God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
God is Holy, Holy, Holy
The phrase “holy, holy, holy” appears twice in the Bible, once in the Old Testament (Isaiah 6:3) and once in the New (Revelation 4:8). Both times, the phrase is spoken or sung by heavenly creatures, and both times it occurs in the vision of a man who was transported to the throne of God: first by the prophet Isaiah and then by the apostle John. Before addressing the three-fold repetition of God’s holiness, it’s important to understand what exactly is meant by God’s holiness.
The holiness of God is the most difficult of all God’s attributes to explain, partly because it is one of His essential attributes that is not shared, inherently, by man. We are created in God’s image, and we can share many of His attributes, to a much lesser extent, of course—love, mercy, faithfulness, etc. But some of God’s attributes, such as omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence, will never be shared by created beings. Similarly, holiness is not something that we will possess as an inherent part of our nature; we only become holy in relationship to Christ. It is an imputed holiness. Only in Christ do we “become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). God’s holiness is what separates Him from all other beings, what makes Him separate and distinct from everything else. God’s holiness is more than just His perfection or sinless purity; it is the essence of His “other-ness,” His transcendence. God’s holiness embodies the mystery of His awesomeness and causes us to gaze in wonder at Him as we begin to comprehend just a little of His majesty.
Isaiah was a firsthand witness of God’s holiness in his vision described in Isaiah 6. Even though Isaiah was a prophet of God and a righteous man, his reaction to the vision of God’s holiness was to be aware of his own sinfulness and to despair for his life (Isaiah 6:5). Even the angels in God’s presence, those who were crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty,” covered their faces and feet with four of their six wings. Covering the face and feet no doubt denotes the reverence and awe inspired by the immediate presence of God (Exodus 3:4–5). The seraphim stood covered, as if concealing themselves as much as possible, in recognition of their unworthiness in the presence of the Holy One. And if the pure and holy seraphim exhibit such reverence in the presence of the Lord, with what profound awe should we, polluted and sinful creatures, presume to draw near to Him! The reverence shown to God by the angels should remind us of our own presumption when we rush thoughtlessly and irreverently into His presence, as we often do because we do not understand His holiness.
John’s vision of the throne of God in Revelation 4 was similar to that of Isaiah. Again, there were living creatures around the throne crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (Revelation 4:8) in reverence and awe of the Holy One. John goes on to describe these creatures giving glory and honor and reverence to God continually around His throne. Interestingly, John’s reaction to the vision of God in His throne is different from Isaiah’s. There is no record of John falling down in terror and awareness of his own sinful state, perhaps because John had already encountered the risen Christ at the beginning of his vision (Revelation 1:17). Christ had placed His hand upon John and told him not to be afraid. In the same way, we can approach the throne of grace if we have the hand of Christ upon us in the form of His righteousness, exchanged for our sin at the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21).
But why the three-fold repetition “holy, holy, holy” (called the trihagion)? The repetition of a name or an expression three times was quite common among the Jews. In Jeremiah 7:4, the Jews are represented by the prophet as saying, “The temple of the Lord” three times, expressing their intense confidence in their own worship, even though it was hypocritical and corrupt. Jeremiah 22:29, Ezekiel 21:27, and 2 Samuel 18:33 contain similar three-fold expressions of intensity. Therefore, when the angels around the throne call or cry to one another, “Holy, holy, holy,” they are expressing with force and passion the truth of the supreme holiness of God, that essential characteristic which expresses His awesome and majestic nature.
In addition, the trihagion expresses the triune nature of God, the three Persons of the Godhead, each equal in holiness and majesty. Jesus Christ is the Holy One who would not “see decay” in the grave, but would be resurrected to be exalted at the right hand of God (Acts 2:26; 13:33-35). Jesus is the “Holy and Righteous One” (Acts 3:14) whose death on the cross allows us to stand before the throne of our holy God unashamed. The third Person of the trinity—the Holy Spirit—by His very name denotes the importance of holiness in the essence of the Godhead.
Finally, the two visions of the angels around the throne crying, “Holy, holy, holy,” clearly indicates that God is the same in both testaments. Often we think of the God of the Old Testament as a God of wrath and the God of the New Testament as a God of love. But Isaiah and John present a unified picture of our holy, majestic, awesome God who does not change (Malachi 3:6), who is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and “with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning” (James 1:17). God’s holiness is eternal, just as He is eternal. x https://www.gotquestions.org/holy-holy-holy.html

Video says Costco is best. Yes, I’ve used Costco. Really good. Don’t know if Costco does appointments. My issue with Costco is limited shops. Not in areas with smaller populations. READY ACCESS WHEN NEEDED.
Costco is followed by Discount Tire / America’s Tire. Absolutely honest, IMO.

The COVID-19 Bioweapon “Vaccines” and Dementia: Part One
First: It is crucially important for readers of this post to understand that there is no “OFF switch” in the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” None. Nobody knows exactly how long the ingredients and mechanisms of these injectables work in the body and brain of the “vaccinated” person. The longest time frame that has been found so far is at least 3 1/2 years post-final COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccination” injection: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-51c, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds mRNA, SV40, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans for At Least 3.5 Years After COVID-19 “Vaccination””, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 July 2026 (note: there are AI-generated images in this article.) Nobody knows exactly if repeated injections of a COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” start the “timing clock” over again, in terms of potential for future adverse events each time a “booster shot” is taken — or, if each new “booster shot” taken simply adds more time to the already-existing “timing clock.”

We all understand that we must live with the negative consequences of our own personal decisions. But when you coerce others into making those same decisions, the burden of responsibility becomes yours as well.
Very alarmingly, there is this article: https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/new-dementia-cases-projected-more-double-globally-2050, “New Dementia Cases To More Than Double Globally By 2050”, Tyler Durden, 14 October 2026. The paper is here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstract/2854983, “Incidence of All-Cause Dementia A Meta-Analysis”, Ashleigh S. Vella, PhD, et al.; 12 October 2026. Note: the full article is only available via subscription, institutional access, or payment. The screenshots below are from the “public view” sections of the paper; from the Key Points section (“Question” and “Findings”), and from the Abstract section (“Main Outcomes and Measures” and “Results.”) Note that there no mention regarding the role that the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” have in this scenario. This is what would be expected from Establishment Medicine (for example, the AMA.) Note also that the meta-analysis is for the year 2023 — two years after the worldwide rollout of these “vaccines”:
And, from the Zero Hedge article cited above, this screenshot with more details from the JAMA Network paper; note, again, there is no mention by either JAMA or by the CDC of the role of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in inducing dementia. While the other suggestions to avoid or lessen the chance of developing dementia are all good and worthy, there is no suggestion about avoiding these “vaccines.” Note also the reference to the “target age group” of age 55 and older; this is a prime “target age group” for being “recommended” to take said “vaccines”:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It has taken Yours Truly the better part of the last two years to begin to come to terms with the health decline and death of my brother. One has done more research into what I believe to be a prime aspect of what happened to him: the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that he took, beginning in early 2021: and, a particular ingredient in these “vaccines” (which, by the way, is present in every “descendant variant” modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” by Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2, approved by the FDA as COMIRNATY); and, by Moderna (mRNA-1273, approved by the FDA as SPIKEVAX; and, mRNA-1283, approved by the FDA as mNEXSPIKE), including the “latest 2026-2027 booster shot version” of these “vaccines” now on the market.)
The short summary: based on the 6 1/2+ years that Yours Truly has been researching and writing about the COVID-19 disaster, one is convinced that the N1-methylpseudouridine contained in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” — the “vaccines” that my brother took — destroyed the RNA in his body’s Uridine; the Uridine that would have, under normal circumstances, have detected these “vaccines” as “enemy invaders” and have signaled his immune system to eliminate them from his body. However, since his Uridine was destroyed, then replaced with N1-methylpseudouridine; in addition to the fact that these “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and directly attack the brain — the ingredients and mechanisms of these “vaccines” induced mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in my brother’s brain, which eventually precipitated the decline of his physical and mental health, leading to the diagnosis of “sudden-onset dementia” while he was under care in a nursing home for complications from a fall; which, compounded with the pneumonia that followed, led to his death.
Yours Truly starts with screenshots from this article (https://www.brandeis.edu/magazine/2020/fall/inquiry/vaccine.html, “On the Cusp of a COVID-19 Vaccine”, by Lawrence Goodman) from Dr. Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, the co-inventor (with Katalin Kariko) of the N1-methylpseudouridine found in the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”:
And, right there, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is a large part of the “no OFF switch” that was deliberately added to the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” — the N1-methylpseudouridine that DESTROYS the body’s natural Uridine and replaces it with the Weissman / Kariko’s lab-created chemical compound. And, by the way, for which invention, they were awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2023/press-release/, 2 October 2023.)
The catastrophically negative effects the of N1-methylpseudouridine in these “vaccines” are body-wide. In addition to destroying the RNA of the Uridine in the body and replacing it with the Weissman/Kariko lab-created chemical compound above, this same compound also functions as a “facilitator” in introducing the other ingredients of the “vaccines” into every cell of the “vaccinated” person’s body. The “facilitator” role is accomplished through evasion of the body’s natural immune system, which, under normal circumstances, would “recognize” the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” as an “enemy invader”: and immediately alert the body’s immune system “fighter cells” (IgG3, CD4, CD8, among others) to surround, break down, and eliminate the “enemy invader.”
**** N1-methylpseudouridine is used to “enhance” the immune-destroying mechanisms of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-66879-2_reference.pdf, “N1-methylpseudouridine enhances immunogenicity of RNA/lipid nanoparticle vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike and the model antigen ovalbumin”, Hiva Azizi, et al., 14 August 2026. Please see the following from the Introduction of this paper, below:
What we have here is a chemical compound — N1-methylpseudouridine — that was created over a number of years by Dr. Drew Weissman and Katalin Kariko; a chemical compound that was then added to the ingredients of the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna; and, which chemical compound is present in the “descendant SARS-CoV-2 variants booster vaccines” that are manufactured by the above companies. The purpose of this chemical compound in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” is to evade the “vaccinated” body’s natural immune system, which, under normal circumstances, would recognize the “vaccines” as an “enemy invader”, and then signal the immune system to break down and eliminate said “enemy invader.” This evasion is accomplished by the destruction of the RNA in the Uridine in the “vaccinated” person’s body, and its replacement with N1-methylpseudouridine. The effects of this evasion are reflected in every area of the “vaccinated” person’s body, including the brain.
What happened to my late brother, induced by repeated injections of modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”, was incremental — until the accumulation of incremental damage was more than the body and brain could deal with. Think of the millions of “vaccinated” persons who are at risk for incremental, accumulated damage induced from the injections they took of BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) or mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) or mRNA-1283 (mNEXSPIKE.)

As a young woman, living in upstate NY, thanks to a near by nuclear plant, my electric bill was $10.00/month despite electric heat. I then moved to the Boston MA area and suffered sticker shock with an electric bill of $300.00 a month! I have been a fan of nuclear power ever since.
”Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”
Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies, Author: “Population Bomb” and “Ecoscience”
Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren co-authored the 1971 Science paper “Impact of Population Growth” and the 1977 textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment with Paul and Anne Ehrlich.
”The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the worst thing that could happen to the planet.”
This is also what makes Alaska the natural home for something I have waited decades to see. I care immensely about the health of the earth, and after looking at every alternative energy option, I long ago concluded “green nuclear power” was the most viable one we had, then watched the promising designs go nowhere. The most promising is thorium: there is 3–4 times as much of it in the earth as uranium¹ (and since it occurs alongside the rare earths America is now scrambling to secure, we already extract it and then throw it away as radioactive waste), all of it can be used as fuel (rather than the 0.72% of uranium that can, which leaves behind mountains of depleted waste), the molten-salt designs it is paired with have no solid core to melt (if they overheat, the salt expands, the reaction slows, and the fuel drains into a tank without pumps), they produce far less long-lived waste, and they greatly reduce the risk of weapons proliferation, since no enrichment plants are needed.
This raises the obvious question of why it was never adopted. Simply put, the entire American nuclear complex was built as a weapons program with a civilian branch attached, and uranium was the fuel that made weapons. Oak Ridge demonstrated a working molten salt reactor in the 1960s, but in the early 1970s the Atomic Energy Commission committed the country to a plutonium breeder instead, its director Alvin Weinberg was pushed out after eighteen years for continuing to argue his reactor was the safer path, and the program was cancelled in 1973.¹,² Thorium’s low proliferation risk, now its great selling point, at the time simply meant it did not offer what the nuclear establishment wanted. After that, the industry became large enough to keep competitors from getting off the ground (mirroring what I have watched happen with countless forgotten medical technologies).
The result is that the technology now requires a supply chain that does not exist, so two things are needed: a relaxing of regulatory restrictions (which began in May 2025, when Trump signed executive orders setting a goal of quadrupling nuclear capacity by 2050 and ordering the NRC to decide new reactor applications within 18 months)¹ and a very large investment, which is now possible for the first time, as an industry has emerged that needs enormous amounts of power and is willing to pay almost anything for it. The published models place thorium power among the cheapest sources of electricity ($20–55 per megawatt hour),¹,² a fraction of what new conventional nuclear plants cost ($175–255).¹
Note: the money is already moving. The major technology companies have contracted for roughly ten gigawatts of nuclear capacity in two years,¹ and Microsoft signed a twenty-year deal to restart the Three Mile Island reactor that sat beside the one which partially melted down in 1979 (Unit 1, which closed in 2019 for economic reasons), at a price analysts estimate at roughly $110–115 per megawatt hour,¹well above the projected cost of thorium power.
The timing matters because of how long every step takes. A serious American program could have a molten salt test reactor running by the end of this decade and first commercial power in the mid-2030s, so a decision now decides the second and third waves of data centers. China already has a molten salt reactor running and a public ladder toward commercial units by 2040,¹ so if America waits until those are built to begin, it will be buying the technology rather than fielding it. A campus in Alaska that starts on stranded gas can then switch to a microreactor, then a small modular reactor, then a thorium plant, without ever raising anyone’s utility bill, and the fiber and rail built to support it will remain useful regardless of whether the AI boom lives up to its hype.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:
Bessent Takes On the IMF
13:16 — Susan Kokinda:
I think that it’s really critical for people to put this in the context of the battle between two systems. I want to focus people a little bit on something which I’m sure flew under most people’s radar screen, except for the ones who watched my show the other day, [It] is what Scott Bessent said to the International Monetary Fund… Because when you look at what Bessent did at the International Monetary Fund meeting, every leftist in the world should honestly be cheering this. But they’re not. What he did is completely challenge the fundamental premises that have run the world financial structure going back to 1971 and which has allowed the global financier elite to loot nations, destroy nations, [and] prevent third-world countries from developing. [To] gut advanced sector nations like ours by eliminating the middle class and the working class, creating what the Democrats hope is a perpetual class of poor people. [People] that they can throw some crumbs to and so on while Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have hundreds of millions of dollars…
So, what are the three things that Bessent challenged? First of all, he challenged the core principle of the IMF, which is the way you get out of debt is you cut the budget. And Bessent stood his ground in direct opposition to the head of the IMF… Bessent said, “No, it is growth that is going to solve our problems, and everything we are doing is unleashing that kind of growth.” Second, he had a very subtle reference, but it was definitely there, to the problem of deregulated currencies, floating exchange rates. and said, “This has be addressed in terms of creating perpetual imbalances.
That has been one of the key weapons that the global bankers have used, especially to keep the third world backward. They control currency prices through speculation because we took the dollar off the gold reserve standard. They control commodity prices through the City of London. And the net result of that has been the perpetual unneeded backwardness of many developing sector nations.
Another tool in the bankers’ toolkit, in the globalists’ toolkit, has been the green agenda and being anti-nuclear. And Bessent took that on directly. He said, “Cut it out. Stop making your decisions from hostility to oil and gas.” But even more important, he pledged the the United States to start putting money into a nuclear development fund for the third world. You know how many nuclear loans the World Bank has made since 1959? One, and that was to Italy.
That’s it. But plenty of solar panels, plenty of windmills, plenty of pails so that people can carry water 5 miles from where they are, and so on. So, this was a direct challenge to the underlying premises of this globalist financier elite at that level.
Obviously this administration is doing the same thing domestically because it’s been a lot easier to liberate ourselves than it is to liberate the rest of the world where we’re not the only sheriff in town, although we’re an important one. What the president has done is thrown out the green mandates, challenged the traditional orthodox Republican position that the only way you can get out of the deficit and debt crisis is by cutting. And making very clear, “No, we are going to grow your way out.” And third, by actually unleashing the productive power and base of the United States.
So, on both fronts, what you have is this administration internationally and domestically… is the biggest challenge to the control of the British Imperial financial elite system — it’s generic name is globalization. You know, we see the World Economic Forum, we have the modern names like George Soros and Klaus Schwab and all the rest of them, but this is simply the British Imperial system that we’ve been in a fight [with]. The Ukraine conflict, which Barbara described, has been one of the key strategic cornerstones of that. Because… to challenge this globalist financier system, you need the other major superpowers on your side. You need Russia, you need China, you need India, you need Japan. Those are pretty much the big ones. And what the president is doing with his team is creating the conditions where these nations, as sovereign nations, can join United States in preliminarily solving some of these immediate problems, like the wars, preliminarily begin uncorking a certain level of development, but I think ultimately what this administration intends is an entirely new international financial system. So, you know, I think it’s important to keep that in mind as we go into the final 10-day countdown for the midterms.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:
Scott Bessent, the Big Gay Patton [giggle]
36:32 — Rich:
it’s the first time in history where a secretary treasury secretary hasn’t attended an IMF meeting. So what’s that about? And the IMF is a proxy of the city of London…
37:27 — Susan Kokinda:
They first applied their playbook to the developing sector, then they applied it to post Soviet Russia, and then they applied it to the advanced sector. And ironically, it was Russia that said no first. And now we have Donald Trump saying no, we’re not going to play British liberal economics…
Then Bessant sent a written speech to the IMF
… when I read his speech yesterday, what he said about the developing sector and that what the United States is doing is it’s increasing its contribution to a nuclear development fund for the third [world] for the developing sector. [Those are] the real fighting words. Right?
Because the City of London, the imperial system, the most cardinal rule in their playbook is you do not let the developing sector actually develop. You keep it backward. You know the famous Barack Obama statement, “oh well, if people in Africa all had air conditioning in cars, the climate would boil over.” No, you stay backwards. you keep burning wood for fuel.
This is something that Chris Wright, the energy secretary, is very passionate about. He talks about a million preventable deaths every year because so many people are still using wood and dung, to cook on. Whereas if they had modern energy, you would see, an increase in the standard of living. Well, nuclear power isn’t just modern energy because when you go over the past 30, 40 years, every time you see a developing sector leader wanting to push nuclear power, they usually end up dead or out of power or in exile. Starting with the Shah of Iran, who at a certain point said, “All right, I don’t just want to be a gas station for British petroleum.” You know, I want to develop my country. Boom… You just go on and on and on. Every time a third world leader actually wanted to develop his country using advanced nuclear power boom that was it.
For Bessant to make this explicit, the question of nuclear power for the developing sector this is like the gunfight at the OK Corral….
41:34 — Tom Luongo:
…Why do you think they’re blowing up oil refineries?
They’re doing it now in the first world. This is the thing that bothers me…
I read an article about the Exxon Mobile refinery in Illinois that was shut down for quote “an unknown electrical failure,” unquote. Now, I read that coming out of Reuters .. and I’m like, “Oh, yeah.” Like they would not report that attack, that shutdown, that way if they weren’t covering up the fact that it was external action against one of our oil refineries.. but clearly whoever did do it was politically untenable at that moment in time. So this is the classic MI6 thing. We know that you know that we know that you know we did it and we also know that you can’t tell anybody that we did it because that would make you look crazy. So therefore, we get to do it.
[After all what is Trump going to do? Declare overt war on the UK? Makes you wonder about all those food plant fires too. — GC]
…We’re watching this more and more. And we’re going to continue to watch them do this. And that’s going to be our biggest tail risk to deal with this low-level constant drag. [The] monkey wrenching on the physical economy… They’re moving away from physical choke points and the maritime world the straits of Malaka the straits of whatever and now they’re moving to the other choke points. They’re moving from upstream choke points which is the drilling of oil and the early stages of moving the oil to refining. Now they’re moving to mid-stream and downstream and they’re attacking that aspect of the market.
So as we deregulate the energy markets around the world in order to bring everybody out of poverty, that’s the fight right now.
46:27 — Rich:
…And then the nuclear power deal, I just recorded a video with Ghost from Badlands Media. So, we’re talking about Saudi Arabia, the history of Saudi Arabia, and getting on to Mohammed bin Salman who’s doing deals with Russia to build nuclear power stations in Saudi Arabia, and it looks like he’s going to get away with it because London is a waning power.
Susan Kokinda:
You can even go back to the to the 1970s. Richard Nixon’s first Secretary of State, William P. Rogers, had come out of the Eisenhower administration. Of course, Eisenhower was Atoms for Peace. But, Rogers’ approach to the Middle East was nuclear power development as the basis for economic cooperation in the entire region. And of course, he got canned, and Henry Kissinger took on the dual portfolio of National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. Of course, we have the wonderful symmetry today that Marco Rubio wears the same two hats. [laughter] But, from the completely opposite side of what they’re trying to do.
But, yeah, this question of nuclear power is something where you see the hand of the empire in its most brutal and Saudi Arabia working with Russia, just gives you the picture. This is an entirely new world which is flying beneath most people’s radar screens. But it is the much more fundamental change that’s going on in the world. You know, not the little laundry list. Donald Trump isn’t doing anything because he didn’t do… I had the feeling of someone watching somebody, on the Gong Show. He didn’t do this gong. He didn’t do that gong. I mean he’s bringing down the globalist system, you idiots.
49:02 — Tom Luongo:
I was thinking about this the other day. Every time we bring up this thing about nuclear power… I just think back to the story of Oak Ridge and thorium molten salt and how that was destroyed. I don’t know how that got done under the Kennedy. It was I think done under Kennedy… but they were beginning the process, right? Thorium molten salt ends all of this nonsense because then we don’t have the uranium 233 cycle, doesn’t produce any plutonium. It just produces a surfeit of neutrons and a lot of power and no nuclear waste.
And there’s enough thorium in the seawater that you can ream it up off the Florida coastline and then ship it over to Crystal River… I’ve watched a lot of and talked to a lot of people who were involved in this. That research was not only buried, it was meant to be destroyed completely and it got saved at the last moment. It’s like a spice. It’s like one of these stories that if you were to listen.. There’s a great documentary out there about this. A three and a half or four hour documentary about it and you listen to the story that’s been told about how this information got saved, right? You’re like, nah, that can’t possibly happen that way, but it did because it was the perfect intersection of government perfidy and government incompetence.
So, they just shut the program down and they mothballed it all and then no one was allowed to deal with it and and they were getting around to destroying all the research, all the notebooks and all of this and all of it, but they never got around to it because someone got fired and it wound up in a room somewhere. Then somebody found it all and now the Russians have a pilot plant, the Chinese have a pilot plant, other people [India –GC] are working on it and it’s 20 still 20 years out. We still have a lot of work to do, but imagine if we hadn’t lost those 60 years of metallurgy and and all the chemistry that was necessary to develop the right fluids and the metallurgy in order to create the containment vessels and everything.
As a chemist I know it’s a very aggressive environment. So, that’s another way of saying highly corrosive and highly unstable. And so, if you want to build a 50 year duty cycle reactor system that can, run steady state for 50 years, there’s still a lot of basic materials work that has to be done in order to get us to that point and to scale it up to a reasonable level. But there’s so many angles on this. And they know that once energy is free at that level, and in fact free, they don’t have a choke point anymore.
52:00 — Susan Kokinda:
The sabotage, when I first went to DC for their predecessor organization, one of the first fights we waged was to try and save the Clinch River breeder reactor. If you can reprocess the fuel, you don’t have the waste problem. The waste problem was one of the key things the environmentalists used to have everybody’s hair on fire and everybody’s clear and blah blah blah blah. And we lost because what you had was an alliance between the environmentalist movement and the right-wing budget cutters. That’s what killed the Clinch River breeder reactor. It is sort of like your uni-party. Then you had the sabotage of fusion, which went on for years and years and years. Finally, enough private sector kept it going, and now this administration is encouraging it. We should have had it 30 years ago talking about virtually free energy. This is this has been the the critical component of the imperial playbook. You have to prevent economic development, which means you prevent the energy. So, the choke points, the money, and so on. But the new technologies, which make your choke points completely irrelevant, make blowing up refineries irrelevant. If you’ve got these new kinds of technologies, and that’s what’s being unleashed.

15 years ago, when I first hear of them, the Lightbridge Corporation was very interested in thorium as a fuel source. Lightbridge was originally founded in 1992 as Thorium Power, Ltd., showing it’s original focus on thorium-based nuclear fuels. Since then it has shifted focus to producing metallic nuclear fuel alloy designed for use in existing and future light water reactors. This includes the Special HALEU fuel now purchased from Russia.
“High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) is nuclear fuel enriched to contain between 5% and 20% uranium-235, serving as the critical fuel source for mostnext-generation small modular reactors(SMRs) and advanced nuclear designs.” — Brave AI
15 year old 4 minute video note reference to Obama.
Va., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lightbridge Corporation (“Lightbridge” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LTBR), an advanced nuclear fuel technology company, today announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the Eurasian Patent Office for its innovative multi-zone nuclear fuel rod design. Specifically, this patent covers methods and apparatus for fabricating fuel rods using additive manufacturing techniques, enabling the creation of distinct radial and axial zones with varying compositions of refractory metals and alloys, as well as fuel materials, such as zirconium alloys combined with uranium, plutonium, or thorium.
Centrus and Lightbridge will work towards creating high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) based fuels. HALEU fuel contains uranium enriched to 5-20% uranium-235 (higher than the 3-5% typically used in light water reactors). It is required by most of the advanced reactor designs being developed under DOE’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP).
Centrus President & CEO Daniel B Poneman said: “Our plant in Ohio is the only HALEU production plant in the world outside of Russia and would be an ideal site for Lightbridge’s proposed facility. Since Lightbridge Fuel has the potential to bring HALEU and its benefits to the existing fleet of reactors, this partnership holds the potential to significantly expand the market for HALEU.” …
Lightbridge is developing Lightbridge Fuel, a proprietary next-generation nuclear fuel technology for existing light water reactors and pressurised heavy water reactors, which it says will significantly enhance reactor safety, economics, and proliferation resistance. The Company is also developing Lightbridge Fuel for new small modular reactors (SMRs).
May 27, 2025 interview with Lightbridge (LTBR) CEO, Seth Grae. (14 minutes)
Lightbridge (LTBR) CEO, Seth Grae, says nuclear power will be a leading energy source to power electricity in the coming year. He sees the U.S. moving from 19% nuclear power usage now to 50% in years to come. Seth talks about how Lightbridge plays a role in nuclear’s rising popularity and how it’s tied to powering the A.I. trade. He later talks about the company’s partnership with Oklo Inc. (OKLO).
I am happy to see that Lightbridge has survived and is doing well.

God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
The Holiness of God
In Christian theology, the word holy has two meanings. The holiness of God refers to the unparalleled majesty of His incomparable being and His blameless, faultless, unblemished moral purity (Isaiah 6:1–5; Revelation 4:1–8). Holy also refers to something or someone that has been separated from the common or set aside for God’s use. As an example, Belshazzar profaned the holy temple vessels—those set aside for use by God’s priests—by drinking toasts to his idols (Daniel 5:2–4). Belshazzar’s abuse of these holy artifacts made him guilty of sacrilege.
Unlike His created beings, God is eternal, preeminent, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He was, is, and will be before all things. He is ageless, tireless, and faultless. He is beyond full human comprehension. Indeed, our language lacks the superlatives necessary to justly describe Him. Drawn to Him for His unequaled goodness and majesty, the psalmist wrote, “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1, ESV). Nothing or no one satisfies like God, for He is altogether lovely to behold. Earthly treasures will pass away, but the Lord is our great reward and inheritance (Joshua 13:33).
And yet the holiness of God presents something of a dilemma in the hearts and minds of mortal man. We are drawn to Him, for it is He who has made us (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 100:3), but as inherently flawed creatures, we also cower in the all-revealing light of His majestic glory. Just as the Israelites trembled in fear when God appeared to Moses on the mountain in Sinai, we prefer keeping God safely at arm’s length (Exodus 20:18–21). These ambivalent feelings of attraction and dread brought about by the holiness of God are illustrated in the following passage:
“In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!’ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: ‘Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!’” (Isaiah 6:1–5, ESV).
In the numinous presence of the Lord, the prophet Isaiah stood in awestruck wonder, yet the holiness of God caused him to recoil in reverential fear. Similarly, the prophet Daniel and the apostle John demonstrated the same emotional mixture of attraction and dread when ushered into the presence of their majestic Creator (Daniel 8:17; Revelation 1:17).
John wrote, “And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, ‘Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed’” (Revelation 15:2–4, ESV).
To the redeemed in heaven, the holiness of God is no longer a mystery. In a unified voice of praise, the citizens of heaven declare in Revelation 15 that
• God is the author of great and mighty deeds • God is just and true in His ways • God is the King of all nations • God is deserving of our reverential fear and innermost respect • God is to be glorified • God alone is holy • God will not be denied worldwide worship and adoration • God’s ultimate righteousness will be made manifest
While the holiness of God is much too broad a topic for a single article, below are some key verses that will aid the reader’s understanding:
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain” (Exodus 20:7, ESV).
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name’” (Matthew 6:7–9, ESV).
“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite’” (Isaiah 57:15, ESV).
“There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed” (1 Samuel 2:2–3, ESV).
“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:13–16, ESV).
“I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed” (Psalm 71:22–23, ESV).
The holiness of God should stir our hearts to continual praise and adoration. We delight in Him, for in Him is our ultimate purpose and reason for being (Jeremiah 29:11). No one living apart from God is truly whole. To those who believe, He gives Himself. God is more than a means of achieving a transitory desire or worldly goal, for He is our greatest good. God is an end in Himself.
Though God is worthy of our highest respect and reverential fear, He is neither distant nor aloof (James 2:23). He desires intimacy with us. Despite the sins we have committed, the frequent folly of our thinking, the bouts of pride that stain our character, and the shameful lapses in our faith, God welcomes us with open arms through the redemptive work of His Son, Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:8–9). It is remarkable that we may approach God as a friend, but we are never to consider Him as our equal.
God’s desire for intimacy with us is not a point to be overlooked. Those who have placed their faith in Christ Jesus as Savior He lovingly adopts as sons and daughters (Ephesians 1:5) and encourages them to call Him “Father” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). That a holy and blameless God could cherish such dirty-faced orphans, “children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3), is nearly unimaginable, yet through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, the vile and profane are transformed into beloved children and the cherished objects of His most tender affections (1 John 1:7).
We will not achieve holiness or sinless perfection on this side of eternity, but our lives should reflect the immaculate purity of God. The Lord Jesus called us to be “the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). Salt is a preservative, and in these days of moral degradation, may we not be conformed to the behavior and thinking of this decaying planet; rather, may we be ambassadors of Christ and agents of transformation and renewal (2 Corinthians 5:20; Romans 12:2). By imitating the holiness of God, we bring honor to Him and comfort to others.
God is holy. In Him, there is not even the faintest trace of evil. He is impeccably pure, wholly without fault, and uncompromisingly just. God cannot lie. He cannot make wrong decisions. He is blameless, timeless, and sinless. By contrast, we are flawed beings tainted by sin (Isaiah 53:6; 1 John 1:8). By all rights, a holy and righteous God must judge sinners, and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23); thankfully, we can escape the wrath of God by placing our trust in Christ Jesus as Savior (Hebrews 2:3). Were it not for the gospel of Jesus Christ, the holiness of God would be mankind’s greatest fear, for no sinner can stand in the presence of His blinding glory. But, through a simple act of faith, those who believe in Jesus as Savior have been pardoned (Matthew 9:6). To the lost the holiness of God is a dreadful matter, but to the redeemed the holiness of God is our greatest good. x https://www.gotquestions.org/holy-God-holiness-of-God.html

“If they had such conclusive evidence we were wrong, they’d probably put it online! All they can say is we disagree about some names? Tell us! They think we’re right and they’re trying to RUN OUT THE CLOCK and we won’t let that happen.” LA County is as corrupt as it gets. These traitors are literally trying to count THOUSANDS of noncitizen votes to cancel out Americans California spent months fighting DOJ to keep its voter rolls hidden. Now that the feds found possible problems, the state’s answer is basically “trust me bro” DO NOT COUNT THOSE BALLOTS. We might need SCOTUS!

JUST IN: The Trump administration is offering El Salvador FULL SUPPORT as right-wing President Nayib Bukele surges special forces into Haiti to rescue four of his soldiers taken by gangs BUKELE is a great ally to the US, so we are returning the favor!
Gangs ambushed the four Salvadoran aviation technicians on Sunday According to Ambassador Mike Waltz, they hit the armored vehicle with hundreds of rounds and explosives, but officials believe all four SURVIVED. Bukele has now sent around 200 special operations troops, and he had a message for the gangs: “We’ve already finished off the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish off yours too.”

UPDATE: Kaylub Giamanco, the dad who killed the Bend, Oregon school shooter, gives credit to the unarmed TEACHER who fought the gunman with her BARE HANDS
“I want to recognize HER. SHE gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life…That’s a real TRUE hero, to not have a weapon and to put yourself in between your babies and a firearm.”
This man is pure selfless. Give him a medal of freedom!
Police say she threw her PHONE at the 16-year-old gunman, then tackled him and fought for the gun. That gave Giamanco the shot he needed
When the gunman went for his weapon again, Giamanco fired two more times “to make sure that he couldn’t move”
He saved countless lives, and he’s still apologizing: “I want to apologize for not saving their babies.”
Man, this guy is a hero with a heart of gold.

HUGE: Former Clarence Thomas clerk John Yoo reveals Ilhan “Omar” Nur Said Elmi must be EJECTED FROM CONGRESS as soon as it’s proven she’s operating as a citizen under false information
“This is NOT a laughing matter, no matter how much the Congresswoman is GIGGLING on TV.”
“The minute that it’s discovered that she either filed false naturalization papers or was part of conspiracy to do so, she’s not a citizen and she has to be ejected from Congress immediately, and she really was never legitimately elected to Congress for the last few years.”
The Constitution requires House members to have been citizens for at least seven years. If her citizenship was obtained by fraud, she never met that requirement!
A DOJ filing already referred to her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.” When she was asked whether she’s related to Elmi, her answer was “not to my knowledge,” but the evidence is AGAINST HER
IT’S HAPPENING.
Time for Speaker Johnson to take the steps to disqualify her on the name ALONE

The AMA and “Ethics of AI in Health Care”
Today’s offering discusses the newest “innovation” of the American Medical Association (AMA): a new Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) devoted to AI and health care. The new journal’s website is here: https://jamanetwork.com/channels/ai, “JAMA+ AI.” Please see the opening statement by founding editor of JAMA+ AI, Dr. Roy H. Perlis, MD, MSc, from the above-linked website:
The AMA has offered CME (Continuing Medical Education) courses for some time now that are related to the use of artificial intelligence / “large language models” / “machine learning” in healthcare, via its website (https://www.ama-assn.org/.) As of spring 2027, the new “JAMA+ AI” journal will officially begin. The incoming editor of the new journal, Dr. Roy H. Perlis, MD, MSc, was just named as the Director of the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Perlis is already associated with Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Medical School (https://medschool.ucsf.edu/news/announcing-roy-h-perlis-md-msc-director-bakar-computational-health-sciences-institute, 29 September 2026.)
However, there are already articles appearing on JAMA related to the new journal, to using AI in multiple areas of healthcare providing, and more. Three examples of such articles: first, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2855492, “Engaging With Medical Evidence in the Age of AI”, Rohan Khera, MD, MS, et al., 15 October 2026; second, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2855491, “Clinician Use of an Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Clinical Information Platform”, Vishal R. Patel, MD, MPH, et al., 15 October 2026; and, third, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2855161, “Avoiding a 2-Tier AI Ecosystem in Health Care”, Brett Moran, MD, et al., 16 October 2026. Following are two screenshots from the article by Khera, et al.:
Note the mention of heavy (“disproportionate”) use by “newly-minted” physicians. Following are three screenshots from the Patel, et al., article:
Note, in the Table above, the four areas under subcategory “Clinical decision-making”; the five areas under the subcategory “Clinical knowledge”; and, the “Guidelines” area under the subcategory “Evidence.”
Finally, two screenshots from the Moran, et al., article:
All of the above bring up questions, among them:
How will Medical Doctors — Physician Assistants — Osteopaths (they are licensed as doctors of osteopathy [DOs]; they can diagnose, prescribe, and create treatment plans for patients, as do medical doctors [MDs]; DOs have the rights and privileges that MDs enjoy) — Nurse Practitioners, and other licensed healthcare professionals who diagnose, prescribe, order tests, and create treatment plans — be trained to use AI-generated information as an adjunct to their work, as opposed to using AI-generated information as the template basis of their work?
What about the proposal, outlined above in the Moran, et al., article, regarding the implementation of a “government-wide AI watchdog and information-sharing platform” under the control of CMS, for example?
Can such an “AI watchdog and information-sharing platform” become a “one size fits all” approach to patient encounters and patient care? If so, what does this do to the individual healthcare provider’s ability to, for example, prescribe a drug for an “off-label” use to treat a particular patient?
What would such an “AI watchdog” framework do to care provided in hospital or nursing home settings?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The use of AI-generated systems for use in healthcare settings is increasing rapidly over the entire spectrum of medicine. It is Yours Truly’s opinion that, while AI-generated information systems may eventually become a tool to assist the provider in assessing and treating a patient, they should not be used as a template for a “one size fits all, follow the steps outlined on the AI-generated program and stay with that” approach.

A bipartisan group of 12 U.S. senators has urged President Donald Trump to reverse his decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports, calling the move a betrayal of Ukraine that damages American security interests while doing little to lower fuel prices.
In a letter sent October 13, the senators argued that allowing Russia to sell diesel freely on global markets will fund Moscow’s military operations in Ukraine and its security cooperation with China, Iran, and North Korea, while also endangering U.S. service members involved in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. war with Iran. They pressed Trump to impose additional sanctions under legislation named for the late Senator Lindsey Graham that he signed into law last month.
Signatories include Richard Blumenthal, Thom Tillis, Jeanne Shaheen, Susan Collins, Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lisa Murkowski, Jack Reed, Chris Coons, Mitch McConnell, and John Cornyn. The October 9 announcement reportedly blindsided Ukraine and European allies and has reignited public friction between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of the November midterms.
Trump has defended the deal as beneficial for American consumers, writing on Truth Social, “I made the right choice for the American People – ALWAYS, AMERICA FIRST!”
According to Axios, the decision followed Zelensky’s rejection of multiple U.S. requests to halt Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, which Trump has blamed for rising gas prices.
Trump has also suggested it is “time for Ukraine to get a new president,” noting that Zelensky’s five-year term expired in May 2024 and that he has not called elections, citing martial law imposed after the escalation of the conflict with Russia.
The British Republicans are coming! The British Republicans are coming!
I can’t help but feel like we are on the cusp of a great revolution. It’s a feeling that we’ve all felt for the past ten years—waiting for the other shoe to drop—and it feels like it’s finally here.
Many in our ranks have grown cynical over the perception of inaction and stagnation, but what I’ve come to realize is that the things that we’ve all been waiting for (arrests, tribunals, retribution) concern things that are fake.
The reality in which we have all lived was a construct, the public figures were merely characters on a stage, and the vapid culture they foisted upon us was nothing more than a commodity.
I’m not saying that retribution against certain entities is unimportant. But I do think we have tricked ourselves into believing that exacting justice on those people and institutions would somehow lead to an overnight transformation into a new world where the corruption of the old world was so well understood that it became immediately obsolete, and as a result, the broken systems of that era would collapse under the weight of harsh scrutiny and simply fall away.
It’s still possible (and perhaps necessary) that these things will happen, but that will not inherently usher in the Golden Age, no matter how eager and optimistic we all are for real change.
The revolution has been a slow burn. It’s been happening all around us at such a glacial pace that you almost can’t perceive it. But it’s there.
We’ve all been eagerly waiting for that climactic moment where we witness the drama explode and tear a hole in the fake reality, ending the decades-long control matrix and freeing the people from Plato’s Cave. We have been waiting for the Hollywood version of revolution, which would herald in the Golden Age.
What has actually happened has been much more powerful.
Instead of being led to the truth, many people have been forced to go discover it.
Often times, these discoveries are a direct challenge to the status quo, forcing people to re-evaluate everything they have ever been told.
What happens if the Republican Party wins the fake election, but then chooses to prosecute and impeach President Trump over his connections and dealings with foreign leaders?
What happens if the GOP (or at least its leadership) chooses to impeach Trump?
What effect would that have on all the people who have insisted that we support the GOP in the voting booth no matter what they do?
Would election integrity even matter at that point? If the quality of the candidates is that abysmal?
Would people continue to grovel at the feet of the GOP?
We don’t need a revolution in the streets. We need a revolution in the hearts and minds of Americans.
The death rate is PLUNGING, as the pull-forward effect from Covid finally kicks in. Gee, now that old folks are skipping their annual mRNA jabs, deaths are down? Who would have guessed?
Alex Berenson the author of the above had another article of interest in 2022:
A well-designed randomized controlled trial out of Malaysia showed it actually increased the risk of progression to severe Covid by 25% (the results were not statistically significant).
Sorry, folks. There are no magic bullets. (At least it doesn’t cause myocarditis.)
The Malaysian ivermectin trial: what does it really show?
JAMA Internal Medicine has published the Malaysian I-TECH open-label randomized trial of ivermectin, comprising a total of 490 patients. The trial found no significant benefit of ivermectin regarding disease progression or death. But things are more complex than this.
On the positive side, the trial included mostly participants with an elevated risk of severe covid (50+ with comorbidities). But on the negative side, 68% of the participants were already vaccinated (52% were double vaccinated), leaving only 159 unvaccinated participants. Moreover, treatment began on average 5.1 days after symptom onset, and mostly in patients already hospitalized.
Thus, most of these patients would not even have been eligible for the covid drug trials run by Pfizer (Paxlovid) and Merck (Molnupiravir), which required unvaccinated outpatients and a treatment delay of no more than 3 days (or 5 days at most), since swift action is crucial against a viral disease.
To make matters worse, the primary endpoint of the Malaysian study was hypoxia (95% oxygen saturation), an endpoint that was reached on average already 8 days after symptom onset or just 3 days after start of treatment, i.e. before the treatment was even completed (5 days).
Thus, the study was “designed to fail”: “The study design was such that any other antiviral, such as Paxlovid or Molnupiravir [or monoclonal antibodies], would also have failed.”
Interestingly, if one considers the secondary endpoint of 28-day in-hospital mortality, ivermectin once again showed an apparent benefit: 3 deaths (1.2%) vs 10 deaths (4.0%) overall and 1 death (1.3%) vs. 4 deaths (4.8%) in the unvaccinated subgroup, but the study was too small to reach statistical significance (risk ratio 0.31, p=0.09). Regarding ICU admission and ventilation, too, the ivermectin group showed a non-significant 20% to 60% advantage.
In addition, more people in the ivermectin group quickly progressed to hypoxia (21.6% vs. 17.3%; difference is not significant), which indicates that patients in the ivermectin group may have been in worse shape to begin with (but, after treatment, showed rather lower mortality)…
A very nice dissection showing how Big Pharma lies and why you need to read the actual paper if you can instead of just a blog author’s interpretation. That is why PAVACA is so valuable!
The Cave: An Adaptation of Plato’s Allegory in Clay (3 minutes)
The Cabal has tried to keep Americans in Plato’s cave. However more and more are escaping.
As many of you read this, we will be enjoying most excellent adventure known as the Fall Frolic in the lowcountry. As time permits I will return to post responses. I look forward to your comments.
Today’s thread is about two subjects with interconnections that run in parallel with one another. As one goes, so goes the other. Many who read my stories will spot that as a recurring literary theme. There is even the added flavor of a long standing Club Senate uniparty member holding We the People hostage to help enforce the status quo of an industry’s wannabe tyrants; a situation I will introduce at the end of today’s story.
The current states of institutionalized education and MAGA driven deportation are connected hand and glove. For the black hats, one is an enemy in their desire to use the other to undermine and help them dominate America. The first link below was provided by TheseTruths in a recent Daily thread. The second is more recent.
It is happening all over. I cannot help but smile about the local impact in east TN as folks discuss it in our communities. Nationwide the teachers and administrators as well as their associations and union leaders are concerned about the loss of jobs and power nationwide. The school system administrators are concerned about the loss of funding. The pandering politicians are concerned their campaign funding coffers are drying up along with the leftist votes. The publishers are feeling the pinch of people being over the woke Language Arts narratives as well as fake Science and History.
The fact is they have used our love of children to control We the People for far too long. In all of those red counties on the American map that dominate our landscape, there are two iconic institutions that attract the attention of the vast majority of residents; schools and churches. They are the glue that hold communities together. Both have been under horrific attacks for decades. It has come to the point that it is rare to see any large metro area with a sense of community anymore.
In the MAGA red areas, the two are very intertwined. Generally speaking, how one goes so goes the other. The commie tyrants know this and have established institutionalized education to undermine the God given natural rights ascribed to all of us in our founding documents. They use DEI, woke, support for sexual perversion, etc, to contaminate the minds of our children. If the laws are changed to end their “programs”, they continue them quietly or under other names. They have also infiltrated many denominations and churches through higher education and seminaries using the same tactics. This has led to some families and communities losing the cohesiveness of being united. People seem to have forgotten how to disagree without being disagreeable azzhats. We the People have come under siege when you add in the decline of industry and economic might, otherwise known as having good paying jobs, with the rise of Chyna and other totalitarian governed nations.
The good news is that is ending. MAGA and the Trump Administration are over target and figurative stealth bombers are obliterating the targets just like the real ones did in Iran.
🎯
Oh well. It sucks for them and is great for the rest of us.
Also provided by TT below – Marco with the assist;
In contrast, with the increased deportations MAGA citizens are all happy to see no increases in taxes and bond issues to vote on for expanding school facilities due to overcrowding and ineffective teaching. They are happy to see American English spoken most everywhere with less crime, illegal drugs, vagrants, and bad drivers. They are enjoying the loss of packed drunken rat houses with foreign flags and bad hispanic music blaring. Our attention has now turned to rooting out Islamic BS with Sharia Law and blaring calls for prayer to their fake god. Some are more comfortable their kids can go out into their neighborhoods and play safely. More feel they can sit out on their front porches, visit with neighbors and enjoy the evenings without fear of being attacked or shot.
Soon there will be far fewer parents dealing with the effects of autism and other learning disabilities of their precious children as states revamp their jab regulations relating to public school enrollment. As it stands many parents have been opting out due to religious views.
Many are noticing state cumulative comprehensive English and Math scores rising again after years of decline. As they rebound the need for taxpayer paid assistants, tutors and teachers of summer school reduces. All of which makes families happy not to have their summer vacations and plans messed up by the unresponsive, dimwitted education industry hacks and their supportive politicians who make bank off the mess. Who knew that removing children of illegals who could not speak English well from public schools could accelerate a reduction in the dumbing down and distractions from classrooms to go with reducing expenses and calls for tax increases?
Well, actually, many of us in MAGA country.
Possibilities
If things keep progressing the next thing you know even more sanity may be introduced; such as public schools not starting until after Labor Day like Back In Our Day When American Education Was King and Led The World. That will include reducing all of the teacher conference and in-service days, long breaks and vacations, and many fake inclement weather and illness cancellations that create longer school calendar years. They might even use long existing technology that provides for students to do their studies at home during closures. Yes – use homeschooling style methods. Which also demonstrates the great benefit of the freedom of schedule, thought, and expression that homeschooling provides; something these egotistical wannabe tyrants fear. Yet, I realize that some families cannot do homeschooling for many valid reasons. However, they can receive some of the same benefits technology provides.
Maybe, just maybe, if PDT and patriots really do provide that $9 K stipend back to families for a parent/guardian to take care of kids at home as was done frequently Back In Our Day before overburdening citizens with taxes and regulations; we will see even more successful homeschoolers hit the mainstream and fewer kids stored in daycares before going to the widget lines of factory schools.
Children might even develop a sense of what a good family can do for their physical and mental health.
The fantastic success of public schools is why the families of students who use them simply cannot wait to pay taxes for the purpose while the rest of America who do not have kids in schools do not have to pay – right? Wait…you mean that is not how it all works? Of course we know that already, it is a rhetorical, sarcastic question.
🤨
As we are too well aware, all taxpayers fund public schools regardless of whether the citizens have children and youth using the services. How very charitable and socialistic of our governing authorities to make it so and sell the patriotism of it all; while also undermining same with commie bullshiz in practice. What was desired for youth to be educated in the 1700’s and integrated into society over the next couple of centuries is not what necessarily works today. Blame technology improvements and the rest of the world succeeding as we fail if you desire. However, it seems to me the technology ship left port long ago and our nation’s education system is still standing on the dock. If you truly want to know why the ropes are still tied, you only have to follow the money.
Many of the inept school administrations and boards even leave it up to teachers and parents to come out of pocket to pay for some of the school supplies used in the classrooms.
It seems public education has intentionally missed their own “EFFECTIVENESS” bus. When that happens somebody wins and somebody loses. We know who they are.
What If?
For the supporters of traditional school schedules, what happens if education is truly designed for increasing the successful learning of citizen students as its highest priority? That being not only for their sakes, but for the security and prosperity of America and its real allies? I am not suggesting legal aliens be removed from public education. I am suggesting that they not be considered or provided for in how or what public school students are taught and administered. They should assimilate and conform to us. We should not be doing what has been the current accommodation practices in many areas of the country who desire to radically change America.
What happens if the public education system becomes totally achievement based? For example, what happens if students are granted the option of accelerating the school year to be over at any time of year when they accomplish the learning goals set before them? What if they can choose to not take those nearly three weeks off for the Christmas and NY holidays? Instead, maybe do like working America does and take a holiday and then head back to work the following day. Would their working parents appreciate not having to make provisions for somebody to watch their kids while they are at their jobs? Would the students stay in rhythm in their studies and lessons not need to be reviewed repeatedly to get them back on track?
The massive waste in time in public schools becomes very clear when one homeschools. All it takes is teacher videos with web access provided to students to move things along at a more even pace that shortens the timelines.
What about canceling a formerly non-existent week long “fall break” after being in school for two months or less? You know, the periods when so many youth are bored out of their minds sitting at home playing video games and on their mobiles when the teenagers are not cruising the streets? They could fully enjoy three plus months off in their summers to do kid things with some older youth actually being able to work part time seasonal jobs for employers who need them in the peak summer season. Places where they would learn how to work and make money for future use in continuing education and tech schools. Would that make better use of time and help keep some of them out of trouble? Some may decide to not take a summer break at all and continue their studies, especially the more academically accomplished who could accelerate into colleges and universities.
Let’s cut to the chase. Do I mean to pattern public schooling like successful real world businesses who know that the customer’s desires are always the most important factor to consider? These are the businesses who continue to win while the losers do not or figure it out too late by thinking it is all about everything and everybody else. You know, like choosing to Bud Lite yourselves. Which coincidently, is exactly what the public school systems are doing to themselves.
The same common sense and business world principles can and should apply to government controlled entities such as public schools. They are to be developers of productive humans for American society. Notice I said “American” and not anything relating to the rest of the world. Our license to exist is our own. It was delivered via a revolution against tyranny through the Declaration of Independence and Constitution with acknowledgement of God’s providence. We march to the drum of what our Creator has provided and not to anybody else’s.
Instead, many of our public and some private schools are being used to produce livestock and slaves for plantation owners.
Personally I would go much more radical. I would eliminate the mandated 180 day school year laws entirely. With elimination truancy would immediately be less of a problem and administrative loads would lessen. To replace there would be mandatory student involvement in some form of public, private or home schooling. Advancement would be based on stated levels of achievement that would be required before moving on to the next level. Drop outs would not be authorized until age 18 except under extreme family emergencies. No more passing the failing students to the next grade. If the 17 year old student still cannot read, he or she stays at a first grade level in the subject until 18 years old. There is much incentive from fear of being left behind. Yup, some would need to be isolated into alternative schooling environments and situations just as they are today.
Better that than dumbing down entire student populations to accommodate those without necessary learning ability who should not be mainstreamed as well as the slackers.The latter is how it is done today. No child left behind is to keep the widgets moving down the line regardless of the quality of product. Instead, it all would become focused on achievement and the performance of each student as an individual. That is the proper definition of No Child Left Behind.
All of which could mean that levels of achievement by age groups, called “grade levels”, would no longer exist. What happens if this learning can happen over the course of the entire year in physical and virtual classrooms with options given to parents who pay for it through user fees instead of broad based taxes? What happens if tax credits, dividends and such are provided to help pay for it as applicable? What happens if students who do not have the capacity to learn at the higher levels fit for college and beyond are off ramped into other areas of interest and need within society where they can succeed instead of wasting time and running up student debts that take forever to repay? What happens if SI is used by each state to monitor progress and do administrative functions that are now done in make-work, fake jobs that cost tax payers money?
In summary, what happens when all of the invisible, intentionally erected walls to learning and progress are removed? What happens if every child has an opportunity to become the best he or she can be without cabal driven institutional interference? What happens if we really can have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness available to all American citizens?
🤪
Once again, a guy can dream, can’t he?
Deportation
Among PDT’s many achievements, this interconnected deportation issue of exiting of illegals while securing the borders; is the one that matters most to many of us. For immigration to work for our benefit it has to be legal. Entrance through the front door with verification and documentation only. There must be a need. America’s heart has always been to provide room for true asylum needs. Many American citizens with multiple generations of ancestry here realize that America opened its doors to their ancestors as immigrants. They also know the immigration was needed by the colonies and nation. They knew it occurred legally, was documented, and entered through the front door. However, they also know it required assimilation.
Today, that would be as the families of white farmers and ranchers who were being genocided out of South Africa by savages. They are contributors to society with expertise that benefits America. Sorry, opening the doors to more lawn service, maids, nannies, fake cleaning crews, drug cartel distributors, human traffickers, truck drivers who cannot read signs, etc. from all over the world does not meet the criteria. Most are illegals with no documentation and unable to even speak our language. Many are leeches that siphon the life out of everything good about America and never assimilate. The only people they help are the wicked politicians and other criminals who use them.
So why in the world should we believe their children would be different and should be provided schools and services funded by taxpayers that are reserved for citizens? Yet, that is what has been happening in public school districts in all 50 states until #47 arrived on the scene. Massive tax dollars have been spent to accommodate the needs of these illegal aliens. The uniparty has been more than willing to do so as their existence promotes their agenda.
Club Senate – Again
Backers of institutionalized education have a friend in Arkansas, Sen. Tom Cotton.
Cotton is a card carrying member of the uniparty’s Arkansas political mafia. Arkansans can do far better than him, but they have not yet. He uses their central time zone as his excuse for obstructing what is best for the entire country that the vast majority of We the People support. In my opinion the real reason he is using the “rules, procedures and practices” of Club Senate are much more self and cabal serving. To start, let’s look at his bio,
We thank him for his military service. However, one reason we do not trust him is because he was a rural Arkansas farm boy who went to Harvard for his undergraduate and later, his law degree. I know the town he came from and the people who live there. The path to the elite was provided. Arkansas power players frequently do that with young people of promise. It was the same with Bill Clinton. They mold their operatives at a young age. Their hand picks are usually from modest upbringings, intelligent, leaders, ambitious, etc. Cotton’s political career is filled with examples of opportunism in his bio and background. Sometimes it can be a study in contradictions. Other times it is pure DS. He will do whatever the uniparty establishment leadership cabal dictates, including the following from the above link.
“However, soon after the first of the year 2021, Cotton announced that he would not support Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. When the results came before Congress for the certification process on January 6, 2021, Cotton stood by his promise—even in the midst of the Capitol insurrection. At the same time, he opposed all efforts to establish an independent commission or select a committee to investigate the violent events of January 6.“
Why investigate when you already know it was a Fedsurrection, right Tom? The House was already on tap for that role. Time to move along.
Despite the appearance he wants to portray, he is not his own man. The globalist cabal puppet masters are the ones who developed the institutionalized education system we see that is run in all fifty states that is tanking in world rankings for academic achievement. They are receiving the desired results they seek. They are also some of the same people objecting to SI advancement because they know it has the ability to make their power and business model burnt toast.
What do you think Elon could do with public education?
😂
PDT pulling the plug on DOE operational controls to make the department primarily just a funder to states upset their game. If it follows that public education becomes primarily achievement based rather than the current rigidly scheduled assembly line, schools will not need to be open for all students at set times and days. If parents in part of the country do not want little Johnny standing out at the bus stop alone in the dark, he would not have to, although it sure seems interesting that many of us gray hairs remember doing so without incident back in our days. If he is still going to school and is not a car rider, the bus can come by an hour later on a second run. He could get on his i-Pad or computer and video conference the classes until dark mornings become lighter. Flexibility in the manner described previously provides many options. Instead of rigid, they could try flexible that keeps the student as top priority.
The corrupted box of the cabal is not desired and no longer needed by anybody.
Conclusion
Continue getting the illegals outta here! So many good things trundle into everyday life as the cabal’s power erodes and the foreign criminals are exited to never return. Public education is one of those things. The systemic dumbing down of students in classrooms reduces. The voter rolls recede to actual citizen levels. This is a win-win for citizens and the nation as a whole.
Which leads to another Monday Morning Quarterbacking story down the road about why the Democrat Party must be exterminated from the planet. We have become so accepting that there must always be black hats to oppose white hats. That is a false premise of our existence. It is OK for the United States of America to actually be united. It is OK for there to be NO political parties at all. There will still be plenty of points, courter points, disagreements and such to keep things moving and interesting.
Until next time, be blessed, PRAY, VOTE, trust the plan, and most of all trust God.

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
We Shall Be Changed
Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Cor 15:51-53)
Our change, our “glorification,” is God’s final removal of sin from the life of the elect (i.e., everyone who is saved) in the eternal state (Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:17). At Christ’s coming, the glory of God (Romans 5:2)—His honor, praise, majesty, and holiness—will be realized in us; instead of being mortals burdened with sin nature, we will be changed into holy immortals with direct and unhindered access to God’s presence, and we will enjoy communion with Him throughout eternity. In considering glorification, we should focus on Christ, for He is every Christian’s “blessed hope”; also, we may consider final glorification as the culmination of sanctification.
Final glorification must await the return of our Savior Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13; 1 Timothy 6:14). Until He returns, we are burdened with sin, and our spiritual vision is distorted because of the curse. “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). Every day, we should be diligent by the Spirit to put to death what is “fleshly” (sinful) in us (Romans 8:13).
How and when will we be finally glorified? At the last trumpet, when Jesus comes, the saints will undergo a fundamental, instant transformation (“we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” – 1 Corinthians 15:51); then the “perishable” will put on the “imperishable” (1 Corinthians 15:53). Yet 2 Corinthians 3:18 clearly indicates that, in a mysterious sense, “we all,” in the present, “with unveiled face” are “beholding the glory of the Lord” and are being transformed into His image “from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Lest anyone imagine that this beholding and transformation (as part of sanctification) is the work of especially saintly people, the Scripture adds the following bit of information: “For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” In other words, it is a blessing bestowed on every believer. This does not refer to our final glorification but to an aspect of sanctification by which the Spirit is changing us right now. To Him be the praise for His work in sanctifying us in the Spirit and in truth (Jude 24-25; John 17:17; 4:23).
We should understand what Scripture teaches about the nature of glory—both God’s unsurpassed glory and our share in it at His coming. God’s glory refers not merely to the unapproachable light that the Lord inhabits (1 Timothy 6:15-16), but also to His honor (Luke 2:13) and holiness. The “You” referred to in Psalm 104:2 is the same God referenced in 1 Timothy 6:15-16; He is “clothed with splendor and majesty,” covering Himself “with light as with a garment” (Psalm 104:2; cf. 93:1; Job 37:22; 40:10). When the Lord Jesus returns in His great glory to execute judgment (Matthew 24:29-31; 25:31-35), He will do so as the only Sovereign, who alone has eternal dominion (1 Timothy 6:14-16).
Created beings dare not gaze upon God’s awesome glory; like Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:4-29) and Simon Peter (Luke 5:8), Isaiah was devastated by self-loathing in the presence of the all-holy God. After the seraphim proclaimed, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Isaiah said, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” (Isaiah 6:4). Even the seraphim showed that they were unworthy to gaze upon the divine glory, covering their faces with their wings.
God’s glory may be said to be “heavy” or “weighty”; the Hebrew word kabod literally means “heavy or burdensome”; Most often, the Scriptural usage of kabod is figurative (e.g., “heavy with sin”), from which we get the idea of the “weightiness” of a person who is honorable, impressive, or worthy of respect.
When the Lord Jesus became incarnate, He revealed both the “weighty” holiness of God and the fullness of His grace and truth (“and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” [John 1:14; cf. 17:1–5]). The glory revealed by the incarnate Christ accompanies the ministry of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:7); it is unchanging and permanent (Isaiah 4:6-7; cf. Job 14:2; Psalm 102:11; 103:15; James 1:10). The previous manifestations of God’s glory were temporary, like the fading glow of God’s glory from Moses’ face. Moses veiled his face so that the hard-hearted Israelites might not see that the glory was fading (2 Corinthians 3:12–14), but in our case the veil has been removed through Christ, and we reflect the glory of the Lord and seek by the Spirit to be like Him.
In His high priestly prayer, the Lord Jesus requested that God would sanctify us by His truth (i.e., make us holy; John 17:17); sanctification is necessary if we are to see Jesus’ glory and be with Him in eternal fellowship (John 17:21-24). “Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24). If the glorification of the saints follows the pattern revealed in Scripture, it must entail our sharing in the glory (i.e., the holiness) of God.
According to Philippians 3:20–21, our citizenship is in heaven, and when our Savior returns He will transform our lowly bodies “to be like His glorious body.” Although it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, we know that, when He returns in great glory, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). We will be perfectly conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus and be like Him in that our humanity will be free from sin and its consequences. Our blessed hope should spur us on to holiness, the Spirit enabling us. “Everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure” (1 John 3:3). xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/glorification.html
