The other day I posted that we will win this war and we are winning this war.

Allow me to elaborate.

Hindsight is 20/20, and we have enough now to clearly see what PDJT’s presidency was all about.

Exposing the DS.

You see, Hillary wasn’t supposed to lose. And, if white hat hackers had not interfered with the vote, she would have. They were 100% caught off guard, their media was NOT prepared, and the damage was done. Trump was declared the winner by their own media on election night. Team Clinton and the DS could not overcome that. (Which explains much, including her fury).

Cheaters cannot credibly accuse another of cheating in the same way they themselves were cheating, otherwise they would expose themselves.

But I digress.

The Trump presidency did 2 things, and together they will prove to be fatal blows to the DS.

First, it provided a very stark contrast between what “America First”/MAGA looks like (policies, economics, authentic leadership, etc) VS. what the DS looks like. Once one sees it one cannot unsee it, and far to many have seen such that the cat can be put back into the bag. It’s out, and it’s out for good.

Second, and more importantly, the Trump Presidency has FORCED the rapid acceleration of DS plans in a way that is blatantly obvious.

You see, we were all frogs in a pot of water. The DS’s plan was to very slowly bring the water to boil, and then the USA….the greatest impediment to globalist rule and one-world gov’t……would be cooked.

But Trump’s presidency caused enough of the frogs to wake up, smell what was cooking, and jump out of the pot.

If fact, enough jumped out that the rest were (from the perspective of the DS) in danger of jumping out, too.

But, it’s too late. The damage the Trump presidency did was too great. So great, in fact, that now…..rather than SLOWLY turning up the heat incrementally…..the DS is now FORCED to bring the water to a boil far, far sooner than it had planned or wanted.

Here is their problem now…

.
They have come too far, WAYYYY too far, to turn back or simply walk away. Their only path is forward, and their only hope is too cook the rest of the frogs before they jump out of the pot. But that have to cook them NOW, and turn up the heat in a way that will cause the majority of the frogs to jump out before they’re cooked!

Friends, THIS is why Kew was so confident. It was the Trump presidency ITSELF, and POTUS’s Twitter, that was the fatal cut to the the enemy’s jugular.

Remember how Kew said “trust humanity”? Already the entire world is waking up (see: Cuba). The white hats need do nothing much of anything now except trigger things here and there….like the AZ audit, for example. As the DS becomes more and more exposed, it will do EXACTLY what it should not do…which is turn up the heat. Their problem? They cannot afford to NOT turn up the heat.

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Wolf is right, they are now incredibly dangerous. Right now, their thoughts are NOT on how they plan to rule the world….their thoughts are on “how the fuck are we going to get out of this alive and free?”

Like Kew said….

”They won’t be able to walk the streets in safety.”

And they know it.

At this point, it is simply a matter of letting things play out as they naturally would…

….which does NOT mean their won’t be pain, battles, etc. left to fight…

…it simply means that the Trump Presidency was the beginning of the end of the globalist DS. It is already failing.

Hence:

Just a couple more thoughts brought over from Marica’s…I think. Maybe @Jack’s place:

Take heart. It’s almost Friday.

Oh, and before I forget:

Just a little pick me up:

_______________________________________________

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. Say hi to anyone who is actually hanging out there for the rest of us. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list.

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.

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:

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and not perpetual high school sophomores or the back row of the soprano section in any big chorus:

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.

__________________________________________________

Today is actually the feast of one of the Doctors of the Church, St. Bonaventure, so there are two slates of Mass readings. The Gospel is the same, but this first reading from the Book of Wisdom, one of the seven books removed by Martin Luther, strikes a chord.

WISDOM 8:2-7, 16-18

2I loved her and sought her from my youth, and I desired to take her for my bride, and I became enamored of her beauty. 3She glorifies her noble birth by living with God, and the Lord of all loves her. 4For she is an initiate in the knowledge of God, and an associate in his works. 5If riches are a desirable possession in life, what is richer than wisdom who effects all things? 6And if understanding is effective, who more than she is fashioner of what exists? 7And if any one loves righteousness, her labors are virtues; for she teaches self-control and prudence, justice and courage; nothing in life is more profitable for men than these. 16When I enter my house, I shall find rest with her, for companionship with her has no bitterness, and life with her has no pain, but gladness and joy. 17When I considered these things inwardly, and thought upon them in my mind, that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality, 18and in friendship with her, pure delight, and in the labors of her hands, unfailing wealth, and in the experience of her company, understanding, and renown in sharing her words, I went about seeking how to get her for myself.

MATTHEW 5:13-19

13“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men. 14“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. 17“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here – lurkers and members – as well as our families, are welcome.

The First Message:

To all who may be locked out at this time

PLEASE go to THE U TREE and post a comment – EVEN if it goes into moderation. I will get you out of moderation, and we will get you into here.

This strategy has worked for everybody who has been able to post there.

I need you to post a comment on The U Tree – it’s that simple.

LINK: https://utree.home.blog/2021/02/22/open-thread-02-22-21/

The Second Message:

You will recall my prior message, which Deplorable Patriot has faithfully echoed for your benefit, during this time that I have maintained a certain radio silence.

Wolf Moon
July 6, 2021 17:07
Thanking everybody for your patience. Whether happenstance, coincidence, or enemy action, I’m dealing with some technical issues. In addition to those, and the obvious spiritual attacks, I am dealing with the obvious site stuff in what are best maintained as unobvious ways.

I suspect we struck a nerve.

A combined technical / spiritual / strategic response by all of us will prevent this attack from succeeding. Hold the line – bite the bullet – gird the loins – bite the lip – pray for guidance, discernment, and strength – whatever YOU believe keeps the ship aright for the moment. Everything else is lower priority.

Deplorable Patriot suggests the following. I am not about to argue.

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.

I am now going to explain a bit more about what is going on. That will be the THIRD message. But I will post the above immediately and UPDATE during the next few hours, so that those who are locked out will understand and follow the procedure starting with COMMENTING ON THE U TREE.

The Third Message:

Now, I’m going to explain SOME of what is going on.

I start off by explaining the somewhat unusual security requirements of this site.

Our PURPOSE – stated fairly clearly from the beginning – is to provide a way for the GRASSROOTS – YOU – to post your thinking – CLEARLY – thanks to FREE SPEECH – where it can be seen by all. We don’t REALLY have secrets here – other than what is needed to preserve our freedom of speech. Thus, I don’t spend a lot of time doing that crap.

Obviously, we become a THORN in people’s sides, but I hope that this THORN is attached to one immortal CROWN, from which we HUMBLY DEFEND TRUTH.

See? It’s all a matter of perspective.

Anyway, during the recent friction (I’ll be kind) between various posters, I was made aware of certain (I’ll be kind again) “mischaracterizations” of posts and comments on this site.

In the course of this – and I do thank all who opined both openly and privately – it became clear that these mischaracterizations are not only an unacceptable danger to this site and our free speech – but they are related – in ways which may be innocent, but are not necessarily so – to other extremely consequential mischaracterizations.

NOW – here is where it gets REALLY interesting.

At that time I was paying attention to a growing security problem in the WordPress world, which has affected many sites – the “spam registration problem”.

We love our LURKERS – including those good and honest people who make sure our GRASSROOTS VIEWS are promptly and accurately reported to other good and honest people. Some of these lurkers are likely even a bit automated – frankly, we don’t really care. We’re the news now, so to speak, and people automate that stuff. It’s a fact.

Now there may be BAD LURKERS, too, but that just comes with the territory. Right? Shouldn’t be that much of a problem. If they don’t actually interfere with us, why should I care?

Whether people are carbon-based or silicon-based lurkers, we don’t really mind them registering on the site, either, so that they can be “subscribers”. That’s fine with me.

The problem for me was mostly that the volume of lurkers got bigger and bigger and bigger. That was bad, but livable.

However, more recently, things got STRANGE.

I started seeing a real uptick in RUSSIAN subscribers. Yeah, those annoying Russians. Just like DOJ, it’s pretty hard to say WHOSE SIDE they’re really on. Right? It’s like Star Trek or Babylon 5. Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians and Bejorans – or however you spell these names. They’re all just TROUBLE.

The thing is, the NUMBERS – sheesh – they were OUT OF CONTROL. I mean, it was bad. Actually, it was worse. It was EMBARRASSING. An EMBARRASSINGLY large number of weird Russian accounts following us.

But then I got to thinking about TIMING. Why right now?

And how do I KNOW if they’re really Russians? They could be anybody. False attribution is what everybody does. And even “real” attribution can have false intent.

BUT – one thing was clear. It LOOKED LIKE Russians.

So whoever was doing it, Russian or not, WANTED it to look like a whole bunch of Russians were following this site.

You startin’ to see what I’m sayin’?

And this is all on July 4th. I was seriously getting the impression that DODGE and FIB had been hoping for more “actionable riling up of us Deplorables” on July 4, and they weren’t getting it. Where “action” could be anything – provocation, intimidation, influence, control, STFU – whatever.

Now there was some other information I got that was really quite useful here, which nature I don’t want to get into, but I was starting to see some connections – NO MATTER WHAT. Whether it was a PLOT, or people just tipping HANDS, or just people displaying signs of INFLUENCE – something stunk about ALL this stuff happening at the same time.

SO – on the TECHNICAL FRONT – I decided to deploy one of the many wonderful solutions which are now available for this problem of phony and bot registrations.

On the SPIRITUAL FRONT – I decided to ASK FOR HELP – from all of YOU – and you all really came through. I want to particularly thank Sadie, who saw that the spiritual attack was such a large component of this.

And on the SITE POLICY FRONT – I decided that misrepresentations of posts or comments are not tolerable, and must be dealt with by a policy OTHER than “letting things just work out” – my primary weapon. We simply can’t put up with it.

Beyond this, I went through a little exercise of “gathering bona fides” – which was enough for me to feel comfortable with where things are now. I will NOT let this site or the people here be BETRAYED. This is not to say that I don’t have a certain amount of sympathy for MAGA Mom. I do.

Like I always tell people, my mother lived through Hitler. These times are very similar. We all have to make difficult decisions, that may put us on opposite sides.

ANYWAY, I figured that the combination of ENDING THIS CRAP and DISCLOSURE (which is what I’m doing now) would fix things – at least temporarily – for our little site.

Now here is where it gets even more interesting. And one might say that this is useful information from the “grassroots” for our special HONEST lurkers.

Remember THIS thing?

The Attack on Tucker Carlson is Classic Weissmann DOJ/FBI Treachery

I knew there was something wrong with the “NSA” spying on Tucker Carlson. NSA spying is traditionally SO deep and so quiet that nobody ever knows anything about it. That’s the way they operate. Big, deep, huge, silent, and NEVER give even a HINT of the magnitude, or the IDEA that it might be abused. …

That little CHINA-LOVIN’ BOLSHEVIK, Andrew Weissmann? Tryin’ to stick Tucker Carlson with more “Russia, Russia, Russia” insinuations? At the DOJ/FBI abuse of NSA data level? While pretending to be patriotic?

Hmmmmm. Wonder what Mark Steyn might have to say about that.

Why, this whole thing about “Russia” reminded me of something.

Such bullshit. Framing, set-up, evil bullshit.

So I was thinking “Yeah, gotta get this shit taken care of.” We needed to deal with this crap a.s.a.p.

They could be FRAMING us. Right? They being – you know – the DNC-DOJ-FBI-CCP-HRC-CIA-“USSR” complex.

So while I was dealing with the technical solution, I discovered something really interesting. I discovered that we had actually TRIGGERED some of these horrible “contractors” that the DNC farms out to carry out their treachery. Not only did we trigger them – we triggered them into digging deeply into the bowels of the site.

They were TRIGGERED by this post:

QArmageddon

Somebody put Mountain Dew in the Wolf’s water bowl, and suddenly he thinks he’s wild and free. Indeed, while being WALKED BY HIS DOGHANDED OFF TO HIS WIFELEASHED TO HIS {{{“SMART”PHONE}}}X///RUNNING WITH SCISSORS IN HIS MIND///X But not yet having waved to the patriots who overfly his house routinely to see the giant TRUMP SIGN …

I will admit that I loaded this thing up with bait – not the least of which was an asteroid explosion as the featured image. You know – those “violent” QAnons. I then sweetened with “Mike Flynn is gonna whip yo ass”, which is guaranteed to set DOJ-FBI “contractor” hair on fire.

A critical part of this bait was our discovery that one of the “QAnon experts” used by this legion of fancy-shoe coastal elite globalist scum had revealed prior knowledge of the Buffalo Jump.

Add that all up together, and YEAH – better get that security stuff in pronto.

Now here is where it gets even MORE interesting.

When I slapped in this solution, suddenly a gazillion attacks ran into a brick wall. The origins of the attacks were VERY enlightening. And the people who were getting into the deepest “stuff” were coming out of some VERY interesting places.

Beautifully, at almost the same time, THIS Gab post appeared in the open thread on July 11 (thanks to eilert).

You only need to read the FIRST PARAGRAPH (in bold).

Wow! Looks like the CCP may have been using the Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA to steal US aerospace technology for years!

And, would you look at that – Leonardo SpA also happens to be in business with the same UBS Securities that infused $400 million into Staple Street Capital (owner of Dominion Voting Systems) just three weeks before the 2020 presidential election!

Makes you wonder – why is there an Italian affidavit alleging that Leonardo SpA’s Head of IT Arturo D’Elia admitted to taking part in a cyber hack of the 2020 election

Yeah. Hilariously, at the very moment I dropped the hammer on all the bullshit, we received and stopped five strikes into the Sacred Room of the Holy Grail, with one attack being from some nameless host in the middle of Chinese Flyover, and another one being out of Leonardo SpA in the middle of Italy.

Funny, that.

So, you see, all of this stuff is tying together, and it is VERY big-league.

I will just finish with this thought.

Fake Elections are a HUGE deal.

At this point, I think the people who have “depended on them”, to put it nicely, will do almost anything to protect the scammy black box from inspection.

The trouble is, for me, Fake Elections are a no-go. They’re completely unacceptable.

The diamonds must be returned.

Dear KAG: 20210714 Open Thread


We’ll start here:

I would love to know if that quote is authentic.

And their propaganda machine.

This video popped into my feed this week, and just for kicks and maybe to laugh a little at what a look into the future could get wrong, I watched the thing. Let’s just say that the main goals presented here using “the most trusted man in America’s” persona to sell the concepts have not been met. In fact, there is active resistance to much of it.

What is really interesting though, is what the “Home of the 21st Century” got right, even if the form is not that which is presented in the short film. (For example, the graphical user interface and notebook computers are not part of the script, but working from home thanks to computers is.) I was particularly entertained by what a kitchen would look like and how food would be prepared. Yeah…that didn’t pan out. Neither did getting people to live in pre-fab pods in the cities. However, the living room in the house of the 21st century does have a wide screen television. (Not in my house, but Walter Cronkite never met my mother who will not allow such a thing.)

At any rate, those who would like to gander at 1960s New World Order Propaganda, here you go:

Okay, let’s see…news we can use:

https://twitter.com/CHHR01/status/1415053930589995008

This isn’t just lip service, it’s an actual arrest, and not in a contested state.

Declining efficacy? Did the shots have any to begin with other than making the recipients sick and sterile?

Uhh, don’t the shots have to be kept at below meat locker temperatures?

Some of us really would like to go this on our own.

And a much overdue apology.

Please post any additions in the comments.

And the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

Hopefully, we’ll see a few of these coming up.

https://youtu.be/xe2JRPHHEpU

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out.

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, not uncivilized pygmies:

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.

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.

EXODUS 3:1-6, 9-12

1Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Mid’ian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3And Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.” 4When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here am I.” 5Then he said, “Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 9And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” 12He said, “But I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.”

“Our task is not one of producing persuasive propaganda; Christianity shows its greatness when it is hated by the world.” –St. Ignatius of Antioch

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.

Dear KAG: 20210713 Open Thread

Cover image: White Roses, oil on canvas, John Ferguson Weir, 1898. Smithsonian American Art Museum.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this today, but there’s so much ugliness in the world, it needs to be countered with beauty. Seriously, one of the purposes of art is to inspire, not just to bring pleasure to owners.

I found this meme a while back and don’t remember if I used it….

The problem, as described in the meme above, is that beauty is EXPENSIVE right now. At least it’s made to be expensive by market forces and the people at the top of the arts food chain. They don’t seem to want too many of the people in the pit, to borrow a concept from Shakespeare’s day, sharing in the “luxuries” they savor.

That has carried over to food in our times, although, wild Alaskan Sockeye for $22.99 a pound isn’t bad. (Still didn’t buy any on Monday. It was pasta night.) Manufactured food has ruined many a palate.

We pay more for privilege and beauty and higher quality food. We pay more for vintage housing and the like. We pay more for renovation, or making new of what had aged, and frequently has more character than the grain silo look that…graces(?)…McMansions and other housing offerings.

Why? Well…American art, including architecture, has suffered from…well….

The meme indicates that, of course, it is the parents clipping wings of children, but the truth of the matter is the way the American system is set up currently, the school system turns just about everybody into grade grubbers, not critical thinkers, and in no way developing talents unseen unless parents have an interest in paying for and driving back and forth from private lessons.

As a culture thanks to mass marketing, we are dictating creativity, and that is stifling creativity.

Well, unless we are talking about new and creative ways of carrying out corruption.

Anyway, just something to ponder.

And then, of course, there’s this.

https://twitter.com/SebGorka/status/1414313545005772805

Okay, gotta agree here.

Also:

https://twitter.com/conspiracyb0t/status/1414257055590912001

Creatively, of course.

Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

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:

https://youtu.be/wiKbG8mIBA4

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.”

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.

Ahem.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

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 with anyone who happens to still be hanging out there. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey.

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.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

EXODUS 2:1-15

1Now a man from the house of Levi went and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3And when she could hide him no longer she took for him a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds at the river’s brink. 4And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him. 5Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked beside the river; she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to fetch it. 6When she opened it she saw the child; and lo, the babe was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?” 8And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. 9And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son; and she named him Moses, for she said, “Because I drew him out of the water.” 11One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people. 12He looked this way and that, and seeing no one he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together; and he said to the man that did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?” 14He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” 15When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh, and stayed in the land of Mid’ian; and he sat down by a well.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Chronologistics

Seeking the Truth About Joe Biden’s Two Marriages

What follows is not exactly what I thought I would write, originally. I didn’t know where, exactly, this would go. I’m not even sure now, that it went where it went. It’s almost too unbelievable. We may be looking at so many lies, the truth may never be found.

Or maybe it will be found, and very soon, and it will be EXTRAORDINARY.

Buckle up. We are now in uncharted territory.

1 – The Cheaters

Something really stinks about Joe Biden. I knew there was something strange about his relationship with Jill, after his first wife’s death in a car accident. I couldn’t really put my finger on it, until I read a piece by the guy who was Jill’s first husband. He claimed that Jill had an AFFAIR with Biden that broke up their marriage.

LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8635281/Jill-Biden-cheated-husband-Joe-ex-claims.html

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/BOn8i

That almost settled things, but I was bothered by the fact that the first husband seemed so POSITIVE toward Biden, despite him breaking up their marriage. That is not entirely impossible – but still, there was something strange about it that just bothered me.

Now, the thing is, the dates leave open a LOT of possibilities – including the possibility that the affair between Jill and Joe starting BEFORE Biden’s first wife Neilia died. And THAT gets ugly.

But I had no idea HOW ugly.

SO – I was already suspicious that things were weird.

But THEN I saw an allegation that Joe and Jill got involved EVEN EARLIER.

https://twitter.com/Johnheretohelp/status/1411074811615449091

(Edit – tweet deleted – but captured by Wayback Machine…..)

Say WHAAAAT?

Sounds like rampant nasty speculation to me, but still, things ARE weird in HAIR-SNIFFER PARADISE.

Actually, I got to THAT tweet through an even more shocking tweet – a reply to it.

Let’s just save that image…..

In fact, let’s save that tweet, too…..

And then there was ANOTHER one in the thread.

https://twitter.com/thisemptychair/status/1411077208643452929

THAT is a much better picture!

Heck – let’s save that, too.

Replies to this tweet include assertions that this was taken when Jill was divorced and Neilia was gone, as well as that it was photoshopped.

Seems like an insoluble mess, right?

2 – Finding The Photo

Well, the truth is, this picture appears in a German online magazine, and was allegedly posted by one of Jill’s granddaughters on Twitter.

https://www.gala.de/stars/news/first-family-der-usa–das-fotoalbum-der-familie-biden_22350110-22349236.html

Nach dem tragischen Verlust seiner Frau und Tochter 1972 lernte Senator Joe Biden seine zukünftige Frau die Englischlehrerin Jill Jacobs bei einem Blind Date kennen. Die beiden heirateten am 17. Juni 1977 in New York, 1981 kam die gemeinsame Tochter Ashley zur Welt.
Enkelin Naomi twitterte dieses schöne Bild der beiden damals frisch Verliebten mit den Worten: “Zusammen sind die beiden weit gekommen”.

Translated:

After the tragic loss of his wife and daughter in 1972, Senator Joe Biden met his future wife, English teacher Jill Jacobs, on a blind date. The two married in New York on June 17, 1977, and their daughter Ashley was born in 1981.
Granddaughter Naomi tweeted this beautiful picture of the two newly in love with the words: “Together, the two have come a long way”.

Naomi is identified here:

https://twitter.com/ThomasStPeter77/status/1411430907425210372

Let’s just save that tweet…..

Let’s just save that picture:

Looks like a nice family. Just sayin’.

Her name is Naomi Biden. Examples:

Turns out that she’s on Twitter as (at)NaomiBiden, and she’s a chip off the old block.

Remember that I told you that the reason that the ONE “fraud state” exception to THIS:

……was because PENNSYLVANIA needed to LOOK GOOD on vaccinations?

There you go. Straight from Biden’s granddaughter’s mouth. When THE PARTY needs you to look good, other party members make sure it happens.

Whether it’s REAL or not.

Anyway, check out Naomi Biden’s Twitter timeline. Very CCP. Errr, I mean ACP.

So I kept digging through the standard Democrat Communist party line, and THERE IT WAS!

Let’s just save that…..

AH! We’re finally THERE. We’ve shown that the photo is AUTHORITATIVE – meaning that it was “blessed” by being released by a Biden granddaughter. In a world of disinformation as one of the most powerful weapons of the LEFT, I don’t even trust this photo to be real when released by a Biden family member. But it is AUTHORITATIVE. It was released by them AS IF it was real, to make people believe it was real.

And where THAT goes from there, we will find out.

3 – How Old Is Jill In That Photo?

This is the gazillion dollar question.

We had some BETS MADE in a prior thread.

2021·07·03 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

I challenged people to guess the ages of Jill and Joe in that photo, avoiding any reliance on externals – just their knowledge of humans, such as their own kids, neighbors, relatives, etc.

The exact comment was HERE: https://www.theqtree.com/2021/07/03/2021%c2%b707%c2%b703-joe-biden-didnt-win-daily-thread/comment-page-1/#comment-760607

You’re welcome to go look at the answers and generate statistics. My rough estimate is that most people figured she was in her late teens. The OUTLYING answers were early middle teens (13-15) and 20s. Most opinions seemed to be in the 16-19 range.

High school girl. That is our “group vision stereo consensus”.

This starts to become problematic.

4 – The Timelines Collide

Jill Biden was born June 3, 1951.

LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Biden

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/ZquKp

She was married to Bill Stevenson on February 7, 1970, at the age of 18, 4 months shy of 19.

Thus, the picture SEEMS to be from BEFORE she married Bill Stevenson. It is extremely unlikely that the picture is from AFTER her marriage to Bill Stevenson, which ENDED in separation in October 1974 and civil divorce in May 1975.

The Bidens allege that they met during that separation period, in March of 1975. They were married on June 17, 1977.

March of 1975 would have made Jill Biden 23 years old, 3 months shy of 24 years old.

That is at the extreme of her potential age in that picture, based on the reckonings of our group. It is an extreme minority position, with more opinions at the OTHER extreme.

But let’s go from there to the Bill Stevenson story – that goes as follows.

According to Bill, Jill met Joe through Bill’s political support for Joe Biden.

Here is his chronology listed in the Daily Mail:

  • Joe Biden and his wife Jill  had an affair that broke up her first marriage, her ex-husband told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview
  • Bill Stevenson says that their story about how the presidential candidate fell in love with Jill after a blind date is made up
  • The way the Bidens tell their story, Joe saw a picture of Jill in March 1975 — after her marriage crashed — and they went on a date and have been together since 
  • But Stevenson claims he and his then wife met Biden in 1972, when they worked on then-New Castle County Councilman Biden’s first campaign for the Senate 
  • At the time Biden was married to his first wife Neilia who died with their daughter Naomi in a car crash between the election and Biden taking his Senate seat 
  • ‘Jill and I sat in the Bidens’ kitchen,’ Stevenson said. ‘We worked on his campaign’
  • Stevenson said he first suspected Biden and Jill were having an affair in August 1974; He was then 26, Jill was 23 and Joe was 31 
  • ‘One of her best friends told me she thought Joe and Jill were getting a little too close,’ he said
  • That October he got confirmation when a man informed him Biden was driving his wife’s car and the two of them got into a fender bender  
  • Stevenson said: ‘I asked Jill to leave the house, which she did… I considered Joe a friend. I’m not surprised he fell in love with Jill’

Now, I’m going to be blunt and early here – I no longer trust THIS story, either. I think it’s a “Clinton special” – a substitute scandal, like Cuomo’s kissing scandal, which is used to deflate the “he murdered thousands of old people on purpose for politics” scandal.

But let’s play along. After all, if I’m right, and it’s an “alibi” of some kind, it will be close to the truth.

Stevenson claims that Jill and Joe met through HIM (convenient) in 1972. THAT would make Jill Biden roughly 21 years old.

Leaving Jill’s age aside, THAT makes a lot of sense. Now what is VERY cool is that we HAVE a picture of Joe Biden campaigning in 1972, thanks to the Daily Mail.

You can see Neilia – she’s going to die in a car accident in December of that year, AFTER Joe Biden WINS his Senate seat in November but BEFORE he goes to Washington. Their 1-year-old daughter Naomi will die with her.

Now it may just be the clothes, but I would almost swear that Joe Biden looks a few years older in this photo, than he does in the “Jill on his lap” photo.

But all we have done at this point, really, is to introduce doubts.

But NOW, I’m going to introduce even more doubt. What if somebody came up with a PICTURE of Jill Biden during the early 1970s?

And before I forget to mention it, what if that picture comes up in a story about Bill Stevenson having a lurid affair of his own which allegedly led to multiple murders? And what if the first murder was soon after Joe Biden married his ex, Jill?

Watch out – this whole thing gets WEIRD very fast.

Yes – that is Jill and Bill Stevenson. Jill’s style here looks very 1972-1974.

Let’s look at her more closely. First 2X magnification.

Now even closer – 4X.

This looks like a 19, 20, or 21-year-old girl to me. That would make her a sophomore, junior, or senior in college. Perfect fit – read Jill’s biography in Wikipedia. This matches both her biography and the framework of the Stevenson story.

However, she is noticeably OLDER than the picture of the girl on Biden’s lap.

What’s interesting to me, is that I knew girls at that time, who were AGED as in the “lap girl photo”, but wore fashions like the girl in this photo, which styles were popular at the time. Same hairstyle and top – bandana around the neck – but these girls were younger – high-school aged – facially very much like the girl in the lap photo, or just a bit older.

Thus, it seems entirely possible to me, that the photo on Joe Biden’s lap was taken while Jill was in high school, possibly babysitting for the Bidens. Maybe she had a prom, or a dance, and was like a member of the family at that point.

I could insert some classic movie poster about this, but you know what I’m thinking.

But then let’s just set that all aside now, and see the context of that OTHER weird story from the Daily Mail.

Which newspaper may be following the angle that I’m thinking.

5 – The Timelines Always Get Them

MORE at the link….including videos of Stevenson….telling his story….

LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9772651/Jill-Bidens-husband-Bill-Stevenson-says-affair-Kathie-Durst.html

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/7rz2G

Now – just check out this “memorable scene” from Stevenson…..via the article…..

Stevenson alleges that the next day, Robert showed up at the apartment ‘pounding on the door’ and that he slammed a wad of rolled up cash in Kathie’s face. 

That’s a bit of a shocker there, but before we go on, ask what better class of theories might fit that memory.

Now go on.

Ten days later, she vanished.

He thinks Robert – who has long been accused of murdering his wife but has never been charged over it – was driven to kill her after discovering their affair.

‘This is something that has to be righted. I was together with them and he went crazy. I feel like I’m the missing link in this case,’ he said.

Stevenson said he watched Kathie ‘grow up into a beautiful young woman’ after their families became friends when they were kids.

‘She was that cool little sister – I watched her grow up to be a beautiful young woman.’

He says in 1974, he and Jill hosted Kathie and Robert Durst at their home.

He says Jill and Kathie ‘hit it off’. ‘Both very smart, they’re similar people. At that age. It was hard not to hit it off.

‘I remember him talking to himself in my garage. To me it was like, “oh my god.”‘

Years later, once his marriage to Jill had broken up and after Jill and Joe had gotten married, Kathie started confiding in Stevenson, he says.

‘She said I’m having a real problem with Robert and I’m scared to death.

She said he was being violent with her. At that point, she couldn’t trust anybody around her that knew Robert.

‘I don’t know why she picked me but I’m glad she did.

‘But I do feel that I let her down. I look back at those last two months and go, “what could I have done differently.”

He says he visited Kathie five times between 1981 and 1982. They stayed at Kathie’s apartment in New York City and it was during that time that it became romantic.

I think the DM may be thinking the same thing I am. They have THIS as a sidebar to what I just quoted.

TIMELINE OF BIDEN AND DURST MARRIAGES

  • 1970: Jill and Bill marry
  • 1973: Kathie and Robert Durst marry
  • 1974: Bill says he and Jill hosted Robert and Kathie Durst at their home
  • 1974/1975: Jill and Bill separate
  • 1977: Jill and Joe marry
  • 1982: Kathie Durst disappears

Is there a connection? That might lead to “lives lost”? Read that article.

Can you guess the word I’m thinking?

I strongly suspect that SEVERAL stories are falling apart. It’s not just about dementia now.

PS – check out the “record-correcting troll comments” on the DM articles. They seem professional to me.

To God Be The Glory

The word glory as related to God in the Old Testament bears with it the idea of greatness of splendor. In the New Testament, the word translated “glory” means “dignity, honor, praise and worship.” Putting the two together, we find that glorifying God means to acknowledge His greatness and give Him honor by praising and worshiping Him, primarily because He, and He alone, deserves to be praised, honored and worshiped. God’s glory is the essence of His nature, and we give glory to Him by recognizing that essence.

A question that comes to mind is if God has all the glory, which He does, how then do we “give Him” glory? How can we give God something which is His in the first place? The key is found in 1 Chronicles 16:28-29, “Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.”

In this verse, we see two actions on our part that make up the action of glorifying God. First, we “ascribe” or give glory to Him because it is His due. No one else deserves the praise and worship that we give to glorify Him. Isaiah 42:8 confirms this: “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.” Second, we are to “bring an offering” to God as part of the worship that glorifies Him. What is the offering we bring to God to glorify Him?

The offering we bring to God as we come before Him involves agreement, obedience, submission, and praising His attributes and Himself. Glorifying God begins with agreeing with everything He says, especially about Himself. In Isaiah 42:5, God declares, “I am the Lord God. I created the heavens like an open tent above. I made the earth and everything that grows on it. I am the source of life for all who live on this earth, so listen to what I say.”

Because of who He is, holy and perfect and true, His proclamations and statutes are holy and perfect and true (Psalm 19:7), and we glorify Him by listening to and agreeing with them. God’s Word, the Bible, is His Word to us, all that we need for life in Him. Listening to and agreeing with Him, though, will not glorify Him unless we also submit to Him and obey the commands contained in His Word. “But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who respect him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts” (Psalm 103:17-18). Jesus reiterated the idea that glorifying and loving God are one and the same in John 14:15: “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”

We also glorify God by thinking over His attributes and His deeds. Stephen, in his final sermon before he was killed for his faith, retold the story of God’s dealings with Israel from the time Abraham left his country in obedience to God’s command, all the way to the coming of Christ, the “Righteous One,” whom Israel betrayed and murdered. The crowd who heard Stephen hated what he said, covering their ears and rushing at him to stone him. “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55).

When we tell of God’s work in our lives, how He saved us from sin, and the marvelous works He does in our hearts and minds every day, we glorify Him before others. Even though others don’t always want to hear our glorifying God, He is more than pleased by it. To glorify God is to praise His attributes—His holiness, faithfulness, mercy, grace, love, majesty, sovereignty, power, and omniscience, to name a few—going over them in our minds, and by living our lives with respect, honor and affection to God, and by abiding in Christ.

First Corinthians 10:31 teaches believers to honor the Lord in all they do: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” The context of this verse includes a discussion of the freedom believers have in Christ. We are free to make personal choices in life, but we are not to do anything that causes another person to “stumble” or sin in his own walk with God. We are to seek the good of others (1 Corinthians 10:32–33).

Further, believers may have the “right” to do anything, but not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23). Paul used the illustration of eating meat that had been dedicated to idols. To him, such a dedication meant nothing since idols are not real gods. However, he would abstain from ever eating meat again for the good of others who might sin by following his example. Believers serve the Lord both through their personal lives and in their actions toward others.

To glorify God requires full commitment to Him. In Colossians 3:23 we read, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” The context includes Paul’s directions for Christian slaves working for human masters. Even in this role, their work was to be done as if they were serving Jesus (Colossians 3:24). To honor or glorify God in everything includes having a strong work ethic, even when we work for those we do not like or labor in difficult situations.

Glorifying God in everything means we honor Him in our thoughts and actions. Our thoughts are to be set on the things of God (Psalm 1) and the Word of God (Psalm 119:11). When we focus on God’s Word, we know what is right and can follow through with doing what is right.

Jesus always glorified His Father in heaven. There was never a moment when He did not glorify God. Our Lord’s every thought, word, and action was totally devoted to the glory of God. When Jesus faced the temptations of Satan (Matthew 4:1–11), Jesus quoted Scripture all three times. Jesus was a man of the Word, fully committed to God’s will, and His example in overcoming temptation offers hope to all of us who seek to stand firm during times of testing.

Another way we glorify God in everything we do is in the proper treatment of our bodies. In speaking of immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 teaches, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”

To glorify God in everything, we must exercise faith (Hebrews 11:6), love without hypocrisy (Romans 12:9), deny ourselves (Luke 9:23), be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), and offer ourselves as “living sacrifices” to God (Romans 12:1). Every area of life is important to evaluate and live to its fullest for the glory and honor of God. We should strive for every thought and deed to bring joy to our Father in heaven.

God doesn’t want our recognition of Him to be a part-time, hit-or-miss proposition. He wants us to be continually aware of who He is, what He has done, is doing and will do for us, and to know, trust in, think about and do the precepts that He has given us . . . precepts that He knows will make our lives better for ourselves.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up

Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

The Attack on Tucker Carlson is Classic Weissmann DOJ/FBI Treachery

I knew there was something wrong with the “NSA” spying on Tucker Carlson. NSA spying is traditionally SO deep and so quiet that nobody ever knows anything about it. That’s the way they operate. Big, deep, huge, silent, and NEVER give even a HINT of the magnitude, or the IDEA that it might be abused.

Blowing that on a journalist? Yeah, right.

Even a guy like Tucker.

NSA spying is designed to put all the data in a black hole, out of which any of it ONLY emerges if truly needed. It’s an interesting way to deal with the appearance and disappearance of evidence over time.

IF the cops are honest, and IF they are never conquered, THEN they can hold all our secrets in a black box and ONLY retrieve them if authorized. That’s the basic principle.

We can argue about that all we want, but not today. Just accept it as a REALITY. OK? It’s real. THAT is how the IC deals with the “moving real-time problem”. SAVE it all – sort it out later – LOOK AT IT in an outward-facing way ONLY if authorized.

That’s just the WAY IT IS.

So when we get this story – this NARRATIVE – about the NSA “suddenly” spying on Tucker Carlson – and then we get a story about them releasing information – NAH. It violates two things that I KNOW about an agency which has kept track of me my entire life – FOR GOOD REASONS.

ONE.

The NSA spies on ALL OF US – ALWAYS – ALL THE TIME – EVERYTHING. It’s all saved. There is no NEED to order some special spying on Tucker Carlson. That’s not how it works.

They have all my data. They have all Tucker’s data. It’s a done deal.

The narrative that they “started” spying on him, or even that they spied on him in some special way, is all wrong. It’s bullshit. Whoever came to him was either in on the op to influence Tucker, OR they are a pawn or cut-out in the operation – possibly a true and excellent friend of Tucker – but ANY implication that special spying was done on him is bullshit.

Now the NSA can’t go and deny this, because the TRUTH is untouchable.

Somebody on the other side knows that. An ASSHOLE named Andrew Weissmann.

But we’ll get to him in a minute.

TWO.

NSA does not go around “leaking” stuff, because to do so endangers their mission, their collection, and everything they live for. I’m not saying they don’t care – I’m saying that leaking – the creation of the slightest crack in their “defensive truth” – is not part of the “caring”.

We barely got any information about their HEAD GUY – Admiral Mike Rogers – going to a FISA JUDGE and saying that DOJ and FBI were abusing their data in shocking ways.

THAT is the kind of “leak” that sometimes emerges from NSA. As in, it’s about the NSA.

You know. Like SNOWDEN – a CIA operation.

NSA? They don’t go leaking about journalists. They don’t even leak about ME to counter my ratting out what I know but cannot prove about NSA. They don’t even leak about former NSA whistleblowers.

I’ve been a pain in NSA’s ass my whole life. I’m not going to divulge what they may have done to influence me, but one thing I can tell you is that they did not leak JACK. ZERO. NADA.

SILENCE IS THEIR PRIMARY WEAPON.

SO.

I believe that Tucker is the victim of a multi-pronged discreditation operation as part of a SET-UP to a media-government hit job. I think that Tucker did the EXACT right thing going public with us. I think that NSA data about him WAS and IS going to be used in a hit job on him. But this is NOT an NSA “leak”. Its ABUSE of NSA data.

It’s somebody ELSE doing the leaking.

I think that Tucker was UNMASKED exactly like Trump was – by rogue elements in DOJ, FBI, and/or the Biden administration. I think somebody OTHER that NSA illicitly unmasked and grabbed his *NSA* data, and BLAMECASTED to NSA. Knowing full well – I am sure – that NSA would be stuck holding the bag, with a stupid response full of careful denials that look guilty as hell, and even more, that NSA will be too professional to “respond in kind”.

Now at first, I was just “pretty sure” of the above. I didn’t have what I though was “proof”.

NOT UNTIL TODAY.

Just watch this video, and who is in it.

ANDREW WEISSMANN. The sack of shit behind the MUELLER HOAX.

LINK: https://rumble.com/vjo527-msnbc-says-tucker-is-un-american-for-complaining-about-being-spied-on.html?mref=23gga&

There are very few people who CAN and WILL call out a dirty prosecutor like Andrew Weissmann for being the slimeball that he is, but The Last Refuge is one of them, and that is why that blog has been relentlessly marginalized by media assets of DOJ and FBI. If there is one thing I learned from Sundance, it is the centrality of Andrew Weissmann to the corruption in Washington – and in particular the DOJ and FBI.

Weissmann is HOLDER-LEVEL.

As soon as I saw WEISSMANN in this thing, I knew what this was – the SAME as when DOJ and FBI went after Trump.

This is MORE DOJ / FBI hoaxing and cover-up.

This is a PHONY INTEL WRAP-UP SMEAR – just like what they did to Trump. And they’re doubling the hit job by using NSA for cover.

Andrew Weissmann should be in PRISON – not out on the street talking to fake conservative Nicollle Walllace. Indeed, he WOULD be in prison, if there was real justice in Washington.

But there is not.

I’m sorry, to all you hopeful people, but I’m not waiting for Durham to do anything here.

But now we know.

Weissmann is back, and like DEMON, he will be causing trouble. THIS is just the beginning.

Unless, of course, somebody decides to actually do their job in Washington.

ANDREW WEISSMANN LOVES A FACADE – IT’S HOW TO SPOT HIM AT WORK

2021·07·10 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

His Fraudulency

Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.

All realistic hope lies in the audits, and perhaps the Lindell lawsuit (that will depend on how honestly the system responds to the suit).

One can hope that all is not as it seems.

I’d love to feast on that crow.

Physics?

It looks like the next couple of months aren’t going to be as busy I had thought so I can do some physics posts. See below.

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.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

(Paper) Spot Prices

Last week:

Gold $1788.30
Silver $26.53
Platinum $1094.00
Palladium $2874.00
Rhodium $19,400.00

This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.

Gold $1808.90
Silver $26.19
Platinum $1105
Palladium $2903
Rhodium $18,500

UPDATE: Apparently paper prices are getting closer to reality. I was quoted $125 over spot for an American Gold Eagle (the modern day one ounce bullion piece).

Gold is slowly climbing again, Silver down a touch, Platinum and Palladium up a bit, Rhodium is down. In fact at the beginning of the day today it was at $17,500 but jumped a grand sometime before close.

Max Planck: Physics Starts Getting Weird

Introduction

This is going to start to tie together a few dangling threads out there, notably Hertz’s discovery of the photoelectric effect (how even dim, weak ultraviolet light would help the spark jump the gap but glaringly bright visible light would not), and the puzzle of why black body radiation had a “hump” in its frequency distribution (instead of just going to infinity with higher frequency/lower wavelength).

To recap, we knew of the existence of X rays, ultraviolet, infrared and radio, in addition to “ordinary” visible light.

Also, to avoid getting bogged down in Spockian numbers specified to nine decimal places, I’m going to round a lot of things off.

Max Planck

Planck was born in 1858 in Kiel, Holstein (now the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, it’s the area immediately adjacent to modern-day Denmark).

He was raised as a geek, and ended up teaching at the Humboldt University in Berlin. In 1894 he decided to take up the black body radiation problem. Why did it behave the way it did?

To recap, black body radiation is the glow given off by hot objects (in the idealized case that the hot object is perfectly black). As shown in the figure below, if you plot the wavelength of the light versus intensity you get a hump that’s steep on the high frequency side (left side of the diagram), and less steep on the low frequency side. The peak of the curve tends towards blue (leftward) the higher the temperature, and the height of the curve increases very rapidly as the temperature increases.

Figure 10-1 recap of black body radiation curves.

The best physicists could do as of 1894 (when Planck put his shoulder to the wheel) is design a theory (the Rayleigh-Jeans law) that predicted the distribution should look like the black line in the figure. It’s not a bad match at the low frequencies (longer wavelengths, at the far right) but is totally, ridiculously wrong at higher frequencies/lower wavelengths; the prediction was basically that the higher the frequency the more should be radiated at that frequency. Since you can’t get a sunburn (caused by ultraviolet) off of a wood fire–because the wood fire is not super hot and emits no UV–we know that’s not actually what’s going on here.

Figure 10-2 An approximate rendering of the color of glow of a black body, given its temperature (in kelvin). The sun comes in at about 5800 K, so it’s just a tiny bit off white. The only things you’re likely to have seen that are hot enough to appear to be glowing blue are many stars in the night sky and bolts of lightning. That being said, modern LED light bulbs are generally set to simulate some specific temperature, from “warm” tungsten filaments through sunlight, and cloudy days and shade can give a 7-9 thousand kelvin cast to things that your camera has to try to account for if you don’t, when taking pictures.

An alternate law, Wien’s Law, was proposed by Wilhelm Wien in 1896 (after Planck began his work). It worked well at high frequencies and was wrong at low frequencies. It was a much better fit, but not perfect; it was a bit too low. Alas this diagram is “backwards” (compared to 10-1) with high wavelengths on the left.

Figure 10-3 Wien’s Law.

Wien’s Law looks pretty close, but it’s not right-on, so there was still a problem here.

Max Planck’s goal was to solve the problem, to come up with a formula that gave results consistent with what was actually measured. And since the line that’s “true” in figure 10-3 is labeled “Planck” you can probably guess that he ultimately succeeded.

But not without some trials and tribulations. He tried to imagine the atoms in the glowing object as little oscillators, because that way he could apply entropy to an ideal oscillator. He came up with a proposed law (the Wien-Planck law) in 1899…that, alas, turned out not to match measurements either.

In October of the next year, 1900, he did succeed in writing a law that described experimental results well. This derivation avoided any sort of statistical mechanics, which Planck had an aversion to.

Statistical mechanics was a fairly new thing at the time, it studied large assemblies of microscopic units in a statistical manner; in fact modern thermodynamics relies heavily on it. But in 1900 it was still considered suspect by many, including Max Planck. It had philosophical and physical implications that were distasteful to many.

But Planck, having got a law that looked good on paper…couldn’t for the life of him explain why it worked–and without some explanation of that, it was interesting that his law could match what was seen, but not enlightening. Over the course of the next few months, he did finally, in desperation, decide to accept statistical mechanics as a tool, incorporating Boltzmann’s statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.

This is like a dedicated Marxist coming to the dawning realization that capitalism works and Marxism cannot. That is how desperate Planck was to try new things to figure this out. It was, as he said, “an act of despair … I was ready to sacrifice any of my previous convictions about physics.”

His derivation started with an assumption that seemed totally whacky, and had no obvious basis in reality, but it was: Energy could only be emitted in multiples of a certain base amount. That amount was:

E = h ν

(As a reminder ν is the lower case Greek letter “nu” and stands for the frequency of the light being emitted.)

This meant that there wasn’t just a minimum amount of energy, but that any amount of energy had to be an integer multiple of this amount. It’s sort of like money…you don’t see fractions of a cent. Any amount can be expressed as a whole number of cents, but never is there a fraction of a cent (not withstanding nominal US gasoline prices that end in 9/10 of a cent without fail).

This minimum amount was termed a “quanta.”

But note that it depends on the frequency. So at, say, 600 THz (yellow light) the minimum quanta would be one size, but at 300 THz (infrared), it would be half as much. It’s rather like exchanging your dollars for euros and now the minimum amount you can work with is the Euro cent rather than our cent.

The minimum “quanta” of energy not only depended on the frequency it would be radiated at, but also on this new number, h, which is a constant, now known as Planck’s constant, and it’s one of the most important numbers in physics:

h = 6.62607015×10−34 J s

It’s going to turn up again, and again, and again from here on out.

The units are joule seconds, not joules per second (which is power measured in watts). When you multiply this by a frequency (which is cycles per second) the seconds cancel out and leave you with energy in joules.

In fact, it’s really joules per cycle or per hertz, i.e., one cycle of the wave of the light, but the cycle is expressed as one over seconds (1/s) so when you divide by that, you’re multiplying by seconds.

(As usual when a scientist brings a new constant into things, Planck didn’t actually know the value of h; he just realized that there had to be a value to this number. Today, of course, we know it precisely, because the latest iteration of the metric system actually defines a number of physical constants, including h, to have specific values, and the size of the units involved is set by that action. Thus we have the meter…which is defined to be the distance traveled by light (in a vacuum) in 1/299792458 of a second. Planck’s constant is set to the number above, and from that, we get a definition of the kilogram [because a joule second is a kg m2/s; we have a defined second and a defined meter, so that gives us a defined kilogram]. Before 2019, however, the kilogram was still defined as the mass of a certain metal cylinder kept in a vault in France…a definition which was starting to cause problems, because exact copies made decades ago were no longer the same mass, making one wonder if any of those cylinders was not changing.)

Even with typical visible light, yellow light in particular, having a frequency of about 600 THz, or 6×1014 Hz, you can see that doing the multiplication is going to leave you with a very small number, basically about 4×10-19 joules. Given that a joule is very roughly the energy it takes to lift an apple a meter, this is a very small amount of energy. And as mentioned, the size of the “quanta” depends on the frequency; twice the frequency, twice as much energy in a quanta.

He wasn’t the only one who was skeptical nor was he the most skeptical, Lorentz, Rayleigh and Jeans tried setting h to zero in their work, i.e., meaning that there was no minimum energy unit. That was too conservative even for Planck, who compared Jeans’s inflexibility to Hegel’s: “I am unable to understand Jeans’ stubbornness – he is an example of a theoretician as should never be existing, the same as Hegel was for philosophy. So much the worse for the facts if they don’t fit.”

But, at the time (1900) Planck did regard this as a mere formalism with no real basis in reality, much as there were, at that time, still holdouts in chemistry who thought atoms didn’t really exist, but were convenient conceptual tools. The quantum concept was convenient but didn’t represent something that really existed.

That’s what he thought at the time. Today, we look upon Planck’s use of this concept as the birth of quantum mechanics–which, if it were wrong, would mean that semiconductors don’t work and you are not reading this on a computer screen.

One last wrinkle here; as I mentioned, the constant is “per cycle” which is regarded as analogous to going all the way around a circle. That’s 2π radians. But many formulas (like for angular momentum and rotation rate, when expressed in terms of angles) operate in radians, so there’s a version of Planck’s constant that accounts for this and is expressed in a “per radian” sense instead of a “per cycle” sense. It’s written ħ (a crossed h, called “h bar” in speaking), and is h/2π. This symbol is seen, if anything, even more often than h in modern physics.

But anyway, back to 1900.

Planck was banging on the door to modern physics, unwilling as yet to open it.

Soon, very soon, others would kick the damn thing down.

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

Whoever ends up in the cell next to his, tell him I said “Hi.”

中国是个混蛋 !!!

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Joe Biden Didn’t Win

I Was A Teenage Communist – Hilarious Once Again For All The Right Reasons

Springtime for Hitler just went full Bolshevik.

Never go full Bolshevik! Most of all, in CHINADA.

This is actually a lot of fun, in a kind of sick / maybe not so sick way. It’s complicated.

Stay with me on this and you’ll see.

SCTV had an old (1982) skit, I Was A Teenage Communist, making fun of 1950s conservatism and anticommunism, which for context aired during Reagan’s first term (right after the deep state failed to kill him). It was originally hilarious, being what we didn’t realize at that time, was actually communist propaganda from Hollywood, mocking 50s anticommunism, to keep those progressive gains of three post-war decades fresh.

Anticommunism! What a hoot!

Yeah, add a few decades, multiple internal communist “auto-coups” by the deep state (JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Trump), and a generation old enough, smart enough, and WISE enough to finally see through multiple generations of leftist deception and language games. Add young kids today, who now SEE the crooked communist past clearly, though NEW EYES.

The bankruptcy of American Sovietism, dying on the vine, is there for all to see, but particularly for those with historical perspective.

With time, this SCTV skit became very unfunny as one watches all of the following things:

  • communist foundations laid in the 50s obvious now
  • Hollywood’s lulling communist propaganda of the 70s obvious now
  • anti-communism of the 50’s not properly dealing with communism
  • complete duping of Americans during the 70s by Hollywood
  • absence of anti-communist warning in the 70s and thereafter
  • the horror of what good people missed all the way along

Indeed, if you have CUT THE CABLE, then this skit will almost certainly seem VERY unfunny now. THAT is proof that you’re destroying their programming.

BUT there is a silver lining, and if you watch this with the right frame of mind, it’s hilarious once again – this time as Hollywood (or Iciclewood, or whatever you call these people) self-indicting as Marxist tools. In a sense, they make fun of themselves, by history having validated all the stereotypes that they themselves use for false mockery.

It’s JAW-DROPPING – in a Springtime For Hitler way – as dupey, dopey, Marxist tools mock awareness of their true selves, proven over time.

If you watch very closely near the end, you will even see very calculated mockery of subtle old warnings we have now resurrected as TRUE WISDOM.

At first it’s kinda horrifying, but then it becomes SO unfunny, it’s once again laugh-out-loud funny at the brazenness, the stupidity, and the WRONGNESS of it all.

If you catch the (hilarious (not hilarious (hilarious))) part, it’s sly patriot fun. Just keep saying the word “ghastly” as you watch it, and you’ll get it.

They’ll be studying this clip in propaganda discussions for centuries.

“GHASTLY!”

Enjoy.
