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.”
Give Thanks . . . IN Everything
In a very practical section of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he encourages his readers to give thanks in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18). In the immediate context, he had exhorted them to rejoice always (verse 16) and to pray without ceasing (verse 17). These are recognizable characteristics of a person who is encouraged and growing in his or her faith. The first two are easy enough to understand – being joyful and prayerful are not complex ideas. But Paul’s instruction that the Thessalonian believers should give thanks in everything presents a unique challenge.
It is worth noting that Paul doesn’t tell them to give thanks for everything. The preposition used in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 is the Greek en, which is best translated by the English preposition in. Paul isn’t telling them they must be thankful for the difficulties they were encountering; instead, he is challenging them to be thankful in any circumstance. Paul recognized that the secret of contentment isn’t found in circumstances. Rather, there is contentment in recognizing it is Christ who strengthens us for whatever we might face (Philippians 4:11–13).
It is also evident that God allows things in our lives to help us grow to be more like Christ – in fact, that pursuit (Christlikeness) is the primary purpose God has for us in sanctification (being set apart or holy). If God works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28) and that good is that we would be more like Christ (verse 29), then we can expect that He even uses hardship in our lives to help shape us to be more like Him. Because He works for that purpose in our lives, we can be filled with gratitude, knowing that there is purpose even in the difficulties we can’t understand.
In Romans 5:3 Paul uses even stronger language than he uses in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – he explains that we can exult or rejoice even in suffering because of what the suffering produces in us. Suffering brings perseverance; perseverance develops proven or tested character; character that has been tested develops hope; and God’s kind of hope never disappoints. If God can use suffering and trials that way, to help us mature, then those experiences are worth it. Like Paul encourages the Corinthians, the momentary afflictions we encounter in this life are producing what he calls an “eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17). Paul adds that the sufferings we encounter today are nothing compared to the glory we will see in the future (Romans 8:18). In other words, it is all worth it.
If we have this kind of big-picture perspective, we can give thanks in everything because we understand how God is using those things in our lives to grow us now and in the future. Jesus illustrates the principle for His disciples in John 16:21: the pain of childbirth is exceedingly severe, and during labor it might not seem worth it at all. But when a mother holds her newborn, she is no longer considering the pain but only the joy that has been produced. In the same way, we can give thanks in all things, knowing that the difficulties, hardships, and sufferings are like the pains of labor, and that the outcome of proven character and certain hope is like holding the newborn baby. There is power in understanding what God has revealed about how He causes us to grow. His methods may be painful at times (see Hebrews 12:7–11), but the outcome is the peaceful fruit of righteousness. When our perspective is informed by His Word, giving thanks in everything makes perfect sense. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/give-thanks-in-everything.html
One big reason to give thanks to God during all our circumstances, no matter how bad they may seem, is that as fallible human beings of limited understanding, we don’t have and can’t have a realistic comprehension of the magnitude of the freedom and glory (not to mention the peace and joy) that will be ours as children of God.
Romans 8:18-21 (paraphrased) – Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the freedom and glory that will be revealed in us as the children of God.

American Stories. (A series)
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.
It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.
This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.
And no, I own no bitcoin. Full disclosure: In about 2010 I set up a bit coin miner on a R. Pi in a hotel room while working “on the road” as a computer “rent a guy with brains” aka “consultant”. It never found a single bigcoin and that likely colored my opinions. I personally find the idea of “digital assets” foreign. I prefer gold, silver, and platinum (natures limited assets 😉 and they have done well for me. BUT: I missed the entire Bitcoin ramp from about 25¢ per coin to now about $100,000 (modulo swings of 50%).
Do I regret it? Nope. There is no inherent value in Bitcoin or any other artificial scarcity “asset”. Like cards for “Magic the gathering” it is a social construct, not a real thing. I have a blindness to that. Just can’t get interested in things that are “social constructs” as I am obligatory Reality Centered. Yes, you can make a lot of money out of the idiocy of it; but I can’t and won’t. I see it as an entirely artificial construct from the start and “just can’t go there” due to the risk of people just changing their minds about it.
So no, I don’t “endorse” this guy. BUT he does give me insight into “them” and their behaviours.
He’s a hard core bit coin advocate and at about 18 minutes pushes a “digital wallet”. Whatever. His observations about Chase bank and Mr. Diamond are interesting and likely have some worth. To what extent is our world owned and manipulated by TLAs? Things to ponder.
Bitcoin ETF? Blackrock? Everything about this stuff smells, to Slow Guy.
Texas Takes First Step Toward State Bitcoin Reserve with $5 Million ETF Purchase
Texas has invested $5 million in a bitcoin ETF as an initial move toward establishing the first state-based crypto reserve in the U.S.
CoinDesk reports that Texas has purchased $5 million worth of shares in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) exchange-traded fund (ETF). The investment, confirmed by a spokesman for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, serves as a placeholder as the state continues working toward directly holding bitcoin in its own reserve.
The purchase comes after Texas passed legislation earlier this year, appropriating $10 million to fund the creation of a state-managed bitcoin stockpile, known as the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. As part of the process, Texas recently concluded an information-gathering phase, soliciting input from the crypto industry on best practices for implementing and managing such a reserve.
While Texas is not the first state entity to invest government funds in a crypto-based ETF, with states like Michigan and Wisconsin having previously allocated pension fund money to similar investments, it marks a significant step toward a state directly holding and managing its own cryptocurrency reserve.
Rainmaker seeks to refill depleted Great Salt Lake
“Rainmaker, a US startup, is attempting to use cloud seeding to increase snowfall in Utah, thereby replenishing the Great Salt Lake,” reports The Doomslayer.
The Great Salt Lake is severely depleted, about 500,000 acre feet below its threshold.
Snow Brains says that
Rainmaker is a company that increases snowpack by utilizing cloud seeding and operates over the course of the winter to increase snowfall by about 10-20%. This fall, Rainmaker will commence the largest American cloud seeding program in modern history. Its operations in the Bear River Basin, the largest watershed feeding the Great Salt Lake, will increase water supply and support drought resilience in Utah, Idaho, and other Western states….
In Utah, the state receives 95% of its water supply from snowpack during the winter, and cloud seeding can be a game-changer. Therefore, Rainmaker targets maximizing this snowpack, linking winter recreation to spring and summer water needs, with campaigns like “Save Our Snow” and “Snow to Stream Flow.” By increasing Utah’s snowpack, it not only brings more snow to the slopes at ski resorts in the winter, but it also provides more sustainable drinkable water in the summer for farmers, cities, and communities.
Parker Cardwell of Rainmaker says its “main focus is to increase snowpack, which is the same snow that we’re skiing on in the wintertime, and is the same water that you’re drinking in the springtime.”
Rainmaker uses drones and advanced radar in its system to increase snowfall.

Trump, After Call With China’s Xi, Told Tokyo to Lower the Volume on Taiwan
Japan, a U.S. ally that had angered China on Taiwan, found the message worrying
Chinese leader Xi Jinping was angry, and President Trump was listening.
Days after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi outraged China by suggesting a Chinese attack on Taiwan could mobilize a Tokyo military response, Xi spent half of an hourlong phone call with Trump, people briefed on the matter said, hammering home China’s historic claim to the democratic self-governing island as well as Washington and Beijing’s joint responsibility to manage the world order.
Later the same day, Trump set up a call with Takaichi and advised her not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan’s sovereignty, said Japanese officials and an American briefed on the call. The advice from Trump was subtle, and he didn’t pressure Takaichi to walk back her comments, those briefed on the calls said.
The Japanese officials said the message was worrying: The president didn’t want friction over Taiwan to endanger a detente reached last month with Xi, which includes a promise to buy more agricultural products from American farmers hit hard by the trade war.
Asked about the exchange with Takaichi, the White House issued a statement from Trump to The Wall Street Journal: “The United States relationship with China is very good, and that’s also very good for Japan, who is our dear and close ally. Getting along with China is a great thing for China and the U.S. In my opinion, President Xi will be substantially upping his purchase of soybean and other farm products, and anything good for our farmers is good for me.”
Putin’s scientists launch chilling squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants
The tech firm has already tampered with cow brains in a bid to boost milk yields, now it’s time for pigeons
VLADIMIR Putin’s scientists have launched a squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants.
A Kremlin-backed Moscow neurotechnology firm boasts its operators can steer flocks across the sky by zapping signals directly into their brain.
Russia’s sick “bird-biodrones” codenamed PJN-1 are ordinary pigeons surgically implanted with neural chips that allow technicians to direct their routes.
Field tests are being carried out using birds with electrodes inserted into their brains connected to tiny solar-powered backpacks containing onboard electronics, GPS tracking, and a receiver.
Russian tech firm Neiry chillingly claims “no training is required” and birds can be steered remotely in any direction.
Neiry claims the birds can fly 310 miles a day, or more than 1,850 miles in a week on spy missions but bigger birds may soon be weaponised.
Trump: South Africa to be excluded from 2026 G20 Summit
President Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will not receive an invitation to the 2026 G20 Summit, which is set for December in Miami, Florida, at his Trump National Doral resort.
Trump tied this to the U.S. boycott of the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, over human rights abuses against White Afrikaner farmers, including killings and land seizures. Additionally, he accused South Africa of refusing to hand over G20 presidency responsibilities to a U.S. Embassy representative.
“At my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year. South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere,” Trump wrote on Truth Social platform on Friday.
The 47th president noted that the United States did not attend the prior summit in South Africa “because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers.”
Russia Unable to Send Astronauts to Space for First Time Since 1961
Damage to a Russian launch site has stopped Moscow from sending people into space for the first time in over six decades, it has been reported.
Moscow’s space agency Roscosmos said that Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan had sustained damage during a launch on Thursday carrying Russian and American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
But Russian space bloggers said the damage to Russia’s only launch site for crewed missions was more serious than authorities were claiming.
One expert, Vitaly Egorov, said if the damage is as suspected, Moscow will have lost the ability to launch people into space for the first time since it put the first human in orbit in 1961. Newsweek has contacted Roscosmos for comment.
Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan was damaged on Thursday following the launch of a manned Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station, the Roscosmos space agency said.
Hong Kong apartment fire tests Beijing-backed rule as angermounts
With elections looming, the fire undercuts the government’s insistence it can cater to people’s needs without giving them a greater say in who rules the city.
The fire that blazed through a cramped Hong Kong apartment complex and killed at least 128 people this week has become a major test for the city’s Beijing-backed leaders, who have tried to win back public trust after mass protests by promising better lives for everyday Hong Kongers.
Hong Kong authorities have said that the flames spread unusually quickly across the eight towers of government-subsidized housing. Dozens of WangFuk Court’s 4,600 residents were trapped inside the 31-story buildings as the inferno burned for 43 hours before being largely doused by 10:18 a.m. local time Friday.
FIRST ON 7: Nearly 400 gallons of fuel dumped into wrong home with no oil tank in Medford
MEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) – Hazmat crews were called to a home in Medford Monday after an oil delivery driver dumped 383 gallons of heating oil into a home that had a fill pipe but no oil tank, according to officials.
Officials said the Fawcett Oil delivery driver went to the right address, but in the wrong city. Instead of going to 48 Linwood Street in Malden, he went to 48 Linwood Street in Medford.
Fire officials said the driver attached the hose to the fillup pipe on the side of the house, but that pipe was not connected to any oil tanks — so 383 gallons of oil ended up in the home’s basement.
“Oil delivery driver pulled up to the wrong address,” said Medford Deputy Fire Chief Nick Davis. “Put 385 gallons of oil into a basement with no oil tank.”
Residents of the two family home quickly evacuated and the area was sealed off.
“It smelled very bad,” said Dang Nguyen, the homeowner. “Even, you know, I’m living in the second floor and I smell. I came home and came in to drop something off and it smelled very bad.”
Crews began cleanup using shovels and speedy dry. They first tried to contain then remove the oil with the Department of Environmental Protection on the scene.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications by 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 AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated content within linked URLs. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.
Yours Truly is thankful that our gracious host, Wolf Moon, has established this blog to be a haven for truth; to be a place for honest discussion (and honest disagreement, too); to be a place for the sharing of life’s joys, and of life’s difficulties and sorrows; as a place for those who come to this Tree to encourage and support one another. One is grateful to be an author on this blog; grateful for all the other authors on this blog, including our gracious host; grateful for all who comment.
Yours Truly is grateful to those Pilgrims who came to Plymouth Rock, and to those earlier colonists who came to what is now the Commonwealth of Virginia (courtesy of our good Aubergine providing this latter knowledge), to establish a country based on freedom and on the Divine Providence of the Supreme Being: the country which became the United States of America. Yours Truly is grateful for her grandparents and great-grandparents who left their homes in England, Ireland, and Scotland, to come to the United States to make new lives for themselves, to marry, and to raise their children in this country.
———————————————————————-
And, on the concept of gratefulness: Yours Truly is also grateful for one particular thing: the successful completion of the difficult, time-consuming (seven months long), physician-supervised process of “tapering-down the dose, then weaning off, leading to discontinuation” of the SSRI prescription drug that she had been taking, on and off, for six years. (SSRI = Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.)
Yours Truly was put on this SSRI in February 2019, after being diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic [or, Posttraumatic] Stress Disorder) following the death of my late husband. Please see the screenshot below, from Psychiatry.org/, “What is Posttraumatic Stress Disoder (PTSD)?”, reviewed by Donald Egan, M.D., March 2025 [1]:
In Yours Truly’s case, the PTSD was one of “delayed onset”, meaning that the symptoms began to appear months after my husband’s death.
Anti-depressant drugs are routinely prescribed by healthcare professionals for persons who are diagnosed with PTSD. Below is a screenshot from the Cleveland Clinic regarding SSRIs [2]:
Note the phrase above regarding SSRIs – that “they tend to cause fewer and milder side effects compared to other options.” Let’s look at the side effects lists for the SSRI that Yours Truly had been taking, paroxetine (Paxil), from Drugs.com/ [3]. Paroxetine is available in several different formulations — tablet; oral suspension; extended-release tablet; and, capsule. The Mayo Clinic list of paroxetine‘s brand names is: Brisdelle; Paxil; Paxil CR;, and, Pexeva [4].
How can any of the side effects listed above be called “fewer and milder”? Let’s take a look at only one of the side effects lists of paroxetine from Drugs.com/, from the For healthcare professionals section [5]:
The For healthcare professionals section lists of paroxetine side effects includes eighteen different areas, from General to Endocrine, that have adverse reactions and/or side effects from the use of this drug. Literally every organ or function of the human body is interfered with, and/or could be damaged by, paroxetine use. How can any of this be described as “fewer and milder” side effects?
Dr. Robert Malone, MD, penned a recent blog article, “Well Being: Selective Serotonin ReUptake Inhibitors (SSRI)”, regarding the routine prescribing of SSRIs by physicians [6]. Please see the screenshots, below, from his article:
A Midwestern Doctor, in their blog, has written extensively regarding the dangers of SSRIs; the multiple marketing and other ploys used to acclimate physicians to prescribing them, and patients to take them; and how difficult it is to follow the process of taper down the dose, wean off the drug, and have it finally discontinued. The following screenshots are from these articles: first, “The Dark Side of Antidepressants”, of 24 January 2025 [7]. Note: Some of the articles from A Midwestern Doctor are accessible in the entirety only if the reader subscribes (for free); and/or becomes a paying subscriber.
Then, from their article, “The Hidden Dangers of Antidepressants and Why They’re So Hard To Stop Taking”, [8] 9 February 2025:
And, from their article, “”Why Are Antidepressants So Harmful?”, [9] 26 November 2023:
Yours Truly was fortunate so have been able to get the taper down – wean off – discontinue process successfully completed (as regards stopping the taking of paroxetine) in about six months. However, the “wiring” of one’s brain to accept this SSRI and allow it to operate within the brain began in early 2019, when I was put on the drug by the PCP after diagnosis of PTSD. Thus, even with the discontinuation of the physical process of taking the drug, the “rewiring” of the brain back to pre-use of the drug is ongoing. One already feels much better since the “endemic physical effects” of the drug have ceased. One has also made a decision to never take another psychotropic drug.
What has helped Yours Truly to make real progress in “rewiring” the brain after the paroxetine discontinuation process was completed? A daily program that includes:
Probiotics (this includes yogurt)
Vitamin D, 2500IU
Vitamin C, 3000mg
Walking and free-weights exercise
Exposure to sunshine
Being well-hydrated
Cutting sugar, cutting simple carbohydrates, replacing them with complex carbohydrates, and using very little honey as a sweetener
Eating meat, eggs, and fish, rotating these during the week
Eating more green vegetables
Journaling — meditating — connecting with the Divine
Getting out and doing things — being with family; walking the dog; working in the yard
Reducing / eliminating stressors to the extent possible
Attitude — one is absolutely determined to “rewire” the brain back to pre-SSRI
———————————————————————-
Let’s take a look at serotonin, the crucially important element that the human gut makes — and which is the “target” of SSRIs. Below are screenshots from the 2022 Cleveland Clinic article, “What is serotonin?” [10]:
And, regarding the “gut-brain axis”, an article, “That gut feeling”, Dr. Siri Carpenter, [11] 1 September 2012, a screenshot from which is below:
Yours Truly does not fault the physician who started one on paroxetine in early 2019, nor the physician-therapist who continued the drug until I had had enough of the side effects by September 2024 and requested to go through the process to taper down — wean off — discontinue the drug. They were following conventional medical “recommendations.” However, Yours Truly, by the late summer of 2024, had also done enough research to understand that SSRIs are dangerous and addictive, that the decision to request going through the process was what had to be done. How many people taking SSRIs do the research necessary to understand what these drugs are doing to their bodies and their brains? Why don’t physicians who prescribe SSRIs (or, indeed, any psychotropic drug) caution the patient that there are multiple and potentially serious side effects and/or adverse reactions to these drugs? Why don’t physicians make it their business to ensure that, unless there is clear indication that the patient needs a higher dose, to start the patient on the lowest possible dose of an SSRI, and at the the first indication that the patient is having real trouble with side effects and/or adverse reactions, to begin the process of taper down — wean off — discontinue the drug; while, at the same time, ensuring that the patient starts or continues therapeutic counseling and healthy lifestyle changes? Similarly, why don’t physicians make it their business to ensure that, there is clear indication that the patient needs a higher dose of an SSRI drug, to start and keep the patient on the lowest possible dose?
The human gut is where over 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced. The human brain produces 10% or less of the body’s serotonin. Because of the “gut-brain axis” system in the body, serotonin produced in the gut “travels” to the brain via the bloodstream. Why aren’t physicians trained in the nutritional knowledge necessary to counsel patients with emotional/psychological issues to eat foods that would assist in proper and healthy serotonin production — foods such as, salmon, eggs, cheese, nuts, and turkey? Why don’t physicians realize that taking SSRI drugs actually block the normal “gut-brain axis travel” of serotonin to the brain — leaving the brain with only a small amount of serotonin; and which low level of serotonin is targeted by SSRI drugs? [12]
Yes, there are circumstances in which a physician makes the decision that the emotional/psychological issues of the patient warrant the need for that patient to take an SSRI. However, Yours Truly believes that, in addition to the SSRI, the patient needs to be counseled to eat foods that will help the gut produce healthy serotonin in proper amounts, to get out into the sunshine, to move their body, to get restful sleep, to have therapeutic psychological counseling if necessary; and, to understand that what they’re experiencing isn’t just “all in their head” — it’s also “that gut feeling.”

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!

Being full of Chinese take-out and having started Thanksgiving cooking without the matriarch, I’m digging up an old opener. Since Twitter/X is being tempermental, not many current items. Anti-Thanksgiving? UnAmerican at best, treason more likely. So, …
2025 – 11/27 – Wolf Moon – I am thankful for every post we had from Deplorable Patriot, and especially her Thanksgiving posts. God bless her, and her family and friends!
I also thank God for President Trump, Vice President Marine Corps Dude (apparently another VSG), and every White Hat who is working to restore integrity to our government. I am thankful to Q – whoever he is, and wherever he is – and to all the anons who helped Q help President Trump. I am thankful to Sundance and the Treepers who brought us here, and to the patriots at Tea Party Connection, including Dixie, who brought me to CTH.
It has been a long road, but it has been a good road.
God bless you all – each and every one of you. To you – and to all our fallen fellow Treepers and QTreepers – a special thank you, for sacrificing some of the best parts of your golden years to help President Trump Make America Great Again.
I was going to write about NGOs, but the info in Monday’s comments changed my mind. Given the situation I will write about NGOs next week instead. I was going to add them but it doubled the length of the article.

It’s quite literally a color revolution. The democracy playbook people like Norm Eisen or Gene Sharp don’t like breaking it out into explicit stages because it implies that color revolutions aren’t organic. So I had to assemble it from scratch using their own writings. Here are the steps, and they’re trying to do Step 6:

Do not forget that The CIA orchestrated the US wars against regimes (called communist) that resisted the Oligarchs rape of their natural resources and enslavement of their people.
I wrote that thinking ofGuatemala’s overthrow by the CIA at the request of United Fruit and IranContra. Also based on the information from Colonel Towner.
Stalin denial is as bad a look at Holocaust denial. Maybe worse!
Not saying these oligarchs are good guys. But the Castro regime – way worse, IMO.
Street scene, Havana. Arien Chang Castán
Actually I have not thought much about Cuba except for the Cuban mathematician I worked with, Baby Castro installed in British controlled Canada, and the CIA proposed False Flag using Cubans that probably got JFK killed.
One question is: Were the Brits involved with installing Castro?
Let’s start with the origin of communism.
I will go with Promethean Action’s take. You can trace it back to the British Empire/globalist cartel.
…Richard Poe, among other researchers, identifies the hand behind these actions as the British, courtesy of MI6 and
GCHQ, who have all the skills. The British oligarchy, the City of London, in bed with their secret services, have been, he believes, for two centuries and counting seeding revolution and chaos in every country, in order to maintain their dominance of the financial markets. The British,
he says, created the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadi movement in order to profit off war and oil in the Mideast. All that money western nations send to the ME is harvested by the globalist gang. The Ukraine war, too, is yet another attempt of the British to destroy Russia, something they have been doing for centuries, and of course and always to loot America’s public funds. Little wonder “the Anglo-Saxon” is the term used to delineate evil in Russia. Yes, of course elements of the Jewish community are all in, and of course it is coordinated across all intelligence agencies most importantly, the CIA. But the British invented it. They are the GOAT….
The Untold Story of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, MI6, and the Russian Revolution
Greedy for power and Persian oil fields, King George V of England (right) plotted the overthrow of his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (left).
SUMMARY: Was the Bolshevik Revolution fake? Was Lenin’s 1917 coup little more than a “color revolution,” a staged event, orchestrated by foreign intelligence services? Strong evidence suggests that it was. In the 1920s, prominent Russian exiles accused Great Britain of plotting the Tsar’s downfall. George Buchanan, British ambassador to Russia from 1910 to 1918, devoted 16 pages of his 1923 memoir to denying this charge. But the charge was true. The British secret services had destabilized Russia, just as they had previously destabilized France in 1789. They had infiltrated and weaponized the Bolsheviks, just as they had previously weaponized the Jacobin movement against Louis XVI. While the Tsar was technically Britain’s ally in World War I, British elites feared that a victorious Russia would threaten Britain’s global dominance. Bolshevism provided the solution, demolishing the Tsar’s once-mighty empire, and plunging Russia into chaos and civil war. — RICHARD POE
“THIS MOVEMENT among the Jews is not new,” wrote Winston Churchill. “From the days of … Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation… has been steadily growing.”1
Churchill was talking about communism.
It was February 8, 1920. As Churchill wrote, all eyes were on Russia, where Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks— “Reds” and “Whites”—were battling for control of the country.
Before it was over, some 10 million people would die in the Russian Civil War, mostly civilians, and mostly from disease, famine, and mass atrocities on both sides. From this slaughter, the world’s first communist state would emerge.2
Churchill blamed it all on a “worldwide conspiracy” of Jews.
In a full-page article in London’s Illustrated Sunday Herald, Churchill wrote: “There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. … [T]he majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. … Litvinoff… Trotsky… Zinoviev… Radek—all Jews.”
Churchill declared that the subversive role of “Jewish revolutionaries… in proportion to their number in the population” was “astonishing,” not only in Russia, but throughout Europe…
From Winston Churchill to the Rolling Stones, Cuba has hosted its fair share of famous Britons over the years. But the first official royal visit by the Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall in 2019 heralds an important shift in Her Majesty’s Government’s longstanding policy towards the island.
Until recently, little had changed since 1898, when the US intervened to end Spanish colonial rule in Cuba and Britain largely surrendered to growing US dominance in the Caribbean sphere. But Britain’s soft power play today indicates an alignment with Barack Obama’s 2014 diplomatic re-engagement with the island, rather than Donald Trump’s rolling back of this initiative. Obama judged the 54-year-long US trade blockade a failure, and ordered the unfreezing of Cold War-era policy….
With other Western countries exploiting economic openings in Cuba – and Britain keen to compete with them more openly – does only Trump’s administration stand in the way?…
An analysis of Cuba’s history from a British diplomatic perspective during the period of US political and economic domination, from 1898 to 1964. It investigates how Britain attempted to protect its trade and other interests in the island, whilst always sensitive to the reactions of its most important ally, the United States.

One question. Cuba is a small (42,800 sq mi, about the size of VA) supposedly impoverished island. WHERE ARE ALL THE FUNDS TO OVER THROW GOVERNMENTS COMING FROM??
… At the Cuban Revolution of 1953–1959, during the military dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, Cuba was on a growth trajectory within Latin America….
Support from Venezuela
Venezuela is the largest trading partner to Cuba and is widely considered to be systemically important to the Cuban economy.[112][113] Since the 1990s, the two nations have shared a close relationship and have maintained strong economic collaboration.[114][115] Initial trading was centered on exchanging Venezuelan oil for visiting Cuban doctors in a form of medical diplomacy.[116][117] Venezuelan investors are the only foreign investor allowed to hold 100% ownership in businesses, with all other foreign investors requiring joint investment with Cuba. According to Carmelo Mesa-Lago, a Cuban-born U.S. economist, in nominal terms, the Venezuelan subsidy is higher than the subsidy which the Soviet Union gave to Cuba.[113] In 2012, Venezuela accounted for 20.8% of Cuba’s GDP, while Cuba only accounted for roughly 4% of Venezuela’s.[118] The Venezuelan economy has been in complete collapse since 2010, hampering its ability to support Cuba.[119][120]
Support from the Soviet Union, Russia and China are also detailed. Cuba is the dark blue line.
In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s corruption.
Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the United Fruit Company — now known as Chiquita Brands International — controlled vast swaths of Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic exploitation.
But in the 1940s, a democratic revolution and calls for justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the White House — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous Communist administration in the process…
John Foster Dulles and Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955.
United Fruit couldn’t sit by and wait. It needed the support of the American government to stop Arbenz.
This was the 1950s — the early years of the Cold War — and so United Fruit began a strategy that framed Guatemala as a Communist foe in the U.S. press.
Their mission was helped by the company’s connections. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was a former lawyer for United Fruit. His brother Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA, was formerly on United Fruit’s Board of Directors. And the company’s PR Executive, Ed Whitman, was married to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personal secretary, Ann Whitman.
United Fruit didn’t need to push hard. Eisenhower was eager to show the world his anti-Communist credentials. Under Eisenhower’s orders, the CIA began crafting Operation PBSuccess in August 1953…
To achieve this goal, the CIA recruited a disgruntled ex-Arbenz military officer named Carlos Castillo Armas. Armas rallied anti-government sentiment and pieced together an army of a few hundred men, supplied and supported with U.S. equipment and intelligence under Operation PBSuccess.
On June 18, 1954, Armas and his men attacked with the help of logistical support from the U.S. The CIA began by launching a propaganda campaign, warning the Guatemalan public and Arbenz that a major invasion was underway, setting up a clandestine radio station that jammed Guatemalan signals and flooded the airwaves with greatly exaggerated messages.
…The CIA’s psychological warfare succeeded. Panic overtook the capital and Arbenz’s supporters began losing faith. And when he attempted to raise his own militia, only a few hundred civilians showed up.
On June 27, 1954, just nine days later, Arbenz resigned. He sought asylum at the Mexican embassy and later fled the country….

How Eddie Bernays, the United Fruit Company, and the CIA overthrew the Guatemalan Government
Excerpt from Adam Curtis’ BBC documentary, “Century of Self,” detailing Eddie Bernays’ influence in helping United Fruit and the CIA overthrow the democratically elected leader of Guatemala.
IMPORTANT EXCERPTS FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
… influence of the Freud family in America was about to grow even more politicians were about to turn to Anna Freud cousin Edward Bernays for help in a time of crisis he was going to manipulate the inner feelings and fears of the masses to help America’s politicians fight the Cold War….
…at this point Edward Bernays was living in New York in the 1920s he had invented the profession of public relations and was now one of the most powerful PR men in America he worked for most of the major corporations and advised politicians including President Eisenhower like his uncle Sigmund Bernays was convinced that human beings were driven by irrational forces the only way to deal with the public was to connect with their unconscious desires and affairs Bernays argued that instead of trying to reduce people’s fear of communism one should actually encourage and manipulate the fear but in such a way as it became a weapon in the Cold War rational argument was fruitless what my father understood about groups is that they are manipulandum arable and that that you can tap into their deepest desires or their deepest fears and use up to your own purposes I don’t think you felt that all those public’s out there had reliable judgment that they very easily might vote for the wrong man or want the wrong thing so that they had to be guided from above one of the bonuses main clients was the giant United Fruit Company they owned vast banana plantations in Guatemala in Central America…
…taking United Fruit again as a commercial client out of the picture and making it look like a question of American democracy American values being threatened in reality árbenz was a Democratic Socialist with no links to Moscow but Bernays set out to turn him into a communist threat to America..
…with the United Fruit Company the CIA trained and armed rebel army and found a new leader for the country called Colonel Armas the CIA agent in charge was Howard hunt later one of the Watergate burglars what we wanted to do was have a terror campaign to terrify our beds particularly terrify his troops …just rendered everybody paralyzed as planes flown by CIA pilots dropped bombs on Guatemala City Edward Bernays carried on his propaganda campaign in the American press he was preparing the American population to see this as the liberation of Guatemala by freedom fighters for democracy
He totally understood that the coup would happen when the public and the press, when conditions in the public & in the press allowed for [it] to happen And he created those conditions He was totally savvy in terms of just what he was helping create there, in terms of this overthrow but ultimately he was reshaping reality reshaping public opinion in a way that’s undemocratic and manipulative. On June 27th 1954 Colonel Arbenz fled the country and Armas arrived as the new leader within months Vice President Nixon visited Guatemala in an event staged by United fruits PR department it was shown piles of Marxist literature that had been found it was said in the presidential palace.… [FBI photos of classified docs at Mar-a-logo anyone? – GC]
Now compare that to what Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action is telling us. H/T scott467(@scott467)
British Empire’s Psy-War Against MAGA: How They’re Trying to Stop Trump’s Peace
“In this episode, Barbara Boyd discusses President Trump’s peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war and its monumental implications. The proposed plan may lead to the end of the British Financial Empire and spark a new human Renaissance.
Trump’s realist approach centers on acknowledging ground realities and working toward Ukrainian sovereignty and rebuilding. The script also highlights Trump’s criticism of the Washington status quo and the psychological warfare against MAGA supporters. Vice President Vance’s insights on MAGA’s challenges and the economic strategies are also examined. Boyd delves into the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the peace plan, including infrastructural projects like the Bering Strait Tunnel and the potential collapse of NATO. ”
Tucker and MTG have fallen into a British imperial trap—the same one used for centuries to pit patriots against their own interests. Trump’s foreign policy IS his domestic policy. You can’t rebuild America while the Empire controls global trade.
The Monday Brief – British Intelligence Lures the Young to Kill Trump’s Revolution – November 17, 2025
As Trump’s economic policies finally deliver real gains to working Americans, British intelligence has launched a new operation—targeting Gen Z and MAGA’s youth wing. We expose the regime change playbook aimed at splintering the movement that shocked the establishment in 2024.
Finally we have yesterday’s longer video which I wished had continued much longer than it did.
I lead today’s thread with a question, followed by others that are related.
Would you be hard line or reconciliatory with those who worked or fought against you and the colonists in the quest for independence, freedom and liberty? We have seen many examples of each with our Declaration signers. All of it led to differing results, historical significance, and sometimes interesting or unexpected conclusions to their lives.
I ask because we are in a similar war today. It is just as messy as it was then. The enemy has used deception, lies, terrorism, censorship and criminality of every sort instead of frontal, declared war tactics. But it has still been war. Foreign powers have been deeply involved as they were back then. Greed and seeking power has driven much of it just as it has with all wars. The tools that have been utilized against patriots today are somewhat different, but just as effective.
So when, not if, America First MAGA patriots win the current war – will you be reconciliatory toward the past enemy combatants or adamant in their receiving punishment and banishment from society? Which approach do you think #47 and other patriot leaders that follow him will take? What does our founding documents and the law say? What does the overriding will of God found in the Holy Bible say?
For the early Americans it even translated into taking sides using political parties. And here we are some 250 years later still bickering and abusing the American Way through political parties.
Ponder The Future Of America
The patriots of our past were innovative, creative, focused and dedicated. Life was harder then, many did not make it to age 60. So many children and mothers died young. Knowing this they made their days count, unlike many today who pass through their time living in fantasy worlds or shackled with drugs and perversions of the soul. It is a world filled with so much hate, so much stupidity, so much whining, so many petty grievances and making mountains out of molehills for personal gain and power.
VSGPOTUS Trump is working unbelievably hard and having a great time doing it while knowing at any moment there could be a bullet to the back of his head. He can do that because he knows his number of days in this world is in the hands of the Master. Do we have the same understanding in our own? If not, why not? It may be keeping us from fulfilling our God given mission.
Those who know the real me, know that I am a diehard University of Tennessee Vol sports supporter. So forgive me if you need to as I bring you a recent quote from the new head coach of the baseball Vols, Josh Elander, who has replaced who many believe has been the best of all recent college baseball coaches, Tony Vitello. Tony accepted the challenge of being the first college head coach in history without any professional baseball experience to jump from college head coach to manager of a major league team, the San Francisco Giants. His replacement at Tennessee had worked for Tony since their previous stop together at Arkansas, some nine years ago. With other coaches, staff and the administration they built an elite program together from bottom feeder status. Josh turned down several lucrative offers to go somewhere else over the past few years to continue building the Vol program.
Despite having very different personalities, Tony and Josh share a common trait. Josh’s quote from his introductory press conference follows. You may catch a reference to someone from a past BIMD story.
“Nine years ago, I got this job (as an assistant),” said Elander. “Tony called and I went on the road basically immediately. I never went back to the place that I rented in Arkansas. [I was] running around recruiting, doing a bunch of deals.
But when I got here finally for our first visit, we were running a kid around, and there was a welcome packet on my desk. It had a bunch of different things. But the main thing I took out of that, I just took some scissors and cut it out. It was a quote from Pat Summitt. It’s been hanging in my office for nine years — and it ain’t going anywhere. That quote is, ‘Here’s how I’m going to beat you. I’m going to outwork you. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.
We knew Pat. We went to church together for decades. We had other occasions to visit with each other. Pat did what POTUS Trump is doing now, just in her expertise of women’s basketball. She became the face of the sport worldwide. As a result, she improved life for millions of young women over the years that have followed because what she did transferred into every women’s sport at every level as well as life in general. Her next challenge was revealing to the world that she had early onset dementia at the height of her HOF coaching career. This led to her opening up even more of her life and allowing the world in to experience it with her as she set up a foundation for Alzheimer’s treatment and research. She left this world far too soon, but the world was much better for her having been here.
Before she passed away, all of her work and dedication ended up translating into recognition around the world with her receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Hussein, one of the few things he did honorably. All of it happened because a rural west Tennessee country farm girl loved playing basketball and was willing to out work everybody else as she lived her dream. Tony Vitello and Josh Elander have benefitted from that same Pat approach in their occupations as well. It is a common thread with most people who make a real difference no matter the world’s perceived importance of one’s position in life.
The secret sauce is to have vision and outwork your opposition, whoever and whatever it may be, while thinking outside the box.
Take the blinds off and let your mind run wild with the possibilities that may make a difference in some way, big or small. It is just like the patriots did when the hostilities with the Brits ended 248 years ago. If the hostilities ended…oh wait…could that be another challenge left on the board?
As a current day MAGA patriot what are you doing or going to do with the secret sauce?
The focus now shifts to two little discussed New Jersey signers. Don’t ask me why many historians have slid right by these two.
Abraham Clark
Born in 1726 in Elizabethtown, NJ (now Elizabeth, NJ) to Thomas and Hannah (Winans) Clark as an only child, Abraham Clark was the third generation to reside there on both sides of his family. Both families were prominently involved in the area with over 150 Winans family members buried in the cemetery adjacent to First Presbyterian Church, where they were members. He was educated via tutor in surveying after his father realized he was very good at math. While working as a surveyor he studied law and opened a practice that focused on assisting poor clients. In 1749 he married Sarah Hatfield and they had ten children over the years that followed. While Sarah raised the children on their farm, he entered politics and became a clerk of the Provincial Assembly. He continued clerking for the assembly instead of military service due to his frail physical condition. Later he became the High Sheriff of Essex County and was elected to the Provincial Congress in 1775 as well as serving on the Committee of Public Safety.
New Jersey replaced their representatives to the Continental Congress in early 1776 as the existing reps were opposed to independence. Due to Clark’s strong support for it, he was named as one of the five replacements in June. As they voted in July, he wrote in a letter that, “”It is gone so far, that we must now be a free independent State, or a conquered country.” He followed that statement later with, “”We can die here but once. Nothing short of the Almighty Power of God can save us.”
He worked to provide supplies to Gen. Washington throughout his time in Congress and during the war. He was notified that his two oldest sons who served in the enlisted military had been captured and were incarcerated in horrible conditions on the prison ship, HMS Jersey. He refused to let others in government know so they would not be given deference over other prisoners. When leadership discovered it they made arrangements to reciprocate better treatment to a handful of captured Brits to assist the Clark situations until their release in a prisoner exchange.
He returned to Congress for two additional, multi-year periods. He was a strong proponent for the common man, the farmers and mechanics in particular. This placed him at odds with those founders who urged deference to public officials. He refused to wear a wig or ruffles on his sleeves as he hated elitism and pretense. He wanted regular citizens to stay involved and let their elected officials know what they wanted done. He pushed a pro-debtor paper money bill through the state legislature in 1788. He ran for U. S. Senate and lost, but followed in 1791 for a U. S. House of Representative seat and won. He was a Whig and had a deep desire to secure personal liberties for citizens. He saw that centralized authority could lead to tyranny.
Clark passed away in 1794 from a sunstroke on his property and is buried in Rahway, NJ. It is said that he became ill, but refused to seek help at home until he took another person who had been working with him home first. His wife, Sarah, passed away ten years later and is buried next to her husband. What a patriot, what a principled man!
Francis Hopkinson
Francis Hopkinson was born in Philadelphia to Thomas and Mary Johnson Hopkinson in1737. His father died when he was 14, however, his mother directed him to attend the College of Philadelphia (Penn), where he graduated in its first class with a BA degree while earning a MA degree three years later. Before his death his father was instrumental in the chartering of the college and worked with B to get it done. Hopkinson studied and apprenticed in the law under the colony’s AG and was admitted to the Bar a year later in 1761.
He immediately began work as Secretary to the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania Indian Affairs. He worked on numerous treaties during the period. He was not nearly as successful in his law practice and failed at a business venture, so he accepted a position as a Customs Collector in Salem, NJ. Hoping to make more money, he boarded a ship for England in 1766 in an attempt to gain a position as Customs Commissioner for North America, but was also unsuccessful with that despite learning a great deal more about the system. While there he began taking painting lessons under Benjamin West, the American born painter who founded the Royal Academy in England and painted for King George III. Francis returned to the colonies a year later in 1767.
His personal interests were diverse in that he was involved in writing, painting, music, design, politics and the law. He played the harpsichord and the organ. He composed published music of his own as well as copying arias, songs and instrumentals of other famous composers. By 1768 he had met and married Ann Borden, daughter of famous patriot Colonel Joseph Borden and wife, Elizabeth Rogers Borden of Bordentown, NJ. They had nine children together, four of whom died as young children with the rest marrying and having children.
Hopkinson returned to the role of Customs Collector in New Castle, Delaware in 1772. The couple moved to Bordentown two years later and he entered politics as a an Assemblyman in the state’s Provincial Council. He was admitted to the NJ Bar in 1775, resigned all of his British related positions, and was elected as a Delegate to represent NJ in the Second Continental Congress. He voted for independence and became a signer a month later. He left his role in Congress a few months later to return to his law practice and to serve on the Navy Board in Philadelphia. The British attacked areas of NJ during this period and their home was ransacked, however, they were not home at the time and were unharmed.
In 1778 he served as Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office and was later appointed to the Admiralty Court of Pennsylvania for periods from 1779 through 1787. He participated in the development and pushed for the Articles of Confederation as well as later, the Constitution in multiple states. In return for his tireless efforts after George Washington’s Presidential inauguration he was appointed to be U. S .District Court Judge for eastern PA in 1789.
He was long noted for his music, writing and artistic works. He also designed flags as well as seals, many of which were either used or provided as input for the final products chosen by federal entities. He continued to serve in his occupation and community roles until his death in 1791 at age 53 from stroke complications. He is buried in the churchyard of Christ Church in Philadelphia. Ann passed away many years later in 1827 at age 80. She is buried in her native Bordentown.
We are grateful for all of his patriotic and artistic contributions.

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.”
The Great Falling Away
Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians, in part, to offer a clarification after some of his readers misunderstood that the day of the Lord was upon them already (2 Thessalonians 2:1–2). Part of that clarification includes a statement that many have interpreted as predicting a great rebellion before Christ returns. Second Thessalonians 2:3 says this: “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition” (NKJV).
In his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul commended the believers for their faith, hope, and love (2 Thessalonians 1:2–3) and challenged them to excel still more (1 Thessalonians 4:1, 10). One area in which Paul encouraged them to grow was in their hope. To help with that, Paul taught them about the resurrection that will occur when the Lord meets believers in the clouds and the dead in Christ are raised (1 Thessalonians 4:13–17). This event, often referred to as the rapture, allows believers to grieve in a way consistent with their hope.
After the rapture, Paul explains, the day of the Lord will come. It will be a time of great difficulty for those who remain on earth in those days (1 Thessalonians 5:2–3). Paul explains that that day would not overtake believers (1 Thessalonians 5:4) and that God has not destined believers for wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9). However, because of the shortness of the time, the Thessalonians needed to make the most of their opportunity, being awake and sober (1 Thessalonians 5:6–8).
It is evident that the Thessalonians misunderstood the timing of the day of the Lord, as some thought that the day of the Lord had come upon them (2 Thessalonians 2:1–2). Paul explains that the day of the Lord had not yet come and that it would not come until some things happened first. One of those events preceding the day of the Lord would be the revealing of the man of lawlessness (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Also, Paul says, the “falling away” or “apostasy” (NASB) would come before the day of the Lord. Many have understood from this statement that before Christ returns many people will reject the faith and rebel against God.
Paul uses the Greek word apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, so “apostasy” is a good, literal translation. The Greek word means “to be apart from or to stand apart from.” Paul uses the same word in 1 Timothy 4 when he explains that in the last days people will stand apart from (or fall away from) the faith and follow various kinds of falsehood (1 Timothy 4:1–3). So, there will be a standing apart from the faith or a great falling away before Christ returns. Wickedness will grow worse and worse (2 Timothy 3:13).
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Luke 12:53
And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. Matthew 13:12
And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. Matthew 24:10

American Stories. (A series)
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.
It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.
This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.
Placing the wisdom to own metals, aside, for a moment. Discussed many months, perhaps a year ago.
How or where to hold the metals comes with a few choices. Three of them are:
Hold physical metals at home, bank safe deposit box…
Pay someone to hold (safekeep) owned metals. (Trust someone you’ve never met)
Or, essentially have a piece of paper, saying the purchaser owns, or is owed XX amount of metal, gold, silver, etc.
Two and three, IMO, obviously recipes for FAILURE. There is no guarantee, metal will be provided, “on demand”.
Whether the metals “physical issue on demand” is based in London, the US, or anywhere, really does not matter. The concept is FUBAR from its inception. MeThinks.
Silver Shortage of Physical, China Refining Dominance, LBMA issues
LBMA is the London Bullion Market Association. A private marketplace where folks can trade silver and gold.
They had a little bit of a problem. more people that expected wanted physical delivery of metal, and their vaults didn’t have enough. 54 million ounces were shipped in from China as a kind of a cope…
There’s Billions of ounces being traded against Millions of inventory. Most folks are doing cash settlement, but… it doesn’t take much of a “glitch” of extra folks choosing “delivery” for things to go sideways fast.
In other news: COMEX Commodities Exchange does a lot of futures and options contracts. As of now, the SPOT price (for “right now on the spot!”) is higher than the price in futures contracts. This is backwards from The Usual expected state (contango) which it ought to be. Why? Because to guarantee delivery at a future time, somebody has to hold the commodity in inventory, which has a cost, and must have money tied up in that inventory, which means not getting the bank interest you could get by leaving the money in the bank.
Tylenol earned its reputation as unsafe. Article below, also talks about Naprosyn also hard on the liver. I did not know that. Knew I should eat something before taking Naprosyn.
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
NAC was posted numerous times during Covid AND, IIRC, post JAB use.
Seems NAC IS effective with many health issues. Migraines and more.
Comments at the Chiefio article are hugely positive for NAC and a wide spread of benefits, users have experienced.
NAC appears to work for Migraine mitigation and inflammatory problems
The spouse, her twin, and a couple of their kids all have had migraine issues from time to time. They have since abated even if not totally gone ( the son used Imatrix to good effect, IIRC).
In the video below, the presenter says that use of NAC Suppliment helped her reduce her migraine frequency a lot, in conjunction with some other dietary suppliments.
In addition to that “testimonial”, the spouse has had significant effect on some inflammatory issues she is dealing with (joint pains & arthritis mostly).
I’ve not noticed as much, partly because I don’t have as much of an issue I think…, but it has improved “mood” and overall energy levels (very subjective, I know).
There are also a lot of medical studies to back up the positive effects in a variety of illnesses as an adjunct.
ME. Following videos from the Chiefio post, ARE easy to follow AND quite informative.
She is NOT selling anything AND comes across as very, very, honest.

As I recall, Trump stared down WEF back in ~2017. Told them essentially Globalism is DEAD. America First. Every country should FIRST put their interests, above all others.
^^^ Me. Common sense.
Davos assured Trump ‘woke’ topics were off the agenda
US officials told organisers that President’s attendance in January depended on programme.
Washington announced last week Trump would return to the Swiss event in person for the first time in six years. His last appearance was a virtual address days after his inauguration in January, when he called on the gathered business elite to make their products in the US or face tariffs.
Senior US officials asked Davos management to tone down or avoid discussions on areas including female empowerment and diversity, the green transition, climate change and international development finance as a condition of his participation, two of the people said.
SEDITIOUS. President Trump has never issued a single illegal order. The Democrats know exactly what they’re doing – and they’re doing it anyway.
American Stinker.
Service members, don’t take the bait
Six Democrats in a YouTube video have urged military members to refuse illegal orders!
Military career suicide
The posting advises military members to go ahead and decide their own law. If you feel that something is unjust, if you believe that some order conflicts with the Constitution, take it upon yourself to commit a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Article 92 of the UCMJ criminalizes “failure to obey an order or regulation.” This congressional advice is unconscionable. These six Democrats failed to mention the disastrous life impact upon any service member who may choose to follow it.
Let me provide any tempted service members a little supplemental information. I reviewed hundreds of court-martial records as a military JAG officer. All orders from a superior are legally presumed to be lawful. Your opinion about whether an order is legal is irrelevant. If you defy them, you go to the brig and await trial. Your command may instead opt to simply administratively separate (“AdSep”) you for misconduct for the convenience of the government.
One more on the sixtraitorous Dumrats AND legal / illegal orders.
Publius.
RE: Lawful Orders
Many years ago as a young Army captain I was fortunate enough to serve as an intern on the Joint Staff (i.e., the staff that supports the Joint Chiefs of Staff).
One of the duties all Joint Staff interns routinely had was to be a “rent-a-crowd” for VIPs giving…
Many years ago as a young Army captain I was fortunate enough to serve as an intern on the Joint Staff (i.e., the staff that supports the Joint Chiefs of Staff).
One of the duties all Joint Staff interns routinely had was to be a “rent-a-crowd” for VIPs giving speeches.
One day me and my buddy Werner got the order to put on our Class A uniforms and head over to Fort McNair to hear a speech by President Bill Clinton.
Little did we know that we were about to hear the historic “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” speech allowing gays in the military.
I was literally in the second row in the auditorium. David Gergen and George Stephanopoulos were in the front row right in front of me. Before the speech started, the two of them were laughing and cackling like school girls over how successful they had been at setting up the imaging they wanted.
That imaging was Slick Willie at the podium with the Joint Chiefs of Staff sitting behind him, as if they supported what he was about to say.
I was about twenty feet from General Carl Mundy, who was then the Commandant of the Marine Corps. As Clinton started giving the speech that would begin the U.S. military’s death spiral into social experimentation that valued DEI over lethality, my eyes were riveted on Mundy. He sat perfectly motionless in his chair, legs spread, hands on knees, with a look on his face that said “Daggers.” He was apparently frozen and motionless. However, I was close enough to see that he was actually flexing his jaw muscles and gritting his teeth repeatedly as he endured Clinton’s speech.
His anger was palpable. He had been on record as strongly opposing the new policy, and it was obvious he was doing everything he could to control his emotions.
But you know what? As badly as Mundy obviously hated what Clinton was doing to his Marine Corps, he knew that Clinton’s order was lawful. While he hated it politically, he did not pretend the order was “unlawful.”
But not just Mundy.
ALL OF US hated the order politically and socially, but all of us knew it was a lawful order coming from the President and that it was our Constitutional duty to execute that order to the best of our abilities, enthusiastically.
So we did.
But somewhere along the way today’s cretinous veteran Democrats in Congress decided that they would no longer do the right thing that we and Mundy did.
They decided that lawful orders are “unlawful” if they disagree politically.
Now they are destroying our military and our nation out of sheer disloyal, treasonous ego.
Pretending that lawful orders are “unlawful” if you disagree politically is not the role of a U.S. service member who follows his or her oath of office.
Encouraging troops to take such steps is sedition.
Democrats need to step back and remember what General Carl Mundy knew before they start their second U.S. civil war.
Back off, traitors.

White House dubs Dem a scam victim after he fumes Rubio wouldn’t fund climate trip
Power the Future chief Daniel Turner slammed congressman for praising Chinese delegation’s pavilion at the confab
The White House dubbed Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse a scam victim after he publicly complained the Trump administration would not fund or support his junket to the COP30 climate change conference in Belém, Brazil this week.
The Trump administration largely ignored the confab of global climate change leaders; a stark contrast to former President Joe Biden sending Clinton confidant John Podesta to lead a substantial U.S. delegation to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2024.
“Sadly, Senator Whitehouse has fallen victim to the biggest scam of the century: the Green New Scam,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said of Whitehouse, D-R.I.
“The senator can foolishly spend time and money attending this radical ‘climate’ conference, but the Trump administration refuses to waste taxpayer dollars.”

A new study, by Alain R. Thierry, et al., reveals that 100% of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons have microclots in their blood; and, that COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who present with symptoms of “Long COVID” also have microclots: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-anomalous-amyloid, “Breaking Study: Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of the COVID-19 Vaccinated”, Nicolas Hulscher, 17 November 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
The scientific paper referred to in the Hulscher article is here: https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.70613, “Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutraphil Extracurricular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients”, Alain R. Thierry, et al., 2 October 2025. Note the use of the word, “circulating.” This means that the microclots in the blood of the COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons are moving around inside the body. The Abstract from this paper is below:
The COVID-19 “vaccines” — all of them — if, for no other reason, must be immediately removed from use, from the market, and removed from any immunization schedule (especially the Immunization Schedules of the CDC), because of the evidence presented in the Thierry, et al., paper regarding circulating microclots in the blood of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons, and in the blood of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who present with symptoms of “Long COVID.” There is no other acceptable option at this point.
