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.”

“Be Holy, for I am Holy”

In Hebrew, the words translated “holy” and “holiness” have to do with being “set apart,” “separate,” “different,” or “dedicated.” The absolute moral purity of God’s character sets Him apart, making Him different from every other living creature. Yet He calls His people to be holy as He is holy. Humans generally think of holiness as obeying God’s law. But, for God, holiness is not a mere action or a set of behaviors. Holiness is His essence. God is morally and ethically perfect by nature. So how can we set ourselves apart to reflect God’s holiness in the way we live?

The Bible reveals that God’s holiness of character is a model for believers’ lives and our shared communion with others. Both passages (Leviticus 19:2 and 1 Peter 1:16) and their surrounding verses stress that those who wish to replicate God’s holiness must reflect His holy nature in their relationships with other people and their sincere love for fellow believers.

In Leviticus 19:1–37, God applies the Ten Commandments to various areas of life, spelling out in great detail for the Israelites how to be holy as He is holy. They were to honor their parents, keep the Sabbath, not practice idolatry, worship and offer sacrifices properly according to God’s instructions, provide for the poor, not steal, cheat, seek revenge, and not follow pagan customs and rituals. The commands continue, covering every aspect of spiritual, moral, family, work, and community life. Included is the charge to “love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:18).

Peter also lays out how we can live in the light of God’s command to be holy as He is holy. First, he says to discipline our minds: “So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world” (1 Peter 1:13, NLT). We are to exercise self-control and stay alert both mentally and spiritually. This mental discipline requires a concentrated focus on trusting in the Lord to get us to our final destination, where we will experience the fullness of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.

Paul expresses it like this: “Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12–14, CSB). If we focus only on the short-term—our current situation—we run the risk of straying off course. But if we live with total trust that Jesus Christ will return to accomplish all that He started in us (Philippians 1:6), it will make a significant difference in how we live.

“You must live as God’s obedient children,” says Peter, “Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires” (1 Peter 1:14, NLT). When we “do not conform to the evil desires” (NIV) we had before we came to know Christ, we live in response to God’s holiness, adopting His behavior as our pattern.

This change of behavior begins on the inside with our attitude and mind-set. When our inner thought life, our purpose, and our character are changed into the image of Christ, our outward selves and outworking behavior will alter naturally. This process is the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

As part of his teaching on cultivating holiness, Peter instructs believers to “live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear” (1 Peter 1:17). Living as strangers here on earth hammers home the idea that our earthly lives with all their challenges and struggles are only temporary. Even in our pain, we can live with hope as citizens of a future heavenly reality. Reverent fear refers to humble, respectful awe of God, which motivates us to live obedient, holy lives.

Finally, Peter makes the point that living in the light of God’s holiness means demonstrating “sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart” (1 Peter 1:22, NLT).

Believers ought to be notably different from non-believers and their old selves because of their relationship with God through Jesus Christ. His holy presence in our lives produces in us a loving obedience to God’s Word, which ultimately forms God’s character in us. If we are set apart for God’s use, separated from our old, common way of living, we are following God’s command to “be holy for I am holy.”

2023·12·16 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

Speaker Johnson
Pinging you on January 6 Tapes

Just a friendly reminder Speaker Johnson. You’re doing some good things–or at least trying in the case of the budget–but this is the most important thing out there still hanging. One initial block released with the promise of more…and?

We have American patriots being held without bail and without trial, and the tapes almost certainly contain exculpatory evidence. (And if they don’t, and we’re all just yelling in an echo chamber over here, we need to know that too. And there’s only one way to know.)

Either we have a weaponized, corrupt government or we have a lot of internet charlatans. Let’s expose whatever it is. (I’m betting it’s the corrupt weaponized government, but if I am wrong, I’d like to see proof.)

A Political Statement

One of my stock jokes is to say, as I head off to the bathroom or washroom or restroom, “I’m going to go make a political statement.”

It certainly seems like urinating is a good way to make a statement about the YSM, and defecating works for politicians. Or the other way around is good too, though “#1” just never seems emphatic enough.

Maybe “#1” is just being polite, and “#2” is telling the fixtures what you really think.

Anyhow, I pretty much do plan to be polite to RINOs that electioneer or fundraise. I’ll tell them, Sorry, but I need to GO Pee…

Language Warning

In the next piece I had to discuss a particular topic. Unfortunately, I couldn’t discuss it without naming it. Therefore I apologize in advance for having to do so, and apologize to anyone offended by the sight of the name.

RINO McDaniel

[Well, perfect timing for this one to pop up in the rotation again!]

RINO McDaniel continues to infest the GOP. But RINO McDaniel isn’t the problem.

Let me be crystal clear on this, RINO McDaniel is a lower-than-whale-shit, piss guzzling ratfucking shit eating traitorous rancid syphillitic cunt. Her worth as a human being is substantially less than zero, any oxygen sucked into her lungs is wasted, and it would be, no matter what job she had.

I fear I haven’t been clear enough, but that will have to suffice.

But she is not the problem…or rather, she would not be a problem were it not for others. She’d still be as I have described, but we wouldn’t know who she is and would not care, because she could do no damage. She’d just be anonymous human refuse.

No, the real problem is the fact that a majority of the 168 top GOP people voted for her. And now that has happened five times so they cannot claim they didn’t know what she was.

In spite of the fact that under her “leadership” the party has deliberately sabotaged the will of its base, has deliberately refused to challenge blatant election fraud, had gone out of its way to ensure certain candidates do not get nominated, has diverted donor money to namby-pamby candidates who have all the electoral appeal of a puddle of dog vomit…and in general has done nothing whatsoever to help fix the problems that plague America.

However that last is to be expected; I cannot expect anyone who IS the problem to help FIX the problem.

RINO McDaniel would be powerless without an entire party leadership of the same mind as her. They want this dismal performance; they want to ignore the party base.

If she were to drop dead this instant, it would solve nothing as someone just like her would be elected by those same pustulous people.

According to Charlie Kirk, about 55 people voted against her, 10-12 wanted something different but were too chickenshit to do the right thing, and roughly 100 people voted for her enthusiastically, and even had the unmitigated gall to complain to Kirk about US. Fuck ’em. Rusty 12 gauge bore brushes would be too good for these arrogant pricks and cunts.

Every single one of those hundred is just as bad as she is. In other words, they are all worse than I described at the beginning of this piece. And no doubt those people in turn have people who supported them to be state party chairs and whateveritis they call the other two people from each state and territory who were voting.

It’s time to face up to the fact that the Republican party is effectively owned by the shit-eating RINOs. We’ve got more work to do, a lot more work, to make the GOP an instrument for the restoration of the United States of America. And that’s in addition to cleaning up our elections.

There’s no point in cleaning up elections just to elect ratfucking RINOs.

OK, hopefully now you will have some inkling of my true attitude towards RINOs. Sorry that words were inadequate to give you the full picture.

The Real Fascist is His Fraudulency Joe Biden*

*Or whoever has his hand rammed up that meat puppet’s ass.

Brandon (which I will use as a term for whoever is the power behind the Porcelain Throne) has thrown down the gauntlet…but in a way where most of America will never see it. The networks didn’t carry his tirade. CNN air brushed it (or whatever you call editing the red background) for its five viewers (who aren’t trapped in airports).

Luckily for me I live in Colorado, and therefore, despite my best efforts, I probably didn’t vote for Donald Trump.

Of course, for this purpose who I actually did try to vote for will be essential, and they undoubtedly know.

Come and get us, asswipes!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h6ZZ28QtX4

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Small Government?

Many times conservatives (real and fake) speak of “small government” being the goal.

This sounds good, and mostly is good, but it misses the essential point. The important thing here isn’t the size, but rather the purpose, of government. We could have a cheap, small tyranny. After all our government spends most of its revenue on payments to individuals and foreign aid, neither of which is part of the tyrannical apparatus trying to keep us locked down and censored. What parts of the government would be necessary for a tyranny? It’d be a lot smaller than what we have now. We could shrink the government and nevertheless find it more tyrannical than it is today.

No, what we want is a limited government, limited not in size, but rather in scope. Limited, that is, in what it’s allowed to do. Under current circumstances, such a government would also be much smaller, but that’s a side effect. If we were in a World War II sort of war, an existential fight against nasty dictatorships on the brink of world conquest, that would be very expensive and would require a gargantuan government, but that would be what the government should be doing. That would be a large, but still limited government, since it’d be working to protect our rights.

World War II would have been the wrong time to squawk about “small government,” but it wasn’t (and never is) a bad time to demand limited government. Today would be a better time to ask for a small government–at least the job it should be doing is small today–but it misses the essential point; we want government to not do certain things. Many of those things we don’t want it doing are expensive but many of them are quite eminently doable by a smaller government than the one we have today. Small, but still exceeding proper limits.

So be careful what you ask for. You might get it and find you asked for the wrong thing.

Political Science In Summation

It’s really just a matter of people who can’t be happy unless they control others…versus those who want to be left alone. The oldest conflict within mankind. Government is necessary, but government attracts the assholes (a highly technical term for the control freaks).

A Few Things We Cannot Blame on His Fraudulency

I am pretty sure Joe Biden had nothing whatsoever to do with the 30 Years War that ran from 1618-1648 and probably killed about a third of the people then living in what is now Germany.

Nor did he cause the collapse of either Roman empire (Western, 476 CE, Eastern 1453 CE). Nor the ignominious failure of most of the Crusades. Nor the collapse of Bronze Age civilization around 1200 BCE (including the collapse of the Minoans and the blowup of Santorini).

However, my utter lack of ability to imagine how he could possibly be responsible for these things is not a valid argument against them, so I await correction if appropriate.

His Truth?

Again we saw an instance of “It might be true for Billy, but it’s not true for Bob” logic this week.

I hear this often, and it’s usually harmless. As when it’s describing differing circumstances, not different facts. “Housing is unaffordable” can be true for one person, but not for another who makes ten times as much.

But sometimes the speaker means it literally. Something like 2+2=4 is asserted to be true for Billy but not for Bob. (And when it’s literal, it’s usually Bob saying it.) And in that sense, it’s nonsense, dangerous nonsense. There is ONE reality, and it exists independent of our desires and our perceptions. It would go on existing if we weren’t here. We exist in it. It does not exist in our heads. It’s not a personal construct, and it isn’t a social construct. If there were no society, reality would continue to be what it is, it wouldn’t vanish…which it would have to do, if it were a social construct.

Now what can change from person to person is the perception of reality. We see that all the time. And people will, of course, act on those perceptions. They will vote for Trump (or try to) if their perception is close to mine, and vote against Trump (and certainly succeed at doing so) if their perception is distant from mine (and therefore, if I do say so, wrong). I have heard people say “perception is reality” and usually, that’s what they’re trying to say–your perception of reality is, as far as you know, an accurate representation of reality, or you’d change it.

But I really wish they’d say it differently. And sometimes, to get back to Billy and Bob, the person who says they have different truths is really saying they have different perceptions of reality–different worldviews. I can’t argue with the latter. But I sure wish they’d say it better. That way I’d know that someone who blabbers about two different truths is delusional and not worth my time, at least not until he passes kindergarten-level metaphysics on his umpteenth attempt.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

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

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

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

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

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

(Paper) Spot Prices

Kitco “Ask” prices. Last week:

Gold $2,005.50
Silver $23.07
Platinum $927.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $4,950.00

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

Gold $2,020.90
Silver $23.97
Platinum $950.00
Palladium $1204.00
Rhodium $4,950.00

Down, then up, and closing down again…but still a net increase for the week if you can stomach the roller coaster. On the other hand palladium is going like gangbusters! It went up 66 bucks on Friday alone.

One person here commented on the fact that it appears the gold price is being suppressed artificially, advocating for people to get into bitcoin.

I don’t see bitcoin as viable for the long term. There are two individuals who hold the lion’s share of the bitcoin, and I’d hate to see them decide to cash in and dump it. That ever present fear will probably dictate agaiinst it being a world standard (plus it’s way too volatile in any case). There’s even worse potential for manipulation here than there is with gold. At least in principle there are plenty of places to find more gold; it’s just not easy.

MEME STASH:

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

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

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

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

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

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates, 17`We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’ 18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon’; 19the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

PAVACA’s Top 12 List of Damages the COVID-19 “Vaccines” Can Do to the “Vaccine” Recipient

The above is an image of Father Christmas from a vintage postcard.

The following may be a bit “heavy” — please regard it as a kind of rich “Christmas Pudding” of COVID-19 “vaccine” knowledge base. Not a “lump of coal!”

Just in time for Christmas, Yours Truly presents a list of what she considers to be the “Top 12” types of damage that the COVID-19 “vaccines” can do to the body of the “vaccine” recipient. This list has been gathered from the 1600+ hours of investigating “all things COVID-19” that Yours Truly has done since March 2020. Therefore, it is only her opinion. People who read through the report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA on 30 April 2021, regarding the over 1,000 serious adverse events medical conditions that the company’s COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, caused in persons who took this “vaccine” IN FEWER THAN THREE MONTHS after the FDA granted the initial EUA for this “vaccine” in December 2020 for its use in the United States, may come up with “Top Lists” of their own. The report can be found here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, BNT162b2 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Events Reports. The APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, found at the end of the report, lists these serious adverse events conditions reports that BNT162b2 caused in “vaccinated” persons.

However, what is NOT opinion is that the FDA then knew, on 30 April 2021, that the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 (actually, an untried gene therapy injection), was capable of damaging the body of the “vaccine” recipient in over 1,000 different ways, including the ways on Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List..” However, instead of performing its regulatory (and moral and ethical) obligations to immediately pull BNT162b2 off the market and out of use until the situation could be further investigated, the FDA chose to CONTINUE the EUA that it granted in December 2020 for BNT162b2. Not only that, but the FDA went ahead and granted “full approval” for the use of the European version of BNT162b2, called COMIRNATY, in the United States. Not only that, but the FDA granted EUA’s for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “bivalent vaccine” to be used in the United States. Finally, in the spring of 2023, the FDA quietly stopped all use of BNT162b2 in the United States — in Yours Truly’s opinion, after mounting reports of serious adverse events, including deaths, being caused by this “vaccine” were beginning to circulate widely and to be confirmed by professional researchers and by doctors — and substituted the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech (and the Moderna) “booster vaccines” for the Omicron variant. In the summer of 2023, the FDA granted EUA’s for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and for the Moderna “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine”, which had only been tested on mice.

Here is Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List”: The first nine, from the APPENDIX 1. cited above:

Death: neonatal and Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (page 3 and page 8); Myocarditis and Pericarditis (page 6 and page 7); Stroke (Cerebral artery embolism page 2; Cerebral thrombosis, page 2); Thrombotic Stroke (page 9), among other types; THIRTY different types of Autoimmune disorders (page 2); FORTY different types of Herpes disorders (page 4 and page 5); THIRTY-PLUS different types of Liver disorders (page 4); TWENTY-FIVE different types of Immune System disorders (page 5); SIXTEEN different types of Neurological (brain and/or central nervous system) disorders (page 6); and, COVID-19 and COVID-19 Pneumonia (page 3).

As an example, here is a handy-dandy image of page 4 of the APPENDIX 1., with Yours Truly’s notes:

To round out the “Top 12 List” of COVID-19 “vaccine” damage to the body of the recipient, there are these three:

One: Heart tissue and lung tissue damage / destruction: Please refer to: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, by Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD; Two: Fetal / Neonatal disorders, including 1p36 deletion syndrome (also listed on page 1 of the APPENDIX 1.): Please refer to the following regarding 1p36 deletion syndrome: https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/1p36-deletion-syndrome/ (more on this condition below); and, Three: Cancer induced with the assistance of the SV40 cancer promoter DNA that has been recently discovered in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” (more on this below): Please refer to the following: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/mjc97, “DNA fragments detected in monovalent and bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada: Exploratory dose response relationship with serious adverse events”, David Speicher, Jessica Rose, Kevin McKernan, et al. From lines 94-95 of this paper: “McKernan, et al., found SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori [DNA], and SV40 polyA signal sequences in the Pfizer vaccines.” The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is also in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” that were used in the United States: https://rumble.com/v3r1pqf-vaccine-adulteration-wkevin-mckernan-byram-bridle-chris-martenson-steve-kir.html, beginning at 3:32 in the video. Please also refer to the letter of December 2023 from Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, to the directors of the FDA and the CDC: www.floridahealth.gov/about/_documents/12-06-2023-DOH-Letter-to-FDA-RFI-on-COVID-19-Vaccines.pdf. Yours Truly will posit that, since the modRNA + its spike protein and the “Process 2” manufacturing method for the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” by this company in use in the United States are both based on its original “vaccine” formulations (BNT162b2 and the “booster and bivalent vaccines”), it appears that this opens up the possibility that the SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is present in this “vaccine” also. Important: The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” is not the entire code, only a part of it. In and of itself, this “partial code” likely would not cause cancer; however, it can be involved in the general damage / destruction that the COVID-19 “vaccines” do to the “vaccine” recipient’s body, which can, in turn, be involved in the onset of cancer, or the re-emergence of cancer already in remission, in that person’s body. In addition, Pfizer-BioNTech DID NOT TELL the Canadian health authorities, nor, apparently, the FDA in the United States, about the SV40 issue.

About the 1p36 deletion syndrome caused by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: This is particularly troubling, since it effects UNBORN children and THE SPERM AND THE EGGS OF THE “VACCINATED” PARENTS. 1p36 deletion syndrome is a multi-faceted condition that negatively affects fetal development. Infants born with this condition have severe intellectual difficulties; weak muscle tone; have vision, hearing, and heart issues; and either do not speak, or can only speak a limited vocabulary; among other things. Please refer to the MedlinePlus link, above, for further information. It has been proven that large amounts of the dangerous lipid nanoparticles AND the enhanced spike protein + its modRNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” migrate to, and lodge in, two important areas of the recipient’s body — the OVARIES and the TESTES. Please refer to the image below, directly from Pfizer-BioNTech, on page 8 of a document that the company gave to the FDA on 21 January 2021. The document is called BNT162b2 2.6.5 Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary. It is available through https://phmpt.org/.

Please also refer to this graphic, which shows what the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do in the pregnant mother’s body and in the body her unborn child or her nursling child (this is from a CDC presentation):

1p36 deletion syndrome is “...caused by a deletion of genetic material from a specific region in the short (p) arm of chromosome 1…Most cases of 1p36 deletion syndrome are not inherited.” (per the MedlinePlus link, above.) Think about that.

Three “Christmas Bonuses” to to along with the “Top 12 List”: One: The COVID-19 “vaccines” can, and do, cause onset of psychosis in “vaccinated” persons. Please refer to the following: https://doi.org/10.24869/psyd.2022.377, “First Episode of Psychosis Following the COVID-19 Vaccination — A Case Series”, Tonka Borovina, et al.; Two: The risk of mortality increases for the “vaccinated” person for each injection they take of a COVID-19 “vaccine.” Please refer to the following: www.theburningplatform.com/2023/12/10/newly-leaked-data-shows-just-how-dangerous-the-covid-vaccines-are/; and, Three: The damage / destruction of the “vaccine” recipient’s immune system and connections to what is called “turbo-cancers” that this induces. Please refer to the following: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/igg4-and-cancer-a-mechanism-of-action; and, to https://vigilantnews.com/post/turbo-cancer-death-from-turbo-cancers-were-in-trouble-says-dr-ryan-cole/.

A final note on the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines” by both Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna: These apparently do include the ingredients (although in smaller amounts) of the original modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” made by each company (BNT162b2 by Pfizer-BioNTech; and, mRNA-1273 by Moderna), with additional elements of the Omicron XBB 1.5 variant lineage. Please refer to the following: www.fda.gov/media/167211/download, page 39 (Pfizer-BioNTech); www.fda.gov/media/167208/download, page 34 (Moderna); and, https://covid19.nih.gov/covid-19-vaccines.

As an aside, in case readers hear someone “congratulating themselves” for their taking either the Novavax or the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccines”, because they believed that somehow these “vaccines” are “safer” than those of Pfizer-BioNTech or of Moderna: The Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” uses the same modRNA + its spike protein as in the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccines.” The difference with the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is “marinated” in an insect culture, with the resulting modRNA “harvested” and mixed with “adjuvants” made from soap tree bark; this “vaccine” also uses lipid nanoparticles (LNPs.). The Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccine” was removed from use (revoked) in the United States by the FDA in May 2023. However, persons who took this “vaccine” prior to May 2023, are at risk for Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia, as listed on the “black letter warning” area on the (revoked) FDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for this “vaccine.” Please refer to the following: for the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/159897/download, page 33; www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/healthu/2022/08/09/novavax-vaccine-how-its-different-and-how-it-works; and, for the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) revoked COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/146304/download, page 1.

Yours Truly will make it clear she believes that COVID-19, in its variants forms, is still a threat to health. Since one is a concerned citizen, not a healthcare practitioner, one can only offer the following thoughts:

First: it is of primary importance that all people have, and maintain, the best level of personal health and immunity that is possible; “un-vaccinated” people have a primary responsibility here to themselves. Second: It is of primary importance that all “un-vaccinated” people follow a protocol for prophylaxis against COVID-19, such as those outlined at https://covid19criticalcare.com/, and including judicious exposure to sunlight and daily mild to moderate exercise. Third: It is of primary importance that all people follow “common sense” approaches, such as washing the hands, and staying away from sick people if possible. Fourth: It is of importance that “vaccinated” people know about various protocols to try and mitigate the dangerous effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” at work in their bodies; https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/. Fifth: It is of great importance to have and keep a positive connection with a Supreme Being.

“Then will you know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32

It is past time, in Yours Truly’s opinion, to bring to justice those who were/are involved in the development and manufacture of the COVID-19 “vaccines”; and those in the FDA / CDC / AMA, and other medical agencies and organizations, who either know, should have known, or knew of, the dangers of these “vaccines” — but still continue to push them. Some examples: Albert Bourla, DVM (CEO of Pfizer Inc.); Stephane Bancel (CEO of Moderna); Alex Gorsky (CEO of Johnson & Johnson until 2022); Anthony Fauci, MD (former head of the NIAID); Francis Collins, MD (former head of the NIH); Janet Woodcock, MD (former Acting Commissioner of the FDA); Rochelle Walensky, MD (former Director of the CDC); Peter Daszak, CEO of EcoHealth Alliance; Robert Califf, MD (current Commissioner of the FDA); Mandy Cohen, MD (current Director of the CDC); Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, (current head of the AMA); and, Ralph Baric, PhD, of the Baric Lab at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

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

  1. No food fights

  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-10

1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. 8None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” 10God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

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

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

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

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

Word of The Week:

frameshift

also known as

ribosomal frameshift

noun or verb

Ribosomal frameshifting, also known as translational frameshifting or translational recoding, is a biological phenomenon that occurs during translation that results in the production of multiple, unique proteins from a single mRNA.[1] The process can be programmed by the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA and is sometimes affected by the secondary, 3-dimensional mRNA structure.[2] It has been described mainly in viruses (especially retroviruses), retrotransposons and bacterial insertion elements, and also in some cellular genes.[3]

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

Wolf’s easy description

Imagine that you had a simple language where almost any possible combination of the letters actually meant something, and there’s almost no punctuation, so it’s really hard to see where sentences start and stop. But thankfully, all the words are the same length. You just read all the words as that length, and everything makes sense.

What frameshifting means, is you accidentally skip ahead or behind, and you’re off-track. Therefore, if you accidentally skip a letter or two, you can still keep reading words, and you’re reading a completely different story.

So you say “AHA – yes, there will be words, but it won’t make sense in combination. It will create right words that are nonsense in combination, like the text of really bad spam, so you’ll know that it’s not right.”

Exactly.

That’s what the body starts doing. Creating nonsense proteins. And just like spam, these spam proteins get sent around in your body anyway, firing up the immune system. Possibly firing up immunity against your own body, should important things in it look anything like the spam.

Used in a sentence

“If the frameshifting occurs anywhere near the end of the sequence (3’UTR) you will skip over the stop codons and read into human peptides. Spike-Human peptides present an autoimmunity risk.”

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.”

Sacrificial Kindness

H/T to the Shovel Lady.

During this ongoing and interminable political season, most of us probably have developed a large mental list of people who supported policies that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths from COVID, the grooming of our children, the theft of our elections, the invasion of our southern border, the loss of our energy independence, the defunding of our law officers, the closure of our businesses, the crime and destruction in our cities, and other destructive liberal policies, and now wish us harm . . . we now consider them our enemies, and want to see some kind of penalty levied.

They supported policies that did us harm, so we now want to see some harm befall them . . . but is this the attitude that we should be holding? Y’know, something like an eye for an eye?

According to Proverbs 25:21–22, the Lord would have us treat our enemies with kindness and generosity: “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.” This passage states the paradoxical kingdom truth that the way to deal with an enemy is to do him good.

Elisha the prophet carried out a similar kindness for the Aramean army when they came against Israel, setting food and drink before the troops and then sending them home. After that, they stayed away from Israel (2 Kings 6:21–23; cf. 2 Chronicles 28:15). Old Testament law even commanded that an Israelite return his enemy’s ox or donkey if it strayed and give aid to his enemy’s ailing beast of burden (Exodus 23:4–5).

Heap burning coals on someone’s head is an expression associated with punishment in the Bible (Psalm 11:6; 140:10). The idea is that under the heat and pressure of applied kindness, the person will feel ashamed, regret his actions, and repent. The phrase could have originated from an ancient Egyptian propitiation ritual in which a person guilty of a crime was made to carry a basin of burning embers on his head as a symbol of his repentance. The goal of treating our enemies with kindness is to bring them to a place of conviction about their wrongdoing and, thus, cause them to repent.

In Romans 12:9–21, the apostle Paul cited Proverbs 25:21–22 to show that we overcome evil through love and goodness. He taught, “Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them” (verse 14, NLT). “Never pay back evil with more evil” (verse 17, NLT). “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, ‘I will take revenge; I will pay them back,’ says the LORD. Instead, ‘If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.’ Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good” (verses 19–21, NLT).

Our instinctive human reaction to being wronged is to retaliate against our enemies. Yet, such a response is prohibited to followers of Christ. Jesus taught, “Do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also” (Matthew 5:39). As Christians, we are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:43–48). We conquer evil by doing what is good, and we win over our enemies by loving them and treating them with kindness and compassion.

In His great Sermon on the Mount, Jesus called His disciples to be agents of peace in this world: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:9–12).

There are reasons why Christians should not take revenge. First and foremost, God has made it expressly clear in Scripture that it is His job to punish sin (Deuteronomy 32:35, 41; Ecclesiastes 12:14). And, since God wants “all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth,” Christians are to lead “peaceful and quiet” lives, so they don’t hinder the work of the gospel (1 Timothy 2:1–4). When we perform God’s job of avenging ourselves and punishing our enemies, we run the risk of bringing harm to the cause of the gospel. But when we love our enemies sincerely and sacrificially, God will honor and reward us.

For a Christian, the best way to defeat an enemy is to turn that enemy into a brother or sister in Christ. Romans 2:4 says that God’s kindness is intended to lead people to repentance. It stands to follow that our kindness to an enemy might also help bring that person to repentance. Treating our enemies with unexpected benevolence and generosity will have a disarming and discomforting effect, with the potential of leading them to remorse, repentance, and salvation in Jesus Christ.

God sacrificed Jesus, His Son, part of Himself, for us while we were still His sin-filled enemies. Shouldn’t we, as a minimum, make a determined effort to follow His teaching and example in our own lives to our perceived enemies?

2023·12·09 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

Speaker Johnson: A Reminder.

January 6 tapes. A good start…but then nothing.

Were you just hoping we’d be distracted by the first set and not notice?

Are you THAT kind of “Republican”?

Are you Kevin McCarthy lite?

What are you waiting for?

I have a personal interest in this issue.

This Man is Pissed!

And if you aren’t…what the hell is wrong with you?

Is This Our Anthem?

Or at least our song to march to?

I’m sure most of you know I don’t believe in “devolution” or any variant of “we’re really still in charge” and certainly not the ones that come with “They’re waiting for everyone to wake up.”

No, I don’t think the good guys are in charge. But that makes it even more necessary that people wake up.

This might be the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of our age. (Or perhaps the recent trafficking movie was it. Or maybe both.)

Certainly there seem to be a huge number of people who are finally having the light bulb turning on when they hear this song.

Joining The Herd Of Lemmings

I’ve had cause to consider a few things. Maybe we’re going about it the wrong way, and we need to ditch Trump

Yeah, NO

Trump all the way! Why? Because being hated by the people who hate him is a sign of impeccable character, that’s why.

The haters can go fuck themselves with rusty twelve gauge bore brushes. I’d prefer ten gauge but that’s kind of scarce, so…I’m willing to compromise.

The RINO’s Dilemma

The RINOs who who have burrowed in and taken over most GOP organizations, from the state down to local organizations, have quite a dilemma on their hands, and most of them have their heads too far up their asses to realize it.

OK, I’m not talking about the liberal in a Republican area, who knows they’re in the wrong party, but is there because it’s the only game in their town; they hope to capture a nomination someday, at which point they’re guaranteed to be elected…otherwise, they never will be. These people are a hazard in any heavily conservative area.

No, I’m talking about the guys who are a little bit conservative and want to do some good by going into politics, and they’re in a closely matched area, closely enough that they can join the party they are most aligned with and still have a chance. They think the Democrats…particularly the ones who end up running for office…are nuts.

They don’t think much better of the Deplorable types, either. A bunch of bumpkins whose hearts are in the right place, mostly…OK a bit extreme. But they think Deplorables can’t understand that first you have to get elected, then work within the system to change things…a slow process. They genuinely want many of the things Deplorables want…just not as much. The government is spending too much. Or they need to spend money on highways instead of welfare for illegal immigrants. But they want to work within the system to get these things done.

Or maybe they think things are pretty close to ideal right now, and they want to nail it in place.

The problem is, that means they don’t stand for anything in particular. And it shows. They’re about as unappetizing to the electorate as a puddle of dog vomit. The folks in the middle, who they think they are appealing to because they themselves are not extreme, would honestly prefer a clear-spoken radical to someone who qualifies everything they say to the point where they sound like they don’t believe anything at all.

The problem these “Mild RINOs” have, is they just can’t see that. And the reason they just can’t see that, is their entire sense of self-worth is tied up in not seeing that. In their minds, they’ve worked tirelessly for their party, to keep those crazy Democrats out…only to have to constantly fight with a small number of crazy Republicans–who are only liabilities if they end up as candidates. They’ve fought the good fight, and if they can just find the right candidate, someone with some charisma, they might stop the crazies…without being too beholden to the OTHER crazies. In the meantime it’s not working. What’s a responsible guy in politics to do?

They simply cannot understand that the Republicans can’t succeed as the party of nothing in particular. Not really in the past, and certainly not today when people are starting to realize that no matter what they do in the voting booth, the country is still about to fly off a precipice. If they did see it, they’d suddenly have two choices: Go away and let the GOP succeed, or stay and fight. But “go away” isn’t really an option, because what’s the point of having a party now owned by the crazies, win?

Well, they have a dilemma…and WE, therefore have a problem. And we would have that problem even IF they realized that they had a problem…that they were the problem.

No one ever thinks they are the bad guy. Even Epstein probably thought he was the good guy. Right up to the moment where he didn’t kill himself.

So if you ever wonder why these unappetizing dufuses cling on even when their fingernails are being left behind…that’s why. They don’t understand no one wants them, and can’t imagine that no one should want them. And oftentimes their greatest pride is in all the hard work they’ve done for the party. They’re not going to give that up; it’d be psychological suicide.

If you’ve worked with these people, there’s a good chance you like them and consider some of them your friends. But even if so…we’re going to have to give them a good, hard shove. Because America is more important than those milquetoasts’ egos.

Justice Must Be Done

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

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

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

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

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

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

Spot (i.e., paper) Prices

Last week:

Gold $2,072.00
Silver $25.52
Platinum $944.00
Palladium $1026.00
Rhodium $4,800.00

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

Gold $2,005.50
Silver $23.07
Platinum $927.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $4,950.00

Gold went on a really wild ride this week. It broke through $2100 in early trading Monday, before closing down that day. It seemed to be settling in at $2,025 or so but today it took almost a $24 hit. That’s not unusual for Fridays. If you have a big enough position that you don’t get eaten alive on the spread (which for us mortals is a lot more than the dollar an ounce that Kitco indicates), you could probably make money just by selling gold early each Friday and then buying it back late in the day. Sometimes you’d lose, but usually you’d win.

Palladium continues its long term drop; while rhodium seems to have found a new level…quite a bit lower than $30K. Silver took a large hit (almost 10 percent) this week.

Another Voice On Rocketry and Orbits

A while ago I did a series on orbital mechanics. I just discovered this channel on YouTube where the difference between “in space” and “in orbit” are explained; why “zero g” or “freefall” or “microgravity” is not the same as “no gravity” and so on. His visuals make a lot of things I tried to get at, very clear.

His channel has a lot of other material, too, largely on current technology in rocketry. (I know he reminded me of a few things I had forgotten over the last 30 years.) Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the topic.

Fuck Joe B*d*n

Due to complaints about foul language, I’ve censored the most objectionable word in the title of this section.

B*d*n, you don’t even get ONE scoop of ice cream today.

(Please post this somewhere permanent, as it will continue to be true; the SOB will never deserve a scoop.)

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

China is in the White House

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

Joe Biden is Asshoe

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

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Joe Biden Didn’t Win

乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
