This is a Wolf Moon Emergency Wednesday Post. You ain’t gonna get the usual stuff.
This is a perfect opportunity for me to address this whole question of QAnon, Trump, “a pause” and the existence/nonexistence thereof, “The Plan”, etc.
Try to imagine a continuum of infinite dimensions (that would be reality per se) but let’s watch it progress in one particular dimension (“time”) with all possible states moving forward.
The socialists have a vision for how this should happen. The forces who backed Trump have a different vision. Blah blah blah. You all know all this stuff.
The Trump years (2016-2020) were obviously characterized by the leftists, globalists and their allies doing everything in their power to resist movement in a Trump direction (“America First”), but also by a lot of great things happening, and our learning the REALITY of how they actually worked.
There are other agendas layered into that whole conflict, which have goals in different dimensions, but you understand that.
To me, “the pause” is code for Trump accepting his bogus electoral loss and ending the brief advance in an America First direction. Whether it was a mutual decision with the deep pro-Trump forces in the military and civilian government or not, Trump clearly didn’t have the stomach for a civil war. At some point, a decision was made somewhere, not to push “a return of honest government” any harder than they did. It probably would have turned into something that only the evil would have benefited from, IMO.
Yet you will notice what 3-4 years has bought us – a new position – wiser, savvier (IMO), and with massive discreditation of the opposition. The enemy at the highest levels has had to openly call for assassination of Donald Trump, through the evil Kagan, husband of the evil Nuland, and clearly connected to the highly discredited CIA. They’re that beside themselves.
I am one who has no problem maintaining long-term realistic optimism against extreme short-term negative realism (I don’t use the term pessimism, because it tends to be unreasonable). Time is the gift from God that allows a gradient of wonder to be created. He sees it, and it is good – by definition. Accepting the GIFT of time is not a problem for me.
I have FAITH in our MOVEMENT toward increasing TRUTH and defined (though sometimes conflicting and ill-defined) GOOD. I hope that you do, as well.
I believe that Q provided helpful guideposts for us, from the viewpoint of a small group within the military which has an excellent understanding of the big picture. They are not so much in control, as in understanding of controlling things. They do have control of certain things I choose not to talk about, though the other side looks desperately for them, and that is why I choose not to talk about these things. But most of the things the Q folks seem to have, are understandings of what is inevitable, and what is not. Some of that is reflected in the Q posts.
Think of a big chess game, with two players following rules. Add many, many players, add even more rules, and add possibilities to cheat, but also add emergent realities that cannot be cheated.
THAT is the game in play. THAT is the level of “control” that people have. And for the very smart people behind Q, that level of “control” is more than enough to taunt the enemy, to encourage down-hearted people on our side, and to give oxygen to our movement.
Yes, there was a kind of pause – we all know it. The advance under Trump has been “paused” by conceding our righteous turn, to a horrible administration called “46”, which came between 45 and 47.
I am not afraid to have faith in what comes next. ALL of those infinite possibilities in those infinite dimensions, advancing in that one dimension called time, are fine with me – precisely because of my faith in God.
I hope that all of you find, strengthen, and renew that faith. God bless you all!
The DemonRat Commies plans just became clear as I wrote this comment! It explains John Kerry’s travels and consultation with Iran during the Trump Admin. and so much more. I am going to flesh it out into an article.
The DemonRats were ALWAYS PLANNING ON USING TERRORISTS TO DESTROY THE USA and the plans were laid Years ago.
THAT is why Obama shipped the cargo planes of cash to Iran.
That is why the BILLIONS of $$$ and Arms sent to Ukraine have gone missing. That is why the Arms were left in Afghanistan.
It was NEVER BUMBLING. It was STOCKPILING the money and weapons needed to INVADE THE USA over our open borders, disguised as illegal immigration!
We tend to ignore John Kerry but I think we do so at our peril. On 2013-02-01 John Kerry succeeded Hillary Clinton as Obama’s US Secretary of State. Kerry was a former Chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Here are some articles about Kerry and the rest of the players in no particular order.
The Biden-Ukraine or Biden-Burisma scandal involves prominent members of the Obama administration, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign. Vice President Joe Biden publicly admitted that he had threatened Ukrainian leaders to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless they fired a prosecutor who was looking into a money laundering operation for which the Biden Family, thru Hunter Biden (right) received $50,000 a month in kickbacks.[10][11] …
New reports from OANN indicate that Biden’s son Hunter is not alone in corruption related to oil companies in Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. has had business dealings with Viscoil, and those videos are being systematically removed from YouTube to prevent further investigation….
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, and Christopher Heinz, John Kerry stepson, formed Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity firm in 2009 with their friend, Devon Archer. …
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia. Vice President Joe Biden threatens Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden, on the board of the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings….
This is the Algerian Strategy on full display AND Biden’s Admin is busy importing more people to terrorize us into submission.
I found Wictor’s archived version. (Feb 7, 2020) It does not hurt to have another copy:
In reading this twitter thread it becomes OBVIOUS that the HAMAS – Israel mess WAS VERY MUCH PLANNED AS ANOTHER EXCUSE TO SET OFF A ROUND OF TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE USA. Only this time it will be multiple attacks on many of our major cities.
Want a reason to ‘postpone the elections in 2024? How about rampant country wide terrorism.

[QUOTE]
A couple of days ago I wrote that the Democrats are implementing the Algerian Strategy in the United States.
@SpeakerPelosi tore up the State of the Union address to signal that she’s on board with the Algerian Strategy.
During the Algerian Civil War of 1991-2002, the Algerian government helped the Armed Islamic Group or GIA (Groupe Islamique Armé), the most violent terrorists in human history.
The GIA’s motto was “No agreement, no truce, no dialogue.”
All they did was mass murder civilians in night raids. They cut the throats of entire villages and dumped them into wells.
What the GIA wanted was preemptive nationwide surrender.
The government helped the GIA for almost eleven years, until the Algerian populace agreed to support the government.
Only then did the government take on and destroy the GIA.
The Democrats are doing the same thing here.
All over the country, the most violent criminals are being released.
Violent felonies such as killing a police officer while resisting arrest are being decriminalized.
Cash bail is being abolished.
Incarceration itself is on the verge of being abolished.
I said that the Democrats are even IMPORTING violent criminals.

And now we have the proof.
H. R. 5383. The New Way Forward Act.
It not only abolishes any form of punishment for illegal-alien criminals, it forces the government to REPATRIATE criminals we deported.
The bill is over 4000 pages long.
I’ll just post the titles.
TITLE I—End Mandatory Detention and Require Probable Cause for Arrest
SEC. 101. Phase-out of private for-profit detention facilities and use of jails.
SEC. 201. Time for commencing removal proceedings.
(After an illegal is ordered deported, release them, and if they evade custody for five years, the deportation order expires. Even for murderers.)
TITLE III—Limit Criminal-System-to-Removal Pipeline
SEC. 301. Criminal offenses and immigration laws.
(Eliminate aggravated felonies as a reason for deportation.)
TITLE IV—Restore Judicial Discretion and End Removal Without Due Process
SEC. 401. Immigration procedural changes.
(Give immigration judges the power to vacate all deportation orders, regardless of the conviction.)
TITLE V—Prohibition against Performance of Immigration Officer Functions by State and Local Officers and Employees
SEC. 501. Local enforcement.
(Make it a federal crime for state, county, and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.)
TITLE VI—Decriminalize Migration
SEC. 601. Repealing migration criminal laws.
(Abolish all American immigration laws. Eliminate the borders.)
SEC. 701. Reconsidering and reopening immigration cases.
(Force the federal government to transport previously deported illegal aliens back to the United States.)
The New Way Forward Act will make it impossible to prevent illegal immigration, impossible to incarcerate illegal-alien criminals, and impossible to deport anybody for any reason.
This is the first nationwide attempt to implement the Algerian Strategy.
My thesis here is that the Cabal learned, in the late 1960s, early 1970s, that the earth was likely heading into an ice age. I documented this in GREENHOUSE, ICEHOUSE OR CLIMATIC MADHOUSE? h/t Neuman and Hearty (1996) They decided to hide that fact from the general population while preparing for glaciation by consolidating power, conserving resources and reducing world population growth. Via grant money they also directed research into genetic manipulation of plants and animals, surveillance techniques and other technology. They knew that over the last 5 to 8 million years during glaciation, CO2 dipped dangerously low, forcing the evolution of C4 plants and the extinction of mammals. This explains many of their disinformation campaigns such as ‘Global Warming, CO2 is BAD, Feminism, abortion is good, and having too many kids is BAD. It even explains the nuclear power scares. They are well aware that the Grand Solar Maximum that lifted the earth out of the Little Ice Age has now ended, and they may truly think that a new Ice Age is imminent.
No one wants to stick their neck out and predict glaciation, but it does not matter. The only choices are glaciation or a climatic ‘madhouse.’ Either way the only climate we will see in the near future is the ‘madhouse.’
Before I get into the evidence showing why the Cabal wants to conserve coal, oil and nuclear fuels for use during the coming cooling/ice age, I want to point out another indicator that the Cabal is expecting the transition to glacial conditions AND THEY EXPECT IT NOW. Since William McClenney wrote Glacial Inception: the climatic ‘madhouse’nine years ago, his link to the Neuman & Hearty paper has gone dead … Imagine that!!! Since I started to write this paper even more ‘clean-up’ of ‘inconvenient’ information has occurred so I am going to address that as a separate topic.
CLIMATIC MADHOUSE
I would also like to point out the recent change in the Cabal’s rhetoric. The talking heads no longer use ‘Global Warming,’ since it is no longer warming, and instead use ‘Climate Change’ or ‘Climate Disruption’. Hearty uses the phrase ‘Climatic Madhouse’ for the same phenomena. That is certainly a good reason for the Cabal to deep six the paper referenced by McClenney at WUWT. They do not want a reference pointing out that ‘Climate Disruption’ is not only natural, but an indication that we are heading into either Little Ice Age conditions or a full blown Ice Age.
The geology of the Last Interglaciation (sensu stricto, marine isotope substage (MIS) 5e) in the Bahamas records the nature of sea level and climate change. After a period of quasi-stability for most of the interglaciation, during which reefs grew to +2.5 m, sea level rose rapidly at the end of the period, incising notches in older limestone. After brief stillstands at +6 and perhaps +8.5 m, sea level fell with apparent speed to the MIS 5d lowstand and much cooler climatic conditions. It was during this regression from the MIS 5e highstand that the North Atlantic suffered an oceanographic “reorganization” about 118±3 ka ago. During this same interval, massive dune-building greatly enlarged the Bahama Islands. Giant waves reshaped exposed lowlands into chevron-shaped beach ridges, ran up on older coastal ridges, and also broke off and threw megaboulders onto and over 20 m-high cliffs. The oolitic rocks recording these features yield concordant whole-rock amino acid ratios across the archipelago. Whether or not the Last Interglaciation serves as an appropriate analog for our “greenhouse” world, it nonetheless reveals the intricate details of climatic transitions between warm interglaciations and near glacial conditions.
And a paper by different authors looking at a different part of the world showing a similar chaotic transition from the warm phase to the cold phase.
This is a review of several different studies. The scientists are looking at both the geochemical data and the biological data (pollen), two independent methods of determining the climate of the past showing the same chaos.
1. INTRODUCTION
The time intervals of global large-scale transitions between glacial and interglacial epochs are characterized by instable stages throughout Quaternary climate course. During such warm-cold transitions an increase of mid- and small-scale climate variations can be expected….
At the very end of the Eemian (PAZ E7) and just before the complete change to glacial conditions, a brief phase of warming is recognized from all geochemical indicators. This is indicated by the coordinate increase of contents and stable isotope values of both lake carbonate and the organic sediment fraction…
…Comparable findings were also described by earlier investigations of the Neumark–Nord profile (Litt, 1994). A pronounced increase of fluctuations in arboreal vegetation during the final stage of the Last Interglacial in LPAZ N8 is observed…. at least two stages of degradation of coniferous forest vegetation, while birch woodlands became widespread. Together with geochemical data, these can be interpreted as an indicator of increased climatic instability caused by short warming events during the very end of the Last Interglacial (Eemian)….
The earth’s climate seems to be bistable so that a temperature ‘low point’ has “increased climatic instability” as seen during the Little Ice Age. So whether we are looking at the very end of the Holocene and Glacial inception OR the earth bumping along at the low point with “cooling over the next ~90,000 years.” – Dr.Lorraine Lisiecki, April 6, 2010 at 7:31 pmthe chances are the earth will be experiencing increasingly unstable weather and the Cabal, darn well KNOWS THAT. Hence the new term ‘Climate Disruption’.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTIC WE CAN EXPECT OF A COMING ICE AGE?
‘Arid, Windy, Dusty’ from lack of rain plus much lower CO2. Combine that with a shorter cooler summer growing season and you are looking at starvation, UNLESS you have greenhouses with Heat, CO2 and desalinated water. Under those conditions, coal, oil, gas and nuclear are priceless resources.
….The close correlation between climate and vegetation is evident in every part of the world. (The cold, dry conditions of Antarctica and the moist & humid conditions of the tropical rain forests in South America are just two examples of this powerful interaction.) The strong connection between the two is also proving to play a key role in categorizing and dividing the global climate into more specific zones….
Late in the 19th century, climatologist and botanist Wladimir Köppen developed a climate classification system based on vegetation. He used the correlation between vegetation and climate in different regions to divide the world’s climate into specific zones….
Climatologists continued to make amendments to Köppen’s climate classification. Rudolf Geiger was probably the most influential in making important amendments, and the subsequent Köppen-Geiger Classification System is one of the most widely used today….
The following graphs shows the Köppen Climate Boundary for mid America. If you look at the bottom graph, you can see how the cooling in the 1970s moved the Köppen Climate Boundary south by about 150 to 200 miles. Think what that did to the grain harvests in not only the USA, but also in Canada, Russia and China. World leaders were panicking as world grain stores were depleted to a 30 day supply by1969 per 1974 CIA Report mentioned below.
This is the December 3, 1972 Letter from George Kukla and others warning Nixon of a coming Ice Age. I originally saw this letter at Tony Heller’s site. Between the time I started writing and now it was removed. However I found another copy.
An important conference was held in January at Brown University: “The Present Interglacial, How and When Will it End?” As a result, the following letter was sent to the President. The media has not reported this, but you should be aware of the letter and its significance.
Dear Mr. President:
Aware of your deep concern with the future of the world, we feel obliged to inform you on the results of the scientific conference held here recently. The conference dealt with the past and future changes of climate and was attended by 42 top American and European investigators. We enclose the summary report published in Science and further publications are forthcoming in Quaternary Research.
The main conclusion of the meeting was that a global deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experience by civilized mankind, is a very real possibility and indeed may be due very soon.
The cooling has natural cause and falls within the rank of processes which produced the last ice age. This is a surprising result based largely on recent studies of deep sea sediments.
Existing data still do not allow forecast of the precise timing of the predicted development, nor the assessment of the man’s interference with the natural trends. It could not be excluded however that the cooling now under way in the Northern Hemisphere is the start of the expected shift. The present rate of the cooling seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century, if continuing at the present pace.
The practical consequences which might be brough by such developments to existing social institution are among others:
(1) Substantially lowered food production due to the shorter growing seasons and changed rain distribution in the main grain producing belts of the world, with Eastern Europe and Central Asia to be first affected.
(2) Increased frequency and amplitude of extreme weather anomalies such as those bringing floods, snowstorms, killing frosts, etc.
With the efficient help of the world leaders, the research …
With best regards,
George J. Kukla (Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory) R. K. Matthews (Chairman, Dept of Geological Sciences, Brown U)
And a 1974 article by the Guardian. Again, H/T Tony Heller. Funny, this one was not deep-sixed like the above image.
The Malthusian Eugenicists like John D Rockefeller seized on this coming Ice Age information to further scare world leaders into going along with their Depopulation plans as documented in the 1974 Kissinger Report, otherwise known as the National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200[my excerpts]. (See the rest of my Depop series listed at the end of the article.)
As secret reports like 1974 NSSM 200 and the 1974 CIA Report: “A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems” were being written about the coming cooling/ possible glaciation, Maurice Strong, the Rockefeller’s lapdog, was screaming about ‘Global Warming’ at the UN Conference on the Human Environment, (June 1972.) There he was busytelling the newly formed NGOs to go home and raise hell. NGOs BTW were Strong’s brainchild based on YMCA International who he had worked with.LINK
It is instructive to read Strong’s 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992.Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, the population time bomb. Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs [non-governmental organizations]: he gave them money to come; they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe. http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html
A year later the Rockefeller OPEC puppets — Think ARAMCO who Strong worked for — implemented the 1973 oil embargo quadrupling the price of oil by 1974. Remember, on August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon closed the U.S. gold window and the Petrodollar Agreement was implemented in 1973.
“..There was a phony “nationalization” of Aramco in the 1970s… the Saudi government took over Aramco, formally, but then immediately turned around and granted the Aramco-Rockefeller consortium the exclusive contract to “manage” the operation…” LINK
So any bets the Malthusian Rockefellers were behind OPEC?
COOLING VS THE FOOD PROBLEM – First there is the problem of WATER.
I think everyone is aware of what shorter growing seasons do to the food supply, at least I hope so. I also hope people can connect increase in solar energy going into the oceans with an increase of evaporation and thus an increase in rain. Likewise a DECREASE in solar energy will mean less evaporation and less rain. Compared to the Holocene, the Wisconsin Ice Age was very dry.
“Summary map of vegetation cover at 8,000 14C years BP. By 8,000 14C y.a., the Earth was under a full interglacial climate,[the Holocene]with conditions warmer and moister than present in many parts of the world. Tropical forest in Africa (and probably also Asia) was expanded in area, and the areas of desert in Africa and Asia were much reduced.”
Africa is interesting. The present potential looks more like the full glaciation map than it does like the Early Holocene map.
Full glaciation
Early Holocene
Present Potential
So the first problem in an Ice Age (and now) is the lack of RAIN.
Greenhouses take the chaotic weather out of the picture
“The ice that had formed from falling snow during the transition from the last of the cold, dry, windy ice ages to the first of the warm, wet calms of the modern 10,000-year-long Holocene climate is 1,678 meters, just over a mile, down the GISP2 core. Rendered in ice, what exactly would it look like, this boundary of epochs? The young American scientists had read the literature from Chet Langway, Willi Dansgaard, Hans Oeschger, Wally Broecker, and others, and they had heard from the Europeans, who were about a year ahead of them in drilling at Summit. Yet still they were not entirely prepared for what they saw that day in the ice, for the suddenness of it.”…
“‘You did not need to be a trained ice core observer to see this,’ recalled Alley. ‘Ken Taylor is sitting there with the ECM and he’s running along and his green line is going wee, wee, wee, wee – Boing! Weep! Woop! And then it stays down.’ Dust in the windy ice age atmosphere lowered the acidity of the core to a completely new state. ‘We’re just standing there and he just draws a picture of it,”‘Alley said.”….

Paper after paper began to roll off the scientific presses from 1992 on, and just like the unfolding recognition of plate tectonics which preceded it by a few decades, it was literally riveting for all of us geologists fascinated by the Quaternary. So we get our first trap-speed 👉 𝕔𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕤𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕒𝕓𝕣𝕦𝕡𝕥𝕝𝕪 𝕗𝕣𝕠𝕞 𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕠 𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕞 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕛𝕦𝕤𝕥 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕪𝕖𝕒𝕣.….” — William McClenney, Geologist THE END OF THE HOLOCENE
Notice the optimal range is 700 to 1200 PPM over double the current ambient levels. Also note plants suck the CO2 down to around 200 ppm. Outdoor studies have shown the same. Technology has even advanced to the point there is now a CO2 OPTIMIZER.
Growers tend to supplement CO2 in their greenhouse using a combination of educated guesswork and their talent and skill for growing crops. Adding CO2 is a matter of ‘feeling’, because it is simply not possible to measure the effectiveness of CO2. That is, until now. Ridder has, in partnership with Wageningen University, developed the CO2 Optimizer. This smart and helpful software module calculates the optimum level of CO2 in the greenhouse, enabling the grower to determine the most effective CO2 dose. The result: no more worrying about your CO2 strategy – it will always be on point for the best possible yields!
That device would certainly be useful in Ice Age greenhouses.
URANIUM AND NUCLEAR POWER
An obvious solution to the ‘cold, dry, windy ’ problem of an Ice Age is desalination. Israel put into large scale use the reverse osmosis technology developed in the USA in the early 60s. LINK 1 as well as water conservation methods in agriculture LINK 2-Israel agi.
Desalination was first developed in Israel in 1965, when Mekorot, Israel’s national water utility, established the first seawater desalination facility using vaporization technology in an effort to address the chronic thirst of the city of Eilat, located at the extreme southern tip of Israel on the Red Sea. A highly energy-intensive process, Mekorot looked for an alternative, energy-saving process, which it found in the reverse osmosis (RO) technology developed in the United States. In the early 1970s after the energy crisis of the Yom Kippur War, Mekorot began installing small-scale brackish water RO-desalination plants and, within the decade, established 15 desalination plants that supplied water to the Arava valley residents. Increasing demand and decreasing supply of freshwater in the coming years encouraged Mekorot to develop seawater desalination as an additional source, and the first plant (which desalinated a mixture of seawater and the reject brine from desalinated brackish water) commenced operation in 1997 in Eilat (Mekorot 2006). The motivation behind desalination of seawater in Israel stems from the fact that current demand and projected future demand cannot be met by natural freshwater sources alone – a disparity that results from population growth, overconsumption, misallocation, and pollution…
Nuclear desalination can be considered one of the most viable means of producing fresh water in arid areas. This publication addresses environmental concerns, and aims to improve understanding. It provides an overview of the nature and magnitude of the environmental impacts of nuclear desalination. In addition to detailing experimental data and the experience gained in operating nuclear desalination projects, it highlights risks perceived by the public. The publication encompasses environmental and socioeconomic information provided by specialized sources including some Member States with extensive experience in operating nuclear desalination systems. Addressing these concerns can be of critical importance for the effective use of nuclear desalination to its full potential….
The U.S. was among the first commercial adopters of nuclear energy in the 1950s, explaining the number of aging reactors today.A building boom between the 1960s and 1970s created today’s nuclear power plants in the United States. Of the five reactors completed in the 1990s and the one finished in 2016, all were holdovers of delayed construction projects from the 1970s experiencing roadblocks due to regulatory problems and mounting opposition to nuclear energy…
So despite nuclear energy being CO2 neutral and the southwest’s need for water, the USA has not approved new construction since the 1970s…. There is that critical 1970s decade again when everything changed.
Giving society cheap, abundant energy … would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.
Paul Ehrlich, “An Ecologist’s Perspective on Nuclear Power”, May/June 1978 issue of Federation of American Scientists Public Issue Report
Not only was the area in the USA/Canada/Russia/China moved south by 100 to 200 miles in the seventies, CO2 is very soluble in COLD WATER (van ‘t Hoff equation.) So as the earth cools CO2 gets sucked up by the oceans thereby lowering the amount of CO2 available for plants.
As ocean temperatures rise, the solubility of CO2 in seawater declines. Thus increasing ocean temperature moves CO2 from the ocean into the atmosphere, and decreasing ocean temperatures move CO2 out of the atmosphere and back into the ocean. As you can see in the graph below, a 10C shift in temperature causes about 30% reduction in dissolved CO2. Closely corresponding to what we see in the measured ice core graph above. — Tony Heller
Under stress seeds will not even start and the cut off is ~220 ppm CO2. The Climastrologists played games with the measurements of ice cores and came up with 150. AGAIN the chemistry is CO2 loves water so the air bubbles have less CO2 than the entire ice sample. Dr Zbigniew Jaworowski explains that dis-info campaign HERE.
Plant fossils obtained from sedimentary rocks and peat deposits are a relatively new tool being used to unravel Earth’s carbon dioxide (CO2) history. Tiny pores on plant leaves and needles called stomata regulate carbon dioxide absorption and water vapor release. Stomata numbers decrease during times of high atmospheric CO2, and increase when atmospheric CO2 is low….
The vast majority of land plants we rely on for human food and energy use the C3 pathway, which is the oldest of the pathways for carbon fixation, and it is found in plants of all taxonomies. Almost all extant nonhuman primates across all body sizes, including prosimians, new and old world monkeys, and all the apes—even those who live in regions with C4 and CAM plants—depend on C3 plants for sustenance….
The problem is the C3 pathway needs more water and CO2 than the C4 pathway and both were in short supply during the last Ice Age and are certainly not at optimum levels now as shown by the African desertification since the Holocene Optimum.
The Rancho La Brea tar pit fossil collection includes Juniperus (C3) wood specimens that 14C date between 7.7 and 55 thousand years (kyr) B.P., providing a constrained record of plant response for southern California during the last glacial period. Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) ranged between 180 and 220 ppm during glacial periods, rose to 280 ppm before the industrial period, and is currently approaching 380 ppm in the modern atmosphere. Here we report on [delta]13C of Juniperus wood cellulose, and show that glacial and modern trees were operating at similar leaf- intercellular [CO2](ci)/atmospheric [CO2](ca) values. As a result, glacial trees were operating at ci values much closer to the CO2-compensation point for C3 photosynthesis than modern trees, indicating that glacial trees were undergoing carbon starvation. In addition, we modeled relative humidity by using [delta]18O of cellulose from the same Juniperus specimens and found that glacial humidity was 10% higher than that in modern times, indicating that differences in vapor-pressure deficits did not impose additional constrictions on ci/ca in the past. By scaling ancient ci values to plant growth by using modern relationships, we found evidence that C3 primary productivity was greatly diminished in southern California during the last glacial period.
“…glacial humidity was 10% higher than that in modern times…” as the below maps show. This may indicate why the Cabal wants California and the US Southwest cleared of those pesky ‘Deplorables.’
At the most extreme stage of the last glaciation, most of Canada and much of the northern USA were covered by an ice sheet thousands of metres in thickness. Colder and often drier than present conditions predominated across most of the USA. The eastern deciduous and conifer forests were replaced by more open conifer woodlands with cooler-climate species of pines and a large component of spruce. The open spruce woodland and parkland extended somewhat further west than present, into what is now the prairie zone. As a result of aridity and lowering of sea level (which lowered inland water tables), much of Florida was covered by drifting sand dunes. Notably moister than present conditions occurred across much of the south-west, with open conifer woodlands and scrub common in areas that are now semi-desert.
The decline of atmospheric CO2 over the last 65 million years (Ma) resulted in the ‘CO2-starvation’ of terrestrial ecosystems and led to the widespread distribution of C4 plants, which are less sensitive to CO2 levels than are C3 plants. Global expansion of C4 biomass is recorded in the diets of mammals from Asia, Africa, North America, and South America during the interval from about 8 to 5 Ma. This was accompanied by the most significant Cenozoic faunal turnover on each of these continents, indicating that ecological changes at this time were an important factor in mammalian extinction. Further expansion of tropical C4 biomass in Africa also occurred during the last glacial interval confirming the link between atmospheric CO2 levels and C4 biomass response. Changes in fauna and flora at the end of the Miocene, and between the last glacial and interglacial, have previously been attributed to changes in aridity; however, an alternative explanation for a global expansion of C4 biomass is CO2 starvation of C3 plants when atmospheric CO2 levels dropped below a threshold significant to C3 plants. Aridity may also have been a factor in the expansion of C4 ecosystems but one that was secondary to, and perhaps because of, gradually decreasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Mammalian evolution in the late Neogene, then, may be related to the CO2 starvation of C3 ecosystems.
Lower CO2 levels PLUS lower moisture with a COLD boot from glaciation did lead to the evolution of C4 and CAM plants which use a different but more energy expensive chemical pathway to conserve water.

…Changes in fauna and flora at the end of the Miocene, and between the last glacial and interglacial, have previously been attributed to changes in aridity; however, an alternative explanation for a global expansion of C4 biomass is carbon dioxide starvation of C3 plants when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below a threshold significant to C3 plants. Aridity may also have been a factor in the expansion of C4 ecosystems but one that was secondary to, and perhaps because of, gradually decreasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere.Mammalian evolution in the late Neogene, then, may be related to the carbon dioxide starvation of C3 ecosystems.
C4 photosynthesis is a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications that concentrate CO2 around the carboxylating enzyme Rubisco, thereby increasing photo-synthetic efficiency in conditions promoting high rates of photo-respiration. The C4 pathway independently evolved over 45 times in 19 families of angiosperms, and thus represents one of the most convergent of evolutionary phenomena. Most origins of C4 photosynthesis occurred in the dicots, with at least 30 lineages. C4 photosynthesis first arose in grasses, probably during the Oligocene epoch (24–35 million yr ago). The earliest C4 dicots are likely members of the Chenopodiaceae dating back 15–21 million yr; however, most C4 dicot lineages are estimated to have appeared relatively recently, perhaps less than 5 million yr ago. C4 photosynthesis in the dicots originated in arid regions of low latitude, implicating combined effects of heat, drought and/or salinity as important conditions promoting C4 evolution. Low atmospheric CO2 is a significant contributing factor, because it is required for high rates of photorespiration. Consistently, the appearance of C4 plants in the evolutionary record coincides with periods of increasing global aridification and declining atmospheric CO2. Gene duplication followed by neo- and nonfunctionalization are the leading mechanisms for creating C4 genomes, with selection for carbon conservation traits under conditions promoting high photo respiration being the ultimate factor behind the origin of C4 photosynthesis.
Speaking of plants, while scientists will lie to keep the grant money coming, plants do not.
Gail, put this in your bookmarks…….they found the cut off was 220 ppm….not 200 I don’t know where people got the idea that it’s 150 and keep repeating that….220 stops them
What is interesting is ALL the archived versions of this June 2010 paper prior to September 28, 2019 have been scrubbed…
Side note on ‘disappearing’ info: Climate Alarmism Central actually does exist. It is part of the Aspen Global Change Institute. I will be getting into that mess in my next article.
…Such studies have shown that the average biomass production of modern C3 plants is reduced by c. 50% when grown at low (180–220 ppm) vs modern (350–380 ppm) [CO2], when other conditions are optimal (Sage & Coleman, 2001; Fig. 5). There is, however, variation in this response among C3 species (Fig. 5), as well as within C3 species, whereby reductions in biomass may vary by 40–70% among genotypes (Ward & Strain, 1997; Hovenden & Schimanski, 2000; Mohan et al., 2004). In addition, as [CO2] declines to 150 ppm, biomass production may be reduced by as much as 92%, as was observed in A. theophrasti (Dippery et al., 1995; Figs 2, 5)….
Notice the LIE by omission? They are talking BIOMASS and not how well the plants do from seed germination to producing the seeds for the next generation during a growing season.. Under stress the seeds will not even start to grow.
The biology of seeds can be divided in three important phases: development that includes zygotic embryogenesis, dormancy that prevents seeds from germinating under unfavorable conditions and germination (seed emergence). The transition between dormancy and germination represents a critical stage in the life cycle of higher plants and it is an important ecological and commercial trait. Seed germination is regulated by endogenous hormonal cues and external environmental signals such as water, low temperature and light, which influence whether an imbibed seed completes germination or remains dormant. Seed dormancy, a temporary quiescent state that is observed in seeds from many plants species, prevents untimely germination and ensures plant survival by adjusting vegetative development to seasonal changes in the environment. A dynamic balance between synthesis and catabolism of the abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs) controls the equilibrium between dormancy and germination. At the molecular level, the ABA/GA balance is in part determined by the antagonistic control of ABA and GA on each other through their reciprocal regulation of the transcription of their metabolic genes.
The ABA, derived from epoxycarotenoid cleavage, serves as a plant-specific signal during development and in response to environmental stresses such as cold, drought and high concentrations of salt in the soil. The ABA also elicits, among others numerous physiological functions, the closure of stomatal pores to restrict transpiration, adjustment of metabolism to tolerate desiccation and cold temperatures, and inhibition seedlings growth. Likewise, ABA represses germination and is presumed to function to stabilize the dormant state. ABA, like other hormones, functions through a complex network of signaling pathways where the cell response is initiated by ABA perception which triggers downstream signaling cascades to induce the final physiological effects….
Even C4 plants do better in higher CO2 atmospheres.
…In summary, it is clear that C4 plants do indeed respond positively to increases in the air’s CO2 concentration by exhibiting reduced stomatal conductances and transpirational water losses, which contribute to increases in water-use efficiency. Hence, knowledgeable researchers are suggesting that the long-held view that C4 plants will not be benefited by elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 needs to be replaced with this more correct assessment (Wand et al., 1999; Zhu et al., 1999). Clearly, as the atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, most C4 plants will almost certainly display increases in water-use efficiency, which should allow them to better deal with conditions of water stress. Consequently, this phenomenon should allow plants of the future to expand their ranges into areas where they currently cannot survive due to limited soil moisture availability, thereby contributing to a great “greening of the globe.”
There is another more subtle aspect to the CO2 starvation level and that is the change in partial pressure as the elevation above sea level increases.
…. Carbon limitation due to lower ambient CO2 partial pressures had a significant impact on the distribution of forest on the tropical mountains, in addition to climate. Hence, tree line elevation should not be used to infer palaeotemperatures….
Estimates of glacial-interglacial climate change in tropical Africa have varied widely. Results from a process-based vegetation model show how montane vegetation in East Africa shifts with changes in both carbon dioxide concentration and climate. For the last glacial maximum, the change in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration alone could explain the observed replacement of tropical montane forest by a scrub biome. This result implies that estimates of the last glacial maximum tropical cooling based on tree- line shifts must be revised.”
…While [CO2] does not vary with elevation, CO2 partial pressure decreases in proportion to total atmospheric pressure. Under modern conditions, partial pressures of CO2 at high-elevation sites are 10–30% lower than at low-elevation sites, producing an even more conservative comparison between glacial and modern conditions….
That means if the CO2 level is around 210 ppm you can kiss trees and other C3 plants growing above sea level goodby and that is most of the earth.
…According to Barnola et al (1987) the level of CO2 in the global atmosphere during many tens of thousands of years spanning 30,000 to110,000 BP were below 200ppm. If this were true then the growth of C3 plants should be limited at the global scale because their net Photosynthesis is depressed as CO2 concentration in air decreases to less than about 250ubar (less than about 250ppmv)(McKay et al 1991) This would lead to the extinction of C3 plant species . This has however not been recorded by paleobotanists (Manum 1991).”

Again, plants do not lie but the scientists owned by the Cabal do.
Since I have mentioned Köppen several times and I remember this information but not who said it, I feel it only fair to post E.M. Smith’s (ChiefIO‘s) comment:
From “Ice Age” by John and Mary Gribbin (a wonderful read, gives the richness of the characters in the discovery of the ice ages, the history of the process, and a gentle introduction to some of the science involved.):
Pg.53: […]the single most important thing to emerge from these discussions was Koppen’s realization of the key season in the Ice Age saga. Adhemar and Croll had thought that the decisive factor in encouraging Ice to spread across the Northern Hemisphere must be the occurrence of extremely cold winters, resulting in increased snowfall. At first, Milankovitch had shared this view. But it was Koppen who pointed out that it is always cold enough for snow to fall in the Arctic winter, even today, and that the reason that the Northern Hemisphere is not in the grip of a full Ice Age is because the ‘extra’ snow melts away again in the summer.
[EMS: Note that the Southern Hemisphere is similarly irrelevant to the ice age cycle since it is always cold enough for snow to stay frozen. It just doesn’t change enough to matter.]
Pg 54: He reasoned that the way to encourage the ice to spread would be to have a reduction in summer warmth, because then less of the winter snowfall would melt. If less snow melted in summer than fell in winter, the ice sheets would grow – and once they had started to grow, the feedback effect of the way the ice and snow reflect away incoming solar energy would enhance the process.
Pg 57: It isn’t so much that Ice Ages occur when the astronomical influences conspire to produce particularly cool summers, rather what matters is that Interglacials only occur when the astronomical influences conspire to produce unusually warm summers, encouraging the ice to retreat. Without all three of the astronomical rhythms working in step this way, the Earth stays in a deep freeze.
End Quote.
So, to summarize:
1) The south pole doesn’t matter to the process, it’s always frozen.
2) We are normally in a long ice age and only pop out for short intervals when conditions are just right.
3) The ‘just right’ is Northern Hemisphere summers warm enough to melt the snow and ice.
4) Warm enough is when the N. hemisphere: must be pointed at the sun in summer when: at close approach to the sun with the right elliptical shape, with the pole tilted over far enough, with… or we freeze.
I would add a note that I think it is particularly illuminating that we are near the end of an Interglacial (next stop is an ice age), the only thing that keeps it away is the summer Arctic ice and snow melt. So what is the AGW crowd in histrionics about? That the Arctic ice and snow are not sticking through the summer… Think about….
Right now Earth is nearest the sun during northern winters, farthest from the sun during northern summers. If E.M. Smith’s theory is correct, we’re headed for another ice age in the near future. This shift is called the precession of the equinoxes and has a period of 26,000 years. In only 12,000 years the perihelion will be in July. The summer solstice, 21 June @ 65◦ N is what most scientist use for measuring the critical solar insolation.
“As of 2014 the Holocene is exactly 11,717 years old (based on the end of the Younger Dryas cold interval). Or pretty much about half a precession cycle.” — William McClenney
Now, in 2023 it is 11726 years and we just went through the warm bump before the dive into the cold….
The following is just one person’s observations and opinion – this guy. You would not believe the number of rewrites this has taken on. However, with this we begin the disclosure of why many of my BIMD stories are titled “Civilized War”. From this point on, generally, the stories may be a little longer, but only be posted about once per month. There will still be Heads Up posts occasionally.
The New American Frontier
Fedsurrection a/k/a The Buffalo Jump, or if you prefer, the jumping the shark moment in time; is the perfect symbol of the ongoing intentional collapsing of American culture. It is another in a very long list of manufactured events to intentionally sell the impression that resistance to those in control will be futile. The long planned and implemented events and activities have been increasing in frequency for 150+ years. Simply put, they hate MAGA and love of country.
Fedsurrection is a blatant example of the more recent battles within the Civilized War.
We have all learned that many of the people who currently control our nation do so in collusion with one another and are represented by a globalist operated uniparty that has international connections, obligations and goals. That group’s control has been ascribed to the Committee of 300, the City of London, the Illuminati, Freemasonry, etc. Regardless, there is no question they all use rhetoric to appease while not providing desired results for We The People, whom they actually abhor. Year after year, fake election after fake election, they fail to meet our expectations while satisfying their own desires first and foremost. If they walk into office on fire for America, they frequently give in to the pressure and become useless to average Americans.
As MAGA supporters you know truth now. As an example you know Fedsurrection has been openly revealed as just another scam, a hoax, bullshiz. Our opposition proved once again they do not care at all about the citizens of this nation and have weaponized nearly all areas of government. They openly declared war on We The People who objected then and now since many of us do not cower down or believe the lies that have been told. In the process they created panic, incited, roughed up, murdered, harassed and arrested; all while lying with straight faces to the cameras of their complicit media comrades as well as corrupt judges. Congress played their parts. Law enforcement and the judiciary performed their scripted roles then and now to facilitate… The Big Lie.
MAGA knows it is just cover for the stolen elections. Criminals doing what criminals do.
They use the same game plan within many other segments of society, industries, media, religions, etc. Controlled demolition and implosion – intentionally – to undermine the foundation of our country and its people. Anybody want a Bud Light? A planned takedown of an American icon significantly impacting the shareholders of the parent company as well as consumers. Does MAGA shop at Targay any more? Nope. Do you trust your kids to run around unattended at a Disney park or watch their latest movie release without at least screening it first? Not a chance. For sports lovers; do you enjoy Sports Center as much as you once did with the endless daily lectures about social justice and what you should think and how you should act? Get out of here with that. How about when it comes from the pulpit of the church you have attended for years when you hear that Jesus accepted something nasty or was this or that, yet, you see no evidence of it in scripture? Do you get tired of reviewing your children’s school text content, library books, and homework assignments for woke crap while addressing teaching methods that dumb down your kids? Always.
It is not just stupidity or misguided – it is intentional. As a result you now have zero reasons to trust anything that American leadership within the Uniparty of Dems, Establishment GOP and RINOs does or says. Even some MAGA appearing or claiming politicians are actually deep state Uniparty plants who undermine the rights of We The People. Their collective goals are power and plunder of America as well as the world. To receive their share of the spoils they have to do the dirty against all of us. And boy, do they ever receive the benefits. Some walk into office with nothing. When they exit they are multi-millionaires.
You now know with certainty where members of Congress, state legislatures, local governments, governors, appointees, alphabets, media, foreign press, churches, schools, businesses, friends, neighbors, and especially your family members stand. Their responses and non-responses to Mueller, Ukraine, stolen elections, trannies, abortion, pedophilia, sex trafficking, Epstein, Fedsurrection, COVID, jabs, Briben, Soetoro, the Clintons, the Bushes, Gates, Fauci, Barr, etc. tell you who people are, what they actually believe, and what they think of you and your beliefs. You have these and many other litmus test results right in front of you.
One brief example jumps out at me from my career – Quantitative Easing by the Fed. There may have never been a person, business, or nation that has worked their way out of debt by deeply diving into massive amounts of more debt. Yet, the Uniparty, globalists, fake financial gurus, Wall Street, and so on sold that as the answer to the debt markets collapse of 2008. Proverbs 22:7 –The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender. (NASB) As a result of your acceptance of their lies, American citizens, you are now a slave to the debt holders (lenders). They told you that your government would collapse, your jobs would die, your 401-k’s would dry up, there would be no Social Security, etc. to fear porn you into submission. It was lies and damn lies. Then the criminals took their usual way back to solvency through endless wars by wasting the blood of humanity for their gain.
Intentional, part of the plan.
However, now, light has been shone on all of it and if your eyes are open truth is revealed. Anybody that believes or supports the actions taken by these traitors, seditionists, perverts, deep state actors, media propagandists, etc. – the corrupters of minds, bodies and souls; have become part of the same pot of evil. No longer is there any neutral ground to hold; you are either full bore MAGA or you are an opponent of America and its patriotic, God fearing citizens.
I am asking some of you to suspend any predetermined disbelief of the following connections and parallels for the time being. Just roll with it. You can erase it from your memories later if so inclined.
Resistance Begins When…
Everything comes into focus when we acknowledge God as the sole authority over His creation. Following the path that leads to Him is the only way to peace and security. He made it all, He will break it or fix it in accordance with His desires. He is the great I AM. He is sovereign.
Past proves present reveals future. So let’s start with the past.
In I Corinthians 9:22, Paul states, “To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some.” (NASB)
In my opinion this is one major MAGA supporting answer to all this mess. Paul says “save some” in his statement. We need to acknowledge that we cannot save the world, we may not even be able to save America or even some people we care deeply about near to us. That is not our job anyway, that is the role of our Creator. However, when we work to help others where we are we can help in the Civilized War to save some. We can help increase the numbers of the remnant that survives and even thrives until Christ returns.
Go back to the times of Jesus on this planet. He knew everything that was happening. He knew innocent people were being used, abused and murdered all around him. Even with that foreknowledge and full authority granted by the Father, he did not stop it. He focused on His assigned mission. So should we.
In my opinion, this approach toward mankind may be because death in this world is not the end. Life continues on past physical death here.
Whatever the reason, in doing work for the Kingdom we use the direction Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew 10:14, “And whoever does not receive you nor listen to your words, as you leave that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.”(NASB) This action was also taken by Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13:51 in their missionary journey.
So what does this mean for us now and how is applied today?
We need to do what Jesus told his disciples to do in Matt.28:19. Summarized – go and tell others about His sacrifice, love for them, what it means to be a follower – make disciples. Notice what He did not say. He did not want his disciples to just preach salvation messages and move on or He would have said that. He wanted them to make disciples. We can believe Jesus to be the Savior without taking it any farther in our daily living. The instruction from Him means going deeper and being more committed in understanding and living the faith daily. Then go and deliver same to others.
As to America, we know the truth about many things in our country within the MAGA movement. Our role as MAGA participants is to make more disciples for MAGA, just like Jesus instructed His followers. We first need to rebuild trust. For it to happen the way it could and should, the words and practices of Jesus should be integrated through the Holy Spirit that He left for us, who exists to bring glory to Father and Son. The words and actions of Jesus deliver His truth and are the sources of power. Again, our nation was founded on belief in God, His provision and His principles. The vast majority of our forefathers knew and acted on these truths under extreme stress and threats. Know the history of our nation.
To succeed in the discipling for MAGA, we must be in sync with the discipling for Jesus. They are interconnected. God did not send His Son to die for us and conquer death to just allow His creation to fall back into evil and death. We have not immersed ourselves into MAGA to retreat from the fight.
That we have not been in sync with this is why everything seems so out of whack, so bizarre at times. A world of opposites that makes no rational, much less Biblical sense. We are not being as effective as we could be if we chose to center our efforts around what Christ taught and do MAGA His way. We move beyond PDT and any dependence on worldly leaders in this approach.
Doing so will not guarantee positive outcomes for all people. Despite our best efforts, sometimes no amount of education and encouragement of a targeted audience will produce the desired results for Jesus or for America. However, our faithfulness provides the best opportunity for success in the primary mission, which is interconnected. Taking action proves us faithful to our Lord and His will, which provides great benefit to America and the world.
Which leads to the Parable of the Sower found in three of the gospels, during which Jesus explains its connection to the fulfillment of a prophecy in Isaiah. I enjoy the version in Matthew, which is found in 13:1-23. But to cut to the chase, we desire the seed to be planted into good soil that allows the roots to grow deep and eventually produces an abundant yield when tended well by the sowers.
Our love and caring for a desired outcome and “winning” can cloud the mission that Jesus assigns us. The truth is some people are doomed by their own choices, others are in danger, and still others may accept our guidance and turn toward the desired outcome. Our acceptance of whatever outcome results is key. Despite my joy, concern, or even sorrow for the results; it does not change the mission Christ gave me through His Holy Word to deliver the message and try to save some. We see similar results when spreading the truth of MAGA.
A Real World Example
I left the United Methodist Church (UMC) denomination eight years ago after saying what the Lord placed on my heart and planting seeds with local, district and conference UMC leadership and fellow members for many years. I spoke and wrote the applicable words of scripture to them and relayed the message the Lord desired of me that explicitly explained that many were choosing culture and politics over scripture and their first love, Jesus. I was one voice of millions who spoke before, during and after the deep split that was finalized in 2022; a Civilized War that had been waged for over 50 years.
I was active in leadership roles starting in local congregations since 1979. A close friend and best man at my wedding to Rock Star was a district lay minister in the denomination. He was a UMC General Conference delegate (Congressional voting member equivalent) for 16 years until his back pain from a previous injury became so bad he had to reduce his travel. He was a close friend while sharing common beliefs at the UMC General Conference meetings with a close family member of Rush Limbaugh, whose family was from the neighboring city of Cape Girardeau, MO. Although I personally never met Rush, through my friend I knew about him and even his personal “issues” going back over 40 years. He got over and through most of them just like many of us. 🤣 He knew what he knew because he grew up in the middle of a family very involved in education, law/judiciary, and politics for about two centuries.
For what it is worth, I was asked by our Conference leadership to accept a similar role as my friend about 20 years ago for our region. I declined because I had learned too much about the denomination and was in a very busy period of my career.
The UMC leadership was never willing or possibly able to lead the flock back to their first love, Jesus, the reason for their existence as a Christian faith based denomination at all. Their antiquated organizational structure assisted the internal fracture. The buck never stopped anywhere. Bishops would routinely ignore the rulings of the UMC Judicial Council, which were supposed to be final. The rulings also began to detour away from the established practices and core beliefs. Through the years the doctrinal language in The Book of Discipline was under a constant state of attack and became watered down into meaningless gibberish. As a result apostasy became the doctrinal norm, which did the work of Satan. Some of the leaders would take time about openly violating the rules and pushing the boundaries. (Sound familiar?)
As our time to leave drew near, I sat across the desk from our relatively young senior pastor who later became a District Superintendent over 100+ churches/pastors. I asked him this question, “If a situation was present in the church such that the resolution led to a conflict between what scriptures say versus the UMC Book of Discipline and your bosses, which would you choose to follow?” The answer – his bosses and The Book of Discipline would dictate. I asked him why. He said because he believed his bosses and The Book of Discipline were selected and assembled by people who had been called by God into the positions they held. He trusted their wisdom and decision making. To me, he revealed he was a loyal box checker with precious little dedication to The Word. His answer indicated his position in the organization meant more than the souls and condition of the people he shepherded.
I thanked him for his time and left. The next time I met with him, a few weeks later, was to tell him our family was leaving the local congregation and UMC, a denomination I had personally been a member of for forty years, thirty of which were in that congregation. It sent mini-shock waves throughout the congregation as well as within Conference leadership. We remain friends with many, some of which who subsequently left in the years that followed. We shook the dust from our feet. I am sure that pastor, now district superintendent, was glad to see me go.
The man is a lifelong UMC member whose father and father-in-law were also senior pastors in the UMC before retirement. He chose his bosses, family tradition and a watered down denominational doctrine manual to keep his position, a future promotion, increased income and pension over scripture and the instructions of Jesus. His bosses had already proven they were apostate by accepting self avowed homosexuals and abortion rights advocates as pastors in direct conflict with the UMC Book of Discipline and even more so the Bible. These people were also teaching other false doctrines in opposition to their own doctrine. Finally, a large international group of Bible believers had enough of trying to educate and reconcile. They did not have the votes to remove the apostate because of a large third segment of delegates who wanted things to stay the same. So the faithful left. They shook the dust…
The ongoing existence of the UMC denomination organizationally as it continued to slowly disintegrate was for one primary purpose; to protect the pensions of the employees. It is an ecumenical denomination that owns all of the properties. Major decisions were made in the hierarchy based on that condition continuing to benefit them. Leadership that I discussed issues with through the years were truthful about the subject and confidentially told me that was the case.
The leadership was about control of the dirt and draining the coffers of the local congregations while appeasing as many factions of the membership as necessary to keep the money flowing. They made it obvious – just like the Uniparty and globalists are doing in America today.
It’s just business – right?
Comparison Time – Parallels
If we compare the UMC’s trends and situation it would nearly mirror our nation’s.
Due to the recent split, the UMC is already brain and heart dead, just on life support to drain whatever blood (money) is left out of its woke corpse. The UMC name has been retained by the Democrat Party, Establishment and RINO equivalents. The local churches that comprise this remnant are a diverse group. One faction are traditionalists who could not or would not afford to pay the exit fee to acquire control of their local church and its properties. Another group are straight out perverts, leftists and communists. Then there are those who pretend to be traditional in belief who are actually lukewarm or worse. The Word has much to say about all of these.
The MAGA equivalents have left (shook the dust from their feet) or are formally in the process of leaving. They formed their own organization that adheres to the Holy Bible (Constitution/Bill of Rights) as written. They have not established a Judicial Council (Supreme Court) yet, but plan to do so and correct the flaws of the UMC version. There is a 17 (yup!) member interim Board controlling the organization temporarily. They believe in limited central government, like our nation’s Constitution provides. They are now called the Global Methodist Church (GMC) and are in the process of correcting many of the system and administrative failures that plagued the former denomination for decades. They are committed to doing the will of the Savior and proved it with their decisions and pocketbooks.
Now here is the part that is left unsaid much of the time. The apostate side should have been compelled to leave the UMC all along as they were violating scripture and the provisions in the existing Book of Discipline. The authorities in the church did not make faithful decisions and take decisive actions to retain the law of the land or the spirit. The voting delegates in General Conferences allowed a divided house to exist that splintered the votes, some joined in with third parties to intentionally split the vote, just like has happened in America. They appeased and slowly enabled over time, just like the Establishment and RINO factions within the GOP. Leadership went along with and encouraged it willingly to preserve their cushy jobs, investment “opportunities” and pensions.
Infiltration versus invasion. The modern day versions of the Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes being played out openly in the UMC and within the federal government of America.
Over the past 15 months or so, over 7000 former UMC churches worldwide have paid or are in the process of paying the large exit fees to leave along with many faithful pastors and employees. The UMC pension vested pastors and employees will use the new GMC pension plan, but may need years of service to vest again. Some were not yet vested in the UMC plan and simply have agreed to start over. To all of them the potential personal financial loss was worth it to be faithful to the Lord. The new denomination has established replacement benefit plans for all employees that each congregation pays to maintain with no upstream tack on charges for administration. Each local church congregation owns its respective church property, which demonstrates the motivation of this new GMC organizatio is not to build a brand, acquire wealth, or build a bloated bureaucracy to control the flock and drain the coffers like the existing UMC.
This is a demonstration of what has happened to the federal government in America. In comparison it is now the UMC version when the founding fathers and documents were designed for the GMC version. As Steve says, “limited” government.
The traditionalists who remain in the UMC are currently operating their churches in accordance with their understanding of scripture, which is reflected by the diluted, ineffective Book of Discipline. In the parallel, the equivalent in America would be the so called “battleground” GOP states. These Establishment dominated states and traditional UMC congregations are both also deluding themselves into believing all will be well; that they can exist in harmony with political liberals and thousands of apostate churches. In reality, they are both on slowly sinking ships just biding time. The founding documents are “living” documents to them, which means the goalposts keep moving through reactions to Judicial Committee and Supreme Court decisions. Neither the Constitution or the Bible change meanings of what has been stated. They say what they say, they mean what they mean. A Supreme Court decision in conflict with the Constitution is still illegal, even if a rogue government enforces it as totalitarians do. The same applies with the Bible and apostate interpretations by church authorities.
Some are hoping their congregations can save enough to pay the exit fee in future years. However, over time many members will leave as they realize the truth or lose their interest in Christianity altogether. Their churches will also be targets of the apostate, just like urban centers in America are for the communists. This will cause those local churches to slowly die as many blue cities are doing. But hey, those employed by the UMC and blue governments will still get to add time and money to their pensions while raking in good incomes.
Now it is time to discuss the future.
In spring of 2024, the communist and pervert side of the UMC plans to call for approval of a measure that enforces support for homosexuals in the pulpits, homosexual marriages, abortion rights, etc. Now that the GMC churches have left and many traditionalist members no longer attend UMC churches, it is highly likely they will win that vote and assume control.
It will become decision time for the remaining heads in the sand traditionalists in the UMC. Go along with apostasy, pay the exit fee to keep the local congregation together and join the GMC, or individually leave the congregation and do something else.
It works the same way in DC with the deep state, Congress and our country’s judicial system. They are trying to force MAGA to accept what will always be unacceptable. A day of reckoning is coming – all Americans will choose a side. Many Americans have no understanding of what is happening. They are like the UMC traditionalists. MAGA citizens do, they are the GMCs in the example. But everybody will be compelled to decide. A non-decision is still a decision. There is no escape other than leaving the country, which is also a self-identifying decision.
So, what is happening with local church memberships since the split? Generally, the Globalist Methodists have grown dramatically as they adhere to scripture and the teachings of the Methodist denomination’s founder, John Wesley, which is deeply scriptural. The remnant UMC is losing members and interest. They executed a takeover of a name to get access to cash, property and an income stream that they will use for evil purposes. Once the subject of their takeover dies, they will trash it and move on.
The same already applies to MAGA versus the criminal side of America. The crims take over iconic companies, industries, media, etc. They then use them, rape them of assets, trash them and move on. That is what they are doing to nations of the world and America as well. You know who is of Satan and who is of God by their words and actions relating to same.
Our Creator knew that it all would happen and provided the remedy. Throughout Biblical history, the faithful remnant who were not apostate persevered, returned or remained devoted to their first love, and were restored to God’s grace. They became as a new seed that took root in good soil as stated in The Parable of the Sower. These believers knew those who denied the authority of God and His Word had already condemned themselves to their eventual fate if they did not confess their sins and repent.
In my opinion so shall it be with America subject to the absolute rule and actions of the Creator. The split has already occurred. There is a large group of Americans who are MAGA to the bone and will never go back to Egypt and lives of slavery. We will resist and honor our first love regardless of what is thrown at us. Most of us as citizens have no governing enforcement authority, just like the general membership of the UMC pre-split. Our direct impact is limited to our message, votes for representation, our usage of money and our feet for walking toward or away (shaking the dust). As a result our roles are simply to spread the message of MAGA and live in complete support of Constitutional authority and America First. We will do what we can where we are in hopes that we can save some knowing we are doing the will of the Lord as well as honoring our nation’s founding and its Godly principles. The first and second amendments still apply.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
You do not need the Supreme Court to interpret this. It is what it is and means what it says. We are a free people based on our ruling Constitution. We The People win, opponents lose. Challenge anything and everything in opposition, just do it legally and in accordance with God’s Word.
II Timothy 4:1-4 applies God’s Kingdom as well as MAGA efforts to living in America.
“I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
We have reached that point in time.
Conclusion
We will be discussing more about challenging as time goes on. For now, practically, you fight back for America where you are by participating in the election mechanism in your area; by opening your mouths and taking legal actions against all who violate or support criminal activities in opposition to Constitutionally supported laws just as you should in your church with scripture. You contribute by not giving your money to anti-American people, entities and purposes. You participate best by helping America return to its founding and Godly principles through prayer, applying Biblical principles to your personal life, living with integrity and helping others to do the same.
You fight back with something the death merchants and corrupters of souls know nothing about – love. Love is not a wimp. Love is a joyous warrior. Love involves purpose and goes to work. Love slays hate. Love does not give in to those who would maim, kill and steal. Love protects and shields from evil entering the heart and actions of man. Love acts in accordance with God’s commandments and principles to protect the innocent and weak.
I John 4:7-12 states, “Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.
God is love. Our intent is to act within scriptural boundaries and the law of the land with love. Love always wins.
I have decided to be short, blunt, and to the point.
Here it is, very simply.
I was part of the cover-up of the early failure of Affirmative Action.
And when I say EARLY, I mean it failed during the alleged TESTING – meaning the very first year they put AA students on campus, which was supposed to be a test, but was really an unstoppable, unchangeable, unarguable implementation, that was going to happen, no matter what.
Let me be crystal clear.
Affirmative Action failed RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE.
I was there, and was an integral part of the disaster and the cover-up. And, quite frankly, I’m lucky I’m still alive. But I learned to keep my mouth shut for a very long time, and how to stay ahead of the people who needed me “gone” in some legal, plausible, and useful fashion.
Here is a bullet list of what happened. It’s long, but it gets the point across quickly, how the failure of Affirmative Action became known, and was then covered up.
I was working on an advanced science degree at a very fancy university
The university was informed that we would be getting Affirmative Action students
There were only a few of these students
This was supposed to be some kind of test, but it really was more of a “done deal”
I was warned by a friendly superior to steer clear of these students, and I did, but I didn’t realize why
One AA student in my professor’s class was caught cheating
I got the scoop from the teacher involved – the cheating was stupid and desperate – it was almost a cry for help
The student was clearly out of their depth
The failure was likely to mean the student would fail the course
AT THIS POINT, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION WAS IN TROUBLE – if this was really a “test”
It was obvious to me that Affirmative Action would require a “fix” to actually work
I was an idiot and thought I could help Affirmative Action work
I suggested the idea of a remedial program, which had worked for unprepared math students at my previous university
That was it – I just mentioned this to the professor
TIME GOES BY – we hear nothing
The next thing I know, this same student was placed into our research laboratory, as an undergraduate researcher, by orders from the university
This was absolutely insane, dangerous, and utterly backwards to all common sense – only the BEST students are normally allowed into undergrad research in any university
The professor could not stop this – it came from too high up the chain
As one might predict, there was a DISASTER involving this student.
The disaster resulted in a lawsuit
The next five parts are very important – it’s about LAWFARE
(1) The lawsuit conveniently prevented the university from reporting anything about the student to the government, due to “conflict of interest”
(2) The lawsuit therefore prevented the university from reporting anything bad for Affirmative Action
(3) The lawsuit prevented the university from taking any public position regarding Affirmative Action
(4) The lawsuit created leverage on everybody involved, to hide what happened
(5) The lawsuit resulted in NDAs on everybody involved, to silence them on what happened
Bottom line, the “forced disaster” protected the truth about Affirmative Action from ever being known
However, that’s just the superficial, top-level view.
I was close enough on this sucker, and paying enough attention, that I realized things were EVEN WORSE THAN THAT.
This disaster didn’t just happen because putting a deficient student in a dangerous place is a dangerous idea.
SOMEBODY MADE SURE THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
Yes. This was a scam – an engineered accident. And the technology used to pull it off was astounding. So much so, that it was unbelievable, and I had to hide it. I simply could not testify to something that people could not believe.
For a long time I thought that the money of the lawsuit was the driving force behind SOMEBODY deciding to use cutting-edge technology, but the economics just were not there. Nope – it was the millions, and then billions, and eventually TRILLIONS of dollars at stake.
Once I realized that this was really a deep-state thing for billions and trillions of dollars, and not just a lawsuit for measly low millions, it all started making sense.
Now, I don’t want to get any deeper into how they pulled this off, than what I’ve already revealed, because I like keeping a few nukes handy, in case somebody wants to make this into a big deal. They want to go there, I can REALLY make this a big deal.
If you want to know more details than that, just read this earlier post I wrote about the topic.
This post is rather long, and it ultimately leads to VALIDATE what Q said about MK. And beyond. WAY beyond. I’m choosing to spill enough now that no matter what happens, or what happens to me, they will no longer be able to keep using MK for murders and getting away clean. People will SPOT …
Now, let me be clear – I’m not saying that all Affirmative Action students can’t handle the rigor of the universities they are pumped into, over more qualified students. But we are lying to ourselves to think that there is no downside to lowering standards of admission. I encountered that downside in the very first Affirmative Action student to come through our department’s classes.
An interesting debate on the topic is this one, which involves Michelle Obama. She was, if I’m dating things properly, admitted in the second year of Affirmative Action.
As a fellow Princeton student at the time Michelle Robinson was there, I have to make a few comments. Her claim that she was one of the "few" Black students is ridiculous. Affirmative action was in full force, and the Third World Center was a popular campus destination for… https://t.co/Zc2Zd0e8Cl
In my opinion, both sides arguing in the linked article are “right and wrong” about things. There were definitely VERY FEW Affirmative Action students in the first year, and not that many in the second year, if I remember things correctly. Bear in mind – not all black students were Affirmative Action cases. Eventually, though, the effect on the student population was very noticeable. The timing, IMO, isn’t all that important.
Nevertheless, I would not be surprised if Michelle Obama really felt isolated on campus, despite likely being among perhaps a few hundred other AA-admitted students.
But much of what the rabbi is saying is quite right. Students who are not qualified to enter these schools were being prioritized over students who were qualified, due to race, and it was eventually a very big deal, that caused a LOT of problems.
So what’s the point, in the end? We know the Deep State does what it wants. They make their money in the name of some good thing that they inevitably lie about and FAKE.
The Deep State can and will roll over anybody that they need to roll over. We’ve seen what they did to Trump.
But yet, all that is not what matters.
Thanks to all this stuff, I found God. I mean, not like I did when I was a kid. I mean deeply, and in a big way, and as an adult.
It’s DIFFERENT when you walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and you LEARN the hard way that GOD is your only real ally. And it’s not just magic, or the belief in magic, but the reality of how one deals with the universe, and how the universe deals back. God is a very “complex” thing, with both “real” and “imaginary” components. I am grateful for ending up with the understanding that I eventually got.
I lost a lot of things IN THIS WORLD, but in many ways that was purifying. I was stripped of much corruption and my worldly idols, and was left with GOD and the best teacher of all, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the carpenter who dared to speak truth in a world of lies.
Affirmative Action was a noble cause, for those who believed in its truth, just as the response to 9/11 was a noble cause, for those who believed in its truth.
The problem is, neither one was completely true. Affirmative Action was never meant to be a logical reality. It was Hollywood. It was a story. It was Potemkin. It was fake. It was a societal version of “fake it until you make it”. They had no intention of doing it right.
I still believe in the “ends” of Affirmative Action – that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream can and will be achieved. But that end will NOT be achieved through these means – through deception and lies. It can only be achieved through truths. Sometimes those truths will be painful. Sometimes they will be joyous. But in the end, they will be part of the story – the TRUE story – that makes America great.
Next week, we will start a new half-year of Monday posts.
I may take some liberties with the format! Be brave!
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
‘Cuz Wheatie Sez!
Just like Trump!
So HOLD ON for the ride of your life!

Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1
Now shortened.
Give them nothing.
Play smart. Every minute, the COUPISTS who stole the election – who lied – who deserve to be at the business end of the very same laws they are using so wrongly against the January Sixth defendants – are trying to set you up. Don’t be a chump. Turn everything back against THEM. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second.
YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..
For an updated version…..
And for a version that includes your having righteously defended yourself…..
OTHER THAN THAT…….
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won TWO elections.
By grace you have been saved through faith; not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8-9
You expect me to believe that Ben Brody a political science student at UCR, a liberal college in California who was unmasked at a protest event is a member of the “far right” organization Patriot Front? Yea right, this guy is an Antifa crisis actor hired by the Feds. pic.twitter.com/BkBNJsO4Jf
I’m proud to say that Peter Hotez has blocked me. 🤣🤣🤣 Given that he has a PhD in propaganda, I’m going to take this moment to reflect on what I did that was so effective. I will then do more of the exact same thing. Tyrants might be liars, but at least they’re cowards too. pic.twitter.com/pYnsE4m7dk
What is an implosion, and what would it have been like for the Titan sub passengers?
The Titan submersible was so deep, experts told NBC News, that the forces crushing it would have been equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower.
The deep-sea water pressure that appears to have crushed the 22-foot craft would have been roughly equivalent in weight to the 10,000-ton, wrought-iron Eiffel Tower, experts told NBC News on Friday. The colossal forces would have acted so quickly that it would be like the vehicle’s carbon-fiber hull “suddenly vanishing” before anyone inside knew what was happening, one expert said.
“They would have known nothing — the minute this body of water hit them, they would have been dead,” said Paul White, a professor at England’s University of Southampton, who specializes in underwater acoustics and forces.
…
“The air inside would compress down to a point, and the forces of the water rushing in and the collapse would be enormous,” he said. “Structurally,” he added, it would be equivalent of the capsule housing the crew “suddenly vanishing.”
“This whole process from start to finish is happening in the blink of an eyelid, the click of a finger,” he said. “I don’t think there would have been any suffering or any knowledge of what happened.”
(I have no idea if this is real or Photoshop – we report – you decide!)
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).

As we were always assured by our Wheatie Warrior!
Take it from Trump!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
litmus test
noun
A test for chemical acidity or basicity using litmus paper.
A test that uses a single indicator to prompt a decision.
A simple test for the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, using litmus paper.
Use in politics:
In politics, a litmus test is a question asked of a potential candidate for high office, the answer to which would determine whether the nominating official would proceed with the appointment or nomination. The expression is a metaphor based on the litmus test in chemistry, in which one is able to test the general acidity of a substance, but not its exact pH. Those who must approve a nominee may also be said to apply a litmus test to determine whether the nominee will receive their vote. In these contexts, the phrase comes up most often with respect to nominations to the judiciary.
Lichen source of litmus (one of many):
Chemical structure of the color principle of litmus:

Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Let’s start off in a “Wheatie way” with some epic orchestral violins!
OK – how about some country music? I just heard this one on the radio. Never heard it before.
Now this is just interesting. YouTube keeps trying to suggest Taylor Swift to me, but the first song it suggested was a duet with one of the [Dixie] Chicks, which shows you exactly where Menshevik YouTube was trying to send me – to MARXIST QUISLING CITY.
Well, I looked further down the list of treasonous suggestions, and the same guest vocalist Luke Bryan in the above video is in this one, but it’s six years earlier.
Remember – Taylor Swift started off in country / folk. Then Hollywood does its thing.
Useful strategic information in the culture wars.
But let’s finish off with a real treat.
Some country line dancers send off one of their friends with his favorite song.
OK – I’m not done. ONE. MORE. SONG!!!
Let’s finish off with something “fresh” in SuSE world!

Wolbachia is a genus of intracellular bacteria that infects mainly arthropod species, including a high proportion of insects, and also some nematodes. It is one of the most common parasitic microbes, and is possibly the most common reproductive parasite in the biosphere. Its interactions with its hosts are often complex, and in some cases have evolved to be mutualistic rather than parasitic. Some host species cannot reproduce, or even survive, without Wolbachia colonization. One study concluded that more than 16% of neotropical insect species carry bacteria of this genus, and as many as 25 to 70% of all insect species are estimated to be potential hosts.
History of Wolbachia:
The genus was first identified in 1924 by Marshall Hertig and Simeon Burt Wolbach in the common house mosquito. They described it as “a somewhat pleomorphic, rodlike, Gram-negative, intracellular organism [that] apparently infects only the ovaries and testes“. Hertig formally described the species in 1936, and proposed both the generic and specific names: Wolbachia pipientis. Research on Wolbachia intensified after 1971, when Janice Yen and A. Ralph Barr of UCLA discovered that Culex mosquito eggs were killed by a cytoplasmic incompatibility when the sperm of Wolbachia-infected males fertilized infection-free eggs. The genus Wolbachia is of considerable interest today due to its ubiquitous distribution, its many different evolutionary interactions, and its potential use as a biocontrol agent.
Why Bill Gates is probably interested in Wolbachia:
Note: This is just the beginning. Look HERE for more.
These bacteria can infect many different types of organs, but are most notable for the infections of the testes and ovaries of their hosts. Wolbachia species are ubiquitous in mature eggs, but not mature sperm. Only infected females, therefore, pass the infection on to their offspring. Wolbachia bacteria maximize their spread by significantly altering the reproductive capabilities of their hosts, with four different phenotypes:
Male killing occurs when infected males die during larval development, which increases the rate of born, infected females.
Feminization results in infected males that develop as females or infertile pseudofemales. This is especially prevalent in Lepidoptera species such as the adzuki bean borer (Ostrinia scapulalis).
Parthenogenesis is reproduction of infected females without males. Some scientists have suggested that parthenogenesis may always be attributable to the effects of Wolbachia. Though this is not the case for the marbled crayfish. An example of parthenogenesis induced by presence of Wolbachia are some species within the Trichogramma parasitoid wasp genus, which have evolved to procreate without males due to the presence of Wolbachia. Males are rare in this genus of wasp, possibly because many have been killed by that same strain of Wolbachia.
Cytoplasmic incompatibility is the inability of Wolbachia-infected males to successfully reproduce with uninfected females or females infected with another Wolbachia strain. This reduces the reproductive success of those uninfected females and therefore promotes the infecting strain. In the cytoplasmic incompatibility mechanism, Wolbachia interferes with the parental chromosomes during the first mitotic divisions to the extent that they can no longer divide in synchrony.
Several host species, such as those within the genus Trichogramma, are so dependent on sexual differentiation of Wolbachia that they are unable to reproduce effectively without the bacteria in their bodies, and some might even be unable to survive uninfected.
One study on infected woodlice showed the broods of infected organisms had a higher proportion of females than their uninfected counterparts.
Wolbachia, especially Wolbachia-caused cytoplasmic incompatibility, may be important in promoting speciation. Wolbachia strains that distort the sex ratio may alter their host’s pattern of sexual selection in nature, and also engender strong selection to prevent their action, leading to some of the fastest examples of natural selection in natural populations.
The male killing and feminization effects of Wolbachia infections can also lead to speciation in their hosts. For example, populations of the pill woodlouse, Armadillidium vulgare which are exposed to the feminizing effects of Wolbachia, have been known to lose their female-determining chromosome. In these cases, only the presence of Wolbachia can cause an individual to develop into a female. Cryptic species of ground wētā (Hemiandrus maculifrons complex) are host to different lineages of Wolbachia which might explain their speciation without ecological or geographical separation.
Wolbachia infection has been linked to viral resistance in Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans, and mosquito species. Flies, including mosquitoes, infected with the bacteria are more resistant to RNA viruses such as Drosophila C virus, norovirus, flock house virus, cricket paralysis virus, chikungunya virus, and West Nile virus.
In the common house mosquito, higher levels of Wolbachia were correlated with more insecticide resistance.
In leafminers of the species Phyllonorycter blancardella, Wolbachia bacteria help their hosts produce green islands on yellowing tree leaves, that is, small areas of leaf remaining fresh, allowing the hosts to continue feeding while growing to their adult forms. Larvae treated with tetracycline, which kills Wolbachia, lose this ability and subsequently only 13% emerge successfully as adult moths.
Muscidifurax uniraptor, a parasitoid wasp, also benefits from hosting Wolbachia bacteria.
In the parasitic filarial nematode species responsible for elephantiasis, such as Brugia malayi and Wuchereria bancrofti, Wolbachia has become an obligate endosymbiont and provides the host with chemicals necessary for its reproduction and survival. Elimination of the Wolbachia symbionts through antibiotic treatment therefore prevents reproduction of the nematode, and eventually results in its premature death.
Some Wolbachia species that infect arthropods also provide some metabolic provisioning to their hosts. In Drosophila melanogaster, Wolbachia is found to mediate iron metabolism under nutritional stress and in Cimex lectularius, the Wolbachia strain cCle helps the host to synthesize B vitamins.
Some Wolbachia strains have increased their prevalence by increasing their hosts’ fecundity. Wolbachia strains captured from 1988 in southern California still induce a fecundity deficit, but nowadays the fecundity deficit is replaced with a fecundity advantage such that infected Drosophila simulans produces more offspring than the uninfected ones.
Wolbachia often manipulates host reproduction and life-history in a way that favours its own propagation. In the Pharaoh ant, Wolbachia infection correlates with increased colony-level production of reproductives (i.e., greater reproductive investment), and earlier onset of reproductive production (i.e., shorter life-cycle). Infected colonies also seem to grow more rapidly. There is substantial evidence that the presence of Wolbachia that induce parthenogenesis have put pressure on species to reproduce primarily or entirely this way.
Additionally, Wolbachia has been seen to decrease the lifespan of Aedes aegypti, carriers of mosquito-borne diseases, and it decreases their efficacy of pathogen transmission because older mosquitoes are more likely to have become carriers of one of those diseases. This has been exploited as a method for pest control.
The first Wolbachia genome to be determined was that of one that infects D. melanogaster fruit flies. This genome was sequenced at The Institute for Genomic Research in a collaboration between Jonathan Eisen and Scott O’Neill. The second Wolbachia genome to be determined was one that infects Brugia malayi nematodes. Genome sequencing projects for several other Wolbachia strains are in progress. A nearly complete copy of the Wolbachia genome sequence was found within the genome sequence of the fruit fly Drosophila ananassae and large segments were found in seven other Drosophila species.
In an application of DNA barcoding to the identification of species of Protocalliphora flies, several distinct morphospecies had identical cytochrome c oxidase I gene sequences, most likely through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by Wolbachia species as they jump across host species. As a result, Wolbachia can cause misleading results in molecular cladistical analyses. It is estimated that between 20 and 50 percent of insect species have evidence of HGT from Wolbachia—passing from microbes to animal (i.e. insects).
Wolbachia species also harbor a bacteriophage called bacteriophage WO or phage WO. Comparative sequence analyses of bacteriophage WO offer some of the most compelling examples of large-scale horizontal gene transfer between Wolbachia coinfections in the same host. It is the first bacteriophage implicated in frequent lateral transfer between the genomes of bacterial endosymbionts. Gene transfer by bacteriophages could drive significant evolutionary change in the genomes of intracellular bacteria that were previously considered highly stable or prone to loss of genes over time.
The small non-coding RNAs WsnRNA-46 and WsnRNA-59 in Wolbachia were detected in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and Drosophila melanogaster. The small RNAs (sRNAs) may regulate bacterial and host genes. Highly conserved intragenic region sRNA called ncrwmel02 was also identified in Wolbachia pipientis. It is expressed in four different strains in a regulated pattern that differs according to the sex of the host and the tissue localisation. This suggested that the sRNA may play important roles in the biology of Wolbachia.
Outside of insects, Wolbachia infects a variety of isopod species, spiders, mites, and many species of filarial nematodes (a type of parasitic worm), including those causing onchocerciasis (river blindness) and elephantiasis in humans, as well as heartworms in dogs. Not only are these disease-causing filarial worms infected with Wolbachia, but Wolbachia also seems to play an inordinate role in these diseases.
A large part of the pathogenicity of filarial nematodes is due to host immune response toward their Wolbachia. Elimination of Wolbachia from filarial nematodes generally results in either death or sterility of the nematode. Consequently, current strategies for control of filarial nematode diseases include elimination of their symbiotic Wolbachia via the simple doxycycline antibiotic, rather than directly killing the nematode with often more toxic antinematode medications.

Sorry people, but I heard this here country song today, booming out of a bar, after walking out of a diner, having just eaten the best breakfast in years, and you’re gonna hear this song until you’re sick of it!
DRINKABY
(this version’s for Kalbo!)
WHAT? This song has lyrics? Well, I’ll be! I never noticed! Let’s look at them lyrics!
So how about the official video? Heck – let’s listen to it again!
What the heck! Where’s the beef? DANG! That’s not a video. That a picture!
We’ll have to look at another line dance to make up for the disappointment!
Apparently Korean chicks LOVE this song. There are TONS of videos of Korean gals dancing to “Drinkaby”. So, given that I love ALL CHICKS, and KOREAN CHICKS are a valid subset of ALL CHICKS, we’re gonna watch another one, just to prove I wasn’t lyin’ about it!
Well, shucks. If we can’t find a REAL VIDEO for THAT song, we’ll just grab another Cole Swindell drinking song, and call it good!
Pour another round for the boys, and let’s have a toast to DOUBLE-X, my friends!

Examples of mondegreen:
Africa – When Toto’s lead singer croons, “bless the rains down in Africa,” some listeners mistake the first few words for left my brains.
Away in a Manger – Even Christmas songs aren’t immune to mondegreen. Instead of hearing “the cattle are lowing,” some people incorrectly understand the lyric to say that they’re lonely.
Blowin’ in the Wind–Bob Dylan advises listeners, “the answer my friends, is blowin’ in the wind,” but not everyone hears it that way. Some perceive the first part of that line as saying the ants are my friends.
Bohemian Rhapsody – While this Queen song does have some nonsense words, the tune doesn’t actually reference saving someone from warm sausage tea. Instead, Freddie Mercury sings “… spare him his life from this monstrosity,” with a strong emphasis on each syllable.
Brass in Pocket – The Pretenders tell listeners, “I’m gonna use my sidestep,” but not everyone hears the last word correctly. Some think they’re saying sausage instead of sidestep.
Dancing Queen– Abba says to “feel the beat from the tambourine,” though some listeners insist the singer croons the word tangerine instead.
Every Time You Go Away – People who hear meat instead of me when Paul Young sings “you take away a piece of me with you” must think the singer’s freezer is being robbed.
Happy– When Pharell sings “happiness is the truth,” some people think he’s actually saying that “happiness is the zoo.”
High on You – The words of this Survivor song reference “piercin’ eyes like a raven,” though listeners often mishear the song as saying glistening eyes.
I‘m a Believer – After the Monkees croon, “then I saw her face, now” some think they follow up with “I’m gonna leave her.” What they really say, though, is “I’m a believer.”
Livin on a Prayer – Contrary to popular belief, Bon Jovi doesn’t suggest nudity in this song. Some mishear the last part of “it doesn’t really matter if we make it or not” as saying naked or not.
Losing My Religion – R.E.M. croons, “That’s me in the corner. That’s me in the spotlight.” Many listeners mistake the word “me” for pee in both of these sentences.
Money for Nothing – Listeners often think this Dire Straits song references free chips, when the lyrics actually reference “money for nothing and your chicks for free.”
Our Lips are Sealed – The Go-Gos sing about “the jealous games people play,” but some people hear Dallas instead of jealous.
Smells Like Teen Spirit – In this Nirvana song, Kurt Cobain sings, “here we are now, entertain us,” though some people interpret the last two words as in containers.
Suspicious Minds – Elvis Presly croons, “we’re caught in a trap,” but some listeners seem to think the last word is actually trout.
Drift Away – When Uncle Kracker sings, “Give me the beat boys and free my soul,” it sounds a bit like he’s saying Beach Boys.
Waterfalls – In this song, TLC advises readers, “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” though some readers think they’re trying to keep someone named Jason Waterfalls from leaving.
We Found Love – When Rhianna sings “what it takes to come alive,” some listeners mishear the end of the line as form a line instead of “come alive.”
Rocket Man – The Elton John line “burning out his fuse up here alone” has been misheard many ways, including running out of fuel and heading home and burning up the trees on every lawn. Volkswagen even used this mondegreen in a commercial.
Mondegreen in a video
Malapropism via Text-to-Speech or Auto-Correct Eggcorn

FIRST – a quick, 3-minute version of the end theme from Gladiator, including dialog. I posted this earlier in a reply to Tradebait on his latest BMID. I consider Gladiator a very symbolic movie, which has a lot to say about Christianity, but very subtly, and mixed well into everything else.
If you liked that, an extended version, starting earlier, with the movie showing in the background!
How about something YouTube suggested? From the EP “Luna”, by Tony Anderson, a title called “Eternal Spring”. The visuals are really something!
And now – some fine country music just for today!
Finally, some music to go with our featured image “fantasy tree”!
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the DayYear Week:
equity
noun
the state or quality of being just and fair.
something that is just and fair.
sustice achieved not simply according to the strict letter of the law but in accordance with principles of substantial justice and the unique facts of the case.
the amount of money that would be returned to a company’s shareholders if all of the assets were liquidated and all of the company’s debt was paid off in the case of liquidation.
the value of company sales minus any liabilities owed by the company not transferred with the sale.
the book value of a company.
payment-in-kind.
the pro-rata ownership of a company’s shares.
Wolf’s additional definitions:
how tyrants and criminals violate both the letter and spirit of the law, in the name of “fairness” and “justice”, while tipping the scales to favor themselves, their friends, and their fellow criminals.
injustice under the color of justice, ironically often done for the sake of “color”.
a redundancy, in that “equitable justice” really means “just justice”, meaning je ne sais quoi justice, or seat-of-the-robe justice.
justice by feeling and not by law.
an admission that the law is not working, so “fuck the law – we’ll just do what we like.”
a legal kludge, which is easily abused, where judicial algorithms break down, and people resort to flimsy neural net solutions, typically with strongly biased inputs.
Wikipedia definition (financial):
In finance, equity is an ownership interest in property that may be offset by debts or other liabilities. Equity is measured for accounting purposes by subtracting liabilities from the value of the assets owned. For example, if someone owns a car worth $24,000 and owes $10,000 on the loan used to buy the car, the difference of $14,000 is equity. Equity can apply to a single asset, such as a car or house, or to an entire business. A business that needs to start up or expand its operations can sell its equity in order to raise cash that does not have to be repaid on a set schedule.
When liabilities attached to an asset exceed its value, the difference is called a deficit and the asset is informally said to be “underwater” or “upside-down”. In government finance or other non-profit settings, equity is known as “net position” or “net assets”.
Investopedia definition:
Wikipedia definition (legal):
Equity is a particular body of law that was developed in the English Court of Chancery.[1] Its general purpose is to provide a remedy for situations where the law is not flexible enough for the usual court system to deliver a fair resolution to a case.[2] The concept of equity is deeply intertwined with its historical origins in the common law system used in England.[2] However, equity is in some ways a separate system from common law: it has its own established rules and principles, and was historically administered by separate courts, called “courts of equity” or “courts of chancery”.[2]
Equity exists in domestic law, both in civil law and in common law systems, and in international law.[1] The tradition of equity begins in antiquity with the writings of Aristotle (epieikeia) and with Roman law (aequitas).[1][3] Later, in civil law systems, equity was integrated in the legal rules, while in common law systems it became an independent body of law.[1]
Used in a Sentence:
“Climate equity is the goal of recognizing and addressing the unequal burdens made worse by climate change, while ensuring that all people share the benefits of climate protection efforts. Achieving equity means that all people—regardless of their race, color, gender, age, sexuality, national origin, ability, or income—live in safe, healthy, fair communities.” -US EPA
