Bonjour, mes amis! C’est Vendredi! Bienvenue au Loup’s Pub! Notre vin aujourd’hui est un tres beau pinot noir: Pinot Noir D’AUTREFOIS
My French is rusty, but it was fun trying to remember! I couldn’t resist because today’s drink special is a scrumptious pinot noir. I picked up a couple bottles on a whim a while ago and just got around to opening a bottle.
It opens lovely, it stays lovely. Beautiful fragrance, color, and texture. Taste is that hard-to-find light sweetness with a pleasant tartness. It looks like D’autrefois winery is quite new, just 20 years old. Their motto is “Enjoyable-drinking wines that are authentic and elegant.” This particular pinot noir is well under $20 and worth every penny. Find it here: D’autrefois Pinot Noir
I have to say it was hard not opening the second bottle!
FOOD BROWN OUTS AND MEAT TAXES?
If you live in a more rural area, as opposed to a metropolitan area, you might have been noticing empty shelves on occasion. In the urban areas, things seem much the same–for now. I was shopping at a Sam’s Club in a suburban area and found this below. Hydrogen Peroxide out of stock. Those bottles below are not Hydrogen Peroxide. And Sam’s has a limit, one per customer, please.
Since when is Hydrogen peroxide a precious commodity?
I have also noticed it being very scarce in places like Walmart and other grocery stores. Stock up, people. HP is a cheap lifesaver. The two links give a good idea of why we should all have a good stock of it on hand.
Speaking of scarcity, the Ice Age Farmer has a good vid below (about 17 minutes), that details how the “Great Reset” elites are slowly turning up the heat on us little froggies. Food shortages, crops rotting in the fields or being destroyed, and special taxes on meat. Coming to a nation near you. See below.
The elites are ever so carefully managing what we see and experience as they try to takedown our economies, nations, and populations.
STOCK UP. Food prices are rising quickly. Getting extra now and stocking your pantry will help down the road. Meat is going to be scarce and expensive until all this gets sorted out. Fill that freezer if you can. Kalbokalbs was thinking along the same lines on yesterday’s opener:
Keep stocked up on the prophylactics we’ve learned about in the last couple years: Vit. D, Zinc, Vit. C, Selenium, Magnesium, HCQ and Ivermectin, and so on. If another virus hits, it might get hard to find those items.
We shall see, but time is of the essence and we should be ready to hunker down again. Some of the larger corporations are making their workers come back to the office. This may seem good, but masks are still an issue, the non-vaccine shots are a problem, and having people back in the office beginning in September is a good way of spreading another bioweapon. Funny how this stuff works…
ANOTHER VIRUS RELEASE?
Now, this could be disinformation, but I don’t want to take a chance and not be prepared. On yesterday’s War Room Pandemic, Steven Bannon interviewed a Chinese woman, Renee, who shared a warning from Miles Guo, that the CCP is planning to release a more virulent virus either in August or September.

AMERICAN GULAG AND MORE
We cannot forget the hundreds of Americans being held as political prisoners in DC.
Tea Partier Ken Buck interviewed by Glenn Greenwald. He gives a good explanation of the dangers of Big Tech, and how many RepubliCONs talk a good game but NEVER WALK THE WALK of reigning in the monopolies.
And aren’t we thankful that President Trump has sued the Trifecta of Google/Twitter/Facebook and their nasty heads? Google’s getting sued by 36 states, too. Anti-trust stuff. ‘Bout time.
Do take a look at Seth Keshel’s Telegram. He is a numbers guy, former military intelligence, and he’s crushing it with probable voting problems in many states. His graphs are awesome.
We’ve come to the place where watching events unfold has become an absurd parody of bad theater both on stage and off.
And trust me, there is some bad theater out there.
What is becoming glaringly obvious in this war for control of the people mind, body and soul is that the Ruling Class people, as Professor Angelo Codevilla labels them, really don’t know We the People, their sworn enemies.
They seriously think American conservatives who they label extremist and violent are going to fall into the trap of shooting first. They do not realize that most of the American right, as it were, is much more savvy than that.
There’s a reason for this.
Today’s Ruling Class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgements about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters – speaking the “in” language – serves as a badge of identity. …
From Chapter 2 of The Ruling Class: How they corrupted America and what we can do about it, by Angelo Codevilla, 2010. Emphasis from DePat.
Coming from a part of my hometown that produces these people, the notion that the people who fancy themselves our betters do think alike, and have siloed themselves in grade grubbing competitions in order to have the privilege of putting specific institutions of higher learning on their resumes. After all, not many of these people end up in NCAA Division One sports. (Okay, some do.)
Dr. Codevilla hits the nail on the head with his description of the social canon. Any deviation from this mentality results in ostracization. (Seriously, my college diploma has one of the coveted names on it. I keep it for sentimental reasons. I can speak the language and socialize with these people for information gathering purposes.)

They want us to take the bait and shoot first to justify putting into place their final plans.
Is it just me, or are the governments of the world just daring their people to rise up against them?
As for watching a movie, at this juncture, it may be true, but that horse is tired. The whole thing about there being two life sized sets of the White House exterior will be shelved for now.

16When he summoned a famine on the land, and broke every staff of bread, 17he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 18His feet were hurt with fetters, his neck was put in a collar of iron; 19until what he had said came to pass the word of the LORD tested him. 20The king sent and released him, the ruler of the peoples set him free; 21he made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions,
Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here – lurkers and members – as well as our families, are welcome.
TL;DR – If you want to CUT TO THE CHASE, scroll on down to THE POINT.
However, if you want to savor the STALKING OF THE HERD before the CHASE, then turn on the MUSIC and enjoy this whole post.
When I realized today just how PANICKED the Plotters of both November 3 AND January 6 are right now – well, I got this weird feeling that we might actually see some ELECTION JUSTICE.
Yeah, they may try to stay cool and collected on the outside, but they see that THEIR plan is leaking like a SIEVE. The FAKE ELECTION SCAM is falling apart at all seams and on ALL LEVELS.
It was actually TWO smaller things today that caught my attention, but they have some big context.
Let’s start with the latter.
The Context
Once you realize who ALL the big players are in the election scam, and add the players in the January 6 election fraud COVER-UP scam, things start making sense.
The Barr betrayal, of course, was most excellent, as far as betrayals go – possibly as good as the Pence betrayal.
I used to think radical scoundrel Eric Holder was the most criminal Attorney General this nation ever had, but now I believe that honor goes to the man who single-handedly erased Donald Trump’s second term – William Barr. ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And I want you all …
I cannot claim credit for realizing that the tactical maneuver of Trump’s supporters to their political demise on January 6, 2021 at Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC, was something known to American historians and anthropologists as a buffalo jump. However, as soon as I heard the ill-fated demonstration called that, all my questions about what …
Then look at that MARCH a little more closely, and realize that Ali set the whole thing up to FAIL.
Alternate Title: Bring Out The Owl! We continue with Part 2 of the Buffalo Jump series. For background, see Part 1: If you want a TL;DR version of what was wrong with the Capitol Rally on January 6, 2021, imagine trying to fit a million people into the little area numbered “8”, in the upper …
Then observe how certain elements of the MILITARY were tied into it.
Alternate Title: The moment I realized that GOD would back me in going asymmetrical on these unworthy China-compromised “U.S.” military bastards. I have recently come into possession of information which made a lot of things start making a lot more sense. I only needed a final confirmation that I was correct – and I just …
Then finally take a look at the weirdness of Nancy Pelosi and the FBI signaling over old COMMUNISM and CORRUPTION.
Impeachahontas Now Wearing Two Diapers Nobody expected Chris Wray to play Mafia Nan’s queen of diapers face-up on January 6, but that is exactly what appears to have happened. The only question now is WHY. To quote a friend from a former life, “AYE-YI-YI!” OK – let me back up a bit. First, I want …
And THEN I put it all together – but used that awesome BURN of the “QAnon experts” and global contractors as an introduction of a COVID-reframing post, which I have to say looks better every day as more truth comes out.
PREFACE I thought that I might withhold this post on Easter Sunday, and then I changed my mind, thanks to Deplorable Patriot, Trump, Gab and Jesus. If anybody ever FOUGHT on Easter Sunday, it was Christ. It’s time to FOLLOW POINT. The Branch Covidians have taken a toll, but the WAR is turning, and – …
And if you want a finer (but admittedly fuzzy) point on the karmic downfall of these “barely American” people who think they can paint American patriots as “extremists” and get away with it, evidenced in the context of the brilliant Flynn family suit against CNN…..
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 …
Now, as the COVID plot started really falling apart….
Don’t relax now – we have them ON THE RUN There are many SIGNS that we have scored a MIDWAY VICTORY….. ……in the fight against the COVID PLOT. I’m not kidding. Bringing down the SPIKE PROTEIN – the ABORTION PROTEIN – and the WHOLE-BODY SPREADINGTHROUGH-SKIN SHEDDINGTEEN-AGER DEADING mRNA vaccine – is like – in reference …
…..attention shifted back to the January Sixth Plot. Darren Beattie and Revolver News really began taking it apart, when I realized that the old thoughts from the SECOND Buffalo Jump post were extremely relevant, now in the context of a guy named Ali serving up the pitches that FBI needed and was counting on.
You know, I can be such a chump. But I do have one interesting trait. When I get WISE to having been made a chump, I bring an extraordinary amount of justice with me. The justice. Of truth. Known so that all can SEE IT. No violence. The TRUTH can handle itself. And the TRUTH …
This was followed by another post where I realized the GAME that Ali was playing with the RINOs he had been operating with since he was a McCain hack back in 2008.
This is just a simple question, but if the answer is YES, it has huge implications. Now, if you don’t know who I’m talking about, I just did a piece about Ali Alexander, a.k.a. Ali Akbar, here: Beware The Ace of FIBs You know, I can be such a chump. But I do have one …
That was yesterday. My point was, Ali made a big deal of distancing himself from the GOP(e). Sure looked like he was throwing them some COVER.
I threw in Liz Cheney’s photo as a bit of an afterthought, like a bobber on a fishing line. Who would have thought that a FISH would strike the bobber?
The Point
TODAY, two things happened which are EXPLAINED by old posts.
First, Pelosi decides to farm out the Capitol Hill Police to field offices in all the states. If that doesn’t stink, what DOES stink?
It’s a simple question, but I think it needs to be asked. My money says Her Slyness, Queen Jussie of Pelosi, is going to do what Chris Wray KNOWS is destroying the FBI – the harassment of patriotic Americans for going to THEIR Capitol and registering the MILD REBUKE of YELLING outside the Capitol Building, …
I see this as “offense is the best defense”. The commies got PINCHED by pushback against the FBI – so they PUSH FORWARD with a new stratagem. Nancy knows that far too many people see her as the Jussie Smollett of January Sixth. Gotta do something about that. FIB would be the normal mechanism of federal bullying of patriots.
But FIB has it’s own problems there.
You see, it is my belief that Pernicious FIB was taking too much HEAT for going after patriots DIRECTLY, and I’m sure that state and local LE have had their fill of this political bullshit.
I’m guessing that FIB recruitment is taking a BIG HIT.
Wray’s ability to cut off Pelosi from using FBI to go after ALL the Trump supporters in DC – an agency-killing folly – comes from his owning the “D’Alesandro Dossier” on her and her father.
FBI showing Pelosi that they had goods on her, was the answer to the mystery covered by the 4th post of the Buffalo Jump series. Clearly Wray has bought some independence from Pelosi with those old records on her father’s mafia ties and pussyfooting with Moscow, of which he only showed a “clean taste”.
So we see some discomfort amongst the plotters against Trump.
And now THIS.
I’ll get to what he said momentarily. But let me tell you – the moment I saw this, I took it for what it was – the same thing Schiffty Schiff does. GET AHEAD of the story by FLIPPING IT fast, hard and early onto your opponents. Straight outta Goebbels.
Sorry, Adam – not gonna work. You were a dupe and a putz to go along with CIA on its stupid payola operations to “create terrorists to go after terrorists to raid the piggy bank”.
But your biggest mistake was trying to flip that narrative onto patriotic Americans – meaning onto the DUPES of GOOD WILL who have gone along with this shit unknowingly for the last 20 years, since your last big hoax.
So now let’s get to the meat of what RINO Kinzinger is doing to EVADE justice.
This is an article in Red State by Sister Toldjah – one of the best opinions in conservatism no matter what position she takes. Even when I don’t see it exactly her way, she is THE BEST articulation of the NEXT intelligent mainstream viewpoint.
Her arguments are always close to, and appealing to the emerging stage of modern, mainstream conservative thought. So don’t expect her to be fronting “conspiracy theories” like I’m proposing. She’s not bleeding edge – that is left up to people like us. But if we’re RIGHT, expect her to get there in a timely fashion.
Please click these links and bookmark them – this is going to be a nifty point in proving what is going on, later. Also, I’d prefer that Red State get the clicks, even though I’ve saved this whole article TWICE because of its importance.
Sister is making some AMAZING points right here. The most important is this:
Kinzinger made a very dangerous claim in that interview. It’s dangerous enough that he needs to start flashing some receipts if he has them – because while claiming a politician “incited” a Jan. 6th-style is serious enough, claiming they actually took part in planning it is much worse, and shouldn’t be alleged without some cold, hard proof.
In short, regarding the allegation members of Congress knew in advance what would happen, Kinzinger needs to put up or shut up. It’s just that simple.
Now – it is basically known that in these “Goebbels battles”, which traditionally start by the perpetrator accusing back when the heat gets close, the perpetrator is essentially inoculated by the falsely directed accusation and saved by the confusion. The act of “media-required denial” is then shifted to the righteous accuser rather than the guilty perpetrator.
And with New York Slimes as the media, you KNOW this is not the truth – this is backing up of Democrat LIES.
BUT Sister STILL makes a great point for BOTH sides. Show the receipts.
My job is speculating what kind of receipts exist and where they might be, based on observations.
Personally, I don’t think that a dumb putz like Kinzinger would be involved in the deep planning and preparation of the January Sixth frame job. HOWEVER, the degree of panic he is showing here leads me to believe that he was aware of what was going to happen.
He is – in my opinion – showing consciousness of guilt.
He KNEW there would be a frame-up of Trump on that day, so that he could ACT in ways that would lead the Congressional crowd in the directions it needed to go.
Now I don’t have receipts beyond “body language”, but I’m fairly certain his accusation MUST contain the full weight of his own guilt. So let’s read it.
NYT:Do you suspect that some members of Congress were aware of what was going to happen that day and supported it?
Kinzinger:I won’t name names, but yes, I do have that suspicion. I will say, if you just looked at Twitter — the whole reason I brought my gun and kept my staff home and told my wife to stay in the apartment was looking at Twitter. I saw the threats. When Lauren Boebert — I will call her out by name — tweeted “Today is 1776,” I don’t know what that meant other than this is the time for revolution. Maybe it was a dumb tweet that she didn’t mean. Fine. I’ll give her that credit for now. But if you have members of Congress who were involved in nurturing an insurrection, heck yeah, we need to know.
Now, I won’t speak for Sister Toldjah here, nor for Lauren Boebert, and especially not for RINO Kinzinger, but I can very well speak for myself as an “insurrectionist” (OY VEY) in the crowd that day.
WE WERE DENIED OUR RIGHTEOUS AND PEACEFUL PROTEST. And we were denied our right by the creeps who set up the violence.
Most of us DID in fact protest peacefully, and we were DENIED THAT TRUTH by the fake news media, which is basically the Democrat press.
Guess what? ALL OF US expected a BIG PROTEST. We indeed hoped to YELL so that they would hear us inside. We wanted to CHEER and throw our hats in the air when Mike Pence sent those crooked votes back to the state legislatures.
Which of course didn’t happen, because, like most of the others, Mike Pence was in on the SCAM. Not necessarily knowing the whole thing, but FAILING TO DO HIS DUTY just like all the others who conspired by action or inaction to deny Trump his rightful victory, and to deny US our rightful President.
If everybody just shrugged off their DUTY, it would work. That is how the scam worked.
A STRIKE by government.
A STRIKE against the PEOPLE.
Pathetic.
Anyway, Kinzinger is pathetic, too. He likely will never have to answer with jail time for being an accessory before the fact, mostly because, IMO, he surely didn’t do much other than play along with Nancy Gambino’s charade.
Yeah, he didn’t go running to the FBI and telling them about THEIR PLOT. LOL. Yeah, really. Hilarious. And that is the REALITY in which we live. Don’t go telling the FBI about crime it FAVORS.
But to accuse Lauren Boebert? That’s LOW. That’s really low.
And I agree with Sister Toldjah. RINO Kinzinger – for his own good – had best not FALSELY ACCUSE. When I accuse him of things, I truly BELIEVE my accusations. Enough to take them back when I have contradictory evidence.
Indeed, if I were RINO Kinzinger’s lawyer, I could truthfully argue that he deserves no punishment for being in on “Barr’s shrugging coup” of Donald Trump. These people are perfectly within their RIGHTS to not do their jobs or their duties – to “take a dive” – and even to conspire for what might be regarded as “legally permissible injustices”. Otherwise known as politics.
But to try to paint Lauren Boebert as anything other than a law-abiding American patriot?
It’s a good thing GOD is GOD and not me, because I’d seriously think about TORCHING that fucker with a lightning bolt. His LYING MOUTH deserves nothing less.
And that’s not extreme. Not by the GEORGE WASHINGTON who loved the TRUTH even more than I do.
It’s a simple question, but I think it needs to be asked.
My money says Her Slyness, Queen Jussie of Pelosi, is going to do what Chris Wray KNOWS is destroying the FBI – the harassment of patriotic Americans for going to THEIR Capitol and registering the MILD REBUKE of YELLING outside the Capitol Building, while TREASON ruled the day on the inside.
And that would be TWO kinds of treason.
(1) The phony, fake, stolen election, working with CHINA, on November 3, 2020.
(2) The Jussie Smollett-style FRAME JOB on Trump and his supporters on January 6, 2021.
Yeah, when I read this thing about Pelosi setting up what will amount to Capitol Hill Police FIELD OFFICES around the nation, at first I thought it was a strong move for Mobbie Dearest.
CRAZY LIKE A FOX.
But THEN I realized how this is REALLY playing.
CRAZY LIKE A MOONBAT.
Jussie Pelosi, partner in crime with the FBI on January Sixth, is UNWILLING to leave well enough alone what Chris Wray knows is DESTROYING the reputation of the FBI.
And Chris Wray has the goods to say “NO” to Jussie Pelosi. You’d better believe it.
Impeachahontas Now Wearing Two Diapers Nobody expected Chris Wray to play Mafia Nan’s queen of diapers face-up on January 6, but that is exactly what appears to have happened. The only question now is WHY. To quote a friend from a former life, “AYE-YI-YI!” OK – let me back up a bit. First, I want …
See, I didn’t really get why Wray made a rather eloquent “nicey-nice threat” to expose Pelosi’s mafia and red diaper roots (by dropping a CLEAN version) on January Sixth.
Now it’s obvious. Wray has the FREEDOM to protect the FBI from Pelosi’s insanity, which would DESTROY the reputation of the FBI even MORE than she has already done.
In fact, I think that even DODGE (that would be DOJ) may be jumping off the crazy, burning, Pelosi wagon.
Is she MAD? Is she CRAZY?
I stole this great image from Sundance, and that gives me the opportunity to push you to read his very wise thoughts on this latest sinister genius from Donna Gambino Lucchese D’Alesandro Pelosi.
I strongly advise that you read the whole thing, because the END is very important, and I have not cited it here. Whether your thoughts lean toward HOPIUM or NOPIUM, something is coming. Sundance sees this as proactive federal preparation for it. His rationale is strong, and I am in full agreement.
So does this mean she will REALLY go after the “January 6 small fry”?
I think that’s a very good question. I mean, Congress could decide to rein her in – or not. States could decide to cooperate with this – OR NOT. Indeed, I think there are already some states and counties that SAY they are prepared to ARREST federal officers regarded as taking unconstitutional actions against residents.
And I think that Nancy “Jussie” Pelosi knows EXACTLY THAT – and is adopting a policy of CHALLENGING STATES.
And THIS is where we get into the GUILT of Nancy Pelosi, and how she ALWAYS operates like this when her guilt is building because the TRUTH is showing.
Indeed, I think only the probable pedophile Adam Schiff, friend of Ed Buck, is more POWERFUL in his attacks on those who have the goods on him, than Nancy Pelosi.
Look back at those impeachments. Pelosi and Schiff – THEY are the ones who attack with the full force of the federal government, and the full demonic chutzpah of the most brazen and Orwellian lies, at the first sign of their own weakness.
Jussie Pelosi knows that BUFFALO BOY’S headgear is in every possible way, HER version of Jussie Smollett’s MAGA hats.
But there is ONE MORE TREAT that I want to offer, and that will be my next post.
Have a nice heaping helping of JUSSIE PELOSI here, but save some room for a side of JUSSIE KINZINGER.
It’s boring anyway. Fitting in would mean a whole new wardrobe.

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
4155When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.” 56So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth. 425Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 6Now Joseph was governor over the land; he it was who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground. 7Joseph saw his brothers, and knew them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. “Where do you come from?” he said. They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.” 17And he put them all together in prison for three days. 18On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God: 19if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households, 20and bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so. 21Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us.” 22And Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you not to sin against the lad? But you would not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.” 23They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them. 24Then he turned away from them and wept; and he returned to them and spoke to them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

From Wolf yesterday:
Wolf Moon Wolf MoonOffline Author Coyote 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.
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.
Somehow, I think this guy exceeds the weight limit for that aparatus.
You know, I can be such a chump. But I do have one interesting trait. When I get WISE to having been made a chump, I bring an extraordinary amount of justice with me. The justice. Of truth. Known so that all can SEE IT. No violence. The TRUTH can handle itself. And the TRUTH …
This is the guy you NEVER heard of, who was suddenly the “savior” of Trump’s stolen election. He appeared out of nowhere and started organizing the DEBACLE of January Sixth.
Just a minor point that he once worked for one of Trump’s greatest enemies – John McCain – doing dirty election ops.
Yeah, you can’t make this shit up.
Just a coincidence.
But it gets worse.
NOW – if you click that link above, you will get an explanation of why I was misled by this dude, despite my initial suspicions that he was trouble, which came from THIS article:
Alternate Title: Bring Out The Owl! We continue with Part 2 of the Buffalo Jump series. For background, see Part 1: If you want a TL;DR version of what was wrong with the Capitol Rally on January 6, 2021, imagine trying to fit a million people into the little area numbered “8”, in the upper …
The latter was the SECOND post in the Buffalo Jump series. That series had FOUR posts, and several related ones followed. In each, it became more apparent that the entire January Sixth outcome was the result of some rather technically admirable and sophisticated criminal orchestration by enemies of Trump.
Anyway, if you read that Buffalo Jump post, you will see that I was suspicious of Ali, but not nearly as much as I am now.
My main point was this:
EVERYTHING about the logistics of the march to the Capitol was designed to fail. The planning was so bad, so illogically wrong, that it was impossible to believe that it was mere incompetence. It was all wrong in ways that were designed to go exactly where it went.
a guest post by our dear house guardian Suspicious Cat NOTE FROM WOLF: This post may require some explanation. After allowing my somewhat mythical and somewhat not mythical sister Fox Moon to have her guest post, our dear pet Suspicious Cat has demanded to have his post, too.You see, Suspicious Cat considers himself to be …
Aubergine’s razor is what brings home the BACON from Democrat-infested reality.
But then it gets even better, because Millie Weaver, ToRE, and Patrick Bergy all figured out that Ali was up to dirty tricks, and published it as part of a now-forgotten but EXTREMELY important documentary called “Psyop The Steal“.
I cannot recommend highly enough that you watch this at least once. Yes, it’s an hour and a half, but it is very conclusive about what went on at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
If Nancy Pelosi has a hearing, THIS DOCUMENTARY MUST BE SHOWN.
And remember – this work by Millie and colleagues was long before all the work that Revolver and Darren Beattie have done on January Sixth.
This supports the information I presented in my documentary PSYOP The Steal back in February.
Somebody figured out that Ali was SIGNALING CIA color revolution crap with all his “orange” and “orange dream” stuff. In particular, I cannot find the image of the tweet where he talks about dreaming that orange would be the color of the January Sixth protest, but I know it exists.
Nor can I find the article where people spotted the significance, but somebody figured out that “antifa red + proud boys yellow = orange = CIA color revolution” – and while I didn’t really buy that at first, once I saw the very phony tweet about dreaming orange, I figured – yeah, there is big bogus stuff going on with Ali.
BUT HERE IS THE KICKER.
I believe that Ali’s part of the plot was KNOWN and blessed by the RINOs in the GOP.
Just take a closer look at this tweet we saw earlier.
When I saw this tweet, way back then, I believed that Ali Alexander really was chiding the GOP brass who did such a piss-poor job of defending Trump.
But that is NOT what I believe now.
I believe that Ali Alexander was intentionally distancing himself from another party in the plot – the GOP RINOs. The McCain faction. The Decepticons. The Establishment.
Ali Alexander, Ali Akbar, whatever, was THROWING COVER on the GOP.
See how that works to destroy Trump’s movement? The GOP brass DRAGGED THEIR FEET and DRAGGED THEIR ASSES on election fraud (other than collecting money), so that we would feel unable to do anything, and thus latch on to STOP THE STEAL – the FAKE life preserver.
It’s EVIL GENIUS. It’s designed to not just get Trump, but get rid of his movement as well.
I’m not going to state that Ronna is a bad girl here. It’s a possibility, but who knows? I don’t have evidence of that. But something stinks here. Sure, Ali could have been trying to scam the GOP for money, but I don’t think so. I think he was giving them cover.
Convince me that I’m wrong.

PS
Ali is trying to come back now and protect himself on January Sixth – AND he’s trying to insinuate himself in the forensic audits in Georgia.
Good grief! Please keep this TURD away from the audits! Merrick Garland’s little boy is just going to make it worse. It is Ali’s ABSENCE over the last few months that has allowed clarity on the plot.
There are more good people than bad. The wizards and warlocks (inside term) will not allow another Satanic Evil POS control our country. Realize Soros, Clintons, Obama, Putin, etc. are all controlled by 3 families (the 4th was removed post Trump’s victory).
11.3 – Podesta indicted 11.6 – Huma indicted
Manafort was placed into Trump’s camp (as well as others). The corruption that will come out is so serious that deals must be cut for people to walk away otherwise 70% of elected politicians would be in jail (you are seeing it already begin). A deep cleaning is occurring and the prevention and defense of pure evil is occurring on a daily basis. They never thought they were going to lose control of the Presidency (not just D’s) and thought they had control since making past mistakes (JFK, Reagan).
Good speed, Patriots. PS, Soros is targeted.
Sometimes it’s good to have a reminder that, really, we are in a war, and that just like the other side, we have to have people who infiltrated the operations arms of the enemy.
And who are these people who we fight for the soul of the nation that they really don’t recognize?
Dr. Angelo Codevilla wrote about them in his tome, The Ruling Class, in 2010. Rush Limbaugh described them in the introduction:
For twenty years, I have been asked, “Rush, why don’t the Republicans do X?” One answer I’ve settled on is that people never really get out of high school. Wanting to be part of the big clique dominates their lives. It’s a quest for power, for acceptance, for belonging to the “in” crowd, however it’s defined.
Republicans are the way they are in Washington because Washington is a culture and a place that is run and dominated – not just politically, but socially – be Democrats, by the left. They’re the big clique. The Republicans also live there. Everybody wants to get along with those you live next to, and in Washington, the center of power in the world, everybody wants to be in the Ruling Class.
And the in crowd clique wannabes will do whatever it takes to maintain their grip on power. (As if we needed more proof that the “leaders” who are not psychopaths are not all that mentally strong.)
They also inspire others to mimic them via all means of propaganda without really understanding what they insult and want to malign.
Oh, and about the 2020 presidential election:
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:

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.
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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, although some of us are beginning to wonder what the threshold for true adulthood is:
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.
32As they were going away, behold, a dumb demoniac was brought to him. 33And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” 34But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.” 35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
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.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
You know, I can be such a chump. But I do have one interesting trait. When I get WISE to having been made a chump, I bring an extraordinary amount of justice with me.
The justice. Of truth. Known so that all can SEE IT.
No violence. The TRUTH can handle itself.
And the TRUTH is coming for FAKE ALI and all his “capitol-breaching”, Jussie Smollett, insurrectionist friends.
You know. The REAL insurrection.

I said ALL his friends.
Oh, c’mon, man! ALL his friends.
Whoops. Wrong propaganda.
That’s more like it.
But wait – where’s Liz Cheney?
And how about that “QAnon expert” who knew about the plot back in November of 2020?
Yeah. There’s a LOT of folks who were part of it.
So, if we’re going to have some “information warfare”, why not strike the enemy on a holiday evening?
Yeah. Tonight is such a night. Today is such a day.
REVEL IN IT.
Today is not just me posting. It’s an AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION day.
It is a day which will allow patriots to prove themselves. Or not.
ENTER THE ARENA IF YOU DARE.
TIME has worked to our advantage. We can now SEE what was done to us.
We can SEE who the REAL “insurrectionists” are.
We can SEE who set us up. We can SEE who framed Trump.
We can see who ACTUALLY attacked the Capitol.
We can SEE who does not deserve respect. We can SEE who the REAL enemies of America are.
And there’s more. There’s always MORE.
You see – once you realize that ERIC HOLDER created the Oathkeepers in 2009, who were “sacrificed” on January Sixth to create the false narrative about REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS that they needed, everything falls into place.
The enemy is a LOT more sophisticated than what we have wanted to admit. A LOT more. And yet, they are SO STUPID for picking the wrong side.
SO – we’re not going to attack this whole thing today. It’s too big. But what we ARE going to do, is to look at the “Stop The Steal” scam, featuring FAKE ALI, and come to grips with HOW we were scammed.
IF ONLY I had trusted my gut on this, rather than letting “PC thoughts” convince me that a guy named Ali Akbar might be on America’s side.
Look at the date on this warning. I SAW THIS and IGNORED THE WARNING.
OH YEAH WE KNOW ABOUT THAT YESSIR.
So – here we are.
What I want to do, in particular, is drill down to how this scam operated at the level where PEOPLE HERE have relevant information – at the STATE rally level.
You see, I have relevant information. I’m sure others here do, too. They MUST. Why, I’m sure of it.
So – we’re gonna ante it up like a card game, until we have some serious PROBLEMS for Ali and his friends.
THAT will be coming later today. And I want to REST UP for it.
I’m going to post what I have written here now so people can start thinking. One person in particular will need to have some good information. And I ain’t gonna settle for BULLSHIT. We need stuff that seriously inconveniences our enemies. And SURELY somebody intimately involved in the Stop The Steal movement in their state can do exactly that.
But even if that person does not show up at our little card game, I am sure that the remainder of us will come up with some very interesting thoughts.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is 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).

Thankfulness (gratitude) is a prominent Bible theme. 1st Thes 5:16-18 says, “Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in ALL circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Did you catch that? Give thanks in all circumstances. Thankfulness should be a way of life for us, naturally flowing from our hearts and mouths.
God’s Word tells us why we should be thankful and how to have gratitude in different circumstances.
Psalm 136:1 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” Here we have two reasons to be thankful: God’s constant goodness and His steadfast love. When we recognize the nature of our depravity and understand that, apart from God, there is only death (John 10:10; Romans 7:5), our natural response is to be grateful for the life He gives.
Psalm 30 gives praise to God for His deliverance. David writes, “I will exalt you, O Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. O Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. O Lord, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit. . . . You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever” (Psalm 30:1-12). Here David gives thanks to God following an obviously difficult circumstance. This psalm of thanksgiving not only praises God in the moment but remembers God’s past faithfulness. It is a statement of God’s character, which is so wonderful that praise is the only appropriate response.
We also have examples of being thankful in the midst of hard circumstances. Psalm 28, for example, depicts David’s distress. It is a cry to God for mercy, protection, and justice. After David cries out to God, he writes, “Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy, and I will give thanks to him in song” (Psalm 28:6-7). In the midst of hardship, David remembers who God is and, as a result of knowing and trusting God, gives thanks. Job had a similar attitude of praise, even in the face of death: “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised” (Job 1:21).
There are examples of believers’ thankfulness in the New Testament as well. Paul was heavily persecuted, yet he wrote, “Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him” (2 Corinthians 2:14). The writer of Hebrews says, “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe” (Hebrews 12:28). Peter gives a reason to be thankful for “grief and all kinds of trials,” saying that, through the hardships, our faith “may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed” (1 Peter 1:6-7).
The people of God are thankful people, for they realize how much they have been given. One of the characteristics of the last days is a lack of thanksgiving, according to 2 Timothy 3:2. Wicked people will be “ungrateful.”
We should be thankful because God is worthy of our thanksgiving. It is only right to credit Him for “every good and perfect gift” He gives (James 1:17). When we are thankful, our focus moves off selfish desires and off the pain of current circumstances. Expressing thankfulness helps us remember that God is in control. Thankfulness, then, is not only appropriate; it is actually healthy and beneficial to us. It reminds us of the bigger picture, that we belong to God, and that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3). Truly, we have an abundant life (John 10:10), and gratefulness is fitting.
The Bible is filled with commands to give thanks to God (Psalm 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 1 Chronicles 16:34; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Most verses go on to list reasons why we should thank Him, such as “His love endures forever” (Psalm 136:3), “He is good” (Psalm 118:29), and “His mercy is everlasting” (Psalm 100:5). Thanksgiving and praise always go together. We cannot adequately praise and worship God without also being thankful.
Feeling and expressing appreciation is good for us. Like any wise father, God wants us to learn to be thankful for all the gifts He has given us (James 1:17). It is in our best interest to be reminded that everything we have is a gift from Him. Without gratitude, we become arrogant and self-centered. We begin to believe that we have achieved everything on our own. Thankfulness keeps our hearts in right relationship to the Giver of all good gifts.
Giving thanks also reminds us of how much we do have. Human beings are prone to covetousness. We tend to focus on what we don’t have. By giving thanks continually we are reminded of how much we do have. When we focus on blessings rather than wants, we are happier. When we start thanking God for the things we usually take for granted, our perspective changes. We realize that we could not even exist without the merciful blessings of God.
First Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” We are to be thankful not only for the things we like, but for the circumstances we don’t like. When we purpose to thank God for everything that He allows to come into our lives, we keep bitterness at bay. We cannot be both thankful and bitter at the same time. We do not thank Him for evil, but that He is sustaining us through it (James 1:12). We don’t thank Him for harm He did not cause, but we thank Him when He gives us the strength to endure it (2 Corinthians 12:9). We thank Him for His promise that “all things will work together for the good, to those who love God and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
We can have thankful hearts toward God even when we do not feel thankful for the circumstance. We can grieve and still be thankful. We can hurt and still be thankful. We can be angry at sin and still be thankful toward God. That is what the Bible calls a “sacrifice of praise” (Hebrews 13:15). Giving thanks to God keeps our hearts in right relationship with Him and saves us from a host of harmful emotions and attitudes that will rob us of the peace God wants us to experience (Philippians 4:6–7).
Thank you, God, for everything, The big things and the small. For “every good gift comes from God”… The giver of them all.
And all too often we accept, Without any thanks or praise, The gifts God sends as blessings, Each day in many ways.
And so at this time, We offer up a prayer… To thank you, God, for giving us A lot more than our share.
First, thank you for the little things That often come our way, The things we take for granted But don’t mention when we pray,
The unexpected courtesy, The thoughtful, kindly deed, A hand reached out to help us In the time of sudden need.
Oh, make us more aware, dear God, Of little daily graces That come to us with “sweet surprise” From never-dreamed-of places.
Then, thank you for the “Miracles” We are much too blind to see, And give us new awareness of our many gifts from Thee,
And help us to remember That the Key of Life and Living Is to make each prayer a Prayer of Thanks And every day Thanksgiving
–Helen Steiner Rice
