“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
My working hypothesis is our enemy are the Brits. Specifically the Fabian Society, The Cecil Rhodes/Milner Round Tables, the Rhodes Scholars, the London School of Economics and Oxford University.
At first I was puzzled by the destruction of the UK via immigration until I realized it was consistent with the Fabian Society desire to destroy our current world, based on Christianity and independent thought, in order to implement their ‘New World Order.’ Note that our most recent illegals are NOT Christians from Central and South America, but non-Christians shipped in from Africa and elsewhere.

Penny Butler of Australia has an excellent compilation such as this (2 minutes)
DrMahathirMohamad former (and longest serving) Prime Minister of Malaysia who for over 40 years as a world leader would have been privy to the highest level international meetings warning at International Conference of the New World Order, in Putrajaya, 2015 of the global elite’s The New World Order and depopulation agenda. Unbelievable.
War_Hamster (Brady) mentioned that Britain actually has 55 votes in the United Nations. So the British Empire has not really died, it has just gone underground as The FiveEyes (FVEY) intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, shows.
FIVE EYES spying on Trump et al in 2016.
Confirmed…Barack Obama and John Brennan committed Treason.
Some time ago I wrote a piece entitled Q is Real Because Math Says So, in which I demonstrated why we can be mathematically certain that Q is a legitimate insider connected to the Trump administration.
The author goes over why he thinks Q is friend not foe.
Joe Lange another Badlands author wrote Bloody Wonderlandabout the Uranium One deal.
Why did Q say, “It’s a name recognized around the world.”
The Uranium One deal is connected to someone that nobody ever mentions. This drop is dated Nov 2, 2017, just three days before Prince Alwaleed would be arrested in Saudi Arabia along with hundreds of his allies.
That’s also why Q often mentions “Alice and Wonderland.”
Who is Alice?
What is Wonderland?
This is just one of the many Q drops on the day Alwaleed was arrested.
By the time POTUS returns from his trip the world will be a different place. Godfather lll Alice &

Here’s another Q drop on the day Alwaleed was arrested.
We need to get organized. Things need to be solved to understand what is about to happen. Let’s start w/ Alice & WONDERLAND.

Joe Lange then writes:
Who is in control?
Alwaleed was a big puppet master controlling the Obama administration, lots of politicians around the world, big corporations, media and banks. He also controlled the CIA. Removing him from the chessboard threw the enemy into chaos. They’ve been reacting to what’s been happening ever since.
….
My question is WHO controls Al Waleed?
So let’s take a look at Al Waleed, Obama’s mentor and part owner of the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay resort, including the 32nd floor, which was involved in the Las Vegas massacre.
Hopefully by now we realize the people we see, like Obama, the Clintons, and perhaps even the Rothschilds are not the true puppet masters but only their visible lieutenants.
From the Bank of England forward all the governments of Europe had central banks for a very good reason. The kings and princes of Europe had learned from hard experience that they could raise the taxes of their subjects only so high and then they had a revolt on their hands and they tended to lose their jobs (and heads). It appears that that natural level was about 40-43%; people will tolerate taxes up to about 40-43% and then they start digging in their heels and they just won’t allow it to go any further.
Griffin was talking about taxes, but it extends to anything the ruling elite want to do that they know the peasants will revolt against. So it is best to let your lieutenants heads roll.
Al Waleed is a grandson of Abdulaziz, the first king of Saudi Arabia, and of Riad Al Solh, Lebanon’s first prime minister…. Al Waleed received a bachelor’s degree in business administrationfrom Menlo College in California in 1979,[30][31] finishing in two-and-a-half years,[1]: 43 and a master’s degree with honors in social science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 1985,[32][33] finishing in eleven months.[1]: 57
Lebanese historiography transformed them into a national myth, portraying Khuri and Sulh as the founding fathers of an independent Lebanon, who heroically resisted French occupation in the struggle for their country’s independence and national unity. A third figure, however, is missing in this myth: that of Major-General Edward L. Spears, who played a key role in both events. Footnote1
This article aims to shed light on the unique collaboration between General Spears, the British Minister for Syria and Lebanon, and Riad al-Sulh, independent Lebanon’s first prime minister. The two worked closely during the Second World War to bring an end to the French Mandate and to force France out of a region where it had centuries-old religious, cultural and economic ties. It focuses on the period between February 1942, when General Spears was appointed by Winston Churchill to head the British Mission to Syria and Lebanon, and November 1943, when the Lebanese constitutional crisis effectively concluded France’s control of Lebanon.
To uncover the extent of their collaboration is no easy task, as it was shrouded in secrecy…
So in both cases there was major British influence.
This 730-page history book reads more like a gripping novel, with its protagonist carrying the tale from start to finish. In addition to plotting the course of how myriad Arab provinces came to become the rigid collection of states that we today call the Middle East, Seale also chronicles the life of Lebanon’s prodigal, yet perhaps most important, son: Riad el-Solh.
The life of Lebanon’s first prime minister is recounted from the days of his grandfather Ahmad to his untimely death in Amman in 1951.
Seale, who spent six years researching material for the book, describes a dark and tumultuous period of Arab history, jumping back and forth between the life of his protagonist and the broader events happening at the time, to offer one of the most comprehensive books in English on Arab struggles against Ottoman, Western and now Zionist occupiers.
The book cites countless sources from historical works, intelligence documents and personal accounts to paint what is, at times, a rose-tinted picture of Riad el-Solh’s political life and the role he played in shaping Lebanon and the wider Middle East. Seale portrays Solh as an internationalist, an Arabist, a working class sympathizer, an anti-colonialist, a journalist and a lawyer all in one…. Seale describes Solh’s most significant change of heart, when he started to believe in an independent Lebanon, something that set him apart from his fellow Arab nationalists. From that point onward, the reader follows Solh’s every political maneuver to become the first premier of the country, as he navigates his way past colonial French occupation, hostile Maronite opponents and even his own family members. The chapter describing how he and Bishara el-Khoury, the British-backed first president of Lebanon, battled with the French in the final throws of their colonial project, is separated into rounds — 14 of them, each a page or two long.
Finally, Seale describes how King Abdullah I of Jordan, the great grandfather of the current king, who sought to end the fight with the Zionists, tricked Solh into coming to Amman to mend ties that had deteriorated, only to be assassinated in what Seale suggests was an Israeli plot.
……………..
OIL
Oil is a very big factor. Without oil, Saudi Arabia is just a desert inhabited by a bunch of backward goat herders. Do you really think uneducated Bedouins could setup an oil industry without American or European aid? One interesting tidbit is the mismanagement of oil money causing major headaches for the Saudi Kings. The question then becomes, WHO taught them how to handle money? WHO helped Al Waleed become a multi billionaire?
Colonel Towner has on more than one occasion brought up the corrupt officials within countries that are the puppets of the ‘International Syndicate’ aka GRIFTERS.
“The International Syndicate has dispatched these forces down there (to S. America) to take democracies and dismantle them. In doing so they have to have that powerful elite that we have talked about repeatedly, that are corrupted officials that are on the payroll of the international Syndicate and the CIA. They are the modern day plantation overseers.
So I think Joe Lange has it backwards, Al Waleed is more likely a puppet of the CIA. A very, very useful puppet who got Obama into the White house, helped choose his cabinet AND transformed US Mosques towards radicalism. (Good luck finding a better link anymore!)
…When Ibn Saud established a council of ministers in 1953, Saud became its president, and in November of that year he became king with the support of his brothers.
He continued his father’s program of modernization, with special emphasis on increased medical and educational facilities. Domestic affairs, however, were overshadowed by a crisis in the administration of the central government; in the early 1950s the first large-scale petroleum royalties began to be received, and financial and administrative affairs became too complex to be conducted simply on the personal authority of the king. Saud had neither the ability nor the inclination to cope with these problems, and he so mismanaged the financial affairs of the state that he was forced to reconstitute the council of ministers and give full executive powers to Faisal as its president. Saud did not regain executive authority until 1960….
Saud abdicated in 1964 and Faisal who became king was assassinated by a nephew in 1975. Faisal instigated theOil Embargo of 1973–1974. If you actually believe that the Rockefellers were NOT behind that embargo that started the steep rise of oil prices we are still seeing… Well I suggest you read:
….the shortages of petroleum which have been artificially created in the US has made us dependent on foreign oil. In order to calm an angry public, there has been much talk of taking off the political restrictions and achieving “energy independence”. It is strictly a smokescreen. While talking independence, the Rockefeller conspirators are planning to keep us dependent on foreign oil. After all, they own or market most of that foreign oil.
In the Wall Street Journal for March 6, 1974, Henry Kissinger admitted the talk about “energy independence” was a fraud. Project Independence is merely a weigh station on the road to a new Project Interdependence and at the World Energy Conference in Detroit during September 1974, President Ford, speaking without any detectable ventriloquist’s strings, declared:
“I call on all of you to respond to the challenge and to propose to the world your recommendations for a global energy strategy. Whether you call it Project Interdependence, or some other name, is not the essential point.”
It is the “interdependence” which is essential. The created crises in energy, food, and population are straw men, set up by the Insiders so they can be knocked down and a “New World Order” can be established.
You can see why POTUS Trump’s ‘Drill baby DRILL’ causes panic in the hearts of the globalists.
The above quote is disputed but this quote is directly from David Rockefeller’s 2011 “Memoirs”, p.368, Random House
BTW, most of Faisal’s sons attended university abroad at either Cambridge or Oxford or US Ivy League schools. LINK Also of interest,Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Alwaleed’s father, was Saudi Arabia’s finance minister during the early 1960s. 🤔
Another interesting tidbit from my old notes:
SHELL OIL OWNERSHIP Shell Oil (and BP and the Rockefellers) have been pushing global warming since day one when they provided the initial funding for the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia. The Dutch royal family (The House of Orange) is still reportedly the biggest shareholder in the Dutch part of the group, although the size of its stake has long been a source of debate. The Queen of England is also a major stockholder link and Scuttlebutt and more Scuttlebutt.
Another major stockholder is the Rothschilds, along with the Rockefellers.. The Rothschild Investment Trust was formed in 1988 => RIT Capital Partners. Rockefellers and Rothschilds Unite
With 261 billion barrels of crude oil lying beneath its soil, Saudi Arabia remains the lynch pin in the international oil grab presided over by the Four Horsemen of oil (ExxonMobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco & Royal Dutch/Shell). As Joseph Story, Middle East analyst and former ARAMCO executive once said, “Only one factor is involved in where the price of oil is going to go, and that is Saudi Arabia”….
According to Platt’s Oilgram News, Saudi ARAMCO also supplies Big Oil with discount crude, giving them $5/barrel off the posted spot price of whichever grade of crude the Horsemen are buying. ARAMCO official James McPherson resigned in disgust because the company was holding back from direct competition with the US Horsemen. McPherson then revealed a $17 million ARAMCO tax fraud to Saudi authorities.
Abdullah Tariki, Saudi Director of Petroleum and Minerals, went public with the charges and announced new transit fees that would be charged the Horsemen to compensate for the rip-off. Within days of the proclamation Tariki was driven from office by King Fahd [1982 –2005] himself. [110]
ARAMCO’s lawyer was John McCloy, who chaired both Chase Manhattan and the World Bank. McCloy, who helped David Rockefeller wisk the Shah out of Tehran, was one of six “Wise Men” who advised President Johnson and was an influential member of the Warren Commission, which “investigated” the Kennedy assassination.…
John McCloy was another very interesting character.
According to WIKI:
He served as Assistant Secretary of War during World War II under Henry Stimson. In this capacity he dealt with German sabotage and political tensions in the North Africa Campaign. He was both the prime mover of Japanese internment[2] as well as a high-ranking Federal bureaucrat who opposed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[3][4] After the war, he served as the president of the World Bank,U.S.High Commissioner for Germany, chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Warren Commission, and a prominent adviser to all presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan.
McCloy was a member of a foreign policy group called “The Wise Men“.
…Britain’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, and specifically those efforts to support the nation’s aerospace industry and boost the economy through arms exports, has generated its fair share of barking dogs. For Mourinho, it was his seemingly boundless self-belief. For the United Kingdom, national security has been the overriding factor that has allowed our particular caravan to carry on its journey.
The heavy lifting required to achieve closer integration falls to the triumvirate of the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Department for International Trade. When it comes Saudi Arabia, the 2006 deliberations of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Attorney General also have an important role to play. It is a well-coordinated and focused effort across Government designed to give the commercial sector the freedom of action they require to ensure security and deliver prosperity.
…the UK-Saudi relationship should be seen as a model of how Government integration can deliver both security and prosperity. Both are issues that cannot be ignored in today’s volatile and unpredictable world. This article will examine the UK-Saudi relationship, specifically the efforts to support the nation’s aerospace industry and boost the economy through arms exports.1
Britain is not alone in its determination to keep the Saudi caravan rolling along. There are clear tensions in the United States where President Biden’s ‘recalibration’ towards Saudi Arabia is a far cry from candidate Biden’s rhetoric on the campaign trail when he vowed to make them ‘the pariah that they are. It is the view of Frederick Kempe, President of the Atlantic Council, that when it comes to Saudi Arabia, ‘it is better to have a flawed or deeply flawed ally than an adversary’. He is keen to emphasise that the return of Great Power competition means Saudi Arabia could turn to Russia or China should the West abandon its support. Deeply flawed or not, the 2018 UK Saudi Arabia Joint Communique is a clear sign of how the UK intends to maintain its relationship with the Kingdom.
Fusion – Three Years and Counting
The 2018 National Security Capability Review is a useful place to remind ourselves of the UK’s National Security Objectives. Number one is to protect our people (at home, in our overseas territories and abroad, and to protect our territory, economic security, infrastructure and way of life). Number two is to project our global influence – reducing the likelihood of threats materialising and affecting the UK, our interests, and those of our allies and partners. National Security Objective Three is to promote our prosperity – seizing opportunities, working innovatively and supporting UK industry.2 So there we have it, economic security, threats against the UK and supporting UK industry are the building blocks that form the foundations of the UK’s seemingly unbreakable relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Khashoggi – when Dodging a Bullet is not the same as Ducking the Issue
The UK’s relationship with Saudi Arabia has not been perfectly smooth and the UK has not remained silent at every turn. In 2019, Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan called the mass execution of 37 mainly Shiah Muslims as ‘repulsive’ and ‘utterly unacceptable in the modern world’. Britain’s response to the murder of [Jamal] Khashoggi was not quite so stinging. This is despite the fact that the CIA concluded that the operation was approved at the highest levels by Mohammed bin Salaman (MBS). For anyone who felt that the UK had dodged a multi-million-pound export-laden bullet by ignoring MBS’ involvement, Dominic Raab was able to clarify that situation. He told Parliament that the Government had not ducked the issue, and stressed the point that even the United States had not brought any sanctions to bear against MBS. Case closed as they say.
Conclusion
Despite the UK’s long-standing relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it has been an increasingly challenging journey, one not helped by Saudi’s involvement in the war in Yemen since 2105. By integrating and coordinating various offices of state, the UK Government has successfully provided the private sector the freedom of manoeuvre it needs to sell arms and military aid. Although the MOD has several personnel advising the KSA, it is the use of private contractors that allow the UK to operate at range; not taking part in the war in Yemen but facilitating the Kingdom to continue its Iran-facing operations. This is a potent and effective mix and one that demonstrates that the UK has, at least in the case of Saudi Arabia and the war in Yemen, achieved a truly integrated approach and certainly a model for the future. Perhaps this is a model that is already being reshaped? Prime Minister’s Johnson’s response to the Liaison Committee following the sale of Britain’s largest chip-making plant, Newport Wafer Fab, to a Chinese firm was simply that he did ‘not want anti-China spirit to pitchfork away every investment from China in this country.’ If you were wondering, Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea at the end of 2015. Sometimes the dogs win – don’t be like Jose.
(Maurice Strong, the ‘Father of Global Warming’ worked for Rockefeller’s CalTex in Nairobi. It was the joint venture between the Texas Company and Socal to exploit Saudi oil. LINK)
….Maurice bought the Colorado Land & Cattle Company and its accompanying 200,000 acres of San Luis Valley in Colorado in 1978 (now owned by the Conservation Fund)….The ranch belonged to Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, a man who’s career was started by the Bin Ladens and who [had]strong connections to British intelligence.
… At the ranch there are representatives of many of the world’s religions, spiritual movements, and New Age sects, including the Catholic and Protestant churches, Buddhist monks, and representatives of different variations on Hinduism. A circular temple has been built on the ranch where the missionaries of different religions can contemplate with each other. If you look at the floor plan you’ll see the building is a complex flower (the representatives sit in circles within this flower) within a Celtic Cross/Hindu Kiakra. The latter two represent a divine sexual union. The building seems to be a Rosy Cross, which can be interpreted as having the same meaning….
Jamal Khashoggi was born in 1958 to a well-connected family. His grandfather was Mohammed Khaled Khashoggi, King Abdulaziz Al Saud’s personal doctor. Jamal is also the nephew of late billionaire Adnan Khashoggi.
After graduating from Indiana State University in 1982, Khashoggi quickly launched a career in journalism….
Known for being a vocal critic of Riyadh, Khashoggi used to be a loyalist before Prince Mohammed bin Salman became the crown prince in 2017.
In the 1960’s, Adnan made a name for himself by brokering arms deals between Riyadh and Washington.
Reportedly also having close ties with late Israeli PM Ariel Sharon, Adnan became a prominent figure in Middle East politics.
Adnan was implicated in the Iran-Contra affair and suspected of being the middleman who brokered back-door arms sales to embargoed Iran during the Reagan administration.
In 2015, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal launched a TV station called Al-Arab News and appointed Jamal, his close confidant, as its editor-in-chief.
However, the TV station aired for less than 24 hours before shutting down, citing technical difficulties. Rumors started to circulate that the Saudi government pressured the station into closure after it broadcasted a Bahraini politician from opposition.
According to Jamal’s friends, who spoke to BBC Turkey and wished to remain anonymous, Jamal’s problems began shortly after the Al-Arab News incident.
Jamal was barred from speaking to any news outlets and could not find any work during this time, and chose to self-exile himself to the U.S…
In my opinion Al Waleed was extremely dangerous to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his plans to remove Saudi Arabia from the grip of the ‘International Syndicate.’ Mohammed bin Salman’s plans are not to use Saudi’s oil money to buy influence in the USA or promote touchy-feely causes at home, but to train his people in the sciences and technology and INDUSTRIALIZE so Saudi Arabia can actually join the first world.
Reading between the lines, I think the capture and information extraction from the royal princes probably was actually about finding and eliminating the NATO/CIA trained Stay-behind Units. This would go a very long way to defanging the ‘International Syndicate’s’ control of Saudi Arabia.
I think Jamal Khashoggi was eliminated because he was actually a CIA gun runner just like his uncle and therefore dangerous to the stability of Saudi Arabia. As we are finding out, being a ‘journalist’ is such a useful cover.
In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.
___________________________________________
For those who are unaware, the American Stories you will read in this series are about the period around the signing of our great Declaration of Independence. It is pure coincidence that POTUS Trump recently unveiled same on the wall in the Oval Office, the series started months before that event. Of course I had no advance notice, just a mutually shared respect for our nation’s history and perhaps its greatest founding document.
My focus is on providing summary information about the signers, founding fathers, major events and observations of conditions on the ground. I do not provide a complete list of sources, this is not a biographical/documentary type work. However, nearly everything I provide in summary form is taken from sources openly accessed from the web. Sometimes the information is conflicted, so I use my judgment based on the reliability of the sources and government information if available. For example, some founder birthdates and number of children in families are frequently different in utilized sources. As a result I may pick the one that is in general consensus or state the discrepancies.
Occasionally I provide links to sources to provide a basis for that part of the story. I also consistently utilize one excellent publication that is from The Sun newspaper of Conway, SC that was published as an Independence Day supplement over 30 years ago. It provides short summary biographical information on each signer.
My goal is to not only inform the readers of these great patriots who risked everything for the good of all Americans past, present and future; it is also to draw comparisons, parallels and interconnections with patriots and the state of America today. I want readers to see the signers were real people with human desires and personal issues like all of us. None had it easy, including the wealthy and privileged. All chose the hard road when it became time. All suffered worldly loss in some form. None expressed regret for having done so.
From these comparisons I hope you will see the hand of God that has protected and led our progress as a nation. Our founders did and expressed it repeatedly in the founding and their personal documents as well as evidenced by their words and lives. It is this writer’s opinion that we should go and do likewise.
Now on to today’s story.
Do we go there right off the bat? Oh. what the heck, why not? It is April Fools Day.
I really do not want to cast dispersions or offend any reader with this discussion. It is just a fact we have not yet addressed the 800 pound gorilla in the room. I promise not to digress and go deep into the beliefs, practices and perceived impacts of this organization worldwide over thousands of years. What was true for its members in the beginning would bear very little resemblance to how it is today. For this series we just need to acknowledge its presence and observe what may have been its effect on America during the Revolutionary War period of this series. Of course, I am talking about freemasonry.
To set the stage, remember that both Britain and the colonies were populated with large segments of members, just more so in Britain. That presented a major problem as Britain was executing their plans to rule the world while losing their shirts financially. To understand the history of the organization better as well as the history around the war period from the freemason (Masons) perspective we will go straight to the gorilla’s mouth. Please read the short summary link below.
Did you notice that France’s Marquis de Lafayette, who was a major ally to the colonists was also a Mason? Most have read or heard that George Washington was one from reports (especially Masonic reports), but did you know that according to the organization’s representations, many of his Generals may have been intentionally selected by him because they were Masons? How about John Paul Jones who directed the naval activities? Yes, the same one who replaced his boss, Esek Hopkins, the brother of Declaration signing patriot Stephen Hopkins. The same Jones who used similar defensive naval maneuvers successfully that Esek developed, over which Esek was criticized and had his command taken.
There were about a hundred social lodges and also fifty or so Mason affiliated military lodges in the colonies at the time of the war. We would probably know the latter as party bars and indoctrination centers for current and future Masons, many of whom went on to serve in the Colonial Army. The following is an interesting history of them per a lodge. Take it with a grain of salt as they even state they have no actual record of their “history” in a similar manner as the previously linked article.
Let’s take a closer look at the brags of the Masons in that first link above. What about that statement of Washington trusting fellow Masons for his Generals and that nearly all of them were Masons. If true (it isn’t), what were the actual results of those represented in the article? Warren, Wooster, Herkimer, Mercer – dead in the first year of hostilities. Whipple and Hancock – active, but much of their time, especially with Hancock, was spent in Congress and with other activities. We also have Hancock’s dubious, I am too-sick-to-hold-office period that coincided with Shay’s Rebellion. Interesting that he returned to the governor’s role after the worst of the period was over, so that he could claim the reconciler role.
Of them all, Whipple seems to have served with distinction on the battlefield in the northern campaigns. Muhlenberg – served with Washington in major battles, but the Masons really do not know much about him and his connections to them. We know his connections to Lafayette and German factions were beneficial to the colonists. He primarily led VA militia in the southern regions. Girard – have no idea how or why he was even listed. He was a merchant with a dubious personal life who had precious little to do with the war effort and nothing noted in his historical accounts other than shipping into ports that were blockaded at times. If it were not profitable for him to do so I doubt he would based on his personal life. He did not even become a Mason until well after the war in 1788. In my opinion it is a bit of a stretch to include him.
They had a major dilemma to work through. What was a British Mason in the military in America supposed to do in opposition to a Colonist Mason in the military if they were supposed to be “brothers” and not opposed to the government? Good question with no clear answers. Britain had a very large segment of Masons. America had its share and some of them were loyalists to the Crown as you can imagine. Below is a discreet paper discussing the issue from a California Masonic lodge.
As this text is copy protected – I will just summarize their response to the issue. Since Masons are to be “a peaceable subject to the Civil Powers” and to “never be concern’d in plots and conspiracies against the peace and welfare of the nation”; they are in a bit of a pickle with this one. What happens if Masons who are in power are the non-peaceable oppressors of fellow Masons who are citizens under the same King and Parliament? What happens if Masons in power and in the British military take actions against Colonists and fellow Masons in direct conflict with existing legal documents and treaties between the parties?
In this case and in reality, they killed and injured each other anyway. If you are British Masons you also burn down the homes and imprison your “brothers” in dungeons and prison ships where they starve and die of diseases while terrorizing their families and communities. Quite the brotherhood. Their words seem to want to disassociate their actual activities in the world from what the organization says they do. I can almost hear “It’s nothing personal, just doing my job.”
So lets go back to American icon Gen. George Washington. See the link below.
As we know you can be a Christian, which the vast majority of our founders were, and be a Mason as well. They are not mutually exclusive unless you choose for them to be. However, to be a Christian you must check your allegiance to freemasonry at the door when in conflict with the teachings of Christ and the Word. One master – not two – is required to be a Christian. If this article’s representation is correct and I found other sources that substantiate many of their claims, Washington attended a grand total of four Mason meetings his entire life per their own organization’s records that have been shared. That meant he was just a social type member during the rare times he was involved, probably a 3rd degree or less. Yet, records of Christ’s Church in Alexandria, VA, his home church, show he was very active there. In fact, there was a Washington family box of seats and his adopted daughter, Nelly, stated he rarely missed a Sunday despite it being 2-3 hours travel time from his home. In fact, his church attendance happened wherever he was even during the war per records and statements of men who were there. His men heard him reference God and Christ to them in encampment and there are quotes from them in the records. The linked article then provides the following,
And if he did not believe in Jesus Christ, how then would skeptics be able to define the following statement from George Washington’s prayer journal, “O eternal and everlasting God…Increase my faith in the gospels…daily frame me more and more into the likeness of thy son Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time attain the resurrection of the just unto eternal life.”
There were several portraits made of him in Masonic garb, but he actually sat for none and he was reported to having stated that one was “mason propaganda”.
I think we can probably shut down the Masonic exaggerations and misinformation at this stage, but let’s take one more step to refute their self promoted value and that Washington made it nearly a requirement to be a Mason to be a General. Who were the other Generals under Washington’s command that were not freemasons? We have previously addressed the good and bad exploits of one in Gen. Horatio Gates (and will again). How about many of those listed in the following link?
The link is direct from a Washington archivist’s information. There were other Generals not listed in either link as well.
To summarize, George Washington was obviously Christian first and foremost from his own words, actions, documents and reports from those in his association. There is the direct derogatory quote from the man himself about the Masonic portrait. He is recorded as having only attended four Masonic meetings in thirty years of reported membership. There were many more prominent military leaders and generals who were not Masons that were selected by him to serve in command of troops beyond what is represented by the Mason organization. Better yet, most of them were not killed in battle like so many of the Masons.
This case is closed.
There is no doubt that members of the Masons contributed greatly to the war effort just like non-Masons. We remain very grateful for their contributions and service. But to claim the high ground and associations they do even today is disingenuous and false. Once again we see that the truth will set us free.
Let’s finish this part with the two remaining Connecticut signers.
Samuel Huntington
I like to refer to Samuel Huntington as the Steady Eddie of the signers and our early government. That description honors him, he served our young nation so well. His story that follows explains why.
Huntington was born in 1731 in the town of Scotland in Windham County, Connecticut to parents, Nathaniel and Mehetable Huntington. He and his family were of the Congregationalist Christian faith. His father was a farmer and clothier, who built his home in the town in 1732 that still stands. The predecessors in his family had immigrated there in the mid-1630’s. Samuel was educated some in local common schools, but for the most part was self educated. He apprenticed as a cooper (barrel, cask, vat, etc. maker) at age 16 while continuing to work on the family farm. He borrowed books to study in history, Latin, and the law, from the library of a local minister as well as attorneys. He was admitted to the bar at age 23 and opened a practice in Norwich, CT. He married Mary Devotion in 1761 at age 29, who was the daughter of his minister, Rev. Ebenezer and Martha Lothrop. She was 21 years old. Her family had fled persecution and immigrated from France and England in the mid 1600’s.
Huntington was first elected as a representative to the Connecticut Assembly in 1764 where he was reelected to serve for ten years. During the period he was also named as the King’s Attorney by the Royal Government until he was named a Justices of the Superior Court. This led to him being Chief Justice in 1778. As the struggles with Britain worsened he became a vocal critic of the Coercive Acts of Parliament. The members of the CT Assembly elected him to be a delegate to the Second Continental Congress. When it came time to vote on the Declaration, he approved and signed the document without hesitation. He continued to serve in the Congress in committees during the war as well as back in the CT Assembly. When John Jay was named as a minister to Spain, Huntington stepped into his role as President of the Congress in 1779. He was instrumental in the passage of the Articles of Confederation as he assuaged the fears of the states who struggled with the decision since he was a Federalist. In his letter to each state he said the following, “By the Act of Congress herewith enclosed your Excellency will be informed that the Articles of Confederation & perpetual Union between the thirteen United States are formally & finally ratified by all the states. We are happy to congratulate our Constituents on this important Event, desired by our Friends but dreaded by our Enemies.”
Oh yeah, the quiet message of strength that remains in America today.
Huntington remained in the President of the Congress position until his health took a turn for the worse and he returned to CT in 1781. A few months later Cornwallis surrendered to American and French forces at Yorktown, which signaled the end of the war. Per the Descendants website, he wrote to Chevalier de la Luzerne, the Minister Plenipotentiary of France, giving full recognition to the French contribution toward the American success: “I cannot deny myself the pleasure of congratulating you Sir on the important & Glorious Success of our Combined Forces on the complete Capture of Lord Cornwallis and all his Army. The conduct of the Comte de Grasse so far as it hath come to my knowledge charms me: his drubbing the British fleet Sufficient to teach them to stay at due distance not again attempt to Interrupt the Siege & main object. May our Successes this Campaign be in proportion to the Generous and unparallel Aids received from his most Christian majesty and prove Eventually productive of the Happiest Consequences to the perpetual advantage of both nations.”
In 1785 he was selected as Lt. Governor of CT. The following year he was elected Governor. He dealt with many issues including selecting the permanent site for the state house in Hartford. He presided over the negotiations for approval of the U. S. Constitution in 1788. He served as Governor of the state to the day he died in 1796, two years after the death of his wife, Dorothy. The couple had no children of their own, but had adopted Samuel’s nephew and niece , Samuel, Jr. and Frances, when his brother had died. As an adult Samuel, Jr. moved to the Ohio territory and was instrumental in the future state’s development. He went on to serve as the third Governor of that state.
Samuel Huntington was a solid Christian human being. The Descendants website described him best in my opinion, “Huntington was always supportive of encouraging the states to fully comply with levies for men, supplies and money. Not an alarmist, nor a defeatist, Huntington was a steady, faithful, calm patriot, well respected and admired by his colleagues. His steady hand helped keep the Congress together as the infant nation faced military reverses in the field, following the euphoria of the surrender of the British Army under General Burgoyne at Saratoga on October 17, 1777.”
Samuel Huntington was the leadership glue that helped hold the independence movement focused and together. He was a great American Patriot.
Oliver Wolcott
We have another signer who did so much it all cannot be covered in detail in a summary series such as this. Oliver Wolcott was born in 1726 in Windsor, CT. He was the youngest of 10 to 15 children (depending on sources) of Royal Governor Roger Wolcott and mother, Sarah Drake Wolcott. The family was of the Puritan faith. Not much is known or stated about Oliver’s early years. However, he entered Yale and graduated at the top of his class in 1747. He immediately received a Captain’s commission in the NY militia by Governor Clinton. He went on to serve in the Seven Years War. When he returned he chose to move to Litchfield, CT to study medicine under his uncle. However, his career plans changed as he settled on property his father owned. He became a successful merchant and was appointed the county sheriff at age 25. He was popular and developed an interest in politics, which saw him elected to the General Assembly in both houses. This led to him being appointed as a judge.
He married Laura Collins in 1755 who was from Guilford, CT and they had five children together. She was from an established respected family of Captain Daniel and Lois Collins. Their common beliefs and relationship are best represented by letters to her from Oliver. One such letter from Philadelphia in 1776 said, “MY DEAR–I feel much concerned for the Burden which necessarily devolves upon you. I hope you will make it as light as possible…. You may easily believe that the situation of publick Affairs is such that the critical Moment is near which will perhaps decide the Fate of the Country; and that the business of Congress is very interesting. Yet if any excuse can reasonably be allowed for my returning, I shall think myself justified in doing so. The circumstances of my affairs demand it.”
From geni.com, “The patriotism of Laura Wolcott was in keeping with that of her husband. Her home was thrown open at all times to those who were in any way aiding the cause. And while Oliver Wolcott gave freely of his money for patriotic purposes, she furnished blankets, stockings, and supplies from their farm for the army, almost continuously.“
By 1771 Wolcott was named a Major of the Thirteenth Regiment and Colonel of the Sixth Regiment in 1774. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the independence movement. His business suffered with the unrest, yet, he did not let that stop him as he knew what was coming. He was chosen for the First Continental Congress with service following again in the Second. From connecticuthistory. org comes the following, “Wolcott noted in April 1776 that, “a final separation between the countries I consider as unavoidable.” In the summer of that year, a brief illness and Wolcott’s increasing role in military affairs drew him away from his political responsibilities, resulting in his absence from Congress during the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Despite his absence at that watershed moment, he signed the parchment copy of the Declaration that autumn (and also later signed the Articles of Confederation in the summer of 1778).”
During the time soon after the Declaration was approved and signed he commanded fourteen regiments in the defense of New York City under the direction of Gen. Washington. His forces assisted in the defeat of Gen. Burgoyne and the British troops in the Battles of Saratoga. He was named Major General over all of CT militia afterwards and spent the rest of the war with his men defending the state’s coastal communities.
After the war ended he returned to politics. He was elected Lt. Governor of the state in 1786 and Governor ten years later. He died in office the following year. Unfortunately his beloved Laura did not live long enough to see him as Governor as she passed in 1794. Their son, Oliver Jr., became Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents George Washington and John Adams. He went on to be elected Governor of the state after that.
An incredible servant of the people, Oliver Wolcott was a great American Patriot. So were his wife and oldest son. It was a family tradition.
Conclusion
The nature of this series is to provide summary discussions about each of these patriot founding fathers and their families. I urge readers to research deeper with each and other subjects they have interest in knowing more about from that special time in history. The more we know the history, the better prepared we are for the world in which we live today.
Enjoy your day and be blessed, folks! Go make something good happen.

Naming a statin drug “Lepid” is – well – interesting, amusing, and maybe even lepid.
MUSIC!
Searching for lepid and music led to a single song by “Lepid” called “Shill”, but looking for a video of that one let to “The Shill Song” – which is funnier.

Ministering Spirits
Hebrews 1:14 includes information about the ministry of elect angels to believers: “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” Angels are spiritual beings involved in many different tasks, and part of the elect angel’s work is to serve, or minister to, believers in different ways.
The Greek word for “ministering” refers to being in service to others. Being servants, angels are said to “serve” believers, which in the original Greek has the idea of someone waiting a table. The author of Hebrews refers to angels as ministers or servants to those who have trusted in Jesus for salvation, and the context of Hebrews 1 specifically contrasts the service of angels with the greater work of Jesus, since He is superior to angels (Hebrews 1:5–14).
As “ministering spirits,” angels serve believers in several ways. At times, angels are sent by God to answer prayers. An example of this is when Peter was imprisoned shortly after the execution of James (Acts 12). As Peter was in his cell chained between two guards, “the church was earnestly praying to God for him” (verse 5). “Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. ‘Quick, get up!’ he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists” (verse 7). The arrival of an angel to rescue Peter was an obvious answer to the church’s prayer. God can use angels to answer our prayers just as He did in this instance, even if it is not in a visible manner.
Another way that angels are ministering spirits is that they are sometimes sent to encourage believers. In Scripture, angels encouraged and attended the Lord Jesus at least twice: after He was tempted in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights and in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 4:11; Luke 22:43). Paul was encouraged by an angel during a storm at sea (Acts 27:23–24).
Providing protection for believers is another service that angels do for the Lord (see Psalm 91:11). An army of angels surrounded Elisha in 2 Kings 6, protecting him from the Arameans. Daniel was protected in the lions’ den by an angel who “shut the mouths of the lions” (Daniel 6:22). Many people believe in personal “guardian angels”; it could be that every believer has an angel assigned to him for protection, but there is nothing specifically stated in the Bible about personal guardian angels.
Despite the ministries that angels carry out for believers, it is important to remember that the Lord of hosts is our Savior, and He is the one who ultimately sends them. Angels do not act on their own accord, nor are they omniscient or omnipresent (Psalm 148:5). The holy angels do God’s bidding. It is God alone who deserves the praise and glory for the answered prayers, encouragement, protection, and service that angels carry out for believers.
We are grateful for the “ministering spirits” that God has ordained, and we give God praise for His care for us. For all their power and glory, the elect angels know their role as servants of the Most High. Like the angel in Revelation emphatically said to John when the apostle tried to worship him, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!” (Revelation 22:9). https://www.gotquestions.org/ministering-spirits.html
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
Our Turn
[Yes, I did this one just after the election. But it was too cathartic to just throw away.]
We’ve often seen that quote from David Plouffe: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”
This was of course a declaration of intent to annihilate not just Trump, but rather “his kind.”
You know what? I think we should flip it around. David Plouffe’s kind should be destroyed thoroughly and their kind must not rise again.
What is Plouffe’s kind? I suppose it depends on who’s talking and what they are thinking of in particular. Well, at the moment it’s me talking and I am thinking of the sort of maggot who is attracted to politics not to better his world but rather so that he can wield power over others, or line their pockets with “free” money. Often these people end up as what Ayn Rand called “pull peddlers,” receiving money in exchange for using their connections to do favors.
This type is parasitic. Utterly parasitic. And they should be destroyed thoroughly and not allowed to rise again.
The bad news is we will never eradicate them. Useless turds who can’t do anything productive will always be with us. As will the outright sociopaths.
Of course they find Trump to be their enemy. And of course they find us to be their enemy. If we won’t simply lie down and let our “betters” have their way with us, we’re a problem, we’re something to be got rid of. And of late, we haven’t lain down without a protest, as we are “supposed” to do. Dang uppity Garbage Deplorables! We don’t know our place!!!
The good news is we can provide far fewer niches for these parasites. The niches come into being when something that people formerly did of their own free will is taken over by the government; then every aspect of that activity becomes a political football.
Take for instance education. Since the government runs it, if you don’t like what’s being done, you have to form a political movement and try to work your way around the maggots embedded in the bureaucracy. If education were private, then if you didn’t like what they were doing to your child, you’d take your money and your child elsewhere. And people who didn’t even have school-age children presently would have no voice–and not have to pay money. Making it a government “thing” turned it into a political thing, and the maggots began to swarm.
So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.
People like Plouffe are the same type, but they are the full-on political hacks who set policy, rather than implement it. They’re just as bad if not worse; they help government grow, and steer it into serving its own ends, rather than those of the people it is supposed to be serving.
The Deep State is nothing more than a government that serves its own ends.
And we have had enough of this.
They must be destroyed thoroughly, and their kind must not rise again.
This election wasn’t the end, it was the beginning. There are millions of these malignancies in this country and we’ve just defeated two of them. Keep pushing. Now we can go after them wholesale.
It’s our turn.
Our turn.
Our turn.
OUR TURN!
You stole the 2020 election. You’ve mocked and ridiculed and put people in prison and broken people’s lives because you said this thing was stolen. This entire phony thing is getting swept out. Biden’s getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck, okay?! And now you’re going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.
And I’m going to tell you, we’re going to get to the bottom of where the 600,000 votes [are]. You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think what this country would be if we hadn’t gone through the last four years of your madness, okay? You don’t deserve any respect, you don’t deserve any empathy, and you don’t deserve any pity.
And if anybody gives it to you, it’s Donald J. Trump, because he’s got a big heart and he’s a good man. A good man that you’re still gonna try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. Okay? You’ve destroyed his business thing. And he came back.
He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history. Like, [Roman statesman] Cincinnatus coming back from the plough [returning to politics to rescue the Roman Republic]. He’s the American Cincinnatus. And what he has done is a profile in courage. We’ve had his back. But I got to tell you, he may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man. But we’re not. Okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution, justice. But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we’re prepared to give it to you.
Steve Bannon, on election night

January 6 Tapes?
Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.
For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.
If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…
Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.
Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.
Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.
I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.
In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.
Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.
The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”
Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.
We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.
And yet,
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?
In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).
We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)
We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).
That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.
Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”
If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.
That should make you good and mad.
The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.
I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.
In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.
In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.
So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.
We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*
We know it. What is going to be done about it?
*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.
If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.
RINOs an Endangered Species? If Only!
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the RINOs stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2024 or 2026 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.
Martin Luther King
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice
President Donald Trump, 20 January 2017 (The “Dark” Inauguration Speech).
[NOTE: Yes, technically this is something I should delete since it’s not January 18th any more and it is dated, but I decided to give it one more run, because some things said here don’t depend on what’s showing on the page-a-day calendar.]
….But I’ll still say something about MLK. He was a decidedly mixed individual. As are we all. But I think he, and many others of his time, did something important and unpleasant; he (and those others) forced a recognition that even after the Civil War we were being hypocritical on the subject of equality under the law. Those people who descended from those who (shall we say) involuntarily migrated to what is now the United States were still getting the shitty end of the stick in many parts of this country, as a matter of law.
He was one hundred percent correct on that.
Unfortunately his successors have turned the point full circle and want a leg up from the law, supposedly to make up for the past mistreatment, but that can only lead to an endless round of back and forth. There are some signs that MLK himself had he not been killed (he would be turning 96 this year were he still alive), would have been right alongside the race baiters (which include some who were with him), other signs that he wouldn’t have.
But just as Thomas Jefferson penned these words, in spite of owning slaves, the words that eventually shamed us into abolishing the “peculiar institution”:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…
I’ll go with what Martin Luther King said…not all that far from where the Inauguration will take place:
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Emphasis mine. Judge people by the content of their character.
That is as it should be.
I see that at Trump rallies. His words about opening hearts to patriotism were true.
I see nothing but reverse racism on the Left. To them the world is defined by what one group does to another, some group must be on top shitting on everyone else. And it shows. There’s a false dichotomy in their thinking. Either white shits on black, or black shits on white. The way to deal with this false dichotomy, though, is not to gin up a third “group” to make it a trichotomy, or a fourth group to make it, what, a tetrachotomy? quadrichotomy? Is either of those actually a word? Gee maybe we can have a different group on top every week of the year at least until some jackass makes up a 53rd group! (Let’s leave aside the one or two day remainder you get from dividing 365(or 6) by 7. These are leftists studying critical race theory, not mathematicians.)
How about we do something different? How about we work towards a system where the law shits on NO ONE except those who violate the rights of others?

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.
Gold went up bigly, including on Friday. Silver was doing very well but dropped 29 cents on Friday. Nevertheless it too is up this week, enough to pull the Gold:Silver ratio down a bit So silver might finally be waking up.
And of course the FRNSI is up, and is now threatening the 150 mark.
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
The Final Experiment
Jeran, formerly one of the biggest figures in the Flat Earth movement, is now talking against it.
His favorite bit of evidence that there is indeed curvature is filming SpaceX launches from a great distance, and noting that the rocket ascent is not visible until well over a minute after launch. (He also captures a live feed from the launch facility, so he knows when the launch actually happened.) He’ll then continue filming for at least that long again, measure how far the rocket is above the horizon, and state that it must have been that far below the horizon at launch. At least that was what he was saying the last time I checked in on his channel (he has a livestream every Friday evening).
The problem is that’s not quite right. This is a good piece of evidence for earth curvature, but he’s overstating the effect. He is (or was) making a mistaken assumption. He’s failing to account for the fact that the rocket is accelerating.
If something starts accelerating at a constant rate from a stationary state, in the first interval, call it t, it will cover a certain distance. In the following interval of the same length, from t to 2t, it will cover three times the distance it covered in the first interval, not the same distance as Jeran is (or was) assuming.
The general formula for where an object will be at time t under constant acceleration is (assuming one dimensional motion, like on a railroad track):
d = 1/2 at2 + vit + di
The vi and di are the initial speed and position.
Let’s say it’s not accelerating at all, but is moving at (say) 30 m/s at the initial time, and started 10 meters away from wherever your reference zero is. That formula becomes:
d = 30t + 10.
So after one second, you’re 40 meters from the start, after two seconds, you’re 70 meters from the start, and so on. Makes sense.
In the case of the rocket, it’s going straight up at least initially, and is stationary, initially. Measuring altitude from the launch pad makes your initial position zero also, and so you have:
d = 1/2 at2
We don’t know a, but we’re assuming (for now) that it does not change.
We also will just measure t in “intervals”
So after one interval:
d = 1/2 at2 d = 1/2 a(1)2 d = 1/2 a
After two intervals:
d = 1/2 at2 d = 1/2 a(2)2 d = 1/2 ax4 d = 2 a
Note that the second distance is four times as great as the first (and includes that first distance), so during the second interval it traveled 3 times further than it did in the first interval.
I tried to find Jeran’s email address to point this out, but you have to subscribe to his channel to be able to see it.
It’s possibly even more skewed than this, though, because it’s quite possible that the rocket’s acceleration is itself increasing. It has a particular thrust, but is becoming lighter as it burns fuel. The same force acting on a decreasing mass will cause an increasing acceleration. I have no idea whether SpaceX is throttling the rocket back or not to counter this; but these are unmanned launches so there’s no particular reason to do so, unless there’s some reason introduced by the rocket being in the atmosphere in the early phases of the launch.
The Flerfer response to this demo by Jeran is to insist that there must be a cloudbank between him and the launches, blocking his view for the first part of the trajectory. If so this is an amazingly consistent cloudbank that only (and always) appears for night launches.
Some Go-Backs
I’ve been “researching” a bit. (I put “research” in quotes because I’m watching YouTube videos.) And I’ve learned something that slightly changes what I said last week.
Zircon crystals apparently melt at a staggering 2500 C. I knew that they had a high melting point but this is insane.
A zircon crystal, once formed, is unlikely to be melted again. As such even when found in (say) a granite which formed at a mere 1000 C or so, it’s probably a left over zircon, just like it would be if it were found in a sedimentary rock. It’s what they call a xenolith.
Thus when trying to date an igneous rock, you generally don’t want to use the zircons, which means you will not want to do uranium-lead dating, at least not in the way I described. Geologists know this, by the way, so they don’t do this unless they actually want to date the zircon crystal itself (which they wanted to do for those rocks from the Jack Hills, as well as similar formations elsewhere around the world).
This does not deter creationists from doing it though, submitting zircons as well as other bits of the same rock. They then point to the difference of ages that (predictably) results and complain that radioisotopic dating doesn’t work.
It works fine if used properly; this is sabotage.
Bonus
Two (long!) videos on Andrew Snelling, Answers in Genesis’s pet lying bastard of a geologist. They are done by someone working under the nom de video (if that’s a term) Dapper Dinosaur. Evidently he wishes to remain anonymous. I can understand that. Both are videos where he is reacting to talks given by Snelling. The first from three years ago
Probably the biggest single whopper here (though he does it multiple times) is talking about chalk beds and limestone as flood deposits. Nope, they only form in calm waters (never under flood conditions) and much too slowly, like a thousand years per centimeter, even under ideal conditions. Dapper Dinosaur says, near the end (1:50:25), “Let’s be clear here. This talk alone would be enough to get Andrew Snelling expelled from any academic institution of any repute. Or, if he had tenure, to ensure that he was never taken seriously again. And to be fair, no scientists do take him seriously. Just Young Earth larpers.”
A newer one, from three months ago. In both cases Dapper Dinosaur took a number of shorter videos had done and combined them.
I’ve yet to find a single “professional” young earth creationist who did not, on closer inspection, turn out to be a liar or at best a specialist in some other topic who might just not know what he’s talking about with whatever topic he happens to be discussing right now.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information regarding Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s post speaks about the disaster of COVID-19 (the COVID-1 p9 virus itself, and the COVID-19 “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to the memory of all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of these lab-created bioweapons.
There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are found here. NOTE: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of my knowledge and belief, there is none. Also: If readers wish to post anything in the discussion thread for today’s offering that is AI-generated, they must cite their source.
Today’s post is a COVID-19 Memoir, with this post as the inspiration: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2025/03/17/a-covid-contrarian-speaks-out-about-all-she-has-lost/, a guest post by Alex Berenson. This post describes the memoir statement of Jennifer Sey, who lost her job, her friends, family ties, and more, because she refused to bow to the demands of the organized psy-op that was the “command and control method” used over literally billions of human beings during the COVID-19 pandemic — and which organized psy-op is still being used today. Readers are welcome to post their own COVID-19 memoirs on today’s discussion thread, leaving out or referring to in an “oblique” manner, those details they wish to keep private.
Others on the board here have shared their COVID-19 Memoirs. Some of these postings have detailed dealing with an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself. Other postings have described the experiences of watching “vaccinated” family or friends becoming ill from the negative effects of the “vaccines” that they had taken. Still others have described their own issues after being “shed upon” by COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons. Sadly, our own Deplorable Patriot (Susie Sampson) passed away from the combined effects of the COVID-19 infection she very likely caught in November 2024 from a recently COVID-19-“boosted” choir member.
Yours Truly now adds her own COVID-19 Memoir. It began in December 2019, with the first media reports of a “mystery illness” that was infecting and killing people in Communist China, which “mystery illness” then making its way to the United States. This “illness” was variously called “Wuhan coronavirus”, “coronavirus”, or “novel coronavirus” (among other names), finally settling on the name “COVID-19” or “SARS-CoV-2” in early 2020. The issue became more “personal” in mid-February 2020, when Yours Truly contracted an illness that had all the hallmarks of an infection by the COVID-19 virus itself, most likely via exposure either at a restaurant in Chapel Hill, or at a local discount store in Durham. One was very sick for almost a month, subsisting on hot tea with honey and lemon, vitamins, scrambled eggs and toast, Tylenol(R), DayQuil(R), and guaifenesin cough syrup; after that, it was another month before the fatigue began to lift, the coughing to lessen and stop, and taste and smell to fully return. I was literally sequestered to my house for over six weeks. At the same time that I was sick, I was also taking care of my little Yorkie, Sona, who was entering the end stage of the kidney disease that resulted in his being put to sleep in my arms in mid-August of 2020.
It was during this period that I began to research about, read about, think about, and to eventually write about, this virus. My first decision was that I would never permit the deep-nasal probe PCR “test” to be administered to me. I began to order in groceries; to wear disposable gloves whenever I had to leave the house to do absolutely necessary things like getting gasoline for the car; to change clothes and bathe after I returned from being out of the house; and so on. Amazon became my source for many items. The United States went into “lockdown” on almost all aspects of the economy, and of life in general, by mid-March of 2020. The fear was palpable.
By the summer of 2020, there was speculation regarding the development and use of COVID-19 “vaccines.” There was speculation regarding the development and use of monoclonal antibody therapy for COVID-19 virus infected persons. Persons hospitalized for COVID-19 infection were being put on Remdesivir and ventilators, killing many. Antigen tests to determine whether or not a person had been infected with the COVID-19 virus were being used by September 2020. Then, the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” were granted their initial Emergency Use Authorizations for use in the United States on 11 December 2020. Starting in January 2021, all of the members of my family, with the exception of Yours Truly, were getting COVID-19 “vaccinated”; in many cases, this was “mandated” or “required” in order for them to keep their jobs, for travel, and so on. In the spring of 2021, I began to shift much of my focus to researching about the COVID-19 “vaccines” — and came to the conclusion that a “vaccine” that had been developed and put on the market as quickly as these products were, was likely not a good thing. I made a decision to never allow myself to be COVID-19 “vaccinated.” This was the beginning of strained relationships with “vaccinated” family and friends, once Yours Truly informed them that these “vaccines” were not for her. I contacted a physician through AFLDS (America’s Frontline Doctors), and started taking prescribed Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc. Afterwards, I contacted the then-FLCCC Alliance (now the Independent Medical Alliance) and began taking prescribed Ivermectin. Yours Truly is still not COVID-19 “vaccinated.”
It is now, in March 2025, five years from the first COVID-19 “lockdowns.” Yours Truly lost a cousin in September 2023 due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” he had taken. Yours Truly lost her brother in October 2024 due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” he had taken. Yours Truly is now concerned about the other “vaccinated” members of her family. She had tried to warn some of them, based on my research, of the dangers and uncertainties of these bioweapon toxin injections, but was met with “We follow the science” or “I trust my doctor.” I hope the ongoing strained relationships between certain “vaccinated” family members and Yours Truly will heal. I have made certain decisions regarding how I interact with people and situations outside the family circle when encountering them in public places.
Life as it was before November 2019 will never be the same. COVID-19 is the perfect example of an “equal-opportunity” bioweapon. The COVID-19 virus itself, if a person is infected with it, can have lingering, or even permanent, issues that remain after the person recovers. The COVID-19 “vaccines”, since they contain the virus, plus “enhancements” such as N1-Methylpseudouridine, permanently and negatively affect “vaccinated” persons throughout the body, including the brain. “Long COVID”, resulting either from an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or from being COVID-19 “vaccinated”, is now recognized medical condition. There is also the emerging issue of COVID-19 “vaccine shedding” from “vaccinated” persons onto other persons, including onto the non-“vaccinated.”
Those adults who are not COVID-19 “vaccinated” (the percentage of people in this category is anywhere between 15% – 25% of the entire population of the Earth) have, in a sense, “defeated COVID-19” — even if they contracted an infection of the virus and recovered. This has nothing to do with the “Joe X is not COVID-19 “vaccinated”, so he is a pureblood” depiction; or with the “Joe X is not COVID-19 “vaccinated”, so he is somehow morally superior to those who are “vaccinated”” allegation — this has everything to do with personal decision making. Those adults who are not COVID-19 “vaccinated” have resisted the gaslighting, the “mandates” and the “recommendations” to get COVID-19 “vaccinated”; the urging from “vaccinated” family and friends; the loss of employment, of schooling, of opportunities, of relationships. They have grieved and mourned for “vaccinated” family members and/or friends who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had taken. They have, in many instances, done their own research into the “vaccines” and vowed never to take them. They have, in many instances, decided to never allow their children to be COVID-19 “vaccinated.” They have learned that “safe and effective”, as applied to these bioweapon toxin injections, was — and is — a lie. They are stronger than they knew. They are stronger than they know. They will need this strength in the future.
Yours Truly believes that, in order for society to heal from the COVID-19 disaster, to have trust in the medical profession, to have trust in the government, the perpetrators of the COVID-19 disaster must be brought to justice; and that the unsafe, ineffective, dangerous and deadly COVID-19 “vaccines” must be withdrawn from the market worldwide. The “establishment medicine” entities (the American Medical Association; the American Academy of Pediatrics; the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; and many more); the government agencies (the CDC; the FDA; the Department of Health and Human Services; and many more) — who are still “recommending” these injectables, who still have them on the Immunization Schedules — must stop these activities. All mRNA-based “vaccine” funding and development must be stopped until the entire issue of the safety and efficiency of these injectables is thoroughly investigated and analyzed. Medical freedom of choice must be returned to the general public — for example, Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine must be made readily available at a low cost. Physicians must be permitted to prescribe these safe and effective prophylactic / treatment drugs for COVID-19 infection without fear of being “disciplined” or “restricted” by the their state medical licensing board; let along having their License to Practice Medicine revoked. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients mustbe allowed freedom of choice to be treated inpatient with Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D, and other effective treatments that are, even now, being denied because the FDA does not “authorize” or “approve” them.
There are many persons who must be held accountable for their actions during the entire COVID-19 disaster. Among them:The first person, in Yours Truly’s opinion, who must be held accountable for his actions during the entire COVID-19 disaster is Dr. Anthony Fauci. Now in “retirement”, he commands $100,000 per “motivational talk”, like the one he is scheduled to give on 14 April in Sarasota, Florida. Please see: https://rescue.substack.com/p/serious-questions-for-fauci, by Matt Walsh, 23 March 2025.
The next two persons, in Yours Truly’s opinion, who must be held accountable for their actions during the entire COVID-19 disaster are: Dr. Francis Collins (Dr. Fauci’s superior at the NIH; now retired); and, Peter Daszak, PhD, of EcoHealth Alliance (funneling Gain-of-Function funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, among other research facilities, for the lab-creation of the COVID-19 virus, and coordinating the “official” government communications to the media; Dr. Daszak has recently been fired from EcoHealth Alliance. )

2024 Presidential Election Map by County. (an uncertain credit) Let us Never Forget: our VOTES gave the Trump Administration a Mandate to FIX IT ALL.
Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1
We got our miracle. America is back.
Let us dedicate ourselves to the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of our beautiful nation.
God will guide us. Prayers & thanks to God for President Donald J. Trump.
National Security!
It’s “their” very favorite playbook. They want to some how, some way, create another narrative that makes everything related to president, Donald J. Trump, into a “National Security Crisis!”
Well, do you know what a real national security crisis looks like? It looks like the election systems in all 50 states having a total loss of control.
“We identified, inside of the state’s official records about the 2022 and the 2020 elections, millions and millions of examples of what appear to be felony misconduct, according to the United States Department of Justice’s guidelines for prosecution of election offenses.” — Marly Hornick, in this interview
While we may need an Executive Order to act as a stop-gap for the 2026 Elections–which are nearly on top of us at this point–the real work of securing our elections must be done at the state level. And it appears state officials will only be motivated when they see that Federal prosecutions could be in their near future.
I very much appreciate that the E.O. deals with an issue found in some voting systems. A human readable ballot and a true paper trail are essential for a secure elections system.
“Above all, elections much be honest and worthy of the public trust. That requires voting methods that produce a voter-verifiable paper record allowing voters to efficiently check their votes to protect against fraud or mistake. Election-integrity standards much be modified accordingly.”
“… voting systems should not use a ballot in which a vote is contained within a barcode or quick-response code in the vote counting process … [with an exception for accommodating disabilities] … and should provide a voter-verifiable paper record to prevent fraud or mistake.”
The “follow the money” types amongst us are likely to be happy to see the E.O. provide direction for an audit of all Help America Vote Act (HAVA) fund expenditures.
“Following an audit of Help America Vote Act fund expenditures conducted pursuant to 52 U.S.C. 21142, the Election Assistance Commission shall report any discrepancies or issues with an audited State’s certifications of compliance with Federal law to the Department of Justice for appropriate enforcement action.”
And for those of us who were concerned with the word “voluntary” in the Election Assistance Commission’s guidelines, it looks like there might be some teeth in the E.O. here:
“The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, consistent with applicable law, shall in considering the provision of funding for State or local election offices or administrators through the Homeland Security Grant Programs, 6 U.S.C. 603 et seq., heavily prioritize compliance with the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 developed by the Election Assistance Commission and completion of testing through the Voting System Test Labs accreditation process.”
That’s really all nice and everything, but is this going to be another here-today-gone-tomorrow news event? Well, rescinding all previous certifications of voting equipment based on prior standards sounds good.
“Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to review and, if appropriate, re-certify voting systems under the new standards established under subsection (b)(i) of this section, and to rescind all previous certifications of voting equipment based on prior standards.”
There are also important sections on not counting votes cast after election day (duh!), validating that voters are citizens, preventing foreign interference and prosecuting election crimes.
The section on improving the security of voting systems reminds us that election infrastructure is designated as “Critical Infrastructure.” Note that non-citizens are not to be involved in the administration of any Federal Election. I wonder how many voting system contractors that you see at the local elections office are non-citizens. Do they even check?
The E.O. goes on to task Homeland Security with assessing the security of electronic elections systems and report on what they find. I suspect this doesn’t go far enough. If there are non-electronic procedures that are not subject to review for Federal Elections that allow for fraud, that should be addressed to. Maybe it’s in existing law and I missed it.
“Sec. 6. Improving Security of Voting Systems. To improve the security of all voting equipment and systems used to cast ballots, tabulate votes, and report results:
“(a) The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate actions to the extent permitted by 42 U.S.C. 5195c and all other applicable law, so long as the Department of Homeland Security maintains the designation of election infrastructure as critical infrastructure, as defined by 42 U.S.C. 5195c(e), to prevent all non-citizens from being involved in the administration of any Federal election, including by accessing election equipment, ballots, or any other relevant materials used in the conduct of any Federal election.
“(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in coordination with the Election Assistance Commission and to the maximum extent possible, review and report on the security of all electronic systems used in the voter registration and voting process. The Secretary of Homeland Security, as the head of the designated Sector Risk Management Agency under 6 U.S.C. 652a, in coordination with the Election Assistance Commission, shall assess the security of all such systems to the extent they are connected to, or integrated into, the Internet and report on the risk of such systems being compromised through malicious software and unauthorized intrusions into the system.”
As the introductory text reminds us:
Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election. Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error.
We have been told that our elections systems are insecure. But what does that really mean? Three weeks ago, Marly Hornik of United Sovereign Americans gave a powerful 15 minute speech on the Stern American podcast, explaining how truly bad America’s situation has become.
My name is Marly Hornick, founder of the national election validity Organization United Sovereign Americans, along with cyber and election security subject matter expert Harry Haury. We came here to warn our fellow Americans that we have a constitutional and legal disaster on our hands.
The current election process nationwide is an uncontrolled, unmonitored catastrophe that is false returns. The last bastion of freedom on earth is at risk of being destroyed as early as 2026.
Under President Trump’s decisive leadership, we see the proof that our own government has been selling out our kids’ future by stealing trillions of dollars per year from the American people and making us pay for their often twisted agenda.
Nowhere have officials betrayed us as badly as in our elections nationwide. USA is the first organization to measure election misconduct as defined under criminal law, to deeply study Supreme Court precedent and document the scale of defined election fraud nationwide.
After years of law enforcement meetings, official reports, legislative hearings, criminal referrals, and staggering trial-ready evidence, massive election fraud is still being illegally certified as accurate. Asking whether election officials are bad people is irrelevant. Their job is to prevent fraud, and they are legally required to prove it to us. That’s what we pay them for.
Twenty-one chief election officials have been fully briefed, nine have been sued in federal court, and every last one has proven disloyal to the sovereign they serve, the American people, and to the contract we made with our government, the United States Constitution.
USA has tracked tens of millions of individual felonies. We were the first to discover and document the algorithms and central vote manipulation. We filed our detailed data with the states, the FBI, Homeland Security, and the DOJ under the previous administration, and filed nine federal lawsuits demanding that election commissions follow the law.
And what did we prove? Every last federalized state election official believes that they are the sovereign, that they are the one who chooses our representatives. Every last one, they are perfectly content to continue violating our Constitution down to the root. It’s time to make it personal.
This is our land, from sea to shining sea, self-dealing bureaucrats and criminals did not create it, and they cannot have it.
The top elections official of every one of our 50 states has been certifying elections that are run using equipment and processes that are deeply compromised. The courts, to this point, have refused to touch it. Pray.
Our Turn.
We can make a difference. And we must make a difference.
May God bless and guide you as you pray and take action for our nation.
Twitterati, etc.
May I recommend to you @PressSec. Karoline Leavitt is an Assistant to the President and the White House Press Secretary. She is always in top form, even on the day after DS tries to create another “National Security Crisis!” narrative on the thinnest of pretexts.
Prayer.
God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home.
I said when I saw this YouTube on Monday, that I would explain why I agree with Colonel Towner about Mike Benz.
BOMBSHELL: Obama’s Smith-Mundt Move LEGALIZED PROPAGANDA in U.S.! With TAXPAYER MONEY!
In 1948, Congress authorized taxpayer funds to manipulate the news cycle overseas. However, the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 established a “Chinese wall” between the propaganda spread overseas to help ensure various powers were elected and what was allowed to be spread here at home. In 2012, Obama “modernized” the act, resulting in the ability to use USAID funds and other vehicles to influence the news cycle here at home. Trish Regan reports that this was the beginning of the end and gave the “establishment” an unreasonable amount of power.
Trish Regan shows clips of Mike Benz. If you look at what is said through Gladio Glasses, you can see why Colonel Towner does not like Benz.
Limited Hangout is a CIA information control tool, it involves the fake ‘disclosure’ of some secret, inside of a limited view; 👉such that related things would not be questioned. The Agency likes to create the ‘opposition’ which is in fact controlled opposition – an early lesson learned. The easiest way to infiltrate a counter insurgency, is to start one from scratch (causality).
It is not that he does not bring good information, it is that the information does not add all that much to what we already know. He gives us great details but nothing really new.
For me the big tell is he does not connect the ‘Arab Spring’ to Britain and the Fabian Society. (I cover that in detail towards the end of this article.)
The Communism vs ‘Democracy’ fight was ALWAYS a manufactured fight — Hegelian Dialectic – The No. 1 Tool of the Cabal. Up until the Soviet Union Collapsed the Communists were the designated ‘Boogeyman’ The ‘communism’ label was used to justify the overthrow of any government that did not allow the Transnational Corporations to come in an rape their country.
This painting by Diego Rivera, “Gloriosa Victoria,” tells the story of the 1954 overthrow of the democratically-elected Jacobo Arbenz government. Coup Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas greets secretary of state John Foster Dulles, who holds a bomb with the face of Eisenhower, surrounded by people who were murdered in the coup. To his left is U.S. ambassador John Peurifoy with military officers and CIA director Allen W. Dulles whispering in his brother’s ear. On the right, the archbishop of Guatemala, Mariano Rossell Arellano, blesses the act, while Guatemalans protest. — Guatemala, United Fruit & the CIA
However we can not leave out the British connection. Their goal was to advance ‘The Third Way’ and a one-world ANGLO OLIGARCHY RULED government. The USA provides cannon fodder and money, while NATO & the Brits provide the top down direction. Note it is the BRITS that have continually stalled any peace between Russia and Ukraine.
….Anthony Giddens, the former Director of the LSE, stands as the creator of the “Third Way”followed by both Tony Blair (who unveiled the Fabian Window at LSE in 2005) and Bill Clinton. His policy created a balance between the traditional welfare state and the belief in total free market economics.This policy is being put into effect by governments all across the world as free market economies continue to deal with wealth inequalities and bettering the welfare of the general population… 🤮
….The USA until about 1990 was a “Mixed Economy” with some “natural monopolies” under government “control” via “regulation”; and with many competitive markets. We’ve moved to more central planning and more central “regulation” (in some cases as a cover for the “planning” word that has gotten tied to Socialism… so is political to some extent). With the nationalization of GM and the bank “bailout” / “rescue” that was really more of a ‘take-under’ in some ways; we moved to a Lange Type Socialism.
At the next tier down, we have Government-dependent Oligopolies. Say you wanted to make airplanes. First off, you need that dozen lawyers to work the FAA for you. Next up, you need some friends in the Military to feed you contracts. Don’t think so? When Boeing gets a $B contract to ‘study’ or ‘develop’ and you need to design your new tech from scratch on your own money: Who do you think will win? So the government basically decides how many companies it wants, and who they will be, then funds them “to plan” with contracts. (This is NOT a hypothetical… I’ve watched them flat out announce “We’d like Lockheed and Martin to merge” or “we don’t want…” usually when one of them is ‘having issues’ and the topic is raised. Then the government casts the one vote that matters…)
And so it goes…
This is, dare I say it…. basically the same way the Fascist “Third Way” worked. (And it DOES work). FDR and Wilson both had high praise for The Third Way and you can see how they shifted America from a ‘free market’ toward “Third Way” government – corporation “cooperation” … It was this same process / tendency that Ike warned about in the “Military Industrial Complex” speech.
So we’ve moved away from straight up competition (and with good reasons… it is less profitable and more destructive in some ways and it is prone to monopoly practices) and toward that Classical Socialist end of things; with exact placement varying over time. And we called it a “Mixed Economy” at the ‘tepid’ end; as the name “fascist Third Way” got a bit tainted during W.W.II …. that tendency for Mussolini and Hitler to stir in a load of Nationalism and for the Nazis a double helping of Racism spoiled the soup for the Third Way “Socialist Lite” folks like FDR.
And the propaganda worked.
We’ve now got a “Progressive” and a “Third Way” government that IS a form of Socialism. But just don’t ever point out that it’s basically the same “Third Way” process, using what’s properly called “Corporatism”, to achieve the Socialist agenda; that was first innovated by the Fascists… After all, it doesn’t fit the propaganda paradigm “Fascists bad, WORLD Socialists good” put out by Stalin…
This connection between fascists, transnational corporations, and financiers is why I have gone into Mercantilism so deeply. Colonel Towner starts looking at history from WWII on, but the roots go back to the British Empire and the British East India Company.
I first ran across the references to who was actually financing the Bolsheviks and Hitler here: Congressman McFadden’s Speech in1934 before the attempts on his life and the final successful one resulting in his murder……
…These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. “Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country…
All the evidence for McFadden’s claim is written down in meticulous detail in books by Anthony C Sutton titled “The Wall Street Trilogy” which is a compilation of three works by Sutton.
“Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” “Wall Street and FDR” “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler”
Colonel Towner gives some of the details found in Sutton’s books. She calls theHegelian Dialectic,[Problem – Reaction — Solution,] The Strategy of Tension
Colonel Towner: Oh I can even tell you the names!, I have articles pinned. We can get into the details probably in the second show. I can give you the names of the CIA agents that were focusing on this and the DEA agent ?Anglinger? Or what ever. The first guy who was in chargeof the precursor of the DEA, he is on record saying,that every major drug bust that they did,they were never ableto get the top echelonbecause they were ALL CIA AGENTS! EVERY SINGLE ONEOF THEM. The ones who get arrested and held accountable are the low level guys. Wait til I get to the ‘War on Drugs’ (47 Min)
The second stage of all of this for me was figuring out — Well I have got who is doing it, this British Fabian — Round Table Crowd. So how did Communism and Fascism enter into the picture? You have to go back and read Antony C. Sutton‘s books “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” and “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler” and “Wall Street and FDR: The True Story of How Franklin D. Roosevelt Colluded with Corporate America” I highly recommend reading his trilogy, they are not that thick.
There is an address in NYC called 120 Broadway. It is where the Fed was, it was where FDRs first office was, the Boys Club, the Dinner Club, the Rockefeller’s office is, the Rothschilds, the banks, JP Morgan, They are ALL in this building. They orchestrate EVERYTHING out of this building. They do not have to go outside. They funded the Bolsheviks.
Trotsky lived in NYC for several years waiting for the war to end so he could plant the Bolshevik flag.… The Russian civil war in the early 1900s was actually instigated. The were generals that wanted a national referendum, a democracy. Well that was not going to be allowed. Those generals were murdered by people who came from the USA or Britain. The money for the Bolsheviks cam from 120 Broadway and London UK. London housed Lenin, NYC, housed Trotsky. Trotsky went from USA to Canada to Russia on a State Department Visa. [When Canada tried to stop him, the USA intervened -GC] Lenin left London went thru Germany, thru Finland into Russia. London & US facilitated the creation of Bolshevik “Communism.” (50 min)
They did the same thing with Nazism. When Hitler is in prison, Do you know who ‘paid’ to help him write Mein Kempf? We did! We took money from 120 Broadway. Anthony Sutton has the actual transactions because they were carried in diplomatic pouches thru the State Department to transfer the money to pay for his ‘Aide’ to write that doctrine. The Reichstadt fire was a false flag…. It was all set up to create Martial law and usher in Hitler….
I say that because it is important to understand under the Strategy of Tension, if you don’t have chaos and control, then you can not manipulate people….
This critical information about WHO is actually in control of the USA is left completely out of anything I have seen from Mike Benz.
Mike Benz was in the State Department. We now know that the State Department is deeply entangled with the CIA. Second he is pushing the Communist Boogeyman. Communism has ALWAYS been AstroTurf. Remove the funding and it dies. As Margret thatcher said:
Here are quotes from the Mike Benz interview with Tucker Carlson. He talks of the CIA, the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, The Fake News, Atlantic Council, Censorship… ALL the stuff we ALREADY KNOW. He does a very nice job of fleshing it out but he skips over the real meat. Operation Gladio, Color Revolutions orchestrated for Corporate gain and as Resource grabs. However for me the big tell is he does not connect the ‘Arab Spring’ to Britain and the Fabian Society.
This is part of a transcript from his interview with Tucker Carlson. You can go here for a link to the video and the rest of the transcript.
…We quickly discovered, through the efforts of the Defense Department, the State Department in our intelligence services, that people were using the internet to congregate on blogs and forums, and free speech was championed more than anybody by the Pentagon, the State Department, and our sort of CIA cut out NGO blob architecture 👉as a way to support dissident groups around the world in order to help them overthrow authoritarian governments, as they were sort of billed. Essentially the internet free speech allowed kind of instant regime change operations, to be able to facilitate the foreign policy establishment’s State Department agenda….
All these things were created initially as DARPA projects or as joint CIA-NSA projects, to be able to help intelligence-backed groups to overthrow governments that were causing a problem, to the Clinton administration or the Bush administration or the Obama administration. And this plan worked magically from about 1991 until about 2014, when there began to be an about face on internet freedom and its utility.
👉Now, the high watermark of the sort of internet free speech moment was the Arab Spring in 2011, 2012,👈 when you had this one by one.All of the adversary governments of the Obama administration, Egypt, Tunisia, all began to be toppled in Facebook revolutions and Twitter revolutions. And you had the State Department working very closely with the social media companies to be able to keep social media online during those periods. There was a famous phone call from Google’s Jared Cohen to Twitter to not do their scheduled maintenance so that, the preferred opposition group in Iran would be able to use Twitter, to win that election…
So it was; free speech was an instrument of statecraft from the national security state to begin with. 👉All of that architecture, all the NGOs, the relationships between the tech companies and the national security state had been long established for freedom.In 2014, after the coup in Ukraine, there was an unexpected counter coup where Crimea and the Donbas broke away and they broke away with essentially a military backstop that NATO was highly unprepared for at the time. They had one last Hail Mary chance, which was the Crimea annexation vote on, in 2014. And when the hearts and minds of the people of Crimea voted, to join the Russian Federation, that was the last straw for the concept of free speech on the internet
In the eyes of NATO as they saw it, the fundamental nature of war changed at that moment. And NATO at that point declared something that they first called the Gerasimov doctrine, which is named after this Russian military, a general, who they claimed made a speech that the fundamental nature of war has changed. You don’t need to win military skirmishes to take over Central and Eastern Europe. All you need to do is control the media and the social media ecosystem, because that’s what controls elections. And if you simply get the right administration into power, they control the military. So it’s infinitely cheaper than conducting a military war to simply conduct an organized political, influence operation over social media. And legacy media and industry had been created that spanned the Pentagon, the the British Ministry of Defense in Brussels into a organized political warfare outfit, essentially infrastructure that was created, initially stationed in Germany and in Central and Eastern Europe to create psychological buffer zones, basically to create the ability to to have the military work with the social media companies, to censor Russian propaganda, or to censor domestic right wing populist groups in Europe who were rising in political power at the time because of the migrant crisis.
So you had the systematic targeting by our State Department, by our [Inter-Service Intelligence], by the Pentagon,of groups like Germany’s AfD, the Alternative for Deutschland there, and for groups in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Now, when Brexit happened in 2016, it was [it created a] crisis moment where suddenly they didn’t have to worry just about Central and Eastern Europe anymore. It was coming westward, this idea of Russian control over hearts and minds….
Now the entire rules-based international order would collapse unless the military took control over media, because Brexit would give rise to “Frexit” in France, with Marine Le Pen to “Spexit” in in Spain with a Vox party to “Italexit” in Italy, to “Grexit” in Germany, to “Grexit” in Greece, the EU would come apart, so NATO would be killed without a single bullet being, being fired. And then not only that, now that NATO is gone, now there’s no enforcement arm for the International Monetary Fund, the IMF or the world Bank. So now the financial stakeholders who depend on the battering ram of the national security state would basically be helpless against governments around the world. So from their perspective, if the military did not begin to censor the internet, every all of the democratic institutions and infrastructure that gave rise to the. World after World War Two would collapse….
The whole push after the 2016 election and after Brexit and after a couple of other, you know, social media run elections that went the wrong way from what the State Department wanted, like the 2016 Philippines election, was to completely invert everything that we described as being the underpinnings of a democratic society in order to deal with the threat of free speech on the internet. And what they essentially said is we need to redefine democracy from being about the will of the voters to being about the sanctity of democratic institutions. And who are the democratic institutions? Oh, it’s us, you know, it’s the military, it’s NATO, it’s the IMF and the World Bank. It’s the mainstream media, who it is, the NGOs. And of course, these NGOs are largely State Department funded or IC funded. It’s essentially all of the elite establishments, that were under threat from the rise of domestic populism that declared their own consensus to be the new definition of democracy. Because if you define democracy as being the strength of democratic institutions rather than a focus on the will of the voters, then what you’re left with is essentially democracy is just the consensus building architecture within the democratic institutions themselves….
As someone in the State Department, I find it hard to believe he is not aware of NATO and the CIA’s connection to Operation Gladio.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Back to my original article. I am sorry for the typos, misspelling and such. I did not have time to edit my first draft. I am hoping that you take the time to read these two articles or watch the video because it explains so much of the current situation.
Last week I left off with this:
[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
Colonel: Operation Northwood was created, & drafted by CIA, Allen Dulles and General Lyman Lemnitzer chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It was an Operation Gladio Event. In it they proposed, to McNamara [secretary of defense] and JFK, — they wanted Cuba back so bad – that Operation Northwood featured all of the major US cities having terror attacks by Stay-behind trained people. The people would be dressed as Cuban Nationalists. They would basically say we had been invaded by Cuba, communism was taking over however the entire time it would be people dressed as Cubans. They were going to kill tens of thousands of Americans to instill fear, so they could do a ground invasion of Cuba.
JFK says absolutely not, we are not doing this. Allen Dulles, just before this, had been fired. Lyman Lemnitzer, in what should have been a demotion and a resignation, JFK thought, was reassigned to NATO.
Colonel: JFK had never been told about Operation Gladio. He had never been told that a sub unit of NATO called ACC[Allied Clandestine Committee – GC], was the planning cell for all Operation Gladio events. Unknowingly JFK put Lemnitzer in charge of Operation Gladio. Why that is important is because…
[END VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
I want to make sure everyone sees this part.
[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
1:24:50 — Colonel: I want to make one last point.
When we talked about the refugee situation, one of the casualties of that is Human Trafficking and Child Trafficking. If anyone wants to do any research on tying Gladio to that particular topic? I suggest you start in Belgium. Belgium not only has a very robust operation Gladio network, but I want to give you the name of Marc Dutroux. That guy set-up the most hideous child Trafficking Network, using refugees, to blackmail all of the foreign dignitaries, once NATO moved to Belgium. It is all reported.
I also want [to say] in closing, that as you explore this topic, you will see, and I saw it personally when I lived in Italy. In one bomb attack they killed five judges. Initially they killed every investigative reporter. — In Turkey and in Italy and Portugal, in Germany, — If you wrote about Operation Gladio before it broke big in Italy? YOU DIE! If you were part of government and investigated it? YOU DIE. If you try to litigate as a judge. YOU DIE!
There has been so much death and destruction related to Operation Gladio and the exposure of it, that it’s breathtaking. I have never seen anything like it. The depravity is best illustrated when you look at Belgium’s Operation Gladio Network because it is so disgusting.
You have to have all those facets. You have to have Money Laundering. You have to have the Drug [Trafficking.] You have to have the war… And it is all used to feed a global fascist takeover. By us focusing on the WEF and other low hanging fruit you miss the big picture and that is on purpose.
— Brady: The decisions made in the smoke filled rooms in London and NYC, and a little bit in DC as well as a few other major European capitols. These are the names we do not get to know very often. The people that sit on the Council on Foreign Relations are not necessarily the people that sit at the head of the table. They are NOT the Puppet Masters. We know who some of the names are but I do not think we will know all of them. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Shadow State, this is who rules the world.

This is the information that Mike Benz is diverting attention from in my opinion.
I am starting from where I left off last week.
[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
55:40 – 57:30 — Colonel: Unknowingly JFK put Lemnitzer in charge of Operation Gladio. Why that is important is because Operation Gladio, NATO was first stood-up in Paris France. NATO was not in Belgium.
Charles de Gaulle, the president of France, They tried to assassinate him over 20 times.
He had disbanded an organization called OAS, kinda a secret service operators, but they were actually bad people. It had been set-up before de Gaulle took over. He disbands that at the same time he and JFK are talking about giving Algeria, an African county, their freedom back.
BECAUSE OPERATION GLADIO IS TO CREATE THIS FASCIST ONE WORLD ORDER, NEITHER DEGAULLE NOR JFK ARE ALLOWED TO GIVE ALGERIA THEIR FREEDOM. AFRICA IS GOING TO BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT A SLAVE COLONY.
There is nobody allowed to be free in all of Africa according to their plan.
So the minute de Gaulle, started saying he wanted the French out of Algeria and he wanted to give Algeria their freedom, they started trying to kill them.
57:30 — Brady: This is the OAS…
57:30 – 58:30 — Colonel: Here is the interesting tie to Operation Gladio and JFK. de Gaulle kicks NATO out. He withdraws French forces from NATO. France does not rejoin NATO until 2009.
Within a year, JFK is dead. The day JFK gets assassinated, the Dallas police picks-up a known OAS agent, and escorts him without questioning him, to the border and dumps him off in Mexico. TWO OF THEM. So the same people known to be trying to kill de Gaulle were in Dallas on the same day that JFK gets murdered.
58:30 – 59:00– Brady: I absolutely agree with what you are saying. I have a couple of quotes to add. There was a phone call between de Gaulle and JFK where JFK says, No I had nothing to do with the coup attempt but I can’t speak for my CIA. And then there is a quote from de Gaulle when he came home from JFK’s funeral, He flat out said on French TV, Kennedy was killed by the same security forces that went after me.
59:00 — Colonel: Correct.
— Brady: If anyone has seen The Day of The Jackal, that is what it is all about.
59:05 – 1:01:10 — Colonel: What is interesting about that, is when you go back and start reading things? You go, Oh my God, that is Operation Gladio….
It is not to say everything is, but Operation Gladio explains so much of our history that has been at odds with logic, because you could not see that silent hand in it. They seem to be disconnected but are all somehow tied together.
Operation Gladio is the backbone that ties them all together. We are just talking about history, we are not talking about what [is] going on yet.
…. I was stationed in Italy in 1990. I got off an airplane on August 2nd. I remember that date because when I got off, an international airplane at the international airport in Rome Italy, there were about five Carabinieris with AK-47s to every one passenger in that terminal. I am looking around and going, what in Hell have I done? I’m thinking Italy is a European country. I have seen all the pictures and I am thinking, Holy crap, are we at war? What happen during those 6 hours I was on a plane.
What happened was Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait while I was asleep on the plane. So I get off the plane in Rome, and they are on high alert. For the people who do not know, there is a lot of speculation that the ambassador who was in charge of Iraq, April Glaspie gave the go ahead to Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait by basically saying, Oh yeah, If you do that? You know that old squabble you have had over those oil wells down there? We are not going to do anything to you. So what does Saddam Hussein do? He invades.
[END VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
SIDE NOTE from Christian Science Monitor May 27, 1999
….Eight days before his Aug. 2, 1990, invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein met with April Glaspie, then America’s ambassador to Iraq. It was the last high-level contact between the two countries before Iraq went to war.
From a translation of Iraq’s transcript of the meeting, released that September, press and pundits concluded that Ms. Glaspie had (in effect) given Saddam a green light to invade.
“We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts,” the transcript reports Glaspie saying, “such as your dispute with Kuwait. 👉Secretary [of State James] Baker🤔 has directed me to emphasize the instruction… that Kuwait is not associated with America.”
….She said she was the victim of “deliberate deception on a major scale,” and denounced the Iraqi transcript as “a fabrication” that distorted her position, though it contained “a great deal” that was accurate.
The veteran diplomat awaited her next assignment, later taking a low-profile job at the United Nations….
Glaspie is now US consul general in Cape Town, South Africa.
JAMES BAKER???? South Africa??? Is this woman another Victoria Nuland?
[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
1:01:10 – 1:01:45 — Colonel: So let me tell you about the timing. I am reading through Operation Gladio, and I find out, on the second of August, 1990, there was a huge exposure in Italy about Operation Gladio. What is the best way to bury, exposure? A WAR!
So one week before that they had discovered the one thousand list ofP2 [or Propaganda Due]
…But one conspiracy, Masonic in origin, was catapulted into the sunshine one day in March of 1981 when the Italian police searched the home of Worshipful Master Licio Gelli and found a list containing the names of some of Italy’s most prominent officials, including that of Silvio Berlusconi, a man who would become Premier of Italy and a personal friend of George W. Bush.
Founded in 1877, P2 or Propaganda Due was an irregular lodge formed as part of the Grand Orient of Italy. It had few members until Licio Gelli came to power and drastically expanded its membership within one year to over a thousand. Gelli was a former fascist, having been a “black shirt” in Mussolini’s government, and served as a liaison between Mussolini’s government and the Third Reich.
Essentially setting the P2 Lodge up as a shadow government for Italy along fascist lines in the 60’s and 70’s, Gelli’s Lodge included four Cabinet Ministers, all three heads of Italy’s intelligence organizations, forty eight members of parliament, hundreds of military officers, and the cream of the crop of Italy’s industrialists, bankers and diplomats. In addition, he developed high level contacts outside of Italy as well, most notably meeting with Alexander Haig, and contacts with Henry Kissinger and the CIA…. The most notable of the group’s known activities involved the Vatican at very high levels.
Roberto Calvi, nicknamed “God’s Banker”, headed the doomed Banco Ambrosiano that was investigated in 1981 of breaking the law when a whopping $27 million had left Italy in violation of currency transfer laws. Also accused of laundering money for the Mafia, [Remember the CIA/NATO had taken over the Mafia in order to divert the drug money into funding Operation Gladio. — GC] the Banco Ambrosiano collapsed into bankruptcy in 1982.
Calvi had clear connections with Licio Gelli, which led to the discovery of P2 and its infamous list of members. Very heavily invested in Banco Ambrosiano was the Vatican Bank, then headed by Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, who in an attempt to increase the finances of the Holy See, entangled himself with Calvi and his illicit activities – and presumably those of the Lodge – ultimately fleeing Italy to avoid prosecution to Sun City, Arizona where he died in 2006 under the protection of his Vatican passport….
[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]
1:01:45 – 1:02:15 — Colonel:They had discovered that the Vatican had been money laundering for Operation Gladio to the tune of multiple billions of dollars. The Archbishop of Chicago had been brought in to be put in charge of the Vatican bank. And did you know, THE VATICAN BANK HAS ONLY BEEN AROUND SINCE 1942? And did I mention that 1942 is when they set-up the Gladio Operation in Germany.
1:02:15 – 1:02:30 — Brady: And it is no coincidence that the invasion in 1990, came right on the heels of the Iran-Contra investigations which is also a CIA operation.
1:02:30 – — Colonel: The next 90 to 120 days that the exposure is happening in Italy, and then it cascades to all over Europe because Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti isn’t going to take the heat alone.
In October, these people are so tone deaf, that the ACC [Allied Clandestine Committee – GC], part of NATO that has quarterly meetings of Operation Gladio continued to have meetings! They had a meeting in October of 1990 as the exposure is coming out. So in November as more exposure happens, as a result of an investigation into Italy’s Operation Gladio units, All of the European presidents and prime ministers e are saying ‘I KNOW NOTHING!’ Andreotti was so pissed off he got on Italy’s national TV because he was not going to go down alone. He does end up in prison. He calls out every single one of the heads of the European countries, and says, if you know nothing about it, why was your guy at the NATO meeting? I know your guy was at the NATO meeting…. Implicating all of them. And that is when journalists knew to dig into all these other countries. They all had Stay-behind Units – Colonel Towner
1:04:00 – 1:04:45 — Colonel: In Italy specifically, one of the Operation Gladio events was at a bank, where like a hundred people – they basically did what they were planning to do with Operation Northwood in the USA. They would go to a bank, they would plant a bomb, it would kill one hundred people, it would wound 800 people. These were strategically done in locations where people did not support the ‘appropriate candidate’ that the West or fascists wanted to be elected. So if you were going to vote the wrong way, they would scare the hell out of you to get you to vote the right way.
1:04:45 – 1:05:00 — Brady: This absolutely does not happen in a vacuum. What else is going on geopolitically at the exact same time? The Berlin Wall came down. The dissolution of the Soviet Union. So now we basically have the reverse of what happened post WWII
1:05:00 – 1:06:00 — Colonel: Let’s finish with Argentina, because your point is dead on. I want to point out that talking about the Vatican you have Pope John Paul the First. He was Pope for 33 days. He found out about the Vatican money laundering and was going to expose it but they poisoned him and killed him. Operation Gladio.
Pope John Paul II, knew about it. He is from Poland. So the Vatican charged 10-15% usury fees for doing the money laundering to pad their own books. Some of the money the Vatican got for money laundering, you could argue was used in a good way. John Paul the II funded Solidarity in Poland to stand-up to the Soviet Union.
1:06:00 – 1:06:10 — Brady: That was Pope Pius 12 right? They embezzled over a billion dollars to Argentina but over half of that ends up in Poland for the Solidarity Movement. [Pope Pius 12 served as Pope from 2 March 1939 to 9 October 1958, during which time he led the Church through World War II. Pope John Paul II served as Pope from 16 October 1978 to 2 April 2005,– GC]
1:06:10 – 1:09:50 — Colonel: Well Pope John Paul II was the one that did it for Poland. Pope Pius 12 was before, but he was involved in Operation Gladio too.
Pope John Paul II actually starts talking to the Soviets. And one of the Operation Gladio authors with DOCUMENTATION documents messages sent by Pope John Paul II to the Soviet Union suggesting he can siphon some more money through Solidary to the Soviets to help them, because they know the Soviet Union is failing. It is in a critical state at this point, just prior to 1991. That if they wanted to use some of the money to — My words – stand up a more democratic form of government and start selling off the resources to Oligarchs that John Paul II would help with that by funneling money. So leading up to John Paul’s assassination attempt. The Fascists can not have the Soviet Union fall apart at this point because they do not have another Boogeyman right now. So they do not want it falling apart and get pissed off when they find John Paul II is trying to transition the Soviet Union out of being Communist. So they try to kill him. And they use Gladio Operators that were trained in Turkey. We have names, they were eventually arrested. This is all documented. So they get mad at John Paul II for trying to help the Soviet Union so they shoot him. He does not die but he gets the picture. He stops dealing with the Soviets but the Soviet Union falls apart anyway. — Colonel Towner
The new pope that comes in, the current pope, Pope Francis. He is the archbishop in Argentina when Operation Gladio disposes of the friendlier, less fascist president of Argentina and installs a fascist president. A president that instantly starts murdering hundreds of thousands of people. Argentina is a 95% Catholic country so if Pope Francis, as archbishop, had stood up and said stop that, the entire country would have attacked the people doing the murdering. The president would not have gotten away with it if Pope Francis had stood up. Not only did he not do that, he turned in priests that were not 100% Fascist orientated that were taken as prisoners of war. In one of the books are the statements from two who were tortured for over 6 months and Pope Francis never did anything to secure their release. They have a pending lawsuit in Argentina. He will never go there again because he is wanted for Crimes Against Humanity. It is the first time we have had a Pope that is under an Interpol Arrest warrant.
1:09:50 – 1:10:00 — Brady: A lot of that is new to me. It is very interesting. I did not know the Vatican connection was at that level at that point in time.
1:10:00 – 1:10:40 — Colonel: Then the invasion into Kuwait and the Iraq war creates in 1991 — now that they know they have to create a new boogeyman, because the Soviet Union and the ‘Communists’ [are essentially gone] — China at that time is not worthy of being a ‘communist threat’ at this point – They have to come up with a new boogeyman because you have to have someone to instill terror from. So what happened with the war in Iraq? – Oh, My God we have Islamic terrorism.
Just like they shift poppy fields, they shift terrorist threats.
1:10:40 – — Brady: Let’s not miss out on the fact that basically our intelligence agencies and this includes the British MI6 are the ones that created these Islamic Terror Cells in the first place… We created the radicalism.
1:11:00 — Colonel: And we have to have the war to start it so we have Desert Storm 1. Stop any discussions on disclosures on Operation Gladio. That created us a new enemy. AND it allowed us to move into the northern area of Iraq, Syria and Turkey and create new poppy fields there.
1:11:25 – 1:12:20 — Brady: It gets fun, There is a theory I have read recently. It rings pretty true but, “The really smart guys” in DC, their idea for how they are going to control the Middle East at the time. They thought they could topple the Sunni minor Hussein regime and put in a friendly Shiite majority regime. Because the heart of the Shiite religion is in Iraq they thought they could influence the Ayatollah of Iran. That absolutely backfired because Iran put their puppets into Iraq. Our think tanks in DC got it 180 degrees wrong. They actually thought they could de-stabilize Iran thru the Shiite route.
1:12:20 — Colonel: You realize that the president of Iran back in the day before we got the Shaw back, Mosaddegh, So he was a very liberal in a good sense and had modernized Iran. An Operation Gladio Unit took him out.
1:12:45 — Brady: In 1953
1:12:50 – 1:14:30 — Colonel: So this fascist entity can be traced to all of the instability in the Middle East. I just finished a book review on how they created in Egypt the Grand Mufti as head of Islam. See the fascist connection here. They create these Muftis, they created one in Jerusalem. Both of those Muftis are bought and paid for by Britain. They dress up people as who ever they want to implicate, and they create chaos in their countries.
The Mufi in Jerusalem literally took people and dressed them up. They doctored pictures and said Jewish people had burned a Mosque. And then they dressed up Arabs to go attack the Jewish people and kill them. That is how they create the terror. Eventually they did it so often to the Arabs in Palestine that Palestine were like “Oh Help us British government!” That is how they effect change. The create and manufacture terror and that is Operation Gladio It is a terror Machine.
1:14:30 – 1:15:00 — Brady: And then there is the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood by the British. It is really important to notice this post WWII international policy of America is just an extension of the British Foreign Policy of the Previous couple hundred years. It is the divide and conquer. They carved up the Middle East and Africa with the artificial borders specifically so you would have warring tribes that had nothing to do together and put them in one country thru an artificial border so your going to have that strife.
1:15:00 – 1:16:00 — Colonel: So the best example of that to me since I have lived there for six months, is Northern Iraq, Kurdistan. The Kurdish entity, and it was recognized on maps if you go back to the 1930s. You will see it on maps, not that it was a formal country with a president and congress and all that other stuff. It was a KNOWN ENTITY. It was huge. And it overlays today’s, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. They were recognized as a homogeneous entity and no one messed with them.
After WWII they created fake countries, and dissected up, Kurdistan. Kurdistan was very militant and anybody who ever messed with them got killed. They did not take crap from anybody.
1:16:00 — Brady: They still don’t.
1:16:00 — Colonel: I met in the 1990s most of their leadership. One of them asked me, after I had finished my deployment, to travel to see all the European casinos with him. I turned him down. They are very sweet, personality people but they are deadly lethal at the same time. They have been attacked by Turkey, by Syria, by Iraq and by Iran. And they do hold there own.
But Operation Gladio had Turkish Gladio units dressed up as Kurds attack border cities in Turkey and then they go and use that as a reason to go attack Kurds.
This happened and has happened all over the world.
I think this is so critical a point I am going to take time out from our chronology to say this:
When someone today, tells you that Hamas is doing something? YOU CAN’T BELIEVE THEM! Because number 1, we have probably over a hundred instances of Operation Gladio Units dressing up as somebody else telling you somebody else did something. So if you do not know these people individually and know what their history is. Just because you are shown a picture on a TV, they LIE to you, they have lied to you for over 100 years. Do not take them at their word. — Colonel Towner
1:17:30 — Brady: One of the more recent examples of that is the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine.
— Colonel: ABSOLUTELY
— Brady: Just this week, out of a European court we got admission that a large majority of the people massacred in Maidan Square were actually done by the Ukrainian Nazis forces.
1:18:00 — Colonel: Azov and Right Sector. That is the beauty of researching Operation Gladio. I can give you exact same replica that happened in Greece. Greece pulled off Operation Gladio that is the exact same Operation Gladio that was pulled of in Maidan in Ukraine. Exactly. They make up a thing. They draw everyone into the town square. They have snipers on the buildings. They focus on women and children if there are any. They create the havoc and then change the regime. They overthrew the Greek president. Once you know their operations and you read thru a book of Operation Gladio that has been documented as Operation Gladio, you will never see things the same again.
1:18:55 — Brady: They tried to do that in Egypt just in the last decade and that is what.. The Muslim Brotherhood was trying to take over Egypt and that is why el-Sisi and the Egyptian military created a military dictatorship. And they are very much opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood. And they are a very important player in this story.
1:19:15 — Colonel: You know that Nasser, who was a nationalist, they tried to kill him, because they did not want him taking the Suez canal back from Britain. Britain HATED Nasser. He is the one who re-established Egypt and kicked the Brits out. He got sabotaged, right, left. And I would argue that the 1967 war was waged to get rid of Nasser. [Remember the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty occurred on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War. — GC] Because what you are going to find out once you really get into this is, Israel is NOT the Israel we think it is.
1:19:50 — Brady: To sort of bring this home, all these operations? There are pretty good estimates that the USA since WWII has performed 73 successful color revolutions coups and probably ten that were not successful that we know about. They use the same playbook over and over again.
1:20:15 – 1:22:15 — Colonel: And that is why I call them Operation Gladio. Color Revolution to me is a made-up word. So we do not focus on what they really are…. If I can find documentation that ties a particular one, like the Maidan revolution in Ukraine to Operation Gladio, and there are documents. Then that is Operation Gladio just like the one that happened in Greece. That was Operation Gladio. And you are absolutely right, they are orchestrated out of a coordination cell housed in NATO. They encompass every single national intel organization. Mossad, CIA, MI6, B&D, The Italian secret intel apparatus, I think it is SPR…. But all those organizations, every country has one. They meet under the auspices of NATO. So lets go full circle back to Wesley Clark.
Wesley Clark was in charge of NATO when the Bosnia shit happened. ALL Operation Gladio. {Brady nods.) SO You can tie – Someone sent a video of him actually saying — and I do not know if this was before or after his NATO assignment. I tend to think it was before but I do not know. — that basically he was on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when someone showed him a document, that after the 1991 invasion of Iraq, that we were going to take over five other countries. And don’t you know we have done operations at every single one of them.
1:22:15 – — Brady: And we had the Arab Spring, just in the last decade. Make no mistake, Russia’s reaction to the Arab Spring. That is what really caused the divide. Between The Great Russian Reset that Hillary and Obama were talking about earlier in Obama’s tenure. We hadSkolkovo Innovation Center known as “Silicon Valley” in Russiawith Russia cooperating with US corporate interests that were Clinton Foundation donors. That schism happened because the Arab Spring was too close to Russia’s front Door.

SIDE NOTE ON THE ARAB SPRING:
From my 2014 notes that I updated where possible. Seems the information connecting it to the Fabian Society in Britain got scrubbed.
FABIAN SOCIETY PHAMPHLET, From Dictator to Democracy was spotted in EGYPT by journalists and suggested as a catalyst to the current unrest.
That pamphlet is available as an e-book from the Fabian Society: Fabian Essays In Socialism: www.bestebooksworld.com/ebook/16953/
And that URL now comes back as: The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL. 🤔
The Pamphlet is now attributed to the Albert Einstein Institution and all reference to the Fabian Society, except for my 2014 comment have been erased!
Sharp was appointed a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 1972. He held research appointments at Harvard University‘s Center for International Affairs from 1965.[2] In 1983 he founded Harvard’s Program on Nonviolent Sanctions in Conflict and Defense (PNS), which “continued in the spirit of its founder”[16] and in 1995 was merged with another Harvard organization. In 1983 Sharp also founded the Albert Einstein Institution, a non-profit organization devoted to studies and promotion of the use of nonviolent action in conflicts worldwide…
As journalists have sought to untangle the disparate threads that unite these uprisings, one of the most interesting revelations has been a common reference to a dusty — but still relevant — book, “From Dictatorship to Democracy.” Earlier this month, the New York Times proclaimed its author, Gene Sharp, a “shy intellectual” who had created “the playbook for revolution” — noting that his work was posted on the Muslim Brotherhood website during the Egyptian uprising, and was cited equally among Tunisians, Bosnians and Estonians in their quest for freedom. So far, it has been translated into 41 languages..
In May 1919, Lord Milner was appointed to head a mission to investigate how Egypt could be granted “self-governing institutions” while maintaining the protectorate and safeguarding British interests. The mission arrived in Egypt in December 1919 but was boycotted by the nationalists, who opposed the continuation of the protectorate.
And yes that is the SAME Milner that developed the ‘Round Tables’ like the Council on Foreign Relations. And was part of theThe Balfour Declaration of 1917
….“the acceptance by the Allied Powers and the United States of the policy of the Balfour Declaration made it clear from the beginning that Palestine would have to be treated differently”—that is, the Palestinians could not be permitted independence or democratic governance.[60]
This rejection of the Arabs’ right to self-determination was succinctly expressed by Lord Alfred Milner, who told the House of Lords on June 27, 1923, that since Palestine was sacred also to Jews and Christians, “the future of Palestine cannot possibly be left to be determined by the temporary impressions and feelings of the Arab majority in the country of the present day.”

1:22:50 — Colonel: Well I think they were using all of those things to entice Putin. I think they thought they could buy Putin. I think they thought if they Westernized Russia enough, with the Skolkovo thing and the Uranium thing. I honestly think they thought they could buy him. When they figured out they could not buy him, they turned on him.
— Brady: ThePrimakov doctrineI mentioned earlier is worth mentioning here in closing. Primakov was a very influential Russian politician in the late 1990s and for another decade or so. He had three really important students. One of them was Putin, One was their brilliant Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the third one is Sergey Glazyev, who runs the Russian central bank. These are people worth reading because they do not like the European Central Bank model what so ever. They understand that it has created a global monetary hegemony. Russia’s survival relies on getting away from the Anglo-American Rules Based Order and the global dollar hegemony.
That was written 22 years ago. Putin’s foreign policy has followed the Primakov Doctrine to a Tee ever since. There are three main pillars of the Primakov Doctrine.The first one is getting away from the dollar. Getting off the dollar based system, the international Bank of Settlements, the International Monetary Fund. [GEE, Seems Biden’s sanctions really helped there! – GC] We are seeing that accomplished.
I am an American patriot, just like you. I do not want to see the USA weakened. But we have used the dollar, not for the betterment of the world. We have used it to bully, this banking system, to bully other countries. This ties into ALL OF IT. It is not just a CIA operation. There are other branches of the government involved.
1:24:50 — Colonel: Oh Absolutely. I want to make one last point.
When we talked about the refugee situation, one of the casualties of that is Human Trafficking and Child Trafficking. If anyone wants to do any research on tying Gladio to that particular topic? I suggest you start in Belgium. Belgium not only has a very robust operation Gladio network, but I want to give you the name of Marc Dutroux. That guy set-up the most hideous Child Trafficking Network, using refugees, to blackmail all of the foreign dignitaries, once NATO moved to Belgium. It is all reported.
I also want [to say] in closing, that as you explore this topic, you will see, and I saw it personally when I lived in Italy. In one bomb attack they killed five judges. Initially they killed every investigative reporter. — In Turkey and in Italy and Portugal, in Germany, — If you wrote about Operation Gladio before it broke big in Italy? YOU DIE! If you were part of government and investigated it? YOU DIE. If you try to litigate as a judge. YOU DIE!
There has been so much death and destruction related to Operation Gladio and the exposure of it, that it’s breathtaking. I have never seen anything like it. The depravity is best illustrated when you look at Belgium’s Operation Gladio Network because it is so disgusting.
You have to have all those facets. You have to have Money Laundering. You have to have the Drug [Trafficking.] You have to have the war… And it is all used to feed a global fascist takeover. By us focusing on the WEF and other low hanging fruit you miss the big picture and that is on purpose.
— Brady: The decisions made in the smoke filled rooms in London and NYC, and a little bit in DC as well as a few other major European capitols. These are the names we do not get to know very often. The people that sit on the Council on Foreign Relations are not necessarily the people that sit at the head of the table. They are NOT the Puppet Masters. We know who some of the names are but I do not think we will know all of them. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Shadow State, this is who rules the world.
We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.

Is the Rapture in the New Testament?
Aubergine
The more I research the Bible, the more convinced I become that there is some force, entity, or group, embedded even in Christianity itself, that doesn’t want the real truths of the Bible to ever be known.
It started when I found the mistranslation, found in almost every version of the Bible, of Jesus’s clear statements of “I am.” He used the name of God, given to Moses by the Man Himself, more than once; but in translation it has been watered down to “I am He,” or “it is I.”
Here that is in Matthew 14, when Jesus walks on water:
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [c]“Be of good cheer! [d]It is I; do not be afraid.”
See that little letter ‘d’? If I click on that, it comes up with the reference “Lit. I am.”
LITERALLY I AM.
But translated as “It is I.” WHY? This appears in almost every Bible translation, with a couple of exceptions. Here is one outlier; the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition:
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.
27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I Am! Stop being afraid!
It happens again in John 18 in the Garden of Gethsemane:
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to happen to Him, went to them and asked, “Whom do you want?” 5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas, who was betraying Him, was also standing with them. 6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again He asked them, “Whom do you want?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you want Me, let these men go on their way.”
All those italicized “He’s” are added. And if you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense with them anyway. They come looking for Jesus, He says “I am He” and they all fell down on the ground? Why? They were looking for the man. BUT, they were all Jews; they knew what “I AM” meant full well, so they fell to the ground before God in terror of what they were doing when Jesus said it.
Changing “I AM” to “I am He” sure waters down down the impact, doesn’t it?
And now I come to the Rapture.
I was challenged recently about the actuality of the Rapture, and whether it appears in the Bible. If you ask Google “is the Rapture in the New Testament,” here is the answer from AI:
The idea of the rapture is described in the New Testament, but the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible.
This is essentially a lie, and I can prove it.
The concept of the rapture is introduced in the Bible in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, and Matthew 24:40-42.
Thessalonians 4
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen [a]asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who [b]sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [c]asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Matthew 24
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [a]hour your Lord is coming.
My chief point today appears in the verse from Thessalonians, and these words in bold:
7 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
Thessalonians was written in Greek. The Greek Text Analysis of “caught up” reveals ἁρπαγησόμεθα. Well, that’s Greek to me!
That Greek word is harpazo (ah, English letters), which means to snatch or take away. Elsewhere in the Bible the same word is used to describe how the Spirit caught up Philip near Gaza and brought him to Caesarea (Acts 8:39) and to describe Paul’s experience of being caught up into the third heaven (2 Cor. 12:2-4). So it would seem that the word is being used to describe people being “moved” from the Earth to “the clouds.”
A Greek to Latin translator reveals that the Greek word ἁρπαγησόμεθα in Latin is rapimur. The word “rapimur” for “caught up” in Thessalonians first appears in the Latin Vulgate Bible, translated by Jerome in 382. He was commissioned by Pope Damasus to translate the Four Gospels into Latin from the best available Greek texts, and by the time Damasus died in 384, he was mostly finished. In a letter to Pope Damasus in 383, Jerome wrote:
“You urge me to revise the old Latin version, and, as it were, to sit in judgment on the copies of the Scriptures which are now scattered throughout the whole world; and, inasmuch as they differ from one another, you would have me decide which of them agree with the Greek original. The labour is one of love, but at the same time both perilous and presumptuous; for in judging others I must be content to be judged by all; and how can I dare to change the language of the world in its hoary old age, and carry it back to the early days of its infancy?”
In the English language, we derive many words from Latin roots. The Latin word “rapimur” is the root word of…you guessed it…
RAPTURE.
The Rapture as a concept would not really be pushed to the fore until John Nelson Darby analyzed Bible translations in the 1830s. But the word that is the root of the word “Rapture” appeared in 384 in Jerome’s translation. I don’t think the “Harpazo” would have quite the same ring to it!
So there you have it. The word “Rapture” IS in the New Testament.
I find this prevarication to be as sly as ole Bill Clinton’s “depends on what the meaning of “is” is!” And both of the above examples, found across Christian belief and thought, make me wonder WHY and WHO? Because this isn’t just pagans and non-Christian sources. This is almost everywhere, even in Christianity itself.
FUN FACT
When the Gutenberg Bible was printed in the 1450’s, it was an edition of Jerome’s Latin Vulgate Bible. So the first books ever printed with moveable type contained the word we derive Rapture from.
*******IN FAIRNESS TO GROK AI*******
I thought to head over and ask Grok about the word rapture in the Bible. Lo and behold, it told the truth!
Does the word Rapture appear in the New Testament?
Yes, the word “Rapture” does appear in the New Testament, but not in the way you might think. The English word “Rapture” as commonly understood today—referring to the event where believers are caught up to meet Jesus Christ in the air—doesn’t appear explicitly in modern English translations of the Bible. However, the concept is derived from the Latin word raptura, meaning “a carrying off” or “seizure,” which comes from the verb rapere (“to snatch” or “to seize”). This Latin term was used in the Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible, to translate the Greek word harpazō (ἁρπάζω), which means “to snatch away” or “to catch up.”
The key passage associated with the Rapture is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 (New Testament), where Paul writes: “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” (ESV) In the Greek text, “caught up” is harpagēsometha (from harpazō), and in the Latin Vulgate, it’s rendered as rapiemur (from rapere). This is where the term “Rapture” originates.
So, while “Rapture” as an English word isn’t directly in the New Testament, the idea and the root word it’s based on (harpazō) are present, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. The modern use of “Rapture” to describe this event became popularized in English-speaking Christian theology much later, especially through 19th- and 20th-century dispensationalist teachings.
Does that clarify things for you? Let me know if you’d like me to dig deeper!
WELL, HANG ON THERE ABOUT GROK!
So, down in the comments, I told a story about asking Grok about the Rapture. I decided to move it up here, as it adds more to the AI part of the story:
I was telling a friend about the progression I went through in writing today’s post, and during that conversation, she and I stumbled upon a disturbing possibility. It went like this:
After my friend stated she didn’t believe there would be a Rapture, I, who have never studied it in depth, went looking for info. I first asked Google if the Rapture appeared in the New Testament. The answer I got is in the post above.
I went about doing my research, using various online sources, and my Bible (hard copy).
I wrote a draft of the above post in WordPress. It was in drafts, not scheduled for publication yet.
During the AI discussion here on the Tree, para wrote about using AI for research, and mentioned Grok. I hadn’t asked Grok anything about the subject of the Rapture in the Bible, so out of curiosity, I went and asked. I got the answer I put at the end of the post.
Now here’s the possibility my friend and I considered; Grok’s answer to my query is very close to the research I had written into drafts before I asked the question, and is completely different from the answer I got from Google AI. Did Grok “read” my research, not yet “published,” before answering?
This possibility disturbed my friend greatly, and it sure made me wonder.
