Understanding the mass line.

The mass line was a political campaign style developed and used by Mao Zedong and the CCP in the People’s Republic of China. It’s a very common method for doing agitation and propaganda, as well as for driving radicalization ever since.

The name “mass line” suggests two possible meanings, and as it happens, the technique uses both. One is that the “mass line” is the line the masses are taking, and the other is that it’s the line being fed to the masses.

Here’s how it works.

The mass line begins by being extracted from the masses. Issues that are likely to agitate or incite them are determined by the propaganda office. The issues should be ones that are likely to invoke mass mobilization campaigns tapping a lot of negative, or sometimes positive, emotions (e.g., frustration, anger, fear, despair, or hope and enthusiasm).

These issues are then studied by the propaganda office to determine how they can be packaged, or codified, in terms of the party’s interests, ambitions, and interpretive frame.

These reframed inciting issues are then fed back to the masses in a mass line campaign, which runs reflexively to make it seem like it’s the current issue everyone is talking about and mobilizing around. The emotion under the mass line as it was extracted gets channeled into the mass line campaign as it benefits the party.

For example, the masses could be angry and frustrated that rents are too high and housing is unaffordable. The party would then recognize this reservoir of resentment in the people and would codify it by deciding it is caused by the landlords being too greedy and selfish. They would then feed this interpretation of the issue in a big-scale campaign back to the people with the goal of inciting and mobilizing them all at once. “Rents are too high because we have too many landlords who are greedy!”

The party will likely also package in a pre-determined solution pathway into the mass line because the point is often to get the people to demand the thing the party wants to do. They might add, “we need rent controls” or “we need state ownership of apartments.”

The mass line is then pushed with a vigorous campaign that makes it feel like the most important issue everyone is talking about, and one that has to be solved now, usually according to the line provided by the party. The masses are thereby mobilized to protest and demand what the party wanted in the first place. Their energy, which might be quite legitimate, is coopted to the party’s agenda.

That’s how the mass line works. Be on the lookout. We see them everywhere now.

PS:

For those who followed my explanations of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, this is the same methodology applied to education, as Freire himself explains in Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Gathering the mass line is finding the “generative themes,” which the educator then “codifies” and delivers back to the students in a “decodification” that interprets their circumstances for them to awaken critical consciousness and to inspire radical activism.

There are several different psychological methods used to manipulate the public. I think we have all heard of the Hegelian dialectic: Problem – Reaction – Solution. An excellent example is making schools ‘No Gun Zones’ via the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. Followed by Facilitating school shootings and then scream we need to get rid of the 2nd Amendment Right to bear arms.

Hegelian Dialectics: The Devil’s Winning Tool

since the days of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels it has been used as a guided process toward a desired end.

The objective of Hegelian dialectics in this sense is to replace something old with something new (e.g., capitalism with communism, traditional Bible doctrine with theological modernism, a traditional educational system based on moral absolutes with a new one based on relativism, an old age with a new).

Used like this, Hegelian dialectics cannot produce the new thing, but it can destroy the old. Other processes and techniques come into play in actually producing the new thing that is desired.

Hegelian dialectics is used today to create a “paradigm shift” by replacing an old “paradigm” (prevailing belief system) with a new one. It is a technique of “social evolution” and “political transcendence.”

It is not an innocent process. It is used by “change agents” and “facilitators of transformation.” Hegelian dialectics is “the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution” (Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich, “What Is the Hegelian Dialectic?” October 2005, http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm).

Speaking religiously and spiritually, it is an ever-evolving system that never arrives at absolute truth. All is relative and negotiable and the end justifies the means….

Another method we ran into during the Farm Wars was the Delphi Technique.

If you look that term up on Brave today the first three options you get:

Investopedia: What Is the Delphi Method, and How Is It Useful in Forecasting?

In contrast with many other types of interviews and focus groups, Delphi studies allow participants to rethink and refine their opinions based on the input of others, contributing to a more reflective and thoughtful process.

Delphi method – Wikipedia

The following key characteristics of the Delphi method help the participants to focus on the issues at hand and separate Delphi from other methodologies: in this technique a panel of experts is drawn from both inside and outside the organisation.

Delphi methodology in healthcare research: How to decide its appropriateness

Abstract

The Delphi technique is a systematic process of forecasting using the collective opinion of panel members. The structured method of developing consensus among panel members using Delphi methodology has gained acceptance in diverse fields of medicine. The Delphi methods assumed a pivotal role in the last few decades to develop best practice guidance using collective intelligence where research is limited, ethically/logistically difficult or evidence is conflicting….

Delphi Technique in Project Management: PMP 2025 Tips

The Delphi technique is an excellent consensus-building tool for complex project decisions that lack historical precedent or data. The Delphi method is a game-changing project management method to drive consensus and make complex decisions using an anonymous, and iterative approach by experts to provide input without influence from others…

The Delphi method (also called Wideband Delphi) was developed in the 1950s by the RAND Corporation as a forecasting methodology and named after the Greek Oracle of Delphi who foretold the future.

It is a structured, iterative process to solicit expert opinions and reach a consensus on complex problems or decisions which involves a facilitator sending multiple rounds of anonymous questionnaires to a panel of subject matter experts….

All nice glowing articles about the technique.

After reading that crap, I decide to make my notes from a couple decades ago available because the Delphi technique is not as innocent as those articles portray it. The key phrase is CONSENSUS BUILDING’

The original issue that brought all of this to light was of course the absurdly inflated claims of danger to scientists. Just like AGW, its all done “for the cause.”

Reading about this “deliberative democracy” project is extremely disturbing….

This needs to be looked into. Who set this up, who paid for the “study”, who is behind this? Are there other “deliberative democracy” projects like this going on in any other countries?

Sounds like “manipulative democracy”, not “deliberative democracy.” Scary stuff indeed.

________________________

It is rather common I am afraid. It is the method used to give “legitimacy” to pre-determined out comes. In group settings, the Delphi Technique is an unethical method of achieving consensus on controversial topics.

The Delphi Technique. Have you ever been Delphied?

The basis of the Delphi Technique is to achieve consensus on controversial topics and requires professional facilitators, we are told….

More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving.

You, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen, decide to take part in one of these meetings.

Generally, you will find that there is already someone designated to lead or “facilitate” the meeting. Supposedly, the job of the facilitator is to be a neutral, non-directing helper to see that the meeting flows smoothly.

Actually, he or she is there for exactly the opposite reason: to see that the conclusions reached during the meeting are in accord with a plan already decided upon by those who called the meeting.

The Delphi Technique for Controlling Public Meetings – What it is, and how to counter it

In her article USDA Employing Delphi Technique, Marti Oakley describes the opposition we face as we go to the USDA listening sessions. I faced a similar situation when I attended a county meeting to discuss our land being turned over to the local tribe, as well as water rights.

I recognize now that the technique used in that meeting to manipulate the people present was the Delphi Technique. Although not aware of it at the time, I did use the technique described in the following article to counter it. This response came naturally, and was probably due to my former peace officer training. Countering this technique is not difficult, and I recommend it.

Here is a link to an article that describes what the Delphi Technique is:

The Delphi Technique – What Is It?

Here is a link to an article that describes exactly how to counter the technique and get your message across:

The Delphi Technique – How To Disrupt It

When you go to the meetings, make sure to arm yourself with this information. It is invaluable.

Barb

The Delphi Technique – What Is It?

The Delphi Technique was originally conceived as a way to obtain the opinion of experts without necessarily bringing them together face to face.  In recent times, however, it has taken on an all new meaning and purpose.  In Educating for the New World Order by B. Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is “…lay, or community, participation (in the decision-making process), while lay citizens were, in fact, being squeezed out.”  The Delphi Technique is the method being used to squeeze citizens out of the process, effecting a left-wing take over of the schools.

A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the “Alinsky Method” (ibid, p.123).  The setting or group is, however, immaterial; the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics).  This allows for a special application of a basic technique.

The change agent or facilitator goes through the motions of acting as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question.  The facilitator listens attentively, forms “task forces,” “urges everyone to make lists,” and so on.  While s/he is doing this, the facilitator learns something about each member of the target group.  S/He identifies the “leaders,” the “loud mouths,” as well as those who frequently turn sides during the argument — the “weak or noncommittal”.

Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes “devil’s advocate.”  S/He dons his professional agitator hat.  Using the “divide and conquer” technique, s/he manipulates one group opinion against the other.  This is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear “ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic.”  S/He wants certain members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate.  The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation.  S/He is able to predict the reactions of each group member.  Individuals in opposition to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.

The method works.  It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group.  The “targets” rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated.  Or, if they suspect this is happening, do not know how to end the process.

The desired result is for group polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of the group and group process.  S/He will then throw the desired idea on the table and ask for opinions during discussion.  Very soon his/her associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition…

The Delphi Technique – How To Disrupt It

Ground rules for disrupting the consensus process (Delphi Technique) — when facilitators want to steer a group in a specific direction.

1)    Always Be Charming.  Smile, be pleasant, be courteous, moderate your voice so as not to come across as belligerent or aggressive.

2)    Stay Focused.  If at all possible, write your question down to help you stay focused.  Facilitators, when asked questions they don’t want to answer, often digress from the issue raised and try to work the conversation around to where they can make the individual asking the question look foolish, feel foolish, appear belligerent or aggressive.  The goal is to put the one asking the question on the defensive.  Do not fall for this tactic.  Always be charming, thus deflecting any insinuation, innuendo, etc, that may be thrown at you in their attempt to put you on the defensive, but bring them back to the question you asked.  If they rephrase your question into an accusatory statement (a favorite tactic) simply state, “that is not what I stated, what I asked was… (repeat your question).”  Stay focused on your question.

3)    Be Persistent.  If putting you on the defensive doesn’t work, facilitators often resort to long drawn out dissertations on some off-the-wall and usually unrelated, or vaguely related, subject that drags on for several minutes – during which time the crowd or group usually loses focus on the question asked (which is the intent).  Let them finish with their dissertation/expose, then nicely, with focus and persistence, state, “but you didn’t answer my question.  My question was… (repeat your question).”

Remember…

always be charming,

stay focused, and

be persistent.

Never, under any circumstance, become angry.  Anger directed at the facilitator will immediately make the facilitator “the victim.”  This defeats the purpose which is to make you the victim.  The goal of the facilitator is to make those they are facilitating like them, alienating anyone who might pose a threat to the realization of their agenda.  [People with fixed belief systems, who know what they believe and stand on what they believe, are obvious threats.]  If the participant becomes the victim, the facilitator loses face and favor with the crowd.  This is why crowds are broken up into groups of seven or eight, why objections are written on cards, not voiced aloud where they are open to public discussion and public debate.  It’s called crowd control.  It is always good to have someone else, or two or three others who know the Delphi Technique dispersed through the crowd; who, when the facilitator digresses from the question, will stand up and say nicely, “but you didn’t answer that lady’s/gentleman’s question.”  The facilitator, even if suspecting you are together, certainly will not want to alienate the crowd by making that accusation.  Sometimes it only takes one occurrence of this type for the crowd to figure out what’s going on, sometimes it takes more than one. 

If you have an organized group, meet before the meeting to strategize.  Everyone should know their part.  Meet after the meeting to analyze what went right, what went wrong and why, and what needs to happen the next time around.  Never meet during the meeting.  One of the favorite tactics of the facilitator, if the meeting is not going the way he/she wants, if he/she is meeting measurable resistance, is to call a recess.  During the recess, the facilitator and his/her “spotters” (people who wander the room during the course of the meeting, watching the crowd) watch the crowd to see who congregates where, especially those who have offered measurable resistance.  If the “resistors” congregate in one place, a “spotter” will usually gravitate to that group to “join in the conversation” and will report back to the facilitator.  When the meeting resumes, the facilitator will steer clear of those who are “resistors.”  Do not congregate.  Hang loose and work the crowd.  Move to where the facilitator or “spotters” are, listen to what they have to say, but do not gravitate to where another member of your team is.

This strategy also works in a face to face, one on one, meeting with anyone who has been trained in how to use the Delphi Technique.

With thanks to Sandy Vanderberg, Peg Luksik and others

It is amazing the variety of methods the Cabal has for controlling the ‘Great Unwashed’ Those are just a few.

I think I screwed up one of those Delphi groups.

PG&E had this program where they would scan your house and tell you how energy-efficient it was.

Problem is, our house was originally built in 1955 and layers of remodeling had been done to it. I had done enough of the layers that I knew where things were, but scanning it with an IR detector was going to be worse than useless.

Based on this, I wondered who would gain any useful benefit from such a scan.

But, hey, I got paid a little stipend for an evening’s time.

Gudthots

I’m the one in high school that wouldn’t go along with a psychology class “experiment” and ruined the teacher’s intended lesson plan. I think the design was to show that people will go along against their conscience. Well I didn’t.

cthulhu

I think the premise of “let’s bring in an expert to tell you something” breaks up on the rocks of “I know more about this than any six experts you bring in, combined.”

Gudthots

Old houses are like that.
Every odd thing has a reason, a story, a problem/solution/workaround.

The living/dining wall with the fireplace was built with paneling on the inside — no drywall. Someone subsequently floated it with drywall mud so it was flat. Then, someone put up that fancy wallpaper with reeds laid on the paper. Then someone floated it again and painted it. We tried to hang a picture on it and determined that it was old thin paneling, so we tore all that crud off and drywalled it…..but, since we were in the wall, we also stuffed it with insulation. Accordingly, that wall had good modern insulation.

Just around the corner, there’s a wall from the living room out to the patio. It has no insulation. It used to have a ginormous sliding glass door that got freezing cold — we replaced it with double French with double operable sidelights — which means that the remaining wall around the new French door transmits more heat/cold than the French door…..

One year, I did this marketing study where they had de-badged some cars, painted them all the same color, and had us look ’em over and comment on various aspects. This was on the floor of the convention center, so there was a lot of room and few distractions.

At the end of the session, they told us which car was which and also noted that they had built the cars to be within $100 of each other at the dealer.

I remember that the Nissan felt cheap and cheezy (I was driving a Nissan at the time). The Saturn and Honda were both quite nice. The Toyota was unmemorable, and the other car was less memorable than that because I don’t recall what it was.

I was so impressed by the Honda that my 1994 wagon was my next car. I don’t know if I told ’em anything useful, but I found out which brand I would own for 30 years.

I just drove across the country, Texas to Boston. Smooth ride, wide skies, and mostly good roads. Until I hit the last stretch: Hartford to home.

That’s where the mask came off.

I grew up here. I know what normal looks like. But what I saw on that road wasn’t just reckless, it was absolutely foreign. Sudden swerves. Unhinged acceleration and deceleration. Lane changes like ambushes. The kind of driving I’ve only seen in failed states.

And when you glance over at who’s behind the wheel (if you can even catch them) you already know.

The Northeast’s cities and suburbs are unrecognizable. Replaced by chaos. Subsidized by you. This wasn’t organic. It was funded, engineered and welcomed.

We paid for it, with tax credits, sanctuary policies, and blind ideology. We paid to import census headcounts. We paid for congressional redistricting on our own graves.

We paid to bring in a man who tried to honor kill his daughter in front of her school because she refused to be forcibly married to a man in Iraq.

We paid to import men who beat their wives for showing their faces in public.

We paid for cartel mules, for gang extortion rings, for roving bands who think our laws are a joke.

This is your “color revolution.” It isn’t coming, it’s here. And it’s driving 130 mph in the breakdown lane with no plates.

America, what do you say to that? Feel pretty good about it? Make you feel safe?

Deport them all. Every last one. It is the only way to preserve peace, because it isn’t a question of this will end in bloodshed, it’s a certainty. History has proven this to be true 100% of the time.

Wake up.

Just a reminder: I’m not here to flatter you. I’m here to tell hard truths to prevent bloodshed and preserve the American experiment. Some of it’s hard to hear, isn’t it? I promise it’s harder to say. In some countries, I’d be jailed for this. But truth isn’t negotiable if you want peace, prosperity, and a country your children can recognize.

Stop letting hysterics shame you into accepting cultural suicide. Let their words bounce off like water on stone. The more emotional they get, the less weight their words carry. If they can’t control their own faculties, how could they ever guide a nation?

The goal is not division. It’s assimilation. A unified America where you can leave your doors unlocked on a long trip. Where a stranger greets you on the street. Where your daughter can walk to school alone. Where you don’t need permission and a key to buy razor blades.

That America can be rebuilt. But only if we stop apologizing for loving it.

Okay, you’re on the right track, but you’re only at about a ‘3’ on a scale of 1-to-10 in anger.

Get back to me when you’re closer to a 7 or 8, and I’ll help you attain total clarity… 😂

That’s funny, in general anger and clarity don’t sit together on the neurological bus.

Anger will send YOU to jail, instead of the imported perpy-perps!

Cold anger, however, works. Sundance was right about that, IMO!

Talked to the guy at the meat counter at my local supermarket. Nice guy, probably 30s, has a little daughter he dotes on. Goes by “LA”.

He had planned to go fishing over the Fourth of July. Instead, he spent four days in the hospital.

He’d had a health scare near the beginning of June, where the diagnosis was endocarditis. They gave him some pills and sent him home. After he signed up for the fishing trip, he ran out of pills…..and it came back. During his time at the hospital, his kidneys started to fail, so he kept the doctors busy for a bit.

He’s a big guy, probably over 350, and not terribly healthy…..but I think he was jabbed.

Please send good thoughts and prayers his way.

Gudthots

Heavenly Father.
Grant healing for LA and all those suffering from heart troubles.

TheseTruths

I pray not only for his health but that he will understand what he needs to do in order to get better.

cthulhu

I’m not sure that I understand what he needs to do in order to get better. All my lists start with “don’t get jabbed.”

TheseTruths

I’m thinking about having some awareness of what the jabs do and then using protocols to try to mitigate the effects. I know that might not help some heart conditions, but it seems better than nothing.

One can’t hit someone over the head with “the vax did that to you,” so I’m hoping he will gain enough awareness to make positive health decisions.

kalbokalbs

Fundamentals do not require research. Some amount of common sense. If nothing else, do it for his daughter.

TBH, being overweight isn’t just a problem of making better choices. I’ve noticed that the body puts on weight when it (1) doesn’t have enough trace minerals and essential nutrients AND (2) the liver can’t keep up with the load of toxins coming into the body.

In today’s world a person can be eating food all day long and be starving at the same time. The old fashioned remedy for obesity was bed rest!

Nobody is helping people like this with recommendations for restoring mineral status, healing the gut (think round-up in the foods), supporting liver/kidney health, removing toxic cleaners in the home, toxic chemicals in the garden, and more.

Doctors don’t even know about these issues!

Even the shots, viruses, etc drive inflammation which drives weight gain.

I have compassion for those trapped in such a state.

I’m so sorry to hear about this young man’s health issues.
IMO, if he was COVID-19 “vaccinated”, either the “vaccine” was the total culprit here; or, the “vaccine” aggravated somehing (perhaps a previously-undiagnosed condition.)
IMO, the weight issue may also be involved.

I hope this young man gets the CONTINUING care that he will need.

It has not escaped me that you are running quite an impressive PR campaign in order to protect your business.

Running to conservative podcasters. And groups. In order to be perceived as trustworthy and even likable.

I’m impressed actually. I’m a business owner too. It’s a smart strategy, I get it.

However, your weather modification activities are not in a controlled environment only delivering results for your paying customers (government, farmers, etc) 

No. Your weather modification activities affect everyone. Including many people, who aren’t paying you, and don’t want anything sprayed in OUR skies.

Your PR campaign is strategic though. I mean I’m sure you are worried about some parents who just lost their child suing you when they can finally manage to lift their body off the floor out of their overwhelming grief.

If I were you, I’d be worried too.

Because the reality is you can’t prove the intended or unintended consequences of your weather modification results.

You don’t control wind, pressure systems, and so much more.

Contrary to what you may believe, God can precisely control the weather, man cannot.

The Dark MAHA piece on Geoengineering, by Nicole Shanahan pretty much spelled out the industry that pretty much most of America was unaware has been operating like they were in a Wild West Environment with the lack of control on their activities. If MTG can’t get it banned, at least she can get it tied down because she’s right, you got one little corner of the country paying for rain and the heck with what anyone else wants. No care for the spill over effects of their weather modification programs. That stuff needs to be abolished or reigned in and a lot more needs to be done to find out what else is out there modifying the weather because Cowboy Doriko is just the tip of iceberg. We don’t know a fraction of it.

Geoengineering: Who’s Behind It and How We Stop It
Over the past month, I’ve been in contact with a government whistleblower—an individual who has held high-level security clearances and has spent over a decade consulting directly with major federal agencies. Their experience spans the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, NOAA, and the Intelligence Community. With their permission, I’ve agreed to share here on X the information they provided to me, as they—and I—believe it raises serious concerns.
While the whistleblower did not disclose any classified information, what they did provide was a roadmap to navigate the tangled mess that is our government’s geoengineering programs. They told me that despite President Trump’s 2020 directive to halt taxpayer-funded climate change initiatives, federal grants for solar radiation management (SRM), stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), and other geoengineering technologies are still being issued. The programs haven’t stopped—they’ve just been rebranded.
Geoengineering is now commonly called “climate intervention.” SRM is now referred to as “solar radiation modification.” SAI is now “stratospheric aerosol intervention.” These semantic shifts aren’t scientific; they’re strategic. They’re designed to obfuscate the truth and shield these programs from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, media scrutiny, and public opposition.
The whistleblower provided me with federal grant data showing millions of taxpayer dollars flowing to universities under these new labels. One organization stood out: the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). This nonprofit consortium of 130 colleges and universities manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research on behalf of the National Science Foundation. UCAR has received more than $230 million in direct federal awards. Yet much of the documentation about their work is inaccessible without an internal login. Even so, their public-facing pages and scientific papers reveal clear participation in stratospheric aerosol assessments and other geoengineering research. The university-to-geoengineering pipeline is a real problem, and one that I discussed with Dane Wigington on Back to the People a few weeks ago.

Major universities are recruiting young people to be activists for geoengineering, and many of them later end up working at the very companies pushing these technologies.

0:04 / 1:24

According to the whistleblower, this network of programs is far more advanced and coordinated than the public has been led to believe.
In addition to internal files and historical documentation, they directed me to the Biden-Harris administration’s mandated 2023 SRM Report, which outlines the federal agencies currently involved in geoengineering, climate intervention, solar radiation management (SRM), and stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). These include NOAA, NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Department of Energy (DOE).
NOAA was emphasized as a critical place to start digging, an agency that has taken deliberate steps to discourage public inquiry into its own archives. One document that was highlighted, titled Weather Modification, published in 1979, describes nearly 100 geoengineering projects. These included hurricane manipulation, radioactive and electromagnetically enhanced fog dispersal, microwave chaff deployment, supersonic ice nucleation, and conventional cloud seeding operations. That report was released nearly 50 years ago. Since then, both the funding and the technology have expanded significantly.
Today, NOAA insists it does not fund geoengineering; however, it is currently allocating an estimated $1.2 million to solar radiation research, with up to four projects each receiving $300,000. NOAA disclosed this funding in a webinar last year; a clip of the presentation can be viewed below.

0:03 / 1:48

NASA also plays a critical logistical role. With a fleet of high-altitude, long-range aircraft and a global network of satellites, the agency is uniquely positioned to support large-scale deployment and monitoring of SRM technologies. The SRM Report (pg. 20) even references a National Academies publication describing NASA’s involvement in climate-related flight operations and airborne labs.
None of this is speculation. It is documented, federally coordinated, and strategically concealed behind euphemistic labels. These programs haven’t been discontinued. They’ve been renamed and reframed.
The History of Weather WarfareWhat many Americans don’t realize is that none of this is new.
Our government has been investing in weather modification for over half a century, quietly and expansively, with almost no public oversight. A 1964 congressional hearing by the Senate Subcommittee on Irrigation and Reclamation revealed astonishing testimony about the scale and ambition of federal efforts, even at that time.

During that hearing, the National Science Foundation (NSF) was officially designated as the lead federal agency responsible for weather modification research. This helps explain why so many of today’s geoengineering grants are routed through NSF, rather than more obvious environmental or energy-related agencies. As early as 1959, the NSF was funding large-scale cloud seeding programs, awarding millions to universities for experiments involving the dispersal of silver iodide, hail suppression, and the manipulation of tropical storms and hurricanes.
These programs were already accelerating in the early 1960s. By 1962, NSF had more than doubled its weather modification funding compared to 1961. In its annual report, the agency stated plainly: “The promise of useful weather modification techniques is sufficiently great that research into its full potential should be pushed urgently.” It even went so far as to claim that large-scale weather control might “equal or surpass atomic energy” in its potential to solve global problems such as the “population explosion.”

At the same hearing, Senator Clinton Anderson of New Mexico recalled a chilling warning from Dr. John von Neumann, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission and a pioneer in modern computing. According to Anderson, von Neumann had warned that “weather manipulation, not the ICBM, would be the ultimate weapon for the protection of the free world.” Other expert witnesses echoed the concern. Dr. Irving Langmuir, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist and early cloud seeding researcher, was quoted as saying that the real long-term threat wasn’t from missiles but from weather control. In his own words, one could “control the march of armies and everything” using weather modification.

Geophysical warfare—a term The New York Times used way back in 1972—has in fact been utilized by militaries for millennia, as Peter Kirby explained on Back to the People earlier this year.

Geophysical warfare has been around for a long time, and what has evolved from it has fundamentally altered everything we thought we knew about weather. For starters, geoengineering is no longer strictly reserved for the battlefield.

0:01 / 1:40

Despite the extraordinary claims made during the hearing, legal and ethical concerns were largely brushed aside. Senators acknowledged that liability could become a problem if weather modification went wrong. However, they repeatedly suggested that legal issues could be addressed later and should not hinder rapid experimentation. At no point did they consider public input, environmental safety, or the long-term impacts of aerosolized metals used in these operations.
The obsession with weather control was, and arguably still is, driven by a militarized, industrial mindset. Nature is treated not as something to preserve, but as a system to be engineered. The Colorado River offers a prime example: The federal government has been trying to induce rainfall there since at least the 1940s using various artificial techniques. And yet, despite nearly a century of experimentation, the river is still in decline. The results have not lived up to the promises. The funding, however, hasn’t slowed.
One of the most shocking pieces of information the whistleblower provided was testimony from a 1974 hearing before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Oceans and the International Environment, where lawmakers addressed the pressing need for an international treaty to ban the use of environmental and geophysical modification as “weapons of war.”
While Congress expressed strong support for a ban, the Executive Branch at the time was unwilling to take initiative. Testimony revealed that the Department of Defense held primary authority over weather warfare programs, all of which required at least Top Secret clearance. Furthermore, it was disclosed that the DoD requested the inclusion of vague or flexible language in any treaty—such as “where feasible” or “to the greatest extent possible”—to avoid binding prohibitions. Testimony also revealed that weather modification experiments had been conducted domestically since the 1960s, including in various regions across the United States.

Perhaps the most provocative testimony came from Dr. Gordon MacDonald (pg. 55), who discussed the use of electromagnetic frequencies to influence human brain activity. He described the potential for global-scale manipulation of neurological states, provoking erratic behavior, disrupting cognition, and generating widespread adverse psychological effects. His testimony suggested that these emerging technologies could one day be used not only for environmental warfare but also as tools of psychological manipulation.

Our government is also not the exclusive source of funding for these programs. The fossil fuel industry has also taken a seat at the geoengineering table. ExxonMobil, Shell, and BP have all lobbied for solar radiation modification as a convenient engineering solution to climate change, one that allows them to continue emissions-heavy operations without regulatory consequence. These companies’ scientists are publishing academic papers, funding think tanks, and shaping narratives that normalize geoengineering.
In addition, elite private foundations like the Simons Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Bill Gates’ Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (FICER) are all actively funding projects. They funnel millions into academic institutions, where the work proceeds without public engagement or informed consent.
Bill Gates’ FICER is particularly alarming. The person in charge of disbursing funds there is David Keith, one of geoengineering’s most vocal champions. Keith has appeared on national TV and publicly acknowledged that these activities could result in the premature deaths of at least 10,000 people annually. Still, he continues to advocate for expanding these technologies.

0:01 / 1:31

Officials Neglect Public Health RisksSadly, those deaths may not be purely speculative. Independent medical research (see a couple of examples here and here) has raised serious concerns about human exposure to the fine particulates used in stratospheric aerosol injection, particularly aluminum, barium, and strontium compounds. These substances, when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed, have been linked to a range of neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular conditions.
A 2020 review in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that chronic aluminum exposure correlates with Alzheimer’s-type dementia, pointing out risks of atmospheric dispersants leaching into the human body. Other peer-reviewed research has associated aerosol pollution with rising asthma rates, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and even endocrine disruption. Yet, these risks go largely unaddressed. The EPA has not conducted any long-term toxicological studies on atmospheric dispersants used in climate intervention. Neither have state health departments. Because if you acknowledge the risk, you must also accept liability.
And while this is happening in plain sight, the federal government, in nearly every respect, claims ignorance. The whistleblower informed me that they had previously sent evidence to the EPA, which dismissed it as nothing more than “persistent contrails.” They filed formal requests with the Department of Energy; no response. They testified before state legislatures in support of bills to ban geoengineering, only to see most quietly get held up or killed in committee. The reason is that many lawmakers are funded by utilities and water authorities—organizations that stand to benefit from cloud seeding and other types of weather modification.
The approval process for these operations is just as reckless. NOAA requires only a single-page form (Form 17-4) for anyone to begin modifying the atmosphere. No long-term environmental impact studies, no chemical safety requirements, no business license, no public comment. The form reads like something from a bygone era: simple, outdated, and completely inadequate given the scale of what’s being proposed. And yet, that’s the only thing standing between a private operator and the right to manipulate our weather.
In the Southwest, where the whistleblower now resides, the process is equally lax. Their state’s Water Resources Department manages applications for weather modification and even assists applicants in filling out the paperwork. When the whistleblower submitted a FOIA request asking for all applications related to geoengineering, the department claimed they had none, even though public records show such programs do exist.
This entire ecosystem (federal agencies, university labs, private foundations, and fossil fuel lobbyists) operates in coordinated silence. They push weather modification as a public good while refusing to publicly disclose all of what they’re doing, where they’re doing it, or what the consequences might be.
Why isn’t Congress talking about this? Why are most media outlets labeling it a conspiracy theory? Why do federal and state regulators continue to deny the undeniable? We know that these programs exist. We can trace the money. We can read the grant descriptions. We can see the evidence in the sky.
Why the silence?
The answer, I believe, is fear: fear of the backlash that would follow public acknowledgment, fear of legal liability, and fear of losing control over one of the most powerful tools of environmental and geophysical manipulation in history—the ability to geoengineer our weather.
Changing the Climate on GeoengineeringThe American people deserve better. We deserve informed consent, complete transparency, and, above all, a say in whether our skies, soil, water, and air are being altered without our permission.
That’s why I’m calling for action.

  • We need an Executive Order from President Trump that immediately bans all forms of geoengineering until an independent and publicly accountable review is conducted.
  • We need a Congressional inquiry into every agency and institution—whether public, private, or academic—that currently participates in or funds these programs.
  • And, we need a new Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to unaltered weather in America.

If you care about your health, your children’s health, or just the integrity of the natural world, now is the time to act. This isn’t about politics. This is about basic human rights.
Geoengineering isn’t the future. It’s the present. And it’s time we make it the past.

I’d like to know how we can mock those looneys who list their pronouns with their signatures when our side also misuses pronouns. Just look at the first paragraph – a singular whistleblower yet the plural pronoun ‘they’ is used.

All to avoid identifying the gender of the whistleblower. What’s wrong with he/she? Or s/he? Or simply realizing that identifying the gender is very unlikely to facilitate discovering the person’s identity. How about just calling the whistleblower Alex?

I must be missing something.

  :insane: 

para59r

The thing your missing is Nicole ran in the Democrat Primary as a VP candidate for Kennedy and thus her background is with dem Dems and yes we had to suffer through that. Apologies.  😮 

Another apology. I realized I’ve been posting the Dark MAHA thing recently since the material came out, but those posts did not land squarely on the above (the whistle blower content) which had been my intent all along as it is what I landed on when I first opened this stuff up after someone here posted about it. I assumed this huge development was all there, but it wasn’t and would require more clicking about to find it.

TheseTruths

I think that using “they” to avoid the awkward he/she is a common practice that isn’t related to “muh pronouns.” 🙂

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/parts-of-speech/use-the-singular-they/

“They” as a singular pronoun:

Is “they” singular or plural? The answer is both. As of 2019, most big style guides—including the Associated Press, the Chicago Manual of Style, the MLA style manual, and the APA style manual—accept the usage of the singular they.

As we’ve mentioned before, the singular they is not even a new phenomenon. Merriam-Webster includes usage examples of the singular they dating back to Shakespeare, with notable additions from the likes of Jane Austen and even the traditionalist W. H. Auden.

This week, the House is voting on the GENIUS Act which lays the groundwork for a layered Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) where Americans interact with stablecoins but behind the scenes there are the functional surveillance capabilities of a CBDC.

The bill as written does not expressly ban a CBDC and does not protect self-custody. Self-custody means that you control your own money, not a third party.

On Jan 23rd, President Trump signed an executive order on digital financial technology with two important clauses:

1. People will maintain self-custody of digital assets.
2. Banning agencies from establishing a CBDC in the U.S. or abroad.

The GENIUS Act does not follow President Trump’s executive order because it does not ban a CBDC.

House Leadership did not allow any amendments banning a CBDC. This should NOT be tolerated.

CBDC are a danger to freedom.
A far bigger threat than Fiat Currency, which never should have been allowed in the first place. The biggest ruse of the 19th, 20th and now 21st century is that we need Central Banks to control our ‘money supply’.
CBDC need to be outright banned,.pronto.

Marc Rich: The Original Sanctions Profiteer

Marc Rich pioneered the art of profiting from sanctioned regimes, most infamously by buying Iranian oil during the U.S. embargo and selling it through secret routes. He built vast wealth through opaque offshore companies, setting a model for navigating around sanctions, manipulating commodities markets, and leveraging global connections.

In the 1970s and 80s, he pioneered the spot oil market, buying crude on short notice and flipping it for profit.

He continued trading with Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and during the U.S. hostage crisis, blatantly violating U.S. sanctions.

He was indicted for tax evasion and illegal trading but never stood trial living in Swiss exile until he was controversially pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001, after significant donations to Clinton-linked foundations by his ex-wife Denise Rich.

Ehud Barak: The Israeli Connector

Barak, former Prime Minister and elite special forces operative, bridged the worlds of military intelligence, finance, and global tech. His name surfaced in U.S. legal chatter around Rich, but he was never charged.

He was very close to Clinton and Obama. He even lobbied on behalf of Marc Rich for a Clinton pardon. In late 2002, Haaretz reported that Barak “failed to reply to questions posed by federal prosecutors in New York,” which triggered talk of an arrest threat—but no action followed….

Barak and Rich had overlapping circles, particularly within elite financial, intelligence, and national security communities in Israel and Europe.

As a major figure in Israeli tech and defense, Barak later became chair of Carbyne, a surveillance-tech firm funded by Jeffrey Epstein, and invested in by Peter Thiel.

Barak moved seamlessly between national security, high finance, and global elite networks, making him a perfect bridge between past clandestine operations (Rich) and the modern data-security state (Carbyne, Thiel, Epstein).

EPSTEIN: FINANCIAL FIXER & NETWORKER

Though Epstein never publicly traded oil, his entire career revolved around moving capital for the ultra-wealthy, often through offshore structures.

He was Les Wexner’s money manager, held power of attorney, and allegedly misappropriated hundreds of millions.

Epstein used the U.S. Virgin Islands as a laundering base through entities like Southern Trust Company, which received over $150 million from Leon Black alone.

He invested in Israeli intelligence-adjacent ventures like Carbyne (with Barak) and Palantir and had connections to high-powered political figures on both the left and right.

While no direct record ties Epstein to Marc Rich’s oil deals, he did have the next best thing in his little black book the number of Conrad Black.

Epstein didn’t just traffic underage girls to himself and Ghislaine (as victim statements clearly say they had threesomes)—he moved enormous sums of money for billionaires like Les Wexner and Leon Black, using shell companies like Southern Trust in the Virgin Islands. He also bankrolled Carbyne, connecting him directly to Israeli defense infrastructure via Barak.

Epstein moved capital through opaque jurisdictions and had elite access to politicians.

CLINTON, OBAMA & THE SANCTIONS-TO-PROFIT PIPELINE

Bill Clinton’s 2001 pardon of Marc Rich shocked the political world. Rich had fled the U.S. in 1983 after being indicted for trading with Iran, racketeering, and tax fraud and yet Clinton pardoned him on his final day in office.

This decision was widely viewed as influenced by Denise Rich’s donations to the Clinton Library and DNC.

Under Obama, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) opened the door for billions in frozen assets to return to Iran, and for foreign companies to profit from Iran’s re-entry into global energy, banking, aviation, and tech.

Though Obama sought the deal for non-proliferation, it also mirrored Marc Rich’s original playbook:

Use backchannels (European firms, SWIFT restoration).

Funnel money through complex trade finance systems.

Let elites and state-linked firms on all sides benefit.

Notably:

Glencore (founded by Rich) quickly pursued oil opportunities post-JCPOA.

European energy giants like Total and Royal Dutch Shell signed billions in MOUs with Iran.

Banks, hedge funds, and asset managers prepared to enter Iranian markets via proxies or joint ventures.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

This web exposes the architecture of modern elite influence:

Sanctions regimes are not impenetrable walls, but negotiated markets for those with the right access.

Global crises (like Iran’s isolation) create profit windows for traders, banks, intelligence-linked firms, and asset managers.

People like Rich and Epstein are not anomaly they’re symptoms of a system where laws are flexible for the powerful, and connections span from Pentagon-backed surveillance startups to sex-trafficking compounds.

The Rich–Barak–Epstein–Clinton–Obama matrix doesn’t point to a conspiracy in the Hollywood sense—but rather to a cohesive elite model:

A transnational class of power brokers who move capital, bend rules, and leverage diplomacy and technology to serve elite interests.

Understanding this pattern is key—not just to unpacking the past, but to watching how similar structures emerge around China, AI, surveillance, sanctions, and resource conflict today.

The JCPOA: The Trillion-Dollar Deal Window

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—signed in 2015 was not just about limiting Iran’s nuclear program. It was a massive financial unlock for elite global networks.

How Much Money Was at Stake? $100–150 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets.

A projected $1 trillion in foreign investment over a decade, per European financial forecasts.

Billions in oil, aviation, banking, shipping, and telecom contracts.

SWIFT reintegration allowed banking access and digital transaction infrastructure reactivation—essential for hedge funds, asset managers, and PE firms with offshore arms.

Who Stood to Profit?

European companies like Total, Airbus, Siemens.

Wall Street-connected investment firms positioning via proxies and joint ventures.

Defense tech investors like Peter Thiel (via Palantir and Carbyne).

Private equity elites with Middle East exposure and diplomatic cover.

Clinton-Obama aligned networks through NGOs, foreign policy think tanks, and donor-backed “development” ventures.

Obama’s Circles and Their Stakes:

Many individuals and institutions within Obama’s political, donor, and advisory ecosystem were positioned to benefit directly from Iran’s reintegration:

Former Obama officials went into consulting and investment firms quietly tracking Iran’s opening markets.

Foundations, law firms, and multilateral NGOs—all of which supported the JCPOA—had overlapping donors with Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Clinton-world.

Biden’s later foreign policy team also emerged from this Obama-era network of Iran deal architects and investment strategists.

Clintons and their network stood to gain both financially and geopolitically from the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) and from their ties to key figures in elite finance, including Marc Rich’s associates and Jeffrey Epstein.

While there’s no definitive proof of illegal enrichment, the Clinton ecosystem was deeply embedded in the structures and institutions that stood to benefit from:

Lifting Iranian sanctions

Expanding Western access to Iranian markets

High-level lobbying and investment access

The Clinton Foundation accepted donations from many Middle Eastern-linked interests, including:

Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia (geopolitical players heavily affected by the JCPOA),

Wealthy investors and banking firms that would later position themselves to profit from post-JCPOA investment access in Iran and surrounding regions.

While no donations from Iran or its proxies have been documented, the Foundation’s donor base heavily overlapped with entities preparing to engage with Iran commercially once sanctions were lifted.

Hillary Clinton & JCPOA Framework

As Secretary of State (2009–2013), Hillary Clinton helped:

Build the sanctions regime that pressured Iran to negotiate.

Set the diplomatic table for the JCPOA, which was finalized under John Kerry in 2015.

She later supported the deal publicly, defending it in 2015 and during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Strategic benefit: While Clinton was no longer in office by the time the JCPOA was signed, her allies in think tanks, law firms, and global consulting groups were deeply involved in shaping and preparing for post-sanctions economic openings.

Clinton World’s Ties to Epstein & His Network

Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 26 times, including international trips.

Epstein donated to the Clinton Foundation and was listed as a contact in Clinton circles.

Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, highlighting deep social ties.

 Epstein’s role as a financial fixer and access broker placed him at the intersection of politics, capital, and diplomacy—a world the Clintons thrived in.

The Clintons didn’t just stand to benefit directly from Iran’s return to global markets—they were part of a transnational influence structure that shaped how, when, and who would get in first. Their ties to Marc Rich, Jeffrey Epstein, and global capital networks gave them both access and incentive to remain close to the machinery of profit built around the JCPOA.

Sure seems like many people had reasons with a whole lot of zeros to bury all of this forever.

But, I am sure that is not what happened. The Israel blackmail thing and the other men that have never been publically named thing is probably the story…

Focusing in on the former Prime Minister of Israel. Below is a Grok Summary.

Key Points

Research suggests Ehud Barak, former Israeli Prime Minister, had significant personal and business connections with Jeffrey Epstein, including frequent meetings and financial dealings.

The evidence leans toward these interactions occurring mainly after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, with Barak denying knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.

There is controversy, as these ties became a political issue during the 2019 Israeli election, with calls for investigation, though Barak maintains their interactions were professional and social.

Connections Overview

Ehud Barak’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein included both personal meetings and business transactions. They met dozens of times, often at Epstein’s properties, and engaged in financial dealings, such as Barak receiving funds from an Epstein-associated foundation and Epstein investing in Barak’s ventures. Barak has consistently denied any awareness of Epstein’s illegal activities, framing their relationship as professional and social.

Political and Public Reaction

These connections stirred controversy during the 2019 Israeli election, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding an investigation. Barak’s reputation was impacted, especially as he attempted a political comeback, but he has denied any wrongdoing, emphasizing he cut ties with Epstein upon learning of the allegations.

Comprehensive Survey Note on Ehud Barak’s Connections to Jeffrey Epstein

This note provides a detailed examination of the connections between Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister of Israel, and Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, based on available reports from 2019 and 2023. The analysis aims to cover all aspects of their relationship, including personal interactions, financial ties, and the political implications, ensuring a thorough understanding for readers interested in the historical context as of July 16, 2025.

Background Context

Ehud Barak served as Israel’s Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001 and has been a prominent figure in Israeli politics. Jeffrey Epstein, a financier, was convicted in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution and faced further charges in 2019 before his death in custody. Their connections have been a subject of public and political scrutiny, particularly given Epstein’s criminal activities and high-profile associations.

Detailed Connections

Frequency and Nature of Meetings

Research indicates that Barak met Epstein about 30 times between 2013 and 2017, with at least 36 planned meetings documented, including monthly appointments for nearly a year starting in December 2015. These meetings often occurred at Epstein’s estates in Florida and New York, and they also flew together on Epstein’s private plane at least twice in 2014, once with Barak’s wife and Israeli security guard. The Wall Street Journal and The Times of Israel reported these interactions, highlighting their frequency post-Epstein’s 2008 conviction.

Barak has stated that these meetings were social and professional, often involving introductions to interesting individuals from fields like art, culture, law, science, finance, diplomacy, and philanthropy. He met notable figures through Epstein, such as Joshua Cooper Ramo (2013, boards of Starbucks Corp. and FedEx Corp.) and Noam Chomsky (2015, to discuss Israel’s policies). Barak has denied participating in any inappropriate events, claiming he never met Epstein with girls, minors, or adult women in inappropriate contexts.

Financial and Business Ties

The evidence leans toward significant financial connections. Barak received $2.3 million from a foundation associated with Epstein between 2004 and 2006, as reported by The New York Times. In 2015, after Epstein’s conviction, they entered a business deal where Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak, specifically to fund an Israeli startup named Reporty (now Carbyne), which developed video streaming and geolocation software for emergency services. This partnership was confirmed by Haaretz and became a point of political contention.

Barak has acknowledged these dealings, comparing Epstein to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and stated he officially cut off all business ties upon learning of the allegations, calling them “abhorrent.”

First Encounter and Early Interactions

Their first meeting occurred in 2003 at an event with American dignitaries, arranged through Shimon Peres, as noted in multiple sources. They later met in New York, setting the stage for their subsequent interactions. This introduction by a prominent figure like Peres suggests an initial context of diplomatic or professional networking.

Public and Political Reactions

The connections became highly controversial during the 2019 Israeli election campaign, especially as Barak announced a new party to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu demanded an investigation into Barak’s ties, leveraging the Epstein association as a political attack, as reported by The New York Times and The Times of Israel. Protests and social media campaigns highlighted Epstein’s criminality, with signs appearing at rallies.

Barak’s reputation was damaged, particularly as he attempted a political comeback at age 77 with the Israel Democratic Party and was active in the anti-judicial reform movement. He responded by denying wrongdoing, stating, “I am a feminist. The deeds attributed to Epstein are heinous and I had nothing to do with them,” and compared his decision to give Epstein a second chance to his past political dealings with Netanyahu.

Denials and Explanations

Barak has consistently maintained that he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities during their interactions. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, he claimed he visited Epstein’s island but never met any girls there, emphasizing the professional nature of their relationship. He also noted staying at a building owned by Epstein’s brother in New York, but denied any involvement in Epstein’s trafficking ring, despite photos emerging of him entering Epstein’s townhouse in 2016 on the same day young females were seen entering and exiting.

Additional Allegations and Context

While not directly implicating Barak, some reports, like TRT Global, mention theories of Epstein’s possible connections to Israeli intelligence, given Barak’s military background (serving 35 years in the Israeli army, including as Chief of General Staff). However, these are speculative and not central to the documented connections, which focus on personal and financial ties.

A woman claimed in a report by The Times of Israel that Epstein forced her to have sex with Barak, but this allegation lacks corroboration in the provided sources and is not part of the main evidence. It is mentioned here for completeness but does not form the basis of the primary connections.

While Barak denies any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities and frames their interactions as professional, the controversy surrounding these ties, especially during the 2019 election, highlights the complexity and sensitivity of the issue. This survey note aims to provide a comprehensive overview, acknowledging the political and public dimensions, and ensuring all details from the reports are included for a thorough understanding.

para59r

Grok suggested a more direct question. “What are Jeffery Epstien’s connections to Israeli Intelligence so we took the dive. Note everywhere that says claims are controversial because they have not been officially acknowledged, release of the Epstein files will likely make such claims official.

Grok Again.

Key Points

Research suggests Jeffrey Epstein may have had connections to Israeli intelligence, particularly Mossad, but these claims remain unproven and controversial.

Allegations stem from his relationship with Robert Maxwell, rumored to be a Mossad agent, and claims by former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe that Epstein ran a honey-trap operation for Mossad.

Circumstantial evidence includes Epstein’s investments in Israeli defense-related companies and frequent interactions with figures like Ehud Barak, but no official confirmation exists.

The topic is highly debated, with no definitive proof, and involves sensitive allegations that lack substantiation from official sources.

Allegations and Context

Jeffrey Epstein’s possible ties to Israeli intelligence have been widely speculated upon, but the evidence leans toward unverified claims rather than confirmed facts. Reports suggest his close relationship with Robert Maxwell, whose ties to Mossad are rumored, and statements from individuals like Ari Ben-Menashe, who allege Epstein was involved in intelligence operations, fuel these theories. However, these remain speculative and lack official backing.

Circumstantial Evidence

Epstein’s financial dealings, such as his investment in Carbyne, a company linked to Israel’s defense industry and headed by Ehud Barak, and his visits to Israeli military bases, add to the speculation. His frequent meetings with Barak, documented at least 36 times, also raise questions, though these are professional and social in nature, not necessarily intelligence-related.

Lack of Official Confirmation

Despite these allegations, there is no official confirmation from Israeli intelligence or government sources. The claims are based on books, interviews, and rumors, with no credible investigations providing concrete evidence. This uncertainty highlights the complexity of the topic and the need for cautious interpretation.

Comprehensive Note on Jeffrey Epstein’s Possible Connections to Israeli Intelligence

This note provides a detailed examination of the possible connections between Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and financier, and Israeli intelligence, particularly Mossad, based on available reports from 2019 to 2025. The analysis aims to cover all aspects of the allegations, including personal relationships, financial ties, and the political implications, ensuring a thorough understanding for readers interested in the historical context as of July 16, 2025.

Background Context

Jeffrey Epstein was a financier who faced charges for sex trafficking and died in custody in August 2019, with authorities ruling it a suicide. His connections to powerful figures globally, including in Israel, have led to speculation about his potential role as an intelligence asset. Israeli intelligence, particularly Mossad, is known for its covert operations, and Epstein’s activities, such as alleged blackmail operations, have been linked to such agencies in various reports.

Detailed Allegations and Claims

Allegations of Mossad Involvement

Research suggests that Epstein may have had connections to Israeli intelligence, particularly Mossad, though these claims remain unproven. Key allegations include:

Julie K. Brown’s Speculation: Investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, known for breaking the Epstein case, stated in her 2021 book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” that it is “not beyond the realm of possibility” that Epstein had ties to the Israeli intelligence community. She highlighted his close relationship with Robert Maxwell, a British media mogul rumored to have been a Mossad agent, as a potential link. Maxwell’s funeral in 1991, attended by many members of the Israeli intelligence community and eulogized by then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, supports this rumor .

Ari Ben-Menashe’s Claims: Former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, who claims to have worked for Mossad from 1977 to 1987, alleged in the 2020 book “Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales” by Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin, and James Robertson that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were involved in a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad. Ben-Menashe claimed they provided young girls to prominent politicians for sex and then blackmailed them to gather information for Israeli intelligence. He also stated that Robert Maxwell introduced Epstein to Mossad, and these claims were reiterated in a 2020 interview with RT International . However, Ben-Menashe’s credibility is debated, as Israel has denied his intelligence ties, and his claims lack independent verification.

Virginia Giuffre’s Allegations: Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre alleged on social media, linking to a Reddit page, that Epstein was an intelligence asset running a blackmail operation, further fueling speculation about his intelligence connections .

Alexander Acosta’s Statement: During Epstein’s 2008 plea deal negotiations, U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta reportedly told the Trump transition team that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and that the issue was “above his pay grade,” suggesting possible protection from intelligence agencies, though not specifying which .

Circumstantial Evidence and Connections

Several pieces of circumstantial evidence suggest possible ties to Israeli intelligence:

Robert Maxwell’s Role: Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, is widely rumored to have been a Mossad agent, with his death in 1991 speculated to be an assassination by the agency. Epstein allegedly began helping Maxwell hide money in offshore accounts in the mid-1980s and attended a tribute event for Maxwell in 1991, suggesting a deep relationship . This connection is often cited as a pathway for Epstein’s alleged intelligence ties.

Financial Ties to Israeli Defense Industry: In 2015, Epstein invested $1 million in Reporty Homeland Security (rebranded Carbyne in 2018), a company connected to Israel’s defense industry. The company was headed by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, with CEO Amir Elihai (a special forces officer) and director Pinchas Bukhris (former IDF cyber unit 8200 commander), indicating ties to Israeli military intelligence (Wikipedia, Haaretz). This partnership was controversial, especially given Epstein’s conviction status.

Interactions with Ehud Barak: Epstein met Barak about 30 times between 2013 and 2017, with at least 36 planned meetings documented, including monthly appointments from December 2015. They flew together on Epstein’s private plane at least twice in 2014, and photos from 2016 show Barak entering Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse while young females were seen entering and exiting (TRT Global, The Daily Beast). Barak has defended these interactions as professional and social, denying knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, but the frequency and context raise questions.

Visits to Israel: In April 2008, Epstein visited Israel, meeting with research scientists and visiting Israeli military bases, which could suggest engagement with Israeli security establishments . His “black book” also included Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, further indicating connections.

Description as a “Hyper-Fixer”: Reports from Rolling Stone in 2021 describe Epstein as known in intelligence circles as a “hyper-fixer,” someone who could navigate different cultures and networks, potentially acting as a middleman in Africa and the Middle East . This role could align with intelligence operations, though not specifically tied to Israel.

Public and Political Reactions

The allegations have stirred controversy, particularly in Israel, where they became a political issue during the 2019 election. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded an investigation into Ehud Barak’s ties to Epstein, leveraging the association as a political attack Haaretz. Barak has denied any wrongdoing, stating he cut ties with Epstein upon learning of the allegations and was unaware of his criminal activities.

Additionally, figures like Tucker Carlson have suggested in 2025 that Epstein was working for Mossad, adding fuel to conspiracy theories, though these claims lack substantiation .

Lack of Official Confirmation

Despite these allegations and circumstantial evidence, there is no official confirmation from Israeli intelligence agencies or government sources. The claims are largely based on books, interviews, and statements by individuals like Ben-Menashe, whose credibility is debated, and Julie K. Brown, whose speculation is based on Maxwell’s rumored ties. Israeli officials have not publicly addressed these allegations, and no credible investigations, such as those by the FBI or international law enforcement, have produced concrete evidence of Epstein’s role as an Israeli intelligence asset.

Additional Context and Speculation

Flight Routes and Unusual Activity: In 2016, Epstein’s jet flew over the Mediterranean, Sinai Peninsula, southern Jordan, and north of the Jordan-Saudi border, with speculation about overflight issues related to Israel, though this is not direct evidence of intelligence ties .

Broader Intelligence Involvement: Some reports suggest Epstein may have worked for multiple governments, given his braggadocio about advising leaders like Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, and his alleged involvement in arms, drugs, and diamonds . This broader context suggests his activities could have involved intelligence from various countries, not just Israel.

Conspiracy Theories: The lack of transparency, such as the U.S. government’s decision in 2025 to withhold records from the Epstein investigation, has fueled conspiracy theories, but these do not provide definitive answers .

Donald J. Trump:

This morning I finalized an important Deal with the Republic of Indonesia after speaking with their Highly Respected President Prabowo Subianto. This landmark Deal opens up Indonesia’s ENTIRE MARKET to the United States for the first time in History. As part of the Agreement, Indonesia has committed to purchasing $15 Billion Dollars in U.S. Energy, $4.5 Billion Dollars in American Agricultural Products, and 50 Boeing Jets, many of them 777’s. For the first time ever, our Ranchers, Farmers, and Fishermen will have Complete and Total Access to the Indonesian Market of over 280 million people. In addition, Indonesia will pay the United States a 19% Tariff on all Goods they export to us, while U.S. Exports to Indonesia are to be Tariff and Non Tariff Barrier FREE. If there is any Transshipment from a higher Tariff Country, then that Tariff will be added on to the Tariff that Indonesia is paying. Thank you to the People of Indonesia for your friendship and commitment to balancing our Trade Deficit. We will keep DELIVERING for the American People, and the People of Indonesia!

Curious about about the $15B US energy. Indonesia exports oil and coal (sometimes to the detriment of domestic demand.) They certainly have plenty of sun and wind too! All the volcanoes could supply geothermal power – if you can work around the intermittent eruptions. Same with hydroelectric – if the dams can be earthquake proofed. Perhaps they will buy modern generators??? Refinery equipment for their oil so they can refine it themselves??? A nuclear power plant for the new capital, located on the only geo-stable island in the country?

This is the reason why my BILBM (brother-in-law by marriage) had failure of his original (performed 10 years ago) cornea transplants—the failure happened after he got “boosted” with COVID-19 “vaccine.”
Then, his body rejected the second (replacement) transplants that were performed earlier this year. Had to go back to the hospital and have them “repaired.”

On what subject?

TheseTruths

One is Pam Bondi. She is doing excellent work in law enforcement and is launching investigations into people we have wanted prosecuted for years. Some people on the Right are upset with her about Epstein and don’t acknowledge the good work she is doing. The Left is capitalizing on that, promoting a feeding frenzy of “Bondi has to go.” They would like nothing better than for her to be replaced with a feckless, do-nothing AG, someone who says the right things but doesn’t produce results. They would love to have Bill Barr back; anything to stop their crimes from being investigated and prosecuted. They would love for the work that is being done to be stopped and to lose momentum while a replacement AG is found and approved by the Senate, losing a lot of valuable time. And some people are playing right into this scheme.

Agreed. He has given us enough reasons to trust him. He has earned it.  This isn’t Trump 1.0, where people thought he was some NY liberal and they had “to keep him conservative or honest, or from doing something crazy.”  

This is Trump 2.0. His cabinet is great, his polices are good, his execution has been almost flawless, and he has kept his promises. If he hasn’t earned your trust by now, that’s on you, not him.

I chalk it up to one-dimensional thinking. Pres. Trump is a master at multi-dimensional thinking in order to accomplish his goals. We can learn a lot from him if we pay attention.

Off topic: something has changed with WP today.

Being WP is a whipping boy of sort for some. Seemingly well earned.

Outlier here.

Since Wolf made some big tweaks in QTree “set-up”, WP has been smoother, more reliable, in this users experience.

Wolf Moon

In my experience, the JetPack plugin offers some conveniences, but it has two problems. First, it makes big changes without notice. Second, the big changes can have bugs, side-effects, and hurt some users selectively. Ditto for the Akismet plugin.

We got rid of Akismet when we left WP.com hosting – and we just got rid of JetPack. All our big changes now are only in either WordPress (DotOrg) itself (the base software), or in the commenting software (wpDiscuz). This greater stability is likely responsible for what you are observing.

Burgess Owens Calls Out Georgetown’s Double Standard on Hate Speech

@RepBurgessOwens
confronted Georgetown President Robert Groves with a simple, pointed question:

“Would you allow a member of the KKK who wished the deaths of Black Americans to speak at Georgetown?”

“No.”

Owens didn’t let up: “So if Georgetown would disallow white supremacist bigots, why does it allow Palestinian antisemitic bigots invited by faculty or students?”

Groves had no real answer—just vague talk about diverse viewpoints.

The point was clear: Hate speech targeting Black Americans would never be tolerated at Georgetown—yet Palestinian activists who glorify terrorism and spew antisemitic hate continue to get institutional platforms.

One standard for some, another for Jews.

THIS is what “medical care” looks like in a New Jersey hospital.

A walking symbol of Sharia, fully veiled in a niqab, handling your health records.

Let’s be clear:

Anyone fleeing an Islamic regime and still choosing to wear this oppressive uniform in America isn’t escaping Sharia – they’re here to spread it. Deport them.

This isn’t “diversity.” It’s civilizational infiltration.

Our hospitals are becoming ideological war zones, staffed by people who openly support Sharia, and yet, non-Muslims are expected to trust them with our lives?

I said it years ago, and I’ll say it again louder:

Be cautious when you’re under the care of a devout Islamic medical professional.

You may be their patient. But to them, you are an infidel, a kafir.

And let’s not pretend this is rare — across the country, there are endless documented cases of Muslim doctors and med students celebrating violent jihad.

This is not religious freedom. It’s ideological warfare.

The burqa is not just fabric. It’s a political flag. It’s a uniform of allegiance, not to America, but to Islamic supremacy.

We need to push our leaders at every level to wake up.

Stop bowing to “tolerance.” Start defending the West.

PAVACA

kalbo
Thank you.
Yes.

From here, UNLESS the “Muslim mission creeping” is STOPPED:

Medical facilities of all types will be pressured into installing “Muslim-only spaces” in the cafeterias, the meeting rooms, the OPERATING SUITES, the EMERGENCY ROOMS, the IN-PATIENT ROOMS, etc., etc.
Once that is accomplished, the pressure will start for SEGREGATED AREAS that will SEPARATE Muslim females from Muslim males.
Once the Muslim medical professionals start demanding that FEMALE Muslim medical professionals can ONLY treat FEMALE patients; and, that MALE Muslim medical professionals can ONLY treat MALE patients — the game is over: the medical professional field will then be “conquered” for Islam.
From there, it will progress to Muslim medical professionals will ONLY treat Muslims — /they will refuse to treat “infidels” — and this demand will be honored.

This is aside from Sharia Law being introduced and implemented into MEDICAL SCHOOLS, NURSING SCHOOLS, and so on.

Here’s a published paper regarding the advocating of a SHARIA-COMPLIANT MEDICAL SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA. IT ADVOCATES USING THE “FUZZY DELPHI METHOD” TO ACHIEVE THIS. (See the opener by our good Gail Combs, above, regarding the DELPHI METHOD):

Scott Adams breaks down, Dumrats messiah message.

GA/FL

People have been experimenting with means and techniques for manipulating other people for centuries.

PR – Public Relations propaganda came along long before Goebbels and Hitler, but

Bernays was one of the early leaders, who interestingly had a relationship with Freud.

Sigmund Freud used psychology and manipulated people’s minds for his own purposes and agenda. Freud had a nasty dark mindset himself and betrayed his abused/molested women clients on many levels, accusing them of seducing or wanting to be molested. It is rumored that Freud abused his own daughter.  

Even today, psychologists and public relations and advertising firms – as well as the print/broadcast/social media use ’empirically proven psychological heuristics’ (extensively tested methods) to tailor their wording of their messages in order to influence the public to buy, believe, do the will of their clients and paymasters. 

Thanks to Saul Alinsky and others, we now have the practice of using words and propaganda to inflame, label, ridicule, shame, isolate, silence dissent – that pervades our public life today.  

Then there is the ‘science’ of Neurolinguistics, which I’m not that familiar to discuss, but have read the effects are similar.

We have also read about MK Ultra experiments on people by our own government agencies.

Color Revolutions are partly propaganda campaigns.

As on January 6, we know that people can be trained and put in place to control and influence crowds, to agitate, incite and escalate violence, and to incriminate individuals. False Flag actions are easily achieved by these methods.

Truth is clouded and obscured and the people become pawns and victims, when these mind control and manipulation methods, lies and agendas are activated.

GA/FL

I’d love to see more on this topic.

I’ve been very concerned (outraged, horrified) about the way groomers have distorted, disoriented, derailed identity development, and actually stolen the identities of children and vulnerable adults.

Mind control and related agendas are the worst of evils in their ability to damage human beings.

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 Wednesday, July 16, 2025

“From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.” 

Psalms 113:3 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 113

An exhortation to praise God.

– God has praise from his own people. They have most reason to praise him; for those who attend him as his servants, know him best, and receive most of his favours, and it is easy, pleasant work to speak well of their Master. God’s name ought to be praised in every place, from east to west. Within this wide space the Lord’s name is to be praised; it ought to be so, though it is not. Ere long it will be, when all nations shall come and worship before him. God is exalted above all blessing and praise. We must therefore say, with holy admiration, Who is like unto the Lord our God? How condescending in him to behold the things in the earth! And what amazing condescension was it for the Son of God to come from heaven to earth, and take our nature upon him, that he might seek and save those that were lost! How vast his love in taking upon him the nature of man, to ransom guilty souls! God sometimes makes glorious his own wisdom and power, when, having some great work to do, he employs those least likely, and least thought of for it by themselves or others. The apostles were sent from fishing to be fishers of men. And this is God’s constant method in his kingdom of grace. He takes men, by nature beggars, and even traitors, to be his favourites, his children, kings and priests unto him; and numbers them with the princes of his chosen people. He gives us all our comforts, which are generally the more welcome when long delayed, and no longer expected. Let us pray that those lands which are yet barren, may speedily become fruitful, and produce many converts to join in praising the Lord.

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.

Ring – Ring your Hand bells and raise;
Your voice to His Honor and Glory be;
Your ringtone – a joyful noise – artfully!

With thanksgiving, let your sweet song begin;
With gratefulness, thank Him for peace within;
In Him, through Him, and with Him, we thrive;
Keep His commandments – Keep hope alive!

Victoriously – Jesus conquered death;           
He suffered and bled until his last breath;
Praise Him – Oh, Praise Him – thank Him in song;
For without His gift – we would not belong!

It is said when we sing – then, twice we pray;
Double the praise – sing a new song today;
Raise up your voice – in Psalms praise His name;
Jesus is Lord – let your voice proclaim!

Sing unto the Lord – a new song today;
Rejoice in His blessings a brand new way;
When we give Honor and Glory to Him;
Our hearts fill with joy – right up to the brim!

Trump Tariffs spurred inflation in June. With a graph that shows some ups and downs with June 24 and June 25 both at about the same level (at least to the non-TDS eye.) But it IS slightly up from a couple recent dips, so of course it must have been those pesky tariffs!

Doctor Reveals What COVID Vaccines Do to the Lungs in Just One Week
During his testimony, he revealed COVID boosters AGE lung capacity in athletes by “five to ten YEARS in just ONE WEEK.”

For Dr. Sullivan, the damage was much worse. He says his lung capacity was slashed by HALF after taking the COVID shots the government recommended.

After a period of being unsure if the damage was in his head or not, Dr. Sullivan was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, a dangerous condition that elevates blood pressure and forces the heart to work much harder to pump blood to the lungs.

This is exactly what the original Wuhan bioweapon did to me! I felt like my lungs aged 5-10 years!

By not making sure that the mRNA vaccines remained in the arm muscle, people suffered systemic damage by the vaccines. This is the most basic science of all – “where is the drug going?” That all the world’s science refused to engage this question is a SCANDAL – and that all the world’s media LIED ABOUT THIS – then refused to cover the fact that they had just shilled a lie – even worse.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Wednesday! Today’s the very last post before the Childers family hauls its over-stuffed suitcases to curbside check-in, and then our traveling C&C season begins. Hang on tight. Today’s terrific roundup includes: TACO gets a new definition as Trump ropes more Russiahawk dopes with new threats — but are they? Nobody knows; administration’s rhetoric coupled with quiet State Department actions that tell a whole different story; new C&C Army orders that you’ll love trail a terrific bill filed by Thomas Massie to vaccinate the scourge called the PREP Act; Schiff has mortage problems and corporate media circles the wagons around the pop-eyed Senator; and another massive Trump move as DOJ pulls the plug on criminal investigations into election betting sites.

WARRIOR WEDNESDAY – DEDICATED TO STEVIE

comment image

THE LIFE OF A PRAYER WARRIOR

Bet you think it is easy
With a direct line to God
Not at all easy peasy
But still to be awed

It takes patience and endurance
Quick reaction and attention
Plus a lot of perseverance
To accomplish Angel ascension

Sometimes when one is working
A thought – it comes to mind
Someone needs a little perking
Or a moment to unwind

It could be they need assistance
Throughout your busy day
You pull out your persistence
And send them on their way

There are the sick and suffering
When left alone they cry
Who need a little buffering
When all they do is sigh

Many are the needs of all who seek
The help of our Lord and Savior
Their situation is often bleak
From God they frequently waiver

At times the warrior is awakened
In the middle of the night
A call from one forsaken
Stirs up the soul to flight 

It is a privilege and an honor
To serve in this appointment
For Divine is the calling on her
A salve to soothe – an anointment

So if it just might move you
Think of the Prayer Warrior
Who is faithful through and through
Be he local or a foreigner

Thank God he is steadfast
In caring for your needs
The territory it is so vast
For God’s chosen he intercedes!

Yours Truly is going to say something that might sound “inconvenient”, but, IMO, it now needs to be said:

Any MD physician or DO physician (osteopathic physician), ESPECIALLY MD or DO physicians who are part of ESTABLISHMENT MEDICINE, INCLUDING the FDA, the CDC, the AMA, etc. —
AND any personnel of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), — who are STILL “recommending”, approving, granting EUAs to, funding research into “the newest version of”, and/or are “implementing” the “evidence-based vaccination” of COVID-19 “vaccines” via the “new FDA” —
AND, any employee of a state, county, city, or local health department who are STILL “recommending” the COVID-19 “vaccines”, and/or are still administering them —
AND, any employee of the Veterans Administration and/or the United States military who are still “recommending” the COVID-19 “vaccines”, and/or still administering them —
AND, any agency of the United States government (such as the FAA) that is still “recommending” and/or “mandating” that employees take COVID-19 “vaccines” —
AND, any pharmacist, Physician Assistant, RN, Nurse Practitioner, etc., who are still “recommending” the COVID-19 “vaccines”, and/or are still administering them —

ARE, EVERY ONE OF THEM, WORKING TO FURTHER THE DEPOPULATION AGENDA.

One:

Yours Truly: Ed Dowd again brings the truth. AND, the figures that he gives ARE JUST FROM THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 “VACCINES.”

Two: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2025/02/15/medical-doctor-reveals-covid-boosters-age-lung-capacity-in-athletes-by-five-to-ten-years-in-just-one-week/
Yours Truly: It is DR. ROBERT SULLIVAN, a physician who took the COVID-19 shots, and WHO WAS LATER DIAGNOSED WITH PULMONARY HYPERTENSION THAT HAS DESTROYED 50% OF HIS LUNG CAPACITY; and, who then undertook to study what the “vaccines” do to the lungs of athletes, who came to the conclusion stated in the title of the URL link above. This type of damage is irreversible.

Think about these:

The COVID-19 “vaccines” that were taken by a MEDICAL DOCTOR have destroyed 50% of his lung capacity.
The COVID-19 “vaccines” WILL DESTROY lung capacity in athletes.

NOW, what about the MILLIONS of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who are NOT athletes?
The SAME TYPES OF DAMAGE happens to THEIR lungs.
The SAME TYPES OF DAMAGE WILL DESTROY their lung capacity in some percentage.

What about non-athletes who are COVID-19 “vaccinated” and had PREVIOUSLY-DIAGNOSED lung issues? These issues WILL BE AGGRAVATED by the “vaccines.”

What about COVID-19 “vaccinated” non-athletes WHO ARE UNDER AGE 21? THEIR lungs capacity will be damaged.

What about COVID-19 “vaccinated” non-athletes WHO ARE PROFESSIONALS IN FIELDS THAT USE LOTS OF LUNG CAPACITY — SUCH AS, SINGERS OR ORCHESTRA PLAYERS? THEIR lung capacity WILL GET compromised.

What about UNBORN BABIES IN THE WOMBS OF COVID-19 “VACCINATED” EXPECTANT MOTHERS? THEIR immature, developing lungs WILL BE DAMAGED. (THINK ABOUT THAT, DR. MARTIN MAKARY.)

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
Yours Truly: Here is Slide 12 from the article:

AND, the above DOES NOT INCLUDE lung damage from a COVID-19 virus itself infection; NOR DOES IT INCLUDE lung damage in non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons because of COVID-19 “vaccine” SHEDDING onto them.

Spot on.

Slow Guy is spring loaded to dump on anyone pushing Covid Jabs. To a lesser extent, most every Jab.

But Covid Jabs have proven to be a depop tool. Nothing else explains it. Covid Jabs are Not safe, Not effective, kill, handicap and injure millions, as you’ve provided above.

Have posted near identical comments many times here QTree.

I have a cold rage about everything Covidiot.

Covid Jabs Are 100%, A Crime Against Humanity.

I truly cannot understand why the EUAs have not been pulled. Then, Covid Jabs banned.

  • RFK Jr must truly know the problem is real AND yet, plays the Bureaucrat administrative game.
PAVACA

Thank you.
Yours Truly did not specifically mention HHS Secretary Kennedy, Jr., above.

However, the HHS Secretary in the “Biden administration”, XAVIER BECERRA, is ALSO an attorney.

And Becerra had NO PROBLEM with issuing “extensions” of the PREP Act regarding “COVID-19 medical countermeasures”, along with other diktats.

IMO, the situation with Sec. Kennedy, Jr., is that he would like to put the brakes on the whole COVID-19 nightmare in the United States. But he can’t — he’s hemmed in all sides by people like DR. MARTIN MAKARY (current FDA Commissioner), who are COVID-19 “vaccine” fanatics; or, who are “Biden era holdovers” at various levels in the FDA; or, who are “COVID-19 vaccine true believers”; or, are “possible underminer moles” like SUSAN MONAREZ, PhD (current Acting Director of the CDC.)

There are ALSO the “sweetheart contract deals” and “confidential agreements” between certain entities and the FDA / HHS — like the ones that Moderna has with the NIAID. Yours Truly blows the lid off regarding the “coziness” between the NIAID and Moderna in this week’s Health Friday offering.

Thank you.
Here’s the deal:
Yours Truly had one live birth (the now-MD son.)
Yours Truly also had two other pregnancies that miscarried.
The now-MD son has taken at least three COVID-19 “vaccine” shots.
The now-MD son has had COVID-19 infections at least once since getting “vaccinated.” These infections affected his lungs.
I have warned him several times, in writing (with citations), in person, and with hard copies of materials that I printed out, about the dangers of these “vaccines.” It appears that very little or none of the evidence that I gave him have led him to change his thinking about these injectables. I can only hope that at some point, he will realize some glimmer of the truth.

Trump’s decision is my wish.

Trump has done nothing, for me to question his judgement.

TheseTruths

His frustration is palpable and well stated.

This tack is interesting. Instead of trying to appease people, he’s standing strong and saying “You’re not with me.” He is cutting critics off, which keeps them from being able to say they’re supporters while constantly excoriating him. He has the courage and confidence to draw a line in the sand instead of pandering to people.

para59r

So what does this mean to the “the facade theory”? You know, the one where Trump wants the files released but says he doesn’t so everyone will demand them to be released. I’d say again that Trump is more than likely not in the files, so what exactly would he be worried about? Or is this just to ratchet up the noise to get them released faster when all the Lefties are already clamoring now for their release?

I guess we go to the “they inserted stuff into the files” theory then?

or

It’s to protect Israel, MI6 and the CIA?

TheseTruths

So what does this mean to the “the facade theory”? You know, the one where Trump wants the files released but says he doesn’t so everyone will demand them to be released.

It might mean it’s 🐂💩. I have never believed that theory. I think what Pres. Trump is saying is exactly what he means.

I’d say again that Trump is more than likely not in the files, so what exactly would he be worried about?

If we take him at his word, he is not worried about anything related to the files except for the attention that is being diverted from his agenda.

Or is this just to ratchet up the noise to get them released faster when all the Lefties are already clamoring now for their release?

I don’t understand why people come up with theories that have no basis in anything that Pres. Trump is saying, decide they are true, and try to make everything conform to them.

I guess we go to the “they inserted stuff into the files” theory then?

If Pres. Trump has said they inserted things (but I don’t remember his saying it in those words) or that bad actors made up or wrote some of the things, why not believe him? Why call it a theory?

It’s to protect Israel, MI6 and the CIA?

People have their own theories about Israel (*cough*), but why would Pres. Trump be protecting the C_A? It’s as if Trump just came on the scene and no one knows who he is or how he operates. AG Bondi is going after one of the former heads of the C_A (John Brennan), so how does it make sense to think Trump is protecting them?

I have said that I don’t understand why people are making things up and running with them. Here’s my own speculation: Whatever information the current DOJ has on Epstein will be appropriately investigated and might already have been used to further their investigations into human trafficking. It’s possible that some of the people involved with Epstein have been investigated, or are being investigated.

yes we have a lot of this in CA too. It is a gd mess here.

A California couple have been accused of running a suspected baby surrogate-fueled human trafficking ring that involved at least 21 children.Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38, were arrested in May for felony child endangerment after cops descended on their $4.1 million home in Arcadia, initially responding to reports of a two-month-old suffering a traumatic head injury. Inside, they found the couple’s huge brood of children which included 17 toddlers aged three or under.  A search warrant on the home reportedly revealed that they were caring for 15 children inside, aged between two months and 13-years-old. Detectives said six other children had also been moved to other homes. All 21 children were taken into the custody of Department of Children and Family Services. Xuan and Zhang were later released and have not been officially charged. Cops also issued an arrest warrant for their nanny Chunmei Li, 56. Investigators said security cameras inside the home allegedly revealed Li was abusing the children, while questions remain over why Xuan and Zhang bore so many children through surrogacy. Although having dozens of children through surrogates is not illegal, officials said they are investigating the startling find inside the home. Kallie Fell, executive director of the nonprofit Center of Bioethics and Culture, told ABC7 that while the couple may not have broken the law by having so many surrogate children, the situation ‘smells of trafficking.’

Where children’s hearts and minds do roam.
With gentle hands, she shapes their way,
To guide them true from day to day.
 
She teaches letters, sums, and lore,
At kitchen table, evermore.
Through books and chalk, she lights their spark,
Their moral path she helps to mark.
 
The house she keeps is warm and bright,
With meals prepared from morn till night.
Clean linens folded, floors are swept,
A haven where sweet peace is kept.
 
For husbands, she’s a constant stay,
His burdens eased along the way.
Her counsel wise, her love sincere,
A partner strong through joy and tear.

Netanyahu needs war to appease coalition, disrupt corruption trialIsrael’s Prime Minister Netanyahu is “infatuated” with his wartime role and “wants to maintain and perpetuate an atmosphere of war” for his political survival, an analyst says.
“There’s Gaza, there’s no ceasefire, there’s Iran… Now there is Syria in the background,” said columnist and former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas.
Fighting a war on many fronts also helps appease far-right members of his coalition and adds another disruption to his ongoing corruption trial.
“Today he was testifying and asked the judges, which they agreed to, to suspend the trial because he had important national security issues to deal with,” Pinkas told Al Jazeera.

Israeli air strikes, shelling continue across besieged GazaThe Israeli military continues to attack Gaza from the north to the south of the besieged Palestinian enclave.
As we reported earlier, at least 21 aid seekers were killed while searching for food. Here are some of the other attacks:

  • A child was killed and several other Palestinians injured as a result of Israeli shelling of the Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza.
  • Three people died in an Israeli air strike near the al-Shuhada School, north of Deir el-Balah, also in central Gaza.
  • Two Palestinians were killed and others injured in Israeli bombardment of Jabalia in the north of the Gaza Strip.
  • Israeli bombing of displaced people’s tents in the al-Mawasi camp in Gaza’s south resulted in the deaths of nine Palestinians.
  • comment image

    Updated.
    More than 80 people killed in Israeli attacks across GazaSince dawn, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 81 people including 25 aid seekers, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.
    Since the GHF started operating in the enclave in late May, at least 875 people have been killed trying to get food, according to the United Nations, which said on Tuesday that 674 of these deaths occurred “in the vicinity of GHF sites”.
    The Health Ministry reported since the war on Gaza began in 2023, Israeli attacks have killed 58,573 people and wounded 139,607 others.

    WATCH: Severe malnutrition for 1 in 10 Gaza children

  • The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says one in 10 children under the age of five screened at its clinics in Gaza suffer from severe malnutrition.

‘Idea of a humanitarian camp is totally unbearable and unpractical’Ehud Olmert, the former Israeli prime minister from 2006-09, has clarified his comments on the planned forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into a small zone in southern Gaza.
“I said some will try to interpret it [as a concentration camp]. It’s bad, it shouldn’t be done. But it’s not a concentration camp, and it’s not a genocide. It’s just stupid, reckless, irresponsible and something that may amount to a crime, which should be prevented,” Olmert told Al Jazeera.
“And I hope my voice and the voices of many Israelis will succeed to stop it. The idea of a ‘humanitarian camp’ is totally unbearable and impractical. It won’t help to provide the humanitarian needs of the population,” he added.
“The idea that you can deport 600,000 people from where they’re supposed to live in the north part of Gaza into the south and then keep them segregated in an area that will be walled and they won’t have a chance to move around is just totally unacceptable.”

I am nothing short of Israel weary.

This. For me it’s much like Ukraine/Russia. There is no way for me to know who is telling the truth, and I don’t see any reason to follow the day-to-day events.

If there is an effort to make people see Israel in a negative light, even that is subject to opinions, reporting that could be either true or not, and bias. I’m well aware that Israel has an outsized influence on Congress. I don’t know what can be done about it, and I have to trust that this administration is doing what it can. In no way do I think that Pres. Trump is pandering to Israel for the sake of it.

Your might be right. People yammering about day to day events led to the Great Deluge in both the Sumerian and Babylonian Flood Myths.

Trump is trying to checkmate Israel into stopping the constant attacks on someone, anyone.

BREAKING: Trump Blames Democrats for “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” – “My PAST Supporters have Bought into this ‘Bullsh*t,’ Hook, Line, and Sinker… I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!”
President Trump released a statement on Wednesday morning, labeling the Epstrin files the Democrats’ “new SCAM” and condemning his own supporters for talking about the Epstein case.

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue.

Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.

Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ Anthony Bernal takes the Fifth in House GOP probe of Biden health cover-up

Jill Biden’s “work husband” Anthony Bernal became the second former White House aide to take the Fifth Amendment when hauled before a congressional committee Wednesday to answer questions about the 46th president’s cognitive decline.

Bernal, like Joe Biden’s former personal physician Kevin O’Connor, invoked his right against self-incrimination and departed without taking reporter questions.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said he only got to ask two questions of the Biden family confidant: “Was Joe Biden fit to exercise the duties of the president?” and “Did any unelected official or family member execute the duties of the presidency?”

“I think that the American people are concerned,” Comer added. “They’re concerned that there were people making decisions in the White House that were not only unelected but no one to this day knows who they were.”

“This is a historic scandal and Americans demand transparency and accountability,” the chairman said in a subsequent statement.

O’Connor, who served as Biden’s doctor during his vice presidency and presidency, took the Fifth last Friday when asked if he was ever told to “lie about the president’s health” or believed the president was “unfit to execute his duties.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), a member of the Oversight panel, has maintained that Biden “completely understood what was going on” and “may get fumbled up by words, but that’s not anything new and it’s not anything that came with age.”

But Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said Bernal’s hasty retreat implicates him in “corruption at the highest level.”

“If you cannot, say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden’s capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration,” Donalds told reporters.

“And if he was not in charge of his administration, then every order, every bill that was signed, every memorandum, as far as I’m concerned, are null and void.”

“As far as I’m concerned” Biden’s signings are null and void. But is that reality? People who keep saying this need to get solid legal opinions and state them instead. Since they’re not doing that, the expectations of the public will be that all of Biden’s executive orders, pardons, and other WH business will be void. That will become “fact” in the eyes of the public, and when it doesn’t happen, they will throw a fit and place blame.

Donalds, who is running for governor of Florida next year, added that Jill Biden herself should “come in here and answer questions” after her deputy declined to do so.

“I think [former Vice President] Kamala Harris [also] needs to come in and tell us what she knew and when she knew it,” the congressman also threatened.

Comer noted that his panel would continue with transcribed interviews and depositions of key Biden White House aides to determine the scale of the purported cover-up of the president’s mental decline, as well as potential “illegal use of the autopen” to grant pardons.

Biden’s deputy chief of staff, Annie Tomasini, requested through her lawyer to be handed a subpoena in order to testify this Friday, making her the fifth aide to face questioning from lawmakers and staff.

Neera Tanden, a senior adviser who became director of the Domestic Policy Counsel, and Ashley Williams, deputy director of Oval Office operations, sat for transcribed interviews without taking the Fifth before the brief depositions with Brenal and O’Connor.

Asked whether there was an effort in the White House to cover up Biden’s cognitive decline, Tanden told reporters after her June 24 interview: “Absolutely not.”

Biden “admitted he didn’t know everything, he didn’t sign off on every individual pardon,” Comer added, referencing the ex-commander in chief’s recent interview with The New York Times.

“I think the possibility is very good that we’ll be asking members of the family to come in.”

The family would probably take the Fifth as well.

kalbokalbs

DOJ must determine if he AutoPen was incorrectly used. (It was.) Making many, most “pardons” invalid.

Thinking immunity may be given to a few, two or more to demand honest testimony.
Perhaps first up, FauXi indictment…

Dershowitz on Epstein: No ‘Client List,’ but Jailers May Have Assisted Suicide
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/16/dershowitz-on-epstein-no-client-list-but-jailers-may-have-assisted-suicide/

Gudthots

Isn’t assisted suicide another name for murder?

TheseTruths

It’s legal in some states. In a murder there is an unwilling victim. In assisted suicide, there is a “client,” for want of a more accurate term, who is willing and cooperative.

Gudthots

Ethically and morally it is the same a murder.
Remember when an aid “helped” King Saul to end his life?
David gave him the same punishment as a murderer.

I agree. I don’t support it in any way. I was saying that it’s possible that, depending on state laws, someone who did that would not be prosecuted.

Dersh is still upset that the one girl lied about having sex with her and his name was cleared. He wants all the other people also have to fight and proof innocence just as he had too. I do believe somethings were made up because most of the time the girls had no clue who they had sex with since many were not Americans. It is a mess it is hard to proof if one is guilty or not on both sites.
I think proof has been long destroyed. One does not kill a guy and hangs on to proof . Of course one should believe the young girls but they can make a mistake as they did with Dersh. It took years for him to clear his name at a high cost.

https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/no-client-list-jeffrey-epstein-former-lawyer/

(emphasis mine)

• Dershowitz helped secure a plea deal for Epstein in his 2008 sex crimes case

• He told ‘CUOMO’ that there is no such thing as a client list

• Dershowitz also rebuked several other conspiracy theories

(NewsNation) — Jeffrey Epstein’s former attorney told “CUOMO” there is no such thing as an Epstein “client list.”

Alan Dershowitz, who previously said he knows the names in the Epstein files, also doesn’t believe the government is hiding information about the investigation.

“There is no client list and never has been a client list,” Dershowitz told NewsNation. “A client list suggests that Jeffrey Epstein made a list of people to whom he trafficked women. What there is is a redacted FBI affidavit from accusers.

There are several of them from accusers that accuse Jeffrey, that accuse various people of having improper sex, and that has been redacted. The names of the people accused have been blacked out.”

Dershowitz helped secure a plea deal in 2008 for Epstein, who pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution. Epstein avoided a possible life sentence and served 13 months in a work-release program.

As for the names in redacted files, Dershowitz says they are not world leaders like many believers of the conspiracies think. 

“Because I was the lawyer and I did all the investigations, I know who all these people are. I could figure out, based on everything that I saw, who Mr. X is, Mr. Y is and Mr. Z,” he said.

“I can tell you right now, none of them are public figures who are currently in office. Some of them were previously in office. Some of them are dead, but there is no client list.

Dershowitz said the redactions could be removed through the courts and insisted it is not the Trump administration suppressing information but two Manhattan judges who are trying to protect accusers.

“The judges have issued orders — which is why I can’t disclose things I’d love to disclose — saying that you can’t disclose this information,” he said.

“But Pam Bondi and the Justice Department and Donald Trump are not responsible for that. I don’t know of any information that they could disclose that they haven’t disclosed. Maybe there is some but I’m simply not aware of it.

“I think it’s important to place the blame where the blame deserves to be placed.”

He went on to say if all the redacted files were released, “you would be shocked how few names are there that haven’t already been disclosed.

Dershowitz also rebuked theories of Epstein having videotapes of prominent people in illegal or compromising sexual interactions.

“There is a videotape, maybe several videotapes. … Epstein was robbed by one of his employees of money and of a licensed gun, and he called the Palm Beach police, and they installed video cameras, not in the bedrooms, but in the living room,” he said.

“And those video cameras recorded some people, but there’s no sexual allegations there, so there’s nothing to that.

He also addressed Tucker Carlson’s claim that Epstein was a Mossad intelligence agent, calling it “absurd.

“I asked him about everything, including whether he had any contacts with intelligence agencies,” Dershowitz said. 

“If he had, he would have been dying to tell me that, because I could have used that to get him a better deal. If he had worked with the Mossad or the CIA, that would have been golden for me. … I can tell you with absolute certainty he had no connections to Mossad.”

As for the notion that Epstein was murdered and did not kill himself, Dershowitz rejected that theory but said he believes it was an assisted suicide. 

“It was not a suicide that he could have committed alone. I think the jailers had something to do with his cellmate being dismissed, with the cameras being turned off,” he said.

“So there are things that can be hidden, but there’s no smoking gun here, and there’s no fault on the part of this administration, as far as I can tell.”

Gudthots

Why should we believe the word of Dershowitz? Has he done anything to gain our total trust on this?

TheseTruths

I ascribe some credibility to Dershowitz because I’ve seen him parse political issues fairly, without partisanship, many times. He is a Democrat, but he has supported Pres. Trump when the Left was using lawfare against him. He states the law as it is, not in ways to be used against someone unfairly.

That said, of course I don’t know whether he is being truthful on this issue. But given the public’s assumptions about things and then outrage when they are proved or alleged to be false, I think it wise to pay attention and file the info away as being possible unless and until it is disproven.

It is a “known fact” that Epstein was a Mossad agent. Dershowitz says the opposite. He gives a good reason to believe him: that it would have helped him defend Epstein if he had been an intelligence asset. We’ll have to see how things play out, but I’m not going to assume Dershowitz is lying so some narrative can continue.

Gudthots

Fair enough.

RedLegLeader68

Why?

Dersch has helped nothing, from any angle.

Last week, Dersch had seen a list, but can’t talk.

Of course, YMMV.

Louisiana officials charged in immigration fraud and money laundering scheme

Federal prosecutors have unsealed a sweeping indictment against five individuals, including current and former Louisiana law enforcement officers, accused of orchestrating a years-long scheme to exploit the U.S. immigration system for personal profit.

Acting U.S. Attorney Alexander Van Hook announced Wednesday that the charges are part of “Operation Take Back America.” The 62-count indictment includes allegations of conspiracy, bribery, mail fraud, immigration fraud, visa fraud, and money laundering…

According to the 21-page indictment, the alleged conspiracy spanned at least a decade, beginning as early as 2015 and continuing through July 2025.

Investigators say the group conspired to fraudulently obtain hundreds of U-Visas, special non-immigrant visas reserved for victims or witnesses of serious crimes who assist law enforcement…

Prosecutors allege that businessman Chandrakant Patel orchestrated the scheme by collecting payments from foreign nationals and coordinating with law enforcement officers across multiple Louisiana jurisdictions to create fraudulent U-Visas…

According to the indictment, Patel collected money from foreign nationals who were not actually victims or witnesses of crimes. Patel allegedly paid law enforcement officers $5,000 per fake report in exchange for official documentation falsely claiming these individuals were crime victims.

Van Hook says hundreds of names were used and U-Visas approved.

The indictment lists more than 50 acts, detailing how Oakdale Police Chief Chad Doyle, City Marshal Michael Slaney, Forest Hill Police Chief Chad Dixon, and former Glenmora Police Chief Tibo Onishea each filed false police reports to support U-Visa applications. These reports falsely claimed that specific individuals were victims of armed robberies that, prosecutors say, never occurred.

The fraudulent reports, signed by police officers, allowed the foreign nationals and their family members to remain in the United States under false pretenses…

The current and former police chiefs are from small central Louisiana municipalities that are near each other. They’re in a part of the state that is home to multiple immigration detention facilities. Although Louisiana doesn’t share a border with a foreign country, there are nine ICE detention facilities in the state — holding nearly 7,000 people.

The false police reports included fabricated case numbers, fake narratives, and staged details about the use of weapons or threats to lend credibility to the claims. The indictment also notes that the conspirators took steps to launder the money earned through the scheme, using it to purchase material goods, real estate, vehicles, and cover personal expenses…

If convicted, the defendants face years in federal prison and possible financial penalties for conspiracy, visa fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.

The Farmer’s Wife

She rises early, greets the dawn,
Her work begins, it carries on.
With steady hands she tends the home,
Where love and warmth in hearths do roam.

She cooks the meals with practiced care,
Fresh bread and stew, their scents fill air.
From garden patch she pulls the yield,
Tomatoes, beans, from fertile field.

Her children dressed, their faces bright,
She teaches them from morn till night.
With gentle words, she shapes their ways,
Guides tiny hearts through busy days.

In canning jars, she stores the fruits,
Preserves the harvest, summer’s roots.
Her needle mends the worn-out seams,
She stitches love in quiet dreams.

When fields demand, she’s by his side,
Helps drive the tractor, shares the ride.
Through dust and heat, she’ll lend her hand,
To tend the crops, to work the land.

She trusts in God through drought and rain,
Her faith a light through joy and pain.
His rainbow arcs, His promise sure,
She sees His grace in life so pure.

Her toil’s unseen, yet strong and true,
The farm’s heartbeat, its binding glue.
God bless the wife, whose work and prayer,
Uphold the home with love and care.

They MISSED. TWICE. Now they r gonna PAY. Plus whatcha think has been being looked at for the last 6 months? Contrary to now popular belief, I think Pam, Kash and Dan have been QUITE busy.

Remember the leaked memo and firestorm was released 2 DAYS before it was revealed Clapper, Comey, Brennan and OBAMA were being investigated for Russia hoax. THAT was the distraction.

Trump has been TRYING to tell us, but some wont listen, they bought the BS, hence TODAYS Trump lashing. THINK. Trump is in CONTROL. Things happen as HE directs them to. The Cabal tried to upend the timing, Trump is trying to say STAY the course. All good things to those that are patient.

These fools tried to bankrupt him, keep him from running, arrest and jail him, and finally KILL him, TWICE, Do you REALLY think he was EVER going to let them get away with it?

This will not be an ORDINARY swampy SC. This will be old Testament fire and brimstone, because it HAS TO BE.

Trump MUST get them all, at LEAST the architects, and he has LIMITED time to do it.

If he doesnt get them they WILL get him, his business, his family, his friends, and ALL of us.

When she was in the 3rd grade, I remember pulling into the parking lot of the post office. Very busy, very rainy, no parking spots. I gave her the money and told her to run in and buy the stamps that I needed. She said, “I can’t!” And I said, “Why not?” And she said, “Because I’m deaf.” Then I said, “Oh, do you think deaf people can’t buy stamps?” And after that incident, I never remember her ever shying away from an uncomfortable task again.

Something to keep in mind, while reading or listening to X influencers. Well, any media outlet I spose.

Publias.

To those of you who do not participate in X “Creator Revenue Sharing,” allow me to shed some light, because I think it’s important everybody understand how this works.

First of all, please know that I do not do this for money, as it has always been a hobby and I would do what I do even if X paid me nothing. But I’m not going to lie, the money is nice and I’ll always take free money. But I don’t let it control me.

I have a little less than 230,000 followers, and on any given month X will pay me somewhere between $2,200 and $6,000.

So I got that going for me, which is nice. But if I got $0, I’d be OK as I have a well-paying IRL job.

Now consider X “influencers” with millions of followers. Do the math. There is a reason they do it full-time.

Publias entire X, within spolier.

Now consider X “influencers” with millions of followers. Do the math. There is a reason they do it full-time.

Hold that thought.

New set of facts: I only post on stuff I know about, which is mostly politics, military/war, legal issues in my practice area and rando pop culture commentary. When there is big news in those areas, I make more money. When the news cycle is slow, the money dries up. For me at least. For example, at the height of the Presidential campaign I was raking in the dough. When big news happens, I get a bump—the Iran bombing for example saw a spike in my payouts.

But when the news cycle is slow, I get bupkis.

Now consider those “influencers”who do this full-time and have millions of followers instead of just 230,000. When the news cycle is slow, their income goes way down by a very significant amount.

So what do they do? They use that massive follower base to CREATE news stories and controversies. They cannot allow the news cycle to ever get sedate, so when things get slow they fabricate controversy, and they don’t care who gets hurt by it—they need the clicks like a junkie needs heroin.

Please consider these facts the next time one of your beloved “MAGA Influencers” ragebaits you.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TheseTruths

Thanks for posting that. I had never understood how it works. So those whom people are following are making money off of them. The more the influencers feed the public what it wants to hear, the more money they make.

I appreciate Publius’s transparency in this. He confirms what I have said, that they are feeding the public’s outrage and even leading people into more outrage.

Brings a new meaning to, Clickbait. ($)

Yea, I, we, hopefully many, learned a bit also.

“So those whom people are following are making money off of them.”

_______________

Same as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSLSD, literally everyone.

.

“The more the influencers feed the public what it wants to hear, the more money they make.”

_______________

Only if they have a crystal ball, and can predict what the public wants to hear.

Or take the other side, suppose it was 9/11/01, the towers just fell, and the public wants to know what in the world is happening.

Should news outlets not report it, because they don’t want to feed the public what it wants to hear, because the boost in ratings would mean they make more money from advertisers?

.

“I appreciate Publius’s transparency in this. He confirms what I have said, that they are feeding the public’s outrage and even leading people into more outrage.”

_______________

He is confirming something, but it what it appears to be confirming is confirmation bias.

Each new piece of information seems to confirm what you already believe is happening, in order to discredit it, because you don’t like it.

The expression “If it bleeds, it leads” was not invented for the Epstein case, it has been around for a long time, since the 1890s, so even before “Mass Line” theory 👍

As Publius clearly stated, influencers’ income fluctuates based on the number of clicks they get. That is not true for the salaries of those in the mainstream media.

I didn’t mention predicting what the public wants to hear. This is about keeping public angst going over hot topics, some of which have been going on for years. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to know that the public wants mystery, scandal, controversy, outrage, and continued parsing of big news stories. Everyone knows that, and influencers can leverage that to their advantage.

He is confirming something, but what it appears to be confirming is confirmation bias.

No, he is confirming what I said, which is perfectly true in some, and possibly many, cases: “that they are feeding the public’s outrage and even leading people into more outrage.” I have observed it for years in different subjects, not just politics, but didn’t know precisely why it was happening, except to get attention. Now I see that money is involved, and it makes a lot of sense.

Agreed, but the income to the news company fluctuates based on the ratings (number of viewers) they get.

Gudthots

We USED TO think that before we learned that the news companies income all comes from big pharma and they don’t really care about ratings.

Sperry: Secret Meeting Opens Document Floodgates on Trump-Russia Hoax

The floodgates holding back long-buried classified documents exposing government efforts to claim Donald Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to manipulate the 2016 U.S. presidential election might finally be opening.

Trump administration officials held an urgent meeting Sunday to discuss “new information on Russiagate,” which they might use to build a criminal conspiracy case against Obama and Biden administration political appointees who allegedly weaponized the government against Trump, two Trump administration officials told RealClearInvestigations.

The documents are said to contain long-classified information, including a secret 200-page congressional audit that reveals details about how an intelligence community assessment on Russia ordered by President Obama after the 2016 election was framed in a way that portrayed Trump as being beholden to the Kremlin.

Sources told RCI that emails and other records tying the CIA’s controversial drafting of the Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] to the FBI’s discredited “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation targeting Trump could be released as part of an Office of the Director of National Intelligence report as early as Thursday. The White House was briefed on the development Tuesday, the sources said.

Participants in the Sunday meeting involving intelligence officials and their Department of Justice counterparts also discussed declassifying investigative notes and depositions taken by Special Counsel John Durham during his probe of the CIA’s and FBI’s handling of the ICA, which relied in part on an anti-Trump dossier financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The information could strengthen a criminal case against Obama’s top intelligence officers, including former CIA Director John Brennan, who allegedly gave false testimony to Congress about their role in using the dossier in the ICA, according to the officials who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive information. Although the five-year statute of limitations on perjury means much of the testimony given about the ICA cannot be prosecuted, officials could still be charged with a conspiracy to commit perjury.

Sources said the meeting, which was arranged by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, was held in a secure room known as a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). The meeting also focused on the release of a highly restricted appendix to Durham’s final report that details intelligence Brennan intercepted exposing a plan by the Clinton campaign in July 2016 to stir up an election scandal involving Trump and Russia to distract from her email investigation. Instead of investigating the Clinton plot, the FBI opened an investigation into Trump and his campaign advisers for allegedly colluding with Russia.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/new-democrat-senator-tina-smith-hospitalized/

Minnesota Democratic Senator Tina Smith has been admitted to a hospital after falling ill today and will not be able to help Democrats try to block tonight’s recession package vote…

She also hopes to be back in the near future.

No details were given regarding Smith’s illness…

Smith being out of work means Republicans will have a bit more margin of error and will not have to rely on Vice-Presiden JD Vance to break a tie vote like he did last night.

It would help if the story included something about what is being voted on. Also, is it a recession package or a rescission package?

I thought so too, Singing. It was such a nice photo that I did an image search to see if it was taken elsewhere and a scam in the story where I saw it. I did not find another or even similar image online. hehe… One never knows how well they check.

So, I was thinking, were the cherries ripe?

According to the recordings of the pilot and co-pilot conversation recovered from the black boxes, it was the older man, the senior Pilot who was scheduled to retire in just a few more flights, to take care of his 90+ year old father, who shut off the fuel control switches.

If I remember correctly from a day or two ago, it was the younger co-pilot who was actually in control of the plane during take off, and the older pilot was observing.

Apparently the older pilot hit the cut-off switches, and it was the younger co-pilot, controlling the plane during take off, who asked “Why did you cut-off?”

At which point the older senior pilot apparently lied, saying “I didn’t.”

I’m guessing that means it was the younger co-pilot who stayed in control of the plane, turned the fuel switches back to “ON”, and, as reported in another recent video, did what he could to maneuver the plane in the final seconds to a less densely populated area to crash.

.

Gudthots

Wow.

scott467

Yep, it now appears to have been the Christian pilot, the one who was buried in the Christian cemetery, who caused the crash.

Gudthots

Or said another way, it was the older, more experienced, but maybe health compromised by taking a jab pilot that acted like he had dementia.

scott467

It’s possible. I only pointed out the above because my initial suspicion was that it was the islamic pilot who suicided the whole plane.

It appears that I was wrong about that.

It looks like both pilots were Christians.

The senior pilot, Sumeet Sabharwal (born 1969) was buried at Sewri Christian Cemetery.

The younger co-pilot, Clive Kunder, was apparently also a Christian, according to Brave Browser A.I. search result.

But it says that Clive Kunder was also buried at Sewri Christian Cemetery, which seems like an unlikely coincidence, so the A.I. may be confusing information about the two pilots.

The A.I. search results said Clive Kunder was 32 years old and:

“Clive Kunder, the co-pilot of the ill-fated Air India flight that crashed in Ahmedabad, was not Muslim. According to reports, Kunder was a Christian, and his last rites were held at the Sewri Christian Cemetery. His family, including his parents, were also Christian, with his mother having previously worked as a cabin crew with Air India.”

And this A.I. search result:

“Clive Kunder: A young pilot with Mangaluru roots and a resident of Mumbai, Kunder was the first officer on the ill-fated Air India Flight AI171 that crashed into a residential area in Meghani Nagar, Ahmedabad. 

He had a commercial pilot license issued in 2020, valid until September 2025, and had clearances to fly various aircraft, including the Airbus A320 and Boeing 787. Kunder was two months away from his wedding and had recently started flying long-haul international flights.”
.

I wanted to try to set the record straight, but it is not easy, due to language barriers, political-correctness, and questionable A.I. search results.
