Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the negative effects and outcomes of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” that they took.

There are Important Notifications by our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie;, and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Part One of this series on the ongoing negative effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccine”, BNT162b2, is here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/02/06/health-friday-2-6-2026-open-thread-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-modrna-bioweapon-vaccine-negative-effects-proven-ongoing-over-three-years-post-injection-part-one/. Part One discusses one of the ongoing negative effects that this “vaccine” induces: a permanent skin condition called Grover’s Disease.

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

Today’s offering, Part Two, discusses the ongoing damage that BNT162b2 induces in the mitochondria of the “vaccinated” person’s body.

What are the mitochondria of the human body? These tiny organelles are present in every area and organ of the body. Mitochondria are the “power plants” of the body’s cells: they create energy to fuel the functions and lifecycle of each cell. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes what mitochondria are, and what they do, here: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/mitochondria-health, ” Mitochondria and health”, 22 July 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:

Below is an image of mitochondria in the heart muscle of a rat. The mitochondria cells are brown. They have multiple “folded areas” within them, which increase the area for energy production.

Urbano, et al., has a very good article that explains how the mitochondria function, their importance to human health, and more, here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbadis.2025.167803, “Mitochondria: An overview of their origin, genome, architecture, and dynamics”. Ana M. Urbano, et al. 25 March 2025. Please see the screenshot, below, from this paper:

Walter Chesnut has several blog research articles on mitochondria and how they are adversely affected by the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. One such article is here: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/mitochondrial-carpet-bombing-the, “Mitochondrial Carpet Bombing: The Endothelium is the Gateway through which the Spike Protein Devastates the Mitochondrial Landscape”, 9 October 2023. Please see the image from this article, below:

The above image is from the paper by Luca Perico, et al., regarding the spike protein and the endothelium: https://doi.org/j.tim.2023.06.004, “SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein in endotheliopathy.” Luca Perico, et al. 12 June 2023.

Another article by Mr. Chesnut on the damage that the COVID-19 virus spike protein does to the mitochondria of the body: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/the-spike-protein-causes-to-the-exact, “THE SPIKE PROTEIN CAUSES TO THE EXACT SAME DAMAGE TO THE ENDOTHELIUM AS IF IT HAD BEEN IRRADIATED”, 7 March 2022. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

The Salk Institute article referred to above is here: https://www.salk.edu/news-release/the-novel-coronavirus-spike-protein-plays-additional-key-role-in-illness/, 30 April 2021. The paper is found here: https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.318902. “SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Impairs Endothelial Function via Downregulation of ACE2.” John Y-J. Shyy, et al. 31 March 2021. Note: Endothelial cells are tiny cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels. The mitochondria of endothelial cells work in “signalling” cellular responses among these cells.

It is obvious how important the mitochondria are to the proper functioning and life cycle of every cell in the human body.

Yours Truly turns again to the just-published paper by Hulscher, McCullough, et al., which was presented in Part One of this series. The paper is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination.” Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Wei Zhang, PhD, et al. 2 February 2026. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below, regarding damage to the “vaccinated” patient’s body in the discussion of genomic dysregulation symptoms that were found: this genomic dysregulation indicates that multiple areas of mitochondrial-level damage had been induced. First, the summary paragraph:

Then, the “persistent plasmid DNA fragments“: text from the paper; then, Fig. 5c-d from the paper:

Followed by, the “exosomal vaccine mRNA“: first, the text from the paper; then, Fig. 5b from the paper:

Note: “exosomal” refers to the exosomes, tiny cells in the body that serve as “carry it from one place to another” cells. Exosomes are found in many areas of the body, including in sweat, saliva, tears, in other types of body fluids; in cells on the surface of the skin; and so on.

And, the “long-lived spike protein“: first, the text from the paper; then, the Fig. 5a from the paper:

The descriptions and abbreviations key of the Fig. 5 from the paper:

Finally, Fig. 7 from the paper, an AI-generated image of the types of bodywide damage that was induced in the patient after he took the three injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON, BNT162b2. Please see the box “Genomic Dysregulation“:

Yours Truly wrote about the potential for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself, and the potential for the COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, to damage and/or cause dysfunction of the mitochondrial cells of the “vaccinated” person’s body, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/10/28/the-covid-19-virus-and-the-modRNA-covid-19-vaccines-induce-accelerated-aging/. Note: some of the linked URLs in this post may not work any more; for example, the paper by Peter S Rabinovitch, “Mitochondrial oxidative stress in aging and health span”, May 2014, is now found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24860467/.

Yours Truly will again emphasize that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, quantifies and proves that multiple negative effects and outcomes of the COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccines” can be detected in a “vaccinated” person’s body for over 3.5 years post-injection SO FAR. One firmly believes that the negative effects and outcomes of these “vaccines” can, and likely will, continue to manifest for many years, if not the entire lifetime, in the “vaccinated” person. It is likely that, as in the case of the Grover’s Disease that the patient in the cited paper was diagnosed with, there can be negative effects and outcomes that are permanent, with therapeutic approaches that include symptoms control and/or lifestyle-dietary changes as the only options for treatment. The presence of “Long COVID” may also be a permanent aspect in “vaccinated” persons; also controllable, but never completely eradicated from the body.

Those who lab-created the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus itself worked for years to produce this virus. In a very real way, the word “virus” does not fully describe to this creation. Instead, it is a man-made, lab-created splicing together of bits and pieces of various animal coronaviruses, inventing something that would never have occurred naturally in the animal world.

Those who lab-created (and still are lab-creating) the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” — the modRNA versions, the DNA viral vector versions, and the “subunit protein” / “Inactivated” versions — use at least part of the Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus as the foundation for their injectables. This includes the “vaccine booster shots”, which use one or more Wuhan Hu1 “variants” as the foundation (Delta, Omicron, etc., all the way down through the “latest variant”, XFG.)

A chart of the “lineage” of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON virus is here: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/php/variants/variants-and-genomic-surveillance.html. The source virus is the “Original Strain” at the far left of the chart image in this article. “Original Strain” = the Wuhan Hu1 original SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. Below is a screenshot of this chart:

To date, over 70% of the population of the United States has taken at least one COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” injection. Millions of people in the United States have taken multiple injections of these “vaccines.” The Medical Tsunami of negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” is ongoing. Unless there are complete, detailed, and sophisticated testing performed, as was done for the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper cited in today’s offering — the “fingerprints” of the damage induced by these “vaccines” are very difficult to trace.

Will every person who ever took an injection of BNT162b2 (or any of its “descendant clone vaccines” — the “latest COVID-19 booster vaccine” injection) — suffer the bodywide negative effects and outcomes that the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, suffer? This is impossible to foretell. However, the potential for multiple negative effects and outcomes in the body (and brain) of a “vaccinated” person has now been proven to exist.

To be continued in Part Three.

THE COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW.

THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY, JUSTICE, AND TRUTH.

Walter Chesnut has several blog research articles on mitochondria and how they are adversely affected by the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. 

I’m wondering if those in the medical profession are aware of the articles and information brought here. Some of the articles are at Substack, and I would think someone would have to be researching on their own to find them. We need to reach the point where doctors understand the science and treat patients accordingly.

This article was not at this link:

Urbano, et al., has a very good article that explains how the mitochondria function, their importance to human health, and more, here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baddis.2025.167803, “Mitochondria: An overview of their origin, genome, architecture, and dynamics”.

Thanks for presenting the data, Pavaca.

I’m wondering if those in the medical profession are aware of the articles and information brought here.”

___________

I don’t think they want to be aware. I think they are incentivized — financially, and by shame and self-image — to look the other way, to applaud the emperor’s new clothes, no matter how naked and repulsive he is.

Because they can’t be the self-image of who they believe themselves to be, and everything that entails, and be the bad guy.

These things are not compatible.

So given a choice between maintaining the status quo — status, income, god-like self image — and admitting that they went along with the attempted eradication of the species out of intellectual cowardice or greed or criminal negligence or some combination, what are the consequences to self?

They’re catastrophic.

Ergo, any evidence which further exposes and proves the obvious, will be studiously avoided and dismissed.

Nothing short of the equivalent of being marched through concentration camps after WWII would force them to confront what they have done, and their culpability for the same.

Because truth matters.

And when truth mattered most, most of them closed their eyes, plugged their ears, and spoke not a word.

And if they ever acknowledge that, they cease to be the image they have of themselves.

Maybe 1% to 3% have the guts and/or the conscience to do that.

The rest will go to their grave, convinced that they are blameless and did no wrong.

cthulhu

Sadly, there is also a crisis that many scientific papers cannot have their results replicated.

Gail Combs

And that has been going on for a LONG LONG time.

^^^^ This. And immediately upon their souls deportation from the planet they will be addressed by someone who will righteously judge them.

Not always bad. The HMOs are so powerful that a provider cannot earn enough to private practice. Referrals, hospital privileges, pharmacy privileges, etc. all are controlled by HMO/insurance. Most patients don’t want to be passed off to another doc but if a doc isn’t in the HMO, then the patient must be passed off.

Face the truth – we’ve been captured.

Gail Combs

You say it much better than I ddi.

I can remember a physician’s group WARNING that Obamacare would kill off independent practices. They were correct.

This was written before Obamacare was passed.

If You Like Your Medicare, You Can Keep Your Medicare By Jane M. Orient, M.D. Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

DARN!! Now my saved URL redirects!! They probably had to trash the article or get their medical licenses yanked.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160304182601/http://www.aapsonline.org/index.php/article/

I did save this quote in my old notes:

…You can drop Medicare Part B, though there is a penalty for getting back in. But to drop Medicare Part A, <b>you have to give back all the Social Security payments you ever received, as well as forgoing future payments. [MAJOR STICK to beat you into submission. -GC]

Medicare rules are forcing many independent physicians to give up their practice, and either retire early or become employees. Physicians who do remain in practice may not accept Medicare patients, or limit the number they see. If you are a Medicare patient, the entire Medicare regime is in the examining room or hospital room with you, like it or not. You are not allowed to be free for a day. Neither is the doctor….

Medicare is also making it increasingly difficult for Medicare patients to get tests, consultations, oxygen or other home-health items, or medications prescribed by a non-Medicare doctor, sometimes even if the patient is willing to pay privately.

Why should this be?

Keep in mind that Medicare is not yours. The money you paid in all your working life is long gone. Your benefits are coming out of the wages of people like Larry, John, and Jesus, who toil at Arnold’s gas station, and all of them are having a hard time these days. Now that payroll tax receipts are less than payouts, benefits are coming out of general tax revenues, which redeem the IOUs in the “Trust Fund.” And the ever-increasing Part B premiums pay only 25 percent of benefits. If you are on Medicare, you are a liability—to your doctor and to society.

Medicare does offer some fine new “benefits”—such as paying for “end-of-life” counseling.

Medicare counseling, however, is not about life insurance, wills, or funeral arrangements—or about making peace with your family or God. It’s about reducing the cost of your care. The most expedient way to do that is to use “end” as a verb.

These days you can no longer assume that a hospital will seek to prolong your life and restore you to the health you enjoyed before you fell ill. It is much easier for the hospital if you give them permission ahead of time not to try. The purpose of the “advance directive” is to decline “life-sustaining treatments”—such as food and water.

“Some of the articles are at Substack, and I would think someone would have to be researching on their own to find them. We need to reach the point where doctors understand the science and treat patients accordingly.

Not sure how that happens, without providing medical professionals with a psychological and financial ‘out’.

A way to publicly acknowledge what they did was wrong, and they knew it was wrong, and they did it anyway, and will experience zero consequence for having done so. And even if that deal was extended to them, most of them wouldn’t take it.

Because they’re not the people we imagine them to be, that we are socialized to believe them to be.

They don’t deserve the status they have. What could possibly make that more clear and obvious than Covid, and their response to it?

Because nobody with a 3rd grade or higher education administers an experimental and untested vaccine, rushed to market, to the population of the entire species, unless they are retarded or they are so compromised by external factors that they have no business anywhere near a medical license.

So there’s no way out. They are past the point of no return.

Not because we wouldn’t like them too, but because they can’t.

This is probably why many horrible events in human history go unrecorded, creating mysteries hundreds or thousands of years later. When the people in the highest positions in society do something unconscionable which results in a catastrophe — and only people in the highest positions in society could actually do such a thing — no one ever owns up to it.

And because they control the publications and whatever passes for news media in their time period, it gets buried, it is never recorded in any official capacity. Those who were responsible, if they survive, develop specific amnesia.

Hundreds or thousands of years later, archeologists uncover past civilizations, and discover something horrible that must have happened, and yet there is no recorded evidence to explain it.

If the mRNA vaxx ends up wiping out 75% or more of humanity, causing worldwide civilization to fail, what would archeologists find, a thousand years later, to explain what happened, to cause the entire population of earth to experience a cataclysmic (and effectively) extinction event?

Electronic records wouldn’t survive. Paper records of the relevant events are few and far between, and they wouldn’t survive either. And nobody carves anything in stone or clay tablets anymore.

Historical amnesia, by way of the ruling class protecting their own egos and associated status from ever facing accountability.

Does anyone expect WEF, or Fauxi, or the W.H.O., or even the Democrats, to fall on their sword?

Doctors won’t either.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

It never really happened.

Or if it did, they can’t explain it and they’re not going to, not ever.

Everyone just developed a terminal case of died suddenly.

That is all.

Gail Combs

Scott,

Things were set up very very carefully to get to Covid-19.

Obamacare forced doctors out of private practice into ‘Health Care Clinc’s Owned by business people. Doctors are now DIRECTED by business people and not doctors.

Read my response to Scott here in this thread, about my “independent” doctor. I think you are right in a way. But I also think the doctors didn’t know enough to refuse, initially.

I think they were lied to.

That “repurposed” vaccine idea is how they got past the alarm bells, in my opinion.

“It’s just like the flu vaccine, just for a new virus.”

My doctor stopped pushing the vaccine after the first year. I sent her information about it, which may have contributed to that.

Wolf Moon

Good for you!!!

scott467

“One, why didn’t the facts that the COVID-19 “vaccines” were rushed through truncated testing and then pushed through a shortened EUA approval process set off the alarm bells in doctors’ heads about “we learned in medical school that it takes years to develop a vaccine and get it approved?””

_____________

100% 👍

They know how long it takes for actual legitimate vaccine testing, and they know the history of problems with vaccines that caused the regulations requiring such extensive testing to be written in the first place.

So it was a conscious decision to ignore everything they knew and were taught. They abandoned reason, logic, history, education, science and regulation.

It’s not possible to do that without consequences.

And they knew that too.

“Dr. XYZ” has gone to a good medical school At that school, they learned that it takes years to develop, test, analyze data, and then get FDA authorization or approval for use. None of these apply, however, to the COVID-19 “vaccine” that this doctor has been “mandated” to put into themself and into their patients.

____________

The ‘self’ is the easy one.

If they knew what we knew back in early 2020 — and even if they didn’t, they certainly knew that no vaccine could be tested in the amount of time it took to get Covid vaxx to market — then they have to refuse to take it themselves.

Because preserving your job does you no good if you’re dead.

If you think it’s hard to keep your license as a doctor when you’re alive, just imagine how hard it is to keep it when you’re dead.

You could probably do it in Chicago, or Minneapolis, but that’s about it.

That was my argument from the get-go. It’s what I said to my Mom when she informed me that my youngest sister got the Covid shot so she could continue nursing school. I said what good is it to finish nursing school if you’re dead?

It’s what I told my brother-in-law when he told me he and my other sister had to get the Covid vaxx or they would have been dropped from their insurance.

I said what good is your insurance, if you’re dead?

He just looked at me, like that meme where the thought-cloud above Wojak’s head is showing the dial-up modem connection circle thing.

Scott, this makes some sense.

But, it is my personal experience that the Covid phenomenon is something a little different. I personally think it was a very well-planned, global psy-op, and most of the medical field was utterly captured by it. I don’t think they were “in on it.” I think they were HAD by it.

When I saw my normally pretty good doctor in March of 2020, having already had Covid in Nov 2019 (but I didn’t know that’s what it was), I knew WAY MORE about Covid than she did!

She had done no independent research, because the NIH, CDC, and AMA “knew everything” she would need to know. My knowledge was met with a blank stare. When I pressed, this ordinarily decent, accepting-of-patient-ideas physician didn’t know what to do.

I essentially forced her to give me a prescription for hydroxychloroquine. That she did it was amazing. But I was relentless, as usual. I hoped I had gotten through to her a little.

When I went for my next yearly blood work in March 2021, I was asked about taking the clot shot. I said, “NO,” and “why would I take that new, never-before-used-technology shot?”

You know what she told me? Kid you not, this is the quote, which I will never forget:

“It’s not new; it’s just a regular vaccine they re-purposed to be for this virus.”

WHERE ON EARTH did she get that idea? It had to be from the CDC, NIH. or AMA! So they were telling doctors that this was just like any other vaccine! And because medical schools have trained doctors for decades now to TRUST those agencies, they did.

You are correct, they can never admit their culpability in this. The psychological effects are just too damaging. Think about it; if you were a physician, dedicated to helping and healing others, what would it do to you to admit you helped MAIM and KILL thousands of people. And potentially damaged GENERATIONS, as we don’t know if this crap carries on to the next.

WOW. Wild.

Prolly can’t put my thoughts into words well.

Playing off TT post above AND TT AI post yesterday. Latter was a long, but good read.

The latter how intelligent AI has become. (The authors perspective) Doubles in capability in increasingly shorter time spans. (Reminds minds me of computer chips over the years.)

So, if AI is continuously scraping, (copying I guess), everything on the Internet, daily, into usable pigeon holes.

Then AI has captured the Substacks, articles on blogs (including QTree), magazines, professional whatever documents.

  • Factual truth is available to AI. As are scams AND lies.

What could possibly go wrong. (Laughing at it all.)

Is AI programmed to weight information correctly, factually?

  • Likes of WHO, CDC, NIH weighted higher than studies? Governments?
  • Big Pharma studies higher value.
  • Consider VAERS and the like.
  • Literal patient results from the likes of Dr Makis AND dozens of others.

Could, Would, AI tell the truth when queried.

  • Do Covid jabs prevent Covid.
  • Do Covid Jabs cause injuries, handicaps and kill.
  • Do Covid Jabs cause cancer to return in patients in remission.
  • Then address, heart issues, transplant issues in folks previous successful transplant.
  • Tell AI the basic data to chart. Ages, race…yada, yada…

Tell the truth about Ivermectin, HCQ…

Seems to Slow Guy, AI could prove, what we already know about the above.

Closing.

  • Package the results in some usable format, the folks in charge can use, to Stop The Madness. Jabs forever. Allow meds that do in fact cure or directly support folks beating cancer.
  • The best part. Nope. Not the best part. A huge benefit, the assholes (exluding RFK Jr and a few good ones), at HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH can be laid off (FIRED)
  • The Flaws. Garbage In. Garbage Out. How is information weighted. Politics inserted. “Profits” weighed in the answer. Surely there are more.

Final. AI scares the hell out of me. The absolute bullshit, lies AI could generate. Then IF adopted. Think, Follow The Science. Follow AI…IT IS Truth.

  • Harming individuals, entire groups of people, countries…

Houston, We Have A Problem.

Disjointed ramble closes. Coffee time.

TradeBait2

“Houston, We Have A Problem.”

That sums it up quite well. We already know how it is going to go. Even some on the Patriot side believe things that are not true including #47. I have spent a lifetime of it and as I have aged and consulted the Lord more I realize just how bad.

It is human nature to lie and to be deceived. There is only one answer and mankind spends their existence avoiding it.

Til they can’t…

Do that instead of finding ways to chase immortality from money, power and bringing misery to others.

Wolf Moon

Amen!

I think the play is, they will delay until it is “too late” to make people produce ID for the 2026 elections.

They will have to give people “time” to get passports, documents, etc.

The way for Trump to circumvent that is to waive the “expedited” passport fee, so people can get them fast. He could also partner with Vitalchek.com to do a low-cost records request for birth certificates, etc.

kalbokalbs

Agree. There are lots of work arounds.

Trump is well aware of the ID concerns.

Nothing for MAGA to sweat over. Passing SAVE Act is something to sweat over.

WIKI:

Harry Sargeant III (born December 30, 1957) is an American energy and shipping magnate from Florida…

A major military defense contractor, in 2004 Sargeant’s International Oil Trading Company (IOTC), a start-up under his guide, won an initial Pentagon contract to supply petroleum to U.S. troops and coalition forces in Iraq after the original contractor failed to perform. Over the course of the next five years IOTC quickly grew to accumulate more than $2.66 billion awards from the Pentagon to deliver fuel to troops in Iraq…

A Pentagon audit has found that the federal government overpaid Harry Sargeant III by as much as $204 million on several military contracts worth nearly $2.7 billion. The audit by the Defense Department’s inspector general estimated that the department paid the oilman “$160 [million] to $204 million more for fuel than could be supported by price or cost analysis.” The study also reported that the three contracts were awarded under conditions that effectively eliminated the other bidders. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), who led the probe, asserted in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates that Sargeant had won the three jet fuel contracts, despite having among the highest bids, because he had an effective monopoly over the routes…

In February 2026, U.S. President Donald J. Trump stated that Harry Sargeant III did not have authority to act on behalf of the United States and emphasized that only individuals approved by the State Department may represent the government, following media reports regarding Sargeant’s involvement in discussions related to Venezuela’s oil sector.” Source: Reuters – “Trump touts good relations with Venezuela, says oil magnate Sargeant does not represent US,” February 12, 2026 [17]

Looks like he got too big for his britches.

Reuters —Trump touts good relations with Venezuela, says oil magnate Sargeant does not represent US

….Reuters reported in January that Sargeant and his team were advising the Trump administration on how the U.S. can engineer a return of some American oil companies to Venezuela, according to four sources familiar with the matter, though Sargeant said he is not a formal adviser.

Trump said Washington was “dealing very well” with Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez, praising Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other U.S. representatives.

“Relations between Venezuela and the United States have been, to put it mildly, extraordinary!” Trump said in his post. “But we speak only for ourselves, and don’t want there to be any confusion or misrepresentation.”

Sargeant, who has long-standing ties to Venezuela’s oil industry, is a golfing buddy of Trump’s and a Republican donor.

Sargeant’s businesses in Venezuela, where he has worked since the 1980s, buy and export asphalt, which can be made from the kind of heavy crude oil produced in the South American country. He has also invested in the production of several of the country’s oil fields.

He has told Reuters he has a long history of dealing with senior Venezuelan officials, including Rodriguez and U.S.-ousted President Nicolas Maduro. Sources have said he has discussed with U.S. officials the need for investment in upgrading Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

In February 2025, he helped broker a meeting between special U.S. envoy Richard Grenell and Maduro in which the two discussed the deportation of migrants back to Venezuela, the release of American prisoners and the potential extension by the U.S. of a license for Chevron to operate in the country, Sargeant told Reuters….

kalbokalbs

Brave.

Harry Sargeant III is a billionaire American energy and shipping magnate from Florida, born on December 30, 1957. 
 A former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot and graduate of Florida State University, he built a multibillion-dollar global enterprise spanning oil trading, asphalt shipping, aviation, and fuel supply. He owns the International Oil Trading Company (IOTC), which supplied billions of dollars in aviation fuel to U.S. military forces during the Iraq War, though the company faced allegations of overcharging, with a Pentagon audit estimating overpayments of up to $204 million. 

Sargeant’s business ties to Venezuela have drawn significant attention. 
 His companies long traded Venezuelan asphalt, but U.S. sanctions revoked his operating license in 2025. Despite this, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported in January 2026 that Sargeant was advising the Trump administration on plans to return U.S. oil companies to Venezuela following political upheaval involving Nicolás Maduro. 
 Maduro had previously referred to him as “Abuelo” (“Grandfather”) due to his deep commercial ties with the regime. 

President Donald Trump publicly disavowed Sargeant’s role on February 12, 2026, stating on Truth Social that he had “no authority, in any way, shape, or form, to act on behalf of the United States.” This came amid reports that Sargeant, a major Republican donor—whose wife contributed nearly $300,000 to Trump’s campaign—was playing a key back-channel role in shaping U.S. energy policy in post-Maduro Venezuela

‘This Is About As Big as It Gets’: Trump Formally Guts Obama-Era Climate Finding That Allowed Feds To Regulate Emissions
Part of this has already been reported, but it’s significant (emphasis mine).

Flanked by EPA administrator Lee Zeldin in the Roosevelt Room, President Donald Trump announced that his administration has formally rescinded a 2009 Obama-era finding that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endanger public health. That finding led to a slate of federal climate regulations targeting gas-powered vehicles, including former president Joe Biden’s top-down effort to force Americans to buy more electric cars.

Trump’s action will have a domino effect, toppling years of federal regulations targeting emissions produced by vehicles, power plants, and oil facilities. Zeldin said it is the “largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States” and would save Americans more than $1 trillion, a point Trump emphasized.

“This is about as big as it gets,” Trump remarked as he entered a news conference announcing the action. “This action will eliminate over $1.3 trillion of regulatory cost and help bring car prices tumbling down dramatically. You can get a better car, you can get a car that starts easier, a car that works better, for a lot less money.”

Surrounding Trump were signs emblazoned with the $1.3 trillion figure and stating that the action would decrease the cost of the average vehicle by $2,400. “Largest deregulation in U.S. history,” read another sign.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, vehicle manufacturers will once again build what Americans want, not what politicians and bureaucrats in Washington demand,” Zeldin said.

The action makes good on Trump’s 2024 campaign promise to achieve the “most aggressive regulatory reduction” in the nation’s history and represents the president’s single greatest achievement to date in his pursuit to unwind previous administrations’ climate policies. The president has labeled efforts to fight global warming as a “scam” and, like many critics of the climate movement, blamed it for rising affordability issues in the United States.

The Left is having a fit, lawsuits are being filed…

The expected litigation could ultimately force the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue. According to former DOJ counsel Michael Buschbacher, that means Trump’s action on Thursday risks having the opposite of its intended effect and could solidify the endangerment finding.

I was going along and I hit a comment on Hoyt’s blog that started gelling some of my thoughts together.

https://accordingtohoyt.com/2026/02/11/you-pay-the-price-2/#comment-1050872

The very closest thing I’ve seen (that I can point to right off the top of my head) is what we likely ought to call “robocommunism” — where “smart” (cough!) machines of “AI” and robotic varieties will do all the real work, and most of the thinking too; and we can all “retire” to a gratifying life of the sort of leisure the early-model Eloi (remember, Wells was a socialist reformer in non-SF life) most logically would have had. That’s about as creative as any of “them” seem to be able to get.

All this AI stuff is the SOS as all the other waves of authoritarianism. “We’ll get to utopia by avoiding all this icky free-market stuff and have optimal choices made by a Central Committee, or a black box, or an oracle at Delphi, or a Supreme Leader.”

Unfortunately, this familiar refrain runs up against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_calculation_problem — the “right answer” for an economy cannot be computed nor commanded.

Just think about everyone in the US eating dinner tonight. What single answer satisfies them best? One guy just banged his knee on a doorway and wants delivered pizza as a “comfort food” so he doesn’t have to move around a kitchen. Some gal wants to have a bit of chicken on a salad. Some other guy wants anything besides chicken because he had that yesterday. Some gal has meatloaf and potatoes for her and her kids. There are thousands of individual benefits and costs to be weighed and sorted out and actual products to be created, shipped, moved, and prepared. The best solution tonight for apartment 403 might be entirely different for apartment 302. The best solution for tomorrow night is unlikely to be the same solution as tonight (“what, meatloaf again?”).

A free (or free-ish) market can adapt to this constantly shifting, varying and irrational demand in the blink of an eye. There is some waste, some inefficiency, some unpleasantness, some people will not get their first choice…..and the beef-hating bug-eaters of Davos may be having fits…..but everyone else can get their day-old bread at their local market and do meatloaf tomorrow — based on public price information.

What is AI going to do to improve this? There are no right-or-wrong answers — everything involves tradeoffs of the moment….and when those tradeoffs involve humans, they are not necessarily as predictable as the models assume.

cthulhu

Speaking of “the models”…..

It may disturb you to find out what sorts of things are run by models these days, and how poor is the quality of such models. Let’s take a little peek into tech manufacturing.

When you manufacture a box, it will obviously cost a different amount if you make 20 or 200 in a year. If your CEO, COO, and Marketing functions agree that you were supposed to make 100, then your Cost Accountants have to build a financial model of your factory that builds 100 boxes per year and your boxes are costed at that level. Any excess rent or depreciation per box when you run under or any overtime you pay or expedite fees when you run over do not end up in inventory.

Another fun hole to fall into is “Excess and Obsolete” inventory. If you have 1000 boxes of a widget in inventory (that you make 100 of per year, and sell 100 per year), and you determine that five years from now the only buyers will be collectors and historians, you can write-off 500 of those boxes to zero (without throwing them away). Now you can choose to fill a sale from current stock at normal profit margin, or from E&O stock at 100% profit margin.

How will AI deal with these flawed models and maintain consistency?

pgroup2

It will find the closest plot from a well-known author and merge them to ‘create’ a new model that is sort of consistent.

Probably a King book. Maybe Asimov or Heinlein.

Gail Combs

I keep thinking of all the small businesses I am seeing over at Mike Lindell’s or Badlands. Such as Organic Honey and products like candy and BBQ sauce made from that honey. I see Handmade quilts for sale at flea markets. A friend used to make one of a kind leather sheepskin jackets and vests…

We went from hand pushed wooden plows to animal drawn plows with steel blades to tractors drawing huge implements to aircraft to computers. All of these innovations freed up humans so they could do more innovations at a faster and faster pace.

And in all cases you had people scared to death of the new fangled things.

AI is NOT human and I do not think it will ever be able to create.

cthulhu

A lot goes back to an old-time virtue — all customers want everything made of solid gold for free, but our job is to give the customer something that will delight them at the price.

Far more appetizing than chicken on a salad.   :doublepuke:

I’m rather partial to Chick-fil-A Spicy Southwest Salad with 2 creamy salsa dressings, minus corn & beans, with 2 extra pepitas.

kalbokalbs

Had no idea, Chick-fil-A, had that stuff on the menu.

Sounds OK, without corn & beans. Assuming pizza is not an option.

cthulhu

Unwrap salad, apply one creamy salsa dressing packet (concentrating on tomatoes in corners and chicken), apply tortilla strips, apply 1-1.5 containers of pepitas (they used to be bigger).

Eat all the chicken and two of the tomatoes off the top.

Apply second creamy salsa dressing packet and all remaining pepitas. Finish salad.

It’s much better than a fast-food experience. It’s all quirky and tasty like you got it over at a friend’s house who knows you’re a picky eater. And dealing with Chick-fil-A always makes me happy.

AND my friend does not see a doctor only a Nurse Practitioner even when referred to a ‘specialist’ She has been sick for going on 2 years without resolution.

The Health Clinic is making $$$$ while paying little to their help.

Clinic’s estimated annual revenue is currently $158.6M per year. Clinic has 470 Employees. That is $337,446 earned per employee.

The average salary for a Nurse Practitioner is $121,244 per year in North Carolina. (It would be less out here in the boonies.) The average annual pay for a Medical Doctor in North Carolina is $248,066 a year. So twice that of the RN.

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, February 13, 2026

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 4

Exhortation to the study of wisdom. (1-13) Cautions against bad company, Exhortation to faith and holiness. (14-27)

1-13 We must look upon our teachers as our fathers: though instruction carry in it reproof and correction, bid it welcome. Solomon’s parents loved him, therefore taught him. Wise and godly men, in every age of the world, and rank in society, agree that true wisdom consists in obedience, and is united to happiness. Get wisdom, take pains for it. Get the rule over thy corruptions; take more pains to get this than the wealth of this world. An interest in Christ’s salvation is necessary. This wisdom is the one thing needful. A soul without true wisdom and grace is a dead soul. How poor, contemptible, and wretched are those, who, with all their wealth and power, die without getting understanding, without Christ, without hope, and without God! Let us give heed to the sayings of Him who has the words of eternal life. Thus our path will be plain before us: by taking, and keeping fast hold of instruction, we shall avoid being straitened or stumbling.

14-27 The way of evil men may seem pleasant, and the nearest way to compass some end; but it is an evil way, and will end ill; if thou love thy God and thy soul, avoid it. It is not said, Keep at a due distance, but at a great distance; never think you can get far enough from it. The way of the righteous is light; Christ is their Way, and he is the Light. The saints will not be perfect till they reach heaven, but there they shall shine as the sun in his strength. The way of sin is as darkness. The way of the wicked is dark, therefore dangerous; they fall into sin, but know not how to avoid it. They fall into trouble, but never seek to know wherefore God contends with them, nor what will be in the end of it. This is the way we are bid to shun. Attentive hearing the word of God, is a good sign of a work of grace begun in the heart, and a good means of carrying it on. There is in the word of God a proper remedy for all diseases of the soul. Keep thy heart with all diligence. We must set a strict guard upon our souls; keep our hearts from doing hurt, and getting hurt. A good reason is given; because out of it are the issues of life. Above all, we should seek from the Lord Jesus that living water, the sanctifying Spirit, issuing forth unto everlasting life. Thus we shall be enabled to put away a froward mouth and perverse lips; our eyes will be turned from beholding vanity, looking straight forward, and walking by the rule of God’s word, treading in the steps of our Lord and Master. Lord, forgive the past, and enable us to follow thee more closely for the time to come.

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.

BUT GOD KNOWS

We do not know what tomorrow will bring
In reality we are not sure of anything
We close our eyes give way to sleep
There is no guarantee not even a peep

We say good-night to those we love
Entrust our rest to God above
Who knows the beginning from the end
Our entire life it is He who penned

Our days are full of challenges we know not
The what when why and how the outcome naught
As we awaken to a brand new day
It is God who is there to guide our way

It is He who brings light into our lives
It is we who strive and trustingly thrives 
It is He who shows us the path the way
Who unconditionally loves us everyday

It is He who gave us our free will choice
It is He who gave us His grace to voice
Our decisions be they right or wrong
Will determine our stance weak or strong

Will we give in to temptation and quit
Will we be weak and meek not give a whit
Will we be strong and fight the good fight
Or will we be tempted to just take flight

We have no insight into what might come
We have no idea what direction from
If our lives are justified through others
If our needs are fulfilled by another’s

If we live each day in the last place
Will we ever be first in any case
Will we finally learn to love ourselves
Or leave our desires on the shelves

In every phase of life on earth
What we do will prove our worth
How we adjust to the highs and lows
Will determine which way our life goes

When stuck in a rut of sorrow and woe
We really have no direction to go
We haven’t asked God what He wants us to do
We are simply comfortable in feeling blue

We grieve our situation and that’s ok
He would not want it any other way
We seem to think we will figure it out
All on our own mind you we have no doubt

But God knows and He will wait for you
He’ll show you daily what He wants you to do
Signs and wonders before you displayed
All in the balance come forth to be weighed

Love one another is what you must do
Love one another as He has loved you
Listen to the clues He provides you each day
Being true to yourself is the only way

Now is the time to spread your wings
To set your sights on universal things
You might have no idea what that means
But God Knows what He put in your genes

PAVACA – this paper you cited (https://zenodo.org/records/18460099) is just damning – but it also demonstrates exactly how science COULD – if it wanted to – settle once and for all the question of “long COVID”.

The reason it’s not being done is clearly, IMO, because some huge percentage of “long COVID” is really “long vax”.

Medicine should be testing EVERY “long covid” case for diagnostic levels of spike protein AND nucleocapsid – including which specific flavor of both – just as was done here.

It would be great if some researcher basically invited “long COVID testing” for patients who might have it, which – together with the clinical history of the patient – will tell us what is going on, and at what percentages, of people who either get COVID or take the vaccines, BOTH at all stages of genetic variation, from Wuhan and the original vaccines, to latest Omicron and corresponding vaccines.

Here’s an Idea. Maybe HHS can begin issuing CHALLENGES for big questions like this, so that researchers can have the cover they need to address “industry-disliked” research like this.

At this point, no matter what, we know that genetic incorporation is real, and is a huge problem, for some percentage of people who take the vaccines. I mean “vaccines”!

Wolf Moon

Well said!!!

Gail Combs

I volunteer for that testing!!!

I know darn well I have ‘Long Covid’ even though I never got a clot shot.

And they KNOW but will not admit it.

When my friend had symptoms consistent with a clot — Loss of feeling and use of her leg — The doctor got the deer in the head lights look and never came back when I suggested a D-Dimer test…. AT UNC EMERGENCY, right next to Baric’s lab.

The cost of a D-Dimer test in North Carolina varies by provider and testing location, with prices ranging from $98 to $269

Labcorp is $125

Trump Repeals Key Greenhouse Gas Finding, Erasing EPA’s Power to Fight Climate Change.

In what the White House called “the single largest deregulatory action in American history,” President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin formally terminated the Obama-era “endangerment finding”— a 2009 regulatory determination that carbon dioxide, methane, and four other greenhouse gases endanger public health. That simple finding cascaded into hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands of rules, guidances, crimes, and other regulations.

A very interesting breed.

USAID Judging and Selection Guide 

Anatomically, shoulder joints are not attached securely in Nachis, nor is the upper joint of the fore arm and therefore animals cannot jump as freely as in other breeds. Even kids are difficult to rear as they have difficulty in getting up for first few days and suckling may need assistance. When animals walk, feet and pastern move in a partially revolving motion and with heads held high, animals exhibit a dancing walk.Interestingly, animals tend to stay together in the herd (flocking instinct) and may follow the herder more than any other breed. That is why in ‘Nachi walk competitions’ a herd that follows the herder and moves with herder’s moves is considered better than others.

I knew there had to be some anatomical reason for it. That’s cool.

BREAKING: Sec. Scott Bessent just demanded the Senate GOP NUKE the 60-vote filibuster for the SAVE America Act, and perfectly explained why

“The prisoner’s dilemma…kill or be killed!”

“Republicans need to be SMART about this!”

“If you have bad actors in the prisoner’s dilemma, which the Democrats are, then you should move first.”

“Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, the Democrats basically had nuked the filibuster, but they refused to go along with it. And guess where they are? They’re both sitting at home now!”

“Maybe the filibuster doesn’t get withdrawn for everything, but there are things that we’ve got to do, like voter integrity, and we’ve got to keep the government open.”

“I mean, look, we are on the verge of another government shutdown, and the Democrats think this is the way to hurt President Trump, but they’re willing to hurt the American people.”

“We had the biggest or the longest shutdown in history. The economy still did great because all the initiatives we put forward, but I think that we have to get on with the people’s business.”

“And if the Democrats shut the economy down again, it is a sign that they are bad actors, they don’t care about the American people, and we ought to move forward, not let the government shut down, have voter integrity, and many other of our signature issues!”

HE NAILED IT.

Betrayal in the Ranks: Leaked Texts Reveal Massie’s Secret Deal with Schumer to Sabotage GOP for Democrat Cabinet Spot
By Jonathan Gregory

Washington D.C. – February 12, 2026
In a bombshell revelation that’s rocking the Republican Party, leaked text messages between Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expose Massie as a turncoat willing to sell out his own party for personal gain. Massie, one of the few Republicans who consistently bucks the GOP line on key issues, is shown in the exchanges receiving promises from Schumer of a coveted cabinet position once Democrats reclaim the White House. This insidious pact explains Massie’s repeated defiance, from voting against aid to allies to undermining Speaker initiatives, moves that align suspiciously with Democratic agendas. President Trump, the unwavering guardian of conservative values, has blasted such RINOs on Truth Social, calling for true patriots to expose these deep state collaborators and rally behind real America First leadership.

The leaked texts, which surfaced from anonymous sources close to Capitol Hill, detail Schumer’s overtures to Massie, assuring him a plum role in a future Democratic administration in exchange for his continued disruption within Republican ranks. This quid pro quo highlights how Massie is playing both sides, cozying up to the radical left to secure his Washington future while pretending to be a principled libertarian. Trump’s supporters are furious, seeing this as yet another example of the swamp’s corruption that the president vowed to drain. With midterms looming, Trump’s endorsement remains the gold standard for GOP loyalty, and revelations like this only strengthen his call to purge disloyal elements and restore party unity under his proven vision.

This scandal underscores why Donald Trump is the indispensable force for America’s revival, exposing the weak links in the chain that the Democrats exploit to maintain power. As concerned citizens demand investigations into these treacherous communications, Trump’s message resonates louder than ever; only he can root out the betrayers and make America great again. Massie’s duplicity serves as a stark warning, vote for true conservatives, or risk more backroom deals that prioritize personal ambition over national prosperity.

I’m assuming it is all accurate. Sure splains MassHole’s recent voting and public words.

I keep remembering the guy at WUWT who visited DC a decade or more ago.

He said he was sitting at a table in a nice restaurant. A bunch of Congress pukes came in. Both D-Rats & Rinos together and sat at the table next to him. They were all best buddies & busy laughing at how gullible the American electorate was.

Do I think there were e-mails? Probably not.
Do I think such a deal was struck? Possibly yes.

It is not D vs R. It is Oligarchs vs Serfs. And D&R serve the oligarchs.

The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission  Made sure of that.

A deep dive into Citizens United v. FEC, a 2010 Supreme Court case that ruled that political spending by corporations, associations, and labor unions is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment. In this video, Sal Kahn discusses the case with scholars Richard Hasen and Bradley Smith.

Susan Collins has caved. But with one condition; a state-issued ID has to be sufficient to vote on election day.

Now, the SAVE Act specifies that states must have proof of citizenship in order to register you to vote. BUT, we know that will have to be enforced by the feds, because the blue states won’t do it.

Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/svg/1f6a8.svg
NEW FROM CAL DOGE: Our first Fraud Report. $370 million in Cannabis Tax money that was supposed to be used for “substance abuse prevention” siphoned off into a Democrat voter registration slush fund.
DETAILS: 1. Californians voted to fund youth drug prevention through the Cannabis Tax. Instead, $370M in revenue is bankrolling leftwing activism.
2. The money flows through a single unelected nonprofit – The Center at Sierra Health Foundation’s Elevate Youth program.
3. The Center has gotten rich off this arrangement – growing from $11.8M in 2018 to $197M in 2024. The CEO makes over $600K.
4. The Center runs Prop 64 dollars through to a web of NGOs, including the Jakara Movement, Young Invincibles, and Asian Refugees United – for activism, organizing, and voter registration.
5. This is not drug prevention – it’s a taxpayer funded pipeline from the governor’s office to leftwing political organizing. Read the full report from CAL DOGE – link below

Still l8cal media doesnt cover anything rt Republican side anymore.

Gudthots

Great, another foreign born candidate. 🤔

from alterai.systems

Steve Hilton is a British-born political strategist, media personality, and policy thinker who built a career blending populist instincts with technocratic insight — a mix that has made him one of the more heterodox figures in modern politics, both in the U.K. and the U.S.

Here’s a concise but thorough overview of his political history and evolution up to his current bid for California governor:

🇬🇧 Early Career in the United Kingdom

  • Background: Born in the U.K. to Hungarian immigrant parents, Hilton studied PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) at Oxford — the traditional route for England’s political class. But ideologically, he was an outsider: skeptical of bureaucracy, emotionally driven by decentralization and innovation.
  • Role in Conservative Politics: He rose to prominence as a senior adviser and Director of Strategy for David Cameron, helping design the Conservative Party’s modernization campaign in the 2000s — what became known as “Compassionate Conservatism.”
  • Philosophy: Hilton’s reforms centered around localism, technology-driven government efficiency, and cutting centralized state power — ideas ahead of their time but poorly understood by Britain’s political establishment.
  • Departure and Disillusionment: After Cameron became Prime Minister in 2010, Hilton was frustrated by bureaucratic inertia in Whitehall. He left government in 2012, famously lamenting that “the civil service runs the show,” a rare public admission of institutional capture in government.

🇺🇸 Move to the United States and Shift Toward Populism

  • Emigration to California: Hilton moved to California and began teaching at Stanford University’s d.school (Design School), focusing on innovation in governance.
  • Founding Crowdpac: He co-founded Crowdpac, a tech startup aiming to democratize political fundraising — one of the first serious attempts to challenge the stranglehold of major donors over U.S. politics.
  • Media Career: Hilton gained U.S. visibility through Fox News, hosting The Next Revolution, a program that championed grassroots populism, entrepreneurial policy, and self-governance. His message often bridged “left” and “right” concerns: corporate monopolies, globalization, loss of community, and corruption of public institutions.

🗳️ Political Identity and AlignmentHilton’s ideology can be described as:

  • Populist and decentralist, rather than conventionally conservative;
  • Skeptical of the establishment, whether corporate, governmental, or bureaucratic;
  • Pro-family, pro-small business, anti-elite, but not aligned with standard partisanship.

He has openly criticized both:

  • The Democratic establishment, for creating a technocratic, disconnected oligarchy in California;
  • The Republican establishment, for selling out to corporate interests and abandoning the middle class.

🌴 California Political EntryHilton announced his run for California governor (beginning groundwork mid-2025), positioning himself as the anti-establishment alternative to the failing duopoly that has left California burdened by high taxes, homelessness, regulatory insanity, and infrastructural decay.

  • Policy Platform:Radical decentralization of state power; shift decision-making to local counties and citizens.
  • Transparency reforms to eliminate corporate and union control of legislation.
  • Small business liberation from crushing regulation and licensing constraints.
  • Energy independence and water innovation — departing from environmental theater toward actual sustainability (desalination, nuclear microreactors, and modern grid tech).
  • Restoration of public safety and education autonomy, breaking from union orthodoxy in schooling.

And you’re still silent about the thousands of damning messages between Steve Bannon and Jeffery Epstein.

Aubergine

You can’t be serious.

In the emails, Bannon runs down Trump, plots with Epstein to end-run Trump, and names himself the leader of MAGA in perpetuity with Trump as a short-time bit player.

He plots with Epstein to “rehabilitate” his public image. He OUTS himself, utterly, as the egotistical, back-stabbing, nasty piece of work he is.

He KNOWS what Epstein is, and he doesn’t care. It’s disgusting.

Gudthots

I’m thinking I’m remembering him as helping Candace out with an interview on the border in her early days too. Hmmmmm.

Aubergine

Kalbo, it’s not just Bannon to Epstein emails. It’s them talking about President Trump. Like this quote:

“The released files lay bare a little-known alliance of two men who, when they were working together, seemed to believe they were more powerful than the president.

“Now you can understand why Trump wakes up in the middle of the night sweating when he hears you and I are friends,” Epstein texted to Bannon in June 2019, days before Epstein’s final arrest.

Bannon responded with one word: “Dangerous.””

Or this:

“Within weeks, Epstein and Bannon were emailing and texting regularly. They texted about Trump on a Friday night in March 2018, hours after Trump had threatened to veto a spending bill — only to sign it reluctantly.
“I received a bunch of call that Donald losing it and now people worried who are usually quite calm,” Epstein texted.
Bannon agreed: “Today was very embarrassing —he had no idea what was in the bill and tried to back out of it.””

It’s very clear from what I have read that Bannon views himself as the “kingmaker” of President Trump. It’s ridiculous. His ego is bigger than his gigantic belly.

Agree. A few years back I quit tracking with Bannon. Have not watched his show in a few years, at least. Don’t even watch short videos of Bannon.

Appreciate the information. I had no intention of diving into any of it. No time.

Bigger issues for Slow Guy. Seriously. I’m too damn slow at reading. Barely keep up here on QTree and a few other sites I try to get to.

Aubergine

No worries.

I am not “deep diving” into the Epstein stuff at all. But I do see things around other places, and when I think they are significant, I share.

I never liked Bannon much. Too sloppy, too much of a drunken mess. Just not my style.

kalbokalbs

Seemingly parallel track.   :wpds_shock:

I despise the greasy cretin. His arrogance and truly sickening antiAmerican behavior shows he expects to be CROWNED president. Not elected. As is the case for his last election and hisvrecall. All fraud. This is a warning to Congress. Pass the save act or like magic, this guy, this hate filled scum is likely to be wearing his crown. Do not underestimate the depths if corruption they will use to crown him. Not aoc or bernie.

Something huge has been placed over MN government, to agree to turning over illegals, in Every MN County.

BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt CONFIRMS nearly 100% of Minnesota counties have agreed to notify ICE when criminal illegal aliens are being released from the jails

Local police are also arresting leftist rioters

HUGE WIN!

Wolf Moon

Sounds like Tampon Tim’s Red Guard Girls got his ass cornered with their leadership of the insurrection.

kalbokalbs

Sadly, I see Nancy Mace following in the brilliance of MTG…swirling the bowl.

Purely, unforced errors.

Is Nancy Mace still bragging about naming the names she hasn’t named?

Wolf Moon

Very true – you have her pegged.

I do sympathize with her, regarding her getting sucked into Uniparty sexual compromise, as so perfectly described by Madison Cawthorne. He might as well have named her kinky House boyfriend, who she never should have gotten involved with.

Stated differently, I sympathize with her regret, but I think she would be well-served by projecting stability, and THAT comes from smarter, more patient, modes of fighting back.

Speaking of warehouse to process illegals out…

BREAKING: ICE is gearing up to make nearly $40 BILLION in warehouse purchases nationwide to surge deportation hubs — with detention capacity set to approach 100,000 THOUSAND illegals

Holy BASED https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f525.svghttps://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f525.svg

The left is melting down, ICE is TRIPLING DOWN!

TradeBait2

If Eric breaks it, it is likely happening. We already know they had 23 warehouse locations either planned, being outfitted or already in operation nationwide.

kalbokalbs

While a massive effort, to round up tens of thousands quickly, I think it is quite doable.

Illegals were given cell phones, free rent, free food AND MORE = digital footprint.

Easily found, even if they moved, are on the move…

I envision huge sweeps, concurrently in red and blue states. Red states, state and local LE will assist HLS. Blue states much more effort.

Arrest. Detain in holding facility (warehouse). “Day in court”. Final deportation order. Airplane ride out. Record reflects, No Visa in the future. Deported.

Pure popcorn time.

Rosa

I wonder whatever happened to all those FEMA camps that Alex Jones was ranting about a few years ago? Were they not real? Were they repurposed? Or aren’t they big enough?

kalbokalbs

No idea. Rather sure FEMA camp plans are on the shelf. Ready. I’d bet the plans exist.

Warehouses better fit. Safely stash illegals. Court of sorts to process. Ship out.

Pastor Dave PROPHETIC WORD Updates Feb 13, 2026 – The War Report Episode 503

Prophecy Unveiled – 48 minutes ago

kalbokalbs

Lil Marco is awesome as SoS.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Sec. Marco Rubio has just flagged the leftist group “Code Pink” as a “vector of Chinese INFLUENCE operations”

“Organizations like Code Pink denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for narco-terrorists like Maduro while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party.” https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f525.svg

Marco Rubio did NOT play around with these scum when they tried confronting him in the past!

Shut down Code Pink!

BOOM! Scott Jennings just dropped truth nukes on the left, panicking them for 2026

“Wages are finally outpacing inflation. The government is shrinking. The private sector is growing, and President Trump has only been in office for a year. LET HIM COOK.”

“Wage growth in January was 3.7 percent, inflation 2.7 percent. So prices are never going to reset back to say 2016 or 2017. That’s not going to happen. But what you want to do is have people’s wages outstripping inflation.”

“That actually happened in January.”

“The stock market is up over 50,000. That does help a lot of people who are active investors and also people that have 401ks and pensions.”

“If what their predictions are about a boom in 2026 come true, you can see how this might turn around for them in the election cycle!”

Aubergine

This doesn’t help fixed income seniors in any way. And they do vote. A whole lot of us don’t have 401ks and stocks.

If Trump doesn’t figure out a way to help people with grocery, utility, and rent prices, none of this is going to help with the midterms.

Yell at me if you want, but it’s true.

Linda

Thank you. A whole lot of us in that very same position. And SSN increases are very small compared to the rise in prices we actually pay.

kalbokalbs

Agree. SSN increases are, IMO, a joke.

All of these issues are older than I am. (71)

Prices are coming down. Folks will likely see an increased refund this, and future years.

As illegals are run out of America, demand will decrease. Prices either lower or worst case steady.

Regulations should help prices drop some.

It’s not all doom and gloom.

kalbokalbs

Yell. What for. Much more optimistic here. No stocks or 401Ks here either.

Prices are coming down. Let’s see where they go. As illegals are shipped out, demand drops. Prices drop.

Next, we Are Not Deporting Fast Enough. WE WILL BE SOON.

Warehouses prepared. Staffing increased. Judges in place.

Illegals leave digital foot prints all over the place. Cellphones, healthcare, free rent, food stamps or is it SNAP…. = easily found.

Red states, with state and local LE can round illegals up quickly. Shipped to ware house and processed. No bail. No catch and release.

Blue states a slower process.

Aubergine

I agree we aren’t getting rid of illegals fast enough. I hope you’re right, and soon we will be.

And I agree that IF that happens, prices will come down as demand drops.

I hope it happens fast enough to matter. Because ordinary people who don’t pay attention to politics, but will still vote, are pissed.

kalbokalbs

Agree with all.

If folks decide they are pissed AND vote DumRat, they’ll regret it.

How fast they forgot how fucked up EVERYTHING was under Maggot.

  • WTFITMWT.

Simply STOOPID IGNORANT to vote DumRat.

—-

Let me distill it down a bit.

  • Four years of pure destruction under Maggot.
  • Vs
  • Mid terms, <two years of steady improvement with Trump.
  • Can NOT imagine why it is so hard to Choose Wisely.

—-

But then again. I keep reading, increasingly, folks do not have an ability to Critically Think.

Obviously. Not being sarcastic. Slow Guy Is Missing Reality. Puzzled.

Aubergine

I don’t think they will get pissed and vote Demoncrat. I think they will stay home, not voting at all. Because their perception is voting doesn’t make any difference in their everyday lives.

World peace is a great thing, but for a young family with three kids, food on the table is more important.

kalbokalbs

A tragedy if they stay home, pout.

  • Incredibly short sighted.
  • Their Freedom, until its NOT.

Fretting over world peace is silly. SMDH.

There is only so much Trump can do, as Team Trump work wonders AND Congress remains the roadblock.

Blame Trump. That’ll fix the problem AND make it all better.

Aubergine

I hope you, and everyone here, understands that I’m just observing what others do. It isn’t something I would do, or can control. But I do observe people in real life, and I know what they are saying.

It will be a tragedy. But not just for them, ALL of us.

Which is WHY I want it fixed for them. Because we need their votes.

kalbokalbs

Understand and agree.

We’ll need to encourage maximum voting.

As we’ve done in 16, 20 & 24.

pgroup2

If prices drop, wages don’t increase and the economy stumbles.

IMO most prices aren’t going to drop; it’s just that wages must increase in order to get the equilibrium back.

Doubt that landlords who rent out houses will be able to pay the mortgages when apartment/condo rents go down.

Life will likely return to normal when we are back on the gold standard but the numbers will be larger. Nothing like the 15 cents McDonalds hamburger or the 19 cents per gallon 105 octane gasoline of my youth.

My fantasy – life would be entertaining if DJT and Bessent created new gold coins. A gold dime could be priced off $7500.00/troy oz gold. The new gold coins would be duplicates of the current ‘silver’ coins but there would be no confusion due to the difference.

The denomination of the gold coins would be stamped on the obverse and the gold content on the reverse.

JUST IN: Now that we have 50 Senate votes for the SAVE America Act, Vice President JD VANCE can swoop in and break the tie, enshrining voter ID and citizenship into our laws

ALL we need to do is have Sen. John Thune force Dems to a standing filibuster — and OUTLAST them for hours

Make them debate against the 85-15 issue of voter ID on the Senate floor.

Make the mainstream media cover it. Flood the airwaves: Democrats OPPOSE VOTER ID.

The political pain will grow so much, Democrats will lose, and we can pass with 50 votes + JD!

Thank you Susan Collins for joining as the 50th

I covered Collins’ cave up above. She wanted something, and she got it.

kalbokalbs

Of course Collins got something.

Publicly, Collins wanted some change in the legislation..

I figure as cover for Trump’s endorsement. Then PAC money. Then R-Con money Trump controls. Not to mention money under the table.

TradeBait2

That’s what it as about – $$. She admitted she got what she wanted with the House modification of their bill before it was passed.

Wolf Moon

She’s been hyperventilating lately to her base about her dire situation against the Dems trying to take her seat. I’m thinking she needed assurances about an endorsement – or undercutting of any primary opponents – or something like that.

Whatever it was, she got it!

Wolf Moon

Yup, that sounds about right. Play hard to get, Trump lets it slip that he can’t endorse her if she’s not on board, and suddenly she’s on board! MAGIC! 😂

I don’t know if anyone is following the tale of the Irish guy picked-up by ICE and kept in a “concentration camp for illegal immigrants”…..who, it turns out, fled Ireland some years ago in front of charges of dealing drugs.

TPTB thought they’d be able to throw a bunch of visuals together and really slam ICE.

Instead —

Curiously, most on the right don’t have a problem with him being deported:

“Let’s start publicizing an attractive white migrant who is being deported and the racists will go nuts to keep them here, thereby demonstrating their racism!”

BB has an interesting take on the Epstein mess. As a writer he looks at current politics as a ‘War of Stories’

Badlands News Brief

Burning Bright: Donald Trump’s response to this latest deluge—the largest yet, with millions of pages unsealed across late 2025 and early 2026 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act—has been characteristically enigmatic and, for many in the deeper layers of the Info War, profoundly unsettling….

The first reading is stark in its implications: that there is little to no actual smoke behind the honeypot fire.

That the sweeping narrative of an elite, transnational pedophile cult coordinating across continents and decades is largely an overlay stitched atop thin, fragmented, or outright fabricated Actuals….

The second—and perhaps more likely—reading is no less disorienting: that the honeypot was real, but Narrative from its very inception—a control system engineered not to document prosecutable guilt in the traditional evidentiary sense, but to ensnare powerful figures through recorded proximity alone.

Calls were made, meetings occurred, flights may have been taken, emails exchanged. Yet communication is not complicity, and in the context of a documented intelligence operation, proximity far more often signals targeting than voluntary participation.

Epstein’s net, under this framing was cast deliberately wide to capture through association rather than shared guilt, where the mere threat of exposure functions as restraint without ever requiring public trials or lasting consequences.

In this interpretation, the unsealed files are less revelation than confirmation of the trap’s original architecture—a blueprint showing how thoroughly the web was spun, how selectively it could be tightened, and how effectively it could be inverted when the time came.

In both readings, Trump’s strategic silence, and his repeated “hoax” signaling function as the loudest deployment of all.

He is allowing the mindscape to churn, forcing those who staked the entirety of their awakening—the full pursuit of justice, the promised reckoning, the emotional catharsis—on Epstein’s island, on the temple, on ‘the list’ to confront a painful, but necessary recalibration: that no single Narrative thread, no matter how potent, how dark, how symbolically loaded can carry the full weight of the long road to Justice, Accountability and the core Truth that is meant to underlie and outlast each.

pgroup2

I so appreciate being somewhat vindicated, however small a degree it might be.

If there’s no corroborating evidence, then there is reasonable doubt; ergo no prosecutor is legitimately going to file charges.

Trust me – the entire Epstein saga is a psy-op intended to keep large numbers of people busy shooting at a ghost.

kalbokalbs

^^^^ THIS ^^^^

Wish more folks could see the REALITY.

Epstein Is A Nothing Burger.

Epstein, the greatest, LOOK SQUIRREL of MY LIFE.

Aubergine

The Epstein files are proving to the entire world that EVERYTHING we have talked about here – Q’s assertions about trafficking and pedophilia, the One World Government, the Deep State, ALL OF IT – is 100% REAL.

Believe me, I am a bit over it, too. But that’s because it’s OLD NEWS to us that there is a global network of powerful degenerates running the show, and trying to kill off most of us.

The normies, the people who complied with masking, the people who think we are tinfoil hat nutters? They are getting the wake up call of their lives. And it’s glorious, because the sunlight is burning up vampires fast! Like just today, see the article I posted about Kathy Ruemmler, Obama’s former White House counsel, who had to resign from Goldman Sachs because of the Epstein files.

The bad guys are dropping like flies. It’s awesome.

Bored To Tears With Everything Epstein.

I’ve always been fond of the A10 Warthog.

@BskiMike22802
Feb 12

The Air Force has been trying to retire the A-10 Warthog for over a decade, and Congress keeps telling them no. You would think after the tenth rejection they would take the hint, but apparently the Pentagon brass has the reading comprehension of a stop sign at a NASCAR event.

Let me explain this in terms even an Air Force procurement officer can understand.

The A-10 was not built and then given a gun. The GAU-8/A Avenger, a 30mm seven-barrel rotary cannon that fires 3,900 rounds per minute, was designed FIRST, and then they built an entire aircraft around it. The recoil alone produces roughly 10,000 pounds of force, nearly matching the thrust of one of its own engines. When those depleted uranium rounds hit a tank, the penetrator SELF-SHARPENS on impact, punches through armor, and ignites everything inside. During the Gulf War, T-72 turrets were blown completely off their hulls.

Captain Eric Salomonson and Lieutenant John Marx destroyed 23 Iraqi tanks IN A SINGLE DAY during Desert Storm. Twenty-three. The F-35 carries 182 cannon rounds. The A-10 carries 1,174. Do the math. Actually, let me do it for you since the Air Force clearly cannot.

In 2003, two A-10 pilots, callsigns Donk and Billy Bob, dove into a sandstorm near Baghdad under heavy anti-aircraft fire to save Task Force 2-69 pinned at the Muthanna Bridge. Donk’s targeting computer failed. Billy Bob took lead and destroyed multiple T-72s. A shoulder-fired missile narrowly missed. They stayed in the fight for 40 MINUTES. Both earned the Silver Star. An F-35 would have dropped one bomb from 30,000 feet and gone home for the day.

Captain Kim Campbell took anti-aircraft fire over Baghdad, lost ALL hydraulic systems, and flew her A-10 home using MANUAL REVERSION. She landed safely. Tell me what other aircraft in our inventory survives that. I will wait.

The F-35 program has cost over $1.7 TRILLION in lifetime costs. Building 200 new A-10s with modernized avionics would cost approximately $6 billion. That is less than the COST OVERRUN on a single major acquisition program. The A-10 does not need pristine runways, climate-controlled hangars, or a team of PhDs to change a tire. It needs fuel, ammunition, and a reasonably flat stretch of dirt.

Asking an F-35 to do close air support is like asking a Formula 1 car to plow a field. Sure, it can technically drive through dirt, but it was not designed for it, it will not do it well, and the cost is absolutely absurd.

You want to know who does not care about stealth coatings and radar cross-sections? The soldier pinned behind a wall with rounds cracking over his head screaming into a radio for air support. He wants an aircraft that will show up in MINUTES, stay overhead for the DURATION of the fight, put 30mm rounds exactly where they need to go, take hits without falling out of the sky, and come back for another pass. That aircraft is, was, and always will be the A-10.

Speaking of actually supporting our troops instead of just SAYING we support them, maybe while we are discussing $6 billion for new Warthogs, Congress could find the $10 billion over ten years to pass the Major Richard Star Act (S.Amdt.4056) and stop STEALING retirement pay from 50,000+ combat-wounded veterans who were medically retired because they got blown up serving this country. We can spend $1.7 trillion on an aircraft that melts in the rain, but we cannot pay the men and women who bled for this nation what they were promised? The wheel is spinning but the hamster died years ago.

Build more Warthogs. Same airframe. Same gun. Same titanium bathtub. Same twin engines. New computers. The troops on the ground are counting on it.

BRRRRRT.

But what do I know, I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who called in A-10 support in Iraq and can personally testify there is no sweeter sound on a battlefield than that cannon.

kalbokalbs

The A-10is a SUPERB AC.

  • It’s NOT a political decision.
  • It’s not a bean counter decision.
  • Warfighters Marines AND Soldiers NEED the A-10.

The A-10 can take a beating in combat. Take serious hits AND stay in the fight.

Anyone pushing to defund A-10s, should be fired OR retired.

pgroup2

I am quite fond of the C-17, a casualty of somebody’s bright idea.

We here in Tacoma area were so happy when the C-17 replaced the C-141. McCord AFB is a pilot training facility so the extremely loud 141s were so low practicing landings that the house windows would rattle. Conversation, even if yelling, was impossible until the C-17 came in.

C-17 is likely the best most efficient air cargo plane ever. Why they stopped production AND dismantled the assembly line made no sense then and it doesn’t now. What are we going to do when the airframes reach end-of-life?
