DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220421

Let’s see…what do we have for today….

TheStormHasArrived17Forwarded from Pepe Lives Matter 🐸 (Pepe Lives Matter)My current thoughts:
Q wakes up a subset of people. They learn to rely on each other and expose the lies, search for truth. They learn the meaning of WWG1WGA.
Trump must be visibly out of office for the fall of the central banks. Putin waits and attacks Ukraine (possibly stopping bioweapon number 2) at the right time. He takes away their DS hub. They try to eliminate Putin’s economy. He backed his money in gold. The US is Epsteining itself. The federal reserve and the central banks must fall or humanity will never be free. Putin started a domino.
Now Xi shuts down his country under the guise of covid but in reality he’s shutting down the supply chain. They are imploding the entire system and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. The precipice will be felt. The entire system will be brought down in Biblical fashion. Wealth transfer happens in spades. The cabal loses their finances to God’s people.
Trump can come back at the opportune time and present new systems and an awakened world will be ready to move forward without the cabal.

And of course, this:

Elon Musk Takes Aim At ‘Woke’ And ‘Unwatchable’ Netflix

Billionaire Elon Musk is not making any friends from the progressive faction on social media ever since he made an offer to purchase Twitter, but now he has taken aim at them again.

Between January and March Netflix lost around 200,000 subscribers it said in its quarterly report yesterday which caused the stock to fall 25 percent, and Musk believes that it is because the service is “unwatchable” because of wokeness.

“The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable,” he said in response to a report from Slashdot.

LUKE 24:35-48

35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. 36As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them. 37But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 41And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate before them. 44Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things.

From Clandestine’s Newsletter:

I’m very glad I conducted this experiment. I was able to gather an overall understanding of how people define these words we use so often. And my hypothesis was correct, and that’s is, collectively, we do not posses the same exact definition(s). However, I think we all have a somewhat similar understanding.

Let me clarify what I as an individual mean when I use these terms, and I think this will help many to better comprehend my analysis.

Some use these terms separately, suggesting there is a spectrum of “asleepness”, which I certainly agree there is a spectrum. It’s not black and white as to who is awake and who is asleep. There is lots of gray. However, I view both “normie” and “sheep” synonymously and use them interchangeably. My personal Definition:

-“Mainstream Media-dependent, brainwashed individuals, lacking any original or critical thought. Victims of mass psychological manipulation via state-controlled media.”

The reason the word “normie” is used to describe these people is because for decades the societal norm was you believed what the newspapers said, you believed the man on the TV, and blindly went along with all of the prescribed narratives because that’s just what everyone else did. The truth came from the TV and that’s how it worked. Social media ruined that, and the societal norms for how people consumed news changed DRASTICALLY with the introduction of the Internet followed by social media, which led to a mass variety of viewpoints and alternative narratives. As opposed to the past where the entire messaging for a nation came from 2-3 news channels and a handful of newspaper companies. “Normies” are victims of outdated societal norms, which sadly includes being heavily brainwashed for political purposes by MSM.

The reason the word “sheep” is used to describe these people is because sheep are a species who, instinctually, blindly follow the herd and are incredibly easy to manipulate. Complacent inside their prison so long as they have food and protection.

Notice how amongst this thread I have yet to mention left or right? That’s because there are normies/sheep on both sides of the aisle. Anyone who blindly gets their opinions from the TV, you’re a sheep as far as I’m concerned. Left or Right. So when people in my comments screech “normies don’t watch Fox and Friends! NoBoDy iZ WaKiNG uP!” You’re simply wrong. Millions upon millions are dependent on the TV to confirm things for them. Even if they think something they saw on social media might be true, they don’t accept it as fact until the TV says so.

Another point I wanted to address, that many claim “sheep are asleep and will always be asleep”. And I vehemently disagree. Yes there will be around 4-6% who are permanently brainwashed and may never recover, but every last one of us was a sheep at some point and we woke up at separate times. Nobody popped out of the womb red pilled and totally aware. Just because some people are taking longer than you did, doesn’t mean they are a lost cause. We have to undo decades of high level psychological manipulation and brainwashing. It’s incredibly difficult and time consuming. And don’t forget we have progressed so much from 2016, but many don’t notice it since it’s been slow and methodical. A controlled normalization as opposed to shock and awe.

And let me be clear, none of these people are a “lost cause”, yet. They have been psychologically manipulated. Their brains drilled with lies from sources and people they have been conditioned to trust since birth, warping their sense of reality. It’s not their fault. They should not have to suffer because nefarious entities manipulated them their entire lives.

The overwhelming majority of these people are good, intelligent, kind, loving, and want a better future for all of us, but they are quite literally brainwashed and are not thinking on their own. And I care about many of them, even if I find their ignorance annoying.

Elon Musk’s Bid Reveals Twitter Is The Poison Pill To Be Cured

MONDAY, APR 18, 2022 – 05:30 AM

Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, ‘n Guns blog,

I’ve given Elon Musk a lot of grief in the past over how he’s run Tesla Motors. Suffice it to say I’m not a fan. Deep down I’m supremely distrustful of Musk because he is, at best, a mercurial figure who is difficult to read.

He’s become the richest dude in the world partnering with governments to build some of the biggest hype machines in history. So, his offer to buy all of Twitter and take it private can cynically be seen as just another moment of ego from the 21st century’s best reincarnation of P.T. Barnum.

That said, however, strange things happen, when you acquire the kind of Fuck You Money that Musk has.

And it seems to me if you connect some dots that Musk has been planning this move for a while. Last year he came out in favor of Bitcoin. Then he took a memecoin, DOGE, and turned it into the crypto ‘flavor of the month.’

Musk’s ego is something to remain skeptical of, but it’s also hard not to respect a guy who is completely free at this point, or least free enough that he has zero fucks left to give to the regime that made him what he is.

So, when he cashed out a massive amount of money from Tesla at the peak recently it looked to me that he was getting ready to go from Elon Musk Reality TV star to the Real Elon Musk.

Most people, especially clueless bitches like Elizabeth Warren, don’t understand that most rich people are asset rich, but cash poor. Jeff Bezos may have billions of Amazon stock, but he really can’t sell a lot of it without giving a vote of no-confidence to the company itself.

It runs counter to his fiduciary interest as a board member. This isn’t to say Bezos doesn’t have money. He does, but he also doesn’t have nearly the amount of money you think he has.

So, Musk, freed from Tesla’s financial, shall we say creativity, now has real Fuck You Money. Not stock. Not assets. Cash.

And that cash he’s putting on the line today to force the moment of Twitter’s malfeasance as a public entity to its crisis point.

He has succeeded brilliantly.

He doesn’t even need to actually take control of Twitter. He’s already won.

By forcing Twitter’s board, who doesn’t own any shares in the company, to adopt a Poison Pill strategy, Musk has revealed them to be more interested in maintaining Twitter as a social control response engine rather than as a public company with a responsibility to shareholders.

And the world thanks you.

The announcement of the lifting of the mandate inspired a wide range of responses.

ACTS 3:1-10

1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. 4And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, “Look at us.” 5And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

LUKE 24:13-35

13That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma’us, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And he said to them, “What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cle’opas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning 23and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see.” 25And he said to them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, 29but they constrained him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. 31And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?” 33And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, 34who said, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

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.

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.

Okay, starting with something meaty.

⚔️AbsoluteConviction1776⚔️🇺🇸 (🇺🇸⚔️Absolute1776⚔️🇺🇸)

No one told us this was gonna be easy.

Not Q. Not President Trump. Not General Flynn. Not me, and not a single credible Anon ran around telling anybody this was gonna be easy – or fast.

As a matter of fact – President Trump told us straight up. He said, and I quote – “I am a war time President”.

Well …. Let’s ponder on that for a moment.

*looks at American War Involvement from 2016-2020*

Funny. I didn’t see any wars being fought by the United States Military in the way of which we’ve become so accustomed in that time frame.

So I need you to ask yourself – what, exactly, was he referring to?

Allow me to answer this for you – He was referring to taking down the cabal. You see – the war he is/was commanding is a new kind of war. It isn’t overt. It isn’t fought with boots on the ground. It has been fought for decades through backdoor deals, black ops, and infiltration of every single American institution. It is a war we’d still be unaware of if not for Q.

As Reagan feared – we have been rotted from the inside out.

So how do you fix the rot? The same way. From the inside out. You infiltrate [their] institutions. You play along with [them], you make friends with [them]. You spend so much time around [them], that knowing how [they] operate becomes second nature.

Game theory.

Think Trump’s association with the Clintons, or Epstein. Or Flynn’s association with certain unsavory characters. Infiltration goes both ways, frens.

The moment Trump turned on them at the Al Smith dinner, they knew they were done. The moment he stood in the lobby of the CIA and said he was dismantling the “5th Column”, they knew they had no way out.

And yesterday, when John Durham said “we have it all” – [they] had to face the grim reality that Q isn’t a larp. That Durham isn’t bullshitting around, and that Trump wasn’t lying when he said “we caught the swamp … we caught them all”.

It is slow. It is painful for all involved. I remind you that we were told “it had to be this way”. And I don’t know about you, but everyday that passes I see more and more waking up. I see more and more liberals ditching their support for Democrats and the far left.

People truly needed to be shown how deep the corruption and evil went. Simply telling them would have done no good at this point.

The Great Awakening is also The Great Unveiling.

We are all being forced to look in a mirror and adjust our perspective, priorities, and even our faith. We are all being made to feel fear at it’s most primal level – for that is when fight or flight kicks in, and I truly believe [they] are about to see that the majority of humans will in fact choose fight over flight.

And therein lies the purpose of the scare event being necessary. Because only legitimate fear awakens the warrior in every soul.

We all feel it. Even myself. If you say you aren’t a little afraid or worried at this point, you’re lying. It’s okay to be afraid, but make sure to let it pass. Don’t hold on to it. Don’t allow it to dictate the level of faith, hope, or love you contain.

You are a Light. A beacon. A child of God. We are all here to make manifest His glory and love. We are all here for a purpose. And that purpose is NOT to watch the world fall to Satanism. Our purpose is witness the dawn of an age of glory and peace.

Be not afraid. Christ has you.

Be not afraid. Glory lies ahead.

Be not afraid. Light surrounds you.

Be not afraid. Love surrounds you.

BE. NOT. AFRAID.

I ask a favor of all those who read this; Pray. Have faith. Be patient. And trust that God is going to see us through this.

In Jesus’ name I pray for peace/comfort and protection for all eyes reading this. For my Non-Christian friends, I extend the very same love and light to you as well.

Hang in there, frens. We’re all warriors, and God wins.

We’re all God’s children, and when ya think about it – when has He EVER failed you? The answer is never. And the proof is that you’re reading this right now.

God bless and Godspeed, Frens & Patriots.

The real war was not and is not going to be televised. Whatever we are seeing on the “news” is all distraction.

Looks like it finally happened.

Well….

But, nothing is happening.

Where do they come up with this stuff?

https://twitter.com/alliemarie777/status/1515655842300895238

Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

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.

Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

ACTS 2:36-41

36Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” 37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.” 40And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

DEAR MAGA: TGIF Open Thread 20220415

Here we are. Friday. In honor of the day, today’s libation is a Rusty Nail.

For decades, one of the hottest cocktails was the Rusty Nail. But after a good run, the simple combination of scotch and the scotch-based liqueur Drambuie, a word derived from Gaelic meaning “the drink that satisfies,” has fallen off most bar menus and is rarely ordered by patrons.

Just as mystifying as its disappearance was its appearance in the first place. The lineage of the potent after-dinner libation is contested, with many believing it was invented in 1937 for the British Industries Fair trade show. It does appear in the 1967 edition of “Old Mister Boston Official Bartender’s Guide,” the cocktail book of record through the post-Prohibition 20th century. (A similar drink, dubbed the Little Club #1, is included in Ted Saucier’s 1951 “Bottoms Up.”)

By the late 1960s, bars in New Orleans and New York were serving the concoction, and “Have you tried a Rusty Nail?” was a common refrain. The Rusty Nail is often credited to the clever bartenders at the 21 Club in Manhattan sometime in the early 1960s. It makes sense, being that the establishment created the famous B & B—half Bénédictine and half cognac—as well. It’s easy to imagine that the talented crew applied the same formula to another cordial and liquor, but I haven’t been able to substantiate that claim.

Lore has it that the Rat Pack was enamored with the drink, which may have been responsible for the wide appeal in those years. In the 1970s, I mixed many a Rusty Nail at the joints I worked at in New York. They were also a hit at P.J. Clarke’s, a favorite late-night haunt of Frank Sinatra.

As with lots of classics, the recipe varies widely. Ted Haigh, the author of “Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails,” likes two parts scotch to one part Drambuie; “Old Mister Boston” calls for a one-to-one ratio; and many modern versions are far drier, with some suggesting four parts whisky to one part liqueur. You could also substitute bourbon for scotch and get a Rusty Spike. But the Rusty Nail is a classic for a reason, and the two-to-one ratio will always be a fine example of the drink.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces scotch
  • 3/4 ounce Drambuie

Steps

  1. Add the scotch and Drambuie into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
  2. Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.

So simple even the Scots can make it. Of course, most of their food is based on a dare.

Okay, in case you haven’t heard, Elon Musk put out an offer to buy Twitter outright on Thursday. Dopey Prince Alaweed from Saudi Arabia turned him down, and the whole platform went nuts with the snowflakes melting as if the sun was shining on asphalt.

These are in no particular order as it is late, and I am pressed for time.

From Sundance:

What Elon Musk appears to be doing is perhaps the biggest story that few understand.

I share this perspective having spent thousands of hours in the past several years deep in the weeds of tech operating systems, communication platforms, and the issue of simultaneous users.   What Twitter represents, and what Musk is attempting, is not what most would think.

In the big picture of tech platforms, Twitter, as an operating model, is a massive high-user commenting system.

Twitter is not a platform built around a website; Twitter is a platform for comments and discussion that operates in the sphere of social media.  As a consequence, the technology and data processing required to operate the platform does not have an economy of scale.

There is no business model where Twitter is financially viable to operate…. UNLESS the tech architecture under the platform was subsidized.

In my opinion, there is only one technological system and entity that could possibly underwrite the cost of Twitter to operate.  That entity is the United States Government, and here’s why….

There is no business model, even with paying subscribers, for Twitter to exist.  As the business grows, the costs increase, and the costs to subscribers would grow.  So, what is going on?

The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap.  The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account.

If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy.  Let that sink in.

The U.S. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database.  The backbone of Twitter is the United States government.

There is simply no way the Fourth Branch of Government, the U.S. intelligence system writ large, is going to permit that discovery.

Please, continue reading at Conservative Treehouse.

He’s right. Rumor was that Twitter is a clown operation.

And our own P-Rex offered this:

Giggle, told you all the other day. Musk is set on buying and REMAKING Twitter. Step one, buy “controlling interest” Done. Step two refuse LAME attempt to stop him by offering him a CONTROLLED and LIMITED board seat DONE.

Step three make HUGE offer for entire company 43 BILLION. DONE
Step four remove current corrupt governing officers (Twitter CEO CFO, and Board) COMING…part of the deal to buy, is the current loons MUST GO.Musk will put HIS people in place.

Step five go about accessing and REMOVING via reassignment, demotion, or plain old firing all the leftist supervisors that do the “grunt” work in censoring conservatives. COMING soon after the board is gone.
Step six Put in new or retrained and FAIR minded supervisors who will NOT bow to censorship.
Step seven open new improved and once again FREE Twitter HAPPENS before the midterms.
Step eight Trump is triumphantly returned to Twitter THEN proceeds to decimate Dems and RINOS causing a seismic shift in Congress.
Step nine. New RINO limited Republican Congress opens can of WHOOP Ass on Dems, RINOS, and the Globalists including Covid lies, vaccine lies, Ukraine lies, and election fraud. Trump assists with EVIDENCE.

Step 10 Trump reelected in new FREE FAIR election and goes about fixing the shit storm we are in AND at the same time PUNISHING those that got us there AND their enablers.

Step 11 FREEDOM and PROSPERITY return. Musk quadruples investment, and is hailed a true patriot…

This is PART of what is going on behind the scenes. FIRST the LIAR MSM leftist propaganda machine MUST be neutralized, taking away one of their BIG hammers does that

Second, the truth must be spread FAR and wide
Third The election fraud will be EXPOSED, disseminated, and thereby allowing CONTROLS to be put in place to STOP it from happening again.
Fourth REAL Reps take over Congress, root out corruption, graft, fraud on BOTH sides (hearings etc
Fifth Trump retakes WH, eliminates the corruption in the executive branch especially intelligence and DOJ.
Sixth new JUSTICE MAGA people are installed in the corrupts places.
Seventh evidence presented in the new FREE Twitter to the masses, AND revealed in the NEW Rep Congressional hearings, is presented to Durham, who convenes grand juries and subpoenas.
Eighth evidence is presented to NEW MAGA AG and DOJ.
Ninth, the NEW DOJ and AG run the trials not through the corrupt systems in DC, NY, or CA, but through MAGA jurisdictions, all while Trump is appointing even MORE MAGA judges and justices to “flip” and weed out leftist loyalists (who also now will face the VERY REAL option of being IMPEACHED by the new Rep Congress.
Tenth, the guilty who did so much harm, the ones that have not too the “easy way out” will FINALLY come to see JUSTICE.

Peace, prosperity TRUTH, and the rule of LAW return. There will be MUCH rejoicing. Somewhere in Heaven the good Lord gives a thumbs up, winks at the founding fathers, and says maybe judgement day can wait just a little longer.

Let’s hope so.

In the meantime, all the bed wetting is getting entertaining

According to ancient oral tradition as written down by the Church Fathers, while Christ was hanging on the cross, He recited this.

Psalm 21

[1] Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. [2] O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. [3] O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. [4] But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel. [5] In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.

[2] “The words of my sins”: That is, the sins of the world, which I have taken upon myself, cry out against me, and are the cause of all my sufferings.

[6] They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. [7] But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. [8] All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. [9] He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. [10] For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.

[11] I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God, [12] Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. [13] Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me. [14] They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring. [15] I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.

[16] My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. [17] For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. [18] They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me. [19] They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. [20] But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.

[21] Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog. [22] Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. [23] I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. [24] Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. [25] Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.

[26] With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. [27] The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever. [28] All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. [29] For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations. [30] All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.

[31] And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him. [32] There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.

Only one verse of it is included in the Passions found in Scripture.

And for those who like the music actually written for Good Friday, this piece was written strictly for the Sistine Chapel and for three hundred years was not done outside of it. It’s a bear to hold pitch. Trust me.

At least there’s a new JP.

Have a great weekend.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220414

Are you ready kids?

No, really, it’s true.

MOSCOW, 13 April. /TASS/. Russia introduces mirror sanctions against 398 members of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, congressmen, including the leadership and chairmen of committees, are included in the stop list of the Russian Federation on an ongoing basis. This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, distributed on Wednesday.

“In response to the next wave of anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the administration of [U.S. President] Joe Biden on March 24 against 328 deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, which, taking into account the previously blacklisted Russian parliamentarians, makes up almost the entire composition of it, mirror sanctions restrictions are being introduced against 398 members of the U.S. House of Representatives,” the text reads.

“These persons, including the leadership and chairmen of the committees of the lower house of the US Congress, are included in the Russian stop list on an ongoing basis. Together with other current lawmakers, who, like Speaker of the [U.S. House of Representatives] Nancy Pelosi, was previously banned from entering the Russian Federation , “listing” on the basis of reciprocity is subject to all US congressmen,” the ministry added.

Smolenskaya Square also indicated that Russia, as a response to US sanctions, will soon announce new measures that involve expanding the number of people on the stop list, as well as other steps. “Given the constantly imposed US sanctions, new announcements of Russian countermeasures are planned in the near future, involving an increase in the number of persons included in the stop list and other retaliatory steps,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

It would be interesting to know who the Russians did not sanction, and if this is a move in the larger plan.

Stay tuned on that one.

The snowflakes at Twitter are experiencing something like the vapors over Elon Musk and his stake in the company.

Twitter ‘a s–t-show’ for employees since Elon Musk took major stake: report

Elon Musk’s looming battle with Twitter’s board is a source of major anxiety for company employees – many of whom are reportedly worried that billionaire’s campaign to force changes is just beginning.

Musk’s surprise rejection of a Twitter board seat emerged ahead of a scheduled “day of rest” for company employees, according to a report.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal broke the news on his account the previous night, describing Musk’s decision as “for the best” even as he warned workers they would face “distractions ahead,” Bloomberg reported late Monday.

The uncertainty left Twitter workers feeling “super stressed” about the future, with employees reportedly “working together to help each other get through the week.”

The report cited interviews with Twitter employees who asked not to be identified while discussing the company’s inner workings. Several employees told the outlet that Twitter’s internal environment was a “s–t-show” after Musk’s deal with the board fell through.

It really sounds like they need their blankies and binkies.

1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-26

23For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

JOHN 13:1-15

1Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel. 5Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part in me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “You are not all clean.” 12When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

This is not the way I sang it, but years ago, I sang this in a concert in one of the great “rooms” in town. I actually got it to ring. This is also one of the spirituals which appear in Michael Tippett’s “A Child of Our Time,” a piece put together in protest of World War Two.

Let’s see…Spy Wednesday…what’s out there….

Former Trump Attorney John Eastman Pushes for Decertification of Wisconsin Election Following Recent Discoveries of Extensive Fraud

In recent weeks we discovered the following about the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin:

** Operatives stuffed 957,077 new registrations into the state voter rolls in the 10 months preceding the election, or 29% of the total vote.
** There was 100% turnout in nursing homes in Zuckerberg-funded Wisconsin cities – they stole the votes from seniors.
** The voter rolls were deliberately not cleaned in the state with millions of extra names.
** The state election commission charged Republicans $12,500 for data requests but Democrats were given similar data requests for free.
** 7% of the ballots were illegally trafficked – over 137,000 votes!
** At least 107 ballot traffickers were identified in the state.

When it all appears in a list like that, it’s kind of hard to ignore.

About the diamonds:

Oh, and by the way, under a lupe every diamond is unique. The flaws are specific.

And thanks to DeBeers, they’re worth a lot of money.

Ukraine…a psy-op in many ways?

The Western intelligence apparatus won the information war in Ukraine before a shot was fired. Even new publications like the Kyiv Independent have received support from NGOs that do in public what the CIA used to do in private. My story in @HumanEvents +🧵

The Independent is a good example. It’s got growing subscriber base now, but according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, it was created with an “emergency grant from the European Endowment for Democracy,” a spinoff of the National Endowment for Democracy. What is the NED?
On the surface, it’s an NGO that promotes civil society worldwide by, among other things, sponsoring and providing training for journalists and activists directly or indirectly. The reality, however, is different.

Here’s ProPublica’s characterization: “The National Endowment for Democracy was established by Congress, in effect, to take over the CIA’s covert propaganda efforts. But, unlike the CIA, the NED promotes U.S. policy and interests openly.”

The NED’s co-founder, Allen Weinstein, admitted as much. “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” he said in an interview with the Washington Post entitled, “Innocence Abroad: The New World of Spyless Coups.” washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…“The biggest difference is that when such activities are done overtly, the flap potential [i.e., embarrass or embroil the CIA in controversy] is close to zero,” Weinstein said. Recall that in 1967, Ramparts magazine humiliated the agency by exposing . . .

. . . that it had turned the National Student Association’s international activities into “an arm of United States foreign policy” through undercover financing and secret collaboration. Now, “Openness is its own protection,” as Weinstein put it.

In fall 2021, a profile of the Independent’s chief editor, Olga Rudenko, appeared in ProMarket, a publication of the Stigler Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Rudenko was visiting the school for a journalism development program.

According to ProMarket, she is also a board member at the Media Development Foundation, an NGO that has received at least $225,140 from the NED. You won’t find that without a digital archive because the NED’s records of funding projects in Ukraine was recently moved or deleted. The archived page shows that from 2014 to the present, the NED has granted $22,394,281 through 334 awards to Ukraine. However, since the change, the NED only allows users to search back to 2017.

MATTHEW 26:14-25

14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him. 17Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?” 18He said, “Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, `The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'” 19And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover. 20When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples; 21and as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me. 24The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25Judas, who betrayed him, said, “Is it I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said so.”

When COVID hit, I was part of a group working on The Song of Mark by Marty Haugen. The music itself and the voices are not the greatest, but the text…like Monty Python, imagine what went on around the Passion that was out of eye and earshot of the Evangelists.

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.

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.

And JP comes through again.

A reminder:

Some things that did not find their way into the dailies:

US oil imports from Russia increase by 43%

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Mikhail Popov on Sunday, the US increased its imports of Russian oil by 43% in the last week, totaling 100,000 barrels a day.

Popov told Komsomolskaya Pravda news that “the US forced Europeans to introduce anti-Russian sanctions, while not only continuing to import oil from Russia but increasing volume of [oil] deliveries for the past week by 43% up to 100,000 barrels per day!”

The Deputy Secretary also detailed that Washington imported fertilizers from Russia while listing them as essential goods.

The US last month announced a ban on Russian oil, natural gas, and coal imports as a response to the Russian operation in Ukraine.

Well, which is it?

Interesting coming out of France where the European Union found that the national identity was more strong than anywhere else in western Europe some years back.

Former French Intel Chief: “All Multicultural Societies Are Doomed”

Former French intelligence chief Pierre Brochand warns that unless Europe and France radically change their policies on mass immigration, civil war could break out, asserting, “all multicultural societies are doomed.”

Brochand, who served as director of the French DGSE from 2002 to 2008, made the comments during an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro.

The negative impact of mass immigration on France can no longer be dismissed because it is “increasingly difficult to prevent the French from seeing what they see,” and also because “a breakthrough personality has suddenly appeared in the formulaic world of politics that has encouraged them to open their eyes,” said Brochand.

The ex-intel chief predicts that if Emmanuel Macron wins the presidential election and fails to massively alter his approach to immigration, civil war could ensue.

“This gradual upheaval of the French population, if not the only challenge we face, is the only one that directly threatens civil peace on our territory,” said Brochand, warning that Muslim migrants and others from outside of Europe have developed a “spirit of post-colonial revenge.”

Here’s to hoping Le Pen wins the run-off.

Interesting in the larger scheme of things.

Canada Bans Foreign Home Buyers for Two Years

In Chapter 1, sub-section 1.4 of the 2022 Canadian budget, there is a rather remarkable new rule that bans foreign ownership and investment in housing for a period of two years.  [LINK HERE]

To make sure that housing is owned by Canadians instead of foreign investors, Budget 2022 announces the government’s intention to propose restrictions that would prohibit foreign commercial enterprises and people who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents from acquiring non- recreational, residential property in Canada for a period of two years.”

Two points about this issue.  First, can you imagine the media outcry if a conservative prime minister would ever make such a proposal?  Quite a leftist change from the previous mantra “diversity is our strength”?

Second, considering the issue of foreign investment that creates housing, there is a likelihood this could backfire.  The new position of Canada will certainly put more upward pressure on the U.S. housing market.  Every action tends to have an equal and opposite reaction.  It will be interesting to follow this and see where it leads.

And…not that we all didn’t suspect this…. (this one did make a daily, but it is worth a repeat)

World Economic Forum Was Created By US Policies

Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), is the personification of The Great Reset — the ultimate goal of which is to do away with the democratic process and give all ownership and control to the deep state — and the technocratic elite who control it.

In the video above, comedian JP Sears outlines the primary reasons why this makes Schwab easily among the most dangerous people in the world — and arguably the most dangerous. One of The Great Reset’s “new normal” dictums is that you’ll own nothing and be happy. This is part of WEF’s 2030 agenda,1 and a plan is already in place to make it happen.

Schwab is also author of the book, “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” which was published July 9, 2020. “Wonder how he got it written and published that fast?” Sears said. “It’s almost like he prewrote it before he started the pandemic. I mean, before the pandemic started.”2

WEF operates via fearmongering — about disease and environmental catastrophes, for starters. When the population is controlled by fear, it welcomes authoritarian “protections” like increased surveillance and digital identity systems, introduced under the guise of safety, but which ultimately remove personal autonomy and freedom.

In fact, Schwab wrote, “One of the greatest lessons of the past five centuries in Europe and America is this: Acute crisis contributes to boosting the power of the state. It’s always been the case, and there is no reason why it should be different with the COVID-19 pandemic.”3 Remember, nobody elected Schwab to any government position, but he’s behind the scenes pulling strings nonetheless.

And he was taught by Henry Kissinger at Harvard to boot.

Also, expect a lot more of this:

This is actually Monday’s Gospel, and is the bridge between Jesus entering Jerusalem, and the true Passion.

JOHN 12:1-11

1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Laz’arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz’arus was one of those at table with him. 3Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said, 5“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it. 7Jesus said, “Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial. 8The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.” 9When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz’arus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10So the chief priests planned to put Laz’arus also to death, 11because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

This week, I kind of want to highlight some favorites. I was introduced to this piece during the Washington, D.C., Archdiocesan Music Festival (the performance was in the Eisenhower Theater in the Kennedy Center, my first big stage experience) when I was in sixth grade. I was in the grade school chorus, and this was sung by the high school chorus with the soloist being a senior in R.O.T.C. uniform who was a tenor from DeMatha High School. It has stuck with me ever since.

RALLY THREAD: Save America – Selma, NC, April 9, 2022

https://twitter.com/Suzy_NotSuzy/status/1512663040973545473

President Trump is more popular than ever.

Okay, about Selma, North Carolina:

Selma is a town in Johnston CountyNorth Carolina, United States. In 2010, the population was 6,073,[5] and as of 2018 the estimated population was 6,913.[6] Selma is part of the Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area. The area has a population over 1.7 million residents, though the town of Selma is able to maintain its rural character. The Everitt P. Stevens House, located in Selma, was the site of the last Grand Review of the Confederate Army held on April 6, 1865, after its defeat at the Battle of Bentonville.

Born as a Railroad Town

Selma was officially chartered as a Town on February 11, 1873, but the Town’s true birth took place on May 1, 1867, when there was a public sale of lots around a newly established station on the North Carolina Railroad. Selma was born as a “Railroad Town,” and our rail heritage is still evident today, with our recently renovated 1924 Union Depot (Selma Union Depot) supporting Amtrak service.

The Town is also home to the Mitchener Station, which was built in 1855 and it is thought to be the oldest surviving train station in North Carolina. When Interstate 95 was built in the late 1950s, the Town experienced growth due to its proximity to the Interstate.  Today, there are many hotels and restaurants located in the area for visitors traveling on Interstate 95.

And one of Selma’s most famous residents was Lunsford Richardson, who was born in 1854 on a farm near Selma. He rose to fame as the inventor of Vick’s Vapo-Rub. After graduating from Davidson College at the top of his class, he became a teacher and then a pharmacist, working out of Dr. Joshua Vick’s drugstore in Selma. While in Johnston County, he invented Richardson’s Croup and Pneumonia Cure Salve and later changed the name to Vick’s Salve in honor of Dr. Vick. The name was then changed to Vick’s Vapo-Rub and a nationwide advertising campaign made the name a household word. In 1905, Richardson convinced the Postal Service to allow him to mass-mail his advertising circulars simply to “boxholder” instead of individuals. Because this marked the first such mailing, Richardson gained the dubious distinction of also being known as “the father of junk mail.”

Well, we all have to be known for something, right?

About the rally:

About Save America

Over the past four years, President Donald Trump’s administration delivered for Americans of all backgrounds like never before. Save America is about building on those accomplishments, supporting the brave conservatives who will define the future of the America First Movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country.  Save America is also about ensuring that we always keep America First, in our foreign and domestic policy.  We take pride in our country, we teach the truth about our history, we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions, and of course, we respect our great American Flag.

  • We are committed to defending innocent life and to upholding the Judeo-Christian values of our founding.
  • We believe in the promise of the Declaration of Independence, that we are all made EQUAL by our Creator, and that must all be TREATED equal under the law.
  • We know that our rights do not come from government, they come from God, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away. That includes the right to religious liberty and the right to Keep and Bear Arms.
  • We believe in rebuilding our previously depleted military and ending the endless wars our failed politicians of the past got us into for decades.
  • We embrace free thought, we welcome robust debate, and we are not afraid to stand up to the oppressive dictates of political correctness.
  • We know that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard of our freedoms, and we affirm that the Constitution means exactly what it says AS WRITTEN.
  • We support fair trade, low taxes, and fewer job-killing regulations, and we know that America must always have the most powerful military on the face of the Earth.
  • We believe in Law and Order, and we believe that the men and women of law enforcement are HEROES who deserve our absolute support.
  • We believe in FREE SPEECH and Fair Elections.  We must ensure fair, honest, transparent, and secure elections going forward – where every LEGAL VOTE counts.

DEAR MAGA: TGIF Open Thread 20220408

Yes, folks, it’s Friday. Time to pour a cocktail and let your hair down if it already isn’t.

Let’s see…poolside libations. Sugar and spice and everything nice…we’ll save Sex on the Beach until after Lent is over.

Maybe some tea…Long Island Iced Tea?

  • ½ fluid ounce vodka
  • ½ fluid ounce rum
  • ½ fluid ounce gin
  • ½ fluid ounce tequila
  • ½ fluid ounce triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
  • 1 fluid ounce sweet and sour mix
  • 1 fluid ounce cola, or to taste
  • 1 lemon slice 

Directions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, and sour mix over ice; cover and shake. Pour cocktail into a Collins or hurricane glass; top with splash of cola for color. Garnish with a lemon slice.

True confession: I had one of these for my first legal drink…and haven’t had one since.

Alright, shall we kick things off with Sundance noticing something that the rest of us have seen for a while?

There Is Something Very Troublesome About the Western Govt, Post-COVID, Rules-Based Order

The word ‘autocracy‘, with all its variants, has been used a lot frequently by western government politicians as they attack the ideology of Russia, China and essentially every national leader who does not join their “rules-based order” club.  There is so much linguistic repetition from the same western leadership, it’s impossible not to see this autocracy narrative as some form of talking point that stemmed from some G7 or NATO collaboration meeting.

It does not seem coincidental the new catch phrases of “autocracy” vs “rules-based order” surfaced at the tail end of the COVID crisis, when Build Back Better shifted from a talking point into an actual set of western legislative constructs  perhaps intended to codify the emergency powers those same officials deployed.

What kind of democracy, or rules-based order mindset, was the European Commission carrying when they decried the overwhelming national election in Hungary?  Surely if the EU wanted to celebrate democracy, they would cheer for the high voter turnout that reelected Prime Minister Viktor Orban, yet they did exactly the opposite.  Apparently, some democracies are more valued than others.

At the same time the EU is clutching pearls over the results in Hungary, another western ally, Canada, is codifying the government’s emergency act power to seize property without due process.  As we are directed to be distracted by everything Zelenskyy, it might be worth noting that Ontario Bill 100 is about to permanently change the rules of permitted political protest. You can read about Bill 100 here and watch the economic debate here.

Essentially, Bill 100 gives the Canadian government the power to seize your home, finances, bank accounts and assets if you take part in any form of protest that would create economic harm to any loosely defined entity.  Protest at the border, lose your house; at least that’s the threat they are about to make into a law.

It seems rather incredulous to me that securing a corporate financial interest would override the concerning possibility of forever losing liberty and freedom for the individual citizen. However, in this new post-COVID ‘rules-based order’, that’s the official justification from the Canadian government.  Slippery slope and all that accepted, this Ontario Bill 100 is a few slides beyond the slippery.

Similar actions are taking place in New Zealand and Australia, where codifying the emergency powers of public health officials post-COVID rules, is at the forefront of their legislative and constitutional reform efforts.

Creating new era ‘rules-based democracy’ stuff is filling up the business end of western government attention in Europe, North American and the land down under.

Can you say “New World Order,” Sundance?

Yesterday P-Rex gave us this:


prognosticatasaurusrex
OnlineWolverine April 7, 2022 12:57

Remember what i posted yesterday about select members of the Cabal all of a sudden testing positive for Covid, even though they have all made it through 2 years without it, in the HEIGHT of the “outbreak”. NOW, cases are at the lowest since the beginning?

I am telling you this is too much of a “coincidence, and as Q said, there are NO coincidences.

Schiff then Pelosi? within 24 hours. SOMETHING is up TOO many of the HIGHER profile Cabal are just suddenly “testing positive” and then out of the spotlight for a bit. With all that is going on with election fraud and Durham this cannot be a mere happenstance.

Word on the Telegram channels is “testing positive” is code for being taken in for questioning. On what? We don’t know what we don’t know.

In the meantime, the normies are starting to wake up on some of the truths we’ve known about the beer bug and the clot shots for quite a while, and good information is finding its way into the big name blog sites like The Blaze.

It’s no longer January 2021, when we all thought we lived in a world of normal vaccines. It’s no longer OK for elected officials to mindlessly repeat the bromide “safe and effective” without any reflection about the mass injury we’ve witnessed, along with the waning and the negative efficacy, in itself, engendering calls for endless boosters. We have so much information that raises serious questions, not the least of which is from Pfizer’s own documents, now ordered released by a federal judge, thanks to Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, and FOIA requests from groups like the Informed Consent Action Network.

Here are just three of the most recent revelations from these documents that expose the government/pharma narrative to be a lie at its core:

1) Pfizer needed massive staff to process adverse event reports…

2) Rate of myocarditis…

So, all of these stories suggesting that young males were more at risk for myocarditis from the virus than from the shots were bogus, and Pfizer knew it. And again, if this is the degree the company is willing to concede, imagine what the true incidence rate is.

Also, what is the degree of subclinical myocarditis? If we know about this many cases shortly after the injection, who’s to say there isn’t another cohort of people with heart damage that has remained subclinical so far but could come to fruition several months later? Remember, with many fewer vaccines administered in 2022, the rate of myocarditis reports to VAERS is averaging 245% higher than last year.

3) Pfizer knew about natural immunity…

Pfizer claims efficacy against severe illness among those who took the shot vs. the placebo group among those without prior infection. Researchers report one case in the trial group and 21 in the placebo group. Then they mix together results of those with and without prior infection, and yet the numbers remain the same at 1 and 21 respectively! That means that among those with prior infection, there were zero cases of serious reinfection in both the trial and placebo groups.

Waking up is happening whether the Davos crowd wants it to or not.

Amazing what news of grooming at the Mouse’s House will manifest.

A few inconvenient truth bombs.

Don’t forget:

And then there was this from the Babylon Bee:

Are You A Woman? 12 Signs To Look For

Are you always cold?

Has a human ever popped out of you?

Have you ever decorated a bed with six or more pillows?

Can you tell the difference between cream white and rustic farmhouse white?

Have you run into a curb in the past 24 hours? Be honest, CAROL.

DO YOU BLEED? Like, for an extended period of time at regular intervals?

Does it take you over three hours to decide what you want to eat?

Are you currently a member of at least three pyramid schemes?

Do you find simple movie plots hard to follow?

Do you frequently describe your emotional state as “fine” when you are not in fact fine?

Is your Starbucks drink order anything other than black coffee?

Do you have two X chromosomes?

Tally up your number of “Yes” answers and consult this chart:

0-2: There’s a small chance you’re a dude, bro.

3-5: We’re getting some real feminine vibes here.

6-8: Starting to look kinda likely that you’re probably a woman.

9-11: Definitely a woman.

12: You are the final boss of women. Congrats!

Not revealing my score, but I could tell the Couch Commando the difference between cream white and rustic farmhouse white. My brother being a true guy, just laughed. I also haven’t hit a curb this week, and am not participating in any pyramid schemes to my knowledge.

Rocky III. Eye of the Tiger. Survivor. Take your pick. We went to see that in the theater, and half the swim team was there. That was not organized, but it was fun.

JEREMIAH 20:10-13

10For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! “Denounce him! Let us denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, watching for my fall. “Perhaps he will be deceived, then we can overcome him, and take our revenge on him.” 11But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. 12O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause. 13Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

Russel Brand is just so on it with this one, it’s not even funny.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20220407

Chow down, folks. For this one, we’re going to need sustenance.

Are you ready?

TheStormHasArrived17Forwarded from We The Media ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (AwakenedOutlaw ⭐️⭐️⭐️ & OutlawJW on Gab) After reading a number of similar comments in chat tonight I feel compelled to say something.

Yes, all of this is taking longer than we’d like. Duh! But do you honestly think our Patriots would choose to have this go on a day longer than it needs to? Of course not. To even assert as much is ludicrous.

So, if for some reason you oddly feel it necessary to proclaim publicly that you alone know how best to manage the larger military operation in play – trust me this one – you don’t. And it’s not even close.

The fact is that you, Mr. or Mrs. Combat Karen, don’t know more about how things need proceed than the people currently running point on effort to save humanity. You know, the people who have been at this for years/decades before you were even aware that there was a problem to begin with. Those guys. Let ’em do their damn job.

The solution obviously involves 1) educating us as to the magnitude of the pickle we’re in (so it never happens again), and 2) safely managing the completion of a resounding and historic victory for all of mankind that forever changes the course of humanity. Oh, and did I mention doing so without destroying the world economy and having things deteriorate to the point where door-to-door type conventional war breaks out in the process thereby putting MILLIONS of lives at risk.

So here’s a thought. If you feel the need to play ‘Chicken Little’ and/or make asinine assertions as to the superiority of your vast experience managing some of the largest and most complex military operations in the history of man – don’t.

Think of it this way. Kids complaining from the back of the car doesn’t do a damn thing to get to the destination sooner. But what it does do is makes the rest of the trip more miserable for everyone else in the vehicle having to suffer through it.

Food for thought.

And then from Anonymous Conservative:

Prices at supermarkets in Germany are skyrocketing. I cannot over emphasize how fascinating it is to live through a K-shift, and discover the linkage between shortage, violence/chaos, disease, and economic failure in this one has been entirely artificial, with all of them being engineered/fake. I never saw anything like that coming. I had always assumed they were linked mechanistically, naturally. How many other K-shifts in the past have been like that, with every facet artificially engineered? How long have these elites been ruling the world, and using this exact same playbook? How long have they had this level of control over everything?

Thanks to Phoenix and P-Rex for highlighting this:

Is the entire world helping? From an angle that doesn’t just look at the surface, it certainly could look that way. There is no reason for other countries not to be able to look out for their own interests, and energy is the way Russia is doing that…although, not exactly always on the side of daylight.

Russia, it turns out, has reportedly been promoting, often through “dark money” via Bermuda – which does not require donor countries to be named — “green” campaigns against nuclear power to ensure dependence by the West on imports of Russia’s fossil fuels. According to an article in The Hill:

“In 2014 – the same year Russia annexed Crimea – then-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned that Russia was covertly working to undermine European and U.S. fossil fuel production…

According to The Guardian, Rasmussen… claimed in a presentation to a think tank in London, ‘I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – environmental organizations working against shale gas – to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas.'”

That article from the Gatestone Institute is worth a read.

Wow. And now, for the daily collection:

If you’ve never watched the whole thing, seriously, give it a whirl.

This is a few years old, but, uh, looks like we Gen Xers are just not important, and invisible.

Nothing seems to have changed.

No, no, no, no. Stacey Abrams is NOT a superhero.

And now for the memes. I should save some for tomorrow…. Nah.

And it would really help free up open range for livestock.

Honestly, this could be a scene in my back yard.

Really? Seriously?

Is this a family friendly forum?
