“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

It’s GALLERY NIGHT, wherein our intrepid “print screen photographer” and “substitute bartender” presents his “artistic screen shots” of the Defeat The Mandates rally in Washington, DC.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we will continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Tonight’s drink special is not ethanol, but rather a different alcohol – epinephrine – a.k.a. – ADRENALINE.
Stay tuned! We’ll explain later!

It looks like SANTA is still somewhere NORTH of the border, but he’s bringing FREEDOM!

Playing on the Jukebox
Well, we were looking for some stuff that was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT on the persnickety jukebox, and look what we found near the end of the last slider…..
EPIC COWBOY/WESTERN ROCK.
What the FREAKIN’ ‘ELL.
https://youtu.be/I8gr2hmIbew
Not sure what’s wrong enough with me to like this, but if you don’t enjoy this crazed version of cowboy, try an even crazier version of “Indian”.
And I mean that BOTH WAYS.
This stuff looks straight out of Burning Man.
And while that’s kind of interesting, it’s not about the kind of FREEDOM that goes with the ART on the wall tonight.
SO – we add some EPIC FREEDOM MOOD MUSIC for your GALLERY TOUR tonight.
That’s more like it.
And now, the rules of the pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
And in the following video, you can actually hear the HOWL of WOLF MOON, telling MAFIA NAN exactly how he felt, when her Praetorian guard fired GRENADES upon a crowd filled with GRANDPARENTS, WOMEN and CHILDREN on January 6.
The Truth About Our January Sixth Protest I was there, and I am PROUD of it. I am proud of the thousands and thousands of patriots who showed up to make an historic statement that the other side could only TRY to stop, by besmirching its beauty with their LIES and TRICKERY. Yes, their LIES …
Current Art On The Wall
We have a really interesting PHOTOGRAPHY exhibit in the bar this week. Consider this to be “gallery night”.
Prints are available FREE by right-clicking – or whatever you need to do on your device.
We have more pictures than just this collection, but these are some of the best. Enjoy a selection of magical moments from the DEFEAT THE MANDATES rally in Washington, DC last Sunday.

And over in the corner, THIS RIGHTEOUS RANT is playing on a loop on our FREEDOM TV.
If you haven’t seen it, watch it. If you have seen it, watch it AGAIN!
One of the thing that tells me science is really out of whack right now, is the fact that scientists are discouraged from doing simple, plain-Jane things that would actually make vaccines safer for the general public, but are instead encouraged to go off in other, riskier, sexier, more profitable directions, while protected by a kind of “media umbrella of propaganda” which justifies, and rationalizes, but does not convince the HONEST skeptic and investigator.
In a sense, we still have the same sort of “patent medicine killers” of the late 19th century, with their poisonous potions – we’ve just changed WHO it is who is allowed to kill people and make money with bad medicines.
The fact that the very first COVID vaccines were of a risky, barely understood, and rather experimental type (mRNA or viral vector, i.e. genetic, full spike, in humans), while EASIER, FASTER, CHEAPER, SAFER, and much more familiar and better-understood vaccine types (protein or glycoprotein antigen, subunit) were IGNORED and SLOW-WALKED until later – well, it would have boggled my mind a long time ago, but no longer.
In my opinion, the “science”, if you can call it that, was guided by FAUCI PATENTS, rather than by what would have been best for patients AND for vaccine science.
The point about damage to vaccine science ITSELF is a point that Robert Malone often makes, which is critical. The people behind the bad, biased, self-interested, money-making vaccine choices, didn’t just screw THE PEOPLE – they screwed up the SCIENCE.
Let me be blunt. When people LIKE ME attack Tony Fauci, we’re not attacking science.
We’re attacking ABUSE OF SCIENCE by an OUT-OF-CONTROL BUREAUCRAT, aided by MERCENARY GLOBAL CORPORATIONS.
Tony Fauci is biased and corrupted by many sick and damaging compromises and ties to the industry he is SUPPOSED to be countering when necessary on America’s behalf – NOT coddling at every personally beneficial turn.
And all of this WRONGNESS was created under the cover of Francis Collins, who was used as a very phony TOTEM of “ethics” and “morality”. The man was pimped to the masses as a great Christian, as if that meant he WOULD and COULD do something about bureaucratic ethics and morality, while those very virtues he was meant to represent but not interfere with, were UNDONE by a series of corrupt administrations.
There is a LOT that is wrong with government regulation of science and medicine right now, and we need to talk about it.
Tonight, I’d like to talk about just ONE point of vaccine science which is weirdly out of whack, and protected ONLY by propaganda – and that is vaccine localization.
That means MAKING THE VACCINE STAY PUT WHERE YOU INJECT IT.
Obviously this is not working. OK? I’ll just be blunt.
One of the points frequently made against actual science on social media, mostly by CCP propagandists, IMO, is that vaccines simply do not leave the injection site, and thus all these systemic and distant effects which people allege to have been caused by vaccines, could not possibly have been caused by the vaccines. I saw this canard far more often than I should have, because people, generally, are not prepared to debate it.
Even when people just argue the evidence back and forth, because the reality is fuzzy and moves around between “localizes” and “migrates”, the argument itself is a fantastic deflection by the “protectors of vaccines”. Instead of talking about the very real problems caused by even LIMITED MIGRATION of vaccines, we’re one step removed from the problems.
These sorts of arguments – that the spike protein vaccines could NOT be migrating from the injection site – were completely undone by the Pfizer data obtained from Japan.
Yes, it was animals, and yes, it was perhaps at an over-sized dose, but the numbers themselves were SO substantial that these kinds of factors basically “factor out”. There is NO DOUBT from this data that there is a RISK of migration of “vaccine which infects cells and cranks out [highly pathogenic] spike protein which is HOPEFULLY dealt with cleanly by the immune system”.
The propaganda that vaccines don’t migrate was CLEARLY violated by the case at hand. That propaganda disappeared rather quickly, although I still hear it from nurses, and just bite my tongue.
Further – shockingly – the idea that the lipid nanoparticles containing the vaccine mRNA (basically what are called “virus-like particles” when injected as part of wasp venom) could actually have time to persist as part of skin lipids and BE SHED – well, it’s rather obvious from the data that this is a very real possibility.
The SKIN is an organ just like everything else. Everything else meaning all the OTHER organs that were getting the vaccine mixed into THEIR lipids in shocking amounts for a very long period of time.
Suddenly the CRAZIEST of the conspiracy theories about the mRNA vaccines was LITERALLY – and I mean LITERALLY – biophysically possible.
I had previously come up with a marginally feasible idea that maybe the spike protein itself was not just toxic, but HORMONE-LEVEL ACTIVE, to explain what people were reporting. But with the Pfizer data, I didn’t need any of that. The VACCINE ITSELF was ready to be shed.
And Pfizer hid this. Yeah. I can kinda see why.
So – if I may – let’s just set aside this foolishness that vaccines don’t migrate, and never have systemic or distant effects, because they do. It’s VARIABLE, but it’s REAL.
So why don’t people DO anything about this?
Why not do things that would absolutely ensure that vaccines CANNOT leave the injection site?
I can imagine a lot of things that MIGHT do this, but had never heard about any adjuvants or additives or vaccine designs that could effectively localize vaccines to arm or shoulder muscle, and simply make sure they didn’t migrate to even the slightest degree.
Solve THAT problem and pericarditis is GONE – RIGHT?
So why not do it? And why not BRAG about it if you CAN do it? Why not say how it’s done?
CRICKETS.
FAST FORWARD to a recent bit of knowledge that I happened upon IN REAL LIFE.
I noticed that I was somewhat jittery after having some minor dental work done. I was quite numb for the work, but later, after leaving the dentist’s office, with the numbness now faded, I noticed that I was shaky, edgy, and “wired”. That went away over the rest of the day. I just assumed that it was a side effect of the anesthetic.
I mentioned this to an anesthesiologist and a nurse, who both explained to me that it was NOT due to the anesthetic, but rather to epinephrine, which is sometimes ADDED to an injectable anesthetic in order to LOCALIZE it.
They explained to me that by epinephrine constricting the blood vessels in the region where the anesthetic is injected, the body removes less of the anesthetic by drawing it away in the blood stream – so the anesthetic STAYS at the site of the injection, giving a longer duration of anesthesia.
Sure enough, when I looked this up online, I found out it is quite real.
So I immediately thought to myself – why not do the same thing with vaccines?
Why not try to localize them with something like epinephrine?
But when I looked THAT up, the only results that I got, were for use of epinephrine (you know, as in the EPI PEN) in treating anaphylactic reactions TO vaccines. I probably didn’t look hard enough, but I’m not trying to get a patent or anything like that.
So who knows? It may be that adding epinephrine to vaccines could actually be GOOD in terms of reducing the severity of anaphylactic reactions – in addition to localizing the vaccine.
However, the possible technical feasibility of doing something isn’t my point.
My main point is simply ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM.
If you could simply make these DAMN mRNA vaccines STAY where you put them, and if they didn’t crank out a bunch of bad stuff into the blood stream, then perhaps the only long-term risk would be something like cancer AT THE SITE OF INJECTION.
However, let’s be real. Nobody even TALKS about the problem. The media just DENIES IT.
In my opinion, “they” aren’t addressing this problem, because it gets on the way of “their” real purpose or purposes.
Vaccine localization is the last thing that these people wanted to “solve” here.
The people who CONTROL science and medicine don’t have to tell us about their entire agenda. They only have to tell us things that are somewhat plausible and rational.
In my opinion, mandatory vaccination is a PLATFORM for SOCIALISTS to do whatever they want to whomever they want. It gives them cart blanche to change society without accountability. That is the big picture, and has been their objective for well over 100 years.
Look at what communists are doing to Uighurs in Communist China RIGHT NOW.
They want to experiment on you, they experiment on you.
They want to kill you, they kill you.
Doing things which do not contribute to, or which would actually IMPEDE their “unholy grail” goal of direct control over humans, is simply NOT going to happen, if THEY can help it.
But that doesn’t mean that WE can’t give them a BAD HAIR DAY, EVERY SINGLE DAY, and fight for WHAT IS RIGHT in science and medicine.
defederalization of science
destalinization of medicine (de-obamatization in practice)
force ethics and transparency where socialists don’t want them
bring anti-deception tools and language INTO science itself
chase politics out of science, acting in both of them

One of the obstacles to full understanding of just what the enemy is all about revolves around the concept of symbolism.
Fire
Fire is one of those symbols that’s been around from very ancient times. One website lays out a number of places fire is seen in history, other than in Christianity where it is actually important.
At the Easter Vigil, the very first thing that happens is the blessing of the Pascal Candle and the fire. The congregation walks into Church to the chant of “Christ our light” responding “Thanks be to God.”
The secret societies that we oppose on the other hand, use the eternal flame as a symbol, which makes the grave of one President John F. Kennedy the ultimate troll since he went up against the cabal.

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.

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

For those interested, Brian Holdsworth has a recent talk with another revert of sorts on a range of topics involving Christianity, art, community and philosophy. It kept my attention on the treadmill. Just click on the link.
KT McFarland – Germany has no intention of backing Biden, won’t be sending NATO troops, they desperately need LNG and oil from Russia for heat and gas now and more so next year 8500 troops to Eastern Europe? Where specifically, to do what? Press left confused after today’s conference Biden wants to be seen as doing something 🙄
Monday afternoon, MonkeyWerx surfaced from his cold/flu coma to actually try to convince the audience that war really is imminent.
Anonymous Conservative is adding headlines to support the concept that Putin is being the aggressor.
“Fully one-third of Russia’s GDP is from its oil and gas production. Polish and Ukrainian natural resource extraction is minuscule. If the 144 million Russians had to share their oil and gas income with the 44 million Ukrainians, their GDP per capita would fall near 20% from $11,000 to close to $9,000. By comparison, U.S. GDP per capita was $63,544 in 2020.
The Russians don’t have the spare funds to invade Ukraine and fix up Ukrainian roads and pay their pensions. The Russian Army developed a nice new tank, the T-14, but can’t afford to build more than a handful. The Russian Air Force developed a new fighter, the Su-57, but can pay for only a token number of them. Russian irredentism, if there is any, has to wait for a much, much higher oil price. Meanwhile, the adults in the room should be conferring on the China threat.”
All of it adds up to the very real possibility that the whole Russia/Ukraine thing is a smokescreen.
Anytime the [DS] needs to create a distraction or gin up more money, we in the west end up in a war no one wants.
And now the push is on to provoke Putin into a war that’s going to put a crimp in his petroleum profits when the Russian military is not really as strong as reported?
Who is running the [DS] these days?
It’s like the brain trust is gone.
Oh, wait….

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.
1Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2And he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3“Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; 6and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away. 7Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” 9And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” 10And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables. 11And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables; 12so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven.” 13And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14The sower sows the word. 15And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them. 16And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. 18And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word, 19but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
“Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace. Peace will be the last word of history” – St. Pope John Paul II

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.
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.

Anyone have a blacklight and would consideration be given to duplicating the results of this experiment?
In the battle over voting rights, an idea is starting to move around in Republican circles: designated police forces designed to hunt down voter fraud. You can see the problem when you are dealing with intelligence operations, though. Anything you create, any organization, any position, will just become a target for infiltration and subversion. And once taken over, its existence, combined with its assurance to the public there is no problem, actually works against you, inducing complacency in the populace. The first thing which must happen, and the only real solution, is schooling the populace in how intelligence operations work, and how they are the threat and the problem. So long as the population is naive to the machinations of intelligence, there will be no government of, by, and for the people.
Democrats are already showing early signs of questioning the legitimacy of the elections in 2022 and 2024. Theoretically, if I were Q and had taken control of the Cabal machinery, and was looking to wake up everybody, first I would blatantly steal the election from Trump to wake up Republicans to the fact our elections were fraudulent, then I would make sure the Democrats felt the 2022 election was fraudulent and stolen from them. Once both sides felt robbed by a corrupt, rigged system, and saw they had no control, then a reveal of the fraud and implementation of a fix would be accepted by both sides.
This describes most people in my circles. Lots of degrees. Not much in the way of sense.
Who wants to go after Obama’s college records?

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.
And now for some mood music:
Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

By now, I have learned to keep my reactions pretty close to my chest. There is such a thing as reacting too soon before more information is released, and it’s easy to make assumptions if you don’t see the whole picture. There’s power in observation.
1But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. 4And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; 6but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Anani’as. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Anani’as.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, 12and he has seen a man named Anani’as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” 13But Anani’as answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem; 14and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.” 15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” 17So Anani’as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized, 19and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus. 20And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He is the Son of God.” 21And all who heard him were amazed, and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests.” 22But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
The Business At Hand
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).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL ….. RISE to the occasion!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
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.
Try to live up to the FOUNDERS.
Value FREEDOM over COMFORT.
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.

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 enemies, perhaps that they might not fear our prayers, nor scoff at them, but simply HEED them and be blessed.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
I’ve decided to go straight for the “epic” genre tonight. Back from ROCK’N’ROLL and COUNTRY BABES to some CORE WHEATIE. But maybe with a WOLF SPIN.
Let’s start off with some EPIC VIOLIN….
Interesting, but not quite the real McCoy for classical fans.
So how about the same sort of thing, with “epic classical”?
Here you go!
And yet…. I’m still searching for something else.
Maybe a little “Epic Pop”?
AH. That’s what I wanted.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
…..and speaking of “getting out”, there are a HERD of RINOs who could be evicted this spring! Are we up to the task?
Who Are The RINOs?
There are too many – FAR to many – to detail here.
So I’ve selected just three of the RINOs who HAVE TO GO.
All of these RINOs have let us down – not by fake plots like the “Trump let us down” crap that was mouthed by “Buffalo Boy” / “QAnon Shaman” on the orders of Deep State and Woke Military, but by actually acting like DEMOCRATS and letting us down.
There will be more. This is just the beginning.
SUNDANCE has a GREAT POST about how we need to NOT just say “AWW, SHUCKS – cOvID is over – let’s just forgive the tyrants” – NO. There must be an ANSWERING for what was done.
If you see RINOs backing off and backing down, you know why. They know that they kowtowed and genuflected to the WRONG TYRANNY.
Let’s start off with the biggest loser in the bunch.
Doug Ducey – Arizona Senate
Horrible RINO Doug Ducey, governor of Arizona, who allowed the UniParty to steal the election from Trump, is no friend of the people. Term-limited to two terms, he can’t remain governor – but that doesn’t stop the UniParty from finding a new place to park his RINO azz.
The wicked OLD CROW Shanghai Mitch is pushing the election theft-protecting RAT Doug Ducey to run for the Senate, to help in Mitch’s CHINO-RINO plans.
So far, “The Deuce” hasn’t signed on, but keep an eye on this dastardly plot.
RINOs. They fight extinction….. HARD!
Greg Abbott – Texas Governor
Remember when it was Abbott vs. DeSantis for the title of “Most Trumpian governor”?
Well, look at who COVID and THE BORDER destroyed.
THE PEOPLE have a way of seeing ALL TALK and NO ACTION.
Not sure what happened to Abbott, but he has NOT been stepping up strongly.
So who has? STAY TUNED.
Mike DeWine – Ohio Governor
Mike DeWine is a nice guy, but there are millions of nice guys who are not equipped to be a wartime governor – much less fight a war against tyranny – against sinister forces – both foreign and domestic.
The enemy was quickly identified as not being COVID per se, but rather a coalition of self-interested VULTURES. Radical leftists, resurgent Soviets, European globalists, DC bureaucrats, psychotic elites, woke corporations, Big Pharma, virtue-signaling science and professional organizations, rogue intelligence agencies, the DNC, and Chinese hegemonists – and that’s before we start at the bottom with Mask Karens and vaxx pushers.
A conspiracy of instincts and interests – of people who have designs to plunder this great nation, and have already staked far too big a claim on Ohio.
MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS, FORMING A MASS OF NPCs.
DeWine made a HUGE mistake with his mask mandates and Amy Acton-inspired COVID buffoonery. Republicans tried to warn him as it became clear that we were being snookered by the leftists and globalists, but DeWine failed to listen.
Eventually people figured it out. Mike DeWine is John Kasich’s third term, just like Biden is Obama’s third term.
Do we REALLY want a fourth Kasich term?
UniParty Republicans have been good for business when the business was selling out America, but now that America’s gas tank is almost EMPTY, maybe it’s time for people who actually understand that profiting on a CHINA FUND isn’t actually WINNING.
Why DeWine is so beholden to the Dems and China is beyond me, but it may have something to do with Columbus, Ohio being a deep blue zone that runs a bright red state. I think the statehouse is basically OWNED by the surrounding turf, and the Democrats communists are able to control or at least influence the perceptions of everybody in Ohio politics.
In any case, DeWine is a RISK to Ohio. The left manipulates him with impunity. He’s a nice guy – he’s an easy candidate to sell to DEMOCRATS – but he’s also UTTERLY CONTROLLABLE by the DNC.
There ARE other choices.
And not just in MASKS.
Who Will Send the RINOs and DEMs Packing?
Looking at the three RINOs above, and in Ducey’s case, the office that he’s leaving, let’s see who is “chasing out the RINOs”.
Technically, it was TERM LIMITS that sent Dupey Ducey out of office, to be swooned by the OLD CROW himself, Mitch McConnell, to run for one of Arizona’s two Senate seats. There are several Republicans running for governor now. ALL of them appear solid on the issues, but the one that MAGA loves, and the left fears the most, is clearly Kari Lake.
The EVIL BITCH Katie Hobbs is running for Arizona governor on the Dem ticket because her “life out of jail” depends on it. More wicked Maricopa County cheating may keep Hobbs out of jail, too – but if anybody can beat her, it’s Kari Lake, so Hobbs is ALREADY gearing up against Lake on a “Kari is QAnon” platform.
Trust me – when Kari Lake is done with cheatin’ Katie Hobbs, Katie’s gonna look like the CAT LADY she is.
Don’t let Arizona become the next California or New Mexico. Kari Lake is the FIREWALL.
My, how Allen West has outlived the UniParty machine that always painted HIM as the whack-a-doodle – only for that machine to go along with the utter INSANITY we see coming out of Washington now.

(Hat Tip sundance)
The people who went along with all this crap need to be REMOVED.
End of story.
Yeah, Abbott ain’t Muriel Bowser or Kate Brown, but he’s no DeSantis. And speaking of which…..
Ohio – Jim Renacci or Joe Blystone
Ohio Republicans have a problem. They have three main choices for governor.
“Milquetoast” Mike DeWine, who will INEVITABLY order fresh mandates – to the ability that he can – if the Democrats and China release another virus.
“Constitutional Conservative” Joe Blystone – a “guilty pleasure” candidate who the MSM absolutely loves to inflate, then harass and scandalize, because he’s an easy target, with an utterly chaotic “Farmer Joe” campaign.
“Ohio’s DeSantis” Jim Renacci – who the media and UniParty absolutely DO NOT want anybody to realize is an option, and having been rather successful in that regard.
In my opinion, Blystone is the most like a Trump voter, but Renacci is the most like Trump. Do the math.
The media is clearly elevating Blystone to try to STOP a Renacci challenge, and keep DeWine in office, nice and controlled.
Renacci has LITERALLY promised to govern like Florida’s Ron DeSantis. Renacci also picked a very interesting Lieutenant Governor candidate to run with him – somebody very skilled with MSM-independent media messaging – an Ohio-based Christian film producer named Joe Knopp.
You may remember one of his films.
Knopp did a documentary on Trump, seen through the women around him, and in doing so, was spurred to enter politics.
Here is a great article on Knopp and how he became Renacci’s co-candidate.
Ultimately, in the general election, I will support ANY of these three against WHOEVER the Demon Dems decide to run. But for the primary, I think the smart money is on Renacci. He’s always been in the Ohio Republican machine, but he’s “new machine” – Trump era.
Blystone? In my opinion, his winning the primary leads by any of several paths to a succession of Democrat governors. And that is the LEAST of the reasons why the Democrats are behind him.
Trump was a finely tuned weapon that we aimed at the mess in Washington, and hit a bullseye.
Renacci would be the same for Ohio.
Blystone is a stinkbomb that we would enjoy throwing into the Statehouse – for ONE TERM MAX, and more likely ZERO TERMS.
Renacci has experience – as a mayor, as a Congressman, and as a businessman. I think he’s the guy.
And he can always appoint Blystone as Secretary of Cleaning Out RINOs.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
stalking horse
noun
A horse used as cover by a hunter stalking game
A candidate put forward instead of any of several potentially successful candidates in order to initiate a leadership debate, gauge feelings, divide opposition, etc.
A stalking horse is a figure used to test a concept or mount a challenge on behalf of an anonymous third party. If the idea proves viable or popular, the anonymous figure can then declare its interest and advance the concept with little risk of failure. If the concept fails, the anonymous party will not be tainted by association with the failed concept and can either drop the idea completely or bide its time and wait until a better moment for launching an attack.
Used in a sentence:
In American politics, George W. Romney believed that Nelson Rockefeller had used him as a stalking horse in the 1968 Republican Party presidential primaries by promising support, then not providing it and hinting at his own entry into the campaign.

Isaiah 43:7 “. . . everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
Glory to God in the highest . . .
So, how is it that God is glorified through us? There are many ways to do this but let’s look at just one way we can glorify God.
GLORIFY GOD BY BELIEVING IN HIM
If the chief end of man is to glorify God, then this is only truly possible when we are most satisfied in Him. Straight away we see something significant here. When we think of praise or glory that is given to someone, sometimes it can be of gratitude and other times we can think of it as a chore, or something we need to do in order to obtain favor. When we think of giving glory to God, we can often and very easily fall into the trap of thinking of it as a demand and that, it just has to be done.
From the Christian and Biblical viewpoint this is the very opposite of the intent. We fail to understand that everything God requires of us is “ultimately” for our good. God is for us and not against us. In order to fully fulfill the reason for our creation, then what God’s Word says is that; it is only when we glorify God, fulfilling our very purpose – it is then and only then that our souls are truly satisfied, feel complete and fulfilled. Anything outside of this will keep us wanting and unfulfilled, no matter what and how we try to fill that hole. By glorifying God, we are pursuing our joy in Him.
In order for us to come to the place of pursuing our joy in Him and glorying God, it is essential for us to be saved. We must come in repentance of our sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ through faith in Him, accepting the free gift of the sacrifice of the Christ on the cross as an atonement for our sins.
In this way we will stand justified before God the Father. Hebrews 11:6 says “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and the He rewards those who seek Him.”
If we reject the reason for our creation, which is to glorify God, and we reject Christ by not believing in His Name, then God’s Word also explains and shows us the outcome of pursuing our satisfaction outside of God. Jeremiah 2:12-13 says “Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the LORD, for My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.” God’s Word says that God is against anyone that does not seek their joy in God.
Again in Deuteronomy 28:47-48 saying “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the LORD will send against you.” And this is exactly what some people are doing. Worshiping their enemy.
Our ultimate enemy is Satan, and those without faith are enslaved to do the things that are of him and not of God. Those who are not of God, are in fact serving the purpose of their enemy – the devil, who wants to completely destroy us and keep us from the Father in heaven.
So, for those in this situation, wake up and do not serve our enemy any longer, but serve the living God who is for us and not against us. As it says in 1 Corinthians 15:34 “Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning.”
The word of God shows us the path that we should take in order to find our joy in God. When we pursue this joy in Christ, then it will lead us to glorify God. When we believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will find our ultimate joy in Him. Psalm 37:4 says “Delight in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.”, and again in Psalm 100:1-2 saying “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into His presence with singing!”
So by believing, we not only glorify God and find our fulfillment in Christ, but there is also great joy in doing so.
But it does not stop at only believing; this is just the beginning. The life that pleases and glorifies God is one that “keeps on growing in knowledge”. It is continually seeking to know God better.
At this point, a misunderstanding needs clarification. Growing in the knowledge of God is not the same as seeking to learn how to get more out of God for our own selfish needs. Don’t fall into the mentality of only being concerned with how we can tap into God’s resources, only to get prayers answered (the way we want to), and how to get God to meet our needs the way we want to, and banish all of our problems away. Is this truly loving God or is it really loving ourselves?
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!

SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom
I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?
中国是个混蛋 !!! Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!! China is asshoe !!!
And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:
OK, with that rant out of my system…
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
The So-Called Vax
I think I can actually make sense of the Vaxers now. (And I’m going to call it the “treatment” from here forward.)
Everything they do makes sense (from their point of view, that is), if you assume that they believe the purpose of the treatment is to prevent the recipient from infecting others. It’s not to protect the recipient from others, it’s to protect others from the recipient.
(Now it is true that an actual vax helps slow the spread of the disease. I know you can sometimes transmit a disease if vaxed, but it’s more difficult if you don’t actually don’t catch it. But I am not talking about the side-benefit of a real vax; I’m talking about what they think of THIS treatment, where, apparently the only benefit it confers is to prevent people from transmitting it.)
Under those circumstances, they can consider you selfish for not wanting to protect others. After all you refuse to take a treatment that will prevent others from catching the disease from you. And, indeed, they do consider you “selfish” and not in the positive way that Ayn Rand used the term.
But it’s yet another one of those things where ONE non-compliant individual ruins it for everyone else–at least, that’s what they think it is. ONE untreated person could infect the entire human race, because they aren’t protected from him.
Never mind that this is not what a vaccine is supposed to be doing. If you assume that the motherf*cking toilet licker in front of you shrieking about how you’re Satan Incarnate for not being jabbed believes that the sole purpose of the treatment is to prevent the recipient from spreading the disease–not to prevent the recipient from catching it–suddenly his behavior makes sense, at least based on what he believes (and you can’t expect anyone to behave in accordance with things they don’t believe).
So perhaps the best way to argue with these people is to simply point out calmly that a vaccine (their word) is supposed to protect the recipient from those with the disease [which of course we say] not prevent them from giving it to other people [identify their false premise and face it head on] they might actually feel like they’re being argued with, rather than talked past.
If you don’t confront their actual premise, arguing with them can accomplish nothing.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless 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 is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Mozart
Sedate. The adagio (2nd movement) from his clarinet concerto.
And a bit…less sedate. Last movement of his Symphony #41 which is the last one he wrote.
(Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s a Symphony #42, or 43, or…well up to #55 at least…as I explained last time the numbering isn’t really chronological. To the best of my knowledge he’s got at least 51 symphonies under his belt (though some are disputed), so if we were ever to renumber them, this one would be #51. But we never will renumber them; that would cause confusion for centuries.)
By the way, that sucker ends in a five part fugue. Not easy to write!

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.

Is this a break out? Platinum and palladium are up like gangbusters. Rhodium hasn’t moved much, but gold and silver are up fairly nicely (again, today they’re down, Thursday’s close was even higher).
Is the inflation of the “Fern” (Federal Reserve Note) finally manifesting?
JWST Update
The James Webb Space Telescope has succesfully deployed all 18 pieces of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror from their “stowed for launch” positions. That involved moving them half an inch (12.5mm) from where they were before, using the same actuators that will be used over the next three months for the next major phase of the mission.
I was surprised to see that NASA had slipped the L2 insertion burn a day. I didn’t think that was possible; at some point the spacecraft has reached where it needs to be to do this, and you don’t want to miss the window. Obviously, I don’t know all the details…because despite being originally scheduled for Sunday, it’s now slated for Monday.
At some point after that, I believe, they will begin the process of lining up the mirror segments with each other. They need to mimic a single parabolic mirror, and that will require them all to be re-positioned with accuracies of less than ten billionths of a meter. This will be done with the same motors that took the mirrors out of “stowed” position. That motion was a million times larger, yet the same actuators were responsible. It’s as if you had a combined brain surgery scalpel/chain saw for cutting things around the house. The mirror alignment is expected to take three months, and the impression I’ve received is that they will be done one at a time and checked with algorithms that have benefited people with certain visual impairments here on Earth (including one that I have). I have no idea how much, if any, NASA will be updating people during the process.
Meanwhile the sensors that these mirrors gather the light for, continue to cool and will also be brought on line and calibrated. We’re still looking at June for the first meaningful pictures, which will be false-color infrared pictures.
The First Exoplanets Not Orbiting Star Corpses
One Last Detection Method
There’s one more, rather rare, method of detecting extrasolar planets (or “Exoplanets” for short) and the surprising thing about this method is it actually has happened.
Occasionally we will see one (fairly close) star pass directly in front of a more distant star; the closer star will appear to be moving faster (more likely) than the distant one.
When that happens, the gravity of the nearer star bends some of the starlight from the more distant star, and that star is “gravitationally lensed.” More light from that star reaches us than would otherwise be the case and it gets brighter as the other star crosses in front of it.
This has actually been observed to happen. Furthermore, sometimes there’s a secondary “spike” in the brightness of the distant star, which we believe is due to gravitational lensing around a planet of the nearby star. It’s a lot weaker and of shorter duration than the main event, but it can be detected.
It seems incredibly unlikely that this should ever happen, but it has. A small (but significant) number of exoplanets have been detected this way. However, we’ll almost certainly never be able to confirm the planet by the same means, because the star would have to pass directly in front of yet another star for this to happen.
But that’s getting ahead of our story for tonight.
Patience Rewarded
Geoffrey WIlliam Marcy (b. 1954) was, in the early 1990s, chasing rainbows. He was having trouble with his main line of research, and was beginning to think he was a failure as an astrophysicist. So he decided to flame out with a bang…and search for exoplanets.
Remember that back then, this was something no one wanted to be caught dead trying to do; it smacked too much of looking for E.T.
That didn’t stop Marcy; he began trying to use the Doppler Shift method I described last week. And I should have been more careful describing it; it turns out it’s called the “Radial Velocity Method.”
He looked for years, and found nothing. His instruments weren’t sensitive enough to detect a small (Earth size, say, or smaller) planet, and there simply weren’t any indications of large planets, either. He had spent years looking for a signal of a large planet, in a large (and therefore long-period) orbit. This is what everyone expected. But, nothing.
But then in December, 1995, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, Swiss astronomers, reported having found an exoplanet in orbit around a star named 51 Pegasi.
“51 Pegasi” is a “Flamsteed designation” according to a system invented by John Flamsteed in the early 1700s; he essentially numbered the stars in each constellation, and 51 Pegasi is a star in the constellation Pegasus. Almost every naked-eye-visible star visible from England got a Flamsteed number. This includes stars that already had a Bayer designation (constellation name plus a Greek letter). For instance Betelgeuse, Alpha Orinonis, is also 58 Orionis according to the Flamsteed designation.
The upshot is that 51 Pegasi is a faint star, but is visible to the naked eye (barely) on a very dark night far away from city lights. In fact, it’s of almost exactly the same spectral class as our Sun; it’s a G2IV whereas our Sun is a G2V. It’s believed to be a bit older (6.1-8.1 billion years versus 4.6 billion) than our Sun.
But it’s a nice, ordinary star, maybe getting a bit long in the tooth, but a nice, ordinary star. Not some pulsar corpse of a star, made of solid neutronium, spewing massive amounts of radiation everywhere like a firehose as it spins like a top hundreds of times a second!
The planet was immediately designated 51 Pegasi b (according to that convention I complained about two weeks ago), and it fell to Marcy and his team mates to confirm it.
Which they almost immediately did.
It didn’t take long to do so. They were able to watch it orbit 51 Pegasi a couple of times, because this planet (originally dubbed Bellerophon, after the mythic rider of Pegasus, but now called Dimidium), has a 4.23 day year. So they could look for a Doppler “wobble” with that period, and they found it, immediately.This is a damned short year. Mercury is the closest planet to our Sun, and its year is 88 days.
In other words, no one expected such a short year, from any sort of planet.
But that wasn’t the biggest surprise. The planet’s mass is 0.46 Jupiter masses; in other words, it’s more massive than Saturn. It’s a gas giant!
OK, now if you remember back two weeks, I described what we expected a “typical” planetary system to look like…based on our own. And the gas giants should be far away from their stars. Not just because that’s what we see here, but because there’s simply no way they could form any closer to a star; it’s simply too hot for the ices, and the hydrogen and helium, to hang around long enough for the rocky core of such a planet to be able to capture them. Out at 5 AU, it is possible–that’s Jupiter’s distance–but at 0.05 AU, where 51 Pegasi b is, no way!
That sound you’re imagining is the sound of bullshit meters pegging in the skulls of every astronomer and astrophysicist in the world.
But here was a discovery, from Switzerland, confirmed by a team in the United States, of something that shouldn’t exist.
Well, OK…maybe the planet formed farther out and somehow migrated inwards? Seems unlikely, but it could happen. Current thinking is that much of the time, planet formation is a very chaotic process and planets, as they form, fling other planets clear out of the planetary system, to wander forever in interstellar space as “rogue” planets. Or planets can be flung into their stars. Or into some close orbit.
But it gets better: Marcy and his team may not have bagged the first planet orbiting a normal star, but they had been gathering spectroscopic data from hundreds of stars for years. When they went back and looked–this time for very short period signals instead of ones with periods of several years–they found a lot of exoplanets like 51 Pegasi b.
Within two months, Marcy’s team was able to announce planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris (the Big Bear) and 70 Virginis (Virgo).
47 Ursae Majoris b is at least a bit more normal. The parent star is again, very much like our Sun. The planet orbits in just under 3 years at a distance of 2.1 AU. But it is at least 2.5 times as massive as Jupiter. (Remember that masses found by the Doppler method are minimums; if the orbit is tilted with respect to our line of sight, then some of the velocity of the star induced by the planet is transverse, rather than radial and the Doppler effect is smaller than it “should” be…meaning the planet is more massive than the signal would indicate.)
That’s still a bit close to its star for a gas giant. And yes, as mentioned, it’s a bigger planet than Jupiter. How big can a planet get? Once it gets to be about 10-14 Jupiter masses, it’s considered a “brown dwarf” star since some nuclear fusion of rare isotopes of hydrogen and helium can (and does) occur.
(Today, we know there are two other planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris orbiting at 3.6 and 11.6 AUs. That outer planet takes almost 40 years to orbit and has the distinction of being the longest-period planet ever discovered by the radial velocity method.)
70 Virginis is a star a bit more massive than the Sun and might be starting to swell into a red giant phase. It has a planet orbiting it, about 7.5 Jupiter masses…and it’s in a 116 day orbit. Although not as extreme as 51 Pegasi b, it’s too close to be a gas giant. But the bigger surprise is that the orbit’s eccentricity is 0.4!
One of the other things we expected, based on our own Solar System, was that planets would be in almost circular orbits. A circular orbit has an eccentricity of 0.0. 0.4 starts looking distinctly oval shaped.
Red: Eccentricity 0 (a circular orbit) Green: Eccentricity 0.2 Cyan: Eccentricity 0.4 Orange: Eccentricity 0.6 Magenta: Eccentricity 0.8 All orbits have the same semimajor axis (that’s half of the width of the ellipse, measured the long way), so the planets shown have the same period. Note how much the magenta planet speeds up and slows down, though.
(Mercury is the most eccentric planetary orbit in our Solar System, at about 0.2. Which is why it was possible to spot the precession of its aphelion so easily, as figured into Einstein’s discovery of general relativity.)
A large planet in an eccentric orbit will tend to destabilize things in orbits in between its periastron (closest approach) and apoastron (furthest distance) from the star it’s orbiting. So this is yet more evidence of chaos in planetary system formation.
Many of Marcy’s exoplanets turned out to be gas giants orbiting “too close” to their stars…so we’ve given this absurd-seeming class of planets a name: we call them “Hot Jupiters.”
And they don’t seem to make sense. But they were, for a while, by far the most common kind of planet we knew of.
But…and this is an important lesson…that is because they were far and away the easiest to detect! They orbited close to their parent star (which increased the Doppler wobble) and they are massive (which increases the Doppler wobble). Remember, a nice normal planet like Earth would be undetectable by this method! So of course they didn’t find anything like Earth, because they couldn’t.
Kepler Space Telescope (2009-2018)
Fast forward to 2009. The business of looking for exoplanets is now very respectable.
And NASA launched a space telescope named Kepler, after Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who first identified the laws of planetary orbital motion. There couldn’t be a better choice of name.
This was a very specialized instrument. It did exactly one thing. It hunted for exoplanets.
It simply stared at a patch of sky near the constellation Cygnus (the Swan, it contains the Northern Cross). It continuously stared at 150,000 stars all at once, watching their brightness.
Kepler Field Of View
What was it doing? It was applying the transit method of detecting extrasolar planets.
If you recall, this method relies on the planet crossing between us and the star it’s orbiting. This is a very unlikely configuration (the orbit could be tilted at any angle with respect to the line of sight; it has to be very, very close to crossing directly through our line of sight to see the planet move in front of its star). But if you’re looking at a hundred and fifty thousand stars all at once, you will get some hits. If there are any planets. And remember that if you can detect a planet this way, you won’t just get its mass and its orbital period, you’ll get a good estimate of its physical size…and hence you’ll be able to compute its density. And that tells you whether it’s made of rocks or gas…or ice.
In other words, we could collect a statistically meaningful sample to find out just how common exoplanets really were (many times as common as were detected, because most planets won’t transit as seen from here). The transit method is more sensitive and can detect planets closer to Earth-like if it works at all.
One vital condition of “earthlike” is the size of the planet…but another is its distance from the star it’s orbiting. We want to know if the planet is at a temperature where water can be a liquid on its surface. And that requires that it be in the “Goldilocks zone.” Not too hot, not too cold…but just right. More formally, this is called the star’s habitable zone. This is about 1 AU out for a star the size (and brightness) of our sun. Most stars are smaller and cooler and their habitable zones are closer to the star as a consequence.
The mission ran until 2018, when Kepler ran out of fuel. It was switched off on November 15th, the 388th anniversary of Johannes Kepler’s death.
And Kepler found 2,662 confirmed exoplanets–plus an additional 3600 unconfirmed candidates. Every star that seemed to have planets got a Kepler number, e.g., Kepler 1544, so the exoplanets have imaginative names like Kepler-1544 b.
In many cases multiple planets were detected orbiting a star.
A handful of these planets orbit in the habitable zone and appear to be rocky planets. In fact, Kepler-1544 b is one of them. Its radius is 1.78 times as much as Earth, and the mass is 3.84 times as much as Earth.
There are a number of these “Super Earths,” in fact, many not in their stars’ habitable zones. It’s hard, even with this method, to detect smaller planets. The planet orbits at about .54 AU with a year of 168 days. This is NOT too close to the star, however, because Kepler-1544 is a cooler star than our Sun. In fact most finds seem to have been around stars markedly cooler than the Sun.
Want to see the list? Here you go, knock yourself out.
Here’s another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-1649 . This star appears to have both a Venus-like planet and an Earth like planet in orbit about it. The star itself is a red dwarf, so the planets orbit at less than 0.1 AU, and their years are 8 and 19 days long, respectively.
Post Kepler
Kepler did a lot of work, but others have been adding to the count.
One system that is famous right now is TRAPPIST-1. It’s 39 light years away in the direction of Aquarius, and is 9% as massive as the Sun–hence much cooler in temperature. In 2016-17, astronomers at the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope in Chile discovered that there are no less than seven terrestrial (rocky) planets in orbit about this star. Three, or maybe even four, of the planets appear to be in the habitable zone. Orbits range from 0.011 to 0.06 AUs. Remember this is a cool star. In fact, it radiates mostly in the infrared, so even at noon on the planets, it probably wouldn’t seem brighter than at sunset here on Earth, though temperatures would be closer to “normal.”
(Apparently Kepler did look at this star at one point.)
There is also a new satellite, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), launched in 2018. It has already found over four thousand candidate planets, yet to be confirmed.
Using the gravitational lensing method, in 2020 astronomers reported an earth-mass rogue planet (one that is wandering interstellar space). Apparently it crossed in front of some star when someone was looking at that star.
A device called a vortex coronagraph has allowed astronomers to directly image large, distant exoplanets more easily than before. Recall that direct imaging works for such planets (the farther out the better; the closer the star to us, the better); I’ve even seen a time lapse GIF of four planets orbiting a star. The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar has been very useful for this sort of thing. (Seventy years old and still going strong!)
So, we’re getting better at this. I’ve pointed you to lists and some number counts, but let’s look at a diagram that might clarify things:
The higher up you go on that diagram, the bigger the planet. You can see pictures of Jupiter, Neptune and Earth at the right to give a sense of scale. To the left, planets orbit near their star. Hot Jupiters appear here. To the right, they’re further out and you will see a group labeled “Cold Gas Giants.” Then further down you see large planets that appear as though they may consist largely of water, or ices.
But the overwhelming majority of dots, mostly Kepler detections, are “Rocky planets” like our own, many, many of them much larger than Earth (which is the largest rocky planet in this planetary system). And ones very close to their star are expected to have molten lava surfaces, simply because that close to the star they get very hot.
But in the lower right, is the “Frontier.” If there are planets here, we can’t detect them yet. (And we know of some such planets, for instance Mars.)
The Future
This is very, very much a story in progress. The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to be able to not only see some of these planets, but also detect and analyze their atmospheres.
What we would be really excited to see is planets with water and an oxygen atmosphere.
Water, because that’s the one thing every life form we know of must have. Even oxygen isn’t as universally necessary. (There are bacteria that manage to live in water near boiling, and others that manage to thrive inside nuclear reactors, and of course there are plenty of anaerobic critters out there (like botulism) but nothing we know of can live without water.)
Oxygen, because if we find an oxygen atmosphere it’s almost certainly a sign that life exists on that planet.
If plants stopped photosynthesizing right now, no oxygen would be created. And the oxygen in the air would slowly combine with other things on Earth and be bound up, much like on Mars, which is largely a rusty planet. In other words, an oxygen atmosphere is not stable, because oxygen is so reactive. An oxygen atmosphere can only exist if something continually creates more oxygen. And although there are some other possibilities a strong candidate for creating oxygen would be living things. It would be by far the strongest evidence we have that life exists elsewhere. Though that doesn’t mean “ET” because that life might just be algae–pond scum in other words.
But pond scum is still life, after all no one accuses Joe Biden of being dead, just demented.

Tonight is a special night. We invite ALL SCIENTISTS to come down to the bar for TWO HOURS, and listen to one scientist appeal to our LOGIC and our COMMON SENSE on the TOXIC BATCH PROBLEM.
ALL WHO WISH are invited to sit down, drink in hand, and watch – but it is especially important that ALL SCIENTISTS see this.
It is my contention that if ALL scientists in the world – on this planet – watch this video that I will show you, then the entire WORLD will be QUICKLY AWAKENED to the reality of some kind of systematic problem with the current COVID vaccines – some kind of problem which is evidenced by toxicity showing up with certain batches.
But more about that later.
Right now, come into the bar and find a comfy spot.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Though we are not especially good at mixing tasty drinks, we can stir some occasional thoughts into a compelling report, argument, recollection, or proposition.
And with that barest promise, we begin.

20This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.
21I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.
22The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.

Current Art On The Wall
We opened this week’s shipment, and there was a note on top of the contents that said:
“DANGER: STEAMPUNK”
Looks like a real Pandora’s box to me!
Sure enough, the very next thing we found was MONDAY’S LEFTOVERS.
Mmmmmmmmm. Remember – if the can isn’t actually bulging, you can ignore the date!
Click it! The music seems useful for viewing the remainder of the art!
MOAR COWBELL GEARS!!!
Yeah, I’m enjoying this timeframe-loosening absinthe of sorts.
Indeed, absinthe per se seems to be a meme in steampunk.
Look for GREENPUNK as a subgenre of STEAMPUNK.
OK – one more image and then back to reality.
LOL. Nope. That’s not it.
Let’s try another.
AYE-YI-YI. That’s not it, either. I get the sentiment, but I tend to think the devil’s in certain details of the genre, and – as always in the art world – one must proceed with caution.
Although I do have a story about a fantastic dream you may have heard. In some ways, it was the opposite of steampunk, but it had a certain similar quality of alternate reality about it.
Let’s try one more.
Hey – that’s not steampunk! That’s REALPUNK.
I’ll let Steve tell us all about it.
In the meanwhile, we take leave of the infinitude of artistic imagination, and find ourselves back at the concrete.
Or so one might think!
And now our feature presentation
The Anti-Saline Theory and The Toxic Batch Problem – Did Somebody Actually Contaminate Lots of the Vaccines?
I never really thought that I might be defending Big Pharma – in whole or in part – at this point in the multiple scandals of the COVID-19 Plannedemic.
Maybe “defending” isn’t the right word. Maybe “presenting a potentially somewhat exonerating theory” IS the right phrase.
In fact, I don’t even know WHO I’m exonerating, or or that matter, WHO I’m accusing. Likewise, I’m not even sure who the TARGETS of the perpetrators in this “theory” actually are.
However, this is not a “conspiracy theory” – something which is generally certain of perpetrators, victims, and motives.
This is a CRIMINAL THEORY. This is a theory which allows us to begin to examine an apparent crime, in order to determine perpetrators, victims, and motives. It’s a theory which may even be wrong.
I ask all of you to briefly set aside prejudices, which is often necessary to do when evidence needs to be viewed as potential exoneration. Feel free to bring your prejudices and prior theories back AFTER you have looked at these possibilities, because you will need to compare theories, and your current favorites need to CONTEND with what I’m proposing here.
Thus, we begin.
The Saline Theory
The SALINE THEORY – which many regard as a criminal theory, and which others regard as a “conspiracy theory”, contends that the reason some people have either NO REACTION or ALMOST NO REACTION to the “clot shot” – meaning all the standard Western COVID-19 vaccines – is that those people are being given medical saline solution instead of actual coronavirus vaccines.
The proposed motives for this, generally speaking, are either to spare particular individuals from the problems of the vaccines, OR to statistically reduce the numbers of people being KILLED or INJURED by the vaccines to acceptable levels.
Now, in full disclosure, I have been generally, if quietly, rather critical of the saline theory, despite the fact that I am very skeptical of Big Pharma in general, and even more skeptical of Pfizer and Moderna.
Why am I skeptical of the theory? Basically, because it doesn’t really change most vaccines. In a sentence, vaccines are DESIGNED to approximate saline.
In the history of vaccines, the GOAL has always been to literally approach the state of “injecting people with saline” – meaning not much of anything is given, and nothing bad happens.
Thus, an ideal vaccine – and in practice most good vaccines – basically do nothing except grant immunity, which until recently was always expected to be inferior to “natural” disease-conferred immunity.
Let me point out AS AN ASIDE right here that the industry lost megatons of credibility by letting the media trot out nonsense about vaccine immunity being better than disease-conferred immunity, allegedly negating centuries of medical knowledge. Foolish to abandon the truth on that one. Clearly the result of Big Pharma now having the upper hand against Big Med, thanks to Big Finance, and the willingness of Big Media to tell any lie. But I digress.
The point is simple. We EXPECT normal, good vaccines to have very few adverse events – so rare that we rarely hear about them – and that people basically ARE getting saline.
In other words, people generally can’t tell the difference between a good vaccine, a “bad because too weak” vaccine, and saline.
THAT’S THE POINT – that the REALITY of rare adverse events is expected to MATCH our experience of almost never hearing about or experiencing first, second, or third-hand, that somebody had a problem with a vaccine.
I myself went through life NEVER connecting a vaccine to any personal injury – that is, until I got over 30 years of flu shots, religiously, but then switched to my dominant shoulder for no particular reason, and experienced subsequent NOTICEABLE inflammatory issues which were very likely connected to the vaccine. All that being said, I was much older at that point, and older people ARE more likely to experience inflammation of joints as part of getting old. Indeed, this didn’t stop me from getting the flu shot for a number of more years – KNOWING that the vaccine might be responsible.
SO – bottom line – I’m not at all skeptical of vaccine injury, from sore arms up to death.
But I remain skeptical of the saline theory – for the stated reasons.
I never throw anything OUT completely – but I have been quite skeptical that there might be ANY kind of conspiracy – even a very realistic one – to replace weak “do-nothing” vaccines that the industry has spent DECADES making, and is quite good at making, with saline that does almost the same thing.
And INDEED – bear the opposite in mind. Bad things happen to people who get placebos, “because math”. And more than that, bad things happen to people who get saline, “because injection”. It’s extremely rare, but it DOES happen. This is an acknowledged truth of Anthony Fauci’s Holy of Holies, the placebo-controlled double-blind study. That’s why researchers factor out the difference which comes simply from “doing the test”.
But the fact is simple. Saline is generally pretty damn safe to inject, because it does nothing. A good vaccine, likewise, does nothing but provide some degree of immunity – hopefully lifelong, but with a number of years generally being acceptable, depending on the vaccine.
SO – if you tell me somebody got saline – I will tell you that they got a “good vaccine”, and we’re left with only some very difficult science to tell which of us is right.
However, all of that has a problem.
A HUGE problem.
The problem is summed up by the fact that almost everybody in the English-speaking world recognizes the term “clot shot” as a grim, joking nickname for the COVID-19 vaccines.
That didn’t happen by accident. Admittedly, it’s an injection for preventing or pre-treating a clotting disease by generating immunity TO a clotting protein WITH that same clotting protein, or something very similar to it. BUT STILL…..
In practice, this is NOT a harmless vaccine. No amount of propaganda changes that.
The Anti-Saline Theory
So what is the ANTI-SALINE THEORY?
The anti-saline theory, based on something called the toxic batch problem, is roughly a mirror image of the saline theory. It thus contends that some of the coronavirus vaccines were the opposite of non-toxic saline which could NOT harm people, and were, in fact, loaded with something nasty which caused illness and death.
Possible motives are likewise mirror images of the saline theory – to either harm certain people, or to INCREASE the number of injuries and deaths from the vaccines.
NOW – let me be clear. In the absence of the “potential evidence” of the toxic batch problem, I would be every bit as skeptical of the anti-saline theory as I am of the saline theory.
Even for a bad, risky, side-effect-prone vaccine, blaming the still-generally-infrequent side-effects on anything BUT the vaccine itself would seem foolhardy. We have MANY “more risky” vaccines for nasty tropical diseases, from yellow fever up to Ebola, which we generally ONLY give to people at high risk of actually getting the disease, because the vaccines may be a LESSER RISK than the disease, but they are an INCREASED RISK over most vaccines.
We normally don’t need to postulate that the cause of that higher risk is adulteration due to a new cause or perpetrator, when we have the vaccine itself and the vaccine makers, presumably fighting the risk but possibly not succeeding as well as we would like, as our primary suspects.
So how does the toxic batch problem change all that?
The Toxic Batch Problem
First, a reflection. A bit of a warning. Something to prepare you.
At the various stages where one understands pieces of this problem, the revelations really cannot be “unseen”. And yet, the fact that this problem WAS unseen by SO many for SO long, raises questions about whether or not we are just now seeing the edges of something which has been with us for far longer than we realized.
I know that sounds a bit fantastic, as well as euphemistic and even a bit “code”, but now you understand why so many people who have gained deep knowledge of problems with the COVID vaccines, have gone through various emotionally jarring moments of realization.
Something is NOT RIGHT, and yet there seems to be INTENTION behind the condition.
SO – if you get HIT by this sort of realization as we are going along, just know that you are not alone.
OK, back to work. Ah, yes. The toxic batch problem.
I can sum it up as this.
Normally, one expects that a consistently produced pharmaceutical has a VERY wide range of reactions in those to whom it is given, BUT that this statistical range of responses (you can imagine a bar graph, a pie chart, a curve, or a whole bunch of all of them) will stay roughly the same from BATCH TO BATCH.
Stated simply, we expect the variation BETWEEN sets of variations to be SMALL, CLOSE, PREDICTABLE, and REPRODUCIBLE.
This is simply the “law of large numbers”. You flip a thousand pennies. I flip a thousand pennies. It’s very unlikely that we’ll get exactly the same numbers, but BOTH OF US will be close to 500 heads and 500 tails. Any deviation from this will be a nice bell curve, perfectly explainable by statistics.
Try any “batch” of pennies – it will be close to 50:50 heads-to-tails because of the consistency of pennies.
The toxic batch problem is that adverse events for the COVID-19 vaccine batches violate this – and in a HUGE WAY.
A small fraction of the batches (about 5%) are STRIKINGLY TOXIC relative to all the other batches.
The differences are too big, the harmless group is too large, the nasty group is too small, and there are additional patterns that are not random and should not be there.
Yes, there will be variation in the exact numbers of deaths and injuries from batch to batch, “because statistics“, but that variation should be small, natural, centered, and understandable mostly in terms of mathematics. If there IS a big difference in the numbers between the batches, then there has to be some kind of systematic difference – most likely either in the contents of the batches, or in the administration of the batches.
Let’s look at the latter first.
As an example of an administration difference, if you give one batch to kids, and another to seniors, you expect differences. However, if the batches are BIG, and they’re used in a lot of different places, and the groups of people those places serve are large and diverse, then the differences from administration will vanish.
And even if those differences DON’T vanish – in FACT, even if you INTENTIONALLY give one batch to kids and another to seniors, those differences cannot be as big as what was observed.
Another administration difference would be to use some batches ONLY for first injections, and others ONLY for second injections.
Again, we do expect differences there, but not nearly as big as what is observed.
IN FACT, the difference between the “good, nearly harmless batches” (doesn’t that sound like saline?) and the BAD batches is SO big, that it is NOT EXPLAINED by ANYTHING seen in the Moderna and Pfizer trials.
THIS is one of our first clues that something is actually wrong with the contents of those toxic batches.
Now – let’s look at the possibility of a difference in contents.
Could it be that the vaccines are “going bad” and turning into something more poisonous?
Yes, this is possible – BUT the fact of the matter is that when drugs degrade, they almost invariably become “less active”, not MORE active – and certainly never MORE active by orders of magnitude.
Rocks just don’t “roll uphill” by themselves.
In fact, there is a great argument you will see later, made about the COVID-19 vaccine data, as compared to the flu vaccine data, which points out that if you remove all the “bad batches” from the COVID-19 vaccine data, it looks almost exactly like the flu shot.
BASICALLY, SALINE.
Like a normal vaccine is supposed to look.
Now, hopefully, you not only understand why I called this the “anti-saline theory”, but you are also “seeing certain things that you cannot unsee”.
Because YES – something is definitely wrong with those batches.
Even if you don’t accept that the majority of batches are “harmless”, something is terribly wrong with the rest.
But before I get into talking about possible reasons as to WHY these “bad batches” are different, I want to thoroughly convince you that they ARE different and that it’s NOT NORMAL.
I want to give you a brief introduction to the toxic batch problem as seen by the people who found it, examined it, and first told the world.
A Pharma Exec & Researcher Examines the Data
We begin with a video of a man who appears to me to be very typical of the scientists that I knew during my career. He does not appear crazy, loony, mentally ill, psychopathic, or even irrational.
He seems, if anything, like somebody who has witnessed institutional madness descending upon their professional world. You know – like what happened to scientists in Russia in the early 1900s, and in Germany and Italy in the 1930s.
As I listened to this guy, he made scientific sense, just like any seminar speaker, invited lecturer, or even an interviewer for student job prospects from a drug company.
In fact, I believe that if most scientists listened to him, they would BELIEVE HIM.
There is something *apparently* wrong with certain specific batches of the COVID vaccines from three companies that were used globally AND specifically in America. And according to the speaker, a retired drug industry executive and research scientist, this difference cannot be random – it must be adulteration of some kind.
The most key and salient point is that vaccine side effects vary strongly by batch number – and in a way that the drug companies MUST understand to be REAL and PROBLEMATIC. The variation is NOT merely statistical from a quality-controlled product. It is systematic – meaning it has a CAUSE other than randomness. It is not necessarily intentional (IMO), but it is an OBVIOUS problem.
There is also some argument over how batch toxicity varies across time and batch number – I will leave THAT for the next videos.
The point which the speaker, Dr. Yeadon, made which struck me hardest, was the simple but powerful idea that the individual responses of recipients to a vaccine batch can vary wildly, BUT that the statistical array of responses will NOT vary significantly between batches – that it CANNOT vary – UNLESS there is some REAL, SIGNIFICANT, CONTENT DIFFERENCE between the batches.
The alternative, in my opinion, would be that the batch differences are administration-based – e.g., that batches primarily used for SECOND administrations would have much higher adverse events.
I’m not wed to that thought – but it is an alternative that is every bit as troubling as content differences, and negates the entire strategy of “boosterism”. I also tend to doubt it, both because it does not explain the magnitude of the difference, and is also statistically very unlikely. Content differences just seem more likely to me.
The People Who Found The Toxic Batch Problem
NEXT, I want to deepen the explanation of what Dr. Yeadon was describing. Yeadon provides drug industry credibility to the idea that batch differences are real and almost certainly content-based. They don’t look right to somebody with industry experience.
But NOW we need to explore possible explanations for those differences, based on a closer look at the differences themselves.
SO – next, I want to show you some additional videos and web pages that drill down into the “toxic batch problem”.
We’ll start with the “secondary reporting” and then get to the data itself.
In this video, Stu Peters and Dr. Jane Ruby, who I criticize routinely when they edge toward clickbait, are doing an AMAZING job of reporting on a group of investigators who studied the batch differences. This is excellent journalism. These two can only be as good as their material, but WOW – they have quality material here.
Now, follow that up with an even deeper examination of the toxic batches.
Jump to 12:50 to continue the discussion. Jane Ruby ends at about 19:00. At 20:00 (to 32:12) it picks back up again with a member of the investigatory group, Team Enigma, who is a pharmaceutical industry bio-statistician. She adds a different perspective on how SMALL any group poisoning the vaccines might be.
This doesn’t require a grand conspiracy of many people. It might involve only a few dedicated and highly skilled saboteurs.
most batches (roughly 80%) are almost completely harmless
the bad batches produce up to (and in MANY cases) a thousand times more adverse reactions
when viewed geographically in the United States, the bad batches affect every state in America
The latter point proves the generality of the effect – that local differences can’t account for the toxicity of the particular lots. If anything, the high distribution of the batches seems to be used to hide the toxicity.
Next, I want to return you to the PERSONAL REALITY of the toxic batch problem.
A Personal Case of a Bad Batch
It turns out that Dr. Robert Malone got one of the “bad batches” for his second vaccine, and almost died.
Lastly, here is a very nice review of work on the toxic batch problem. Very nicely put together, with lots of graphs and key points as quotes. This is a real CONVINCER.
Some of the videos in the review have been removed for some reason, but not this one.
This video is truly stunning. This video shows apparent patterns in the deployment of batches. While I am not fully in agreement that this is proven to be the work of the companies themselves, I think that there is overwhelming evidence of “bad batches” and some kind of pattern which looks like the results are being studied.
By the time you’ve gotten here, you very likely think that something is definitely wrong with certain batches.
Next, I want to begin thinking about HOW and WHY somebody might want to do such a thing. In the process, I’m going to “lean into” some current events and statements made by varous people.
This is where things get political, geopolitical, military, and more.
How and Why Would Anybody Poison the West’s Major COVID Vaccines?
This is where we begin to say to ourselves:
Did somebody actually poison various lots of these vaccines? WHO would do it? Who COULD do it? WHY? Why would ANYBODY do this? HOW did they pull it off? WHAT possible benefit could they get from it? WHERE did they do it?
I’m going to leave most of these questions TO YOU ALL.
I want YOU to tell ME.
Now, we have a list of “usual suspects”, but things get interesting when you consider additional motives, additional suspects, and additional opportunities.
MEANS, MOTIVE, and OPPORTUNITY are what turn “conspiracy theories” into CRIMINAL THEORIES.
So I’m going to give you some “kick-starters” to get you seeing some possibilities.
The first thing that got me thinking “HMMMMM……” about things, was when Team Enigma began seeing evidence of coordination between the drug companies, in the chronology of the toxic batches.
As somebody who has been involved with real conspiracies, the idea that drug companies coordinated their plotting to poison the vaccines does NOT sound realistic.
Real conspiracies need compartmentalization. They need as few as possible seeing the big picture.
Thus, it is MUCH more likely, IMO, that there is a SINGLE player who is involved with ALL of the vaccines – a SINGLE player – who would be able to pull off a systematic study of poisoning them.
One such player is the CCP.
BOTH the Pfizer vaccine AND the Moderna vaccine are utterly dependent upon components manufactured in CHINA. Indeed, the “lipid nanoparticle technology” of the mRNA vaccines is pretty much delivered by Chinese companies.
That is how Karen Kingston discovered that components of the “clot shot” vaccines were manufactured by a Chinese company called SINOPEG, which ALSO specializes in something called “PEGylated graphene oxide”, which is further known to temperature-stabilize mRNA vaccines.
I’m not necessarily saying that graphene oxide was used here, although it’s worth considering.
SIDEBAR: For background on graphene oxide (sometimes called graphene hydroxide – it’s the same thing, really), go HERE.
SIDEBAR: For background on the work by Karen Kingston, former Pfizer employee, who figured out the Chinese connection on the lipid nanoparticle components, go HERE.
Moderna executives are also deeply associated with these Chinese companies and their controlling organizations – see photo below. Note what this page (discovered by Karen Kingston) means – you have COVID-19 vaccines, graphene lipid nanotech IN those same vaccines, and pictures of Moderna executives mentioned on the same page.
If this is not a smoking gun, it’s a pretty damn good imitation, suitable for blackmail.
Thus, it sure seemed possible to ME, that if the CCP or PLA wanted to “intervene” in the vaccines, they have MEANS and OPPORTUNITY.
What about MOTIVE?
Well, Deplorable Patriot found something that got me thinking.
So – according to this theory, the US is being blackmailed by the Chinese government.
As soon as I saw this, I realized exactly HOW the ChiComs could have war-gamed this whole thing for some grand-master play.
CCP/PLA + Cabal makes Western pharma weak and dependent upon ChiCom manufacturing
CCP/PLA has total control of Chinese companies and products they ship
CCP/PLA has total control of information within Chinese borders (remember their “rules” which made many SMART companies LEAVE CHINA)
CCP/PLA begins manipulating people to make them RUN FROM TRUTH and into CHINESE CONTROL
To me, this makes CHINA a no-brainer suspect. It doesn’t matter WHO is POTUS – Biden or Trump – if the vaccines have problems in the West, CHINA wins.
China gets power over the American POTUS
China gets power over the American Deep State
China gets power over the global pharmaceutical industry
Basically, it’s a form of entrapment.
And remember – if China gets caught and wants to blamecast, they can say “it wasn’t us – it was this rogue company cheating” – and nobody can prove otherwise on anything within Chinese borders.
NOW – there could be other players. China is not the only player who would benefit by making the West stumble here.
WEF, for instance, strikes me as “guilty as sin”. If the vaccines were really safe, they could not stir up as much division as we’re seeing. To me, KlauSS SSchwab and the WEFFEN SS have to be a suspect.
Depopulationists are also an easy target.
Satanists as well. This is their thing.
“FOREIGN” could also be doing things independently of their pet globalists and depopulationists.
Russia, unfortunately, is also an easy suspect, thanks to their stupid antics with Skripal and other spies. If the Russians wanted to keep America WEAK, causing a mess with the vaccines to keep Americans divided would be one way to do it. However, I tend to think that they don’t have as much MEANS and OPPORTUNITY as China. But to be fair, we have to keep Russia on the list.
Similarly Ukraine – to which Democrat operative Alexandra Chalupa seems to have some kind of weird supreme loyalty – because it doesn’t have a perfectly clean history on poisonings, either.

Yushchenko said Thursday that he is sure he was poisoned by the Ukrainian government, and for the first time pinpointed the time and place of his dioxin poisoning: a Sept. 5 lunch with the head of the Ukrainian security service and his deputy.

And, of course, there is our own DEEP STATE, still led in truth by Barack Obama.
Obama seems really committed to a kind of Stalinist, utilitarian, “death panel” health agenda, where health-care shuffles off people to their graves to save money.
Obama’s famous academic and New York Times-featured “moral advisors” on healthcare have always been, and remain in my opinion, a litany of granny-snuffers. SO – if Obama’s “worst of the worst of the KGB faction in CIA” wanted to begin testing depopper stuff on us – well – they could be up to tricks.
But none of them has as much MMO as China.
All in all, CHINA looks like my main suspect.
They poisoned our dog treats forever, making it look like greedy little companies was the extent of the problem.
We just put up with it.
Maybe they got ideas from that.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SUSPICIOUS CAT?
So who is your main suspect?
Or do you have a different explanation of the toxicity of the shots – and especially something that explains the weirdly binary toxicity / non-toxicity of the batches?
Hey, it’s Thursday. All the good stuff was posted Tuesday and Wednesday.
Okay, I admit it. Back in the day, I had larger than life posters of these guys on my wall.

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.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights

186As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments of music. 7And the women sang to one another as they made merry, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” 8And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?” 9And Saul eyed David from that day on. 191And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David. 2And Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you; therefore take heed to yourself in the morning, stay in a secret place and hide yourself; 3and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you; and if I learn anything I will tell you.” 4And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you; 5for he took his life in his hand and he slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?” 6And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death.” 7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

32And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 33And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth.” 37And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!” 40Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in his shepherd’s bag or wallet; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine. 41And the Philistine came on and drew near to David, with his shield-bearer in front of him. 42And when the Philistine looked, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, ruddy and comely in appearance. 43And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field.” 45Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’S and he will give you into our hand.” 48When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead; the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. 50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; there was no sword in the hand of David. 51Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
“Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace. Peace will be the last word of history” – St. Pope John Paul II
Holiness is this profound contact with God, becoming a friend of God: it is letting the Other work, the Only One who can really make the world both good and happy. — Benedict XVI
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.
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.
