“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

I proclaim it loud and clear I proclaim it now and here God be praised and bless the men Women, grannies, dear children Whoever in the hell it be Who gave this song to you and me
Twas a lad named dear Cthulhu Who gave its tune to me and you Twas a dream, I swear it be That gave this line to you and me: We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
Fields a-burstin’ with their pride Be there shame if any died Turn the bitter Kool-Aid down Let not man nor baby frown We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
When I saw dear girl’s lament Babies’ blood to be our rent I tore my pockets, thanking God Greatest op of dear Mossad We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
For twas clear this mad appeal Born to kill the Green New Deal Came from somewhere high above Born of God’s eternal love We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
For though it might be CIA Or Putin’s girls in their sweet way We shan’t be picky who it was Whose hand that devil’s work undoes We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
So praise all spies and saboteurs Stealthy girl provocateurs Those who made my own life hell But saved our babies good and well We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
A million years, or maybe two There’s no rush, I dare tell you For God constructs where others steal And fool us with their Green New Deal We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
A viper’s plan as Irish spring A devil’s trick as papal thing Let Tree of Life bring huggers down Let babies smile, their buggers frown We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow
And thus I bid you now good bye And walk off into fields of rye And leave you with this sage advice That Earth shall bloom as long there’s rice We don’t have to eat them now Let them live and grow somehow.
How I Finally Got Twitter to Show Me Rabbi Shmuley by Replying Positively to a Comment on an Antisemitic Timeline!
This is actually TWO POSTS IN ONE. And exposing Twitter’s psychological manipulation algorithms (well-intended as they are) is the SMALLER POST.
Let me lead into this with a tweet from Don Junior about Facebook.
How many so-called “errors” and “glitches” will it take before @facebook decides to do something about their far-left engineers who write their biased algorithms? Enough is enough. https://t.co/F1fRuwTduJ
I will just theorize RIGHT HERE AND NOW that Facebook, like the rest of current “mainstream” social media, will NEVER do something about it. Social media IS the absolute best way to socially engineer us, now that FAKE NEWS is busted to hell and back. This ain’t gonna stop. We can only migrate AWAY from control. HOWEVER, busting their political operations IS a way of inhibiting them – of making them BTFO.
And who knows? After MONOPOLY BREAKUP, Twitter and Facebook may spawn some new companies that actually DROP THE POLITICS.
So – without further ado – let’s bust one of their political operations. While teaching a more important lesson about DIVISION and THOSE WHO WANT IT.
I have been following Rabbi Shmuley Boteach – “America’s Rabbi” – since the 1990s. I was first introduced to him on WorldNetDaily – a.k.a. WND – https://www.wnd.com – where he had a column for YEARS, before he moved up to the big leagues.
Rabbi Shmuley is one of those people who is just a straight shooter with absolutely no hidden agenda. He says what is on his mind, but he does it as nicely as humanly possible. He’s very friendly to Evangelical Christians, and represents “religious conservatives” in general, although to be honest, he’s friendly towards everybody. He’s on the very conservative end of Judaism, but he’s as engaging with the non-Orthodox public as people at the OTHER end of Judaism.
He’s a UNITER – not a DIVIDER.
Deep-theologically – meaning at an abstract level, talking about God and Biblical fundamentals – I’m very close to this guy. There’s a rabbi I’m even more a fan of, whose sect got REALLY BIG, but that’s another story. My OUTLOOK on God always remains very old-school, even “proto-Christian”. So I always find myself going AMEN to this guy – even when he’s kindly disagreeing with his Christian conservative friends.
Anyway, I could have SWORN I was following Rabbi Shmuley on Twitter from YEARS ago.
Funny – I had not seen anything from him in YEARS on Twitter. I would not have been surprised if Twitter had actually UNFOLLOWED me from him – or (more likely) had a secret list of PRIORITIZED FOLLOWS and he was near the BOTTOM of my list.
Why? BECAUSE HE’S CONSERVATIVE. He may be very friendly with mainstream figures, even out-and-out liberals, but deep down, he is 100% conservative.
And then – all of a sudden – I see three tweets by the guy. Two that I noticed enough to LIKE THEM.
And then I thought to myself WHAT THE [blank] is up with THAT? How come I haven’t seen my favorite CONSERVATIVE (politically) ORTHODOX (religiously) rabbi – one who (look at his “About” page) is willing to associate publicly with ANYBODY (COUGH, COUGH) – a guy who shuns NOBODY – and I haven’t seen him for YEARS? And then it’s like he’s at the top of my feed. What’s up with THAT?
AH! Twitter simply couldn’t WAIT long enough for the ALGOS to KICK IN so that I wouldn’t notice what CAUSED their political algorithms to activate. Or – more correctly – to SHIFT. For the numbers to CHANGE.
Shortly before I started getting my Rabbi Shmuley tweets again, I had gotten a retweet of a guy I follow on the “Alt-right” named “Battle Beagle”. I typically see Battle Beagle in retweets, rather than direct tweets, but sometimes I do see his original tweets, so a direct tweet COULD have been in my timeline anyway. Unlike Rabbi Shmuley, who I never see, even in retweets. Until now.
Battle Beagle is a bit of an antisemite, but I’m not binary about these things. If you actually pay attention to antisemitism, and don’t just treat is as either one big concentration camp, or one giant dog whistle, one can discover an enormous amount of truth in between about human conflict and misunderstanding. So Battle Beagle’s relatively mild antisemitism “makes one think” – including the always-revealing question of “why is this person antisemitic?” He’s a “good follow”, though a hard follow, and a lot of truth in what he says, mostly about other stuff, or a bit bass-ackwardly, if that truth is directly underpinning his prejudices.
Yes – even the antisemitic stuff has a lesson. If you dig underneath antisemitism, there is always a STORY OF TRUTH – generally not what the antisemite thought, but truth nonetheless. The easy truths – generally realities that are readily misinterpreted – are used to harden the tip of the antisemitic projectile. The FULL TRUTH – the big picture of the whole battle, including the flight path and design of the projectile – that is more of a revelation about humanity as a whole, and not everybody will like it. In fact, it’s kinda scary. We are up against a BIG enemy. Huge and dangerous and HERE like you wouldn’t believe. But it is in asking WHY things are true – even the stuff we don’t like – that there is enlightenment and understanding.
Anyway, sometimes I am tempted to be a bit like Rabbi Shmuley and try to reason publicly with antisemites like those who comment on Battle Beagle’s timeline. In my experience, shaming people away from antisemitism works, but it doesn’t REALLY work. Cheap negative psy-ops are fast, but they are not nearly as effective as RATIONAL, POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT – which would include (COUGH, COUGH) finally showing me Rabbi Shmuley after hiding him from me for YEARS.
So let’s just finish THAT part of today’s lesson – what’s in the title – by spelling out the technical truth. Twitter has algorithms (“algos”) that can “peg us” on various things – you know, just like China’s “social score” horror does – and then they actually try to CORRECT US. So they said “OMG – Wolf is hangin’ around this Battle Beagle antisemite, and he even (see below) left a COMMENT for the FIRST TIME! We gotta FIX THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!” So they look through my list of follows, FIND Rabbi Schmuley, and REACTIVATE HIM to the top of my timeline.
Yeah, think about that. I had to yell “We want Hitler!” in the crowded theater to get them to show me what I paid for – “Schindler’s List”.
Oy, vey.
I could write the software for this stuff, by the way. I can even tell you what the memo looked like that generated it, about “balance”. Heck – I can tell you what’s WRONG with the Twitter software – why ITS OWN LIBERAL PREJUDICES CAUSED THIS.
What we see is EXACTLY what would have resulted from a liberal mind attempting to “balance things” in its own image. The interesting part is how they did it – a kind of SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODERATION USING EACH OTHER. And when you combine all the little wisps of human intelligence, locked in code, the “deciding software” ACTS exactly like what it is – a human intelligence – in silico – conspiring to be our nanny.
Interesting stuff.
No, seriously – I often get the idea that explaining WHY certain things are understandable facts – NOT coincidence and NOT conspiracy (OK, maybe a DIFFERENT conspiracy than we originally thought) – might actually WORK to get people to realize Jews simply aren’t out to “get them” – and even more to the point why human psychology is largely the same, but history has put us all into fascinatingly different yet very real and not always nice streams of space and time which sometimes veer into – well – let’s just say “interesting times”.
Complicated business.
Nevertheless, one has to PICK THEIR BATTLES HERE. It is EXTREMELY difficult to reason with many – possibly MOST real antisemites, and – well – I don’t have any strong arguments against those who would say that I am wasting my time. Maybe I am. Nevertheless, sometimes I just want to blurt out on these Twitter timelines something like: “Guys – if you would just go after communists and Bolsheviks and socialists and whatever, and drop the ‘Jews’ thing, you would clear out all the toxic cultural Marxist scum and free yourselves from your media chains, without creating the very BACKLASH that pens you in like dumb animals.”
Those who have not yet figured out that DAMN NEAR ANYTHING can be hidden behind the “antisemitism” accusation are just SHEEP to whoever wields that weapon.
Go after THE THING ITSELF. Don’t go after WHO IS STATISTICALLY USED FOR IT. WHICH MAY BE A LIE OR A *FRONT* ANYWAY.
*FRONT* is emphasized for the future. “They want you divided” is very, very, very smart. It uses human shields like a CHAMP.
SO – back to the story.
I had gone onto one of these Battle Beagle posts where he’s talking about some Cultural Marxist vile adult cartoon called “Big Mouth” (Netflix – Obama – Susan “Mugabe is a Moderate” Rice – need I say more? – “adult cartoon” – OH, BUT JOE CAMEL GOES AFTER KIDS!) which features a moment where there is a ship that bears the name “S. S. Liberty”.
This is a reference to the USS Liberty, which was an American Navy vessel which was ATTACKED by Israel during the Six-Day War.
Yes, there is a weird excuse here, in that – in this particularly noxious episode of the show – a girl has her first period INSIDE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY! And that is why the episode is entitled “Everybody Bleeds”! Hooray! So all it is, is a REFERENCE to THAT JOKE!
This is what we call “cover” in the anti-communism game. They ALWAYS use it.
They think they’re SO SMART.
You can imagine the discussion that ensues. Or you can just check it out, until Battle Beagle’s account is inevitably (nevertheless, hopefully not) deleted. Here.
I have to admit – I was thinking to myself “CRAP! What the hell was [whoever] thinking when they did THAT?”
There can be reasons, but next ask WHY beyond those reasons.
Maybe it was a kind of weird self-deprecating joke. Maybe it was TROLLING the Alt-Right. Or MAYBE – just maybe – it was simply meant to do EXACTLY what it did – meaning to TRIGGER THE ANTISEMITES.
That’s actually the KEY to the problem, in my opinion. Dividing from cover is BRILLIANT cultural Marxist psychology. Anger and whip up the antisemites and SCARE JEWS AND ISRAEL SUPPORTERS at the same time.
Meaning that in the latter case, they SCARE UP THE COVER.
Provocation. IT WORKS.
See Candace Owens. It works for blacks, too. You have to listen to her speech. It’s brilliant. Is 2024 too early for this woman? 2028 for sure.
WOW. The idea that the "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" slanders are more about keeping blacks afraid and "in line", than they are about demonizing white Trump supporters, is powerful. https://t.co/dUYJgPs3v2
But let’s not go there just yet. You see it, though, don’t you?
The whole USS Liberty incident is a HUGE recruiting tool for antisemites. It will be debated endlessly like Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, the Reichstag fire – whatever. It’s AUTOMATIC DIVISION.
Now consider THIS idea – which looks completely separate, but it’s not.
Contrived chaos is an enabler for psychopaths to gain power and control. Therefore it should not be surprising that they have formed cultures, institutions, and doctrines to maximise such chaos. Our job is to stop being so naive, and to understand their methods, so we can resist.
This wonderful Martin Geddes tweet is more about big social chaos (I can fit 9/11 into it very easily, with room to spare for Iranian and Nork nukes, and OH YEAH, let’s go even bigger and just say “nuclear fears” or “terrorism”), but it even works for smaller potatoes like stirring up antisemites on Twitter and Gab.
“THEY WANT YOU DIVIDED.”
Just keep repeating it. That Q quote is a WINNER for eternity.
HUMANITY as a whole is being KEPT DOWN ON THE FARM by DIVISION.
What’s happening here – at the DEEPEST LEVELS – isn’t “Jews rubbing it in our faces”, which is what the antisemites all want to believe in the comfort of an easy, small belief that a small force is arrayed against them.
What is happening is that Cultural Marxists – who I believe are FRONTING for higher and much bigger forces, shall we say – are sowing division, and the SHEEP are grazing on the poisoned weeds.
Anyway, there was a reply on Battle Beagle’s post that I thought was very astute:
That whole show, including the art style, looks like its whole purpose is to just demoralize and wear down whoever watches it.
This is a KEY realization. So I responded back with a Yuri Bezmenov video on demoralization, resisting the urge to lecture “It’s not Jews – it’s Marxists – and WORSE”. I just stuck to the greater truth of DEMORALIZATION.
NOW – this is critical. Notice that somebody replies to this, and tries to circle things back to the comfort narrative with old antisemitic memes. They WANT to maintain the narrative. “It’s not Marxists – it’s JOOZ!”
If it’s not obvious, this response is basically “Jews poisoning the well – AGAIN”.
Don’t look away. Look at it. This is how viral antisemitic memes propagated before there was an internet. The FEAR LEVEL had to be higher. “Your baby is going to die because of your Jewish neighbor.”
THIS is how they could CAUSE POGROMS.
We can SEE this now because we have the internet, and we have deeper understanding through what amounts to MODEL UNIVERSES.
“THEY WANT YOU DIVIDED.”
Now Twitter could VIRTUE SIGNAL by deleting the Battle Beagle account, in some kind of dramatic horror, but why on Earth (COUGH) should they? Not if they TRULY want to dig down under MODERN antisemitism and ACTUALLY SEE how it is being continuously fed OLD antisemitic MYTHS as a justification for new outrage.
So that we can UNDERSTAND IT.
So that we can ACTUALLY FIGHT IT.
So now understand – I just had an AMAZING teaching moment about how HUMAN DIVISION happens – how old memes lock us in to old myths and old stereotypes. And Twitter [presumably now] wants to DELETE MY PROOF?
I mean, some idiot can report it, and it’s GONE.
In fact, let me go so far to say that IF TWITTER suspends or deletes the Battle Beagle account as a virtue signal, then they are either ON THE OTHER SIDE or they are CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.
This was my response to Martin Geddes. See WHY I said this, and WHY it applies here. See WHY I’m saying “don’t be sheep, people. Figure out WHY this stuff is happening.”
Pay attention, people. Read this FIVE TIMES.
Recognize CONTRIVED CHAOS. Spot it by its enabling of power and control. Spot the things which promote it and USE it. Stop being naive – RESIST virtue signal response. Understand their methods – the SCRIPT. Don't go along – RESIST. https://t.co/XbCsAhzlNz

Q posted today – in preparation for the Qth of July – and I thought it was worth covering, because a great thought really struck me from these posts.
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
What happens when the ‘controlled’ are told to create a new false ‘racist’ narrative [disinformation campaign]?
Do the ‘SHEEP’ follow?
Think for yourself.
SEE truth.

Take a look at Islamist agent Omar’s words:
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
We’re not falling for it.
Ilhan Omar, July 16, 2019
What I find remarkable here is that these two women standing here, in the video in this tweet by Ilhan Omar – namely Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley – minus their comrades, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez – represent two things which both want WITH INCREDIBLE FEROCITY to take away MY rights and MY freedoms.
Namely, COMMUNISM and ISLAMISM.
In fact, they want to take away EVERYBODY’S rights – all in the name of “equality”.
In doing so, those two things – communism and Islamism – have LITERALLY gerrymandered REALITY ITSELF in every possible IMAGINARY way except the ways that matter.
But what I find MOST ODD is the following.
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CREATE THESE DIVISIONS.
They FEED on these divisions.
They NEED these divisions.
They STOKE these divisions.
They START these divisions.
They SPARK these divisions.
They CREATE these divisions.
They EXPAND these divisions.
They MAKE TOXIC these divisions.
And now – at long last – they actually have the GALL and the HELL-DESERVING CHUTZPAH to BLAME these divisions on somebody else.
I can in no way say this more strongly.
YOU are the fucking racist, Ilhan Omar. YOU are the fucking racist, Ayanna Pressley.
If you hate this country, which you do, please leave and go to CHINA.
IF you EVER come back, you may think differently about America. But I will tell you ladies this. We will NEVER let you turn this place into another China, where they have REAL socialism, and REAL concentration camps for Muslims, and REAL SLAVERY for PEOPLE LIKE ME.
SO GO TO HELL, SOCIALISTS.
We will NEVER let you bring socialist concentration camps here.
NEVER.
EVER.
Oh, and by the way, I posted about that earlier. Have a look.
Speaking of CHINA and the FOUR HATEWOMEN, I posted this on Gab, about “GO BACK”….
Why should the Four Horseladies go back? Enlightened SOCIALISM and KINDA SORTA EX-SOCIALISM IN China and Russia await their new citizens!
“Comrades Ocacio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley! Welcome to your new home in CHINA!”
China actually has REAL concentration camps for Muslims. You all should go to CHINA and be part of the real drama. Omar and Tlaib get to go INSIDE China’s concentration camps for Muslims, while AOC and Pressley can protest outside for one entire minute, if they’re very lucky, before they get sent to LAOGAI (otherwise known as concentration camps for politics), where they will surely be raped many times before they die, in lovely SOCIALIST CHINA!!! Where there is no racism, as long as you are the “right” kind of Chinese!
SOCIALISM! IT’S AWESOME – FOR THOSE IN CHARGE – FOR A WHILE!
The shooting at the synagogue in Poway has interesting details
that we might want to keep discussing as we ponder
the aims, successes, and yes, failures of the puppet masters
behind these despicable attacks.
Rachel Stoltzfoos | Staff Reporter at DailyCaller.com
The man who fired a semi-automatic weapon inside the Chabad of Poway synagogue in San Diego on Saturday froze, dropped his gun and sprinted to his car when he saw Oscar Stewart come barreling toward him, yelling so loud the priest at a neighboring church could hear.
“Get down!” Stewart yelled, according to his wife and others who were at the scene. “You motherfucker! I’m going to kill you!”
Others who were there later told him it sounded like four or five people were shouting. He thinks maybe an angel was standing behind him and speaking through his voice. When the shooter ran, he immediately gave chase.
Stewart, 51, told The Daily Caller on Sunday he doesn’t remember any conscious thought from the moment he heard the gun shots until it was all over — he just acted on instinct to stop the shooter and prevent him from leaving so he couldn’t hurt more people somewhere else. The Iraq combat veteran said his military training kicked in.
“I knew I had to be within five feet of this guy so his rifle couldn’t get to me,” Stewart said. “So I ran immediately toward him, and I yelled as loud as I could. And he was scared. I scared the hell out of him.”
Stewart served in the Navy in explosive ordnance disposal from 1990 to 1994, then enlisted in the Army in 2001 because of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
“Looking back, it was kind of a crazy idea to do, but I did it.” He was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and left the military in 2004, as a staff sergeant. He’s now in construction work.
When the gunman opened fire, he was in the back of the synagogue. By the time he got to the lobby, the shooter had killed one woman, blown the finger off of a rabbi, and injured two others.
“I heard gunshots,” Stewart said. “And everybody got up and started trying to get out the back door, so I — for whatever reason — I didn’t do that. I ran the other way. I ran towards the gun shots.”
“When I came around the corner into the lobby area, I saw the individual with a gun, and he fired two rounds. And I yelled at him and I must have yelled very loud, and he looked at me, and I must have had a really mean look on my face or something, because he immediately dropped his weapon and turned and ran. And then I gave chase.”
Stewart said he chased him all the way out to his car and began pounding on it — the shooter had managed to lock himself in. When Stewart saw him reach for a rifle, he punched the side of the car as hard as he could, intending to figure out a way to drag him out of the car. That’s when a Border Patrol agent who attends the synagogue came running out to the parking lot, yelling for Stewart to get down because he had a gun.
Stewart says this man may have saved his life and pointed to his use of a civilian’s gun as evidence that gun control isn’t the answer to these kinds of tragedies. Stewart was off-duty and was apparently handed the weapon by someone else on the scene.
“It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun,” he told the Caller.
The agent fired several rounds into the lower part of the vehicle, intending to disable it, but the shooter managed to drive away. The two of them then grabbed a phone from someone and called the police to report his license plate. The shooter later turned himself in.
After he sped off, Stewart ran back into the synagogue and found a woman he knew, 60-year-old Lori Gilbert Kaye, unresponsive on the floor in the lobby. He began CPR and continued trying to bring her back to life as a couple of doctors arrived and began to assist him. She didn’t make it. The two had talked occasionally, and he remembers her as a passionate and kind woman.
“She had different political views, so we had interesting discussions when we talked,” he said. “We didn’t just talk about the weather. It was kind of cool. She was a very loving woman.”
Stewart considers her the real hero. Eyewitnesses said she jumped in front of the rabbi to save his life.
“People in the aftermath here have been saying it’s important to be strong and defend ourselves. I also think it’s important to know that being strong and defending ourselves requires a lot of sacrifice too.”
“I don’t know if I consciously made the choice to potentially sacrifice myself,” he added. “But I did. And this lady, she stood and she jumped in front of the shooter and she saved the rabbi’s life. When somebody said I was a hero, I’m like, she was a hero. I just did it instinctively, like an animal. There was no conscious decision. I just did it.”
He may not call himself a hero, but Stewart believes his actions effectively stopped the shooter. He doesn’t think reports of the shooter’s gun jamming as the reason he fled are likely to be true, because he was using a semi-automatic rifle. “Full automatic weapons will jam,” he said. “Semi-automatic weapons do not jam.” He thinks maybe the shooter had emptied his magazine. Whatever the case, the shooter let the slung weapon drop and fled.
“He was in the act of shooting when I saw him,” Stewart said. “When I yelled at him he turned and looked at me, and he like froze. And then the look on his face was one of amazement at first, and then one of fear. He saw me coming, and I was ready to do whatever I had to do to stop him.”
For his part, Stewart doesn’t attribute the shooter’s actions to a larger agenda and was reluctant to connect him to a larger political context. He doesn’t blame President Donald Trump and expressed hope that people don’t try to blame anyone else for the man’s actions. “He was an individual acting alone,” he said.
“If you’re ignorant and you don’t know what people are like, you don’t know that I’m a person just like you. I go to work every day in a manual labor job. I’m not some, you know – supposedly he said in his manifesto that the Jews control this and that — I don’t control anything. I go to work just like you every day. He didn’t know that.”
“If he had gotten to know me, he would know that I’m a great person, that I’m a nice guy, that I’m a very caring person,” he continued. “My apprentices — they all love me. They say that I’m the best teacher in the world, you know, that I care, that I try to teach them, and if he had known any of these people, like the lady Lori who died. She would go give Easter baskets to kids and that’s not even a Jewish thing, you know. … She was just a warm person.”
If anything’s to blame, he says it’s social media and the increasingly disconnected world we find ourselves in. “The whole media thing — people don’t get to know people, and they get to sit in a cocoon, and sit and make opinions on what somebody writes. It’s not good. We need to interact more.”
“The most important thing I want to share is that we need to know each other,” he said. “If you make an opinion on anyone, you need to know what they’re about, and who they are. You can’t generalize and say every blue person is evil because they’re blue. That’s ridiculous.”
The funeral service for Kaye is on Monday. He expects the synagogue will be totally packed.
Wow! #Poway Chabad Rabbi had asked border patrol agent who took down the Synagogue shooter to pray armed – just in case. In doing so, they averted an even greater catastrophe! The agent only recently discovered his Jewish roots.https://t.co/taCgwSj8fQ
POWAY, California — Jonathan Morales, an armed off-duty US Customs and Border Patrol agent who recently discovered his Jewish roots, was among the worshipers at Chabad of Poway on Saturday when John Earnest entered the synagogue near San Diego during Passover services and began shooting. The 19-year-old gunman killed Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60, and wounded three people: Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, 8-year-old Noya Dahan and her uncle, Almog Peretz. “Morales recently discovered his Jewish roots. He would travel three and a half hours from [the California town of] El Centro to pray with us at our shul,” Goldstein told media at a Sunday press conference outside the synagogue. “He felt this was his house of worship. And many times I said, ‘Jonathan, you work for the border patrol. Please arm yourself when you are here; we never know when we will need it.’” US President Donald Trump spoke with Goldstein on Sunday and took to Twitter to praise the rabbi and Morales, writing: “He may have been off duty but his talents for Law Enforcement weren’t!”
Sincerest THANK YOU to our great Border Patrol Agent who stopped the shooter at the Synagogue in Poway, California. He may have been off duty but his talents for Law Enforcement weren’t!
As for why there weren’t any active duty guards at the synagogue, in an earlier interview with CNN Goldstein said, “Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford to have an armed security officer at every service, so whenever we had extra help, we were grateful for it.” In a moment that Goldstein referred to as “miraculous,” Earnest’s gun jammed, and congregant Oscar Stewart, a 51-year-old Army veteran, and Morales attempted to subdue the gunman. Morales was also able to open fire and give pursuit. After Earnest fled the building, Morales followed in his own vehicle and shot and hit Earnest’s car. Earnest soon turned himself in to law enforcement. On Sunday, Goldstein, his two hands in fresh blue bandages, gave a detailed recounting of Saturday’s harrowing shooting in Poway, a suburban town just north of San Diego. “I was preparing for my sermon, I walked out of the sanctuary and into the lobby and I saw my dear friend Lori Kaye,” said Goldstein. “I walked into the banquet hall to wash my hands, walked two or three footsteps and I heard a loud bang.” That bang was the sound of the first shots fired by Earnest, a college student who entered the Chabad House undetected amid a flow of mourners who were gathering for Yizkor, the traditional memorial service held on the final day of Passover. “I turned around and saw something indescribable,” Goldstein continued. “Here is a young man standing with a rifle pointing right at me. He had sunglasses on. I couldn’t see his eyes, I couldn’t see his soul.” The rabbi said that when he saw the shooter he initially froze, then raised his hands to cover his face. Two of his fingers were blown off; one was reattached by surgeons at Palomar Medical Center in San Diego late Saturday. Gilbert-Kaye, whom relatives and friends on Saturday described as a woman of unconditional love and unbounded generosity, was the only fatality of Earnest’s mass shooting. Goldstein took several minutes to thank San Diego County law enforcement and to praise the wellspring of warmth and support that the local community has offered in light of the tragedy.
A chain of miracles
In a remarkable series of events, the rabbi and a handful of congregants were able to save a group of children playing in the adjacent banquet hall, preventing a full-fledged massacre. “I ran [to gather the children],” Goldstein says. “My granddaughter, who is four and a half years old, saw her grandpa with a bleeding hand. She saw me shouting, ‘Get out! Get out!’ She didn’t deserve to see her grandfather like that.” Aided by Peretz, an Israeli war veteran who was also at Chabad of Poway with his family Sunday, Goldstein was able to usher the children out of the banquet hall with the shooter in pursuit. But in what Goldstein referred to as a “miracle,” Earnest’s gun jammed. Even while Morales was still on Earnest’s trail, congregants — who had been gathered in the sanctuary and would have made easy targets for Earnest had his gun not jammed — fled to Chabad’s front entrance. Goldstein’s hand was bleeding badly and his two fingers were dangling by cartilage. “I grabbed a prayer shawl,” he said, wrapped his wounds, and stood on a chair to address his congregation. “I said, ‘I gotta do something,’” he said. “I said to our congregation: ‘Am Yisrael chai [The People of Israel live]. We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall and we will not let anyone or anything take us down.’”
Farewell to an ‘angel’
“Lori took the bullet for all of us. She died to protect all of us. She didn’t deserve to die,” Goldstein said. Gilbert-Kaye was one of the congregation’s oldest and most devoted members, the rabbi told media. A former employee of Wells Fargo, she was instrumental in helping Chabad secure the loan for the building in the early 1990s. She and her husband Howard were so close with the rabbi and his wife that two weeks ago they flew to New York City for Goldstein’s youngest daughter’s wedding, and danced together with the bride.

Her generosity and kindness was lauded on Sunday by Roneet Lev, who was at the Chabad of Poway to mourn. Lev described herself as Kaye’s best friend. “Lori Kaye is an angel on this planet,” Lev said. “She’s touched many lives in her own life. Not just in this community but throughout the entire world.” Describing a woman who always carried gifts cards and greeting cards to offer as presents and who would regularly purchase extra coffees and donuts for homeless people on the street, Lev explained that Kaye was at Chabad of Poway to say the first Kaddish mourner’s prayer for her mother, who had recently died. Kaye’s daughter Hannah lives in Los Angeles and had driven down to be with her mother for the service. Lev offered hope and optimism as she spoke of her friend. “Even in this horrible, painful event, we know good will come out of it,” Lev said. “Lori is known for bringing out the good in people. And look at these flowers. Look at this law enforcement. Look at the good people of San Diego. Lori is now bringing them together.”
p.s., another article about the shooting from a local paper was originally posted with some odd wording that cast some shadows on the synagogue’s use of DHS funds to strengthen security. The second and third versions fixed this gaff and added a quote from the local ADL spokesperson.
Oh, VERY IMPORTANT!

This very special MALE & FEMALE thread
celebrates Heaven’s original blueprint for
both the male and the female genders.
An African Cardinal Speaks
I believe this Cardinal, Robert Sarah, brings a beautiful moral clarity to many of the topics discussed here at Wolf’s Q Treehouse, but let’s to focus on the gender issue for a moment.
Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, says that the spiritual crisis that currently blights “the whole world” has its roots in Europe, because Europe has rejected God:
“Western people are convinced that receiving is contrary to the dignity of human persons. But civilised man is fundamentally an heir, he receives a history, a culture, a language, a name, a family. This is what distinguishes him from the barbarian. To refuse to be inscribed within a network of dependence, heritage, and filiation condemns us to go back naked into the jungle of a competitive economy left to its own devices. Because he refuses to acknowledge himself as an heir, man is condemned to the hell of liberal globalisation.”
Cardinal Sarah links this idea of the rejection of humanity’s inheritance to another that he says is at the root of current malaise: the rejection, in the West, of the idea of fatherhood.
The two rejections, he explains, are intimately bound up with our rejection of God.
“From Him we receive our nature as man and woman. This is intolerable to modern minds. Gender ideology is a Luciferian refusal to receive a sexual nature from God. Thus some rebel against God and pointlessly mutilate themselves in order to change their sex. But in reality they do not fundamentally change anything of their structure as man or woman. The West refuses to receive, and will accept only what it constructs for itself.”
He continues: “Because it is a gift from God, human nature itself becomes unbearable for western man… This revolt is spiritual at root. It is the revolt of Satan against the gift of grace.”
We ignore the gift of grace found in gender differences to our great loss.
However, I’d like to redirect our attention to something else about the Divine blueprint. There are two versions of the creation story in the book of Genesis. The first is more like a requirements specification, the second is more like an elaboration process.
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”19 So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.20 He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening.22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. 23 “At last!” the man exclaimed.
“This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”
24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. — Genesis 2:18-25
Have you ever considered that Wolf’s famous BOTH logic applies to God? In the first reference the term human beings (Hebrew ’ādām) is the generic term for humankind and does not imply gender. In the blueprint, humankind is created in the image of God, BOTH male and female. To truly defend and honor gender, we must first respect this reality. There is the biology AND the spirituality.
John Eldredge’s writing have captured the power of celebrating the qualities of gender for the most recent generation. And recently a theologian has pointed out that section in that corresponds to the governmental portion of the Mosaic law in the Ten Commandments is, “honor your father AND your mother.” Talk about revolutionary. There have been patriarchal cultures and matriarchal cultures, but a culture of honor for BOTH???
What if we’ve been duped into looking at the wrong thing (again). What if true leadership and authority and inner peace flow out of embracing the partnership of two very powerful and very different genders, BOTH made in the image of God?
To be honest, I’m just scratching the surface of what feels like an intense and very deep reality here. I don’t think I’m even close to where we need to be on this. There is something here that we must understand in order to prevail in the culture/spiritual war we are dealing with. But it seems this needs to be put out there for discussion.
This very special DESPAIR & DISILLUSIONMENT thread
commemorates the greatest psy-op ever
attempted against Heaven’s beloved, mankind.
Think’s Thoughts
Imagine being Peter, seeing the miracles, the honor given to his teacher, the wild popularity with the people, and then, Jesus explains all of this is going to change.
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Peter feels he must help his teacher out. Jesus must be tired and have made a mistake. It’s hard to imagine the intensity of the sting of that rebuke from Jesus. Peter, soon to be the rock of the church, had been the mouthpiece of satan? Ouch.
But Jesus then pivots and turns this into a teaching moment Peter would never forget.
The Way of the Cross
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
And then the ministry starts to get really busy. I wonder if Peter forgot those words in the whirlwind of activity, or did he in quiet moments would revisit that stinging encounter and try to make sense of it all?
Later on, Jesus would tell the parable of the tenants.
“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
Then, in Bethany, a woman pours a very expensive perfume on Jesus’ head, scandalizing all present, excepting Jesus. Again Jesus patiently explains what is coming.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.7 The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Mark 14:6-9
This is when Judas snapped. He’d been following a madman. How could the Son of God be talking of defeat and death this way?
But Jesus did indeed suffer humiliation, torture, and death. Afterwards his closest disciples are ashamed at their lack of courage and in deep grief. His betrayer, Judas, hangs himself in despair.
The disciples of Jesus have taken a gut punch. The women following Jesus have proven to have much more courage than the men. What embarrassment! The only leadership shown was by Joseph of Arimathea, not in the inner circle at all, who boldly goes to Pilate and asks for the body of Jesus and gave some dignity to him in his death.
The disillusionment stung. The grief nearly unbearable. Such a dark fog of evil swirling around them, that they can’t even remember the promise he gave to rise on the third day.

Thank you <3
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:

It’s been a big day, but THIS is the news I wanted to hear. I have been of the opinion that the scandal being used against Bibi is the same stuff that was used against OUR VSG – meaning FAKE NEWS – so I really wanted to see the lies PUT DOWN HARD.
A special thread from which to get ready for, and then watch, the “super blood wolf moon”.
Before leaving, I wanted to provide some information about the “super blood wolf moon” which will appear in my absence, on the night of January 20/21. I also wanted to leave a special parting message for everybody. And finally, I wanted to leave some potentially missing crumbs for the white hats.
Rather than doing three posts, I tried to do a SINGLE POST. Well, that didn’t work out so well. The “a few tips for the white hats” part turned into a MASSIVE reveal.
Eventually, the latter just became the focus of things, and it was all wrong. Therefore, I excised that part as a separate post. Which you may or may not have seen, when you see this.
So – let’s concentrate on the SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON.
A “super blood wolf moon” will appear across the U.S. Sunday night. What does that mean? https://t.co/O2VTnjum2w
Latest SDO image of our local Star shows Earth Facing Coronal Hole on the way… the timing coincides with the arrival of the “Wolf Blood Super Moon” in the next two days.. there should be a Geomagnetic Influence taking place at the same time of the Gravitation Pull of the Moon.. pic.twitter.com/G1rBnMVeS6
The bottom line – there is a LUNAR ECLIPSE that is coincidental with a bunch of stuff, and that stuff has heightened the usual human interest in any eclipse to extraordinary levels.
Now – a few thoughts about that interest.
There is certainly a lot of interesting stuff attached to this eclipse. I think one of the greatest points demonstrated by this event is the MASSIVE MINDSHARE which this celestial event holds over people – the way both ANNIVERSARIES of things and ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS have PSYCHOLOGICAL POWER over people.
This is significant. Note that these events are important in both RELIGION and SCIENCE, to say nothing of HISTORY per se. Is it any wonder that both ASTROLOGY and ASTRONOMY developed?
The PERIODICITY of things is REAL. Some is hard and fast, some is loose and statistical, much is personal and circumstantial. Coincidence is a thing which sometimes is meaningful, sometimes not. I love the famous Ian Fleming quote:
“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action”
Ian Fleming
HA!
Let me add to that.
“Ten times means you’re behind enemy lines.”
Where “scientific suspicion” leaves off and the left’s useful dismissive tool of “confirmation bias” begins is not clear. In my opinion they overlap strongly, and one has to be careful that “intuition leading to revelation” is not dismissed too early. In fact, I tend to believe that “confirmation bias” is now the left’s strongest tool for creation of useful idiots.
“Nothing to see here. It’s just coincidence.”
Still, we must be PATIENT. Correlation is not causation. The search for causation is what takes things from astrology to astronomy. It can even take astronomy from planet Vulcan to general relativity.
The search for causation can also take things from happenstance and coincidence to enemy action. Causation is sometimes something we have to wait long and hard to find.
