BOOMERS


I have seen the targeting of Boomers in the last few years. Sort of reminds me of MAO.

 Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution

In August 1966, the 73-year-old Mao made a speech at the Plenum of the Communist Central Committee. He called for the youth of the country to take back the revolution from the rightists. These young “Red Guards“ would do the dirty work in Mao’s Cultural Revolution, destroying the “Four Olds”—old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. [And the Elderly, who had been venerated in traditional Chinese Culture.] Even a tea-room owner like President Hu Jintao’s father could be targeted as a “capitalist.”

While the nation’s students were busily destroying ancient artwork and texts, burning temples and beating intellectuals to death, Mao managed to purge both Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping from the party’s leadership. Liu died under horrific circumstances in prison; Deng was exiled to work in a rural tractor factory, and his son was thrown from a fourth-story window and paralyzed by Red Guards.

In 1969, Mao declared the Cultural Revolution complete, although it continued through his death in 1976. Later phases were directed by Jiang Qing (Madame Mao) and her cronies, known as the “Gang of Four.”

You can’t underestimate the power of schools over children. It’s a fact of linguistics that children don’t talk like their parents but their classmates. And anyone who’s ever studied languages understands that culture and language are two expressions of the same thing.

That’s why the Marxists are so hellbent on changing the meaning of words. From calling men women to confusing illegals with citizens by glossing over the fact with the carefully chosen “people.” (The government is abducting people!) The Left is really good at tactical linguistics.

…

As a Boomer, I consider us the transition generation. A bit of background as usual.

In 1933 there was Executive Order 6102: FDR’s Gold Confiscation Program and it was codified into law in 1934 with the Gold Reserve Act.


The Myths and Reality of Gold Confiscation – LewRockwell

(Short & sweet explanation)

… in January 1934 when FDR re-defined the dollar as only 13.71 grains. It was a 41% devaluation of the dollar, which meant that it thereafter took $35 to exchange for one ounce of gold…

So clearly, notwithstanding the enduring myth, FDR really did not need the weight of gold collected from the confiscation to re-establish confidence in the dollar. Simply devaluing the dollar by a slightly greater amount would have achieved the same objective. So why did FDR confiscate gold?

In our book, The Collapse of the Dollar, John Rubino and I provided an answer, but it wasn’t an explanation that we developed. Rather, the answer came from Alan Greenspan’s 1966 essay entitled “Gold and Economic Freedom”.

“The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit…The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.”

So it seems clear to me that FDR confiscated American’s gold for the same reason Lenin confiscated it in Russia and Hitler confiscated it in Germany, namely, to get it out of the hands of the people…

CONGRESSMAN MCFADDEN

Almost immediately and ever since this commentary, he was characterized and smeared as anti-Semite. Today, there are online accounts given that demonstrate that the critics of McFadden didn’t even examine his important speeches let alone debate them and in fact use license to make things up (straw men fallacy)…

It is hard today to find anything positive said about this prescient and wise man. The critics of McFadden rarely focus on the core issues, which time has demonstrated are completely valid…

But thanks to the wonders of technology, you can conduct a word search examination of the 1932 speech. Although McFadden singled out certain Jewish-run banks like Kuhn and Loeb, a CTRL+F hunt reveals the words “Jew” or “Jewish” was never used during this entire classic speech, nor his 1931 speeches.

He did use the term “international bankers” six times in ’32; but with 89 years of additional hindsight, one would have to be in total cartoon world to deny the existence of powerful international bankers. — The Assassination of Louis McFadden

McFadden was a banker by trade. According to Wiki “He is known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories, which eventually saw him lose his seat in the House of Representatives.” Gotta paint him as Antisemitic within the first 3 sentences. However the three assassination attempts, the third being successful, do not deserve mention by Wiki. Only the smears by the press. Remember J.P. Morgan and friends bought control of the news in 1915 and the Anti-Defamation League was started in 1913 “To stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” Especially people like the Warburgs and Soros.

Why was McFadden smeared as an Antisemite BEFORE Hitler’s atrocities and then assassinated? You have to go to the Wayback Machine to find this explosive speech that helped get him killed.

Congressman McFadden Remarks in Congress, 1934

“The statement that it is necessary for the people to give their gold- the only real money- to the banks in order to protect the currency, is a statement of calculated dishonesty!

“By his unlawful usurpation of power on the night of March 5, 1933, and by his proclamation, which in my opinion was in violation of the Constitution of the United States, Roosevelt divorced the currency of the United States from gold, and the United States currency is no longer protected by gold. It is therefore sheer dishonesty to say that the people’s gold is needed to protect the currency.

“Roosevelt ordered the people to give their gold to private interests- that is, to banks, and he took control of the banks so that all the gold and gold values in them, or given into them, might be handed over to the predatory International Bankers who own and control the Fed.

“Roosevelt cast his lot with the usurers. “He agreed to save the corrupt and dishonest  at the expense of the people of the United States.

“He took advantage of the people’s confusion and weariness and spread the dragnet over the United States to capture everything of value that was left in it. He made a great haul for the International Bankers.

“The Prime Minister of England came here for money! He came here to collect cash!

“He came here with Fed Currency and other claims against the Fed which England had bought up in all parts of the world. And he has presented them for redemption in gold.

“Mr. Chairman, I am in favor of compelling the Fed to pay their own debts. I see no reason why the general public should be forced to pay the gambling debts of the International Bankers….


And shortly thereafter in 1941, having moved US gold into the hands of the Bankers and enabled currency devaluation (inflation) the USA entered World War II.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DEBT

By the end of World War I, the Government’s debt was around $25 billion. After the war in the 1920s, US government debt shrank to around $17 billion. So the bankers crashed the economy in 1933.

…The Fed is tasked to provide liquidity to America’s financial system. But from 1930 to 1933, it shockingly engaged in deflationary monetary policy that reduced the nation’s cash supply by nearly one-third, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman).

As privately-owned central bank of United States, the Fed can change the quantity of dollars in circulation — which leads to (and magnifies the) economic boom and bust cycles of U.S. economy… LINK


Under FDR US Debt went from $22 billion in 1933 to $258 million in 1945 at the end of WWII. LINK

Taking part in this war was very expensive for the U.S. Not only did the U.S. pay for its own military, it also lent money to Britain and other countries fighting the German military. [Which was not paid back] The estimated cost for the U.S. was $323 billion. To help pay for the war, the U.S. took on more debt, borrowing about $211 billion. Much of the debt was in the form of U.S. Savings Bonds, which were also called War Bonds at the time. The sale of the bonds was very successful. About 18 percent of the total U.S. debt for the war was funded by War Bonds. At the end of World War II, the Government’s debt had grown to more than $258 billion


From 1949 to 1979 the debt increased from $253 to $845 billion and from there to $11.9 TRILLION by 2009 DESPITE all the taxes we Boomers paid. As of November 10, 2025, the U.S. national debt stands at $38 trillion, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s daily report. WIKI

☕️ FOLLOWING SCIENCE ☙ Tuesday, November 11, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

….So why are conservatives like MTG and O’Reilly whinging about Democrat talking points? The answer is because Biden and the Autopen printed so much money that it tripled the amount of circulating currency.

Something like that is going to smart. There’s no avoiding it.

Inflation is inconvenient; nobody likes having to carry cash around in buckets. But it is painful only because of a three-word economic law: “Wages are sticky.” It means that, in a time of hyperinflation, people’s salaries increase much slower than consumer goods prices. Wages get stuck. Prices are the hare, and wages are the tortoise. There are many reasons why wages are so sticky. Some reasons are obvious, some are less intuitive, and some are drenched in syrup.

But it matters little why. It just is.

Whenever wages finally do increase, groceries and electricity and insurance don’t get cheaper. They just get more affordable.

The most difficult news is that prices will never return to pre-Biden levels. There’s too much cash sloshing around…

As we are now finding out, it was not Boomers who were getting rich, we were their cash cows, the cannon fodder for their endless war and now the Cabal’s fall guy, taking the blame for their crimes. At least that is what they are hoping. As Scott likes to point out, it is (working) white males who are on the bottom of the totem pole.

FDR’s set-up of the American People was followed by Nixon and The End of the Gold Standard in 1971.  Once the dollar was completely un-tethered from gold, the Rockefellers instigated the OPEC oil embargo in 1973. See OPEC and Rockefeller (An old truck driver told me there was so much oil during that period, the workers at the refineries were complaining they were running out of storage room.) Over night the price at the pump doubled causing a massive increase in the price of everything else… except the value of your savings account and pay check.


It was bad enough that FDR stole our gold, he also saddled us with the New Deal and the bastardization of the Commerce Clause. SEE: The Commerce Clause: Route to Omnipotent Government. Financially it has been a disaster for Americans.

Federal Regulations Have Made You 75 Percent Poorer

U.S. GDP is just $16 trillion instead of $54 trillion

The growth of federal regulations over the past six decades has cut U.S. economic growth by an average of 2 percentage points per year, according to a new study in the Journal of Economic Growth. As a result, the average American household receives about $277,000 less annually than it would have gotten in the absence of six decades of accumulated regulations—a median household income of $330,000 instead of the $53,000 we get now.


On top of that, under Reagan, our American corporations were stripped of their wealth via leveraged buyouts and then sold off to foreigners. As a country we went from corporations that were part of our community and viewed Americans as long term investments to transnational corporations who view Americans as replaceable cogs to be discarded as soon as they became ‘too expensive.’ During my Dad’s lifetime people worked for the same company all their life and retired with a pension. I watched the company I was planning to grow old with, a company with ZERO DEBT, get bought out in a hostile takeover, stripped and sold off piece meal. I even knew a guy in Boston, whose business was shipping the machinery from closed US factories in New England to Israel!

EDUCATION


Perhaps the nastiest thing the Cabal did was to destroy out education system. After all the target has always been the uppity middle class. As Dr Blumenfeld pointed out in Dumbing Down America

…he[Dewey]analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found whathe believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority.High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society….

I was a victim of the See & Say reading method as a child.

A Brief History of Reading Instruction

By Stephen Parker a retired teacher who is pro-phonics

For more than a century, reading instruction has been involved in a high-stakes battle between supporters of two opposing methods for teaching a child to read. While this battle is often characterized as “Phonics” versus “Whole Word,” I think it’s more accurate to describe the two methodologies as “Bottom-Up” versus “Top-Down.” … The two methods are not compatible. [BULL SCHIFF! I learned Phonics from Mom and used it when ‘sight reading’ did not work.]

In 1908, Edmond Huey publishes his book The Psychology and Pedagogy of Reading which quickly becomes the manifesto of a growing Whole Word (anti-phonics) movement….

In 1927, a nationally known educator, Dr. Arthur Gates, from Teachers College at Columbia University, joins the Whole Word movement….

By 1930, phonics – meaning explicit teaching of the code – has been abandoned in most of the nation’s classrooms….

1930 – 1965: Whole Word becomes the dominant top-down method for teaching reading in the United States…

1955: The Rudolf Flesch book, Why Johnny Can’t Read, becomes a runaway best seller in the US. It’s a passionate (and polemic) plea for the elimination of Whole Word memorization and guessing, and for a return to phonics….

1955: In a defensive response to the Flesch book, the education establishment and textbook publishers create the International Reading Association (later rebranded as the International Literacy Association). William S. Gray of the University of Chicago is named the first president. It was Gray who developed the popular Look/Say reading series, Dick and Jane, so heavily criticized by Flesch in Why Johnny Can’t Read. [Future IRA presidents will include such noteworthy names as Kenneth Goodman (1981), co-founder of Whole Language (see below), and Marie S. Clay (1992), founder of Reading Recovery.]…


What is interesting is even in Junior High, my friends and I saw the deterioration of education from one year class to the next and remarked upon it. We certainly noticed the Civil Rights Act and the bussing of little Drug Pushers into our school as the CIA expanded their customer base. (A friend’s 7 year old sister was hooked on cocaine in a school near where the Clintons now live.)


Robin Eubanks, an attorney who wrote the blog, Invisible Serf’s Collar gets into the details.

…A background in Law is also excellent preparation for determining precisely what the terms commonly used actually mean. Especially in an industry that is consciously using language to hide the actual intended goals. My experience allowed me to recognize that education in the US and globally has been, for decades,  engaged in a massive Newspeak (as in George Orwell’s 1984) campaign that creates a public illusion on what is being promised and what is coming to the schools and classrooms that are this country’s future. I know what the words and terms really mean to an Ed insider and how it differs from the common public perception. I have documented what was really behind the reading wars and math wars. I have pulled together what the real intended Common Core implementation looks like. And it is wildly different from the PR sales job used to gain adoption in most of the states.

For me the English language is both a sword and a shield. I have documented what is really going on, written a book describing how and why education became a weapon, and now we are going to talk about what the real Common Core implementation looks like in various communities in the US in this busy Summer of 2012…

One of her articles:

Reorienting World Order Values Via the Intervention of Activist Education and Progressive Politics

Why yes that is a quote from a Future Worlds Project financed by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for Peace in the early 70s. At least we now know why education just keeps coming up as the vehicle of choice to initiate social change without that fundamental fact being particularly noticeable. Even if caught, we just get told to defer to the professionals so that the political coup can continue at a slower pace. Drastic Gradualism is actually the term used to get the West to a radically different social, economic, and political system. Hopefully by the year 2000 was the Plan. The 70s were to have been the years to use education to change the prevailing Consciousness before initiating the mobilization for change in the 80s. The precise language used was to:

“supplant the outmoded values/ belief system associated with the state system [they mean nation-state, not those pesky political units the US has 50 of] in a pre-ecological age. [in other words, before Paul Ehrlich started writing about impending disaster]. The emergence and diffusion of a new value/belief consensus [helpfully provided as a Conceptual Understanding so ALL students will know it] is a vital precondition for the kind of active politics that would accomplish the transformation of the structures of power and authority in subsequent period of time.”

Now how many of you have heard that Common Core cannot be incremental? It MUST be comprehensive. Reforms in teacher evals, curricula, assessment, instructional practices, etc. ALL at once. The kind of social engineering that even a weak student of history would know better than attempt. Even if everything about the Common Core was actually about academic content. Which it most decidedly is not.

Well our new World Order planners as they honestly appear to be proud of being [again from then Princeton prof Richard Falk’s book] said it was because (their italics) mechanical penetration of existing curricula was not enough…

I actually have copies of the curriculum UNESCO created back in 2002 to be pushed globally in K-12 created in fulfillment of their obligations as Task Manager under Agenda 21. So much for it being just a theory of conspiring. I also documented the Belmont Challenge and Earth System Alliance that this is a part of. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/the-belmont-challenge-and-the-death-of-the-individual-via-education/

In my book Credentialed to Destroy: How and Why Education Became a Weapon I chronicle the UN entities and the OECD’s confessions of how their use of K-12 education plays into their broader goals. The Secreatry-General of the oECD was especially forthcoming. The thorough use of constructivism globally in K-12 and how it is actually about something other than how to teach subjects is also detailed.

I have also covered on my blog how Queensland has been used by the UN to pilot the transdisciplinary vision for K-12 in something that went by the name the New Basics Project.

There is a theory in K-12 that comes straight out of Marxism that is widely apparent in all the CAGW hype. It doesn’t matter if a theory is factually true. What matters is the effect implementing it as if it were true will have on people and the environment. Never forget the view that There’s Nothing as Practical as a Good Theory if fundamental transformation of people and institutions with governments in charge is the real agenda.

The Hitler Youth, that you refer to, in pictures, started out as a Green Movement. Members of the Hitler Youth wore green shirts, and were sometimes referred to as Greenshirts.

One of their pamphlets reads:

“In every german breast the German forest quivers with its caverns and ravines, crags and boulders, waters and winds, legends and fairy tales, with its songs and its melodies, and awakens a powerful yearning and a longing for home; in all German souls the German forest lives and weaves with its depth and breadth, its stillness and strength, its might and dignity, its riches and its beauty — it is the source of German inwardness, of the German soul, of German freedom. Therefore protect and care for the German forest for the sake of the elders and the youth, and join the new German “League for the Protection and Consecration of the German Forest”. [Reproduced in Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, Auf der Suche nach Arkadien, Munchen, 1990 p 147.]

The brightest and fittest of the Hitler Youth went on to form the nucleus of the Waffen Schutzstaffel (the SS), or in English, Protective Squadron. – Hitler’s private bodyguards.

But they didn’t just protect Hitler, in a personal sense, rather they protected the Furer (or leader), but more importantly, they were sworn and dedicated to protecting the Fatherland – Germany.

Substitute the concept of Gaia, as the Earth Mother, for the concept of Fatherland, as being just Germany, and you have the modern Green Shirts.

The models won’t go away because environmental catastrophe is at the center of global education reforms insisting we need new kinds of minds. It is all grounded in the Paul Ehrlich and Robert Ornstein book from that convenient and busy year of 1989 New World New Mind.

It’s also at the center of the political efforts that we shift to a so-called cooperative commonwealth model where the common good” as decided by government officials will be paramount. The Democracy Collaborative out of U Maryland has been quite busy on this note as has Gar Alperowitz on his book tour.

None of us may be among the 350 invited guests from all over the world being planned for in this September Meeting of the Minds annual conference http://cityminded.org/events/toronto/agenda but we are all being planned for at the meeting. Don’t miss the US EPA official attending as they work on a different kind of commerce for the 21st century.

They need the supposed AGW crisis. It’s the excuse for all the planning and sought revolutionary transformations.

As somebody who reads all these reports coming out of the UN and Club of Rome and what Ehrlich says he intends to do etc, the books and reports read like satire and bad fiction. Which they are except intentions coupled to political power and taxpayer financing have actual real effects.

I suspect the early 90s writers were looking at things like the World Order Models Project and the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and then the hype around Limits to Growth and then the 87 Brundtland Report and realizing this is all an excuse for unquestioned power. AND being the paymaster for all that redistribution.

Understanding WOMP from the early 70s is very enlightening to appreciating the mentalities and lust for money and power that have always been hand in hand with these Save the World by changing human values schemes. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/reorienting-world-order-values-via-the-intervention-of-activist-education-and-progressive-politics/ lays out WOMP.

The Club of Rome considered WOMP a peer in its intentions and credentials involved.

The Gory Details About Terrorist Teacher Kathy Boudin

…Radical Math was created by educator Jonathan Osler several years ago while teaching at El Puenta Academy in New Jersey. Osler taught Radical Math along-side Cathy Wilkerson, a former member of the Weather Underground Organization (with Bill Ayers) who once participated in a plot to detonate a nail bomb at a dance for military personnel at Fort Dix.

Radical Math provides hundreds of social justice math lessons obviously meant to indoctrinate. For example, lesson titles include “Sweatshop Accounting,” “Racism and Stop and Frisk,” “When Equal Isn’t Fair,” “The Square Root of a Fair Share” and “Home Buying While Brown or Black.”…


IPOT aka Sir Patrick Mack did a very good series on the Weather Underground.

2025.11.11 Daily Thread – American Stories: Honor Our Veterans

As a reminder the national holiday we recognize today, November 11, was stablished by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 as Armistice Day. It served as a celebration of the end of WW I. After WW II and the Korean War, Congress was pushed by citizens and groups to recognize the day for all veterans, not just those fallen in service to our country. In response Veterans Day was approved and President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law in 1954.

With two fathers having served during WW II, the day will always be a special one for wifey and I. I have posted summarized versions of these stories previously, but many have not had the opportunity to read them. These will provide a bit more detail. I hope they will be a source of inspiration to you.

You’re In The Army Now

The Great Man from hillbilly land in Tennessee served as a heavy mortar crewman in the 36th “Texas” Infantry Division in the Army in the German theater and was captured in a fierce battle in and around Monte Cassino, Italy. That battle lasted nearly five months and had Allied forces from several nations involved. Complicating efforts was the desire by the Allies to preserve as much of the historically significant landmarks in the region as possible, which the German military was using to escape attack. In the end stage it was efforts of the Polish troops that brought it to a successful conclusion and opened the path of Allied troops toward Rome and final victory in Italy. Allied forces suffered approximately 55 thousand casualties along with 20 thousand Germans. At war’s end the Texas Division had suffered 19.5 thousand casualties. A summary description of this horrendous battle is below.

Monte Cassino: The Brutal WWII Battle That Shattered Armies, Spirits on the Road to Rome

The Great Man survived over 13 months in German Stalags and farm labor camps before being freed by Russian troops on April 13, 1945. He once attempted to escape a labor camp by swimming across a river with strong currents with two other prisoners. They did not make it and one of them drowned in the rapids. They were forced to sleep in old barns and on the frozen ground in the dead of winter, praying that the Allied bombers would not have them in their sights. During the last two months of captivity in 1945 the German guards kept them on the march. At one point they were strafed by allied planes who thought they were enemy combatants. Six of his fellow brothers were killed and they had to dig their graves. The Russians freed them a month before the official end of the war as their guards fled from the area.

He suffered from malnutrition and frostbite from the ordeal as well as from PTSD throughout the remainder of his life. Once he arrived back in his hometown there was nobody there to greet him at the train station, they had no idea of when he was coming. His family believed he had been killed in action the entire time until notified by the military after his release in late April. Even then they did not believe he was alive as other townspeople had received similar communications in the past only to find their family members had died. He began walking the approximate 5 miles to the small family farm in his broken physical condition until he could not any longer. The last bit of road he crawled until his momma saw him and came running. He could not believe her eyes when she saw him along the road.

It would have meant more to be home if The Great Man did not remember the years of abuse he suffered from his alcoholic father before he left to serve. As it was, he had nowhere else to go and he knew his momma would help. By this point his father was a shell of himself anyway, as the drinking had led to health problems as he had his legs being amputated at the knees from diabetes caused by the alcoholism.

He weighed less than 120 lbs. and initially could not sleep in a bed in their home. For months he slept on blankets on the ground under the front porch. Over time he regained strength from being back working and living on their small farm with food to eat.

His two brothers also returned to the family home after serving in the Navy. This lifted his spirits and he began to heal. He started attending church with his momma and met a pretty teenager he adored. They fell in love and eloped to Georgia to get married a year later. Upon their return it was not long before she was pregnant at the age of 18. The pregnancy went well until the sixth month and she began hemorrhaging. The old country doctor came to the small run down home they rented and thought it was time to try to give birth as both mom and baby were in serious danger. A few hours later a tiny baby girl weighing about three pounds was delivered. She did not make a sound and they all believed she did not make it. The Great Man began massaging her tiny chest and prayed to the Lord the entire time while the doctor addressed the needs of his wife. A few moments later they were overjoyed when the tiny baby began to cry.

Daddy’s Girl was born. She was nurtured at home, there were no NICO units or incubators to help her along. They got by with what they had and could do along with the help of that country doctor, families and friends. Daddy’s Girl turned out to be a tough fighter, just like her dad. This guy will be forever grateful. As a result I was able to grow old with the love of my life, experience being a girl dad, and now be a papaw to three wonderful grandchildren. We are forever grateful that The Great Man never gave up.

Four more children were born to the couple over time. He worked jobs where he could find one along with the farm work and eventually found a job at the Post Office in town at age 36. He was so proud and the townspeople all enjoyed visiting with him when they came by. When their parents passed away, he and his brothers sold that scrub 30 acre farm so they could each have enough for down payments on small places of their own. They were so happy to have homes with running water, indoor toilets and electricity for the first time in their lives.

Life happened and The Great Man stayed in touch with all of his POW buddies at annual events through the decades that followed. There were 30 from his unit that were initially captured. When they began their reunions they tracked down 21 who were still alive or could be found. They visited each other’s homes or at met up at motels through the years. They all came and visited The Great Man’s family home one weekend 32 years afters the war and again, some 9 years later in 1986. By that point only a dozen participated, half of the original 30 were deceased. The original 21 in the group were from every corner of America. All of The Great Man’s and his Angel Wife’s children, spouses and grandchildren came to meet the men and their wives. The time was filled with good food, laughter and interesting stories.

However, when we heard the Kansas public school teacher turned superintendent take his turn our eyes grew moist. He described how he hid a tiny notepad and pencil stub under the sole in his shoe that a kind, local German woman snuck to him when they were taken into town to haul grain seed back to the farm labor camp. At night in the dark when the guards were not watching he recorded dates and important events of most days. It served as a journal that helped him chronicle those last few months of their captivity when they were exposed and in the most danger. He had provided each POW brother a copy of it, which we still have today.

Many of the men spoke of how they cherished the potato peelings the thoughtful German women would throw to them that helped keep them alive. They talked about how the Russian captives in the Stalags were treated much worse than they were.

As a separate thought, maybe that helps to explain some of the deep seated hatred that we see between Russians and the Ukrainian/Euro Nazis today. The Russians seem intent on the total destruction of the nation that grew out of that Nazi stronghold. Perhaps it was not the best idea for our uniparty to have given away $350 B of our national treasure to a disgusting Day One lost cause.

As the families visited and told their stories we all knew we were in the presence of greatness. These men and their devoted wives were the best America had to offer to save the world.

The time came when Daddy’s Girl needed to become both The Great Man’s and his Angel Wife’s primary care giver. There were countless doctor and hospital visits, loads of laundry, bills to be paid, food to be provided and errands to run. With a family of her own, she was getting worn down. However, it became clear that The Great Man was being prepared to go home at age 80. The nightmares about the war that gripped him all those years no longer bothered him as life left his body. No more being embarrassed after diving under the kitchen table when a plane passed over their home or grabbing his rifle if he was startled by an unusual noise at night. Daddy’s Girl laid in bed with him at the nursing home as he went to be with Jesus. Their unshakeable bond was on display until the end. His trials and health issues were released as he entered into the waiting arms of Jesus.

His legacy was seen in the faces and words of over 700 people who came to the funeral of a man who had never held a position higher than janitor in his home town. This was followed by a full honor guard burial. Angel Wife handed the American flag that was presented to her by the honor guardsman to Daddy’s Girl and said, “Here, you deserve this.”

His greatness was found in the stories that were told and the lives that were made better by the strong, selfless, caring manner of The Great Man who was always there for his nation and others as had been done for him when he needed them most.

Anchors Aweigh, my boys…

The coal miner’s son was a Little Guy who took after his 4′ 10″ diminutive in stature school teacher and Appalachian poet mother who oriented him to the importance of seeking a higher education despite living in poverty. Then Pearl Harbor happened. The Little Guy left his community college classes and headed straight for the enlistment office. Standing 5′ 6″ tall and weighing 129 lbs., he was upset to learn he was barely tall enough and did not weigh enough. For weeks he did everything he could to gain weight including carrying rocks in his pockets when he tried to enlist the next time. The enlistment office personnel looked the other way as he stepped on the scale to find he weighed the minimum 133 lbs. to join the Navy. So, The Little Guy joined America’s military the same year as The Great Man in 1942.

His small size turned out to be a benefit for the role he would be assigned later. After basic and flight training on radar and as a radioman along with plane electrician in the Naval Air Force in Jacksonville and assignment to sunny Pensacola, his crew was soon based in the Aleutians at Attu, Alaska. Attu was a cold and barren place that was nearly devoid of life forms after the Japanese took it in the early days of the war.

The very small, primarily native Aluet population of the island who did not escape had been savaged by killing the adult males and sending the women and children back to Japan as prisoners. Later, it became the site where the blood of thousands of Japanese and hundreds of American troops lost their lives. The 500 or so remaining Japanese troops who survived the final battle were so brainwashed about their plights they committed mass suicide as well as murder of each other rather than being captured. A summary of the struggle is below,

https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/retaking-aleutians-1943

Once retaken, The Little Guy’s squadron was assigned and utilized as spotters who focused on reconnaissance in the Pacific. The initial plane they flew was a B-24. From 1944 until the end of the war it was a PB4Y-2 Privateer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_PB4Y-2_Privateer

With each battle of our military they would be based into those areas to spot enemy ship, submarine and troop movements in the region. This led to him eventually spending time with his crew mates in Okinawa, Korea, Taiwan (Formosa), Myanmar (Burma), and China as well as post surrender, in Japan briefly. He saw the aftermath of the atomic bombs and other destruction from the air.

Interestingly, although they never met, he was stationed in Okinawa during the same period as one of The Great Man’s brothers who was a crewman on a Naval ship assigned to that battle and later based there.

It was a stressful period wondering if the plane would go down from Japanese attacks and becoming shark bait. Dodging flak was a regular occurrence. His crew survived it all due to a good tail gunner, “Gunny” Hagedorn, along with the help of American fighter pilots who protected them as well as the Lord’s will. He only experienced frostbite in his feet and an occasional nightmare about the widespread destruction he witnessed from the experience. He counted himself fortunate. His experiences led to a deep appreciation for President Truman’s decision to end the war with that atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

After the war he returned to college life. At that point with the better nutrition and physical conditioning from Navy life at age 24 he found he had grown 3″ taller and was 20 lbs. heavier. After college and a short term job in an aluminum mill; there was a return to the mines and a mining school to become a surveyor. After that there was a move into industrial construction as a surveyor and engineer from his education at the University of Tennessee. That led to a final long career in his field with a steel manufacturer. Along the way it meant hitting the Hillbilly Highway as he searched for a better life than could be found in dead end coal mining camp towns. Before he left the region he married a young woman in one of the coal mining towns who wanted out as well. Their first child, Daddy’s Boy, arrived on the scene a few years later as he worked construction on a major DOD project a half dozen years after the war. As that project wound down he found work doing what he loved in that steel mill town in SW Ohio.

The Little Guy was in his element. He shared a bond with many of the men at the mill as former brothers in arms serving their country. Generally there was great respect shared in that work place with all races and cultures of people employed there. They shared a common bond as the working class that loved their country and the work. You would find them gathered on weekends at the ballfields and high school stadium. Daddy’s Boy was coached up in team sports by many of his co-workers. These were the same fields that decades later produced home run hitting Kyle Schwarber – a current MLB All Star along with former NFL stars Todd Bell and Chris Carter.

Despite his important role in mill operations and maintenance he never made much money. Most weeks he worked 50-70 hours for the overtime pay to help the family make ends meet. That left very little family time except on weekends. However, before he left in the mornings he would cook breakfast for Daddy’s Boy and his sister. He did not want them to go to school hungry. The Little Guy never knew that he would be working with and living a half dozen blocks from the grandfather and family of a future Vice President. He would have been very proud of JD.

Life happened and The Little Guy grew old. Unlike The Great One, he never knew the stability and love from a good marriage. With the passing of his beloved parents he turned even more to his two children and families, sister, and friends for companionship. He knew Daddy’s Boy would always have his back just like he always had his through the years. As his body began to be wrecked by cancer and his relationship with his wife worsened; he left to live with Daddy’s Boy and family. Despite his body shutting down, in his own words the next five months became some of the best of his life emotionally and spiritually. He had always adored his only grandchild and family times brought him great joy. Wifey (Daddy’s Girl) was like a daughter to him for all of those years and he would always remind Daddy’s Boy, “You have a keeper, son.” He even returned to his faith, began attending church for the first time in over 40 years, and for possibly the only period in his life led prayers over meals.

As his time grew short, he asked for one thing from Daddy’s Boy, to be taken back to SW Ohio to say goodbye to his old friends and make arrangements at the funeral home. The trip that normally would have brought great sorrow turned into a joyful event as he visited with his buddies as his daughter joined us. Since his youth Daddy’s Boy had known The Little Guy’s best friend who was a co-worker. He had been a positive Christian influence. Spending time together was so rewarding for all four of us.

Despite their miserable relationship; he had provided a home, vehicle, no debt, enough money in the bank and retirement income to sustain his wife, the mother of Daddy’s Boy, for the rest of her years. The same person who hated and ridiculed him in life and in death; who drove him out of their home while he was dying of cancer, is who he made sure had all she needed to live life well. He often said he did not want her to be a burden on Daddy’s Boy and his sister when he was gone.

After a few days in hospice The Little Guy passed away quietly at the age of 83. His 91 year old former pastor, the same one who had led Daddy’s Boy to the Lord as a youngster, led The Little Guy’s funeral and burial services. The Little Guy’s final journey could all be summed up as finishing well. There were no tears, only a sense of gratitude and love as the honor guardsman presented the flag – to Daddy’s Boy.

Shared Traits

Both of these great men became well acquainted and friends through the years. They talked of their upbringing that was less than 75 miles apart, but living completely different lives. Both were very reluctant to talk about their war experiences. Both worked hard all of their lives to provide for their families. They never made a lot of money, yet, were not burdens on anybody else while providing enough for their wives to live well the rest of their lives. Both men had deep bonds of friendship with other men who lived through tough times. Interestingly, both men were strong supporters of the GOP all of their lives. The uniparty members would have made them angry today. Both men always had the backs of their families and friends. Both men focused on others instead of themselves. Both men exited the world quietly and mentally sharp despite their physical ailments.

Both wifey and I loved each other’s fathers deeply. We also both understood the role of the eldest child in many families, both dads taught it to us. I never fully realized just how valuable that commitment was until both fathers had gone to be with the Lord. Our collective younger family members were looking to us at that point. We also saw it in the eyes of Angel Wife as she laid The Great Man to rest and we helped her through her long battle with dementia after he passed. We saw his life’s partner go to meet him in paradise with all of the family at her bedside. Some bonds just can never be broken no matter who or what rises against them.

Did I mention Angel Wife passed away 11/11/11? Yes, she passed away on Veteran’s Day fourteen years ago today. Did I mention that her Veteran husband, The Great Man, passed away on the second anniversary of 9/11? He told me the day before he died that he knew the military would take out “that SOB bin Laden” at some point. Then there was The Little Guy passing away on St. Patrick’s Day. It was also appropriate due to the recommitment to his faith.

God has His ways and all we can do is marvel at them.

The following song was the story of different people in a different place, but the spirit of the words explains how wifey and I feel as we look back through the old photos and mementos of The Great Man and The Little Guy. They too were just trying to survive in their poverty stricken situations that led to going to war to protect our nation. Every time we hear it, in our minds we can see and hear the voices of our fathers.

Lesson

Each day we walk by the book case that holds those two tightly folded American flags from the burial services that are encased in frames to preserve them for the generations that follow us. We have also preserved the history of these two great men in memory books that incllude old photos, military documents, related news stories, etc. These included aerial and local photos The Little Guy took of all of his crew’s assignments while in the Japanese theater. They are in black and white, of course. It is never lost on us the sacrifices they and all patriots have made to keep America free. But to Daddy’s Girl and Daddy’s Boy, they were our dads who did that and so much more.

Our collective history as Americans matters in world history. In reality, We the People doing as the Lord has desired of us are all that has held the world together for a lot of years now. The future generations who follow need to know and learn from our experiences just as we have learned from others before us.

Please take time to honor those who have served you and your country well this Veterans Day. With those who have passed, keep their memories alive in your minds and hearts. Each generation of patriotic Americans has worked to keep this dream of We the People alive and flourishing. Look those who would do us harm dead in the eyes and do whatever it takes to stop them, just like our patriot fathers and mothers have done throughout our history.

Go to work. Never back down, never give up. Fight, Fight, Fight!

God bless our Veterans and God bless the U. S. A.

Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. 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.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

On this day and every day –

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

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

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

Let’s Eat!

Leviticus chapter 11 lists the dietary restrictions God gave to the nation of Israel. The dietary laws included prohibitions against eating pork, shrimp, shellfish and many types of seafood, most insects, scavenger birds, and various other animals. The dietary rules were never intended to apply to anyone other than the Israelites. The purpose of the food laws was to make the Israelites distinct from all other nations. After this purpose had ended, Jesus declared all foods clean (Mark 7:19). Later, God gave the apostle Peter a vision that implied formerly unclean animals could be eaten: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean” (Acts 10:15). When Jesus died on the cross, He fulfilled the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24-26; Ephesians 2:15). This includes the laws regarding clean and unclean foods.

Romans 14:1-23 teaches us that not everyone is mature enough in the faith to accept the fact that all foods are clean. As a result, if we are with someone who would be offended by our eating “unclean” food, we should give up our right to do so as to not offend the other person. We have the right to eat whatever we want, but we do not have the right to offend other people, even if they are wrong. For the Christian in this age, though, we have freedom to eat whatever we wish as long as it does not cause someone else to stumble in his/her faith.

In the New Covenant of grace, the Bible is far more concerned with how much we eat than what foods Christians eat. Physical appetites are an analogy of our ability to control ourselves. If we are unable to control our eating habits, we are probably also unable to control other habits such as those of the mind (lust, covetousness, unrighteous hatred/anger) and unable to keep our mouths from gossip or strife. As Christians, we are not to let our appetites control us; rather, we are to control them (Deuteronomy 21:20; Proverbs 23:2; 2 Peter 1:5-7; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 10:5).

The subject of nutrition, as we think of it today, is not directly mentioned in the Bible—that is, the Bible doesn’t talk about calories and the balance of fat, protein, and carbohydrates a person needs. Neither does it mention GMOs or the benefits of eating whole foods versus processed foods, because the production of food had not yet been industrialized. Furthermore, there was no scientific understanding of the elements in food and what they do to and for the human body. However, from biblical principles we can deduce that it is beneficial and even morally right to emphasize a healthful diet.

First of all, the Bible encourages us to care for our bodies, and good nutrition is naturally part of that. God cares about man’s physical comfort and well-being (Exodus 22:27). Paul argues that, since a believer’s body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, he should flee sexual immorality, which harms the body that was bought by Christ’s blood (1 Corinthians 6:18–20). This argument can be carried over to other issues, including drug and alcohol abuse and how we treat food. Food is fuel. It is not meant to be used purely for pleasure, or we could eat nothing but chocolate and cheese pizza and be healthy. Food is meant for nutrition and good health.

Our bodies can be considered machines that carry us from place to place as we carry out the work God has planned for us (Ephesians 2:10). An unhealthy body will make us slow, lethargic, and prone to illness and injury. Good nutrition is crucial for proper brain function and hormonal balance; eating the right food contributes highly to our ability to think clearly and to our general quality of life. Therefore, good nutrition can help support our service for the Lord.

God gives food to us, as He does to the creatures of the animal kingdom (Psalm 147:9; 104:27; 136:25). The earth has been created to produce foods that are full of vitamins and minerals and amino acids that the body needs to survive and be healthy. Food is a gift from God; it is His provision.

The Believer’s Freedom

1 Corinthians 10:23-33

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

A.I. News? A rising tide to avoid…

Building Rail to Bypass Sanctions & Venezuela buddies up with Russia

A little while ago, I’d posted that EwTube was becoming unusable for me as a “news” source, or even just for keeping tabs on what was the topic of the day. Here I’m going to present 2 examples of “the problem”. Sites where I “clicked” on the click bait like thumbnail, and DID get what I was interested in; BUT where the whole ambiance, content, and site looks to me like “A.I. For Effect”.

But who’s benefit? Who is driving the agenda?

A Little Obvious Pro China Agenda?

This first example is in some ways easiest to demonstrate. Named “4 Daily Mews”, I’ve run into it a couple of times. The latest was about the Polish block on Chinese rail to Europe crossing from Russia via Belarus. I’ve included that video below. When you look at the site on EwTube, you find that pretty much every video is about China and with a pro-China bias. Then notice that it puts out about a dozen videos a day. No single person, or even a small group of people, could do that without an A.I. “helper”.

So my strongest suspicion is that this is a Chinese Government Information Operation to promote “China Issues” to the American audience, and secondarily to the Anglosphere in general. So first check out this link to their videos and just look at all the Pro-China 12 a day thumbnails.

https://www.youtube.com/@ALLRIMS/videos

So that’s one of my basic checks on any channel. What is the thrust of it, or the bias if you will, and what is the volume.

Then looking at any one video, I look for “A.I. Artifacts”. This will get harder over time as the tech matures; but for now, there are a few simple to spot things. In this Train Video, for example, there is a lack of geographical awareness of details.

A border crossing with English signs and US type cars that looks a LOT like a US / Canada border crossing, when talking about Belarus / Poland borders?

The gauge of the tracks wobbles between “standard gauge” (the skinny 4′ and a bit) and Confederate / Russian gauge (5 foot). Then some trains are clearly European type, others not so much.

Some have catenary electric power (like near the end at 20:43) which is not used in continental cross country lines and only used in the USA for local trolleys and such). Not a lot of electric generation in the middle of rural Siberia…

Some have catenary electric power (like near the end at 20:43) which is not used in continental cross country lines and only used in the USA for local trolleys and such). Not a lot of electric generation in the middle of rural Siberia…

And then there is the repetitiveness. A.I. tends to repeat after a while. Usually about 1/2 way through the story. This one not as much as the next one; but still it starts to feel like “I’ve heard that already”. And you get a LOT of images somewhat disjoint from “the message”. A pan of what looks like a random European City skyline while talking about freight volume levels increasing? Random shots of rail yards, one at a port with cranes over a waterway (12:44) when talking about an overland route from China to Europe? All just “a little off” as context.

Then there’s the tendency to pronounce dates as numbers… 2008 isn’t “Twenty Twenty Eight” but “2 Thousand and Eight”… or 1969 becomes One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Nine (as made up examples). Seen in most A.I. videos that have dates in them.

Also, eventually the ear becomes attuned to The Voices. There are a few that are used across many different A.I. videos from many makers. You start to think: “Who is that, I’ve heard him before”… Note that the next video has a different speaker, one with a sort-of Hispanic lilt… BTW, as a lip reader (due to deafness, profound at one point but now better) I especially notice when they show a “speaker” and the lips are not quite right for the speech…

Hispanic? Or not quite…

First off, this site has all of 3 videos up, and not much else. The “about” listing is sparse, saying it has been “up” since July 26, 2022, yet the only videos are from yesterday (2) and today (one hour ago). Highly suspicious. Like maybe something was banked or repurposed?

A search on “Nadikudi Nadine” only finds a railway station in India…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadikudi_railway_station

and the name in general doesn’t fit any pattern I recognize from several languages & cultures. Just seems a bit artificial somehow. It could be that his parents had a strange sense of humor (it happens), but… And then the channel handle “@TheGlobalShift-e1w” seems very artificial and is disconnected to the name “Nadikudi Nadine”. Most folks don’t do that…

https://www.youtube.com/@TheGlobalShift-e1w

Then the videos have the same “look”: Close up on one guy, same “clothes” and background. The hand gestures seem to repeat at odd times and be almost exactly the same in placement, duration, and seem artificial.

Again we have the Issue With Numbers, and occasional odd pauses and inflections. A not quite right “accent” to the ethnicity map of the voice. Lips not quite right for sync to the sounds.

Also, the use of a fake “chyron” in the thumbnail. Especially CNN or Fox. I’ve started to become sensitized to that as a fake indicator. Any chyron needs to match the channel name / owner.

FWIW, I tend to agree with the messages in both of these videos. I think they are much more in line with the reality of the world that I understand than is the crap in the TLA influenced MSM of The West. As propaganda goes, I’d rate their operation as better than ours in The West.

BUT…

I don’t want to be cannon fodder in the field of battle between two different Propaganda Batteries of fire. I want simple honesty and truthful reporting, NOT from an A.I. generated script made by an Agency Prompt.

That is becoming harder to find, wasting my time, and forcing me into this kind of analysis of ANY source I run into. I resent it. I’m getting tired of seeing a 1/2 hour of repetitive and barely relevant images randomly pasted over the top of a wandering PR Script, stuffed sometimes with EwTube commercials.

Which, BTW, has me wondering to what extent Google is using their own A.I. to generate some classes of channels to create their own “Click Bait” and gather in 100% of the ad revenue… Paranoia is sometimes your friend when it keeps you out of trouble, but sometimes dreams up threat scenarios that are not real… But, who knows in this case.

So that’s a little trip down my daily “Anything new today?” morning videos over coffee routine; that has turned into “how do I know this is real at all?” lately; and workload to vet some of it.

RANT ON.

FWIW. Likely Nothing. AI is really starting to irritate the hell out of Slow Guy.

RANT ENDS.

NOW. Returning to previously scheduled Saturday post.

R-Cons ALLOWED this to happen.  Shitheads.  Unforgivable.

Not to mention, these activist judges ALL need to be impeached.  In parallel, if possible.  NOT one after the other. 

  • I don’t want to hear shit about the Senate won’t convict.
  • Same nonsense I heard over Maggot, Kakala, Garland, Wray, Idi Amin…

R-Cons Deliver Z E R O support to Trump.

WATCH: @POTUSlists some major victories that could be achieved if Republicans terminate the filibuster:

— Voter ID

— Ending no cash bail

— No welfare for illegals

“It doesn’t make any sense that a Republican would not want to do that.”

On the lighter side…  (Likely a snippet from above Orban WH video.) 

After @PressSecCOOKED the Fake News over their false claims about affordability, @PM_ViktorOrbanasked @POTUSif he could hire her. “Please don’t leave us Karoline.

(OK, that one is likely a re-run.  Worthy re-run.)

More positive news.

As we’ve said before, vessel strikes on narco-terrorists will continue until their the poisoning of the American people stops. Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean and was struck in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and three male narco-terrorists — who were aboard the vessel — were killed. To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs—we will kill you.

Positive news, albeit a baby step.  Globally, rare earths are looking good.

South Carolina: @SecScottBessenthold the first rare-earth magnet produced in the United States in 25 years. “We are on our way to solving the Chinese chokehold that they have… this is @POTUS‘ all-hands-on-deck for this national emergency.”

. @SECWAR “Today, I’d like to talk to you about an adversary that poses a threat to the United States of America. This adversary is one of the world’s last bastions of central planning. It governs by dictating five-year plans. From a single capital, it attempts to impose its demands across time zones, continents, oceans and beyond with brutal consistency… The adversary I’m talking about is much closer to home. It’s the Pentagon bureaucracy.”

THIS.  IS.  WINNING.

NEW: The Trump State Department, led by Secretary Marco Rubio, has revoked the visas of 80,000 individuals since January.

Gillian Turner: “16,000 visas revoked for DUI. 12,000 revoked for assault, and 8,000 revoked for theft.”

“We also know about 8,000 student visas—for foreign students studying here in the United States— have been revoked.”

MORE!

Health Friday 11.7.2025 Open Thread: What’s Going on at Pfizer-BioNTech?: Part One

The free image of vintage Pfizer vaccine vials for the header in today’s offering is courtesy of Dreamstime and Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had in their body. May they rest in eternal Peace.

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 linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except perhaps for AI-generated images within linked URLS. If readers wish to post AI-generated content to the discussion thread for today’s offering, they must cite their source. Thank you.

This Part One trail begins here, with two news reports regarding the September 2025 agreement reached between the United States government and Pfizer (PfizerUSA, the United States co-partner of Pfizer-BioNTech; BioNTech, the other co-partner, is headquartered in Mainz, Germany.). First, from Virginia Business (https://virginiabusiness.com/pfizer-agrees-to-lower-drug-costs-70b-us-investment/), “Pfizer agrees to lower drug costs, $70B US investment”, 30 September 2025. A screenshot from this article is below:

And, second, the announcement from PfizerUSA (https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-reaches-landmark-agreement-us-government-lower-drug, “Pfizer Reaches Landmark Agreement with U.S. Government to Lower Drug Costs for American Patients”, 30 September 2025. A screenshot from this article is below:

Note that the specific details of this agreement, which will affect millions of Americans, “remain confidential.”

The company called Pfizer-BioNTech is a formal co-partnership between Pfizer, also known as PfizerUSA (CEO, Dr. Albert Bourla, DVM); and, BIoNTech of Mainz, Germany (CEO, Dr. Ugur Sahin, MD.) Both PfizerUSA and BioNTech were involved / still are involved, in the development and manufacture of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” line, COMIRNATY (this “vaccine” was previously known as BNT162b2, or “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.“) Both PfizerUSA and BioNTech have agreements regarding their sharing royalty payments for COMIRNATY “vaccines” purchased and used throughout the world. PfizerUSA and BioNTech are also involved in the development and manufacture of other drugs and vaccines, either separately or in coordination with each other.

The most recent (as of 5 August 2025) PfizerUSA (and Pfizer-BioNTech) product “pipeline” website is here: https://www.pfizer.com/science/drug-product-pipeline. Click on “Downloadable PDF” to view the entire pipeline. Screenshots of two pipeline areas, Internal Medicine and Vaccines, follow. The first screenshot, Internal Medicine, with discussion by Yours Truly, is below:

**** WHY is Paxlovid, a combo drug of nirmatrelvir (an antiviral) + ritonavir (an HIV/AIDS treatment drug that targets the immune system) going to be used on CHILDREN who become infected with COVID-19?

**** Ibuzatrelvir (PF-07817883), now in Phase 3 clinical trials, is an oral / enhanced “nirmatrelvir on steroids” treatment for COVID-19 infection that was granted “Fast Track” approval by the FDA The intended use of this drug appears to be as a “replacement” for Paxlovid.. Please see: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.4c00508, 30 July 2024. Pfizer has already patented this drug. Let’s take a look at the Overview of this Phase 3 clinical trial, as described here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06679140:

Does “Fast Track” approval by the FDA mean that the “Study Completion (Estimated)” of 6 May 2027 will be “bypassed”, and only the data from the “Primary Completion (Estimated)” of 12 December 2026 will be used to push this drug onto the market faster? In addition, WHY is the study subject pool so small (2330 persons) for a drug that would potentially be used on hundreds of thousands of persons?

And, from the Researcher View of this clinical trial, part of the Secondary Outcomes descriptions:

Note that the “viral load” measurement will be performed via EITHER a nasal sample, OR via a nasopharyngeal sample. If a nasopharyngeal sample swab is used, this is the extremely long swab that reaches all the way to the VERY BACK of the nasal cavity and can touch the COVERING OF THE BRAIN. By the way, the correct administration of the nasopharyngeal swab is also to ROTATE the swab a couple of times after insertion.

In addition, in the information about NCT06679140, the “placebo tablet” that will be used is NOT described at all. Is the “placebo tablet” going to be Paxlovid? Is the “placebo tablet” going to be a completely drug-free “empty” tablet?

And now, the second screenshot from the “pipeline” PDF, Vaccines, is below. Yours Truly will discuss an interesting new “vaccine” from this list, under development by PfizerUSA (in conjunction with BioNTech) — PF-07926307, a combination modRNA-based COVID-19 plus influenza “vaccine“:

The available-to-the-public information regarding PF-07926307 is both confusing and concerning. Pfizer-BioNTech insists that this “combo vaccine” is only for “prophylactic” use against COVID-19 plus influenza: https://investors.biontech.de/news-releases/news-release-details/pfizer-and-biontech-provide-update-mrna-based-combination, “Pfizer and BioNTech Provide Update on mRNA-based Combination Vaccine Program Against Influenza and COVID-19 in Individuals 18-64 Years of Age”, 16 August 2024. Only ONE of of the two outcomes measurements of the Phase 3 clinical trial for this “vaccine” were met (NCT06178991.) A screenshot from the company’s press release is below:

Note that this press release emanates from Germany, not the United States;, and that the “combination candidate” is not identified as PF-07926307.

**** In addition, it appears that PF-07926307 is actually a combination of TWO separate Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA “vaccines” formulations: BNT162b2 and BNT 161: https://investors.biontech.de/news-releases/news-release-details/biontech-outlines-2024-strategic-priorities-42nd-annual-jp, “BioNTech Outlines 2024 Strategic Priorities at the 42nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference”, 9 January 2024. Please see the screenshot from this article, below:

**** Note the clinical trial mentioned in the above screenshot: NCT05596734. The modRNA “combo vaccine” used in this clinical trial is none other than BNT162b2 (tozinameran, now marketed as COMIRNATY, but which was the ORIGINAL Pfizer-BioBNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” against the ORIGINAL Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] virus), plus BNT161 (famtozinameran, the ORIGINAL modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” against the OMICRON variant BA.4/BA.5) Please see: https://covid-vaccine.canada.ca/comirnaty-original-omicron-ba4ba5/product-details, which also states, “Cancelled by sponsor May 3rd, 2024.”

**** However, at the same time, it appears that this Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “combo vaccine” of BNT162b2 plus BNT161 — also known as PF-07926307 — IS being used — in Singapore: https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=20959, “Date of last revision: July 2024.” Please see the screenshot from the package information for this product administered in Singapore, below:

And, screenshots from Page 65 (of 65), from the package information for the above injectable:

BNT161, one of the component modRNA “vaccines” in PF-07926307, is an influenza “vaccine”, meaning that it can be used against EITHER influenza OR COVID-19 (Omicron BA.4/BA.5.) The German partner of PfizerUSA — BioNTech — has been working on this injectable since at least 2022: https://biontechse.gcs-web.com/news-releases/press-release-details/biontech-announces-third-quarter-2022-financial-results-and, “BioNTech Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Corporate Update”, 7 November 2022. A screenshot from this article is below:

Note that the press release is from BioNTech Sweden.

A screenshot from the Adisinsight Drug Profile for BNT161 is below. Note that this modRNA “vaccine” is a quadrivalent influenza injectable (https://adisinsight.springer.com/drugs/800052769):

**** On the other hand, here is the article on PF-07926307 (BNT162b2 + BNT161) by the tech / AI / data collection and analysis platform, Patsnap: https://synapse.patsnap.com/article/what-is-pf-07926307-used-for?, 28 June 2024. A screenshot of the entire article is below; Yours Truly includes the entire article because it has a wealth of information and clues as to the possible real “agenda” behind this injectable:

**** Note that, per the article above, the “primary indication” for the use of PF-07926307 is for the treatment of cancers caused by overactive kinases responses, such as are found in lymphomas; with what may be called a “secondary indication” for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Lymphomas or chronic inflammatory diseases induced by, say, modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” injections, such as BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY?) Is it remotely possible that PF-07926307 (BNT162b2 + BNT161) is being redesigned as a “backdoor oncology and/or chronic inflammatory diseases treatment” injectable? How does this square with what Pfizer-BioNTech claims that this “vaccine” is to be used for — against COVID-19 + influenza infection? What is the truth here?

**** In any case, WHY is Pfizer-BioNTech apparently using BNT162b2, the company’s original modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, as a foundational component in the development of a “New Molecular Entity” called PF-07926307, which is to used as a “prophylactic” against COVID-19 plus influenza? What happened regarding all those other modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” made by this company, to be used against the LATEST MUTATIONS of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, such as the “2025-2026 version” of COMIRNATY? Why is Pfizer-BioNTech going all the way back to the ORIGINAL Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus contained in BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) to formulate PF-07926307?

What is going on at Pfizer-BioNTech? Does the United States government know about PF-07926307 (BNT162b2 + BNT161)? Did the “Specific terms of the agreement remain confidential” regarding the deal between the United States government and PfizerUSA reached in September 2025 include provisions that our government “looks the other way” about the activities of PfizerUSA’s co-partner, BioNTech? Does the HHS / FDA / CDC / BARDA have the complete details of the “Specific terms of the agreement remain confidential” provisions? Are the “specific details” being shared with only the “top brass” of the FDA / CDC / BARDA — and that HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., is being kept in the dark?

———————————————————————————

All current COVID-19 “vaccines” — ALL of them — MUST be pulled off the market and from use. Now.

All research and development of “new” COVID-19 “vaccines” that are in ANY form — injectable; oral; nasal; micro-needle — MUST be stopped. Now.

There MUST be complete analysis of the ingredients and mechanisms of the current COVID-19 “vaccines”, performed by impartial testing entities, and with complete results made public. Now.

THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.

Dear MAGA: 20251106 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Another selection for your post-election Thursday!

(1) One of the best SCIENCE STORIES I have ever heard. How a merchant marine cook’s crucial observation during a submarine attack in WWII, and persistence in making it known to the military, changed the course of the naval battle against German wolf-packs in the North Atlantic.

The only problem? It appears to be another AI FAKE STORY.

YES – AI is now creating very compelling FAKE HISTORY. The ultimate in FAKE VALOR.

I’m calling it THE BLUMENTHAL EFFECT.

(2) Let’s follow that up with some light entertainment! Also fictional. I kid you not!

(3) Watch some top-level chess, where the cunning “offense by evasion” of Magnus Carlsen edges out the patience of the defending champion until the champ makes enough mistakes.

(4) If you can stand to listen to a woman with pale purple hair, a shaky “inhaling laughter” voice, and a quasi-Brit American accent, but with an excellent knowledge of science fiction, then here is everything that is lovable but wrong with Star Trek’s warp drive in reality universe.

(5) AI companions. Get totally caught up with the subject in 35 minutes of fascinating and surprisingly non-exploitative video (this, despite the clickbait cover image “thumbnail” you see below, complete with trendy pale purple blonde hair and WGTTs).

OK – that’s enough. You have faithfully endured the trials of YouTube ClickBait. Your reward is NO MAS. And Thank You for your attention to this matter!

I’m so tired of hearing “Our grandparents could buy a house on one salary, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”
Yeah, because Grandma wasn’t blowin’ half her paycheck on $12 iced coffee and avocado toast, that’s why!
Back then, if they wanted coffee, they made it at home.
With grounds so strong it could remove rust. You didn’t drink it… you survived it.
And Grandma wasn’t out there “brunchin’.”
You think she had time for brunch? No!
She was at home, cooking something called whatever’s left in the house.
And don’t even bring up Uber Eats.
These people today are crying about money while living in a 4-bedroom house with two SUVs, six streaming services, and matching sleeve tattoos.
You think Grandpa had a tattoo?
Yeah it said “Korea, 1951.” And it came with nightmares, not realitic shading.
Oh, don’t even get me started on the kids.
“We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!”
No, he doesn’t! You’re giving an $1100 phone to a kid who still eats glue and boogers.
When we were kids, the family phone hung on the wall.
It had a cord long enough to jump rope with, and if you wanted privacy, you had to go stand in the pantry.
And somehow, we survived.
And the TV? There was one. One. It was in the living room, and Dad controlled it.
If he wanted to watch bowling, guess what?
You liked bowling.
Now every room’s got a 65-inch screen, the baby’s got an iPad, and you’re sitting there wondering why you can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rappers, that’s why!
Grandpa wasn’t out here leasing Teslas and buying $12 smoothies called “Detox Sunrise.”
He was driving a truck that sounded like thunder and smelled like oil and cigarettes.
They lived within their means.
Whatever Grandpa’s paycheck bought, that’s what they had.
They didn’t try to keep up with the Joneses.
They were just trying to keep the fed and a roof over their heads.
So yeah, Grandpa could buy a house on one salary.
But he also didn’t have 47 subscriptions and emotional-support crystals.
He had one support system, Grandma, who told him to suck it up and mow the yard.
Now folks are broke, tired, and stressed… and it’s not because of inflation… it’s because y’all keep ordering tacos from DoorDash like you’re royalty.
Wake up and smell the truth!

Aubergine(@aubergine)  Reply to  patfrederick  October 29, 2025 10:10

All of this is true. And the resistance to that truth is unbelievably strong.

The current younger generations were mostly raised by people who didn’t teach them that, in order to have the things their parents had attained, they would have to suffer through lean times and struggle, FIRST.

These kids thought they would graduate high school or go to college, and then immediately make the same type of money their parents made after 25 years in the work force. The kids thought they would live in a four-bedroom, three-bath house when they left their parent’s home, not the run-down apartment in the sketchy part of town their parents started out in.

Posts like the above get a bunch of meaningless statistics thrown at them, but no reality. That reality is, Starbucks really should be a treat, dinner should be at home every night with the occasional dinner out as a treat, your first car should cost $5000 max (cash for clunkers eliminated the $1000 beater), professional nails and $100 hairstyles should be for your wedding but no other time. You get a new $100 flip phone every 3-5 years, and have a subscription to Amazon Prime for free shipping and entertainment. You scrape and save and ten years after you get your first job, you put a down payment on a starter home, 1200 square feet, 3 bedrooms and a bath-and-a-half. It needs a little work; but you’re willing to spend your weekends on fixing it up, so you can barbeque in a backyard you own.

I’m 60 years old, and the above is basically my story, and that of most other people I know. I consider myself Gen X; I was born right at the very beginning of it.

Gen X people were made so self-sufficient and tough by circumstances (we are the latch-key generation; nobody took care of us) that it didn’t occur to us that we’d have to explain how to grow up and be tough to our kids. We assumed they would get it like we did. They didn’t. It’s our fault, but we really didn’t know. The school system and society took them and turned them into socialist cream puffs.

And Scott brought these to the discussion.

Trump’s HIDDEN Asia Strategy: Reversing 40 Years of American Decline

Barbara Boyd explains how Donald Trump’s recent three-day trip to Asia could reverse 40 years of outsourcing and cultural decay. She highlights ignored or misrepresented coverage by mainstream media, focusing on the significant trade and defense agreements Trump has made with countries like Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. These agreements aim to rebuild America’s productive base through advanced manufacturing, critical minerals processing, modern nuclear energy, and streamlined defense strategies. Boyd also discusses a renewed Monroe Doctrine and Trump’s approach to ending international conflicts, emphasizing a strategic shift towards fortifying the Western hemisphere and fostering economic revival.

Trump Ended 100 Years of British Control, Will 2026 Undo It All?

In this episode, Susan Kokinda discusses Mark Carney’s admission that the globalist world order has ended, highlighting Donald Trump’s significant breakthroughs in Asia that sidestepped the British Imperial system. Kokinda emphasizes that Trump’s greatest challenge lies not abroad but within the U.S., where many Republicans fail to grasp or oppose his economic nationalism. She details the key deals Trump made in Asia, his strategy against the global elite, and the necessity for a new Republican coalition that supports his vision. Kokinda calls for support and education through Promethean Action to build this coalition and secure Trump’s accomplishments against domestic and international resistance.

Societal Self-Regulation

Another Promethean Action video, their Thursday Question & Answer had an interesting tidbit at 1hr 20 mins.

Rough Transcript of one question and answer:

[QUESTION from Scott:]

The next question is going to be just trying to get a more general [and] a clearer understanding of what we mean by the institutional network of British imperial control. I think this is a historical issue that you’re going to have to spend the time to really see and [to] develop the historical thread. But I want to take this question because I think this resonates in the minds of all of our supporters. My request, if you please, is for a more detailed explanation and definition of the institutional network of British imperial control.

I think the first thing you really have to get in your head is this is not some new thing. This is a historical thread that has been developing for at minimum hundreds of years. Okay.

Explanation [or] definition of the institutional network of British imperial control so often referenced in your commentary. It seems essential that we understand precisely who and what constitutes this control as such knowledge could empower us to challenge these networks through public awareness, outcry or even targeted boycots. Ultimately, there are human faces behind these institutions. So, I say, let the unmasking begin.

Thank you, Scott, for your thoughtful insight and for your question.

So, Barbara and Bruce, your thoughts on the institutional networks of British control. I think we already give a lot and we already unmask a lot, but Bruce and Barbara, your thoughts.

Barbara Boyd:
Well, there are two elements here and I’ll emphasize one which is not really thought about or talked about by other people which is when the Round Table formed itself and what they basically said is that we’re the third iteration of the British Empire. They formed themselves around British universities namely Cambridge and Oxford and the University of London, the London School of Economics [Founded by the Fabians with funding from Lord Rothschild.] Their idea was what they call soft power. What kind of way of teaching people how to think do we propose to do? And their entire philosophical premise has been that human beings are no better than animals. That basically we are not in any way associated with the creative force of God or obligated while on this earth to forward God’s creation.

It’s two completely different worldviews of what human beings are. And they set out to corrupt every educational feature of the United States to make that the reigning philosophical view of what men and women are. That’s point one. Soft power institutions through the universities.

And I and most people at that, because they tend to think that all the secret gatherings of things like the Bilderberg Society or the Trilateral Commission or you know the Mount Peleran Society are where it’s at. Those consensus institutions are important but this whole idea of how do you think is what they call cognitive warfare.

The second aspect of it is of course central banking, you know and that includes the Federal Reserve, that includes most of Wall Street and that includes the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada and the institutions which are associated with that like BIS and the International Monetary Fund. So that’s how I’d start. But the real challenge here is to think about what do these people who we can identify in these networks, how do they think of human beings and what type of ideology are they trying to sell? And you know very, very critical stuff comes out of the Mount Pellerin Society for example which really featured libertarianism coming into the United States as a targeted strategy against the American system. There are other things which I could say but I’ll let Bruce follow up.

Bruce Director:
I think Barbara, you hit the right point. And I think the only way to really grasp this is to look at it historically. And this requires a lot of thinking. I referenced it earlier in terms of the history of the United States from 1763 on basically as a spear point of mankind’s fight to free itself once and for all from the imperial system. The British Empire is not the first empire in the world. The British Empire draws its lineage continuously all the way back through the Venetian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire, and so on and so forth. It’s a structure of sin as Pope John Paul II would have called it. And man has struggled against this for thousands of years. The United States became the first constitutional republic, a first nation state that was organized around a different idea. Not that that idea was new, but that the constitution of a nation committed to that was new and we’ve survived because we’ve maintained that fight against the British Empire. So to put the names and places on these things you really have to do it from the standpoint of history and I refer people to the books that Bob Ingram has written and Graham Lowry. Will Worse has a book out which are all available on the connections I guess through the Prometheian action website. So, you actually learn about American history. And I hope that as we enter the 2026, which is the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of the Declaration of Independence, that this subject of real American history be studied and understood by a broad swath of our citizenry. I’m quite happy that President Trump has decided to make this a real focus and we at Prometheian Action are going to do our part to bring out this element of our history which used to be well known but in the post World War II period has been obscured basically by the institutions that Barbara talked about.

……

None of what has happened during the last century and more has been by chance and I would like to enlarge on the information from Barbara and Bruce. This is from my old notes.🤓


LET’S START WITH The Tavistock Institute IN THE UK

…When and where did all this culture manipulation start?

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, psychology as a medical field really took off. While the original intent of it may or may not have been to heal people’s minds, it quickly became apparent that psychological techniques could also be used to manipulate and control people…

As the story goes, the Tavistock Clinic was formed in 1920 in London, England to research and treat victims of shell shock that occurred during the first World War….

Through the research and treatment of trauma based mental disorders, psychiatrists discovered that trauma could be used to control people’s minds. Trauma could be used on micro and macro levels.

On a micro level, people could be brought into a clinical setting and exposed to trauma, drugs (LSD) and other psychological techniques, creating a mind-controlled person. The Tavistock program led to the CIA’s MK Ultra program...

On a macro level, it was discovered trauma could be used effectively on the masses as well, constantly pushing fear on the general public through the media, with periodic traumatic events leading to a population that is mind controlled through fear...

GEE, that sounds like the Covid Plannedemic to me!


Late 1800s ???
Enter John D Rockefeller and his buddies.

Dumbing Down America

by Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld

John Dewey [who was a Fabian – GC] got his education in the new psychology under G. Stanley Hall at John Hopkins University. In 1887, at the tender age of 28, Dewey felt that he knew enough about psychology to be able to write a textbook on the subject, entitled fittingly  Psychology.

In 1894, Dewey was appointed head of the department of philosophy, psychology and education at the University of Chicago which had been established two years earlier by a gift from John D. Rockefeller.In 1896, Dewey created his famous experimental Laboratory School where he could test the effects of the new psychology on real live children.

Dewey’s philosophy had evolved from Hegelian idealism to socialist materialism, and the purpose of the school was to show how education could be changed to produce little socialists and collectivists instead of little capitalists and individualists. It was expected that these little socialists, when they became voting adults, would dutifully change the American economic system into a socialist one.

In order to do so he analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found what he believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority. High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society….

Founding of the AMA

An 1845 resolution to the New York Medical Association by Dr. Nathan S. Davis, calling for a national medical convention, led to the establishment of the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1847. 

How Rockefeller’s Oil Industry Conquered Medicine, Finance And Agriculture

The Effective Strategy That Eliminated Natural Medicine

Naturopathic-based herbal medicine was the norm, and Rockefeller set out to shift the medical industry toward using oil-derived pharmaceuticals. To this end, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in 1901…

“The fortunes of Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller financed surgery, radiation and synthetic drugs. They were to become the economic foundations of the new medical economy… The oiligarchy birthed entire medical industries from their own research centers and then sold their own products from their own petrochemical companies as the ‘cure.’”


The Rockefellers, The Flexner Report, The AMA, and their Effect on Alternative Nutritional (botanical) Medicine

John D. Rockefeller wanted to gain control of education, including the medical education systems. He did that with the help of Fred Gates. Fred Gates was a Baptist pastor, who left that post to become secretary of the American Baptist Education Society. Rockefeller was a devout Baptist himself, so the two were destined to meet. Rockefeller donated $600,000 to the Baptist-based Chicago University, under the suggestion of Fred Gates. (Now known as the University of Chicago Medical Center.)

In 1901 the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was founded. One of the names on the board of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was Simon Flexner. It was Simon Flexner’s brother, Abraham Flexnor, who had one of the biggest hands in medical education reform. (Interestingly, Abraham Flexner was born in Kentucky, one of the largest growers and suppliers of hemp during WWII.)

Abraham Flexner was on the staff of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

“As mentioned previously, the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations traditionally worked together almost as one in the furtherance of their mutual goals, and this certainly was no exception. The Flexner brothers represented the lens that brought both the Rockefeller and the Carnegie fortunes into sharp focus on the unsuspecting and thoroughly vulnerable medical profession.” (He Who Pays The Piper – Creation of the Modern Medical (drug) Establishment; G. Edward Griffin)….


Rockefeller was not content with controlling the minds of kids in school. He then went after Child Rearing practices.

The Hand that Rocked the Cradle:

A Critical Analysis of Rockefeller Philanthropic Funding, 1920-1960

Past research into the mental hygiene movement in Canada and the United States has tended to view it in isolation from co-temporary projects funded by Rockefeller philanthropy, such as mass communications research. The mental hygiene campaign aimed to modify adult-child relations by reducing the influence parents and teachers held over children’s personality development; the central aim of mass communications research was the development of conformity of opinion. One a project of social engineering, the other of social control, the two projects combined appear to have possessed considerable potential to work in concert to shift weight in the socializing matrix from families and schools to the media at the outset of the post-World War II baby boom….

In this article, I argue that Rockefeller philanthropy fundamentally controlled psychological discourse concerning child-rearing and pedagogical practices in post-World War II Canada and the United States. The philanthropy’s officers were, in essence, funding support for a particular psychological approach to matters concerning children so extensively and effectively that they in effect shaped the consensus for the “modern” child-rearing philosophy typified by Blatz and Laycock in Canada and Arnold Gesell and Benjamin Spock in the United States. Philanthropic funding supported the proponents of “mental hygiene,” providing them with institutional bases to legitimate their ideals of child rearing, and forums to present these, while marginalizing alternate ideals and alternate research into parenting and pedagogical practices by lack of funding. As a result, literature of the post-World War II period gives the appearance of almost universal expert support for “modern” child-rearing methods when, in truth, it reflects almost universal authority over child-rearing expertise by Rockefeller philanthropy….


And then the Rockefellers went after mothers. Feminism was a creation of the Rockefellers.

How The Rockefellers Re-Engineered Women

….People do not realize that feminism is mass indoctrination because they cannot identify the perpetrator, the means or the motive. Recently Aaron Russo, the producer of Bette Middler’s movies and “America: From Freedom to Fascism” identified all three confirming what I have been saying. (See this shocking 14 minute interview excerpt) While trying to recruit Russo for the CFR, Nicholas Rockefeller told him that his family foundation created women’s liberation using mass media control as part of a long-term plan to enslave humanity. He admitted they want to “chip us.” Google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” and you’ll get a half million citations. The hidden goal of feminism is to destroy the family, which interferes with state brainwashing of the young. Side benefits include depopulation and widening the tax base. Displacing men in the role of providers also destabilizes the family. A drastic paradigm shift is required to make sense of the world. The Rockefellers are part of the private central banking cartel that also controls media, defence, pharmaceutical and other cartels. To protect their monopoly of credit and wealth, they are instituting a world police state (“world government”) using the bogus 9-11 attack and endless war as a pretext. Rockefeller told Russo about this plan a year before 9-11…..

Rockefeller Foundation Funded ‘Womens Lib’ For The Same Reason The CIA Funded ‘MS Magazine’

…Probably you are not aware that most major women organizations in America were funded by Rockefeller Foundation who claims in their website, “By funding a strategic mix of organizations, institutions, and projects; the Foundation is fostering smart globalization.” Most feminist “Women Studies” funding comes from big foundations like Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation etc and of course USAID, UNIFEM and UN….

Behind the façade of “women’s rights”, Feminism teaches that heterosexual roles (wife, mother etc) are socially constructed by MEN and oppressive to WOMEN. This underscores the fact that feminism was created to destabilize the society and undermine the institution of family. Aaron Russo says, the two key reasons given by Nicholas Rockefeller were

Before women’s lib we couldn’t tax half of the population

  • Can indoctrinate kids in school at early ages. When there is no male figure in the family, kids start seeing the State as their family who provide and protect.

American feminist icon Gloria Steinem, (an ex CIA agent) proudly claims in one of her own books that CIA funded Ms Magazine with the stated goal of breaking up the families and taxing women. (Divide and conquer policy)

Nearly one in three American children is living with a parent who is divorced, separated or never-married. A study by the Pew Research Center highlights rapidly changing notions of the American family where 4 in 10 say marriage is becoming obsolete in US.

Years after the so called ‘feminist movement’, now America is facing the consequences. President Mr. Barack Obama on father’s day is calling for stable families…. 


AND THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SYSTEM WERE ALSO DESTROYED.

History, HACCP and the Food Safety Con Job

…This transformation was the result of organized plans developed by a group of highly powerful “though unelected” financial and industrial executives who wanted to drastically change agricultural practices in the US to better serve their collective corporate financial agenda. This group, called the Committee for Economic Development, was officially established in 1942 as a sister organization to the Council on Foreign Relations….

Their plan was so effective and so faithfully executed by its operatives in the US government that by 1974 the CED couldn’t help but congratulate itself in another agricultural report called“A New US Farm Policy for Changing World Food Needs”for the efficiency of the tactics they employed to drive farmers from their land.

The human cost of CED’s plans were exacting and enormous. CED’s plans resulted in widespread social upheaval throughout rural America, ripping apart the fabric of its society destroying its local economies. They also resulted in a massive migration to larger cities….


US churches as a political force for the people was attacked.

501c3 FACTS

Most churches in America have organized as “501c3 tax-exempt religious organizations.” This is a fairly recent trend that has only been going on for about fifty years. Churches were only added to section 501c3 of the tax code in 1954. We can thank Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson for that. Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping “public policy.”

Although Johnson proffered this as a “favor” to churches, the favor also came with strings attached (more like shackles). One need not look far to see the devastating effects 501c3 acceptance has had to the church, and the consequent restrictions placed upon any 501c3 church. 501c3 churches are prohibited from addressing, in any tangible way, the vital issues of the day.

For a 501c3 church to openly speak out, or organize in opposition to, anything that the government declares “legal,” even if it is immoral (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), that church will jeopardize its tax exempt status. The 501c3 has had a “chilling effect” upon the free speech rights of the church. LBJ was a shrewd and cunning politician who seemed to well-appreciate how easily many of the clergy would sell out….

It was all about gaining control and indoctrinating America’s children. America’s future.

Once mothers were removed from the home and the caring for their children, the next step was to gain control of the daycares. That was what all the trumped up charges against daycares was all about. Problem — Reaction – Solution — Got to create the problem to get people to hand over more control of their lives. In this case control of their children.

The trumped up charges against Daycares. Ironic that REAL abuse was occurring elsewhere by the Cabal and was completely covered up.

The Fells Acres Nightmare from Mark Pendergrast, Victims of Memory: Sex Abuse Accusations and Shattered Lives

Copyright © 1996 by Mark Pendergrast

But it was in the United States that the majority of the sex abuse hysteria cases occurred, and many innocent people remain in prison there.

In a case that was virtually forgotten when the first edition of “Victims of Memory” was published, three innocent people Gerald “Tooky” Amirault, now 41, his sister Cheryl LaFave, 37, and his mother, Violet Amirault, 71 were found guilty of horrendous sexual abuse and sentenced to prison in Massachusetts. Because I have become particularly well-acquainted with this situation, and another that relates to it, I hope I can help raise public awareness of these cases… The clear presumption was that the day-care providers were guilty, that these children had been so terrorized and abused that the leading questions were justified, and that to subject them to normal courtroom procedures would be to “retraumatize” them. It did not seem to occur to anyone that the children were being psychologically traumatized by the Department of Social Services, the police, and the court, and that they might sustain life-long psychic scars as a result.

Logic, in fact, had little to do with the trial. Children said that they had told their teachers they were going to a magic room, even though no teacher had heard of such a room. They told stories of attacks by a robot, being forced to eat a frog Miss Vi had killed, and being molested by clowns and lobsters. One boy told how he had been tied naked to a tree in the school yard in front of all the teachers and children. Though the teachers denied the incident, and no other child verified it, Amirault was found guilty of other offenses this child recounted —

how Tooky had raped him with a thick pointed stick which looked like a gun, for instance. [FOOTNOTE: During Tooky’s trial, the boy asserted that he had been hung upside down from the tree and forced to eat white pills; at Vi and Cheryl’s trial, however, he claimed to be right-side up and did not recall eating pills.] Even the accused man’s nickname, which derived from the sound his mother made when she chucked him under the chin as an infant, came to sound sinister and revolting in Hardoon’s mouth. “Yes, and what else did Tooky do to you?”

After a 13-day deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict. The following year, in a separate trial, his mother and sister were also convicted. For more than seven years, they have all languished in jail, losing subsequent appeals and repeatedly being denied parole….

The following article is very good and goes into implanting false memories in the children.

The “Little Rascals” ritual abuse case in Edenton, NC

“In the Little Rascals day-care-abuse case in North Carolina, one mother told reporters that it took 10 months before her child was able to “reveal” the molestation. No one at the time considered the idea that the child might have been remarkably courageous to persist in telling the truth for so long.” Carol Tavris 1

Summary:

In excess of 90 children accused a total of 20 adults with 429 instances of child sexual abuse in a day care center in Edenton NC. Among the alleged perpetrators were the sheriff and mayor. Allegations included a baby killed with a hand gun, a child being hung upside down from a tree and being set on fire. Nobody in town noticed a baby missing. Needless to say, charges were never laid against the mayor or sheriff.

Robin Byrum, Darlene Harris, Elizabeth “Betsy” Kelly, Robert “Bob” Kelly, Scott Willard Privott, Shelly Stone, and Dawn Wilson were charged with engaging in various sexual activities with children in the Kellys’ day care in 1989. Bob Kelly and Dawn Wilson were found guilty of multiple charges of child sex abuse and given long sentences. Betsy Kelly and Willard Privott pleaded “no contest” and were released. The charges against the other three were dropped. Convictions were overturned on appeal and new trials ordered. The cases were finally settled in 1999 when all charges were dropped against Kelley.

The Cases:

These charges relate to the Little Rascal’s Day Care in Edenton. It is perhaps the second most famous day care ritual abuse case in North America (after the McMartin Preschool in CA.) The PBS program Frontline has produced a series of three powerful documentary episodes on this case, called Innocence Lost. 2 It showed that the various ingredients of a typical MVMO abuse case were present in Edenton:

bulletno physical evidence that any actual abuse or killing happened.
bullethysteria by the parents, investigators and general public.
bulletlack of evidence which would have been present if the children had actually been abused.
bulletthe alleged abuse happened even as parents were coming to and fro during the day; nobody noticed anything strange at the day care center.
bulletthe children initially denied that anything “funny” happened at the day care; but the interviewers did not believe the children.
bulletafter months of extensive interviewing, using what are now known to be manipulative, suggestive techniques, children started to disclose abuse events. This was assisted by communications among parents who also grilled their children
bulletall of the documentation and tapes of the children’s initial interviews were lost or destroyed.
bullettestimony described a long string of physically impossible or highly improbable events
bulletnobody seems to have asked the logical question: how could 7 to 20 adults form a conspiracy and abuse children hundreds of times, without any child complaining or without any parent noticing something amiss?

Some of the children’s disclosures included:

bulletbeing taken to the back room of a store and sexually abused. There is a very wide opening between the back room and the rest of the store, so that any sexual abuse would have been perpetrated in the full view of customers.
bulletbeing taken on board a space ship and flown into outer space where they were abused.
bulletseeing a large fish tank where sharks were trained.
bulletbeing taken on board a ship into the ocean and abused while trained sharks swam around the boat.

During the winter of 1988-1989, Edenton police attended a Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) seminar. The first allegation of abuse followed shortly afterwards. One theory is that the first mention of abuse followed the accidental hitting of a child at the day care; another story has the first allegation following intensive questioning of a child by his mother under the guidance of a SRA course attendee.

As in other MVMO cases, the children initially denied abuse at the school. However, after repeated interrogations, they started to reveal sexual and then ritual abuse. Children were criticized or rewarded in accordance with the abuse content of their stories……

A Socialist’s point of view on US Child Care: The History of Child Care in the U.S. by Sonya Michel, Ph.D., University of Maryland

“… When it comes to public provisions for children and families, the United States compares poorly with other advanced industrial nations such as France, Sweden, and Denmark.…”

Scotland has taken it to the logical conclusion:

Every Child in Scotland to Be Supervised by State-Appointed Busybody

True danger lies in the notion that the state should decide if you are parenting your kids correctly.

…Scotland wants to treat all families as potentially abusive and appoint a “named person” (that is, a guardian) as soon as the child is born and up through age 18 to oversee the parenting. This “shadow parent” would be empowered by the government under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, which will take effect in 2016.

As Josie Appleton, founder of the U.K.’s Manifesto Club, writes in SpikedOnline:

It is based on the idea that a person who has been named by the state, touched on the shoulder, has a superior authority and insight to others. Those who have been ‘named’ are seen as better qualified to ‘safeguard’ the wellbeing of a whole nation’s children. Therefore, concern for children’s wellbeing becomes a state-appointed position.

…This is a new kind of parenting-by-surveillance…

There’s more to it, to be honest. One of the questions a lot of new moms get from pediatricians is “does your child have his or her own room” or what are the sleeping arrangements. Frankly, that’s none of their business, but they are instructed to push separate sleeping quarters. One woman I know got trounced by her pediatrician for admitting that they did a family bed at the time. (her kids are older now, so I doubt that’s the case any more.) The push for that, as well as daycare, etc., is to play with the emotional development of children. Cultures that live in one common space don’t usually have issues with emotionally unstable kids.

As a supplement to your post, Henry Makow presented some of the tactics used according to one of the people controlling one of the media vehicles. He also talks about Aaron Russo’s interview with a much younger and more civilized Alex Jones where he talks about his friendship with one of the Rockefellers and their plans for all humans.

Article can be found here: https://rense.com/general75/how.htm

Myrna Blyth was the editor in chief of “Ladies Home Journal” from 1981 to 2002. In her book /”Spin Sisters”/ (2004) she says the media sold women “a career in exactly the same drum banging way that the Happy Homemaker had been sold to their mothers.” (38)

The Illuminati undermined women’s natural loving instincts using the following mantras:

1. *Men can no longer be trusted.* Using the “Lifetime Network” as an example, Blyth concluded “all men are 1) unfaithful rats 2) abusive monsters 3) dishonest scumbags, or 4) all of the above. Women on the other hand were…ubervictims [or] flinty achievers who triumph despite the cavemen who…want to keep them in their place.” (62-63)

2. *Women are victims by virtue of their sex.* Blyth says the media sends “one message loud and clear. Because we are women, we remain victims in our private lives, at work, in society as a whole.” (156) Thus women must have a sense of grievance, entitlement and rebellion. The same tactic was used to manipulate Jews, Blacks, workers and gays. (See my “Victim as Moral Zombie”)

3. *Women should be selfish.* “Liberation and narcissism have merged,” Blyth says. Leisure now means, “time for yourself, spent alone, or perhaps with one’s girlfriends but definitely without spouse and kids…Endless articles preached the new feminist gospel, that indulging yourself is an important part of being a healthy, well adjusted woman.” (65)

4. *Sex is not reserved for love and marriage.* Magazines like Glamour and Cosmopolitan urge young women to “put out on their first date,” ogle men openly” and be an athlete in bed. There is no discussion of marriage or family. (160) Such women will not be able to trust any man enough to surrender themselves.

5. *Self-fulfillment lies in career success and not husband and family.* “The social rewards of holding down a job are critical to one’s sense of dignity and self worth,” Betty Friedan pontificated. In fact, “most work is deeply ordinary,” Blyth observes (35-36). (I’m not saying women can’t have jobs, only they shouldn’t be tricked out of having families if they want them.)

Thus many women are schizophrenic as they attempt to reconcile their natural instincts with a constant exhortation to do the opposite. The wreckage — broken families and dysfunctional people — is strewn everywhere.

At the same time, Playboy Magazine etc. aimed a similar message at men. You don’t need to get married to have sex. Marriage and children are a bore.

Today we see the results of a century plus campaign WAR against the USA. It is amazing we even have any well adjusted children!

2025.11.04 American Stories: Daily Open – Special Edition (Short Version)

We have all seen enough now to better understand if we choose to understand.

IT. IS. TIME. FOR. THIS. DISCUSSION.

Once again, for emphasis this time in a dedicated post. TRUST TRUMP as KK says frequently. You and the lives of loved ones depends upon it. What initiated this post is below. It is a link to a Clandestine post that KK brought to the daily this past Sunday.

https://bioclandestine.substack.com/p/its-time-to-nuke-the-senate-filibuster

He is echoing what I have brought several times on here. My stories about Rules, Practices & Procedures, Parts 1-3, provide examples of the game playing that aligned in opposition to the wills of We the People. The current GOP uniparty players self identify when they insist on remaining members of Club Senate.

Folks – as those know who read stories in BIMD and since with America Stories: I lobbied off and on for years at high levels of federal government on behalf of the industry in which I worked. Many Congressional members and their staffers then and now are not good people. Some lived in their own versions of personal soap operas that left them open to blackmail and extortion. Others never hid it – they were brazen and did not care.

This has been going on for over 250 years. It is human nature when people are lacking or devoid of God in their lives, the One that Carl describes in his posts. Throughout American history when one actually does the research you see the same BS antics.

Many people give lip service to God when He is beneficial to them. However, it does not translate into living the life as one who fears (loves, honors respects and is also scared of) God Himself. For example, those type people are involved as deep state and unipartyists today. However, those type also devised the filibuster in 1806 as a circumvention of the will of the people, even though some legitimately thought the will of the people was too independent and rogue for them back in their day over 250 years ago. This is not conjecture, they said so in correspondence and documents. We can read their words today.

These founding fathers faced all sorts of riots, criminal activities, insurrections pre and post Revolutionary War that – OH, WAIT – that is also happening TODAY!

The practical matter is they used it as an excuse to do what they did. The truth is after 30 years of governance they were tired of listening to windbags hold the floor for hours and days of time. Again, they said so in written documents. They were the obvious ones that circumvented the business of the people. When you read deeper into American history you see it expressed by founding fathers and those in governance that followed them time and time again. Human nature was allowed to get in the way of the will of We the People so that the minority could circumvent the will of the people to acheive their own goals and aspirations as well as those of foreign powers.

If the goal was to reduce the control of the individual floor time in governance, all they had to do was invoke a rule like the ancient Roman Senate that the talking stops at sundown and everybody goes home. Or, do one such that a Senator does not get to control the floor on any singular issue after XX period of time. Or, that on a bill scheduled vote must be conducted in XX period of time.

But that would be too easy and too common sense. Too many people could see what they really wanted and would get pissed at them if common sense solutions were in place. They could lose their phony baloney jobs.

History

Many are surprised to be informed that some of those founding fathers they revere such as George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, John Jay, etc.; actually (validly) feared insurrection and return to British rule. This led to the following being inserted into the Constitution. From Wiki (but accurate);

Only five supermajority requirements were explicitly included in the original United States Constitution, including conviction on impeachment (two-thirds of senators present),[6] agreeing to a resolution of advice and consent to ratification of a treaty (two-thirds of senators present),[7] expelling a member of Congress (two-thirds of members voting in the house in question),[8] overriding presidential vetoes (two-thirds of members voting of both houses),[9] and proposing constitutional amendments (two-thirds of members voting of both houses).[10] Through negative textual implication, the Constitution also gives a simple majority the power to set procedural rules.[2]: 1217 

Did you read that last sentence? That is what the current filibuster discussion is all about – a simple majority (that the GOP now has and the Dems previously had) with the power to set PROCEDURAL rules. The filibuster was then added through that process in 1806 along with other rules through the years.

In Alexander Hamilton’s view per Federalist #22 as it applied to the previous Articles of Confederation, he saw rules such as the filibuster that were in use later as a negative. Yet, he went on to champion the Constitution that included the clause that eventually negated his argument on the subject against the Articles of Confederation. This is also given as a reference in the same Wiki article on Filibusters.

“To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. […] The necessity of unanimity in public bodies, or something approaching it, has been founded upon a supposition that it would contribute to security. But its real operation is to embarrass the administration, destroy the government’s energy, and substitute the pleasure, caprice, or artifices of an insignificant, turbulent, or corrupt junto, to the regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority. In those emergencies of a nation, in which the goodness or badness, the weakness or strength of its government, is of the greatest importance, there is commonly a necessity for action. The public business must, in some way or other, go forward. If a pertinacious minority can control the opinion of a majority, respecting the best mode of conducting it, the majority, so that something may be done, must conform to the views of the minority; thus the sense of the smaller number will overrule that of the greater, and give a tone to the national proceedings—hence, tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good. And yet, in such a system, it is even happy when such compromises can take place: for upon some occasions things will not admit of accommodation; then the measures of government must be injuriously suspended, or fatally defeated. It is often, by the impracticability of obtaining the concurrence of the necessary number of votes, kept in a state of inaction. Its situation must always savor of weakness, sometimes border upon anarchy.”

What we see and experience is designed the way it is for a purpose. At some point we need to realize it has been our nature as a country to be the way we are in the operation of the federal government. If we do, we realize that it will not change unless We the People change what is causing it. We the People are not like our ruling class that we supposedly elect, but now know are largely appointed. The truth is our founding fathers and their successors added this particular clause to the Constitution that led to the circumvention of the will of We the People and in so doing undermined the intent and statements made in the approved Declaration of Independence that they fought a brutal war over. They thought better of their own judgment than the majority of We the People. That also explains their desire for deference to be paid elected officials over the common man. Again, they stated such in documents. The truth is the common man was not held in high regard by many of them. Except when they fought or worked for them.

Today

The rules, practices and procedures that work in opposition to the will of We the People are totalitarian responses by devious people who are benefitting at our expense. They have been upheld by BAD PEOPLE throughout our nation’s government, judiciary and globalist involveents around the world. Yet, per the Declaration the only thing that matters in America is the will of We the People.

All of the negative effects from the circumvention and criminal activities does not mean there should be rules, practices and procedures approved and used to counter them. Those are also circumventions that become two edged swords. The proper and legally correct answer has always been for supposedly elected representatives and their support staffs of the federal government to do the will of We the People.

The only way current day patriots can do that is if we stopping living in fear. Stop going along to get along. Stop with the what ifs that paralyze positive actions from being taken.

That is what PDT, his Cabinet and the white hats are trying to do. PDT clearly believes as do I that the filibuster should be terminated. He has been saying it for a decade. It and many other rules, practices and procedures are being used as weapons against potentially major positive changes in governing that could eliminate stolen elections, forever wars, economic blackmail from excessive debt, weaponization of government, an oppressive judiciary, citizen disunity, undue foreign influence, cultural perversions and so on. We do not have to concede anything to criminal Democrats. They do not ever have to return to power. Their criminal enterprise can go down into the ash heap of history just like the Federalists and Whigs. Remember that the Federalists, the party of Washington and Adams, controlled our federal government in the early years. By the end of the War of 1812 it had completely died.

However, that cannot happen if We the People agree to support the status quo.

The future of God’s people and nations dedicated to Him will always come down to personal and collective decisions to choose this (and every) day whom you will serve.

Which is why my life verse for over 30 years continues to be Joshua 24:15.

“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

We need a nation of Joshuas for what and who we face today that would destroy our nation. So what current American leader embodies the Joshua spirit in word and deed?

TRUST TRUMP.

Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. 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.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Dear KMAG: 20251103 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

staffage

noun

  • decorative accessories or additions to work of art
  • people and animals represented in a landscape painting
  • human and animal figures depicted in a scene, especially a landscape, that are not the primary subject matter of the work
  • the oil-painting equivalent of “extras” and “non-speaking roles”

Used in a sentence

Dogs have owners – cats have staff – rats have…… staffage?

MUSIC!

I could not find a song named Staffage, but I found a band called Staff. Well – almost!

THE STUFF (as opposed to THE STAFF)

(1) Are you ready to get out and vote?

This is one of the most important “off year” elections in history!

Maybe that’s why YouTube doesn’t want you watching this video about it.

You just might want to keep those Demmunists in check.

(2) Here are two voices in AI that are worth listening to. Ilya Sutskever was one of the top dudes at OpenAI. Eric Schmidt was the infamous Googler. Both have thoughts about AI.

Yeah, it’s a clickbait title – don’t let that mess with your head. The actual talk from these guys has some interesting silver linings.

Stick with GOD is my recommendation. As Luther said, we should “fear, love, and trust in God above all things.”

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW
