KMAG 20250910 OPEN TOPIC & The Epstein Gambit

Site rules stolen from our good friend PAVACA

I had written the rough draft of this post before I saw this. As usual Jeff Childers gets it!

Sept 6th — Speaker Johnson lets slip that President Trump may have been an FBI informant helping nail Epstein, threatening Democrats’ midterm political strategy… If Trump really was a formal FBI informant, there’s an official paper trail…Which raises an awful possibility for Democrats: what if he can prove it?

I understand the rage of people who want to see Epstein’s clients brought to justice. (I was raped at work.) However we need to step back and really LOOK at the situation. I agree with POTUS Trump. It is another Russia,Russia, Russia.

As Jeff noted yesterday during one salvo by the D-rats,

…When the “note” first appeared after a DOJ “leak,” Trump posted, “The supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE.” He has hinted that Biden’s DOJ put a lot of “garbage” in the Epstein file. President Trump also sued the Wall Street Journal silly over the story, which would be a strange bit of brinksmanship if he knew the note was legit….

So let’s step back and look at what we know about the Epstein situation.

BACKGROUND

This story should serve as a warning. Since I live not far from Duke, I remember this story from when it originally hit the news .

The Duke lacrosse case should have been a warning about #MeToo — Instead, for many, it only deepened the desire to put men in the guillotine

…Oddly enough, one of the few individuals willing to publicly defend the Duke lacrosse players was Stephen Miller. Yes, that Stephen Miller, the founder of America First Legal who will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Trump’s second term. He wrote conservative columns for the Duke student newspaper at the time and was invited on national news shows to give his perspective on the case. During an interview with noted crime commentator Nancy Grace after the first two arrests were made, Miller said, “I think I speak for many students when I say we’re very, very concerned that two innocent people, possibly, just had their lives ruined.” Grace gasped in horror at the assertion. Miller was invited back on several programs after the rape charges were dropped to take a well-deserved victory lap; he accused lacrosse team haters of pursuing a “political agenda” over the truth.

The rape charges were dropped after a series of unfortunate events for the bloodthirsty district attorney, Mike Nifong. One indicted player had evidence to corroborate an alibi that he wasn’t at the party…

This sort of smear job is standard practice for the D-Rats. First they tried Stormy Daniels and then E. Jean Carroll. Carroll did not make the same mistake Crystal Mangum did. When Carroll accused POTUS Trump, she never gave specific times and dates that could be refuted and picked Trump hating NYC to bring her case.

To put it bluntly the Epstein case is OLD and STALE making solid cases from the information quite difficult without corroborating evidence. I do not count other witnesses as evidence for reasons that will become clear below.

Unfortunately evidence held by the FBI, especially the NYC FBI, I would consider suspect given their track record of covering up for the Deep State and especially for the Clintons.

OUR TRUSTWORTHY FBI

9 Out Of 12 People Who Saw Anthony Weiner’s Laptop Are Dead

According to True Pundit:

NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to:

• Money laundering

• Child exploitation

• Sex crimes with minors (children)…

NYPD detectives and a [sic] NYPD Chief, the department’s highest rank under Commissioner, said openly that if the FBI and Justice Department fail to garner timely indictments against Clinton and co- conspirators, NYPD will go public with the damaging emails now in the hands of FBI Director James Comey and many FBI field offices.

“What’s in the emails is staggering and as a father, it turned my stomach,” the NYPD Chief said. “There is not going to be any Houdini-like escape from what we found. We have copies of everything. We will ship them to Wikileaks or I will personally hold my own press conference if it comes to that.”…. [And so they died. -GC]

Article also includes 46 names from the Clinton Body count.

US Government Intentionally Destroys 9/11 Evidence

The CIA videotaped the interrogation of 9/11 suspects, falsely told the 9/11 Commission that there were no videotapes or other records of the interrogations… The tape of interviews of air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 was intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building
as shown by this NY Times article (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view) and by
this article from the Chicago Sun-Times….

The FBI long ago found and analyzed the “black box” recorders from the airplanes which hit the Twin Towers, but has consistently denied that they were ever found…

The former head of fire science and engineering for the agency responsible for finding out why the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 collapsed on 9/11 (the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) – who is one of the world’s leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering –wrote that evidence necessary to determine the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Centers was being destroyed….

Las Vegas Massacre

OT covered this topic extensively. I think it was Wolfie that mentioned victims that were organizing to bring out the facts about other shooters ended up dead. Also IIRC the site was quickly bulldozed to prevent analyzing the bullet paths. Those paths would be clear evidence of multiple shooters. Later we learned the Maui Police Chief, John Pelletier, was the incident commander during the Las Vegas massacre.

DA’s OFFICE: Vegas Sheriff is FBI Puppet Covering Up Evidence of Second Shooter in Las Vegas Investigation

The DA insider said Aaron Rouse who heads the FBI in Las Vegas reports directly to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who is running point on the Las Vegas shooting probe. Rouse, who for years worked under McCabe in the Bureau’s Counterintelligence Division in D.C., was appointed to the Las Vegas post by ex-FBI director James Comey in 2016.

According to the Las Vegas source, Rouse’s FBI has discounted most of the intelligence and evidence found by investigators outside the bureau, including LVMPD as well as solid evidence pinpointed by investigators working with the county DA’s office.

Some of this evidence deals with forensic proof that a second shooter may have opened fire on the concert goers, the law enforcement source said.

Paddock, the DA insider said, was firing rounds from approximately 400 yards away from the concert from the 32nd floor on Mandalay Bay. The law enforcement source said investigators turned over proof to the FBI that a second shooter was firing from inside a perimeter of approximately 215 yards...
Truepundit.com reported: “It’s a movie script that was written after the shooting to rewrite what really happened,” one FBI agent said. “The investigation is an entirely different story that we are not allowed to talk about. If we do and get caught, we get fired and probably charged (criminally)…

7 Las Vegas Shooting Witnesses Now Dead Within 1 Month of Attack

I tried to double check the information. One ‘wittness’ he counted was Paddock.

A Las Vegas man survived the mass shooting in Las Vegas, only to be killed a few weeks later by a hit-and-run driver.

Just weeks after surviving the massacre at a Las Vegas music festival, a married Californian couple died together in a fiery car crash, officials and friends said. LINK

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So the FBI, especially the NYC FBI, has a history of LYING and DESTROYING EVIDENCE in order to protect the Clintons and other Elites. This is the SAME FBI that was in charge of the Epstein Files for over four years.

Aubergine mentioned information captured by NSA. Given the solid control the Deep State had for years over the US government, I would not bank on the critical files being captured and stored. Remember the Comey and Corney slight of hand? I think that is the tip of a vast iceberg when it comes to hiding sensitive government records from the Public.

A quick look at the destruction of some of the Epstein material.

Ghislaine Maxwell was put in charge of running Jeffrey Epstein’s various homes around the world in 1991

August 01, 2019 Authorities Were Alarmed By ‘Temple’ On Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island’

The structure, referred to informally as a “temple,” was not built even remotely like the music pavilion plans submitted to the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Resources, NBC reported Thursday. Flanked by gold-painted statues, the mysterious building has inspired conspiracy theories.

The New York financier Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested last month for sex trafficking of minors, owned two islands, Little St. James and Big St. James, both located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Locals preferred the name “Pedophile Island,” according to the Associated Press, and they told Vanity Fair that Epstein repeatedly brought girls to the island who “couldn’t have been over 16.” (RELATED: Epstein Wanted To Seed The Human Race By Impregnating Women On His New Mexico Ranch: Report)

The entrance to the blue and white-striped “temple” was flanked by gold-painted statues, and the building is seemingly entered through a massive wooden door. A gold dome topped the structure, until a hurricane blew it off in 2017, the building is also surrounded by a terrace with a labyrinth motif, according to New York Magazine. (RELATED: Epstein Will Be Met In Court With Over 1 Million Pages Of Evidence, Lawyers Say)

Notably, the door to the building seems to lock from the outside.

“It’s styled like what you might see on a castle, with what appears to be a reinforcing lock bar across the face,” contractor James Booth told Business Insider. “What makes it peculiar is that if you wanted to keep people out, the bar would be placed inside the building, [but the] locking bar appears to be placed on the outside … as if it were intended to lock people in.”

This is not the only time Epstein has defied the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Resources. The department issued, and workers ignored, a stop-work order on the construction of an amphitheater and “underwater office and pool” on Big St. James, according to the New York Post...

Strange Things Are Happening on Epstein Island: Drone Footage

Strange Things Are Happening on Epstein Island: Drone Footage

Recent drone footage of Little Saint James reveals strange activity and telling facts about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation since his death. As expected, everything points towards a massive cover-up. Here are the most revealing images captured by drones in the past weeks.

Considering the fact that Litte Saint James was the site of heinous crimes involving powerful people, one would expect the island to be treated like a crime scene that is completely closed off to non-investigators. That is not what is happening.

After a crime scene has been discovered, it is important that measures are taken to secure and protect the scene from contamination. In order to maintain the integrity of the scene, law enforcement must take action to block off the surrounding area as well as keep track of who comes in and goes out. By taking these precautions, officers can ensure that evidence that is collected can be used in court. Evidence that has become contaminated, tampered with, or mistreated can pollute the scene and cause a case to be thrown out of court.
– Wikipedia, Crime Scene

Two weeks prior to the FBI raids on Epstein Island, a drone filmed a team of workers doing heavy construction work on the island using tractors, bulldozers and tons of new material.

This footage was filmed on July 30th, 10 days before Epstein’s death and 12 days before the FBI raids. We can see construction workers, heavy machinery and bags of material, possibly concrete

In July, the ambulance was parked on the roof of a building.

A few weeks later, the ambulance was moved to a different spot.

After Epstein’s death and after the FBI raids, the island was still bustling with activity….

Epstein Island: Newly Unsealed Evidence of Abuse

Guest Post by Techno Fog

We have newly unsealed documents – including the depositions of Ghislaine Maxwell and one of her victims – revealing new details on the extent of the abuse and victimization that took place by Jeffrey Epstein. Those filings come from Giuffre v. Maxwell, a civil case filed against Maxwell in 2015 in the New York Southern District.

Some of the broader allegations have already been made public. Sarah Ransome, who accused Epstein and Maxwell of abuse that took place during her early 20s, settled a civil lawsuit against them in 2018. Ransome has publicly described some of the abuse. And there have been reports on what transpired at Little St. James, often referred to as Epstein Island…

Let’s get to the new details, starting with the testimony of Ransome, available here. She actually lived one of Epstein’s apartments in 2006 with a few other girls. During that time, she worked for what she described as an “agency” which arranged paid dinners with wealthy clients: “I was paid to spend dinner with a gentleman.” Whatever happened after dinner with the client was done on her “own accord” and “after that time period had finished.”….

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide

Most recently, she had been sharing images of herself to Instagram from a hospital bed after being in a car crash, stating doctors told her she had just days to live.

She said her car had been hit by a school bus travelling at over 60mph and the accident had left her with kidney failure.

The photograph showed discoloration to Giuffre’s face and chest which has been described as severe bruising.

In the post after the crash, she expressed that she was ready to die.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,’ she said.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.’….

Daily Mail Australia subsequently spoke to the bus driver and multiple eye witnesses to the crash who confirmed it was a ‘minor bump.’

It was also revealed that Giuffre had been listed to face court ten days before the crash over the alleged breach of the family violence restraining order….

3 January 2024 Daily Mail

What happened to Epstein’s ‘pedo island’ after he died? As court prepares to release Epstein’s ‘client list’ a look at Little St James where he groomed and abused young girls but it now set to be turned into a luxury resort next year

Investor and entrepreneur Stephen Deckoff bought Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island’ as part of a $60m deal and plans to build a luxury resort.

In the aftermath of Epstein’s death, it was listed for sale for $125 million in 2021. In May 2023, it was sold to billionaire Stephen Deckoff who vowed to turn it into a luxury resort by 2025.
Deckoff is reported to have paid around $60 million for the property as well as for Great St. James. Epstein’s estate has said that any money generated from the sale of his properties would be used to settle lawsuits…. [Has video and photos.]

So there goes any chance of actually recovering any more evidence from that island.

STEPHEN DECKOFF

My curiosity bump got the better of me.
Forbes: Stephen Deckoff

Stephen Deckoff founded Black Diamond Capital Management, which manages $10 billion in assets.

Stephen Deckoff – Board Member | KVH Industries, Inc.

[“We are a leader in mobile connectivity, satellite TV, content, and network management, delivering multi-orbit, multi-channel hybrid connectivity solutions to an expanding worldwide subscriber base of commercial and leisure vessels along with land mobility and commercial applications.” – LINK]

Stephen H. Deckoff was elected to the KVH Board of Directors in June 2023.

From February 2023 to June 2023, Mr. Deckoff was an observer on the KVH Board. Mr. Deckoff has been the managing principal of Black Diamond Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Black Diamond”), a privately held alternative asset management firm, since its founding in 1995. In that capacity, he is responsible for all portfolio management and business operations. Prior to 1995, Mr. Deckoff was a senior vice president of Kidder, Peabody & Co. Inc. (“Kidder”) and head of its Structured Finance Group. Prior to joining Kidder, Mr. Deckoff was a managing director in the Structured Finance Group at Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. (“Bear Stearns”). Before joining Bear Stearns, Mr. Deckoff worked in the Structured Finance Department of Chemical Securities, Inc. and the Fixed Income Research Department at Drexel Burnham Lambert. Mr. Deckoff has held or currently holds board seats for a number of Black Diamond portfolio companies, including Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., ION Media, Werner Ladder, White Birch, and Bayou Steel, among others, and he has held a board seat at Pacific National Bank, N.A., a privately chartered bank headquartered in Miami, since 2014.

Wolfie mentioned finding bones of victims. Maxwell had a submarine and a helicopter as well as the licenses to use them, so I imagine any bodies ended up as shark food. Any blood or other evidence has long since been destroyed.

GLORIA ALLRED

Duchess brought this X-22 report that has a lot of key information about the Epstein mess.

Epstein Boomerang, D’s Panic, Big Pharma Damage Control Response To Trump, Soon – Ep. 372

IMHO the information about Gloria Allred is the most important and the reason I would not trust the accusations of a survivor even if backed up by a second woman.

Gloria Allred is representing Epstein victims.

Gloria Allred is Lisa Bloom’s mother.

2025.09.09 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 26

We move to neighboring New York to begin the next reveal of the remaining Declaration signers. So let’s open with some famous New Yorkers and NY related songs to get us warmed up. There are Goober Gump sightings in this one.

OK, went back in the time capsule for that one. In fact, I saw him in concert in Vegas a few years previous to this performance. Yes, I’m old.

Let’s go with a more current NY music entertainer, albeit a now older guy who is having his own health issues and stepping back from the limelight.

Well, now that you asked, I also saw this guy in concert in 1973; the year Piano Man came out following the Cold Spring Harbor Tour. He excitedly announced on stage that the song was going to be released in about a month along with a planned album later. The response from the thousands in the crowd after hearing the song was like thunder. As we now know, that song is timeless Americana that will be forever associated with Billy Joel.

Then there was the following New York bred music entertainer, Harry Chapin, that some may know, or barely remember, or may not know at all . Yup, saw him the same year. Hands down one of the best concerts I have ever seen. He held the crowd in his hands with his stories, humor and talent. His brother, Tom, sang the high female voice part. Tom also did a cool Saturday morning children’s TV show called Make A Wish that won an Emmy. He played six instruments in the band. In addition, Harry’s bass player was the baritone voice heard as Mr. Tanner in the song of that name. That song was based on a real person and event with the actual name, location and occupation changed to protect the described person. Years later the person learned about the song and was very happy that Harry had remembered him.

Harry’s life was cut way too short at age 38 in an auto accident on the Long Island Expressway. So, here is one in his memory…

However, as much as I enjoyed and was musically influenced by the NY entertainers above, the following expresses my personal thoughts and feelings about New York itself. That is not a slam to the many fine people who live in the state or some of its more beautiful environment. It is directed at just how far the state in general has strayed from its founding and service to America. That has led to the virtual destruction in the quality of life one should expect. I will address more of my thoughts on that issue in a future part.

Yeah, as he toured the south I saw this Philadelphia area singer songwriter, Jim Croce, who would not be recognized by many as a classically trained music student at Villanova as a young man. Yes, the concert I attended was in that same year. It was held less than two weeks before his plane went down with his bandmates traveling to a concert in Louisiana and he was lost to all of us. What the world did not know at the time was that he was choosing to give up his promising entertainment career to write short stories and movie scripts. While on this last tour he had written his wife a letter describing his decision. It arrived after his passing.

We never know as we wander through life what is in store. Time to get busy.

New York Revolutionary War Militia Involvement

The following in the link below is priceless for historians and genealogists as it was published in 1904 and archived by the State of New York’s Office of the Comptroller. It contains documents and records from the Revolutionary War period in the state that includes names of militia members in every regiment and area of service. I found it interesting, especially the fact that the Comptroller at that time documented the fact that NY provided more than double the number of military members during the Revolutionary War than credited by historians up to that point. The two figures are starkly different at 17.8 K officially versus 43.6 K with this revision. Yet, another proof that history and narratives are frequently wrongly stated. Readers should keep that in mind when trying to learn more and should not take statements of historians as gospel without first personally investigating and consulting numerous sources.

https://archive.org/details/newyorkrevolution01statrich/page/n63/mode/2up?view=theater

So why is this adjustment important? It is hardly surprising that Massachusetts earned the honor of having the most members in our military. But few might know that with this documented revision that New York would be second on the list. It gives readers an indication of the commitment of the residents in each state toward the cause of liberty during the period. You learn that NY’s involvement represented approximately 20% of the total estimated participation of 200,000 men give or take. Even with the information provided there is cause to believe there were a great deal more men involved in the conflict based upon the records of pensions granted to members who were injured in the conflict whose names do not appear in any other records, indicating the original enlistment records were lost. Such is the case with NY.

Included in the first 25 pages or so of text are descriptions of war efforts, battles, conflicts with Indian tribes who were stirred up against the colonists by the Brits/loyalists, pay, rations, service requirements, attire, weapons, training and so forth. This quote was also very interesting – “Quakers, Moravians and United Brethren were enrolled, but exempted from service upon payment of money, which varied in amount as the war progressed until, in 1780, they were obliged to pay £160 per year.”

So some could legally buy their way out of serving. I guess money was tight and patriot lives were cheap for everybody else.

Another interesting quote relates to slaves – All slaves ‘killed in the service were to be paid for. In time of invasion, any slave, not in the military service, found one mile from his master’s abode, without a certificate from his master showing his business, might be ” shot or otherwise destroyed without fear of censure, impeachment or prosecution for the same.” In 1781, it was provided that any slave who should enlist and serve ” for three years, or until discharged,” should be declared a freeman of the State.

That might burst some holier than thou bubbles.

So, even if I am not a big fan of New York today as the state has clearly lost its way for quite some time and still creates millions of slaves of a different sort, I salute the commitment to the patriot cause of its forefathers. We will now turn our attention to one such Declaration signer. As we will learn, the cause of liberty was met with challenges, violence, death and misfortune for many; which included some of our founding fathers who we celebrate and thank today.

Phillip Livingston

Phillip Livingston was born in Albany, NY in 1716. He was the fourth surviving son of Phillip and Catherine Van Gogh Livingston. His father emigrated from Scotland and mother was Dutch. His father lived in the Albany area in 1673 and later owned a large rural estate as a 2nd Lord of the Manor, some 160,000 acres located along the Hudson River about 40 miles from Albany. He received the estate for his faithful service to the Brits in political appointments such as Secretary of Indian Affairs, in his fur and other trading activities as well as in his close associations with the Dutch due to their family’s background and ability to speak both languages. This established him into the aristocracy of the region and the estate was granted him by the royal governor for his efforts. The manor later became known as Clermont and was held by seven generations of the Livingston family until the year 2000. A photo and link about them and it is below.

https://www.friendsofclermont.org/the-livingstons

Young Phillip spent his time between his father’s Albany townhouse and the estate. He went on to Yale and graduated in 1737 before returning to begin a mercantile apprenticeship under his father. He served in clerkships in the Albany government before moving to New York City to begin a career in the import business trading in the West Indies. He was very successful through the years that followed and became wealthy. He made much money providing British military provisions, slave trading, and privateering. For those who do not know what privateering is; it is a government authorized form of pirating. The privateer was authorized to violently attack shipping interests, usually foreign, to seize the cargo on behalf of the government. They would split the goods and/or profits. In 1740 he married the daughter of a British Colonel, Christina Ten Broeck. They went on to have nine children together.

Phillip gave back to the region with his finances and time. He advocated for the founding of a school that is now Columbia University, for a Professorship of Divinity at Yale, helped in the building of the first meeting house for the Methodist Society of America, and helped organize the New York Public Library. He then entered public service as a New York City alderman. He served three terms on its Provincial Assembly. He was slow to join the independence movement, but over time he saw it as the right way as the oppressive British tax acts began accumulating. He was adamantly opposed to taxation without representation as he still considered himself to be a British citizen accorded all rights of the nation. He would be elected or chosen to positions within the Provincial Assembly only to meet British opposition and removal. Eventually, in 1769, the royal governor dissolved the city’s Assembly.

In response he became a member of the Committee of 51 that chose him as one of five delegates from the state to attend the First Continental Congress in 1775. At the same time he served as President of the New York State Provincial Assembly. He signed the Olive Branch Petition to try one last time to move the King away from his push for more control and taxes in the colonies. The King refused as we know. This led to the Declaration of Independence, which Phillip approved and signed on behalf of the state.

As a person Phillip could be gruff and irritable at times in his political and business dealings. However, he was known to be very kind and loving with family and friends. He was reserved and spent a great deal of time reading. He was a deacon and elder in the Dutch Reformed Church throughout his life.

However, like many wealthy mercantilists during the era he participated heavily in the slave trade and personally owned some for a number of years. There is a report that indicated he was involved in at least 15 shipping transactions of hundreds of slaves that were brought to the NYC area for sale. As another example, in one article there was discussion of him advertising and offering a reward for the return of his property, a slave who had escaped. This bit of history and other slave trading related accounts have often been deleted or glossed over in the many historical accounts of Phillip as well as other northern founding fathers.

I must interject here as I find what has been happening with the rewriting of history to be tragic. This series has been a real eye opener for me. There is no call for this type narrative based rewriting of history that I am seeing repeatedly. In my view it means the rewriters have ulterior and probably nefarious motives to do so. In regards to the subject of slavery, what was an acceptable and legal practice during that period in time is no longer so. Just observe, recognize the truth, and move on. Chalk it up as a wrong that has been righted.

The Livingston extended family were prominently involved throughout New York state and colonial government. Phillip’s first cousin, Robert, was even appointed to Chancellor of New York State, its highest judicial office. He was a framer of the Declaration of Independence and later administered the oath of office to George Washington as President. He served as Minister to France in negotiations for the Louisiana purchase in 1803. We must note that he and the other American negotiators figuratively struck gold on that one. Some twenty Livingston kin of Phillip served as officers in the Continental military. The family was patriot to the core.

Both Colonial and British forces occupied two of his homes in the city at various times, First, Gen. Washington used one as his headquarters before the colonists lost battles around the city, at which time the Brits used it to house military members as well as his second home as a hospital. Phillip and his family fled from the fighting to their home in Kingston, NY. When this happened his slaves escaped and some were thought to have joined the British forces to later earn their freedom. The Brits eventually burned all of the town of Kingston to the ground. The family escaped again back to the safety of their native Albany area.

Phillip was chosen as a state senator while remaining a member of the Continental Congress. In fact, he served up to the actual day of his death while working in the same assembly in 1778. He died from the long term effects of dropsy (edema) at age 62. Members of the Continental Congress attended his funeral and there was an official one month mourning period. He is buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery in York, PA. The prominence and dedication of both Phillip and his cousin, Robert, are noted with several memorials in Washington, DC. With the British destruction he had lost most all of his properties and holdings while still having debts owed from his estate. The sale and repayment took nearly 25 years to resolve. His wife, Christina, remained in the Albany area surrounded and cared for by family for the rest of her life. She lived to the age of 82.

Phillip Livingston gave all he had for his country, family and friends. His family legacy was faithfully served by his efforts as well. We have great appreciation for this patriot founding father.

Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Dear KMAG: 20250908 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

farouche

adjective

Wild
Unpolished
Unsociable or shy and socially awkward
Disorderly or intimidating in appearance or behavior
Outrageous or extreme

Used in a sentence limerick

There was a young pol named LaRouche
Who some folks thought was quite farouche
Others thought he was clever
In his POTUS endeavor
But I thought the guy was a douche.

MUSIC!

When I was a kid, I had a young Ozark-bred hippie neighbor kid who loved these guys. My neighbor was a good guy. Probably took too many drugs, but he was OK.

Speaking of this song, I’m wishing Daughn well, wherever she is now!

THE STUFF

This is one of the best testimonies of belief in Christ that I have ever seen.

I always liked this lady on OAN, but now I know a bit more about her.

OK – let’s have some music history to go along with that music!

He was always an interesting guy.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

God Chose Israel

Speaking of the nation of Israel, Deuteronomy 7:7-9 tells us, “The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your forefathers that He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.”

God chose the nation of Israel to be the people through whom Jesus Christ would be born—the Savior from sin and death (John 3:16). God first promised the Messiah after Adam and Eve’s fall into sin (Genesis chapter 3). God later confirmed that the Messiah would come from the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 12:1-3). Jesus Christ is the ultimate reason why God chose Israel to be His special people. God did not need to have a chosen people, but He decided to do it that way. Jesus had to come from some nation of people, and God chose Israel.

However, God’s reason for choosing the nation of Israel was not solely for the purpose of producing the Messiah. God’s desire for Israel was that they would go and teach others about Him. Israel was to be a nation of priests, prophets, and missionaries to the world. God’s intent was for Israel to be a distinct people, a nation who pointed others towards God and His promised provision of a Redeemer, Messiah, and Savior. For the most part, Israel failed in this task. However, God’s ultimate purpose for Israel—that of bringing the Messiah into the world—was fulfilled perfectly in the Person of Jesus Christ.

2025-09-06, Saturday. First Edition

Saturday’s boilerplate. Where the hell to start… Left foot, obviously.

Number One, on my To Do List here.

PAVACA.

Snatched, “Simply Saturday” from one of Wolf’s posts. He referred to your offer, to create Simply Saturdays, after Steve bailed.

Apologies. With attribution AND your permission, future Saturdays will be, Simply Saturday. Assuredly, my posts will not be as creative or entertaining as yours. But, Slow Guy Simple, they will be. 🙂

Obligatory administrivia stuff up front.

Most importantly. What Wheatie said.

3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone. <<< T H I S.

2. No running with scissors.

1. No food fights. (Launching dinner rolls encouraged.)

Personal Note.

TMI.
I’ll always remember Wheatie’s reply, to what may have been my first post here QTree. Polar Bear.
Wheatie was incredibly warm, welcoming and “glad” I found QTree. That moment, I knew, QTree was for me.
Truly wish I’d had the pleasure of meeting Wheatie.

AI generated stuff posted, should have link, reference, something along those lines.

Suggest AI stuff follow these reader friendly guidelines.

Grok questions and the like commonly generate lengthy answers. Suggest paste the exact question in the reply. >>> THEN use the spoiler(s), for pasting Grok’s blathering.. Perhaps multiple spoilers for extended Grok blathering.
Or a link to Grok’s answer. Which may be accurate AND likely has programmed bias.

Select guidance from Wolf.

No obnoxious behavior towards fellow QTreeper(s).
Freedom of Speech is honored here QTree.
But Do Know, every poster, IS personally responsible for whatever they post.

Spelling, grammar, formatting and the like.

“In my defense, I was left alone, without supervision.”
Yea. I stole that line from a t-shirt. Remains my position.
BTW. I do try. Not to screw up. But it happens. Seriously, I’ll NOT fret over it.

More TMI. Personal stuff AND future Simply Saturday Posts.

My goal is to schedule, a post every Saturday, at 12:01AM.
Regardless of time zone, DW and I are enjoying, lights are out 9PM or shortly after. Typically, up 5AM or so. 15-20 minutes later, I’m on line with QTree.
IF perchance I screw up scheduling (likely), or WP fails to post (happens), I’ll kick the daily, out when I log in. ~5:15AM or soon thereafter.
Obviously, Wolf is the boss. If Wolf is around, he usually is, rather sure Wolf will launch it..
Wolf’s post policy, is quite lenient. Noon. I suspect that is so Authors don’t stress.
Point is. Please don’t fret, Simply Saturday will get posted.

Simply Saturday boiler plate is to ensure, at a minimum, there is a Saturday post. Several will be scheduled in advance.

My intention is to add Fresh stuff below the boiler plate, on Friday. then reschedule.

BREAKING NEWS. Deep thinking on Saturday’s, is so, so, yesterday. Keeping it, S I M P L E.

That is not a swipe at Steve, science posts or anything of the like. I always appreciated his stuff AND learned a great deal. Plus, reality is, I don’t do deep thinking.

Simply Saturday will ideally, have news of interest, X’s and whatever I can glom onto.
More like a primer, for the night crew to chatter box away, share fun stuff, news…

>>> At about this point the typical, Simply Saturday boiler plate, wraps up with… Slow Guy. Sorta like Wolf’s boiler plate, W.

Slow Guy

With First Edition, Simply Saturday boilerplate out of the way. Much of the above minutia will disappear, in follow-on, Simply Saturday boilerplate iterations.

Now, for some, Fresh Stuff that caught my eye. May be worth a read, listen, or scroll on by.

HOLY SH*T! On the spot, President Trump gives the ORDERS to his General to SH00T DOWN *ANY* Venezuelan fighter jet who dares fly directly over our warships in a dangerous manner.

“You have a choice of doing ANYTHING you want. OK? If they fly in a dangerous position, you can make the decision.” Trump said that the events that transpired this week involving a VZ fighter were NOT as described – meaning they likely did not get as directly overhead as was reported. “It wasn’t really ‘over,’ not like they described…”

^^^ Dunno why that one did not show correctly. Narrative below.

BREAKING: A total reversal just occurred – Trump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is enacting a full “EXPLOSION” of liquefied natural gas exports in the United States after Biden slashed them for 4 years.

This was a move that helped our enemies, directly. No more. LNG is surging to the tune of tens of billions.

“It’s completely inexplicable that under the Biden administration, they would do something that hurt America and helped our adversaries. That’s exactly what happened when they shut down LNG export facilities.”

“There’s been a complete explosion of building export facilities, tens of BILLIONS of dollars going in across the Gulf Coast. The effort that’s going on in Alaska to build LNG export capabilities to sell to our Pacific allies.”

“We have the supply. The US is the largest supplier of LNG, now, in the world – growing the most rapidly, we’re the one that’s gaining share, and when we take that market share away from Russia, that’s great for Americans and it’s great for world peace.”

We were ruled by traitors for 4 years.

‘Quit Bombing Me’: A Renegade Republican’s Escalating War With Trump

Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie is trying to force the government to release more Epstein records; Trump vows to ‘lead the charge against him’

WASHINGTON—GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, a major thorn in President Trump’s side, wanted a peace agreement.

As the House struggled to finish Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax-and-spending bill, the Kentucky libertarian was pulled into a room off the House floor for a meeting convened by House Speaker Mike Johnson. The president was on the speakerphone. All year long, Trump had been attacking Massie for breaking with Republicans. Now he needed Massie’s vote.

Massie told the president he wanted the ads pummeling him on Kentucky television to stop. “I want the same deal you gave Iran: Quit bombing me,” Massie recalled telling Trump. When Trump asked who was running the ads, Massie said the mastermind was Chris LaCivita, a top political strategist for Trump. “Well, he works for me,” Massie recalled Trump responding. “I’ll tell him to quit.”

Health Friday 9.5.2025 Open Thread: Human LINE-1, Chromosomes, and the modRNA COVID-19 “Vaccines”: Part One

The header image for today’s offering is courtesy of https://genesdev.cshlp.org/content/37/21-24/948.full, “LINE-1 retrotransposition and its regulation in cancers: implications for therapeutic opportunities”, Carlos Mendez-Dorantes, and Kathleen H. Burns, 13 December 2023.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks of the disaster of COVID-19 (the COVID-19 virus itself, and the COVID-19 “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location: who have contracted a COVID-19 infection and recovered from it, but who also have residual complications from the infection; who have suffered COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injury, illness, disability, or “Long COVID”; or, who have passed away, either from complications from an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or from COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced issues caused by these “vaccines” they had in their body.

There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for perhaps some AI-generated images embedded in links cited in today’s offering. If readers wish to include any AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Today’s offering is Part One of two. It is not a lesson on human anatomy or on human genetics: it is a presentation of some of the most-recent information regarding the dangers and deadliness of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (Bioweapon Toxin Injections.) Yours Truly will emphasize at the start that more and more information that exposes these dangers and deadliness is coming out by the week — the “information trickle” of previous years regarding this situation is becoming a torrent. There is also information that potentially links some of the deleterious effects of the COVID- 19 “vaccines” back to the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. Please bear with me: what may look like “diffuse parts” are all important pieces of the whole.

There is some “background information” that is necessary to “lay the groundwork” for the rest of today’s offering. Yours Truly begins here, with a paper by Ralph Baric, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, from 2006. The paper is found here: https://www.jcvi.org/sites/default/assets/projects/synthetic-genomics-options-for-governance/Baric-Synthetic-Viral-Genomics.pdf, “Synthetic Viral Genomics: Risks and Benefits for Science and Society”, Ralph S. Baric, PhD. In Yours Truly’s opinion, this paper can be viewed as a “blueprint” for the future Gain-of-Function (GoF) lab-experimentation with, and the lab-creation of, viruses such as the Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus; and the more-recent GoF experiments with strains of the H5N1 (Avian Influenza) virus. Please see the screenshots from Dr. Baric’s 2006 paper, below:

YT: Note the mentions, right at the start in the paper, about “biological warfare” and “biodefense.”

YT: The above images are from the Baric 2206 paper. Figure 4b appears to “outline” how to lab-create (Gain-of-Function work) of “synthetic coronavirus” genome codes.

Yours Truly will specially point out the passage above, “…data will provide detailed predictions regarding easy approaches to humanize zoonotic strains by retargeting the attachment proteins to recognize human, not the animal receptors (43-45).” This, in my opinion, is a direct “tie-in” to the gene code pieces from the Pangolin MP789 coronavirus that were used in the lab-creation of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 virus) itself — the same virus that is the foundation of all the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, including the “booster shots” and the “latest formula vaccines.” The MP789 coronavirus gene code has multiple “areas” that the human body can be receptive to — including the PRRAR / PRRARSV “backdoor key” to nucleus of every cell. Please see the following for more information about MP789 and its connection to the PRRARSV “backdoor key” that both the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna contain: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/05/01/pfizer-and-moderna-vaccines-both-contain-the-prrarsv-key-to-the-cell-nucleus/; https://www.theqtree.com/2024/11/22/health-friday-11-22-2024-open-thread-lets-talk-about-prrarsv-the-backdoor-key/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2024/11/27/placeholder-open-thread-11-27-2024-prrarsv-part-2-pangolin-edition/.

There is also something else of interest to point out regarding one of the References in the 2006 Baric paper: Reference 45. The referenced paper is found here: https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.1038/sj.emboj.7600640, “Receptor and viral determinants of SARS- coronavirus adaptation to human ACE2.”, Li, W., et al., 24 March 2005. This paper discusses the GoF experiments performed to determine and then lab-create elements of various rat and palm civet coronaviruses to the ACE2 receptor cells of humans. Recall that rat and civet coronaviruses experiments were performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the process of lab-creating the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. Please see the screenshots from the paper, below. The first is from the authors’ “summary” a the top of the paper; the second is the end of the Discussion section of the paper:

Ralph Baric, PhD, was also working on the “cross-species adaptation and transmission” aspects of SARS- coronaviruses. For example, this paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2838128/, “Recombination, Reservoirs, and the Modular Spike: Mechanisms of Coronavirus Cross-Species Transmission”, Rachel L Graham, Ralph S Baric, 11 November 2009. The paper specifically discusses Spike 1 residues and ACE2 receptor cells in coronaviruses found in Himalayan palm civets; bats; and raccoon dogs — and the possibility that these coronaviruses can “leap” to humans.

And now, with the above as part of the context, Yours Truly presents LINE-1. First, via Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINE1):

And, Second, from ActiveMotif (https://www.activemotif.com/blog-line-1, “LINE-1 Elements: Walk the LINE-1”, Michelle Tetrault Carlson, PhD, 13 September 2022):

LINE-1 cells are found throughout the human body. LINE-1 aberrations are involved in the following conditions: Genetic disease; cancers (lung; ovarian; bladder; colon; breast; brain [glioma]; and, liver.) LINE-1 aberrations / changes are also involved in aging and “aging related diseases” (per the article above, in the “LINE-1 and Aging” section.)

LINE-1 (also called L1) cells have been studied for some time; in particular, the association between L1 “retrotransposition” and disease. This is important in the context of what will be discussed next.

L1 cells can be “retrotransposed.” This will create “genetic instability.” Such retrotransposition can occur as an aberration resulting from genetic predisposition in the body. Please see: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0092-8674(02)00839-5, “Human L1 Retrotransposition Is Associated with Genetic Instability”, David E. Symer, et al., 9 August 2002. The Abstract from this paper is below:

This paper also discusses the role of SV40 in L1 retrotransposition. In addition, there is a section entitled, “L1 Is an Engine for Genetic Change.”

“Transposed” L1 cells can be involved in the establishment of cancers: https://doi.org/10.1101/gad.351051.123, “LINE-1 retrotransposition and its deregulation in cancers: implications for therapeutic opportunities”, Carlos Mendez-Dorantes, Kathleen H. Burns, 13 December 2023. Please see the screenshot from this paper (a graphical “process image” of L1 being “retrotransposed”), below:

The alarm bells have been ringing regarding the dangers of LINE-1 (L1) retrotranposition (“reverse transcription”) effect of the modCOVID-19 “vaccines” for some time. Examples: the “Maurol, et al.” paper of March 2022: https://www.hilarispublisher.com/articles/intracellular-reverse-transcription-of-covid19-mrna-vaccine-eminvitroem-in-human-cell-87770.html, “Intracellular Reverse Transcription of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine In-Vitro in Human Cell.”, Maurol, Luisette Mauro, Naseer Almukthar, Tarro Giulio, and Gamal abdul Hamid, et al., J Genet DNA Res6(2022):116. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

YT: Note the mention of a timeframe of 5-10 years that is needed to study the effects of the “transcription activity.” Keep this in mind when reading the end of today’s offering.

Then, there is the “Alden, et al.” paper from April 2022: https://www.mdpi.com/1467-3045/44/3/73, “Intracellular Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line”, Markus Alden, Yang De Marinis, et al., 11 April 2022. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. The first is from the paper itself; the second, an image of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 reverse transcription of DNA, is Slide 14 from the Doctors for COVID Ethics article (https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, August 2022):

And, the “Acevedo-Whitehouse and Bruno” paper from February 2023: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2023.111015, “Potential health risks of mRNA-based vaccine therapy: A hypothesis”, K. Acevedo-Whitehouse, R. Bruno, 6 February 2023. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below; the first is part of the Abstract; the second is the end of the Consequences and discussion section:

Which all lead to this, from Dr. Peter McCullough in May 2025: https://www.americaoutloud.news/genetic-bombshell-covid-19-vaccines-change-the-human-genome/, 24 May 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below. First, this one:

This harks back to the information that there are natural reasons for DNA alteration in a person’s body (for example, inherited genetic aberrations.) **** However, the issue here is the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna contain ingredients and mechanisms that deliberately and permanently alter the DNA of the human LINE-1 cell lines of any person who takes these “vaccines” — even one injection of them. This includes DNA alteration in the body of a fetus of an expectant mother who takes modCOVID-19 “vaccines”, due to the fact that these “vaccines” cross the placenta and into the body of the fetus. (And, by the way, those same ingredients and mechanisms are present in all “descendant clone” modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” made by these companies, including the “booster shots” and the “latest version formula” injectables. This is because these are based on, and contain elements of, the original modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” by these companies.)

Then, the second screenshot, below:

YT: **** Please read this phrase again, from Dr. McCullough, regarding the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna: “…sadly, both Pfizer and Moderna do permanently alter DNA via reverse transcription.” It is the “permanently alter DNA via reverse transcription” effects from these injectables that the COVID-19 “vaccinated” in the United States and all over the world are starting to present. It is impossible that the FDA did not know about the potential DNA-altering effects of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” — especially after scientific papers were published which demonstrated that this indeed is the case.

Another piece of the situation has just been published: According to the CDC, 76.4% of all American adults have at least one chronic disease (2023 figures), compared to baseline 2013 figures. The CDC paper is here: https://cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2025/04_0539.htm#ContribAff, “Trends in Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults, By Life Stage, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2013 – 2023”, Kathleen B. Watson, MD, et al., 17 April 2025. All of the authors of this paper are either employees of the CDC; or, of the United States Uniformed Health Services. While it is true that chronic diseases, such as arthritis, can develop for many reasons during adult years, there is NOT ONE WORD in this paper regarding COVID-19 “vaccination” in this age group (18 years – 65+ years) being involved in the increase of any of the chronic diseases that are listed. In other words — the CDC still has its “head firmly in the sand” regarding the dangers and deadliness of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, and the role of these “vaccines” in inducing and/or aggravating multiple types of chronic conditions.

**** What are “COVID-19 “vaccinated” Joe or Jane Average American” going to do when they find out and understand (which they will, eventually) that the most fundamental “building block” of their body — their DNA — was deliberately and permanently altered without their knowledge or consent, if they took any injection of a Pfizer-BioNTech or a Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”? That it doesn’t matter when the “vaccine” injection was put into their body, or how many injections? That their modRNA COVID-19 “vaccinated” children ALSO had their DNA deliberately and permanently altered without their parents’ or guardian’s knowledge or consent? That the state and local governments who “mandated” or legislated that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” be taken by their children in order for them to attend school were complicit in the DNA alteration in their children?

**** What will “COVID-19 “vaccinated” Joe or Jane Average American” do when they find out and understand (which they will, eventually) that the altered DNA in their “vaccinated” body will “lurk” in the body and brain, creating permanent dysfunction of multiple organs of said body, until a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injury, illness, or disability presents later on? That is very likely no “cure” or “turning the clock back” for this altered DNA in the “vaccinated” body?

**** What will “COVID-19 “vaccinated” Joe or Jane Average American” do when they find out and understand (which they will, eventually) that the medical professionals they trusted when they took the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” have betrayed them at the most basic level —“Do No Harm”— by not doing the investigation which would have alerted them to this danger — but, which medical professionals, instead, followed the CDC / FDA / AMA mantras of, “The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective”, and “The known and potential benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks”?

The people who included the elements and mechanisms in the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” that guarantee the deliberate and permanent reverse-transcription of the LINE-1 DNA of every COVID-19 “vaccinated” person; the people who knew about these reverse-transcription elements and mechanisms, but still allowed EUAs and “FDA full approval” of these “vaccines” to proceed; the people who intentionally withheld vital information regarding the real dangers and deadliness of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” from President Trump45 during “Operation Warp Speed”; the people who, even today, are still “recommending” COVID-19 “vaccination” for anyone of any age (paging Dr. Martin Makary, current FDA Commissioner) — all must answer for their actions. All modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” must be removed from use and pulled off the market — now.

Dear MAGA: 20250904 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

How about some music?

Ever heard of this “Rh” stuff – where Rh is not Rhodium?

…Historical context is everything – and caring about it is a large part of what separates us from the screaming communist loony tunes!

And that is why the Cabal, not only targeted READING, they also targeted HISTORY. G Edward Griffins wrote about how our history was rewritten in The Chasm – The Future Is Calling (Part One) Also see my article Dear KMAG 20250101 & Rewriting History

First I wish to direct attention to an article I wrote on February 9, 2023, China, Opium, the Triads and the British East India Co.

In that article I cited: China’s Communist Party and Japan: A Forgotten History

… Before the second Sino-Japanese War commenced, the Communist Party was locked in a death struggle with Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT. The CCP fared poorly in this conflict, suffering repeated defeats at the hands of the Nationalists.

By the end of 1934, the CCP was on the verge of extinction after KMT troops delivered another heavy blow to the Red Army in Jiangxi Province, which forced the party to undertake the now infamous Long March to Xi’an in the northwestern province of Shaanxi. Chiang initially pursued the Communist forces, and would have almost certainly delivered a final blow to the CCP if war with Japan could have been delayed…

And Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation
Remarks in Congress, 1934

….”These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children….

Please at least skim my older article for background.

I am not going to Copy and past much from these article only a bit to give whet the appetite.

An example of the documentation in these articles:

Yale’s special “relationship” with China is long term and well documented.

I never state China was “funded” by the U.S. – However in 1972 Mao was visited by Rockefeller setting up a line of credit for China, this preceded Nixon’s trip to China which finalized the relationship…

After congratulating Kissinger on some undisclosed triumph and offering him a plane ride to the next Bilderberg meeting, Rockefeller asked how he could get a visa to visit China. Kissinger was not too surprised (the president of American Express was also trying to get one) and said he would try to find out through “various channels.” He assured Rockefeller that the Chinese were “less hung up on the name Rockefeller than the Russians. They don’t think they’re running the country.”

Cloak & gown: scholars in the secret war, 1939-1961 By Robin W. Winks

http://saintpaulsistercities.org/changsha/index.html
…

Yuelu Academy was founded in 976 AD (Song Dynasty), destroyed by war in 1127, and rebuilt in 1165 (Southern Song Dynasty). The celebrated philosopher Zhu Xi taught in at the Academy in 1165. It was destroyed by the Mongols but was restored in the late-fifteenth century (Ming Dynasty).

In 1903, it became Hunan High School. The modern day Hunan University is a descendant of the academy. The architecture of some of the buildings was restored from 1981–1986, presumably according to the Song design.

The 1903 Treaty of Shanghai between China and Japan opened the city to foreign trade. Consequently, factories, churches, and schools were built. A college was started by Yale University bachelors and later became a medical center named Xiangya and a secondary school named the Yali School.

Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China began his political career in Changsha. He was a student at the Hunan Number One Teachers’ Training School from 1913 to 1918. He later returned as a teacher and principal from 1920 to 1922.

The school was destroyed during the civil war but has since been restored. The Former Office of the Hunan Communist Party Central Committee where Mao Zedong once lived is now a museum that includes Mao’s living quarters, photographs, and other historical items from the 1920s

Mao Was a Yale Man – Rothschilds Create People’s Republic of China

“By about the year 2000 Communist China will be a “superpower” built by American technology and skill.”

Student Mao Zedong & Yale in China
“The fundamental difference between a “New World Order” under the United Nations and an independent United States are nowhere more clearly indicated than in our ‘Declaration of Independence’ affirmation that “men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” The UN’s total exclusion of God means that rights do not come from God, (but) that they proceed from government, and government can take them away.

[Start at minute 19 of this Oct 15, 2019 interview to understand modern China]

Skull and Bones reaches to all the leaders around the world and this may explain Bush’s obsessive support of China, regardless of the human rights violations and arsenal buildup.

“Skull and Bones is a secret fraternity at Yale University which restricts their membership to only fifteen per year. . The society was formed in 1832 by General William Russell, whose shipping firm later dominated the U.S. side of the China opium trade. Yale University was founded by Eli Yale, who made his fortune working for the opium smuggling British East India Company.

“Skull and Bones became the recruiting grounds and preserve of the most important New England-centered families–families who also made their money in the opium trade. These families, whose sons regularly join Skull and Bones, include the little known, but powerful, Coffins, Sloanes, Tafts, Bundys, Paynes, Whitneys. They are a dominant element of the U.S. ‘Eastern Establishment’ to this day. The Bush family is one of a cluster of lower-level Establishment families controlled by these interests.

“George Bush, the first U.S. diplomatic representative to the People’s Republic of China back in 1973, was a member of Skull and Bones. So was his father, brother, son, uncle, nephew, and several cousins. Winston Lord, the Reagan-Bush administration Ambassador to China was a member; so was his father and several other relatives. James Lilley, the current Ambassador to China, is a member of Skull and Bones, as was his brother. With the exception during the Carter administration, every U.S. Ambassador to Beijing ,since Kissinger’s deal with Mao Zedong was a member of the Skulls and Bones.

In 1903, Yale Divinity School established a number of schools and hospitals throughout China that were collectively known as ‘Yale in China.’ It has since been shown that ‘Yale in China’ was an intelligence network whose purpose was to destroy the republican movement of Sun Yat-sen on behalf of the Anglo-American Establishment. The Anglo-American “Establishment” hated Sun, because he wanted to develop China. On the other hand, they loved the Chinese communists because they intended to keep China backward, and were committed to the production of drugs. . One of ‘Yale in China’s’ most important students was Mao Zedong.

“During World War II, ‘Yale in China’ was a primary instrument used by the U.S. Establishment and its Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to install the Maoists into power….

1. Yale University was founded on the profits of the opium trade in China. Skull & Bones & Bush
www.subgenius.com/bigfist/evils/politics/X002_BUSHED.TXT.html .

2. Mao attended Yale-In-China and in fact was a writer and editor there after his first paper was closed by authorities. Thus when Yale educated, trained and hired him the institution surely knew what they were doing. In fact ,
YALE-IN-CHINA OWNED THE BUILDING WHERE HE HAD HIS ‘CULTURE BOOKSTORE’ IN
1920. www.asiasource.org/society/mao.cfm .

3.Since the resumption of diplomatic ties with China due to the influence of Henry Kissinger (whose son David is a Yale graduate) on President Nixon, every US ambassador to China is a Yalie and known or suspected member of Skull
and Bones, the only exception being a brief period during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

The current Ambassador, Mr. Randt is known to be a member of S & B by   the chinese authorities and is described as a ‘fraternity brother’ of President GW Bush.

www.english.people.com.cn/english/200107/24/eng20010724_75677.html .
“New US Ambassador to China Promises Closer Relations”. Of course,   former President George H.W. Bush was a member of Skull and Bones and US ambassador to China as well.

Oddly, the paranoid Chinese Communist regime never seems to have a problem with this “fraternity” – for good reason as the following information will show.

EVIDENCE OF EXTENSIVE CHINESE PENETRATION OF U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY- – SELECTED AS MERELY ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY.

1. “CNOOC’s All Star Team”
www.publicintegrity.org/lobby/report.aspx?aid=737 . CNOOC , the chinese oil giant hired various lobbyists recently in its ultimately failed attempt to buy US oil company and owner of the only rare earth metals   mine in the USA, UNOCAL.
One of the lobbyists was BKSH an affiliate of Burson-Marsteller and part of the WPP group.

2. “Security Veteran Michael J. Hershmann To Head New Homeland Security Advisory Firm/18July2003.
www.wpp.com/wpp/news/press/press-release.html?content=wpp/news/press/
pressrelease_285.html
. The new company is to “help navigate the security landscape” possibly with the ‘great helmsman’ in mind. The subsidiary of previously   mentioned BHSH and WPP will join with StoneBridge International and be called
Civitas, LLC. So the lobbyists for CNOOC are also navigators for companies that want a piece of the security pie caused by the 9-11   attacks and the creation of DHS.

This is a data point I find most telling.

October 12, 2019 The People’s Republic of China: 70 Years of Economic History

From the CIA Library:

CONSPIRATORS’ HIERARCHY: THE STORY OF THE COMMITTEE OF 300
by Dr. John Coleman

It is 169 pages. A skim through it shows the plans of the Committee of 300 and today’s events show how they are coming true. It also dovetails with my own research that connects The British East India Company, the Opium Wars with control of China AND the USA today.

…Heroin, we are told, is more satisfying to addicts; the effects are far more intense and last
longer than the effects of cocaine and there is less international attention on heroin
producers than there is on Colombian cocaine shippers. Besides which, it is hardly likely
that the U.S. would make any real effort to stop the production of opium in the Golden
Triangle which is under the control of the Chinese military, a serious war would erupt if
any country tried to interdict the trade. A serious attack on the opium trade would bring
Chinese military intervention.

The British know this; they have no quarrel with China, except for an occasional
squabble over who gets the larger share of the pie. Britain has been involved in the China opium trade for over two centuries. No one is going to be so foolish as to rock the boat
when millions upon millions of dollars flow into the bank accounts of the British
oligarchists and more gold is traded on the Hong Kong gold market than the combined
total traded in London and New York.

Those individuals who fondly imagine they can do some kind of a deal with a minor
Chinese or Burmese overlord in the hills of the Golden Triangle apparently have no idea
of what is involved. If they had known, they would never have talked about stopping the
opium trade. Such talk reveals little knowledge of the immensity and complexity of
China’s opium trade, British plutocrats, the Russian KGB, the CIA, and U.S. bankers are
all in league with China. Could one man stop or even make a small dent in the trade? It
would be absurd to imagine it. What is heroin and why is it favored over cocaine these
days? According to the noted authority on the subject Professor Galen, heroin is a
derivative of opium, a drug that stupefies the senses and induces long periods of sleep.
This is what most addicts like, it is called “being in the arms of Morpheus.” Opium is the
most habit-forming drug known to man. Many pharmaceutical drugs contain opium in
various degrees, and it is believed that paper used in the manufacture of cigarettes is first
impregnated with opium, which is why smokers become so addicted to their habit… To advance to more modern history, the Chinese-British partnership was solidified by the
Hong Kong agreement which established an equal partnership in the opium trade. This
has proceeded smoothly, with an occasional ripple here and there, but while violence and
death, robbery and murder marked the progression of the Colombian cocaine trade, no
such baseness was allowed to disturb the heroin trade, which, as I said earlier, is once
again coming into the ascendancy as we near the end of 1991.

The major problem that arose in Sino-British relations during the past 60 years concerned
China’s demand for a larger slice of the opium-heroin pie. This was settled when Britain
agreed to hand Hong Kong over to full Chinese government control… The British oligarchical families of the Committee of 300 who were entrenched in
Canton at the height of the opium trade left their descendants in position. Look at a list of
prominent British residents in China and you will see the names of members of the
Committee of 300 among them. The same holds good for Hong Kong. These plutocrats
of a feudal era, that they seek to return to the world, control the gold and opium trade of
which Hong Kong is THE center. Burmese and Chinese opium poppy growers get paid in
gold; they do not trust the U.S. paper $100 bill. This explains the very large volume of
gold trade in the Hong Kong exchange….

2025.09.02 – American Stories: 24 Hours Dealing With The Medical Industry

Time for a break from the usual. I will return with more signers next week.

The following recent event happened a month ago in mid July. This is a discussion on the state of medical treatments for an average Joe, who likely represents thousands of patients nationwide each day. In this specific case it is about a close friend and brother in Christ, so it is personal.

For the record, our family’s approach toward the use of the medical industry has evolved into a belief that they are guilty until proven innocent in their motives. As a result we verify first, trust maybe after a great amount of consultation and prayer.

With the rebuild of the medical industry well underway through the Trump administration, it seemed appropriate to do an authored post about this very recent real life experience of our good friend, who has been sharing some of his story on fakebook. The idea for telling this story at all started with my reading this X post from Secretary Robert Kennedy that was shared by TheseTruths on here a few weeks ago.

Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying. The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to… https://t.co/DeiFa2FlEJ

The Back Story

For this true story I will call our friend “Bud”. Some may figure out he was a source for a BIMD story in that Bud is the same one who is long term friends and a former co-worker with country music superstar Morgan Wallen’s dad. Bud is in his early 50’s, married to the love of his life for 20+ years (his third marriage/her second); has three adult children from his first two marriages along with a step daughter from his wife, most of whom have spouses; has nine grandchildren; and has a growing six employee construction business with three family members working in it. He is nearly the same age as my step daughter, who went to high school with him although they did not know each other well.

I became acquainted with Bud a dozen years or so ago when he was referred to me by a neighbor as a good handyman. At the time Bud had been employed long term in the construction industry as a working supervisor in his speciality. However, he had learned a great deal about all aspects of residential and small commercial construction through the years. He also learned more from his father, who had built his own home as well as worked part time for other builders. Bud has been gifted the ability to figure things out and do them the right way when handling home construction, remodeling and repairs. With his after hours handyman workload picking up, he was faced with a decision, should he continue on his own full time or stay in a decent job that had no upside while continuing to moonlight as a handyman.

Over the next year he did work for us and many others around the area. We got better acquainted and learned each other’s life stories, shared our common faith, got to know each other’s families and friends, and so on. He justified my trust enough that we could leave town on a Fall Frolic or other trip and I could give him jobs to do in our absence and never have the first concern about it. He never had to be concerned about getting paid, beating him down on price, or ignoring his recommendations. We treat each other respectfully and fair, but more importantly, we have developed a bond of friendship well beyond the work. We love them and they love us as family.

One day he stopped by our house because he knew my business and banking background. He asked my opinion if he should go full time into his own business, that he felt led to do so and his wife supported whatever decision he made. Her job was good, stable and could provide health insurance. I told him that if the Lord was putting it on his heart, he had no choice. I confirmed that I had never met a more conscientious builder/home repair guy in all my years of lending into the industry as well as with my own, more limited residential home building and ownership experience. I reaffirmed he had the expertise and work ethic to be successful if he had access to good customers that needed his services at fair prices. We talked it through some more and he called me a week later to say he had pulled the trigger. His mid-life crisis at around age 40 was to start a business. 😀

From that point over the next decade his workload and business grew. He and his company are a rarity in an industry populated by a number of crooks, posers, and wannabes.

All of which leads to this current point in time and the related medical industry story.

Medical Emergency

Bud has been experiencing pains in his gut at infrequent, random times for a couple of years. For background purposes; diverticulitis runs in his family, so he attributed the pain to that. He would go to a GI doc, have blood tests and be scoped – nothing. Last month the pain knocked him for a loop and he headed to the nearest hospital ER fast due to the extreme pain. Bud’s wife works in an administrative office in a competing hospital, but there was not enough time to get there.

For those who are wondering, Bud took just the first jab, did not get the second and had nothing after that. He grew uneasy by what was going on. He has also been a half pack a day cigarette smoker. the periodic gut pains had been going on randomly for ten years, just not as acute.

Things started off well; he was seen quickly, admitted, scans/tests run, provided a room, etc. The nursing staff and on staff resident doc examined and gave him a pain med. They told him an assigned surgeon had read the scans and part of his colon was dead. They also saw another spot of concern at the lower end of his colon. The resection surgery would mean he would have to wear a bag for at least 6 months. He is a hands on builder who also does the electrical and plumbing roles himself, so there would be added financial and scheduling burdens from adding subcontractors for this replacement work as a result. Not good – Bud was worried.

They told him he would need a colonoscopy the following morning, then the surgeon (former military doc) would operate the day after that. Bud said if the man would not come to his room and talk to him personally first that he would not be cutting on him. They told him the surgeon was great, but never saw any patient before surgery. Bud’s wife verified that statement was true with her co-workers at the other hospital. Bud told his wife to have him moved to her hospital and find another doc for a second opinion. The current hospital agreed to release him. Then Bud and wife found out how much they would have to pay out of pocket to both hospitals if they did so. They could not afford it and were stuck.

It was at this point that he texted me from his hospital room to update. He said they were working on alternatives. I told him we were praying for him and that my father had exactly the same problem 60 years ago. His surgeon did a similar procedure without using a bag after giving him antibiotics for a serious infection first. My father recovered quickly after the surgery and lived another 40 years without issue. It lifted Bud’s spirits to learn this.

Bud’s daughter is in nursing in a city a couple hours away. She told them to do nothing that evening; to wait for her to get back with them. She had surgical nurse friends that might know a good alternative. So they bedded down for the night. The colonoscopy guy came in early the next morning and told him it was time to do the procedure. Bud said no it wasn’t, the nursing staff never prepped him for it. The guy was then pizzed at the nursing staff. They told him they thought Bud was leaving and going somewhere else. So they start prepping him only to mess it all up. Prep fluids and fecal matter start flowing out everywhere on Bud, the bed, the floor, etc. 😂 They then had to clean him and the room up. After all of that he was taken to be scoped.

Soon after he was brought back to his room a different surgeon (Doc #2) walked into his room. Doc #2 told him that a friend of Bud’s daughter had contacted his office and asked him to give a second opinion. He asked Bud if that was OK and he responded that he was relieved and appreciative. Doc #2 told him he had reviewed the scans, blood tests and exam notes – he indeed appeared to have a partially dead colon. He was relieved to learn from Doc #2 that all scans and tests showed he was negative for cancer, since idgit doc did not let him know anything. Doc #2 did a quick examination. Bud asked him about the spot they wanted to check with the colonoscopy. He responded that it was just a small amount of fecal matter that showed up in the scans. Bud asked what would happen after the surgery that was scheduled the next day. Doc #2 asked, “What surgery?” Then proceeded to explain there would not be surgery for several months unless his condition worsened if he chose to use his services.

Bud was puzzled at this point. Doc #2 told him he would first prescribe a series of antibiotics to clear the infection that set up in his colon that was causing the pain. Once it was cleared up he would do more scans and know more about its condition before doing any surgery. Bud asked why the idgit surgeon did not diagnose the infection so that antibiotics could be used first? Doc #2 rolled his eyes, but refused to speculate. Bud asked him if he would have to wear a bag after the surgery. Doc #2 said nope, he would remove the dead section and close. He predicted if all went well he would have a recovery time in the hospital of about four days afterwards. Bud decided to press his luck and told Doc #2 that he had a long planned vacation to FL before this happened that was supposed to start in two days. Doc #2 said to go, take the meds, and do no heavy lifting. The couple’s four grandkids who were going with them received the good news and were elated.

Bud called to give me an update after the exam. He thanked us for the prayers. I asked him if they fire hosed him and the room down after the colonoscopy prep. He had a good laugh, so I knew the pain meds were working well.

Sometimes the difference 24 hours can make is mind boggling. God is so good. All we have to do is to learn to wait and pay attention.

I talked with Bud again a few days afterwards as he was laying under a canopy at the hotel pool. His wife drove them down, he was feeling much better, the antibiotics seemed to be helping. His pain was minimal. It had dawned on him fully that the Lord still has plans for him springing from this crisis in his life.

God’s Provision

Bud’s father came to the Christian faith later in life at around age 40. He had lived rough up to that point. He was a former hard living Vietnam vet and factory worker. When he accepted Christ he changed dramatically and made a positive impact on the lives of his wife and children. This eventually led to him becoming a pastor in a small church in a poverty stricken community in his time off from his factory job. The church flourished and became a light to the community. Lives were changed. He retired recently at age 70. He is one of the finest men I have ever met.

During his father’s first visit that evening with Bud in the hospital he pointed out that God did not want him to go to the other hospital or it would have been an open door with the right surgeon provided and nothing would be getting in his way. He urged Bud to be patient and wait on God to provide what was best. The next day it all changed for the better.

I initially brought this story because of the ridiculous handing of the medical diagnosis and treatment of my friend. He was at a very vulnerable point and the medical system was set up against him. Had Bud and his wife not stood their ground he may have been butchered or given a death sentence by this grievous error. Had his daughter not solicited help for a second opinion from a reputable, competent surgeon they may have given in and had it done when all he needed immediately was antibiotics and rest. He should have been given options on treatment and surgery. The idgit surgeon had to know it was an option to try to heal the infection before any surgery, but refused to speak with the patient and was going to cut him open anyway. The untreated infection could have easily caused the surgery to be a failure. It also could have led to more of his colon being removed than was necessary as well. This would have affected Bud’s quality of life. Idgit’s actions were malpractice with what could be considered as malicious intent in my opinion

I shudder to think about what COULD have been if they had not delayed the decision and sought a second opinion under God’s guidance. There was potential for a tragic loss to loved ones, employees, customers, church and community.

In truth, at some point Bud could have been reduced to an organ donor by simply going to a hospital to be healed of something that has commonly been treated successfully in the manner that Doc #2 is using just as my own father’s situation was handled sixty years ago. Which makes me wonder about how many other people go through experiences similar to these throughout the nation on a daily basis.

As I finish this story, I need to relay a more recent conversation with Bud. He went to a scheduled appointment with Doc #2. After exam and tests he determined that the infection is being handled well. It is now time to start the pre-surgery preparation, which will be in early October as compared to the Idgit’s desires. It will be robotic with a laparoscopic incision to reduce chances for infection and improve healing time. Idgit planned traditional surgery with the bag. I doubt he would have even been capable of doing what Doc #2 is planning, who is obviously much more qualified. Bud also learned Idgit was planing to leave on a two week vacation the next day after the scheduled surgery. Hard to believe, but true.

Once again the lesson is to wait on the Lord.

In preparation Doc #2 wants Bud to do a one mile fitness walk every day to build his core stronger and ready for the surgery. The couple live on top of a hill and the road has a steep incline, so building his core should not be a problem. His wife is also using it as an opportunity to improve her health as they walk together in the evenings. A revised diet has started with no red meat, no desserts, more water, less caffeine, soft foods, etc. The third thing was addressed with him eye to eye – Doc #2 ordered him to quit smoking if he wanted to live. He wants all of the nicotine and stuff out of his system over the next two months to improve his chances for a full recovery. Bud is on board with it and began immediately.

Doc #2 plans to have him out of the hospital in four days post surgery as predicted previously. He will be under a no lifting restriction for three months to keep the bag away. Needless to say, Bud has no problem with complying and has employees who can handle the heavy lifting.

He is in an introspective, more joyful state of mind now. He is thinking things through and waiting on the Lord to give him clarity about how to proceed with his life from here. Selfishly and from the cheap seats, I would tell him to keep doing what he is doing. He just needs to take more time to decompress and enjoy the blessings in his life. So many people need the presence of this man until the Lord calls him home.

If you get a spare moment, please pray for Bud’s healing. Then take time to let others you care about know what they mean to you. If you need a medical provider, keep your eyes and options open. As we see in this story; there are sincere, competent professionals you can trust. There are also money hungry losers with no concern for you. Take nothing at face value, ask questions, consult with others you trust, and spend time with the Lord to gain clarity. Do not allow yourself to be set up to be a potential organ donor.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

I decided to overwrite the word placeholder with the word tephrochronology, which seems a bit symbolic if not illustrative of the idea.

MUSIC!

When I was a kid, I had a young Ozark-bred hippie neighbor kid who loved these guys. My neighbor was a good guy. Probably took too many drugs, but he was OK.

Speaking of this song, I’m wishing Daughn well, wherever she is now!

THE STUFF

This is one of the best testimonies of belief in Christ that I have ever seen.

I always liked this lady on OAN, but now I know a bit more about her.

OK – let’s have some music history to go along with that music!

He was always an interesting guy.

Just sayin’!

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….
