Health Friday 11.14.2025 Open Thread: What’s Going on at Pfizer-BioNTech?: Part Two

The header image of vintage Pfizer vaccine vials for today’s offering is courtesy of Dreamstime and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of these “vaccines” that they had in the body. May they rest in eternal Peace.

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 AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images within items that are linked in the post. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Please refer to Part One of this two-part set, found here: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/11/07/health-friday-11-7-2025-open-thread-whats-going-on-at-pfizer-biontech-part-one/, regarding recent activities of PfizerUSA (also known as Pfizer), the United States-based co-partner of Pfizer-BioNTech. Today’s presentation will discuss some of the activities of the other co-partner, Germany-based BioNTech. Of necessity, some of today’s presentation will include items related to Pfizer (PfizerUSA.)

The current “pipeline” for the BioNTech product line is found here: https://www.biontech.com/int/en/home/pipeline-and-products/pipeline.html. The full PDF of the “pipeline” is found here: https://www.biontech.com/content/dam/biontech-corporate/global/pdf/home/pipeline-and-products/pipeline/assets/BioNTech-Clinical-Pipeline-EN-Q3.pdf, “Status: November 3, 2025.” A screenshot of the Infectious Diseases section of this pipeline is below:

Note the Collaborator / Partner listings on the far right of the image. There are two entities involving Bill Gates: the Gates Foundation; and, CEPI. There are two mentions of Pfizer (also known as PfizerUSA.) There is one mention of the University of Pennsylvania. Note also the BioNTech rights listings: the company fully owns the mRNA (modRNA) “vaccines” under development for Tuberculosis, for Malaria, and for Monkeypox (Mpox.) More on the Fosun Pharma collaboration / partnership will be presented further below in today’s post.

It appears that the modRNA-based “combo vaccine” for COVID-19 + influenza, also known as either BNT162b2 + BNT161, or as tozinameran + famtozinameran, is actually being developed and tested by BioNTech, with PfizerUSA (Pfizer) as a kind of “stand-by” or “silent” co-partner. Please see the screenshots below, from registered clinical trials information, per https://clinicaltrials.gov/:

**** NONE of these clinical trials have a true Control Group (study subjects injected with a plain saline solution “placebo vaccine.”)

BioNTech is ALSO working on a “new” version of of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2. However, the only BioNTech listing is this: https://clinicaltrials.biontech.com/trials/C4591076, which “translates” to the NCT07069309 clinical trial referenced above. “C459” is the prefix for Pfizer-BioNTech clinical trials for their modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” — for example, the huge C4591001 original clinical trial for BNT162b1 / BNT162b2 / BNT162b3, from which BNT162b2 was the “vaccine candidate” chosen by the company in the late summer/early fall of 2020 to proceed through the Emergency Use Authorization applications in the United States and in the EU / Scandinavia.

The question Yours Truly has regarding the “new COVID-19 “vaccine candidate” being used in NCT07069309: Is this “new COVID-19 vaccine candidate” ALSO being used in the clinical trial NCT06821061, also listed above? The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” called Investigational COVID-19 Vaccine per the Researcher View of NCT06821061?

Gentle reader, does one see how this aspect of the modRNA “vaccine” game works? BioNTech (the co-partner of PfizerUSA/Pfizer) comes up with a “new vaccine candidate” for COVID-19 — a “new vaccine candidate” which, in reality, is for the current circulating virus variant, LP.8.1. — and appears to use it it as an Investigational COVID-19 Vaccine in one clinical trial (NCT068210161): while, at the same, time, also using this same injectable in another clinical trial (NCT07069309)? How many study subjects in either clinical trial were told of this?

—————————————————————————-

And now, a dive into the “collaborators”, and what may be termed “the other partners”, the “investments partners”, and other entities that are involved with Pfizer-BioNTech, either with PfizerUSA(Pfizer), or with BioNTech. Yours Truly begins with the “active partners” list of PfizerUSA (Pfizer): https://www.pfizer.com/partners/venture-investments/our-portfolio. Below is a screenshot from this article regarding one of these “venture investments partners” — Saama:

What the above article does not mention is the fact that PfizerUSA (Pfizer), along with a group of other healthcare entities, acquired a majority stake in Saama back in October, 2021: https://carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-and-leading-healthcare-focused-venture-funds-announce-investment-saama, 20 October 2021. A screenshot from this article is below:

On the other hand, PfizerUSA (Pfizer), wanting to enter more fully into the weight-loss drug marketplace, began acquisition talks with a company called Metsera in August 2025. Metsera is developing a GLP-1 based weight-loss drug, MET-097i, a GLP-1 drug. GLP-1 drugs (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) drugs are designed to lower blood sugar in people taking them, thus (theoretically) leading to weight loss. However, another company, Novo Nordisk, also wanted to acquire Metsera, and, at one point, was working on an “agreement in principle” with the company. This led to a “battle of offers” for Metsera between Pfizer and Novo Nordisk, leading to a lawsuit filed by Pfizer on 1 November 2025 against Metsera and against Novo Nordisk’s offers to Metsera (https://sbj.net/stories/pfizer-sues-metsera-novo-nordisk,101765, Springfield Business Journal, 3 November 2025.) It also appears that Pfizer possibly contacted the United States Federal Trade Commission about the situation — with the result that Novo Nordisk backed away due to a letter sent to the company by the FEC; and, Pfizer, then having the “green light”, could move forward with the acquisition deal for Metsera (https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/pfizer-beats-out-novo-10b-agreement-buy-metsera, Eric Sagonowsky, 8 November 2025.)

Gentle reader, does one see how this aspect of the game is played? It appears that PfizerUSA (Pfizer) gets the United States Federal Trade Commission involved in blocking a deal that a rival company (Novo Nordisk) is working on, in order for Pfizer to acquire the target company?

—————————————————————————

Meanwhile, what of the “collaborators” and “partners” with BioNTech, other than their co-partner, PfizerUSA (Pfizer)? Following is a “snapshot” of this situation:

BioNTech and CEPI (Gates Foundation) are “partnered” in expanding mRNA “vaccine” research, development, and manufacturing, in Kigali, Rwanda: https://cepi.net/biontech-and-cepi-expand-partnership-strengthen-africas-mrna-vaccine-ecosystem, 28 May 2024. A screenshot of the summary from this article is below:

This article emanated from Mainz, Germany, and Oslo, Norway.

**** Note also the use of a new term: “mRNA vaccine ecosystem.” Gentle reader, does one see how this aspect of the game is played? First, create the “problem” (the COVID-19 virus); Second, create the “solution” (modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”); Third, convince / coerce / frighten / gaslight, billions of people into taking this unproven gene-therapy technology; Fourth, create an “mRNA vaccine ecosystem” in which endless types of mRNA-based / modRNA-based “vaccines” are created and administered to the convinced / coerced / frightened / gaslighted, billions of people as part of the “mRNA vaccine ecosystem”, with the underlying “passive-aggressive threat” of “people must take these “vaccines”, otherwise they would likely get very sick and/or die”.

Yours Truly now turns to the “partnership” between BioNTech and the Communist China-based pharmaceutical company, Fosun Pharma.

Fosun Pharma, also known as Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd., was founded in 1994. The company has since “spun off” into other related entities, such as Fosun International, and https://fosunpharmausa.com/. Lest there is any doubt that the Chinese Communist Party holds a significant stake in Fosun Pharma, please see this: https://en.fosun.com/Upload/File/202104021739947_5055.pdf, “Corporate Social Responsibility Report – Fosun”, for the year 2012. A graphic from Page 11 of this report is below:

The Wikipedia entry on Fosun Pharma is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fosun_Pharma.

However, it also appears that Guo Guangchang, founder and chairman of Fosun International, has run afoul of the Chinese government at least twice. He “disappeared” in 2015 and in 2017, only to “resurface” after what appears to have been detention and interrogation (for the 2015 “disappearance”, at least) by Chinese authorities: https://variety.com/2015/biz/asia/missing-chinese-executive-released-1201660214/, Patrick Frater, 13 December 2015.

Fosun Pharma and BioNTech went into partnership regarding the development and distribution of BNT162b2 in Communist China. Please the screenshot from the Wikipedia entry regarding this, below:

Please refer also to the BioNTech “pipeline” graphics further above in today’s offering. Fosun Pharma is listed in the Infectious Diseases section as Collaborator / Partner with BioNTech regarding the development and distribution of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 (now known as COMIRNATY.)

The Fierce Pharma story regarding the Fosun Pharma – BioNTech “partnership” and BNT162b2 is here: https://www.fiercepharma.com/manufacturing/biontech-fosun-pharma-eye-1b-doses-covid-19-vaccine-capacity-new-china-jv, Angus Liu, 10 May 2021. A screenshot from this article is below:

In addition, Fosun Pharma is also “partnering” with PfizerUSA (Pfizer) in the manufacture of a generic form of Paxlovid (owned by Pfizer) for international use: https://medicinepatientpool.org/story-post/fosun-pharmas-global-impact-expanding-access-to-covid-19-treatments-and-beyond-through-voluntary-licensing-with-mpp, 22 November 2024. This sublicense agreement with Medicine Patient Pool (MPP) was signed in March 2022. MPP is, in turn, a division of Unitaid (https://unitaid.org/.) More information regarding MPP is here: https://medicinepatientpool.org/who-we-are/about-us.

Gentle reader, does one see how this aspect of the game is played? The Big Pharma company “creates partnerships” or “sublicensing agreements” with other companies around the world to push the drugs and / or “vaccines” that the Big Pharma company creates and manufactures. Smaller pharmaceutical companies; alternative treatment entities and their products; other avenues of treatment opportunities — are left out / choked off / minimized.

The 2024 salary of Dr. Ugur Sahin, MD, CEO of BioNTech: $287 million dollars.

The 2024 salary of Dr. Albert Bourla, DVM, CEO of PfizerUSA (Pfizer): $24.6 million dollars.

Per: https://www.fiercepharma.com/special-reports/big-pharmas-10-highest-paid-ceos-2024, 16 June 2025.

Meanwhile, the Medical Tsunami of documented modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced or aggravated illnesses, injuries, or disabilities, among those who took / take these “vaccines”, rolls on. Meanwhile, the Medical Tsunami of documented modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced or related deaths among those who took these “vaccines” rolls on.

All persons — COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not — need to be following some type of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein detox / mitigation protocol. All persons — COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not — need to keep their immune system in the best shape possible.

All modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” MUST be removed from the market and from use. Now.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.

THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

WordPiss gotcha! It didn’t post until way past the time you said it would.

scott467

Nevertheless, we shall endeavor to carry on! 😁

Valerie Curren

I thought this was within the normal “kicker-outer” time frame  🙄 

pgroup2

It is but PAVACA bragged it would be out two seconds/minutes after midnight.

So I decided to make it public.  😂 

Valerie Curren

LOL

Wolf Moon

Just add 16 minutes to whatever you schedule for, and that is how long it may take. Everything less than that is random luck!

TheseTruths

These people can’t be trusted with our health. None of what they’re doing is about health, IMO. 💰💵💶💴🤑
They’re doing it worldwide, not just targeting the U.S. or even third-world countries. And despite this…

All modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” MUST be removed from the market and from use. Now.

…they keep pressing harder. The partnerships and sublicensing agreements allow them to hide behind names that the public wouldn’t recognize.

patfrederick

I just don’t want the vaxxes removed–I want sanctions (cuz i know we can’t sue them asswipes) so sanction or whatever the correct action is–that they cannot bring anything to market for the next 50 years. they have destroyed ANY trust the public has in these things. they have to be held responsible.

Gail Combs

Actually I want indictments and convictions for MASS MURDER!

pgroup2

You don’t want much, do you?  😉 

Gail Combs

I want actual JUSTICE!

It is pretty clear now that Fauci at least had ZERO problem with killing people.

Fauci Botched the AIDS Epidemic so Big Pharma Could Profit.

Why Has Fauci Not Been Held To Account For Mass Graves
And from our own dear Aubergine

What (or who) killed all of these children? The WORLD Deserves to Know

This is the most shocking and horrifying thing I have ever researched and written about. I’m putting that up front, mostly to explain my lapse in pursuing it far enough when I first found it. I have had an atavistic and instinctive revulsion to this story which clouded my normally curious mind, that I will now attempt to make up for. This feels like brushing up against the Devil, himself. Please forgive my cowardice.

A couple of weeks ago, a video with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was posted here on the Q Tree. In it, he mentions that a researcher for his book saw hundreds of children’s coffins under astroturf in a cemetery in New York. He stated that the children died as a result of experiments with AIDS drugs conducted by Anthony Fauci and crew. Of course, the video, which was in a Tweet, has been removed by Twitter. But our wonderful Gail Combs posted a full video from Rumble:

LINK: https://rumble.com/vqzb8y-episode-1496-fauci-on-trial.html

Here is the link to Gail’s comment, which also contains a transcript of the BBC video, Guinea Pig Kids. I highly recommend reading it. It is shocking and chilling.

Epstein was bad but FauXi is a TRUE MONSTER!

Sir ES

Class actions are quite effective, especially when the ‘class’ comprises …

TWO BILLION PEOPLE!!!

And that’s only the civil law part; the criminal part is what I want to see, like you (and others, of course!).

Timing is everything, and it must be done according to the LAW, as Q said.

It’s a long, delicate process to insert evidence into the legal system, using courts all over the country.

But we’re making progress, sometimes seen, sometimes not. The ever-hopeful anons would say, “It’s HABBENING!”

scott467

I want public corporal punishment.

I want MAJOR punishment…LOL

TradeBait2

True. Fight back and expose is the only response IMO.

I do not like PDT/cabinet giving them cover. It is one of the major areas I completely disagree with his approach and direction.

When I say, Trust Trump, I am not talking about everything. I am talking about the economy, military, law abiding, governing, deporting, MAGA, etc. The direction of traditional medicine supported by Big Pharm is evil IMO. I would not touch anything that is gene therapy related ever.

There are some well tested meds with documented benefits. There are needs for surgeons, internal medicine and therapies. But buyer beware – always. The provider’s motive and product/service must always be considered. Do your due diligence whenever possible.

Gail Combs

I am wondering if we are watching a Trump Psy-op.

If you are after the TOP of a Criminal syndicate you do not alert them to the fact you are gathering evidence.

Remember Dr Peter Navarro’s book: In Trump Time: A Journal of America’s Plague Year

Remember the Cabal sent that man to prison. Remember he served POTUS all thru his 1st term AND is now serving in the second.

I have some critical quotes from that book in my Article: Mike Pence –Trojan Horse

pgroup2

You might be on to something.

Gail Combs

Trump plays the buffoon and braggart to the Fake News but he is a very canny strategist. He is not about to show his hand until AFTER the prey is completely trapped.

Sir ES

Exactly.

One must defeat the SOURCE to win; anything less would be a fruitless victory in the end.

The character ‘Elrond,’ in Tolkein’s LotR, speaks to what we’re experiencing now, in the chapter entitled “The Council of Elrond.”

The parallels are stunning…

Gail Combs

I am going to have to re-read that trilogy. It has been over fifty years…

Wolf Moon

I think one power we do have as the public is to simply refuse mRNA vaccines as an inherently inferior and unsafe technology, relative to “normal” vaccines.

This argument puts the vaxholes in a quandry. They are forced to engage the idea that all vaccines are not equal. Their irrational idea that all vaccines are safe, is exposed.

My current thinking is that the current flu shots (dead or attenuated virus, or recombinant antigen) are far less harmful than the COVID shots, and not of any significant benefit for most people. I find them to be an avoidable risk, but not nearly in the same category as the mRNA shots, which are frankly dangerous.

We as consumers can reject mRNA shots en masse, with nearly undeniable cause, and IMO at a minimum force the industry to provide alternatives.

TheseTruths

I agree about rejecting mRNA shots, but I don’t think most of the public will do it. Unfortunately they march off a cliff like sheep.

Notasmidgeon

Agree

cthulhu

The work in Africa is quite disturbing. In no other quarter of the world are there so many organisms that have spent so many generations considering humans as prey.

When Homo erectus first stood on two legs, much of African fauna — from crocodiles to parasites and bacteria — already were already quite familiar with the taste. Further millennia did little to quell any fondness.

In many ways, it is a perfect place to research anti-human biological warfare.

Linda

I’m disturbed also about all the vaccines Bill Gates has foisted on Africans that have sterilized women or given kids polio. Part of their depopulation program I would guess.

cthulhu

Not to mention Gates’ vaccine experimentation in India.

Gail Combs

Africa and India, two places with a high fertility rate.

cthulhu

Just as a side note….

Once Upon A Time, the sobriquet “First World” meant Western countries that held to Western Values; “Second World” meant countries aligned with Communism; and “Third World” meant those nominally “unaligned” countries that were trapped in living within their means.

As an example, at one point Venezuela was a “First World” Westernized country with the world’s largest oil reserves. They, then, elected “Second World” status under Hugo Chavez — which is rapidly wrecking the country.

Gail Combs

Thanks to the Damn British/Dutch/French Empires!

TheseTruths

I have not heard what happened with Catturd the other day.

Catturd:

Just the sight of Marjorie Taylor Greene now makes me sick.

Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Since I’ve been into politics for 30 years, I’ve never seen a bigger sellout backstabber in my life.

She’s a narcissist from heII who only wants to be a star. Watching her kiss the ass of every Liberal host in America the past few weeks makes me want to vomit.

She’s absolutely disgusting. 🤮

I don’t know what all MTG has been saying, except that she pulled the “tough mama” act about the Epstein files. Then there’s this:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hakeem-jeffries-surprise-gop-ally-government-shutdown-marjorie-taylor-greene/

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries listed GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as an ally on the other side of the aisle during the longest government shutdown in modern history, after she spent weeks blasting her fellow Republicans over their handling of health care…

“She’s been very clear that this health care crisis is not made up, it’s real, Republicans have no health care plan, and that Democrats are correct in fighting to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits,” Jeffries continued.

Health insurance played a central role in the shutdown fight…

Meanwhile, Greene — an often-pugnacious and controversial Georgia Republican who isn’t shy about criticizing Democrats — has repeatedly lashed out against her party’s leadership, accusing them of failing to come up with a plan to deal with the expiring subsidies.

“Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING,” she wrote on X last month in a post that noted she’s “not a fan” of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare…

Greene has also criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for keeping the House out of session during the shutdown: “It’s an embarrassment,” she told “The View,” and she pushed Republicans to focus more on addressing the cost of living (“I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck,” she told Semafor).

And she’s suggested the Trump administration has focused too much on foreign policy in recent months, leading President Trump to say: “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie — nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think.”

Over the course of the shutdown, Jeffries and other Democrats have regularly pointed to Greene, citing the hard-right lawmaker’s comments on health care to back up their own views. It’s an odd alliance, just under five years after House Democrats voted to take away Greene’s committee assignments over conspiratorial statements she made before joining Congress.

There are ways to have disagreements within the party without blatant public criticism to one’s enemies, which is how I view the Dems. Those who support socialist candidates and policies, who want to incarcerate Pres. Trump or worse, and who fight MAGA policies at every turn are enemies of this country, not just an opposing political party.

patfrederick

i think she’s got a case of wannabes. maybe she has aspirations of being the first female President–no woman on the left side –Crockett, Harris, AOC has enough brains to handle debate or anything closely resembling a campaign. maybe MTG thinks she and Fetterman can win.

pgroup2

That’s a wild idea.

OK, MTG is bitching about R-Cons not having a health plan.

Has MTG developed a health plan to satisfy her whims? NOPE.

MTG has devolved to Shrill Bitch. NOT part of any solution. Part of the problem.

pgroup2

OOOO!!! You peeked under her skirt.  😂 

kalbokalbs

  :doublepuke: 

Aubergine

I know every time I write about this, it’s unpopular, but here I go again, lol.

MTG is reflecting what I am hearing out here in real life. People are frustrated. Health care costs too damned much. Groceries cost too much. Gas is still too high.

I get it, it’s only been ten months. But I am old, and didn’t grow up on the instant-gratification culture we now have. And that’s the problem. Millennials and Gen Z have grown up on TV, movies, and video games, where problems are solved in under two hours. The have no training in delayed gratification and waiting years for things to happen.

It DOES NOT MATTER that we know this is short-sighted and impossible. These people VOTE. And the mid-terms are coming.

I don’t know how to fix the problem. It feels baked in to the culture now. Younger people expect every problem to be solved the way Trump solved the Iran nuclear threat. It was like a video game. The bombers went in secretly and came back out in victory in 24 hours. That’s the world Millennials and Gen Z have been trained to expect.

Gail Combs

I am hoping that POTUS Trump has planned for this. IIRC, Barron has been counseling him.

TheseTruths

I’m sure you are correct. My problem is with the way MTG is going about it. I don’t see her as having a strategy to help fix the problems, only a way to complain about them, and to the Left, of all places. There’s something wrong there.

Aubergine

It could be that opening her big mouth is her only strategy. Which isn’t a good strategy, but may be all she’s got. She is only a Representative. They don’t have all that much power on their own.

kalbokalbs

MTG is increasingly part of the problem!!!!

MTG pitches about stuff, while NOT creating solutions.

MTG joins libtard crazies, such as the View, joining the professional libtard wing.

MTG pitches about men without solutions, yet MTG has no answers.

MTG is NOT a leader.

MTG wears blinders, singing whatever is popular to whine about.

MTG’s value dwindles everyday.

Sick and tired of hearing, MTG bitching and moaning.

MTG  :doublepuke:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

Today, building on @POTUS’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.

Department of State:

Anarchist militants have waged terror campaigns in the United States and Europe, conspiring to undermine the foundations of Western Civilization through their brutal attacks.

The State Department will designate these four Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Organizations:

I can’t see the list. I don’t think I would recognize the names anyway.

cthulhu

As someone who experienced an organization having four names in an 18-month period without changing desks or duties, I doubt the names are all that important anyway.

[Corporate wanted to change the names and logos on the checks each time and somehow I never got around to this….I figured if it bothered our suppliers, the suppliers could stop depositing our checks when paid. I also didn’t change my own business card.

First step – using SSNs as ID. 

Aubergine

Lol, I’ll never forget that when I first moved to Montana over thirty years ago, my driver’s license number was my SS number! They didn’t change that for years.

Valerie Curren

That was also the case in OK though I managed to dodge ever getting a DL in my decade living there (I was a student 6 1/2 of the 10 years). I thought using SSNs as ID was illegal as they’re supposed to be private.

In Michigan they use the Soundex system for the DLs. I memorized my DL# as a young adult & it’s the same now except the prefixes changed from S-336 to C-650. It’s actually pretty smart if this is still the case for no matter how many (sur-)name changes a person might have their basic DL# wouldn’t change so they might be tracked within records easier.

Cuppa Covfefe

As soon as the system is breached, as Mr. T would say, “You no longer you”… (from that episode with Dana Elcar on “The A-Team”)…..

von der Liar and the EZB are HELL-BENT on this, too… Digital Euro…. supposedly voluntary, but see how long that lasts…

Looks like they “learned” from FDR, et. al., too….. 😡 😡 😡 😡

TheseTruths

My impression is that Epstein became obsessed with Trump because Trump didn’t play his games, wouldn’t do business deals with him, and didn’t kowtow to him. And Epstein appears to have been egged on by Michael Wolff.

Epstein wrote disturbing email to himself before suicide

Jeffrey Epstein wrote a paranoid email to himself months before his death rambling about Donald Trump

The disgraced pedophile billionaire claimed that the President had often visited his home in Palm Beach, in the email sent to himself in February 2019.

‘[REDACTED] worked at Mar-a-Lago. Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period,’ Epstein wrote, six months before he was found hanged at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

Below, this article clarifies that “redacted” is Virginia Giuffre, who exonerated Trump of any wrongdoing.

➡️ ‘He never got a massage,’ the financier said.

Epstein appeared to be spiraling as he was facing new charges of abusing dozens of girls following a bombshell investigation by the Miami Herald in 2019. It came more than a decade after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008.

The pedophile appears to downplay the significance of his abuse to victims, writing: ‘the girls returned the house multiple times. For 200 dollars for a rub and tug. No sex. Some worked in the local massage parlors. Most in their twenties.’

The reasoning and context behind Epstein’s email to himself are not clear. The following day, he forwarded the exchange to the author Michael Wolff, who was writing an exposé on Trump at the time.

‘Have fun,’ the financier wrote. 

The bizarre rant came just a few months after the Miami Herald released their bombshell three-part series that identified more than 60 women who said they were sexually abused by Epstein when they were underage…

Epstein ended the email by rehashing an old Florida property dispute that he had with the President in the early 2000s shortly before their relationship collapsed.

Trump famously expelled the financier around October 2007, according to the Mar-a-Lago’s Club registry.

The president has since revealed Epstein was ‘stealing’ young women who worked at his estate.

The pressure from the Miami Herald’s story led to Epstein’s arrest in July 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges in New York.

He died in a New York jail cell from an apparent suicide one month later.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday branded the email dump a politically motivated ‘smear’ campaign and repeated Giuffre’s former statements about Trump in which she absolved him of any wrongdoing.

‘The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump,’ Leavitt said in a statement.

‘The “unnamed victim” referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and “couldn’t have been friendlier” to her in their limited interactions.’

Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year, was recruited by Maxwell while employed as a spa attendant at the Mar-a-Lago Club in 2000. She was 16 years old.

Valerie Curren

Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year”

I thought she’d said pointedly that she was NOT suicidal so was she “suicided”, if so why?

Gail Combs

Supposedly she was in an auto accident and badly hurt.

At this point, unless OTHER WISE PROVED, I think it was a Cabal Assassination. Others have also died.

Valerie Curren

  :wpds_evil: 

Sir ES

I thought that the ‘bus accident was shown to be a lie, to cover domestic abuse – and yet, her “not suicidal” plea was real.

Perhaps the ‘domestic abuse’ was ALSO a cover – she was obviously hurt, and threatened.

Very sad.

“Wheels within wheels.”

Sir ES

Yes.

Put another way, on a greater stage, “5D Chess.”

Aubergine

Ezekiel is where the concept of “wheels within wheels” as a metaphor for complexity and hidden causes not easily seen.

I’m not sure there’s a “greater stage” than the Bible.

Ezekiel 1:15-21

15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the [d]living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the [e]living creatures was in the wheels.

The main reason to make such a disclaimer is to ensure that life insurance policies pay off.

Valerie Curren

hmmm…dark…

Barb Meier

My dad was an insurance agent and once told me that insurance companies do pay off if someone comits suicide. I don’t think they like to talk about it and maybe it is no longer true.

pgroup2

Well, it doesn’t matter if that’s true. What matters is if the dead person believed it. Then such a disclaimer might well be made.

Barb Meier

Ummm… I think I’ll go make those orange cranberry muffins that I’ve been putting off. Pgroup. your statement confuses me. LOL

Let’s see… it matters if it is true to all involved parties: the dead person, their family or inheritors, and the insurance company who does/doesn’t pay the claim.

If the dead person believed it, does that make an insurance company an accomplice to suicide or somehow negligent?

Head making whirring sounds… 🤔

kalbokalbs

From what I’ve seen, some insurance companies have a one year caveat of sorts.

Pay out after suicide, after policy is in effect for one year.

Barb Meier

That would make sense. Otherwise, people might be so desperate to get $ to the family that they would take their life for the insurance money. Or someone else might help them along.

Gail Combs

My impression is that Epstein became obsessed with Trump because Trump didn’t play his games, wouldn’t do business deals with him, and didn’t kowtow to him. And Epstein appears to have been egged on by Michael Wolff….”

Now add in the Fake News asking Trump if he would run for president. I think Epstein was INSTRUCTED to get DIRT on Trump so he could be controlled if he ever ran.

“…Epstein ended the email by rehashing an old Florida property dispute that he had with the President in the early 2000s shortly before their relationship collapsed….”

His voice was a lot better too.

Given his kind heart and wealth, he must have had to beat them off with a stick.

No wonder he hated going to parties.

pgroup2

The Miami Herald and 60 ‘girls’ conspired to make lots of money – maybe even to own Epstein’s island. Where is any evidence to corroborate their tales of woe?

I hope DJT figures out how to pardon Ghislane Maxwell without too much political damage. IMO she was convicted because they couldn’t get to Epstein.

[I’m ducking into my Lexan shed now]

Aubergine

“The reasoning and context behind Epstein’s email to himself are not clear.”

I think that he was doing something very similar to what Susan Rice was doing when she wrote her “by the book” email at the end of Obama’s term.

They were both smart enough to manufacture “evidence” “just in case.”

Beginning to be discussed in the MSM. Dane Wigington speaks as he did with Tucker.

Despite reasonably discussed past posts questioning it on here, he provides receipts on his site. Cloud seeding in Texas during the killing floods is discussed. Lee Zeldin interview is provided and he dodges direct answers on TX. Louisiana appears as the next state that will ban it with another 11 states considering. That is good because LA and FL are both hurricane entry points and susceptible to flooding.

Worth consideration IMO. I know we Tennesseans love having clear skies and more normal weather patterns that we have experienced this year. Our state banned it a few months before Helene over a year ago.

https://rumble.com/v71oibo-geoengineering-chemtrails-are-the-elephant-in-the-sky.html

Sir ES

I remember that – TN is the first State to have banned the chemtrails (even ‘cloud-seeding’ is chemical – silver iodide, IIRC).

However, the geo-engineering isn’t limited to use of aviation.

When Helene was deluging NC, there was at least one radar tower (with a sizable ‘golfball’ stop) that deflected rain from the TN side to the NC side.

The signature of the event showed a ‘pie-slice’ anomaly emanating from that radar tower: it’s a form of what’s called a DEW, for Directed Energy Weapon (usually the microwave spectrum [invisible]).

This made NC’s situation much worse.

After Helene, an anon warned of Mitch … which hadn’t even been fully formed, nor named!

Lo and behold, a day or two later the storm became a hurricane extremely fast, and went due east. A very rare trajectory, when almost all storms originating from directly south of TX end up going north, then curling west.

Again, there were signatures of DEW super-charging (‘doping’ energy into) Mitch.

One of the radar snapshots revealed a perfectly straight pie-slice, a right-angle, from the eye.

It didn’t last long, but it was so preternatural it screamed “artificial.”

NC was targeted, IMO.

There is evidence of this? Not only something on radar that people are interpreting in a certain way, but evidence that they are correct in their assumptions?

Sir ES

Are you speaking about DEWs in general, or specifically about Helene and Mitch?

I did view multiple radar snapshots, and the anons have various specialties that broaden our info. A few look into plane routes and call signs, and others follow unusual weather. There are many more ‘pet’ projects / topics.

For 9/11, there still exists on uTube a 2-hr video on DEWs – Dr. Wood, IIRC.

There are multiple photos of DEW-equipped planes, with a huge concave-up semi-sphere right under the cockpit – perhaps 20ft or so diameter.

IMO, it’s likely that the 9/11 DEW was from a low-orbit satellite, because a 100% vertical weapon (stationary / geosynchronous) was needed, and the sheer energy to do so required a greater battery.

There are many things that the anons take as fact, and it almost never happens that they’re off-base, when they all pool together to reach a consensus.

I wish I had copied those radar photos, and to boot, I only have a horrible cellphone – cut-and-paste just doesn’t work!

If one could provide the dates, I likely would be able to find the photos, and then I could post a very specific path to them.

Lemme know!

I’m guessing the missing word is bill/law…
FTA
Far-left Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced on Thursday which prevents sitting presidents from seeking taxpayer-funded payouts.
Schiff called his bill the No Torts for Trump Act. Pencil-neck’s bill will amend the Federal Torts Claim Act.
According to AXIOS several Democratic Senators signed on to the bill, including: Chris Van Hollen (Md.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Ed Markey (Mass.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Jack Reed (R.I.) and Jacky Rosen (Nev.).
News broke in late October that President Trump was seeking $230 million payout for compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter.
No new indictments have been filed against President Trump since 2023.
Democrats tried to destroy President Trump who even survived two assassination attempts.
Now President Trump wants to be reimbursed for the millions of dollars spent and stress he endured during their attempts to use the US Courts to destroy him, his family, and his supporters.

I was showing one of my ponies I was selling. Turns out the lady is ‘one of us’ Unvacinated….

She had a 4 year old donkey, vaccinated the poor fellow and it immediately got sick. Could not see, could not hear… UNC said THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE at farm support and the cost was $2,000 per day at UNC. So they had to put the animal down.

A friend had a similar problem and at least the vet provided at farm support and they could save the animal.

She said, I do not trust doctors but I thought I could trust my vet. The vaccine was for West Nile

Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment | West Nile Virus | CDC
Key points

  • West Nile virus can result in mild illness with flu-like symptoms or severe illness that affects the central nervous system or results in hospitalization or death.
  • There is no treatment for West Nile virus disease (West Nile).
  • Rest, fluids, and pain medications may relieve symptoms.

[There can be a high fever and that results in brain complications like in her donkey-GC]

Less than 1% of people infected develop severe illness that affects the central nervous system, requires hospitalization, or results in death.

  • Central nervous system infection can cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and the membranes around the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).
  • Symptoms of severe illness can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness, and paralysis.
  • Recovery from severe illness can take several weeks or months. Some effects might be permanent.

Glad you met her but sorry about her donkey 🙁

Gail Combs

She wanted to leave her daughter with us for two weeks to learn from us. She is a ‘competitor’ doing on farm pony rides. The pony is suitable for birthday parties but can not be trusted around unsupervised kids because he will nip.

She is going to help me find him a home.

Valerie Curren

That’s priceless.

I hope you ultimately find someone who you want to carry on you & your husband’s legacies (as I understand you don’t have kids to inherit).

My dad’s cousin & his wife never had kids either. They had a farm in the Traverse City area & they were also very hard workers. They befriended a younger farm family who became like family to them, even helping to care for them as they aged. As I understand it they ended up leaving their farm to these dear friends so the legacy & memories lived on in the kids that were practically like grandkids to them.

Kenny was one of 8 kids from a Very Dysfunctional family, my dad’s mom’s sister “Poor Aunt Ruth” was their mother. Ruth’s husband was a ruthless miser. Most of the kids never married nor had kids. A few stayed in the Detroit family home that was in extreme disrepair. No sewer as their dad was too cheap to pay for the hookups when the city wanted it. I think the roof was caving in & leaking in one room & the porch was rotting off. One of the son’s was retarded but incredibly sweet. One of the sisters was a Very Odd Duck, practically a street person but boy did she love the Lord! And God watched out for her too.

When Kenny reached adulthood his dad took him in the basement & had a fist fight with him, apparently it was his way to assess if his sons were ready to be men. Kenny beat his dad up so got kicked out on his own as a late teen. My dad’s parents absolutely loved Kenny & Rosie & would visit them periodically though they were more than an hour away. K & R were a source of comfort, friendship, & fellowship beyond just family ties for my grandpa in his decade of life after Grandma died. We were so happy they found special people for their farm property so it didn’t just get sold off & divided by the remaining siblings.

It appears to be an anaphylactic reaction that not all people would get, after being bitten by a tick but also eating meat, or something. I don’t have time to delve into it right now, but the lack of clear information is a problem, IMO.

The article says a lot of doctors haven’t heard of it. And the public isn’t getting clear information about it either.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Friday, November 14, 2025

“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”

Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 10

“Through the whole of the Proverbs, we are to look for somewhat beyond the first sense the passage may imply, and this we shall find to be Christ. He is the Wisdom so often spoken of in this book.”

“The tongue of the just is sincere, freed from the dross of guile and evil design. Pious discourse is spiritual food to the needy. Fools die for want of a heart, so the word is; for want of thought. 22|.” 

“A good man discourses wisely for the benefit of others. But it is the sin, and will be the ruin of a wicked man, that he speaks what is displeasing to God, and provoking to those he converses with. The righteous is kept by the power of God; and nothing shall be able to separate him from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.”

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

SPEAK LIFE AND BLESSING

When we face challenges out of the blue
Our first instinct might be what went askew
We wonder what it was that caused the rift
Not recognizing what hit was a gift 

We tend to take what occurs personally
Like some sort of punishment deservedly
When really it was nothing of the sort
Nor to the extent of fault to report

We have free will to make our choices
And that includes how we use our voices
We can rant and rave and complain why me
Or we can speak life and blessing to be

We are all prone to the seven deadly
We can speak out a tirade in medley
We can side with that demonic attack
Give negative thoughts credence right back

The effect of the weight we have laid down
Will surely defeat us cause us to drown
In a sea of self-pity barely function
Until we reach a decision junction

The difference between blessing and curse
Is the curse tends to make our plight much worse
It augments into a vicious cycle
We are less fruitful not at all vital

Speak life and blessing for each consequence
A positive outlook just makes more sense
It energizes God-given gifts in you
The Spirit inside comes alive when you do

Another great article from Cynical Publius (who “liked” one of my replies on X yesterday!). He is one of my favorites:

“I am on vacation. I was planning on taking a timeout and not thinking or writing about politics for a few days, but somehow politics found me anyway. As a result, I feel compelled to write about what I just experienced. I think the things I witnessed are subtle yet quite important and highly worth sharing with anyone who supports liberty.

I am in Bucharest, Romania, as I write this. Today I experienced a confluence of unanticipated moments that I can only describe as a sort of poetic synchronicity. Please bear with me as I tie some seemingly disparate events into what I believe is a parable on the price and perishability of freedom.”

Yes, it is a good precautionary tale. But I would like to point out the top comment:

Everett_Brunson

November 14, 2025

If I can make a few comparisons with the No Kings Socialists and political realities—-

New York’s new socialist mayor, Mamdani, is realizing the promises and reality are two, completely different things.

He free bus service just got shut down by Governor Hochel with her stating that the State of New York does not have the available funds to do away with transportation revenue. IOWs, no free buses.

Mamdani’s plans to turn the Elizabeth Street Community garden just got blocked by Mayor Adams’ designating the spot as a City Park. As a newly dedicated and official park, Mamdani’s efforts come into conflict with City Ordinances against seizures of public land for private enterprise.

As for his wealth tax and stock transactions fees—-those can only be approved in Albany.

So, it is not only that Freedom isn’t Free, Socialism isn’t easy.

Where the DSA thought they could parley two mayoral wins in New York City and Seattle into beach heads for taking over the Democrat Party, they may well have ensured Democrat losses in the mid-terms. Inasmuch as the Democrat base consists entirely of college educated women, the University class, and urban elite, failure to bring about the promised socialist utopia between now and next November may well suppress Democrat turnout.

In my mind’s eye, Cynical Publius’ description of the No Kings affluent Septuagenarian’s reactions to Puscasu’s speech—pulling out the earbuds, failure to applaud, the walking away—served as visual prelude of voter reaction when all of the majestic promises fall to dust.

When the Democrat Shutdown failed so miserably, I was little surprised that the media already had a slew of Epstein stories already in the cue to get the base ginned back up. However, that seems to have fallen flat when the promised released exposed nothing that wasn’t already known before AND appeared more damaging to Michael Wolfe and (the former) Prince Andrew than to Donald Trump.

So, what I’m seeing as each Left Wing “bombshell” turns into a dud, Left Wing frustration with the inability to score any telling hits will demoralize voters even more.

So, I make a prediction—-come next summer, everyone should expect to see a “Trumped Up” atrocity to take place to get the Yutes out on the streets over turning cars and burning buildings. It is all they have left. It is their last card to play. It may be connected to ICE in some way, or it may be connected to an arrest gone bad involving some “innocent” BIPOC, but the production is already being planned, the posters are being printed, and the actors are already in rehearsal.

“…So, I make a prediction—-come next summer, everyone should expect to see a “Trumped Up” atrocity to take place to get the Yutes out on the streets over turning cars and burning buildings. It is all they have left. It is their last card to play…”

However I think POTUS is ready for that crap this time. Think Sec Marco Rubio designating ANTIFA an INTERNATIONAL Terrorist organization.

I do not think another ‘Summer of Love’ is going to be allowed to happen.

Trump Derangement Syndrome article

Is ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Real?No therapist would render such a derogatory and partisan diagnosis, but I’ve seen it in my practice.By Jonathan Alpert
Nov. 12, 2025 4:46 pm ET

Is “Trump derangement syndrome” real? No serious mental-health professional would render such a partisan and derogatory diagnosis. Yet I’ve seen it in my own psychotherapy practice. Patients across the political spectrum have brought Donald Trump into therapy not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread. Their distress is symptomatic, not ideological.

Clinically, the presentation aligns with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders: persistent intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation and impaired functioning. Patients describe sleepless nights, compulsive news checking and physical agitation. Many confess they can’t stop thinking about Donald Trump even when they try. They interpret his every move as a threat to democracy and to their own safety and control.

Call it “obsessive political preoccupation”—an obsessive-compulsive spectrum presentation in which a political figure becomes the focal point for intrusive thoughts, heightened arousal and compulsive monitoring.

I initially viewed this as an ideological reaction, an understandable response to a polarizing figure. But over time the symptoms took on a more clinical shape. What once looked like outrage now presents as a fixation that distorts perception and consumes attention.

One patient told me she couldn’t enjoy a family vacation because “it felt wrong to relax while Trump was still out there.” Others report panic attacks or trouble sleeping after seeing him in the news. Their anxiety has outgrown politics and become a way of being.

At the group level, the pattern functions like a culture-bound syndrome, a condition shaped by shared social triggers within a specific context. From a diagnostic standpoint, it overlaps with obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and trauma-related syndromes. While not a formal diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it reflects the same symptom patterns and behavioral mechanisms used to define emerging conditions. By that measure, this presentation merits serious consideration.

The clinical importance of distinguishing this pattern lies in treatment. When it is coded simply as generalized anxiety or OCD, patients often receive reassurance or validation that briefly soothes them but ultimately reinforces the fixation. In this presentation, anxiety has fused with identity. The therapeutic work is to help patients regain psychological distance so they can separate internal fears from the political figure onto whom they have projected them. That requires limiting compulsive information seeking and disrupting the social feedback loops that sustain the preoccupation, rather than merely reducing anxiety. We make similar distinctions in conditions like body dysmorphic disorder and hoarding disorder: The meaning of the preoccupation determines how we treat it. The same principle applies here.

What makes obsessive political preoccupation distinct is its collective reinforcement: Social media, partisan news outlets and aspects of modern therapy have turned emotional validation into moral virtue. Each act of outrage delivers short-term relief that reinforces the cycle, maintaining the compulsion rather than resolving it. At its core, it isn’t much different from other OCD-like presentations I see in my practice.

The term “Trump derangement syndrome” emerged as a tongue-in-cheek partisan label. The joke obscured the psychological reality in which a political figure becomes a symbolic stand-in for threat and loss of control.

Mr. Trump himself isn’t the pathology; he is the trigger. For many, he functions as a psychological screen onto which unresolved fears and insecurities are projected. Political disagreement turns into perceived personal threat. A smaller group of Trump supporters have similar responses of opposite valence: They experience anger and feelings of persecution whenever Mr. Trump is criticized, as if an attack on him were an attack on them. In both cases, emotion replaces reason, and psychological distance collapses.

Therapy, once a space for cognitive restructuring, has in some quarters become an echo chamber for emotion. Rather than challenging distorted thoughts, many therapists affirm them, mistaking empathy for effectiveness. The language of trauma and safety has migrated into everyday discourse, pathologizing discomfort and politicizing distress. Political anxiety serves as moral performance instead of a cue for regulation.

For many Americans, what began as a stress response has become a chronic state of hyperarousal and vigilance. In 2016 the reaction was acute: disbelief, anger, panic. By 2020 it had hardened into identity. Now it has become a way of life. During the 2024 campaign and into 2025, many patients have spoken with fatalistic dread about Mr. Trump’s continuing presence at the center of national life. Even hearing his name can trigger a physiological response. They aren’t reacting to Mr. Trump the man but to Trump the symbol—the embodiment of chaos, threat and loss of control.

The clinical challenge is to engage without reinforcing the obsession. Helping patients limit information intake, identify cognitive distortions and tolerate uncertainty restores psychological flexibility, the capacity that obsession erodes. As with other anxiety disorders, exposure and cognitive reappraisal are more effective than reassurance. The goal is perspective, not persuasion.

Psychologically, the treatment is differentiation. Patients must learn to separate internal anxiety from external reality and to see Mr. Trump not as an emotional projection but as an external figure whose significance can be managed rather than magnified.

For therapists, the task is to resist moral contagion, restore perspective and help patients regain cognitive distance. The goal isn’t to feel safe from Mr. Trump but to feel stable despite him. We can’t have a healthy democracy if half the country experiences the other half as a trauma trigger. The challenge, clinical and cultural, is to rebuild psychological distance—to see the difference between what we feel and what truly is. Only then can people engage politically without losing their mental balance.

Mr. Alpert is a psychotherapist practicing in New York and Washington and author of “Therapy Nation,” forthcoming in 2026.

My comment:

Want to make the dark fed agencies all bitch and moan to Congress? Simply propose a bill that (1) the bodies of assassins and attempted assassins of federal employees MUST be preserved for 1 year after the incident, and (2) bodies of victims must be preserved for 1 month, and (3) any and all relevant jurisdictions (city, county, state, or federal) and the family of the victim ALL have the unrestricted right of inspection, testing, and issuance of reports during those times.

Make assassination difficult or impossible for the rogue factions of the feds, and their clueless masters will bark like the dogs they are.

This is the way.

Make people do the paperwork. Prove it. And have drug testing and work/volunteer requirements for the able-bodied. And if you don’t have restrictions from a doctor, you ARE able-bodied.

The government could do what the Mormons do. If you are in trouble, the Mormon church will feed members. But they put you to work. Cleaning the church, mowing the grass, working in one of their food canneries, whatever. You get to “shop” weekly in their food pantry until you are back on your feet.

A Texan’s Answer To Welfare…

Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs
or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all
the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the common good.

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self-esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct.For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

The FBI is STILL denying it. STILL. Kash Patel is full of shit! This is from today:

Text of tweet:

“Crooks Case Overview: Over 480 FBI employees were involved in the Thomas Crooks investigation. Employees conducted over 1,000 interviews, addressed over 2,000 public tips, analyzed data extracted from 13 seized digital devices, reviewed nearly 500,000 digital files, collected, processed, and synchronized hundreds of hours of video footage, analyzed financial activity from 10 different accounts, and examined data associated with 25 social media or online forum accounts. The FBI’s investigation into Thomas Crooks identified and examined over 20 online accounts, data extracted from over a dozen electronic devices, examination of numerous financial accounts, and over 1,000 interviews and 2000 public tips. The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.”

Are any math frens here intuitive learners? I believe this may be the trouble w kiddo. He is able to do nearly all his algebra 1 so far in his head. To have him do the steps, he is having an emotional breakdown. I really dont know what to do. If any of you learn this way, how did or do you get through writing each step? Thx.

Gail Combs

I will ask hubby to answer this.

Gail Combs

OK Asked Hubby,

He said your boy NEEDS to make mistakes so he is forced to understand why he needs to write down and work thru the problem. Hubby says he needs some of the problems from algebra II.

He also needs books about mathematicians including Eric Temple Bell‘s books

Queen of the Sciences
Men of Mathematics
and several more.

Also anything by Martin Gardner

gil00

Hmm. Ill have to find some alg 2 worksheets w the steps. He has made some mistakes, and i always make him redo w every step to find the mistake. Today he took his test, 100% but didnt show all the work. However he actually says , in his mind, its different than the saxon step by step. And he gets the answer but cant articulate how each time.
I personally am not sure how to approach it.

duchess01

Most of what I found in my research was how to develop mental math – from the basics to where he is so it is backwards – maybe there is something in these articles that would resonate with you – and him…

Sir ES

Hi giloo!

The intuitive approach is very valuable to have!

When I tutor math, I try to teach how to *think* about math – the ideas, the rules, and how math progresses from simplicity to complexity.

I took Alg II & Trig in a 6-week summer course, but afterward, I needed pre-calc to *understand* trig. Learning what is coming after, helps solidify what has come before.

So, Gail’s advice above works!

“Mathematical Magic Show” by Gardner is excellent, and I would also recommend Asimov’s “Asimov On Numbers,” from the 1950s.

Lastly, it’s better to call exercises as “puzzles” rather than “problems,” and it’s also a good technique to try to suss out what the teachers are trying to test one on. It helps alleviate anxiety to consider the test-authors’ perspective.

Hope this helps!

gil00

Tyvm. I home school so he is on saxon algebra 1. 7th grade. He has a dvd supplemental daily lesson by Shorrman math. Saxon apparently does not have the appropriate cakculus bridge for vollege admission so this yr is the last saxon program. I am considering this program below, which is a full online program.

Prairierose

“Showing your work” or writing the steps out for a simple (or maybe 3 to 4 step) problem is annoying when you can just do it in your head, but once he gets to more complicated math (like trig, for example) it will be very helpful. I used to be a para in a middle school math classroom. Showing work was like pulling teeth for those kids, but later in life it helped them so much in the more complicated math classes. Good luck to you both, I found it incredibly challenging to work with my own children than it was to work with other kiddos. Just my 2 cents. 😀 

Valerie Curren

great insights…& thank you for your Para work. My special needs son got significant help over a number of years from some great para-pros!

gil00

All that makes sense. He needs another person. His dad is better at math than me, but hasnt the temperament for teaching.

bakocarl

One of several reasons to learn the process well and to document those steps on your paper is that the problems in algebra are going to become quite a bit more complicated and messy. Unless he has an eidetic memory, he’s going to need that structure and documentation to fight his way though the mess to the solution.

For example, a bit more messy problem might be to solve these two simultaneous equations with an inequality: y=x**2-4 and y<2x+1. If you’re gonna try to do that in your head, you’ll probably get a headache. Or, what if that simple example were to become one more step messier with: 3.1y=x**2.2-4.307 and 5.5y<2.304x+1.34? Same process, but a real mess to deal with.

Entirely correct.

He should be praised for his ability to rapidly come to a solution, and be told that it will help him double-check his answers, but that the methods being taught get to the right answer every time, even when the problems are too complex to shortcut.

gil00

Im going to have him read your msg, and everyone elses. Maybe he will take it to heart.

Aubergine

Maybe tell him it’s like drawing a picture. If you draw a tree with no branches, it just looks like a stick to anybody but you, who knows what it is.

So when he does math, he has to put all the branches on the tree. Because later, the math gets more complicated, and there are decorations, and there have to be branches to put them on.

Whimsical math 🙂

Gail Combs

That is a really good idea!

Aubergine

Lol, thanks!

Analogies are good.

There’s an old story of a math professor writing this huge bunch of equations on the board, while commenting along the way, “from Euler’s identity, here….” and “cancelling exponents here….”.

He gets to a step and goes, “from here, it is obvious that….” and abruptly stops. He tilts his head to one side, then the other. He then mutters, “excuse me”, and ducks out the classroom door. Students hear his running footsteps echo down the corridor. Some wonder if he was taking a bathroom break.

Soon afterward, students hear his running footsteps coming back to the classroom. He puts a large old textbook onto his desk, opens it about 2/3 through, then rapidly flips a few more pages. He squints at the book, then turns and looks back at what he just wrote, then squints at the book again.

He then says, “I was right, it is obvious,” and goes back to writing on the board.

Gail Combs

Hubby’s former girl friend (a very nice lady) had a math teacher with the chalk in one hand and an eraser in the other. He would ERASE the equations as he went along talking to the chalk board with his body blocking what he had written…

My Calc prof in college was the dean of math and could not teach. After 2 classes I gave up and just read the text (Thomas & Thomas) and went to the recitations and tests. The grad student finally asked my why I never went to class and I told him because the prof confuses me.

Pennsylvania folded, they decided to abandon the regional carbon trading market. Energy was getting very expensive. Trump will begin drilling in Alaska, something the [DS]/[CB] have been trying to stop. Coffee, Beef and Bananas will be coming down in price. The housing market is about to change. The [D]’s are pushing Epstein hard and there are some Republicans that are joining in. Trump has warned them, he can see the board very clearly now. The release of the Epstein files is not just about getting Trump it looks like the [D]’s are trying to clear themselves. This will fail. Trump knew that Epstein was part of Obama’s resistance.

As I lay down to rest, may my heart overflow with thankfulness, recognizing that your grace continually sustains me and that even in the challenges, your love remains unwavering.
Amen.

@Real_RobN
🚨🚨 Here is:

United States Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Essayli

Just found some of the $24 billion @CAgovernor
 Gavin Newsom extorted and lost fighting homelessness.

@USAttyEssayli
 “Gavin Newsom has made little progress on homelessness and provided ‘little meaningful oversight’ of those receiving public funds. We’re looking at everyone. If you steal money or allow it to be stolen, we will find you, and we will prosecute you.”

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced charges against two Los Angeles-based property developers in separate cases involving misuse of government funds meant to address the homelessness crisis.

Federal officials accuse that Cody Holmes, a Beverly Hills housing developer, submitted fake financial information to secure funds for a Thousand Oaks homeless housing project. The project was never completed, and Holmes used the grant money to pay credit card bills.

In a separate case, Steven Taylor, a Brentwood property flipper, is accused of defrauding a lender by claiming he would renovate a Cheviot Hills senior housing complex for himself, when he had already agreed to sell it to a homeless housing developer. Taylor purchased the property for $11.2 million, while the developer bought it for $27.3 million using public funds.

In other words: Gavin Newsom extorted $24 billion from the taxpayer, including myself, so that Democrats could funnel that money into the racket-empire they’ve created — all in the name of homelessness.

scott467

You’re looking at everyone, but you’re not prosecuting anyone at the TOP.

Like everyone else, you appear to be letting them get away, like always.

Nobody knows or gives a crap about the dirty real estate ‘developers’, and that’s exactly why you go after them. It’s safe to go after them.

But the people we DO know and DO care about, you only talk about them.

They’re above the law.

Unlike the crappy little real estate ‘developers’.

MAGA is sick of the cover ups and lies. Good questions, no answers. Why?

TheseTruths

That’s Tucker’s big reveal? I would prefer some text. I’m not prepared to sit through a 35-minute video ATM.

This has already been posted, but it is Kash Patel’s statement:

Crooks Case Overview:

Over 480 FBI employees were involved in the Thomas Crooks investigation. Employees conducted over 1,000 interviews, addressed over 2,000 public tips, analyzed data extracted from 13 seized digital devices, reviewed nearly 500,000 digital files, collected, processed, and synchronized hundreds of hours of video footage, analyzed financial activity from 10 different accounts, and examined data associated with 25 social media or online forum accounts.

The FBI’s investigation into Thomas Crooks identified and examined over 20 online accounts, data extracted from over a dozen electronic devices, examination of numerous financial accounts, and over 1,000 interviews and 2000 public tips.

The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.

What reason do we have to disbelieve Patel? If there’s something in Tucker’s video, he needs to spell it out. And innuendo doesn’t count.

TradeBait2

Why ask the question if you did not watch the video? It means you do not care, so just ignore it.

He lays it out. Asks the questions. But you will not be satisfied that he did.

TheseTruths

I said I’m not prepared to watch it at the moment. I didn’t say I don’t care. Your assumption that I would not be satisfied is unfounded and incorrect as well.

Frequently, people ask others to bottom-line what is said in videos. That’s what I’m doing. Tucker could have released a summary or even a transcript.

Gail Combs

It is a youtube video Under the video is a column of text on the left. Click on More. then go down and click on Transcript. That will allow you to skim the transcript.

TheseTruths

Thanks for that info. I have finished watching it and am reserving my thoughts for now.

Gail Combs

I am hoping there is an active investigation and it includes people in the FIB & SS as possible criminals.

TheseTruths

Yes, and if that were happening, we would not know about it. We definitely should not know about it.

Gail Combs

My thoughts exactly.

Wolf Moon

It is possible that the White Hats leaked this much to Tucker on purpose.

TheseTruths

Maybe, but I doubt it. He has that hurt, entitled attitude, bordering on anger, that says, “They won’t tell us, so I’ll dig things up because We-The-People have a right to know”—which is inexplicable to me, and which I don’t agree with in the middle of an investigation. You either trust that they’re doing their jobs to the best of their ability, or you don’t.

Bringing out information to make them look inept goes way over the line, IMO. It feeds into a narrative that puts the doubting public on the side of the journalist “just doing his job,” which is not a fair fight because law enforcement can’t reveal what is going on. The whole situation, including people’s clamoring and criticizing, is distasteful to me.

The main person who has a right to know everything and evaluate the job they are doing is Pres. Trump. He was the victim, and as POTUS, he has a right to know everything. I trust him to decide whether they are acting appropriately.

Wolf Moon

Just remember that there can be stages of an investigation where letting the suspects think the cops are inept, can be very helpful.

In this case, letting the other side think that their mojo is working, and that they have successfully shut down the investigation of Crooks, might be good.

Wolf Moon

I know that sounds like hopium, but nothing else explains how the obvious is being [apparently] ignored.

TheseTruths

If that is the case, then our side is falling right into it. It’s our constant criticism of the good guys that I get tired of. It’s our being used without people’s being aware of it, or even the possibility of it, that is fatiguing. IMO we should have more awareness of the multiple possibilities by now and be able to act accordingly. Thank you for bringing up some of them.

Wolf Moon

Yes. Disinformation and malign influence on the other side’s base via unseen forces are almost the definition of 5th-generation warfare.

One of the things about Crooks that is very interesting is that he flipped from one extreme to the other, but what was useful to “them” was what stayed constant – his belief that violence was necessary.

IMO the clandestine forces now look for people who are useful as deniable foci of influence, be that merely the deployment of disinformation and malign influence behind enemy lines, or be it for action as deniable assassins.

This aligns with my belief that Facebook was used to find people psychologically willing to cheat as election workers, and that information was used to then find and recruit them.

Thus, I think they are targeting people in Trump’s base by whatever psychology works on them – both at the individual level and at the larger level. Testing on individuals yields tactics that can work in mass media. A number of those have proven to be duds at the mass media level but not all.

The first wave of “Epstein frustration” was a very successful attack on Trump, but the most recent one was a dud.

Interesting times. One has to ask – how can we best resist their attempts to fray the threads in the unity of MAGA behind our lines?

Wolf Moon

At 14 minutes in, I have seen enough to know that FBI has a tiger of a case by the tail, and they are stonewalling correctly and as needed, so as not to fuck up the case.

This is huge – bigger than any serial killer case – bigger than almost any RICO or other conspiracy.

I have complete confidence in Patel and all white hats working under him, to do the right thing, which is to clam up and say “talk to the hand”.

I have complete confidence in Tucker Carlson to do the work of journalists and start letting us know what is going on, so that We The People DO NOT allow the black hats to stall the investigation and drive it into a mud pit where the wheels of justice get stuck.

The FBI are not stupid. They know it’s a real conspiracy.

The question is whether they know who is behind it. I suspect that they are now at the point where they know, but cannot prove.

TheseTruths

I agree. I don’t understand why people can’t see the need to “clam up.” IMO, if that means even lying to the public on occasion to protect an investigation that “has a tiger by the tail,” so be it. If it’s a question of lying vs. saying “We can’t reveal anything about that at the moment,” which would either give the answer away, would make people draw their own conclusions, or would give info to the enemy, so be it. I don’t care, if it helps the investigation. I don’t have a right to any information related to it while they are working on it. No one else does either. I hope that what Tucker is doing has not hampered anything.

Wolf Moon

Yes to all of that, and I, too, hope that Tucker isn’t F-ing things up, but I suspect that he is just holding up his end of a limited hangout.

Valerie Curren

I watched the video on double speed w/ subtitles so it took half the time & was mostly understandable, fwiw. Tucker talks about Crooks’ online comments, hundreds, from his YouTube account. There are images of the comments w/ yellow highlighting on the parts Tucker is emphasizing.

Aubergine

“What reason do we have to disbelieve Patel?”

This is not from the video, but from my own brain:

1) He said the 274 FBI in plainclothes with no riot gear were sent to “quell the riot” on Jan 6. Yeah, right. So, bullshit me once, and I disbelieve you from then on.

2) Claiming that Crooks, who had SIX cell phones and overseas encrypted accounts, somehow had all that and NO accomplices beggars belief. Who the hell has six legit cell phones? His house was completely scrubbed clean, too. And they immediately cremated him. And they scrubbed the roof crime scene within days.

3) Patel has only released this information because Tucker investigated and brought pressure to bear. We haven’t heard jack until that happened.

Those are reasons I have to disbelieve Patel. YMMV.

TheseTruths

MM does V. I’m reserving my thoughts for now.

Person named in Blaze story on pipe bomber (strongly) denies allegations, retains legal counsel.https://archive.is/z8Udr

We don’t always *know* what we think we do.

In the weeks after a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the FBI dedicated more than 50 agents to one task: Finding the person who had planted a pair of pipe bombs near the Capitol.

Again and again, agents thought they were closing in on the culprit.

Early on, they questioned a Capitol Hill-area gym employee who had purchased the same Nike shoes as a person captured in grainy security camera footage crisscrossing the area the night before the riot. Then they suspected a man who had been spotted snapping photos of locations outside the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters before the bombs were placed there. Later, agents found an actual bombmaker — he just turned out to be the wrong one.

Nearly five years later, the identity of the D.C. pipe bomber is one of the enduring mysteries from the day that triggered the largest investigation in the Justice Department’s 150-year history. It has also become the focus of conspiracy theories — and claims that the crime was an inside job, often accompanied by assertions that it was not vigorously investigated.

This account of investigative steps taken by the Justice Department shows that the nation’s premier law enforcement agency marshaled significant resources in the first year after the attack, mounting a coast-to-coast digital dragnet. The contours of the probe were first described in a report released in January by a congressional committee. But new details are drawn from reporting for the book “1″ rel=”nofollow ugc”>Injustice,” including interviews with law enforcement officers and government officials with knowledge of the investigation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, which remains open. Some said they were eager for the public to know how intensively the Bureau had investigated the crime.

“People claiming we were not pursuing evidence, they don’t know what they’re talking about with regards to the pipe bomb investigation,” one of the people with extensive knowledge of the investigation said. “The thing was massive. We devoted a whole ton of resources to it.”

Last week, several Republican lawmakers latched onto a claim, published in the conservative news outlet The Blaze, that a “gait analysis” suggested the person captured on security videos on the night of Jan. 5, 2021, was a former officer with the Capitol Police. The officer, Shauni Kerkhoff, was on duty at the Capitol the following day and testified in some of the first trials against rioters.

Steve Bunnell, an attorney for Kerkhoff, voluntarily identified his client by name in a statement to The Washington Post, saying she had been so widely and falsely accused in recent days on social media that she had to push back. “These shameful allegations are recklessly false, absurd, and defamatory. Ms. Kerkhoff categorically denies them,” said Bunnell, a former federal prosecutor.

Ed Martin, an associate deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, dismissed a claim on the social media platform X on Friday that he had determined Kerkhoff was the bomber. “This is false. Neither Mr. Martin, nor DOJ has made this determination,” Martin 

This is false. Neither Mr. Martin, nor DOJ has made this determination. https://t.co/CwWcb8rLHJ

0″ rel=”nofollow ugc”>wrote on X.

The article does not say that Ms. Kerkhoff is suing anyone. We’ll see. I would not blame her if she did, even though I don’t agree with her testimony against J6ers.

The rest of the article
The FBI did not respond to questions about Kerkhoff but said solving the pipe-bomb case “remains a high priority for the FBI and our law enforcement partners.”
In the months after Jan. 6, FBI officials declined to assign a single agent to investigate Donald Trump or those around him for efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election — actions that later became central to special counsel Jack Smith’s ill-fated case against Trump.
By contrast, Bureau leaders in the Washington Field Office quickly poured resources into the pipe-bomb investigation. They saw the would-be bomber as a key to understanding how extensively the day’s political violence had been planned — and whether the bombs were intended to divert police from the Capitol as Trump’s supporters stormed it.
One of the first steps that FBI investigators took was to scour the blocks around the sites where the bombs were found in the hour before the riot began — one near a dumpster outside the Republican Party headquarters, and the other near a bush and garage entrance to the Democratic National Committee building.
Agents found more than a half-dozen government security cameras and home surveillance systems had captured the suspicious individual meandering around the sites for about an hour the night before the riot. The suspect paused for a while on a park bench, cut through an alley and stopped again as a neighbor walking a dog passed by.
In each video, the suspect wore a light-colored sweatshirt, dark pants and sneakers and carried a dark-colored backpack. Several agents judged from the suspect’s gait that the person was probably male. But the individual’s face was covered by a medical mask, and a hooded sweatshirt obscured most of the suspect’s head.
Supervisors pressed investigators not to draw assumptions about the suspect’s gender.
“We didn’t want to have tunnel vision and rule out people as suspects,” said one person involved in the discussions at the time. “We all figured it was a man, but we never came to conclusions — and never excluded women.” Investigators also held open the possibility that the bomber had accomplices or was part of a group that had conspired to build and place the devices.
This video, taken at 8:15 p.m., is the last known sighting of the suspect before they allegedly placed the bomb. (Video: Obtained by The Washington Post)
While sitting on the park bench, the suspect at one point appeared to stare down at a phone, so agents began harnessing phone data to identify the device. They obtained cell tower data that showed phones in the area at the time. Investigators also served subpoenas on Google, which collects location data to help determine which ads to show users.
Those steps resulted in a list of about 120 devices, according to documents obtained by Congress and a person familiar with the case. Agents then narrowed that to about 20 phones that belonged to people who had no obvious reason to be in the area at the time, the person said. In some cases, agents went deep into those customers’ records, studying their call history and reviewing their internet activity. They came up empty.
The investigation, however, soon centered on the parts technicians found while carefully disassembling at least one of the bombs. The devices were “operable” and had been rigged with gunpowder, according to documents and one person familiar with the case, but their timers had not been set to detonate. The devices’ components included steel pipes, simple timers, batteries and a battery connector.
Agents began to catalogue where each item could have been purchased. For most, the list turned out to be long and included big-box national retail chains like Home Depot and Lowe’s. But the battery connector was different. Agents could find the piece for sale only at a string of hobby shops. It seemed like a critical clue.
The FBI subpoenaed retailers for credit card transaction data to revealthe names of people who bought the battery connectors over several months. They compared that list to the owners of phones located near the party headquarters around the time the explosives were planted. There was no match.
Investigators then cast a wider net. They pulled in reams of credit card transactions from the big-box stores. Had anyone used the same card to purchase the exact steel pipe, timer, and the battery connector used in the bombs? No. They also looked for purchases of any single bomb part that could be traced to someone whose phone was used in the area on the night the bombs were planted. Again, agents came up empty.
As investigators collected more information, data and computer analysts joined the effort.
The FBI sought records showing the time and location of every cash purchase of a battery connector or other potential bomb component, transactions that would leave no record to identify the purchaser. To attach a name to those purchases they issued subpoenas for all cellphones active near stores in the minutes around each cash transaction. Sorting the data became a head-spinning task, people familiar with the investigation said.
Another group of agents, meanwhile, analyzed every bit of video evidence of the suspect for leads hidden in the images. The suspect’s backpack appeared to have had a logo removed. Agents searched for similar backpacks and studied the size and shape of logos from 18 different backpack manufacturers. Again, they looked for purchases of the brand and model they thought might have been in the pictures.
A few agents focused on the suspect’s clothing. While the person’s sweatshirt and pants bore few distinct markings, investigators could make out sneakers with a unique dark-and-white pattern. There was one shoe that looked almost identical: the Nike Air Max Speed Turf.
Agents contacted Nike. There had been about 23,000 pairs sold in the United States before Jan. 6, 2021, and the shoe had been distributed by more than two dozen retail companies. Agents filed subpoenas for credit card receipts from Foot Locker and other chains. Several retailers could not track purchases by specific shoes. Still, the effort produced a list of almost 1,200 sneaker sales with credit cards to compare to purchases of the bomb components and cellphone data.
That process led agents to the gym employee. The person lived within the zone where the FBI had pulled cellphones operating the night before the attack. The person came under further scrutiny after he initially lied to agents about a leg injury, according to people familiar with the investigation. Agents wondered if the injury could have accounted for the odd gait seen on security footage. They served subpoenas for records showing his communications and movements but eventually concluded there was no other evidence tying him to the crime and cleared him as a suspect.
Nearly three months into their effort to track sales of the bombmaking materials, the purchases of a teenager in Cobb County, Georgia, raised alarms.
There was no indication the then 17-year-old had been in D.C. around Jan. 6, but his pattern of purchases was disturbing. Agents notified local police, who raided the home of Dylan Chapman. He was soon charged with possession of an explosive device, as well as weapons and drugs.
“It wasn’t what we were going for, but it was at least one good thing,” said another person familiar with the investigation. “It felt like we stopped something bad from happening.”
Local authorities later revealed in court hearings that they had received information about Chapman’s purchases at a Home Depot in Georgia from the FBI. He used the items to construct a pipe bomb that he detonated in a wooded area, according to court records.
Chapman’s attorney, Kim Keheley Frye, said in an interview that she and her client were unaware the case was connected to the Jan. 6 investigation. Frye said she had sought more information from local authorities about the FBI’s involvement in the case but was rebuffed. Local prosecutors agreed to a plea deal, and Chapman was sentenced to two years in prison in 2024.
Every January, FBI officials have renewed their pledge to keep working to solve the case. On the fourth anniversary, FBI Washington Field Office chief David Sundberg told NPR that the bureau remains convinced that “there are people that still know something.”

“Over four years, allegiances might change,” Sundberg said, “Relationships might change. People might recognize that what doesn’t seem as important to them might be a piece of this investigation that we could really use.”
The right shred of new evidence could still help connect dots, people familiar with the investigation said.
Before taking over as the Bureau’s second-in-command, Dan Bongino told his podcast listeners in January that the pipe bomb case was “the biggest scandal in FBI history” and that the FBI knew the identity of the bomber and “just doesn’t want to tell us because it was an inside job.”
On Thursday, Bongino

Without naming Kerkhoff, The Blaze article, or related claims in recent days alleging she had early on been a person of interest, Bongino said the FBI had been working around-the-clock “on RECENT open source leads in the case.”
The FBI’s efforts, he wrote, had “yet to produce a break through, and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public.”

New prosecutor tapped to take over Georgia election interference case against Trump
They just won’t stop.

The Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump appears to live on after the head of a nonpartisan state agency appointed himself the new prosecutor in the case.

Peter J. Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, will take over the case from embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Skandalakis announced Friday.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had tasked Skandalakis with finding a replacement for Willis by Friday or he would allow the case to be dismissed.

Skandalakis said he contacted “several” other prosecutors who declined to take up the case.

“The decision to assume responsibility for this matter was reached only after careful and deliberate consideration,” Skandalakis wrote. “While it would have been simple to allow Judge McAfee’s deadline to lapse or to inform the Court that no conflict prosecutor could be secured—thereby allowing the case to be dismissed for want of prosecution—I did not believe that to be the right course of action.”

Skandalakis said he recently received 101 banker boxes of documents related to the Trump investigation and an 8-terabyte hard drive containing the complete investigative file.

“Since receiving these materials, I have diligently worked to familiarize myself with the record and the status of the proceedings,” he said. “Additionally, I have attempted to review the evidence gathered and the hours of interviews and proffers of witnesses and former codefendants….” 

I can only imagine what that cost!

“Unfortunately, I have not had sufficient time to complete my review. With Judge McAfee’s deadline now upon us and my review still ongoing, I have determined that the best course of action is to appoint myself to the case. This will allow me to complete a comprehensive review and make an informed decision regarding how best to proceed.”…

This leaves the door open for him to decide the case is not worth pursuing, but I doubt that that will happen.

BREAKING: Georgia Judge Officially Drops Three Charges in Lawfare RICO Case Against Trump
Excerpt from CBS News:

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has officially dropped three charges out of dozens in Georgia’s election interference case against President Trump and others.

On Friday, McAfee ordered that Counts 14, 15, and 27, conspiracy and criminal attempt to file false documents and filing false documents, respectively, should be dismissed. Mr. Trump had been charged with two of the counts, 15 and 27.

Even with the counts removed, 32 remain, including an overarching racketeering charge brought against the remaining 15 defendants.

Earlier today, attorney Steve Sadow, who is representing Mr. Trump in Georgia, said that his legal team “remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case” against the president.

BREAKING: Prison Staffers FIRED After Stealing Ghislaine Maxwell’s Attorney-Client Emails and Funnel­ing Them to Rep. Raskin — Who Then Leaked the Stolen Material to Media Under a Fake ‘Whistleblower’ Label

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney Leah Saffian has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then funneled straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda.

Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, apparently believes his lofty position as a former law professor grants him the license to trample on the Bill of Rights.

By leaking Maxwell’s privileged correspondence to the media, he’s not just undermining the legal process, he’s trampling her constitutional rights, including the First Amendment’s protection of confidential communications, the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of effective counsel, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s promise of due process that applies to every American, inmate or not.

According to Saffian:

• Prison employees at FPC Bryan broke into Maxwell’s email system

• They stole confidential attorney communications

• They passed them to a federal official—Raskin

• Raskin then leaked them to the press under the fake label of ‘whistleblower’

According to the press release:

“The release to the media by Congressman Raskin (Dem., Maryland), of Ms. Maxwell’s privileged client-attorney email correspondence with me is as improper as it is a denial of justice.

Congressman Raskin is a Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, an attorney and law professor. He must be aware that his conduct undermines the whole legal process. His action should be a matter for professional disciplinary action.

There have been appropriate consequences already for employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan. They have been terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to allow inmates to communicate with the outside world.

The provision of those emails to a federal official who then caused them to be shared with the media is a breach of constitutional protections including the First, Sixth and Fourteenth amendments afforded to all prisoners.

Dressing the improper action up as ‘Whistleblower Information’ does not mitigate the fact that the mails were both illegally obtained and put to unconstitutional purpose. It is clear that no effort to fact check the credibility or veracity of the so called “whistleblower” was made by the Representative or his offices. For Rep. Raskin to seek to make political capital from such publication and from the content of personal emails between Ms. Maxwell and a family member is both shocking and reprehensible.”

TGP:

Maxwell’s attorney directly called out Raskin for falsely implying Maxwell was angling for a pardon.

That was a lie…

I remember reading speculation for what seemed like weeks about whether Maxwell would be pardoned. Raskin needs to pay for this.

He may well have to pay. If I recall things correctly, Pam Bondi and that Todd Dude had a very good relationship with Maxwell and her attorneys on this – so it would not surprise me if Pam Bondi threw the book at Raskin.

She blames “white beauty standards” for some problems among black women, including trying to keep their hair straight while swimming and working out at the gym. Yet she could have been a trailblazer for showing the “beauty of black hair” by insisting on not engaging in cultural appropriation. I’m really tired of the blame game.
