“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Here we are on Thursday and the day started with Sundance posting using this photo:
Never mind all the analysis of what the documents are. The lampooning of the photo itself was most entertaining.
Dying to know who the set designer is at @FBI. The time they took to lay every document out as dramatically as possible, with the bottom one framed by your fancy ruler. Just exquisite, reminiscent of your dramatic shoot of Manafort’s clothing. I smell on Oscar nom! pic.twitter.com/6eQrF0H0iv
So the documents are so secretive that the FBI dumped them on the floor and took pictures of them, so dumbasses like you could post the pics for the world to see.
We see the fully evolving system today with the merge of federal intelligence agencies and social media (big tech) collaborating. Disinformation panels etc, are yet again an outcome of this political surveillance continuum. Now we see that ordinary discussion of information, newly defined as against the interest of the regime, has evolved to become targeting material. Speech is now controlled from the same viewpoint as ‘terror threats.’
Just had a discussion with a sheep who believes that DeSantis would be better than Trump because DeSantis doesn’t “mean tweet”.
Remind the 🐑 that “mean tweets” led us to the greatest economy in the world, built the wall, exposed the corrupt global media, built the Supreme Court to last, reenergized the forgotten men and women of America, promised to destroy the hidden enemy who wishes to destroy us.
No man is perfect, but no man has underwent the challenges President Trump has gone for us! 🇺🇸
For those who associate women with instinctively protecting children or with being supportive of a traditionally religious life, this era in American history has provided something of a shock.
And mean girl behavior is not discouraged. That’s another problem.
Or Huma leaving classified docs in her car in a burn bag. Or her asst leaving classified docs in a Russian hotel. Or Combetta with FIVE EYES docs in a Gmail account. I could do this all day…
Good Morning. If you do not share the opinions of the current ruling regime of the United States, the President and his progressive brown shirts want you imprisoned or dead. And they tell you that on a daily basis.
Note to the world: you don’t really need an F-15 for self defense. That plane kept a roof over my family for a while, and, yeah, that’s for specialists.
Finally someone is talking about Biden’s daughters diary…where she wrote that she took inappropriate showers with her dad Joe. pic.twitter.com/bF1rnx8Brw

18Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” 21So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apol’los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; 23and you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
LUKE 5:1-11
1While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennes’aret. 2And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, 7they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zeb’edee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men.” 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Just remember, he surrendered to end the Cold War, thus giving us all the shooting wars in the Middle East to keep the Military Industrial Complex in the money.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, has died, per AFP.
He allowed companies like Pizza Hut to enter into Russia, and thus one of the greatest commercials of all time was created.

Something’s up, that’s for sure. That’s one to file away for later.
Let’s see…Archbishop Vigano takes the Vatican to task:
On Monday Kash Patel, the former chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump, joined Tucker Carlson to discuss the recent raid on Mar-a-Lago and the release of the highly redacted affidavit to raid the former president’s home.
During the discussion Kash Patel told Tucker’s audience the real reason why the raid took place. It was to prevent the disclosure of unclassified Russiagate documents that implicated the FBI and DOJ in the garbage investigation of candidate and then President Trump.
Editor’s Commentary: Let’s cut to the chase about this particular component of the globalist elites’ plans for us. They are only interested in finding out why people are unwilling to take the jabs so they can figure out how to counter our arguments. They aren’t worried about the jabs being safe or effective. That’s a sales pitch. They want everyone jabbed for whatever nefarious reasons they really have and they’re willing to go very, very far to achieve that goal.
“I chaired the commission for the Lancet for 2 years on Covid. I’m pretty convinced it came out of a US lab of biotechnology […] We don’t know for sure but there is enough evidence. [However] it’s not being investigated, not in the US, not anywhere.”
It’s pretty obvious to me that the Biden Student Loan Handout is a midterm Hail Mary. With a 40 percent approval rating, why wouldn’t the president throw some free stuff at the gender studies graduate vote? What has he got to lose?
Notice that I said: “what has he got to lose.” I didn’t say: what has the average American got to lose by adding $300 billion to $1 trillion to the national debt?
It helps me understand how the Peronistas wrecked Argentina, and the Chávezistas wrecked Venezuela. When your policies have wrecked the economy, why not double down, throw money at your supporters, and call your opponents names?
Let’s leave aside the economic debacle of the 1930s where FDR’s famous Brain Trust failed to recover the U.S. economy from the Great Depression with their New Deal and FDR blamed it all on “economic royalists.”
Let’s start with the Sixties, when Democrats passed the Civil Rights Acts (with Republican support) and then the big spending programs of the Great Society. If you were a Democrat in those years you knew that Democrats had cracked the code to justice and prosperity and would rule for a hundred years. But something went wrong.
I know this was posted yesterday, but it’s really worth a repeat as the mainstream media really did try to portray the country as racist when the vast majority of us just are not.
For decades, ordinary people in Cincinnati were tarred as hateful racists in order to further a specific narrative about America. They weren’t the only victims of myths related to Robinson. Enos Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals has been villainized for decades for slashing Robinson with his spiked cleats during a play at first base. But Slaughter always insisted the injury was accidental, and sportswriters at the game from both St. Louis and New York City agreed, saying that nothing appeared deliberate about the incident. Similarly, in the 2013 film about Robinson, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Fritz Ostermueller is portrayed intentionally hitting Robinson in the head with a pitch before insulting him with a racist comment. In reality, the pitch hit Robinson on the wrist and there is no evidence of such an insult at all.
But all three myths will live on, because they are useful. They promote a certain story about America: That until very recently the country was overwhelmingly bigoted and hateful, and good for very little else. In fact, America’s entire 20th-century history, as it is taught in schools and portrayed on screen, is essentially “fake.” It is a sequence of myths atop myths, created to make Americans hate their ancestors and their history.
We know that in the 2020 Election millions of ballots were inserted that we don’t know where they came from and millions more that we don’t know who signed them. This is because the chain of custody documentation is missing and signatures were not checked on millions of ballots. In addition, in Wisconsin the ballot drop boxes used in the election were illegal and tens of thousands of ballots were dropped in these devices.
We know that the results of the election had bizarre patterns that clearly were not random. We saw huge blocks of ballot drops and then consistent patterns of Biden to Trump results after that point.
It’s in the air. Might not happen, but there are people out there saying it.
Tweets!
Biden & Congressional Democrats are responsible for this. All of it. Every vile horror. Every wicked crime. Every inhuman depravity brought on by their open border. They laugh & smile & dine with Wall Street while the cartels they empower commit barbarous crimes against children. https://t.co/5d2mcAJGwm

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
Just ’cause I’m in the mood.
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
1But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. 2I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready, 3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men? 4For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apol’los,” are you not merely men? 5What then is Apol’los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6I planted, Apol’los watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor. 9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another, as well as Gil, RDS, Bakocarl, Nora, Cthulhu (who is getting prayers whether it’s life threatening or not) and any others facing serious health issues right now..
We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
SATIRE SECTION
There’s a new JP, too, but I’m saving that for tomorrow. This one’s too good.
Over the weekend, as was thoroughly hashed out in Monday’s daily thread here at the Q Tree, two big personalities in the MAGA movement got into it over one party’s reporting on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. In short, the researcher known as Sundance put out some raw numbers and facts, and the comic relief conservative personality known as Catturd decided that SD was doing so in an effort to put Democrat Charlie Crist into office.
First, here are the facts Sundance reported:
DeSantis has the lowest percentage of small donor grassroots campaign contributions for any governor in the nation (6%)
Highest percentage of campaign funds from Hedge Fund Mgrs, Wall St, Multinationals, Corporations and Billionaire donations of any governor in the nation. (94%) pic.twitter.com/zqrWTu1xZZ
DeSantis supports Red Flag Laws. Gov. w/ highest percentage of gun confiscation in the nation. Gov. w/ highest number of J-6 detainees in DC (100 Floridians) that he will never mention. Red State Gov w/ weakest response to FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago (which was in Florida) pic.twitter.com/v4FJduN2Kf
Unfortunately, the optics here on DeSantis are not good. The reporting is accurate, and it does look like Wall Street invested in someone they think will keep Trump out of the White House in the future.
LOOKS LIKE. Will it happen that DeSantis challenges Trump in the 2024 race? Only time will tell, but the reality is DeSantis in the White House too soon will make a mess that will endanger the republic moreso than it is in danger now.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. President Donald Trump was the one to get us to believe in Make America Great Again. He was the one to get us to believe in ourselves and our nation after decades of abusive decline. He’s the one who deserves our support.
Why would this blow up happen now? Who knows, but the questions about all of this are piling up.
Why was DeSantis ALLOWED as a uni-party pick, if he is one, to let Florida thrive during the pandemic? My state’s MAGA pick for governor was run out of office on a trumped up and false charge before the pandemic hit, and we have a uniparty hack who basically didn’t obstruct when local politicians got on power trips with the masks and mandates.
Why now, Sundance? Why bring this up now rather than after the midterms?
Why did this trigger Catturd, thus getting MAGA people to take sides and threatening to divide the movement even more than it had been?
It's all good. It's sad but understandable actually. Most traditional GOP voters never followed how the Tea Party movement was corrupted by the RNC club. They have no reference for the cliff nor the Wall Street/UniParty constructs that lead there. https://t.co/cU5pXz3Wib
Personally, I think those are the better questions to ask.
The bottom line, though, is that we cannot allow such squabbles to divide us as a movement. President Donald Trump is our leader. Abandoning him now would negate all the accomplishments he has made on our behalf.
They want you DIVIDED. DIVIDED by RACE. DIVIDED by RELIGION. DIVIDED by CULTURE. DIVIDED by CLASS. DIVIDED by POLITICAL AFFILIATION. DIVIDED YOU ARE WEAK. TOGETHER YOU ARE STRONG. WE, THE PEOPLE. WWG1WGA! Q
We are barreling forward into uncharted waters, but Trump just gave us a massive hint with his truth today. Which begs the question, how hard would it be to slap Trump and Biden’s name on the 2022 midterm ballot? It’s already a highly anticipated federal election. It’s certainly feasible.
This would explain why Trump has been rallying like he’s on the campaign trail. It would explain why he’s still acting Presidential, and why he hasn’t declared he’s running in 2024. It certainly FEELS like Trump intends to be back sooner than 2024, and it looks like he just revealed his avenue(s) to make that happen.
I thought the most direct path would be to win the midterms with filibuster-proof supermajorities, rendering the Dems useless, appoint Trump as Speaker, impeach Biden and Harris, and Trump is President. Trump denied this as a possibility, and now, I see why. The normies have to be shown just how much the nation TRULY supports Donald Trump.
Why? Humans are extremely susceptible to group-think and mob-mentality. We have the innate drive to “belong” in the group out of the innate FEAR of being ostracized. Thus why the leftist sheep feel so justified in discriminating and hating Trump supporters. Because the media has conditioned them to believe “everyone is doing it”. The sheep don’t know what they are doing, they are just doing what they think they are supposed to be doing.
However, when the tide turns, and the public not only see that not only there really was fraud, but they see the amount of people who legitimately voted for Trump, the sheep will psychologically malfunction. They will have to accept that they are not the majority they believed themselves to be. And when confronted with the reality that “everyone is supporting Trump”, many will ditch their Ukraine and BLM flags, purely as a means to “belong” to the group.
After I first scheduled the post, these came up on Free Republic:
Tony Ornato, the Secret Service’s assistant director who became a central figure during a Jan. 6 committee hearing in which he reportedly told a witness that former President Trump was “irate,” has left the agency.
A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings.
But, nothing is happening.
A must read if readers here have not done it already:
If black hats were in complete control, do you really believe that they would have allowed Roe v Wade to fall? No. They would have done whatever they needed to do to ensure that Moloch’s power remained untainted and unfettered. But that is not what happened, is it?
And if that doesn’t encourage you, then you have this incredibly prophetic moment to hang your hat on as well: The Georgia Guidestones themselves collapsed and were wiped away. Don’t you see it? [Their] plan is collapsing before your very eyes.
Q: IF (some will consider this a big if) the corruption in our government is ever to be truly exposed and purged… how do you imagine that would happen? How are organized crime networks ever taken down?
A: It always requires some people “on the inside” who take the risk and penetrate the crime network.
Q: IRL how would anybody penetrate the deep state network, and for long enough to be a threat to their power?
A: By appearing to be one of them…
Q: HOW would you or I really know the difference between somebody playing a bad guy role, and an actual bad guy?
A: IMO… we would not know, or the person would be so bad at their job they’d already be dead.
We aren’t going to know until it’s all over, and the last trap has sprung. You either have faith that some good people exist in the world, who’d be willing to risk it all to penetrate and expose the deep state… or you don’t.
They trotted Biden out to a friendly audience in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and he gave a real barn-burner of a speech. He was angrier than an old coot screaming at the neighborhood kids to get off of his yard. Apparently, the Democrats think that is a good look for them. I wonder if they’ve considered that this speech may come to define the Biden presidency?
The speech was about those that voted for Donald Trump, but it revealed a great deal more about our presidential sock-puppet himself. We learned that Joe has an advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
In 1982, the Court struck down a Texas statute that denied access to taxpayer-funded K-12 education to children brought into the country illegally. It also struck down the Tyler Independent School District’s policy of charging an annual $1,000 tuition fee for each student not “legally admitted” into the U.S. to compensate for lost state funding.
The Court argued that illegal aliens are people “in any ordinary sense of the term” and, as such, afforded Fourteenth Amendment protections. In the majority opinion, Justice William J. Brennan Jr. wrote that such policies would likely lead to “the creation and perpetuation of a subclass of illiterates within our boundaries, surely adding to the problems and costs of unemployment, welfare, and crime.”
The decision in Plyler effectively abstracted the Constitution so as to cover every sentient biped with a prefrontal cortex, exploding the preambular statement that restricted it “to ourselves and our posterity”—to America and Americans. It also meant similar laws anywhere in the U.S would be struck down.
Haley’s nonprofit policy advocacy group, Stand For America, Inc., has received major donations from people including New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, investor Stanley Druckenmiller, and Miriam Adelson and her late husband, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, the Internal Revenue Service filings reveal.
The roster of supporters who gave undisclosed donations in 2019 also includes Suzanne Youngkin, the wife of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, himself a possible presidential contender; former Pennsylvania Senate candidate and hedge fund executive David McCormick; and Vivek and Lakshmi Garipalli, members of a New Jersey family that has donated large sums to Democrats — but which gave Haley’s organization $1 million.
The donor list also includes dozens of people who gave anonymously to Haley’s nonprofit but have not given disclosed contributions to her PAC, which was formed two years later and is required to regularly disclose the names of donors who give at least $200. Those contributors include the Garipallis and GOP megadonor Joe Ricketts.
The ideology of the mega-rich will shape our society for the next generation, in large part through philanthropy. The non-profit sector, the primary vehicle for inherited wealth to be laundered into political influence, has been growing rapidly; in the US, non-profits’ assets have grown nine-fold since 1980. In 2020, non-profits brought in $2.62 trillion in revenues, constituting over 5.6% of the US economy. Increasingly, much this money came from the new tech elite: among the most prolific donors were Jeff Bezos and his ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott; Bill Gates and his now-discarded wife, Melinda French Gates; Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan; and Laureen Powell Jobs, the Left-leaning publisher of the Atlantic and the widow of Apple’s founder.
This rise of non-profits is reminiscent of feudal times, when the rich and powerful donated to the Church to ensure that its message wouldn’t threaten their power. Indeed, our society is becoming more like the Middle Ages all the time, with entrepreneurial success becoming more difficult and property and wealth becoming ever more concentrated. “Inherited wealth”, notes Thomas Piketty, is making a “comeback”. In the US, according to the consulting firm Accenture, the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers will gift their heirs up to $30 trillion by 2030 and $75 trillion by 2060.
The other side is going to try to pin the blame for COVID and the shots on President Trump, but that is beginning to see pushback before it happens.
Now suddenly everyone is waking up from an almost two-year slumber. The lightbulbs are going off. Conservative talk star Dan Bongino just days ago called getting the vaccine “the biggest regret of my life.” He now realizes he has a ticking timebomb in his body that could cripple or kill him sometime soon. He regrets getting it. He regrets ever encouraging his fans and listeners to get it.
Tucker Carlson has gone from warning the Covid vaccine doesn’t work and it’s a huge failure, to reporting dramatically rising death rates in countries all over the world. He even reported data that shows you’re much more likely to die if you’re vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
Welcome to my world Tucker. I’ve been reporting this data every day on my national radio show for the past 18 months.
President Joe Biden announced another nearly $3 billion in military aid for Ukraine’s fight against the Russians—the largest single military aid package for Ukraine yet.
This is the difficult and illuminating thing about reading DeVoto today, because in all of his writings he is resistant to the idea that settlers and small-time workers of the West were the engines of the genocide and despoliation that came to the region in their wake. In DeVoto’s telling, these people were complicated moral agents and often victims themselves, caught up in a churning machine of capital and government that, by the 20th century, had created a Western system defined by “laissez-faire capitalism with socialism, ownership rights without responsibility, investment but not regulation”. It was a picture of the corporatism that now colours every single part of American life, and DeVoto saw it as emerging in its first clear form in the government protection of powerful extractive industries in the Mountain West.
I like to use Dr. Amen’s acronym this way: Automatic Negative Thinking Syndrome, or ANTS. When you automatically think about the worst-case scenario right off the bat, you’re suffering from an infestation of ANTS. This syndrome fuels negativity and incites depression. Instead of thinking positive thoughts or hoping for the best, we instantly think that the worst is going to happen. If a potential job opportunity comes our way, we assume we’re not qualified.
President Joe Biden plans to host a “Unity Summit” at the White House last month, after telling Democratic donors last week that Republicans who support Donald Trump were guilty of “semi-fascism.”
His comments came after New York Governor Kathy Hochul told Republicans who don’t like the job Democrats are doing in her state to “just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK?” (She later claimed she was just talking about Republican candidates, not ordinary voters.)
And if Democrats had their way, Republicans would not be welcome in Florida, either. Charlie Crist, the party’s nominee to challenge Governor Ron DeSantis, said last week: “Those who support the governor should stay with him and vote for him and I don’t want your vote. If you have that hate in your heart, keep it there. … Those who are haters: you’re gonna go off in your own world.” The unified message from Democrats is that Republicans — not just politicians — are not wanted in society.
Whatever we deplorables do, DO NOT give them an excuse to justify this rhetoric. Keep Calm and MAGA on.
Ultimately, there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. Don't accept responsibility for their choices. Each candidate makes a choice on what path to follow. It is their decision, not yours. The allure of the $iren call is strong. Politics was not supposed to be a profession. https://t.co/CkDGBg6Oic
This misses the point. It was Brandon who weaponized DOJ to go after Trump, Brandon who revoked executive privilege, Brandon who told Comey to use to Logan Act on Flynn, Brandon who is hiding the Russiagate binder, etc.
Amazing how sure Joe is of his numbers – yet he and his administration can’t or won’t say how much the rest of us who didn’t take a loan have to pay for student loan defaults! https://t.co/SO356mgLmQ
Ford is reportedly raising the price of the 2023 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle by as much as $8,000 just a few weeks after increasing the price of its planned electric pickup truck the F-150 Lightning. https://t.co/PHGq2rtF5i
Next, Ford will make the Mustang front-wheel drive.
I wasn’t aware that Republican candidates are campaigning on the Mar-a-Lago campaign. I’ve not seen a single Republican commercial in Florida or Virginia on the subject. Perhaps I missed one. Yes, they’re being asked questions by reporters, especially national media.
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

By now, I have learned to keep my reactions pretty close to my chest. There is such a thing as reacting too soon before more information is released, and it’s easy to make assumptions if you don’t see the whole picture. There’s power in observation.
10God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. 13And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit. 14The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.

America is in dire need of leaders and supporters who care much more about the preservation of the nation’s constitutional republic than about enriching themselves or doing only what their major donors desire. America needs many more courageous, patriotic leaders like Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who, along with other bold actions, recently fired a George Soros–funded leftist Florida prosecutor.
The left is losing the battle for the minds of the American electorate, Morning Consult research shows, with voters decreasingly identifying as liberal in recent years. But that doesn’t mean the country is lurching to the right.
Instead, an increase in the share of Americans who identify as moderate, or who are uncertain about where exactly they stand on the ideological spectrum, reveals a growing and electorally decisive center that is discontented with either side’s extremes.
In 1965, columnist and commentator Paul Harvey wrote an interesting piece titled, “If I were the Devil.” This was basically a commentary on what Harvey would do if he were Satan and wanted to destroy America.
Nearly 60 years later, most of what Harvey predicted has come to pass. While America has not been completely destroyed, our nation is clearly in decline. In 2022, here’s what I would do if I wanted to finish the job.
In case you missed it, the pro-vaccine frauds at Fox News are trying to pivot away from pushing the experimental Big Pharma shots day and night for two years — it’s almost like the Pfizer and Moderna advertising dollars have suddenly dried up!
Something is going on at FOX on this, that’s for sure.
What’s going on today does not make sense — especially for those Americans who want America to succeed and remain the number-one superpower on Earth. When Mr. Biden allows for the FBI to raid his once and probably future political opponent’s personal home and threaten his political opponent with jail time in our democratic republic, we know that’s not fair, not just, and un-American. When we see fences around the White House, fences around the FBI headquarters, and fences surrounding the Capitol dome, yet there are no fences on our southern border, we know it’s just not right. When we are forced to take experimental vaccines (a clear violation of the Nuremberg Code) or not allowed to work or move about the country freely, we know that’s just not right. When we see that $85 million of American military equipment left for terrorists and goat-herders in Afghanistan who hate us and want our destruction, we wonder who is fighting for us.
We have to fight for ourselves. No one else is going to do it.
But, a reckoning is coming, and you can see the signs if you know where to look. The reckoning started before today when Anthony Fauci decided to “retire” after decades of service. It started before Walensky decided to “restructure” and “reform” the CDC. But these are two little signs that they know a dam is about to break, and they are doing their best to get in front of it before they are all flooded out. They are attempting these “changes” so that they can hide behind them and use them as cover for accountability. “See! We knew we did wrong; that is why we went ahead and fixed all of those pesky issues that caused us to harm millions of our citizens! We did wrong, we are sorry, and we restructured to make sure it never happens again.”
I wanted to make a list of their transgressions, but when I began to throw some of them out there, I realized how monotonous it would get. They started when the first case of COVID was formally declared here in the United States because their data showed the virus was circulating here far earlier. I proved it. Many of you also experienced it yourselves in the fall of 2019.
The U.S. Government, guided by the CDC, NIH, and other bureaucracies, literally DESTROYED the entire country. And it wasn’t just a United States thing; it was an entire world thing. It was tyrannical globalism. Not the kind that is ushered in by getting folks all amped up about global warming. This was much different. This was forced.
Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States on the State Department’s statement on the upcoming Tribunal in Mariupol:
🔹We have taken note of another groundless accusations against our country related to the Tribunal over Ukrainian war criminals.
🔹The upcoming Trial is aimed at bringing justice to war criminals, among which there are Nazis from the Azov Regiment. Washington is clearly afraid of making public the evidence of the inhumane acts committed by the members of this terrorist organization.
The Galveston National Laboratory (GNL), part of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the Epoch Times reports, now concedes that officials signed “poorly drafted” agreements with three Chinese labs, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The agreements gave China the power to destroy “secret files, materials, and equipment, without any backups.” The agreements applied to “all cooperation and exchange documents, data, details and materials,” were renewable every five years, and the confidentiality terms remain in force even after termination.
The UTMB claims that no documents or confidential information had been destroyed, and denies there was ever any request that documents be destroyed. That claim troubled biosafety activist Edward Hammond.
“Is it sloppiness, as UTMB suggests?” Hammond asked the Epoch Times, “or is something else going on?” The answer requires a review of matters neglected by Congress and establishment media alike.
Founded in 2006, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue is a London-based nonprofit with a stated purpose of “safeguarding human rights and reversing the rising tide of polarisation [sic], extremism, and disinformation worldwide.” The group previously worked with the Obama administration, combating “violent extremism”, and their website lists critical topics most vulnerable to fake news and hate speech….
So which Republicans help fund this nightmarish leftist enterprise? If you guessed Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, or Mitt Romney, you’d be correct. However, a few more are flying under the radar, and they are Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, Dan Sullivan, and Kay Granger.
Those seven members of Congress sit on the board of the International Republican Institute, which is listed as a donor to ISD. Additionally, ISD lists partnerships with the McCain Institute — John McCain was a former chairman for 25 years — as well as a tentacle of the United Nations. On top of receiving funding from the IRI and those seven prominent Republicans, other benefactors to the ISD include George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Russian Defense Minister, the highest ranking Russian military official only behind Putin, Sergei Shoigu, spoke at the meeting in great depth on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, and goes absolutely scorched earth on the US and the activities of the Deep State. He goes over the reason for Russia’s invasion, the Deep State biological network, the Nazi war-crimes, Taiwan, EVERYTHING!
Unlike Epstein, I have met Liz Cheney (and her parents) and have a actual basis on which to question her ethics and political motivations.
After I sat next to her at a luncheon about a year into Obama’s first term, she invited me to an intimate and private dinner with two of George W. Bush’s former national security advisers. The four of us spent several hours discussing Iran, Iraq, al-Qaeda, and Israel, and it was clear that Cheney was preparing to launch her political career, for which she had high aspirations. She asked me to write a white paper on why Israel is a strategic asset to the United States and offered to pay me $2,000 for my product. I spent one month thoroughly researching the 6,000-word paper, which was edited by a highly respected former NSA official, foreign policy expert, journalist, and conservative thinker.
After receiving the final paper from both of us in separate emails, Cheney never responded. She went completely MIA. To this day, I have no idea if she ever used the paper in her campaign or work in Congress. She never thanked me, never paid me, and never reached out to me again. I would call that rude, unprofessional, and certainly unethical. It showed a lack of character and morals, but it also showed hubris — the kind we often see from politicians like Obama and Hillary, who not only believe themselves above the law, but believe they are entitled to their power and the rest of us are here to serve them.
In reality Dugin’s proximity to Putin and the scale of his influence over him remains persistently exaggerated for reasons more to do with Dugin’s influence in the West than in Moscow, and the Western elite’s increasingly narcissistic and totalitarian character. Dugin is both the best-known contemporary Russian philosopher and among the most influential philosophers associated with the global reactionary Right. In connecting his positions to Putin the suggestion is floated that this whole school of thought, and ultimately all political dissidence, is directed from Moscow as a subversion strategy, without any real substance, or legitimate grievance, and therefore may be suppressed, as opposed to acknowledged and reckoned with….
Ubiquitous accusations of fascism belong to the same register albeit in more metaphysical, if equally delusional terms. Russia at least is a concrete geopolitical actor. Fascism and its various cognates (the far-right, white supremacism, etc.) is a supernatural contagion, somehow perpetually “rising” inversely to progressive political victories. Dugin himself has already registered the main thrust of this logic:
“First of all, they view all their enemies as fascists. After that, they begin to kill them because they are fascists. Nobody investigates anything. That’s just Bolshevism, just like in the Bolshevik Revolution or in the French Revolution. Everybody who is declared an enemy of the revolution should be exterminated.”
Fascism in this sense represents little more than the term of choice to dehumanise enemies of a paranoid political regime in order to persecute them. Nothing about this is new. In sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe the terms gazari and vaudois, after the destroyed Cathar and Waldensian heresies, were used the same way to propagate the orgy of murder today known as the witch trials.
Given the past inclination of Republicans to fight amongst themselves on the sidelines, it is an inconvenient truth that a slim congressional majority would not be enough to save them from their own party intrigues and petty rivalries. Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who held himself up as the morally superior conscience of the Republican Party, saw Donald Trump as more an intruder than a president. He tolerated the White House agenda and held his nose as he gave them legislative victories — rewriting the tax code and rebuilding the military — before retiring with a smile and surrendering the gavel to Nancy Pelosi.
Watching the waking up is painful in its slowness.
Never has an official non-belligerent been more implicated in a war. Russia and its sympathizers assert that the U.S. attempt to turn Ukraine into an armed anti-Russian camp is what the war is about in the first place. Even those who dismiss this view will agree that the United States has made itself a central player in the conflict. It is pursuing a three-pronged strategy to defeat Russia through every means short of entering the war—which, of course, raises the risk that the United States will enter the war. One prong is the state-of-the-art weaponry it is supplying to Ukraine. Since June, thousands of computer-guided artillery rockets have been wreaking havoc behind Russian lines. A second prong is sanctions. With western European help, Washington has used its control of the choke points of the global marketplace to impoverish Russians, in hopes of punishing Russia. Finally, the U.S. seeks to rally the world’s peoples to a culture war against an enemy whose traditionalism, even if it does not constitute the whole of his evil, is at least a symbol of it.
Today, we call it atomization. We believe it is especially driven by technology. But it’s not simply the machines that are creating human automatons. We have allowed the machines to create and shape our metaphysics. Part of the problem is that we have lost the threads between different spheres of life. There is no longer a difference between the public and the private self. Such notions are absent from the intellectual discussion.
People do engage with one another, but just like the endless stream of tweets, the discourse is shallow, uninformed, and narcissistic. Do we really expect to create a culture that thrives on creativity in an environment that is this toxic? Are we really that blind to the reality of a constant feedback loop that is clearly shaping an insane society that cannot sustain itself any longer?
Politics is one of the essential spheres of life. Even if we don’t consider ourselves overly political, as citizens, we engage in politics in one form or another. What happens when this particular sphere is overtaken by irrationality and corruption? A citizen will either acquiesce or fight. But what kind of life is one of submission or perpetual reaction? Either way, creation loses, and destruction wins.
The problem is, Marx didn’t live long enough to actually organize such a working class revolution. And when his successors tried, they discovered a small problem: the working class doesn’t want revolution, and in fact the working class is the most conservative class in society,
even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism). Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism)
Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition
What to do? British Fabians, a group of Marxist intellectuals, realized there was one class that was open to the idea of revolution, namely the intellectuals like themselves. They looked down on
religion and tradition as superstition, and instead of loyalty to their nation they felt loyalty only to “The People”. (Only in the abstract, of course, they didn’t seem to want the company of actual dirty uneducated people.)
Based on what I’ve seen uncovered in the past week and a half since all The Pit researchers started digging into the Konnech info: When the FBI went digging into this they uncovered a massive scandal implicating the DOD and several intel/5 EYES intel agencies in either deliberately handing this open door into our elections to the CCP or they did it accidentally from incompetence. Either way, the FBI was looking at a massive scandal that would implicate top DOD officials and Intel agency officials. They were faced with two options: pull the lid off this Pandora’s Box and pursue it where ever it led OR make it go away by flipping it on the whistleblowers who brought the Konnech data to them, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote. You’ll NEVER guess which option the FBI brass decided on….
While I rarely disagree with Victor Davis Hanson, I have to take exception to what he said on Mark Levin’s Fox show, August 14: “We’re no longer a republic anymore. We’re in a transition to a radical democracy.”
No blinkers here. Yes, the republic is imperiled, but is it finished? Unintentional, no doubt, but saying that America is cooked is tantamount to waving a big, white flag. Where’s the righteous indignation and warrior spirit so necessary to winning this fight?
Do we want to send messages of defeat to tens of millions of patriots? Mission accomplished for Democrats and their allies? Bye, bye, rule of law? Good luck maneuvering through all the antiliberty landmines?
The main propaganda line is that vaccines and boosters are ‘safe and effective’ and prevent severe illness and death. These are lies, as shown by the data.
COVID propaganda lies set a record in the history of the human race. It has killed millions of people.
The recent sharp increase in COVID deaths has caught my attention. I have been watching daily COVID statistics in The Washington Post. A few months ago, the 7-day average for deaths was about 300. In last Sunday’s paper, it was 500.
That is about a 70% increase!
And the purebloods are watching family and friends deteriorate with breaking hearts.
While primary elections occurred in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma Tuesday, Florida has general elections for school boards, meaning the winners will be the official members of the boards.
Many of the winning candidates have been endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC, an organization that has been instrumental in flipping school boards from liberal to conservative across the country.
“We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.”
“Precedent refers to a court decision that is considered as authority for deciding subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts, or similar legal issues. Precedent is incorporated into the doctrine of stare decisis and requires courts to apply the law in the same manner to cases with the same facts. Some judges have stated that precedent ensures that individuals in similar situations are treated alike instead of based on a particular judge’s personal views.
If the facts or issues of a case differ from those in a previous case, the previous case cannot be precedent. The Supreme Court in Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Aviall Services, Inc. reiterated that “[q]uestions which merely lurk on the record, neither brought to the attention of the court nor ruled upon, are not to be considered as . . . precedent.” Therefore, a prior decision serves as precedent only for issues, given the particular facts, that the court explicitly considered in reaching its decision.”
Konnech Inc., a U.S. software company based out of East Lansing, Michigan, helps manage the poll workers, poll locations, campaigns, assets, mail-in ballots, and supplies necessary to run elections in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Although, the American technology company, which was founded in 2002, is used by the U.S. Department of Defense and ‘thousands of election offices across North America’, Konnech Inc., previously built a ‘communication platform’ called ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.
Furthermore, many of the company’s software engineers and employees graduated from Chinese universities such as Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Beijing Language and Culture University, China Agricultural University, and HuaZhong University of Science and Technology.

As a reminder, Biden tried to extend the eviction moratorium despite knowing he didn’t have the authority to do so. SCOTUS checked him. Now he is proposing another obvious abuse of power for political gain. Clear that he does not take his oath or Constitutional limits seriously.

They don’t even try to hide it.
President Biden isn’t “canceling” debt, he’s shifting it onto everyone, including the majority of Americans who chose not to get a degree. This will make inflation worse, and we should focus on getting more value out of colleges rather than giving them a reason to hike prices.
We're coming full circle, as some of us warned from the beginning. First "Don't trust the Trump vaccines," then "Only Trumpers are scared of these lifesaving vaccines," and now transitioning to "The Trump vaccines were unproven and dangerous from the start!" https://t.co/NRtavfkGEN
Oh, no? He probably learned to lie while being taught by nuns. It’s not easy to do.
Without Trump (who represented the illusion of change but did so persuasively), the GOP is left with nothing more then the lesser of two evils as a strategy. Changing demographics and mail in voting (suburban wives fill out sportsball ❤️ hubby’s ballot) means that is losing way.
The 87,000 new IRS agents will have to find an additional $2.9 million tax dollars EACH to fund Biden’s $250 billion student loan giveaway. #mathymassie
The same people who lost their ever loving minds because they thought Trump colluded with Russia to influence elections despite five years of evidence to the contrary are totally fine with Joe Biden using taxpayer dollars to buy votes.

42Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. 47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, `My master is delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, 51and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
CNN is the national media firm protecting the interests of the U.S. State Dept. The Washington Post is the national media firm protecting the interests of the U.S. intelligence apparatus. The latest Twitter whistleblower information originates in,.. wait for it… “an explosive whistleblower disclosure obtained exclusively by CNN and The Washington Post.”
The filing with Delaware’s Court of Chancery seeks documents, messages, emails, financial statements, online chat or instant messages, recordings, and other forms of communication from Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter’s chief executive last year.
Dorsey is asked to produce documents and communications “reflecting, referring to, or relating to Twitter’s use of any other user metric other than mDAU (monetizable daily active users), including but not limited to, daily active users” and any other Twitter metric that monitors active users on the social media website, according to the court filing.
Dorsey has yet to issue a public comment on the subpoena.
FBI field offices in Miami, Salt Lake City, Buffalo and Newark face accusations that their upper management coerced agents to sign false affidavits, inflated terrorism caseloads to improve their apparent performance, engaged in illicit sexual activities, or concealed those of others, according to the Washington Times.
“The FBI is completely out of control and its culture and structure needs to change. Not only is the political bias completely out of control and disgustingly obvious, the FBI knows they will not be held accountable for their illegal behavior and misconduct,” said one Whistleblower in a letter to Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Tx) of the House Judiciary Committee. This whistleblower alleged that FBI Director Christopher Wray ignored her allegations of sexual misconduct.
Of course, we’re talking about the state-level games here, not national games like Powerball, but it’s definitely suspicious. Plus, there seems to be an art in Maryland of hiding one’s identity behind giant checks, probably to keep family and friends from finding out about the winners’ good fortune, but now it’s looking like it could be to keep lottery fanatics and the authorities from catching on to the repeat wins too.
Soros steered $2.5 million from his Democracy PAC to the Senate Majority PAC in July, while hedge fund billionaire James Simons added an identical amount, according to new Federal Election Commission filings. The duo was the largest donors to the committee last month, which is now entering the home stretch of the midterm elections with nearly $73 million cash on hand.
The new Soros cash also brings his total to the Senate Majority PAC to $10 million for the 2022 elections, making him one of its largest contributors behind a dark money nonprofit affiliated with the PAC.
Liz Cheney, who sits on the Jan. 6th Committee, has made her political agenda clear from the beginning. Although an “investigation” is supposed to be a search for the truth, Liz Cheney made agonizingly clear many times that she didn’t need to wait for the results of the investigation. From the beginning her stated aim was “make sure that Trump never gets near the White House again.” Permanent Washington also made their aim clear. The Jan. 6th Committee “investigation” was for her, and many others, mere political theatre to achieve a predetermined political agenda.
Had Cheney been interested in the truth, she might have insisted that the committee seat the appropriate number and type of Republicans to cross-examine the prosecutorial witnesses. She did not do so. At every turn she interpreted any testimony in the worst way possible for Trump, e.g., she has recently stated that Trump, “commanded” a “heavily armed mob” to try to stop the counting of electoral votes. She and her Jan. 6th Committee have, however, given no evidence whatsoever that Trump “commanded” an armed mob to use violence to stop the counting of electoral votes. Her very strong statement requires that she prove both causality and intent. However, the committee has only demonstrated a degree (even that not clear) of correlation between Trump’s remarks and the riot, namely, that Trump made some remarks and some people went to the Capitol and rioted. The committee has not proved that Trump’s remarks caused the mob to riot at the Capitol or that Trump intended that his remarks cause the mob to riot at the Capitol. Demonstrating causality or intent is never easy in social situations: “Since intent is a mental state. it is one of the most difficult things to prove.” It is certainly not easy given the very murky events surrounding Jan. 6th, events that the committee in their “Star Chamber” has conspired to keep murky. For Liz Cheney, however, everything about Jan. 6th is as clear to her as her seething hatred of Donald Trump.
But Thomas Sowell, in The Vision of the Anointed, reckons that today’s society consists of the Anointed, the Benighted, and the Mascots. He’s right. Our liberal friends and their pals at the FBI are the Anointed. Trump voters are the Benighted, and all the scheduled classes of victims are the special Mascots of the ruling class, displayed in appropriate trophy cabinets in every Anointed home.
Unlike Garland and Wray, Trump and his Republican allies were elected by the people. It is a peculiar democracy indeed in which agents of the state can break into the home of the opposition leader without controversy. But Democrats fancy themselves enlightened “antiracists,” which they imagine gives them exclusive rights of control over the state in Our Democracy™.
The righteousness of the Left is a thing to behold. Consider Michael Hayden, a former CIA director who endorsed executing Trump over innuendo about “nuclear weapons” and the Espionage Act. Hayden, as it happens, also believes that the Trump movement is a terrorist threat worse than al-Qaeda. Go figure.
Hayden is not alone. After January 6, 2021, former CIA head John Brennan, another career spy suffering from Trump-induced derangement, gave his own take on Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables”: the Trump movement is an “insurgency” and “unholy alliance” of “religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians,” he said.
What do you do with insurgencies? Why, you crush them, of course.
I subscribe to Fisted By Foucault, the Substack of the right-wing writer and controversialist Niccolo Soldo. Since the advent of monkeypox, Soldo has been revisiting, in a newsletter series, the advent of AIDS, and the culture of gay male promiscuity that produced it. Soldo liberally quotes from official public health sources and the memoirs of gay writers who were present in the 1970s when many gay men gave themselves over to extreme promiscuity and radical sexual practices. He focuses in part on people like gay physicians who were terrified by the fact that so many gay men’s bodies were becoming petri dishes, as well as on people like the gay activist Larry Kramer and the gay journalist Randy Shilts, who were early alarmists about the new “gay cancer,” and whose warnings were quite unpopular. In today’s issue, Soldo writes:
All animal species have a natural instinct for self-preservation thanks to evolution. Those that never developed this mechanism to a sufficient extinct died out a long, long time ago. It is a vital function that keeps us alive.
Despite humans creating civilizations that worked to diminish some of the rougher and more dangerous aspects of nature, this instinct remains strong in our constitutions for the simple fact that societies are fragile, and threats to our lives can appear immediately. How we choose to assess and then mitigate these threats depends not only on how our societies are organized and what resources we have access to, but also how we personally assess these threats. This will often come down to personality traits that are inherent or are developed over time due to environmental factors and/or personal experiences. Some types select social conformity, others will choose gun ownership, and so on. The examples are endless.
One type of personality known to us all is the ‘Alarmist’. This person will warn others in advance of a threat that they see coming, often exaggerating the actual threat for desired effect. We all know this type, as it has saturated our minds in the age of instantaneous communication and clickbait journalism. A problem with the Alarmist is that they can often be wrong, leading to a “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” reaction from the targeted audience. Excessive alarmism negatively impacts credibility. But for those of you who have been paying attention this past decade, these alarmists actually have a pretty good track record. This is why it pays to not completely discount the paranoid rantings of the ‘internet schizophrenic’.
Larry Kramer (whom we have met earlier in this series) was one of those alarmists. Something in his gut was telling him that the hyper-charged sexual activity of gay men in the 1970s posed an existential risk. He had no way of knowing that the HIV virus was already making its way through the gay community (and IV drug users as well), but he could sense the danger. His 1978 novel “Faggots” sounded the alarm, and Kramer became persona non grata on Fire Island because of it, as he was seen as spoiling the party.
Some people will react early, others will react too late. Some people will overreact, others will choose to put personal interests above those of the affected community as a whole. Others still will place politics as the primary lens through which to perceive the threat and react to it, pushing down actual public health concerns. Still others will deny that something is happening, with even more others seeing conspiracies unfolding before their eyes. All of the above took place with regards to those first years of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
I understood the secrets and suffering that led her to create an alter ego. Only a survivor of childhood abuse can comprehend the need to find a way to survive the violent physical attack an innocent child suffers from familial abuse. Fantasy worlds and alter egos are common methods used by young victims to live through it. According to an interview in 2001 on ABC, “Heche stated that she created a fantasy world called the ‘Fourth Dimension’ to make herself feel safe and had an alter ego who was the daughter of God and half-sister of Jesus Christ named Celestia.” It was a form of self-protection to hide her shame and suffering.
Her battle was to survive and live beyond her childhood trauma and the haunting memories. Sadly, Heche could never escape them. Her tragedy was that she could not beat the devil. She could not obliterate the horror she suffered as a child. She could not overcome the mental scars of that brutality and did not achieve healing or freedom to live authentically as herself: Anne Heche.

Yelp is adding a prominent consumer notice to crisis pregnancy center listings to more clearly distinguish them from clinics that provide abortion services, in a policy change shared first with Axios.
The big picture: Yelp’s move is the latest tech-company response to a post-Roe world in which abortion information has become a significant online battleground, with both sides of the debate applying intense pressure.
Driving the news: Starting today, Yelp will add a consumer notice to both faith-based and non-faith-based crisis pregnancy centers noting that they “provide limited medical services and may not have licensed medical professionals onsite.
“It’s the latest in a series of moved Yelp has made since 2018, when CEO Jeremy Stoppelman directed the company to make sure crisis pregnancy centers were differentiated from abortion clinics in the company’s listings.
All because crisis pregnancy centers give women options and help to have and keep their children.

Highly imperfect and in many cases horrific decisions – parents of small children forced to wear masks or who have suffered both socially, emotionally – including educationally – should demand Congressional hearings and full investigations – no excuses 👇 https://t.co/tFEsy9ePu1
Universities have gotten obscenely richer while Americans have gotten depressingly poorer. But instead of asking financially turgid universities to reduce tuition, an already collapsing middle class is being sucked hollow and pushed to the brink of extinction.
They attached themselves to the frame. The cherubim are perfectly safe.

Obama had 33 MILLION of such documents. Never returned them or digitized them as promised. Hillary Clinton destroyed classified docs undet Congressiona subpoena. The NYT doesn’t even know exactly what is in Trump’s 15-20 boxes of docs.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)
And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
Just ’cause I’m in the mood.
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.
Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
9Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed; 13on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another, as well as Gil, RDS, Bakocarl, Nora, Cthulhu (who is getting prayers whether it’s life threatening or not) and any others facing serious health issues right now..
We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
The modern Narcissus known as Anthony Fauci announces his departure:
STATEMENT – “I am announcing today that I will be stepping down from the positions of Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, as well as the position of Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden. I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career.” (more)
I’d say, buh-bye, but it seems that he might not be out of our hair and ready for prosecution just yet:
Has Fauci’s presence become a liability to the Biden administration and the Democrats generally? Perhaps but there is also the issue of book royalties that await him once leaving his post with government. The New York Times explains: “While he has been working on a memoir, Dr. Fauci said he did not yet have a publisher. In an interview last year, he said he was precluded from contracting with a publisher while he was still employed by the government.”
Both factors could explain the decision. He will wait for his final departure until after the November election.
More fire starters for the book publishers to launder cash.
Dr. Fauci operated in the shadows for most of his 38 years as the Director of NIAID. But once COVID was released, President Trump put him front and center for the whole world to see just how corrupt he & our infectious disease institutions were.
We experienced firsthand that the taxpayer-funded institutions that were supposed to be protecting the public, are in fact actively working to harm us via bioweapons & dangerous vaccinations.
We have President Trump to thank for exposing all of this.
Former President Donald Trump filed a motion Monday demanding federal investigators stop going through material seized from his Mar-a-Lago mansion earlier this month until a neutralspecial master could be appointed to review the records.
The 27-page filing in Florida federal court also asked for the federal government to provide more detail about what was seized in the Aug. 8 raid on the 45th president’s Palm Beach estate and demanded the Justice Department return any item not covered by the search warrant.
“We are now demanding that the Department of ‘Justice’ be instructed to immediately STOP the review of documents illegally seized from my home. ALL documents have been previously declassified,” Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social platform soon after the motion was filed.
The former president went on to call the FBI’s raid an “unnecessary, unwarranted, and unAmerican break-in” that violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The filing, which is the first by Trump’s side since the raid, suggests the FBI search was politically motivated – calling it a “shockingly aggressive move” that was undertaken with “no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans.”
If we accept or acknowledge the RNC and DNC are private corporations, existing like all other corporations to the fulfilment of their for-profit charter, to make money; and
If we accept or acknowledge their business model is structured around people and businesses giving them money; and
If we accept or acknowledge that in the process of raising money their interests may or may not align with the goal of those contributing to the business; and
If we accept the history that Mitch McConnell and the RNC worked purposefully to remove the influence of the Tea Party; then
This factually accurate statement from Steve Deace takes on a new meaning:
[…] “the GOP (club) would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the [club] to it’s base.” Electability boils down to the right kind of approved candidate.
That is an accurate context for this midterm election cycle. Factually, the income stream for the RNC improves if they have the ability to campaign against the opposition club. The larger the outrage, the more substantial the fundraising. The corporation makes more money in defeat, or in the minority, than it does when it wins or holds majorities.
Republicans don’t care. They’re complaining about Biden’s spending, bemoaning government overreach, and sanctioning Putin. Those issues aren’t going to return the GOP to power, but Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel seem sanguine. Their lives don’t change if the GOP doesn’t take back Congress. They’ll still rule their little fiefdoms, still be invited to Georgetown cocktail parties to be feted by lobbyists and, of course, they’ll still be on Sunday morning shows to feign outrage for the latest Democrat policy.
For these grifters, the only difference between winning and losing in November is having to work for the American people…something they’re loathe to do.
Ms. Cheney has transferred the remaining $7 million from her leadership PAC, mostly provided by democrat donor activists and Wall Street allies, into a new Political Action Committee created to attack undesirable republican politicians and benefit Democrats.
American dynasty names are familiar – Kennedy, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Clinton – just to name a few. These families believe they are entitled to power and wealth simply by virtue of their last names. Political office is their right, regardless of what they do with this power, and they band together in opposition to any challenge to this power.
Despite being of different political parties, they are actually far more similar than different. It is like a group of country club kids creating two baseball or basketball teams, one wearing red shirts, the other blue shirts, but at the end of the game, the shirts come off and the kids all have a fine dinner at the club, then return to their mansions along the golf course, often next door to each other.
This entitled class is known as the ruling class, the establishment, or the elites. It is like the country club where you can’t enjoy the perks of membership without an invitation from existing members….
But before he entered politics, Trump was most certainly in the club, a darling of American elites, posing for photographs with presidents, celebrities, and athletes. He hosted a wildly popular television reality show and was a frequent guest of Oprah and other liberal club members.
When he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015 announcing his improbable candidacy for the presidency, his club membership was put on probation. At first the elites thought his candidacy a novelty, a joke on America, a scheme to sell books or promote his celebrity and television endeavors.
However, for some reason, some always work to mystify and muck up the political spectrum issue. They constantly exploit language to hide factual reality. Why would they do this? Do they gain some advantage over society by muddying the waters?
Militias composed of volunteers, represent and make effective the spontaneous order arising from free citizens. Standing armies directed by monarchs or other powerful executives, by contrast, make real and all too imposing the kind of top-down, coercive order imposed by oligarchies and tyrants.
It’s for this reason that so many of our Founding fathers were suspicious of standing armies, and initially reluctant to found one. They had seen that state militias played a crucial role in the French and Indian War. George Washington himself had led Virginia militiamen who held together and saved the British retreat after the catastrophic defeat of army regulars at the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755. His heroic actions that day helped make him famous, and launch him in politics.
A new study by the Populace organization revealed the obvious: that Americans are “self-silencing” — people saying what they think others want to hear rather than what they truly feel.
People often reshape their privately held views to conform to what they think their group believes, despite that assessment frequently being inaccurate. This causes the illusion of consensus.
The following are two of the most significant revelations from the study:
Four times as many Democrats say Corporate CEOs should take a public stand on social issues (44%) than actually care (11%).
On Education, one in three Democrats think parents should have more influence over public school curriculum, however, only one in four dares to say it publicly.
A former White House adviser, Stephen Miller, accused the Biden administration of turning the United States into the “world’s epicenter” of child trafficking due to the administration’s border policies.
“These astronomical numbers defy any historical comparison. So overwhelmingly are the prior records exceeded that there is no reference point. Biden, with the unflinching aid of 50 Senate Democrats, is running the largest child smuggling operation our world has ever seen,” Miller wrote on Twitter over the weekend in response to a report finding that some 250,000 children crossed the border and were sent to “sponsors” since President Joe Biden entered office last year.
Miller, who was one of the Trump administration’s architects and currently heads the America First Legal group, added in a separate interview that the policy is creating “the largest child smuggling epidemic in human history.”
“It has enriched virtually every major child smuggler in the hemisphere and far beyond. It has filled the ranks of MS-13. It has created a monstrous industry of vast global reach,” he told the Washington Examiner on Monday. “And it has made America’s border into the world’s epicenter of labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and modern-day slavery.”
Licht discovered, to his horror, that the network was massively dependent on Donald Trump for ratings. Without Trump to headline CNN’s news coverage, no one was very much interested in the biased commentary and left-wing slant to the news that became CNN’s hallmark.
CNN’s profits are expected to fall below $1 billion for the first time in many years. And its prime-time coverage is drawing less than 700,000 viewers a night. Clearly, Licht had to do something.
Friday morning, Licht convened a virtual editorial meeting to discuss some of the changes he wants to make at the network.
“I want to acknowledge that this is a time of significant change, and I know that many of you are unsettled,” Licht said, according to the Hollywood Reporter, who quoted multiple people on the call. “There will be more changes, and you might not understand it or like it.”
Since leaving office, the former ambassador has refused paid board positions because of his expectation that they would “limit [his] ability to speak on the issues,” but has accepted positions at a number of advocacy groups; he is the chair of the Center for American Trade at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), board member at Oren Cass’s American Compass, and advisor at Mike Pence’s Advancing American Freedom. On the week of our interview, he sat for a panel at AFPI’s summit and offered a keynote at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s American Economic Forum. He continues to write editorials for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and is working on a book that will combine elements of policy prescription and memoir.
Simply put, Lighthizer is using his time in relative retirement “building up that consensus, lobbying through these institutions, [and] meeting with people.” His record proves that he’s good at building consensus, lobbying, and meeting.
People with ZERO talent long had no options for expressing themselves, and since most of them were democRATs they finally used their Borg hive mind to come up with a scheme to steal the work of others (usually a book) and after changing it to suit their world view (communism) pass it off as the original work in a movie or on TV then gaslight so few people notice. This has nothing to do with black vs white, and everything to do with leftists intentionally ruining things they did not create AND also it only ever going in one direction on the race swapping. Black people are just (usually) their weapon of choice and one has to wonder why they insult non-whites with personalized knockoffs of white culture anyway and why that is readily accepted.
Which brings us to the upcoming Amazon streaming series ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’[SIC] a prequel which has little to do with LotR and they know it. “It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like” said one asshat (Lindsey Weber) involved in this crapfest. The only problem is Tolkien (a white British male philologist; expert on and inventor of languages) described HIS world, and you want to set the story in YOUR world.
Messing with the classics is a big no-no.

By now, I have learned to keep my reactions pretty close to my chest. There is such a thing as reacting too soon before more information is released, and it’s easy to make assumptions if you don’t see the whole picture. There’s power in observation.
10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.” 11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; 12let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy 13before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.
MATTHEW 23:23-26
23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! 25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of extortion and rapacity. 26You blind Pharisee! first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

The White Russian is a decadent and surprisingly easy-to-make cocktail. Combining vodka, Kahlúa and cream and serving it on the rocks creates a delicious alternative to adult milkshakes.
And my brother the Couch Commando drinks them all winter long.
Ingredients
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce Kahlúa
1 splash heavy cream
Steps
Add the vodka and Kahlúa to a rocks glass filled with ice.
Top with the heavy cream and stir.
Today’s cocktail had to contain vodka in honor of Mr. Potatohead getting $#!+canned off of CNN:
Western governments’, specifically western Europe, North America (U.S-Canada) and Australia/New Zealand, are intentionally trying to lower economic activity to meet the intentional drop in energy production.
This is the core consequence of the Build Back Better agenda as promoted by the World Economic Forum.
Anyone who says there is a reference point to determine both the short-term and long-term consequences is lying. There is no precedent for nations’ collectively and intentionally trying to reduce economic activity.
Hiding behind the false justification that current inflation is driven by too much demand, central banks in Europe, the Bank of England, Bank of Canada and U.S. federal reserve are raising interest rates. The outcome we are currently feeling is an intentional economic contraction and global recession.
“The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”
The mainstream media, which is a mouthpiece for the Democrats, carried this news with glee, claiming that Ingraham was turning on Trump.
This is the sort of news that the Democrats dream of – a prominent conservative commentator claiming that people are sick of Trump. The hope is that someday everyone abandons Trump.
Congresswoman Jackie Walorski had sponsored the “Human Trafficking prevention and recovery act of 2014” and was working with ongoing investigations into trafficking.
Anne Heche was set to release a new movie “Girl in Room 13” that went into sex slavery and trafficking and was a mouthpiece against it in P-Wood.
What do Jackie and Anne have in common with Chester Bennington, Halyna Hutchins, Anthony Bourdain?
This all goes deeper than we’d like to imagine: Intel agencies, elites, politicians.

34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad’ducees, they came together. 35And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. 36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38This is the great and first commandment. 39And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
“In coming weeks, Liz will be launching an organization to educate the American people about the ongoing threat to our Republic, and to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler told Politico.
Cheney will use the group as her primary political outreach organization as she debates whether to run for president in 2024.
The left-wing MSM are in full cope today, mourning the loss, fawning over Cheney as if she were some legendary war hero. I shit you not Joe Scarborough compared her to Ulysses Grant in the Civil War. They are even suggesting that this loss will lead to her 2024 Presidential Campaign to unseat Trump… when she just lost her own State primary by 37 points to a Trump-endorsed candidate… LMAOOOOO!
But sometimes an event occurs that is so significant that it defies the excesses of commercialized political exaggeration. The raid on Mar-a-Lago was such an event. With this disgraceful stunt, the FBI has in effect openly acknowledged that it is little more than a political police force willingly placed in the service of the Democratic Party with its most prominent, public-facing role being to shelter and protect the Democratic Party’s own well-connected and highly-placed criminals while criminalizing and persecuting its political opponents, right down to falsely framing and entrapping them when necessary. If it isn’t eventually dismantled entirely, perhaps the FBI should be renamed the FBCF — Federal Bureau of Custom Framing.
The FBI has lost the public trust and is undeserving of the benefit of the doubt. Its partisan alignments are obvious. The FBI has proven incapable of taking any interest in the innumerable crimes of Antifa and BLM, yet simply cannot refrain from issuing dire warnings against unruly parents who dare to oppose mandated racist indoctrination at school board meetings. The FBI simply cannot be bothered to address the ongoing organized intimidation of Supreme Court justices by leftist thugs, yet shows no hesitation in branding patriotic imagery as a sign of probable alignment with domestic terrorism. The next time our intelligence services are caught with their pants down — the next time we are hit with a 9/11-style attack from an unexpected quarter, perhaps the FBI will seek to save face and solicit public appreciation by reminding us that not a single January 6th trespasser evaded its grasp.
What makes all this so obscene is not just the spiteful gratuitousness of the Mar-a-Lago raid, but the deeper betrayal of the American experiment such made-for-television partisan stunts represent. Of course, to impugn the FBI is somewhat like condemning the misbehaving dog while failing to notice the guiding hand a little further up the leash. There are ample grounds to suspect the Democrat party’s latest abuse of power is no mere episode of run-of-the-mill political viciousness, but represents something far darker. The Left’s embrace of vulgarized postmodern doctrines that effectively reduce absolutely everything in life — including culture and politics — to the mere exercise of brute force is, undeniably, a standing warrant for the abuse of power. To the extent that the Democratic Party dedicates itself to the tenets of postmodern fascism, it commits itself on principal to the abuse of power as its sole guiding standard of political practice.
First, Marx is the author of the modern cancel culture and second, he should probably be the victim of it — but won’t be.
In 1848, long before computers, Marx wrote that, in normal society, the past dominates the present, but in Communist society, the present had to dominate the past. This means that history can only be seen and interpreted through the prism of Marxist theory. Anything incompatible with the latest Marxist positions wouldl necessarily be altered to fit or eliminated (AKA Cancelled).
This is necessary because Marxists have to control the “facts” and the narrative to fit their manufactured reality. No competing messages or facts can be allowed. This was the actual beginning of the cancel culture.
Earlier this summer, the CO2 Coalition was banished from LinkedIn. The CO2 Coalition, with only three full-time employees and an annual budget of under $1 million, had committed the unpardonable sin of sharing contrarian perspectives on climate science. Its work, produced by a network of volunteers that includes dozens of distinguished scientists, offers indispensable balance on a topic that requires honest debate now more than ever.
Among the many comments that followed LinkedIn’s decision, the mentality of the climate crisis mob came through loud and clear. If “the science is settled,” then any contrary perspective is dangerous and must be silenced. A typical comment: “Why does LinkedIn allow so much Climate Disinformation to persist throughout its platform?” Brigades of these content wardens continuously log complaints with LinkedIn against climate skeptics. The impeccable work of Bjorn Lomborg is one of their next targets.
This is not the environmentalism of previous generations, and this new zealotry does not negate or diminish the common sense concern for the environment that most reasonable people share. But this new breed of intolerant, fanatical environmentalism, manifested in the movement to avert a “climate crisis,” is perhaps the most virulent and dangerous expression of fascism in America today. If left unchecked, this fascistic climate change movement will destroy freedom and prosperity while it destroys the planet it purportedly wants to save.
1) John D. Rockefeller (1839 – 1937), who by the turn of the 20th century controlled 90 percent of all oil refineries in the United States, and how the discovery of “petrochemicals,” and other similar discoveries led to the monopolization of the chemical and medical industries in the same way the Rockefellers monopolized the oil industry, giving birth to the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
2) The concerted action taken to destroy the reputations of doctors, scientists, hospitals and colleges that did not bow to Rockefeller’s pressure to disavow natural cures and embrace synthetic products.
3) The millions of dollars in grants the Rockerfellers gave to hospitals and colleges and the founding of the “General Education Board” (GEB), and its underlying purpose to homogenize the system (beneath its positive creed of battling racism and sexism) so that alternative thought was criminalized.

As someone who regularly says the rosary with my extended family each night via Zoom, and follows rosary news on Twitter, all I can say is that I’ve never seen any juxtaposition of guns and rosaries of this sort.
And perhaps, neither has The Atlantic’s writer. I clicked through all of his links looking for this odd “styling” of guns and rosaries and there was … nothing.
Cornyn’s approval ratings currently stand at a dismal 36 percent among Texas Republicans. His popularity will not be helped by his praise of Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), recently telling the New York Times, “I respect her.”
One area of betrayal conservatives have overlooked so far, however, is Cornyn’s cozy relationship with Big Tech. In 2019, as conservatives were beginning to fight back against Silicon Valley censorship, he opined, “The discussion of breaking up a Google or breaking up a Facebook is not what we should be doing.” The Texas senator pressured Trump to appoint former staffer Noah Phillips to the FTC, where he denied the commission had any authority to address Big Tech censorship. In July 2020, when even moderate Republicans were waking up to Big Tech’s bias, he promoted puff pieces on Google.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.
All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.
Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights
No running with scissors
If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon
Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
1And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son, 3and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. 4Again he sent other servants, saying, `Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.’ 5But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants, `The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.’ 10And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; 12and he said to him, `Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, `Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.’ 14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The working class is what keeps all the shit working. We are the binding within the patchwork quilt of our constitutional republic.
The working class that had been beaten, put down, isolated, disconnected from policy, ridiculed for not having pedigree, all of it, became United in MAGA.
It’s a massive political tent. The biggest political coalition in the history of American politics.
Candidate Trump introduced the professional GOPe to economic nationalism. They, perhaps you, hated him for it.
President Trump then initiated economic nationalism.
The MAGA working class immediately felt the benefits of economic nationalism.
This is what unifies the MAGA base and attaches to President Donald Trump.
This is what both wings of the professional political class just do not understand, and even more dislike.
For those following me, you knew this was coming. This confirms our narrative that Trump is the one advocating for transparency, and that the Deep State are looking to hide and deceive.
I can guarantee you, if they found something, we would have heard about it. The fact that they do not want the public to see the “probable cause”, indicates that they didn’t find what they were looking for in order to justify this raid. If they had a legitimate cause, they would release it, because it would help fuel their narrative and public image, which has gone completely off the rails.
Instead, the enemy use powerful and misleading language to suggest that Trump is a threat to national security, and will attempt to use this as a media narrative before the midterms. If he was actually a criminal, the FBI would have leaked it to the press the moment they had something. To me, this proves they have nothing and this was all political theatre. Political theatre that has mysteriously only benefitted Trump immensely.
Just one person’s opinion. Most of red America finds no mystery in the benefits to President Trump. He was wronged.
WOW! Thousands of patriots showing their support for President Trump on Long Island.
Exciting times. A dangerous but exhilarating moment in history to be alive. The ground beneath us quakes, and everything once held certain seems turned to mush. Whatever we grasp for balance proves unsteady, too. The world is crashing down, it seems, and no countervailing force exists to keep everything in place.
When we accept this reality, when we look around and say, “Hey, what was will never be again,” then the troubles around us become a little lighter to bear. We are not here to fight for yesterday; we are here to fight for tomorrow. Yesterday gives us guidance; tomorrow gives us purpose. Yet just because we fight for tomorrow does not mean we aren’t also fighting for today. When you learn to punch, you’re taught to aim beyond your target. You punch through what you mean to hit to maximize force and minimize pain to yourself. In the same way, we aim for the future in order to seize today. We picture together what type of future we want. We strive for that future with ferocity and perseverance. And one day we look around and realize that we’ve managed to build a remarkable world right here in the present. Nothing endures in this earthly existence but that cycle. It’s what we do when challenges arise that matters. Those acts, fleeting though they may be, are our shared legacy to one another.
So look at the international communists’ “Great Reset” or “Build Back Better” dystopias as inevitable if you want, but do so knowing that you’re watching strikes being thrown into the catcher’s mitt without ever swinging. Your mind and soul provide a powerful bat. Our enemies are throwing heat right down the center of the plate. And there has never been a better time to swing for the fences!
It’s true. The vast majority of Republican lawmakers in DC, especially those who are running for reelection, have taken the safest possible road. They are acting as if this nation is in good enough shape that if we wait for the midterms, everything can be made whole. This is far from the case. One can even argue that they haven’t put up much of a fight against, well, anything because they hope the Democrats get their legislative wishes. That way, Americans can see just how bad their policies really are.
It’s a decent election strategy in normal times, but the current state of the nation is nowhere near normal. We needed them fighting when the 2020 election was stolen. We needed them fighting the very day Joe Biden was installed into the White House. We’ve needed them to continue fighting tooth-and-nail ever since. Instead, they whine about things while helping Democrats pass the expensive yet worthless infrastructure bill. They talk about conservatism while many helped pass gun control.
Another 199,976 economic migrants arrived at the southern border in July, ensuring President Joe Biden’s 2022 migration exceeds the total 2021 numbers, even though August and September numbers have yet to be added.
More busses should be arriving in Washington any time now.
Reading all the professional political chatter from both wings of the uniparty bird about the DOJ position on the Trump raid in Mar-a-Lago, something sticks out to me that readers here will relate to, but others, likely not so much. Consider this written to all the reasonable and intellectually honest people.
You see, there is an actual mechanism that is being ignored by members within the professional DC silos and the DC ‘outrage’ stenographers. I was reminded of it when reading the professional obfuscation in the Wall Street Journal as they outlined how Merrick Garland “weighed the raid on Mar-a-Lago for several weeks” prior to August 8.
Technically there is a mechanism for executive branch conflict resolution that involves actual transparency, not the political talking points of the illusion of transparency. However, when the Fourth Branch of Government was created, the conflict resolution measure that provides oversight and escape from accusations of unequal application of law was dispatched. It was dispatched because, well, the unequal application of the law was the intent.
What I am talking about is the legislative branch oversight mechanism known as the Gang-of-Eight. Whenever the executive branch runs into a conflict that involves sensitivity within an issue they define as “national security,” the executive branch is supposed to use the tool of the legislative branch to extricate themselves from the conflict.
Quite simply the DOJ/FBI could have briefed the Go8 on the nature of the sensitive ‘national security’ issue, and this bipartisan briefing to both democrats and republicans removes Main Justice from the appearance of political impropriety. If, later on, the nature of their investigation is ever questioned, Main Justice (the representatives of the executive branch) have the shield of telling the American public that congress was notified.
The fact that 200,000/700,000 ballots were deemed inadmissible in the LA recall of Gascon should be the biggest story in the country. I cannot even fathom the amount of fraud in 2020, which was the “most secure election” in history according to your “very credible” government

The left has just invented the term "stochastic terrorism" to describe any criticism of anything they do or say. You are not merely guilty of hate speech for disagreeing with them. You are now a literal terrorist.
(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)
And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. 5Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?’ 7They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.’ 8And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16So the last will be first, and the first last.”
This is the psalm today. So many settings.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another, as well as Gil, RDS, Bakocarl, Nora, Cthulhu (who is getting prayers whether it’s life threatening or not) and any others facing serious health issues right now..
We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
