The First Message:

To all who may be locked out at this time

PLEASE go to THE U TREE and post a comment – EVEN if it goes into moderation. I will get you out of moderation, and we will get you into here.

This strategy has worked for everybody who has been able to post there.

I need you to post a comment on The U Tree – it’s that simple.

The Second Message:

You will recall my prior message, which Deplorable Patriot has faithfully echoed for your benefit, during this time that I have maintained a certain radio silence.

July 6, 2021 17:07
Thanking everybody for your patience. Whether happenstance, coincidence, or enemy action, I’m dealing with some technical issues. In addition to those, and the obvious spiritual attacks, I am dealing with the obvious site stuff in what are best maintained as unobvious ways.

I suspect we struck a nerve.

A combined technical / spiritual / strategic response by all of us will prevent this attack from succeeding. Hold the line – bite the bullet – gird the loins – bite the lip – pray for guidance, discernment, and strength – whatever YOU believe keeps the ship aright for the moment. Everything else is lower priority.

Deplorable Patriot suggests the following. I am not about to argue.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.


I am now going to explain a bit more about what is going on. That will be the THIRD message. But I will post the above immediately and UPDATE during the next few hours, so that those who are locked out will understand and follow the procedure starting with COMMENTING ON THE U TREE.


The Third Message:

Now, I’m going to explain SOME of what is going on.

I start off by explaining the somewhat unusual security requirements of this site.

Our PURPOSE – stated fairly clearly from the beginning – is to provide a way for the GRASSROOTS – YOU – to post your thinking – CLEARLY – thanks to FREE SPEECH – where it can be seen by all. We don’t REALLY have secrets here – other than what is needed to preserve our freedom of speech. Thus, I don’t spend a lot of time doing that crap.

Obviously, we become a THORN in people’s sides, but I hope that this THORN is attached to one immortal CROWN, from which we HUMBLY DEFEND TRUTH.

See? It’s all a matter of perspective.

Anyway, during the recent friction (I’ll be kind) between various posters, I was made aware of certain (I’ll be kind again) “mischaracterizations” of posts and comments on this site.

In the course of this – and I do thank all who opined both openly and privately – it became clear that these mischaracterizations are not only an unacceptable danger to this site and our free speech – but they are related – in ways which may be innocent, but are not necessarily so – to other extremely consequential mischaracterizations.

NOW – here is where it gets REALLY interesting.

At that time I was paying attention to a growing security problem in the WordPress world, which has affected many sites – the “spam registration problem”.

We love our LURKERS – including those good and honest people who make sure our GRASSROOTS VIEWS are promptly and accurately reported to other good and honest people. Some of these lurkers are likely even a bit automated – frankly, we don’t really care. We’re the news now, so to speak, and people automate that stuff. It’s a fact.

Now there may be BAD LURKERS, too, but that just comes with the territory. Right? Shouldn’t be that much of a problem. If they don’t actually interfere with us, why should I care?

Whether people are carbon-based or silicon-based lurkers, we don’t really mind them registering on the site, either, so that they can be “subscribers”. That’s fine with me.

The problem for me was mostly that the volume of lurkers got bigger and bigger and bigger. That was bad, but livable.

However, more recently, things got STRANGE.

I started seeing a real uptick in RUSSIAN subscribers. Yeah, those annoying Russians. Just like DOJ, it’s pretty hard to say WHOSE SIDE they’re really on. Right? It’s like Star Trek or Babylon 5. Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians and Bejorans – or however you spell these names. They’re all just TROUBLE.

The thing is, the NUMBERS – sheesh – they were OUT OF CONTROL. I mean, it was bad. Actually, it was worse. It was EMBARRASSING. An EMBARRASSINGLY large number of weird Russian accounts following us.

But then I got to thinking about TIMING. Why right now?

And how do I KNOW if they’re really Russians? They could be anybody. False attribution is what everybody does. And even “real” attribution can have false intent.

BUT – one thing was clear. It LOOKED LIKE Russians.

So whoever was doing it, Russian or not, WANTED it to look like a whole bunch of Russians were following this site.

You startin’ to see what I’m sayin’?

And this is all on July 4th. I was seriously getting the impression that DODGE and FIB had been hoping for more “actionable riling up of us Deplorables” on July 4, and they weren’t getting it. Where “action” could be anything – provocation, intimidation, influence, control, STFU – whatever.

Now there was some other information I got that was really quite useful here, which nature I don’t want to get into, but I was starting to see some connections – NO MATTER WHAT. Whether it was a PLOT, or people just tipping HANDS, or just people displaying signs of INFLUENCE – something stunk about ALL this stuff happening at the same time.

SO – on the TECHNICAL FRONT – I decided to deploy one of the many wonderful solutions which are now available for this problem of phony and bot registrations.

On the SPIRITUAL FRONT – I decided to ASK FOR HELP – from all of YOU – and you all really came through. I want to particularly thank Sadie, who saw that the spiritual attack was such a large component of this.

And on the SITE POLICY FRONT – I decided that misrepresentations of posts or comments are not tolerable, and must be dealt with by a policy OTHER than “letting things just work out” – my primary weapon. We simply can’t put up with it.

Beyond this, I went through a little exercise of “gathering bona fides” – which was enough for me to feel comfortable with where things are now. I will NOT let this site or the people here be BETRAYED. This is not to say that I don’t have a certain amount of sympathy for MAGA Mom. I do.

Like I always tell people, my mother lived through Hitler. These times are very similar. We all have to make difficult decisions, that may put us on opposite sides.

ANYWAY, I figured that the combination of ENDING THIS CRAP and DISCLOSURE (which is what I’m doing now) would fix things – at least temporarily – for our little site.

Now here is where it gets even more interesting. And one might say that this is useful information from the “grassroots” for our special HONEST lurkers.

Remember THIS thing?


The Attack on Tucker Carlson is Classic Weissmann DOJ/FBI Treachery

I knew there was something wrong with the “NSA” spying on Tucker Carlson. NSA spying is traditionally SO deep and so quiet that nobody ever knows anything about it. That’s the way they operate. Big, deep, huge, silent, and NEVER give even a HINT of the magnitude, or the IDEA that it might be abused. …


That little CHINA-LOVIN’ BOLSHEVIK, Andrew Weissmann? Tryin’ to stick Tucker Carlson with more “Russia, Russia, Russia” insinuations? At the DOJ/FBI abuse of NSA data level? While pretending to be patriotic?

Hmmmmm. Wonder what Mark Steyn might have to say about that.

Why, this whole thing about “Russia” reminded me of something.

Such bullshit. Framing, set-up, evil bullshit.

So I was thinking “Yeah, gotta get this shit taken care of.” We needed to deal with this crap a.s.a.p.

They could be FRAMING us. Right? They being – you know – the DNC-DOJ-FBI-CCP-HRC-CIA-“USSR” complex.

So while I was dealing with the technical solution, I discovered something really interesting. I discovered that we had actually TRIGGERED some of these horrible “contractors” that the DNC farms out to carry out their treachery. Not only did we trigger them – we triggered them into digging deeply into the bowels of the site.

They were TRIGGERED by this post:


QArmageddon

Somebody put Mountain Dew in the Wolf’s water bowl, and suddenly he thinks he’s wild and free. Indeed, while being WALKED BY HIS DOGHANDED OFF TO HIS WIFELEASHED TO HIS {{{“SMART”PHONE}}}X///RUNNING WITH SCISSORS IN HIS MIND///X But not yet having waved to the patriots who overfly his house routinely to see the giant TRUMP SIGN …


I will admit that I loaded this thing up with bait – not the least of which was an asteroid explosion as the featured image. You know – those “violent” QAnons. I then sweetened with “Mike Flynn is gonna whip yo ass”, which is guaranteed to set DOJ-FBI “contractor” hair on fire.

A critical part of this bait was our discovery that one of the “QAnon experts” used by this legion of fancy-shoe coastal elite globalist scum had revealed prior knowledge of the Buffalo Jump.

Add that all up together, and YEAH – better get that security stuff in pronto.

Now here is where it gets even MORE interesting.

When I slapped in this solution, suddenly a gazillion attacks ran into a brick wall. The origins of the attacks were VERY enlightening. And the people who were getting into the deepest “stuff” were coming out of some VERY interesting places.

Beautifully, at almost the same time, THIS Gab post appeared in the open thread on July 11 (thanks to eilert).

You only need to read the FIRST PARAGRAPH (in bold).

Wow! Looks like the CCP may have been using the Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA to steal US aerospace technology for years!

And, would you look at that – Leonardo SpA also happens to be in business with the same UBS Securities that infused $400 million into Staple Street Capital (owner of Dominion Voting Systems) just three weeks before the 2020 presidential election!

Makes you wonder – why is there an Italian affidavit alleging that Leonardo SpA’s Head of IT Arturo D’Elia admitted to taking part in a cyber hack of the 2020 election

Yeah. Hilariously, at the very moment I dropped the hammer on all the bullshit, we received and stopped five strikes into the Sacred Room of the Holy Grail, with one attack being from some nameless host in the middle of Chinese Flyover, and another one being out of Leonardo SpA in the middle of Italy.

Funny, that.

So, you see, all of this stuff is tying together, and it is VERY big-league.

I will just finish with this thought.

Fake Elections are a HUGE deal.

At this point, I think the people who have “depended on them”, to put it nicely, will do almost anything to protect the scammy black box from inspection.

The trouble is, for me, Fake Elections are a no-go. They’re completely unacceptable.

The diamonds must be returned.

DEAR KAG: 20210514

It’s Focus on Good News Friday!

Elderflower champagne

Wolf’s Pub is open for business. We’re gonna concentrate on the good news today and enjoy an Elderflower Fizzy (aka Elderflower champagne or wine) a beloved summer drink in the UK. We’ll get to that in a moment.

Can you feel the change? Our President is BACK and his “From the Desk of”  comments are lighting up the political scene again. Thank you, Mr. President! We missed you very much.

https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/djtweb/general/5-12-21_Letter_to_Maricopa_County_Board.pdf

RINOs ARE IN RETREAT

The establishment Republicans are going down like bowling pins in a strike. Lib Cheney had her sorry butt kicked to the curb, and wasn’t it so satisfying?  Kevin McCarthy is now in line for retirement. Asa Hutchinson, we’re coming for y’all. Your time “serving” in government is almost up. MAGA is here to stay.

Go on and start that third party, UniParty pukes! What a joke.

And yes, Texas RINOs, we are coming for you too! Hear that, Jared Patterson? LOL.

That duplicitous Michigan GOP chair, Heider Kazim, had his clock cleaned the other day. Adios, buddy. Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

MAGA is a juggernaut. It won’t be stopped. Nothing can stop what is coming.

Here’s one of our favorite MAGA fighters. This woman has more fight in her pinky finger then a bear. The Washington Post had a hissy fit because Mighty Marjorie confronted that buck-toothed AOC. AOC ran for the hills. See folks, that’s how you do it. CONFRONT THE LIES AND THE LIARS. Call a spade a spade.

And MTG goes all in:

SPEAKING OF PINKIES…

Since we’re in a garden party mood, let’s all lift our pinkies in the air and be extra civil today. The sun is shining, the weather is warming, and the good news is flowing. Wolf’s rules are here. The Utree is here for any brawling, and in case we need to reconvene for some reason.

PATRIOTS FIGHT BACK

The Texas Heartbeat Bill passed the Legislature yesterday and Governor Abbott will sign it! We are saving babies! Moloch loses.

Citizens launch a petition to get PA audited!

Election Integrity: Never, ever stop speaking out:

“We are proud to be flag-waving American patriots, and we could not care less about what they say and think.  Also, we will continue to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the phrase “one nation under God.”  As Americans, we will not shut up and quit.  We will be victorious over the Marxist insurrectionists in this country.  We will never wave the white flag of surrender to the Marxist cancel culture movement, but we will keep our God, Constitution, guns, and freedom of speech.  To say less than the truth is not the truth.  The truth cannot be compromised or negotiated.”

Don’t mess with the McCloskeys!

The NBA ratings nosedive again! Take that! Opiate of the masses no more!

California is full of patriots and they aren’t gonna take it anymore!

BYE CNN AND FRIENDS!

The MSM is going down. The proverbial Bucket O’ Water has been tossed on their witchy heads.

The great Van Morrison knows the deal. Enjoy:

The Alternative Media is growing by leaps and bounds. Just a few:

Add to that, a plethora of independent blogs, conservative political sites and websites where patriots are fighting the good fight. Our duty is to pass them along to friends, family and frenemies. I know I’m driving a few people nuts, but I’m not giving up.

SUMMER IS FIZZY TIME

Now to our fizzy summer drink, Elderflower Champagne. This refreshing drink weighs in at a light 3-5% alcohol content, unless you are using an Elderflower liqueur. But today, we are working with the old-fashioned elderflower fizz, which countless UK households have been making for generations:

Good Ol’ Traditional Elderflower Wine (this is a simple recipe although you can find recipes that do NOT use the yeast and nutrients). Many home brewers simply use the wild yeasts present on the elderflowers themselves to begin the fermentation process. Using wine yeast will ensure fermentation and a higher alcohol content. Watch here for the simplest of recipes, using only the wild yeasts on the flowers:

Here’s another video with some different techniques. There is a plethora of recipes to brew your own Elderflower Champagne.

In addition to Elderflower wine (champagne, fizz) there are Elderflower cordials, liqueurs and cocktails.

Here is a nice video by Lady Carnarvon of Highclere Castle (not up on the Fine Folk but she seems delightful) making elderflower cordial:

In honor of our growing gardens, today’s drink special is an English Garden:

St. Germaine is a French Elderflower liqueur that is widely available. Here’s a nice Italian one.

And just for nice, here’s an article about the wonderful things you can do with elderflowers for food and meds.

CCP/FAUCI VIRUS NEWS

They are having to give away money, food, hunting licenses, college tuition and gift cards to get people to submit to the jab. Simple desperation. I’m almost embarrassed for them, if they weren’t such evil eugenic jackasses. The side effects up to and including death are turning people away in droves from taking the experimental shot.

Dr. Fauci is headed for justice. He is a murderous traitor. Do you think he’ll turn before he’s arrested, or will he stay loyal to his Big Pharma masters and the CCP scientists?

Lawyers and Doctors the world over file suit against the jab pushers.

Is the government hiding death numbers for the vaccinated?

Here is Dr. Shiva with an excellent explanation of why Big Pharma needs to push their jabs. Yeah, it’s all about the benjamins. Greed is a very deadly sin.

MIT researchers can’t understand why vax-skeptics aren’t just swallowing the BS. Hilarity ensues.

The Social Media giants are on the verge of toppling. Heavy censorship of all negative Covid information is going to cut their legs out from under them. They are committing hari-kari and it is glorious to watch. I used to think we needed to legislate them out of existence, but when their complicity in the pandemic and subsequent deadly shots are exposed, it will be their end.

A respected toxicologist has called on the CDC to halt all Covid shots. More here

America’s Frontline Doctors (here’s a great video on Ivermectin)

The Covid Blog

ODDS AND ENDS

More climate hoaxing exposed. The climate cash cow is crashing and burning, too. 😊

Intersectionality has met its match. We just aren’t going to get into the madness with you, and we’re going to TELL YOU ABOUT IT WITHOUT FEAR.

The Deep State is being caught with their pants down…over and over again. Here we find some in the CIA are bedding down with the CCP.

More CIA Intelligence Failures:

“The CIA serves not the United States but its own corporate interests and its partisan vision.”

Let’s get the truth out. Painful, but in a good way.

Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen looked like a complete moron under withering questioning by Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar. Do watch.

I think the whole insurrection thing died right there.

Grandmaintexas

HERE COME THE WARRIORS

The military (at least the retired officers) are speaking out. They are being blunt. Finally. Ya gotta know it’s not just the retired officers. Let’s leave it at that.

The French military has been speaking out, too.

Retired French and American officers oppose tyranny:

 “The flag officers take aim at the Democrats’ “tyrannical government,” their “full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner,” and their “population control actions,” including “censorship of written and verbal expression.”  After enumerating what can only be called “a long train of abuses,” including the government’s intentional creation of a crisis at the southern border and intentional destruction of America’s newly won energy independence, the administration’s decision to give aid and comfort to Iran’s regime of terror, and the Democrats’ use of the military as “pawns” to intimidate conservatives while coddling Antifa and Black Lives Matter insurrectionists, the retired U.S. generals and admirals warn Americans as bluntly as the French generals warned France: “The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake.”

HIS FRAUDULENCY’S FIRST 100 DAYS

Epic fail.

The discredited fact-checkers, pretend journalists and assorted Deep State propaganda outlets are lauding Joe’s glorious first three months as Resident of the United States. What buffoons they’ve all turned out to be. They can’t stop lying.

From America First to America Last. Read it and rejoice that the Trump Curse remains powerful. Scroll down for a LONG LIST of Puppet Biden’s strings being pulled every which way but loose.

In order to tamp down the outrage over the Biden-induced border crisis, Uncle Joe had to pretend to start up the wall construction again. LOL. What a guy.

QTREE FORUMS ARE UP AND RUNNING

Go here and take a look around. Pretty durned nice, eh?

I’m gearing up to start the Pub Club. The Great Books await. The Iliad first? Meet at the forum one day a week? Suggestions, please.

PATRIOTS AND PRAYER WARRIORS

Last, but not least, our prayers are music to God’s ears. Like a sweet savor that rises heavenward, our petitions and praise please Him. Let’s not forget to keep praying for our nation, the White Hats wherever they may be, and each other. Special prayers for those going through physical, financial, and emotional struggles right now. God bless and keep us and make His face to shine upon us.

The Prayer that saved America

And oh yeah:

Wheatie for the win! We love Wheatie!

Dear KAG: 2021-04-23 Green Fairy Friday!

Welcome back to Wolf’s Pub. It’s La Fée Verte Friday (aka Green Fairy Friday) here and we shall get to our magical drink soon. First, let us reiterate that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election. He’s an utter fraud, as are the monsters who installed him in the White House. May the Green Witch overtake them and put them where the sun doesn’t shine.

Wednesday was Earth Day. Duly noted. Eye roll to the max. Let’s put it this way: there is green, and then there is Green. Let us discern.

While world ‘leaders’ attempt to keep the dying Covid-19 scam (aka the Wuhan Virus) going, they are linking it with Climate Change and the Green New Deal. The Great Reset continues apace, although the sparkplugs aren’t firing as cleanly as the globalists and their communist lackeys would wish.

That Greenie False Prophet at the Vatican is sponsoring a New Age globalist health conference in early May. Here’s his super short speech at Joe Biden’s “Leaders Summit on Climate” yesterday, and the image below is for next month’s “Global Health Care Initiative.”

If you have any doubts about this religio-communist pretender, they should be dispelled here, where we see that God Himself is portrayed as wearing a glove, supposedly to prevent either infecting or being infected by Adam, and vice versa. What a disgusting, blasphemous act.

Archbishop Vigano speaks out. Here’s more about “Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul. How Innovation and Novel Delivery Systems Improve Human Health” conference on May 6-8th. A few of the speakers:

  • Anthony Fauci
  • Chelsea Clinton
  • Deepak Chopra
  • CEOs of Moderna and Pfizer
  • Kerry Kennedy
  • Cindy Crawford
  • John Sculley
  • Brandon Marshall
  • Joe Perry of Aerosmith
  • Robin Smith, president of the Cura Foundation and author of “Cells are the New Cure.”

A thought to ponder:

Obedience to Disobedience is not Obedience.

A counter conference to the Mind, Body, Soul fiasco is the Truth Over Fear online summit: Covid 19 and the Great Reset. Part of the intro:

“Truth Over Fear summit is a three-day online gathering of 40+ frontline doctors, scientists, attorneys, researchers, and journalists, who will share invaluable and eye-opening insights into the truth behind the headlines, Covid-19, the rushed vaccine, and the Great Reset.

Big Tech does not want you to hear this information and is working hard to censor us. Most of our presenters have been silenced. In fact, the same day we published this summit, YouTube terminated our account and we are now shadow banned everywhere.”

You can sign up for free at the link. Limited time to do so. The speakers are stellar. Here’s a few:

  • Dr. Judy Mikovits, PhD
  • Arch. Carlo Maria Viganò
  • Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
  • Dr. Lee Merritt
  • Dr. Reiner Fuellmich
  • Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg
  • Alex Newman
  • Vladimir Zev Zelenko, M.D
  • Vera Sharav
  • Peter A. McCullough, MD
  • Senator Scott Jensen, M.D
  • Dr. Pierre Kory

Little Greta-the-greenhearted Thunberg (thanks Cuppa Covfefe!!) was spouting some nonsense the other day about animal diseases being linked with climate change and so on, completely ignoring that real scientists are experimenting with viruses in labs for gain-of-function use against humans, but whatever.

She’s got a new special on PBS. The propaganda is so easy to spot now and so very tiresome:

Fake Science, Fake Medicine.

A great interview here: The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research, with video below.

Today’s Special is Green as Heck

Well, let’s get to our drink special today. ABSINTHE. Oh, the humanity! This “beautiful madness” (from a poem by Peggy Amond) was known as the Green Fairy by many artists and writers of the Belle Époque.

According to Maison Absinthe:

“Absinthe began in France in 1789, initially as a healing potion. It was used to purify water and as an antiseptic. Absinthe gained in popularity during the Franco-Algerian war where many French soldiers had developed a taste for the high alcoholic “medicine.” and it became more and more popular. Because of its greenish tint, it became known as La Fée Verte (The Green Fairy). This is why French Absinthe is among the most popular.

As a result, by the end of the 19th century, absinthe was the favored cocktail of Paris and famous people were drawn to absinthe, like Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Allan Poe, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Lord Byron, to name a few.

The popularity of absinthe wasn’t limited to Europe, as it soon found its way to the United States and in particular New Orleans, because of its large French population. Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde all enjoyed drinking absinthe at The Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street. The Old Absinthe House is still there, by the way.”

Want to buy one of these? A traditional Absinthe fountain!

Here’s an article: The Five Biggest Absinthe Myths that gives a little info on its supposed hallucinogenic properties and the infamous way of serving it with a flaming sugar cube.

Be well warned that drinking Absinthe straight is a recipe for epic drunkenness. I had a bottle disappear from the house one night when my kids were at “that age.” Finally connected with my daughter the next morning after she and a friend had awoken from an Absinthe stupor.

I think she was sick for two whole days afterward. Has never had it since. I can laugh now. NOW.

Outlawing Absinthe: Gov’t thought it subversive

Watch the fun vid below about Absinthe. Around the two-minute mark your host tells how TPTB were not happy that the working man would gather around drinking Absinthe and talk politics. That and the winemakers in France were unhappy that Absinthe was cutting into their profits:

For a lovely and magical explanation of Absinthe’s attraction, watch this Swiss video that shows a second-generation distiller of Absinthe:

And here’s a last one. Basically a six-minute ad for a particular distillery, it is beautiful and dramatic:

Here’s a How-to on making Absinthe at home.

Health and nutrition info about Absinthe here and here and here.

And here’s the low down on that fascinating plant, Wormwood that just may be the magic ingredient to creating La Fée Verte:

Organic Facts

How to grow Wormwood

The bartenders are offering a special Absinthe cocktail tonight: The Wolf Bite. It won’t be a full moon until the 27th but let us howl anyway!

We can’t leave the subject of Absinthe without noting that its most notorious ingredient Wormwood is mentioned in Holy Scripture.

The Apocalypse (Rev. 8:11) is its most famous mention:

“And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”

And here from the Prophet Amos (Chapter 5:6-8):

“Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.

You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,

Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.”

So much to ponder there…

There was a 2017 docudrama from Netflix (yuck) that is named Wormwood, and tells the story of Frank Olsen, who may have been an MK-ultra victim.

The Russian word ‘Chernobyl’ means Wormwood, btw.

House Rules

Keep it civil. Absinthe is purportedly an aphrodisiac and gets your inner muse going, so I don’t think we’ll have a problem with incivility. However, go here for Wolf’s rules before you hoist a Wolf Shot, and we’ll all do fine.

If you need to make a date with the Green Witch, head over to the Utree. Or, if we get separated from here, head over there to meet up. And lookee here, we’ve got a forum just about up and running.

The Green New Deal is the color of money

Well, now that we have our green drinks in hand, let’s get back to Climate Change, aka as the continuing saga of sick globalists and their communist henchmen as they try to take over the world and turn it into some type of dystopian nightmare.

We must have the obligatory mention of Arch Villain Bill Gates, who is buying up farmland like there’s a fire sale somewhere.

He attended the climate summit this week with lots of other globalists and assorted elites. Go here for a fun rant against the elites from Steve Bannon. He skewers them but good. And Gates is investing millions in fake food, too. Bill Gates and his fake solutions to climate change:

“The report highlights one of these so-called technical ‘solutions’ through the example of synthetic food, which aims to replace animal products with highly processed ingredients, usually through synthetic biology. Billionaires are heavily investing in this growing market: Gates alone has spent $50 million in leading company Impossible Foods and actively finances several others.

Fake food is advertised as a solution to climate change and environmental degradation, but in reality, fake food has a carbon footprint seven times larger than less-processed plant proteins. Cell-based meat also emits more GHG than some animal products and recent research even suggests that over the long-term, its environmental impact could be higher than that of livestock. Far from ending climate change or world hunger, fake food still relies on an industrial agricultural model, based on monoculturestoxic pesticides and GMOs, that is destroying our ecosystems and threatening our health.

The report also shows how the patenting of these artificial food growing techniques has become an instrument for corporate and billionaire profit-making, shifting power away from farmers and toward biotech companies, while completely ignoring the solutions offered by the regenerative agriculture movement.”

The Grand Solar Minimum is Herle

So we’ve heard that Bill Gates wants to shoot some stuff into the atmosphere to COOL IT DOWN. Playing God again, Bill? The Lord has preceded you:

Modern Grand Solar Minimum will lead to terrestrial cooling

And:

The Coming Modern Grand Solar Minimum at American Thinker.

Fta:

“We’re about 16 months into this GSM, with 32 more years to go. Already 2019 and 2020 saw record low numbers of sunspots. We’ve had lower than expected crop harvests due to unseasonable rains both years. The April 2021 USDA World Agricultural Product report has articles detailing Taiwan’s expected 20% decrease in rice production this year over last, Cuba’s rice production 15% below its five-year average, Argentina’s corn, Australia’s cotton, Malaysia’s palm oil — all down, all due primarily to the weather. There are some expected bumper crops, all based on expanded acreage.”

The Greening of Communism

The White House Resident of the United States has jumped in with both feet to destroying the economy and jobs of our nation with a plan:

“The U.S. emissions cuts are expected to come from power plants, automobiles, and other sectors across the economy. Sector-specific goals will be laid out later this year.

The new U.S. target nearly doubles former President Barack Obama’s pledge of an emissions cut of 26%-28% below 2005 levels by 2025,” according to a Reuters article.

AOC and Sen. Markey have introduced some type of bait-and-switch bill to take our money and pretend to provide good jobs. There’s some social justice stuff wrapped up in it, so we all know it is another shot at taking from the barely-haves and giving to the have-nots. The rich elites will laugh all the way to the bank. It’s the Civilian Climate Corps, doncha know. Channeling FDR…

 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has challenged AOC to a debate about the Green New Deal. According to Sara Carter it’s on, although there’s been no formal agreement to go forward yet.

Let’s Get Down and Dirty in the Garden

It’s one small step for us. Start small and step out boldly. Small farms, and even small gardens are going to save the world from starvation. Big government in cahoots with Big Ag has given us Fake Food System Models to scare and threaten us, take our money and steal our health.

But Small Farms can Feed the World.

Just like the fake numbers we get from just about every institution today, do read the above article to see how hoodwinked we’ve been. It’s just sickening.

In World War II there were Victory Gardens everywhere. People grew their own vegetables and fruits so that farm production could feed the troops. We can do this. Garden science has come a long way. Urban farming is a large and growing movement.

Gardeners in suburbia have turned their grass into raised beds. You would be amazed at how much food you can grow over a year in a small plot. Container gardening has blossomed, too. Even in apartments, you can grow all kinds of crops on a balcony. Gardening year-round in cold climates has also come a long way.

Here’s a great video about a family in California who grow annually 6,000 pounds of food on 1/20th of an acre. They even have chickens and little goats.

Here’s their website. They are teaching others the way to food freedom.

More resources:

Polyface Farms with Joel Salatin (lots of Youtubes)

Four Season Farm with Eliot Coleman (great for year-round gardening in cold climates)

Charles Dowding and No Dig Gardening (great Youtube Channel)

The Plummery in Australia (a lot of good advice for new gardeners):

Here is a balcony garden in Germany. Lovely:

There is a giant mountain of books, videos, blogs, podcasts and even local gardening clubs that can help us toward food freedom. Hmmm…Food Freedom. Sounds like a great forum topic.

At any rate, the way to beat the Giants is to be small. Lots and lots and lots of small gardens producing big. Seek out and support local food producers, many of whom live hand-to-mouth raising produce, meat, eggs and other products in a Good Steward way.

Barter. Exchange goods for services. Think local. Stay local. Survive. Thrive.

The more we can grow, make and produce, the less we have to rely on the Giants. We can defeat the globalists and their communist henchmen one garden plot at a time.

Never give in! Never give up! They can’t beat us!

Forum Feedback Discussion

Let me begin by thanking everybody who helped test out the forum, including a couple of “new” posters. I want to emphasize that the forum is going to be designed to bring more people to the discussion, which is basically designed to be like Twitter or Gab – talk about whatever.

I want to THANK Tonawanda for pushing this aspect IMMEDIATELY, because I want the forum to be a real forum. Patriots talking about WHATEVER. We will likely create subfora which may ask for either HIGHER levels of civility, or allow for LOWER levels of civility – basically being “The U Tree“, only not under the control of WordPressDotCom. We will leave The U Tree where it is, as a kind of lifeboat in case this whole site goes down, but otherwise, I want to move the “get a room” stuff back to this site – just in a back room.

Likewise, thank you to Bfly for BRINGING HOME THE BACON.

Our friend rayzorback also gets it. ANYTHING.

NOW – let’s get down to BUSINESS.

I want to start making this sucker more like what it’s supposed to be – to get it OUT of beta test mode – very quickly.

We have different formats – the default is THREADED, which is much like on our blog, with the wpDiscuz commenting system.

Threaded has INDENTATION of REPLIES to REPLIES.

Threaded ALSO seems to be the most popular of the formats:

Now that is SOMEWHAT not fair, because I put up a threaded forum first, and people gravitated to it. HOWEVER, I put up the other three formats fairly quickly, and they DID draw replies, but NOT new topics (or “posts” in some parlance), as the THREADED format did.

Based on my observations, the big hit was conservative cultural discussion using the threaded format.

The threaded format simply drew MORE participation.

The next most popular was PROBABLY the Simplified layout. This layout depends heavily on QUOTING. It’s linear with embedded quotes that refer back to prior replies. This is an older but very common style of layout.

The Extended layout is pretty much the same as simplified, only LOOOONGER. It also depends on quoting.

Finally, there is the Q&A layout, which is a bit like Reddit, and a bit like technical “questions answered” forums.

This one is weird and confusing, yet has strange charms. It’s easier to show you how it works. The most important principles are as follows.

(1) The title asks a question, which is fleshed out in a top-level “reply” which can be commented upon.

(2) Responses to the title question are also top-level “replies”, which are called “Answers”, which have changeable titles, and can be upvoted or downvoted, affecting their display order.

(3) All top-level replies, both the fleshed-out question AND the “answers”, can draw COMMENTS, which are next-level replies, to which one CANNOT reply or “like”.

NOW – with that understanding in mind, observe FOUR disjoint snippets from a single Q&A session, which illustrate all these features and limitations.

Now, there seems to be some love for the Q&A format, despite its weird limitations. But there is also a lot of HATE.

We are almost led to the idea – well – can we have MULTIPLE layouts?

The answer is technically YES. However, there are RISKS in breaking up the forum too much. But let’s set those risks aside, and assume we are smart and don’t succumb to the risks – that we can avoid them. Let’s assume we “break things up smartly”. The next question is – HOW can we do this?

What is technically possible in terms of mixing styles?

There IS some “hybridization” possible, where we BLEND into a single style. It is complicated and probably won’t be done right away. This involves taking features from one style and grafting them into others. The software is designed to allow this, but it’s not simple, and it’s LIMITED. Small features, yes. Big ones – only if possible, and probably not even THAT.

So let’s set THAT aside. What is still possible in terms of multiple styles?

It turns out that EVERY FORUM AND SUB-FORUMS of that forum must have the same style. In other words, if I set up a forum, any forums “within it” or “below it” must be of the same style. Basically, anything in a hierarchy obeys the layout above it.

I can have MULTIPLE forums, but whatever layout is used in the top-level forum, carries down to ALL subforums.

Thus, if we want a “Q&A” forum like on technical sites, where answers “compete”, which can also be viewed as a reddit-style forum, where trendy consensus moves to the top, then that forum has to be DISTINCT from the main “threaded” or “simplified” forum, which is more likely to be the consensus forum layout. Likewise, if we want BOTH threaded and (simplified and/or extended) forums, then they ALL have to be separate, parallel, forums.

NOW your are ready to see what we have – FOUR parallel top-level TEST forums.

This will all get modified when I take the FORUM (as a whole) out of “beta test” into production. I may keep these old forums and their contents for historical purposes, or change them into new ones, but this is where it starts.


SO – that is is.

What are your thoughts? SPEAK FREELY NOW!!!

Our Forum Opens Today

You may see something different today. Look closely at the links below…..

I have now added a FORUM to this site. The link is given on the homepage, or you can just remember it:

LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/community/

After some time playing with it, I have added the wpForo forum plugin to the site.

There’s nothing there, yet. It’s an empty lot. But it’s a START.

Like the commenting system, wpDiscuz, wpForo is free, but all the fun add-ons cost money. We MAY add some later.

Here is what a functioning forum actually looks like…..

Ours isn’t nearly this good yet. But it’s wide open now. It’s time to start playing with it.

I am planning on building this sucker with y’all. And with a lot of help and input from y’all.

Here is some of our prior discussion on the topic of the forum:


New Site Status Report 20201201

OK – here is an update on the new site. I’m putting it here ON the new site, so people can start getting used to commenting over here. I have decided to go for SMOOTHNESS OF TRANSITION rather than CLEAN FAST BREAK. PATIENCE. It’s a virtue. Most of the posts transferred. We only have about …


Forum Annex Domain Choices

I am planning to create a “forum extension” to this site, which will allow for growth and “full free speech zones”, without significantly changing the nature of THIS site. I decided AGAINST simply bringing The U Tree over to Epik. I don’t really feel like that site has much of a future. I don’t feel …


I have given the authors MODERATOR status on the FORUM so that they can help me build. All registered subscribers have REGISTERED status. This is somewhat how most forums work – people have to register to start threads.

Don’t worry – we’ll work through it.

ANYWAY, let’s have fun and start playing with the forum and building stuff. I encourage people to tinker with the forum and comment here. I will make adjustments and add organization as needed.
