The petty totalitarians have moved from a marathon’s pace to a sprint not because the finish line is just ahead, but because too many ordinary people have begun to figure out what is going on around them. The left has been slowly herding Westerners like a flock of sheep to a pen down the road, but now the sheepdogs have begun nudging the herd toward a different direction. In the process, it appears that there are a lot more sheepdogs hiding among the sheep than anybody ever knew. That is a problem for the wolves who have assumed that they could lock everyone into a new cage and begin feasting without a fight. The wolves have become visibly authoritarian because unexpected resistance has made them foolishly desperate.

VERY interesting. Remember what I posted the other day, how Trump NOW has standing. This adds to it and SO MUCH more. I know it sounds out there, but if you think about it, THIS is really why these people HATE Trump. He is or HAS returned our sovereignty.

MUST WATCH: Pres. Trump Amplifies Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes’ Claims in Truth Social Post – Suggests Space Force Has Evidence of 2020 Election Fraud: “Trump Knew if He Presented Any of the Goods Early On, We’d Have a CIVIL WAR”

Yeah you heard that right, according to this it all goes back to the 1871 act that established the US corp. Biden is the HEAD of that Corporation, based in DC. Trump abolished it, (via EO September 12, 2018) and then went to 2/3 of what Q called the pyramid. That being the Pope (Catholic Church), and the Queen of England, and informed them of such.

No WONDER the UK was so tied to the Russian Hoax, they must have, in spying on Trump, LEARNED what he was actually going to do once in. Trumps first term was about setting the groundwork and preparing the US with a robust economy. The gold STANDARD was coming back. Just as DP here and others have discussed. (NESARA)

Now, it ALL makes sense. Trump had to be stopped. He was for the Constitution Republic of the US AS FOUNDED The Uniparty is for the US Corp.that has bled us ALL dry since 1871.(Treaty of Washington) Kind of explains the disconnect in DC, AND why they ultimately wanted to get Trump on trial in DC (control) it would be like Hitler trying Roosevelt in Berlin.

It also explains the J 6th trials, Essentially, DC and the Uniparty are acting extra Constitutionally, outside of it. Like it, and all the rights it entails are suspended. They are very literally fighting for their lives.

Trump, if this is true, really WAS the last US president, he ABOLISHED the US Corp that he was the head of before that EO. He THEN became the US Constitutional President, the FIRST since 1871.

It explains WHY Biden has not (cannot) undo those EO’s. He IS the US Corp President, but he is the head of a DEFUNT organization that really did execute a coup de tat on Nov 2020, and has been usurping the seat of power since. Trump IS the President of the US Constitutional Republic.

I sure HOPE and PRAY that this exposure leads to SCOTUS, and the SCOTUS is still on the side of the Republic.

This REALLY seems to be a WAR hidden in plain sight between the US Republic, and the defunct US Corp (AKA the Uniparty). It also ties nicely with the WEF and all that crap, AND why they were so able to perpetuate the Covid and Covid vaccine frauds so easily. The WEF, and Uniparty are ALLIES.

Now if that is true then that explains The Uniparty, NATO, and Ukraine going SO hard after Russia. Methinks Russia, who may not truly be on the US Constitutional Republic’s side, is definitely NOT on the WEF and Uniparty side.

Ukraine MUST hold some secrets the WEF and Uniparty DO NOT want out. Biolabs, money laundering, and human trafficking perhaps?

Now if Putin KNOWS what the Uniparty is, what Trump did to abolish them, AND what is in Ukraine…OH BOY. No wonder these guys are all in for WW3.

One thing is certain, the lines ARE being drawn. Sides ARE being chosen for what appears to be THE big SHOWdown.

Here is to hoping that the USSF is NOT compromised and IS going to lead the charge. Trump was adamant about forming them, and then super funded them.

This, were we not actively living it, most assuredly would be unbelievable and a movie that would put the best Tom Clancy novel to shame.

Oh, and BTW, Trump gave a shout out for ALL to check out the linked video on his Truth Social. Preparing the audience for the Aria?

Can’t specifically link quotes right now, but if the Corporation is done….

We Are Beyond Seeing the Strings, We Are Looking at the Puppeteers’ Hands Now

Badlands News Brief – August 7, 2023

Our financial system is not lawful and is not designed for supporting all people; it’s designed for supporting the economic elite, and only those elites who are allowed or used in the service of the globalist parasites. That is to say, we don’t have an economy, we have a global weapon of parasitic banker overt control.

The truth is, money as we know it today was designed by insidious globalists to destroy local economies and force the local citizen to enslave themselves through market forces and economic influences. In this system, employment numbers are important because these translate directly to jobs created by the globalists to support the globalists, by and large. Of course, there are exceptions, but even a non-globalist business has to operate on the globalist plantation that we call the general economy, having to compete against globalist supported businesses that cheat, manipulate, and play unfairly. Thus, no matter how you shake it, everyone is in some way operating within a system that supports the globalist agenda. Thus, the only real solution is to create a better space, a citizen-excellence-first economy space, where operating thereon generates benefits for all freedom loving people—not just parasitic globalists.

13“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men. 14“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Dear KMAG: 20230807 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – 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/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Word of The Week:

deranged

adjective

  • Disordered; especially, disordered in mind; crazy; insane.
  • Disturbed or upset, especially mentally.
  • Insane.

Used in a sentence

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., slammed former President Donald Trump’s legal defense in his criminal case over the 2020 election as “deranged.”

Used in a Truth Social post

“Do you think that A.G. Garland, and Deranged Jack Smith, understand that we are in the middle of a major political campaign for President of the United States? Have they looked at recent poll numbers?” Trump wrote.

Used in a theory

I’ve been wondering why Trump keeps referring to “deranged” Jack Smith, when the history of John (his real name) Smith shows no indication of ever being deranged in any way, or even having ever been a mental patient, unstable, etc.

And yet – well – when this allegedly sane person Jack Smith read off the weird crap charges against Trump, with utter seriousness, he sounded to me like a nutcase.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

I believe that Smith is an “MK ULTRA” subject, and that Trump is hinting at this. It is my contention that MK ULTRA leads to a variety of forms of brain damage, as side effects of the process of mental manipulations.

Among the people who I suspect have been conditioned by MK ULTRA (see many earlier posts), for a variety of purposes:

  • Whitey Bulger
  • Robert Mueller
  • Loretta Lynch
  • Merrick Garland
  • Christine Blasey “Two-Door” Ford

Whitey Bulger was likely used to test MK ULTRA’s capacity to carry out murder.

Robert Mueller’s sad dementia and wrecked brain seem very post-MK to me. Recall Mueller’s close relationship with Bulger during Bulger’s work as an “informant” who was murdering other criminals (likely under MK ULTRA).

Merrick Garland likewise shows damage from tampering, IMO.

Loretta Lynch had nearly complete amnesia about critical events when she had to testify. IMO she would pass a lie detector test about any items in her “selective memory” – because of MK ULTRA.

Christine Blasey Ford is a powerful example of the derangement resulting from MK ULTRA. She is a human puppet who can be made to say anything. Clearly this is “deranged”.

I believe that MK ULTRA was used to take over DOJ. “They” literally brainwashed critical people in DOJ and FBI.

Bottom Line:

Jack Smith is “deranged” = brainwashed = MK ULTRA

Dear KMAG: 20230731 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – 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/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

I love the way his “round up” verb doesn’t have an object. That’s very important. The object could be anybody. Very important to remember.

As I see politics more up-front and personal, but also PEOPLE, I’m seeing where things are both breaking and healing, and it’s hard for me to communicate the hope and frustration.

I also see the specialness of this place, and how the world needs more of what we have here – a kind of deep honesty without prejudice (used in all senses of the word).

7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

MATTHEW 13:18-23

18“Hear then the parable of the sower. 19When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. 20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

2 CORINTHIANS 4:7-15

7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So death is at work in us, but life in you. 13Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we too believe, and so we speak, 14knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

PSALMS 126:1-6

1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! 5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! 6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

MATTHEW 20:20-28

20Then the mother of the sons of Zeb’edee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; 28even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Word of The Week:

Dunning–Kruger effect

noun

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

Link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Graphical display

Explanation of graph

People are actually fairly good at estimating relative abilities, but they are not as good at estimating actual abilities – and the fit is increasingly bad at lower abilities, where people overestimate their own competence.

The effect is commonly used as a justification of authoritarianism by leftists and elitists, and as an argument in favor of the anti-popular positions of scientism.

In words

“The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know.”

“The less you know, the less you know that you don’t know.”

Relevance

There is a fake news site that exists for the purpose of fooling conservatives, and thereby discrediting them in the eyes of everybody else. As a form of insult to its victims, this website calls itself the “Dunning-Kruger Times”.

LINK: https://dunning-kruger-times.com/garth-brooks-booed-off-stage-at-123rd-annual-texas-country-jamboree/

While the Dunning-Kruger Times (DKT) website claims that its stories are satire, the stories are always remarkably unfunny, and IMO are clearly not intended to be funny.

They are intended to be believable.

True satire sites of a similar nature typically run stories which slowly increase the level of absurdity until the reader recognizes hyperbole and begins to get the joke. These sites can be incredibly (no pun intended) funny, and have often had me breathless with laughter.

DKT never crafts funny satire. The goal appears to be to get reasonable people to see the story and recognize that the story is reasonable, likely to have occurred, and affirming of conservative values. The stories are easily posted to social media. The trouble is, the stories are never true.

As I have said, the stories are discrediting of whoever posts them, and many famous conservatives (Gov. Greg Abbott and Juanita Broaderick, most recently) have been fooled.

The stories are ALMOST libelous, but under the cover of satire, they remain protected and legal speech. Moreover, because the false allegations are very plausible, the accusations anticipate likely real positions by the people who are libeled, and are thus unlikely to be argued against.

It is my belief that these sites and stories are the work of the 3-letter agencies and/or the DNC, both as a psychological operation against Americans, and in particular as a way of discrediting those who would be expected to post or “like” the stories on social media.

For example, Juanita Broaddrick posted this valid tweet, showing significant public sentiment in favor of country music artist Jason Aldean.

Shortly thereafter, she was apparently misled into posting this tweet.

She also posted this tweet.

Notice how the regime media then amplifies the outcome, by pushing the semi-libelous article onto Broaddrick and not onto the DKT.

LINK: https://www.tmz.com/2023/07/22/blake-shelton-jason-aldean-controversy-fake-article-satire-site/

In my opinion, Broaddrick was the victim of a disinformation operation.

The good news is, Juanita Broaddrick just keeps fighting. She doesn’t lose heart because the other side got in a couple of sucker punches.

Personally, I think that the DKT needs to be investigated all the way back to their (IMO) CIA, big tech, or DNC roots.

DKT is a discreditation site – a psy-op – and NOT a regular satire site.

For your enjoyment, some MORE country music!

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21

14For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
