This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1
Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.
SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.
As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.
YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..
OTHER THAN THAT…….
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
Don’t let UFOs and Chinese spy balloons distract you from the fact a US President ordered Russian pipelines be blown up without notifying Congress then misled the American people about it, risking WWIII to defend a corrupt nation where his son Hunter raked in millions of dollars
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the DayYear Week:
CRISPR
noun
Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
A naturally occurring mechanism found in bacteria that involves the retention of fragments of foreign DNA, providing the bacteria with some immunity to viruses. The system is sometimes referred to as CRISPR/Cas9 to denote the entire gene-editing platform in which RNA homologous with the targeted gene is combined with Cas9 (CRISPR Associated Protein 9), which is a DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) to form the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.
Wolf’s explanation: ZoneAlarm / McAfee for bacterial genes against IRL viruses. The bacteria keep a special library of virus crap, then look for it in the genome and “quarantine” (slice) any infected DNA at the bad spot.
Cas9
noun
CRISPR Associated Protein 9
A specialized enzyme known as a nuclease that has the ability to cut DNA sequences. Cas9 makes up part of the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.

This Rejoice & Praise God Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.
It’s also a place to read, post, and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.
In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civil discussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.
We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.
Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure your opinion addresses the issue only, and does not confront or denigrate the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name-calling, ridicule, insults, baiting, and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.
In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores, and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectful conversations.
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.”
A New Beginning
The New Jerusalem, which is also called the Tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the City of God, the Celestial City, the City Foursquare, and Heavenly Jerusalem, is literally heaven on earth. It’s referred to in the Bible in several places (Galatians 4:26; Hebrews 11:10; 12:22–24; and 13:14), but it’s most fully described in Revelation 21.
In Revelation 21, the recorded history of man is at its end. All of the ages have come and gone. Christ has gathered His church in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15–17). The Tribulation has passed (Revelation 6—18). The battle of Armageddon has been fought and won by our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:17–21). Satan has been chained for the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:1–3). A new, glorious temple has been established in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40—48). The final rebellion against God has been quashed, and Satan has received his just punishment, an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–10.) The Great White Throne Judgment has taken place, and mankind has been judged (Revelation 20:11–15).
In Revelation 21:1 God does a complete make-over of heaven and earth (Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:12–13). The new heaven and new earth are what some call the “eternal state” and will be “where righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13). After the re-creation, God reveals the New Jerusalem. John sees a glimpse of it in his vision: “The Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Revelation 21:2). This is the city that Abraham looked for in faith (Hebrews 11:10). It is the place where God will dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:3). Inhabitants of this celestial city will have all tears wiped away (Revelation 21:4).
The New Jerusalem will be fantastically huge. John records that the city is nearly 1,400 miles long, and it is as wide and as high as it is long—the New Jerusalem being in equal in length, width, and height (Revelation 21:15–17). The city will be dazzling in every way. It’s lighted by the glory of God (verse 23). Its twelve foundations, bearing the names of the twelve apostles, are “decorated with every kind of precious stone” (verse 19). It has twelve gates, each a single pearl, bearing the names of the twelve tribes of Israel (verses 12 and 21). The street will be made of pure gold (verse 21).
The New Jerusalem will be a place of unimagined blessing. The curse of the old earth will be gone (Revelation 22:3). In the city are the tree of life “for the healing of the nations” and the river of life (verses 1–2). It is the place that Paul spoke of: “In the coming ages [God] might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7). The New Jerusalem is the ultimate fulfillment of all God’s promises. The New Jerusalem is God’s goodness made fully manifest.
Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem? The Father and the Lamb are there (Revelation 21:22). Angels are at the gates (verse 12). But the city will be filled with God’s redeemed children. The New Jerusalem is the righteous counter to the evil Babylon (Revelation 17), destroyed by God’s judgment (Revelation 18). The wicked had their city, and God has His.
To which city do you belong? Babylon the Great or the New Jerusalem? If you believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died and rose again and have asked God to save you by His grace, then you are a citizen of the New Jerusalem. “God raised [you] up with Christ and seated [you] with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). You have “an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” (1 Peter 1:4).
If you have not yet trusted Christ as your Savior, then we urge you to receive Him. The invitation is extended: “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17).
Remember . . . despite these explicit descriptions of New Jerusalem, characteristics that we can partially envision but not yet fully grasp the enormity and grandeur . . . despite reading about God’s glory as light, the size, the gold streets, the jeweled foundations, the enormous pearl gates and the angels . . . despite all of this . . .
No eye has ever seen or no ear has ever heard or no mind has ever thought of the wonderful things God has made ready for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9
In other words, it’s impossible for us even imagine the wonders that God has in store for us . . .
EDIT: 22:54 MT. Well let’s just say the top item didn’t age well…except perhaps for the deserved insults to Speaker Dungsmear.
I can only hope McCarthy keeps his promises.
Giving Our “Love” To the RINOs and the Dipshits Going After O’Keefe
RINOs an Endangered Species? If Only!
(Well this is the perfect time for this to come up in the rotation!)
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
In Defense of Ranked Choice Voting
One of the biggest obstacles to direly-needed change is RINOs, and one of the weapons in their arsenal is the “Wasted Vote” argument.
Periodically a third party has arisen, trying to hold RINOs to account by putting pressure on them from outside of the party, since doing so from the inside has historically done very little good. But, even if you find a third party candidate who perfectly reflects your views, you’re likely to vote for the RINO anyway. Why? Because if you don’t, the Democrat might win, and that would be even worse. So if you vote for that third party (that few will vote for), you’re throwing your vote away and increasing the likelihood of the Democrat winning. (It’s half as much a gain for the Democrat, as actually voting for the Democrat would be. Not as much, but half as much. Because although you denied the R your vote, you did not flip your vote to the Democrat.)
The Republican Party Establishment knows you don’t love them. But they know you hate the Democrats worse, and they use that to continue to herd you into supporting them. With gritted teeth you cast your vote, but your vote counts the same whether you cast it enthusiastically. And the other alternative, pissing on the voting apparatus to express your actual feelings, is probably a felony.
But what if you could vote for that third party without increasing the chances of the Dem walking away with the prize?
This is what ranked choice voting, or instant runoff voting, can do provided it is properly implemented. (And this includes the votes, and only genuine votes, being counted honestly, of course. However, I’m going to compare it to what we have today, and pretend that is honestly done too. RCV can’t work if it’s not honestly administered, just like our current system isn’t working because it isn’t honestly administered.)
The idea behind RCV is to vote by expressing your order of preference. You could vote for the Patriot Party, then for the RINO Party as your second choice (and ignore the Democrat, the Green, the Overt Socialist Schmuckmonkey Party, etc).
What does this do? It nullifies the wasted vote argument. Your vote will be counted for the Patriot party, first, then instead of it being “wasted” when the Patriot Party loses, it ends up going to the RINO. Actually, it’s just barely possible that the Patriot Party would actually beat the RINO, if people weren’t all individually afraid to vote for it.
It’s just like the famous “Prisoner’s Dilemma” where your fear of other peoples’ actions prevents you from doing the optimal thing–and vice-versa. As long as Job Lowe is afraid to vote Patriot because he’s afraid you’ll vote RINO, you’ll have to vote RINO because you fear that Job Lowe will, because he fears you will.
So on the whole I like RCV. It gives you a no-risk way to vote against the RINO scum, and in favor of someone who deserves your vote.
The problem is, as done here in the US, it comes packaged with a “jungle primary.” A bunch of candidates get to put their name out there, and the top four (or so) candidates get onto the “main” ballot. This gives party establishments their way around the threat of a good third party bumping them off. Because they know that few people bother with primaries, and third parties don’t have the resources to run in a primary…so they throw two or three establishment hacks into the primary and they will probably beat the third party. The result is the RINOs end up with two of the four slots in the general election, and the Dems get the other two. Now there’s suddenly no third party candidate on the ballot at all.
If we were to combine RCV with the present system where each party could nominate exactly one candidate to appear on the November ballot, or at the very least, ensure minor parties could get onto the ballot with at least one candidate regardless of the primary, we would be getting somewhere, but the establishment is smarter than we like to give them credit for. They will support the jungle primary + RCV “solution” rather than the more appropriate one-candidate-per-party + RCV solution.
It’s not RCV that is the problem, it’s the primary structure grafted onto it.
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights 2. No running with scissors. 3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone. 4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns. 5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded. 5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty. 6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
Little significant change…the biggest being palladium which is dropping. Since that gets used in catalytic converters this might be a sign car manufacturing is declining.
Escape
Thus far I’ve been monologuing almost entirely about the typical two body problem, a small satellite orbiting a massive primary, and below escape velocity. The orbits end up being ellipses (or possibly a perfect circle, if the satellite is traveling at the circular velocity, in a “horizontal” direction, at exactly the right distance from the primary.
Ellipses have eccentricities of 0 through 0.9999… (keep writing 9s forever), with zero being a circular orbit (considered a special case of the ellipse). That ellipse with an eccentricity of just below 1 is extremely narrow compared to its length.
I brought up the concept of escape velocity last time, too. That represents a spacecraft traveling in an orbit with an eccentricity of exactly 1.
Such an orbit is a parabola. And I’d better step back and talk just a little bit about conic sections.
Conic sections are the shapes you get when you slice a cone. And here is the paradigmatic diagram:
Slicing perpendicular to the centerline of the cone, you get a circle…you see the one in red, and because they cut the cone off at the bottom of the diagram (technically, it should extend to infinity), there’s another (unlabeled) circle there too.
Slicing at a shallow angle gives you some sort of an ellipse.
But notice the blue (purple) shape. You get that from slicing the cone at exactly the angle of the cone itself. The center line of that purple shape is parallel to the side of the cone to the left.
That is a parabola, and you can also get a parabola by graphing something like y=x2. You can multiply the x2 by some number, the y by some number, or add a constant to either side. You can even add x (or some multiple) to either side. It makes no difference, you get a parabola. Multiplying will change the size of the parabola, but it will not change the shape. (It’s always possible to rotate and zoom in/out on a parabola and make it identical to another parabola.)
If you cut at an even steeper angle, you get a hyperbola, just like shown in the diagram.
Ahem. No, that’s not quite true. I said the cone is supposed to extend to infinity earlier, and that’s true in both directions.
Here’s the correct diagram:
Notice the cone is now what we’d think of as a double cone (but technically, that’s what a cone is). Number 3 is the parabola. Because that plane is parallel to the top half of the cone, it never will cut through the top half of the cone. But in diagram 4 the cut is vertical, and the plane does cut through both halves of the cone. (It will also do so for any slant higher than the one shown in diagram 3.) That two-piece shape is called a hyperbola, and…well, we’ll get to it, I promise. (Evil laugh.)
If you imagine the cones and the plane extending to infinity, you’ll realize that neither the parabola or hyperbola are actually closed curves; they don’t loop back on themselves.
And if something is moving at escape velocity, it never comes back. So it makes sense that the parabola is the escape trajectory.
(Provided that the smaller body is moving precisely at escape velocity. If it’s moving faster, it’s in a hyperbolic orbit.)
OK, so where is the primary? In an ellipse it sits at one focus; where does it sit in a parabola?
Another way to define a parabola is shown below.
Draw a line like the one on the left, called the directrix. Pick a point not on the directrix, like the one near the c=a in the diagram, where the bottom of the red line is. This is the focus.
The parabola is the curve, such that every single point on the curve, is the same distance from the focus as it is from the directrix.
(This is similar, sort of, to the ellipse, where you can pick two foci, and every point on the ellipse is the same total distance to the two foci. It’s just that here one of the foci is replaced by the directrix.)
Notice that the distance from the focus to the “base” of the parabola is a, and the distance from the base to the directrix is also a.
It’s a just like the semi-major axis of the ellipse was a, and in orbital mechanics this a means exactly the same thing; it’s the size of the orbit. If a is big the parabola is big and therefore not as sharply curved; that represents the trajectory not being bent as much because the spacecraft never gets really close to the primary.
Does this actually correspond to anything in the real world?
Almost.
About a light year away from the Sun, we believe there are vast numbers of small, icy “snowballs” in orbit about the Sun; that grouping is called the Oort cloud. That’s far, far away (260,000 AU, or 260,000 or so times as far from the sun as Earth is), so things aren’t moving too fast out there.
That’s far enough away that every once in a while another star will pass close enough to perturb these bodies, and some of them might be brought to a dead halt in its orbit. It starts to drop toward the sun.
It is so far away, that the orbit is almost exactly a parabola. If it’s dropping almost directly into the sun, it will be a nice tight parabola with the nearest point inside the orbit of Mercury (so a which is the minimum distance to the sun could equal 0.3 AUs or less); if it still has some “sideways” motion the snowball won’t get too close to the sun; it will be a very open parabola, very large in size, a might be about 5 if it gets only as close as Jupiter; it might be much higher than that.
If it is that far away it’s extremely hard to detect. But if it gets close to the sun, the ices in the snowball will heat up, and boil off, and the snowball will grow a tail. It will be a comet.
Most comets come from the Oort cloud, and effectively, we’ll only see the comet once, because it’s just under escape velocity. Sure, it will be back…millions of years from now! The recent “green” comet has a smaller (but still not small) elliptical orbit; it’s expected to come back in 50,000 years. Most famously, though Halley’s comet has an eccentricity of 0.96658; a is 17.737 AUs, and its closest distance to the sun is 0.59278 AUs, so it gets closer to the sun than Venus (roughly 0.7 AUs), but not closer than Mercury (roughly 0.4 AU).
Halley’s comet probably started out as a visitor from the Oort cloud, but it passed too close to one of the outer planets and its orbit was bent into a (still fairly large) ellipse.
How fast does an Oort cloud comet travel? Well, that’s simple: Figure out how far it is from the Sun and then calculate escape velocity at that distance.
Circular orbital velocity at some distance r, (i.e., how fast an object in a circular orbit must be traveling) is:
while escape velocity at that same distance is:
Notice that the difference is a 2 under the radical so the escape velocity is sqrt(2) times the circular velocity. sqrt(2) is roughly 1.414. Speed the earth up in its orbit 41.5 percent and we’re going away and never coming back. (It’s cold out there!)
So let’s see what happens if an Oort cloud comet hits Earth. Earth moves around the sun at 29.78 kilometers every second (yowza!); the comet must be moving at 1.414 times this speed or roughly 42 kilometers per second.
Now this could be a head on collision, if the comet’s a is 1 AU just like ours is, and it happens to be closest to the sun where Earth is and is traveling the other direction. Which makes a 72 kilometer per second head-on collision. Or it could be traveling in the same direction as earth, in which case the difference is “only” 12 kilometers per second.
Either way that impact would hurt. But far more likely is the comet heading almost directly into the sun, and therefore cutting across Earth’s orbit at almost a right angle. By the time you get done playing with vectors, that works out to very roughly 51 kilometers per second collision speed.
That’s damned fast. We don’t want to be hit by a comet; asteroids are bad enough.
But I would like to send a lot of Uniparty hacks on an escape trajectory out of here, someday. I might even be generous and seal the spacecraft so it holds air…for a while.

中国是个混蛋 !!! Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!! China is asshoe !!!
China is in the White House
Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.
Joe Biden is Asshoe
China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.
But of course the much more important thing to realize:
Joe Biden Didn’t Win
乔*拜登没赢 !!! Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!! Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
But GDI, which did not reply to several requests for its exclusion list, discloses in reports which outlets it identifies as the “riskiest” and “worst” offenders for peddling disinformation. These 10, which all skew to the right, are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post.
That list doesn’t make any sense. It’s a pretty hefty mix of viewpoints.
This is an interesting talk on Hollywood with a producer in that town. The truth bombs about fame and fortune, and what the execs do to control talent is pretty interesting. Feel free to ignore the Catholic talk. There is a little there.
Yes, it’s really all about exposure rather than prosecution, but scenes like this make it worth it.

One of the last times all the major big tech website (including Twitter) had troubles at the same time was when Julian Assange's deadman switch was expected to drop.
The self-proclaimed health experts who advocated for more stringent measures usually ignored the importance of sunlight, sleep, proper nutrition and physical activity. In their view, the only requirements for good health were wearing masks, getting vaccinated, and being obedient.

One thing is pretty clear as I am watching the #TheTwitterFiles hearing, all the former twitter executives lack humility and believe themselves to be morally superior. The smug bastards think it is their right to decide what we can say, what we can think, and what we can believe.

1Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” 2And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'” 4But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die. 5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. 8And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
As we have figured out, the history we are taught is written by those who wish to control us. It is a Psy-Op.
To get an idea of the true events it is necessary to piece together bits and pieces.
This article was sparked by things Burning Bright and Just Human said in Defected Ep 12 – Sun 9:00 PM EST – 2/5/23 (3hrs 30 min.)
Rough Transcript of interesting parts:
34 – 40 minutes: “…some partnership with elements in our military and in China to expose the Deep States in both countries, as cartoonish as that sounds… 6 to 8 years ago the Democrats were warm and fuzzy with China and THAT HAS SHIFTED… Why is China not treating Joe so nice? …. Trump’s Ex Orders are still in place, banning Chinese companies [goes in to a list] …China is also not happy with Trudeau either…
Just Human and Burning Bright then discuss the Chinese Balloon as a ‘Narrative – Story’ that seeds the idea in normie minds that Biden is NOT keeping the USA safe. This is in conjunction with the Twitter files showing over and over again that the MSM LIED. [I think this is why Matt Tiabbi and other decent Lefty journalists were picked to tell the story. The right does not need convincing NORMIES and THE LEFT OF CENTER DO. -GC] This is ALSO while McCarthy changes house rules and kicks Chinese spies off the intel committee and a special counsel is appointed to look into Biden’s classified Docs. Another narrative is Biden’s push to get the USA into a war with Russia.
@ 1 hour Burning Bright (BB) then says he has written about ‘scare event theories’ such as the balloon or even worse a nuclear scare. he believes this maybe the beginning of a ‘Crisis Cascade’ that will jar the sleepers into being receptive to new ideas. aka ‘The Great Awakening’ He the talks of the Enemy using ‘trauma’ like 9/11 to shock the psychological state thus allowing new ideas. Ideas that make people feel SAFE [Think giving up our rights via the ‘Patriot’ act – GC] BB believes patriots are turning that around and using it on the Deep State and the balloon narrative is just the beginning.
@ 1:03:20 (BB) says the narrative is Russia and China are ‘Evil Empires’ and they are friends. He does not believe that. He thinks it is the Deep States in those countries and ours that are evil They are the same. [THINK ReichsWEF] he says we need to quit talking about Russia is good or bad, China is good or bad, the USA is good or bad…. How do normies now feel about those evil ‘enemies’ getting bolder and bolder and bolder since you put the buffoon in office? He thinks there will be a crisis cascade involving financial, economic and other things that are going to destablize on Joe Biden’s watch…
@ 1:30:30 Apple moving semi-conductor manufacturing to AZ and up state NY. This is due to China and Biden policies. Given the timing of breaking ground until opening doors, the opening will be in ~2025 when hopefully Trump is President again. BB thinks this is the biggest Devolution Proof. Apple the largest company in the world, is being FORCED to adopt Trump era Ex. Orders. Just Human adds these are generational decisions and are made because ‘Nothing Can Stop What is Coming’
@ 1:38:30 BB – “…Fortune 500 companies are being Forced by Ex Order… the semi conductor thing is where I see the actual sauce of an alliance between elements within China and White hats in the US. BECAUSE these deals REQUIRE BOTH SIDES!” Ex orders BY CHINA Joe PLUS TARIFFS PLACED BY XI ON US SEMI-CONDUCTOR PRODUCTION IN CHINA!….”
This is where things get very very interesting.
@ 1:39:30 Burning Bright says: “…My percolating theory is in China there are regional magistrates, that are essentially governors who are LEGACY FAMILIES. They have enormous control historically in China. Think of what we were given a glimpse of during Covid, of our governors but if they were almost kings unto themselves. That’s how it really works in China. I have been exploring their political history. And Xi has been doing a lot to change that. And to pull a lot of that regional power into the executive. And whats funny… is the media sometimes tells you the truth by accident. So a lot of the media fear mongering about China right now and about President XI, is the fact he is nationalizing a lot of power and he is taking power from the regional magistrates and transferring it to the Executive branch. And Xi is saying I am transferring it to the people who are voting for me, just like Trump said… and these magistrates HAD THEIR OWN STANDING ARMIES…I didn’t know this until recently. It was all regional armies, Xi is the one who put them under an executive branch…”
@ 1:41:10 Just Human brings up the point that these regional armies are why China is so militant. It is baked in. That the regional magistrates are who crack down on people…
@ 1:42:00 BB says he thinks Xi PLAYED the globalists. The media was cheering Xi several years ago and is now saying Xi centralizing power is BAD. Xi is the one who coined the term multipolar world order not Putin. That is NOT a globalist World Order. Xi wants REGIONAL power structures. BB knows an American in China and his region did not get locked down…. You have been seeing regions like Shanghai were really really bad. And what’s funny is when you dig into all the arrests… of CCP members, most of them are happening in Shanghai. Shanghai standing committees, Shanghai regional government. A lot of the people in these kind of regions are the ones who have been arrested and put before committees. I could be wrong and Xi is consolidating power to launch a war against the USA but the moves he is make seem to me … he is forcing these American Super Corporations out of his country. Covid and the lockdowns allowed China to cut off trade. To break the supply chains which wasn’t good initially. There is short term pain associated with that. Just like there was for us…. But now a lot of that stuff is being on-shored which is a good thing. Which is a long term good thing. You need to turn that around and think of it from China’s perspective as well… China can produce all it’s own stuff. The only reason they have needed us is because Chinese Oligarchs and these regional magistrates, these legacy families, they have owned everything. They have had this slave labor going on…. I think we could be heading towards a place where places like Russia and China are starting to nationalize, get rid of this American Oligarchy and what will hopefully be happening is the growth of real middle classes…. What sparked this thought is Xi is not putting tariffs on the United States but on specific companies….
@ 1:45:40 Just Human: We have tariffs on specific Chinese companies but we also have Chinese companies Red listed and Black listed and those have EXPENDED UNDER BIDEN…. It makes me wonder if the deals the Bidens had were with Xi or with these Chinese regional powers…. And Xi cut the strings to those regional powers….
@ 1:46:30 Burning Bright: …What about all the information that has leaked out of China about the Bidens…
>>>>>>>>>
Some interesting tidbits. Xi had Obama exit out of the ass end of the plane while Trump was not only given the red carpet treatment, he was allowed in the Forbidden City and treated to a banquet. (THINK NO SPY DEVICES) Trump had Xi visit the Southern White House, Mar-a-Lago. (THINK NO SPY DEVICES) Trump had interpreters BANNED from speaking to anyone about the content of his meetings with Putin. He also had a one-on-one meeting with NO interpreters. All three of these men are ‘MY NATION FIRST’ nationalists and not globalists. Burning Bright calls this the Sovereign Alliance.
May 20, 2017: The Chinese government “systematically dismantled” CIA spying operations in the country starting in late 2010 and killed or imprisoned at least a dozen CIA sources over the next two years, it was reported on Saturday….
The number of CIA assets lost in China rivaled those lost in the Soviet Union and Russia as a result of the betrayals by CIA officer Aldrich Ames and FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who were arrested in 1994 and 2001 respectively, the report said.
As many as 20 CIA sources were killed or imprisoned in China over a two-year period, the Times said, citing two former senior US officials.… Mr Xi became president in 2013, and quickly consolidated personal power while cementing China as the regional superpower.
He also fought corruption, punishing more than a million party members – which has helped his popularity among some.
At the same time, however, China has clamped down on many emerging freedoms, increasing its state surveillance and censorship programs. Critics also say Mr Xi has used the anti-corruption purge to sideline political rivals….
The Guardian
We know the CIA is part of the Deep State and seems to be working FOR the World Economic Forum and NOT the usa.
March 11, 2018 ….Only five years ago Beijing was being ruled by a collective leadership. Under ex-President Hu Jintao you could imagine differing views being expressed in the then nine-member Politburo Standing Committee….
US President Donald Trump was criticised by some commentators for seeming to approve of Mr Xi’s unlimited rule, saying on Monday: “President for life… I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”
BBC
Just Human noted that while POTUS Trump has bashed China he has NEVER criticized Xi. He calls him a ‘Great Friend’ and ‘I respect him very much’… @ 1:54:30
June 15, 1953 – XI IS BORN Xi Jinping is born in Beijing a “princeling” child of an official. His father, Xi Zhongxun, fought in the Communist revolution and later served as an official, rising to become a liberal-minded vice premier. The young Xi grew up among the party elite but saw his father purged and later jailed during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, only to be rehabilitated and allowed back into government after Mao’s death. [Xi would have been 13 when his father was jailed – GC]
1974 – PARTY MAN After being sent to work in the poverty-stricken countryside, in Shaanxi province, as a teenager during the Cultural Revolution, Xi joins the Communist Youth League and then, in 1974, the party, at the age of about 21.
Sept. 9, 1976 – MAO DIES Mao Zedong, the “Great Helmsman”, dies at the age of 82. Xi is 23 and a chemical engineering student [I do not know about China but Chem Eng is rated one of the hardest college degree courses – #4 – in the USA. This means Xi is brilliant. – GC] at Tsinghua University. China goes into mourning and Hua Guofeng, Mao’s handpicked successor, takes over. For a time, Hua is treated like Mao, but he is eventually sidelined by Deng Xiaoping who sets China on a more practical, less dogmatic, path.
REUTERS
So as a teen, Xi watched his father be jailed and went from being a pampered ‘princeling’ to most likely being a farm worker. This man is NOT dumb so he kept his head down, and joined the Communist Youth League and then, in 1974, the Communist party. He is rewarded by being allowed to become a chem engineering student, despite the jailing of his father.
A passage from an essay by the Australian defense analyst Paul Monk is very telling on the subject of what President Xi intends for Asia’s near future:
In any case, Xi Jinping, despite his genial smile, good English, and familiarity with the United States, is no reforming liberal. Shortly after assuming the presidency, he took all the members of his politburo with him to the bizarre museum the Party has built in Tiananmen Square – the museum of national humiliation and revival. He pointed out to them the exhibits showing the arrival of the Jesuits via Macao in the sixteenth century and how this had been the beginning of the infiltration and humiliation of China by the West. He pointed out the exhibits showing the Japanese invasions of China and making the unfounded assertion that the Japanese were defeated by the Communist Party with a little help from “good” Nationalist generals. The Americans, he said, then became the enemy. “Against this external enemy,” he told China’s inner group of top leaders, “we must stick together.”
…It all started with the British discovering an ingenious trading system to reduce the empire’s mounting trade deficit after the conquest of India in the 18th century. By 1790, the deficit had risen to £28 million and swelled much beyond it by 1820, when the British trading community and the government found the perfect solution for the situation: Indian opium. Taking advantage of Chinese fondness for the Indian variety, British merchants bribed Chinese officials to allow entry of chests of opium shipped from British-ruled India, though such imports had long been banned by imperial decree in China. Between 1800 and 1818, the average annual traffic of opium to China was 4,000 chests (with each chest containing about 64 kilograms of opium); by 1831, the number of chests touched 20,000; and by 1840, when the British East India Company had lost its monopoly on the trade and the market was full of private merchants, the sales touched nearly 40,000.
An attempt by the Chinese authorities to control the trade at the port of Canton by destroying large consignments of opium and publicly executing drug merchants resulted in a massive British army from India invading China, running through Canton and seizing the tax barges on the Yangtze. The blow proved disastrous. The Treaty of Nanjing signed in 1842 forced China to pay an indemnity to Britain and open four ports to it, and give up Hong Kong to the Queen. The Second Opium War (1856-1860), led by an Anglo-French coalition, ended in further ignominy for the Chinese: Beijing’s famed Old Summer Palace was gutted as a reprisal for the torture of a British mediation team; the treaties signed to conclude the war forced China to open full-scale trading relations with the West, legalise opium trade throughout the country, cede Kowloon and pay a total indemnity of 5 million ounces of silver to the British and the French…
Let’s take a quick look at the USA, especially the Federal Reserve.
(This is no longer available on Google/duck-duck-go but Yandex will bring it up… Hmmmmm) ….”These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children….
Congressman McFadden
Kinda makes you wonder if the FED Bankers also financed the Japanese War against China to allow the Communist to win there too.
….Tokyo’s largest contribution to Chinese nationalism was the invasion of Manchuria and the second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). As two scholars put it, “the plain historical fact [is] that modern Chinese nationalism emerged above all in reaction to Japanese imperialism.” Indeed, in the run-up to the second war, China remained deeply divided along regional, ethnic and ideological grounds. All these disparate actors united immediately prior to the war in hopes that they could defend the country from Japan. The brutality of Japan’s occupation further ingrained Chinese nationalism into the national consciousness. In doing so, Japan made it possible for Mao and the CCP to unify China after the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949)….
Before the second Sino-Japanese War commenced, the Communist Party was locked in a death struggle with Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT. The CCP fared poorly in this conflict, suffering repeated defeats at the hands of the Nationalists.
By the end of 1934, the CCP was on the verge of extinction after KMT troops delivered another heavy blow to the Red Army in Jiangxi Province, which forced the party to undertake the now infamous Long March to Xi’an in the northwestern province of Shaanxi. Chiang initially pursued the Communist forces, and would have almost certainly delivered a final blow to the CCP if war with Japan could have been delayed. As it turned out, Chiang was not able to put off the war with Japan any longer, and domestic and international pressure forced him to accept a tacit alliance with the CCP against Japan.

Congressional Record
Getting back to China, the Brits and opium, Brian Cates wondered how the Triads fit in. After all, just like in the USA today, you need local suppliers to serve as middlemen and gangs fit the bill very nicely.
(Mullins is the author of The Secrets of the Federal Reserve)
…In 1715 the British East India Co. opened its first Far East office in Canton. Crown Policy deliberately fostered opium addiction among the natives to facilitate British political control. The British Empire was then threatened with bankruptcy if it lost the American colonies. In order to defeat the rebels, the profits of the opium trade with China were sent to the Elector of Hesse via Mayer Amschel Rothschild to hire 16,800 Hessian troops. Thus the drug traffic and the Rothschilds played a pivotal role in American history, although it has been ignored or deleted from the history books.
David Ricardo, father of the quantity theory of money and the “rent”, or loot theory, was on the Court of Proprietors of the East India Co. He had John Stuart Mill appointed as Chief Examiner. The colonial minister of England during the Opium Wars was Edward Bulwer Lytton, who wrote the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, bringing England E21 million in silver and control over the free port of Hong Kong. Britain then allied with the Hong Society, the Triads and Assassins, to rule the Chinese to the present time. Bulwer Lytton’s son was Viceroy of India during the 1880s at the height of the opium trade, and sponsored Rudyard Kipling’s writings about the British Raj in India. The profiteers from the drug trade included William, Earl of Shelburne, who organized Britain’s first Intelligence Service, whose agents were drawn from Britain’s leading families. Its chairman was George Baring, and it employed Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and Thomas Malthus. [The Malthusian Theory of Population is a theory of exponential population growth and arithmetic food supply growth.] The Geneva headquarters was run by the Mallet Prevost family, whose descendants include Allen Dulles of the CIA. Basil Lubbock’s work, The Opium Clippers, 1933, lists the principal owners of British vessels engaged in the opium trade, with color illustrations of their flags. Most of them were ex-slavers. [A listing follows]….
Red China’s mutterings about taking over Hong Kong when the present lease expires in 1997 allows insiders of the World Order opportunity to increase their fortunes in the volatile Hong Kong real estate market. Red China has to allow the British to operate in this trading area to assure the supply of hard currency from the drug trade. When the British took over this trading area in 1843, they maintained control of the local population through the Triads, the Assassins, as the Hong Society was known, also called the Honorable Society, and the Society of Heaven, Earth and Man. Dan E. Mayers wrote in Fortune, Aug.6, 1984, “British colonial rule in Hong Kong is not democracy. Britain rules by decree in all matters of importance. Hong Kong Chinese don’t have democratic rights.”
Opium began as a cash crop in the poppy-fields of Asia Minor, particularly in Turkey, where it is still an important crop today. In 1516, opium was the official monopoly of the Great Mogul in Kuch Behar. When opium reached China, about 1729, Emperor Yung Chen prohibited its use. In 1757, with Clive’s great victory at Plassy, the East India Co. took over the opium monopoly as part of its spoils from the Indian Moguls. When the British promoted the use of East India’s opium in China, as payment for raw materials needed by their Industrial Revolution (they had been paying in silver), the Emperor Tao Kwang repeatedly warned them to stop selling opium in his country. When these warnings were ignored, the Emperor burned 20,291 chests of opium in 1830, a hoard valued at 2 million pounds. This precipitated the British Opium Wars of 1839-42 and 1856-60…
Criminal gangs are found throughout China but are most active in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang and Guangzhou as well as Hong Kong. The number of people involved in organized crime on the mainland has risen from around 100,000 in 1986 to around 1.5 million in 2000…
Triads are the most well-known organized crime group in China, Hong Kong and Macao. In addition to them are other large organized crime gangs. The Big Circles is a loose alliance of criminal gangs founded by former Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution. Their individual names refer to the detention centers where they were “re-educated.” They are active in snakehead human trafficking and other criminal operations….
The Triads are believed to control an empire worth many billions of dollars. The largest and most powerful Triad, Sun Yee On, is believed to have 40,000 members. The unnamed “Dragon Head” of Kong Sun Yee On, was named on Asiaweek’s list of the 50 most powerful people in Asia.
Sun Yee On is believed to be particularly well connected with the Hong Kong tycoons and Communist party elite. One high-level Communist official even referred to them as “patriotic.” The second and third largest Triads respectively are Who Sing Who and 14K (14 stands for the road number of a former headquarters and K stands for Kowloon)…
This makes me wonder if the ‘Legacy Families’ especially in Shanghai, are connected to the Triads. It would help explain Xi’s targeting that area.
The apparent appearance of hired thugs, probably from Guangdong organised crime gangs, on the streets of Hong Kong harassing the democracy movement has been blamed on the Mainland Chinese government’s tendency to use such people to stir up trouble and chaos at everything from property development disputes (beating residents slow to leave) to labour strikes (beating up workers) in recent years. As well as a rather handy non-uniformed enforcement body, the thugs provide the government with the opportunity to claim divisions within society and justify the need for state forces to step in to stop the chaos. Some in the foreign media and casual observers have found this tactic hard to understand and difficult to countenance. However, there is a long history of China’s post-1911 governments using triads, gangs and hired thugs to intervene and either stir up, or repress, volatile situations and deal with perceived “enemies” of the state. The roots of the triads and other secret societies mostly reach back anti-Qing organisations, but we don’t need to go quite that far back…
So let’s go back to 1927….and Shanghai….
To cut a long story short (Chinese history stories are always long of course) Chiang Kai-shek, at the end of his Northern Expedition, wished to purge Shanghai of communists, leftists and unions. He needed help in the International Settlement and Frenchtown where his troops could not freely roam (as the PLA cannot in Hong Kong). The Green Gang and Red Gang offered to help….
The savage beating of Hong Kong protesters by a mob of triad gangsters has deepened fears about the city’s notorious criminal gangs and the use of shadowy hired muscle to defend China’s interests. At least 45 people were hospitalised after Sunday’s attack when men armed with poles and rods assaulted anti-government protesters in the rural town of Yuen Long as they returned from another huge rally.
In a city that prides itself on a reputation for safety the scenes caused outrage and fear. They also offered a glimpse into an underworld that has long stalked the city. For seasoned watchers of Hong Kong and its shadowy nexus of organised crime, the brazen beatings came as little surprise.
In recent years, analysts say, there has been a growing tendency for thugs to target perceived threats to Beijing — in Hong Kong, on the Chinese mainland and even in Taiwan.
“When the Communist Party of China finds it inconvenient for it to do something, it will use those gangsters on its behalf,” local Hong Kong political analyst Dixon Sing told AFP….
Secret societies are not always criminal enterprises, but triad societies are by definition criminal in Hong Kong and have been the basis of organised criminal gangs. Triad and secret societies are useful criminal platforms because of their secrecy and rituals, which are a means of ensuring that the triad or secret society is enduring in the face of enforcement and suppression by the authorities.
Triads and secret societies have at times reached an accommodation with the authorities, including the Kuomintang, the British and Japanese occupying Hong Kong, and the Communist Party of China. The Kuomintang and the CPC have based their legitimacy on the principle of unifying China, which resonates with the origins of triad societies in “Faan Qing Fuk Ming”, deposing the Manchu Qing dynasty and restoring the Han Chinese Ming dynasty. Some have joined triad and secret societies for opportunist reasons, for instance Chiang Kai Shek’s membership of the Green Gang seems likely to have been for personal advancement and to make use of the gang’s power. The membership of Dr. Sun Yat Sen of multiple secret societies is more complex as most were dedicated to or were vehicles to overthrow the Qing dynasty, and hence his motives were nationalistic.
Triads became established as a tool of the Nationalists before and after the 1911 revolution. Some triads prospered in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation from 1941 and continued their criminal business after liberation in 1945. From the 1990s triads seem to have been acknowledged as acceptable to China as part of the CPC United Front.
In this context, triad and secret societies have often considered themselves patriotic, but this has at least in the 20th and 21st centuries been an accommodation with political powers that could facilitate the underlying criminal businesses of triad societies. Patriotism has been a pretext for some triad and secret societies and has hence contributed to the enduring existence of triad societies into the 21st century.

I would hazard a guess that some of those ‘Old Established Families’ Burning Bright mentions are the heads of Triads who made their fortunes via the Brits and the Opium Trade. I think the Communists and the Triads came to an agreement under Mao.
It is 169 pages. A skim through it shows the plans of the Committee of 300 and today’s events show how they are coming true. It also dovetails with my own research that connects The British East India Company, the Opium Wars with control of China today.
FOREWORD
In my career as a professional intelligence officer, I had many occasions to access highly classified documents, but during service as a political science officer in the field in Angola, West Africa, I had the opportunity to view a series of top secret classified documents which were unusually explicit. What I saw filled me with anger and resentment and launched me on a course from which I have not deviated, namely to uncover what power it is that controls and manages the British and United States governments….
,,,The drug trade is controlled by the Committee of 300 from the Top down. The drug trade started with the British East India Company and was closely followed by the Dutch East India Company. Both were controlled by a “Council of 300.” The list of names of members and stockholders of the BEIC read like something out of Debretts Peerage. BEIC established the “China Inland Mission,” whose job it was to get The Chinese peasants, or coolies, as they were called, addicted to opium. This created the market for opium which the BEIC then filled.
In much the same way the Committee of 300 used “The “Beatles” to popularize “social drugs” with the youth of America and The Hollywood “in-crowd.” ….
…The truth is that the supply of opium to China was a British monopoly, an OFFICIAL monopoly of the British government and official British policy. The Indo-British opium trade in China was one of the best kept secrets…
…These addicts did not suddenly materialize out of thin air, any more than did teenager addicts in the U.S. THE POINT TO REMEMBER IS THAT BOTH WERE CREATED….
….The BEIC is gone but the descendants of the Council of 300 linger on in the membership of the Committee of 300. The oldest of the oligarchical British families who were leaders in the opium trade for the past 200 years are still in it today. Take the Mathesons, for instance. This “noble” family is one of the pillars of the opium trade. When things looked a bit shaky a few years ago, the Mathesons stepped in and gave China a loan of $300 million for real estate investment.
The lucrative drug trade is one of the worst examples of making money out of human misery; the other being the legal drug trade run by the pharmaceutical drug houses under Rockefeller ownership, in the U.S. for the most part, but with substantial companies operating in Switzerland, France and Britain and fully backed by the American Medical Association (AMA). The dirty dope transactions and the money it generates flows through the City of London, together with Hong Kong, Dubai and latterly, Lebanon…
[It goes on to quote H.G. Wells —] ” … a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY– PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.”…”
At least 4 billion “useless eaters” shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases and starvation. Energy, food and water shall be kept at subsistence levels for the non-elite, start-ing with the White populations of Western Europe and North America and then spreading to other races. The population of Canada, Western Europe and the United States will be decimated more rapidly than on other continents, until the world’s population reaches a manageable level of 1 billion, of which 500 million will consist of Chinese and Japanese races, selected because they are people who have been regimented for centuries and who are accustomed to obeying authority without question.

Remember all of Pfizer’s Safety work is conducted in China two R&D “functions run exclusively at Wuhan and nowhere else in the world… our Wuhan teams manage the clinical trial registry information and clinical trial master files for all Pfizer’s medicines” AND Pfizer“employed 69 known members of the Chinese Communist Party.” Therefore I do not find it surprising to find China has NOT used mRNA vaccines.

The approved GOPe script, a construct of multinational financial influence and background motive, was/is intended to write President Donald Trump out of the Republican political framework. Governor Huckabee-Sanders went along with the plan. She, along with all of the non-pretenders, knows this, as all of them do. It is a sad acceptance to realize just how metastasized the political cancer has become, and how few can hold firm against the power of the corrupt political apparatus.
And all this surfaced AFTER I collected a lot of this:
Don’t mess with seniors and their social security. They worked for it. And the politicians have been dipping their hands in that till for decades to cover their hair-brained schemes.
BIG PROBLEM! It’s really not that women WANT to kill their children. It’s that their support systems want them to. In that case, we have a pretty serious cultural issue.
This one is a definite losing argument for the rats. If they actually do it, the efforts will go the same way as the artisan cheese aged on wood did. POOF! The cooks among them will complain.
Shall we count the ways? If the clot shots don’t kill young, fertile women, this might do it if the drug is administered incorrectly or too often. No real women, no babies. It’s that simple. Depop.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.
All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.
Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

Yes, I have that descant on verse three practically memorized. We sing it a bit faster, though.
GENESIS 2:18-25
18Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him. 21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; 22and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. 25And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.
PSALMS 128:1-5
1Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! 2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4Lo, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. 5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!
MARK 7:24-30
24And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid. 25But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni’cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27And he said to her, “Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” 29And he said to her, “For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

My understanding is the statue on the right is one of Lilith, who is one of the five demons that make up The Table. The others are Baal, Asmodeus, Leviathan, and Baphomet. Lilith is the demon of seductive female homosexuality. The Table are Beelzebub’s generals. Beelzebub literally means lord of the flies.

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.
Auntie DePat’s requests:

One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
14And he called the people to him again, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.” 17And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, 19since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20And he said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. 21For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, 22coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.”
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
People have been getting scared by the seemingly coordinated yet mysterious disasters in food production facilities. It seems like some kind of scary “phenomenon”. We suspect a human hand, but there seems to be none. It’s as if some mysterious organization like “SPECTRE” or “KAOS” is behind it. Some people have even postulated “DEWs” (directed energy weapons). That’s when I start smelling “disinformation” – likely being planted by allies of actual arsonists and saboteurs. Or is the entire thing just a media effect? Is the Fake News media just playing up “normal” industrial accidents, as a means of “information terrorism” that the media is so skilled at performing for their corporate masters?
Or maybe some of BOTH?
The first time I heard about an egg-laying facility in super-progressive New Zealand catching fire, I realized things were getting very REAL, and potentially UNREAL at the same time. Because of the years of extreme fakery and lies coming from the Ardern regime, I figured something might be up – real or not.
The second time I heard about that egg-laying facility catching fire, a thought fully formed.
I think it's coordinated employment of "climate" and "animal rights" activists who've managed to sneak into operations globally. Same mentality as the ones who attack paintings, but those attacks are a diversion. I think this was coordinated with WEF by radical groups.
I know from certain sources that the FBI was, at one time, very heavy in following the “animal rights” groups and protesters. Ironically, because FBI is extremely woke now, and because agents at a certain level pick their own cases, this enforcement has languished.
Just ask Gail Combs about the tolerance of climate and animal activists by the regime (see comments below, and references to prior posts). They are used in a one-sided war against independent operations and small farmers, on behalf of government and large corporate interests.
Part of the reason governments are not responding well to these arsons of food processors, IMO, is because they are ideologically aligned with the arsonists.
Take Canada, for instance, ruled by “Baby Castro” Trudeau – who is WEF incarnate.
The Government is hiring 'Environmental Enforcement Officers' that will be armed with batons, pepper spray, and handcuffs. This looks like a police force ready to execute search warrants if you don't follow the Government's climate laws. https://t.co/YqB2Donjfd#BowRiver#cdnpolipic.twitter.com/ZaH0RousuY
These government agencies are not looking out for us. They’re looking out for the hoaxy, insane, climate narrative, and those who benefit from it.
Anyway, I am creating this post, in part to create a nice tweetable LINK to advance the theory of INFILTRATION AND SABOTAGE/ARSON OF FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES – likely by climate commies and animal rights activists, in coordination with WEF’s climate and “EAT ZEE BUGS” agendas.
Please feel free to add anything you’d like in the comments. I want to make sure that there is a strong PUSHBACK on these dangerous climate ninnies and their fellow animal rights crazies. Not to mention the evil, insane, and dangerous World Economic Forum, and the evil forces behind it.
If they win, we won’t just be eating bugs. We’ll be eating grass – like my mother did in World War II.
In cases of religious mass suicide/homicide, such as Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, and Aum Shinrikyo, it is very difficult to regain a humanitarian understanding of the key participants after the infamy of defining events sears the conscience and redefines reality. Even more difficult, however, is the opposite – to BEGIN to think the unthinkable and speak …
How does a family dynasty keep control of a powerful public institution in an ideological environment that is largely hostile to dynasties?
The Sulzberger family uses three tools.
When I was working on my Jonestown series, it occurred to me that the internet might facilitate cults of unprecedented proportions, that rather than 1,000 people committing mass suicide, it could be millions. It’s increasingly clear that that’s exactly what the trans movement is.
Our Take: “What could possibly go wrong when a close-knit fraternity of sociopaths has the ability to observe your brain-wave patterns and punish you for your thoughts?
The same people who called Donald John Trump a dictator are probably ogling over this Orwellian nightmare. Though, I suppose we might be at an advantage; we can more accurately predict what the uber-rich ruling class at Davos is thinking without the use of cutting edge technology. I defy anyone to watch this video and give me even one positive application of this technology.
Normally I’d say it is unlikely that anyone would willingly sign up for this, but the way people lined up for experimental drugs to be injected directly into their veins in response to a virus with a 99% survival rate suggests otherwise.

120And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens.” 21So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. 21Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation. 4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Arm yourself with knowledge and links to the scientific literature, for that moment when they try to spin the jab death of your friend or relative as mere “sudden death”, and you want an autopsy to prove it was the jab.
There was ONE MORE LAMENT in reply to ONE MORE TWEET about ONE MORE “SUDDEN DEATH” that just pissed me off ONE TIME TOO MANY.
That person made the most AMAZING point.
Remember all those Hollywood tales – those geeky murder mysteries – about noble coroners and medical examiners – those brave pathologists who risked their “gun-free” lives to tell the world the TRUTH about some sinister hidden murder?
Yeah? Well, WHERE THE HELL IS QUINCY NOW?
It’s not like there’s no suspect.

There are THOUSANDS of these tweets – dozens more every week – maybe a dozen a day about FAMOUS PEOPLE. The numbers of obscure, anonymous plebes like us, dying “suddenly” of “unknown causes”, must be a thousand a day, in America alone. Or maybe even more.

We say NO to their “eat zee bugs”.
We say NO to their defective, cell nucleus-penetrating, gene-hacking jab.

The point is that coroners, pathologists, and medical examiners are being FORCED, by the neo-liberal, NEO-SOVIET state, to PRETEND NOT TO KNOW that it’s the jabs.
What these “neo-Bolsheviks” are doing, is to force their insistence that good Bolsheviks “pretend not to know”, on the rest of us, who DO KNOW, and who are willing to admit it.
All you have to do, is to say NO, when the coroners try to pass that bullshit on to YOU.
If YOU have a “sudden death” in your family or circle of friends, you don’t have to take a diagnosis of “unknown causes”, or worse yet, “blame-casting” to lifestyle, climate change, or whatever else they come up with on the fly.
You do NOT have to play stupid to coroner and medical examiner “authority”.
You have the power to FORCE THE CORONER – LEGALLY – to examine for a specific cause of death, and to give you ALL the evidence, by freedom of information. That way, even if they LIE TO YOUR FACE, you can take the results to another pathologist, and have the results CONTRADICTED PUBLICLY.
What you need – when they play dumb – is (1) a lawyer, and (2) SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE.
You need to TELL THEM – ahead of the autopsy, that you EXPECT them to test relevant tissue for evidence of damage by the jab, and if they say it can’t be done, you TELL them you’re going to send them the necessary scientific literature on how to do it, and that you will have the lawyer send it to them by registered mail.
We are giving you the scientific literature now, so that you have it handy. Having a lawyer’s name and number ready, so that you can be “insistent” on an autopsy, is your responsibility.
Here is the relevant scientific literature – in TWO LINKS (plus backups).
You can download and print out these two PDF files, so that – in the best tradition of a Quincy episode, you can throw back your 80’s hair and SLAP THAT ROLLED-UP PAPER in the coroner’s chest, and tell him (or her):
“IF YOU CAN’T DO IT, THEN CALL QUINCY!”
They may tell you “it’s expensive”. You laugh in their faces. And then you TELL THEM WHY. Whether you join a future class action suit against Pfizer and Moderna, or whether you go to the Deep State Vaccine Payoff Board, either way, PROOF OF INJURY is how you will get it all paid back, with INTEREST.
Report published today show the case of a 76 year-old man with Parkinson’s who died 3 weeks after receiving his 3rd Covid jab.
The family of the deceased requested an autopsy. MRNA spike protein detected in both the brain and heart of the deceased man.https://t.co/YGYlUDB2cK
