Stopped in to update metals and post one opinion piece…
Why is America so unaffordable today?
There are a lot of reports today on affordability as the media campaigns for Democrats to take control of the House and Senate this November. Many of the reports talk about how much things cost today versus 2020, while intentionally neglecting to report how much of the unaffordability occurred during the four years of Biden and the Democrats imposing unaffordable policies.
On Wednesday, USA Today ran an article about housing. The headline, “Why so many Americans can’t afford housing anymore,” certainly implies that housing has become unaffordable under Trump, which is intentionally false.
But look at these four bullet points from the article. Three of them are related to housing and renting costs during 2024, the last year of Biden.
Only 1.1 million new households were formed in 2025 – a number roughly in line with the depths of the Great Recession over a decade ago – as student debt, a weaker job market, and anemic consumer sentiment made Americans wary of striking out on their own.
Similarly, only 11.2% of Americans relocated in 2024, an all-time low.
As of 2024, 20.7 million homeowner households (24% of the total) spent more than 30% of their income on housing expenses; 9.6 million spent more than half their income.
Renters may have it worse: roughly half of all households that rent, or 22.7 million, were cost burdened as of 2024, including 12.1 million that were severely burdened.
So why doesn’t the media report these easily obtained facts from Google AI about prices during the Biden years and so far during Trump?
Average cost of existing house Dec 2020: $309,800.
Average cost of existing house Dec 2024: $404,400, up 30% in Biden’s four years.
Average cost of existing house April 2026: $414,000, up less than 3% in 16 months, or lower than inflation and wage increases.
Median rent cost December 2020: $1,100 per month.
Median rent cost December 2024: $1,695 per month, up 54% in four years.
Median rent cost April 2026: $1,510 to $1,673 per month, or down while Trump is in office.
The reason the media rarely tells the truth about who caused housing unaffordability is the same reason they don’t tell the truth about how Obamacare made health care so much more expensive (and unaffordable).
Biden’s energy, immigration, and regulatory policies are what has made things so unaffordable today, not Trump. Trump is trying to fix the problems, but that takes time.
The media hasn’t cared about facts for a long time, only power for Democrats and the destruction of Trump.

Black & Veatch: Biolabs Construction and Other “Special Projects”: Part One (of Two)
Yours Truly begins here: https://www.odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-releases-2026/4163-pr-10-26, “DNI Gabbard Reveals Evidence of U.S. Taxpayer-Funded Global Biolab Program”, 12 June 2026. This report was released by outgoing Director of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. A screenshot of a portion of page four of this press release is below:
Black & Veatch offers an immense range of services for its clients — everything from project design conception, to materials procurement, to construction, to facilities monitoring, to security apparatus and monitoring installation, and more: https://www.bv.com/en-US/who-we-serve. Please see the screenshot, below, from the company:
It is the Projects section of the Black & Veatch website that Yours Truly finds very interesting: https://www.bv.com/en-US/projects. On the left hand side of the webpage, one goes to Filter by:; then, click on Solutions, then to See All; then, click on Strategic Advisory, then to go page two; then, click on the hyperlink CBEP Ukraine Phase II — BTRIC TO 1 | Black & Veatch. Which hyperlink takes one to: https://www.bv.com/en-US/projects/cbep-ukraine-phase-ii-btric-to-1. The company’s statement regarding this project is below:
Why does the project Location state: Ukraine; but the statement by the company says Cameroon Ministry of Health?Is Black & Veatch building bioweapons labs in both Ukraine AND in Cameroon? How does this square with THIS award granted by the United States by the then-Department of Defense (now the Department of War) to Black & Veatch — https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_0004_9700 — for $77.9 Million dollars, granted on 12 September 2012? And for Black & Veatch work in Ukaine related to building the bioweapons labs that DNI Sec. Gabbard blew the whistle on? The story is covered both in Yours Truly’s Deagel Report link, above, and also here: https://expose-news.com/2023/08/06/cia-deagel-2025-depopulation-on-target/. It would appear that the United States (through its military) was funding Black & Veatch to build bioweapons labs in Ukraine from 2012 until recently.
But wait, there’s more! If one clicks on the hyperlink under “Related Awards Parent Award Unique Key” at the top of the page under CONT_AWD_0004_9700, cited above — one gets to ANOTHER awards page. This page lists an award that was granted to Black & Veatch by the then-United States Department of Defense (now the Department of War) on 8 September 2008 for a potential “obligated amount” of $393.3 Million dollars — with an “Ordering Period End Date” of 31 January 2013: which, apparently, conveniently “dovetails” with the OTHER award to Black & Veatch of 12 September 2012. If one goes to the “Orders Made Under This IDV” section of the 8 September 2008 grant, one finds more references to work in “Cameroon.” Also — if one clicks on the Page 2 of this section, at the very bottom of the “Base Transaction Description” list, there it is: BIOLOGICAL THREAT REDUCTION PROGRAM (BTRP) UKRAINE.
All the above begs the following questions: What exactly is going on here? Was / is Black & Veatch involved in building bioweapons labs in Ukraine AND in Cameroon? Why would Black & Veatch disguise work in Ukraine by referencing work in Cameroon? (Please see the company’s own statement, screenshot above in today’s offering.)
And, there’s even more! What about THIS award by the United States military to Black & Veatch, for $11.1 Million dollars, on 1 September 2021 and with a “Potential End Date” of 1 August 2025? And the award is for the National Vet Laboratory in Cameroon (at Douala; and, at the Garoua headquarters)? Please see the screenshot, below, from USA Spending. The award listing is here: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_HDTRA121F001_9700_HDTRA118D0003_9700:
Was / is, Cameroon being used as a “backup bioweapons labs location” in case the bioweapons labs in Ukraine were closed down and/or blown up? What is going on here?

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

How about some fresh Veritasium? This one just came out a few days ago.
I personally love prime numbers, and the “twin prime conjecture” is very appealing for people who love them. It states that there are infinite numbers of “pairs” of primes separated by just TWO. Such as 11 and 13. Or 17 and 19. Or 29 and 31. Or 41 and 43. Etc. Although, like all prime numbers, the twins get rarer and rarer as the numbers go up – but the conjecture says that the twins just keep coming.
On the road to proving the conjecture, great progress has been made – including from unexpected number warriors. Here is the story of one such fighter!
I’m making great progress on my own challenges, and hope to be back on the site more often, very soon.

In my opinion Iran was never just about the Middle East, it was about world peace and breaking the grip of the Cabal. That is why there is such a stark contrast between how the press and the rest of the world views the Ukrainian war vs the military op against Iran.
LIVE Q&A: Iran, Lawfare, and Why the Establishment Is Going All-In Against Trump
PARTIAL ROUGH TRANSCRIPT
32:00 Barbara Boyd: On a bill in Congress about merging Israeli & US technological intelligence: “ Well Hey. It’s already pretty effectively merged in terms of the Mossad and the COA and has been ever since James J Angleton created in essence the Mossad from the CIA. To me none of this has any magnitude equivalent to the complete merger of our intelligence community with MI6 and Five Eyes and NATO. Which is far, far, far more dangerous, more disgusting and more off the mark in terms of a native US-Based intelligence compared to anything Israel could think about…
36:20 Iran having a nuclear weapon is a threat to the world. Iran started off negotiations with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff by saying, we have enough nuclear material for nine bombs right now. That is a genuine threat to the world. You are seeing how the IRGC operates before your eyes. It has been that way for a very, very long time. There is no terrorist operation in the world which doesn’t benefit in some fundamental way. They are not independent. And most of what the IRGC is and everything else comes from the City of London’s long time control of every single terrorist operation in the Middle East. Be they Shiite or Be they Sunni.
Trump stopped that at the beginning of his very first term with his visit to Saudi Arabia. Trump said, the USA is out of this game PERIOD. And that in part is the long history of what this is really all about.
37:50 Mike Steger: The Middle East is the cockpit for escalated war on a Global scale. Iran was set up as part of that agenda. We have documented this. Bernard Lewis, Brzeziński, this was radical Islam used as a basic weapon to threaten the world. [And push it] into a kind of chaos which then Lloyds and others would control and profit and monetize.
Trump realizes that [and] he has dedicated more time in his presidency to stabilizing the Middle East. And there is no doubt that the situation in the Middle East on October 7th which escalated into this horrific war in Gaza came out of Iran and Iran’s interests – Largely British – but through Iran to destabilize the Middle East AND PREVENT THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS, TO PREVENT LONG-TERM PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. [Ghost in the last video on this page goes into the actual play-by-play of how the Abraham Accords were de-railed. -GC]
38:40 The reality is you have a military cult in the IRGC which controls upward of 50% of the entire Iranian economy. I do not think the clerics or the so-called democratically elected political representatives have had any real control in that country for quite some time if ever… I think the situation is far more dangerous than Iran. And I will point to just one clear evidence of that.
[Ghost goes even further and thinks Iran was all about starting a nuclear war. As I wrote in THECASEFORNUCLEARWAR I think the Cabal is crazy enough to want to start one. –GC]
Kim Jong-un and Trump could have one-on-one direct dialogue. They are having ongoing letter and other correspondence as we speak. He has had that since he came back in. There was NEVER a chance to have dialogue with the clerics or the Ayatollah because the reality is the Ayatollah has not really been holding real power. I think that is the fundamental difference. You can’t trust Iran because you actually don’t have a sense of who is really in power. That is why the negotiations have been hung up. Because there is not a real center of power in Iran to give it a coherent nation state status. [So WHO and WHERE is that center of power? In the UK where the Ayatollah and top IRGC commanders have property?? GC]
43:00 Mike Steger: I think there’s been a kind of a fight in China and it’s not been maybe a balanced one per se. What the communism of Mao was set up, largely by kind of British and globalist interests, to play, is the exact role China was beginning to play in this kind of globalist globalized economy. They became the kind of sweat shop of the world. Cheap labor supply, cheap manufacturing, and what you saw was a rise of billionaires dominating China. And that’s been a kind of corruption that China now is trying to confront and clean out.
What Trump’s challenging China is to say, look, that doesn’t function. That doesn’t work. And there are some people in China at various political levels who recognize that that is not the pathway to go. That it’s led to intrinsic corruption in China, that it leads to political instability. But China’s got a difficult problem. They’ve got to try to hold the nation together. And it’s been a 2,000-year-old problem in China. The Chinese like to break off into their own separate provinces, their own separate princedoms and kingdoms. It’s hard to hold the nation together. So that’s kind of an underlying threat that China constantly faces. And they’ve tried to nationalize with the Mandarin language. There’s all kinds of things they’ve had to do that most people wouldn’t have any idea of, to try to rectify this lack of real national unity inside China… [This agrees with the little I have learned of China. Ghost & Alpha Warrior distinguish between the CCP and Xi. The CCP being the Chinese Deep State. Also given the amount of trouble Xi has handling China, I doubt he wants to actually control anymore land except as tribute states (Belt & Road). –GC]
45:00 Trump has shown in Iran that we are killing the old system. The vestiges of this kind of divided world, this kind of a new cold war era of China, Iran, Russia, North Korea as a block. He’s saying, “We’re killing that system. You’re not going to benefit off of cheap Iranian oil, but we’re going to have a much longer term stable system led by the United States, founded on the US dollar-based system, but based on nations having the right to industrialize, build up, and to thrive. A system of nation states.” And I think there are some in China. I think probably this is the dialogue President Trump is having with Chairman Xi that this is where he’s taking the world and that chairman Xi is well aware that that would be best long-term for China because it really doesn’t have the ability to play the role of a global economic hegemon. That’s just British imperial thinking that’s made its way into China through various aspects including Maoism. So, I think that’s the presentation Trump is making. And I think he’s got to be forceful because if you don’t kill the old system, it’s very difficult for people holding on to the status quo to ever leave it and jump into the new one. I would just add that, China was essentially manipulated based on the WTO — this whole idea of globalization — to become the sweat shop of the world. That’s not really what any nation wants to be….
Steve Bannon and others who continue to insist that we have to go to war with China are not understanding what the president is actually doing and that’s why Mike is quite right…
51:00 Adam: And then here’s one from Cool Cool Roy which I think is actually a much more important question than people realize. “Would you agree that playing the hate and blame game is one of the greatest forms of self- oppression and government oppression on earth?” Before I open it up, let me just say yes. And the way that people describe it sometimes is the victim mentality. Become victimized by some other group or some other ideology, some other identity. Barbara and Mike, your thoughts on this super chat here.
51:30 Barbara Boyd: I think this is a good one. Mike’s pointing to me, so I’ll start.
Okay. Aristotle and Carl Schmidt, the German legal theorist and Nazi, basically had this idea that you don’t know who you are unless you have an enemy. In other words, you define yourself by your enemy. By something terribly negative. You don’t define who you really are, what your mission is here on this earth, and what reality actually is in terms of of how you deal with it. That is human. What Carl Schmidt and Aristotle believed is best deal because you end up in a cycle of endless wars out of all of that and kind of tribal policing of yourselves based on tribal ideas and identities rather than superseding them to actually fulfill our mission here on earth. Genesis tells us what it is. Go forth, multiply and subdue the earth. I really think that’s completely different than either Aristotle or Carl Schmidt.
Carl Schmidt, — I just went and reminded myself, his entire thesis was based on the friend – enemy distinction. That was kind of like the central thesis to it. This kind of issue of building these gangs and encounter gangs of different varieties and then having that kind of gang counter gang warfare play out in the public sphere. That in my mind is basically what’s been controlling essentially all of modern politics. It is using that control mechanism in one way or another for sure. Mike, any thoughts?
53:42 Mike Steger: Yeah, Let’s just take it into the British question, because this is how they tried to control their empire. They did it n East Africa. 👉But probably the most famous case is in India. Where Hindus were the majority, the British power would back the Muslim minority and to aggravate the sense that the Hindus had a right if they had the majority to direct where they wanted to go. But in the Muslim controlled areas near the Indus in West India which is now Pakistan they would back the Hindu minority and aggravate the Muslim majority to the point where you would get this kind of potential for a major backlash👈… It’s not parody in terms of the kind of conditions, but you get this emotional backlash that creates civil war. And that’s exactly what happened in India when the British left in 1947. A civil war broke out on religious lines, killing up to two million people. And that’s the kind of thing you see them attempting to provoke, whether it’s in Belfast or the Henry Nowak: case or the George Floyd dynamic in the United States. They’re trying to create and instigate this kind of reaction. [Crypto Rich, a Muslim, informed Mike of this in a lot greater detail in his recent podcast. -GC]
You can see this if you go to X because it’s so visceral so guttural that it dominates a lot of the social media discussion. That’s why, on Promethean Action, we focus on unifying the country. Our strength is unity and orienting towards the redevelopment of the nation. To rebuilding it just like you want to unify the church as an ecumenical mission, as a good Christian, you want to unify the nation towards a mission of industrial and scientific advancement…
AI DATA CENTERS
1:02:07 Mike Steger: I think there’s a number of things. It’s clear that this data center AI comes out of Silicon Valley. There’s very little to trust about a lot of these institutions. The way they’ve run the social media process, what they’ve run with social control, what they did with censorship, how they were back doors to the intelligence community. All of that’s true. All of that’s worth not trusting. But at the same time, there is a real viability to AI applications, but not necessarily the way that a lot of these AI firms are talking about it.
So, there’s a lot of this idea that we can deliver it to personal consumers and it’s going to be some big financial gain based like social media was broad-based consumption on every phone, every young person. The reality is that AI is probably going to be far more profitable and useful as it’s integrated into the re-industrialization of the United States because there’s real applications connecting it to an industrial robotic and high-tech process of manufacturing of logistics. So there’s real benefit to these kinds of advancements. It’s always a double-edged sword. How do you apply it? Do you apply it towards social control which has been the IC Silicon Valley modus operandi for 25, 30 40 years or is it going to be applied towards a new re-industrialized United States? There are certainly very clear aspects of Trump, of the JD Vance, of this new Republican party, who see that they’re building up the industrial firms, they’re broadening out the defense contractor base with new firms who are looking to apply these things, to integrate it into real manufacturing and production, to increase the kind of broad-based wealth of the country.
Now that said, how we deal with data centers is something that we’ve got to think through as a country. Doing it in big farmland areas doesn’t make a lot of sense. There was a proposal to do it in Buick City up in Flint, which was prior to River Rouge where Ford did the largest factory at the time. It was Buick City up in Flint. That was a massive start to finish raw material to finish automotive product in one plant.
Now that’s been laid waste for a long time and there was proposal to put data centers there. Now Flynn has knocked it out. Like to me it makes a lot more sense to put them into brown fields where you have connected water and power supply than to do it into open farmlands. Much like power centers should be integrated into city centers and industry, not just, solar panels all over our corn fields. So, I think we’ve got to think this thing through. I think that there’s plays on both sides as Barbara’s pointed out. Maybe she wants to go into more depth today.
There’s clearly other aspects. There was a lot of propaganda push from Russian news networks to target our fracking industry. You know, 15, 20 years ago, they really tried to undercut the idea of fracking. They got the whole left in America to be anti-fracking even though that’s what’s created all of this natural gas that these green environmentalists have been obsessed with. The same thing is true today with China because there is a real race for AI that’s real and largely because China sees it. China knows even maybe better than a lot of Americans that this AI is going to be a boon towards their manufacturing and productive sector and they sought to have global control of that. So I think the question is re-industrializing thinking about how we use these AI data centers. Even as Trump said making sure that these AI companies are treated like pharmaceutical companies. You can’t just release these new models. We have to know what they’re actually going to be doing. What kind of effect they have….
so we’ve got to regulate it. We might have to integrate it, but we have to be smart about it. It’s a double-edged sword. We can’t become anti-technology, but we can’t allow the model of Silicon Valley and social control to continue to dominate the way we let these companies become big major firms in the United States. And I think that’s a political question. It’s a question of political power. And it’s the kind of challenge that self-government creates because we can just either hand it to the experts and be ruled by oligarchy or if we’re going to deal with it, we’ve got to deal with it in a smart way and not just react because there are certain forces that want to control our reaction. They want us to react and shut this thing down and we’ve got to be smart about it. So that’s kind of how I think about it.
1:06:40 Barbara Boyd: I had pointed out I think last week that Kevin O’Leary who you know is famous from TV, is actually building a data center in Utah and started getting all sorts of strange stuff that he wasn’t doing in terms of zoning and everything else. Big attacks on him. He hired a firm to actually track down where all this was coming from. Unsurprisingly he proved that it was coming from China. Which makes a whole lot of sense. Okay, We’re in a race as to who is going to actually develop the useful aspects of this first and foremost. Data centers are a requirement of that. That said, you’ve got to take into account environment. You shouldn’t be building it on, farmland, which should be in agriculture at this point. And is a really big deal out there because we have problems with our farmers, which have nothing to do with AI. [Goes into food Cartels]
POLITICAL ISLAM
1:50:00 Adam: Sha says “I think you are missing the plan of Islam.” Barbara and Mike your thoughts on this one? Are are we missing the plan of Islam?
Barbara Boyd: No, we’re not missing it. You got to understand a little bit about Islam as a religion. All right? There’s two sides to it. There is so-called political Islam, which was largely an invention. And you know, some of my Muslim friends will actually get mad at me at this point, but that was actually an invention of the Arab Bureau of British Secret Intelligence for purposes of using Islam as a weapon in this whole dynamic in the Middle East to have gangs and counter gangs. Basically, revisionist Zionism versus political Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood being the biggest example of that. Obviously the Muslim Brotherhood and those who are looking to have a re-founding of the caliphate, even Turkey wants that, are looking towards proselytizing other people in the world to become part of Islam or they’re considered to be enemies of the religion that is essentially what you’re talking about when you talk about the Plan of Islam. Most Muslims do not subscribe to this at all. So, you got to be very careful here and make the distinction and figure out whether you’re being pushed into something that really is not all that big a deal. I think the last time I looked demographically, the Muslims constitute about 1% of the United States total in various areas of the country. [Google says 1.3% to 1.5% – GC] They obviously have settled, because of immigration patterns and family patterns and the religion and everything else. People get freaked out about it because they think oh my god this group of people is here and they’re not adhering to anything in the community and they haven’t been absorbed into the community. That’s a problem. It’s a problem we face across the board in terms of immigration in our country.
👉But, in order for people to actually integrate into a culture, you got to be able to define the culture they’re integrating themselves into.👈
And if you look at our culture in the United States at this point, and you asked yourself, if I was coming here and I actually am being told you need to integrate into American culture, what would I see? What would I see? Would I see Graham Platner and think that I got to integrate with that? That’s kind of a problem. It’s not as simple as the plan, which everybody’s kind of attached to at this point of, oh my god. they’re going to come here and essentially take us all over. It is a source of tension in various communities in the United States around this question of, you know, becoming an American and identifying being an American as your essential identity. But in order for people to do that, we got to do a much better job of actually defining what a citizen and citizenship in the United States actually means. So that’s how to answer your question.…
118:16 Mark Steger: And let me just go back to the last question because I think what people are missing, I mean Islam has been radically altered by a lot of the foreign funding [and] British operations over the last 50 years. What Trump’s message to a lot of these Gulf Kingdoms, the Saudis, the entire Islamic world is in 2017, knock it off. We’re not going to be funding ISIS and al-Qaeda any longer as we did under Obama. We’re not going to be funding Hamas in this operation. You guys have got to change the orientation away from this caliphate.
But the bigger question is for too long people in the United States and in Europe have taken Christian civilization for granted. There’s not a clarity of what it is, what its principles are, how it manifests as a worldview, what we’re committed to developing, what our role in the universe is. We don’t have a people [who] might go to church. They might want to oppose the kind of cultural decadence and destruction of Hollywood and the elites, the liberal elites in this country. We have not fortified in a theological and deeper cultural way, a worldview that expresses the kind of strength and beauty and the kind of power of scientific discovery that Christian civilization really means. And I think people have to have a sense that that’s what’s needed. That’s what we’re doing with Promethean Action. That’s what we’ve recognized for a long time. And we’re developing it from the standpoint of how this kind of cultural outlook has got to be strengthened and made more conscious in the minds and hearts of the American people. And if we have that, as Barbara said, we’re going to recruit a lot more of the people that are here towards a real sense of what our civilization is based on. And we’re going to counter probably the most insidious effects which has been things like the rap culture. This rap music culture, this anti-American materialist kind of culture which has recruited a lot of the immigrant communities.
Parents come in hoping to maybe integrate and be part of it, but they’ve got their traditions and cultures. It’s their children. You’ll see this in France. the second & third generations have become less and less assimilated and integrated because the culture that’s been promoted has largely been anti the very principles of our civilization. So the question is are we making clear the real principles of what a western Christian civilization represent. And I think that’s what we’ve got. That’s what Trump’s looking to revive….
Speaking of Iran, and Obama’s ‘Agreement’ There is Obama’s Handler, Valerie Jarrett.
….According to FBI files obtained by Judicial Watch, Jarrett’s father, Dr. James E. Bowman, a pathologist and geneticist, “had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals.”
The files also show that “in 1950, Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage.”
Alfred Stern and his wife, Martha Dodd Stern, “were indicted in absentia on espionage charges on Sept. 9, 1957, The New York Times reported. The indictment charged them with conspiring to act as Soviet agents, receiving American military, commercial and industrial information and transmitting it to the Soviet Union. The indictment charged that they used their house in Ridgefield, Conn., for meetings with Soviet agents.”
Dr. James Bowman “was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students,” reported Judicial Watch. “After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work.” Valerie Jarret was born in Iran on Nov. 14, 1956.
The Association of Internes and Medical Students, according to the FBI files, is a group that “has long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line.” Bowman had “deep ties to Chicago,” reported Judicial Watch, “where he often collaborated with fellow Communists.”
Judicial Watch further stated that the Jarrett family Communist ties “also include a business partnership between Jarrett’s maternal grandpa, Robert Rochon Taylor (1899-1957) and [Alfred] Stern, the Soviet agent associated with her dad.”
Valerie Jarrett’s father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett (1917-2004), “was also another big-time Chicago Communist,” according to the FBI files. “For a period of time Vernon Jarrett appeared on the FBI’s Security Index and was considered a potential Communist saboteur who was to be arrested in the event of a conflict with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR),” Judicial Watch said.
According to the FBI documents, Vernon Jarrett’s job was to “write propaganda for a Communist Party front group in Chicago that would ‘disseminate the Communist Party line among … the middle class.”
“Faithful to her roots, [Valerie Jarrett] still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood,” said Judicial Watch. “Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshall Davis, a big Obama mentor and Communist Party member with an extensive FBI file.”
…The federal government placed Bowman [ValJar’s Dad — GC] under special surveillance because of his involvement with the European Recovery Program (ERP)—i.e., the Marshall Plan. Historian Paul Kengor explains: “This ERP/Marshall Plan association is very intriguing, and troubling. One of the most insidious forms of Communist Party agitation in the 1940s and 1950s was to frame the Marshall Plan as a form of vile American imperialism. It was the Kremlin line, pushed by Stalin and Molotov and mimicked by [the] Communist Party USA. One of the worst peddlers of this line was Frank Marshall Davis, who characterized the Marshall Plan in his columns as a ‘device’ to maintain ‘white imperialism.’ The plan, by Davis’s rendering, was a disgusting ‘oppression of non-white peoples everywhere,’ a slavery purchased by Secretary of State Marshall’s ‘billions of U.S. dollars … to bolster the tottering empires of England, France, Belgium, Holland and the other western exploiters of teeming millions of humans.’ … Was James Bowman [promoting the same notions about the Marshall Plan]? I cannot tell from … his FBI file, but I can say that Bowman’s work for, or position on, the Marshall Plan was the item of special concern to the FBI.”
Bowman was also a member of the Association of Internes and Medical Students, a group that, according to Bowman’s FBI file, engaged in un-American activities and “has long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line.” …
Bowman was also very active with the communist student group American Youth for Democracy as well as the International Labor Defense and the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born (ACPFB), three of Frank Marshall Davis’s favorite organizations. Paul Kengor writes the following about ACPFB:
“This group had been so extreme that the Democratic Congress’s huge ‘Investigation of Un-American Propaganda Activities in the United States’ (published in 1944) devoted a lengthy 15-page section just to ACPFB, atop innumerable added references elsewhere in the report. Key members included prominent African-American communists Langston Hughes and Paul Robeson, the gushing admirer of Joe Stalin, plus the usual assemblage of duped liberals/progressives, ranging from theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, to the great Orson Welles, to famed movie actor Edward G. Robinson.
“As the Congressional report noted, ACPFB ‘was founded by the Communist Party in order to exploit racial divisions in the United States for its own revolutionary purposes.’ Its modus operandi was to polarize Americans along racial lines in order to advance the Soviet agenda. Closely linked to International Labor Defense, the primary (concealed) intention of ACPFB was to protect foreign communists who came to America and agitated for the Soviet Comintern. The core objective was to prevent deportation of these foreign-born communists living in America. One such figure was German communist Gerhart Eisler, who became a major CPUSA cause, and whose name was omnipresent throughout Frank Marshall Davis’s Chicago Star….
1961-1983
When Valerie Jarrett was five, her family relocated to London for one year before settling in Chicago’s elite Hyde Park neighborhood in 1963.

The Republican War mongers and Israel are NOT happy about the possibility of peace in the Middle East. Is Israel going to get Greece to fight Turkey? Israel cannot fight directly because Turkey is in NATO. Also the Israeli Draft of people into the IDF is having repercussions. It is very disruptive of business and commerce. Dual citizens are leaving Israel to escape the Draft and the Ultra-Orthodox Jews are now praying for the fall of Israel.
WARNING: Ghost does not like the expansionist plans of Israel or the Zionists. However he has facts and background not normally available. Much of it complements the information from the Promethean Action video above. The video is 1 ½ hours.
Good and bad kings. Major and minor prophets. The Old Testament of the Holy Bible is filled with them. Who were they and how were they assigned to one or the other?
Why should we even care in today’s world?
Let’s look at a couple of summaries that are generally accepted. First, a short summary of their kings.
It seems the classifying is different for prophets. The classifications are simply based on book subject length and the range of the content it covers. Many of these prophets lived during periods of multiple kings. Israel is known for its good and bad kings as well as for their prophets. As we read we learn the nation flourished with the good kings who heeded the wisdom of the prophets of their day, who were the mouthpieces of God. Things went straight downhill when they did not. We also learn that even the good kings mucked it up at times. When that happened the prophets brought the Lord’s word to them in rebuke and straighten them out with varying levels of success.
How does that concept work with America? How has it gone historically with us? Since we exist within the providence of God, it would be a good confirmation to see a similar pattern.
It all led me to think about periods in American history where great progress was made as a culture and society. Great leaders seemed to incubate the good until We the People ran with it and excellence abounded. Then I focused on the bad times. We have had our share of those as well. We do not have to go back any further than two years ago to see a miserable, deadly period of great destruction along with national abandonment of faith, morality and good sense in our history. I can only imagine young Americans looking at our generations as miserable losers for a time in our nation’s history. Yet, so has it gone many times in our now over 400 years of existence as a developing nation in this land.
The common denominators in our history appear to be good and bad leaders along with whose counsel they keep. Fortunately, our founding fathers chose We the People to be the guardrails for our collective fates. Our period of We the People patriots have learned that we should never abandon our posts as watch guards over our representative republic.
American Leadership
Because there is so much historical information to review we all can come up with our own scorecards relating to the performance of Presidents. Yours may be substantially different from mine and that is OK. We all have different parameters and areas of importance. However, who were the prophets, secular or people of God; the important counselors of our leaders? Who were willing to tell the POTUS and top officials of the day the hard stuff; that they were wrong, misguided, or even right over target despite the chaos and turmoil? Who were the advisors in matters of intellect, wisdom and faith in regards to living and thriving as a nation under God’s providence?
Where do we find ourselves today?
These thoughts about our national leadership past, present and future naturally led to thoughts about reviewing a recent X post that was reposted on a Daily Thread in May.
The observations below are from a native South African with dual citizenship in Canada who came to America in 1992 via Canada as a young man with dreams. He enrolled at Penn and later at Stanford before entering the tech sector and focusing on business activities. In 2002 he became an American citizen.
I agree with Dustin below, it turns out he understands America better than the vast majority of Congressional members and bureaucrats who pledged oaths to serve America ever have.
Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance.
Zero competition.
No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed. America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.

The discussion above led to me considering the new global war that is well underway that #45-47 is focused on our nation winning and how it folds under the umbrella of God’s providence. This war is not being fought on a traditional battlefield with weapons of violence. However, it can prove to be even more lethal to mankind.
Providential Restoration & The New Frontier Of AI
For the most part we can probably agree on and list the major counselors who #45-47 trusts for input in various areas of expertise. Today, we will just focus on the one above. He is not a prophet, however, he does see a future of where mankind could go. As a result he exists as a counselor to PDT and captain of industry who appears to be playing for the white hats.
In various pursuits Elon Musk possesses much intelligence and wisdom about the world in which we live. We can only imagine how behind the 8 ball we would be without his purchase and clean out of Twitter. Next, just imagine if he had the same devotion to Jesus Christ as he does for his other endeavors; the influence on our younger generations would be off the charts. Well, maybe even that subject has been evolving in a positive direction.
I pray that his seeking truth in matters of creation, God, Jesus, faith, and all of the interconnections of same continues with Elon. Regardless, I remain thankful for the good he is doing for We the People and the world. I am happy he chose to be on our side of things and an important resource and counselor to #45-47.
Being under the Providence of God means adherence to doing things the Lord’s way and trusting Him to provide. Since The Word tells us that He desires none to be lost, it would seem likely that a nation who decided at its founding to specifically live under God’s Providence would do exactly as Elon Musk stated above. That same regard for His created beings that God commanded did go on and be reflected by our nation’s actions even during grave conflicts.
Like the path #45-47 has charted with the evil Islamist, fascist leadership in Iran currently when many of his advisors and We the People want him to finish the evil doers off with great malice and intent.
But how does all of that relate to AI and patriot Elon?
For some who have not yet grasped the importance, plan to limit their personal AI involvement, or want it all to just go away magically; do you now understand why America has to be the leader in AI? We cannot allow an evil world around us that is disinterested in following God’s commands to dictate the rules of engagement. They would set those rules and conditions for their total benefit and control at the expense of mankind’s good.. To permit it would be disobedient to God’s will and provision for us as a nation. It is our self determined role per our founding to be the ark for the righteous of God, yet, still provide a path of reconciliation and restoration for those who would oppose us. If the opposition refuses to walk the righteous path they will be doomed by their own choices just as the evil in Noah’s day I discussed in last week’s daily thread.
Chyna and Russia are deeply connected with the fascists ruling Iran as well as other like nations. Chyna needs Iranian oil to continue their own manufacturing based activities as well as AI development in their attempts to become a communist (Godless) led military superpower. That cannot be allowed to happen anymore than allowing Iran to have nukes and the ICBM’s to deploy them. It will not matter how high gas prices hit if Chyna and Iran get their ways. As the threats are contained, gas prices are already dropping overnight and with them food and product prices in a relatively short period of time – while wage rates steadily increase (think about it).
Elon has high security clearances and many years of working with national defense as well as industrial, space exploration, tech and scientific projects. We the People need a design gatekeeper for AI and its applications. Anybody want to guess who will be the most comprehensive and reliable developer of the technology and applications when and where it matters most?
Just a hint if you do not yet grasp it – use Grok.
Should the physical tunnel between Russia and Alaska transpire as assigned leadership in both countries has discussed, who do we know that owns a dominant “Boring Company” that could handle our side of it at a much lower cost than anticipated? Yup – that guy. Below is a locally discussed, recent proposal in my neck of the woods.
AI helps make those type projects and other endeavors feasible at a much lower cost. It is going to radically change how things are done in America as well as the world. AI simply shifts some people out of jobs that are becoming obsolete while forcing the job seekers to focus on jobs in industries and endeavors where people are still the best resource.
Mankind has seen this throughout history, like when blacksmiths were retrained into car mechanics. You don’t have to like it, but you do need to deal with its effects.
There will be far less paper shufflers and bean counters – the “analysts and “assistant” whatevers. You can somewhat track the scope and direction of the federal changes by following the U. S. DOGE Service website. The design and implementation of the federal government’s new operations platform is well underway and it will incorporate AI similar to nearly all of the larger businesses in the world. Expect states to complete similar initiatives that dovetail into federal reporting and operational requirements. Over time it will be important to all business employers.
In my opinion by the time #47 and the Elon established DOGE are done, the federal workforce at minimum will be cut by well over half from its former 2.7 million employees on the payroll beginning at the start of his term. This will be due to installing this modern operating system that utilizes AI instead of the current long since antiquated COBOL driven Model T version. Doing so eliminates make-work paper shuffling as well as fake analytical and clerical jobs that are given to political party operatives and their family members. That is well over a million people who will need to find work doing things that only humans can do. Perhaps they need to be taking a hard look at their futures and how they should prepare, which is the same way it works for the rest of us non-government employed type people. Those displaced by AI can have great opportunities and futures in roles where people cannot be replaced. Compensation and benefits will only increase for all folks once illegals, inefficiencies, criminality and so forth are squeezed out of our economy.
Which leads to DHS, ICE, VP Vance’s Fraud task force, DOJ and so on doing what needs to be done.
Conclusion
AI should be built the way the Lord would have it be built, to benefit His creation and people. For this point in history that includes using capitalistic principles that have developed in God’s America. Will we screw it up at times – probably. However, if we can keep our eyes on the prize of pleasing God by building guardrails, legitimate legal protections, and arrest/convict offenders it can be done right. We the People must insist and make sure it goes that way. If we disengage we can be assured the black hats will make mischief and win. We have seen up front and personal how that can go and destroy a nation that loses sight of its place under God’s providence.
Patriots should never again shirk from their duties and succumb to the psyops of those who would destroy our great nation. In fact, we should even incorporate trustworthy AI into making sure that never happens.
May God’s will be done.
Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

MUSIC!
Round Up! Or something like that!
THE STUFF
Consider that Democrat-donating ambulance chasers and progressive over-regulators may have actually driven America out of the frying pan, and into the fire.
So, beyond Triclopyr (non-selective broadleaf weed killer long used against poison ivy) discussed above, what are the other two chemicals that are in “new” Roundup®?
One of them is Diquat – largely duplicating the dessicant activity of glyphosate, which duplicated the dessicant activity of previously banned Paraquat – and if that one sounds familiar (like the Paraquat of Agent Orange), then you need to hear this. (Brace yourself for his annoying blue glasses.)
The other is Fluazifop-P butyl – used to kill grass weeds. Indeed, in duplicating the unique spectrum of activities of glyphosate, this one may be the least concerning chemical in the mix. (Brace yourself for the annoying AI presentation.)

God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
A Full Measure of Sin
In Genesis 15, God establishes His eternal covenant with Abram (later renamed Abraham). The Lord reaffirms His promise of offspring to Abram but enlarges it to include descendants as numerous as the stars (see Genesis 15:5; cf. Genesis 12:2). God also confirms His vow to give Abram the land of Canaan for his offspring (see Genesis 15:7–21). However, Abram’s descendants would not possess the land until God’s timing was fulfilled: “And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete” (Genesis 15:16, ESV).
God explains to Abram that, before taking possession of Canaan, the people of Israel would spend years as “strangers in a foreign land” (Egypt), where they would “be oppressed as slaves for 400 years” (Genesis 15:13, NLT). This God-ordained delay would occur because the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet complete.
The Amorites were one of the prominent people groups inhabiting ancient Canaan before the Israelite conquest. They are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as living in the land God promised to Abraham’s descendants (see Genesis 14:7; Deuteronomy 20:17; Joshua 10:5–10; Judges 1:34–36).
The Hebrew term translated as “iniquity” in Genesis 15:16 refers to wickedness, sin, or moral corruption. Iniquity can involve thoughts, feelings, speech, or actions that transgress or ignore God’s law or character. The Amorites had engaged in deeply sinful behaviors and practices such as idolatry, violence, and immorality that were offensive to God’s holy standards. Yet, God did not immediately punish them.
The Bible states that the iniquity of the Amorites was “not yet complete.” This indicates that, although the Amorites were evil, their sinfulness had not yet reached the threshold required for God’s intervention through judgment, destruction, and removal from the land. In the New International Version, Genesis 15:16 says, “For the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” God had ultimately determined to destroy the Amorites and give their land to Abraham’s descendants, but He told Abraham that Israel would need to wait; the moment for God to deal with the Amorites in judgment would not happen during Abraham’s time.
The Good News Translation makes the meaning of God’s message to Abraham abundantly clear: “It will be four generations before your descendants come back here, because I will not drive out the Amorites until they become so wicked that they must be punished” (Genesis 15:16, GNB). God recognized the Amorites’ wickedness but was waiting until their sinfulness reached its full measure before enacting divine punishment.
Genesis 15:16 demonstrates God’s patience and justice. He does not act impulsively but gives people time to repent or for their sins to reach a boundary point where judgment and punishment are necessary. God was giving the Amorites time to change their ways or for their actions to reach a degree of evil that justified His driving them out of the land. By waiting four generations, God poured out His grace, effectively leaving the Amorites without excuse.
The iniquity of the Amorites did eventually reach its full measure, with Leviticus 18 providing a detailed account of their detestable sexual practices and child sacrifices. God warned Israel, “Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these acts, for that is how the pagans made themselves unclean, those pagans who lived in the land before you and whom the Lord is driving out so that you can go in. Their actions made the land unclean, and so the Lord is punishing the land and making it reject the people who lived there. They did all these disgusting things . . . but you must not do them. All of you . . . must keep the Lord’s laws and commands, and then the land will not reject you, as it rejected the pagans who lived there before you” (Leviticus 18:24–28, GNB).
God allowed His treatment of the Amorites to be a lesson to Israel. God’s people would only take possession of the land according to God’s timing and purpose. First, God would exhibit His patience in dealing with sin. However, once the iniquity of the Amorites was complete—once their sin had reached the full measure deserving of God’s judgment—the Lord would drive them out of the land.
God’s judgment is measured and purposeful; He holds every nation and people morally accountable for their actions. The apostle Peter reminds us today that “the Lord isn’t slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for [our] sake. He doesn’t want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act” (2 Peter 3:9, GW).
In summary, the fact that “the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet complete” means that God was waiting for the Amorites’ sinfulness to justify judgment and expulsion from the land. The statement highlights God’s patience, the seriousness with which He regards moral corruption, and His commitment to justice in dealing with people and nations. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/sin-of-the-Amorites.html

Superficially a rerun. Worth reading. Greater detail than we had before.
The entire biolab monster needs Full Transparency. COVID must be fully exposed.
Let the chips fall where they may. Biolabs must be defunded, shutdown AND destroyed in their entirety.
DNI Releases New Info on Biolabs in Ukraine
Here’s the new information from DNI.
They admit that the US built and fund/support, over 40 labs in Ukraine, which house dangerous pathogens, which Russia claim are being used for bioweapon development.
They are kind of admitting Putin and Russian MIL were right, to a degree.
To me, I think this is the beginning stages of public disclosure about Covid being a US-funded experiment, and it very well may lead back to the labs in Ukraine. Some of these US-funded labs were studying bat coronaviruses in Ukraine, as early as 2014 via USIAD Project PREDICT.
We have to tell the world that COVID was man-made, and we have to tell the world who made it. I think that process is now underway.
It also tells me talks with Russia must be in a good place, because any deal with Russia, Putin is going to address the biolabs in Ukraine, as it has been one of Russia’s main talking points at the UN. I think this disclosure is related to a peace deal between Russia and the US/Ukraine.
When, not if, your EV starts to smoke – Run Away! Then what the fire department does
Gee… it looks like the approved method of dealing with a runaway battery fire in an EV is “let it burn”, then treat everything like a toxic site. Oh, and evacuate the shopping center down wind, have anyone working the fire on bottle air gear, and avoid spraying water on the fire until the battery has fully burned up.
Oh, and a special truck with special fire suppression cover hauls the burned out hulk to a special disposal lot where it sits for a while to see if it will start burning again before the Toxic Waste team disposes of it.
I wonder who pays for all that, and for the pavement repairs where the asphalt was melted and burned?….
“Don’t try this at home, kids!”… so maybe don’t charge your LIon car in the garage… or park & charge at charging stations next to older cars…
Don’t get me wrong: I actually would like to have an EV Econobox for around town errands and such. It would just be required to have a LiFePO4 battery or be a plug in hybrid with NiMH (or similar) battery chemistry without the self-immolate feature…
This video shows a full firedepartment response cycle, from driving into the parking lot where a vehicle at a charging station is starting to smoke, through full on engulfing fire, to smoking watered out mess, to hauling it away and putting ALL the gear of any responders who were exposed to smoke into HazMat bags for specialized cleaning… yeah, never inhale any smoke from an EV fire…
Iran support rally(s). Politicians need to see the Iranian support. IRGC is a stage 4 cancer, on the world. As painful as it is to take down IRGC, it is 100%the right thing to do. NOT delay doing so.
Hopefully Iranians are receiving ground support, weapons, to obliterate IRGC.
Why the June 20 Paris rally for Iranians is drawing unprecedented international support
On June 20, tens of thousands of Iranians and supporters of human rights from around the world are expected to gather in Paris for what is anticipated to be one of the largest international demonstrations focused on Iran in recent years. Organizers expect participation to exceed 100,000 people, making the event not only a major gathering of the Iranian diaspora but also a significant expression of global concern over the worsening human rights situation in Iran.
What distinguishes this year’s rally is not merely its expected size, but the extraordinary breadth of support it has attracted from respected figures across a wide range of fields. Nobel Prize laureates, senior Christian and Jewish religious leaders, Olympic athletes, world champions, and prominent sports personalities have all publicly expressed support for the rally’s objectives and voiced concern about the alarming increase in executions and repression in Iran.
The convergence of these diverse voices is remarkable. They represent different nationalities, cultures, professions, and political perspectives. Yet they are united by a shared conviction that the international community must not remain silent in the face of escalating human rights abuses and the continued use of executions as a tool of political repression.
Perhaps the most significant expression of support comes from a joint statement signed by seventy-five Nobel Laureates from around the world. The signatories include recipients of Nobel Prizes in Peace, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, and Economics. Their statement warns of systematic human rights violations, expresses alarm at reports of a new wave of executions targeting political prisoners and protesters, and calls for the immediate halt of politically motivated executions, the release of political prisoners, and unrestricted international monitoring of detention facilities.
The involvement of so many Nobel Laureates sends a powerful message. These are individuals whose achievements have earned them global respect and whose voices carry considerable moral authority. Their collective intervention demonstrates that concerns about Iran’s human rights situation have reached far beyond political circles and have become a matter of international humanitarian concern.
Support has also come from an impressive group of Christian and Jewish religious leaders, including former archbishops, bishops, archdeacons, deans, and rabbis from Europe and North America. Their statement highlights not only the wave of political executions but also growing restrictions on religious freedom and the rights of religious minorities in Iran.
For these religious leaders, the issue transcends politics. It concerns the sanctity of human life, freedom of conscience, and the right of every individual to practice their faith without fear of persecution. Their support reflects a belief shared across religious traditions: that human dignity is universal and that governments must be held accountable when they violate fundamental rights.
The world of sport has added its voice as well. Olympic medalists, world champions, national team captains, and internationally recognized athletes have issued a statement condemning the execution of political prisoners and drawing attention to Iranian athletes who have become victims of political persecution. Their appeal is especially powerful because it comes from individuals who understand the values of courage, perseverance, and fair play.
Athletes know that sport can inspire hope and unite people across borders. They also understand the tragedy of seeing young champions punished not for their athletic achievements but for their beliefs or participation in peaceful protests. By standing in solidarity with the Iranian people, these sports figures remind the world that the defense of human rights is not confined to governments or political institutions; it is a responsibility shared by all members of the international community.

HOLY SMOKES. President Trump has just ordered a US military strike to KILL terrorist Tren De Aragua leader Niño Guerrero — in conjunction WITH the Venezuelan government
I VOTED FOR THIS
“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.”
“Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones.”
“Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive.”
“This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. 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.

The COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (in reality, dangerous and deadly gene-altering therapy injections) — which have now been proven to cause, to aggravate, or to re-establish a myriad of different types of medical conditions (physical and/or psychological conditions; including those which were under control or were in remission before the patient took any of these “vaccines”) — which have now been proven to cause or to aggravate these conditions as long as three and a half years post-injection — which render the “vaccinated” person to be a “ticking time bomb” of negative cardiac and lung issues — which interfere with and/or damage the p53 protein of the human body, the protein that detects cancer cells — which severely damage or even destroy the innate immune system of the human body, rendering it catastrophically vulnerable to all sorts of infections (including to COVID-19 infection) — which destroy up to 60% of the lifetime supply of eggs in the “vaccinated” female’s body — which induce myocarditis / pericarditis in children (and in adults) — are still being administered to millions of persons all over the world. These “vaccines” are still being pushed by the CDC and the FDA in the United States. These “vaccines” are still on the CDC’s Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule. These “vaccines” are still on the CDC’s Adult Immunization Schedule. Those who are the main figures in the lab-creation of the COVID-19 bioweapon virus itself, and of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (either in research, or in funding, or in suppression of the truth about these bioweapons) — Dr. Anthony Fauci; Dr. Francis Collins; Dr. Deborah Birx; Dr. Ralph Baric; Dr. Peter Daszak; Dr. Robert Redfield; Dr. Stephen Hahn; among others — have not been brought to justice.

“Noel des Enfants qui N’ont Plus de Maisons” (“Christmas of the Children who No Longer Have a Home”) is an art song written in December 1915 (during World War I) by the French composer, Claude Debussy. The French lyrics are below, followed by the English translation:
Yours Truly is deeply appreciative of, and thanks, https://www.melodietreasury.com/ for the above image of the original French lyrics and of the English translation of this song.
In order to put into context how this song applies to today’s offering, please listen to baritone John Brancy perform it with pianist Peter Dugan. Yours Truly is deeply appreciative of the musical talents of the performers, and thanks https://www.youtube.com/ for the opportunity to share their efforts. The song is under three minutes long:
Years ago, Yours Truly had the honor to accompany her voice teacher, baritone Edmund Najera, when he performed this song as part of a voice recital. Even decades later, when I hear this song, it brings chills down the spine. The raw emotions of anger, sorrow, loss, and fear in the original lyrics leap out of the vocal line and of the piano accompaniment music.

What the world has suffered since late 2019 — and what still continues today — is not a war of bombs and of bullets: It is a war waged with fear and gaslighting; with a lab-created “virus” cobbled together from pieces of various animal coronaviruses, and named SARS-CoV-2; with needles and syringes. It is waged in healthcare clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. It is the war of COVID-19: the bioweapon virus itself, and the bioweapon “vaccines.” It is a war waged using unquestioning acceptance of government statements that the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” are “safe and effective” — when it has been conclusively proven that they are not. It is a war waged using unquestioning compliance with “mandates” or “requirements” or “recommendations” by employers, by school systems, by healthcare providers, that people who wish to access these entities be COVID-19 “vaccinated.” It is waged in the laboratories of Pfizer-BioNTech, of Moderna, of Novovax, and of other entities, which lab-create and manufacture these “vaccines.” It is a war waged through the marginalizing, the silencing, the loss of jobs, the loss of Licenses to Practice Medicine, and the “de-platforming” of those who dare to question the official narratives; of those who dare to present solid evidence that these “vaccines” are dangerous and deadly to those who take them; of those who dare to treat COVID-19 infected persons — or to offer alternative (and safe) prophylactic COVID-19 protocols — using “off-label” drugs, and/or alternative therapeutic vitamins and supplements. It is waged through the enormous financial grants by government funders (NIH, NIAID), and by private funders (Gates Foundation, CEPI, GAVI) to those who lab-create these “vaccines.” A stunning, recent example of the “silencing” of those who dare to present evidence that the “vaccines” are NOT “safe and effective” is written about here: https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/one-of-the-greatest-manipulations (the death by suicide of COVID-19 “vaccine” dangers statistician, Christine Cotton.) Meanwhile, the induced, aggravated, or re-established illnesses, injuries, and disabilities in “vaccinated” people, continues. The deaths that result from these “vaccines” being injected into human beings continues.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yours Truly presents a “modern-day” version that she wrote of the lyrics for “Noel des Enfants.” The English language version and the French language version are below:
As in the original lyrics by M. Debussy, the story is told through the experiences of children. However, in Yours Truly’s opinion, the lyrics can also be a story as told by adults — illness; death; loss of loved ones; a sense of helplessness. A sense — a realization — that, despite the assurances from government (World War I was supposed to be “the war to end all wars”; the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” were supposed to “stop the spread” and be “safe and effective”) — these “assurances” were lies: and that people are paying the price for believing the lies.
(Notes: One: Apologies for the layout — one is not a professional editor; and, Two: while the original Claude Debussy lyrics and piano accompaniment are considered to be “In the public domain” in the United States (per Wikipedia search regarding Public Domain items in the United States), Yours Truly personally would not attempt to use the French translation of the new lyrics that I wrote to replace, or substitute for, the original lyrics of the song.)

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

This lady always has great thoughts, and this video is no exception! Here, she talks about the reality of AI, and who predicted it correctly!
Have a great weekend! I am making real progress against my remaining tasks, and looking forward to rejoining the crowd here on a more regular basis very soon.
