The Scouring of the Shire.

Reading and reflecting on Tolkien’s final chapter in The Lord of the Rings might help us place ourselves at this time. Fandom tells us: “Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin arrive in the Shire to find that things are not as they once were when they left. The Shire is now run by Sharkey based at Bag End, who with Lotho‘s help had taken over with his band of Ruffian Men. The four hobbits collect as many allies as they can and defeat his army of Ruffians at the Battle of Bywater. The Hobbits then confront “Sharkey” and the lowly Gríma Wormtongue at Bag End, who both meet their demise.”

So, while the noble hobbits had been off saving all of Middle Earth, the “commies” had set up shop in their homeland and caused great harm that will require bravery, wisdom, and a lot of work to undo. It appears that we are somewhere around the beginning of the Battle of Bywater now.

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1



We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?

Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. God will guide us.

Thanks be to God for our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.


The Role of County Government in Elections.

Take a good look at that 2024 Election Map. See the outline of each county?


How Does This Work?

Let’s take a look at what the National Association of Counties (NACO) has to say

When trying to understand how to get traction locally in turning the tide for liberty, it seems to come down to the governance at the county level. And from what is being turned up with the groups I’m following, it looks a lot like there is state level and national level collusion to influence or control the governments of those 3,069 counties that are responsible for overseeing our elections. I’ll get into those details in another post.

Reading that overview from NACO, they start out by stating:

Elections in the United States are administered in a highly decentralized process through which each state shapes its own election laws

Well, mostly. The states shape their own election laws, but, as with anything else, federal laws also impose requirements on state and local governments. Maryland’s State Board of Elections gives a helpful overview of these major federal election laws here. The most recent election-related law passed by Congress is known as HAVA.

  • Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002
    This law was the U.S. Congress’ response to the 2000 Presidential election and the first time that the federal government authorized federal funds for election administration. It created the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and set minimum standards for voting systems. It also required each state to adopt uniform standards on what constitutes a vote, implement provisional voting, post certain information at polling places, maintain a statewide voter registration database, and required certain individuals to show identification before voting.

Sounds good right?

Except. There are county elections officials are not following the laws, and yet are still taking the federal money to buy their electronic voting machines. If they didn’t follow the federal laws, then taking that money anyway would be fraud, right?

Thankfully, there are Americans that have stood up and gotten to work discovering and working to address the failures of our elections officials across the nation. I’d like to highlight one citizen oversight group that has done much with an all-volunteer organization.

We want valid elections that are run in full compliance with the law.

I strongly encourage you to watch this short video of a presentation by Marley Hornik of United Sovereign Americans. She goes over the legal framework for election integrity, starting with the constitution and provides the statute citations that must be enforced if we are to have free and fair elections. She also covers what they found when they audited the voter rolls of just 20 states prior to the 2024 election. They found over 29 MILLION apparently ineligible voter registrations, 10 million votes cast by those ineligible voters, 2 million more votes cast than voters that voted, and an average 13% vote error rate. Every invalid registration is potentially a felony level violation. Their organization is litigating with states over their failure to clean up the rolls and unlawful certification of non-compliant elections. They have a good strategy for which states to sue in order to potentially cause a circuit split which could get this heard at the Supreme Court without having to sue all 50 states. Or better yet, maybe the Department of Justice will just do their job.

Presentation by Marley Hornik of United Sovereign Americans
On the Status of our Nation’s Elections (for video click here)

The United Sovereign Americans Action Plan includes (1) informing everyone of election validity law, (2) turning findings into evidence, and (3) forcing election officials to obey the law.

Unfortunately, election officials across America have displayed apathy, disdain, and disregard for the law, and the civil rights of the people they are hired to serve. This has resulted in the certification of elections that varied from the law. Some of these elections were grossly inaccurate. Whether it was incompetence or malfeasance, those who broke the law must be held accountable.

Thank God for their work. May many more Americans join them in their efforts.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250204 ❀ Tuesday Placeholder ❀ Thank You, American Air Travel

We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.

Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.

Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.

Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Addendum: Some Details

First of all, the boilerplate.

By reference, I call to incorporate the rules spoken of in any of Deplorable Patriot’s recent posts, such as her final one.


With that settled, I reiterate……

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday.

Your submissions only need to be scheduled at 12:01 AM on Tuesday.

The titles need to include the following:

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread YYYYMMDD ❀ [whatever you want after that]

There is no commitment to do this every week. But if you want to do a Tuesday post, just let me know in advance.

We do have a very thin guideline post of basics in the sidebar, shown here:

Looking forward to somebody picking up DePat’s Tuesday sword.

Addendum: An Open Letter In Praise of the American Air Travel Industry

This is just a quick message of THANKS to some people who are sadly undergoing a lot of scrutiny and criticism right now, and who surely could use an “attaboy” and some “kudos”.

You see, sometimes – including recently – I have had to deal with “foreign” airlines of various kinds.

Foreign airlines can actually be quite excellent. Some of them are charming. Some of them are extremely enjoyable to fly on. Some of them are very attentive, and can really help make a trip overseas quite memorable. There are several foreign airlines that I love for different reasons.

HOWEVER.

If you deal with foreign airlines long enough, you are bound to run into their dark and highly inefficient sides. They will sometimes do stuff that just boggles the mind.

In particular, their technology is usually just problematic. Or to be fully honest, it sucks. Big-time sucks.

  • websites will crash
  • websites will drop your session and forget you were ever there
  • representatives will put you on hold and lose your call
  • the company will forget to bill you
  • flights will simply disappear from itineraries
  • picking seats will cause itineraries to malfunction
  • calls to customer service will cause itineraries to vanish
  • confirmation numbers will vanish
  • the same data will have to be “saved” over and over again – and then gets lost anyway

I recently had to deal with an airline that was absolutely no problem the last two times, during the last several years – but THIS TIME – OMG – what an absolute disaster. Dozens of hours arranging things – lost. KAPOOF! Gone. Vanished. So call customer service. Get it all fixed. Everything done. Waiting for the bill. No bill.

And then it all just disappears again.

Just an absolute waste of my time.

SO – because I was short on time – I decided to try something different. I attempted to re-book the trip using an American airline company.

The experience was just overwhelmingly positive. I managed to get almost the entire itinerary of foreign flights that we had before – but this time, everything went perfectly, and we were done in minutes, not hours. No tech errors AT ALL. Billed immediately. All the minor things we needed – DONE.

The websites functioned perfectly. All the international bullshit – DONE.

After all the CRAP we had put up with, it was a PLEASURE dealing with American airline tech – which could sell us foreign flights better than the foreigners could sell them to us.

So I just want to say THANK YOU to the American air travel industry for restoring my faith in air travel. Y’all done good!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread Thursday 20250130


Welcome.
Please visit this January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.


Header Image: 2024 Presidential Election Map by County

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

These are the kind of powerful words that motivated America’s founding fathers to create the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1

It is going to require a decision on our part to “stand firm” and “not submit again” before we are going to begin to take this seriously. But we have the help of God and the intensely determined support of our President, his team, and untold numbers of our fellow citizens.



We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?

Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. Are we to pray? Of course. Are we to vote? Absolutely.

But we know there is much to do and not all is certain. We might find ourselves asking, “What am I to do in these amazing days of transformation?” God will guide us.


Priorities.

The Trump-Vance Administration Priorities page @ WhiteHouse.gov provides us with the eagle’s eye view of where we are going. Notice the order of these priorities. Safety of the people first! May the Lord grant us wisdom, strength, and good success.

MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN

  • President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities.
  • This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.
  • President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration.
  • The President is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources.
  • The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
  • President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
  • The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.

MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN

  • The President will unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals.
  • President Trump’s energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers.
  • President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure.
  • President Trump’s energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.
  • President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
  • All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living.
  • President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy.
  • America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

  • The President will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced.
  • President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission.
  • President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.
  • President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.
  • On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.

BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES

  • The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.
  • American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.

Trying to Keep Up.

This page @ WhiteHouse.gov/news is a great place to follow along as everything begins to unfold. Every executive order shows up instantly and they just keep coming.

So much there: Articles. Briefings & Statements. Fact Sheets. Presidential Actions. Remarks.

A big Thank You to all the team serving in this administration!
And an even bigger Thank You to our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.

Very recently I finally began to read in the X.com space. The platform is suspicious of me and therefore I do not have an account. Probably due to the basic efforts I’ve made to retain some level of privacy. Oh well.

The kind people here have shown me the way to view people’s feeds by using the Nitter.Poast.org site. It’s opened up a whole new world of information. Very helpful.

I have a new favorite follow. And I recommend her to you. Nicole Shanahan. She was RFK Jr’s running mate. She’s as informed, active and feisty as they come. Nicole Shanahan‘s feed is following the Senate confirmations and a LOT more.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250129 Opinions & Notes on the Medical Cases of Susie Sampson and Gail Combs.

At this point I can see at least three possible causes of Susie’s illness:

* Covid vax shedding,

* A bad and lingering case of the flu or

*Walking pneumonia

*I also think there is a fourth cause that I am seeing and many are missing. Permanent damage from covid/shedding that flares up when your system is stressed.

….

I started poking around the internet at about the same time Wolfie did. At the time I was not aware that “Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 [2009 Swine Flu] and A(H3N2) were the predominant viruses reported the week… ending January 11, 2025”CDC

THE FLU

H3N2 Flu Symptoms

No matter what strain of influenza is circulating each year, you need to know what to expect from the flu. H3N2 virus infection usually lasts between five and seven days but can cause a severe cough that lasts up to three weeks. Whether it is caused by H3N2 influenza A or another strain, typical flu symptoms include: …

H3N2 is one subtype of the influenza A virus that often causes significant illness. Flu seasons are often more severe when H3N2 is the dominant strain causing illness.

So one possibility is a lingering flu. However it should not be hanging around for months.

……

WALKING PNEUMONIA

What is walking pneumonia?Mayo Clinic

“Walking pneumonia” is an informal term for a common bacterial condition. It produces milder symptoms that appear more gradually than in other types of more serious pneumonia. Symptoms usually appear within two to three weeks of becoming infected and can continue for weeks. A cough could continue for months….

With walking pneumonia, you may feel like you have a cold. But symptoms are usually mild, so you likely won’t need bed rest or a hospital stay. You may not feel the need to stay home from work or school. So you may be out walking around. That’s how the illness got its name…

So a second possibility is an opportunistic bacterial infection that invades a weakened system.

…..

VACCINE SHEDDING

I am going to quote our resident expert, PAVACA on this.

[QUOTE]

PAVACA(@pavaca)  January 28, 2025 12:53 … #1404674

WOLF MOON —

Endless Thank You’s for today’s post. I don’t think this was an easy one to write.

I will weigh in with my thoughts:

IMO, our good DePat was a “sitting duck”, in some ways, for what I firmly believe was being terribly negatively affected by COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding.
— She was, for the last 18 months or so (perhaps longer), the caregiver for her late mother (who herself passed away from cardiac complications from the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” doses that she had taken);
— During this period, and after her mother’s death, DePat took over the household work and responsibilities that her mother had done (cleaning, cooking, shopping, etc.)
Because of the above, IMO, there’s a good chance that her natural immune system was getting hammered on a regular basis.

— She also had to keep up a demanding professional schedule as a vocal soloist in her choir. This also meant doing daily vocal practice at home.
— She lived with other COVID-19 “vaccinated” members of her family (father and at least one brother.)
Because of the above,since there is a 99.999% likelihood that the other members of the choir were also COVID-19 “vaccinated”, she was potentially exposed to COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding on multiple occasions.

That leaves what happened to her on / around 17 November 2024 at choir rehearsal. This is the rehearsal where DePat was beside a choir member who had just been “boosted” with COVID-19 “vaccine” shot #4.

Many of the symptoms that DePat described about her condition after 17 November match those found in the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section of this report about BNT162b2, given to the FDA on 30 April 2021: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf
For examples: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (page 2 of the Appendix 1.); Cough (page 3); Inflammation (page 5).

But I will posit that there’s something else in play here: the LIPID NANOPARTICLES in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” — the chemical compounds that carry the “payload” of the modRNA to every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body — and are ALSO carried by the EXOSOMES in the “vaccinated” person’s body to places like the SKIN and onto the BREATH.

These LNPs are TOXIC and DANGEROUS. They were formulated so that the “vaccinated” person’s body either doesn’t recognize and destroy them; or, that the “vaccinated” person’s body DOES recognize them but can’t eliminate them.

Now, here’s the thing:
It’s now DIFFICULT to find complete MSDS Safety Sheets for the ALC-0159 or for the ALC-0315 lipid nanoparticles used in the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” One used to be able to see complete MSDS Safety Sheets on these compounds. Not now. In fact, Yours Truly has found multiple chemical company supplier websites stating that “customers must call for further information”; and, even “this information is not available to the general public. It is only available to the FDA.”

For example, the MSDS Safety Sheet information for ALC-0159 and for ALC-0315 by Cayman Chemical now has THIS for Section 4 of the MSDS for EACH of these compounds (below is for ALC-0159; for ALC-0315 it is the same):


HOWEVER, Yours Truly downloaded the MSDS for BOTH ALC-1059 AND for ALC-0315 back in 2023, BEFORE this 2024 revision was done. Here’s the Section 4 for ALC-0159 FROM 2022 (the Section 4 for ALC-0315 from 2022 is the same);

What I’m getting at here is that, IMO, our good DePat WAS COVID-19 “vaccine” shed upon by that choir member in November 2024; that she immediately began to have “Long COVID”-type effects from it; that the modRNA that was shed on DePat from the COVID-19 “booster shot” that the choir had just had ALSO contained the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315, which then also shed onto DePat; and that a cascade of negative effects took over.

Below is a paper that describes the pro-inflammatory effects of the LPNs in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”;

I want to take a look at this paper PAVACA pointed to because I think it is KEY:

Pro-inflammatory concerns with lipid nanoparticles”

The development of ionizable cationic lipids has been a pivotal factor in the clinical success of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-RNAi (Onpattro) and the two LNP-mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna).1,2 The ionizable cationic lipids demonstrate improved efficacy and safety compared with the permanently charged cationic lipids.1,2 
👉However, acute side effects such as pain, swelling, fever, and systemic inflammatory responses have been reported in many human subjects receiving LNP-mRNA vaccines.👈
Although these vaccines use N1-methyl-pseudouridine-modified RNA (which is poorly recognizable by the Toll-like receptors 7/8), it is not clear how these vaccines elicit reactogenicity, but this presumably indicates that LNPs have intrinsic adjuvant activity.3 Infusion-related adverse effects have been noted in up to 19% of patients receiving Onpattro….

….Considering the rare episodes of human anaphylactic reactions following LNP-mRNA vaccine administration,6 we cannot disregard a role for a subset of monocytes and dendritic cells in orchestrating these responses. Extensive studies are now needed to map the interactions between ionizable cationic lipids and intracellular pattern-recognition receptors and unravel integrated and multifaceted mechanisms by which these lipids induce inflammasome activation. Such information would be valuable for identification and tailoring of lipid-based adjuvant and delivery systems and for generating diversified portfolios of vaccine components and platforms to provide immunity in specific target tissues….
The success of LNP-based vaccines has prompted a surge in overenthusiastic research focused on the broader application of LNP-based nanomedicines.2 👉Considering the pro-inflammatory nature of the currently available ionizable cationic lipids,4,5 notably their undesirable immune cascade initiated through the IL-1β release, and of other cationic lipids,7 the potential application of LNPs for systemic administration must be viewed cautiously.👈 This is important, particularly when targeting biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier with intravenously administered LNPs for the intended delivery of nucleic acid medicine to brain parenchymal cells to combat neurological diseases and disorders, which could initiate severe inflammatory reactions in the brain either directly or through monocyte recruitment...

DEFINING TERMS

Reactogenicity

Reactogenicity represents the physical manifestation of the inflammatory response to vaccination, and can include injection-site pain, redness, swelling or induration at the injection site, as well as systemic symptoms, such as fever, myalgia, or headache.

Anaphylaxis

 Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. It can happen seconds or minutes after you’ve been exposed to something you’re allergic to.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an exaggerated defense response of the body to a noxious stressor (infection, trauma, surgery, acute inflammation, ischemia or reperfusion, or malignancy, to name a few) to localize and then eliminate the endogenous or exogenous source of the insult….Even though the purpose is defensive, the dysregulated cytokine storm can cause a massive inflammatory cascade leading to reversible or irreversible end-organ dysfunction and even death.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) happens with repeated symptoms of anaphylaxis – allergic symptoms such as hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and severe diarrhea….

Reactive macrophage activation syndrome in a patient with parvovirus B19 infection, lymphocytic lichenoid vasculitis, urticaria and angioedema

Introduction

A 47-year-old woman had a history of episodic acute intermittent angioedema and urticaria with moderate pruritus for one month. She was on 10 mg of loratadine daily. She had a fever of 39°C, arthralgia, fatigue, and angioedema of the upper respiratory tract. Laboratory results are shown in Table 1. She had elevated IgE (206 kU/L). The immunoassay for C1-esterase inhibitor was normal. She was treated with H1- and H2-blocking antihistamines, and methylprednisolone intravenously (1 mg/kg/day). Culture results and viral titers were negative except for a high positive titer of specific IgG antibody to parvovirus B19 of 11.1 (positive titer >1). On the third week of hospitalization, she deteriorated rapidly and developed a macular rash on the trunk and extremities with generalised lymphadenpathy, liver dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) (Figure 1). A skin biopsy specimen was compatible with lymphocytic lichenoid vasculitis. An inflammatory pattern centered on the basal layer of the epidermis and upper dermis in a dense band-like distribution. Direct immunofluorescence showed no IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C1q and fibrinogen deposits. A bone marrow aspirate showed hemophagocytosis (Figure 2). Parvovirus B19 DNA was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bone marrow (Figure 3). Macrophage activation syndrome was confirmed. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone 250 mg/day intravenously and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 0.55 g/kg BW/day for five consecutive days, followed by methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg daily. Fresh frozen plasma and enoxaparin were administered. Two days after treatment, she improved. Monthly infusions of IVIG were continued for 6 months. Corticosteroids were tapered gradually to 8 mg of methylprednisolone daily. On periodic follow-up, the patient was quite well without episodes of angioedema and no new skin lesions were seen. Our patient met all criteria for reactive macrophage activation syndrome (rMAS) outlined by Imashuku.

Useful definitions before we dive into a couple of papers on this subject:

Presynaptic Neuron – an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

As a convention, the neuron transmitting or generating a spike and incident onto a synapse is referred as the presynaptic neuron, whereas the neuron receiving the spike from the synapse is referred to as the postsynaptic neuron.

Hematopoiesis 

Hematopoiesis is the process through which the body manufactures blood cells…. Hematopoiesis is the production of all of the cellular components of blood and blood plasma. It occurs within the hematopoietic system, which includes organs and tissues such as the bone marrow, liver, and spleen.

Refractory chronic urticaria

Urticaria is a mast-cell-driven disease characterized by the development of transient pruritic wheals [hives] with or without associated angioedema [sudden swelling of the deep layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues]… Chronic urticaria (CU) is defined by the presence of recurrent urticaria, angioedema, or both, for a period of 6 weeks or longer..

And now another paper:


Antihistamine: New Advancement in H1&H2 Receptor used for Pregnancy

ABSTRACT

…This study shows that H1 antihistamine therapy alone is not statistically better to combined H2 and H1 antihistamine therapy for the treatment of chronic urticaria symptoms. Histamine has been one of the biological amines most extensively studied in medicine. It encourages the contraction of smooth muscles and the release of stomach acid, enhances vascular permeability, functions as a neurotransmitter, and has a range of actions in the control of the immune system, allergies, inflammation, haematopoiesis, and cell division. Histamine works by attaching to the H1, H2, H3, and H4 receptors. H3 and H4 receptors are predominantly presynaptic and haematopoietic, respectively, whereas H1 and H2 receptors are widely dispersed. Human H1- and H2-histamine receptors were cloned and described in the early 1990s, followed a few years later by human H3- and H4-histamine receptors. The main treatment for chronic urticaria is second-generation non-sedating non-impairing H1 antihistamines. Then, the H1 antihistamines permitted dosage is raised by a factor of up to four

SO THERE ARE NOT TWO BUT FOUR HISTAMINE RECEPTORS.
Back to the paper:

INTRODUCTION

Histamine decarboxylase, an enzyme, creates histamine, a substance that occurs naturally in the body, entirely from l-histamine. It is expressed in cells all throughout the body, including basophils, mast cells, neurons in the central nervous system, and parietal cells in the stomach mucosa [1]. Histamine is a low-molecular-weight amine [2].

Histamine has a significant biological function in maintaining human health by acting on four different types of receptors. Cell proliferation and differentiation, haematopoiesis, embryonic development, regeneration, and wound healing are all impacted by it. In Histamine is produced by the mammalian central nervous system, neurons that only contain cell bodies in the posterior hypothalamic tuberomamillary nucleus, and axons that deliver histamine to the frontal and temporal cortexes and other regions of the brain. [3,4]. With the identification of certain histamine receptors, we have learned a lot more about the effects of histamine in the past ten years. Now, it is known that histamine binds to four distinct binding sites (H 1 -, H 2 -, H 3 -, and H 4 -receptors)[5,6,7]. Sneezing, nasal obstruction, itching, and rhinorrhoea are the primary early allergic response symptoms caused by activation of the H 1 -receptor by histamine binding. Leukotrienes, prostaglandins [8, 9], and other cytokines are also produced in greater amounts when H 1 receptors are activated, which also occurs before the late phase of an allergic reaction [10,11]. Several physiological and pathological processes, including skin allergies, “septic inflammation, and various neutral transmission and digestion [15, 16]. The histamine receptors found in the skin are partially blocked by H1 antihistamines. The purpose of this clinical trial was to determine whether a combination therapy using H1 (hydroxyzine) and H2 (cimetidine) antihistamines is more effective than H1 antihistamines alone in treating patients with refractory chronic idiopathic urticaria [20,21]. Histidine decarboxylase, an enzyme, catalyses a reaction in which the amino acid LHistidine is decarboxylated to produce histamine (HDC). Mast cells, Histamine are produced in large numbers by basophiles, enterochromaffin-like cells of the stomach mucosa, and histaminergic neurones. These cells also store histamine within the cells in specialised storage granules.

First-generation antihistamines, often referred to as sedating antihistamines, were the initial group of these medications to be developed. Examples include diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, and promethazine.

Second-generation or non-sedating antihistamines were developed to address the shortcomings of first-generation antihistamines. These medications, including cetirizine, fexofenadine, and loratadine, are more selective for the H1 receptor and exhibit a lower capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to fewer side effects in the central nervous system (CNS)…

H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs)


Histamine H2-receptor antagonists for urticaria

H2RAs are used clinically in the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions, such as peptic ulcer disease, gastrooesophageal reflux, and dyspepsia…

Medications contained in this group include cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine, roxatidine, lafutidine, and nizatidine, most of which are available as oral preparations….

There is still a degree of uncertainty as to the precise mode of action of H2RAs. Histamine is a potent mediator of immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Fifteen per cent of the histamine receptors in the skin are H2-receptors, and it is acknowledged that human skin mast cells, which store histamine also express H2-receptors (Lippert 2004). The H2RAs are reversible structural analogs (a chemical compound with a slightly altered chemical structure) of histamine that cause a decrease in the tonic activation rate of the receptor. Thus, these agents act as inverse agonists (agents that bind to the same receptor binding-site as an agonist for that receptor and reverse the activity of receptors) with a functional antagonism of histamine activity, hence, reducing the histamine activity on the receptor sites. In this way they may be able to block histamine release and curtail, or even prevent, symptoms of urticaria from occurring. It has also been suggested that one of these H2RAs, cimetidine, has an immunomodulator function (Nielsen 1996) and may have a role to play in chronic autoimmune urticaria….

When I took ‘goat spit’ and Moxidectin the improvement was quick.

Moxidectin and Ivermectin Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Replication

This time I am getting only a slight improvement from the Ivermectin.

My next step is to head to the medical clinic where I will probably be given Prednisone (a cortisone) and an antibiotic to take care of any infection in my lungs.

MY CONCLUSION

I have had allergies for years and I am pretty good at telling the difference between an illness and an allergy. I am seeing zero indication of an illness.

A very good allergist once told me to think of my allergies as a bucket that you are filling up. You can get away with chocolate. You can get away with strawberries and even cantaloupe. BUT put them all together and you get hives.

What I am wondering is if we are seeing permanent alterations in our bodies, or just a higher load of toxins like spike shedding and perhaps crap that has been sprayed in the air.

And that brings me to the last bit of information H/T to the video from Gudthots.

 What the bleep can I eat?!

This has lists of food for those with specific food intolerance including histamine. This is a second listing: Foods High in Histamine

I SURE HOPE SO!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250128 ❀ Call for Authors ❀ Scientific Opinions on the Medical Case of Susie Sampson

A continuation of Dear DePat’s Tuesday Open Thread

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday and Thursday

A discussion of various pathological possibilities, including some new ones, and an explanation of why I lean toward particular theories


First of all, the boilerplate.

By reference, I call to incorporate the rules spoken of in any of Deplorable Patriot’s recent posts, such as her final one.


With that settled, I jump to the second item on the agenda.

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday and Thursday.

I know this seems abrupt, but DePat’s obituary has already published, and I’m already going to talk about even more sensitive topics now – by request – so I don’t feel too much guilt in making sure that DePat’s MISSION of keeping this site running is fully taken care of.

The best thing that we can do, in my opinion, to maintain Susie’s legacy in the MAGA world, is to keep all of her posts here (just under 1000 of them) online and searchable. SO – we need new authors for Tuesday and Thursday, to keep this site running.

Gudthots is thinking about taking over Thursday.

Do we have anybody else, who would like to do Tuesday? Which means that the post goes up Monday night, scheduled for one minute after midnight (I can help with this).

Just to be clear to potential authors, these daily threads are YOUR BABIES – meaning they don’t have to be anything like the way that DePat did them. In fact, it’s probably better not to. I invite new authors to come up with their own new styles.

We do have a very thin guideline post of basics in the sidebar, shown here:

We were actually more rigorous about format then, but it does help that daily open posts publish on the day listed in the title, and that the titles have a searchable format.

Anyway, if you are interested, just leave a comment.

If you are shy about saying something, you can always do “PMTW” (see “Contact”), commenting on this post, and then I can respond anonymously in public, although I recommend just being open.

Looking forward to somebody picking up DePat’s second sword.

angel sword 2021-08-08 10-46-04.png

And now for the big item.

A discussion of various pathological possibilities, including some new ones, and an explanation of why I lean toward particular theories.

I begin by citing relevant portions of FG&C’s report on the “sudden and unexpected” passing of Susie, which he communicated to me privately.


7-8 weeks ago Susie attended a choir rehearsal, during which she had stood right next to a fellow choir member who she learned afterwards had been Covid vax-boosted for the 4th time that day. Perhaps she mentioned at some point in these pages that in the time since that night she believed she had contracted “long Covid”, experiencing physical weakness, insomnia, a persistent cough, and low appetite. She believed she had inhaled “spike proteins” shedding from the woman she stood next to that night at rehearsal, stating that had she known the woman had been so recently vaxxed she would never have gotten so close to her.

Recently, she had stated she was feeling better, the cough all but gone, and in the past week felt she had gotten over the insomnia hump and was getting good rest. I was optimistic. However, on Monday AM….inauguration day….her brother discovered her in her bedroom, unresponsive, after becoming concerned he had not heard her moving about and she had not come downstairs. Paramedics were subsequently unable to resuscitate her, and it is currently believed she suffered a heart attack and passed away in her sleep. After many attempts to reach her (we texted daily), her brother called me this afternoon with the news. I knew you would want to know as well.


I am going to tease this apart very gently, so that you can see all the possibilities that we’re actually dealing with.

Point 1 – “Shedding”

Now, if you were following along with DePat’s posts in recent weeks, then you realize that she was very convinced that she had been subject to shedding of [COVID-19 vaccine-created] spike protein.

The first problem there, is that very near the end, DePat realized that the vaccine-originated shedding would more likely have been the spike mRNA, not the spike protein.

Here is her comment, which was in fact her third-to-last, made on January 17, 2025.


https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, by A Midwestern Doctor, 7 January 2024 (detailing the phenomenon of COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding, and how such shedding affects people);

This one is particularly scary as it claims the shedding is due to mRNA and not the spike protein. Drat.

Does anyone have further evidence on this or a rebuttal? I always thought it was just the spike protein. So far, no heart issues or unexplained pain, true brain fog (I’m sleepy today as the insomnia is FINALLY subsiding. I slept a LOT in the last 24 hours.), or any of the other hard core stuff. A LOT of stiffness keeping warm, and the return of some relatively normal complaints for me in winter.

Fortunately, we haven’t given away the bulk of my mother’s tools she used for the last so many years of her life after the hip replacement, and subsequent ailments. They’ve come in handy. I have another friend who is helping me out in a lot of ways. The next week will be a challenge temperature wise and then I can at least sit in the front door and soak up radiant heat as the sun comes out. Less than a half hour is recommended.

I’ve decided to use this experience as part of writing about an elderly or disabled person. There’s too much challenge at this point to really articulate it, but this is for the birds even if the worst of it is fatigue.

And, yes, stay away from crowds and people you know who get boosters.


So – let me just spell this out. DePat realized that vaccine shedding could be the spike protein, but that it’s more likely (and more dangerously) to be the spike protein mRNA enclosed in lipid nanoparticles that can get into cells. It is by this mechanism that much more spike protein could be created in the body of the shedding recipient.

Not a pleasant thought.

Now – just a side note. DePat and I had discussed all this, many times, WAY BACK in late spring of 2021, so she knew this stuff years ago. Thus, I really believe that she had some brain fog recently. And we know from her comments – DePat understood that she had brain fog, too, despite the fact that it was interfering with her memory.

Years ago, she and I had speculated on the shedding of spike protein, to explain things which were being observed in people close to vaccine recipients. Unlike DePat, I was not a believer in “shedding”, but when Naomi Wolf started reporting observations consistent with some kind of shedding phenomenon, I came up with a scientifically solid explanation of how shed spike protein could actually cause such symptoms, if the spike protein had highly potent, oxytoxin-like pharmacological activities.

The idea of spike protein shedding seemed plausible AS IS, but when Pfizer’s own data, released to vaccine skeptics by the Japanese government, showed the vaccine itself persisting and migrating in test animals, it became clear that shedding of the VACCINE would be an even better explanation.

Which I posted about.

The point about snake venoms and spike protein is an ANALOGY – it’s not direct – but it’s very useful in understanding both potencies and pharmacological and pathological actions.

I want people to understand this. EVEN if it was just the spike protein being shed, if that protein is even slightly like snake venom in pathogenicity, then it behooves us to look at how snake venoms are dealt with in real life.

Specifically, when cages of venomous snakes are being cleaned, those present have to actually wear respirators. Not just masks – respirators. That is because the dust from dried snake venom in venomous snake cages can literally cause dangerous symptoms in people cleaning the cages.

SO – I want people to understand that DePat had a good theory here – namely, the theory that she got many lung-fulls of either spike protein, or (more dangerously) vaccine nanoparticles, from that vaccine-injected choirmate of hers.

According to this theory, not only did the “shed” vaccine cause typical vaccine-related symptoms – it potentially caused myocarditis, aortal embolism, blood clots, or any one of the many serious cardiovascular events that the vaccines are capable of causing.

This is actually a really reasonable theory.

However, it’s not the only one.


Point 2 – Nicotine

DePat’s last post indicates that she was continuing to use nicotine patches as an off-label way to “inhibit spike protein”. Here is that post.


I’m trying, be sure of that.

Others in my family aren’t. They think this will all go away just with ivermectin. I’m not done with the nicotine protocol yet.


OK – so what is this “nicotine protocol”?

The TL;DR is that one of the alternative medical treatments for “spike protein” / “long COVID” – and particularly “brain fog” – is medicinal nicotine, either as chewing gum, patches, or sublingual.

But before I get into this treatment, it’s helpful to see when and where DePat began investigating nicotine as a solution to her ailment. The entire conversation is very instructive, and begins here, where DePat began asking all of us for suggestions about treatment of her condition.

Okay, I need to pick a few brains.

After talking over symptoms with a friend who is in the same boat as many of us are with the COVID shots – she didn’t take them, but her husband did and she’s now suffering with the side effects despite all sorts of alternative treatment – I think whatever this is that I have is related to a choir member getting a booster last month and exposing me. The fatigue symptoms pretty much match what she had. Just unloading and loading the dishwasher is a challenge. Forget actual housework which desperately needs to be done. (When the kids get here on Saturday, I’m using them to deck the halls.) This crap is for real.

Other than making a run for Tennessee, which really isn’t that bad of a drive from here, for Ivermectin, any ideas? My friend ordered me a nebulizer and is willing to help me use it to break up biofilm, etc., but is there anything in anyone’s arsenal of natural remedies that may help? I had a talk with our Lord and Savior at Eucharistic Adoration today, and I’m hoping my Novena for wellness is doing some good, but, really, I have a lot to do and no energy to do it. Just about every old injury has flared up – especially in my torso which are pretty much all from singing – and some other things.

I just want and need this to go away.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

P.S. please pray for a cousin, A, and her husband, K, who are suddenly expecting identical twins over the summer. it’s a CLASSIC case of you make plans, God laughs. They are in their late thirties, and their toddler was born via c-section due to pre-eclampsia. Fortunately, her OB services are through a Vanderbilt extension, so we’re all hoping for the best.

P.P.S. Next week, we are going to have a house full of people, so the posts will be placeholders of a sort. I’m going to resurrect an old one and draft something new for the day after Christmas. Just a head’s up.


Now, at that time, all of us came in with a wide variety of suggestions, but one late response came from a hitherto lurking account, I Hate Acronyms, now registered as Sigma.


Very long time lurker here from the great Q purge OT. Please consider nicotine patches. The highest strength, cut into fourths. Apply one of the fourths to your skin, replacing with a fresh one daily. Do a search on Rumble for “nicotine and spike proteins”. “Nicotine vs nanotech”
If they are going to work, you should see results within days, if not hours. Non-addictive.


As I felt this was earnest and helpful advice, and that the nicotine method had solid science behind it, I approved the comment immediately, hoping it might help DePat.

I am sure that DePat thoroughly investigated this, and found all the same information that I did. If you dig deep enough and far enough on this, you will find all of the following.

  • there are valid scientific reasons to think nicotine might work as a treatment for “long COVID” / “long vax” / “spike protein”
  • there is a wide range of voices supporting treatment with nicotine
  • those voices include more “controversial” ones like Dr. Bryan Ardis and Dr. Tau Braun
  • they also include more widely respected ones like Dr. Peter McCullough
  • there are also discrediting connections to “nanomachines” and the like, which I ignore
  • for some people with long COVID, nicotine has helped when nothing else has worked

I advise just doing the recommended Rumble searches, to learn more.

For example, this video shows a variety of scientific papers which not only explain why nicotine affects spike protein-based symptoms, but also show demonstrated clinical benefit in actual patients.

LINK: https://rumble.com/v5wubbq-nicotine-protects-you-from-shedding.html

But now addressing a bigger question.

I do NOT suspect that nicotine poisoning was involved in DePat’s death. Toxic levels of nicotine result in very obvious symptoms (nausea, vomiting, tremors, vertigo, flushing, palpitations, etc.) that quickly make people back off on whatever means by which they were ingesting nicotine. I know, because the first cigar I ever smoked sent me into nicotine poisoning. People learn very quickly how to dose nicotine correctly.

DePat was actually getting some positive results with this method. More specifically, it was making her feel better. I personally think her efforts would have been more successful under a doctor’s supervision (preferably one connected to FLCCC or the like), but when I suggested “doctors and tests” to DePat, she was not a fan.


LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/01/14/dear-kag-20250114-open-thread/#comment-1395665

DEPAT: I’m wondering if some of this fatigue is coming from trying to stay warm in a drafty house.

Hmmm….

ME: That sounds very likely to me.

Your body basically sends your periphery into overdrive to stay warm. Long johns / thick leggings and a sweater indoors can be very helpful. Feeling warm indoors can stabilize you.

Also wondering if your doctor is running a yearly thyroid check (TSH) If the numbers are odd or marginal, you may have something going on there.

DEPAT: Doctor? I learned my lesson with conventional medicine a long time ago.

It just seems the bad days are colder.


LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/2024/12/16/dear-kmag-20241216-trump-won-three-times-%e2%9d%80-open-topic/#comment-1383534

ME: Sounds a lot like COVID. Have you tested yourself at any point?

DEPAT: No. But I was exposed to two people who had their boosters over a month ago. The coughing fits started on the 17th last month. True weakness and needing to sit down for tasks the three days before Thanksgiving. I think I’m just about at the end.


In my opinion, DePat really needed a complete physical checkup, if only because it might have picked up any underlying conditions. But even more than that, there was a need for better diagnosis of what was ailing her. Simply assuming that it was vaccine shedding was risky, IMO.

Point 3 – COVID-19

Notice that I had asked DePat about COVID. The symptoms of being a “shedding recipient” should be almost the same as “long vax” – which should be very similar to the disease itself. Even more to the point, it is extremely easy to pick up COVID in a place like a choir. In fact, it only takes a much smaller dose of an infectious organism, than it does of a “shed vaccine”, to cause the exact same kind of problems that DePat was having.

DePat seemed very resistant to the idea that she might have had COVID or a similar ILI (influenza-like illness). However, to rule out an actual disease takes some effort. And to PREVENT disease takes even more.

Was she taking her temperature daily or twice daily? As far as I know, NO.
Was she taking ivermectin AT ALL, much less regularly? NO.
Was she taking vitamin D? Had she ever tested her levels of vitamin D? NO.
Was she taking enough zinc? I don’t think she was taking ANY zinc.

DePat’s situation was a lot like Wheatie’s. She KNEW – more or less – what sorts of things might be useful if she ever got COVID, but she had NOT prepared by having those things purchased, fully understood, and on hand, ready for trouble. Even more, she was not ready to DIAGNOSE COVID.

I KNOW that I have had COVID three times, because I’ve done the testing and clinical work to make absolutely firm diagnosis. I know that what I have right now is most certainly influenza, and NOT COVID.

And that brings me to my next point.

Point 4 – Influenza

I think it is VERY likely that DePat had the very nasty influenza that is going around right now, which singingsoul1 suffered from greatly, at almost the same time as DePat, and which I am suffering from at this very moment. As is my wife – so I am studying TWO cases, almost identical.

  • “feel bad”
  • aches and pains
  • persistent cough
  • no appetite
  • insomnia
  • chills
  • fatigue
  • sense of smell OK
  • stuffy sinuses and phlegm – mostly upper respiratory
  • “forget doing housework”
  • need a nebulizer (I use saline spray, myself)

Everything DePat was saying about what she was suffering, sounds like what I’m suffering right now. And, in fact, what MANY people are suffering right now.

And here’s the kicker. Influenza is a PRIME candidate for setting up a heart attack afterwards.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-the-flu-trigger-a-heart-attack

I know that many of you (like me) might suspect that this angle is pure post-clot-shot “explain away the vaccine heart attacks” bullshit, BUT the fact is, influenza has ALWAYS been notorious for killing old people, and heart attacks is one of the ways that it does it. Viral diseases – colds and flu – are also notorious as initiators of pericarditis and myocarditis. They didn’t have to make this shit up, to use it to deflect from their horrible vaccines.

As I love to say, there’s no cover like the truth.

Now – one might think DePat would have known if she had the flu, but this thing my wife and I have, has proven to be surprisingly low-fever – especially for my wife. Even after the fever has subsided, we still feel very ill. Were I not monitoring our temperatures every day, getting actual numbers, and signal over noise, it would have been easy to dismiss this thing as something other than influenza.

At numerous times during the last week, I have thought that maybe this was something other than influenza. But the reality keeps coming back, as I read more and more solid information about influenza and its treatment. What I have – what my wife has – what singingsoul had – and what DePat likely had – was a long, slow case of influenza, with a long recovery time.

Bear in mind that viral diseases often leave patients stuffy and suffering many symptoms for 60 days (2 months), long after the virus is gone. That fits perfectly with the timescale that DePat reported.

I think it is very critical to make a correct diagnosis, and to beware of reflexive “it’s the vaccine” thinking, when DISEASE never went away as a significant threat. Maybe even a MORE significant threat.

It’s entirely possible that DePat was exposed to “shed vaccine” – but I would argue that it’s more possible she was exposed to a nasty flu, didn’t have the right tools to diagnose or treat it, and damage by this flu ultimately led to a heart attack or stroke.

Either way, I now urge everybody – investigate treatments ahead of time. Don’t wait for being sick, because you won’t make it to the store – you won’t make that long trip to Tennessee – you won’t figure out which drug, where to get it, and how to take it.

Do all that ahead of time, if you want to live.

With that, I invite people to give me THEIR opinions. Feel free to disagree with me! After all, we have free speech back. THANK GOD!!!

Finally, this. Say a prayer for DePat and her family – grieve as you need, and you WILL need – but trust that God knows what God is doing, and seek comfort in that knowledge.

Trust in God. He is with us, and DePat is with Him.

All the best,

W


DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250123 ❀ In Highest Honor of Susie Sampson, Known to MAGA as Deplorable Patriot

It is with extreme sadness that I announce news, brought to us by DePat’s loving and faithful friend, For God & Country (FG&C).

Rather than simply approving FG&C’s comment, I decided to make it a full post. I will add my own comments afterward.


Dear Qtree,

I profoundly regret and sorrowfully bring you the sad news of our dear friend Susie “Depat” Sampson’s unexpected and sudden passing.

Susie was a fierce, albeit petite, Gen X MAGA warrior and patriot who dearly loved our American Republic. Highly intelligent, insightful, articulate, loyal, kind, and sweet are just a few of the accurate adjectives which describe this truly amazing, deeply committed and Christ-focused Christian lady.

A dedicated animal lover and dog owner, she was an alto singer by profession, performing her craft in the theatre as well as in various parish churches in the St. Louis area. She was also a blogger, self-published author, and unapologetic conservative.

7-8 weeks ago Susie attended a choir rehearsal, during which she had stood right next to a fellow choir member who she learned afterwards had been Covid vax-boosted for the 4th time that day. Perhaps she mentioned at some point in these pages that in the time since that night she believed she had contracted “long Covid”, experiencing physical weakness, insomnia, a persistent cough, and low appetite. She believed she had inhaled “spike proteins” shedding from the woman she stood next to that night at rehearsal, stating that had she known the woman had been so recently vaxxed she would never have gotten so close to her.

Recently, she had stated she was feeling better, the cough all but gone, and in the past week felt she had gotten over the insomnia hump and was getting good rest. I was optimistic. However, on Monday AM….inauguration day….her brother discovered her in her bedroom, unresponsive, after becoming concerned he had not heard her moving about and she had not come downstairs. Paramedics were subsequently unable to resuscitate her, and it is currently believed she suffered a heart attack and passed away in her sleep. After many attempts to reach her (we texted daily), her brother called me this afternoon with the news. I knew you would want to know as well.

I am aware of how this news will hit the Qtree community, and how loved and appreciated she was here. She loved being a part of this group as much as she loved the MAGA movement and President Trump. In particular, she was a longtime fan and admirer of the impossibly great “Gail Combs”, of whom we often laughed over the thought she must be a “deep MAGA” AI. 😁

It was through this very forum that I got to know her, and in the years after leaving here grew close with her, and I visited her in St. Louis many times. On her behalf, with complete confidence she would approve of this message below, let me say a few words for her to each of you…

My dear friends and fellow Qtree patriots,
We did it! Going all the way back these now many years to the time when most (if not all) of us originally came together at Conservative Treehouse, and later here at Qtree after Wolf created this space for those of us daring to believe in Q-Anon and subsequently being exiled from CTH for doing so, we have stood the test of time and proved resolute and firm with one another in our belief in God, his providence, and our beloved Republic.
We, along with tens of millions of our fellow patriots, and God’s blessings, have successfully taken on the almost impossible power and reach of the corrupt and evil globalist deep state, and we have once again elected our lion, President Donald J Trump to a historic and almost unprecedented non-concurrent term. I am confident that Trump 2.0 will prove as day is to night in comparison to his first term!
It has been the honor of a lifetime to share in this struggle with all of you; to pass through the many trials, uncertainties, set-backs, and victories together. We never gave up, never gave in, and never wavered. We ran the good race! It has been an incredible journey which we have chronicled together on these pages over all these many years.
I know that each of you will continue the good and holy fight, and I will be watching and praying for you, your individual and collective success, and the reestablishment of our Republic as the founder’s envisioned and ordained by God.
Do not be afraid, and never fear. Our sovereign Lord and Almighty God is firmly in control, and all is unfolding according to his design!
This is not “good-bye”, this is only a “see you later!”, and while parting is sorrowful, the joy of our reunion in the presence of our mighty and loving King will so overwhelm the sadness as to render it entirely moot and inconsequential.
I love you all, carry each of you in my heart, and reluctantly take my leave from you with this…
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
See you on the other side!
Susie


I will begin by thanking For God & Country for this desperately needed but sad news, as well as for his wonderful message from DePat, which I will admit made me cry.

As I know for certain that DePat’s final wish for me would be to remove FG&C from moderation, I will do that immediately after publishing this. If we cannot all lay down our swords in DePat’s honor, then we have no business being here.

I will add more information about DePat’s last comments and posts in the comments.

Thank you ALL for being good friends of Susie, and for your concern as she battled recent health issues, and then as she vanished from the site.

To say DePat will be greatly missed is an almost appalling understatement. She was, if not the heart and soul of this site, at least a huge portion of it. Her influence on me was as profound as any teacher I ever had – and I had some great ones.

There will be a time that I will fully discuss my scientific opinion about what happened to Susie. I may say some things now, but I will definitely say more later. There are things that MUST be said.

Finally, let me add this. Susie was one of the greatest defenders of the Catholic Church that I have ever known. While I do not consider myself to be Catholic, she made me a great ally of “The Church” – as she called it. She remains, in my opinion, one of the greatest servants of The Lord that I have ever had the honor of knowing.

In God I trust – that Susie is now exactly where God wants her, and where she wants to be.

¡Vaya con Dios, amiga!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250116

Cover image: North Dakota Badlands

Still not quite up to it, but doing exercises and the like.

TWEETS!

Marco Rubio was impressive on Wednesday.

https://twitter.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1879553592861905122

@JerryDunleavy

The opening statement given by Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio just now eviscerates decades of failed U.S. foreign policy: “Out of the triumphalism of the end of the long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus, and this consensus was that we had reached ‘the end of history.’ That all the nations of earth would become members of the democratic Western-led community. That a foreign policy that served the national interest could now be replaced by one that served the ‘liberal world order.’ And that all mankind was now destined to abandon national sovereignty and national identity, and we would become ‘one human family’ and ‘citizens of the world.’ This wasn’t just a fantasy — we now know it was a dangerous delusion.

Here in America, and in many of the advanced economies across the world, an almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense of our national economy shrunk the middle class, left the working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and of rivals. An irrational zeal for maximum freedom of movement of people has resulted in a historic mass migration crisis here in America but also around the world — it’s one that threatens the stability of societies and governments. Across the West, governments now censor and even prosecute domestic political opponents. Meanwhile radical jihadists openly march in the streets and sadly drive vehicles into our people.

While America far too often prioritized the ‘global order’ above our core national interests, other nations continued to act the way countries always have and always will — in what they perceive to be in their best interest. And instead of folding into the post-Cold War global order, they have manipulated it to serve their interests at the expense of ours. We welcomed the Chinese Communist Party into the global order, and they took advantage of all its benefits, and they ignored all its obligations and responsibilities. Instead, they have repressed, and lied, and cheated, and hacked, and stolen their way to global superpower status, and they have done so at our expense and at the expense of their own country.

In our very own hemisphere, despots and narco-terrorists take advantage of open borders to drive mass migration, to traffic women and children, and to flood our communities with fentanyl and violent criminals. In Moscow, Tehran, and Pyongyang, dictators — rogue states — now sow chaos and instability and align with and they fund radical terror groups, and then hide behind their veto power at the United Nations Security Council and the threat of nuclear war. The postwar global order is not just obsolete — it is now a weapon being used against us. And all this has led to a moment in which we must now confront the single greatest risk of geopolitical instability and of generational global crisis in the lifetime of anyone alive today.”

Hebrews 3:7-14

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, when you hear his voice, 8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, 9where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. 10Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’ 11As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.'” 12Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today, ” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

Psalms 95:6-11

6O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! 7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice! 8Harden not your hearts, as at Mer’ibah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9when your fathers tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. 10For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways.” 11Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.

Mark 1:40-45

40And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once, 44and said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.” 45But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

@CarloMVigano

The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is a decision that the State can legitimately take, and this is a principle dictated by Natural Law even before positive civil law or Canon Law. Conversely, the “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and indisputably incompatible with the network of pseudo-charitable organizations in the hands of the Bergoglian Hierarchy, the Democratic Party and the NGOs attributable to George Soros, and with the system of complicity between the deep state and the deep church, both of which are actively engaged in the dissolution of the social, economic, cultural, and religious fabric of the Nations in which they have taken control of the institutions. Stopping illegal immigration would make them lose an inexhaustible source of profit, paid for by citizens’ taxes. The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and unquestionably incompatible with the subversive plan of ethnic substitution shared by the globalist elite, because it thwarts it and prevents the creation of the premises for social revolt that are intended lead to a further restriction of fundamental freedoms. When we hear representatives of the deep church (i.e. the Bergoglian “church”) or the deep state speak, we ought to realize that these people are emissaries of the subversive globalist lobby, and that every word they say is false, because behind an apparently acceptable excuse they actually hide unmentionable criminal purposes. Let us not be surprised then if “Cardinal” McElroy – appointed by Bergoglio as “Archbishop” of Washington, heir of the serial abuser and right-hand man of the Argentine Jesuit, Theodore McCarrick – is so busy with immigrants, LGBTQ+, the environment and vaccines: these are the points of the Agenda 2030, which the Bergoglian “church” has been promoting since the Mafia of St. Gallen managed to have a puppet of the World Economic Forum elected “pope”. And let us not be surprised if what the exponents of the deep state and the deep church have in common is corruption, vice, and perversion.

And his commandments are not burdensome. 4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

Remember when I showed in the Vaccine Education Summit that young woman that looked like she had lupus, well, Suramin is an antidote, if you will, to the mechanism of action, which is: inhibit reverse transcriptase because we know this COVID-19 isn’t a vaccine, it’s a manufactured virus. And they put Syncytin. They put the XMRV envelope spike protein, that alone causes all the diseases that could qualify as COVID, Long Haul COVID, they knew exactly what they were doing, and they published, in January of 2020 a review of all the wonderful cancers and viruses, and everything that suramin inhibits. And it was all of our work and all we tried to say for almost 30 years since I first worked with it in 1986 with HIV AIDS. Now you hear, Oh, AIDS is coming back. Oh, black man. And you know, we’re going right back to the game is the same. We could have cured AIDS in 1986 with things like Suramin and Ivermectin and cancer. They’re making money.

But the FBI did nothing with their discoveries, and the DOJ did not press charges. There is full knowledge, with proof obtained by the top law enforcement agency in the nation, that these people betrayed their oaths of office and at the very least are guilty of committing sedition. Those whose DUTY it is to hold these people accountable are not doing so. You need to ask yourself why?

“Mammograms Are A Billions Dollar Business. They’re Only Useful For Profit & Always Do Terrible Harm To The Patient.” Dr John McDougall “Do Mammograms harm? ALWAYS. Should Mammograms be done? NO.” Mammographic compression causes cutaneous bruising, haematoma, rupture of breast implants & cystic masses. Repeated exposure to 3D Radiation causes Cancer. Current 3D Mammography delivers 3X more radiation than 2D mammograms of the past. For every 2,000 women, 1 woman’s life is saved. But, in the process 5 to 50 women will be treated unnecessarily with surgery, chemo & radiation. 600-1,000 of every 2,000 women who undergo Mammograms, will go thru more radiation screening & biopsies for potential diagnosis. Repeated radiation exposure causes deaths from heart disease, lung cancer & other cancers. These iatrogenic deaths are not counted as breast cancer deaths. Quote by World Renowned Cochrane Collaboration: “The best thing a woman can do to lower her risk of becoming a breast cancer patient is to avoid a Mammogram, which will lower her risk 33%.” “If Mammograms had been a drug, it would have been withdrawn from the market long ago. Very few women if any, will benefit, whereas many will be harmed by Mammography. Mammography screening should be stopped because it is harmful.” The screening that promotes health & not harm & doesn’t cause cancer is Thermography & QT Ultrasound Imaging, which has 40 times the resolution of MRI. Lifestyle Cancer prevention to Metabolic Health is thru a Ketogenic Low Carb Way of Eating, eliminating seed oils, Ultra Processed Foods & excess sugar. And avoid synthetic hormonal birth control.

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.”
