MARK 1:21-28

21And they went into Caper’na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. 22And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; 24and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

Placeholder or not…you decide. Took a few days to recharge.

Elon bought Twitter, created a sanctuary for free speech, cultivated an environment that gave rise to citizen journalism, and now “alternative media” is DOMINATING legacy media in the information space.

Every Deep State play is getting called out in real time, before the MSM can even establish a narrative. By the time they attempt their spin, citizen journalists have already exposed it and disseminated it around the world.

Their theatrics and deception have lost their potency. They lack the raw speed that social media enables, juxtaposed to archaic TV/Newspaper media. They simply cannot keep up against millions of citizens operating as a unit.

Now that citizen/independent/alternative journalists have established their validity in the public space by being right EXPONENTIALLY more often than the MSM, every new Deep State hoax is another opportunity for the citizen intelligence apparatus to expand our influence and wake up more normies.

In addition, their attempts to maintain power have become increasingly more blatant, making our jobs that much easier. The more they struggle, the tighter the noose gets. They are running out of plays, and the clock is ticking.

TL;DR: We are winning and the Deep Stare are f*cked.

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.

The Deep State’s Attempt to Destroy Elon Musk

FEC Complaint Filed Against DeSantis Campaign and Super PAC for Illegal Coordination

Whatever. He needs to take his high heeled boots, and beat it.

Tweet hopper:

X Has Already Won Elon Musk closed the acquisition of Twitter, now X, in October of 2022. Once that deal was closed, a bunch of advertisers left the platform out of fear of their brands being impacted by the new “Freedom of Speech” rules that X was looking to implement. The premise was that ads would be shown next to content that advertisers don’t want to be associated with, and because X would now allow more “improper” content, the chances of having a negative ad experience could increase. After leaving the platform for a few weeks, almost all advertisers have come back, albeit with lower ad spends. However, earlier this year, X gave guidance that the platform is near cash-flow neutral, minus debt obligations. This means that even though the platform has suffered losses in terms of ad revenue, the company is close to being self-sufficient. In other words, no outside cash has to be brought into the company to keep it alive, as long as the trend continues. Fast forward a few months, and after controversial comments made by Elon and an effort by Media Matters to encourage advertisers to boycott the platform, advertisers left again. However – just like the first time, after a few weeks, advertisers are beginning to come back. There’s confirmation that Netflix has started to spend ad money on the platform again, and per Elon at his recent conference in Italy, advertisers are beginning to come back to the platform en masse. I think all of this points to something quite clear – the Overton Window is beginning to shift, and with it, a massively profitable endeavor for advertisers. For those that are not familiar, the Overton Window is a term used to express what is “acceptable” to be discussed in a given time period. If you compare what is acceptable to be discussed on X today, vs what was acceptable on Twitter pre-acquisition, you can very clearly see that the “acceptable” topics are much more diverse and plentiful. This means that the Overton Window has shifted. Another example of this is also on YouTube. A few days ago, Mario hosted a space with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, and other folks discussing Alex’s reinstatement and a bunch of other topics. These topics pre-acquisition would not be admissible under Twitter’s former rules. What’s really interesting is that after making this edited content available on YouTube, YouTube has a) not taken down the content from the platform and b) allowed monetization on the content. This implies that advertisers are now becoming comfortable advertising on content that they weren’t comfortable with in the past. What does this mean for X? It’s quite simple – X’s willingness to stand for Free Speech, even when the CEO makes statements that cause the business to temporarily lose revenue, is creating a brand new market for advertisers that previously did not exist precisely due to an unwillingness to embrace Freedom of Speech. And because X’s entire approach has been to uphold Freedom of Speech and accept the repercussions that come with it, the platform has positioned itself as the premier place for content that will be generated on this principle. This same content is a market that advertisers have had 0 access to in the past because of the unwillingness of platforms to embrace Freedom of Speech, and the skittishness of ad agencies to sully their brands with controversial topics. On top of this, it’s a market that is untapped, which will generate billions of views, and billions of dollars, for creators and advertisers alike. I do not suspect we’ll see another advertisers boycott in the future because of this dynamic. There’s way too much money to be made, and now that the Overton Window has shifted to where the “public” is now “comfortable” with listening to dissenting and controversial opinions, advertisers will be tripping over themselves to advertise on X over the long term. In my opinion, people respect the notion of being allowed to think for themselves, and because this has been subdued for far too long, there will be an avalanche of interest for content that is specifically challenging and controversial. Ultimately, this will be massively profitable for advertisers due to the engagement and attention it’ll receive from the public. I posited when Elon bought the platform that X would win if they could make Freedom of Speech profitable, and I think we’re starting to see glimpses of this being the case.

Just to clear the air in the middle of deliberate confusing of affairs….

Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

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.

LUKE 1:5-25

5In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12And Zechari’ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; 15for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, 17and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli’jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 18And Zechari’ah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 20And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21And the people were waiting for Zechari’ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. 23And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. 24After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, 25“Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

Per the Boss:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, 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

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

MATTHEW 11:28-30

28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

I sang that for a jury in college.

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

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Dear KAG: 20231206 Open Thread

This is a Wolf Moon Emergency Wednesday Post. You ain’t gonna get the usual stuff.

This is a perfect opportunity for me to address this whole question of QAnon, Trump, “a pause” and the existence/nonexistence thereof, “The Plan”, etc.

Try to imagine a continuum of infinite dimensions (that would be reality per se) but let’s watch it progress in one particular dimension (“time”) with all possible states moving forward.

The socialists have a vision for how this should happen. The forces who backed Trump have a different vision. Blah blah blah. You all know all this stuff.

The Trump years (2016-2020) were obviously characterized by the leftists, globalists and their allies doing everything in their power to resist movement in a Trump direction (“America First”), but also by a lot of great things happening, and our learning the REALITY of how they actually worked.

There are other agendas layered into that whole conflict, which have goals in different dimensions, but you understand that.

To me, “the pause” is code for Trump accepting his bogus electoral loss and ending the brief advance in an America First direction. Whether it was a mutual decision with the deep pro-Trump forces in the military and civilian government or not, Trump clearly didn’t have the stomach for a civil war. At some point, a decision was made somewhere, not to push “a return of honest government” any harder than they did. It probably would have turned into something that only the evil would have benefited from, IMO.

Yet you will notice what 3-4 years has bought us – a new position – wiser, savvier (IMO), and with massive discreditation of the opposition. The enemy at the highest levels has had to openly call for assassination of Donald Trump, through the evil Kagan, husband of the evil Nuland, and clearly connected to the highly discredited CIA. They’re that beside themselves.

I am one who has no problem maintaining long-term realistic optimism against extreme short-term negative realism (I don’t use the term pessimism, because it tends to be unreasonable). Time is the gift from God that allows a gradient of wonder to be created. He sees it, and it is good – by definition. Accepting the GIFT of time is not a problem for me.

I have FAITH in our MOVEMENT toward increasing TRUTH and defined (though sometimes conflicting and ill-defined) GOOD. I hope that you do, as well.

I believe that Q provided helpful guideposts for us, from the viewpoint of a small group within the military which has an excellent understanding of the big picture. They are not so much in control, as in understanding of controlling things. They do have control of certain things I choose not to talk about, though the other side looks desperately for them, and that is why I choose not to talk about these things. But most of the things the Q folks seem to have, are understandings of what is inevitable, and what is not. Some of that is reflected in the Q posts.

Think of a big chess game, with two players following rules. Add many, many players, add even more rules, and add possibilities to cheat, but also add emergent realities that cannot be cheated.

THAT is the game in play. THAT is the level of “control” that people have. And for the very smart people behind Q, that level of “control” is more than enough to taunt the enemy, to encourage down-hearted people on our side, and to give oxygen to our movement.

Yes, there was a kind of pause – we all know it. The advance under Trump has been “paused” by conceding our righteous turn, to a horrible administration called “46”, which came between 45 and 47.

I am not afraid to have faith in what comes next. ALL of those infinite possibilities in those infinite dimensions, advancing in that one dimension called time, are fine with me – precisely because of my faith in God.

I hope that all of you find, strengthen, and renew that faith. God bless you all!
