Chiefio delivers…

But first. What the hell is Polymath Truth?

Brave.

The polymath truth is the concept that genius and exceptional achievement are not innate traits reserved for a select few, but are instead driven by intense curiosity and the ability to connect disparate ideas. Rather than being defined by deep expertise in a single narrow field, a polymath is characterized by their refusal to silo knowledge, allowing them to recognize patterns across boundaries and synthesize insights from multiple domains.

Key aspects of this perspective include:

  • Curiosity over Credentialism: True polymathy is about what you chase and how you see connections, rather than simply accumulating facts or awards.
  • Pattern Recognition: The core superpower of a polymath is seeing how different fields echo each other, modeling systems, and translating complexity into clarity.
  • Creative Synthesis: Polymaths create by letting inputs from diverse areas collide, resulting in novel solutions and insights that specialists might miss.
  • Action-Oriented: It is not just about knowing many things, but about applying that broad knowledge to solve specific problems and generate innovation.

Back to Chiefio.

Globalist GroupThink & “Consensus” vs Polymath Truth

Globalism requires a “shared vision” or a kind of Group-Think. Polymaths do not.

I don’t find this presenter particularly compelling (she plays with her hair a lot, and hesitates at the limits of her training), but does cite published literature on the topic and seems to have understanding of it). Her basic exposition is that Polymaths (people with skill and understanding in multiple domains of knowledge) are resistant to Group-Think while many (most?) others are not.

I think I have seen that in real life (rather too often…)

It also explains some of my social interactions as I am a polymath, don’t do group-think, and have often got “the hairy eyeball” from a group of agreed people when I point to something that shows them wrong. (Covid, The Jab, Global “Warming” and a long list at work over the decades). What I see as “Keeping a Tidy Mind” where new assertions must integrate with the proven body of knowledge spanning multiple domains – such as Geologic History which “Global Warming” ignores… they see as an attack on The Consensus.

8:51

Where this leads me to ponder

There are a few ponderings that come from this.

1) To what extent is Globalism a case of Group-Think?

2) Have the sociopaths at the very top learned to harness Group-Think to promote Globalism?

3) Is that why the “Leaders In Charge” seem more like the “Idiots In Charge” since they were selected by the sociopaths for their submission to the Group-Think Narrative being pushed from the top? (Think Klaus Schwab to the WEF hoard of followers / “leaders” to be…)

4) Is this why so many of the Best & Brightest who call out Bull Shit in The Narrative get attacked and smeared by said apparatus? The Sociopaths at the top pushing to “name & shame” (or Dox & Destroy…) them via using their “Idiots in Charge” (and their “useful idiot follower hoards – Antiffa, BLM, etc.) for the attacks. Those in a Group-Think Consensus Group absolutely hate anyone in the out-group showing they are wrong. They can’t accept being shown stupidly wrong.

5) Is this also why the push for Boss Babes? Women are MUCH more interested in “consensus” and “agreement”, so would naturally push for expulsion of the Polymaths and adoption of the Group-Think Narrative. Plus, a Female Sociopath is far more sinister (vicious?) in their attacks and quite indirect in their revenge. So put Ursala at the top as the sociopath manipulator, then Kaja Kallas falls in line easily without thinking.

I asked Brave Browser “Women leaders of the EU” and the A.I. answered:


Four women currently hold the five most powerful positions in the European Union,
leading a significant shift toward gender parity in the bloc’s top institutions.

The current female leaders are:

Ursula von der Leyen: President of the European Commission (since 2019, re-elected 2024).

Roberta Metsola: President of the European Parliament (second term secured in 2024).

Christine Lagarde: President of the European Central Bank (since 2019).

Kaja Kallas: High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (appointed 2024, succeeding Josep Borrell).

The only male in this top tier is Antonio Costa, the President of the European Council. Von der Leyen has been named the world’s most powerful woman by Forbes four consecutive years (2022–2025) and has actively pushed for gender parity in her Commission team, appointing women to six of the eight top vice-presidency roles in her second term.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

I note in passing that “gender parity” in Ursela’s POV means ONE man in five top rolls and TWO men out of 8 at the next tier. So 5:1 and 3:1 women over men. Yeah, that’s “parity” all right… /snark;

Is the whole “meritocracy bad” and DIE Diversity Inclusion Equity based on race and gender due to this? The desire to put more “Group-Think” prone folks in authority and exclude the Polymath who disrupts the Group-Think and derails the Narrative Railroad?

I find it an interesting frame for looking at these questions, even if I can’t provide any definitive answers.

BUT it does seem to fit all the known facts. And, putting on my Sociopath Emulator Hat: it sure looks to me like, were I a socipath at the top, I’d NOT want a widely knowledgeable polymath who would fight me on The Narrative (of deception?) I was pushing, and I would want a lot of emos under me who would just follow my lead and conform to group pressure…

https://study.com/learn/lesson/emo-subculture-traits.html

What is an emo person like?
An emo person tends to be quiet, introspective or shy, and can be creative. They spend time alone or with people who share their interests listening to music or making emo-influenced art. They have deep emotions but aren’t always only angry or sad.

One also wonders if the Gay Guy stereotype comes into play here too. More emotional, less likely to be a polymath. More into music, art, clothes and other “girly stuff”… just a speculation / question. It would be amusing to look into group-think vs polymath tendency by social group with gender & “orientation” as markers.

In Conclusion

So there you have it. Insight of the day, but consisting more of questions than answers.

But it sure points toward more conformance to “all the known facts” than “doesn’t fit”…

Globalism requires a “shared vision” or a kind of Group-Think. Polymaths do not.

1) To what extent is Globalism a case of Group-Think?

IMO, “group-think” in some areas has been produced by insistence on political correctness, including attempted changes to our language, the use of “preferred pronouns,” coerced acceptance of certain ideas (e.g., that white people oppressed black people as slave owners, and that they continue to oppress), and more.

I also see it in the conspiracy realm, where if you don’t subscribe to some impossible and/or outlandish idea, you are an outlier. I watched part of the video. She mentions people’s having a desire for harmony and collective agreement. Go along with the herd and you are fine; shine the light on illogic and unreality, or on major problems with an idea, and your ideas are challenged, not with facts or evidence, but with group consensus.

IMO there is WAY too little pushback on group-think.

I’m going to watch the rest of the video, but she uses bird hands. 😱

Aubergine

“Group think” is perverted survival instinct in humans.

For millennia, the only way to survive life was to cluster together with other people, against other groups of people.

Your “tribe” was how you could fend off attacks by other humans, weather, nature, etc. An effective deterrent for infractions was banishment from the tribe, because it meant you were dead.

In most of the world today, however, that kind of “group think” is unnecessary and actually harmful, because apex predators have learned how to use it to their advantage. We haven’t yet evolved into understanding that being a “polymath” is a safer path for a person.

pgroup

Interestingly, Cain asked God to give him a mark so that he would not be harmed after he was ejected. Indirectly, Cain did not want to be the beneficiary of ‘eye for an eye’ law/justice.

From the earliest times, God was known and feared by all.

Valerie Curren

You reminded me of a passage I shared on my first authored Q-Tree post:

So I was hoping to inspire discussion around a tree house style campfire so I’ll share a little more from Horus Rising where I felt that my own spirit was well represented, & perhaps many of you here as well, as adapted from page 68 of Horus Rising…

“…only a weapon which questions its use could be of any value in that role…you need to have concerns…wit, and most certainly you need to have doubts. Do you know what a naysmith is?…In early Terran history…naysmiths were employed by the ruling classes. Their job was to disagree. To question everything. To consider any argument or policy and find fault with it, or articulate the counter position. They were highly valued.”

My experience with being, by nature, a “naysmith”, in the real world is that it is rarely valued. I once took a spiritual giftings inventory test & it claimed that my strongest “gift” was that of prophecy, or rather truth telling. By contrast, my husband’s greatest gift was servanthood, the very area where I scored the lowest. Believe me, few people, perhaps in particular in “church”, embrace a truth-teller, especially if the “prophet” is female!

I hear Rush describe himself as never going along with the crowd and being a contrary thinker. How ever he’s articulated this character of his, I resonate with virtually every word he says. This just seems to be how I’m wired or designed or created. I’m often highly analytical but in a way that by nature is looking for the flaws in something, not to shoot it down, but rather to help refine it, to get it Right…

Kind of funny that the word used in Horus Rising is NaySmith. Being a genealogist, I’m aware of surname patterns, including those based on historical occupations. The Smith line of names hearkens back to those blacksmithing kind of trades. Part of Smithing would be heating & pounding metal to shape & purify it. That is perhaps what a NaySmith does, not with metal but with words & ideas…

comment image

We once watched a documentary on the nearly lost art of ancient Sword Making, to get the kind of sword featured in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Both my husband & I were struck by the spiritual analogies of the swordsmith to the iron sharpens iron aspect of Christian living. God is also described as a refiner’s fire in scripture…there are so many good truths around us when we open our eyes, & ears, & hearts to what He might be whispering to our souls in our own personal language of the heart…

For some reason this post didn’t make the cut in converting old material into TheQTree.com but I’ll keep rememebering it because it meant a lot to me 🙂

In the comments on that post my dad picked up on the smithing topic & added his two cents within my mom’s comment in reply–I quoted them in the email I shared behind the spoiler in yesterday’s family saga update, for it ministers to me still, especially now that they are both gone…

Well, I did listen to him for years, even before the Q-Tree discovery. Once I started hanging out here I knew most of the news items he discussed before his show but still enjoyed his take. Sadly, I think I cried harder when he died than when either of my parents’ died. But the lingering grief for Mom & Dad far outpaces the initial sorrow over Rush’s loss  💔

“…Go along with the herd and you are fine; shine the light on illogic and unreality, or on major problems with an idea, and your ideas are challenged, not with facts or evidence, but with group consensus….”

It is more that your ideas being challenged. After all that is the way science is supposed to work. It is the outlier being fired, grant money drying up and you being sued into living on the streets.

We watched it happen real time during the Climate Wars.

Alison

Indeed! And if the loudest ‘group’ voices are either the so-called leaders or a hidden cabal directing the shouted narrative, it is even harder to speak against the tide or be the lone voice in the wilderness. The shunning consequences the past decade have been severe … families broken apart, jobs lost, conservatives spied on or arbitrarily unbanked, etc.

As with many other things we have lost/abandoned the art of quality formal & informal debate. This used to be an active and well-respected class & competitive activity in our small town high schools. The loss of that studied ability along with reading comprehension, critical thinking and cursive writing have negatively altered our brains & behavior as much as the pernicious street & pharma drugs.

Gail Combs

And ALL done with malice aforethought.

Sigh…romantically…

Aubergine

Lol. I didn’t go this time.

I was too busy replacing the laundry room floor and buying a new washing machine, after the horrible realization that a tiny leak, most likely ongoing for years, had literally rotted the floor underneath the old washer. Which wasn’t that old, really, and might have been dripping since the day we put it in.

It was quite the project. It sucked, actually.

Oh, yeah! And I’ll be watching that danged thing like a hawk!

It would be easier if you mounted the washer on blocks.

When we lived in Gaylord Hubby thought he had a one day project to tear off some shingles over our gently sloped kitchen roof & deal with some ice flow damage. Well when he got into it he had to rebuild most of that roof, even dealing with some rafters. I think we had blue tarps on the roof for 2-3 weeks rather than the 1-2 days he’d anticipated the job might have taken–live & learn!

Gail Combs

We have a saying about projects:
At least twice as long and 4X the cost.

Valerie Curren

Yup. It became rather a running joke between us. AND there is no possible calculation for how many Extra trips to the hardware store might be involved too!

Aubergine

Yeah, been there, done that. I live in an old house. She’s about 130 years old now.

Valerie Curren

I Love the character of old houses, always wanted a Victorian too 🙂 Hope it’s not actually a money pit for you. They built them Way Better back in the day! Ours is a mid 1940s brick bungalo w/ dormer addition making 5 bedrooms (mostly 10′ x 10′), hardwood floors & plaster walls, at least on the main floor  ❤ 

Aubergine

I have plaster and lathe walls, too. And yes, I have spent quite a bit of money on it, but the house is worth probably 5-6 times what I paid for it.

pgroup

Another way of saying that price is that the dollar has had 5-6 times its original buying power sucked out of it via inflation. If a dollar bill physically shrank in proportion to inflation, people would have a much better appreciation of market forces and who is responsible.

Aubergine

Kind of, but not exactly. Hollywood found us and everything skyrocketed. We’re sort of like Aspen, Colorado, or Park City, Utah. EVERYBODY wants to live here. I wish Yellowstone had never been made. When Costner hung out around here, I was afraid I would run into him, because I would have had to tell him what I thought of what his stupid show had done to my town. They were literally filming in stores in my downtown.

We have an old house on the property. From what we can tell, it was built from a kit, maybe Sears, just after the civil war. Unfortunately it is in need of more TLC.

Hubby just said the most obvious thing about it is it came in on the R/R. I researched the ownership of the land back to the civil war. I do know one of our neighbors lived in it as a boy.

Valerie Curren

That’s awesome! I checked out a vintage Sears catalog reprint from the library & was amazed by what you could order & get sent directly to you back in the day: guns, meds, poisons, tools, attire of almost any imaginig, & so much more. Back when we were largely free(er)…

Thanks, we think this house was from the late 1800s.

It is made of hard pine.

Very cool. If you ever learn more about it I hope you share some of it here!

I just ran across a printout of all the deed transfers involving the Cottage property & the 4 lots associated with it. If I can keep it I can’t wait to look up all these deeds in the county office & try to flesh out all the history there, going back to 1911 I believe. Fun!

I looked up all the deed transfers going back to the civil war for my property. I was really fun.

Unfortunately now you can no longer walk into the room full of deed books and explore to your hearts content. Instead you have to go to a clerk and ask her a specific question.

CBS Tried to Trash Trump Again, Now They’re Facing Another Multimillion Suit, This Time from a 15-Year-Old They Trashed

In what appears to have been an attempt made over the summer to impugn President Donald Trump, CBS News published bad information that’s now poised to potentially cost it $20 million in damages.

While covering the vandalism occurring at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool over the summer, CBS News identified a detained 15-year-old Maryland teenager known as simply “JV” as one of the culprits.

But according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, “JV” was not, in fact, responsible for any vandalism.

“He was not arrested for vandalizing it,” the lawsuit states, as reported by Fox News. “He was not accused by law enforcement of vandalizing it.”

According to The Desk, the media-focused news site that first reported the lawsuit story, “JV” was riding an electric dirt bike near the pool on June 20 when he was briefly detained and handcuffed but soon after released without charges.

Despite “JV” being released without charges, CBS News ran a report the following day showing “JV” alongside the actual vandals, according to the lawsuit.

“CBS News broadcast and published a story to a national audience that placed JV’s image alongside the assertion that five people had been arrested for vandalizing and ‘sabotaging’ the Reflecting Pool, thereby falsely portraying JV as one of the perpetrators of a highly publicized federal crime,” the suit states,

…A number of critics contend that CBS News only went after “JV” in an attempt to portray President Trump as an authoritarian who arrests children.

…The lawsuit filed Wednesday notes that while the original CBS News broadcast showed “JV” from behind, other versions of its report that made it onto the network’s website and its social media accounts showed his full face.

“The visual and verbal presentation published by Defendants unmistakably conveyed the false message that JV was among the persons arrested for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool…

The suit also alleges that CBS News went after “JV” either knowing that its reporting was false or “with reckless disregard” for the truth…

Worst part is that the $275K won’t be paid by the school nor the local school district residents nor the admin staff.

It will be paid from a state pool run by govt insurance underwriters. The pool is funded by the state treasury as a routine budget item.

Multiple sources have confirmed to me that federal agents went dumpster diving to get DNA from Minnesota Congresswoman @IlhanMN and her family before the raid on her D.C. home earlier this week.  Our reporting suggests investigations go far beyond simple immigration fraud.

NewsNation sources say the likely coming indictments will be stunning in nature and far beyond anything the public has understood the case to be about.

OK, another fun useless exercise with Linux. You must have done the first one for this one to work right.

The two programs we are going to use that might not be installed are fortune and cowsay. You may remember that typing in an uninstalled program will tell you how to install it. In this case, fortune suggests “fortunes” and “bsdmainutils”, so we’ll go “sudo apt install fortune-mod fortunes bsdmainutils”. You can install a bunch of packages at once by just listing them after “install” (same for “remove” when you get tired of them).

You can play with these separately. Cowsay requires something to say, so you can use “cowsay ‘oh, no!'” to get a cow. There is a useful concept buried in here — if you go cowsay “oh, no” or cowsay ‘oh, no’, you should get the same output. The single and double quotes are treated as delimiters and merely indicate active text, then they disappear when the text is to be processed.

Linux, like UNIX before it, is very flexible about delimiters — many characters can be used, and the system mainly responds appropriately without you thinking too hard. In the less likely case when you want to use a delimiter character as a normal character, you can escape its delimiter use by saying something like \” for a non-delimiter double quote.

This can sometimes lead to abominations such as “\’port\’ to \’starboard\'” — we’re not ready for them, except to know that they exist.

Both cowsay and fortune are pretty limited, but we can still take them places.

Let’s start with the “right way” and examine the wrong way. Type in “fortune | cowsay” without the quote marks. You should get a cow spouting wisdom. If you type “fortune | cowsay -dead”, you should get something different. If you type “fortune | cowsay -f stegosaurus”, you will get something else again (these are covered in “man cowsay”).

The “|” character is known as a “pipe” in Linux, and connects the output of one program to the input of another. If you type “fortune > cowsay”, then you will end up with a file named “cowsay” with a fortune in it. If you just wanted to collect fortunes, you could do one “fortune > fortune_collection” and then “fortune >> fortune_collection” to add more fortunes to the end.

If you wanted to put a graphic cow saying something into a file, you could use “fortune | cowsay -stoned > how_now_stoned_cow”. I should also note that “cowthink” exists for animals that don’t say things out loud.

cthulhu

You shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to uninstall cowsay and fortune, as I intend to use them later. Then, again, it doesn’t take too much to reinstall them.

cthulhu

I should note that I use things like “ps -e | grep brave | less” all the time. Care to guess why and what it does?

Not only will Democrats 100% pay to fly deported illegal immigrants back into America, they also will 100% provide them with free legal representation to sue the government so they can pay them tens of millions of dollars in damages for the offense of having been deported from a country they were not legally allowed to be in.

Caleb Hammer completely unloads on a Louisiana couple after learning their $100,000 household is collecting $500 a month in FOOD STAMPS.

That’s $6,000/year in TAX-FREE income.

HAMMER: “That PISSES me off.”

That $6,000 cushion is exactly what lets them blow $3,600 a year eating out.

Taxpayers cover the groceries so they can hit the restaurants.

Hammer was so disgusted he stopped talking to them and started ranting under his breath, while the couple sat frozen in stunned silence.

Maybe everyone gaming the system should have to sit across from a taxpayer and explain themselves.

Something tells me the look on Hammer’s face will haunt them the next time they eat out.

In a weird way this Might be how Josiah’s in-laws operate as far as SSI goes. His wife is still refusing to speak to him, pissed that we went went to Social Security to straighten out his SSI case. His income wasn’t reported since March 2022, though we, at least, brought that up to date now. I have suspicions that much/most of the income in that household isn’t reported anywhere as they May mostly take under-the-table employment. His MIL is a former illegal Mexican, now naturalized American, I believe, who used to leave her young kids in Mexico w/ her mother, swim the Rio Grande, work in the States for a while, sending the money home, & then rinse & repeat who knows how many times. She married J’ls significantly disabled father pregnant w/ his child, now J’s wife, & they’ve been together just shy of 40 years. She came to Christ later in life so may still have a number of “skewed” views from her BC &/or illegal days, fwiw…

CONSTITUTION X
@ConstitustionX
BOMBSHELL: THE EMAIL THEY HID FROM AMERICA
A previously CLASSIFIED email from top U.S. diplomat George Kent to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch has just been released — and it changes EVERYTHING about the 2019 impeachment.
Kent warned that Joe Biden needed to be quietly told that his son Hunter’s board seat at Burisma was ACTIVELY UNDERMINING America’s anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Ukrainians were hearing one message from the U.S. government… and watching the Biden family do the exact opposite with a known corrupt company.
This document directly contradicts what the impeachment team told the American people.
They said Hunter’s role had zero impact on U.S. policy.
The internal records say otherwise.
THIS IS TREASON AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
The people who hid this, the officials who testified under oath, and everyone who pushed the narrative while knowing the truth — they sold out America’s interests for political protection.
No more excuses. No more “no impact.” The paper trail is now public.
FULL DETAILS: John Solomon is breaking it down. Share this before they try to bury it again.

Hoo Boy! I went to see if I could find out more using search terms:

John Solomon RealAmericaVoice Hunter Biden Ukraine Kent

BRAVE AI

John Solomon is the host of Real America’s Voice, a platform he uses to promote narratives regarding Hunter Biden and Ukraine that have been widely criticized as disinformation. 

 His reporting heavily featured George Kent, a former U.S. Embassy official in Kyiv, who testified that the Obama administration attempted to partner with Burisma (Hunter Biden’s former employer) but blocked the project due to corruption concerns. 

Solomon’s earlier columns for The Hill and Fox News alleged that Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire its prosecutor to protect his son, claims that The Hill later found omitted key details, including that Solomon’s sources were Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani. 

 Following an internal review that found his articles omitted important context and relied on discredited sources, The Hill corrected his work and Fox News severed ties with him in 2020. 

Recently, Solomon has continued to publish declassified documents and memos via Just the News and Real America’s Voice, arguing they reveal conflicts of interest and policy impacts related to Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma. In October 2026, he led a White House briefing on these declassified records, which describe internal State Department concerns about the appearance of a conflict of interest, although George Kent has testified he did not witness U.S. officials shielding Burisma from scrutiny. 

Circling the wagons much?

Valerie Curren

“Solomon’s earlier columns for The Hill and Fox News alleged that Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire its prosecutor to protect his son, claims that The Hill later found omitted key details, including that Solomon’s sources were Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani. Solomon’s earlier columns for The Hill and Fox News alleged that Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire its prosecutor to protect his son, claims that The Hill later found omitted key details, including that Solomon’s sources were Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani.”

Anecdotal reports and preliminary studies suggest that ivermectin and fenbendazole, both antiparasitic drugs, may have potential anticancer effects when used alongside other treatments. 

Many people immediately dismiss the potential of ivermectin and fenbendazole when they learn it is “horse or dog medicine”. That initial reaction is overcome when genuine human success stories are told including the lack of serious side effects.

“Extraordinary people that have given so much”? Is this a joke? The Somali pirates in Minneapolis have looted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, including defrauding and stealing from safety-net programs for the most vulnerable among us. They are third-world scumbags.

“Businesses” were mentioned. People who come here need to earn a living (hopefully), and some will start businesses. IMO that is not “extraordinary.” Yes, it takes work and diligence to run a business, but it is more ordinary than extraordinary.

They can’t name any truly extraordinary accomplishments of Somalis except the ability to defraud the country that took them in.

From what I can tell, the businesses are selling stuff to each other.

Fraud Probe
“SBA is pausing annual funding to Minnesota while we investigate $430 million in suspected PPP fraud across the state,” Loeffler wrote today on X over a story from Breitbart:

This Admin will not continue to hand out blank checks to fraudsters — and we will not rest until we clean up the criminal networks that have been stealing from American taxpayers.

The agency chief told Johnson that SBA fraud is included in the massive housing, Medicaid, and other schemes Somalis have used to rob taxpayers.
“SBA is cutting off and clawing back ALL SBA grants to Minnesota, effective immediately,” she told Johnson, blaming Walz for refusing “to enforce laws governing small businesses.”

noting: AI (broadly speaking) has not returned a visible return on investment. It is in fact an industry that right now has invested billion upon billions in infrastructure costs. The problem is only now being recognized by investors, both retail and private. As I type this, almost every single publicly traded company involved with AI is taking a serious haircut and “wall street” is reading the tea leaves promptly. These companies have oversold promises and spent far too much (in a very similar way that Ford, GMC, stellantic, and many other auto manufacturers poisoned their own bottom line with the wild exuberant spending on EV vehicles, and those decisions are now coming home to roost. No one is buying these EV cars. No where near the levels in prior years. And not just because they are too expensive either. It the economy stupid. No one has the money to buy these very expensive autos. (it’s not just the sticker price, but the insurance, the maintenance costs and the impractical reality that many parts of the world where cold weather is year long reality, prevents wide adoption). Right now, AI is an idea that does not have a direct retail market customer. There are no people waiting in line and putting down a deposit to get the new model. The kind of AI that you can purchase through subscription (Gemini, anthropic, Xsi, metaAI, and others) are basically just smarter more efficient search engines. Even the computer industry is having a difficult time marketing a higher cost for AI-capable computers. It would be like telling all the smart phone owners, here is a new feature, and it’s going to make things easier for you, so the cost is going up. The problem is, there is no measurable difference between the experience and what smart phone users have with non-ai devices compared to next gen. That’s the state of market right now. it’s the same kind of problem with EV. Cool shiny thing, but does it really make a difference? does the increased costs justify the return on investment. people are not stupid. THE USG IS STUPID for financing and supporting these new “technologies” with a proven poor record of understanding that it takes more than just some fancy words to actually benefit a market and consumer experience. Yes, AI will replace many jobs. But then we go back to the problem this creates…a vicious one. Replacing the human labor market means fewer jobs, and less human based labor and money to grow an economy.
Get prepared. Soon the USG will be describing GDP and economic figures to include AI/robotic activity. The AI factor of how markets will be evaluated. None of this looks pleasant.

If I had to guess, major institutional investment firms are going to be at least hedging their real money investments in AI. The writing is on the wall. There is no market for it. Only the USG seems to have an interests and that is becoming increasingly a dubious agenda, also not raising efficiency or improving government processes. About the only real world benefactor right now seems to be military use cases. But that is hardly a reason to justify the enormous amounts of capitol used to build out AI infrastructure.
watch the nasdaq in the next several weeks and months. A train wreck is going to happen….and it’s not going to be pleasant.

I understand this point. But Amazon sells actual physical products that people NEED and WANT. And more to the point, Amazon has a pricing model that makes buying them online and a delivery system that makes the USPS system look like it should be scrapped (there is actual talk of doing that btw..that Amazon might get a “deal” with the USG to compete against the US postal system, which is somewhat of a quasi governmental agency).

that’s a big difference. AI has not produced a thing of any value that can be represented as a value or a profit margin..just the opposite. It is a massive infrastructure expenditure for a market that hasn’t even observed any customers.

Using your comparison, Amazon was making very quick profits in a short period of time, selling books. (I’m old, I remember). fun fact: the very first book sold by Amazon was The very first book ever ordered by a customer was Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought by Douglas Hofstadter. This book was a collection of prior scientific papers, that showed why the rules based machine learning of the 80’s and 90’s was inadequate and that artificial intelligence and self learning (the ability to imulate cognition, problem solving) was the future! Ironical, yes?

Amazon did not spend billions to achieve it that initial success. It was more or less a far cheaper way to buy books than from the retail big book stores, which was becoming very expensive. (sort of what happened when netflix entered the game and blockbuster went the way of the dinosaur).

Amazon was by any measure a risk investment yes, but it attracted new business and new products and SLOWLY rationally, Amazon expanded its infrastructure and contracts as those investments made a return.

what we have now is unparalleled in any prior business venture. The expenditure of vast sums of money, resources, talent AND ENERGY for a new technology that has not turned a dollar. That’s not reasonable.

AI may become the norm, but this is not how business is developed smartly. It’s kind of ironic when you think about it. AI implies some form of reasoning that is efficient and capable of problem solving. Yet human beings are trying to get the business of it, at scales of investment that may end up becoming a reason why it will take much longer to actually be what they want it to be. There are dozens of businesses that have failed by overspending. Hundreds. The dot com era is a good example. What we see today are those businesses that actually succeeded, but most if not all of the former technology companies are lost in the dustbin of time as being consumed by either poor business models (or none at all) PLUS overspending and hype. History may not repeat itself precisely, but it does rhyme.

This is due to the Covid vaxx, clearly. I did a bit of researching after I read this article:

“The number of new annual dementia cases worldwide is estimated to increase more than twofold by 2050 from 2023 levels, according to a recently published peer-reviewed study.

*snip*

The study analyzed blood samples of females for plasma p-tau217, a type of protein that indicates early brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s.

“We observed a 3-fold higher hazard of all-cause dementia with higher baseline p-tau217 levels,” the study said.”

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/new-dementia-cases-projected-more-double-globally-2050

TPTB are blaming the elevated levels of plasma p-tau217 on “long Covid.” I call bullshizzle on that. It’s the vaxx.

The worst part is, it’s too damned late to do a thing about it. These people have already taken the thing.

It would be good for you to consider a mini-unSpike protocol just before/during/after medical visits for sure.

Easiest method that I’ve found is applying gel “horse” ivermectin topically over throat and maybe over cheek bones morning/evening of the day I will be in close quarters with potential spike carriers. It comes out of the tube kind of like toothpaste. I just use 1/2″ to 1″ of it depending on the expected exposure.

Valerie Curren

Thank you for the tip!

Aubergine

Good for you! Yes, ivermectin will absorb through the skin.

Aubergine

It is my theory only, but I do believe that “incidental” contact is handled somewhat by our miraculous immune system, if we are taking proper care of it, and an “assist” by ivermectin if we know we’ve been exposed.

Not everyone who took the poison directly just once or twice seems to be horribly affected by problems, and I think that may be because there wasn’t as much poison in some of the shots. People’s bodies were able to recover. It’s the people who got “hot lots,” or many boosters, who were most affected. And people with prolonged exposure to someone else who got shot up, like Deplorable Patriot.

That’s my working theory anyway.

Drones Hit Yandex Site in First Major Attack on Russian Data Hub

MOSCOW, Oct 8 (Reuters) – Drones hit a data centre ⁠owned ⁠by Russia’s Yandex, the country’s leading AI and ⁠technology company said on Thursday, in the first major attack on a Russian data hub since the ​start of the war with Ukraine.

Mutual drone attacks by Russia and Ukraine this year have gradually spread across the economy, from energy facilities and refineries to ports ‌and vessels carrying oil and grain, e-commerce warehouses ‌and, most recently, data centres.

Russia has conducted a strike campaign on Ukrainian data centres and telecommunications infrastructure over the past month, including targets in central ⁠Kyiv.

Yandex said the ⁠attack on its Sasovo hub, one of its five large data centres, caused a fire and ​forced it to suspend operations at the site, which hosts tens of thousands of servers. It said it was restoring affected services. 

The company, often dubbed “Russia’s Google”, said its core consumer services were not affected, but did not describe the extent of the damage.

Drone Attack on Yandex Data Center in Sasovo… – XAB.info

The incident occurred on October 8, 2026, in the town of Sasovo, Ryazan Oblast, where a powerful fire broke out as a result of the UAV attack. The facility completely halted its operations, leaving millions of users without access to key digital services.

Zelenskyy Resumes Refinery Strikes as Russian Diesel Deal Divides Europe

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that Ukraine would resume attacks on Russian refineries after a three-day pause requested by the Trump administration. Zelenskyy also alleged that Washington had cut intelligence sharing and restricted satellite service. Trump denied cutting intelligence sharing, while Zelenskyy’s office said the satellite speed restrictions had been lifted.

The dispute comes as President Donald Trump’s diesel agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin divides European leaders. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev endorsed the deal Thursday, saying lower fuel prices would help European competitiveness. He opposed attacks on both Russian refineries and Ukrainian power plants. Other European leaders criticized the agreement, with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson warning that additional Russian revenue would help finance the war.

Separately, a German trial over the September 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage began Wednesday. Prosecutors accuse former Ukrainian military officer Serhii Kuznetsov of coordinating the operation and allege the perpetrators acted on behalf of Ukrainian state authorities. Kuznetsov maintains his innocence, and Kyiv denies involvement.

Meanwhile, MS NOW corrected its report, attributed to two unnamed sources, that FBI Director Kash Patel had arrived in Russia. Patel was attending a law enforcement event at Liberty University in Virginia. Correspondent Ken Dilanian acknowledged the error and said the timing of any potential Russia trip remained unclear.

Burning Bright: (Speaking of dot connecting… I hope he is reading things correctly)

Well, we’ve been rugged before … but this time, I think we actually may be heading toward the final winter of engineered discontent between the Russian Federation and the Nazi … err … the Ukrainian Proxy State on its borders.

And since we’ve probably encouraged both the autistic and the not-so-autistic among you to be more autistic than whatever baseline level of autism you already had over the last few years, let’s tap into a touch of said tism’ to see how Cascade thinking and Narrative mapping works by running down a series of headlines, and how they tell the direction of the story being (re)programmed into the Collective Mind.

1) ‘Defiant Zelenskyy Resumes Russian Refinery Drone Strikes’

This is a good table-setter.

Zelenskyy (Our Boy Z, for those who know,) continues to play his part to perfection, almost cartoonishly escalating against the Russian Federation at the very moment the Trump Administration is calling for him to do the opposite, and at the very geopolitical moment when Europe can least afford the optics.

2) ‘Bulgarian PM breaks ranks with EU leaders to back Trump-Putin diesel deal’

Which leads us to the second header, wherein we are seeing core EU member states begin to publicly break ranks with the rest of the Collectorate as their respective populations feel the pressure of heightened energy prices that are spiking before the ultimate winter of discontent on the European continent.

As I have been saying for months, if you think Americans are experiencing some pain at the pump, take a look at EU Nat Gas and heating prices on a relative basis.

And now, consider who said Europeans are going to hold responsible for their pain in light of the very public and very performative spat over Russian refinery strikes between Trump and Zelenskyy.

3) ‘Nord Stream Sabotage Trial Begins With Explosive Allegations Against Ukraine’

My, my.

I’m old enough to remember when some of us immediately called out the Nord Stream 2 sabotage as a Ukrainian (with EU assist) false flag operation designed to inflict pain on the European Continent in order to force them and their populations into a war footing against the Russian Federation.

Now, amidst the wash of Ukrainian escalations and Trumpian appeasements, we get a show trial about the Ukrainian saboteurs?

I wonder what sort of revelations said saboteurs are going to have in the offing, up to and including who approved, planned and ultimately covered up an operation those implicated are already admitting to be ‘state-run.’

4) ‘Trump Admin Floats Unfreezing Russian Assets In Big Move To Restart Talks’

Donald Trump operates on public mandate.

In the US, he has had broad public mandate to break from the warmongers for some time.

Now, I believe he’s using that renewed mandate to use Ukraine’s escalations as Narrative cover for a full scale pivot toward the Russian Federation under the guise of pragmatic appeasement and deal-making.

I have been saying since March 2022 that I believe the deals are already done, and this deal has long been at the top of my list.

I have also argued that the deal that will have already been done will be virtually (or entirely) identical to the original deal the Russian Federation proposed to Ukraine in March 2022, which we are told Zelenskyy agreed to in principle and that the EU, especially the UK under Trumpian ripoff Boris Johnson stepped in to thwart at the time.

Let’s see how that particular take ages.

5) ‘MS NOW Walks Back Report That FBI Director Kash Patel Landed In Russia’

Finally, in the midst of the engineered chaos, the MSM (including outlets that Trump recently banned for publishing damaging Fake News with National Security implications) falsely reports that FBI Director Kash Patel is in Moscow as we speak.

SPOILER ALERT!

Kash Patel was not and is not in Moscow as of this writing, forcing MS NOW into an awkward and immediate retraction and apology tour, while drawing attention to their (perhaps imaginary, perhaps real and clandestine) unnamed sources close to the situation.

This tells us two things:

The Fake News remains the enemy of the people and are engaged in an active subversion campaign against Trump’s peace efforts with Russia …

And …

The Fake News is absolutely terrified of the final convergence of Trump and Putin in the central narrative because of what that might suggest about the endgame of the Sovereign Alliance, which includes a rapid crisis cascade against the Globalist System of Systems.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict marked my entry into the Info War as Burning Bright.

It will also mark the biggest inflection point on the world stage whose resolution represents the event horizon between the Unipolar World Order and the Multipolar World being constructed from its bones.

Fascinating info on Polymaths. I think that P term could be better described another way since the multiple areas of knowledge any given such person might display could not be any sort of math related subject. Just my 2 cents. I know that I personally despise group think & have a natural aversion to following the herd. In fact if the herd is operating like a uni-mind then I automatically start scanning for what is driving them toward the cliff!

Common synonyms for polymath include genius, savant, Renaissance man, Renaissance woman, polyhistor, scholar, intellectual, and virtuoso.

Other terms vary by context:

  • Generalist or jack-of-all-trades for someone competent in many areas.
  • Prodigy or boy wonder for a very gifted young person.
  • Egghead, nerd, or geek in informal or colloquial usage.
  • Erudite or learned as adjectives describing the quality of broad knowledge.

Well, it seems we are a tree of polymaths! (❤️ decision trees!)

Gail Combs

I was thinking the same.

TheseTruths

Well, it seems we are a tree of polymaths! 

I’m not so sure. The definition of polymath is “a person of great learning in several fields of study.” Regarding the video:

Her basic exposition is that Polymaths (people with skill and understanding in multiple domains of knowledge) are resistant to Group-Think while many (most?) others are not.

While that might be true in some instances, I don’t think one has to be a polymath in order to avoid succumbing to group-think. In other words, not everyone who has the ability to resist group-think is a polymath, and the ability to rise above group-think does not make one a polymath.

I think those who are resistant to group-think have the ability to think independently, to question, to look at things logically, to demand reality rather than fantasy, to resist pressure to conform, to look at evidence rather than anecdotes, to refrain from thinking that their experience defines a topic without further evidence, and much more.

Those who can resist group-think might include people with very little education or those who are expert in one area only. It does not require being a polymath, and I think it is inaccurate to say that anyone who has the ability to avoid group-think is a polymath.

(Concluding from that video that all who can resist group-think are polymaths is in itself a form of group-think.)

Just because we are all polymaths or not, doesn’t seem to stop some or many from disagreeing with each other. God’s Truth is not necessarily the same as man’s truth.

pgroup

Usually not the same.

TheseTruths

God’s Truth is not necessarily the same as man’s truth.

That’s why we need to look to Him for perspective, but, being sinful beings, we don’t always do as we ought. Many of the ills of society today are a direct result of leaving God out of everything and of people doing their own will, not His will as described in Scripture.

A closing line from an episode of Stargate SG-1 reads:

The thread running through it all

Consent. Nobody voted on a privatized panopticon. The government buys through private contractors what it couldn’t legally build itself, and then claims the Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply. The system can’t depend on only electing good people. It has to hold up when bad people get power”.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! I’m much improved (but still hard to tell where flu stops and jet lag starts). I am hotel blogging from Anaheim, California, immediately adjacent to the famous Disneyland, whose rooftops, peaks, and spirals I can see just outside my room’s window. This is admittedly impressive. But, to be fair —and I say this as no fan of the Mouse— California’s version is not competitive with Florida’s Walt Disney World. Our version occupies an entire swampy county, and includes warnings about resident reptiles. So. Meanwhile, your truncated Weekend Edition roundup includes: Elon Musk flipped a flying car over a row of Teslas while Axios asked what it’s for; an Oregon father on his lunch break did what the officers arrived “minutes later” to find already done; and a Rhode Island grower broke the 3,000-pound pumpkin barrier for reasons that defy all explanation, which is the best kind.

Under massive pressure from Trump there is a new bill that passed the house judiciary committee called The Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act. What this bill would do is finally empower the victims of the crimes of illegal aliens too sue local and state officials that release criminal aliens from custody. What the bill aims to do is impose the toughest crackdown on states cities and localities that refuse to turn over illegal aliens that are under federal detainers, people here illegally that have been charged or convicted of a crime, but instead sanctuary city officials just release them onto the streets. This bill creates what is called a right to private action which allows victims or families of illegal alien crime to sue the municipalities, cities, state or local officials who release violent offenders and they offend again. I can only say it’s about FREAKIN TIME! This federal bill would strip state officials from what they call civil immunity. So people like Maura Healy, Michele Wu, Mamdani, Kathy Hokel, Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, etc. would no longer be able to hide behind this civil immunity for their absolute criminal disregard for the safety of American citizens, by letting these murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc. back out onto the street. The great thing, if we can get Thune to get this through the senate, is it’s a tool for victims and their families to finally get justice.
This bill also cuts off federal funding for any and all sanctuary states that continue to break federal law by harboring or releasing illegal aliens.
Here’s one of thousands of horrific stories the paid off “street walking” media refuses to report and gives a look into how these satanic state officials destroy lives and families across America. Really who do these scumbags think they are.
An illegal “trans gender” man, wanted for horrific sex crimes against children in New Jersey and in Massachusetts, deliberately followed a 14 year old boy from the Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem into the bathroom of a bodega across the street and viciously raped the boy. The boy after being viscously and sadistically raped somehow managed to crawl out of the bodega and flag down witnesses on the street. The police were called and “Nicol” Suarez was arrested the following day.
The big story inside the story is Maura Healy, Massachusetts Governor, had Suarez in custody. ICE had sent the detainer to local law enforcement in Medford Ma. and directly to Maura Healy and said you’ve got a dangerous criminal, a child rapist, a sexual predator, illegally in this country from Columbia, we want this person, don’t let this person go. This person was arrested, this person was released without bail, and hence this person disappeared. Local and state police and mainly Maura Healy, let this animal go, and he fled to New York where he struck again. Tom Homan on X said, “America wants Maura Healy in prison”. When is enough enough? Well I guess if the RINOS can redeem themselves just once this bill, which would be law, covered by meddling judges, would make a huge difference! I could tell you a thousand stories but I think this one is enough.

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 Sunday, October 11, 2026

✟

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR 2 TIMOTHY 2

The apostle exhorts Timothy to persevere with diligence, like a soldier, a combatant, and a husbandman. (1-7) Encouraging him by assurances of a happy end of his faithfulness. (8-13) Warnings to shun vain babblings and dangerous errors. (14-21) Charges to flee youthful lusts, and to minister with zeal against error, but with meekness of spirit. (22-26)1-7 As our trials increase, we need to grow stronger in that which is good; our faith stronger, our resolution stronger, our love to God and Christ stronger. This is opposed to our being strong in our own strength. All Christians, but especially ministers, must be faithful to their Captain, and resolute in his cause. The great care of a Christian must be to please Christ. We are to strive to get the mastery of our lusts and corruptions, but we cannot expect the prize unless we observe the laws. We must take care that we do good in a right manner, that our good may not be spoken evil of. Some who are active, spend their zeal about outward forms and doubtful disputations. But those who strive lawfully shall be crowned at last. If we would partake the fruits, we must labour; if we would gain the prize, we must run the race. We must do the will of God, before we receive the promises, for which reason we have need of patience. Together with our prayers for others, that the Lord would give them understanding in all things, we must exhort and stir them up to consider what they hear or read.

8-13 Let suffering saints remember, and look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith, who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despised the shame, and is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We must not think it strange if the best men meet with the worst treatment; but this is cheering, that the word of God is not bound. Here we see the real and true cause of the apostle’s suffering trouble in, or for, the sake of the gospel. If we are dead to this world, its pleasures, profits, and honours, we shall be for ever with Christ in a better world. He is faithful to his threatenings, and faithful to his promises. This truth makes sure the unbeliever’s condemnation, and the believer’s salvation.

14-21 Those disposed to strive, commonly strive about matters of small moment. But strifes of words destroy the things of God. The apostle mentions some who erred. They did not deny the resurrection, but they corrupted that true doctrine. Yet nothing can be so foolish or erroneous, but it will overturn the temporary faith of some professors. This foundation has two writings on it. One speaks our comfort. None can overthrow the faith of any whom God hath chosen. The other speaks our duty. Those who would have the comfort of the privilege, must make conscience of the duty Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, #Tit 2:14|. The church of Christ is like a dwelling: some furniture is of great value; some of smaller value, and put to meaner uses. Some professors of religion are like vessels of wood and earth. When the vessels of dishonour are cast out to be destroyed, the others will be filled with all the fulness of God. We must see to it that we are holy vessels. Every one in the church whom God approves, will be devoted to his Master’s service, and thus fitted for his use.

22-26 The more we follow that which is good, the faster and the further we shall flee from that which is evil. The keeping up the communion of saints, will take us from fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness. See how often the apostle cautions against disputes in religion; which surely shows that religion consists more in believing and practising what God requires, than in subtle disputes. Those are unapt to teach, who are apt to strive, and are fierce and froward. Teaching, not persecution, is the Scripture method of dealing with those in error. The same God who gives the discovery of the truth, by his grace brings us to acknowledge it, otherwise our hearts would continue to rebel against it. There is no “peradventure,” in respect of God’s pardoning those who do repent; but we cannot tell that he will give repentance to those who oppose his will. Sinners are taken in a snare, and in the worst snare, because it is the devil’s; they are slaves to him. And if any long for deliverance, let them remember they never can escape, except by repentance, which is the gift of God; and we must ask it of him by earnest, persevering prayer.

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.\

TEACH ME LORD

In the misty morning – at the break of dawn
With sleepy eyes and – muddy mind I fawn
Send your assistance and blessing my way
Dear Heavenly Father – teach me today

I fall on my knees to give glory and praise
I sing with the angels – our song we raise
In thanksgiving – I thank You for all I have
For Your comfort – consolation – and salve

Teach me – to love – as You willingly do
To be servant of all – just like You
Help me to learn to be humble and last
Help me let go of mistakes of the past

Teach me compassion – for my neighbor today
Help me understand – his distress – if I may
Help me bring comfort – condolence to him
Lift up his spirit – when his faith is slim

Help me be more like You – assured in love
With confidence in my Father above
With trust in Your steadfast faithfulness
With fidelity – teach me – gratefulness

Teach me – to invite – the Spirit within
Through repentance and grace – let Him in
To guide and chide me – when I should fall short
Help me – to His wisdom – quickly resort

Teach me – not my will – but His will be done
Through Him and with Him – the battle is won
Teach me – acceptance – when I find it hard
To repent – reconcile – and pride discard

Teach me – patience – a gift of the Spirit
A virtue through which – I can endear it
Give me Grace to hang on – and persevere
Through fasting and prayer – help me volunteer

Teach me – hope – a gift – to which I must cling
Patient hope – endurance – blessings will bring
Goodness and longsuffering – grant me these
Precious gifts of the Spirit – grant them please

Teach me – faith – that I may share it with all
To lighten the burden – what might befall
Calm my fears – and brighten earthly sorrow
Increase my faith – childlike trust in tomorrow

Badlands has another interesting goodie.

FBI Investigates Suspicious Letters Sent to Congressional and Election Offices Nationwide

The FBI and US Postal Service are investigating letters containing suspicious substances sent to congressional and election offices across the country, with authorities urging recipients to treat the mailings as potentially hazardous.

The Senate was alerted to the investigation in a message from the Senate Sergeant at Arms obtained by The Associated Press. The situation appeared isolated to the Senate, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Packages containing a powdery substance prompted evacuations at election offices in Louisiana and Oklahoma this week. The Ohio secretary of state also reported that the Postal Service intercepted a package containing white powder intended for his office, adding that similar mailings had targeted election officials in multiple states.

An image included in the warning message to the Senate showed one of the envelopes bearing a return address for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) headquarters. It remains unclear whether the DSA had any involvement in the mailings. A DSA spokesperson told the New York Post that the organization has not been located at the address listed on the envelope since 2013.

The incidents come three weeks before Election Day and recall a 2023 scare in which several election offices received envelopes containing fentanyl.

You’re fast! 😁

“Barbara Boyd opens with President Trump’s remarks to reporters on Friday, before his Georgia rally, about Ukraine’s President Zelensky: he knows the details of how the war began, and at some point he will release them. She argues that the real story of the war’s origins threatens what remains of Washington’s Deep State, and is driving Europe and Canada into acts of state suicide to keep the war going.

The episode follows the President’s push to bring down diesel prices ahead of the November 3 midterms, from the threatened U.S. export ban and the emergency diesel stocks of France and Germany to the Treasury license for Russian diesel, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on America First.

It covers the peace plan Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff discussed with Ukrainian and European officials in Florida, as reported by David Ignatius, the restriction of Starshield, and the President’s Newsmax interview.

It then turns to the European and Canadian response: Anne Applebaum on the Ukrainian army, the EU summit in Brussels and Ukraine’s €70 billion financing gap, Ukraine’s shortage of Patriot interceptors, the IMF’s growth forecasts for Europe, the polls in France and Germany, and Mark Carney’s 100-Year Partnership Declaration with Ukraine.

This explains the attack against Jared Kushner. It may also explain the actual reason Trump yanked Kimberly Guilfoyle out of Greece.

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle dated from 2018 until they ended their engagement in late 2024. SO POTUS would know her and want her out of harms way.

Aug 2026 Turkey plans for war scenarios amid expanding Israel-Greece defense ties, official letter reveals

Turkey’s Defense Ministry has disclosed that it is conducting preparations for scenarios ranging from crisis and heightened tension to outright war as Ankara closely monitors a rapidly expanding military partnership between Israel and Greece, according to an official government document.

In a letter sent to a lawmaker in the Turkish Parliament on August 10 and signed by Defense Minister Yaşar Güler, the ministry said work concerning “possible crisis, tension and war” in Turkey’s surrounding region is continuing in close coordination among all relevant state institutions. The unusually explicit reference to war came in a response focused specifically on Greece’s military posture in the Aegean and its growing defense relationship with Israel.

In an unprecedented paradigm shift in Turkey’s war plans, Güler coupled Ankara’s contingency planning for war with an acknowledgment that Turkey is closely tracking Israeli-Greek military cooperation and developments affecting Turkish security and interests in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean…

The Cabal WANTS WWIII and this looks like another attempt to get it.

Now Turkey wants their people to die. Religion of peace strikes again!

I think it’s all posturing. It’s ludicrous that most wars happen in 2026. This isn’t medieval times. Almost nobody’s PEOPLE have any issues with any other country’s PEOPLE.

It’s just criminals and tyrants, willing to throw their own people into the meat grinder, for personal benefit.

Nearly all wars today are orchestrated by scum like the city of londonistan.

In 2026, most countries would be better off without government, considering what their governments actually do to them.

Give them what they want. Not the countries, the Cabal people.

Intelligence agencies know who all the cabal people are. Use special forces and make them all disappear. They’re trying to start a war, which makes them enemy combatants.

You could even do it Constitutionally, by issuing Letters of Marque and Reprisal.

They’re trying to start a war that would cause millions to be killed, and that’s a crime against humanity.

They’ve done such a good job of hiding their identities from the public, the public wouldn’t even know they were gone, so there couldn’t be any repercussions without other cabalists coming out of the slime and admitting they were the baddies.

It’s much harder to disappear famous people, like the cabal’s puppet leaders, because you can whip up sympathy and virtue-signaling umbrage for public figures.

But secret cabalist puppet masters?

Why, we hardly knew ye… at all.

So nobody will miss ye, either.

Las Vegas Man Gets 5 Years for Molotov Attack on Tesla Collision Center

A Las Vegas man who admitted to using a firearm and Molotov cocktails to destroy and damage vehicles and property at a Tesla-branded repair facility in March 2025 was sentenced earlier this week by United States District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey to 60 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. 

Court records say in the early morning hours on March 18, 2025, Paul Hyon Kim shot out two exterior security cameras at the Tesla Collision Center Las Vegas with a .300 Blackout AR-platform semiautomatic rifle. 

The government recommended a 240-month prison sentence.

…Kim spray-painted the word “RESIST” in large capital letters on the double entrance doors. Kim then fired several shots into Tesla vehicles parked in front of the repair facility. Next, Kim threw three Molotov cocktails into three vehicles; two exploded and erupted into flames, and a third did not detonate. In total, five vehicles were destroyed beyond repair. Kim fled on foot to his car, then drove away. 

…In February 2026, Kim pleaded guilty to two counts of arson of property used in interstate commerce; one count of attempted arson of property used in interstate commerce; and one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm (destructive device). 

People went wild, seeming to think there would be no consequences. And under Dems, there might not have been.

ONLY FIVE YEARS??? What about having to PAY triple damages too?

Yours Truly will keep pounding this drum.
Any interested person needs to download / print off / save, this report:
https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf

The above is the report on BNT162b2 that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA as “CONFIDENTIAL” on 30 April 2021.
Page 30 of the report is the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section. This list is 8 pages long. There are over 1200 different types of serious adverse events that BNT162b2 (FDA approved under the name COMIRNATY) that were reported to Pfizer-BioNTech. The reporting period covers ONLY between 11 December 2020, when the FDA granted the initial EUA for BNT162b2 to be used in the United States, through 28 February 2021. This report is only ONE of the documents that BOTH the FDA and Pfizer-BioNTech wanted to keep sealed for 75 years. They were sued and lost in court. A federal judge ordered the release of thousands of documents.

Dr. Robert Malone is just now making the “discovery” that COMIRNATY causes MS. The FDA KNEW about this back in April 2021.

Embedded in this tweet is a video with Dr. John Campbell.

Here is a portion of page 35 (page 6 of the Appendix 1), listing “Multiple Sclerosis” as a serious Adverse Event from BNT162b2:

It’s chilling. I downloaded it. I’m guessing this could also be true of other COVID jabs because they use the same mechanism? The Dr. Campbell’s tweet says, “COVID-19 vaccination can cause multiple sclerosis due to cross-reactive CD4+ T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.”

PAVACA1

Thank you.
BNT162B2 (COMIRNATY) and mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX, mNEXSPIKE) basically have the same / very similar ingredients. The difference between the two companies is that BNT162B2 uses ALC-0315 and ALC-0159 as prime lipid nanoparticles; while SPIKEVAX / mNEXSPIKE use SM-102 as the prime lipid nanoparticle.
Pfizer-BioNTech has captured the lion’s share of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” market.
Moderna is trying to gain ground on Pfizer-BioNTech by branching out into other types of modRNA “vaccines”, such as mRNA-4157 (Intismeran), the “on-demand modRNA cancer vaccine” that’s lab-created from the patient’s own cancer tumor cells.

Oct 17, 2026 #DOJ #JocelynBenson #Michigan

The Justice Department submits a statement of interest in a Michigan election lawsuit, warning officials against destroying voting records after Secretary Jocelyn Benson ordered electronic poll book data erased. Robert Gouveia Esq.

Gail Combs

The Trump Admin is playing HARD BALL!

 Gouveia gets into the nitty gritty of the data that is in the poll books (ORIGINAL) and what is NOT copied over to other records. ONLY the poll books has the complete record. Secretary Jocelyn Benson and ALL the other clerks that followed her orders are now in violation of the Federal as well as the State laws on election record keeping. THIS IS A FEDERAL FELONY

BRAVE AI

Federal law mandates the retention of poll books and other election records for 22 months following any federal election. 

 This requirement is established under 52 U.S.C. § 20701 (Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1960), which requires election officers to preserve all records and papers relating to voting acts, including voter participation data and poll books, for that period. 

52 U.S. Code § 20701 – Retention and preservation of records and papers by officers of elections; deposit with custodian; penalty for violation (May 1960)

Every officer of election shall retain and preserve, for a period of twenty-two months from the date of any general, special, or primary election of which candidates for the office of President, Vice President , presidential elector, Member of the Senate , Member of the House of Representatives , or Resident Commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are voted for, all records and papers which come into his possession relating to any application, registration, payment of poll tax, or other act requisite to voting in such election, except that, when required by law, such records and papers may be delivered to another officer of election and except that, if a State or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico designates a custodian to retain and preserve these records and papers at a specified place, then such records and papers may be deposited with such custodian, and the duty to retain and preserve any record or paper so deposited shall devolve upon such custodian. Any officer of election or custodian who willfully fails to comply with this section shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Gateway Pundit got there hands on the DOJs Statement of Interest.

Breaking: In Rare Move, DOJ Files Statement of Interest in Michigan Trial Court — Tells Judge Poll Book Records are Federal Election Records Jocelyn Benson Must Preserve

….“The United States enforces the voting records law, so when it tells the court what the law requires, that matters. It said poll book data, including all metadata, are federal election records and that the Secretary of State is responsible for preserving them. That’s exactly what Michelle McQueer has been saying since October of last year, when she first asked the Secretary which law to follow and got no answer.”

Kijewski added a critical caveat about timing:

“The government’s statement was written from the Secretary’s September 30 ruling. The day before it was filed, the Secretary’s own data manager swore in an affidavit filed with the court that the list of voters each precinct used on election day is never copied into the state database. So the facts the government was asked to assume aren’t the facts anymore. The judge has the affidavit. He’ll decide.”

  :wpds_arrow: The Justice Department also said that if the Secretary’s factual claims were accurate and all poll book data were uploaded and preserved, it would not prioritize prosecuting clerks who deleted files under the rule. That is the condition Kijewski says the new affidavit now contradicts.

  :wpds_shock:

I was struck by his distinction between copies of records and originals. Keeping copies does not satisfy the law. They have to keep the original records.

Gail Combs

Also the copies are just partial records. They do not contain all the information.

That is the crux of the case.

I have heard what makes prosecution difficult is proving INTENT of fraud. They just all say, “I didn’t know!” and it’s not a felony without proof.

It matches up with observations I made during COVID and after the vaccines were rolling out, during the first few years. Both the speed of variant evolution AND the number of “died suddenly” cases fell as people stopped taking the vaccines. Both would be expected if critics of the vaccines were correct about them.

Given Somalians are tribal, I wonder just how many in Michigan are part of Omar’s tribe or associate tribes. Are part of the Somali Marxist Terrorists that were defeated.

If they are associated clans & tribes — a network, if you will, it could explain the massive FRAUD and the digging for DNA.
