Wolf here, getting ready (shortly after the Wolf Moon + Mars) to head to Washington, DC for the Trump-Vance 2025 Inauguration, otherwise known by the shorthand “T47 Inaugural” – or just T47 for short.
TL;DR- if you’re not in the mood to celebrate, then you need a dose of Patriot Realism, to get over your Battered Patriot Syndrome, which we are all suffering. Go check out TradeBait’s post HERE, and wake up to LIBERTY!
I had long told myself that I would be going to Trump’s second inauguration, as I had been to the first one in 2017, and really enjoyed it. With the stolen election of 2020, I ended up going to J6 instead of J20 in 2021, and – well – that was interesting, too.
When Trump managed to beat the cheat on 5 November 2024, I reconfirmed my commitment to attend the T47 inauguration. However, as the time approached, a combination of finicky health and iffy finances had me on the edge of saying “no mas!” Then, when I looked at hotel prices – roughly three times what I had paid in 2017 – I simply couldn’t afford it. I decided not to bother. I would watch the inauguration on TV with all of you, online at The Q Tree.
And it would have been great fun, too. But sitting it out was not to be.
As I began preparing future posts, in my usual “modified placeholder” manner, I wrote a very special and heartfelt post for the January 20th Inauguration Day open thread, as the 2025 Inauguration happens to fall on my usual Monday daily thread. You will see that special post on Monday.
The thing is, some friends of ours apparently saw that post, too. They let me know they were watching, much like they let Wheatie know, back in 2019. If you recall that incident…..
So yeah – that got my attention. All very deniable – but all very convincing.
A lot has changed since 2021, including the passing of Wheatie, whose final battle began late in 2021 and ended in spring of 2022. I think Wheatie was very disappointed to know that she would never see Trump’s second term. Realizing this, and knowing that our old friends from T45 were still keeping an eye on us, I began to change my mind about going to the Inauguration. Others were keeping the faith – why not me? Yes, I’m growing old and tired, but I’ve still got some sense of duty in me.
And then an invitation came. Not only was I invited – my wife was, too. Yeah, it wasn’t one of the gold-encrusted invitations to sit up on the balcony with all the important stiffs like Al Gore and Tim Walz, but it was still an official invitation, and it was made in the name of our once-again Commander In Chief.
That was it. I told my wife we were going. And when I looked at hotel prices again, some of them actually looked reasonable. With a little bit of shopping, it was going to happen.
So, as you read this, during the next few days, I may be preparing to depart for Washington, DC, am already on my way there, or am there as you read this. I will put this up as a sticky thread, so it’s easy for me to find, as well as others who may stumble upon the site. I am hoping to post journalistic updates from the inauguration. Yes, I’m putting my journalist cap on, which may or may not come in Dark MAGA!!!
This thread will be a place to post about all events connected to the T47 Inauguration – including the MAGA Rally on January 19, the Inauguration Festivities and Swearing-In on January 20, and the Inaugural Parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, shortly after the Swearing-In.
There is a great website connected to the Inauguration.
I will go over some of the important information on the site, below. In the meanwhile, I simply want to give my best wishes to all you QTreepers, and to all our friends and allies out there.
Are you ready to Make America Great Again? I AM!

T47 Topic – Weather
Scratch all of the following section – the inauguration has WISELY been moved indoors.
I will keep the old text for historic interest, but you can skip ahead to the comments now.
W
Right now, things are looking VERY cold in DC for the inauguration. Part of me wonders whether this is an anti-Trump psy-op by Club Climate Change, but I have seen nothing to convince me that such a thing is happening.
I’m not sure if this incredibly cold inaugural weather should be classified as something like JUSTICE BEING A DISH BEST SERVED COLD, but in any case, I am expecting things to be frigid. EvenTeam Trump is advising weather sense.
Guest Attire
Please dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes. Washington D.C is expecting cold temperatures. Attendees will have limited access to heated tents on a first-come, first-served basis.
I have been to an inauguration before, when the weather was much better (40s and 50s, IIRC) than is currently expected this year (teens and 20s for Inauguration Day). Dressing appropriately makes the whole thing more enjoyable, I can assure you. Last time, as I layered down from a quality trench coat, I was dressed well enough to look good on TV, if I was interviewed by anybody (I think I did talk to a print journalist or political blogger of some kind, IIRC).
This time, for me, “stylish” will be SKIWEAR and basically outdoor winter fashion. In fact, I am advising all others who are going, to DRESS FOR THE SKI LIFTS.
North Face and Columbia – not Dior and Prada.
Why do I say that? Because people who have seats will be sitting for THREE TO SIX HOURS OR LONGER in temperatures in the upper teens to low 20s.
Cross-reference weather with logistics, and it’s time to get VERY REAL.
People need to dress to be sitting comfortably in what are normally wind chill conditions on a ski lifts, where one cannot “walk around to warm up” or otherwise fight hypothermia.
Teens and twenties are January skiing conditions. Get real, people!
Last time, I was running, walking, and standing near the Washington Memorial, thanks to sabotage by the Obama administration, which forced as many people as they could off the main mall, back to the far side of the Washington Memorial, where they would not appear in aerial photos which begin at the Capitol Building.
It was a sneaky move, slow-walking admissions to the mall, while letting people in where they could not be seen. I would not put this past the Biden administration. Note what is being said about arrival times.
Guest Arrival Information
The security line to enter the National Mall will begin to form early. Driving/parking is stronglydiscouraged, please utilize the Washington Metro System (WMATA) to arrive/depart the mall.
U.S.S.S. guest screening will open at 6:00 AM. The inaugural program will start at 9:30 AM; the Swearing-In Ceremony will start at 11:00 AM. To guarantee a spot, please arrive no later than 9:00 AM.
There WILL be food and drink concessions (see below), but the bottom line is that some people will be on the site from 6 AM until 12:30 AM, after the swearing-in.
If the temperatures are actually that cold, it will be like being STUCK ON A SKI LIFT.
Dress warmly. Your goal is to be TOASTY WARM WHILE SITTING STILL.
Now – here is what the situation will actually look like, logistically.
There is seating in the first FIVE of the EIGHT mall blocks. There are also plenty of rest rooms, warming tents, food tents, and medical stations.
Once you’re in the mall, it’s basically like a Trump rally. But if you want to get a seat, you’ve got to get there early. And it will be EVEN COLDER at 6:00 AM on Monday, if the weather predictions are correct.
Thankfully, the MAGA RALLY on January 19 will have better weather, and will be indoors to boot. I view it as good preparation for Inauguration Day. Temperatures are predicted to drop all day, and are looking to be thirtyish by the rally time. There is also a high chance of precipitation, which is probably snow, but could be rain. I will be prepared for either one.
BOY SCOUT MOTTO – BE PREPARED
So – it’s time to get this thing scheduled. Talk to you later!!!
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).
Thanks to TradeBait’s recent story centered on Elvis Presley, I was actually in an Elvis mood when my wife – an Elvis fan long before we met – decided that “we” were going to see the new Elvis movie at the earliest opportunity.
Not having been to very many movies recently, I’m pretty much immune to most of the propaganda, in part because it jumps out at me AS propaganda. During “trailer time” they were laying it on THICK. I think that EVERY single message had AT LEAST some propagandistic edge – and MOST were straight-up PC messaging.
The political correctness effects of BlackRock, DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity), ESG (environment, social, governance), and “The Black List” (Marxist filter on financial backing through POC puppets) are all extremely visible in everything – product ads – trailers – public service messages.
It’s not like I’m “opposed” to some of these ideas, but the heavy-handed, communistic, “struggle session” nature of the messaging is just CRINGE CITY.
I mean, good grief. I thought that Dove Soap was going to commit hara-kiri for having utterly failed black America in some way that I still don’t grasp. PUHLEASE. You sold soap, for crying out loud. And you sold it to everybody! Black people too! Give yourselves a pat on the back and GO HOME. You’re ridiculous!
(I can’t find a video of what I saw, but this is just a hint of it.)
So anyway, I was primed for all kinds of cultural Marxism when the Elvis show began.
The opening sequence did NOT disappoint in that respect. A Tom Hanks dream sequence, filled with occult and pedophile symbolism, just had me shaking my head.
Flying spaghetti monster squids with the boy love symbol?
Snow globes heavily veering into crystal ball territory?
The movie had no place to go but up.
AND IT DID.
It’s hard for me to describe what this movie is, but I can say that it grew on me, until I felt very satisfied at the end.
It’s more like a work of ART trying to explain the SOUL of Elvis Presley, than anything else. And oddly – uniquely – this movie does so through the eyes of a rather brilliant CON-MAN manager, who used that same deep understanding of Elvis to first “own” and then manipulate him.
Elvis loved what he did. He loved music. He loved the crowd. He loved performing. He loved his parents – forcing himself into an unending vow to “take care of them”, no matter the costs.
Elvis Presley was one of those brilliantly over-performing co-dependents – no bones about it – and the movie shows it.
Judging from my own memories of history, the movie “got it right”, too, although I think the movie played some things (like infidelity, overweight, and drug use) more metaphorically than factually, while still admitting them unflinchingly. There was a lot of “compression”
The movie did NOT show the “Rat Ranch” – but it showed the same thing differently and in several ways. Names and locations were chosen to fluff and protect the legend just a bit.
Things WERE highlighted or magnified in focus to show why Elvis always crossed racial barriers in his appeal.
Like I said – it’s ART – not a documentary.
One thing which is actually cool is Tom Hanks’ disturbing accent, which was intentionally over-done in order to make viewers realize that “something was amiss” with Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker. In reality, people sometimes took a while to pick up on Parker’s accent, which sounded “regional Southern” yet somehow “off”. The accent betrays a secret which was in some ways part of the downfall of both Elvis and Parker, but I won’t spoil the movie by going into the specifics. Just know that Hanks was asked not to do his subject’s actual subtle accent, but rather to “push it” so that listeners would pick up the clue. See THIS LINK.
There are other breaks with reality which – well – I’m less willing to defend, except to call them artistic license.
Just watch this trailer. You only need to see about a minute of it. Look for what is best described as the “pink scene” around 50 seconds in.
If the “pink Elvis” bothers you, trust me – the movie is far more blatant, and even pushes the “trans” stuff into the narration. You could say that there is an “appeal to gay revisionism”.
I may be mistaken about this point, but I’m pretty sure I’m not. It is my distinct impression that “Elvis the Pelvis” was a lot more about “manly macho” than about “tranny pink” and “girly make-up”. There is a distinct “LGBTQCIA” nature to the retelling that just does not comport with the reality of Elvis Presley.
Likewise, there seems to be much more “ESG” in this Elvis, than in the one I remember. Yeah, Elvis was no bigot, and he had a very subtle way of not dignifying the bigots who hated him, but there seems to be an effort here to turn Elvis into a fist-raised civil rights icon, which I somehow missed. The Elvis I remember was perhaps the most successful “can’t we all just get along” type who never even had to say it. I say we should give him credit for being the KING of that approach, because I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be fashionable again, and in a big way.
And there’s more, in the way of classic cultural Marxism. There is an extended sequence which pivots on “out-of-style traditional Christmas entertainment” as the boring cultural bad guy of the plot, threatening to undo poor Elvis, and that negativity is just SO typical of H-wood’s subtle communist psychological programming.
On the other hand, some of this stuff is actually a reasonable part of the artistic compression – such as highlighting that MLKJ was already speaking on the negative side of rock and roll culture for kids.
Complicated business.
So YEAH – there’s a good bit of lefty psy-op under the hood. Be AWARE of that to defuse it, or just don’t even bother seeing the movie, if Hollywood politicking crosses your red lines.
BUT – like I said – it’s art. It tells us as much about THIS time, as it does about THAT time.
Technically, the movie does a lot of things right. The women’s costuming and hairstyling is fantastic – watch for a few Oscar nominations. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many women in a film showing the actual beauty of women in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Austin Butler as Elvis Presley is VERY GOOD. He won me over to the point where the real Elvis footage at the end served as a “high five” for a job well done.
The Presley family felt the same way – they got “carried away” by the performance, just like I did. Same with my wife – the “real” Elvis fan. She loved it.
I had some fun watching this next video after the movie, because all the actors are so much more “2022” in reality, than they were in the flick. The differences are striking. They’re all modern Hollywood dweebs in “reality”, but in the movie, they do seem far more “real”, as part of the past. Or is that just me? (*sigh*)
Compare the lady playing young Priscilla, above, to her transformation in the film, shown below.
I know that picture on the right probably makes the movie look like it’s all a bunch of grins and giggles – well, just think of that same gal throwing a mean fist of pill bottles across a Vegas penthouse, after Elvis shoots up the place, before she walks out.
There’s no whitewash – BUT there was also some extremely convincing romance and love shown – even when it all falls apart. I feel like I really gained some needed insight into the relationship of Elvis and Priscilla. I feel like something healed.
So there you have it. An interesting movie. Glad I saw it. Consider a viewing yourself – especially of you love his music. There’s a LOT of good music in this movie.

Otherwise Best Described as a Somewhat Strange but Beautiful and Heartfelt Message to the Staff of this Esteemed Company from the People in Logistics on Christmas Eve ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET – THE TRUMP WAY First of all, Merry Christmas! (And belated Happy Hanukkah if I missed you back then!) Which is actually what …
…..which is a bit of a Ghost of Christmas Past…..
…..kinda like some other treasured site images…..
…..it brought back a lot of fond memories of the early site – a little over 3 years ago…..
…..and so I just wanted to say…..
(1) Merry Christmas, everybody,
(2) Happy Logistics, all you Truckers, Supply Chain Folks, and fellow working humans,
(3) And maybe Happy Logistics to you other working creatures, too. Winged or otherwise!
…..wherever you may be now!
And now, the rules of THIS PARTICULAR pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
Now, back to business.
AMEN!

Current Art On The Wall
This week’s shipment is allegedly CUBISM – to prove that we will put ANYTHING on the wall – even genres we generally don’t like much.
Cubism and Christmas. A good idea? Or NOT A GOOD IDEA? You decide!
OK – let’s get more traditional!
And maybe even VERY traditional!
And speaking of music…..
What’s Playing on the Jukebox
Why, the soundtracks of the trailers in the next section! That’s what!
Here is the trailer song separated from the cinema. I actually find it a bit more enjoyable this way.
Movie Review: Death on the Nile (2022)
NOTE: This review may contain very mild “spoilers”. Stop reading if you run into something that seems spoilerish, if you don’t want any. I have tried to not give away anything significant in the story, beyond the trailers, but there may be a couple of close calls.
This is the movie that I’ll be talking about. This is the trailer you most likely saw.
However, if you got an early preview of it, you may have seen THIS early preview trailer, which has almost no dialog, but is really intriguing by relying only on visuals and music.
Here is yet another version with rearranged visuals – shorter and snappier. I like this one!
There is an IMDB trailer that’s very nice, too, but you have to go there to see it.
Lastly, let me show you a “reaction mashup” – basically looks like a Zoom room – of a bunch of people commenting on the trailer as it plays.
OK – that’s enough. Now down to business.
I have not been to a movie in a while. I really avoid them if I can. I can spot the dirty hands of cultural Marxism in almost every movie Hollywood makes now. It’s tedious to watch their propaganda.
However, my wife likes these damned murder mysteries. Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie – you know the type.
The last one we saw was the horrifying “Knives Out” – enjoyable as a work of the genre, but excruciating in its political correctness. The vengeful, angry, projecting, communist psychology was all over it, ramping up to laughable levels at the end. Overtly racist, sexist, classist, and every other leftist prejudice-in-the-name-of-stomping-out-prejudice, all of the hard left’s biases were gleefully woven into both plot and acting. I was rolling my eyes, chuckling, and smirking at the “dramatic” parts at the end. I honestly felt sorry for the “woman of color heroine” at the ideologically “uplifting” end.
Why must the solution to all human idiocy be “deuce axe machinist” by liberals? So they get to be GODS? Using a hammer and sickle on every microscopic problem?
Ugh.
I thought I was done with Hollywood’s corrupting of the “murder mystery” genre, but no – my DW had different ideas.
This one – Death on the Nile (2022) – succeeds mostly by DISTRACTING from the political correctness. It does so with a combination of compelling plotting, amazing scenery, skillful acting, and strong attempts to “go beyond” blatant leftist narratives by underplaying them competently yet powerfully into the story itself. This approach allows the leftist audience to see what THEY want to see, while trading “in-your-face” PC for a kind of non-gratuitous, historically correct PC that makes sense as part of the story.
Still, the PC is not removed completely, and on long reflection, one feels abused by the requisite embedding of political correctness.
For example, while every one of these “usual suspects” is woven skillfully into the plot, they’re still all there:
interracial romance in the face of 1930’s history
“probably racist” white parent forbidding true love
old black woman sage
young black woman muse
bad male gun, bad white gun, good black female gun
wicked white waspy couple (and they’re cultural appropriators, too!)
lesbians forced into the closet by paternalistic society
aspirational capitalist bourgeoisie without morality, tsk, tsk
limousine communist donor class heroine
classic white male hero submits to struggle session and self-criticism
imperialist “woman of color” in denial of roots pays for her transgression
Christian symbols hypocritical, non-Christian symbols meritorious
decadent cabaret culture showcased yet subjected to moral apology RE appropriation
many smaller bits of reflex Hollywood-think
Now – with all that said – these things were made almost completely non-gratuitous by a kind of honest incorporation into the plot, albeit without historically accurate dialog, and RARELY addressing them directly. This leaves an intriguing blend of truth – historical and emotional – in the wrong language, suitable for the modern ear. Actually, Hollywood does this almost ALWAYS, but because I now avoid their work product for months to years at a time, it’s painfully apparent to me.
Thus, the movie creates a skillful blend of political tensions with the NORMAL tensions of a murder mystery. This is a great trick – a kind of cross-talk to influence audiences EMOTIONALLY but not overtly.
The didn’t forget the SEX, either. Lots of STEAMY sexually charged scenes, too, but not much skin. As the Daily Mail put it (and this is one of their longer titles):
Full steam ahead for sex, greed and murder: To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s first book (and our first glimpse of Poirot), Nicole Lampert goes behind the scenes on Kenneth Branagh’s VERY racy new film version of Death On The Nile
This is skilled propaganda – and in my opinion it is forced on the story by the requirement that the writing get past “The Black List”. This thing ticks off all the requisite boxes on racial and end-wave feminist cultural Marxism. It also passes muster with the Satanist crowd, IMO, by virtue of the Egyptian setting and their “death cult” stuff.
NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID – and by that, I mean what they DID TO US.
SPOILER – graphic photo of Las Vegas carnage below the Luxor obelisk, pyramid, and sphinx.
Yup. This production clearly “green-lighted” by the Luciferians in charge.
Now that I’ve gotten the POLITICAL and the CULTURAL and the RELIGIOUS payload stuff out of the way, what about this movie in normal ways? Is it any good?
I think it was really well-done, and that is what elevates the vehicle above the payload.
Let’s start with one of the reasons I was happy to go see the movie.
Russell Brand is not prominent – not as much as I would have liked – but he’s really, really good. He uses his LACK OF LINES to forcefully project a kind of disturbing, anxious, quiet tension and hidden emotion that brings all sorts of suspicion to his character. I won’t tell you where that goes, but it’s good. When he does speak, he does it quite well, and it contributes to the intensely emotional nature of the film. I have much respect for him as an actor now, even though he was clearly playing one of the “butler-level” parts.
This also speaks to extremely competent direction, of course.
Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer are both excellent, carrying that essential combination of “suspicious as hell” and “wouldn’t hurt a fly” which makes for a good whodunit. Hammer is particularly good at the latter. Gadot manages to pull off dozens of wildly different looks throughout the film, which is damn near a fashion piece. Hammer is just stylish. But is he bad? Not gonna spill the beans here!
You might think Gadot would be the hottie of the movie, but if you go by what is gonna make men hot under the collar, that would be the performance by this gal, Emma Mackey.
Both ladies do some scorching dance moves with Armie Hammer, but Mackey’s were enough to raise my blood pressure into the red zone. She’s also quite excellent in her part – the definitely neurotic, probably psychotic, and quite possibly crazy as a bedbug, jilted ex of the guy, and “former” BFF of the girl.
Complicated business.
This gal has “she did it” painted all over her. But did she? No way. Can’t be. But yet…..
Good acting. Dancing. Whatever!
The movie is banned in Kuwait over Gal Gadot’s Israeli military background, but I have to say – if they were looking for other reasons, this movie has plenty.
Speaking of which…..
These ladies provide some mild comic relief – I was unaware that they’re actually a comedy duo – Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French. What’s interesting here is that they mix in some straight-up politics, and actually poke fun at some of the leftist kind. I’m not going to go into much more detail than that.
OK – I will say one thing. The film actually borrows one of Donald Trump’s best one-liners, and re-uses it in a new context. I kid you not. Most people won’t catch it, but those who are deeply familiar with Trump’s 2016 campaign trail will get a nice laugh. It’s good fun.
Annette Bening and Tom Bateman turn in solid performances as the rich old lady and her goofy mama’s-boy son, the latter who seems far too light in the loafers to be falling for……
Sorry. That might be TMI.
Many of the twists of the movie revolve around the above pair. If you do see this movie…..
EYES ON.
NEXT – the accountant.
The Gadot character’s accountant cousin, played by Ali Fazal, is definitely suspicious as hell. Like all accountants, it would seem, he has a “security plan”, and I have to say, I prefer Suspicious Cousin’s over Emma Mackey’s.
Speaking of security, check out that Tiffany necklace on Gal Gadot. It’s part of the plot.
OK – now who are we missing?
Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot
Tom Bateman as Bouc
Annette Bening as Euphemia Bouc
Russell Brand as Dr. Windlesham
Ali Fazal as Andrew Katchadourian
Dawn French as Mrs. Bowers
Gal Gadot as Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle
Armie Hammer as Simon Doyle
Rose Leslie as Louise Bourget
Emma Mackey as Jacqueline de Bellefort
Sophie Okonedo as Salome Otterbourne
Jennifer Saunders as Marie Van Schuyler
Letitia Wright as Rosalie Otterbourne
Ann Turkel as Meredith Wilson
OK – let’s start with the Otterbournes. They’re actually key characters, around which much of the story takes place. There’s the old lady singer / performer, played by Sophie Okonedo…..
…..and then there is her “young kin manager”, played by Letitia Wright.
These two are in the thick of things, and there are many surprises based on their presence. Obviously these two gals are leaned on heavily for the PC messaging, but in spite of it all, they manage to come off as credible, non-cardboard, and interesting characters. In my opinion, if the screenplay would have pulled some of the “crypto-political” dialogue, and replaced it with solid character development, such as making Wright’s character more of a fully developed romantic counterpart to Mackey’s, the whole movie would have benefited.
Fans of “security devices”, shall we say, are gonna love several scenes with these gals, but I won’t spoil the fun.
Speaking of security, always keep your eye on the butler – especially if she has a hankering for BFD (Big Effin’ Diamonds). This is Rose Leslie, who really pulls off the look of a domestic.
Suspicious Cat really thought this broad was GUILTY. Was he right? NOT SAYIN’.
So who’s left on our list? Two names – one of which appears to have been edited out, or is there by mistake. And that leaves ONLY ONE.
Kenneth Branagh. This guy simply can’t be bad. As ALWAYS, he does a great job here, both as an actor and a director, giving some real depth to the character of Hercule Poirot. That’s some of the most redeeming stuff in the movie, so it’s all you’re getting.
OH! And one last, cute point.
Apparently Hollywood had “issues” releasing the movie because of “scandals” that are guaranteed to make your eyes roll.
How ‘Death on the Nile’ became ‘every publicist’s worst nightmare’
Yes. Hollywood was SKEERED because four of the “talent” got into social media trouble.
From the top…..
First. In Hollyweird, it’s OK to *BE* a cannibal, but don’t get caught loudly pretending you’re one – especially after pissing off a string of important women. Armie Hammer (yes, he’s related to the original commie) apparently likes some pretty kinky play sex, and his exes have loose lips. But is he a real cannibal, or just a loud-mouthed drunk and a loser? Your call…..
But WAIT – there ARE things worse than that. Like making a “tone-deaf” and “cringeworthy” “COVID survivor” video based on the John Lennon “Imagine” lyrics, that got tomatoes from hipsters and Branch Covidians.
WARNING!!! MAXIMUM CRINGE!!!
Please, Gal! Always check with your local communist cadres to make sure that speech is appropriate BEFORE you speak!
But there are things that are even worse than poor correct-think…..
Like WRONG-THINK!
Like retweeting anything mildly skeptical of the COVID vaccine narrative. Or worse still, actually TALKING to vaccine skeptics. OH, NOES!
So yeah. They had to wait until NOW, when apparently the SMOKE CLEARED.
SO – should you go see this movie?
Not my call. Hopefully I’ve told you what you need to know.
Movies are not reality. They’re stories. They’re emotional manipulation. Sometimes they’re political manipulation, too. I’m not actually sure if I’m a better or worse person for having watched this movie. But I felt like I needed to make a RECORD of the experience. Hopefully that record can be put to good use by others.
If you do go, ENJOY THE SHOW. I think you might.
The Andromeda Shot
Thanks to barkerjim, Gail Combs, and Chris, who all got me onto the scent with this one.
Let’s start with “The Andromeda Clot”. This story began when a professional embalmer spoke out on behalf of his profession, stating that once the jabs started, he and other embalmers started seeing long, white, fibrous clots – stringy like plastic – in the veins of deceased victims of heart attacks and strokes.
The story just gets bigger and more shocking from there, as Steve dug in.
Steve interviews a very talkative and inquisitive lady embalmer, speaking on behalf of herself and two embalmer friends. These three embalmers have all seen the clots, and ALL of them independently came to hypothesize that these clots are caused by the COVID vaccines.
If you don’t have time for the video (it’s over an hour), you can read this post by Steve for the highlights.
This interview is FILLED with excellent information about the clots, including this lady’s opinion that (1) there is no way these clots are from post-mortem coagulation, and (2) that the clots seem more prominent in the elderly, and may be exacerbated by immobility and stasis.
Some of the blockbuster “hidden gems” in this interview are “scoops” about what doctors are doing behind the scenes. One is use of ivermectin “on the down low” at the local hospital, which is in a very conservative area. Another is that doctors who are encountering clots in clinical practice, are asking about vaccination status as a possible cause of the clots.
You can’t stop the signal, because the signal is TRUTH.
In my opinion, these clots are so damning, it is MONSTROUS that science is not talking about this phenomenon yet.
Is medicine really that derelict in its duty, that UNDERTAKERS are now the source of SCIENCE?
In my opinion, the media in support of WEF leaders and WEF narratives is how we got here.
Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and their ILK are why America is looking a lot like the Soviet Union lately, following close behind Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Psaki says the White House has been flagging "problematic posts" on Facebook they believe are misinformation about Wuhan coronavirus. Reminder: Fauci worked with Facebook to ban the lab leak theory, which is factual, for more than a year.
Cuppa Covfefe had the same reaction as I did – that this sounds like the disease in Michael Crichton’s fictional book “Andromeda Strain“, the virus of which turned people’s blood into a rubbery powder.
Gail was thinking that this white fibrous stuff sounds like fibrin, and indeed, there is evidence that spike protein binds to fibrinogen, leading to the inappropriate formation of fibrin.
Here are some references about dysfunctional coagulation from both COVID-19 and spike protein, including vaccines.
I can go on and on, finding papers which demonstrate coagulopathy due to either COVID-19 or the spike protein, but almost nobody in the science world DARES to link any of it to the spike protein vaccines, despite the obvious morbidity, mortality, and pathology of vaccinees – something which is apparent to all intellectually honest people.
For example, the first study cited above is featured in this explanatory blog post:
A vicious circle. Coagulation is not merely a result of inflammation, it causes inflammation also, a process driven by the presence of the spike protein alone and its peculiar interaction with fibrinogen and fibrin.
Now here’s the kicker. If the SARS-CoV-2 virus with its uniquely pathogenic spike protein is a bioweapon, then so also must be the ‘vaccines’, which cause the cells in our bodies to manufacture SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in their trillions, and it has been demonstrated conclusively that these spikes find their way into the vascular system and circulate to every organ in the body, even the brain. Go figure, as they say.
That last paragraph is not hyperbole. In contradiction to all the toadie journalist “fact-checkers”, REAL SCIENTISTS who have dared to point toward the obvious spike protein culprit have now had their suspicions confirmed.
“Read that again: Protein production of spike is higher than those of severely ill COVID-19 patients!“
And to quote the paper he’s talking about:
We find that BNT162b2 vaccination produces IgG responses to spike and RBD at concentrations as high as those of severely ill COVID-19 patients and follows a similar time course.
This is not hard. Think about it.
disease produces spike protein mostly in respiratory tract and lungs
severely ill COVID-19 cases produce more spike, more disseminated
Pfizer vaccine produces same amount of spike as severe disease
but vaccine produces spike in highly vascularized muscle tissue
patients are encouraged to move deltoid muscle to increase perfusion
Pfizer data (Japan) proves vaccine disseminates throughout body
data proves long half-life of vaccine before release of pseudo-mRNA
other studies show vaccine migrates to lymph nodes
spike-producing pseudo-mRNA likely has unnaturally long lifetime
spike is produced for 60+ days in lymph nodes
vaccine moves through circulatory system via lipid nanoparticles
spike moves from lymph nodes through circulatory system via exosomes
exosomes both contain spike and express it on surface
exposed spike binds to fibrinogen and initiates fibrin formation and clotting
circulatory vaccine spike should cause MORE clotting than does disease
It is NO WONDER that the vaccine earned the nickname “clot shot”.
My bottom line is this:
We cannot stand by while these MONSTERS abort living children slowly with these vaccines.
Remember the wife of familial eugenicist Bill Gates JUNIOR?
It’s very useful to understand BILL GATES SENIOR to get a better feel for the whole clan. The man was not just a eugenicist, but a FABIAN as well.
The other side is getting very desperate to “commit population reduction”, and to do it “by any means necessary”. And to do it – as we have seen – the SNEAKIER, the better.
In my opinion, we have to get LOUD in voice and EFFECTIVE in practice, in spreading the word about the HORROR of the Andromeda shot.
Forcing kids to take these injections is horrifying.
ACT ACCORDINGLY.
We have to support the truckers. We have to end the mandates. We have to end this insane regime.
I believe that making the Bidenistas and Bidenazis EAT THE CLOT SHOT is an important part of how to do that.
Prepare to be outraged, even though this story is from over 5 years ago.
A guy who found $2 in credit left on a slot machine, played it before he put his own money into “his” machine, and was PROSECUTED for “fraud” with a big fine. Yup. Any credits left on a machine belong to the house, if a person leaves them. The house then MONITORS this crap on security camera.
So they don’t let the guy pay the $2, but shake him down with arrest, booking, charges, and ultimately a PLEA BARGAIN and a CRIMINAL RECORD. Everybody in the FAKE LEGAL SYSTEM gets rich except the CHUMP, who should have taken it to court, even though there was probably a dirty judge on it, too.
Clearly the whole thing is a SCAM set up with dirty law enforcement. In fact, it would not surprise me if CHUMPS were being set up by the casino (intentionally left machine credits) to take these falls.
Meanwhile, FBI goes after patriotic Americans.
Gambling. It’s just DIRTY. That’s why you won’t find CLOTTERY TICKETS here in WOLF’S PUB.
Meanwhile in Amateur Bartender Land…..
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we will ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Because we did alcohols last week, including menthol, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine, we’ll try some amines this week.
Alcohols begin with the structural moiety -OH whereas amines begin with -NH2. The familiar ethanol is CH3-CH2-OH. Replacing the H on the oxygen of alcohols turns them into things which act completely differently (ethers, esters, etc.), and are no longer called alcohols. In contrast, the H atoms of “primary amines” (-NH2) can be replaced (-NH-, -N(-)-, -N=, etc.), and much of the chemical behavior frequently remains, in which case the substances may still be called amines.
This classification scheme for organic substances is complicated, historical, and sensible, but it is also admittedly very obscure.
Think of amines as nitrogen horning on on oxygen‘s act in the alcohol world. Compared to the very familiar ethanol, other alcohols are different enough, but amines create a whole new ball game. For over a century, amines were possibly the biggest act in the world of pharmaceuticals.
The following three amines are second generation antihistamines.
More on these substances later!
Christmas Spirit
As we are going to keep the Christmas spirit going into 2022, you will note that ornaments are still up – including various old favorites from Christmas Past.
First lady Melania Trump tosses an ornament to a child across the table after he tossed one to her as she visits with children in the East Room among the 2017 holiday decorations with the theme “Time-Honored Traditions” at the White House in Washington, Monday, Nov. 27, 2017. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
We will get that tree up, no matter how much flak from the cultural Marxists!
And there will be GIFTS for all, both NAUGHTY and NICE!!!
How did you like those pictures of Trump and MELANIA???
PSSST! Hey, kid! I’ve got some pictures…….
Trump Calendars
People – it’s getting close to the time to make a decision. Do you want a TRUMP CALENDAR for 2022?
I’m going to let you know about TWO of them that you can get. They ship VERY QUICKLY, too!
Official Trump Calendar
This is a GREAT calendar – heavy on military photos – plenty of Melania.
I can vouch for this one – easily worth the $45 minimum donation to SAVE AMERICA – meaning 90% goes to TRUMP’S CONTROL.
Please let us all know in comments if you order either of these and encounter either success or failure.
And now, the rules of the pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
Now, back to business.
AMEN!
Current Art On The Wall
First a bit of pub introspection…..
…..and then some comic relief on the wall in the john!
The Clot Shot Casino is CLOSED
The “ever-mouthy” Karl Denninger has just pointed out some numbers in the Danish Omicron data that really change my perception of relative risks and benefits of vaccination – particularly in light of what we now know about common H1 antihistamines as a class essentially preventing death from COVID.
This is less about SIDE EFFECTS (adverse events – whatever) and more about IMMUNITY STRATEGY.
Multiple questions are now answered by this fresh data for a new variant.
First, it’s very clear that the “Wuhan vaccines” are rather BADLY protective against Omicron. While I would not call it a “pandemic of the vaccinated”, the vaccinated ARE over-represented in Omicron cases, and the unvaccinated are under-represented. At least one analyst has speculated that Omicron might have escaped from a laboratory, where it “gained function” in the serum of vaccinees.
The recently boosted have a risk comparable to the unvaccinated, but the vaccinated as a whole are actually MORE LIKELY to get Omicron, which is weird. Combined with the fact found elsewhere, that almost 5% of Danish Omicron patients already had COVID-19, then “Wuhan natural immunity” is suffering its own form of breakthrough as well.
Fine. So the vaccines need boosters, and risks accumulate. The disease is also risky, and not as protective as we had thought.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Let’s look at that fact – that the VACCINATED (overall) are being hammered harder than the unvaccinated, relative to their proportion in the population.
One explanation is that the “unvaccinated” include a bunch of people who were “vaccinated” by the disease, and have SUPERIOR natural immunity.
Another explanation is that the current Wuhan-variant vaccines are immunizing against the now-absent Wuhan variant, but are LOWERING immunity to new and changed variants- perhaps after some initial immunity, but then waning. And THAT is not an unknown phenomenon.
And, of course, there is the third option, that it is BOTH of those two things.
No matter which way it is, this is not good news for the vaccines. This DATA says that – in real life – “natural immunity” / “no vaccine” is a solid form of protection, and is about as good as “boosterism”. Worse than that, for the vaccines, it appears that “missing the booster” (“2 shots” in the table) leaves one EXTREMELY VULNERABLE to the disease – much more so than being totally unvaccinated.
THIS is starting to explain why the CDC is playing WORD GAMES with “unvaccinated”, where they call people who just got vaccinated “unvaccinated” to blame-cast adverse events as disease, tinkering with THOSE numbers, but they ALSO call people who got two shots “unvaccinated” after some time, when those people are actually “vaccinated but now in vaccine failure”.
Don’t play those word games with me, Dr. Fauci. Those “unvaccinated” people TOOK THE JAB. They’re “vaccinated”. And with TIME, vaccination looks to be a LOSER unless you get REVACCINATED.
How about we use the word “revaccinated”? It’s a bit more honest.
ANYWAY……
Thanks to this recent data, and some other earlier thoughts, two things have become CLARITIN CLEAR.
(1) – Nobody needs to die from COVID, because, if the murderous media would simply tell people, there ARE in fact some common, cheap, easy-to-get, over-the-counter drugs that essentially make it impossible to die from the disease, while in the process obtaining superior “natural” immunity.
(2) – Even if one wants to GAMBLE with the vaccines, which offer less “disease” but also less “immunity”, the vaccines seem to make people MORE susceptible to sufficiently mutated coronavirus variants. That is, unless one gets a booster. Thus, they’re ADDICTIVE, just like gambling and smoking, making one DEPENDENT on the vaccines.
Wherein we explain – at three different levels of scientific and political understanding – how ADE-mediated vaccine slavery works. This post is to PREPARE YOU to watch what the other side is doing RIGHT NOW, so you can spot the deceptions. Right now they are DESPERATELY trying to make a FAILING PLAN work. Their plan …
Is that GOOD? Seriously – is that good? Is it “good” to be dependent for your VERY LIFE on vaccines?
I, personally, don’t think so. It’s like making everybody an insulin-dependent diabetic. And look what Joe Biden (really that asshole Obola) just did to diabetics! A thousand dollars a month! Ridiculous. Recombinant insulin was supposed to FREE our diabetics – not make them slaves!
Because of this, it is not really possible for me to recommend the vaccines as anything more than a RISKY CONVENIENCE – a GAMBLE – by which one avoids a biannual, triennial, or maybe (if you’re lucky) decennial cold or flu, but one also becomes dangerously dependent on the vaccines.
THUS, the CLOT SHOT CASINO (and COVIDIUM DEN) is CLOSED.
You are welcome to gamble elsewhere, but we cannot support gambling in this pub.
So let me state this VERY clearly.
If you are aware of the simple CURE for hospitalization and death from COVID itself, then the addictive, immunity-decreasing vaccines make no sense. This is true EVEN neglecting side-effects, which are substantial AND cumulative.
Now – let me be very clear. But I may have to whisper. And you probably won’t believe me, even after I explain it.
How to Hide a Histaminimus
When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was How to Hide a Hippopotamus.
It was a great lesson in concealment. It was the beginning of understanding.
So what does that have to do with today?
Well, I have a theory. And if that theory is right……
The true “cure” for COVID was never hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
These were silver-plated shiny objects – “real” distractions – that allowed the con-job vaccines to move forward. This is why the con-job shiny objects were SEEDED to us in various ways by the other side, who are tricky as hell. They needed to make sure we reacted in a predictable way.
Remember this one?
Or how about THIS ONE?
See what I’m saying? That episode makes far more sense as a PLANNED DISTRACTION than a real “WOO WOO” tell of the drug they were afraid of.
Hollywood WANTED us pointed in a certain direction, by which our PRE-PLANNED OPPOSITION would proceed according to THEIR timetable.
They KNEW how we would react.
Hydroxy and ivermectin were “working shiny objects” that we would predictably glom onto, while missing the REAL fast and easy solution. Missing the real solution, and glomming onto THEIR crippled partial solutions, controlled and denigrated by the other side, would allow THEIR disingenuous solution – injected spike protein toxin – to move forward unopposed.
The real “cure” – the one that the Spanish doctors and the South African doctor found – was simply to take H1 antihistamines and STOP the second phase of the disease.
That’s all. That’s all that’s needed to make COVID-19 a COLD again. Treat it LIKE a cold used to be treated.
Both first and second generation over-the-counter antihistamines work for this. They attack the ROOT of the deaths from COVID, which is the spike protein hypersensitivity reaction that Dr. Chetty describes, and with which everybody is familiar, although perhaps under a variety of immunological descriptions like “cytokine storm”.
Now I’m not saying that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are not effective treatments. Indeed, they are. The other side HAD to oppose those, precisely because they work, and because they diminish hospitalization and death in a very significant way – especially if started EARLY.
BUT those solutions are controlled and media-deniable by the other side. They were never a threat. They are not something the other side had to HIDE. They are something they had to effectively OPPOSE.
That is why the other side used two different approaches. For hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, they used psychological seeding, media denunciation, and institutional opposition and control. For antihistamines, they used diversion to other drugs, media silence, and institutional delay.
The deeper truth is that, had we learned about over-the-counter antihistamines effectively ending death from COVID in early 2020, it would have cut off their vaccine plot AT THE KNEES.
Imagine, if you will, some intrepid journalists being alerted in early 2020 that the Spaniards or Dr. Chetty had something IN HAND that would prevent death by COVID, and it was something a lot of people were taking already for colds and flu. In fact, most families ALREADY had the cure in their houses, because ANY of the H1 antihistamines will do. Imagine what would have happened to vaccines if a “home cure” would have been a worldwide rumor – and then CONFIRMED by the people themselves – and then trumpeted by the frightened media, should they “defect” from the narrative.
THAT is the secret that could not get out.
But if everybody chased the RIGHT drugs – the ones that THEY could control…… – the ones that THEY could denigrate, and fund studies to “disprove”…….
No problem. For THEM.
Marxist Tedros with communist Agnes Buzyn, who stopped prescription of hydroxychloroquine in France.
Do you now see WHY – at a very deep level – Agnes Buzyn made a show of restricting hydroxychloroquine?
THE MEDIA was the real weapon. There was no “walking back” the cure that was already out there, everywhere. They had to make sure we followed the cure that they controlled.
I’m not saying that Agnes Buzyn KNEW this, any more than President Trump KNEW that hydroxychloroquine was a calculated proffering to conceal a more critical weakness. People are led, misled, ordered to do things, and ordered not to do things, knowing that they will respond in certain ways.
I do think the liar Fauci may have known about antihistamines.
In fact, I suspect that VERY FEW people knew the truth about antihistamines, before the COVID release. Maybe only the TOP cabal actors.
Sometimes we have biases on the treatment side. Some folks like hydroxychloroquine. Some folks like ivermectin. Some like fluvoxamine. The list goes on.
The other side did NOT have a BIAS in opposing, controlling, silencing, or otherwise negating the threat of ANY and ALL of the treatment options.
They had a STRATEGY.
Now, I have a similar approach. I like ALL the treatment options, because they all save lives.
Right now, though, I favor bringing attention to antihistamines for a STRATEGIC reason.
It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to kill us with COVID if we have FOUR THINGS.
A thermometer
An antigen test kit
Antihistamine
Azithromycin (doctors prescribe this easily)
It’s that simple. This is a simplification of the Spanish study into an “at home” cure.
People monitor their temperature
If a fever, then use an antigen test kit
If positive for COVID, take the antihistamine
If pulmonary complications, take the azithromycin
This is simply too easy, and everybody can do it.
Jo Nova has a great blog post on the Spanish study.
There would NEVER have been a push for the mRNA vaccines, or vaccine passports, if enough people – a critical number – had known about the Spanish results in – say – June of 2020.
Even when it was submitted as a paper in September of 2020, if it was big news, it would have complicated the vaccine roll-out. Vaccine passports would NOT have been realistic.
That is why the Spanish study didn’t really see the international light of day, until the vaccines were rolling out, in January 2021.
Received 16 September 2020, Revised 29 December 2020, Accepted 11 January 2021, Available online 16 January 2021.
You will recall that – because Obama and Obama’s people are essentially running the Biden administration – at least until Kamala and Hillary take over – I am blaming the insane and inhumane pricing of insulin squarely on the REAL acting President…..
OBOLA.
Now – I used to call Obola “Obola” all the time, back during his cavalier attitude toward Ebola, back in the day.
Little did I realize that the Ebola crisis was all a PSY-OP of the GRANDEST order.
We can now see that Obola was priming the right to run like a bull at the red cape of “airborne Ebola” which was used to deceive us about the lethality of COVID-19.
Obola’s cavalier attitude toward Ebola virus was 100% intentional. That’s easy to see, now.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR!
Thanks to Deplorable Patriot, J.P. Sears, and Holly, we now have additional proof that the Ebola psy-op was definitely part of the COVID plot.
Let’s start here.
For now, just understand that A.416 was a BILL that would have empowered “Cuomo in a skirt”, Kathy Hochul, to have almost limitless dictatorial powers.
Let’s just save that tweet image, since COMMIES love to hide evidence.
We know this guy Nick Perry is a commie, because Aubergine did research tying him to the reelection campaign of Percy Sutton, one of the BIGGEST communists of the MASSIVELY communist, red diaper, Sutton family, which – again – Aubergine has deeply researched.
A while ago, Wolfmoon mentioned the name Percy Sutton in a response to my inquiry about what type of material he wanted for the site while he was away. Wolfmoon stated: “I also have an interest in “red diaper theory”, so the genealogy of all “red diaper lineages” is of interest. I have some projects …
Oh, Percy Sutton was one of the KEY communists in New York City. If Nick Perry was close to this guy, you can COUNT on secret membership, and very likely a DIAPER, too.
For a humorous yet very serious take, I give you Mr. Magnesium himself!
Yeah. So a guy strongly connected to a notorious NYC communist proposes a BILL during the phony Ebola crisis, over 5 years ago, which languishes until it’s needed NOW, in the phony COVID crisis, for New York State to go FULL COMMIE.
You know what……..
And if you’re wondering where communism REALLY comes from…..
Minion Meets Master
I don’t get clear demonstrations like this very often, of something which is a strong signal of SATANIC ACTIVITY. Thus, it’s important that I share it with you.
I think it’s pretty clear at this point that the Kardashian world of “people who are famous for being famous” is more than a little connected to YOU KNOW WHO…..
In fact, let’s remind ourselves, who the latest “famiac” in the Kardashian-Jenner tribe happens to be.
I won’t spend time unraveling the twisted relationships in “Kardashian World”, but between the Jenner klan, Kanye West, and Travis Scott, it’s 200 proof Hollywood.
For those who want to dig into the relationships (not recommended), start HERE.
From what I read elsewhere, she was more of an “ex” business manager, but she was actively working that bunch and others.
I will spare you the gruesome details, but not my conclusion – that this was the evil one collecting his due.
Do NOT – I repeat – DO NOT get involved with this stuff. Keep it at bay. STAY AWAY.
A certain amount of AWARENESS is good. “Wise as serpents” is a survival skill in spiritual warfare. We need some folks who train to see the traps. But it helps not to get jaded, familiar, or worst of all comfortable with the dark side. Periodic REVULSION is necessary.
What you are seeing here is the CONSUMPTION of those who make deals with the devil. They are CONSUMED IN THE FLAMES of the EVIL ONE when their usefulness is over.
I am sure this talented lady was well-rewarded for promoting the people she promoted, but she was likewise promoting everything at the top of Satan’s wish list for humanity.
In the end she was consumed, Ninth Gate-style.
I will skip the image of Frank Langela consumed in flames – and stick with this one.
Don’t make deals with this stuff – even small ones.
Are y’all good? AMEN! So STAY THAT WAY.
General Flynn on Exposing TRUTH
After Gen. Flynn’s “misunderstanding” (at best) or misrepresentation (at worst) of that rather culty Christian prayer in the name of the angel Michael as being “Catholic”, when it was clearly at best “small c catholic” (meaning under the umbrella of all Christianity, multi-schismatic or not, and even including “weird AF New Age”), I honestly feel a bit of a chafe under my very loose collar to be quoting Flynn on ANYTHING related to the subject of “exposing truth”.
I mean, the guy is a spy. Disinformation has to be a huge part of the job.
However, none of that diminishes what he says here. So just take a listen.
The inspection [of dominion machines] had been scheduled for earlier this month but the [PA] state attorney general and secretary of state oddly sued to prevent any such move to affirm the accuracy of the 2020 election results.
[per the court] It’s now set for Jan. 10.”
While everyone is fighting back on the covid insanity, watching the results of the Maxwell trial outcome, still reeling from outrageous illegal and massive border crossings, the lies and deceit of the 1/6 insurrection crucifixion (read Revolver and follow Darren Beattie), etc, etc…
The truth will always rise to the top. Those that live in the darkness will be destroyed by the light of the truth.
Keep doing all you can to expose the truth…I know it is not easy and it takes time to discover, research and read or listen to the various interviews, but do it for the good of our country and our kids.
Elements (elected and unelected) within our USG are so corrupt, it is disgusting. However, with the right attitude, leadership, discipline, and focus, much of this corruption can be cleaned up.
Get involved! Make Local Action your thing and do more for your community and our country
Wolf again. I think he’s got that right.
The truth WILL rise to the top.
Sometimes, that truth may make US sweat a little bit – like when I have to admit that I was a cheerleader for the vaccines before they became the “clot shot”. But that’s OK. We can’t always be RIGHT. But we CAN always TRY to be right. Even after we fail. Maybe ESPECIALLY after we fail.
And – ironically – that is both SCIENCE and – for some of us – RELIGION.
Happy New Year, y’all. Please STAY SAFE. Don’t drink and drive, yada, yada, yada.
If you DO go out and party, and you’ve not had COVID recently (Delta or later), then spend the next FOUR DAYS (incubation period) collecting everything you need to get through a wonderful case of the traveling vaccine, OMICRON.
(Or OBOLA, as I am starting to call it.)
Assuming you don’t have ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, you need:
Wolf’s COVID Care Package
Thermometer (thermal digital is easiest)
Antigen test kit(s) (yeah, good luck finding one)
Antihistamine of your choice (Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra are the easiest – 1-2 a day)
Aspirin (regular, or low-dose if your stomach doesn’t like it – 1 a day)
Listerine or Betadine mouthwash/gargle for mouth and throat
Vitamin D, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Multivitamin including Selenium.
Quercetin (including natural sources) or Green Tea
Saline or other nasal spray, rinse, or wash of your choice
The thermometer tells you when to use your precious test kit – when you suddenly have a fever and a sore or tingly throat.
The test kit gets you a positive diagnosis that opens doors for things like antibodies, or an official test.
A positive test means you can BEGIN TREATMENT at THERAPEUTIC DOSES.
The antihistamine insures that YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT DIE, because it stops the second, allergic, inflammatory stage of COVID in its tracks.
The aspirin makes doubly sure you won’t get clots, but be careful – don’t take it if you’ve had trouble with aspirin. Talk to your doctor if unsure.
The gargles (Listerine or Betadine) massively reduce viral load and speed time to recovery.
The saline and nasal washes lower viral load, and maintain nasal breathing.
The quercetin and green tea help zinc’s antiviral action by increasing cellular zinc levels.
The vitamins and mineral supplements keep you at antiviral levels of these things. In particular, zinc and vitamin D3 need to be at non-deficient levels.
Please consult authoritative sources from TRUE medical doctors like the ones at https://flccc.net.
Now – THAT is your physical health.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR!
Your SPIRITUAL HEALTH is – in my opinion – what really matters. I strongly recommend DAILY readings from the Bible. Doesn’t have to be much. Whether it’s Duchess’s comments, or a daily reading from a pocket devotional, if you get in the habit of thinking about the Bible EVERY DAY, you will do GREAT.
Thank you all for being here. Have a wonderful 2022.
W
9 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes[a] (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian[b] kingdom— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
If you read all the way to the end, the last three paragraphs are gold.
And I quote:
Many members of the military are heroic individuals, worthy of admiration and emulation. But many other members are not, and increasingly the worship of the modern American armed forces serves to distract from how wastefully American troops are used abroad, and the sinister way the Pentagon is transforming America’s security into a social science experiment.
Kyle Rittenhouse is braver and more admirable than most of the soldiers conservatives are reflexively trained to worship. The average American soldier fights in conflicts that have either no bearing on Americans’ safety and well-being, or a negative bearing on both. Rittenhouse, on the other hand, selflessly put himself in peril to protect his own community from marauding psychopaths. American troops are rewarded with college tuition, pensions, and affirmative action for millions of federal jobs. Rittenhouse’s reward for defending his fellow Americans is personal ruin, a potential lifelong prison sentence, and denunciations from cowards. If Black Rifle had an outlet in Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse would have risked his life to defend it. But Black Rifle won’t even risk unpopularity to defend him.
So what should patriots do going forward? Well, if you like coffee, buy coffee. If you can give money to a company that shares your values, or avoid giving money to one that hates them, even better. But stop tethering your identity to specific corporations, and stop being an easy lay for slick marketers who try to impress you by putting a gun on a coffee mug. Fundamentally, it is liberals who derive meaning from brand allegiance and living life as contrived stereotypes (this is why they are so attached to identity politics). Americans of all political affiliations must adhere to something greater: Family, traditional values, and enduring, inherited institutions that don’t treat them as marks from which to grift another dollar.
BRAVO!!!
Or BRAVA – the author is not signed.
To me, THIS is a moment to truly “unite the right” in a way that the phony Occupy Wall Street veteran and likely FIB informant Fake Kessler neither could nor would, with his media TRAP for foolish, unwary conservatives at Charlottesville.
It is not in DEFENSE of one more phony, counterfeit, sabotaged symbol propped up by the left as a trap, but in standing over the CARCASS of another such fake symbol – Black Rifle Coffee – that the GRIZZLED VETERANS of information warfare will find supernatural replenishment in the PURE, FRESH, and STEAMING AROMA of RELENTLESS TRUTH.
BANANA REPUBLIC COFFEE CORPS
Let me ECHO more deeply and in great detail, where this deep destruction of the military started – not counting all the earlier subversion. In my opinion, the most damaging subversion of the United States military began with the creation of the “unassailable vet card”, which could protect both HEROES and TRAITORS.
Heroes and traitors were REDEFINED by a treasonous media.
A card DEFINED BY TREASONOUS Democrats, operating under the cover of their own defense-savvy blue dogs, who could not deny the CHARLATANS like Chuck Schumer and Bill Clinton in their own party.
Helped by treasonous Hollywood, as a “victor” of Vietnam, with its ensuing “reeducation” that WE PAID FOR.
This goes back to the great wars of Maoist and Soviet demoralization of America – Korea and Vietnam. These wars had a purpose – WIN IN AMERICA. Because of our TRAITORS here, these conflicts were a done deal. Retreat was inevitable. One hand was tied behind our backs. But it’s not like what happened overseas would have really mattered. What happened HERE was the whole point.
The media, of course, made our inability to see this trick stick like glue. They marginalized, ignored, and ridiculed the few voices that SAW the reality.
Worse yet, these same tactics worked for DECADES.
When communist thug Robert Creamer – “husband” of Bolshivette Jan Schakowsky – joined Soviet brainwash job John McCain in trying to get us to enter another idiot conflict in Syria, it was all made clear to me – the concept of BAIT WARS. Obama led us to the gate, but WE had to enter the entrapment voluntarily. THAT is how they operate. The left needs COVER for their traps.
TRAITORS – both the despicable kind like Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and the pathetic kind like Soviet psychological guinea pig John McCain – are the unbeatable ace that Bolsheviks use against us EVERY; SINGLE; TIME.
Remember how Hollywood helped Schumer and his ilk create the pooh-pooh, there-there of forgiveness for ALL veterans returning from Vietnam? This insanity, after the MEDIA had created the conditions in which it made sense, as the lesser of apparently available evils.
I find this particular image of Jeremiah Denton the most beautiful, because it demonstrates the utter disrespect that the left, including YouTube Menshevik diaperette Susan Wojcicki, holds for true heroes.
In contrast, let’s check John McCain around that time.
Do you see it now? Do you see how a treasonous media – operating at the edge of what they could get away with, made the evil of tolerating TRAITORS a condition of their own relenting on recognition of the betrayed HEROES of Vietnam?
Think long and hard, how the military was betrayed – not just by them – Democrats and “Mediatifa” – but by us. Yes, by us. WE THE PEOPLE.
Yes. There were a FEW civilians who resisted the psychological campaign by the media, but not many. I knew a very few conservative hardcores who never relented. I admit that I was not one of them. I sucked up all the propaganda, like most. It took me DECADES to undo the Vietnam programming which in folly betrayed the TRUE HEROES, and accepted the left’s revisionist version of patriotism.
We have to GO BACK IN TIME and CORRECT THE ERRORS.
And yeah. There appears to be a plan to help us, even though it – too – is imperfect.
Welcome to WAR.
It is my opinion that by analyzing our DEFEATS – things like Charlottesville, January Sixth, and Black Rifle Coffee – we become STRONGER.
Grizzled, SCARRED, and limping at times, but stronger. WILY AND WISE.
Rally to the flag, the REAL flag, again and again, because that is what THEY cannot truly do.
WARNING: This post is for CULTURE WARRIORS ONLY. You were warned.
INTRO
I thought about doing this post for a long time – maybe even before I started this site, which was back in September of 2018.
Then I actually FINISHED this post on September 14 of 2019.
And then I just let it sit in draft, for basically a year and a half. It just didn’t feel DONE, and people didn’t feel READY for it.
Well, today is DIFFERENT. I finished it up.
You see, NOW we read about “country rapper” Lil Nas X, who went from a novelty country song that nobody heard, to a video a few people saw, to a duet cover version with COUGH “father of Miley Cyrus” Billy Ray Cultural Marx… I Mean Billy Ray Cyrus, to an industry-self-congratulatory “CMA” award, to a guy in a cowboy hat with inverted crucifix earrings singing gay stuff to kids in some weird Disney deal, to…….
EVIL: Lil Nas X and MSCHF Release Nike Shoe Dedicated to Satan with a Pentagram and Human Blood in it – In a Limited Edition of 666 Pairs
Yeah. This is Country and Western on Chinese Fentanyl via Hollyweird.
OK. Let’s back up.
I KNOW that the issue of “country going downhill” is as old as country music itself. I mean, first there was ELECTRIC. And DRUMS. And ROCK. And OUTLAW. And…….
Yeah. Country changes. I get that. I LIKE that. SOME of the new stuff is really awesome, in that it actually mixes old root country with new interesting things. It reflects REALITY.
Country GROWS. Just like America. And beyond. That’s all good.
SIDEBAR: Kinda interesting that THEY chose to shoot up THIS guy’s concert.
THEORIES WELCOME.

And I even like some of the offbeat mutations. (Note, however, the CM on it.)

And sometimes country is just neat when it’s almost out of nowhere.
Hands off this song, you bluegrass liberals! This one is ours! It’s just “old timey”!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTmCfSFh_0A
And sometimes, the COOL of the MODERN just makes me think that I’ll trade in my truck for some of that “transhuman” crap RIGHT NOW if that PORT in the side of my head means that I get to listen to amazing stuff like this:
BUT…….
That ain’t what I’m talkin’ about.
I’m not talking about the MUSIC as much as the MESSAGES.
I’m talking about YURI BEZMENOV and DEMORALIZATION – which is SMART and much more subtle than just random issues of cultural modernization in country.
You have to wait for about 1 minute into this video to get to the point where Yuri explains psychological demoralization and how it works, as the first step of ideological subversion.
This is where my red lines are crossed – where country music is being POISONED. And those red lines are RELIGIOUS, CULTURAL and (to some extent) POLITICAL, going back to the undermining of basic morality.
I think I started to become AWARE of it under Obama, or maybe even under Bush, but when some Hillary PAC put out a country music song about CANKLES – well – GOOD LORD.
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO DIE OF LAUGHTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Yeah, that was bad. But it got worse. The friggin’ CIA got on country stations, saying not to vote for Trump….
Yeah, you’ll just have to imagine somebody saying something intelligent about CIA domestic influence ops, and me responding intelligently about lying Obama CIA deputy Mike Morell of Benghazi video fame showing up on iHeart Country Radio shilling for Hillary Clinton right before the 2016 election.
But freakin’ Choomer Rasputin….
Yeah – THAT GUY – deciding that you can’t hear this stuff. THAT is how desperate they were to get Trump out of office.
But LATELY, the manipulation of Nashville by Hollyweird colonists has gotten REALLY strange. Country songs have WEIRD MESSAGES that are straight-up VIRTUE SIGNALING to some unstated future manipulation agenda.
They’re actually half-messages – those Orwellian absolutes that mean nothing – not even nonsense. They’re unattached emotions declared “good”. They’re serious discernments declared “bad”. They are like lullabies to BABIES – to TODDLERS. “Love is good.” “Hate is bad.” They are “fallible truisms” – quarter-turns or half-turns to FULL ORWELL.
Sometimes they hint at where they will be applied politically, but often they are just generic virtue statements – to be applied later.
They aren’t even OLD TRUTHS – much less COMPLEX STORIES.
And STORY – that’s another story.
Let’s go back for a moment, for comparison. Back when the current forms of socialist politicization of country music were just getting started, under Bill Clinton, in the 90’s.
I didn’t see it then – or rather, I didn’t ADMIT TO MYSELF that it was happening then – but I can certainly SEE IT and ADMIT IT now.
There was a kind of “crypto-feminist story” country genre, in which liberal murder fantasies against “country boys” were fulfilled through aggrieved white women in virtue-signal-filled, plot-laden, country songs. that ended with dead white “bad guys” of unstated but ominous nature, who had “wronged” in various nebulous ways the women who needed to take vengeance – frequently the wife or daughter.
The BAD MEN were clearly abusers – but the songs were just ambiguous and poetic enough to make EVERY MAN GUILTY.
It was “Billie Rae Jack” – or GOD in her stead – killing the old white guys in radio format.
Of course, these songs always sounded GREAT, and I cheered along with their EXCITING PLOTS and ENERGIZING MUSIC – even though I knew that *I* was the guy who was gonna be killed by the wife or daughter for rolling my eyes at some giant tin chicken.
Sorry – couldn’t resist. We men have to stick together under these circumstances. *wink*
I miss Daughn. That’s how long ago I was writing this sucker.
Remember those? THOSE SONGS have been the LITMUS TEST that country women have had to perform to “get credibility”. THAT or similar “agenda” songs. Gotta do one of those. Ya know? Gotta PLAY TO THE AGENDA or the CAREER ain’t goin’ nowhere, babe. Can I call you babe?
*SPIT*
Now – I am going to WAKE YOU UP. Right now. FUTURE PROVES PAST.
I love Martina McBride, by the way. Not sure if her pixie face here is real or Photoship or whatever. This is nothing on her. This stuff is so smart, it flies past almost all of us. It weaponizes EVERYTHING WE LOVE and ONE TRUTH AFTER ANOTHER to sell a SOCIETY-CHANGING MYTH.
Go back and WATCH THIS. LOOK at ALL THE SYMBOLS and WHAT THEY SOLD.
Look at how they INVERTED EVERYTHING.
FUTURE PROVES PAST. It was pure psychology – smarter than almost ANYBODY.
Sorry – I have HAD IT with the cultural Marxist ABUSE of the entire country music lifestyle as a way to CHANGE US and DESTROY AMERICA.
So NOW THIS.
Jack Posobiec, doing some kind of penance for recent laziness, seems to be hitting them out of the park this last week.
ANYWAY – finally – I’m putting it all together. What’s happening to country and western music.
The WAR ON COUNTRY has been going on a long time, and they have snuck in so many ringers, dupes and chumps – IN THE BACKGROUND – that “country” is starting to sound – quite frankly – nothing like country.
But just like “it’s not the MUSIC – it’s the MESSAGES“, we have the same thing here – it’s not the FACES, it’s the WORDS.
They use OUR faces – people we can relate to. PEERS.
The RINGERS are in the BACKGROUND. It is the SONG-WRITERS and THOSE WHO PICK WHICH SONGS GET AHEAD who are the real brokers of cultural Marxism in country.
By the way – is there anything in country music similar to the highly skewed cultural Marxist virtue signal emporium known as the “Black List”? If there was, that would sure explain a lot.
This is presumably the SAME as in media, where it’s not the REPORTERS, it’s the EDITORS.
See how it works? The ACTIVE PUPPETS ALWAYS hide behind HUMAN SHIELDS.
So – let’s dig more deeply into the assault. And here is how I see things.
There are two main forms of cultural Marxism attacking country – GENDER-BASED and BEHAVIOR-BASED.
GENDER AND COUNTRY
First of all, before we even deal with what is left in the country music scene, is the EVACUATION OF BIG TALENT.
Notice how FEMALE EXEMPLARS LEAVING COUNTRY (by any means necessary, or even BEFORE going country) is actually a “thing”. It’s a MESSAGE.
They always move the biggest ones OUT, too. ALWAYS.
THAT is a MESSAGE. It is an ONGOING and EVER-LASTING RURAL PURGE.
Nobody becomes MORE COUNTRY. Only LESS COUNTRY.
Remember that girl, when she was just a girl?
Stay with me, boys! I know it’s rough. It’s HARD to look away.
Kinda funny the way they have changed the objects of attraction from sexually dimorphic types to “boygirl” and “girlboy” types. Well, it’s INTENTIONAL. That’s why it changes so fast.
They are REWIRING ATTRACTION.
They are DECOUPLING ATTRACTION AND BIOLOGICAL GENDER.
They are REDEFINING OUR SEXUALITY.
They are MUTATING both the objects of attraction and the objects of self-image. Isn’t that the way that TRANS KIDS works, too? They are deconstructing GENDER FIRST and SEX NEXT.
Wait until pushy, face-palm, forcible TRANS hits country. Trust me – TRANS-COUNTRY is coming, and DON’T YOU BE A “HATER”, cuz YOU YOURSELF sung the anthems against “hate”.
You see what I’m sayin’?
We have NO VOICE in this, unless we fight it tooth and nail. And you had better fight NOW.
So now let’s get to BEHAVIOR, which is where the self-immolating CABAL gets more of the winnings from THEIR side of the deal.
BEHAVIOR AND COUNTRY
Yeah, Miley Cyrus ain’t country, and maybe she NEVER WAS, but that’s not how it works psychologically. Her relation to her FATHER matters subconsciously to you like a HOSTAGE, and THAT IS WHY THEY CHOSE HER. She will always will be a country baby hung over Hollywood crocodiles, psychologically, and THAT is why they did what they did.
They’re DEMORALIZING YOU.
WE THE VICTIMS pretend that psychology doesn’t last one second after the commercial, when the reality is that this stuff lasts our WHOLE LIVES and they have simply LIED TO US about it. They LIED to us that we can “change the channel” and it all goes away.
DO. NOT. BELIEVE THEM.
WAKE THE HELL UP and cut your cable, because on PRIME TIME they don’t show this stuff, but they TALK about it in the background of FAKE NORMAL.
You will notice that EVEN in the “six-mega-hit mash-up” video there is a massive appeal to easy lovin’ in almost every modern country ballad. I remember when this would have been as controversial in country music as #MeToo was for liberals a year ago. Yes, it was consensual premarital sex, but it was still SEX OUT OF WEDLOCK.
Trust me, this itty-bitty beginning of omnipresent sex in country doesn’t sound bad, but these people want WHITE FOLKS to start filling up the Cloward-Piven welfare rolls, and THIS is exactly how to do it, along with FENTANYL – fronted by the CHICOM PUPPETS. First they normalize the baby daddy, and then they normalize kicking him out, and then they normalize him running around proving that he’s a man using his stolen AR-15 as the new country gang-banger.
Sound familiar, but NEW, FRESH, and EXCITING?
The reason I get ahead of THEIR plots is because I can write THEIR stories before THEY bring them to reality. Before they FORCE and SUGGEST those stories into existence.
If you can’t see this shit coming from a mile away, and you would like to JOIN ME IN THIS WAR, then I strongly suggest that you need to cut your cable NOW.
Don’t listen to their chaff stories. Listen to your own.
The next WORLD WAR ain’t gonna be fought with anything like the last two.
It will be fought by PREDICTING THE FUTURE.
Be there before they even think about getting there.
This article really gives some insight into the “mentality of musical credibility” that is being used to sneak satanism into Country & Western music. You can just see how a slow and steady program of patient manipulation uses the desire of white and black Americans to “get along”, and the semi-knowing naivete of selected C&W artists, to allow the satanists and Luciferians to sneak in their devilish tricks.
LOL. Good Lord. When George Clooney playing a Soggy Bottom Boy is more real as Country music than Country music….
I had hoped that this year, we would have a GREAT holiday season, like we almost experienced last year, other than the Phony Fake Impeachment featuring Polident and Pencilneck.
And then, suddenly, I realized that the commies have made EVERY YEAR a kind of hell for our side. But LAST YEAR, lacking the China Virus – their biological grinch – they failed really miserably.
President Trump and First Lady Melania had, in 2019, what was likely THE BEST Hanukkah celebration of the First Trump Term!
President Trump looked awesome, and Melania looked so good, the Jealous Left HOWLED in outrage, not quite sure what to criticize, but they did!
This year, it was interesting. The celebration was a day early (evening of December 9), and President Trump only made a late appearance. Some Fake News even LIED and said he didn’t appear, then did “updates” later to admit that he DID appear.
President Donald Trump spent his Wednesday White House Hanukkah party talking about the “miracle” he’s searching for after the November election.
“The Jewish people have endured a lot over the centuries but always overcame the most impossible situations,” Trump said after walking downstairs from the residence wearing a coat. “Miracles are possible. Maybe we’ll see one in the near future. Yes, we’re not giving up, and we’ll keep fighting to ensure four more years.”
NOW – listen to TWO videos from this little gathering, included in the article. They are VERY hopeful. It is really worth listening to their UPBEAT TONE!
The Jewish people have endured a lot over the centuries but always overcame the most impossible situations.
Miracles are possible maybe we'll see one in the near future.

But you know – here is the thing. Here is the REAL Hanukkah gift!
Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco have agreed to full diplomatic relations – a massive breakthrough for peace in the Middle East!
I truly believe that GOD IS WITH US, and will not abandon those who are faithful and serve His cause!
Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
Do you need a GODLY reason to WIN THIS THING?
We can elect TRUMP to FOUR MORE YEARS – and finish the job of securing peace and safety for Israel (and AMERICA – you know – as in AMERICA FIRST!) in these dangerous times, or we can stop HALF-WAY and go back to ENDLESS WARS with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Perhaps you recall my PREVIOUS correspondence and “review” of the new, two-shot shingles vaccine, Shingrix – or more specifically, my review of the FIRST SHOT.
Hey, it’s not every day that I get to post something that’s not only about the unspeakable issue of vaccines, but is both PRO-VAX and ANTI-VAX at the same time. I mean, what’s the use of FREE SPEECH if we can’t use it to troll EVERYBODY – including PENCILNECK? Whoops – WRONG PENCILNECK. Let’s try …
Well, I’m BACK to report my experience with the SECOND SHOT.
This was all something of a surprise.
I had FINALLY – in LATE JUNE – gotten to see a doctor [IN PERSON] for COVID-19 aftermath. This was LONG AFTER having gotten the disease in late January [LONG STORY] and THEN spending the first half of this year figuring out how to treat both the disease and the aftermath MYSELF [AND WITH YOU GOOD PEOPLE], mostly through internet rumors, discussions here, and self-experimentation by trial and error.
After all the discussion, the data gathering, the prescribing, the scheduling, and the blood-drawing, I was asked WHICH ARM for my vaccination.
“WHOA-OH!”
Yes, I had forgotten that it was only just in September of 2019 when I had been infected with the mythical disease of RETROSYNTHETIC DINOPOX – namely recombinant glycoproteins of Herpes zoster virus plus various adjuvants – which had knocked out my left arm like a line-drive baseball, and left me mildly sick for the better part of a week.
Was I ready for a REPLAY?
UGH.
Well, as I stated before, retrosynthetic dinopox is bad, but SHINGLES is far, far worse.
Yeah. Gimme the disease shot.
So – what has it been like? In a word…..
“SYSTEMIC”.
While I immediately noticed both soreness and swelling at the injection site, deep in the muscle of my triceps (back of the arm), most of the local effects were delayed.
Much like the FIRST shot, redness did not reach the surface for over 24 hours, and was not pronounced until about 36 hours.
In contrast, systemic effects were almost immediate. I could tell that something was happening while I was driving home. It was that uneasiness one feels at the beginning of the flu, or – COUGH, COVID-19x (more on “x” later). It’s somewhat non-descript, but unnerving – the unmistakable feeling of incipient illness.
Unsure of how significant these effects might be, I plotted a course which would take me close to both a hospital and an outpatient clinic, in case things got bad. Fortunately I got home without incident.
Once home, I was able to take it easy and observe things more carefully. I was feeling joint stiffness, dull and very diffuse headaches (more aptly labeled discomfort), and a kind of light tingling all over – a mild but very definite “electric shock” sensation. This sensation persisted for about a day, too.
Taking a brief nap, I noticed a dull ache in my kidneys some time after awakening. This was very reminiscent of what I had experienced with COVID-19x, as well as earlier [mild] episodes of kidney stones when I was not hydrating enough. I had treated both of these before with vitamin C and plenty of Gatorade and water – the same trick worked here.
By evening, I noticed that I was experiencing mild chills. These lasted almost all night, but they were gone by early morning. This is one of the more interesting parts of the experience. I don’t remember experiencing chills as part of the FIRST shot at all.
They weren’t terrible chills – no shaking – no chattering teeth. Just some goosebumps and a mild desire to put on a jacket in an admittedly cool summer.
I decided not to alter my normal regimen of vitamins and supplements. I had considered backing off on all minerals to ease the burden on my kidneys, but the truth is that I needed to treat the post-COVID endothelial damage to my kidneys more than I needed to go easy on them. This turned out to be correct – my kidney aches went away without reducing my mineral supplements in any way. Good hydration and vitamin C were all I needed.
The first night (or, TBH, morning) of sleep with round 2 of retrosynthetic dinopox was reasonable but not exactly pleasant. I eventually felt rested, but just barely.
My sleep was filled with recurring dreams of – as best as I can describe it – being medically strafed by small planes, the noise of which would shoot away a kind of weird ground cover grown by the vaccination and COVID-19. I won’t even get into the spiritual aspects of this, which involved American Indian converts to Christianity around the Revolutionary War. That’s a bit harder to explain.
These were not normal dreams. These were definitely “I’m coming down with something” dreams.
The next day, however, was much better. ALL symptoms were diminishing, except for redness at the site of the injection. I eventually has a “prophylactic Gatorade” before bed, but otherwise had a normal day, and even did some light yard work and heavy lifting.
Things were “on the mend” – at least SYSTEMICALLY.
Interesting, though, that by the SECOND night (36 hours), redness at the injection site had increased to the point where it was clearly visible. The total area of redness was as big as my whole hand and fingers. There was still localized swelling at the injection site.
Redness maximized by the THIRD night (60 hours). It diminished somewhat by the 4th night (84 hours), and was almost GONE by the 5th night (108 hours). I was back to “heavy work” earlier that day. At this point, I regarded the vaccination drama as OVER.
SO – the bottom line – FOR ME – is that the SECOND Shingrix injection was NOT AS BAD as the first.
Take that for what you will.
Thus, my final recommendation is the same as before. BE A SMART VACCINE SHOPPER. Listen, if you want, to what I have to say – apply it to your own case and beliefs if you so choose. You don’t have to do what I did – just know what I know, and consider whether my experiences have any bearing on yours.
And THAT is the way all reviews should be, IMO. We report. You decide.
A Deplorable Abroad, Wherein Keln’s Meme Takes on a Profound Second Meaning
I must begin by admitting – to a limited extent – where I was during my recent absence.
For a short time, I was in Paris – as in Paris, France. I was forced by circumstances to take a taxi across downtown Paris on a rather noisy, wet, and surprisingly warm night.
It was only about 15 minutes out of my entire journey – maybe a half hour at most – but in that short time, I lucked into some of the most important information I’ve ever managed to pick up.
Nothing secret – nothing dangerous – nothing of monetary value to me, nor to anybody I know. And yet – what I learned is of immense value to those of us who actually care about the future of this world. It is of particular value to you, my fellow QTreepers, and to the rest of our fellow Deplorables.
I would hardly think that a random cab-driver – a talkative Francophone immigrant from Nigeria who was nonetheless eager to try his English – might change my entire outlook on the world, but that is exactly what happened. And who knows? This man’s wonderful and engaged thoughts, poured out to a random American who flagged down his random taxi on a random Paris street – might even influence an entire nation, far away.
To set the stage for our conversation, I should tell you that I had – without seeking them out – already encountered the “yellow jackets” in France. I won’t say where or when, other than that it was also on this trip.
The yellow jackets I saw were not violent at all. They were like you see them in the photograph here – peacefully assembled. There were enough of them – a dozen or two – that it was not pathetic, but not so many that it would have been an actual staged protest. It was more like a vigil – a kind of semi-permanent reminder to the authorities that the movement was not going to simply go away.
I am not convinced that it is the actual yellow jackets who are violent. The group I encountered was just outside one of the premiere historical strongholds of communists in France. I have believed for some time that communist infiltration has been used to provoke violence in both France and Hong-Kong, in order to alienate peaceful citizens from the protesters, and thus PREVENT the formation of any significant, peaceful movement like that created by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Very important. THEY DON’T WANT A PEACEFUL MOVEMENT. See a guy named “Q”.
I have wanted to say this for some time, but it was not until I spotted the geographic coincidence of active yellow jackets and potentially infiltrating communists that I had any proof of this.
It was my impression that in “flyover France” I have actually encountered MANY “out of uniform” yellow jackets who were simply leading their daily lives, and not wearing their vests. To most visitors, I’m sure they just seem like normal men and women of France. They are just “regular, everyday people”. But to me – a deplorable from America – I could spot them in the same way that I can spot a fellow deplorable here. They were French men and women of the working and small business classes – honest to a fault – who have a kind of well-earned pride in their lives, their regions, their beliefs, and their country – something that has always made FRANCE a thing of its own, and a place worth visiting.
So – when I took that fateful taxi ride, I was already practiced in spotting those who belong to the simmering populist underside of France. And when I spotted my driver as possibly being one of les deplorables français, I knew exactly what to do.
I invoked my greatest superpower – the ability to grant completely free speech to anybody!

I could tell that my driver wanted to say something. I could sense that he was holding back – that he wanted to pour something out to an American. Having been “trained” by all the people who have tried to pump me for information over my lifetime, I simply did the same to him – responding to everything he said with small bits of encouraging agreement – administered every time he said something.
It was easy. After all, as you will see, I could find some point of agreement with everything he was saying. In only a minute or two, he was edging into politics. EXACTLY where I was hoping he would go. My enthusiastic agreement with his final point – leaning forward excitedly from the back seat – was all it took to make him “go there” for the rest of the ride.
I was very careful not to throw out any “big rocks” like “pro-Trump” or “Republican” or things that might inhibit him from pouring out his honest beliefs. MY politics didn’t matter. I wanted to see the world from HIS point of view. So I responded with broader PRINCIPLES OF AGREEMENT, or smaller POINTS OF PARALLEL, rather than LABELS or any other potential deal-breakers. It was a remarkably effective strategy.
As he began shifting into unabashed politics, I realized that he was just like us. I was actually STUNNED to realize that everything Flep has been telling us about the yellow jackets is PAINFULLY true.
So when we say that FLEP is the REAL NEWS now, this is NOT bullshit. It’s REALITY.
My taxi driver may or may not have been a yellow jacket – probably NOT, if I had to guess. However, he was BY ALL MEANS a remarkably deep sympathizer with their movement. He was VISIBLY AND DEEPLY ANGRY at their injuries at the hands of the police, but he did not blame it on the police – he blamed it on the French GOVERNMENT and MEDIA.
In what was one of the biggest “black comedy horror laughs” that we shared, he described how the French government and media will jump to unified outrage at the slightest protest violence in Russia, but will not even mention grave injuries to yellow jackets in their own country.
All I could think was “Muh Russia – so THEY have it, too.”
I should tell you that, by this point in the conversation, I was thinking “What the hell – does this guy read SUNDANCE? Is he following TRUMP TWEETS? Is he lurking on OUR BLOG?”
Seriously, the guy sounded like a deplorable or a Treeper on Twitter. Although I never asked his opinion of Trump, nor did he ever SAY as much, his VIEW OF THE WORLD was UTTERLY TRUMPIAN. It was STRAIGHT OUTTA the thinking of Trump, Bannon, Stephen Miller, and Sundance, although tempered with bits of Cernovich, Raimondo, Rand Paul, and others on the “MAGA left” and libertarian side. But yet he was almost certainly unaware of ANY of these people, except Trump.
None of this is to say that he was “pro-American”. Not at all. Neither was he anti-American. He was like a lot of legal immigrants in America – almost RABIDLY loyal to his newly adopted country. But I sensed that he was outraged that the old France – the one he had signed onto – the one he believed in – was slipping away. Actually, that’s not strong enough. He believed that it was being DESTROYED.
The culprit? He made no evasion – GLOBALISM and the FAILED ESTABLISHMENT.
This taxi driver was remarkably fluent in economics, with his ultimate viewpoint being very Trumpian, in my opinion – that capitalism is good, but that the PEOPLE have to be able to control it, or else it will act in ways to the detriment of the people as a whole. His concerns were more along the lines of capitalism’s loyalty to stockholders over the good of the country – my concerns were more about the dangers of monopoly. But it was clear to me that we were both seeing capitalism from the populist point of view, somewhat along Bannon lines.
He saw the rise of China and the basic improvement of the lot of the Chinese people as a demonstration of the good side of capitalism. And yet, he saw the PROBLEMS of China, France, and America all arising from capitalism as well, albeit for different reasons.
In the case of China, he saw the “wild west” nature of its capitalism as having led to the rapid build-up, but also resulting in the extreme fakeness of the Chinese market. Queue a link to Daughn’s wonderful post about the Generalized China Hustle:
But let’s not dump unfairly on China alone here. He reserved his greatest accusations of fakeness for the American economy (which he nonetheless insisted was a superpower, as per Sundance and Trump) and the French establishment’s “fake narrative”, with which the government and media deludes the French people.
All in all, a remarkable indictment of PHONY GLOBALISM.
This idea of “fakeness” was a real unifier for this taxi driver – something which obviously blew me away, since “FAKE” is something I harp about all the time (“fake news, fake entertainment, fake history, fake science, fake normal, fake reality”). In his opinion, our “fake news” (which I brought up, and which made him laugh) is actually SMALL POTATOES next to the overall MASSIVE FAKENESS of the French establishment NARRATIVE (his words).
In his opinion, there is massive economic FAKERY which is problematic for both France and America. He had NO ILLUSIONS about the continued extreme FAKENESS of the American DEBT and DEFICIT situations – something that our very own NY GUY is always reminding us about. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things he mentioned. I will get back to the taxi driver’s thinking in more detail later.
SIDEBAR: The DEBT PROBLEM – by the way – is also a 2020 WINNER for Republicans in the HOUSE and SENATE. If we FINALLY want to get control of the outrageous albatrosses holding back our economy, then we MUST give TRUMP the tools he needs, and that means a REPUBLICAN HOUSE, able to FIX the budgetary problems Pelosi REFUSES to address. The VOTERS will SEE THIS and UNDERSTAND.
But beyond this, my taxi driver believes that the French people have been massively deluded by a completely FAKE NARRATIVE (his words) – a kind of ILLUSION – both economic and cultural – which is now CRUMBLING (his word) in the eyes of the French people.
Never did I hear the terms “Q”, “Great Awakening”, or anything remotely close to any of the memes we have here for such things. And yet, that is EXACTLY what he was talking about. To me, it is not a coincidence – not an accident.
The GREAT AWAKENING, WORLDWIDE, is REAL.
GA is WW.
We may have different words to express it, but IT’S HAPPENING.
One of the most important things that my driver told me was why China is winning in Africa.
In fact, once he told me this, I was fully resolved to write this article, which I otherwise did NOT want to write. I value my travel privacy, and would rather people thought that I never leave Wolf Creek Junction for any purpose whatsoever. Well, too bad for moi. This is important stuff.
My driver’s observations are based upon his recent trips to Africa, where he observed developmental progress that shocked him – and which was, upon his investigation, the direct result of TRADE WITH CHINA.
According to my driver, Western nations and organizations, including very particularly the IMF, play a cruel and stealthy game of “blame the victim” (my words) that keeps Africa exactly where they want it. Rather than do the things that would let Africa actually develop, Western financial institutions withhold financing and trade using excuses like human rights, while – very cynically – said excuse problems are the precise outcome of lack of development.
To my thinking, it has become a kind of sick game, where unless Africa performs impossible or purpose-defeating demands, it can’t get what it needs. It’s like demanding that a drowning victim call out clearly and nicely something – maybe her PIN – if she wants a life preserver thrown to her – none of this “wave your arms and gurgle stuff” allowed.
This catch-22 situation is NOT unintended – it is purely intentional. It is part of the FAKENESS that the taxi driver places SQUARELY on what WE call “the cabal”.
So what does China do? First of all, what it’s best at – not giving a damn about human rights. Second of all, what it’s also best at – Wild-West capitalism.
Africa wants this? We want that. Is it a fair trade? You decide. But ONLY you decide.

To me, there appears to be so much human sabotage here by the Western “cabal”, that I almost have to blame “pencilneck”, because only non-humans or malevolently programmed humans would be so sick and anti-human. But then again, when somebody can make the organ-harvesting ChiComs look like SAINTS, you have to be doing EVIL right in some way or another. That is definitely SATAN’S bag.
Ya know what I mean? Or maybe they just “aren’t their brother’s keeper”. There’s always that excuse.
Remember – if Africa’s problems are finally FIXED, then the cabal’s MONEY-LAUNDERING PLOYS and HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION FIELD LABORATORIES all go away.
Make sense now? They don’t want the problems to go away. THEY WANT THE PROBLEMS. JUST. LIKE. HERE.
And China may not be helping out of any kindness in its heart, but at least it’s not actively keeping Africa down. Well, maybe I should take that back.
Interesting world.
The point is simple. Why are WE letting China and THE SABOTAGE CABAL set the rules on Africa? It’s time to CALL THEM ALL OUT.
A few other odds and ends, as I recall them.
The deplorables of France seem to see the Syrian situation almost exactly like our deplorables see it – contrary to the view of the interventionist establishment. The French media, described by my taxi driver, sounded just like CNN on the issue of Syria. This is not surprising, given that I am aware of the degree to which the Japanese television media (especially NHK) is also dependent upon CNN for its view of America, if not the entire world.
Now it would be dishonest of me not to mention that the taxi driver thought America wastes way too much money on military spending, when its debt is so outrageous, but that leads me to a very important point I alluded to earlier.
I said this guy was fluent in economics, and I was almost thinking he sounded like the “Mises geeks” I’ve known. At the core of the world’s problems, he sees all of the dysfunction and fakeness flowing out of our bass-ackwards ideas of spending “play money” that we don’t actually have. Debt slavery of ALL MEN AND WOMEN is real and palpable to this guy. He sees it everywhere, where it has become invisible to us, like the memory of an elder favored brother who has left the home and still pollutes every decision. We don’t see it now, but since the mid-twentieth century, DEBT has slowly been used to ENSLAVE all of us to SELL-OUT GLOBALISM. First our homes, then our cars, and finally our children’s education. WE OWN NONE OF IT.
He sees the entire world LITERALLY ENSLAVED by the FAKE WORLD of DEBT.
Who has control? Not us.
I had never really seen how INSIDIOUS this is, until a cab driver in FRANCE of all places, explained it to me.
I could have talked with this guy for hours, but my mind was filled when we got to my stop. I wanted to remember everything he had said. I tipped him fair, but as an afterthought, realizing all he had given me, I gave him every coin in my pockets and thanked him.
And then, as he drove away, I realized. There was one more favor I could do him.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce my teacher, from France.
