Dear MAGA: 20190521 Open Topic

This TO RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTION TUESDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


Remember the 5 words that President Trump and Vice President Pence love to hear:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT? TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

There may be some question about what speech is allowed here.

My goal is to be as expansive as possible, as far as RULES. My preference is to be no more restrictive than the First Amendment.

So far, the only LEGAL speech I’ve acted against is metaphorical “targeted violence” against famous individuals that is probably NOT a real threat, but is easily misinterpreted as one by our enemies, and thereby used to shut us down, or to paint me as a legitimate target in an abused law enforcement set-up.

I don’t actually LIKE that stance. I would prefer to fight it out on those cases, should the speech ever be questioned, when I know the person is NOT actually a threat. However, I’ve been CONNED before, and SETTING PEOPLE UP to come to the aid of BAIT VICTIMS is a specialty of the left. Just look at SPYGATE to see how this works.

When you see the wounded hostage girl in the middle of the road, you don’t help her. You dump 50,000 rounds of ammo into every conceivable ambush point. Then you inspect the bodies, remove the booby-traps from the girl, and interrogate her to see if she’s a true hostage. Probably not.

Now you understand why I dealt severely with these cases. Do it that way once, and they don’t happen again.

So what about child pornography?

Easy. It’s illegal. Not allowed. Along with any other clearly illegal speech.

NOW, that said, NOT all illegal speech will actually be removed from this site. Child pornography would be removed, obviously, because just looking at it intentionally is a crime. However, an ILLEGAL THREAT will remain posted PUBLICLY as EVIDENCE which the PUBLIC has a right to see. I would likely preserve the EVIDENCE and BAN THE ACCOUNT so that the evidence could not be deleted.

Unlike all these places that seem to think it’s OK to hide social media accounts once they become important, I will not hide evidence that the PUBLIC has a right to see. All arguments AGAINST this involve forms of PRIOR RESTRAINT, and I simply don’t buy that shit. Journalists have a RIGHT to see it. That includes citizen journalists.

Now – in the interest of investigations – into scandals like NXIVM, “pizzagate”, and the Podesta brothers, we may actually end up DISCUSSING child pornography. I don’t have a problem with that. AT ALL. If we have to label the threads NSFW, not a problem.

What about “plain old pornography”? Well, if it’s relevant to MAGA or citizen journalism in some way, like in the news, then not a problem. We may have to label a thread NSFW. That’s reasonable, IMO. We can work that out.

Personally, I think that LINKS will get us by for such cases, and I will definitely NOT censor such links. Authors, however, are free to enforce stricter or looser LEGAL standards on their own threads. We’ve already had NXIVM tattoos and barely-covered Stormy breasts on here, and there WAS that HC porn tweet on the Ted Cruz account that made big news, and I would have allowed that tweet to be posted in a comment. People had to CLICK IT to SEE IT. That’s pretty much the same as a link, IMO.

What about plain old “people want to look at porn”? I’m not sure if that violates the terms of service for WordPress, but there is that to consider. As it is, I don’t think any of our authors are likely to start a porn thread, but if it happened, I would insist that it be clearly marked and NOT have a graphic featured image. I would actually prefer it be passworded, but not sure if I have that capability on this site. I’ve never really looked into that.

We will cross that HIGHLY UNLIKELY bridge if and when we come to it. Personally, I think porn threads would be highly unpopular here, if only because most of us know it’s a form of cultural Marxism.

What about graphic violence?

Honestly, this stuff is going to appear routinely in any Daily Thread in a world with Communists and Muslims, and there is little point in labeling these threads all NSFW, but I think that people CAN consider using links instead of images.

HOWEVER, I am NOT going to restrict such speech. In some cases, I may even encourage it, as TRAINING. I would prefer to simply let people FIGHT IT OUT over content, rather than impose rules. Indeed, I have not seen you good people fight enough with each other over content. I feel like a free speech drill sergeant with a bunch of raw recruits who refuse to ENGAGE in fighting drills. Y’all are gonna need some toughening up.

To me, beheading pictures and “little-girl-run-over-by-a-jihadist” pictures are exactly what is needed to make people WAKE THE FUCK UP about the reality of the Red-Green axis and why it needs to be shut down HARD, with various Clintons and Podestas in PRISON, and suffering as many riots, rockets, and false flags as it takes. I mean, seriously. Are you folks ready for a NUKE OR TWO to shut down the cabal? I’m not seeing it. If you aren’t willing to see NUKES GO OFF – probably false flags or psychological terrorist actions by THEM – nuclear 9/11 – in our fight to protect free speech, you’re not ready for this fight. You will WIMP OUT on 1A.

The WOLF will not wimp out on 1A, 2A, or any of the rest. If we push THEM into some kind of “sum of all fears” action, TOUGH. THEY pay for THEIR crimes.

NO. PRIOR. RESTRAINT.

In addition, analysis of FAKE graphic violence is KEY to stopping the censorship movement, as PALLYWOOD and KIWIWOOD have both demonstrated.

SO – expect bloody and lurid as we topple the FAKE WORLD that has been imposed on us. If you need to look away, look away. Nobody will blame you.

Wolves are cuddly, but only up to a point.

WordPress Back To Censorship

We need to WARN this community of (mostly) Americans, that WordPress is now enforcing PAKISTANI SHARIA LAW on American sites.

I kid you not.

This, my friends, is why GLOBALISM SUCKS and must be opposed until it is

GONE LIKE THE NAZIS.

Yes. The wonderful site, Creeping Sharia, that keeps NORMAL PEOPLE (not WordPress PROG COMMIES) informed about the advance of unconstitutional sharia law, has been SHUT DOWN by WordPress.

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/05/17/wordpress-com-blacklists-blogs-critical-of-islam/

The latest from Creeping Sharia on Twitter, where it has ALSO been repeatedly threatened and harassed by (at)JACKBOOT….

Or jump right to THIS RETWEET:

Here is an example of what used to be found on Creeping Sharia. There are a fair number of shapshots of Creeping Sharia on archive.fo if you check it out.

https://archive.fo/oJ25J/fdb6dc8e3e23b92f699a4ee5df823b44b20358a1/scr.png

Actually, Creeping Sharia wasn’t the only blog the Dhimmi Censors took out. The useful compendium Muslim Statistics was also banned:

Here is what THAT one used to look like, on the “About” page:

https://archive.fo/UpXLE/132837b57e491b6d7b8e425b304380cb94cd6629/scr.png

So WHO are these censors? It is a GLOBALIST company called “Automattic” that actually runs the WordPress COMPANY:

SO – what are WE going to do about it?

Well, one thing we are NOT going to do is SHUT UP.

Here is a tweet dealing with EXACTLY what was being used to PURGE Creeping Sharia:

The part that can’t show up is the link to the article that seems to be the “cause” of the ban:

https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2018/01/07/charlie-hebdo-3-days-that-shook-paris-video/


SO – I am already making plans to take this site elsewhere and from that location cause WordPress (and every single enemy of freedom) an enormous number of problems if we get booted. It will be fun, but it will be UGLY.

We do not give up our AMERICAN FREEDOMS without a FIGHT. And then we WIN.

W

PS – I encourage people to add to their comments all kinds of images, memes, and speech which – without violating AMERICAN Law – violate Pakistani Sharia Law in every way possible.

Safety & Security Sunday

While our Lion, President Donald J. Trump, fights for our safety and security here at home, the very same media that was fully outraged by (maybe) shootings in mosques in New Zealand is giving absolutely zero coverage of oppression on a scale we may find difficult to comprehend.

New Attack in Burkina Faso—Christians in Hiding, Schools and Churches Closed

A day after militants ambushed a church and killed six, another attack in northern Burkina Faso targeting Christians has left four dead, including a church leader. These attacks on the church in the West African country, as well as others in the last few weeks, have invoked a state of panic among Christian communities in the region.
:
In the last 12 months, the increasing violence across Mali and Niger, as well as Burkina Faso, has led to a five-fold rise in the displacement of the local population. More than 330,000 people have left their homes, in addition to 100,000 refugees —creating what some news outlets have called an “unexpected humanitarian crisis.”

https://twitter.com/winmatt53/status/1122296929122123777
trump-dark-to-light-removing-veil

What a marvelous mystery.  How can it be, for those who believe, that both our Nation’s security and the horrors endured by the persecuted church around the world, the path from darkness to light is the same? Prayer. Turning our hearts to God to find the courage to live true to our convictions and His leading.


“They called the apostles in, had them whipped, and ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus; and then they set them free. As the apostles left the Council, they were happy, because God had considered them worthy to suffer disgrace for the sake of Jesus.”

Acts 5:40-41

For the first couple hundred years of the Church the persecution was intense. There were no “career clergy” looking for a comfortable job with nice benefits. In fact, those dedicated to obedience to Christ in a leadership role were the first to be arrested. To be physically harmed. To be killed.

And so it is to this day in most of the world we live in. Even in America those who live by their convictions are the first to discover the cost of standing by them. And so we come back to our courageous world-changer President, Donald J. Trump.

He stands tall and fights even when he knows it’s placed him in danger of experiencing all of the above. Thank God for this man who lives by his convictions and is not afraid to enter into the battle space we find ourselves in.

Not only to fight, but to WIN a victory we all need dearly.

Stormy Sunday!

And yet very MOTHERLY MOTHER’s DAY

While the focus here may be on volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and weaponized weather, there is a cozy place to go where reflections on the incredible mothers and other significant women in our lives has been launched by none other than our own amazing Daughnworks247.
Join in the fun here: Happy Mother’s Day to Doctor Lynn and Miss Lily.

What in the World is Going On?

For many decades the U.S. Military has been seeking to understand how to weaponize the weather. A paper written in 1995, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, stated this in the abstract:

In 2025, US aerospace forces can ‘own the weather‘ by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.

A high risk, high reward endeavor, weather modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather modification offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. …

Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future.

It would be wise to keep our hearts prayerful concerning our world’s weather. Since the election of President Donald J. Trump, we have seen some extreme and even bizarre hurricanes, wildfires, and other phenomena that one can only hope were not expressions of unconventional and unusual covert warfare.


Psalm 29

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
A psalm of David:

Give Adonai his due, you who are godly;
give Adonai his due of glory and strength;
give Adonai the glory due his name;
worship Adonai in holy splendor.

The voice of Adonai is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
Adonai over rushing waters,
the voice of Adonai in power,
the voice of Adonai in splendor.

The voice of Adonai cracks the cedars;
Adonai splinters the cedars of the L’vanon
and makes the L’vanon skip like a calf,
Siryon like a young wild ox.


The voice of Adonai flashes fiery flames;

the voice of Adonai rocks the desert,
Adonai convulses the Kadesh Desert.
The voice of Adonai causes deer to give birth
and strips the forests bare —
while in his temple, all cry, “Glory!”

Adonai sits enthroned above the flood!

Adonai sits enthroned as king forever!

May Adonai give strength to his people!

May Adonai bless his people with shalom!


What Does This Mean?

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and extreme weather have always been given spiritual meaning by those affected by them. These forces, when experienced up close and personal have a way of bringing into clarity how very small we are.

And that is just about the time we begin to look beyond ourselves for something bigger, anything that can help us give meaning to our suffering and regain some sense of safety.


Revelation 16:17-21

The Message (MSG)

The seventh Angel poured his bowl into the air: From the Throne in the Temple came a shout, “Done!” followed by lightning flashes and shouts, thunder crashes and a colossal earthquake—a huge and devastating earthquake, never an earthquake like it since time began. The Great City split three ways, the cities of the nations toppled to ruin. Great Babylon had to drink the wine of God’s raging anger—God remembered to give her the cup! Every island fled and not a mountain was to be found. Hailstones weighing a ton plummeted, crushing and smashing men and women as they cursed God for the hail, the epic disaster of hail.


Not even insurance contracts are atheistic with their “Acts of God” exemption clauses. Right or wrong, is it any wonder that we blame God?

But things are likely far more nuanced than this simplistic perspective. There is also a reason for “Acts of War” exemption clauses and a reason why warfighters talk about collateral damage.

definition of collateral damage

A quick search at Qmap.pub on the keyword, “weather” appears to only have 3 hits, and most likely for all three the term weather is a euphemism for warfare activity. However, it would be interesting to review the weather conditions following this post last June.
Qmap.pub post 1448

What Then Should We Do?

Earth phenomena intrudes on the “just and the unjust alike.” May I propose that for those of us that are drawn to pray for peace for the people of the earth–especially in the context of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, extreme weather and related phenomena–that we learn to discern not only God’s heart, but also utilize available research material to develop our awareness of what is going on and how it all might be connected.
Image of slide showing 2 photos of toridal fields lines around a sun and a planet.
There is a large body of scientific work available for the curious mind–thanks to the internet–that past generations would never have had access to. And some citizen-analysts have used that access to not only become deeply informed, but to develop astute alternative working hypothesis about how things work, along with new predictive models. And–based on the push back–public access to their work might even be a threat to the controllers of the world.
As a prime example, may I recommend DutchSinse for not only big-picture, earth movement observations in near real-time, but also for his highly informed analysis.
https://twitter.com/dutchsinse/status/1125425034724556800
For almost a decade now Dutch has been finding correlations between not only solar activity and deep earthquakes, but earth movements and major wildfire activity, and also how deep earth movements lead to surface earthquakes with strong predictability, especially where there are breaks in the earth’s crust. He also gives basic disaster preparedness tips near the end of most of his videos. I find his passion for educating others along with his passion for accurate reporting of sensor data both engaging and entertaining.
If you would like to sample his work without taking up an hour or more for an entire video, the 8:30 min point on this May 6 video is a good place to start. Also, don’t forget, you can use the settings gear to change the playback speed to 1.5x (or higher). I often run his videos to the side of my main work so I can pay attention when I catch him saying something new or interesting about our earth’s current activity.

Apparently his observations make some of the FAKE SCIENCE shills uncomfortable. He’s had the typical harassment we have been seeing so frequently online including the demonitization of his YouTube channel.
I wonder who would NOT want us pray with understanding about what’s happening in and around our planet?

The Aggregation Scam: How a Trump Town was Tricked into Paying for the Green New Deal

I spent two days working on this post, and just trashed the prior, many-page version.

WHY, YOU MIGHT ASK.

Simple. Because I was beating around the bush. I was not getting to the POINT.

THE POINT: A town full of Trump-supporting Republicans in MAGA country was TRICKED into funding the GREEN NEW DEAL.

I don’t want to RAT OUT all the players here – but I do want the M.O. to be known to all of MAGA and the White Hats. Thus, I’m leaving things somewhat anonymous. But I am figuring that the White Hats and Trump administration will quickly figure out who I’m talking about.

A CASE STUDY by the GOP should prevent it from happening again.

It is probably too late for the Republican town in question. Residents of that city have THREE WEEKS LEFT to “opt out” of their aggregation scam. Most will not. The SCAM was successfully pulled off. A Republican city in the Trump-supporting rust belt is now going to pay for Soros-backed “green energy” with their (ultimately) higher energy bills. They will THWART the Trump agenda, HELP China, and very likely fall for the NEXT scam from the Democrats.

The great IRONY is that people voted for exactly the opposite. They wanted LOWER ENERGY BILLS, with some incidental support for “clean energy”. That is what it LOOKED LIKE when they were VOTING FOR IT.

AH-AH-AH! Wishful thinking! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU VOTE FOR, REPUBLICANS.

What they GOT – revealed in the FINE PRINT on the LAST PAGE of the FINAL NOTIFICATION – was 100% WIND energy, endorsed by a TIDES-FOUNDATION-APPROVED NGO in San Francisco, and – oh – it’s going to be somewhat cheaper because the whole city was forced into it.

THAT is your “aggregation” savings. The same savings that the Soviet Union got when they “aggregated” to a single version of every consumer product.

That is the REALITY of “aggregation” when the SOURCE (100% green energy) is LOCKED IN at the beginning of the equation (my guess), unbeknownst to voters. And the energy company – which obviously makes more money on people paying extra for “boutique energy” – is ALL IN on the scam.

How do I know that 100% Green New Deal energy was locked in from BEFORE THE INITIATIVE was ever sleazily (mis)represented to voters? FOLLOW THE CANDIDATES. This GND-supporting scam was planned LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENED, in my opinion.

See how that works? Technically, it’s ALMOST the same thing as what people THOUGHT they voted for, but there is a CATCH. It’s just a matter of PRIORITIES which were not spelled out clearly during the SALE. People ASSUMED that “cheaper” might have some chance against “greener”. But by letting people ASSUME that wrong idea, there was BAIT and SWITCH and here we are.

The voters of the city were SOLD on wording, repeated OVER and OVER, in a very particular weaponized order: cheap first and clean second. People ASSUMED that this meant something – that “cheap first and clean second” is what they were getting. That CHEAPER wasn’t necessarily subordinate to GREENER.

Never ASS U ME.

Sorry. Read the fine print. On the last page. Of the final notification. A month before people are automatically opted in. THEN – if you’re sufficiently suspicious of SOCIALISM – you might “do the math” and realize that it doesn’t add up for “cheap first and clean second”, which was merely implied and not STATED CLEARLY. No. It adds up for “CLEAN” FIRST and cheap maybe, which FITS THE WORDING LEGALLY.

It is “green energy” and then there is some savings because the whole city got roped into it.

CLEAR?

Trust me – this initiative could have NEVER passed if the people behind it had been completely honest and transparent about their intentions with the ENTIRE ELECTORATE.

The beauty of the scam is that people were TOLD what they were going to get, but careful wording and sneaky psychology were weaponized to let people imply things that were not actually true, and were never contradicted clearly. Cynically, there is likely no recourse, because I will bet the lawyers made sure it is all within the letter of the law. “By the book”, as OBAMA would say.

Socialists. I know we’re not supposed to hate them, but Lord, it is hard not to do it.

There is some possibility that a sufficiently smart CLASS ACTION SUIT might succeed in striking this down, but I’m not counting on it. Better to just WARN the Trump administration that THIS is how the Democrats are now fighting at the local level.

Of course, maybe the DOJ has something to say about this, too.

Yeah. SNEAKY DEMOCRATS. This is WHY scams work – because the MARK is afraid to go to the COPS on it. They all wanted SOMETHING FOR NOTHING – cheaper energy bills simply for a VOTE – and they got TAKEN.

Better, in my opinion, to LEARN from it – and make certain that Republicans realize a sad new truth:

“AGGREGATION” is CODE for “SOCIALIZED“.

Energy aggregation which is SECONDARY TO SOURCE is a TRICK to sell you on SOCIALIZED GREEN NEW DEAL ENERGY.

Now – I could go into the specifics of WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY. But rather than do that openly, I have decided that it’s better to let the WHITE HATS – and particularly the WHITE HAT LAWYERS and WHITE HAT POLS – take care of this one.

QUIETLY.

STEALTHILY.

CLEANLY.

Let me give people a HINT.

The problem is RADICAL RINGERS in CITY COUNCILS. I watched this one from the beginning, and it is CLOWNSVILLE, in my humble opinion. Something is very NOT RIGHT with how this happened.

There. Under 1000 words. Let’s hope that the RIGHT PEOPLE see this.

Thirty Days of Prayer

So many times when we read of the outrageous things certain individuals or groups have done to the harm of others or to threaten all that is good or right, our impulse is hate, anger and the desire to take strong action, to come to grips with “flesh and blood.”

The apostle Paul writes to the Ephesians a reminder that the evil we see is a manifestation of evil we can’t see, and we are to come to grips, in prayer, in that dimension, with the Lord’s strength, wisdom and power.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ephesians 6:10-12 (KJV)

We are also informed that the “flesh and blood” people that are manifesting the desires of the evil one on the earth have a problem. They are blind. Again, the strategy is prayer.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
2 Corinthians 4:3-5 (KJV)

And so it has been the practice of millions of Christians around the world to take 30 days each year–during the period set for special times of spiritual seeking and devotion by islamists–to pray to have the eyes of their heart enlightened and to turn to the true freedom found in the forgiveness of their sins and a real hope for eternal life in Christ.

This is what spiritual offensive moves look like. Taking on the source of the problem.

Coleman-Lozano Is Chicago Maoist Practice of Cloward-Piven Theory

TL;DR:

If you want to end the crisis at not just OUR border, but ALL borders, don’t just fight the THEORY of Cloward and Piven – fight the PRACTICE of Chicago Marxists Coleman and Lozano. It is time to bring the TRUMP DOCTRINE of ASSIGNED RESPONSIBILITY to CHICAGO, and then to THE WORLD.


Long Version:

Let’s talk about Glenn Beck. Yes – THAT Glenn Beck.

Yes, the intermittently lucid Glenn Beck who was against Donald Trump before he was for Donald Trump.

You may know him as “Cheeto-Face”.

I have to say – for a man who has unearthed SO MUCH amazing information about communist subversion, Glenn Beck understands almost nothing – PERSONALLY – about how to fight off communist discreditation. The man may be a great theoretician, but in PRACTICE he has the “situational awareness” of a toddler.

And that is exactly where I am going with this post – THEORY and PRACTICE.


One of the best parts of a “liberal arts education” – back when African Revolutionary Basket-Weaving As A Response To White Nationalism was a JOKE on campus, and not what might appear to be an actual CLASS, is that libertarian science-loving students like me were forced to read everything from The Bible to Mao Tse-Tung – as he was called back then.

Without getting distracted by what has happened to education on campus, let me talk about that little reading of CHAIRMAN MAO that I was forced to endure. Seriously, it was one of the best things I was ever forced to read. Dry as a bone, shockingly bureaucratic next to more “fun” authors, and absolutely the opposite of “rabble-rousing”, Mao’s essential work On Practice seemed very far from dangerous. Indeed, it advocated for exactly what I was learning in science – the virtue of empiricism and the importance of the feedback loop of REALITY to change THEORY. It wasn’t terribly profound – perhaps because I already loved BOTH the chalkboard and the laboratory – but it MADE SENSE.

Why is this important? – You might ask.

Back to GLENN BECK.

This YouTube video by Glenn Beck is ESSENTIAL STUFF. Don’t watch it YET – come back to it after I discuss it a bit more.

Glenn Beck, in one of his more LUCID moments, MANY years ago, taught me about Cloward-Piven theory – one of the most profoundly useful concepts in understanding and FIGHTING the strategies of modern communism.

Cloward-Piven is actually a very simple bad idea about intentionally cascading socialist failure of social support networks as a way of achieving socialist revolution. It’s a truly diabolical idea – it’s like saying “create rust to create more rust faster, until the part breaks”.

Um – yeah. Sounds like a plan. Maybe in VENEZUELA.

The idea – in one simple form – is to encourage over-reliance and over-enrollment in the social support programs of the Western welfare state, to make the welfare state stop working, so that eventually there is the massive level of CHAOS needed for real, Soviet, Maoist, hard-core, socialist take-over. It’s basically a way of “leaning in” to COMMUNISM.

You know – like VENEZUELA.

Now – here is where things get interesting.

Just like in good, honest science, the BAD SCIENCE of scientific socialism (which is what they sometimes call it) was able to learn – by kangaroo trial and bloody error – that the FEEDBACK LOOP of observing practice helped to guide NEW THEORY to continuously improve practice. This is Mao stating a rather obvious recursive correction to dopey, sad, millions-of-bodies-to-burn socialism, but in a way that was both cunningly specific and convincing to his fellow communists.

NOW – what Glenn Beck has demonstrated with his new video (and THANK YOU, Gail Combs, for bringing it to my attention) – is NOT ONLY that Glenn is LUCID AGAIN, but that he is ON THE MONEY as to where we need to be fighting. This is his Cloward-Piven warning again, but with LESS TIME TO ACT.

EVERY AMERICAN who cares about the future of this country needs to watch this Glenn Beck video.

You will get MANY great ideas out of this video. Here are just some of them.

  • the “immigration crisis” is the brainchild of Chicago communists
  • Soros money is behind this stuff ONCE AGAIN
  • Beck predicted where we are now – pay attention to the other details of his predictions
  • this is a WORLD-WIDE problem – “THEY” are using it everywhere to destroy national government as a concept
    • United States
    • Britain
    • Europe
    • Asia
  • the United Nations is heavily involved
  • a lot more – just watch the video

There are THOUSANDS of jumping-off points for me that Beck is showing us here.

The idea that a global crisis is coming through the commie bottleneck of Chicago is PROFOUND. But the fact is, the globalist socialists are “cascading failure” through migration almost everywhere around the planet that we look.

International cascading of failure through migration is a HUGE advance in the PRACTICE of Cloward-Piven over the original THEORY. They are using the “cheap solution” in one country (let our problems go) to destabilize another. And they are using ISLAM and the UN as co-conspirators very, very, very smartly.

Once you see that national short-term self-interest is made inherently mutually contradictory among nations through allowing emigration as a “fix” (see Mao’s book “On Contradiction”), then you see the immediate “set-up” for the “Global Compact for Migration“, which then serves to offer up “global control” as the solution to a problem caused by Communist fire-starting.

SMART and EVIL.

Note that the alleged “solution” [with a lovely Islamic star logo, too] is even worded “for” migration, because the same people allegedly offering to “control” migration cannot even dare to say ONE unkind word AGAINST it. AND – very important – it is absolutely clear to me that this “solution” has no intention of solving the problem, which was in large part foisted on the world by the very same people who allege to offer a fix.

SO – like I said – you MUST see this video.

And where does that lead us? Back to SUNDANCE.


Some people like to call what Trump does, to make people live up to their responsibilities, a kind of “Alinsky” technique – specifically Rule #4 of “Rules for Radicals”.

However, the exact same thing could just as easily be framed as an Old Testament biblical lesson about taking responsibility, and making sure that OTHERS do, too. I prefer the latter. Trump is getting SOLOMON on their asses, and it FEELS GOOD, MAN.

SO – my fix is simple. We need to start putting MEGATONS OF SUNLIGHT on the COCKROACHES who are causing the problems. And if that sunlight penetrates deeply, it is going to penetrate inside religious communities.

Now – before I talk about various coreligionists and other Bullwinkle-minded do-gooders who enable the migration nuttiness, we have to deal with the term “useful idiots“.

Christ himself instructed us not to call people idiots, even when they are. As this leaves us in a bit of a quandary with regard to the classic communist term “useful idiots”, we need a quality substitute. Therefore, I will use the term “lovable chumps“, which the reader is instructed to equate with the proper communist term “useful idiots”.

Wolf Moon, occasional lovable chump

Back to sunlight. We need sunlight on both the NASTY hardcore atheistic communists orbiting around and infiltrating the religious communities, as well as the NICEY-NICE communist useful idiot lovable chump collaborators inside the religious communities. We have to use SUNLIGHT THERAPY on the entire infection.

NO SMASHING OF COCKROACHES ALLOWED.

I want to be crystal clear about that. No violence. This is a PACIFIST EFFORT.

Pacifists against pacifists. Kinda like KRAKEN against KRAKEN. If you know the awesome bad movie to which I refer.

I happen to have multiple religious affiliations that are under a fascinating variety of “migrant-crazy” delusions. I see this stuff not only from the outside, but from the INSIDE. These migrant-crazy religious lunatics are kind, good-hearted, loving people – brothers and sisters – but they are easily FLEECED by true communists, both inside and outside their religious institutions. They are, quite literally, useful idiots chumps. They are very lovable idiots chumps, but they are idiots chumps all the same. And in many cases they are SMART DUMB USEFUL IDIOTS CHUMPS, if that makes any sense.

Kinda like that crafty toddler who figures out how to get a modern car into neutral.

It’s time for us to take the car keys and gently but firmly say “You can’t roll over your brothers and sisters in the driveway playing LET’S DRIVE MOMMY’S CAR.

We have to get this planet back into PARK on migration.


NOW, just because we are trying to STOP bad stuff, doesn’t mean bad stuff won’t happen, as we shed light on the communists behind this stuff. But it won’t be US doing it. It will be THEM.

We are dealing with COMMUNISTS, and these people are notorious for setting up and carrying out false flags. The people at the very center of this crisis – who have been pointed out so kindly by Glenn Beck – are THEMSELVES Marxists. They may or may not be of the self-hoaxing variety, but trust me – they have FRIENDS and ALLIES who are. Just think of third-generation red diaper hoaxer Jussie Smollett and Chicago, and you know what we are dealing with.

And the Jussie hoaxers are just the beginning. Add the murderous KGB-CIA Clowns, and our next VEGAS, SANDY HOOK, CHARLESTON, CHARLOTTESVILLE or PARKLAND will likely be of the “immigrant” variety. I’m just warning you now.

I would be remiss if I didn’t let you know that I have detected real Clown and Five Eyes activity in the “migrant crazy” religious community. I believe they are fighting dirty, too.

And then there is THIS – which likely has a lot of bearing on the LAS VEGAS MURDERS.

Are you with me? Good. If we are going to CONFRONT the useful idiots lovable chumps, we need to be as CLEAN as they are. But THINGS COULD STILL GET ROUGH. I anticipate some long nights deconstructing and debunking false flags.

The commies are THIS | CLOSE to getting what they want.

Yeah, maybe so. But WE have something they don’t.

DISCERNMENT. Discernment that is a GIFT from GOD.

Let’s use it.

With DISCERNMENT, it’s NOT EVEN FAIR.

UPDATE

I wrote this post a few weeks ago and put it on hold. I am choosing to finally post it NOW, because I have just noticed, thanks to a comment by our own FLEP, that our VSGPOTUS is launching an ingenious action against the agendas of Cloward-Piven and Coleman-Lozano.

The shooting at the synagogue in Poway has interesting details
that we might want to keep discussing as we ponder
the aims, successes, and yes, failures of the puppet masters
behind these despicable attacks.


Synagogue First Responder


Combat Vet Who Stopped The Synagogue Shooter: ‘I Scared The Hell Out Of Him’

Rachel Stoltzfoos | Staff Reporter at DailyCaller.com

The man who fired a semi-automatic weapon inside the Chabad of Poway synagogue in San Diego on Saturday froze, dropped his gun and sprinted to his car when he saw Oscar Stewart come barreling toward him, yelling so loud the priest at a neighboring church could hear.

“Get down!” Stewart yelled, according to his wife and others who were at the scene. “You motherfucker! I’m going to kill you!”

Others who were there later told him it sounded like four or five people were shouting. He thinks maybe an angel was standing behind him and speaking through his voice. When the shooter ran, he immediately gave chase.

Stewart, 51, told The Daily Caller on Sunday he doesn’t remember any conscious thought from the moment he heard the gun shots until it was all over — he just acted on instinct to stop the shooter and prevent him from leaving so he couldn’t hurt more people somewhere else. The Iraq combat veteran said his military training kicked in.

“I knew I had to be within five feet of this guy so his rifle couldn’t get to me,” Stewart said. “So I ran immediately toward him, and I yelled as loud as I could. And he was scared. I scared the hell out of him.”

Stewart served in the Navy in explosive ordnance disposal from 1990 to 1994, then enlisted in the Army in 2001 because of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

“Looking back, it was kind of a crazy idea to do, but I did it.” He was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and left the military in 2004, as a staff sergeant. He’s now in construction work.

When the gunman opened fire, he was in the back of the synagogue. By the time he got to the lobby, the shooter had killed one woman, blown the finger off of a rabbi, and injured two others.

“I heard gunshots,” Stewart said. “And everybody got up and started trying to get out the back door, so I — for whatever reason — I didn’t do that. I ran the other way. I ran towards the gun shots.”

“When I came around the corner into the lobby area, I saw the individual with a gun, and he fired two rounds. And I yelled at him and I must have yelled very loud, and he looked at me, and I must have had a really mean look on my face or something, because he immediately dropped his weapon and turned and ran. And then I gave chase.”

Stewart said he chased him all the way out to his car and began pounding on it — the shooter had managed to lock himself in. When Stewart saw him reach for a rifle, he punched the side of the car as hard as he could, intending to figure out a way to drag him out of the car. That’s when a Border Patrol agent who attends the synagogue came running out to the parking lot, yelling for Stewart to get down because he had a gun.

Stewart says this man may have saved his life and pointed to his use of a civilian’s gun as evidence that gun control isn’t the answer to these kinds of tragedies. Stewart was off-duty and was apparently handed the weapon by someone else on the scene.

“It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun,” he told the Caller.

The agent fired several rounds into the lower part of the vehicle, intending to disable it, but the shooter managed to drive away. The two of them then grabbed a phone from someone and called the police to report his license plate. The shooter later turned himself in.

After he sped off, Stewart ran back into the synagogue and found a woman he knew, 60-year-old Lori Gilbert Kaye, unresponsive on the floor in the lobby. He began CPR and continued trying to bring her back to life as a couple of doctors arrived and began to assist him. She didn’t make it. The two had talked occasionally, and he remembers her as a passionate and kind woman.

“She had different political views, so we had interesting discussions when we talked,” he said. “We didn’t just talk about the weather. It was kind of cool. She was a very loving woman.”

Stewart considers her the real hero. Eyewitnesses said she jumped in front of the rabbi to save his life.

“People in the aftermath here have been saying it’s important to be strong and defend ourselves. I also think it’s important to know that being strong and defending ourselves requires a lot of sacrifice too.”

“I don’t know if I consciously made the choice to potentially sacrifice myself,” he added. “But I did. And this lady, she stood and she jumped in front of the shooter and she saved the rabbi’s life. When somebody said I was a hero, I’m like, she was a hero. I just did it instinctively, like an animal. There was no conscious decision. I just did it.”

He may not call himself a hero, but Stewart believes his actions effectively stopped the shooter. He doesn’t think reports of the shooter’s gun jamming as the reason he fled are likely to be true, because he was using a semi-automatic rifle. “Full automatic weapons will jam,” he said. “Semi-automatic weapons do not jam.” He thinks maybe the shooter had emptied his magazine. Whatever the case, the shooter let the slung weapon drop and fled.

“He was in the act of shooting when I saw him,” Stewart said. “When I yelled at him he turned and looked at me, and he like froze. And then the look on his face was one of amazement at first, and then one of fear. He saw me coming, and I was ready to do whatever I had to do to stop him.”

For his part, Stewart doesn’t attribute the shooter’s actions to a larger agenda and was reluctant to connect him to a larger political context. He doesn’t blame President Donald Trump and expressed hope that people don’t try to blame anyone else for the man’s actions. “He was an individual acting alone,” he said.

“If you’re ignorant and you don’t know what people are like, you don’t know that I’m a person just like you. I go to work every day in a manual labor job. I’m not some, you know – supposedly he said in his manifesto that the Jews control this and that — I don’t control anything. I go to work just like you every day. He didn’t know that.”

“If he had gotten to know me, he would know that I’m a great person, that I’m a nice guy, that I’m a very caring person,” he continued. “My apprentices — they all love me. They say that I’m the best teacher in the world, you know, that I care, that I try to teach them, and if he had known any of these people, like the lady Lori who died. She would go give Easter baskets to kids and that’s not even a Jewish thing, you know. … She was just a warm person.”

If anything’s to blame, he says it’s social media and the increasingly disconnected world we find ourselves in. “The whole media thing — people don’t get to know people, and they get to sit in a cocoon, and sit and make opinions on what somebody writes. It’s not good. We need to interact more.”

“The most important thing I want to share is that we need to know each other,” he said. “If you make an opinion on anyone, you need to know what they’re about, and who they are. You can’t generalize and say every blue person is evil because they’re blue. That’s ridiculous.”

The funeral service for Kaye is on Monday. He expects the synagogue will be totally packed.

POWAY, California — Jonathan Morales, an armed off-duty US Customs and Border Patrol agent who recently discovered his Jewish roots, was among the worshipers at Chabad of Poway on Saturday when John Earnest entered the synagogue near San Diego during Passover services and began shooting.
The 19-year-old gunman killed Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60, and wounded three people: Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, 8-year-old Noya Dahan and her uncle, Almog Peretz.
“Morales recently discovered his Jewish roots. He would travel three and a half hours from [the California town of] El Centro to pray with us at our shul,” Goldstein told media at a Sunday press conference outside the synagogue. “He felt this was his house of worship. And many times I said, ‘Jonathan, you work for the border patrol. Please arm yourself when you are here; we never know when we will need it.’”
US President Donald Trump spoke with Goldstein on Sunday and took to Twitter to praise the rabbi and Morales, writing: “He may have been off duty but his talents for Law Enforcement weren’t!”

As for why there weren’t any active duty guards at the synagogue, in an earlier interview with CNN Goldstein said, “Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford to have an armed security officer at every service, so whenever we had extra help, we were grateful for it.”
In a moment that Goldstein referred to as “miraculous,” Earnest’s gun jammed, and congregant Oscar Stewart, a 51-year-old Army veteran, and Morales attempted to subdue the gunman. Morales was also able to open fire and give pursuit.

After Earnest fled the building, Morales followed in his own vehicle and shot and hit Earnest’s car. Earnest soon turned himself in to law enforcement.
On Sunday, Goldstein, his two hands in fresh blue bandages, gave a detailed recounting of Saturday’s harrowing shooting in Poway, a suburban town just north of San Diego.
“I was preparing for my sermon, I walked out of the sanctuary and into the lobby and I saw my dear friend Lori Kaye,” said Goldstein. “I walked into the banquet hall to wash my hands, walked two or three footsteps and I heard a loud bang.”
That bang was the sound of the first shots fired by Earnest, a college student who entered the Chabad House undetected amid a flow of mourners who were gathering for Yizkor, the traditional memorial service held on the final day of Passover.
“I turned around and saw something indescribable,” Goldstein continued. “Here is a young man standing with a rifle pointing right at me. He had sunglasses on. I couldn’t see his eyes, I couldn’t see his soul.”
The rabbi said that when he saw the shooter he initially froze, then raised his hands to cover his face. Two of his fingers were blown off; one was reattached by surgeons at Palomar Medical Center in San Diego late Saturday.
Gilbert-Kaye, whom relatives and friends on Saturday described as a woman of unconditional love and unbounded generosity, was the only fatality of Earnest’s mass shooting.

Goldstein took several minutes to thank San Diego County law enforcement and to praise the wellspring of warmth and support that the local community has offered in light of the tragedy.

A chain of miracles

In a remarkable series of events, the rabbi and a handful of congregants were able to save a group of children playing in the adjacent banquet hall, preventing a full-fledged massacre.
“I ran [to gather the children],” Goldstein says. “My granddaughter, who is four and a half years old, saw her grandpa with a bleeding hand. She saw me shouting, ‘Get out! Get out!’ She didn’t deserve to see her grandfather like that.”
Aided by Peretz, an Israeli war veteran who was also at Chabad of Poway with his family Sunday, Goldstein was able to usher the children out of the banquet hall with the shooter in pursuit.
But in what Goldstein referred to as a “miracle,” Earnest’s gun jammed. Even while Morales was still on Earnest’s trail, congregants — who had been gathered in the sanctuary and would have made easy targets for Earnest had his gun not jammed — fled to Chabad’s front entrance.

Goldstein’s hand was bleeding badly and his two fingers were dangling by cartilage. “I grabbed a prayer shawl,” he said, wrapped his wounds, and stood on a chair to address his congregation.
“I said, ‘I gotta do something,’” he said. “I said to our congregation: ‘Am Yisrael chai [The People of Israel live]. We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall and we will not let anyone or anything take us down.’”

Farewell to an ‘angel’

“Lori took the bullet for all of us. She died to protect all of us. She didn’t deserve to die,” Goldstein said.
Gilbert-Kaye was one of the congregation’s oldest and most devoted members, the rabbi told media. A former employee of Wells Fargo, she was instrumental in helping Chabad secure the loan for the building in the early 1990s. She and her husband Howard were so close with the rabbi and his wife that two weeks ago they flew to New York City for Goldstein’s youngest daughter’s wedding, and danced together with the bride.

Her generosity and kindness was lauded on Sunday by Roneet Lev, who was at the Chabad of Poway to mourn. Lev described herself as Kaye’s best friend.
“Lori Kaye is an angel on this planet,” Lev said. “She’s touched many lives in her own life. Not just in this community but throughout the entire world.”
Describing a woman who always carried gifts cards and greeting cards to offer as presents and who would regularly purchase extra coffees and donuts for homeless people on the street, Lev explained that Kaye was at Chabad of Poway to say the first Kaddish mourner’s prayer for her mother, who had recently died.
Kaye’s daughter Hannah lives in Los Angeles and had driven down to be with her mother for the service.
Lev offered hope and optimism as she spoke of her friend.
“Even in this horrible, painful event, we know good will come out of it,” Lev said. “Lori is known for bringing out the good in people. And look at these flowers. Look at this law enforcement. Look at the good people of San Diego. Lori is now bringing them together.”
