Jesus is Lord Today & Every Day

Hi Q-Tree this is a super quick post in case Carl is unable to post his usual Sunday teaching & encouragement. Per reports on sister blogs, Sylvia’s at least, Carl is pretty sick with Covid & needs our prayers.

So no matter what is swirling around us, or within us, Jesus is Still Lord…

Here is a site that has compiled a number of Bible verses that expound on Jesus as Lord:

https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/jesus-is-lord-bible-verses/

Here is another teaching, in its entirety, from this site:

https://www.christianity.com/jesus/is-jesus-god/names-of-jesus/what-does-it-mean-to-call-jesus-lord.html

What Is the Real Meaning of “Jesus Is Lord”?

In the New Testament, Lord is the most frequently used title for Jesus Christ. Although we rarely use this term in our daily lives, we are all quite familiar with another word: boss. That is basically what Lord means—one possessing authority, power, and control. The Word of God describes Jesus as the head of the church, the ruler over all creation, and the Lord of lords and King of kings (Col. 1:15-18Rev. 3:14, 17:14).


Jesus is Lord:
 Scripture Meaning

Following the resurrection, the term “Lord,” being applied to Jesus, became more than an indication of devotion or respect. Stating, “Jesus is Lord,” became a way of recognizing Jesus’ divine standing. 

References of Jesus as Lord started with Thomas’ declaration when Jesus arrived at the apostles after His resurrection: “Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’” (John 20:28). From thereafter, the message of the Apostles was that Jesus is Lord, signifying that “Jesus is God.” 

Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost carried that idea: “Let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah” (Acts 2:36). Peter later declared this in the house of Cornelius, stating that Jesus is “Lord of all” (Acts 10:36).  It is important to note that in Romans 10:9 Jesus’ lordship is connected to His resurrection: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

The declaration “Jesus is Lord” indicates that Jesus is God. Jesus holds “all authority in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18). He is “Lord of the Sabbath” (Luke 6:5); “our only Sovereign and Lord” (Jude 1:4); and “the Lord of lords” (Revelation 17:14).

What Makes Jesus a “Lord”?

The realm of Christ’s reign covers everything that happens in heaven and on the earth. No one—not even those who deny His existence—can be free of His rule or outside His sphere of authority. Although Satan tries to convince us that liberty is found in doing what we want, true freedom is acquired only through submission to Christ’s loving lordship.

Even death cannot release anyone from the authority of God’s Son. He is Lord of both the living and the dead. All people must decide to either yield or rebel against Him, but they have the opportunity to make this choice only while they are still living. After death, they will acknowledge Christ’s lordship through accountability to Him. If we have not bowed the knee to Jesus in life, we will be forced to bend it in the judgment.

Have you submitted to Christ’s rule over your life? His authority causes anger or fear in individuals who have not yet yielded to Him, but those who have experienced His loving kindness trusted in His goodness and surrendered to His authority take comfort in knowing Him as the Lord of their lives.

Taken from “Lord of the Living and the Dead” from In Touch Ministries (used by permission).

These are long days of darkness & often despair, but we who know the Lord need fear no evil for the Lord is with us. He has promised never to leave nor forsake us, which is a great comfort in times of tremendous turbulence. So as we keep fighting the good fight let’s continue to look to the Lord, the author & finisher of our faith, our soon coming King!

May God Bless YOU Richly, Today and Always. In Jesus’ Love, Valerie

So, I sat through all two hours of the debate amongst the Republican primary candidates, although I was very irked by Larry Elder’s absence. Having said that, he didn’t miss much. It was like watching a junior high school debate, complete with the cool kids asking stupid questions and the geeks fighting on the stage. I hated every minute of it, thought it was embarrassing for all involved, and found it insulting to the American voters.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

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. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

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. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

The Ruling Class Sits atop a Boiling Pot

Whatever else you might think about our current historical moment, one observation is inescapable: rage is in the air. And how is the ruling class responding? Instead of turning down the temperature under a boiling pot already spilling over, it is frantically pressing down an iron-laden lid and hoping the pressure won’t build. The vast majority of Americans believe that their elections are tainted by fraud, but the ruling class chooses to see nothing. Rising political dissent is met with government-engineered censorship and false imprisonment. Popular opinions against illegal immigration and unnecessary wars and for energy independence and less government regulation are entirely ignored. The people’s wants and needs are scorned, while the unaccountable bureaucracy imposes its will upon the unwilling. Just as every other deposed ruling class has done in the past, our ruling class has chosen to stand on top of the lid barely containing society’s boiling pot of passions, buoyed by the false notion that raw force will make that pot less likely to explode.

PSALMS 113:1-8

1Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! 2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore! 3From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised! 4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! 5Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, 6who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth? 7He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

LUKE 1:26-38

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For with God nothing will be impossible.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Dear KMAG: 20230821 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,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


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.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

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


Word of The Week:

listless

adjective

  • Lacking energy or disinclined to exert effort; lethargic.
  • Characterized by a lack of energy or interest.
  • Having no desire or inclination; indifferent; heedless; spiritless.

Surprising etymology

From Middle English lystles, equivalent to list (“desire”) +‎ -less. Compare German lustlos and Dutch lusteloos (“lethargic, listless”). Doublet of lustless.

Used in a sentence

“….because if you’re not rooted in principle – ah – if all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow – you know – whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning – that’s not going to be a durable movement.”

Used in a tweet

Compared to the word “deplorable”

Note how the reference to “Truth Social” was skillfully removed in Community Notes to make sure that DeSantis’ meaning was portrayed as “not about Trump” – when it clearly was. What the heck is happening at “X”?

Nothing that a bit of music can’t help us get through!


How about some vocal and orchestral epic?

Heck – let’s try some orchestral Western, too!

And maybe a string quartet, Bluegrass-style?


No breathers allowed in local politics.

Fortunately, there’s still time for a brief stop in here.

What’s shocking is how much national politics filters down into state and local politics. People are worried about big national ideological issues causing friction at our level. Sometimes the friction is there – sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s an inch away from all hell breaking loose. But this is where the reality happens, and trying to solve that reality for the best effect is HARD.

I must thank DePat, Steve, Carl and TradeBait for carrying the weight of authorship, and everybody else for bringing the news. God bless you good folks for what you’re doing. Your carrying the load is helping me carry the message.

2023·08·19 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

A Caution

Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.

State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.

Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!

Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.

Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit

…we can move on to the next one.

Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.

Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.

Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!

It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.

In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.

Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Watch Me Pull A Rabbit Out Of My Hat

Last week we left off showing that it’s possible using the Maclaurin series (a special case of the Taylor series) to compute sines and cosines of angles. The closer the angle is to zero, the easier it is to do.

Technically you don’t get an exact answer unless you run the series out forever, but you can typically get acceptable precision in just a few terms.

Here they are, sine and cosine:

sinx = xx3/3! +x5/5! – x7/7!…

cosx = 1 + –x2/2! + x4/4! + –x6/6! + x8/8! +…

But if you recall, from way back, there is another such series for the exponential function, i.e., ex.

(It’s so much nicer when I can find an image of a properly typeset formula, ain’t it?)

Can We Tie Trig and Exponentials To Each Other?

Take a really close look at these three formulas. Compare like terms…and by that I mean x3 in one formula should be compared to x3 in another, and so on.

You’ll notice that the formula for ex contains terms for every power of x. Sinx, on the other hand contains only the odd-power elements, and cosx contains only the even-power elements.

It’s almost as if you could somehow combine sine and cosine to get the exponential function.

But if you add the sine and cosine functions together you get this:

sinx + cosx = 1 + xx2/2! – x3/3! + x4/4! +x5/5! – x6/6! – x7/7! + x8/8! +…

Well…it’s almost right. Except for one rather awkward problem. The terms have two positive signs, then two negative signs, then two positive signs, then two negative signs. and so on, whereas the exponential series has nothing but positive signs.

And you can’t fix this by subtracting cosine from sine (or vice versa), thereby flipping some signs, because some of those errant negative signs come from sinx and some from cosx.

For example:

sinx – cosx = -1 + x + x2/2! – x3/3! – x4/4! +x5/5! + x6/6! – x7/7! – x8/8! +…

You still have an alternating sequence of two positive numbers then two negative numbers, then two positive numbers, and so on; you’ve just shifted where the pairs of negatives and positives are in the sequence.

So what looked like something that would have been a really cool way to tie trigonometry to the exponential function, fails.

Tying Up A Loose End

I mentioned here: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/06/24/2023%c2%b706%c2%b724-joe-biden-didnt-win-daily-thread/ that complex numbers, i.e., numbers of the form a + bi, where i is the square root of -1, could have all sorts of things done to them, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division…and you could even raise other numbers to complex powers. I said that last part, but then I said I’d have to talk about it some other week.

Well, this is that week.

Nothing says that the x in the Maclaurin series has to be a real number.

So why don’t we plug a complex number into the Maclaurin series for ex to see what happens?

Well I can tell you beforehand what will happen if we plug a + bi into it…we’re going to have to square that expression, then cube it, then raise it to the fourth power, and the fifth, and we will have a gawdawful mess on our hands very, very quickly.

But really, that would be a chimpanzee move.

ea+bi, after all is ea x ebi. By splitting it up this way, we can handle the two pieces separately and then (at the end) multiply them together. We already have a handle on ea but we should check on ebi since the power we are raising e to is an imaginary number. So let’s set ea aside (but we will not forget it’s there).

Using the ex Maclaurin series:

…and setting x = bi, we get:

ebi = (bi)0/0! + (bi)1/1! + (bi)2/2! + (bi)3/3! + (bi)4/4! + (bi)5/5! + (bi)6/6! + …

This doesn’t seem to do much for us; you could put anything in for x and you will be raising it to all those powers. But i has a very interesting behavior when you raise it to successive powers, and we can use that here:

i0 = 1, i1 = i, i2 = -1, i3 = –i, i4 = 1, i5 = i, i6 = -1 i7 = –i ….

In other words it goes through a 1, i, -1, –i cycle, over and over again. So we can go back to the expansion above and replace all of the i-to-the-somethingth powers with the appropriate value (and do more simplifications….0! is defined to be 1, and any number raised to the 0th power is also 1). Also, when we do this if there is an i or –i we’ll bring it to the front.

ebi = 1 + ibb2/2! – ib3/3! + b4/4! + ib5/5! – b6/6! – ib7/7! …

Now some of the terms have i in them and some do not, which makes this the epitome of a complex number. It’s a little hard to deal with this in this form, so let’s collect all the real terms together, and all the imaginary terms together–like we would for any complex number. We end up with the sum of two series:

ebi = 1 – b2/2! + b4/4! – b6/6! + … (first series)
+ ibib3/3! + ib5/5! – ib7/7! + … (second series)

And we can factor out the i from the second series:

ebi = 1 – b2/2! + b4/4! – b6/6! + … (first series)
+ i (b – b3/3! + b5/5! – b7/7! + …) (second series)

Does anything look familiar?

I ask again, DOES ANYTHING LOOK FAMILIAR?!?

It better.

The first series is the same as the expansion of cosx from earlier, except of course it’s on b instead of x. Makes no difference. They’re the same.

The second series, moreover is i times the sinx series from above (again with b substituted for x).

In other words, switching back to x:

eix = cosx + isinx.

Well, well, well. We can connect exponentials and trig functions after all! We just needed a bit of (I can’t resist) imagination, taking the exponent of an imaginary number and getting a result that has both a real and imaginary component.

This is known as Euler’s equation, after Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) who first noted it. Euler is arguably the greatest mathematician that ever lived though he has plenty of stiff competition from others.

It would be hard to overstate the importance of this result. It underlies much of physics, and is all over the place in electrical engineering.

And yet you never hear about it in the popularizations of science (well, not until now).

This is largely because, in order to get here, you need a pretty solid advanced math background. Or someone who’s willing to skip over a lot of formal proofs as he presents it to you. Most math educators won’t do that, and rightly so. Mathematics education relies on proving everything along every step of the way. It’s bullshit-free, everything is proved based on what comes before and you don’t have to trust the perfessor or take his word for anything. And here I am giving it to with little in the way of proofs and enough hand-waving that I am raising myself off the floor from flapping my arms so hard. (As such, if you find this interesting, I ask that you at least ask someone else with the right knowledge if it’s true. DO NOT just take my word for it. Better yet, take a bunch of math courses.)

Putting It Back Together

But there’s one little detail that must be dealt with. We got here by trying to raise e to the a+bi power, and we set aside the ea that we must multiply ebi by. So let’s put them back together.

ea+bi = eaebi = ea(cosb + isinb)

But now, the last thing should remind you of something. (Though this time I will not jump on the table and yell that it should do so.)

It looks a bit like how you convert polar to rectangular coordinates.

<r, θ> = (rcosθ , rsinθ)

And if you consider your rectangular coordinates to be complex number in a complex number plane, you get:

<r, θ> = r(cosθ + isinθ)

So another way to represent ea+bi is:

ea+bi = <ea, b>

I’ve said before that the angle brackets < and > are not standard mathematical notation. I just use them as a visual cue that the coordinates are polar coordinates. Mathematicians generally don’t bother with that, they just use parentheses for both cases. But sometimes (actually rather often) they will write polar coordinates like this:

<r, θ> as: re

(And need I remind you: the angle must be expressed in radians. e will give you the sine and cosine of θ, but only if θ is radians. Another reason why mathematicians prefer radians.)

A Maximally Geeky Bonus

What if θ is π? (I.e., what if θ is 180 degrees?)

The sine of π is zero. The cosine of π is -1.

So if eiθ = cosθ + isinθ, and θ = π, then eiπ = cosπ + isinπ = -1 + 0.

eiπ = -1

Adding 1 to both sides we get:

eiπ + 1 = 0

Note the beauty of this. It contains all three of the numbers I introduced you to, e, π, and i, plus the numbers 0 and 1–which I sure hope I did not have to introduce you to (though maybe some reader of this took woke mathematics and got to hear about “saving the planet” instead of actual math).

Arguably these are the five most important numbers in mathematics, and one formula ties them together, and no other more mundane number appears in the formula.

This is known as Euler’s identity, and it’s a favorite. There’s absolutely no way anyone can see this intuitively, no way to see that e, i, and π should be related to each other in any way, much less all three of them directly like this.

And yet they are. And much of our modern world depends on this crazy little fact.

JOSHUA 24:1-13

1Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before God. 2And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, `Your fathers lived of old beyond the Euphra’tes, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods. 3Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac; 4and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Se’ir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. 5And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in the midst of it; and afterwards I brought you out. 6Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. 7And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time. 8Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan; they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. 9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and invited Balaam the son of Be’or to curse you, 10but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand. 11And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you, and also the Amorites, the Per’izzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Gir’gashites, the Hivites, and the Jeb’usites; and I gave them into your hand. 12And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. 13I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you dwell therein; you eat the fruit of vineyards and oliveyards which you did not plant.’

  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.

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


Word of The Week:

starboard

noun, adjective

  • The right-hand side of a ship or aircraft as one faces forward.
  • Nautical that side of a vessel which is on the right when one faces the bow: opposed to port (larboard). See port.
  • That side of a vessel which is on the right hand of a person who stands on board facing the bow; — opposed to larboard, or port.

Used in a sentence

“On this fascinating ship of political fools, beware RINOs off the starboard bow, coaxing us toward various rocks, while never forgetting the wise navigators astern, keeping us on the straight and narrow path to freedom and victory.”


Time for some classical.

And maybe some classic country, too!


The battlegrounds are shifting now. The establishment game of endless division is clear. I’m learning a LOT about how politics is mainly about perpetuating politics. However, I believe that WE THE PEOPLE have ways to cut through that and find American unity. I’m excited.

I miss being here with you all. I now realize that I’m YEARS ahead of the people around me, because I had this resource of honest people speaking honestly. Please continue to cherish each other. This is a great place. I can feel the cost of my absence to my own understanding, and I will have to do something to make sure I have more time to be here.

And yes – I STILL hope that every one of you is STILL having a great summer!

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.

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.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

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. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

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, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5

1I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. 3For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. 5As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.

MATTHEW 5:13-16

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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

>>148156518
Amen brother.

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