“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

TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are.

Given the anniversary coming on Friday, this one seems appropriate:
And a 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.”
And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out with anyone who happens to still be hanging out there.
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.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
1Now you are walled about with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike upon the cheek the ruler of Israel. 2But you, O Bethlehem Eph’rathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. 3Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in travail has brought forth; then the rest of his brethren shall return to the people of Israel. 4And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
For his second rally of the 2020 Presidential Campaign re-start, President Donald J. Trump and his team have chosen to stick to small town America, and have chosen…Latrobe, Pennsylvania?
Uhh, where is this place? (Thanks to an anon @Jack’s place, we have a map.)
More to the point, tonight’s rally is in a swing state where the officials have been known to play the precinct waiting game on election night.
Looks like the savvy 4D chess player is going to try to head that off at the pass.
Main Street, Latrobe, Pennsylvania
So, aside from being in what appears to be the fabled steel country of western Pennsylvania, what info is there out there on Latrobe? From wiki:
In 1852, Oliver Barnes (a civil engineer for the Pennsylvania Railroad) laid out the plans for the community that was incorporated in 1854 as the Borough of Latrobe. Barnes named the town for his best friend and college classmate, Benjamin Latrobe, who was a civil engineer for the B&O Railroad. (His father, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, was the architect who rebuilt the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, after the War of 1812.)
Its location along the route of the Pennsylvania Railroad helped Latrobe develop into a significant industrial hub. Latrobe was also served by the Ligonier Valley Railroad from 1877 to 1952.
In 1904, the banana split was invented in Latrobe by David Evans Strickler at the pharmacy that later became named Strickler’s Drug Store.[4]
Two interurban (long-distance trolley) lines served Latrobe:
The Westmoreland County Railway Company connected Latrobe to Derry and operated from 1904 to 1932.[5] The Latrobe Street Railway Company connected Latrobe to Kingston and began operations in 1900.[6] This line was purchased by West Penn Railways, which eventually linked it with its network running through Youngstown, Pleasant Unity, and eventually to Greensburg and Uniontown. Service ceased in 1952.[6] Latrobe has two sites on the National Register of Historic Places within its city boundaries:
Pennsylvania Railroad Station at Latrobe (325 McKinley Avenue): This station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1903.[7] Citizens National Bank of Latrobe (816 Ligonier Street, at Main Street): This was previously known as the Mellon Bank Building. This six-story, 1926 structure was designed by the Greensburg firm of Batholomew and Smith.[8] The former Fort Sloan, a small fortress established by the British settlers in the 1700s, is now a private residence, situated on the corner of Cedar St. and Raymond Ave.
So, it’s a rail town. Got it.
And has become standard operating procedure with these rallies, the crowds started turning up early.
“I’m not kidding, I truly believe that Donald Trump was sent by God." Supporters of President Trump were seen camping out at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport ahead of his rally tonight in Latrobe. https://t.co/TaZiKB2jNBpic.twitter.com/0XeHD2eDfd

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.
Author note: this morning, I found this @Jack’s place and posted it in the daily thread. The boss requested it be pulled out for its own thread (especially in light of Que’s flurry late this morning). From here to the bottom of the post is the post.
Shadowgate gets another person talking about it without the name. Photos can be found on the threadreader. DePat note: this is the entire thread.
How many of you remember this guy? He was rightfully called out and was labeled a “crises actor.” But in truth, he is a “reality hacker” – and part of a big operation. Let me explain the steps to an #IIA op using this guy as a tangible example.
1) There is a staged incident facilitated by a “player”
2) A photog / journalist is in position to document the incident. Like a illusionist showing only certain “facts.”
3) An editor of a respected news source is asked by a third party to prominently published story / picture
4) Harvested Social Media (SM) data from a specific population is analyzed to determine which blue checks to use to push the story or pictures. The software can also determine the emotional weaknesses or unconscious biases of the population* *The population can be a whole country, a specific city or a even a specific individual. The AI software is both that accurate and that dangerous.
5) Selected blue check marks promote the news story / picture / video.
6) Other selected blue check marks post emotional or passionate responses to the story, that are precisely worded to leverage the population’s weaknesses and biases id’d earlier by the SM analytics company.
7) Credence is giving to the blue-check posts using likes and comments from fake “personas” or accounts run by the same SM analytics company.
8) Success is when we normal people comment on the story or retweet the story, unaware our reality has been hacked.
9) The population’s brain is made mush by hiding facts, emotions are manipulated and beliefs have now been shaped.
Now back to our example 1) Known professional protester plays his part. The 1st image was the one used broadly by the AP. The 2nd picture is a freeze-frame analysis by retired FBI field agent J. Gary DiLaura who shows that all is not as it seems. The fake blood is a good tell.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxN8DAXgAE4_a7.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxN-fOXgAEHZjw.png
Step 2) Queue the photog / reporter. Here are pictures of protester Gugino and the NPR photog / reporter Mike Desmond hanging out together just before the incident. Having a laugh.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxOp3aXsAAat6S.png
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxOp32XYAAueF1.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxOp4dWsAEnNn5.jpg
Step 3) Mr Desmond’s video is published by NPR at 8:03 PM. Three hours later ABC News has put out their own article.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxO6SNWsAQn8Ck.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxO6S5WsBEXZtH.jpg
Steps 4 & 5) Listen to talks by Bill Binney (former NSA Officer) on how your online data & comms are collected by US intelligence apparatus. Then watch #Shad0wgate to understand how your data is monetized and weaponized by private companies using public personas. Step 6) Blue-checks passionately promote.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxPSZgWkAEo_3Y.jpg
Step 7) Validate the blue-check posts using fake accounts to ‘up the ratio’ (e.g. “likes” “retweets” and “comments”).
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxPhV9XYAAZsQp.jpg
Step 8) Normies are convinced of the atrocity and begin spreading the fake narrative on their own.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxP6PwWsAE8Dvn.jpg
There’s so much $$ involved too. Shadowy shell companies are used to – Cut a check to the actor for his services – Cut a check to the photog / journalist for “consulting” work – in addition to what their employer already pays them – Pay off the Editor, again for “consulting” – Cut a very large check to the AI company that is analyzing and selling OUR social media data that had been illegally harvested and now sits overseas. – Pay off the blue checks – Pay for the fake likes and comments from the analytics company. Meanwhile our tax dollars were spent developing the intelligence apparatus used to harvest our data. We paid for the military-grade AI program that finds our weaknesses. We paid again to fine tune the publishing-promoting processes for maximum damage or “success.” Are you mad yet? Did you post a comment about the geriatric-reality hacker’s “altercation” with police in Buffalo? The good news is all those payments are RECEIPTS in the hands of the right law enforcement. The financier, the players, blue checks, the SM analytics company can be charged under RICO. But that only happens if we make it happen. Right now the baby step is for more people to have discernment. To be able to see when bad actors are trying to manipulate us, divide us and put hate in our hearts. Question the motive of *every* blue check tweet. Ignore the high number of “likes” on and particular posts and any highly emotional comments, unless you personally know the individual. Learn how to ID the fake accounts. So why now is the magic losing its effectiveness? How is that the wizard’s curtain is being pulled? 1) Brave whistleblowers are stepping out into the light who have worked these operations for the private analytics/ intelligence companies
2) The people behind them are getting desperate / sloppy due to the velocity of current events
3) Everyone has a camera and we’re well connected. Eventually “hidden facts” make their way out to challenge the well-constructed “official narrative.” Note how VERY expensive this narrative was to create. The smallest evidence of truth can destroy it. That’s why the SM companies are asked to silence the “alternative narratives” using techniques perfected by the CCP. (See: social credit score, de-platforming, “cancelling”) But why would the SM Giants do that?
The SM companies, for their part, are not happy that they aren’t the ones being paid big bucks for the SM data analytics.
It’s being stripped out through our intelligence agencies and sold thru these intelligence-related PRIVATE companies.
Well the SM companies will gladly take a slightly smaller check and turn a blind eye to fake personas to help maintain the official narrative if it also means they can maintain their market dominance.
If this symbiotic relationship is not honored by the SM companies alternative platforms will be brought in to replace the current ones (goodbye Myspace, hello @parler_app).
Think what a bombshell this PsyOp (technical term) revelation is to everyone in the United States. How it impacts our entire lives and our very perception of “reality.”
How many news sites that you read would normally be very interested in a tech-abuse story like this but haven’t written a single article since news broke?
Could this be because those very same news sources are part of the business model? (Looking at you @USATODAY )
#WeAreTheNews
But you might say, “I don’t know. There are real things happening, all these events aren’t faked or staged!
There’s too many of them and you see the real violence and devastation happening.”
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxWxgEWkAAaRrV.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgxWxgDXgAEYr1s.jpg
True. Like winding up a perpetual motion machine. Eventually you don’t need the #IIA staged events because “real” events are now happening to kick-off step 1.
Events are now caused by the target population themselves who’s beliefs have been so warped by repeated reality hacks.
Then follow steps 2-8 all over again. This time success is not shaping beliefs but reinforcing and hardening them. Over and over again.
If we don’t break the cycle and then ultimately break the “weapon” aimed at us, it will ruin our society and tear down our country.
We are already teetering on the edge with this election cycle.
We need discernment in a big way.
But how do we learn decrement?
Pray and “…let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12
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 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.
In addition, it is requested that there be no swinging from the chandeliers, celebratory gunfire, messing around with the nuclear weapons, and, please, everyone wash your hands.
Please, do not forget to apply sunscreen after a sensible amount of time in the sun so as to beef up the level of vitamin D in the system so we can all get our immune systems in shape to stop the Wuhan Flu thing sooner rather than later.
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.
A few other vital notes:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
Ridiculing the other side, on the other hand…well….
A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. [2] Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. [3] Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. [4] For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. [5] He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
[6] By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth: [7] Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses. [8] Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him. [9] For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created. [10] The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
[11] But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations. [12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance. [13] The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men. [14] From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth. [15] He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
[16] The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength. [17] Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength. [18] Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy. [19] To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine. [20] Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
[21] For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted. [22] Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Looks like it’s closing in on time with all the winning going on.
Sometime late last week, the Centers for Disease Control updated the true COVID cause of death number versus died with COVID and at least one co-morbidity. 94% of previously attributed COVID only deaths were re-classified.
This information was not publicized by the CDC, but quietly posted on the website as if the people there didn’t want it to be noticed.
Well, it was noticed, and the information was spread via social media very quickly.
And thus, the people who needed to be shown, began the next phase of waking up, Folgers in their cups or not.
>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion). >Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions). >Decide for yourself (be true in your own beliefs). >Decide for yourself (be open to following the facts). >Decide for yourself (be strong in defending your beliefs). >Decide for yourself (be resistant to blindly accepting fact-less statements). Those who attack you. Those who mock you. Those who cull you. Those who control you. Those who label you. Do they represent you? Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)? Mental Enslavement. The Great Awakening (‘Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment). When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable. When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’. “Free thought” is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma. When you are awake, you are able to clearly see. The choice is yours, and yours alone. Trust and put faith in yourself. You are not alone and you are not in the minority. Difficult truths will soon see the light of day. WWG1WGA!!! Q
The ‘how’ will be hard to understand for most. Focus on the ‘why’. The ‘when’ is now. Q
The “how” is not pretty, that’s for sure, but it certainly has been effective.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
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.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.

Riding the momentum of the finale of the Republican National Convention last night, our VSGPOTUSDJT will be heading back out on the campaign trail. He’ll do his part, and it’s up to us to do ours.
Okay, America, a repeat of this is the goal:
Oh, my gosh, were they wrong.
Well, with the exception of the absence of Chris Mathews…yeah, they’re setting themselves up for big time disappointment again using polls that just don’t match the empirical evidence in the size and enthusiasm of the crowds the president is drawing, as well as the ones Joe Biden is not.
Oh, well.
Tonight’s rally in Londonderry, New Hampshire at 6 pm eastern daylight time is sure to have vibes nothing like the mourning the mainstream media was experiencing in November of 2016 after the polls turned out to be wrong on a collosal scale.
Let’s make them wrong again, and starting in the state, one of the original thirteen, where the motto is “Live Free or Die.”
Looks perfectly idyllic doesn’t it?
I suspect that my one and only time in New Hampshire – during a marathon camping trip to New England while on an interstate between Glouchester, Mass., and Freeport, Maine, so that my mother could actually say she had been to L.L.Bean – we probably passed this town which looks to be a classic Americana kind of place with some colonial roots. From wiki:
Londonderry lies in an area that was first known as Nutfield because of the dense woods with nut trees. A petition for the town was submitted to the General Court of the Province of New Hampshire on September 23, 1719.[5] That petition stated that the petitioners had settled “at Nutfield about the Eleventh of Aprile last” – i.e. April 11, 1719. That petition requested “ten miles square” and stated that there were now about seventy families and inhabitants from both Ireland and New England. Many of the Scots-Irish settlers had left their homes in Londonderry in the Province of Ulster in the north of Ireland, and arrived in Boston in 1718 to start a new life without religious wars and persecution. On June 21, 1722, the town was chartered and given the name “Londonderry”.[6][7][8] The grant made by Samuel Shute, Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, was for a tract of land described as follows:
“Beginning on the North East Angle at a Beach Tree marked which is the south East angle of Chester and Running from thence due South on Kingstown Line four miles and an half and from thence on a West Line one mile and three Quarters and from thence South six miles and an half and from thence West north West nine miles and an half, and from thence North Eleven miles and an half from thence north north East Three miles from thence East South East one mile and from thence South South West to the South West Angle of Chester and from thence on an East Line Bounding on Chester Ten miles unto the Beach Tree first mentioned.”
And for those who have heard the word “Londonderry” before, but can’t place it, here’s some mood music.
Several sets of text have been put to this music, but, yes, it’s best known as “Danny Boy.”
I’ll add live links to this post during the late afternoon as they become available.
If you haven’t heard the first couple minutes of Tiffany’s speech the other night, take a listen.
Well, she’s right.
Okay, what to do in this dead space…. Hmmm…..
JUST KIDDING!
How about we follow the greatest carpe diem film characters of all time.
Just FYI, my mother’s Aunt J, a very successful woman (Dem of course), hated this movie.

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.
My special needs nephew loves that one. The rest of us…not so much.

Ridiculing the other side, on the other hand…well….
Apologies to our California crew who all still have electricity.
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways. [2] For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. [3] Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table. [4] Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. [5] May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
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, members of the Cabinet, first responders and those working behind the scenes.

The whole quilt:
My fingers hurt just looking at all that stitching.
As of this writing, this is the latest from the President’s Own Marine Band. I think y’all will like it.
And a 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.”
And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out with anyone who happens to still be hanging out there.
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.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
From the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 23:
And whosoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it: [22] And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. [23] Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone. [24] Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel. [25] Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean. [27] Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones, and of all filthiness. [28] So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. [29] Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just, [30] And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
