This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is 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/KMAG/KAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.
Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.
For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition by Franco Miquio Portell, titled ‘Don’t Give Up Now’:
Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Fecalith
‘Fecalith’ is a noun, which means…a stony heap or mass of feces; a hard mass of fecal matter.
Used in a sentence:
The Democrats and their enemedia nozzles have created a fecalith of lies to support their theft of the 2020 election.
Happy Hour is commencing at Wolf’s Pub! We’re going to be serious about joy this fine Friday in January.
January, besides being the time of year when presidents are sworn in for their term in office, is also the time when seed catalogs arrive and gardeners begin planning for spring. I went on a seed buying spree today. I just needed a reminder that good things can happen, like seeds sprouting and flowers blooming. So I bought about 20 packets of seeds. And I’m just getting started.
Speaking of getting started, let’s get to our Drink Special: Bénédictine liqueur. The first time I tasted Bénédictine was like a revelation. The origin of Bénédictine is said to date back to a French Benedictine monastery in Normandy, France around the year 1510.
However, as Wikipedia and other sources say, it was “developed by wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand in the 19th century, and marketed as having been derived from an original recipe of Benedictine monks…”
The official Bénédictine website says, “Bénédictine is an elixir; a subtle alchemy of 27 herbs and spices carefully sourced from around the world and hand-selected by the Master Herbalist.” Many of the herbs are considered medicinal, which may be one reason that a nightcap of Bénédictine contributes to a restful night’s sleep.
The Benedictines are known for hospitality, so it is fitting that Le Grand named his liqueur after them. I have spent many a joyful evening sipping on this aromatic, mysterious and fascinating liqueur. Let us toast the Intrepids among us who made it There and Back Again, DC Edition. God bless you for your faithfulness and patriotism!
In a spirit of reconciliation, that our President has asked us to embrace for the moment, let our conversation here be one of civility. Let us be especially kind in our sorrows as we weep for our troubled nation, and let us find together that joy does indeed cometh in the morning.
If you really just need to vent and verbally brawl, head over to the UTree, where your inner beast can cut loose. And if you are new or need a refresher on the house rules, go here. Thank you in advance for giving our burly bouncers nothing to do.
I bet your heart plummeted to your feet when you first saw this. I know mine did. The sick, twisted, devilish and diabolical comments from assorted leftists, trolls, bots, and Trump haters confirms for me that we are in the thick of a darkness that threatens to completely overwhelm our nation. Looking for a ray of light.
“The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not.” (John 1:5)
Well, election reform is a good place to start and President Trump knows that better than anyone. Without that we will never have another election that we can trust. I hope we all do realize that we are going to have to do this on a local level.
We will have to get in the battle in our own communities. We will have to become experts at running elections and ensuring they are above board. Then we will have to move it to the county and state levels and ultimately the national level. How we will accomplish that with a nearly non-functioning republic is anyone’s guess, but somehow the light will shine and show us the way.
What got me going over the last couple of days is the persistent lies that the propagandists (aka MSM) spewed. It got so vile on Epiphany (January 6) that I knew the sheer number of patriots in DC had enraged the enemies of freedom and a feeding frenzy commenced. It hasn’t stopped yet. Just a bitter taste:
I have a love/hate relationship with Steve Bannon’s War Room.
https://youtu.be/dDuBIgbX6Hc
At the start of every show, he FORCES US TO LISTEN TO THE VILE STINKING WORDS of those in media and government who crave ultimate power over us, indeed who have been exercising despotic control over what we see, hear, know and understand. (That fire ring below has the Tolkien quote:
“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.”)
It was torture to listen to yesterday’s podcasts. Back during the 2016 campaign and into President Trump’s early presidency, I was a devotee of Reddit’s The_Donald group. Over and over I saw young people coming to faith in God because of the evil they were seeing and hearing from those on the Left.
These young people could not believe the level of lying, character assassination, threats, and violence that they were experiencing.
Seeing the reality of evil up close led them to God because instinctively they knew such great evil had to have an opposite, and that opposite could only be Divinity. They understood that the evil was not just your run-of-the-mill human badness.
It was spiritual in nature. It was diabolical. Seeing it up close and personal awakened the young people. Isn’t God wonderful? “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” (Gen. 50:20)
Sidney Powell knows evil and how it is expressed in media. She felt the oppression of it recently and reached out for prayer. She’s battered but still standing. God grant her joy amidst the trouble and evil.
Brave journalist Lara Logan sees the effects of propaganda, too.
My husband spoke just yesterday to a colleague. The subject of the election came up. This poor fellow parroted the political and media-driven lie that, “This was the most secure election in history.”
The majority of the American population is still sucking at the teat of NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc. This is an existential problem. It is an addiction problem, and a brainwashing problem.
It has cost us dearly. The alternative media, while helpful, did not make enough inroads to overcome the distinct advantage ofcorporate Marxist media. We have to do better. We can do better. We will do better. We don’t have a choice, so we might as well pick ourselves up, wash our faces, smile large, and enter the fray.
I am proud of the thousands and thousands of patriots who showed up to make an historic statement that the other side could only TRY to stop, by besmirching its beauty with their LIES and TRICKERY.
Yes, their LIES and TRICKERY – to try to falsely portray themselves as VICTIMS, when in fact they are SCHEMING BETRAYERS of this great Republic.
LIES and TRICKERY which will fall with THEM as wheat and chaff before my SWORD OF TRUTH.
I am going to tell you what really happened. I will tell you THESE THINGS and much more.
How American Proles stormed the Queen’s Palace on our own Bastille Day
How weak men and women – betrayers, cowards and criminals – hatched a scurrilous plot to hide from the truth and to make themselves victims, as they voted to save themselves and condemn America
How I will not back down – how I am PROUD that I was there – and now rain SHAME on Washington and the corrupt, weak, and undeserving men and women who occupy it
How Pelosi’s plot backfires even now, for the TRUTH will hound her to HER GRAVE IN HISTORY
My call to arrest ALL of those who concocted this media plot to defame patriotic Americans
AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN
This is going to be a stream of consciousness recollection – a remembrance – in out-of-order snapshots – nearly unedited. I will update it in parts, and if it turns into an entire book, so be it.
This will take at least three days to tell. But when I am done, you will know that my fellow Americans – ordinary men and women – were HEROES, and our leaders in Washington are SHAMEFUL, NATION-BETRAYING COWARDS, who hide from TRUTH and JUSTICE behind Nancy Pelosi’s wicked trickery.
STAND BACK. IT’S ALL COMING OUT.
W
THE TRUTH WILL NOT BACK DOWN
1. Lupus contra mundum
I don’t know most of their names, but their faces, their smiles, their flags, banners and signs – they will all remain burned into my memory, and I will die a happy man remembering them. It was one of the most beautiful afternoons of my life, and if I am the ONLY person in the world who believes in it, then I will join Athanasius and stand against the world.
When media mouthpiece “blow-dries” who won’t even LOOK AT US – who don’t even KNOW these wonderful people – when politicians who would kick us off an airplane to get an extra seat for their toady staffers – DARE to call these people “domestic terrorists”, then I will drop my gun, pick up my Bible, and SHOW THEM which weapon to truly fear.
Ron Wyden is a FREAK. A “soft-serve communist” – the very definition of nebbish – who lives comfortably in a nation built by far better men. Wyden is one of the greatest hypocrites to ever walk the face of this earth. This is the man who – while he coddles ANTIFA and BLM (who not surprisingly figure into Pelosi’s plot against us) – dared to call the men, women and CHILDREN I met that afternoon “domestic terrorists”.
I was driving home from Washington, DC in the middle of the night – somewhere in the darkness on the highway in Virginia – when I heard Wyden’s sound byte for the second time. It just GALLED ME to no end, and in fact it is because of that sniveling bicycle Bolshevik that I resolved to write this article.
So I guess I can thank him for something.
America, I’m going to tell you something SHAMEFUL. President Trump was the ONLY one who defended leftists LIKE US at Charlottesville.
WHUUUUUT? “Leftists like us?”
Most of you WEAK – PARTIAL – PARTISAN BASTARDS and BITCHES – just like me – did not catch this. In the massive desire to proclaim YES THEY’RE NAZIS or YES THEY’RE COMMUNISTS, only President Trump dared to call INNOCENT lefty protesters LIKE US IN THE MIRROR “good people”.
It just passed unnoticed by everybody.
The “fine people hoax” mostly ends up being a hoax on the people who pull it, when KARMA comes around. Only WEAK people – like China Joe Biden – either USE or FALL FOR the “fine people hoax”.
TRUMP. STOOD. UP. FOR. THEM. He stood up for leftist peaceful protesters.
Just like he stands up for us.
We don’t DESERVE a man like Trump.
I have TEARS in my eyes as I write that.
Trump is HISTORY GRADE, and WE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT.
Whether it’s really “goodbye” to Trump now, and “hello” to WEAK, WICKED, China puppet Joe Biden – or whether “Q” and the WEAK men behind it, come riding in on our innocent CHUMP DREAMS to save us from Communist China, doesn’t matter.
WE. SAVE. OURSELVES.
And if you do not have the BACKBONE to stand up to this treasonous media sliming of our great President, based on a TRICK by that wicked witch Nancy Pelosi, then you CANNOT BE IN MY ARMY.
2.
It’s weird how their images are embedded in my memory. Every one had a story why they were there.
As we started walking down Constitution Avenue, I began following a small group of other patriots who had just met. I was now separated from the group I had been talking to during Trump’s speech and those before it.
One person was a woman with short blonde hair, carrying what seemed to be a very unique flag at the event.
The Tree Flag (or Appeal to Heaven Flag) was one of the flags used during the American Revolution. The flag, featuring a pine tree with the motto “An Appeal to God” or, more usually, “An Appeal to Heaven”, was used originally by a squadron of six cruisers commissioned under George Washington‘s authority as commander in chief of the Continental Army in October 1775. It was also used by Massachusetts state navy vessels in addition to privateers sailing from Massachusetts.[1]
The design of the flag came from General Washington’s secretary, Colonel Joseph Reed. In a letter dated October 20, 1775, Reed suggested a “flag with a white ground and a tree in the middle, the motto AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN” be used for the ships Washington commissioned.[2]
The following summer, on July 26, 1776, the Massachusetts General Court established the flag of the state navy with a resolution that stated in part: “…that the Colours be a white Flag, with a green Pine Tree, and an Inscription, ‘Appeal to Heaven’.”[2]
“And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven.”[10]
She was explaining to the others that it was her desire to carry THIS PARTICULAR FLAG in the march. And yes – not only did she carry it in the march – she carried it up to the balcony at the House!
I spotted her flag at a distance numerous times during the afternoon.
My last picture of her flag showed her going up the stops on the opposite side of the balcony.
This, my friends, is true patriotism.
When I heard the fake news media and Ron Wyden calling us “domestic terrorists”, I immediately thought of this woman – whose desire was to carry THIS PARTICULAR historic flag, connected to George Washington, in Washington, DC.
I’m sorry, but these are not terrorists. They are not even “extremists”. These are the PEOPLE of the United States of America. These are people who revere and respect HISTORY.
OUR HISTORY.
Which the Bolshevik Democrat party CRAPS ON every time it can.
HOW can these people like Ron Wyden even TALK about LAW AND ORDER, when they STOLE AN ELECTION with BLATANT BOLSHEVIK CHEATING? A CRIMINAL ACT – immoral at its very core – which, through the plainly stated Bolshevik THEORY of Marxist control of the media, they KNOW they are unanswerable for?
No. WE are not “terrorists”. But YOU are CRIMINALS.
Now – let me be PLAINER THAN HELL, and maybe even PLAIN AS HEAVEN.
I TRESPASSED ON CAPITOL HILL PROPERTY AND I AM PROUD OF THAT FACT.
I follow in the steps of GREATER MEN who believed in ONE MAN, ONE VOTE.
When I was a student back in the Triassic period, and the great Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated – in my opinion as a FALSE FLAG operation by COMMUNISTS and SOVIETS – we were “forced” to read his writings.
As a young “pretend radical”, I carried a copy of one of Alinsky’s books which I never actually read, but which had a super-cool title – “Reveille For Radicals“. It went well with longish hair and acting out. But the thing is, I actually DID read Martin Luther King, Jr. I will admit that I did it because we had to, but sometimes adults just know better.
King’s most fascinating idea – to me – was that if we engaged in non-violent civil disobedience, we had to be prepared to be arrested, charged, and punished, and to accept this peacefully. Those were the DUES of non-violent civil disobedience.
Well, I am hopeful that my FIRST ARREST will be for trespassing on the steps of OUR HOUSE.
There are plenty of pictures. Here’s some help. Just add math.
When you find pictures of me, you will know it. My picture is a CELEBRATION of exactly what Martin Luther King, Jr., who I hope to meet someday, taught me.
THIS is my appeal to heaven.
3. In The Cold And Rain, We Became The Storm
A rare privilege it was indeed, for me to be in Washington, DC early, on the afternoon of January Fifth, to hear a variety of “second tier” speakers at the early rally.
The “highlight” for me was not the fiery Alex Jones, pounding his fists and looking dark and ominous, as the sputtering electrical system put him in a terrible side-lighting, until the system almost miraculously exploded and then fixed itself two-thirds of the way through his rant, calling for a return to GOD to save us.
Nor was it the showman Roger Stone, prancing about in his pin-striped zoot-suit and fedora, with Nixon victory signs raised in the air. As the “headliner”, cheers abounded for the man who ALMOST single-handedly showed us the corruption of the federal judiciary, laced with toxic, politicized “Obama judges”, which theoretically do not exist, but which are in practice a shockingly bounteous problem.
No – the highlight was ANOTHER victim of that politicized judiciary – General Michael Flynn – who like President Donald J. Trump and GENERAL George Washington, is a master of “playing from the downside”.
But let’s start at the beginning.
Unlike Wednesday, January Sixth, when the Metro was FILLED with Trump supporters, those train cars were desolate on Tuesday afternoon.
I took this picture for a reason.
I have a kind of “romantic memory” of looking down the aisle in subway and train cars. This view is a cross-cutting memory in my life – in reality – in dreams – in a gift from my wife – even in a story I never wrote down.
I emerged from the Metro at Federal Triangle. I heard loud noises and simply followed them. After so many Stop The Steal rallies with only a dozen people, or 100 people max, this group in the distance was indeed a sight to behold.
This man is the soldier who got me to General Flynn. “Saving Private Wolf”. Allow me to explain.
Disguised as a homeless person on the street, he asked for a handout, but I was instructed by Highest Command not to give him any money. I don’t know why – usually I get the OK to give money. This time I did not, and I felt a bit guilty. I could not understand why God said no. However, I have to obey HQ. I am a loyal soldier in God’s Army.
We got to talking, and the soldier passed on what he knew about the rally. I thanked him and adjusted my gear. Before I walked away, I put my hands in my pocket and felt my big bottle of sports drink. An image of William Barr shrugging with his water bottle passed through my mind, and I shrugged, pulled out my bottle and asked him if he wanted it.
He happily took it, and we smiled.
Only later did I realize that I never had to pee that afternoon, which guaranteed that I did not miss General Flynn’s short speech.
God works in wonderful ways!
As I got closer, I could see more and more people, and I could almost hear the speaker clearly. I was going to be a good day!
It was cold and cloudy, but the sky was almost bright.
Getting closer, however, the sky grew darker. The wind picked up.
I took a picture of a Betsy Ross flag, and thought of Steve!
I didn’t catch the first speaker, but I think he may have said the equivalent of “Don’t trust China – China is asshoe.” No, seriously – I came in at the end. Kinda missed it all.
Media coverage was rather sparse. This, despite the fact that the lineup included quite a few very interesting people. George Papadopoulos, for example, and his wife Simona, who is even more attractive in person!
This man influenced me very strongly. He is a pastor who frequently asked for AMEN, which of course is MY LINE!
He wears black in honor of the “black-robed regiment”. This was a derisive term coined by a British loyalist, for American colonial clergy who advocated for revolution and independence, and who were considered more of a problem than the actual rebellious colonists.
THIS LADY is now one of my favorite patriots! Christie Hutcherson of Women Fighting For America!
She was absolutely ON FIRE, and had the crowd WARMED UP from cheering, clapping, and roaring in response. She makes no bones about what is needed – REVOLUTION!
The crowd was really ready now.
RAIN!!!
This was one of the last pictures I took, before I had to get all my electronics bagged up and out of the rain and wind. The speakers were already going under umbrellas, which almost nobody else had.
The STORM was upon us!
There were several speakers, including Pastor Mark Burns, who was great. I was VERY proud of the fact that almost NOBODY left. People just bundled up the best they could and gritted their teeth.
The rain finally settled down into an annoying drizzle, and the wind picked up enough that it evaporated the wetness appreciably. Of course, that combination was also pretty darn cold.
All my sensitive gear was staying dry, but just barely, as the water was getting everywhere.
Somewhere along the way, I was surprised to hear the name of our next guest:
General Mike Flynn!
I got one picture of General Flynn at the last minute – pulling my camera out quickly and not focusing or zooming – forgetting to turn off the flash – basically one of the worst pictures of my life. I *THINK* this is it. The man is standing there with no umbrella in the rain, which you can see in the light beams if you zoom in.
General Flynn was impressively low-key, and I thought to myself – yeah – this guy really is some kind of spy. He pointed out that none of us were leaving – that we were staying right there in the cold and rain and wind, much like General Washington’s men. I have to say, THAT compliment warmed me as much as an extra layer would have, right then.
But then something happened that I did not expect. He talked about patriotism, and then he talked about our ancestors, who had fought for freedom, and our duty to them.
What came to my mind was not the ancestor who served in the American Revolution, nor the Texan who fought for the Confederacy, nor my grandfather who served in World War I.
I remembered my mom. My mother who, as a strong and resourceful teenager, led a group of fellow refugees across what is now Poland and the Czech Republic, to get to the American lines in Germany. How in what little English she remembered from early childhood, she proudly told the astonished American soldiers that she, too, was an American. And how she finally came home to America on a transport ship, and saw the Statue of Liberty, and cried at the very sight of it, along with everybody else who was returning.
And although I was smiling at the same time, I, too, was crying just a bit in the rain.
As darkness fell, we were tired and beat, standing for hours. Nothing cures that like some music that makes you want to MOVE!
The kid in the center in the white pull-over is only 16, but he had one heck of a speaking ability and a powerful message about patriotic values. We’ll be hearing more from him.
C. J. Pearson was there, too, earlier, but I don’t have any pictures of him because of the rain.
This man gave a rousing speech about the flag – all the while with his father’s own folded flag held aloft. Don’t even think about burning a flag within 100 miles of this guy!
Speaking of flags, my attention was constantly drawn to this one.
Patrick Byrne was there, and he had a GREAT elevator pitch about how the STEAL worked, and Obama’s role in it.
Look at that crowd. Nobody left. Nobody paid us a dime. We got rained on, blown by wind, our asses froze off, and we STILL stuck it out.
And THAT is what I’m talking about.
We are not “domestic terrorists”, and anybody who says so is LYING TO THEMSELVES.
We are patriots who believe not merely in this country, but in its founding purposes.
We believe in the life-saving, life-giving, and life-loving FREEDOMS which our founders so wisely chose as the best principles of enduring popular government.
We are not merely anti-tyrannical. We are pro-freedom.
And we are willing to fight in the rain, the cold, and the wind, to help defend that ideal.
So help us God.
4. Trail of Tears
The fact that this writer – descended from two of the Five Civilized Tribes later subjected to Indian removal – reveres the thundering populist President Andrew Jackson who removed them – is oddly reminiscent of why I followed Trump’s order to vacate the House grounds, where I had moments earlier defied law enforcement under his ultimate authority.
Don’t ask history to be simple. It’s not.
History is a complicated business.
Let us EMBRACE that complication, as I explain to you what I did, and why I did it.
Crossing the Senate parking lot, we entered the lawn of the House complex itself. The highly ignored “AREA CLOSED” signs around statues were my first indication that people were going “where they weren’t supposed to go”.
I had a bit of an urge to jump the barrier and take pictures of the statues, but I resisted the temptation. I still felt like respecting the signs.
What point would there be to disobeying? I could see the statues fine. The signs seemed sensible, even if humorously ignored. The rule may have been something smart like preservation, and not something stupid like COVID.
I was better than that, I told myself. I would respect the signs. I would obey.
The crowd was still moving fairly rapidly at this point. Here you can see a Confederate flag, and one of the Pine Tree flags I had been documenting.
I like the Confederate flag as part of history. I have no desire to own one. Nevertheless, I deeply respect those who DO own them, because these flags are a hard part of history to own. You must be BRAVE to openly own one. People will judge you negatively. It takes GUTS to own a Confederate flag.
Even if you call somebody who owns a Confederate flag an enemy, you are not wise if you cannot respect that enemy as BRAVE.
However, I respect the woman who carried the Pine Tree flag more.
She had a strong purpose to bring that particular flag. It was literally a mission. To me, this kind of allegiance to symbolism, to the level of personal duty, has to be respected.
Soon we came to a place where an Uncle Sam with a megaphone told us to MOVE ON toward the Capitol Building (not where he’s pointing here, but rather straight ahead). People asked where to go, and if we should go on. They asked if they were on the right path. He said we were – just move on straight ahead.toward the Capitol Building.
As we got closer, things started slowing down, and the crowd grew tighter – denser. Somewhere along the way in here, a woman moved quickly through the crowd, giving us a message. She told us that we would not have any loudspeakers, microphones, crowd leaders, or other direction on the West side of the building, and that we would have to just chant LOUDLY together on our own.
That is in fact what happened. But that is not ALL that happened.
I did not realize that the first loud explosions were actually tear gas canisters. The very first one, I thought might be fireworks – or a mechanical sound – something whipping hard like a slapping cable.
The second time I heard one, I thought it was a flash-bang, like when police are bursting into an apartment and arresting somebody. I was shocked, quite frankly. Looking ahead, nobody was close to the building that I could see. Why were they using flash-bangs?
The third explosion, I think I heard the propulsion of it, before it went off. Or maybe it was louder, or something. I don’t know what, exactly, it was about it, but it made me think it was utterly overkill. I was angered that they were launching explosives at peaceful Trump supporters simply rallying outside the Capitol Building. So as soon as it went off, I took a huge breath, reared back, and yelled “FUCK YOU!” at whoever was firing these things, in my loudest voice.
Getting closer, somebody told me it was TEAR GAS. I was shocked, quite frankly. Tear gas? REALLY?
Around that time, I crossed my first downed “Area Closed” sign.
The utter ABSURDITY of the situation struck me right then.
So – we are having a rally at the House, but we can’t even get close to it, and we’re too big a crowd for wherever the microphones and loudspeakers are, which is NOT on the most obvious side of the complex – meaning right in front of us – particularly for a big crowd – and there is not a single person to control the crowd or lead us. Not only that – we’re being hit with flash bangs or tear gas or whatever, and even the POLICE are not trying to direct us to the right spot, or talk to us out here, but are simply ENGAGING US WITH EXPLOSIVES AND CHEMICAL AGENTS from a distance?
WHAT THE FUCK?
We’re not murderous terrorists with AK-47s. We’re a bunch of guys and chicks and GRANDMOTHERS and KIDS. We look like a FOOTBALL GAME CROWD with TRUMP FLAGS.
So you can’t come down and TALK to us, but you have to shell us from wherever?
Now, at this point, my attitude was: Well, you folks sure are stupid, but I’m going to get as close as reasonable, because we’ve got a lot of people here, and we need room for the crowd. We can still do this peacefully.
However, I was DONE with their “Area Closed” fairly tale. We were there to protest the selling out of America to China by a fraudulent election, and that was it.
Getting closer, I could see people had climbed the scaffolding near the Building.
Obviously I’m not going to do that, but I’m thinking, WOW – is THAT why the tear gas? Doesn’t seem like it’s going to work, guys.
The crowd was now getting really thick and not moving at all. We were all nearly STOPPED.
However, there were some people moving, both forwards and backwards, in a kind of very thin and crooked “trail” through the crowd.
I called it the “Trail of Tears”.
At first, the trail was moving mostly BACKWARDS. Men and women and children, what I would call definite “non-combatants”, were moving BACK with tears, red eyes, drooling, and obvious effects of TEAR GAS.
Some of these were clearly families, and it was BECAUSE there were women and children and old men who could not take the tear gas, that they were retreating. Each group coming back angered me more.
Meanwhile, moving in the other direction, were small groups of almost exclusively younger men, many of them wearing similar clothes. Many had helmets, padding and goggles.
This group shown here was the “Sons of Liberty” – obviously named after the historical “Sons of Liberty” group from the American Revolution. Others were “Proud Boys” or similar – very much like the people who had protected us from BLM at our smaller “Stop The Steal” rallies.
Don’t ask me to denounce the Proud Boys. They didn’t attack anybody that I ever witnessed. I only saw them – by their mere presence – keeping satanic BLM from disrupting our prayer meetings at the Great Seal which says “WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”. Disruption and threats of violence happen when the Proud Boys are NOT there. DO THE MATH. I have thanked them personally for protecting us.
I got the impression that these groups were prepared for attacks by ANTIFA, and therefore had helmets and goggles – useful for dealing with tear gas and pepper spray.
Were they involved with any violence at the Capitol, other than defending old people like me? There should be plenty of video evidence to find the truth.
Speaking of evidence, you can see the tear gas very clearly in this picture.
This is when I decided to advance. I had seen enough. I decided that I was going to move forward by tagging along on the end of one of these groups of young men, and risk the tear gas.
I piled in behind several different groups in order to get where I wanted to go. First, I moved forward on the left of the West side, including over the low wall. That group was going left, so I followed others forward and right to get closer to the front of the crowd. At that point, I followed two women laterally across the front to the right, to get to a short wall next to stairs.
I was then pulled up onto the top of that wall, directed through some scaffolding, and up some stairs to the top of some scaffolding in front of bleachers on the right of the area.
Here is the view of my path.
I had basically advanced from the parking lot behind the big trees on the LEFT in the back, toward the trees in the upper right. Crossing a low wall running roughly from the center tower to the trees in the upper right, I then moved forward and right, until I was below this shot.
Looking down, you can see somebody negotiating the side of the stairs near where I went up, which would be down and to the left from this picture.
You can also see some people going through a door in this photo. I don’t know where the door goes, but as I said in the comments, I was not going to go there.
Here is the big picture:
And here is the bigger picture:
Some of you Senators and Representatives may call us “domestic terrorists”, but you know that is a lie, and saying it makes you liars.
I would say we were mostly “non-violent civil disobedience protesters”.
What we did outside was thousands of minor crimes. What YOU did on the inside was just one crime, but it was one of the biggest crimes in human history.
Granny Hawkins: I say that big talk’s worth doodly-squat. Now them pouches be filled with Z-pack and hydroxy. Works on every ChiCom bioweapon except anthrax.

Granny Hawkins: You can pay me when you see me again, Wolf Moon.
President Trump addressed the troops, laying out the case for overturning the election:
I will address the skunks and yellow bellies in Congress in the Daily Thread. POTUS DID try to set up the reality for us. Not everyone wanted to believe what happened would.
This is essentially a place to stash information about the MAGA/Stop the Steal Rally in Washington. This post is a place for the people who went to give us the low down on what REALLY happened as the reports are conflicting.
Please, remember, AT NO TIME should live “I am here” information should be shared. Hopefully, all of our people who attended made it out safely. Even if there is nothing else to say, please check in and let us know you are unharmed in the comments.
As for the invasion of the Capitol and driving Congress from it…the fog of war hasn’t faded, and other than the young lady who was shot and is in critical condition needing our prayers, nothing is for certain.
This is essentially a place to stash information about the MAGA/Stop the Steal Rally in Washington. This post is about the happenings on Wednesday.
For people actually travelling to Washington and there for the festivities, the boss put up a thread for pre-rally logistics. Here you go.
Please, remember, AT NO TIME should live “I am here” information should be shared. I’ll have a thread up later for stories, etc., once everyone is either home or on their way home for those who wish to share any of the above.
In the meantime, this is what is planned here at the Q Tree:
THIS is thread 2 the live thread for those of us who could not get away to at least participate in spirit if not in person.
Thread 3 will be posted late Wednesday for stories, photos, and the like from our Q-Treepers who wish to share them.
These are not to take the place of the daily threads, but to be a place to stash all the rally info.

Recently as I was praying on the way to falling asleep I was struck with how many places in the Bible are pertinent to our times (& frankly to all times). A number of passages provide encouragement for us during difficult days & reveal how God has interceded on behalf of people through the ages. Perhaps you too might be encouraged in bringing to mind God’s deliverance in days past & reminded of ways we can pray scripturally during these dark days.
I didn’t realize that the above scripture is from where God appeared to Solomon at the dedication of the Temple. It’s a fascinating read that you can find here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=II+Chronicles+7&version=NIV
Here is a pertinent part of the passage in II Chronicles 7: 13-16
13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
God has relented from destruction in the past, including against people who did not know Him. The book of Jonah reveals God as merciful to people he was going to destroy because they listened to the messenger He had sent & repented & called on Him. In the book of Hosea God reveals Himself through Hosea’s life, who was commanded to marry a prostitute & to redeem her from the slave auction when she’d left her husband to return to her whoring ways. Before destroying Sodom & Gomorrah Abraham bargained with God & He was willing to save those wicked cities if just 10 righteous people could have been found in them.
In the New Testament we see numerous examples of God’s mercy poured out through His Son Jesus. In the woman caught in adultery, possibly Mary Magdalene, He rescued her from stoning in act of astonishing justice & mercy!
John 8: 1-11, from here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208&version=NIV
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say?”6 They were using this question as a trap,in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stoneat her.”8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
In the tale of the paralytic man we see someone who is healed because of the faith of a few close friends (Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2: 1-12; Luke 5: 17-26; & John 5: 1-15, this is possibly a story of a different paralytic). Likewise in the healing of the servant of the Centurion (Matthew 8: 5-13) we see God’s healing power poured forth even from afar.
In the resurrection of the dead we see multiple examples: the valley of the dry bones (Ezekiel 37: 1-14), the son of the Shunammite woman (II Kings 4: 8-37), the Synagogue Leader’s daughter who’d died (Matthew 9: 18-26), Dorcas (Acts 9: 32-43), & of course Lazarus (John 11). There were also many dead who arose upon Jesus’ resurrection (Matthew 27: 51-53)!
Here is a music video created using Carmen’s song “Lazarus Come Forth” that artistically retells the scriptural tale of Lazarus’ resurrection of the dead. (I used to attend church with Carmen back in my Tulsa days so this song really takes me back.)
There is nothing so dead that God cannot breathe life into it!
There are scriptural representations of God’s deliverance from seeming impossible odds:
rescuing Moses from the decreed death of infant boys (Exodus 2: 1-10)
the parting of the Red Sea to allow the Israeli’s to escape Egypt (Exodus 14 & 15: 1-21)
David & Goliath (I Samuel 17)
Samson’s death & the destruction of the Philistines (Judges 16: 23-32)
the 4 lepers in the siege of Samaria (found in II Kings 6 & 7)
Daniel in the Lion’s Den (Daniel 6)
the fiery furnace (Daniel 3: 1-30)
Elijah & his servant, who was likely Gehazi, (II Kings 6: 8-23) see the hosts of heaven.
Exodus 14: 13-14
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
God opened the servant’s eyes to see that “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
II Kings 6: 15-17
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.
16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, fleshly, or human. We are strong (only) in the Lord & in the power of his might. Part of our power lies in praise & worship as we call on God to set us free!
This song recounts a number of places in scripture where worshipping God resulted in his people being set free. This is classic Petra with Greg X. Volz back in the lead vocalist slot singing “Let Everything That Hath Breath Praise the Lord”. I used to run with this song in my head, or on my walkman, way back in the day 😉
II Corinthians 10: 3-5
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Here you can find verse 4 above in all English translations: https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/2%20Corinthians%2010:4
Ephesians 6: 10-18, The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
I believe that Q Drops reference the Armor of God numerous times! These are those days that try men’s souls & we need to be armored in the Lord to withstand the evil onslaught that is incoming.
The Book of Daniel chapters 10-12 has some fascinating stuff. A passage in Daniel 10 is compelling in that it indicates that a heavenly messenger, an angel presumably, was prevented from coming for 3 weeks & it wasn’t until Michael (the archangel?) “one of the chief princes” came to assist him that he was able to break through…This may, in part, be due to the prayers of the saints, like how Frank Peretti portrayed in his breakthrough works “This Present Darkness” & “Piercing the Darkness”.
Daniel 10: 12-14
12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”
There are many places in scripture where we see evil doers come to a justified end. Here are a few:
Proverbs 26:27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
Psalm 109 the majority of this Psalm is prayers for God to visit destruction on the psalmist’s enemy & ends with God’s blessing & favor on the one whom He loves.
Proverbs 17:7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
Ezekiel 13:8 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.
We also see God restoring that which was ruined, lost, or discarded:
The 2nd Chapter of Joel especially verses 12-14
12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. 14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing— grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.
Ezekiel 36:35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.”
Isaiah 1: 21-28 could have been written just for these times!
21 See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers! 22 Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. 25 I will turn my hand against you;[b] I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. 26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. 28 But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish.
Below are some tweets that provide encouragement as we continue to press on in the battle!
I pray for a hedge of protection around Sidney, her family and friends and all involved in exposing the evil. May the armies of heaven guide, protect and secure them. May the God of love and righteousness hold you tightly and hide you from all the evil.

In dealing with fraud in Presidential election, I am mindful of Ephesians 6:12:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
I really have no time for Christians of different denominations who spend all their time attacking other Christians for having different prayers or traditions. We are in a spiritual war against Satan and his demons, not our brothers in Christ

Our President @realDonaldTrump is fighting for We The People against decades-long corrupt & evil network of rich & powerful individuals & entities who seek to control The People & steal our freedom.
Almost year ago, I came to strongly believe God created @realDonaldTrump to be President in 2016 & that he would be re-elected in 2020 to serve second term. Nothing that has occurred since that date has shaken my faith. I still believe.
Dear God our hope is in you that we will have another Spiritual Awakening in America. You will lead us and guide us to victory in your name. That you will be Glorified! In the name of Jesus our Lord and King of Kings!!
As a final thought I believe that good & godly music can assist us in breaking through darkness & give us a boost so that we can rise up & do warfare in the Kingdom of God. Obviously music is an extremely personal choice & greatly impacted by our cultural & spiritual experiences. For me personally I often keep ClassicChristian247.com playing in the background, especially when digging into to topics connected to darkness. It helps lift my spirit & focus on the Lord.
Other favorite musical supports around our home include War in the Heavenlies & The Road to Jerusalem & too many others to name. There are links to both of these entire albums (I believe) & one favorite song from each mentioned here just below.
Well may the Lord continue to guide & direct our Precious President as he continues to do so much to beat back the forces of darkness that seek to destroy him, our land, & our very world. May God protect all the Patriots going to DC or assembling at state capitols or locally. May He grant us favor & deliver us & our land from those seeking dominion & destruction. May the Lord’s will & purposes be done in these challenging days. May He show Himself strong to set us free once again. May God be glorified & may this land be renewed & restored to it’s roots of faith. In Jesus Matchless Name!
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is 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).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.
Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.
I would like to thank Joe Dan Gorman for his latest episode of Intellectual Froglegs.
It’s a good one!
I hope this is not all the Kraken that we will get…because I would like to see more.
More Kraken, please.
It was inspirational to watch Polish patriots march against the invasion of muslim fake refugees, in 2015:
There were more than “150,000” that marched that day, but they had no way of knowing the exact number. Some think it was close to a million.
Their efforts were not in vain. As a result, Poland told the EU that they would not take any muslims into their country.
The Polish Patriots changed the course of their country’s history.
Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Intrepid
‘Intrepid’ is an adjective which means…resolutely courageous; fearless; brave; not moved by danger; free from alarm; undaunted: as, an intrepid soldier.
Used in a sentence:
Our thoughts and prayers go out for our intrepid Patriots who are traveling to Washington, DC this week.
This thread is ONLY for discussion of the the upcoming rallies and marches in Washington, DC, and in particular the LOGISTICS of getting into and out of the city, staying inside or outside the city, what to bring, etc., etc., etc.
PLEASE – under penalty of deletion – keep all discussion of THE STEAL, THE COUP, or EVIDENCE of such, on the daily threads or any new threads directly concerning the cheating. Only if somebody is scheduled to SAY SOMETHING do I want to hear about THE SCHEDULE of that event.
This is all about the rallies and marches themselves – about Washington, DC and surrounding area – about getting there.
THESE EVENTS ONLY.
Things are changing – this thread will help us react to the changes.
This thread is mostly for the benefit of those going to DC, and those who wish to cheer them on or help them. This thread will soon give way to actual “rally threads”, hosted by Deplorable Patriot, during the week. Our participants ONSITE will TRY to communicate “live from DC”, but due to intense network traffic, most comms will probably be nightly info-dumps.
This builds on our prior discussion HERE, from Aubergine:
Addendum by Wolf – Current List of QTreepers Headed To DC Aubergine & Son, Mr. MAGA Mom & Son, Realsauce, grandmaintexas & DH, huskerheart & Patriot Friend, Kalbo & Wife, Wolf Moon (neither confirming nor denying) Current Total: 12
Please feel free to contribute, or to communicate publicly with other participants. I recommend discussions by GAB PM between participants, if you are planning on sharing any sensitive personal information like location, travel info, etc., which I am generally discouraging, and particularly PRIOR to arrival in DC. Use your head – be sensible.
Contact me if you have any questions. I am encouraging PRIVACY, SECURITY and AVOIDANCE OF DRAMA, yet with MAXIMUM BADASSNESS AND INFO-WARRIOR DROPPAGE. Note that P_M_T_W comms to me on HERE are private, but are NOT entirely secure because WordPress.com can see them. TRUST GAB. Participants are welcome to test out their Gab comms with me, and to make sure they HAVE Gab comms during their travels. Send me a PM on Gab chat (https://chat.gab.com)!
