help improve the currently somewhat tarnished image of CDC and Pharma.
But I unfortunately also had the temerity to take on CDC and Pharma regarding another childhood vaccine safety issue, the safety of the measles vaccine called MMR. More than 25 years ago there were a series of articles published by a British pediatric gastroenterologist named of Andrew Wakefield. He had seen many parents who claimed that after the MMR their child had not only deteriorated developmentally but had also become fussy eaters and developed diarrhea. He did colonoscopies on the children and discovered that they had a new form of inflammatory bowel disease. His research was later duplicated and to this day he has been credited for defining this form of childhood inflammatory bowel disease.
Wakefield published 15 papers in all. Only one was withdrawn. The one that created the big controversy was published in a journal called Lancet and one of the co-authors on the paper was a highly respected Irish virologist by the name of O’Leary. I actually knew of O’Leary. I used to take care of AIDS patients prior to going to congress and I knew of O’Leary’s reputation as a solid scientist. One of the complications the AIDS patients were developing was a form of cancer called Kaposi Sarcoma and O’Leary had shown that the cancer occurred in the AIDS patients when there was co-infection with a second virus called Herpes Simplex Type 8. Wakefield decided to give some of the colon biopsy specimens to O’Leary who was able to show using a technique called PCR that the inflammatory bowel disease biopsies in these children contained the vaccine strain measles viruses. The live virus in the vaccine was supposed to be weekend and not cause illness. This suggested that the children were not able to handle the viral particles and that it was causing an infection in their bowels which also might have been affecting their central nervous system and causing the autistic features.
When this article was published thousands of British parents started refusing the MMR and there were measles outbreaks. British health officials had their hands full. They decided to get the journal Lancet to withdraw the article and they actually got O’Leary to withdraw his research findings. I was following all of this closely and had actually met with O’Leary and I had looked at his biopsy micrographs and his PCR findings. It certainly looked to me like the vaccine particles were causing the problem in these children, and I was surprised that O’Leary withdrew his assertions.
I then called O’Leary on the phone and asked him why he was doing this. There was a very long pregnant pause. He then said that it had taken him many years to get to the place where he was in the scientific community, and after another pause, he said he had four small children at home. I had small children at home myself at the time and I understood what he was saying. If he didn’t do it, he was going to be fired. He was going to be ruined.
British officials were not satisfied with just getting the journal to withdraw the article and getting Dr. O’Leary to withdraw his claims. They then decided to begin proceedings to take away Dr. Wakefield’s medical license and one of his lead co-authors. Wakefield by this time had moved to the United States and to defend himself in court would have cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars so he let them take his license away. But his lead co-author Dr. Simon Murch was still practicing medicine in England and decided to defend himself in court, and the government lost and they were not able to take his license away. If Wakefield had the money to defend himself, he would never have lost his license. The court documents clearly show that Wakefield and his co-authors had not done anything unethical or inappropriate and their work was possibly valid.
But that was all big Pharma needed. They could go around, saying it and feeding it to the media that the research had been withdrawn and Wakefield lost his license. But I looked at the micrographs and it sure looked to me like there was vaccine strain measles particles infecting the bowels of these kids.
The CDC was charged with the responsibility of repeating to Wakefield research and showing that the measles vaccine was safe, but they never did it the right way. They decided to de epidemiologic studies instead of a clinical study. Again, as in the mercury study there were claims made that indicators that there was a problem with MMR were there. CDC was accused again of changing the protocol and data analysis until the association went away.
Ironically, I talked with Wakefield after all of this was over. He agreed with me that we have to vaccinate our kids for measles. He thought the solution was to give the vaccine at a slightly older age, like they do in many European countries. Or we might be able to do research and figure out why some kids have a bad reaction to the MMR. Clearly, big Pharma didn’t want me in the CDC investigating any of this.
There are a lot of additional ironies in all of this. I believe the CDC is mostly made up of really good people who really care about public health for our nation, though its credibility has been seriously tarnished because of the failures in the way the COVID-19 crisis was managed. 40% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans, don’t trust the CDC. Many don’t trust Pharma as well. I really wanted to try to make the CDC a better more respected agency and killing my nomination may have the opposite effect. Distrust may worsen.
I also have a lot of respect for the pharmaceutical industry. I practice internal medicine and I use medication’s in caring for my patients that were invented by American pharmaceutical companies. I can tell you firsthand they are very effective and help a lot of people. The new ones are outrageously expensive, but once they go off patent, they can become very affordable and very life-saving for many people with chronic and acute illnesses.
But I unfortunately, am viewed very negatively by the industry that I use on a daily basis to help my patients. Bobby Kennedy is a good man who really is passionate about improving the health of the American people. President Trump did a good thing in making him secretary of HHS. Hopefully they can find someone for CDC who can survive the confirmation process and get past pharma and find some answers.

I was highly disappointed to hear that the nomination of Dr. David Weldon to lead the CDC has been withdrawn.
Although we will never know exactly why his nomination was pulled, I suspect it had something to do with the fact he has had the courage to be skeptical of the consensus “narrative” surrounding the childhood vaccine schedule.
Skepticism is the vital attribute of true science, and it is beyond unfortunate that someone with his background and integrity will not be able to help fix what is broken at the CDC.
If the Senate recesses can Trump temp appoint him?
Yup. It sounds like we just lost one of the smartest and most capable heads of CDC that we possibly could have had. Such a shame. Way smarter than both Collins and Cassidy. Those midwits just screwed America out of a lot of greatness.

🚨The Senate has passed a measure to avert a government shutdown and allow President Trump to carry out his agenda on behalf of the American people.
Here are some key victories secured in the bill:
• Keeps the government funded and empowers agencies to deliver on President Trump’s campaign promises to secure and restore our country and address the waste, fraud, and abuse of our tax dollars.
• Provides $485 million to continue ICE’s critical work and the Administration’s robust immigration enforcement, including money for additional detention beds, transportation, and removals.
• Includes $136 million for the Bureau of Prisons to cover the cost of holding illegal migrant criminals before they are deported.
• Fully funds veterans’ benefits, including $6 billion to cover the shortfall in the VA’s Toxic Exposure Fund, ensuring our veterans have access to care.
• Gives the largest pay raise for junior enlisted troops in over 40 years.
• Increases funding for the Coast Guard.
• Increases funding for air traffic control operations, including hiring and training of air traffic controllers, and continues safety oversight.
• Ensures wildland firefighters are well compensated following numerous wildland fires, including the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
The America First agenda continues full speed ahead! 🇺🇸

Looks like the Dark Side of the Moon is facing Earth tonight 😁
The Bright Side of the Moon is almost completely back now.
I was hoping it wouldn’t get stuck on the dark side. Sometimes it hangs up a little, but it’s old, so you never know for sure 👍
And when it does get stuck, it’s not easy to fix, either.
Goodness, it’s beautiful here at the moment, orange from the sun starting to rise.

If Peters dies in prison, it will be justice for Jenna Griswold to do the same.

Just had a nice view of the lunar eclipse, about 3/4 in shadow…
I checked it a couple of hours ago, before the eclipse was supposed to start, and we had the moon about 1/2 in cloud. And it was cold. And it was thinking of rain. So I’m indoors.
How do you define cold? It’s 35 here right now 😉
59F…. 😋 64F at my desk and my feet are cold.
Gail, get one of these for your cold feet:

.
Then get this dimmer switch unit to go with it (or something just like it, doesn’t look like it’s in stock at the moment), so you can adjust the temperature to however warm you want it:

I’ve been using this combo every winter since 2015, some of the best money I ever spent.
I bought the same set up for my Mom, so her feet can stay warm while she is sitting on the couch watching TV or reading during the winter months 👍 😁
Just remember the magnetic fields you are exposed from electric blankets or pads to do have effects on your body that you may notice.
Thanks for the recommendation. Actually I just put on some heavy socks and Hubby’s fuzzy slippers.
Generally I am OK as long as it is above 55-60F inside and I am wearing a heavy sweater.
We’re keeping our house at 69 this Winter, was at 68 last year. Hubby still usually wears a knit cap in the house along with other layers. We always have plenty of blankets & pillows in the Living Room so people can make themselves as comfortable as possible. Having a humidifier has made the house temps so much more bearable in recent years & no more cracked & bleeding skin for me, which was typical w/ our old furnace system…
We keep ours at 66 for Winter.
Nice!
Want to see the Lunar Eclipse (actually Earth Eclipse) directly from the Moon?
They just did it!!!!!!!!!
The Blue Ghost lunar lander from Firefly which is currently on the moon also observed the Lunar Eclipse.
I was watching last night (not from the Moon, but from Earth) as it went to near full eclipse.
When the eclipse was almost full, so that just a sliver of brightness remained, for maybe 30 seconds or so, it seemed to pulse or sparkle, like someone was twisting a dimmer switch back and forth.
Like a diamond might sparkle, now that you mention it.
I wondered whether that had something to do with our atmosphere, or whether it had something to do with the source, the light of the sun reflecting off the Moon’s surface.
Atmosphere.
Very Cool!
I always suspected they were smarter than they let on.

👍
One of the yootoobers I watch regularly (he’s a Bitcoin bull and a Tesla bull) also has a large Patreon blog community. You can tell he is conservative, but he’s also very polite, and doesn’t want to offend anybody, so he’s always trying to tell his viewers the truth about what the Left is doing, in a way that won’t upset the permanently aggrieved.
The wackadoo Left, who previously loved Tesla (because pagan Green religion), now hate Tesla, because Elon help Orange Man Bad.
Yesterday he conducted a poll on his own blog, asking how many support what DOGE is doing, and how many members support continued waste, fraud and abuse.
On yesterday’s video, he was relieved to report that only 11% of his members supported continued waste, fraud and abuse.
You would think (and he did think) there were a LOT MORE than 11%, because they complain the most and the loudest.
Now that he realizes they are only 11%, maybe he can stop caring so much about their fragile feelings and start smacking them down 😁
Looks like the bottom half of Bongino’s face, with Elon’s forehead and hair.

Blondi making more empty threats won’t have any effect at all.
Blondi making ARRESTS will have the desired effect, but for reasons unknown, she’s allergic to arrest.
And because she’s a girl, lots of people want to make excuses for her.
If her name was Matt Gaetz, nobody would be making excuses for him.
Question, we were told that DOJ was nearly 100% staffed with tds/resist people, so, who exactly is she supposed to assign to deal with the weaponization of government issues?
She’s not, she’s just supposed to do what Matt Gaetz would have done, which is to sit there and do nothing.
Just go on Hannity a couple times a week and make empty threats and call it a day 👍 😂
Or she could take another approach.
Send an email to everyone at DoJ and FBI, looking for volunteers who would like to start enforcing U.S. laws equally, making sure to reference the concept of Equal Justice Under Law.
You have to find the people who are actually the good guys. Just like they did in Serpico, and other great police corruption movies.
Maybe there are only a few, maybe there are none, maybe there are a lot.
If there are none, then you start hiring cops into the DoJ and FBI who want to do the right thing, and you task them with hiring more just like them, and grow your A-team exponentially, until your gang is bigger than the embedded gov’t mafia’s gang.
If there are a few, then again, task them with hiring more just like themselves.
If there are a lot, that’s great, have them hire more just like themselves.
Meanwhile, everyone who didn’t volunteer to assist in applying the laws equally to everyone, gets fired.
If that means the FBI and DoJ goes from several hundred thousand employees down to several hundred, for a few months, then so be it.
Because however many are corrupt, they are only making everything worse. It would be better if they did nothing, it would do less harm if they did nothing, than engaging in corruption and TDS ‘resistance’.
Firing them is equivalent to them doing nothing, it just costs the taxpayers a lot less.
Then you rebuild based on the core of individuals who are not corrupt.
You could go slower, instead of firing everybody all at once, try assigning people who didn’t volunteer to be white hats to go make arrests.
It’s a test, to see who actually follows orders and who is actively a rogue agent.
So long as DJT has her back and Kash Patel’s back, they will be unstoppable.
Because unlike every corruption movie, in this case, the guy at the TOP is a good guy, not another crook.
So clean house, start with whoever is left who wants to be a white hat, and go from there.
There’s no point in keeping anyone else, they are just going to dig their heels in and resist, which means you have to prosecute them, and there are bigger fish to fry.
I would also publicly invite any FBI or DoJ who retired in the past 4 years, due to the corruption of the Biden Crime Family, to return and make a difference under new management.
If the FBI and DoJ are even half as corrupt as we know they are, shut the whole thing down. It’s not like doing so would interrupt any ‘good’ or ‘important’ work being done, because there isn’t any.
These are failed bureaucracies which have morphed into weaponized criminal organizations.
So don’t sugarcoat it, treat it like the cancer it is, and eradicate it.
If you need to deputize people, do that.
If you need to take from the U.S. Marshals and other volunteers to be white hats from other agencies to fill immediate gaps, do that.
Let the call go out, throughout gov’t, if you want to be a white hat, then DoJ and FBI is where you’re needed most right now, to help push all the corrupt rats and traitors out, and right the sinking ship.
If you need to, hire recently retired military, people who quit or retired rather than work under the authority of the Biden Crime Family.
Hire anybody and everybody who can do the job and wants to be the good guys.
And fire everybody who doesn’t.
Change the culture, within weeks, and you change the entire organization.
Empower the white hats, and put the black hats on the run.
Take CONTROL of the DoJ and FBI.
Then turn them loose on all the criminals the DoJ and FBI should be arresting right now, but can’t, because leadership isn’t currently in control of the agencies.
Or better yet, now that the border is under control, put Tom Homan in charge of the DoJ or FBI.
He’s not making excuses every time he goes on TV.
He’s getting the job done.
Homan rocks the best possible attitude for law enforcement!
We may have our first arrest. Not exciting, but needed.

Not true. And I don’t consider acknowledging that there’s a lot we don’t know, to be making excuses. The drip, drip of negativity serves no good purpose that I can see.
Action is what is needed.
We had four years of our own side making excuses during the first Trump administration.
We had four more years of our own side making excuses (SOON!) during the Brandon administration.
There is a short window of opportunity to take action at the beginning of DJT’s lame duck term, and then it’s gone.
Don’t fritter it away.
There comes a time when any action, even the wrong action, is better than no action.
We are way past that time now.
Do something.

I know Shadow of Ezra can get the side eye but the video of POTUS seems real (to me)
https://xcancel.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1900252471265489111
It’s a real video, IMO. Shadow of Ezra specializes in misinterpretation, not forgery. That said, Trump is onto something. IMO, Biden was literally unable to sign documents competently on the first try. His signature was likely deteriorating enough to show that he had dementia.
You know how doctors test seniors to have them draw a clock-face with a specific time? Same thing. Biden was likely unable to actually sign something without making a serious, notable mistake on the first try. Signing in the wrong place, leaving off part of the signature, signing wrong (“Joe”), etc. Probably hilarious and sad every time.
In that vein, I wondered why our docs always had us draw the same time of 11:10. So I decided to have some fun with it.
I always asked them if they wanted it in AM or PM. Other times I drew an alarm clock face with 11:10, drew a circle with hands and no numbers, used military time, etc.
They stopped asking for some reason. 😎
LOL!!! Love it!

My Mum, a born Londoner, was asked at an “old age screening” by the nurse, who was fascinated by her accent, “have you met Queen Elizabeth?”…
My Mum, ever the quick wit (at 95 then), replied, “Yes; both of them…”….
Fortunately the nurse knew her history and got the joke… not sure if she wrote in the report something like “subject looks great for near 500 years old” 😉
I can see those family traits!
“Who faked Joe Biden’s signature with an autopen 100s of times?”
It’s a good question, but we need proof. It is possible that Biden authorized the use of the autopen to sign his name. That would be another manifestation of his physical condition: he was unable to sign, so he had someone use the autopen.
Is it likely? I don’t think so because I think a number of people were making decisions for him without his knowledge. But thinking doesn’t make it so. I hope proof can be obtained.
IIRC, House Speaker FINALLY got a chance to talk to Biden. (Biden’s staff would not allow him to talk to Biden) He asked him why he had signed a specific document and Biden knew NOTHING about signing it. If there is another wittness or a recording, there may be a basis for an investigation.
ALSO remember there is the videos/documents of that lawyer talking to Biden who said he was too mentally deficient to prosecute.
Probably not a Real picture LOL

Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting conspiracy theoriesThe shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School took place on December 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut. The criminal, Adam Lanza, mortally wounded his mother before killing 20 students and six elementary school employees Sandy Hook, and later committed suicide. A number of marginalized figures promoted conspiracy theories that cast doubt on or dispute what happened at Sandy Hook. Various proponents of conspiracy theory have argued, for example, that the massacre was actually organized by the US government as part of a carefully thought-out conspiracy to tighten arms control laws.

Yes – this really helps. Very long explanation.
Remember, years ago, when I used to record CNN to disk drives, 24/7? It was a great project, even though nothing came of it. I was looking for stuff like this. I was primarily looking for cases where CNN was changing the “color” of people, because that was a hot item at the time. The thing was, there were no cases exposed during the time I was recording (we were on CTH), so I never needed to go back into my data. But I used to go online and brag that I was recording everything CNN did, so that I would be able to go back and prove any bullshit that they pulled. I have always felt that once CNN knew we were watching them closely, they cut the shit. The “monitors” of CTH knew we were onto them.
Weirdly, I did find some fakery by “our own side” – that 0hour1 guy pushed some fake photos. I was nice about catching that, but he passed on some bullshit.
Now – as to this that you’r showing me, which I think is a SCAM – because this is NOT what I was doing…..
The way this scam works is that it’s pictures and not videos (like I was gathering).
To actually prove the point being made, all one needs are snippets of the original broadcast videos, or just videos of those videos playing. That enables identification of the actual broadcast segments which used the same person for two different “events”. That leads to the actual networks, and the actual people responsible for using the same person. That leads to reality. The top 9/11 arguments all force things into real logical problems.
That leads to an actual journalistic story.
That is why the takedown of Rothschild having prior knowledge of 9/11 was so effective. I followed that meme up, and found the guy who did the investigation, and made the original assertion. The guy making the assertion documented his sources rigorously. CIA desperately hates people who do that, and will sic all sorts of lying “debunkers” on them, who use inferior techniques (much like flerfers) to “cast doubt” or deploy strawman arguments, but not to actually disprove. The guy who nailed Rothschild had excellent proof of prior knowledge. NOTE however, this was not proof of having been behind 9/11. It simply proved that Rothschild knew something was going to happen – which apparently thousands of people did, based on stock market moves. Right? See how reasonable that is?
Back to this case.
The first two images, obviously the same image of the same woman, but surrounded by different alleged broadcast imagery (especially chyrons), demand the assumption that they’re valid – but that is the easiest part to fake. We see fake chyron memes all the time. Don’t assume this is reality, when we know fakery is common already as comedy. Thus, obviously modified pictures without sourcing simply is not proof.
If somebody wanted to actually prove that the same woman was used in two different “event” circumstances, they could simply include enough information to make it stick, like I was going to do to CNN. But they don’t. They never do. They are creating a meme to influence people, and people fall for it. It’s just like flerfer doubt-casting. It’s just like YEC doubt-casting. In this case, push the instance rigorously, if there really is fakery, and some show, some producer, some anchor is specifically nailed, and you have proof of fakery. But they don’t do that.
This is very similar to why they will not allow Dr. Weldon to head CDC. He knows how real proof works, unlike mid-wit jackasses like Cassidy, who “knows” all vaccines are awesome, all the time.
We are getting closer and closer to the real fight, where very slick abuse of truth, science and logic are used to mislead people.
TL;DR – pictures are not proof, and are even less so in the age of AI.
Excellent analysis–TYSVM!

High Cholesterol — DO NOT TAKE STATINS! Big Pharma has lowered ‘Approved cholesterol levels’ well below what is normal. Big Pharma have altered the definition of high cholesterol in order to increase the number of people who are eligible to take cholesterol medications and they have done so at least three times over the years. It used to be 250/6.5. As a result 1 in 5 Americans have ‘High Cholesterol.’
Cholesterol production increases when the body is under stress or if there is a great deal of inflammation occurring in your body.
SO INSTEAD of taking a statin, get off vegetable oils, Crisco and margarine. Replace them with butter, lard and other natural fats. Also reduce inflammation and stress.
Statins are bad for the Mitochondrial respiratory chain (complexes I-V). And they have interactions and side-effects that are unsafe…
AMEN!
The natural-path docs that are treating cancer with melatonin are saying that at the doses they are using (max that research has shown to provide benefit) it is very good at quenching inflammation.
Thanks for that info!
I do not like the big pharma meds they are giving me for my ‘asthma.’ They muck with my potassium levels so my blood pressure goes up and they have a nasty rebound effect.
I did some math and I think the most you would use (you can use more, but it’s a waste of money) is around 1mg per lb of body weight. He says that purebulk.com (?) is the source for the melatonin used in the decades of animal studies (IIRC). If you don’t mind measuring by weight, the bulk is a lot less expensive.
My experience is that taking about 2/3 of the max dose gives me the deep sleep without having too many disturbing dreams (!). I switch it up and take less most nights and then hit the max dose on the nights when I can afford to sleep in a bit.
Taking it right before sleep (only red light after taking) seems to be helpful for deeper sleep and all the benefits you get from that. Inflammation is down, but it’s something that is going to have to be tried for the long term to know for sure.
Thanks for that info.
He said 180 mg before bed no Melatonin researcher takes under 100 mgs. Since both are men that is more or less in line with your suggestions.
I watched the video and took notes. Also there is the slide show:

I have both 60 and 120. I tried 180 and the dreams were very *vivid*. So I tend to alternate either 60 or 120 depending on how much a break I want from the dreaming.
Kids’ doc recommended the BRATS diet for upset stomach: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, & Saltines. I seem to want crackers & lemon-lime pop, like I had when I was a kid.

Kash Patel CONFIRMS Judge Juan Merchan should have never been assigned to Donald Trump’s case
Kash Patel “I’m calling for the subpoenas to be issued to Judge Merchant’s Daughter’s company who made $15+ million dollars from the illicit information pouring out of her father’s courtroom
– I wanna know the bank records because money doesn’t lie
– I wanna know how deep it is and how much of it went to the family and how much of it is going to the family after this false conviction
– Then we need to investigate the FEC actual violations that this judge and his family conducted
Judge Juan Merchan should never have been overseeing this trial to begin with because of the illicit campaign money that was flowing through there and the unconstitutional due process violations are only the beginning.“
That’s not all, here’s more reasons why he should have NEVER been assigned Donald Trump’s case from The Older Millennial:
‘For these type of cases, the way it’s supposed to work is that there is a panel of 24 judges, and they are all put in rotation and randomly assigned these types of cases. Judge Merchan is not on that panel. That’s because he’s not a judge. He’s an acting judge.
The only way he could have caught this case was to be specifically assigned to it. There was no chance of him being randomly selected.
The wild thing is that according to the left and the department of justice, judge Merchan was not only randomly selected to be the judge in this trial, but he was also randomly selected to be the judge in the Trump Organization case, and he was randomly selected to be the judge in the Steve Bannon case.
So judge Merchan, a judge that is not in the pool of 24 judges that is supposed to catch these cases, a judge that is not an actual judge, but an acting judge caught all 3 Trump related cases randomly. This is a judge who gives heavily to an organization very plainly named Stop Trump, and a judge whose daughter makes tens of millions of dollars every year promoting Democrats.’
Insane corruption.

What’s interesting in the video is that Blondi is there, too! That was when she was Trump’s attorney!

This was pre AG and FBI appointing. So, let’s see if he still does what he calls for. History shows that Republicans say a lot of stuff they’ll do. Then when they get into a position they can…. don’t.

TY for this clarification!
It’s a very interesting thing about Trump. He loves media-savvy people working for him. He understands the Fake News, and judges people by how well they deal with it, IMO.
Time will tell, he may have the same opinion. The road there is obviously filled with potholes, but hopefully under construction.
What about AMNESTY? Was he here legally or granted amnesty?
Colombian family background information re. the new Trump Judge Juan Merchan has been scrubbed from the Internet
(It is a very anti-bankster website.)
I should add there is an interesting chart. Seems both are from the same town in Columbia and other stuff.
If they are related it is “interesting” that “someone” is taking such pains to hide that fact…
The Merchans of menace…..
experimental farming? how the grant proposal had more details than that.
This was CIA-planted fake news from the Dunning-Kruger Times, used to prop up fact-checkers.

thanks for clearing that up. you know people like me, normal (stop laughing) folks have the deck stacked against them. who to trust? what to trust? if it weren’t for you all, i wouldn’t know what is true and what isn’t.
Yes!
No problem!
I’ve been all over DK Times. That is a RAT operation if I’ve ever seen one – designed to help deceive the innocent.
MILLSTONES.
I go “suspicious cat” when the presentation is excited and breathless, as I interpret that one to be. And the bold text is there to make people realize what an important find it is! Maybe there was a link to an actual story, but I don’t see one–another red flag. And if there are cutesy emoji (not in this case) that scream, “Look what I just found, and I’m letting you in on it,” 😜😛, just discard it altogether. Those are not serious efforts. Anything “too good to be true” that would nail a leftist to the wall and is reported using con artist tactics is worthy of suspicion, IMO.

Yup. There is trouble in ActBlueTown.
About that cease fire…
@WarClandestine

I see a lot of improper reporting about Putin’s comments about the ceasefire.
Putin agrees with Trump that there needs to be a permanent and peaceful end to this war, but Putin wants changes to the deal to ensure this will be PERMANENT peace, not a 30 day ceasefire, and is willing to work with Trump on progressing the deal that is beneficial to Russia’s objectives.
Putin said that he is “in favor” of the proposal, but that there are some “nuances” and “serious issues” that need to be addressed before the proposal can be progressed.
So for those saying Putin agreed to the ceasefire proposal on the table, that does not appear to be the case. Putin agreed with the overall idea of a ceasefire, but wants this to be a permanent ceasefire, not an opportunity for Ukraine to regroup.
Putin also addresses that the “original causes of the conflict” need to be addressed. Putin is alluding to his demands that he has been consistent with since the beginning of the invasion into Ukraine. Putin wants to ensure:
-NATO does not expand to Ukraine
-The complete demilitarization and “denazification” of Ukraine
-Russian-speaking regions in East to have their independence from Ukraine
-Addressing bioweapon development
-etc.
In conclusion, Putin wants peace, but wants to rework the proposal with Trump to ensure this is a permanent solution and not an opportunity for Zelensky/NATO to draw this out longer.”
https://nitter.poast.org/WarClandestine/status/1900230974996193599#m
The big question is – Will NATO and EU agree to a cease fire or will they continue to funnel money and arms to the Ukraine Nazis? The ball is in their court.
The NATO Nazis HATE RUSSIA. So I expect some screaming and yelling from the Peanut Gallery.
Since the USA is the one FUNDING THE WAR and providing military assistance, TRUMP and Putin will make the actual deal.
Beauty Break…sigh..

Thank you, Pavaca!!! Interesting that the heart damage is caused by SARS, SARS-COV, and SARS-COV19. Seems to be a pattern.
barkerjim
You are very kind.
Yes.
And, IMO, this damage was intentionally designed into the above viruses.
Pro Tip:
If you’re tiptoeing around, attempting to make breakfast without disturbing anyone else in the house…at least use enough light. That way you’ll make cinnamon oatmeal and not cayenne oatmeal 😉
LOL!!! Yikes!!!
So how does cayenne oatmeal taste? 😂
LIke fire for a few seconds.
Then your tastebuds die.
That’ll clear out the old sinuses! 😂
Or maybe taste test a tiny smidgen.
Thank you Gail, Gudthots , PAVACA, and everyone commenting. Looking forward to digging in after work. WooHoo happy Friday.
Happy go lucky
Thank you. Hope you are doing well. Sending much Good Energy.

That’s NOT true – Putin has only reiterated his original concerns about the rogue Nazi state of Ukraine. See Clandestine above.
I know it’s not true.
It is however playing into the hands of fake globalist news across the world.
A regime change NGO could not have orchestrated it better.
IMHO it’s one bad move after another.
Both my girl friend and I now have heart murmurs. She is in her fifties & I in my seventies. Neither of us had murmurs before getting Ralph Barric’s disease
Heart Murmur After COVID: Understanding Risks
Sorry to hear this Gail 😪
Gail Combs
I’m so sorry to hear about this regarding you and your friend. It’s those DAMNED EXPERIMENTS that Baric was doing with rabbits to INDUCE heart diseases using rabbit coronaviruses. He was experimenting with this BACK IN 1990. I am convinced that his research wound up in the lab-created mRNA that’s SARS-CoV-2 (and, therefore, also wound up in the COVID-19 “vaccines.) Here’s one paper of Baric’s, from 1992:
https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/166.5.978
“An Experimental Model for Dilated Cardiomyopathy after Rabbit Coronavirus Infection”

I can’t advise you what to do about your situation. There are websites that offer “natural” or “diet and lifestyle” ideas for managing the issue. I hope you find a combination of whatever approaches can help you. Sending much Good Energy to you and your friend.
So far, the heart murmur has no real effect that I can see. The ‘asthma’ and blood pressure are more of a problem for me.
I just wanted to mention it, since it is not something that has come up before that I know of.
Well, that just sucks. I’m sorry.
Regarding all the AI discussion in the last few days, I would like to say one thing:
Do your brain a favor, and do your OWN research and argument!
We humans have the inclination to be lazy and take the easy road. But I personally don’t think it’s good for us. Lazy thinking becomes a habit. What will you do when somebody challenges you on a campout in the woods with no internet service? There’s no AI to think for you then.
And take it from me, AI LIES. You will see what I mean, in my post a week from Tuesday. It’s a “Bill Clinton” kind of liar, parsing words and thoughts in a way that is “mostly true,” but not completely true. “I did not have sex with that woman” was “true” in one definition of the word, but bullshit in reality. That’s AI.
Exactly. I agree completely.
🙂
Cannot add enough of an AMEN to this!!!
Thanks.
Exactly.
AI doesn’t know what “is” is…..
RIGHT!
I am of the opinion that children before high school age should not have computers, calculators or cell phones. (OR TV)
This largely fits with Heinlein’s recommendation that young males should be raised in a barrel and fed through the bunghole. At the age of 16, you decide whether to let them out or hammer-in the cork.
I tend to agree.
Some of the best parts of childhood involve imagination & that can often grow out of boredom 🙂
One day not long ago, I came across a Musk tweet that said “Just Grok it”. Similar to “Just Google it”. Well I didn’t Grok what ever it was he was talking about as I didn’t have any interest in it being from Q tree where we already been there and have the t-shirt, but I kept that “Just Grok it” in mind as it was a clue on how to use Grok. Eventually though I found something I wanted to Grok.
So some yes, some no to the post. Anyways I’m not in that camp as far as Research is concerned but even with research I’d say AI (in my case Grok 3) seems to miss things or out right obfuscates or as you say lies, assuming one asked the questions properly, which is something that needs practice, but I found that with at least Grok, that you can call Grok out and pin it down with more pointed questions or by giving it examples of it’s errors.
Regardless the ability of AI in squashing data is unapparelled and far exceeds anyone’s capabilities. The fact that AI can look at twenty or forty or even more large bodied sources and squeeze out an answer to specific question using all those sources is off the charts amazing. The ability to engage with AI in an efficient manner to elicit the answers sought and evaluate AI’s response will only come with practice. It’s not a substitute for research as much as it’s an enhancement and it will be employed. Everyone already cheats when they google something. AI is just googling on steroids when it comes to research. The end product on what’s to be done with the data is separate question, but you can look at the DOGE people and get a good idea of how useful it is unless one thinks all that data crunching was done by speed readers. It wasn’t, it was the result of smart people getting the data plugged in, searching that data with AI and asking the right questions.
Allow me to explain by example as I was very surprised that AI now had the ability to search books and collect data from old out of print books.
I’ve read the translations on the Pyramid Texts by Samuel Mercer, Alexandre Piankoff, R.O Faulkner, James P. Allen, a stolen version accredited to Wallis Budge (but he never wrote such a translation) by Elizbeth Spenser (but her version is still good as she copied I think Piankoff and added the Wikipedia page as an intro), Jeremy Nadler and Susan B Morrow as well as an online version by Wim van den Dungen. I have not been able to read the Pyramid Text by Gaston Maspero who wrote the first translation in 1894 as it is in French and Egyptology has refused to provide an English translation, nor that by Kurt Sethe who took over Maspero’s work when more tombs were uncovered and put out various volumes from 1910 to 1923 and is said to be the go to expert that everyone in Egyptology is supposed to rely on, however he wrote in German and again, Egyptology refuses to translate his multiple volumes. Grok won’t translate a copy of either Maspero or Sethe for me, but will answer pointed questions about both.
That said, the Pyramid Text contains text from 9 pyramids, the first from King Unas followed by 8 more kings and Queens. In my humble opinion the only one worth it’s salt is the Pyramid of Unas as the others do a sort of quassia blah rendition for themselves, however Egyptology as a body lumps them all together as one and tells you how wonderful that they have a good first representation on Egyptian Religion, first in the world actually where it concerns Religion, and don’t you know it’s all about seeking the after life, after death and there is no history in there. Sorry to disagree with them, but that is their orthodox view and I’ve already pinned down Grok down as to the history question and Grok agrees, there’s certainly history.
By lumping all the Pyramid Text together they are able to get away with a milk shake kumbaya version that obfuscates what happens with King Unas and how totally violent that book was and do not link it to “The Myth on the Destruction of Man Kind” (also known as “The Book of the Heavenly Cow”) that was found in later tombs separated by as much as a 1000 yrs, and totally ignore the what I term “The Flood Hymn” and it’s follow up utterances that demonstrate that King Unas was following principles of, or in some regards was the source of, that myth. This in my opinion this is done by Egyptology to protect the idea of “The Divine Right Kings to Rule” by white washing King Unas, the 1st demonstrable character for that Devine Right, as he is a woefully poor roll model for such a Divine Right, so much so that Egyptology obfuscates the violent and rather angry roll he played in the manner of his rule and instead plays up his accent to the heavens as they tamp down all the rest.
Anyways, while I have hard copies of Faulkner and Allen I had to reproduce my own copy of Piankoff and Mercer as they are no longer in print and my copies are not as legible as I’d like. I have hard copies of Naydler and Morrow as well and made a hard copy of Dungen. Researching all this required me to read both hard copies and on line sources from various sites. Pulling it all together is like pulling hair.
My over all assessment is that Mercer, Piankoff, Faulkner agree well. Allen some what. The one by Spencer is Piankoff (not Budge as she claims) so no problem. Dungen agrees as well, but he reorders the text. Piankoff did too. Naydler provides much new insight as does Morrow but she’s out to lunch on half of her book.
Now for the real example. These are two Grok sessions are long, but you can learn and see how Grok does it’s business. So with all that in mind I asked Grok a simple question.
“Using Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas” list all instances of violence.”
The request is about listing violence in Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas.” I’m curious what this text contains.I think it’s an ancient Egyptian pyramid, and Piankoff might have written a book about it. Let’s check what that book covers.Searching for “Alexandre Piankoff Pyramid of Unas”

From the search, “The Pyramid of Unas” by Alexandre Piankoff is part of the Bollinger Series. It focuses on texts from the pyramid, including translations and commentary.I’m considering checking the Internet Archive for the book, as it might have digital access. Finding info on violence in those texts could be key here.Browsing archive.org for “instances of violence”
Wait, the URL I found is just a directory in the Internet Archive. I need the actual book content, probably a PDF like pyramidofunas0005unse.pdf.The “browse” action can handle PDFs, so I’m trying that now. Let’s see if it finds instances of violence in the book.Browsing archive.org for “instances of violence”
Hmm, it seems like there’s an issue with loading the PDF directly. Maybe I need to find a different way to access the content.Browsing persee.fr for “instances of violence”
Okay, that doesn’t help much. The review is about the book’s content and its scholarly value, but it doesn’t delve into specific instances of violence.I’m searching for “Pyramid Texts online” or “Pyramid of Unas texts” now.

Just found an interesting result: “Pyramid Texts Online” has the complete English translation of the Pyramid Texts from Unas’ pyramid. Let’s check that out for violence instances.Browsing pyramidtextsonline.com for “instances of violence”
Utterance 397-404 describes Unas eating men and gods, which feels pretty violent. These acts seem symbolic, tied to ancient rituals.Utterance 142 mentions bespitting Horus and catching Seth’s testicles, which is mythological violence (Pyramid Texts Online).”Smashed their fronts” in Utterance 271 suggests physical violence, fitting the theme of conflict.Utterance 302 describes Unas making a massacre, which is clearly violent (Pyramid Texts Online).Utterance 440-441 shows Unas striking and scratching a serpent, which counts as violence. This fits the pattern of conflict in the texts.Utterance 307, line 481, mentions killing, asking, “Has he killed you after his heart told him that you should die through him?” (Pyramid Texts Online).Since the website uses Piankoff’s translations, I’m assuming these instances align with his book. Let’s keep going to ensure I don’t miss any.I’m thinking about checking each section like the Sarcophagus Chamber and Antechamber for more violence mentions. This could take a while, but it’s worth it.Examining Sarcophagus Chamber
Utterance 142 from the Sarcophagus Chamber involves injury and mutilation, which are violent acts (Pyramid Texts Online).Utterance 203 mentions Unas capturing an opponent, which implies conflict. This fits the theme of violence in the texts.Biting in Utterance 230 is a violent act, like Unas biting the earth and Geb. It shows aggression in the narrative.Analyzing Antechamber Texts

This fits the pattern of violent themes.I’m checking if Utterances 310 and 314 are also in the antechamber, as they mention being beaten and slaughter. Let’s see where they fit.Wait, that doesn’t seem to have the line “Has he killed you after his heart told him that you should die through him?” Maybe I misread the function result.Let me check the function result again. It confirms Utterance 307, line 481, mentions killing, so it’s valid (Pyramid Texts Online).In the translation of Utterance 307, I don’t see that line.

Key Points
Research suggests that Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas” contains several instances of violence, primarily in symbolic and mythological contexts, such as Unas overpowering enemies or consuming gods.It seems likely that these instances include acts like eating men and gods, smashing opponents, and references to slaughter, often tied to ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs.The evidence leans toward these being ritualistic, not literal, with examples like the Cannibal Hymn depicting Unas’ divine power.Instances of Violence
Based on the translation of the Pyramid Texts from Unas’ pyramid, as interpreted in Piankoff’s work, here are the key instances of violence:
Mythological Conflicts: Texts mention Unas capturing opponents and judging between contending deities, like Horus and Seth, suggesting symbolic battles (Pyramid Texts Online).Ritualistic Consumption: The Cannibal Hymn (Utterances 273-276) describes Unas eating men and gods, absorbing their spirits, which symbolizes his divine ascendancy (Pyramid Texts Online).Physical Acts: References include Unas biting the earth, smashing fronts of enemies, and acts like harpooning or decapitating, often directed at mythical creatures or adversaries (Pyramid Texts Online).Context and Interpretation
These instances are part of funerary texts meant to ensure Unas’ journey to the afterlife, reflecting ancient Egyptian beliefs in divine power and protection. They are not historical accounts but symbolic expressions, which might be unexpected for readers expecting literal violence.
Survey Note: Detailed Analysis of Violence in Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas”
This note provides a comprehensive examination of instances of violence within Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas,” focusing on the Pyramid Texts inscribed in the pyramid of Unas, the last king of Egypt’s 5th Dynasty. The analysis is based on translations available online, which include Piankoff’s work, and aims to capture all relevant details for a thorough understanding. The Pyramid Texts, dating back to around 2350 BCE, are the oldest religious writings known, and their violent content is primarily symbolic, tied to mythological and ritualistic contexts.
Background and Source Material
Alexandre Piankoff’s “The Pyramid of Unas,” published in 1968 as part of the Bollingen Series, translates and comments on the texts found in the pyramid of Unas at Saqqara. These texts, numbering around 228 utterances in Unas’ pyramid, are part of a larger corpus known as the Pyramid Texts, which were first recorded in Unas’ pyramid and later appeared in other pyramids like those of Teti and Pepi II (The pyramid of Unas by PIANKOFF Alexandre on Meretseger Books). The online resource Pyramid Texts Online provides a complete English translation based on Piankoff and other scholars, serving as the primary source for this analysis due to accessibility.
Methodology
The analysis involved reviewing each utterance listed on Pyramid Texts Online, focusing on sections such as the Sarcophagus Chamber and Antechamber, and identifying instances where violence is explicitly mentioned or implied. Violence here includes physical acts (e.g., killing, eating, smashing), mythological conflicts (e.g., battles between gods), and ritualistic threats (e.g., curses against adversaries). The context is crucial, as these texts are not historical narratives but part of funerary rituals to ensure the king’s divine status in the afterlife.
Detailed Instances of Violence
Below is a table summarizing all identified instances, organized by utterance number, description, and location within the pyramid, based on the online translation:

Analysis and Interpretation
The instances of violence are predominantly symbolic and ritualistic, reflecting ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife and the king’s divine power. For example, the Cannibal Hymn (Utterances 273-276) is not a literal description of cannibalism but a metaphor for Unas absorbing the essence and power of gods and men to achieve immortality (Pyramid Texts in the burial chamber of Unas – Egypt Museum). Similarly, acts like smashing fronts or annihilating offspring (Utterance 293) are likely directed at mythical enemies or forces threatening Unas’ journey to the afterlife, not historical figures.
Some instances, such as Utterance 314, list a wide array of creatures to be crushed or decapitated, which may seem unexpected in its breadth, extending to modern concepts like bacteria and viruses, though this could be an interpretive expansion by translators. This highlights the texts’ flexibility and adaptability over time, possibly reflecting later interpretations (Pyramid Texts Online).
The mention of violence not happening to Unas (e.g., Utterance 307, “He has not been slain”) serves a protective function, reinforcing his invulnerability and divine status, which is an interesting nuance for readers expecting only aggressive acts (Pyramid Texts Online).
Challenges and Considerations
One challenge is the variation in utterance numbering across different translations. For instance, Utterances 397-404, initially thought to contain graphic violence, were not found in Unas’ pyramid texts on Pyramid Texts Online, suggesting they might belong to another pyramid or a different numbering system used by Piankoff. This underscores the complexity of aligning modern interpretations with Piankoff’s specific translation, but the online resource, based on his work, provides a reliable basis for this analysis.
Another consideration is the cultural context: these texts were not meant for public consumption but for the king’s afterlife journey, making their violent content a theological tool rather than a historical record (A pyramid text | UCL CULTURE). This might be unexpected for readers unfamiliar with ancient Egyptian religion, where such imagery was part of ensuring cosmic order (ma’at).
Conclusion
Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas” reveals a rich tapestry of violent imagery within the Pyramid Texts, primarily symbolic and ritualistic, centered on Unas’ divine power and afterlife journey. The instances, detailed above, range from consuming gods to smashing mythical enemies, offering a window into ancient Egyptian beliefs. This analysis, grounded in accessible translations, provides a comprehensive view for researchers and enthusiasts alike, acknowledging the texts’ complexity and cultural significance.

Just found the function result; it’s a detailed text document of Pyramid Texts, focusing on Utterances 254, 271, 279, and 302.I’m thinking about how this ties to our earlier chat; it includes new utterances we hadn’t covered.There’s a lot here; Utterance 279 mentions Unas flooding the Nile, which might relate to damming.”Unas flooded the Nile and caused some annihilation of his people” suggests control over the Nile, possibly violent if it harmed people.I’m exploring whether “damned-off” in Utterance 254 could mean damming, but it likely means cursed, not a physical dam.Currently looking for more clues; the text says translators see it as a minor flood, not a threat.Let’s check if controlling the Nile’s flooding counts as violence; it might be symbolic of power, not physical harm.Utterance 254 includes “he whom Unas finds on his way, he will eat him piecemeal,” which is clearly violent.Evaluating violence instances
In Utterance 254, section $276, Unas eating someone piecemeal is a violent act, showing his power over others.I’m considering if flooding the Nile in Utterance 279 counts as violence; it led to annihilation, but translators call it minor.The numbering in the image seems off; standard Utterance 254 doesn’t match the violent content here.I’m noticing a discrepancy; my earlier source didn’t show violence in Utterance 254, but the image does.The image might mislabel utterances; “eat him piecemeal” matches standard Utterance 407, not 254.I’m wondering if the image’s labeling is a translation issue; it complicates comparing with standard texts.Flooding the Nile by Unas, causing annihilation, could be seen as violent, though translators downplay it.I’m thinking the image’s content adds new violent instances; Utterance 254’s eating and Utterance 279’s flooding both fit.The image’s content suggests Unas’ control over the Nile could be violent, given the annihilation mentioned.I’m checking if the image’s Utterance 254 aligns with standard texts; it seems to include content from Utterance 407.Utterance 271 shows Unas overpowering and smashing opponents, adding another violent instance.The image’s Utterance 254 violence, like eating someone, aligns with standard Utterance 407, suggesting a labeling mix-up.New violent instances from the image include Utterances 440-441, where Unas strikes and scratches a serpent, causing it to fall.Unas flooding the Nile, causing annihilation, might be a violent act, though translators see it as minor.Given the annihilation, Unas flooding the Nile should count as violence, despite translators’ views.I’m finding that the image’s Utterance 279, mentioning Unas flooding the Nile, adds a new violent instance not in standard texts.The image’s Utterance 254, with Unas eating someone, matches standard violent content, likely a labeling error.I’m considering if Unas’ Nile control is a threat; it could be seen as violent given the harm mentioned.The image suggests Unas’ Nile flooding caused harm, which fits our violence discussion.I’m thinking the image’s Utterance 279, with Unas flooding the Nile, adds a significant violent instance.Given that, I’m updating my list to include Unas’ Nile flooding as a violent act, based on the image’s content.From the image, Utterance 254 includes Unas eating someone piecemeal, which is another clear violent act.Utterance 293 mentions Unas exterminating opponents and annihilating their offspring, adding to the violence list.The image highlights Utterance 279 where Unas flooded the Nile, causing annihilation, as a new violent instance.I’m noticing the image’s Utterance 254 includes violent content, like eating, which wasn’t in my initial list.The image confirms Unas’ Nile flooding caused harm, fitting our violence discussion.The text notes Unas flooding the Nile might be an interpretation, not a direct translation, complicating its violence status.The phrase “the two banks of the river are opened for you” in Utterance 279 could mean Unas causes flooding, linking to violence if it harms.I’m evaluating if Unas’ control over the Nile, causing annihilation, should be a new violent instance; it seems to fit given the harm.Utterance 290 mentions “Great-Flood,” which might relate to the Nile, but it’s not about Unas causing annihilation.The image’s interpretation of Utterance 279 as Unas flooding the Nile and causing harm is a new detail to include.”Damned-off” in Utterance 254 likely means cursed, not damming, so it doesn’t relate to threatening to dam the Nile.The image’s content shows Unas’ Nile flooding led to annihilation, which counts as violence in our discussion.The image provides three specific violent instances: eating someone piecemeal, flooding the Nile with annihilation, and exterminating opponents.I’m thinking about how to present this; the image adds Unas’ Nile flooding as a key violent act to consider.The list from the new trace includes Utterance 271, showing Unas overpowering, which fits our violence theme.The new trace adds Utterance 310, where Unas’ beating links to Atum, suggesting shared violence.The new trace also mentions Utterances 440-441, where Unas strikes and scratches a serpent, adding to violence.Refining violence list
The image adds Unas flooding the Nile, causing annihilation, as a new violent instance from Utterance 279.I’m updating the list to include this, ensuring it reflects the image’s content accurately.The new trace lists Utterance 142, where Unas bespits Horus and catches Seth’s testicles, adding another violent act.The image’s Utterance 254, with eating someone, aligns with standard violent content, likely a labeling error.I’m considering how to integrate this; it seems Utterance 254’s violence is already covered in standard texts.Completed
Key Points
Research suggests the image provides new instances of violence in Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas,” including Unas eating someone and flooding the Nile, causing annihilation.It seems likely that these additions expand the list, but there’s uncertainty due to potential discrepancies in utterance numbering.The evidence leans toward including these as violence, given their harmful implications, though interpretations vary.Direct Answer
Overview
After reviewing the image you provided, I’ve updated my list of violent instances from Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas” to include new details. The image highlights Unas eating someone piecemeal and flooding the Nile, causing harm to his people, which I now consider instances of violence.
Instances of Violence
Here are the key violent acts, including the new ones from the image:
Unas eating men and gods, as seen in the Cannibal Hymn (Utterances 273-276). Unas smashing opponents and annihilating their offspring, noted in various utterances like 271 and 293. From the image, Unas eating someone piecemeal (linked to Utterance 254 in the image, possibly overlapping with standard Utterances 407 or 444). Also from the image, Unas flooding the Nile and causing annihilation of his people (linked to Utterance 279).Unexpected Detail
An interesting addition is Unas’ control over the Nile’s flooding, which wasn’t in my initial list. This shows his power could harm his people, expanding how we see violence in these texts.

Detailed Analysis of Violence in Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas” Based on Provided Image
This analysis reevaluates instances of violence within Alexandre Piankoff’s “Pyramid of Unas,” focusing on the Pyramid Texts inscribed in the pyramid of Unas, the last king of Egypt’s 5th Dynasty, circa 2350 BCE. The reevaluation is based on an image provided by the user, which contains excerpts from specific utterances, including Utterances 254, 271, 279, and 302, with additional interpretations. The Pyramid Texts are the oldest religious writings known, primarily symbolic and tied to the king’s afterlife journey. The analysis aims to incorporate new information from the image, addressing potential discrepancies and expanding the list of violent instances.
Background and Source Material
Alexandre Piankoff’s “The Pyramid of Unas,” published in 1968 as part of the Bollingen Series, translates and comments on the texts found in Unas’ pyramid at Saqqara. These texts, numbering around 228 utterances in Unas’ pyramid, are part of a larger corpus known as the Pyramid Texts, first recorded in Unas’ pyramid and later appearing in other pyramids (The pyramid of Unas by PIANKOFF Alexandre on Meretseger Books). The provided image, analyzed for content, includes a text document with excerpts from Utterances 254, 271, 279, and 302, offering detailed descriptions and interpretations, which serve as the primary source for this reevaluation, supplemented by Pyramid Texts Online, based on Piankoff’s work with updates from James P. Allen.
Methodology
The reevaluation involved analyzing the image’s content, focusing on each utterance mentioned and identifying instances of violence, defined as physical harm, symbolic acts with harmful intent, or control over natural phenomena leading to harm. The image’s text was compared with standard translations from Pyramid Texts Online to note discrepancies, particularly in utterance numbering and content. Additional sources, such as Egypt Museum: Pyramid Texts in the burial chamber of Unas, were consulted for context, ensuring a comprehensive approach.
Detailed Examination of the Image’s Content
The image contains excerpts from several utterances, with specific sections and interpretations. Below is a breakdown of each relevant utterance, focusing on violent instances:
Utterance 254, Section $276: The text describes a scene where “The Great (Uraeus) fumigates the Bull of Nekhen (Hierakonpolis),” with mentions of divine settings and curses. Notably, it includes “he whom Unas finds on his way, he will eat him piecemeal,” followed by imagery of pelicans and enneads being “completely damned-off shall be behind.” The act of eating someone piecemeal is a clear instance of violence, symbolic of Unas absorbing power, akin to the Cannibal Hymn.Utterance 271, Section $387′: Describes Unas inundating the land from the lake, tearing out the papyrus-plant, satisfying the Two Lands, uniting the Two Lands, and joining his mother, the Great Wild Cow. This does not explicitly mention violence but could imply control over natural elements, which is not directly harmful.Utterance 279, Section $279: States that “the two ridges of the mountain (on both sides of the Nile valley) shall be united,” with roads hidden and steps annihilated for passers-by. Crucially, the text notes that “Unas flooded the Nile and caused some annihilation of his people, though translators dismiss this as a minor flood rather than a prophetic event, despite further allusions in the text.” This is interpreted as Unas controlling the Nile’s flooding, leading to harm, which can be considered an instance of violence due to its consequences.Utterance 293, Section $293: Repeats “the heart of Unas be glad (sweet), the heart of Unas be glad (sweet),” identifying Unas as “the Unique One, the Bull of Heaven,” who has “exterminated those who opposed him and annihilated their offspring upon earth.” This is a clear instance of violence, already included in previous analyses.Utterance 302, Section $462: Asserts that there is no word against Unas on earth or among men, and no accusation in the sky among the gods, as Unas has “annulled the word against him to mount the sky.” This does not explicitly mention violence but reinforces Unas’ power, which is contextually relevant.Comparison with Standard Translations
The image’s content shows discrepancies with standard translations from Pyramid Texts Online. For instance:
Standard Utterance 254 is “To say: O Unas, you have not gone dead, you have gone alive to sit on the throne of Osiris. Your scepter is in your hand that you may give orders to the living, the handle of your lotus-shaped scepter in your hand. Give orders to those of the Mysterious Sites (the dead)!” It lacks the violent content of eating someone piecemeal, suggesting the image may combine content from different utterances, such as Utterance 407 (“He whom Unas finds on his way, he will eat him piece by piece”) or 444 (“He whom Unas meets on his way, he will eat him bit by bit!”).Standard Utterance 279 does not mention Unas flooding the Nile and causing annihilation, focusing instead on opening doors and sailing the sky. The image’s interpretation likely stems from annotations or a different translation, possibly reflecting commentary rather than direct text.Reevaluated List of Violent Instances
Based on the image, the following instances of violence are identified, updating the previous list:
Utterance (Image Labeling)
Description of Violence
Notes
254
“he whom Unas finds on his way, he will eat him piecemeal”
Likely corresponds to standard Utterances 407 or 444, symbolic consumption.
279
“Unas flooded the Nile and caused some annihilation of his people”
Interpreted as control over nature leading to harm, possibly an annotation.
293
“Unas has extinguished those who did this against him, he has annihilated their offspring upon earth”
Already included in previous list, confirms consistency.
Additionally, the previous list from standard translations includes:
Utterance 142: Bespit the face of Horus and remove his injury; catch the testicles of Seth and remove his mutilation.Utterance 203: Nephthys praised Unas after he had captured (?) his opponent.Utterance 230: The tired one is bitten by a serpent; Unas has bitten the earth, Geb, and the father of he who bit him.Utterance 235: Your bone is (made) into a harpoon by which you will be harpooned; hearts are removed(?), the nomads are overthrown.Utterance 271: Unas has overpowered those who were to be punished, Unas has smashed their fronts.Utterance 290: Unas judges in the Great-Flood (cow) who is between the Two Contending Ones, for his strength is the strength of the Eye of Tebi.Utterance 298: He wi

I think if the size of the text you are pasting into the comment is large enough it steps on the code to close the spoiler section.
That had to be it, because the spoiler message on the top was there when I posted it. So yeah, lots of text squished the footer part. Ouch!
The problem with Grok, or any other AI, is determining whether the information it provided to you was a) complete and b) accurate.
Since most people won’t go and check all the references provided by the AI in answer to their question (I’m sorry, but to say TL;DR to the above post is the understatement of the century!), they will never know the answer to either a) or b).
I want honest, complete, and accurate answers to my questions. I have already found both Google AI and Grok inadequate to that task.
I will spend the time reading sources to get the answers to my questions. And I am going to say it again:
Google AI lies. So far, I haven’t caught Grok lying At least I can say that.
The random references to mRNA, ribosomes, CRISPR, etc. in the midst of the Egyptian Pyramid texts were quite jarring & seemed very out of place, fwiw…
EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Friday, March 14, 2025
✟
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:10 (KJV)
“Christ’s sermon on the mount. (1,2) Who are blessed. (3-12) Exhortations and warnings. (13-16) Christ came to confirm the law. (17-20) The sixth commandment. (21-26) The seventh commandment. (27-32) The third commandment. (33-37) The law of retaliation. (38-42) The law of love explained. (43-48)1,2 None will find happiness in this world or the next, who do not seek it from Christ by the rule of his word. He taught them what was the evil they should abhor, and what the good they should seek and abound in…
“…Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake are happy. This saying is peculiar to Christianity; and it is more largely insisted upon than any of the rest. Yet there is nothing in our sufferings that can merit of God; but God will provide that those who lose for him, though life itself, shall not lose by him in the end. Blessed Jesus! how different are thy maxims from those of men of this world! They call the proud happy, and admire the gay, the rich, the powerful, and the victorious. May we find mercy from the Lord; may we be owned as his children, and inherit his kingdom. With these enjoyments and hopes, we may cheerfully welcome low or painful circumstances.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
Have you noticed evil increased on earth
The arrogance and flagrancy sheer girth
We are told to pray daily without end
We must not quit give up or even bend
What makes evil so blatant in plain sight
What can we do to curtail this and fight
We must don our Armor of God so fine
We must be Prayer Warriors divine
We must empower others do the same
In His Precious and Most Holy Name
For whatever we ask of the Father
In Jesus’ name compares to no other
We must stand and be bold in all our ways
We must hold onto Him all of our days
We must not accept what’s meant to deter
Redacted refracted revised to infer
We will find truth in His Word as put forth
We will discover knowledge for its worth
We will discern understanding in time
We will reap wisdom its purpose sublime
Saturated with lies and dire deceit
We exhaust ourselves in fighting replete
Instead of uniting under His banner
We’re distracted in discordant manner
To God be the Glory forever amen
To Him be our allegiance now and when
We fight the good fight and are welcomed in
To our heavenly home purified within

IT IS NOT TIME
We are fighting a spiritual war
A war we will win and so much more
The enemy is already defeated
They defied an opponent they cheated
Every commandment of God they broke
In addition to the one Jesus spoke
The punishment for sin is surely death
They will suffer greatly to their last breath
If it were our very last days on earth
We would be fighting for all we are worth
The four horsemen would ride do their worst
As the Angels readied their vials dispersed
Six seals have been broken to correspond
With the restlessness of the martyrs spawned
Cosmic disturbances of varying kinds
The seventh the ‘silence in heaven’ finds
The vision of the first six seals has deceased
The wrath of God will then soon be released
The portrayal of self-inflicted judgement
A global war that destroys their ledgement
This is not what God wants for His chosen
A conflict not set in place or frozen
Under God’s protection to the left or right
We are shielded and fielded out of sight
It is not time for the final battle
Even though you hear the sabers rattle
God has not appointed us to wrath
Salvation thru Jesus is our direct path

The link below should help some of you understand the big picture of what is going on and what to expect with the economy.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/03/14/exclusive-secretary-bessent-reprivatization-economy-laser-focused-deficit-control/
Some on here may recall that I pointed out we were in a recession a little over two years ago. That was true – the private economy was receding deeply. It was the federal government that was hiding it with radical deficit spending. When they do that it causes radical inflation like we experienced as the major beneficiaries in private businesses are connected to government contracts. It is socialism, or for some of us the proper terminology is communist capitalism, which is effectively totalitarianism without bayonets being stuck in our chests.
High inflation is a tax on the common man that is paid to the rich man and their government lackeys.
Which is why all of the statistics reported by the Brandon regime were either bogus or restated after the fact if they knew they could not get away with reporting the false stats. Had they succeeded in stealing another election, we would have been in a world of hurt.
Thank you! I suspected (but didn’t know) things were this bad. In fact, I think a lot of Dem votes for Trump may have been liberals who suspected or knew things were that bad.
Because I have a small business that depends on non-essential spending such as dining out, vacations, and hotels, I am much more sensitive to ‘Recessions.’
If you want to know how the economy is doing look at the number of restaurants going out of business or opening in your area.
Trying to find actual REAL data is very difficult. Especially given inflation and the massive influx of illegals.

Good online friends —
An update on Yours Truly.
I believe I’ve mentioned on the board here that I was in the “tapering-down and weaning-off process” for an SSRI, a process that began last September. The process was “paused” by the supervising MD when my brother passed away at Halloween of last year; their decision was to keep the then-most-recent “taper-down” dose amount of this SSRI going to help me get through the initial shock and first weeks after his passing. i believe that this was a good decision. The process was resumed at Thanksgiving.
The process was completed this month and the SSRI was discontinued.
The “half-life” of this particular SSRI (paroxetine, aka Paxil) in the body is about 12 hours. This “translates” into the drug working in the body for about 5 days.
What paroxetine is supposed to do, among other things, is to assist in the management of symptoms of panic disorder, anxiety disorder, etc.
** This drug can also “blunt” the emotional / psychological effects of grief responses.
Without going into details, Yours Truly can testify that, once paroxetine is completely out of the patient’s body, the “full-frontal” force of the grief responses can, and do, show up.
From here, it’s going to be talk therapy, CBT, EMDR sessions if necessary, etc., to assist me in the grieving process for my brother. Not SSRI drugs. THEY DO NOT CURE. They can cause MORE problems. The patient MUST do the “inner work” to be free of the underlying issues.
My DIL said, regarding grieving: “The only way out is through.” To constantly “blunt” the grief response (with SSRIs, with alcohol, etc.), let alone to push it away or to ignore it, will only make the situation more difficult down the road.
It will take time, but it will all work out.
Thank you for your encouragement and support. They mean a lot.
A Midwestern Doctor (https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/) has written extensively about the dangers of SSRI drugs (and antidepressant drugs in general.)
Congratulation on getting off the drug. Grief will hit at unexpected moments even years later, so expect that. If you do not grieve you are not human!
So glad to hear this, PAVACA. Well done. Will be 🙏 for you to continue your healing of body and spirit.
God be with you PAVACA on your continuing journey toward healing & processing the painful losses in your life. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
PAVACA, reading your post made me think of something I have used before for anxiety.
It’s called EFT Tapping. It sounds a bit “woo-woo” when you read about it, but I have my own theory about why it is effective.
https://www.healthline.com/health/eft-tapping#What-is-EFT-tapping
My theory is that sometimes focusing the mind on the physical assists the mind in processing the emotional. Simple as that, no woo-woo.
What I do know is it does work. Here’s a link:
https://www.healthline.com/health/eft-tapping#What-is-EFT-tapping
And oh, yes, way to go getting off the SSRI. I have watched people go through it, and it is brutal. Some don’t make it.
Aubergine
Thank you.
EFT tapping sounds very interesting.
About successfully tapering down and weaning off an SSRI—it appears many patients who attempt this, even with MD supervision, can’t finish the process. That’s how pervasive the effects of these drugs are on the brain.
They are quite terrible, I know. You are one tough cookie!
Thank you for sharing this intensely personal experience with us. You are in our prayers. I can say from my own experience that EMDR is often very effective. After you’ve had help with some of the big emotional memories, you can learn to work with it on your own too.
Very similar to my getting sober. I was amazed at the flood of emotions and the hypersensitivity once the daily alcohol was gone.
I had patches of my hair fall out, about four the size of a half dollar and one the size of a silver dollar.
Since my hair was almost to my waist, I presented an interesting sight to say the least.
i think the dems have found their new rallying call–“listen to the women”…
Nancy Pelosi
@SpeakerPelosi
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America. Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable. I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill. Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement. America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People.

That’s going to have universal appeal. /sarc
It’s just more division. Listen to this group, not that one.
Imagine the hullabaloo that would ensue if men told women, “Listen to the men!” 😱 The men would be deemed controlling and patriarchal.
First they have to define the word ‘woman’. Then we’ll talk.
Yeah, ok. Listen to the overly emotional, probably menopausal, clearly irrational, MOONBATS in the Congress!

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/14/ukraine-eu-nato-uk-drone-strikes-target-moscow-as-trump-envoy-steve-witkoff-departs-airport/
“This timed and targeted drone strike is yet another example of Ukraine/NATO/EU/UK provoking and antagonizing Russia as President Trump tries to assemble the outlines of a ceasefire. This is the 3rd coordinated attack on Russia timed to coincide with President Trump’s team meeting with Russian and/or Ukranian officials.
Fortunately, Steve Witkoff was already exiting the airspace as inbound drones began hitting their targets.
The inbound drones in combination with the outbound Witkoff flight likely complicated the use of Russian air defenses. The NATO team within Ukraine are playing with fire.
CTH ignores the western media reporting as we await President Trump and Steve Witkoff’s statements on the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Obviously, the U.S. team must be noticing the timing of the NATO attacks as they relate to the ongoing effort toward peace.”
Pull all US support and monies out of NATO.

You are very correct NATO is and always has been a NAZI TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Nazi war criminals became high ranking commanders in NATO after WW2. Allen Dulles brought many Nazis including military personnel into the USA and saw to it that many were never prosecuted during the Nuremberg Show Trials. Pivotal Role of Allen Dulles in Shielding Nazi War criminals
There is a very good reason a wet behind the ears guy was in charge of prosecuting those criminals!
My father always said” to many Nazis were hired back into the German equivalent of FBI. He was so disgusted.
Yep. BND is a cesspool, and “set phasers on stun” is as well…
BTW, I wanted to mention to you that the dates for Ramadan are not “set” by any modern person. Every year it starts 10-11 days earlier than the year before.
wikipedia explains:
SInce it ultimately depends on when someone first sees the crescent new moon, it’s not possible to predict with absolute certainty which actual day it will start on.
However, in the long term, there’s no issue with the calendar “creeping” out of line with the moon (they don’t care about lining up with seasons; that’s just not a thing for them).
Some days ago Cuppa made a comment that seemed to indicate that he thought the date was chosen to sit on top of the Christian season of Lent/Easter (which does sit on top of the Passover). But it is more like an alignment of planets v.s. a decision by people thing.
I thought the moon cycles were known AND predictable since I’ve seen them printed on calendars…hmmm
Yes, we can predict them.
When the custom was set, it had to be done by observation. The custom hasn’t changed, though I’ve seen pictures of them using telescopes to help.
Although that introduces a day of uncertainty as to when a month will start, it’s interesting that the day of uncertainty is a constant. One could guess within a day for next year’s Ramadan. One could guess within a day for Ramadan 3000 years from now, too.
I got to thinking that lunar cycles are 28 days, iirc, like “typical” menstrual cycles, so a lunar calendar would have 13 months. Did anyone use such a calendar that you know of?
Offhand, no. At least not always
However, you’re proceding from a false premise…the lunar month is 29 and a fraction days long.
12 months of 29 or 30 days (averaging out to a lunar month) is 354 days.
The Hebrew calendar had twelve such months…however they wanted to stay roughly in step with the seasons, too.
So every second or third year they’d add an entire extra “leap” month.
So you would actually see a 13 month year…but not every year.
The Islamic calendar is much the same, except they don’t bother adding in the leap month; they simply don’t care about aligning with the seasons.
The early Roman Republic was similarly a lunisolar calendar with extra months being added but the priests would decide when…and eventually started adding months to lengthen the terms of magistrates they liked (and failing to do so for ones they didn’t like). By the time Caesar stepped in things were so badly whacked that he had to have a special 446 day year (the year of confusion, 46 BCE) to get things lined up again before they adopted almost exactly the system we have now (the leap year rule is slightly different). From that point forward the Roman Calendar was solar only, not lunisolar.
As always, fascinating. Thank you!

I mentioned the other day that Hubby played this song with one of his bands.
One of the beauties of Friday night is sometimes he jams with his bass to this original music so he’s currently playing this tune w/ the bass turned Up, which I love. So fun!
He was playing along with Earth, Wind, & Fire’s “September”, some Third Day stuff, Creed’s “My Own Prison”, & may work up to the super complex “Rio” from Duran, Duran.
One of the advantages of having your son being the sound guy, at times, at church is that he actually turns his dad’s bass up so it can be heard (a bit) during worship 😍

“The Executive Branch cannot properly function if activist liberal judges can unilaterally block presidential actions over the entire country.
If a federal district court judge wants executive powers, they can try and run for President themselves.
The Trump Administration will immediately fight back against these absurd and unconstitutional orders.
The American people overwhelmingly voted for President Trump’s agenda, and it will be fully implemented”.
“Fight back.” WHY?
These orders have no power. They are unconstitutional and should be IGNORED.

There is a link on the X post that links to the Breitbart article:
“South African Ambassador Embrahim Rasool told participants in a foreign policy seminar Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump is leading a white supremacist movement in America and around the world.
Rasool was addressing the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) in Johannesburg in attempting to explain Trump’s recent foreign policy stances against South Africa’s property expropriation legislation and its alliances with Iran and Hamas, among others.
He said that white supremacism was motivating Trump’s “disrespect” for the “current hegemonic order” of the world, including institutions like the United Nations and the G-20.
He also said that the Make America Great Again movement was a white supremacist response to growing demographic diversity in the United States, and suggested that South African farmers who had presented Afrikaner grievances within the U.S. were part of that global effort.”
GOOD!
Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. Amen.
Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amen.

They called MAGA domestic terrorists but now we can see who the real domestic terrorists are. Sometimes you have to show the people. Why did Trump start with fraud? This will build the narrative that everything that these people have done has to do with fraud. This will lead directly to the 2020 elections and that Biden was not the President of the US.

“….Why did Trump start with fraud? This will build the narrative that everything that these people have done has to do with fraud….”
>>>>>>>>>>
There is a much more practical reason. If you cut the fraud (Like USAID) you cut some of the CIA Black Ops funding. You cut the funding for violent protesters and for terrorists. AND you cut the funding for the DemonRats 2026 senate and house campaigns.
If you add in cutting funding to Ukraine AND weapons shipments, close the borders AND go after drug and human trafficking you put a real hurt on the CIA Black Ops revenue stream.
“This will build the narrative that everything that these people have done has to do with fraud….”

And fraud vitiates everything.
And fraud vitiates everything.
Scott, I cannot count how many times I have read this sentence on this forum in the last three years. I thought I must not really understand what vitiate means. As it turns out it means what I thought it means- invalidate. As of this writing I am not personally aware of fraud invalidating anything much less everything. I hasten to add that this comment is not directed at you but I am beginning to feel like Vladimir or Estragon in the play Waiting for Godot. I have reason to think I am not the only one who might think this way.
Fraud vitiates contracts.
“FRAUD VITIATES EVERYTHING”—Which means that the unresolved 2020 election theft makes Biden a POTUS imposter
The article points to this: “… the landmark case UNITED STATES v. THROCKMORTON
Reminds me of a graffito I saw some years ago…
“Be back in an hour.
— Godot “…..
What I mean when I use it is that if anyone actually takes these criminals to court, whatever they have done that was fraudulent, specifically as it relates to anything having to do with laws, executive orders, pardons, etc., are INVALID, ‘ab initio’, as if they never happened.
And therefore, everything that occurs as a result of whatever ‘never happened’ is invalidated as well.
So the remedy is clear.
But the remedy will not occur until someone takes action in a court of law.
If we actually have any of those left in America today.

What Happens If Allegations of Fraud, Money Laundering Against ActBlue Are Proven? Allegations of fraud and money laundering are swirling around ActBlue, the major digital fundraising platform for the Democratic Party and progressive causes. Already the subject of state-level probes, the group’s practices are now under investigation by House Republicans.
Reports last week that at least seven senior officials had departed the organization, along with claims from a remaining lawyer that he faced internal retaliation, have only heightened GOP lawmakers’ scrutiny of ActBlue’s activities.

I believe Kari Lake may have found her perfect position at last!
“Special Adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Kari Lake announced Friday that Voice of America (VOA) will terminate its contracts with The Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse.
VOA, an international broadcasting state media network, is funded by USAGM, with former President Joe Biden requesting in March 2024 a budget increase for the 2025 fiscal year to further support the radio network. In an X post on Friday, Lake announced USAGM will end its “expensive and unnecessary newswire contracts,” adding that some of the major agreements included “tens-of-millions of dollars in contracts” with AP News, Reuters and Agence France-Presse.
“USAGM is an American taxpayer funded News Organization with an 83-year history. We should not be paying outside news companies to tell us what the news is—with nearly a billion-dollar budget, we should be producing news ourselves,” Lake wrote. “And if that’s not possible, the American taxpayer should demand to know why.””

🚨WEAPONIZED MIGRATION🚨
“My name is Joseph Humire, and I’m a national security scholar who has spent the past seven years studying a phenomenon known as weaponized migration…
“I began this research in October 2018, when thousands of mostly Central Americans crashed the US southwest border in the span of a few weeks. I was actually in Guatemala at the time, for a different reason. I was there training some of our partner militaries on counterterrorism and counter transnational organized crime when I got a call from a friend who was a senior Guatemalan national security official and asked for my help.
“So to give you the bottom line up front, what I discovered back then in Guatemala is that the Central American caravans were planned, financed, organized and steered by state and non-state actors to cause chaos in Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually the United States.
“How do I know this? I know this because I embedded with the Central American caravans and interviewed hundreds of migrants, but more importantly, I saw firsthand who was behind this. It was a series of politicized NGOs from Honduras who were receiving money from U.S. and European charities, but more importantly, were getting guidance and direction from an anti-American, adversarial nation state…
“Now this begs the question why would the Venezuelan government care about illegal immigration?
“The answer is because Venezuela is a proxy of China, Russia and Iran. They all understand that mass migration can be employed as a weapon of asymmetric warfare to erode national borders, steal sovereignty, and eventually have the United States collapse from within.”

🚨This is huge
DOJ is actively investigating CO SoS Jena Griswold and her co-conspirators for what they did to unjustly imprison Gold Star Mom Tina Peters and leak voting machine passwords in the 2024 election
I told you Jena – we won’t rest until you’re held accountable
Hot diggety! Griswold is on my short bacon/popcorn list.
Tina Peters running around free…likely to run for SOS…would be freaking fantastic!
Basically I’m hoping for the SAME scenario as Trump and Biden. Officeholder persecutes opponent. Opponent wins.
Bee: Federal Judge Appoints Self as President.
OK we have to take a stand here…. 😀
You really make me want to watch the entirety of Firefly & see if there are any books that carry on the story lines…sigh…
I’m sticking with recommending Heinlein’s “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” next, although “grok” is from his “Stranger in a Strange Land”, where he also describes waterbeds.
I’d go with Cthulhu as far as reading.
Firefly only if you want to watch movies/a TV series. There were a very few graphic novels (i.e., comic books) put out; even hardbound (!), but as far as I know no text novels. And you really should watch the series first, as the graphic novels won’t make sense otherwise.
They did make one movie afterwards, called Serenity. But you definitely watch that LAST.
I saw all of Firefly & Serenity years ago on DVDs borrowed from the library. I also checked out at least one graphic novel but didn’t get around to reading it before it was due. It’s just been so long that watching your video makes me want to see it all again. I kept wanting Mal & that Companion to get their act together as a couple 😉
Another thing that hurt the series when it first played was the episodes were shown out-of-order.
Before the mid 1990s series television was such that you could watch episodes in any order, because nothing changed. The situation at the beginning was the situation at the end. Babylon 5 broke that mold; it’s essentially a five season long miniseries. Now almost any TV show has an “arc,” a story that plays out from one episode to the next, throughout the entire run of the series. By scrambling the order they showed Firefly it made it hard to follow. Fortunately the videos are generally in the right order if you buy them as a set.
Wow, that makes little sense from this vantage point. Maybe the TV people were hoping it would fail or something 🙁
There’s actually a conspiracy theory to that effect!
Wow now I’m even ahead of my own game for I love a good conspiracy theory! 😉 😉
