Road To Liberty. (A series)
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.
It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.
This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.
Do LED bulbs keep you awake, or just bother your eyes? How to replace them.
FWIW, some folks have “issues” with LED bulbs, and I’m one of them, The excess blue causes insomnia, and the way they pulse (even if you don’t see it) means the peak brightness is higher than the average and it feels like the light is too bright or even hurting to look at it
So long long ago I laid in a lifetime supply of incandescent bulbs. I do not need to do, at all, what I’m going to say here, BUT this is / was my long term Aw Shit strategy, and one I use when on the road and staying in hotels with LED bulbs. Yes, I have a “kit” I use and swap the lights as needed.
First off, the current “law”: You can buy IC bulbs under about 40+ Watts and over about 2oo W and those designed for “rough service” (basically to mount on vibrating big machines or on the end of long cords dropped on the ground and otherwise abused). Those 2 are the core of the strategy.
The other category still available is 3-Way bulbs, because when the “law” was made, they were not available as LED Bulbs. That’s the second leg of the strategy,
I have a small box of 2 x 40 W “appliance bulbs” that I carry with me. Together this gives me one 80 W “bulb”. Enough for most hotel rooms. IF I need more, pretty much every hardware store sells these, and every hardware and grocery store tends to still have 40 W “Appliance” bulbs.
I don’t mind re-buying these if I find myself without “my kit” and checking in to a hotel. Having more just means more places I can use them at home later. I also have a couple of “plug to socket” adapters and a couple of “socket to 2 plug-outlets and a socket on the end” adapters for odd cases. I regularly would use the Plug to Socket adapter with a small bulb when working in dark ares (closets, under desks) that had outlets but no lights. Very helpful.
The 3 bulb adapter
I just bought 3 of these ( I have 4 closets that could use them plus the 2 sockets in the garage). I also had bought some 25 W and 33 W decorative “flame shaped glass” bulbs that just were not working where I’d thought to try them. So as of now, I have 2 x 33W + 1 x 25 W = 91 W of IC light in 2 places to use up those otherwise “useless” bulbs. One is my office closet (that will likely take forever to wear them out as I rarely use the light in it), another one is in the garage ceiling fixture (“shop lights” around the perimeter – this is just the “get enough light to turn on more” light), and the last one barely fits in a 2 bulb floor standing lamp just over my shoulder in the “front room”.
I have a whole box of 40 W “appliance” bulbs, and 25 W bulbs are readily available, So I can easily “make” anything from about 75 W (or even lower should I want to buy even lower powered bulbs) to 120 W lights. The only caveat is that it is not going to fit in all lamps, Most of them have a harp that is too narrow at the base, or a shade that is too close for long “decorator flame shape” bulbs. But for closets and other overhead bare fixtures, it works great.
There are a LOT of “socket adapters” on Amazon including even 5 and 6 socket ones, so you can make a much more powerful light should you wish, and maybe find one that fits lamps better too. I just chose this one as it will match my closets just fine (CFL bulbs are slow to brighten in a rapid on-off closet use, so IC is better there).
I presently have large (6 inch) glass IC Bulbs in the closets, but bought these “for that day”, as replacements of the large ball bulbs are running about $27. That’s another “allowed” category – specialty or decorator bulbs. But for how long?… so prepared.
It turns out that running an IC Bulb at lower volts/watts extends the life exponentially. At about 95% of full brightness, you get many years of added bulb life. Below about 75% to 80% bulb life is longer than my remaining life so “infinite” as far as I’m concerned.
So I put dimmer switches on all bedrooms and bathrooms. AND I bought “corded dimmers” to put on the lamps. This has extended the life span of my existing inventory of IC Bulbs so much that I’ve had to replace only 1 or 2 (that had already been used a while in California before the move) in the last 3 years of use.
AND that isn’t even considering the High Wattage bulbs I have in inventory. I bought a dozen or so of 200 W and a couple of 300 W bulbs so that, run at 100 W to 150 W light equivalent, I’d have “lights forever” even if I ran out of my inventory of regular wattage IC and Halogen bulbs.
Note that Halogen bulbs do NOT like to be run below about 90% of full brightness. The halogen gas in them scrubs tungsten off of the bulb and redeposits it on the filament as long as the filament is very hot, but at low dim, it corrodes the filament instead. Not an issue now unless you already have an inventory of halogen bulbs. But if you do, be aware…
Turning 3-Way bulbs into “normal” bulbs
You can still buy 1C “3-way” bulbs in several sizes. These have 2 filaments in them. A lower wattage and a high wattage. Both, run together, give the highest light output. So a 50, 100, 150 Watt bulb has a 50 W filament and a 100 Watt filament. The base has a center connector for the high wattage, and a “ring” for the low wattage (that sits between the high watt center and the outside shell) and the outside shell is for the ground for both.
Run at low wattage until that filament is “used up” will leave you with a bulb that will still work in regular sockets at the high wattage. So I have an inventory of several different 3-Way bulbs “for that day”. One is presently running as a “night light / ambient light” in my office at 50 W. When it “burns out” I’ll be left with a 100 W bulb to use in any socket I want. I presently have one of them on a dimmer in my Front Room lamp, I run it at about 60 W light equivalent so it will likely outlast me at this point.
I am presently, even with just one 3-Way lamp, “manufacturing” full power bulbs faster than I am consuming them. A nice place to be, really. But it means I have a lot more inventory of bulbs than I’ll ever use as I bought most of the inventory a decade-ish ago before I worked out the whole strategy and process (some as low as a few cents each when companies were dumping them 😉
So in Conclusion
That’s the bulk of it all.
FWIW I also have an inventory of CFL Bulbs and generally run them (especially in summer when added heat load is NOT desired) anywhere they work. You can still buy CFLs and they are made in IC Color temperature (2700 K), a nice medium white (3000 K to 4000 K) and garish “daylight” (5000 K to 6000 K) that doesn’t have the “feels brighter than it is” of LEDs, but is just as prone to too much blue insomnia inducing.
So I only run the 2700 K to 3500 K range, and that works very well.
It IS possible to escape the LED Bulb Hell that Gang Green has pushed us into, and it takes only a little bit of money and work.
I think that’s pretty much everything. IF I think of anything else, I’ll put it in comments.
Gotta admit. Chiefio identified a problem. Created work around. Shared.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the negative effects and outcomes of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” that they took.
There are Important Notifications by our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie;, and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.
Today’s offering, Part Two, discusses the ongoing damage that BNT162b2 induces in the mitochondria of the “vaccinated” person’s body.
What are the mitochondria of the human body? These tiny organelles are present in every area and organ of the body. Mitochondria are the “power plants” of the body’s cells: they create energy to fuel the functions and lifecycle of each cell. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes what mitochondria are, and what they do, here: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/mitochondria-health, ” Mitochondria and health”, 22 July 2025. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
Below is an image of mitochondria in the heart muscle of a rat. The mitochondria cells are brown. They have multiple “folded areas” within them, which increase the area for energy production.
Urbano, et al., has a very good article that explains how the mitochondria function, their importance to human health, and more, here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbadis.2025.167803, “Mitochondria: An overview of their origin, genome, architecture, and dynamics”. Ana M. Urbano, et al. 25 March 2025. Please see the screenshot, below, from this paper:
Walter Chesnut has several blog research articles on mitochondria and how they are adversely affected by the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself. One such article is here: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/mitochondrial-carpet-bombing-the, “Mitochondrial Carpet Bombing: The Endothelium is the Gateway through which the Spike Protein Devastates the Mitochondrial Landscape”, 9 October 2023. Please see the image from this article, below:
The above image is from the paper by Luca Perico, et al., regarding the spike protein and the endothelium: https://doi.org/j.tim.2023.06.004, “SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein in endotheliopathy.” Luca Perico, et al. 12 June 2023.
Another article by Mr. Chesnut on the damage that the COVID-19 virus spike protein does to the mitochondria of the body: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/the-spike-protein-causes-to-the-exact, “THE SPIKE PROTEIN CAUSES TO THE EXACT SAME DAMAGE TO THE ENDOTHELIUM AS IF IT HAD BEEN IRRADIATED”, 7 March 2022. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:
It is obvious how important the mitochondria are to the proper functioning and life cycle of every cell in the human body.
Yours Truly turns again to the just-published paper by Hulscher, McCullough, et al., which was presented in Part One of this series. The paper is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination.” Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Wei Zhang, PhD, et al. 2 February 2026. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below, regarding damage to the “vaccinated” patient’s body in the discussion of genomic dysregulation symptoms that were found: this genomic dysregulation indicates that multiple areas of mitochondrial-level damage had been induced. First, the summary paragraph:
Then, the “persistent plasmid DNA fragments“: text from the paper; then, Fig. 5c-d from the paper:
Followed by, the “exosomal vaccine mRNA“: first, the text from the paper; then, Fig. 5b from the paper:
Note: “exosomal” refers to the exosomes, tiny cells in the body that serve as “carry it from one place to another” cells. Exosomes are found in many areas of the body, including in sweat, saliva, tears, in other types of body fluids; in cells on the surface of the skin; and so on.
And, the “long-lived spike protein“: first, the text from the paper; then, the Fig. 5a from the paper:
The descriptions and abbreviations key of the Fig. 5 from the paper:
Finally, Fig. 7 from the paper, an AI-generated image of the types of bodywide damage that was induced in the patient after he took the three injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON, BNT162b2. Please see the box “Genomic Dysregulation“:
Yours Truly will again emphasize that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, quantifies and proves that multiple negative effects and outcomes of the COVID-19 modRNA BIOWEAPON “vaccines” can be detected in a “vaccinated” person’s body for over 3.5 years post-injection SO FAR. One firmly believes that the negative effects and outcomes of these “vaccines” can, and likely will, continue to manifest for many years, if not the entire lifetime, in the “vaccinated” person. It is likely that, as in the case of the Grover’s Disease that the patient in the cited paper was diagnosed with, there can be negative effects and outcomes that are permanent, with therapeutic approaches that include symptoms control and/or lifestyle-dietary changes as the only options for treatment. The presence of “Long COVID” may also be a permanent aspect in “vaccinated” persons; also controllable, but never completely eradicated from the body.
Those who lab-created the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus itself worked for years to produce this virus. In a very real way, the word “virus” does not fully describe to this creation. Instead, it is a man-made, lab-created splicing together of bits and pieces of various animal coronaviruses, inventing something that would never have occurred naturally in the animal world.
Those who lab-created (and still are lab-creating) the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” — the modRNA versions, the DNA viral vector versions, and the “subunit protein” / “Inactivated” versions — use at least part of the Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) BIOWEAPON virus as the foundation for their injectables. This includes the “vaccine booster shots”, which use one or more Wuhan Hu1 “variants” as the foundation (Delta, Omicron, etc., all the way down through the “latest variant”, XFG.)
A chart of the “lineage” of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON virus is here: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/php/variants/variants-and-genomic-surveillance.html. The source virus is the “Original Strain” at the far left of the chart image in this article. “Original Strain” = the Wuhan Hu1 original SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. Below is a screenshot of this chart:
To date, over 70% of the population of the United States has taken at least one COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” injection. Millions of people in the United States have taken multiple injections of these “vaccines.” The Medical Tsunami of negative effects and outcomes induced by these “vaccines” is ongoing. Unless there are complete, detailed, and sophisticated testing performed, as was done for the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper cited in today’s offering — the “fingerprints” of the damage induced by these “vaccines” are very difficult to trace.
Will every person who ever took an injection of BNT162b2 (or any of its “descendant clone vaccines” — the “latest COVID-19 booster vaccine” injection) — suffer the bodywide negative effects and outcomes that the patient in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper, suffer? This is impossible to foretell. However, the potential for multiple negative effects and outcomes in the body (and brain) of a “vaccinated” person has now been proven to exist.
To be continued in Part Three.
THE COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW.
THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY, JUSTICE, AND TRUTH.

I want to remind everyone that POTUS Trump calls mainstream media FAKE NEWS for a reason. We have been fed lies and distortions for over a century in order to keep the public from revolting. To keep the public willing to fork over wealth and bodies for the Cabals wars of conquest.
That brings us to Election Fraud, hackable machines and Venezuela. I get the feeling that Venezuela is not what we think it is AND that it is a key.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday shared a post from the X platform on his personal social network “Truth Social”, which states that Elon Musk prevented the manipulation of the results of the 2024 US presidential election by blocking the computers of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia.
He lost the 2020 presidential election for a second term to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. He claimed that Democrats had stolen the election, and these claims culminated in his supporters attacking the US Congress on January 6, 2021, writes N1.
Now he has shared the message of one of his loyalists with a verified account, Johnny St. Pete, who on X published information from the American conservative commentator and columnist, Benny Johnson, who, according to him, X’s owner, Elon Musk, saved the 2024 presidential election by monitoring IP addresses in foreign countries through which votes were counted and blocking their computers.
“Musk knew he would win the election and it seems that this happened because they identified the systems and machines in foreign countries that would do what we saw in 2020,” St. Pete wrote in the post that Trump also shared, the Telegraph reports.
He adds that Musk tracked the IP addresses of the company “Dominion Voting Systems” in Serbia and blocked the computers a few days before the 2024 elections. In his post, which Trump also seems to agree with, St. Pete refers to Emerald Robinson, a former White House correspondent who worked for several media outlets, including Newsmax, and is now one of the most well-known conspiracy theorists in the US….

PROOF: National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard CONFIRMS they have evidence Electronic Voting Machines are rigging elections
The voting machines are Dominion Voting Machines
“Voting machines contain evidence of voter fraud and manipulation according to several national security sources who briefed me on the issue. I’ve had some conversations with Tulsi Gabbard’s office themselves.
“We can now reveal that a secret team led by the United States attorney in Puerto Rico, seized rigged voting machines some time ago that was used in recent elections on the island and had turned them over to Tulsi Gabbard in a joint investigation at the ODNI, the office of the director of national intelligence”
“These machines were not allowed to be wiped, according to my sources, and reprogrammed by the vendor Dominion Voting Machines after being used in elections where widespread issues were reported”
“How bad were those problems? Of the 4,490 polling stations used in the last elections, 3,119, that’s equivalent to roughly 70%, were unable to transmit results from their respective voting centers according to the State Elections Commission in response to a lawsuit filed”
The Clintons had full control over the contracts for anyone getting involved in the Haitian recovery efforts. These efforts also included Hatian elections. The Clintons implemented Smartmatic into Hatian politics after the 2010 earthquake.
The Clintons had full control over the contracts for anyone getting involved in the Haitian recovery efforts. These efforts also included Hatian elections. The Clintons implemented Smartmatic into Hatian politics after the 2010 earthquake. This is the beginning of the global operation to install these manipulative, backdoor implemented electronic voting machines worldwide to steal elections and install the candidate of their choice. This is the election fraud cartel and its inception.
It is interesting that the Venezuelan engineers headed for Florida and incorporated in Delaware.
Ownership, Acquisitions, Reorganizations, and Technology Transfers
by Dynamojo — ABCU|8
“Founded in Venezuela in 1997 by a team of three engineers – Antonio Mugica, Alfredo José Anzola, and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic specializes in the design and end-to-end deployment of technology solutions for specific applications. The company’s niches are: electronic voting systems, smart city solutions (including public safety and public transportation), identity management systems for civil registration, and authentication products for government applications.” [1]
On April 11, 2000, the same three Venezuelan engineers founded the company Smartmatic in Delaware, United States and opened its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with seven employees in November of that year.
“Delaware, US: The world’s top secrecy jurisdiction. Register a company here and no one will ever know. If you have overseas income, it will be tax exempt.” [2]
There is a lot more in that article. The references are interesting.
…In April 2003 in Caracas, Venezuela, Smartmatic officially unveiled its prototype for election automation. The testing of the prototype covered all the details of the process necessary for any type of election. During the tests, emphasis was placed on the system’s encryption capabilities, which are essential for the confidential storage and transmission of data, as well as the robustness of the software and hardware system’s components. The system passed all tests with no shortcomings, said a company spokesperson.
The voting system was developed entirely in-house by Smartmatic. That includes the integration of hardware and software systems from design stage to end-to-end deployment. Such a complex, purpose-built technical solution would require a strong, system-wide R&D capability that would not have been possible in Venezuela without massive technical and financial support. Although Smartmatric established a U.S. presence in 2000, almost all of its products were developed in Venezuela, a country where capital is scarce and scientific research and manufacturing are not sophisticated.
Key conclusion/question #1: where did the financing and R&D knowledge come from?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now let’s take a quick look at the book Stolen Elections
CannCon (Brian Lupo) and Ashe in America of the Badlands weekly podcast “Why We Vote” are dissecting this book chapter by chapter. Ashe and Brian probably have the best overview of the 2020 election fraud since they have spend years interviewing the main players. Of interest, they were supposed to interview Patrick Byrnes and at the last minute, literally as they were going on air, he backed out. Bynes now says he has no idea who Brian is despite the back and forths while setting up the interview.🙄 This was at the time he finally confessed he had been working for the CIA for 25 years.
This is an Article by CannCon that shows his more in-depth look compared to what he writes for The Gateway Pundit.
Badlands Book Club – Book 5: Stolen Elections – Chapter 5
CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Towner for a deep dive into Chapter 5 of Stolen Elections, continuing a detailed critique of the book’s central claims surrounding Venezuelan election interference. The discussion systematically breaks down assertions about Smartmatic, Sequoia, and Dominion, questioning timelines, source code claims, and the credibility of so-called whistleblowers repeatedly cited throughout the chapter. The panel examines alleged DOJ investigations, the role of intelligence agencies, and inconsistencies tied to money laundering cases, coup attempts, and U.S. political figures used to bolster the book’s narrative. Particular attention is given to how language like “fundamentally the same” is used to imply proof without evidence, along with scrutiny of charts, slides, and unnamed sources presented as authoritative. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize logical gaps, historical context, and technical misunderstandings, challenging listeners to separate documented fact from insinuation as the chapter’s argument increasingly unravels.
In every book written by a CIA agent, in the front with the copyright and such, it will have a statement that it has been reviewed by the CIA. If it is not written by a CIA agent it will be reviewed and have redactions and there will be a statement that it has been thru that review.
9:30 — The Colonel explains how the true whistle blowers get around this CIA meddling.
In this book, the author, Pazulo, makes it obvious he is writing in collaboration with a CIA officer, Gary Bernstein who he quotes excessively thru the entire book. They talk about all sorts of classified info like the Lebanese Venezuelan Drug dealer that was running drugs for the CIA, about Frank Holder being a triple agent. Was Holder a CIA asset too? The Colonel searched and there is no defamation case based on the Holder chapter which totally slanders the guy.
…
Back to the featured video.
9 min: Examples of the CIA building back doors into software by Colonel Towner.
I add some articles.
Crypto AG was a project in the aftermath of WWII. The Crypto AG company was a CIA front in Switzerland. It made equipment sold to embassies around the world. Trump got rid of it.
Another example is the Promis Software. The CIA in collusion with the DOJ stole the software from the inventor and created a backdoor, MOSSAD also ends up with a copy. The backdoor allowed monitoring of other money laundering operations and covered up the intel agencies’ own. This allowed the intel agencies to gather evidence and use it against their competitors. There is a discussion on how to make the evidence usable in court.
So when these guys ( who are CIA assets) say voter fraud can not be proved, well the CIA is expert at that.
Colonel Towner: “They have 16,000 emails from Smartmatic and 20,000 emails from Dominion gathered during discovery in the legal case against Fox News. They were involved in briefing Fox News. So why then did Fox settle if these dudes had all the smoking gun evidence from that case? The evidence they are using to write this book? These Emails include admission of fraud by Dominion (15 minutes)
At this point things get fun.😂
In 10/8/2024 there were four criminal indictments in FL for 2 officials working for Smartmatic. The Federal Asst Attorney is Michael Nadler, [they checked it is Jerry’s son although Brave AI at first says it is not and then says it is. A photo shows the poor guy looks just like Jerry Nadler.] you heard [read] that correctly but it gets better. Way back in 2018 Nadler secured the largest judgment to date against a Venezualian insider. The former treasurer who is now serving 10 years in prison.
Ivan Freites, who lives in Miami, filed the lawsuit in January 2025, accusing Horacio Medina, who is the president of the ad hoc board of directors of PDVSA that controls the company’s U.S. assets, and others, including a former Venezuelan ambassador, a professor and a film director, of orchestrating a campaign to defame them as a result of their lawsuit in Delaware alleging PDVSA workers were denied compensation. Rodriguez and Otero, both of whom live in Switzerland, joined the lawsuit.
They accused the defendants of orchestrating a “coordinated and malicious campaign [of] defamation, intimidation, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and racketeering” as a result of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit against PDVSA and its U.S. subsidiary, Citgo, in Delaware claiming they were wrongfully terminated from their jobs at PDVSA in 2002 and 2003. Citgo’s motion to dismiss that lawsuit is pending.
Specifically, the plaintiffs accuse the defendants of portraying them as “traitors, frauds, and corrupt opportunists” who, among other allegations, received illicit funds from former Venezuelan officials.
….
Back to video:
Colonel: So this is the Attorney and DOJ that used a back dated Interpol arrest warrant to prosecute a guy who wanted to feed the people in Venezuela. And the USA nabbed him on the Tarmac under false pretenses. An Interpol arrest warrant Mike Pompeo personally orchestrated along with John Bolton.
The reason they want to make Alejandro the bad guy is to give Nadler a trophy. Nadler with his ‘Venezuela’ experience [2 cases, years apart] is one of the attorneys for the authors. Martin keeps writing he has 15 yrs experience working in the DOJ as a consultant for criminal investigations and Gary has worked 25 years for the CIA.
They also say “On our own and with outside resources, we decided to launch our own investigation.” Except they had Patrick Byrne, another long time CIA asset, funding them and Jerry Nadler’s son as their attorney so not exactly detached from ‘Authority’ [or at least the Deep State. — GC]
And on page 38 they say “They have no political agenda” [… Jerry Nadler… Bush & Obama’s DOJ… CIA??? — GC]
Martin also says “We conducted this as a criminal investigation. We have focused on collecting evidence and witnesses which is the opposite of what Trump’s Lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Guiliani did after the 2020 election when they made claims without conducting an investigation.”
The Colonel points out there were investigations. Rudy flew to Ukraine and got statements. Sidney had a pile of affidavits. However there were people inserted into their investigations to destroy them [This is a very important point. It would explain Sidney’s guilty plea in the Fulton case, would it not? — GC]
Remember what happened on a highway in GA to a wonderful young man who was connected to Kemp, Loeffler and Perdue after all three called for a signature audit?? Run the timeline on Kemp’s change of heart—and add in the bogus dismissal of our 4 federal fraud cases‼️🤬… https://t.co/eY29EsO6aN
👉 Ashe: I — 100% agree. Sidney talked about Venezuelan whistle blowers but they never materialized. 👈 That was the key dispute between Tucker Carlson [while on Fox] and Sidney. Carlson humiliated Sydney on air saying she keeps coming to me and saying this stuff and there just isn’t anything. Tucker said “ We tried to vet every single aspect and there is nothing.”
Ashe goes on to say, “You will not convince me that Sydney Powell was operating in bad faith or going off 1/2 cocked. She was told stuff and even shown stuff and then her investigation was sabotaged. So now the authors are throwing her and Rudy under the bus implying that this [their investigation] could have happened if not for Sidney and Rudy.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Colonel has been saying the Cartel de los Soles does not exist. It was CIA.
The US justice department classified the Cartel De Los Soles (Cartel of the Suns) alongside ISIS and Al-Qaeda in November. 43 days later, the US has effectively admitted the organisation does not exist – at least not as a cartel in any conventional sense.
The fact is, Cartel De Los Soles was always shorthand for high-level government corruption in Venezuela. It’s use goes backto the 1990s. The ‘suns’ refer to a rank insignia worn by grifting senior military officials. Which means the US classified a slang term in the same category as actual terror groups…
The Colonel then says these people, the senior military officials, were trained in the School of Americas.
Founded by the United States in 1946, the SOA was initially located in Panama, but in 1984 it was kicked out under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty and moved to the army base at Fort Benning, Georgia. Then-President of Panama Jorge Illueca called it “the biggest base for de-stabilization in Latin America,” and a major Panamanian newspaper dubbed it ” The School of Assassins.”
Today, SOA instructors and students are recruited from the cream of the Latin American military establishment. The School trains 700-2,000 soldiers a year, and since its inception in 1946, more than 60,000 military personnel have graduated from the SOA.
There is a list of countries and number of graduates.
The colonel decided to visit this school in Ft Benning GA and who should she see walking out? A Columbian colonel.

So were the stories of Venezuelan Software engineers who developed hackable voting machines and turned whistle-blowers nothing more than CIA BAIT used to ensnare Sidney Powell and MAGA?
According to intelligence sources US Military raided voting machine company Scytl servers in Germany for evidence of manipulation in 2020 US Elections after it was exposed in vote switching scandal by GreatGameIndia. Scytl has a long history of election fraud in various nations including injecting backdoors in its election software. The issue has prompted experts to question why the sensitive job of counting votes was outsourced to a foreign company? How could a bankrupted Spanish company Scytl count American votes in Spain?
According to Congressman Louie Gohmert, Texas there is “compelling evidence” of vote switching in the 2020 presidential election compiled by the Spanish electronic voting machine company Scytl.
The Texas lawmaker said in an interview with Newsmax TV that US military forces seized the company’s server in Frankfurt, Germany. Gohmert said there are some who believe it’s U.S. intelligence “that manipulated all this” to cover themselves…
More intelligence and reports are coming out to help Americans connect the dots of the election fraud carried out by Deep State operatives.
This information could also explain why Defense Secretary Mark Esper was terminated by President Donald Trump last week…. Now enters WikiLeaks. On Tuesday, WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents showing specific details of secret CIA hacking.
This included “malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized ‘zero day’ exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation.”
These leaks may have revealed “that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East.“…
More strict and loose constructionism and many of you will start seeing these two principles of Constitution and law rear their heads often through the years. For these Trade stories I am just occasionally substituting federal documents and authority out while using strict and loose with rules and laws on different subject matters that have different ruling authorities. The principles can be applied in many unrelated subjects. Reminders;
Strict Constructionist – Literal and narrow reading (interpretation) of the document that limits the powers of the federal government to what it provides.
Loose Constructionist – Views it as a “living document” that is interpreted broadly that adapts to society as it evolves and its needs change..
The scripture for today is from I Timothy 6:10,
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (NASB)
Self explanatory scripture.
What else is determined by those who go by the book and those who add to and subtract from the book as it works best for them? How about…
Professional Sports
Let’s have some fun. How about 8 minutes of Academy Award losing NBA floppers.
Of course what else do you expect from a bunch of pampered woke social justice imposters? Next we move to the NFL where we focus on the striped shirts who actually get paid well to do the following with straight faces. About 13 minutes.
in truth those are just a handful of literally thousands of calls and no-calls of infractions each season that have accumulated through the years that those two sports have existed that are just flat azz wrong or intentionally not called.
Yet, each sport has a thoroughly prepared rulebook that coaching staffs, players, and officials are well informed about. Team owners actually participate in determining rules modifications between seasons. They vote on them and then inform the league’s head of officials, whose staff instructs the game officials. But what you can plainly see is that none of that matters if corruption, personal fandom, or vendettas are involved.
How much did Tom Brady’s reputation suffer for Deflategate as an example?
Not much. He won a bunch of SB rings in a future HOF career that led to an ownership interest in the Las Vegas Raiders team as well a weekly game analyst gig on network TV since playing career retirement.
Both sports are so eaten up with terrible officiating they added replay review. However, that is also controlled and limited in its scope. Bad and corrupted officiating still rules. Agendas and narratives must be maintained, you know.
While on the subject, let’s take a look a Major League Baseball. Watch what happens even with using the replay booth in the more current examples. Add that to the horrible pitch calls.
MLB is probably better than the NBA and NFL with calls now with more extensive replay ability and as a result, more scrutiny. But the sport also has the benefit of less overall player actions during the course of games, making it easier to call. To MLB’s credit they are going to take it a step further to insure more fair treatment. They have been experimenting with automated computer driven pitch calls in the minor leagues for several years. It will start this next season in MLB. However, it will only be on a challenge basis with each team receiving two challenges. Hopefully, technology continues to advance and automated calls are perfected over time so that they are used for all pitches like they are in professional tennis for line calls. That is the only way it will ever be fair to all batters and pitchers.
We can tell from the evidence above that none of the professional sports are all that serious about strict rulebook implementation. Yes, the rulebooks themselves are written in strict constructionist format. However, they are then administered with sport ownership concurrence in loose constructionist methodology to achieve desired results where narratives can be sold to an unwitting, some would say dumb, public that goes along with it all.
Why?
Money. As usual.
In the NFL alone the cumulative take for all team owners was over $23 B in 2024. Add in over $12 B for MLB and over $11 B for NBA teams. For all three sports that is approximately $46 B for 2024 alone. Then add in revenues of associated industries such as television and media, gear, food and household product licenses, security services, and so on.
That action you see on the field or court may be real much of the time, however, the outcomes are subject to being controlled. There is too much money in it to be cleanly administered and called. Besides having eyes, playing as a young man, and knowing the games for over 60 years; how else do I know they have controlled outcomes?
The existence of sports book gambling and television rights.
The latter is simple to understand. How many more eyes will watch a playoff or championship game if the participants are in large markets versus small? More eyes on screens, higher ratings for games, more money charged for advertising. A NY versus LA matchup in any sport would be their dream choice 100 out of 100. As a result, the teams in the large markets receive more exposure and attract more elite free agent players.
The sports driving the bulk of that revenue are the three listed above. Sports book betting will go upwards of $150 billion just this year and is growing rapidly. The sports love it because the activity generates more interest. There is some info on the participants in the link below. You will find the names you see advertising on TV during game telecasts.
So you are saying the leagues and team owners benefit from the book action? The same owners who agree to pay the outrageous compensation many players and coaches make? They are all in on the scam together. Say it ain’t so.
🤫 😂
All of it is legal in America. Can you say “gravy train”? Why would any of the three sports discussed and others decide to act on concerns about the administration of rulebooks when the money tells them to keep doing what they are doing? They just have to make sure the cheating is not overly obvious.
As we can see there exists a major issue that has always been present. Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Chicago Black Sox scandal of 1919 was just a harbinger for the undue influence of sports book gambling that existed outside the realm of honest play on the field and court. All of it as authorities looked away and continued involvement in off site criminal bookie operations throughout the country. Pete Rose was not the only one who participated despite the polished images of the leaders of the sports. With the constant need of governments for more and more revenues, it became easier to accept the unsavory and sell it as a good thing along with the usual “we have it under control” comments to the public.
Now we all can sit in the comfort of our homes and literally bet the house on games and specific actions within games, racing, etc. that have controlled outcomes. But as long as we do it responsibly like their PSA’s say, everything will be fine. If you end up with a gambling addiction and losing everything that matters, they provide a hotline you can call to get help. I am sure doing so will cure your addiction and all will end well in the poor house or a jail cell without your spouse and kids.
😉
Since human nature includes the pursuit of riches and to be greedy, there have been and will be more crashes than NASCAR restrictor plate races at Talladega Speedway. Big ones, all the time. Right, Ricky Bobby?
Which people also bet big bucks on as well.
The economics are simple. $150 B was bet in 2024. Approximately 9-10% was retained by the betting houses. That tells the bettor that the odds are slanted against them in the points spreads and odds to one side or the other. The house take is consistent, they rarely go out of business. Which means they know more than the average bettor. How do they know more? Yup, insiders in the sports as well as points shaving players and such. So, no matter what and how you are playing the odds, their business has been arranged for you to lose over time. To beat those odds and be successful you have to be resourceful, smart and very lucky.
There are real world human lives at serious risk. Families are forever altered and destroyed by addictions to gambling. Sports heroes tube their careers and children lose their heroes and icons. Popular diversions from the grind of life are lost due to the corruption. The integrity of the sports become jokes. People lose focus on what matters most. The leaders of the sports become tyrants with perverted values that leads to the Bad Bunnies of the world being celebrated on the world stage. All because many refuse to follow the rules and seek to skirt the edges or dive into criminality for personal and corporate gains and advantages. Their focus is to seek power, fame and fortune no matter the cost.
Nearly all of the issues described in this example of these three professional sports are easily solvable. But the leaders and participants do not have the will to do so because they might make less money. If they get past that in their minds they know that if they rock the boat they will be booted, blacklisted or worse. So it will continue as long as their targets (marks), We the People, give them permission to cheat and be corrupt.
All that is needed is a heart change followed by inaction from We the People. Choose not to play along. Turn your eyes away and redirect your interests. When you shut off the interest and money, the corrupt and corrupted lose.
Which seems to be a recurring theme with all things in America, doesn’t it?

In God We Trust
“Nothing can be more certain than that our country was founded in a spiritual atmosphere and with a firm trust in God” (https://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/36275, accessed 12/1/22). These words were pronounced by Florida Representative Charles Bennett in 1955 on the House Floor as he proposed a bill that would require the words In God We Trust to be inscribed on all U.S. currencies. The bill was eventually signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 11, 1955. While In God We Trust had previously appeared on coins since after the Civil War, Bennett’s legislation codified the inscription on U.S. currency and led to a later act of Congress making the phrase In God We Trust the national motto of the United States of America.
While the exact phrasing of In God We Trust does not appear in the Bible, there are many passages that exhort readers to trust in the Lord. Solomon instructs his readers to “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Isaiah records a song that includes the encouragement to “trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord we have an everlasting Rock” (Isaiah 26:4, NASB). David adds that people should “offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord” (Psalm 4:5, NASB). There are many similar instances in Scripture challenging people to trust in the Lord.
We also discover instances in the Bible where people epitomized the saying In God We Trust. Jesus trusted His Father (Hebrews 2:13). Daniel trusted in God and was delivered from the lions’ den (Daniel 6:23). Daniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, also trusted in God, and He delivered them from the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:28). David wrote that God doesn’t forsake those who have trusted in Him (Psalm 9:10).
On the other hand, there are numerous biblical warnings against trusting in anyone but God. Job explained that trusting in wealth is an iniquity tantamount to denying God (Job 31:24–28). Solomon cautions that the one trusting his own heart is a fool (Proverbs 28:26). Jeremiah records God’s warning against trusting in humanity: the one who trusts in “flesh” is like a bush in the desert, while the one who trusts in the Lord will be like a tree planted by water (Jeremiah 17:5–8).
In saying that people should trust Him, God is not saying that people should not trust each other. In fact, the kind of love He expects us to show “believes all things” and “hopes all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7, ESV). The warning is about trusting in humanity rather than trusting in God. The problem is that the heart is deceitful and sick, and the only one who understands the depths of that depravity is God (Jeremiah 17:9). He is the only One who is worthy of our full trust. If we trust in God—like the people of old who could say, “In God we trust”—we will not be disappointed (Psalm 22:5). xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/in-God-we-trust.html
One Nation Under God
The saying “one nation under God” is a part of the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America. An early version of the pledge was composed in 1885 by Captain George Thatcher Balch. Balch was an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War who wanted to find ways to teach patriotism to young children in the public schools. A few years later, in 1892, Francis Bellamy, a Baptist pastor from New York, significantly revised and expanded Balch’s original pledge in an effort to promote the 1893 World Fair. This version of the pledge went largely unaltered for decades when Congress officially adopted it in 1942 at the start of World War II.
However, the saying “one nation under God” was not a part of Bellamy’s pledge (the original draft simply stated, “One nation, indivisible”). In fact, Bellamy staunchly believed in the separation of Church and State and intentionally did not include any references to God in the pledge. It wasn’t until 1954 under the direction of President Eisenhower that the words “under God” were added to the pledge. This was mostly due to the growing fear of communism throughout the United States during the Cold War.
The inclusion of the phrase under God was meant to reaffirm America’s heritage as a predominately Judeo-Christian nation in the face of looming global threats (especially ones that were derived from atheistic, materialist worldviews such as communism). Having just come out of World War II, and with the Cold War in full swing, President Eisenhower sought to unify the nation and proclaim trust in God against destructive, godless forces.
In short, the saying “one nation under God” is simply the call of a citizenry to be a unified nation that trusts God to protect them from harmful and evil forces.
Is it wrong to pledge your allegiance to the country in which you are a citizen? No, the Bible does not forbid such an action. In fact, unity among the citizenry of a nation is a good and virtuous thing to pursue, so long as that nation is not directly contradicting the Word of God in its governance.
Ultimately, as Christians, our allegiance is to God alone. His Word is to be the ultimate authority in our lives (Joshua 1:8; 2 Timothy 3:16–17) as we seek to be good citizens of our nations (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:1–3; Titus 3:1). In fact, the Bible puts a strong emphasis on being unified as God’s people as we live and interact with one another in our daily lives (John 17:11; Romans 15:5–6; Ephesians 4:3). So, in a nation like the United States where the majority of people identify as Christian, being “one nation under God” would be a natural outflow of living according to the biblical commands for unity. x https://www.gotquestions.org/one-nation-under-God.html

I know nothing about bad bunny. Guessing perverted freak stuff. I glossed over this article.
On Sunday night at the Grammy Awards, Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny declared, “ICE Out,” while accepting the Album of the Year award for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
Then Bad Bunny delivered his entire acceptance speech in Spanish.
Slow Guy. WTF is the matter with Goodell AND NFL retards.
This coming Sunday, Bad Bunny will perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LX. Commissioner Roger Goodell and his team picked this anti-American act to play at the Super Bowl this year.

If you were really afraid of election theft, wouldn’t you WANT voter ID? Wouldn’t you want that election integrity, security?” “Nope, but they don’t want that. They just want to lie to their voters, but their voters, Democrats, they actually want voter ID. In fact, Black, Hispanic, Asian, White, we all want it.” “They should probably do it, but they’re not going to, but we will, which is why we’re going to win the midterms.”

Elon has a knack for simple messages that are crystal clear.
Elon Musk: You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech
The side that is restricting freedom of speech you know, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis of the world
Elon Musk: You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech The side that is restricting freedom of speech you know, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis of the world They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That’s one of the signs that they’re the bad guys In fact, a restriction on speech and large government is fundamentally fascist, obviously. So ironically, in pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom Freedom of speech is simply one of many freedoms that we should have as a civil society because ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed

Dostoevsky wrote this after nearly being executed:
“When I look back at my life, I feel pain not because of suffering, but because of wasted time. I see how carelessly I lived, how often I ignored the quiet voice of my soul, how rarely I understood the value of a single moment.
Only when death stood before me did I realize that life is not merely existence—it is a miracle.
Every minute is a treasure, and in every breath, there is the possibility of happiness.”

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the negative effects of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered, and/or continue to suffer, injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced by these “vaccines” that they took; and, to those who have passed away from the negative effects induced by these “vaccines” that they took.
There are Important Notifications by our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: If there is AI-generated content in today’s offering, it will be labeled as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated content in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.
Today’s offering is a further discussion of what Yours Truly brought to the board earlier this week, regarding the just-published paper by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Wei Zhang, PhD, et al., which proves that the negative effects of the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” by Pfizer-BioNTech, BNT162b2, are detectable in the body of the “vaccinated” person over 3.5 years post-injection. It is impossible to overstate the profound importance of this paper.
The Focal Points story on the paper is here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-vaccine-mrna-plasmid-dna, “BREAKING: Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans More Than 3.5 Years After COVID-19 Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 2 February 2026. Mr. Hulscher is one of the co-authors of this paper. Please see the screenshots from this article, below, from the summary of the paper; from the Case Presentation; from the discussion section; and, from the Conclusion:
The paper, published on the Zenodo preprint server, is here: https://zenodo.org/records/18460099, “Unprecedented Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”. Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Vanessa Schmidt, PhD, Michael Morz, MD, Claire Rogers, PA-C, Natalia von Ranke, PhD, Wei Zhang, PhD, John A. Catanzano ND, PhD, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH. 2 February 2026. Yours Truly urges interested readers to download or otherwise archive this paper — it is a prime target to be Retracted / Removed / Withdrawn, due to pressure on the publisher by Pfizer-BioNTech (PfizerUSA) and/or other Big Pharma or Big Government entities.
The 55-year-old male patient subject of the paper had taken the “primary series” of two injections (spaced out) of BNT162b2 in March 2021. By May 2021, he was starting to present with bodywide “vaccine”-induced symptoms; in October 2021, he presented at the Emergency Room with more serious symptoms. Per the paper, “Testing was limited”, and the symptoms were dismissed as due to “anxiety.” The next month, November 2021, the patient was back in the ER with much more serious cardiovascular symptoms, which required hospitalization.
The patient then took the BNT162b2 COVID-19 “original booster shot” in February 2022. It was shortly after this that his symptoms increased and became “widespread.” The patient had also developed severe anxiety. However, his symptoms were again attributed to the anxiety. It was not until April 2024, after a cardiac MRI was performed, that the patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 “vaccine”-compatible-induced myocarditis.
Yours Truly includes below a screenshot of the discussion in the cited paper of the severe anxiety that was induced by the negative effects of the BNT162b2 injections that the patient took. In Yours Truly’s opinion, this confirms what she has been writing on the board here for some time: that the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines”, in addition to inducing bodywide negative physical outcomes, ALSO induce negative emotional/psychological outcomes. This is because the “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and attack the areas of the brain that regulate mood and emotional response (the pineal gland and the pituitary gland.) This is IN ADDITION to the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” DESTROY the natural RNA of the Uridine produced in the body (which assists in mood and emotions regulation, learning, and memory), replacing the natural RNA with the lab-created compound N1-Methylpseudouridine. Please see the screenshot, below:
Yours Truly will focus on three BNT162b2-induced conditions that the patient was diagnosed with: Grover’s disease;mitochondrial damage; and, blood and cardiovascular damage. Today’s offering, Part One, will discuss Grover’s disease.
Grover’s disease(also called Grover’s Disease, Grover disease, or GD):
Grover’s disease is a permanent condition. The symptoms can be controlled or managed; however, the eruptions will continue and can increase. Zabewski, Jr., et al., have described this situation, here: https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1124347-treatment, “Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis (Grover Disease) Treatment & Management”.

**** However, there is another viewpoint regarding what may cause, or at least be involved in, Grover’s Disease: dysfunction of the IgA and IgG immune system cells of the patient’s body. Phillips, et al. describes this issue, here: https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.12266, “Is Grover’s disease an autoimmune dermatosis?”, Courtney Phillips, et al. 22 December 2013. Please the screenshots of the Abstract and of the Figure 1. from this paper, below:
Yours Truly has written extensively regarding the damage that the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” do to the IgG3 immune cells of the body (and to other types of Ig immune system cells of the body) on this board. Another source of information on this issue is here, from Dr. Jessica Rose, PhD: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/igg4-antibodies-induced-by-repeated, ” “IgG4 Antibodies Induced by Repeated Vaccination May Generate Immune Tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein” “, 30 May 2023.
In Yours Truly’s opinion, at least part of the situation regarding Grover’s disease as a negative outcome from modRNA COVID-19 “vaccination” is that these injectables “imprint” on the body’s natural immune system — and, in multiple negative ways. Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/immense-covid-19-vaccine-antigenic, “Immense COVID-19 ‘Vaccine’ Antigenic Sin Research Library Published”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 13 January 2025. The paper referred to in the Hulscher article is here: https://zenodo.org/records/14632346 “COVID “vaccines” immune imprinting library.” Erik Sass, et al. 11 January 2025. Please see the screenshot from the opening statement of this paper, below:
**** Grover’s disease can be caused by COVID-19 virus infection. Grover’s disease can ALSO be caused by an autoimmune reaction induced by the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines.” The paper which describes this is here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00292-022-01126-9, “Dermapathology of COVID-19 infection and vaccination”, Fernandez-Figueras, MT. Journal Die Pathologie. 5 October 2022. (The article is partly in German, and partly in English.) Please see the screenshots (in English) from this paper, below: the Abstract; part of the section Cutaneous Side Effects; and, from the section Practical Conclusion:
Yours Truly will be “plain-spoken” regarding the following:
Look at the “layers” of illness, treatment pathways, and lifelong consequences of just ONE of the multitude of negative effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine”, BNT162b2 — Grover’s disease. Look at the multitude of negative side effects that this injectable induced in ONE person — the patient described in the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper discussed above in today’s offering. Multiply this potential for numerous negative side effects in ONE person by the billions of persons who took BNT162b2 (or any of its “booster shots.”) What results is incalculable potential damage to billions of human bodies and brains.
**** It also needs to be emphasized that the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper discussed above in today’s offering describes the numerous negative side effects and other issues induced by BNT162b2 in ONE patient that cover ONLY the approximately 3.5 years after the patient took three doses of this “vaccine.” To this date, no one knows EXACTLY how long the modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” will induce serious/negative side effects in the body and/or the brain of the “vaccinated” person; the Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper proves that these negative side effects are detectable for as long as 3.5 years post-injection SO FAR.
What IS known is that these “vaccines” WILL change the DNA of the LINE1 human liver cell line; what IS known is that “vaccines” WILL destroy the RNA of the natural Uridine of the “vaccinated” person’s body, replacing it with a lab-created compound that has NO benefit (N1-Methylpseudouridine); what IS known is that these “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and attack cognitive and emotional centers of the brain; what IS known is that these “vaccines” contain the SV40 African Green Monkey cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece. What IS known is that the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” also contains N1-Methylpseudouridine and the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece.
In Yours Truly’s opinion, based on her now-six years of combined researching and writing about the COVID-19 disaster — that ANY person or entity who is still “recommending”, let alone “mandating”, that people take ANY of the COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccines” is complicit in the damage to humankind that these injectables induce. THERE IS NO BENEFIT FROM TAKING THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — ANY OF THEM— THERE IS ONLY INCALCULABLE AND LIFELONG RISK, IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR INCALCULABLE SUFFERING OF THE HUMAN BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT THAT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THESE “VACCINES” INDUCE.
To be continued in Part Two.
THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET, AND FROM USE, IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW. PERIOD.
THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.
THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

Here's a major reason why the FBI and DNA Tulsi Gabbard just raided Fulton County, and it is mind-blowing.
Check out the duplicate ballots that were scanned in Georgia.
Badlands Media Special Coverage – Fulton County Election Bombshell w/ Ashe & Canncon Around 19 minutes to 34 minutes is the presentation by Mr Rossi showing WHY the duplication was NOT by ‘mistake’ as was the official story.
The NEW batch was composed of ballots from DIFFERENT batches so it was not a batch run twice by mistake. More over Joe Rossi says the ballots were taken from the middle of the stacks.
“…The episode centers on testimony and evidence presented during recent Georgia State Election Board and Senate Ethics hearings, including ballot discrepancies, mixed ballot batches, and documentation showing officials were aware of vote shortfalls following the 2020 election…”
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE 15 MINUTES TO LISTEN TO THIS PART OF THE 3 HOUR PRESENTATION — IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!
Wow. @realDonaldTrump just posted this. Stuff we have known for a long time for those that have been in the election integrity fight. It’s all finally coming out

Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here.
If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they'd be reporting to Bondi and DOJ.
Before I offer conjecture, I want to add just a little more context to why my POV has any use to anyone else.

Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here. If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they’d be reporting to Bondi and DOJ. Gabbard was very likely able to discern the relevant gist from the documents recovered because she already knew what they contained before she ever arrived.
Let me explain a bit further. To get a search warrant, a Federal Magistrate—one with no ties to Trump, and in fact a resume filled with Legal Aid and Public Defense—found probable cause that evidence of a crime existed in the narrow scope of what was being requested via search warrant. Considering how not-narrow of scope that warrant actually turned out to be, and Gabbard’s involvement, we can deduce several things.
First, that there is already a substantial case that some serious crime occurred and that this is not anywhere near the first evidence they’ve collected. Getting such a warrant from such a Magistrate would be essentially impossible otherwise; we can’t even get a similarly situated Magistrate to provide the pro forma signature on a Complaint related to Don Lemon committing several felonies on public video, with numerous admissions and confessions. Let’s not pretend here.
Second, that the foreign nexus has probably already been getting plugged away at with the foreign-oriented intelligence apparatus for some time. It is probable, I’d hazard a guess, that a FISA warrant or two have been employed. Gabbard already knew exactly what they were looking for and she wanted to be on scene for its recovery.
TL;DR — Somebody, somewhere, someday soon is completely f*cked. I’ll save conjecture for a follow-on post
FOLLOW ON POST:
Before I offer conjecture, I want to add just a little more context to why my POV has any use to anyone else. I was an intelligence/counterintelligence guy for more than a decade before becoming a lawyer and prosecutor. I’ve worked in connection to the FBI many times. I’ve worked on dual CI/LE missions and operations.
As far as my historical thoughts on the 2020 election, they more or less boiled down to “It doesn’t have to be a grand conspiracy. Four separate groups in four separate cities all getting the idea to dump some fake ballots; that’s all it took, and thats what the evidence indicates happened.”
I was never big into the Dominion or electronic vote tabulation theories because none of that would have been necessary to accomplish the goal. It also wouldn’t account, in my assessment, for the lack of a repeat in 2024. So, that said—
Conjecture: Gabbard was already working on something related to this by August; she’d given some offhand comments during a Cabinet meeting with the President when he was talking about burn bags not getting burned. Maybe they’re talking about burn bags at the election office in Georgia, but I’m not convinced.
I’ve worked elections (not in Georgia) as a staffer, and we never had burn bags. Nothing ever got destroyed. But who does use burn bags? All of the intelligence agencies, like the FBI, NSA, DIA, CIA, etc.
I suspect that something was found in the intelligence community’s possession substantiating a foreign nexus to election irregularities in Fulton County, Georgia. I suspect that FISA warrants and active Operations have pulled that thread and established an extensive record of evidence. I suspect that this is later into the investigation, rather than earlier. I promise, there is no tendency I hate more from rightwing influences than “Tick Tock” BS, but I think this might be legit. This looks like something significant
We spent an ungodly amount of time looking at GA voter records before Biden was sworn in.
In Southern ATL precincts, 8-10% of voters appeared to have touched two ballots: a mail-in ballot and a ballot cast in person. I assume most of them had no idea their mail-in ballot had been illegally requested or returned.
Several paid progressive companies had street teams, had a worker on each street, or in every apartment, who was paid to collect requests for mail-in ballots and then return the ballots.
In the voter records, when they vote in person, their mail-in ballot envelope and the ballot inside it are cancelled (spoiled), and their in-person vote is recorded.
My theory was that all the illegal cancelled ballots were for Biden, which made it easy for even a single person, whoever was opening and spoiling ballots, to replace legitimate Trump ballots with cancelled Biden ballots. In the data, 98% of mail-in votes went to Biden. Recounting the ballots cast wouldn’t do shit. BUT if you could gets hands on the spoiled mailed-in ballots, you’d see a ton of Trump ballots.
Fulton County admit not signing Tabulator tapes.
One of the replies mentions the book Stolen Elections I will get into that mess next week.
Voting machine traffic going overseas. Venezuela??? Or Europe.
Danno_Lion has a whole bunch of clips in that twitter thread. I hope they show.
Finally an article. It mentions Garland Favorito who has appeared on Why We Vote with CannCon (Brian Lupo who writes for Gateway Pundit) and Ashe in Colorado.
After five years, people are starting to learn the truth about Georgia’s 2020 election.
few days ago, the Federalist reported that Fulton County, Georgia, had over 300,000 illegal early-vote ballots during the 2020 election. The votes were illegal because they were unsupported by poll worker signatures (contrary to Georgia law). In other words, the vote totals were miraculously born without a mother or father.
Independent analysts have known of this evidence for years. Indeed, a reference to the phony 2020 votes is included on page 108 of my book (Debunked?), which was published three years ago:
“All but two of the early vote tabulator closing tapes for 350,000 votes were unsigned. Thus, there was no chain of custody for those files.”
I had obtained that information from VoterGA, a nonprofit organization specializing in Georgia elections.
Despite strong evidence, this claim of fraud (and many other claims) was completely ignored by the legacy media until Fulton made a strategic blunder: It finally admitted that it doesn’t have any tabulator signatures supporting 315,000 early votes. Before that, the legacy media could simply dismiss the claim as a conspiracy theory. After the confession, however, concealment became more difficult. Knowledge of Fulton’s cheating began leaking out to a wider audience…
I start this one with more strict and loose constructionist principles. Going to do reminders each week until you pass your test.
Strict Constructionist – Literal and narrow reading (interpretation) of the document that limits the powers of the federal government to what it provides.
Loose Constructionist – Views it as a “living document” that is interpreted broadly that adapts to society as it evolves and its needs change..
First, I covered the two primary views of the Constitution and laws in general in our country. Next I covered the views throughout Christianity from the same perspectives using the ruling authority, the Bible. Today I will cover their Constitutional application with treaties, which means we return to federal documents and powers.
Wut? Yes, treaties. Since we are in the era of taking on government efficiency, why not?
😂
That statement may have gone over any a head reading this. You will learn why I said it later.
By reviewing this I hope you will see that very few treaties have been interpreted in a strict constructionist sense unless it is useful to do so by those in or seeking power. The rest of the time they are interpreted as loose as a goose’s diarrhetic bowel movement.
Sorry for that word image, but it was the most descriptive I could come up with to match a loose constructionist view of treaties, well, in about everything they did in federal government before PDT hit the scene.
Today’s scripture will stay with the nasty descriptive theme since I already went “there”. It comes from Proverbs 26:11,
Like a dog that returns to its vomit, So is a fool who repeats his foolishness. (NASB)
We should heed that warning as a nation and quit believing we can do things opposed to God’s way and get away with it. We continue to exist because God wills us to exist. Turn from evil, do what is good in His sight.
Treaties
The definition of a treaty that I am referencing in this post with an assist from Merriam Webster follows,
An agreement or arrangement made by negotiation
See, that wasn’t hard. In this context it is a contract in writing between two or more political authorities (such as states or sovereigns) formally signed by representatives duly authorized and usually ratified by the lawmaking authority of the state.
It will probably be best for us to initially stick with American domestic treaties or else we will be here for awhile. So lets drill down on those relating to Pocahontas Warren’s kinfolk since they have been back in the news.
Native American Indian Treaties
How many treaties (contractual agreements) with native Indians are there? When were these agreements first violated by American governments?
There have been around 370 of them. We do not know how many were violated; we just know that a lot were and it started immediately per historical accounts. Most of the violations were never addressed and remedied. We also know the vast majority of the treaties were related to lands the native Americans held and were given in the original treaty agreements. Add in we know the SCOTUS has consistently ruled in favor of treaty provisions being honored through the years. And finally, we know that rarely has that latter point actually happened and been enforced, at least not long term.
So, which do you think that reflects, strict or loose constructionist approaches? Yup, loose in real life application while being strict at the SCOTUS level decisions. See how that works? Those in power on the ground basically do what they want until called out on it through the judiciary and the issues eventually make it to SCOTUS. If the ruling works in the powers that be’s favor they will be strict in their actions going forward, making it more difficult to over turn. If it works better to be loose, they keep doing the dirty anyway, at least until they cannot any longer. If there are no triggers to insure the activity in question stops or is changed after the highest court/SCOTUS ruling – they keep doing it like they did in the examples above with our native Indian population.
Let’s face it, the only real reason they made treaties was to root them off land, to stop or slow down the violence against settlers, and to pretend they were being legal until the government had sufficient military to handle any future resistance. They obviously had no intention of honoring treaties as written long term. They thought they could eventually interest the native Indians into assimilating into society. Over time the poverty they induced into reservations became a drain on resources. That also was intentional as they hoped many would leave and then assimilate. Over time they also found that they had uses for some of the natives’ land that was unanticipated when the treaties were first signed.
As the laws became more defined and case law took root, it became more difficult to outright take away the lands and relocate the tribes. Instead, they began corrupting tribal leadership, who then made deals to lease land to corporate and government interests. Sometimes a small amount of cash flow would come to tribal members, but never commiserate with what the lessors and corrupted leaders generated. Most times the non-leader tribal members received nothing. This left them as destitute and powerless as ever. Using corruption helped the government and businesses give the appearance it was all in compliance with established law and the treaties without actually being so. Loose constructionism combined with corruption won despite strict constructionist rulings from the judiciary as to treaty intent and administrative expectations.
As you might surmise, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has been completely corrupt for two centuries. It was intended and established to be that way. It was lipstick on the pig by the Secretary of War Calhoun of that day when it first was introduced. The following archived article accurately described how it exists in more current times.
The current official status between BIA and DOGE is that BIA is undergoing a thorough review of their operations, finances and policies. Once complete, #47’s admin will make a decision on what happens next. However, in this guy’s world you are either a citizen or not. There should be no protected classes of citizens and should not have been two centuries ago. The nasty BIA needs to be disbanded with the land and business ownership concerns of tribes being mediated and brought into compliance with everybody and everything else in this country.
Which may be one good reason why #47 vetoed this very recently.
Country folks singing about them are more my style
Warning of graphic violence on the next one. Not many who saw this film will ever forget it. Perhaps a reminder of the real world in those days? You decide.
Maybe it is good those days are over.
Conclusion
This is just one element of American society that has historically been a pit of corruption, but allowed to exist because nobody really wanted to deal with it as well as because there was so much loot and business opportunities exchanging hands between criminals. Their aim was to keep the gravy train going. But #47 knows about it and eventually it will be addressed.
For what it is worth, you probably can guess how most native Indians vote. Yup, Dem. In the last election it was 57% for Harris and 39% for #47. Among their number the criminals and those who exist on government hand outs always vote Democrat. Those who seek to build lives for themselves and families in the American way without handouts tend to vote GOP. It is really that simple and it also seems simple that we should give all a path toward achieving the American Dream by working like the rest of us and cut out the graft, theft, bail outs and special treatment. Time for all of the little birdies to fly away from the nest.
It is two centuries past time for native American Indians to assimilate into American society and for the BIA to be exterminated like the rats nest it is. Level the playing field with all protected classes and remove the special privileges. The accommodation period in America should have long been ended; it is the corrupt, greedy politicians who have kept it alive. Native American Indian tribe ancestors were a conquered people, just like loyalist British. The African and Irish slaves were freed. Indentured servanthood no longer exists. Claims for reparations and special treatment for native Indian citizens today are bullshiz just like they are for ancestors of African and Irish slaves. Reservations are current versions of Democrat plantations of old.
The Declaration of Independence is clear;
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That is the guiding doctrine and law of our land. Time for all citizens to act like it and the non-citizens granted legal permission to reside here to act like it.

Canaanite Genocide
[A perspective changing issue to ponder.]
In Deuteronomy 20:16–17, God commanded the Israelites, “In the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.” A similar command is given concerning the Amalekites in 1 Samuel 15:2–3. Why would God have the Israelites exterminate entire groups of people, women and children included?
Before we look at the reasons given in Scripture for the commands to exterminate certain groups of people, it’s important to realize that the Israelites were not given free rein to slaughter everyone they met. Consider the following:
• The standard procedure for battling a city was to first extend terms of peace (Deuteronomy 20:10). If the terms were accepted, the people of that city lived and became subservient to Israel (verse 11). If the terms were rejected, the city was besieged and the men were killed, but the women and children were spared (verses 12–14). Attacking a city within Canaan called for different rules and represented an exception to this standard.
• God did not sanction all of the wars recorded in the Old Testament. The battles that were part of the conquest of Canaan were intended for a particular time and limited to a particular people group. The conquest of Canaan had clear limits, geographically and historically.
• The wars sanctioned by God beyond the time of Joshua were defensive in nature. A number of the battles that Israel fought on the way to and within Canaan were also defensive in nature (Exodus 17:8; Numbers 21:21 –32; Deuteronomy 2:26 –37; Joshua 10:4).
Here are the reasons Scripture gives for commanding ancient Israel to annihilate certain people groups:
1. To judge the Canaanites for their abominations. The Canaanites were a brutal and wicked culture that frequently engaged in incredibly decadent behavior. Leviticus 18 provides a list of sins that Israel was to avoid at all costs: incest, child sacrifice, homosexuality, and bestiality. All these sins were practiced by the people of Canaan: “This is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. . . . All these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled” (Leviticus 18:24–27).
In ordering the destruction of the Canaanites, God enacted a form of corporate capital punishment on a people that had been deserving of God’s judgment for some time. God had given the Canaanite people over 400 years to repent (Genesis 15:13–16). Then came judgment day. God could have used any means to destroy the Canaanites, but He chose to use the Israelites as the instrument of judgment. This method not only rid the world of an evil and deeply depraved society, but it also provided a ready-made home for God’s chosen people, the Hebrews.
The Canaanites knew what was coming and had heard of God’s awesome power (Joshua 2:10–11; 9:9). Such awareness should have prompted their repentance, but they remained resistant to God. The Canaanite Rahab was saved, and so was her family, and they are proof that the Canaanites could have avoided destruction if they had repented (Joshua 2). No person had to die. God’s desire is that the wicked turn from their sin rather than perish (Ezekiel 18:31–32; 33:11).
2. To stave off idolatry and compromise. In Deuteronomy 20, immediately after God commanded that the Canaanites be completely wiped out, God gave the reason: “Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 20:18). The reason for the extermination was to prevent religious compromise and spiritual adultery: if the Israelites left survivors, the sin of idolatry would follow.
The Israelites failed in their mission and left many Canaanites alive (Joshua 16:10; 17:12–13; Judges 1:29). Exactly what God said would happen occurred. Israel compromised with Canaanite culture and fell into idolatry time and again (Judges 2:1–3; 1 Kings 11:5; 14:24; 2 Kings 16:3–4). God’s order to exterminate the Canaanites was meant to guard His relationship with His people.
3. To prevent future problems. God knows the future. God knew what the results would be if Israel did not completely eradicate their enemies. The Amalekites were not Canaanites, but they attacked Israel several times and forged alliances with the Canaanites (Exodus 17:8–13; Numbers 14:45; Judges 3:13; 6:3), so they also fell under God’s judgment. King Saul was given the responsibility to exterminate the Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:2–3). Saul shirked his duty and lied about it (1 Samuel 15:20). The results were dire—just a couple of decades later, there were enough Amalekites to take David and his men’s families captive (1 Samuel 30:1–2). Several hundred years after that, a descendant of the Amalekites, Haman, tried to have the entire Jewish people exterminated (see the book of Esther). So, Saul’s incomplete obedience almost resulted in Israel’s destruction. If Saul had obeyed the voice of the Lord, it would have saved David’s men and the Jews of Esther’s day a lot of trouble.
4. To fulfil the curse on Canaan. Centuries before Moses’ command to eradicate the Canaanites, Noah had cursed one of Ham’s sons: “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers” (Genesis 9:25). Canaan was the ancestor of the Canaanites, as Genesis 10 makes clear. The descendants of Canaan include the Sidonians, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 10:15–19). Noah’s curse/prophecy came true during the time of Joshua. The Canaanites were conquered by the Israelites, who were descendants of one of Ham’s brothers, Shem. Not all of the Canaanites were exterminated; true to God’s Word, some of the Canaanites became slaves (Joshua 9:27; 17:12–13).
The most difficult part of the command of Deuteronomy 20:16–17 is that, when the Canaanites were exterminated, women and children were not spared. Why would God order the death of noncombatants and innocent children? Here are some things to remember:
⁍ No one is “innocent” in the sense of being sinless (Psalm 51:5; 58:3).
⁍ These women were participants in the degrading sins of Canaan, and the children would have grown up sympathetic to the evil religions and practices of their parents.
⁍ These women and, eventually, the children would naturally have been resentful of the Israelites and later sought to avenge the “unjust” treatment the Canaanite men had received.
In the end, God is sovereign over all of life, and He can take it whenever and however He sees fit. God alone can give life, and God alone has the right to take it. God is under no obligation to extend anyone’s life for even another day. How and when we die is completely up to Him. In the case of the Canaanites, their end came after a time of tolerance and patient grace. But Judgment Day finally comes to all, and it came to the Canaanites via the Hebrew people. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/Canaanites-extermination.html
To think about –
God said “do not leave alive anything that breathes.” This was God’s punishment. The Canaanites were a brutal and wicked culture that frequently engaged in incredibly decadent behavior such as incest, child sacrifice, homosexuality, and bestiality.
If we look around in the times we’re in now, we can see groups of people that participate in the same or similar types of behavior. We know that God is very displeased with these types of behavior, so what do you suppose those groups have to look forward to?
God’s judgment is coming! Perhaps sooner than later.
