Was “Trust and Safety” a CCP Trojan Horse?


Thanks to Darren Beattie, Elon Musk, and Gail Combs, I have been struck by lightning, and can now see the origins of the highly successful “trust and safety” censorship paradigm.

I survey the catastrophe that “Trust & Safety” has been for not only Twitter and Apple, but all of Big Tech, America, and the world, and I cry out “Well played, CCP! Well played!”

And you, my fellow coders who watched it all turn to crap, know I’m right. We did not object to the early assaults on Free Speech, as CHINA slyly moved into our tech businesses, and now we have paid the price.


Or if we really want to be complete…..

The part about “can’t code” welcoming in the Trojan Horse is important. In my opinion and experience, it was the non-coding “verbal world” of bureaucratic policy which welcomed “trust and safety”, then forcing it on the more mathematical geek world which had once been a bastion of honesty, truth, and freedom.

Free speech mattered to old tech. Not so much to the people who took control of tech.

This is relevant, in that WOMEN tend to show up as the cops, police chiefs and ambassadors of “trust and safety”. It’s a very female and “beta male” thing, even at the high levels.

BEFORE ELON:

After Elon:

Yeah, those pictures are a bit of an unfair comparison, because they’re different company functions as well, but in other ways, that in itself is exactly the problem.

Coders versus the people who tell them what to do. Twitter was filled with chiefs and not enough Indians.

ALTHOUGH perhaps one too many……

Yoel Roth’s problems don’t end with his refusal to “manspread” like a man, but the problems surely start there. Any “man” who is threatened by the Babylon Bee needs help, not power.

BUT BACK TO THE ACTUAL STORY…..


Trustina Applegate

Darren Beattie of Revolver News had one of the biggest stories yet on censorship in Big Tech.

LINK: https://www.revolver.news/2022/12/revealed-eric-holder-fingerprints-all-over-apple-trust-and-safety-department-during-2020-election/

Turns out that Eric Holder’s former chief of staff was the head of censorship at Apple for quite a while, including the 2020 election.

Here is the brief version of what happened. Please go to the original for the full story. I am only including a highly edited snippet of the middle of the story (and yet it’s VERY long).


FTA…..

The current head of Apple Trust and Safety is someone who is clearly aware of the value of having a low profile online. Look for details on Jessica Gimarc-Savini and you’ll find her sparse LinkedIn page, her (lesbian) wedding page, and not much else.

While we know little about Jessica Savini, we can learn much from a profile of her predecessor, former head of Trust and Safety at Apple Margaret Richardson.

Richardson served as Apple’s top trust and safety figure from August 2020 through May 2022.

As you read the following, keep in mind that Apple is the largest company in the world, with a market capitalization of $2.3 trillion dollars.  Its annual revenues exceed the GDP of most U.S. states. It’s annual net profits are worth more than the GDP of Bulgaria. Apple might as well be a country unto itself, and a powerful one at that. Of all of the people they could have chosen to be the key decision maker for content moderation and safety — that is, censorship — you’d think they’d at least choose someone with the appearance of moderation and lack of political bias.

Think again.

While Richardson wisely avoided tweeting during her tenure at Apple, at her previous job, first as “director of global policy” and then “director of trust” as Airbnb, Richardson was entirely unrestrained. Her still-extant tweets from August 2020 and before give a stark demonstration of her thinking, a perpetually-spinning hamster wheel of stock left-wing political tropes. For starters, Richardson’s Twitter banner screams “Black Lives Matter”!

But that’s only scratching the surface.

Dig back through 5+ years of tweets and retweets, and you see a type that is disturbingly common: A person’s whose public life consists almost wholly of mindlessly affirming, then reaffirming, and then re-reaffirming, far-left and liberal partisan orthodoxies.

It’s not that any one tweet from Richardson is particularly bad. It’s that that’s all there is. She never strays into talking about her family or her favorite books or even, say, her favorite vacation spots (she was working at a lodging company, after all!). It’s just the current partisan lib obsession du jour, every time, with ruthless tedium.

Richardson isn’t just deeply ideological, pro-BLM, and so forth. She’s also narrowly and almost pettily partisan.

If this was your barista at Starbucks, or a Congressional staffer, or heck, an ordinary Apple engineer, this would be rather lame but unremarkable. But this is the person Apple chose to lead its Trust and Safety division, the person chosen to be head censor at the most powerful company in the world. This is the person who was empowered to make crucial, politically-loaded decisions during one of the most hotly-contested elections in American history.

Five months after Richardson started at Apple, the company made one of the most ideologically aggressive cancellations ever when it banned Parler from its app store. While Apple works hard to obscure its decision-making process, Richardson was without a doubt central to that decision, and with her involved, it wasn’t a surprising one. In April 2022, shortly before she left, the company also committed itself to a ridiculous internal “racial equity audit.”

So, where did this person come from? Well, just looking at her tweets, one notices that Richardson doesn’t just have a habit of boosting left-wing causes. She has a noticeable preference for boosting senior figures from the Obama Administration itself — Valerie Jarrett, Arne Duncan, John Kerry, and so forth. Richardson was particularly active when President Trump dismissed acting attorney general Sally Yates for insubordination after she refused to enforce his executive order implementing a travel ban on several nations linked to Islamic terrorism.

This isn’t random.

After earning dual degrees in law from UC-Berkeley and in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School, Richardson spent three years working at a free legal clinic in the Bay Area. From there, she went to the Obama campaign, and after his election she joined the Justice Department as a top adviser to Eric Holder, eventually ascending to become his chief of staff.


Wolf again….

SO – I hope that is crystal clear.

The Obama-Holder DOJ directly controlled Apple’s view of “acceptable content” during the engineered fall of the Trump administration (a.k.a. “The Coup”) as well as first two years of the Biden administration.

This is exactly why I absolutely cannot stand Apple News, for it’s horrible, judgmental, left-wing slant.

If you read the rest of the Revolver article, it is VERY clear that the “Trust and Safety” racket is largely an infiltration of Big Tech by an ideology centered on Eric Holder and the DOJ.

In my opinion, Trust & Safety in Big Tech was ultimately a downstream effect of the disastrous Obamacare website, which was used to “lure in” Big Tech for what became an infection operation.

People who had no idea how to deal with criminals and communists were sheep led to the slaughter.


SO – back to Twittergate.

I didn’t really make the connection of Twitter’s “Trust and Safety” machine to DOJ, until Elon Musk revealed The Twitter Files to the world, via left-trusted journalist Matt Taibbi, in a massive act of transparency.

Somewhere in the middle of Matt Taibbi’s tweet-thread, I realized that Apple and Twitter were undoubtedly similar stories – and that Eric Holder likely had an insider at Twitter.

Allow me to interject with a meme here…..

Moving on…..


But THIS is where the DOJ comes back into things. The next tweet (28) is like discovering Eric Holder working at Twitter.


Jim Baker? You mean SPYGATE Jim Baker???

I had figured there was some Holder groupie analogous to Richardson at Apple, inside Twitter’s Trust & Safety apparatus. I had no idea that Holder’s henchman – THE Jim Baker, fired as part of Spygate – was there.

Let’s just look at that Jim Baker message more closely…..

This is an incredible stall tactic. Twitter can hold off the truth forever with this thinking.

Note how the “hacked materials” policy is already anti-journalism, but combine it with a DOJ Obama/Hillary toadie INSTALLED INSIDE TWITTER, and, it’s every bit like Apple. Complete DOJ commie control.

SO – it’s clear that “Trust and Safety” is a DOJ gig – right?

How could this possibly be worse?

The trick is understanding the “environmental push” for “Trust and Safety” over free speech, which overwhelmed both government and tech. It almost certainly had foreign help.


Gail Combs Exposes Trust-and-Safetygate

Today, Gail posted a series of deep dives into the subject of where much of the “trust and safety” censorship has appeared and festered in both government and Big Tech – spilling over into everything, including elections, journalism, STEM, and even White House policymaking.

The big picture blew me away, as I saw how successful this movement was, in transforming our own government and national security complex away from freedom and toward CCP-style totalitarianism, without even being fully understood by the victims.

Some of the CCP infiltration is obvious – some of it is not.

I present it to you now, largely unedited except by Gail herself, in preparing it for this post. I have also taken the liberty of embedding the videos by hand, rather than just leaving links. I have further included some comments that Gail left out, because I feel they are still important, even though she did not.

From BadKitty’s Thread — The KEY INFO showing GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP IMPACTING ELECTIONS!!!

They also submit reported tweets to CISA at DHS. Boom!

DHS puts on its CISA website for election misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation to be reported to Misinformation@Cisecurity. (NGO Katie Hobbs used for reporting.)

CISA

RUMOR CONTROL PAGE START-UP GUIDE Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) can present risks to the election infrastructure community, its owners and operators, and the public. MDM can spread quickly, causing rumors to undermine facts. 

The risks of MDM range from undermining confidence in institutions to activating and inspiring dangerous behaviors and violence. This Rumor Control Page Start-Up Guide is for organizations seeking to dispel specific MDM narratives through transparent and authoritative information. Designed for use by state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government officials and private sector partners, this guide cites the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Rumor Control page as a model for debunking inaccurate narratives. The recommendations in this guide are not intended to be one-size-fits-all and should be adapted to the capabilities and resources available, as well as the MDM risks facing the community. Organizations should only set up a rumor control webpage related to issues for which they have access to information and expertise necessary to properly dispel MDM narratives and articulate facts. Each organization that plans to set up a rumor control page may want to consult with the appropriate organization legal counsel, if possible, prior to beginning operations. What is a rumor control page? A rumor control page is a web page that offers the public accurate and authoritative sources of information which will help address common MDM narratives. It is provided by a trusted voice to either preempt or respond to developing narratives. Credible messengers are most effective at disproving falsehoods. A rumor control page should not be considered the sole source of truth, rather it should drive people to seek more information about a complex subject by directing them to other trustworthy sources.

With a rumor control page, election officials and stakeholders can dispel rumors about the systems and assets they manage and have unique insight into. Some election offices may already have public information websites, which commonly include a “Frequently Asked Questions” page and/or press releases that seek to clarify information. In this sense, a rumor control page can be viewed as an extension of existing efforts….

  :wpds_arrow:  It is important to note that a rumor control page is only one element of a successful MDM response strategy. Improving resilience of elections to MDM also requires reporting MDM narratives. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) was established to support the cybersecurity needs of the election subsector. The CIS can be leveraged to report real-time MDM via email at misinformation@cisecurity.org

Be sure to include links and screenshots as well as details on the misinformation and your jurisdiction.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep Calls On CIA Director To Address His ‘Strong Ties’ To CCP While At Helm Of Elite DC Think Tank

  • Texas Republican Rep. Lance Gooden called on CIA Director William Burns to address his “strong ties” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while formerly heading an elite Washington, D.C., think tank, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
  • At least 20 undisclosed CCP members worked at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace during Burns’ presidency of the think tank, the DCNF recently reported.
  • “Evidence would suggest Director Burns lied under oath during his confirmation hearing,” Gooden told the DCNF, referring to Burns’ February 2021 CIA confirmation hearing.

Texas Republican Rep. Lance Gooden called on CIA Director William Burns to address his “strong ties” to the Chinese Communist Party while formerly heading an elite Washington, D.C., think tank, according to a letter shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday….

“The vast influence the CCP had at Carnegie during your tenure as president and the continued influence they have today — despite claims you made at your confirmation hearing that you had ended the CCP’s influence — presents a significant lapse in judgment and brings into question your ability to identify and mitigate national security risks,” Gooden’s letter said. (RELATED: Biden’s New Green Energy Adviser Has Ties To Chinese Communist Party Front Group)

DHS hires new cybsersecurity adviser ahead of 2018 midterm elections – Washington Examiner

The Department of Homeland Security has hired the former chairman of the Election Assistance Commission, Matt Masterson, to help federal, state, and local authorities coordinate cybersecurity efforts ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, the department announced Monday.
Masterson will serve as senior cybersecurity adviser within the National Protection and Programs Directorate’s Office of Cybersecurity and Communications.
“There are few who have Matt’s experience working with all levels of government and the private sector to protect our nation’s election systems. His wealth of experience and depth of knowledge make him highly respected on both sides of the aisle,” Chris Krebs, NPPD senior official performing the duties of the undersecretary, said in a statement.
Krebs added that Masterson’s previous work as chief information officer in the Ohio secretary of state’s office and at the EAC “significantly advanced” the country’s cybersecurity efforts.

Matthew Masterson Joins DHS as Senior Cybersecurity Adviser

Matthew Masterson, former chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, has been named senior adviser for the Department of Homeland Security‘s cybersecurity unit, Washington Examiner reported Monday.

DHS expects Masterson to continue working with federal, state and local officials to protect election systems against cyber threats.

He served as EAC commissioner for nearly four years, following his nomination by then President Barack Obama and subsequent confirmation by the Senate in late 2014.

Masterson previously held various positions within the Ohio secretary of state’s office, where he managed voting system certification procedures and led the development of online voter registry and ballot delivery platforms for military and overseas voters.

Changemakers → Clara Tsao

MUST READ about her views on ‘Disinformation’ Interesting tidbit”…we need to encourage more technologists to lend their expertise to support better policy-making, through incubators like Aspen’s Tech Policy Hub….”

…..Much of your current work lies at the intersection of tech and policy, focusing on issues like disinformation and online safety. How did you first become interested in these issues?

JFK once said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” In a similar way to how JFK committed the nation to the ambitious goal of landing on the moon,I believe the field of “trust and safety” (including online safety / disinformation), is the most difficult challenge of this decade that technology companies, governments, civil society, and internet users must stand united behind.

This is a challenge we need to win. From live-streamed mass shootings, terrorist content, online sexual exploitation and conspiracy theories, to election interference, there are endless problems that require collaboration, starting with strengthened dialogue. I have always been fascinated with how people behave online, and I spend my free time evaluating how people behave on social media. I especially love testing and exploring new technology platforms to understand the new ways in which people interact and connect with one another.

However, I was first exposed to the offline consequences of fake news and misinformation while I was at Microsoft in early 2014. At Microsoft I was managing a partnership program focused on growing the capacity of libraries in Myanmar to serve as trustworthy information hubs. We piloted new platforms and approaches to tackle digital and information challenges in the lead-up to the country’s critical 2015 general elections, the first time the nation could participate in a democratic vote after nearly 50 years of military rule. Over the span of months,I saw firsthand the impact of rampant disinformation as Facebook unintentionally introduced the country to a new digital era that causing offline chaos, violence, and eventually, ethnic genocide.

Years later, I joined the US Government as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence’ where I served as the CTO of two teams within the Department of Homeland Security focused on online safety issues, ranging from terrorist use of the internet, to foreign influence operations and election security. Most recently, I worked with human rights defenders, civil society groups, and policy professionals at Mozilla, evaluating regulatory policies and tools around harmful content online. My Passion for problem solving in this space was cultivated by these experiences.

What particular questions/challenges have you been tackling recently, and why is now the right time to address these?

Over the last year, I have been building a new organization to support and advance the trust and safety profession through a shared community of practice. Today the biggest challenge in trust and safety is the lack of formalized training and support for the professionals that determine and enforce acceptable content policies and behavior online.Professionals working in trust and safety teams at technology companies are tasked with adjudicating what is acceptable behavior or content, while also protecting free speech, user safety, and society. Trust and safety teams are also asked to make difficult decisions to protect users, while also having limited support from product and engineering teams to carry out and enforce these policies at scale.

There has never been a better time to support trust and safety professionals and to do their best work. Due to recent media coverage of content moderation, there has been more awareness of the psychological and mental health risks associated with content review that impact employee wellness.

As fake news and misinformation has gone rampant in election processes, governments around the world have threatened regulation or fines for the inability of timely content review and removal. Some countries, like Germany, have introduced and are enforcing such regulations. Hate speech that stays online in Germany for more than 24 hours can accrue a fine of €50 million under Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. Examples like these have led companies to invest more resources in their trust and safety operations and have more transparency in their decision-making practices.

Furthermore, technology companies are increasingly realizing the impact that toxic users and behavior have on “user churn” and bottom line.

“Advertisers like Unilever have threatened to take their marketing budgets elsewhere if platforms don’t mitigate the spread of toxic content or toxic users.”

Are certain types of misinformation more dangerous than others? What criteria should companies use to evaluate whether a piece of content should be removed from their platform as misinformation?

The perceived danger of misleading content is a key element that influences the way many companies prioritize and investigate removal. Misinformation can include false or misleading information, ranging from rumors, gossip, errors, propaganda. While misinformation can be harmless (i.e married celebrity having an affair), information can become dangerous when the content has offline or behavioral consequences for users and goes viral (i.e. drinking diluted bleach will prevent you from COVID-19 infections).

When evaluating misinformation, companies can evaluate the actor behind the campaign, the behavior of the post (is it a bot network?), and the context of the content to determine how to prioritize removal. Other times, misinformation is automatically detected by AI/machine learning or flagged manually by users reporting the post 

One challenging part of misinformation is when content is further bolstered by recommendation engines and algorithms, originally designed to heighten user engagement but now leaving users in partisan and polarized filter bubbles.

When Someone searches for content reinforcing fake science such as the flat earth theory, they become stuck in a “rabbit hole”of other conspiracy theories unknowingly, of which many include content from the anti vaccine movement. To Counteract this, AI researchers like Guillaume Chaslot have advocated internet platforms to have increased algorithmic transparency.

Alicia Wanless is the director of the Partnership for Countering Influence Operations at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Wanless is a PhD Researcher at King’s College London exploring how the information environment can be studied in similar ways to the physical environment.

Her twitter account is PRIVATE….
https://twitter.com/lageneralista

This interest led me to research things like nationalism, propaganda, and language engineering in my undergrad, and later in the 2010s, to start analyzing how influence operations were changing in a Digital Age. That research, which covered political campaigns and alternative media outlets, led me to work with militaries, major tech platforms, and civil society organizations—and ultimately to pursue a Ph.D. in War Studies at King’s College London….

The disinformation landscape surrounding the 2020 elections was so different than what we saw in 2016, with domestic, verified users supplanting bots and fake accounts, and new narratives focusing on both Covid and electoral fraud.  The actors, behaviors, and content keep changing. How do you see the disinformation landscape evolving in the future?
I’m not sure it’s the information environment changing quickly so much as our focus on what happens within it shifting. In researching the U.S. primary election in 2016, it was apparent that domestic actors were likely far more active and prevalent than any foreign actors, and this was later confirmed in Benkler, Faris, and Roberts’ Network Propaganda. The disclosure that Russian actors were actively running influence operations made for more shocking news, whereas disentangling the complex web of domestic actors can be difficult and highly politicized. The role of domestic actors engaging in influence operations has certainly come to the fore in the wake of the attack on Congress on 6 January.
One major challenge in understanding the information environment is that research tends to focus on threat actors, tactics, and the content they produce, often in the form of case studies— interesting and informative, but fairly narrow in scope. Unless it is all brought together in bigger meta studies, it leaves us focused on the last bad thing that happened, which is not great for being strategic about addressing the problem. To that end, I think we need to move towards a more systemic understanding about disinformation and influence operations, looking at the wider information environment in which these things occur to find patterns that might offer a warning where the next problem is emerging. That would allow us to intervene sooner.

It is provided by a trusted voice to either preempt or respond to developing narratives. Credible messengers are most effective at disproving falsehoods. A rumor control page should not be considered the sole source of truth, rather it should drive people to seek more information about a complex subject by directing them to other trustworthy sources. >>With a rumor control page, election officials and stakeholders can dispel rumors about the systems and assets they manage and have unique insight into. Some election offices may already have public information websites, which commonly include a “Frequently Asked Questions” page and/or press releases that seek to clarify information. In this sense, a rumor control page can be viewed as an extension of existing efforts….


ADDED NOTE BY WOLF

This stuff is just off-the-charts suspicious to me.


The Big Picture – CCP Subversion and Influence

I’m going to let people draw their own conclusions here. I’m not going to do anything other that talk about my own experiences with Chinese spies and assets in tech. You do the math.

It is beyond any doubt that the CULTURE of “trust and safety” is off-the-charts CCP in tone. There is SMOKE everywhere. And where there is smoke, there is probably fire.

It is my suspicion that “trust and safety” is filled with CCP-bots of various kinds, both Chinese and non-Chinese. However, diagnosing a spy from a non-spy is difficult, and requires an enormous amount of personal knowledge. I may have suspicions, but they are little more than that. Some may think I have TOO MANY suspicions, and that is fine.

However, it is my opinion that anybody with a potential CCP spy or asset background (thus including non-Chinese Americans) who strongly advocates or (even more tellingly) creates outcomes for things which serve CCP’s interests, and which oppose freedom-loving Americans’ interests, needs to be treated as such, particularly in regards to sensitive information or access. Just my opinion.

CCP loves to use women spies, operatives, and agents of influence, just like CIA. CCP girl spies are not just out of the mainland – many come out of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, England, Canada, America, and Latin America. Having them come out of somewhere other than the mainland, gives them a lot of flexibility, by lowering people’s guard and defenses.

CCP girl spies are smart, and the ones in tech tend to be excellent at both the coding side AND the schmoozing, verbal, business and policy side. They will sometimes HIDE one side of their abilities, if that deception is useful. However, in many cases, they will leverage both sides openly.

ChiSpies are often (but not always) among the most relentless social climbers you will ever meet. It’s the job – get as high as they can, targeting higher and higher up the chain. The Russian spies Maria Butina and Anna Chapman were the same way. I saw this much more often with the women than the men. The men tended to be far less obvious in trying to make new connections, whereas the women were extremely socially focused.

Many CCP spies are what I call “two-steppers”, which involve two generations of family as a form of cover. The parents may appear in America as refugees or economic migrants, being apolitical or (less often) even anticommunist. They may come from a place or background which throws off suspicion. The child, however, ends up in a sensitive position, and engages in actions, both of which clearly serve CCP interests. Thus, “two steps” to achieve a solid and easily dismissed infiltration.

CCP spy girls will often change their stories quickly and believably when questioned. They are quite good at planting false or compromising background information in social networks, although men tend to be used when planting something directly to another man, as a technique of peer influence.

Washington is the perfect environment for CCP players, because the operatives don’t stick out. The culture is one of influence and networking, so it looks like everybody else. ChiSpies tend to stick out more in the hinterlands.

Non-Chinese who carry water for CCP can be of many different types. Many are CCP allies, such as old Russian communists, American leftists, American rightists with economic ties to China, or dupes who become personally or professionally involved with agents.

It is important to understand that CCP operatives can have dramatically negative effects on other nations without doing ANYTHING illegal. I saw this form of stealthy sabotage over and over in tech. Just by burying into a key position and turning into an unremovable goldbrick, a CCP operative can create negative effects that have an organization chasing its tail. With only a bit more effort, such as engineered incompetence, organizations can be made weak, unprofitable, and ripe for takeover.

I put the “Trust and Safety” movement in this category of organizational sabotage. I think this entire movement serves CCP goals, and not American interests.

Others may disagree. They may assert that China helped America, if anything, by supporting “trust and safety” in any ways that it did, such as by providing “moderation” services.

To those who might think so, I simply add one more “unit” to my previous assessment of “4”.

Dear KMAG: 20221114 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

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

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And indeed, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

…and we will have fun doing it, too!


The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.

The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

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

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

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


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

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

Joe Biden didn’t win.

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

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

Understanding the Coming Threats to Innocent Americans from DOJ and FBI


ABOVE TL;DR – DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE


TL;DR – We are headed back to the Hillary Waco days, only it’s a much wider target zone of victims. It is starting out with simple Gestapo tactics, but it will likely progress to violence unless DOJ and FBI are reined in. Right now, NOT TALKING TO THE POLICE is how to fight the FBI and DOJ.


Less TL;DR – The testimony of an FBI whistleblower is enough to see that FBI is preparing to go after ANYBODY who was near the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. That is TENS OF THOUSANDS of people who I regard as innocent Americans. It is possible that DOJ and FBI will harass and intimidate ANY MAGA Americans who were in Washington, DC that day, and will arrest ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who marched to the Capitol Building.

This means arrest for multiple posters on this site, and harassment for many others. Indeed, it appears that FBI is preparing to match Joe Biden’s “Dark Brandon” rhetoric of “Trump and his supporters must be eliminated like Hitler and the Nazis.”

We must be prepared to meet this challenge, each in our own way, but all together.

Running is not an option. How you stand and fight is your choice. I choose to support ALL patriots, even those who choose differently from me.

For most of us, we are now in a Bonhoeffer moment. For others, and especially in the future, unless DOJ and FBI are stopped, we will be in a Crazy Horse moment. The decision is yours. If you are innocent, and the FBI comes after you, I will not criticize your choice in resistance.

Personally, I think that right now, SILENCE is how to fight them, when they come for you. (SEE BELOW, under PPS.)

Once again, “progressives” know who they want to destroy. And it is YOU.


Deplorable Patriot alerted us to the key tweet about the key article. This is one of many FBI whistleblowers, but he has some of the most critical information yet.

Many of you who are READING THIS, are now potentially targets of FBI suspicion, harassment, and even ARREST. It’s time to PREPARE, in my opinion. Most of this is MENTAL preparation. But first, let me show you evidence that things are that bad.

LINK: https://nypost.com/2022/09/21/fbi-hero-paying-the-price-for-exposing-unjust-persecution-of-conservative-americans/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/kTGYb

This is absolutely essential reading, but just to make sure that you see the part that is going to be literally LIFE OR DEATH for millions of patriotic Americans, both INSIDE and OUTSIDE the FBI, I am going to include some of it here.

That does NOT mean you should not read the whole thing – you had better, in my opinion. But I need to make sure you see the MOST important information.

Please read all of this, ESPECIALLY the specific allegations at the end of the citation.

If you are “low vision”, please use THIS LINK instead, and concentrate on the part reading “Among Friend’s Allegations”.



We need to look at these allegations in detail, and interpret what they mean, in terms of both understanding communist strategy ABOVE the FBI, and our response.

Remember – this is not just an attack on American citizens – this is an attack on the FBI. Once this happens, the FBI will no longer be regarded as even remotely honorable by roughly half of America – and THAT is part of the PLAN, in my opinion.

FBI has been lured to its destruction.


  • The Washington, DC, field office is “manipulating” FBI case management protocol and farming out J6 cases to field offices across the country to create the false impression that right-wing domestic violence is a widespread national problem that goes far beyond the “black swan” event of Jan. 6, 2021.
    • WOLF: This is a rather cynical ploy. FIB management has basically rebranded “national outrage at an obviously stolen Presidential election” as a DIFFERENT widespread national problem, “domestic violent extremism“. This agent Friend clearly has his head screwed on straight, and has not fallen for the brainwashing in Washington.
    • More than that, this is obviously how the crooked Washington Field Office and national directorate plans to indoctrinate agents all across the US, to turn them against their local citizenry. It’s a very SMART move, straight out of Holder and Obama. This is a communist division tactic, which further isolates the FBI. CUNNING.
  • As a result, he [Friend] was listed as lead agent in cases he had not investigated and which his supervisor had not signed off on, in violation of FBI policy.
    • WOLF: Again, this is just typical slow burn of evil in corrupting better people, and making them insensitive to the law. This LITERALLY cuts into the “I” of “Integrity” in a very shocking way.
    • I will go further than Friend here. The idea that anybody goes along with this kind of FALSIFICATION of records is a travesty. People in BUSINESS don’t allow this stuff, where WRONG PEOPLE are listed as having responsibility when they don’t actually have it. This is LITERALLY “cooking the books”.
    • I just smell the corrupting influence of Eric Holder here. This is from DOJ, and very likely at the behest of one or more of Obama’s “Furies”. All the DNC bots are pressuring DOJ and FBI to “do something” about Trump.
  •  FBI domestic terrorism cases are being opened on innocent American citizens who were nowhere near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, based on anonymous tips to an FBI hotline or from Facebook spying on their messages. These tips are turned into investigative tools called “guardians,” after the FBI software that collates them.
    • WOLF: This is very serious, but not unexpected. In the desperation to “get more people”, FBI management is ignoring simple aspects of good investigation.
    • The J6 operation (“Fedsurrection”, “Buffalo Jump”) did not yield the desired results, which would have enabled all of Trump’s supporters (a HUGE chunk of this nation, and most “patriots”) to be silenced and “put on the run” using the entirety of the national security apparatus and the corporate media chorus. That simply did not happen, when patriots who went inside the Capitol building IGNORED CNN-Antifa-DeepState traitor John Sullivan’s calls to “burn it down”.
    • Realistically, only people who engaged in actual violence against police or broke into the Capitol building are morally at fault. People who were waved into the Capitol building – I’m sorry – prosecuting them is just sad justice at best. Same with “trespassing” against people on the outside. WE HAD A REGISTERED, PERMITTED RALLY AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING. The fact that the rally area was on the WRONG SIDE of the Capitol, was TOO SMALL, and was not properly marked or instructed to the crowd, was bad enough, and in my mind, part of the plot (Pelosi clearly had a role, as did McConnell). But then, when the crowd was either let into the building, or TOLD TO GO TO THE WEST WALL TO YELL by the “authorities”, and then FIRED UPON – seriously. Going after such people is horrifying. This will be the downfall of the FBI – right there.
    • This is just more “blame the victim” – a communist specialty – but being pushed out through FBI lowers.
  •  The FBI has post-facto designated a grassy area outside the Capitol as a restricted zone, when it was not restricted on Jan. 6, 2021, in order to widen the net of prosecutions.
    • WOLF: THIS right here is exactly what I’ve been expecting ALL ALONG – that FIB would begin going after the innocent.
    • In order to set up a “precursor” for going after this larger body of Trump supporters, who protested peacefully outside the building, the corrupt DOJ and FBI management needed to pose a PHONY PROBLEM of “domestic violent extremists all over the country” – and now they have innocent people from “all over the country” to fill the bill. SICK!
    • But it is even worse, because if you combine this item with the previous item in this list – that the FBI is blindly going after anybody with “suspicion” of being anywhere near the Capitol building, the FBI can LITERALLY go after anybody who was in Washington DC on January 6, 2021.
    • That is hundreds of thousands of people – maybe a MILLION.
    • So YEAH – FIB management can spread this lie all over the United States.
  •  The FBI intends to prosecute everyone even peripherally associated with J6 and another wave of J6 subjects are about to be referred to the FBI’s Daytona Beach resident agency “for investigation and arrest.”
    • WOLF: BOOM!!! This is exactly what I was predicting.
    • I KNEW that they would not stop with only the people who went inside the building.
    • ALL OF US who were in DC that day are going to be arrested, if this shit moves forward, and I have zero reason to believe that it will stop.
    • The NAZIS and COMMIES of the UNIPARTY are going to come after us. It’s THAT SIMPLE.
  •  The Jacksonville area was “inundated” with “guardian” notifications and FBI agents were dispatched to conduct surveillance and knock on people’s doors, including people who had not been in Washington, DC, on Jan. 6, 2021, or who had been to the Trump rally that day but did not go ­inside the Capitol.
    • WOLF: BOOM!!! This is exactly what I suspected. They are going after EVERYBODY who was there to see Trump.
    • But it will be even bigger than THAT, because this will enable them to go after people who simply “supported Trump” and “might have gone to Washington DC on January 6, 2021”, but were not actually there. All that is needed is a REPORT.
    • This is going to create a classic NAZI “snitch” situation. It’s rather incredible.

SO – what is to be done?

First of all, you need to watch all of the following videos.

How and why you should not talk to the FBI.

More reasons not to talk.

What FBI agents will try to do “nicely” to get you to hurt yourself and other patriots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQJOylbLYJY

More scoop about how they will try to get you to “negotiate” into meeting their lies half-way.

Ten tactics they will use on you.

Now, there are more deadly tricks you need to watch out for.

One of the January Sixth prisoners has stated that he was placed in a vehicle with a GUN on the floor of the back seat in which he was placed. If you can find a link to that case, please post it. The fact that the “J6er” lived to tell us about it, shows that he played it correctly and didn’t fall for whatever trick was in play. Fingerprints on the gun? ENTRAPMENT?

It’s all very FIB.

The bottom line – the DIRTY FEDS play DIRTY. Do not fall for ANY tricks.

As Wheatie liked to say, we WILL get through this.

Preparation, in my opinion, is key.

Suspicious Wolf is suspicious.

“California man allegedly plotted ‘Las Vegas-style’ mass shooting

 
“A California man was arrested Sunday for allegedly plotting a “Las Vegas-style” mass shooting and threatening to kill cops, police said.

Dallas Marsh, 37, was taken into custody by SWAT officers at a Super 8 motel in Chico after detectives obtained evidence of his plot, according to a police statement.”

What do you think happened here?

Wonder if his other outfit has short hair, sunglasses, and the other FIB accessories….

Who knows. For now, NOT buying the headlines.

LE “knows” a specified deadline, have the guy in custody, but won’t state the deadline. Hmmm.

So where was the shooting supposed to take place? No details. Hmmm.

Dude is arrested. NO MENTION of weapons, ammunition, explosives… Hmmm.

Then, the holy grail is revealed.

  • Army vet. Delta Force Commander. White. Male.
  • HLS will be proud. Domestic white male veteran terrorist.
  • The only missing is, “Trump supporter”.

Definitely FIB is involved here, using a JTTF (“fusion center”). This is so that FIB can act through locals and hide out as an internal intelligence agency instead of LE.

The guy probably made social media posts. FIB has a file on him. Dude likely said something stupid. They jump him, bring him in, and he says more stupid stuff.

BUT I REPEAT MYSELF….

EXACTLY – you nailed it – this guy fits the narrative.

I need to dump my new post – this fits right in.

1


This guy very likely made stupid social media posts, but was manipulated into being triggered during an interview. See how this works?

There is great likelihood that – ACTING AS INTELLIGENCE AND NOT LE (see Kyle Seraphin interviews – note what he says about the “counterintelligence” division which is SEPARATE from the criminal division) – FIB helped push this guy so that he WOULD be triggerable during an interview. Then, FIB’s hands are clean. See how that works?

Do I suspect there was entrapment here? YOU BETCHA. Dude was in California – right? FIB likely has free rein to do whatever it wants in Blue Commie States.

If you listen to the Bongino interviews above, Kyle Seraphin basically explains how FBI agents will often “advise people not to say anything”, to make a stupid case go away.

THE OPPOSITE CAN HAPPEN – and it likely WILL right now, as the DIRTY DEM FBI tries to create narrative cases based on social media posts.

They are trying to CREATE CASES.

Their tactic will be to bring you in and RILE YOU UP.

I REPEAT – DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE.

Better still, PRACTICE NOW how you will not talk to them. Until you are REALLY GOOD.

Because you ARE really good.

Selection.Code Movie

My one-line review:

“This movie is terrible in so many ways, and yet it’s awesome, fascinating, and needs to be seen, so I highly recommend it.”

I think this is a Mike Lindell movie. It’s like an Amazon movie without Amazon. It was clearly made on a shoestring, and the people who made it, clearly tried to do something much bigger, and didn’t have the money, so they threw together what they had.

The misaligned audio is just horrible. HORRIBLE. Jaw-droppingly bad.

AND YET – it’s great.

NOW I understand what Dominion is doing, by ENABLING cheating.

NOW I understand why Colorado has gone to hell.

NOW I understand how the American government has been taken over by a literal shadow government, that will run roughshod over any state in which it can take over the electoral system.

NOW I understand how “they” put “warm bodies” like Jenna Griswold into positions that don’t need a master criminal – just a “cat” that’s dumb enough to be permanently away, so the mice can play all day – but who, in an “emergency” of the truth getting out, will follow orders and go along with a criminal conspiracy that they themselves are absolutely unqualified to confront, even if they wanted to do it.

This movie is a VERY clear vision of the criminality we are up against.

SO – I really recommend wasting an hour that you will never get back, seeing this, despite all the flaws.

But, while you’re at it, enjoy the cringe.

Three Little Graphs That Say It’s All One Big Lie


TL;DR – This post explains three graphs which all gave me “AHA” moments when I saw them. They all reveal lies in public science, which are used to manipulate humanity. Strategic and fundamental lies in climate science and planetary history are used to justify more tactical lies in energy and medicine. Together, these three graphs indict the sabotaged and weaponized public science which is being used against humanity.

All of this conforms to a concise and remarkably prescient warning by President (and former General) Dwight D. Eisenhower.

While there is much deep science in each graph, certain basic principles are easily seen without a technical background. Those ideas provide the “wait a second” thought needed for proper scientific skepticism.

If you want to get the “executive tour” and finish this in under 5 minutes, just read through anything that says TL;DR in bold, and the images next to the headline text. If you have 30 minutes, watch the videos next to TL;DR. If you have an hour or two, read everything.


If you read THIS paragraph, then consider the slow route. Or consider doing the TL;DR fast track first, and then coming back for the full ride.


Mood Music


Introduction

I wanted to keep this short, but I know that’s almost impossible. I’ve put off this post until I was ready, but I wasn’t ready until I heard this music (see above), while reading over an older post that aged well in a variety of ways.


The Molnupiravir Contradiction

Why would we mass treat a virus with a drug which forces the virus to mutate, when mutation is how the virus creates new variants that reinfect the vaccinated? Before I explain the title contradiction, let me start with an admission. Most of my life, I have been very friendly with the pharmaceutical industry. I …


The point I saw was that mass formation psychosis has been used at all levels of science, and the only way for us to fix science now is

MASS FORMATION AWARENESS.

Be part of it. NOW.

Q = MFA

(The equation is a bit of a joke – but you are welcome to elaborate it humorously, fellow nerds.)

I had thought that maybe I was putting off this post until the last post was done, but the next post was always the last one, and I knew that I would always find just one more post to do first.

Nope. Now is the time. The last “Wheatie” post is in the can, strengthening my soul, and in hearing this song that I used for it, while knowing that we are on the right path, I’m suddenly ready.

There is a certain beautiful sadness in knowing that I’ve remained silent about even ONE lie for far too long. And now, with THREE beautiful lies – three FURIES against mankind – it’s time to take them all on.

It’s The Jabs

TL;DR – The Ethical Skeptic analyzed CDC data for causes of death in the US. By looking at deaths caused by blood and immune disorders, but not by COVID itself, vs. projections from pre-COVID data, two things show up – more “late” deaths related to COVID, and a MUCH BIGGER group of similar deaths that started precisely with the jabs.

You can see this in the graph as space between the two curves, widening first in Spring 2020 (twice), and much more in April 2021, coincident with the biggest deployment of the jabs.

I’m pretty sure Ethical Skeptic doesn’t believe in God, but that does nothing to keep me from saying “Thank God for Ethical Skeptic”. When Truth is an unyielding goal of individuals, they don’t need to agree on what Truth is, to create a world of good faith.

It was gil00 who brought me this tweet, wondering if it was important. I told her at the time that I needed to do a post on it, but that is just the beginning of its importance. Tradebait, Gail Combs, and the rest of the gang, also saw that this was a biggie.

The fact that it contains one of three graphs that “change everything”, should give you an idea of exactly how important I think it is.

ALL Americans need to understand this graph.

No – I take that back. All intelligent life within the sphere of influence of this planet and this moment need to understand this graph. THEY THE PEOPLE need to understand exactly who they’re dealing with.

Let’s blow that up a bit…..

Before telling you WHY, let me assure you that there are MANY more graphs like this, which will all say roughly the same thing – IF one is honest enough to let the data talk. I choose this graph because it’s probably the clearest and simplest that I’ve seen so far – due in large part to its creator, The Ethical Skeptic, or “TES” as I will refer to him now.

We have talked about TES’s work before, since he emerged as one of the most skillful and impossible-to-censor critics of what might be called “Fauci science”. I may quibble with minor points on his more far-reaching hypotheses and theories, but I always find that his general and bigger principles “age spectacularly well”, and are best taken very seriously at the earliest possible moment.

Again, hence the need for this post.

Here is what I said originally – it was my “initial reaction”. You don’t have to follow it too closely, unless you find it all obvious. I’m going to explain this in detail.

By looking just at blood and immune disorders, and comparing mortality of 2018-2019 (pre-COVID) as a baseline (which was then extended by seasonal extrapolation into 2020, 2021 and 2022, with normal population increase meaning a slight increase in deaths), and then looking at 2018-2022 actual for all years, using the actual figures, but removing COVID, one can see the population reduction effect of the jabs, as the excess cardio and immune mortality, which just keeps increasing with time.

It’s clear as a bell in the data, when one compares to the “expected deaths based on the last two years of pre-COVID times”.

The striking thing is how STRONGLY the sum which includes 2020 and 2021 deviates away from the prior years, starting exactly with the jabs.

2020 includes TESTING of jabs.
2021 includes DEPLOYMENT of jabs.
2022 includes BOOSTING of jabs.

It’s a depop shot. And it works. All they would have had to do is dial up the dose just enough, while normalizing the deaths with the media, and it’s totally tunable to the rate of depop that one desires.

OK – so what does all that mean?

Let’s take it slower.

First of all, at any time, you can go to theethicalskeptic.com and check out his article on this topic, which does not YET have THIS particular graph (except in the comments), but which will likely have said graph in the next two parts of the article.

LINK: https://theethicalskeptic.com/2022/08/20/houston-we-have-a-problem-part-1-of-3/

I also call your attention to this highlighted point made near the beginning of the article.

Nonetheless, by the end of 2021 it had become abundantly clear that US citizens were not just dying of Covid-19 to the excess, they were also now dying of something else, and at a rate which eventually became higher than that of Covid itself.

The Ethical Skeptic, Houston, We Have a Problem (Part 1 of 3)

If you just read that, where TES couches his words VERY carefully, and you know what he’s hinting at, then you know why I said this is one of the three big graphs you need to understand. He ain’t lyin’. My only quibble is that I suspect that his estimate of “decades” of damage to health policy may be conservative, and “centuries” is a horrifying possibility.

Are you ready to dig into the graph?

GOOD. Here we go.

Let’s start with some ACRONYMS.

  • NHCS = National Center for Health Statistics
  • MCD = MCoD = Multiple Cause of Death
  • UCoD = Underlying Cause of Death
  • ICD-10 = International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision
  • MMWR = Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
  • wk = week
  • M-Avg = moving average (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average)
  • Dnm (n = 5-8, m = 0-9) = Death codes

This is enough to understand it fully.

The basic graph is DEATHS going up on the left, and TIME going across from left to right, over a period of YEARS.

The DEATHS on the left are showing from 350 per week (at the bottom left) to 950 per week (at the top left). That means that we are not seeing the 0-350 region, which is featureless and below the portion of the graph that we can see. It’s a legitimate suppression – it’s not hiding anything except relative magnitudes of the changes to a SMALL extent, and it helps us see the differences in those changes better. It’s a magnifier – just remember that it’s there.

The title says that this is US-NCHS data for Multiple Cause of Death, meaning it’s looking at all causes of death listed on death certificates in the US and then databased by the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the CDC. This database is then searchable online.

The title also says that this data is for SELECTED cause-of-death codes listed in the ICD-10 system. The data runs up to week 29 of 2022, and is adjusted for the lag in reporting to CDC at the end (see right-hand side).

Let’s jump briefly to the topic of those codes.

Using the drop-down buttons you can see in the image, TES has chosen death codes 50-89, but has excluded COVID-19. Those codes are briefly described as “diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs” (but excluding COVID-19). TES has also selected ALL ages.

In the lower left you can see several descriptions of that different groups of the D-codes mean. Generally speaking, these are related to blood, blood-forming organs, and some immune problems. We will quote from TES himself about these later.

This does NOT include cardiac arrests, strokes, and certain other “stereotypical” clot-shot diseases, but it DOES include more “obscure” diseases that we can intuitively expect would be affected by both COVID and the CLOT SHOT. Thus, it serves as a kind of sensitive test for “something bad in the blood”.

A critical point for understanding is in the subtitle below the title.

2020/21/22 Compared to Baseline 2018/19

What this means is that what we are really doing OVERALL is looking at the 3 years of data “from and after Wuhan COVID”, 2020-2022, and comparing those numbers to “before Wuhan COVID”, 2018-2019. This explains why there are TWO curves on the graph. But in order to do this VALIDLY, we have to PROJECT the numbers from 2018-2019 FORWARD into the next three years, since the baseline would automatically increase on its own. Thus, we have TWO CURVES that run for all 5 years.

It helps to look at the red dashed curve first. This is listed as 2018-2019 Baseline 5 week moving average. Don’t worry about the “moving average” stuff. What this does is to take a bunch of scattered points and smooths them into closer points that can be used to draw a curve through them. It’s a neat trick to create the “best curve through scattered points”.

You can see that this is a bumpy “sawtooth” curve, higher in the winter, lower in the summer, and slowly rising over time. Typically, over time, this is what you see. Every year can be predicted largely from one or more prior years. You just take the past, find all the patterns you can, and project them all into the future.

There is a related red note in the lower left corner of the graph that says “1.4% baseline growth rate”. This is the annual growth in the baseline numbers from 2018-2019. The numbers vary rather strongly from month to month, but not much year from year, meaning that it’s easy to predict what they SHOULD look like in future years, such as 2020, 2021, and 2022. Each year will look pretty much like the last, months and weeks will go up and down, but day to day it will be 1.4% higher than the previous year, following the patterns of previous years.

This idea works remarkably well.

OK – so what is the pink solid line? THAT is the ACTUAL NUMBERS, for all five years, from week to week, using a 7-week moving average, and reporting it as the LAST week of the seven weeks. This is where we’re going to find any interesting phenomena.

The use of a DIFFERENT number of weeks for the multi-week moving average serves as a kind of sanity check in the region where both curves derive from the same ACTUAL data (2018-2019). The curves will not be much different, and the differences are just an artifact of the methodology, but if you see a big difference in that region of the same actual data in both curves, it’s probably meaningful, and probably something WRONG in your processing of the data.

Any minor differences you DO see in the region of actual data vs. itself (2018-2019), serve as a nice comparison of SCALE to any systematic differences you see in the 2020-2022 region, which is the region of ACTUAL DATA (pink solid) versus PROJECTED DATA (red dashed).

For example, if TES has a similar graph for some code like automobile accidents or choking on food, you can confidently predict that ACTUAL data for 2020-2022 should match the curve for PROJECTED DATA from 2018-2019 fairly closely – apart from any unexpected societal effects of COVID such as lockdowns, but those would then appear rationally in the data.

SO WHAT DO WE SEE?


TL;DR – the actual deaths begin to exceed the projected deaths in stages, with a lesser jump happening due to COVID itself, but a far bigger jump (over 2.5 times as big) happening after people began taking the jabs in a big way in April of 2021.


Looking at the two curves with the innocence of a child, we see them separating in stages. We see them separate a certain amount (call it 1X) during spring and early summer of 2020 (call this region 1), then separating about twice as much (2-3X) during summer, fall and winter of 2020, and early spring of 2021 (region 2). Then, in late spring of 2021, the separation grows suddenly and substantially (7-10X) (region 3), and it just keeps growing into 2022 (15X+).

This is NOT an accident. TES knew that the vaccines began being given in a big way around week 14 of 2021 (early mid-April), as shown by this graph.

TL;DR – this additional graph shows how the slope (derivative) of total jab doses given is used to see when most of the jabs were administered. This is near the beginning of dosing, and explains the sudden rapid widening between the two curves in the primary graph. It’s a “pandemic of vaccination” much like COVID itself.

Based on this date, TES looked for ICD codes which show a dramatic WIDENING at “Critical Inflection 1” – meaning when the jabs were introduced (what I called the beginning of region 3), VERSUS any prior widening in spring of 2020, when COVID-19 of the Wuhan strain was introduced (what I called the beginning of “region 1”).

Stated differently, TES is only counting things which appeared dramatically MORE for the jabs, than they did for COVID itself.

Basically, TES is being “too fair” to the jabs. We know that there are many causes of death by both COVID and the JABS, “because spike protein”, but if it’s not overwhelmingly obvious IN THE DATA that they’re significantly and primarily due to the jabs, he’s not counting them.

He’s letting a bunch of jab deaths “get away”, to make sure that he’s indicting only real jab deaths.

As a side-note, this is what Gregg Phillips did with True The Vote’s geospatial data, by only counting the most blatant and obviously organized mule data (10 drop boxes and 5 stash houses). It becomes almost impossible to criticize the science, when data is winnowed down to exclude even the most marginally debatable data.

Deny the unethical skeptics even a foothold, and they cannot even begin to raise an unethical argument.

Pretty BOSS LEVEL if you ask me.

Here is what TES has to say about the ICD codes that he used.

With regard to these select ICD-10 codes, I have endeavored to highlight only those which have exhibited a stark difference between their arrival patterns during the 2020 pandemic period, and that period after MMWR Week 14 2021. While there are indeed increases in deaths incumbent inside the other ICD-10 codes, those increases appeared to plausibly conform to their same arrival patterns for 2020 as well. In other words, they appeared to be heavily Covid-related in their dynamics, both before and after the Week 14 2021 inflection.

Of particular concern, are those deaths which relate to body-wide regulatory systems as opposed to specific organs or causes. In other words, cancer and lymphomas, heart, autonomous myocarditis/pericarditis/conductive disorders, injuries to the liver and kidneys, etc. These are not only the canaries in the coal mine in terms of pathology, but may serve to indicate as well that a pervasive systemic disruption is at play inside the average US citizen human physiology, especially over the last 71 weeks. These are the death groups which exhibit the most stark trend of increase post MMWR Week 14 2021.

There have nevertheless been some attempts to “take down” TES’s analysis, but after two of them were burnt to a crisp on Twitter, it’s pretty clear that these attacks were not “ethical skepticism”, but in fact beautiful examples of what has happened to science in the wake of politicization and corruption. One academic was even outed by a sharp Twitter user as a practiced shill for the Faucism narrative, referred to humorously as “a regular on the fact-check circuit”.

NOW, knowing what the graph means – that the cure turned out to be worse than the disease (something which Trump said could not happen, thus forcing a coup to maintain the plot) – it is really worth it to go back and read TES’s article, if you have not already.

LINK: https://theethicalskeptic.com/2022/08/20/houston-we-have-a-problem-part-1-of-3/

It’s tough science, but even if you just “kinda get it”, it’s WORTH IT.

It is important to read the comments at the end, too. Not only does TES have links to his Twitter defenses, and the graph highlighted in this article appears – there is comment by somebody who did a rough calculation based on mRNA therapies that have failed human trials in the past. Based on his calculations…. well, let me just quote.

Great work. I did a small quick model using a Gaussian Distribution over 9 years to see what the numbers would be each year for “events” given 80% of the total population vaccinated had active ingredients and would develop events similar to past other mRNA failed trials. 7,887 deaths per week is about 179% above my model for 2022. If the past is indeed playing out here, this excess deaths per week will increase by a factor of 9 over the next year. Most adverse events in past similar trials did not take place until year three. By year six, 84% of the cohort was positive for adverse events.

https://theethicalskeptic.com/2022/08/20/houston-we-have-a-problem-part-1-of-3/#comment-12577

TL;DR – It’s now very likely that these late jab deaths will increase dramatically during the next few years, based on mRNA therapy trial information which was available but seemingly ignored.

Watch this video if you have 3 minutes.

I would even go so far as to say that this highly censored video of an alleged mRNA trial participant from several years ago (see above), breaking his NDA and claiming serious cardiac problems affecting almost all of the people in his trial, may not be a fraud.

If that video is entirely true, then based on his numbers, my assessment is that his trial was very likely a secret depopulation trial flying under the false flag of a secret mRNA therapy trial. Which may then make COVID-19 and the jabs, the mother of all false flags.

In my opinion it is important to force the finding and recognition of the truth, so that we can begin saving the people who are not lucky.

Any effort to work toward #TeamHeadsOnPikes to prevent the next one of these incidents from happening, is a separate problem I leave for others. I’m a bit too good at forgiving.

TL;DR – There has been plenty of data telling us that the jabs are problematic, but now we are faced with very clear proof that CDC must easily see in their own data, yet pretends not to see. Combine these two memes.

The illogical arguments conceal real goals and tactics.

Buckle up. They know we know, and they have a plan for it.


Even More Mood Music

(Because you must FEAR CARBZILLA!)

Carbon Dioxide Is Life’s Friend and Savior

TL;DR – This graph shows terrestrial life’s remarkably high tolerance for carbon dioxide (which is basically recirculating plant life), but poor tolerance of meteoric impacts during times of low CO2 and preliminary glaciation. We are being severely gaslit, to see climate science backwards, and to operate from reflexive fears which prevent full, true and larger understanding.

The graph you see above is NOT the first one that I saw, which blew my mind, but it’s very similar. The one I saw was basically the orange line, and may have been GEOCARB III or a comparable study. It had the exact same principle features, which told me the same things.

Apparently I missed the “mass formation psychosis” in climate science, and just happened to walk in with my “They Live” glasses on.

Let me state for the record that “I am neither a professional geologist nor an earth scientist, but I have loved the subjects my whole life, and I can read a graph.”

More crucially, I have always been an “allied science fan” of geology and earth science – in part because earth chemistry and earth biology happen on this wonderful planet called Earth. Follow either of these sciences back to the basics, and earth science matters.

Back to the graph.

It’s worth explaining the basics of the scale across the bottom, which is time.

We are at the very end of the graph – a slice so thin that our lives will not show up even under a magnifier. Bring out a microscope and see a tiny hair’s breadth under it. That’s us.

We are at the most recent edge of the Neogene – which is the N on the bottom of the graph. That N is 23 million years. The “preparatory ancestry” of anything strongly resembling our kind easily fits into that, as best as we can tell. You might call it “the age of man“, where man includes pre-men and barely men.

Probably even these guys and gals.

Humans trying to understand climate science.

Next to the left is the Paleogene, abbreviated Pg. This is the “age of mammals“. You will note that while it is much bigger than the Neogene, it is still a VERY SMALL fraction of the history of life on the planet.

Let’s blow it up a bit, using a DIFFERENT type of graph, which is more of a timeline. More recent is at the top.

The three most significant climate events of that time period are on the right. They all bear explanation.

First, Antarctica got its first RECENT permanent ice sheets only a bit over 50 million years ago, near the END of this prior period, and the start of the “age of man”. When you see NOVA specials about Antarctic dinosaurs, or read about fossil specimens from Antarctica, this is why you see them. Antarctica used to be WARM, and gradually cooled down.

Interestingly, Antarctica has never* (*not settled) strayed far from the South Pole. It has not wandered “north-south” as much as many other land masses.

LIFE has at most times covered the entire globe. Life had not RETREATED from the poles to the extent that is has now. Indeed, polar life may have assisted in recovery from some mass extinctions, where prompt damage occurred primarily at the middle latitudes due to normal circulation patterns.

Next, look at the event called “PETM”, which stands for Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum. It’s actually a SPIKE that looks like the thin spike in THIS graph.

This graph is looking at global temperatures (green curve) as determined from oxygen isotopes, VERSUS time, across the “age of mammals”. Recent is on the right.

WOW. Will you look at how much temperatures have fallen. And look at that crazy chaotic glaciation in the lower right, flirting repeatedly with the snowball Earth of the Permian Extinction (to be discussed in a bit).

I don’t know about y’all, but if I had to be concerned about something, it might be that.

TL;DR – it is impossible to look a graphs which show life bottoming hard against planetary freeze, in the big picture of carbon dioxide (recirculating plant life) bottoming hard in conjunction, and walk away with any true sympathy for worries about increasing CO2 and warming. CO2 in times of its relative absence is either not a problem, or a “good problem”. It appears to me that a cultivated science error has been used to create a social hysteria and then a mass formation psychosis.

In a sense, we are ALL the “polar bears of the dinosaurs”. Is that a good thing? I think it’s worth asking, even just theoretically, never implying the need to “do something” about it.

Anyway, that little SPIKE you see in the spiky curve to the left, is an actual example of a “climate change crisis”. It was probably due to sudden period of massive volcanic activity throwing a bunch of CO2 into the air, although that’s not “settled science”. If there was a weird “solar excursion”, or undersea heating of the oceans (see extremely useful “non-eruptive volcanism” proposals by TES for part of recent global warming), then it could have been something else. Whatever it was, it seems to have been sharp enough to have probably been a single thing.

Note also that Earth got to the same point some years later, anyway.

Don’t fear the seasons. They’re not the reaper.

Lastly, we see in the timeline, at the beginning of the Paleogene, the K-Pg mass extinction, (also called, in its evidentiary form, the K-T boundary) which was almost certainly due to an asteroid impact, but possibly also reinforced by subsequent volcanism.

You may recall Steve’s post about this, but if you don’t, then take a quick detour and refresh your memory on the details.


Iridium: The Smoke From The Smoking Gun

4.567 billion years ago, our solar system began to “condense” from the nebula. Clumps of dust particles began to come together, part of a poorly-understood process that eventually led to the planets. The nebula had a potpourri of “stuff” in it. Mostly elements up to iron, with a heavy leavening of ones after iron, created in supernovas or even neutron star collisions. (Most gold is believed to have come out of neutron star collisions…next time you admire that gold coin or your wedding band…think about where that stuff has been! Any of it not from a collision got blasted out of a supernova at 70,000,000 miles per hour.)……

https://www.theqtree.com/2021/04/03/2021%c2%b704%c2%b703-joe-biden-didnt-win-daily-thread/

Steve explained that while most of paleontology favors the “impact theory”, there has been a long-standing volcanic theory of the extinction, and even a group who believes that BOTH theories are not only correct, but connected.

With my taste for “AND logic”, you can predict where I would most likely fall in that debate – in the “it’s both of them, and they’re connected” camp.

Does that sound sketchy? Maybe a little too much of a coincidence? Is Wolf going out on a limb here?

Notice that by mentioning that Steve had mentioned this “theory of both”, I used PEER INFLUENCE to change your minds. Now I will use MSM acceptance to further change your minds.

TL;DR – Theories about impacts leading to increased volcanism also implicated in extinctions, are quite appealing to me, personally, as a kind of “general volcanism” (impact + rebound), but the whole thing is NOT settled science by any means. Just remember what I always say about “AND logic”. It solves scientific divisions, too.

But wait – I want to make a point about the Fake News in action, spinning science to keep it divided.

Yes, you see the “AND” logic right in the title. And if you read the article, the whole point is that there is increasing evidence of a causal connection between the impact and the volcanism.

But notice the wording in the title versus the subtitle. The title tells you, but does not emphasize, that the conjoint, causatively connected, unified theory brings two scientific camps together, both being correct. Then the subtitle tries to shift things over to one of the explanations, and to minimize the role of the impact.

The 160 million-year reign of the ‘terrible lizards’ may actually have ended due to events in India rather than an asteroid crashing into the sea off the coast of Mexico as previously thought

“RATHER THAN”?

“Rather than” an asteroid the size of Mount Everest?

It’s very clear folks – THEY WANT YOU DIVIDED.

By now you know, it’s just what they do. DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Indeed, I tend to think it’s what they’re TRAINED to do.

The FAKE NEWS controls science FAR MORE than most scientists are willing to admit.

But let’s get back to our story of the unified theory of impact AND rebound volcanism.

The primary CLIMATIC effects of the asteroid impact are believed to have been blast heating, followed by an “impact winter”, followed by chaotic climate, possibly including a greenhouse due to vaporized CO2 and SO2, followed by the same thing from further classic volcanism. The whole planet was definitely MESSED UP.

TL;DR –

HOT (impact). COLD (darkness). HOT AGAIN (greenhouse).

Then repeat the latter two for post-impact volcanism.

A constant, unified pattern of impact extinctions, layered on the preexisting, livable climate, at a surprisingly wide range of levels of carbon dioxide.


So what was there before that?

THE DINOSAURS. That is “K”, the Cretaceous Period (in English).

You will notice that T (or Tr), J and K are the three big periods of the dinosaurs with which most of us are familiar – the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

Let’s look at our graph again.

Yes. This “age of dinosaurs” was a period of warm temperatures and high carbon dioxide. Both much higher than what we have now, but – bear with me – there was a lot of LIFE, too – am I not right?

Well, what’s that stuff to the LEFT of the “age of dinosaurs” – around the end of “C” (Carboniferous) and the beginning of “P” (Permian – the “age of reptiles”)?

Why, it looks like low carbon dioxide, almost as low as we have now. In FACT, if you look even further back in time to the left – at the ages of sea organisms (Cm, O, S), fishes (D), and amphibians (C), what you’re basically seeing is a CRASH of carbon dioxide, ending in LOW CO2 around C and P.

And interesting that this slide had already resulted in massive glaciation of the planet, which existed at the beginning of the Permian.

Interesting that there were THREE BIG EXTINCTIONS along that slide, at O, D, and finally at P.

There is a LOT of debate about these extinctions, and particularly the near-total Permian (P) Extinction, also sometimes known as the P-T extinction event, because it occurred at the END of the Permian and the beginning of the Triassic.

Of course, global warming explanations of this event are favored by the single-minded corporate media, but IMO some of the best theories of the P-T extinction are actually based on an “iceball Earth” scenario, for which there is some interesting geological evidence.

The idea that an already glaciated Earth (Permian) was sent into deep freeze by an impact and response volcanism makes sense, and we would expect the extinctions to be more extensive than with the less glaciated or non-glaciated Cretaceous extinction of the dinosaurs, which happened to a generally warmer planet, thus sparing mammals and birds.

TL;DR – As the most significant extinctions have occurred at times of low CO2 and high glaciation, the main danger to life on Earth seems not to be global warming from CO2, which protects life from near-total extinctions. The main threat is solar blocking (see Bill Gates) and deep cooling, caused by meteoric impacts and rebound volcanism, which is more dangerous during times of low CO2 and high glaciation, like now or during the Permian Extinction.

In fact, I find the idea that we can use a single extinction mechanism repeatedly – a mechanism of “impact plus response volcanism, leading to plant death and further crises”, with the differences in outcome depending upon the size and location of the impact, plus the prior state of the climate, to be very satisfying – particularly in explaining why we find evidence for ALL of the various divided theories.

Furthermore, if response volcanism is a correct theory, then the general warmth and higher carbon dioxide of the “age of dinosaurs” may be explained by a truly massive impact being not only the cause of the P-T extinction, but also creating hundreds of millions of years of increased volcanism in its wake.

But all of that is debatable.

The big picture is this. Look at the graph again.

TL;DR – The Earth has supported life easily for eons because of MORE carbon dioxide, not less. There is no “climate emergency”, and certainly not one related to increasing carbon dioxide for ANY reason at this point. If anything, incipient normal solar cooling and periodic ice age glaciation are actual climate concerns for society. But that is another story for another time.


One More Bit of Mood Music

(Real World by Matchbox 20)


Green Energy Is Pol Pot Madness

TL;DR – Even if there was a “climate emergency” (which there is not, see above), and even if “green energy” worked (which it does not, see graph), and even if green energy could “save the environment” (which it absolutely does the opposite, due to energy density fundamentals), what we are doing by forcing a sudden transition to a non-working energy infrastructure, is so utterly preposterous, wrong, and irrational, that it must be stopped.

This graph is the smoking gun of an intentional civilizational crash. It is our duty to grab the steering wheel and stop it.

This graph is probably the simplest to explain because it does not depend on the truth or falsehood of the underlying bad science that has been used to justify what is being done now.

There are some things you just don’t do.

It’s like an insane person coming into your house screaming “DANGER, DANGER” and pointing a gun at you. Even if there is some reason, it doesn’t matter – an insane person is pointing a gun at you, and THAT is the immediate danger. The evil person or people who SENT the insane person to your house must be dealt with, too, or this will keep happening. But that can happen after we survive the insane attack.

Humanity is being “swatted” by people made insane by – you guessed it – mass formation psychosis.

TL;DR – One cannot move humanity from the top curve in red, to the bottom curve in yellow, without killing most of them. It’s impossible. It means poverty, chaos, and destruction. The closest thing to what “somebody” is forcing on the West, is what China and the CIA did the the people of Cambodia, using the highly deluded Khmer Rouge, who insisted that all Cambodians had to leave cities and become agrarian.

Khmer Rouge Flag (Pol Pot)

Forcing humanity to “quit realistic energy now” is perfectly analogous to Pol Pot saying “We all have to become farmers now” at gunpoint, which killed millions of Cambodians in a horror of totalitarian brutality and systematic societal error.

If you don’t think we have a deluded set of Americans who could carry this out, just look at Antifa, filled with mentally ill “trans” males, all of them “politically fluid” and ready to serve the craziest causes, and then politically reverse on orders, the very next day. Antifa is being protected by the DOJ and FBI, which are also ready to stop or hinder any groups which oppose Antifa.

Now you can understand why Antifa and FBI helped each other on January Sixth.

They’re both on the same side – the side of the genocide.

And now Biden wants 87,000 federal “IRS Police”?

What this graph shows is the equivalent of telling a patient addicted to barbiturates that they must quit cold turkey, which is always fatal.

It’s like telling a lifelong juvenile diabetic that they must quit insulin NOW because insulin didn’t come from their own pancreas, and so it’s “foreign”, and no good. They must transition to “mRNA injections in the pancreas” right now! RIGHT NOW!!!

Yup. It is THAT insane – that malevolent – to say “quit all non-green energy now”. To even say “do it in the next century” is foolishness of historic proportions.

We are already seeing the effects of the insanity in the beginning energy problems we are having now. But we have seen NOTHING yet.

Add to THAT insanity, what amounts to yet another foolish collectivization of agriculture, which “error” of communism has repeatedly killed millions, in the Soviet Union and China, as well as in Cambodia, and you can see that the errors of a misled scientific elite are always catastrophic, whether intentional or accidental.

TL;DR – Eisenhower predicted that, in addition to the military industrial complex (MIC), a scientific and technological elite (STE) would become a danger to America and the world, and he even understood and predicted that this very moment might arrive.

If you have time (16 minutes), this presentation is critical to understanding the moment. Every second is worth hearing.

If you get the sense that somebody of malevolent intent was listening to Eisenhower’s speech, and began figuring out how to sabotage his vision of balance and sense, by pursuing a course to enhance and take advantage of precisely the dangers that Eisenhower warned about, then you are not alone.

Text of the Eisenhower Farewell Speech

LINK: https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/president-dwight-d-eisenhowers-farewell-address#transcript


My fellow Americans:

Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor.

This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on issues of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the Nation.

My own relations with the Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post-war period, and, finally, to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years.

In this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the national good rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the Nation should go forward. So, my official relationship with the Congress ends in a feeling, on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together.

******

We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite these holocausts America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America’s leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.

******

Throughout America’s adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad.

Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology-global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle-with liberty at stake. Only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment.

Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties. A huge increase in newer elements of our defense; development of unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture; a dramatic expansion in basic and applied research-these and many other possibilities, each possibly promising in itself, may be suggested as the only way to the road we which to travel.

But each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration: the need to maintain balance in and among national programs-balance between the private and the public economy, balance between cost and hoped for advantage-balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual; balance between action of the moment and the national welfare of the future. Good judgment seeks balance and progress; lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration.

The record of many decades stands as proof that our people and their government have, in the main, understood these truths and have responded to them well, in the face of stress and threat. But threats, new in kind or degree, constantly arise. I mention two only.

******

A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.

Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peace time, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.

Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United State corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

******

Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society’s future, we-you and I, and our government-must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

******

Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield.

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose difference, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war-as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years-I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.

Happily, I can say that war has been avoided. Steady progress toward our ultimate goal has been made. But, so much remains to be done. As a private citizen, I shall never cease to do what little I can to help the world advance along that road.

******

So-in this my last good night to you as your President-I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and peace. I trust that in that service you find somethings worthy; as for the rest of it, I know you will find ways to improve performance in the future.

You and I-my fellow citizens-need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nation’s great goals.

To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America’s prayerful and continuing inspiration:

We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.

Fact Checker Lies – Disproving Phony (and Possibly Planted) Evidence to Discredit The Whole


I have made it a minor hobby to study the Soviet methodology of “fact checkers”, who have raised political lying to a fine art. I even now use the word “snopesing” for one such technique, which I discussed long ago on my old personal blog.


Anatomy of a False Snopes Debunking

Today I was happy to discover a textbook Google/Snopes false debunking, yet also with some interesting new elaborations that made it…

https://wolfmoon1776.wordpress.com/2017/02/18/anatomy-of-a-false-snopes-debunking/

That post was actually a fun re-read right now. I encourage you to check it out. Snopes basically took a huge victory for our side, and reframed it as “untrue” by using a misleading strawman.

REALLY. Y’all are so obvious, Snopes. “Nopes, Snopes.”

Basically the “Snopes” technique amounts to “disproof of an adjacent strawman”. In that technique, a FALSE COPY of what is to be disproved, is either found or constructed and then disproved. The disproof is headlined OVER-BROADLY, so as to appear to show that the truth was “debunked”. It leaves the liars’ enemy – truth-tellers – babbling “Bu-bu-bu-but that’s not the actual case – THIS OTHER THING is the real story.” Maybe so, but the truth didn’t get out ahead of the LIARS – nor did it come back FAST and EFFECTIVELY, making the liars “bleed from their eyes like furies”. The technique puts the truth on DEFENSE, even in the case of a WIN, like the example I gave.

Today we look at something similar in principle but different in what is lied about, which involves disproving not a similar strawman scenario, but instead a conveniently accusatory piece of fake evidence, in such a way that it looks like the larger thing which was supported is what is disproved.

In the same way that we condensed the Snopes example to “disproof of an adjacent strawman”, we can call this one “disproof of false shilled evidence”.

One could likewise call today’s technique “disproof of Judas facts”.

Getting the “Judas facts” picked up by a MARK for the other side is KEY. I’ve watched this in action before, so I know what to look for.

Here is today’s example.


LINK: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/08/viral-image/photo-claiming-massive-crowd-trumps-aug-5-wisconsi/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/Y3l8s

This technique is actually a GREAT WAY of not just taking something down, but of negating something on its strongest point.

Allow me to explain how this works, from the Donkey Com perspective.

  • you are confronted with a Trump rally which was arranged fairly quickly, and was extremely well-attended. People are noticing. How do you get the Dem base not to notice that their peers are turning out for Trump, and to make sure they sneer at the NEXT Trump rally? How do you keep MAGA voters thinking THEY are a minority? How do you actually turn the facts around?
  • using different mechanisms and compartmentalization, you do the following
  • you have somebody tweet an even larger photo of a DIFFERENT rally, and have them claim it’s this rally. This is most likely a “fake MAGA” shill on Twitter. The best technique is to feed the fake photo to somebody like – OH – maybe a conservative commentator who is known to “borrow” and re-post photos without checking too closely. (This is a bit like “entrapment”, which we know the left never does.)
  • you request, call out, or perform a “fact check” on the photo, perhaps using a reliable “blue-check” on Twitter, or you feed it to your own “fact checkers” on Facebook
  • you “debunk the photo” in a misleading way, that makes it look like the Trump rally was actually small – not that one photo of it was too large and from a different rally
  • you make sure that the “mark” is sufficiently embarrassed and chooses to “go silent”, rather than to admit to the con job (which would enable crowdsource forensics) – then you go forward with the “fact check”

See how that works? It’s like a “debunking gun”.

Go back to the title above. What does it say?

Photo shows a “massive” crowd at a Trump rally in Wisconsin on Aug. 5, 2022.

What is next to the title?

So what EXACTLY is “false” here?

Now, the important MISTAKE that you are SUPPOSED to make here, when you don’t click the link, is to think that the Wisconsin Trump rally was not well-attended, and that “MAGA” had to resort to “fake pictures” to pretend that it was well-attended.

You’re supposed to put THAT fear-based or schadenfreude-gifting story into your brain, and just move on – don’t click on it. It’s PSYCHOLOGY.

The TRUTH is simply that the picture is of a DIFFERENT Trump rally, in Pensacola, Florida.

Here is the complete crux of the issue, which is admitted deep in the core of the “fact check”.

“But recent social media posts used an outdated photo to tout the size of the crowd.”

That’s it. It’s ALMOST the same “nothingburger” of BAD JOURNALISM that the left does all the time, and forgives itself for, routinely.

But don’t think I’m defending bad journalism – as you will see.

Thankfully, we can still see the DELETED TWEET where conservative talk show host Benny Johnson EXCITEDLY shared the image on Twitter.

BAD MOVE, BENNY. But good that somebody saved it.

LINK: https://www.truthorfiction.com/benny-johnsons-trumps-enthusiasm-is-bigger-than-in-2016-deleted-tweet/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/ldRqq

This analysis is from “Truth or Fiction” – a MUCH better “fact checker” site. As you can see, they are “showing their work”, so we can do some forensics.

Ask yourself – do you really think this Benny Johnson would tweet an easily confirmed “wrong picture” of the event if he KNEW it was a bogus picture? No. He’s not that stupid. But he WAS as stupid as I have been, sometimes, and forwarded a picture from a “surely reliable source” that turned out not to have been reliable.

If you remember TEN-GOP, then you know how easily people can be fooled on sources.

In my opinion, after looking over Benny Johnson’s Twitter, and reading this tweet, I think he really believed he was forwarding a picture of the rally. THEN, he was embarrassed by his own lazy image “borrowing”, and lack of fact-checking. In my opinion, it is likely that he was the victim of a rather smart discreditation operation, and is NOT simply a bald-faced and stupid liar. Loath to admit that he grabbed somebody’s photo off the internet and assumed it was real without checking or doing BASIC JOURNALISM, he just deleted the tweet and moved on, cutting his losses.

Could have even been an intern, for all we know. If so, TRAINING is needed (ask Wray!!!).

SO – bad journalist or both a bald-faced liar and stupid as hell? I’m going with bad journalist. At least for now. This seems confirmed by the opinion that Benny Johnson rarely deletes stuff that offends leftist sensibilities.

Normally, things would end there. Dude made a mistake. But that’s not what the left wants.

They want an ISSUE that they can exploit for MILLIONS of impressions.

So what they do is take the error and REFRAME IT exactly as you see.

They likewise use this for clickbait elsewhere, as a “FEATURED FACT-CHECK”, on OTHER “fact checks”. That is, in fact (cough), how I found this one – while looking at a NASA conspiracy theory debunking (which STILL does not work for me, but that’s A DIFFERENT STORY with far more troubling implications).



FALSE. That’s it. FALSE.

But let’s call the left on this a little bit.

Why didn’t the “fact checkers” call this MOSTLY TRUE? Why didn’t they call it “PARTIALLY TRUE”? Why did they not, at the least, call it “SOMEWHAT TRUE”?

They would CERTAINLY do that for a Biden rally or an Obama rally – AM I RIGHT?

A picture from a DIFFERENT Biden rally with 24 people instead of 12? Would that not get a pass? Maybe 120 instead of 12?

Let me speak for them. They would have been more honest.


“So while the photo is NOT a photo of the Biden rally in question, it is in fact a photo of a different Biden rally, taken during the 2020 election campaign.”

MOSTLY TRUE.


Here is how “PolitiFact” takes their carefully misleading question and goes from there to calling a well-attended Trump rally “false”, while pretending to just be honing in on an evidence problem.

PolitiFact conducted a reverse image search of the photo and found Trump’s son, Eric Trump, shared it on Twitter in November 2020. At the time, he used the image of a large, apparently pro-Trump crowd to push the false claim that the presidential election was rigged.

Molly Beck, a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, quote-tweeted Johnson’s now-deleted tweet and said the photo in question was not from the Aug. 5 rally. She also pointed to Eric Trump’s tweet as the source of the photo.

The scene depicted in this older photo does not match photos shared by reporters who were on site at the Aug. 5 Wisconsin rally. Media photos show a smaller crowd and a different event layout.

In the older photo, two large screens that read, “The best is yet to come!” can be seen. This was a slogan often used by Donald Trump during his 2020 campaign.

Meanwhile, media photos from the recent rally show two screens displaying the event’s speakers, including Trump, as well as a large, blue sign that said, “Save America!”

Additionally, photos from reporters show there were three bleachers of roughly the same size behind the stage at the event. But in the 2020 campaign photo, there is one large set of bleachers in the center and two smaller sets to the left and right.

Our ruling

Social media posts shared a photo from Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and claimed it was of an Aug. 5, 2022, rally in Wisconsin.

The photo in question does not show the Aug. 5 rally and can be traced back to a November 2020 tweet from Eric Trump. It also conflicts with several photos taken by reporters on site at the Aug. 5 Wisconsin rally.

We rate this claim False.

Whatever.


Conclusion

Now you know why it is IMPERATIVE to confirm materials from our sources. The left will ABUSE any error on our part.

AND – if it turns out that the source is suddenly dubious, you really need to DIG INTO the error, rather than running away.

BURN THE SOURCE TO GET TO THE TRUTH.

For me, the classic example of digging into a bogus meme and finding shocking truth was the ZIM shipping meme that Valerie brought here. I will not lie – Val brings an enormous amount of disinformation and CRAP here – but it was all worth it, to reset my thinking on how many of the elite skated on 9/11. She found some of the best circumstantial evidence, outside of convenient stock moves in the days preceding 9/11, that many top people knew the operation was coming. Whether these people were conspirators or just high-level would-be victims who got tipped, people knew the op was coming and did a GTFO.

Technically, the meme (which I cannot find now – it’s on Gab) was wrong on the length of ZIM’s lease at WTC, using waffly language to make 30 years of separate leases ending in a 10 year lease, into what was easily misconstrued as a 30-year lease. Likewise, it personified ZIM as the Rothschild family, who may or may not have been the controlling financial interest in the Israeli firm at the time. WHATEVER. Other than that, the meme was shockingly accurate in throwing 4 Suspicious Cats at ZIM’s ridiculously convenient and hasty move – despite a world of fact-checkers and “crusaders against antisemitism” waving their hands and saying “don’t look here”.

HA. The CHUTZPAH. It BURNS.

Closer to the current example, I watched a Breitbart journalist get set up with bogus information on Loretta Lynch – basically identifying the WRONG Loretta Lynch (a Clinton associate) as being Obama’s corrupt nomination to replace Eric Holder. This resulted in a defamatory article and a STEALTH RETRACTION BY BREITBART (“what article?”) – which was then (apparently) used to silence Breitbart completely on one of the most corrupt nominations in this nation’s history, since Loretta Lynch was a SORORITY SISTER of Eric Holder’s wife. Not a WORD followed on the REAL SCANDAL, after Breitbart was misled by SOMEBODY into publishing an ERROR.

Face the facts. CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT.

And they will say and do almost ANYTHING to cover it up.

We have ALWAYS got to be prepared for DISCREDITATION – but in my opinion, if you PUSH BACK on the discreditation and ADMIT YOUR ERROR – whatever it was – you automatically level up as a TRUTH WARRIOR. You will OFTEN find that the other side did something to entrap you.

Why?

Because WE value the truth and THEY do not.

PUT ON YOUR BELT, to hold up the PANTS OF CREDIBILITY.

Stick with the truth. No matter how unexpected, embarrassing, or unbelievable. At the same time, be BOLD in pointing out likely malfeasance, and MAKE THEM ANSWER OR RUN AWAY.

Dedication

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.

The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

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

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

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


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

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

Joe Biden didn’t win.

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


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:

parthenogenesis

noun

a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis.

Used in a sentence:

Parthenogenesis is defined as “obligate” when organisms exclusively reproduce through asexual means, while it is “facultative” when species that ordinarily rely on sexual reproduction can resort to facultative parthenogenesis under extenuating circumstances that isolate females from males.

Dear KMAG: 20220822 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

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

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And indeed, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

Maybe even handily!

And we will have fun doing it, too!


Dedication

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year:

eolith

noun

stone naturally formed but thought to be manufactured

Used in an explanatory paragraph:

The first act of the drama of tools is hazy. There are what have been called eoliths, “tools from the dawn of the Stone Age.” Such stones with sharp fractures, found in great quantities in layers from the geological epochs before the Pleistocene, were once assumed to be tokens of human presence in the preceding Pliocene and even earlier Miocene epochs. These rocks, fractured by glacier pressure, wave action, or temperature change, are no longer taken as indexes of humans, although primitive peoples undoubtedly used them as ready-made objects before they deliberately started to fracture similar rocks in the late Pliocene. There are detailed criteria by which human-flaked and nature-flaked stones can be almost unerringly distinguished. Human origin is also evidenced by association with detached flakes and the stones that served as hammers.
