“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.
Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.
Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.
Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Get Smart – Buy a Globe!
When I was trying to get somebody to take DePat’s Tuesday open thread – meaning THIS thread – and there were no takers, I toyed with the idea of turning this open into a kind of comedy hour. The satire would be brutal – brutal enough that somebody would quickly decide to shut me up by volunteering to take the open. OR SO I HOPED!
I was going to call myself Flat Earth Wolf, and I planned to ferociously but facetiously advocate everything that most people here disagreed with, if not depise. Flat earth, no virus, deep state Trump, woke right – the worse, the better!
Yeah, at first it sounded kinda fun, but then I realized that it would just drive people away. And even I wouldn’t enjoy it.
SIGH.
Eventually, I just decided to use this open to post my own honest opinions about things. The beauty of that is, if somebody disagrees with me, they only have to volunteer to take the open to shut me up – but I don’t have to be funny or interesting, which is work.
I can just spout off and state my piece – and that is exactly what I’m going to do!
Now, as you have seen, I’ve spent a lot of time being “fair” to flat earth, by making sure people who want to post any side of any debate can do so here – and that is still happening. Most of the time, I’m encouraging people to post views that may oppose not only my own views, but everybody else’s, too.
But it’s time to be more….. how shall I say….. “complete” about things.
I try to be “nice” about a lot of “science” that “has issues”. I just try to smile and not pull out any deadly weapons of argumentation.
No serrated blades. No 100-round clips. No razor-studded baseball bats. Maybe a hanky. Yes. A perfumed hanky. Cough. Cough. Pardon me!
WELL – NOT TODAY, AND NOT RIGHT HERE, AND NOT RIGHT NOW.
¿Comprende?
Pardon me for just one moment. I’m gonna be tougher about science. Because we have to be tough. We are up against a very organized force.
The Yellow Berets, also known as Public Health Service trainees, were a group of physicians who participated in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Associate Training Program during the Vietnam War era. They were often derogatorily referred to as “Yellow Berets” by supporters of the war who viewed them as avoiding military service.
We are up against some really bad people, who are fully prepared to tell any lie for their purposes. So this opposing army – OUR army – can’t tolerate weak, wrong, and misled science in the forward combat positions. SURE – if you want to work on the base back in safe territory, you can believe all the bad and broken science you want. But if you want to get out in front, you have to subject your own biases to the relentless sharpening forces of TRUTH – and in particular EVIDENCE.
Some things are very certain out in the front lines. One of them is that this planet is a sphere, roughly.
NOW – like most other professional scientists, I haz science skilz in a lot of different areas, because most true scientists are like that. We don’t turn off the science when we walk out of school or job – and our opinions can be particularly relevant in looking at other people’s “expert” stuff, and asking terrible, sharp, venomous questions that the “experts” in those areas are hiding from, or pretending don’t exist.
Much “organization” in current, problematic, sick, “mainstream” science is done to insulate compromised insiders from pesky intelligent outsiders.
Decorum, you know. That’s it. Decorum.
Well, too bad.
BUT we have to hold ourselves to the same revolutionary standards.
Yadig? Of course! What’s good for vaccines, is good for “no virus”, “flat earth”, and many other things.
Globe Earth Wolf has a recommendation that will ultimately test your faith in God, by beating on it. He’s gonna BEAT your armor until it is HARDER, and the first beat-down is that you need to buy an actual globe and STUDY IT.
They’re CHEAP AS DIRT. Most are made in CHYYYNA. But you still have to buy one. I don’t care where it’s made. BUY A GLOBE. And if you already have one, pull it out of the closet, attic or basement.
Buy one at a garage sale, if you have to.
I recommend buying a globe that is at least 12 inches in diameter, and is mounted so that the tilt of Earth’s axis relative to the sun is clearly demonstrable.
Blue oceans which are highly differentiated in color from the land masses are very helpful. Political boundaries are somewhat immaterial, although they do help you LOCATE things more quickly and precisely, and if they are current, the globe can be used to increase your current geopolitical understanding. On the other hand, a vintage globe can be useful for more historical understanding. In either case, I recommend blue oceans, because some vintage globes hide this physically useful truth, by making everything somewhat off-white, sepia and tan, simply to look good on furniture, as opposed to BEATING ON YOUR BRAIN, which is my purpose.
What I am doing is actually a stupid trick from science – a silly secret among the “top men”. And top women, but let’s not get TOO bogged down in DEI.
You see, MODELS – simple physical models – are behind so much of the best science and so many of the best scientists. I have watched this throughout my entire life, and it’s hilarious. Good models are what won Watson and Crick the Nobel Dynamite & Bankster Prize for DNA, and Doudna and Charpentier the same for CRISPR-Cas9. Good models are how all the best work on C60/Buckyballs/Fullerenes was done.
Good models are how stereochemistry was explained in the late 19th century. Good models are – over and over – how organic chemistry and then biochemistry were worked out in the 19th and 20th centuries.
When I went to school with a bunch of scary smart people, I quickly realized that I could use my cheap plastic molecular model set, which I was ironically forced to buy, but wisely chose to actually use, to find all sorts of science which had apparently evaded older students and even our professors for years. Simple, stupid, cheap, plastic and aluminum, “straws and jacks” (not even balls and sticks) was all it took to figure out realities that would ALWAYS show up in chemical behavior, spectroscopy, and quantum mechanical calculations.
I would SHOW PEOPLE this stuff with models – and you could always tell the winners from the losers by how fast they would start using their own “required but never used” model set to figure things out – by how carefully (or stupidly and carelessly) they would cut their little bonds – by how carefully or carelessly they would grab the right “jack” to get the right angles at the atoms – by how strongly they would reason past the limitations of the cheap models – and by how quickly they would spend some of their hard-earned but very limited cash to buy a SECOND or THIRD model set, to make even bigger and better models possible.
I am doing the exact same thing here, to make you smarter – to make YOU a winner.
Because we can’t have too much winning if you aren’t on the same page as Trump, as well as the historical patriots who really did walk this SPHERICAL planet and built this great civilization – and GOD – who made this WORKING BALL on which WORKING LIFE not only EXISTS but THRIVES and then hopefully carries on His PRO-LIFE MISSION of creating and persisting a life-filled and God-loving universe, which is something GOD WANTS BECAUSE IT’S GOOD.
Just my opinion?
Yeah. But still – buy a globe. You will learn so much from it.
I recommend keeping your globe in some place you visit regularly. I stand in front of my globe generally 2-4 times a day, and I probably toy with it at least daily. When we’re having science discussions here, especially after one of Steve’s science posts, I may spend a half hour with that globe.
What am I looking at?
I am looking at seasons. I’m looking at angles of the sun. I’m looking at hours of daylight, twilight, and darkness. But that’s just the beginning.
Most importantly, I’m looking at thousands of tiny details and saying “OH, THAT MAKES SENSE”. Airplane flights. Jet lag. Shipping routes. Planetary distances. Phone conversations. Satellites. “4 AM”. Russia, CHYYYNA, Japan. Burma Shave. TAIWAN. Why Hawaii has always been filled with trouble and bullshit. Look at your globe and every little thing starts to make sense.
This is very critical. When you have a real, true, winning solution in science, like a spherical planet, it just makes all the little stuff WORK. All the thousands of minor details WORK for any scientist who looks at the model, and kicks the tires. This is why Newton is not “replaced” by Einstein – he’s just being helped out around the edges where things get weird.
The problem with “Flat Earth” (and other things I’ll talk about later) is that one big mistake made from an emotionally attractive bias to the past tries (and fails) to upset all the little yet critical stuff other people are doing or have done – meaning millions of honest, good-faith observations. THEN, the same people who break all the little yet critical stuff for everybody else, when confronted, just throw back some non-working, “causes even more trouble”, evasion of an answer, and pretend that they answered the problem, when they didn’t. And that is exactly why nobody takes them seriously, and most people ignore them.
In science, you have to make something that lets OTHER PEOPLE explain or predict stuff on their own, successfully, nearly every time, to actually have a product that sells AND GETS RE-SOLD. Newton did that. Chemistry did that. Electromagnetism did that. Relativity did that. Quantum mechanics did that. Particle physics did that.
When you look at the globe, try to predict how long automobile trips and plane flights take. Look at where islands are. Look at where history happened. Look at where mankind started, wandered, and settled. Look at climate. Look at weather. Look at temperatures. Look at where those temperatures are on the globe.
Right there, the semi-frozen pizza stumbles hard, but the globe, with two poles on one axis, just works like crazy. Everything is nicely – no – perfectly explained – and it’s explained all together at the same time, by a very simple model.
Your actual globe will make you a solid and strong glober. And scientist. And lover of truth.
And then you will become even stronger, because – believe it or not – you will become stronger in FAITH. You will start to see how God makes stuff WORK – and I mean REALLY WORK – simply, powerfully, independently – and that pattern is something you can predict will show up again, and again, and again.
God makes stuff that WORKS. And KEEPS WORKING.
But I’m getting ahead of things.
So buy that globe, or get the old one out, and let’s talk about it. Make that globe WORK for you. Let it help you see the TRUTH.
And as it brings you closer to TRUTH, it will bring you closer to GOD.

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).
Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1
Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.
SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.
As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.
YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..
OTHER THAN THAT…….
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
Don’t let UFOs and Chinese spy balloons distract you from the fact a US President ordered Russian pipelines be blown up without notifying Congress then misled the American people about it, risking WWIII to defend a corrupt nation where his son Hunter raked in millions of dollars
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 DayYear Week:
CRISPR
noun
Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
A naturally occurring mechanism found in bacteria that involves the retention of fragments of foreign DNA, providing the bacteria with some immunity to viruses. The system is sometimes referred to as CRISPR/Cas9 to denote the entire gene-editing platform in which RNA homologous with the targeted gene is combined with Cas9 (CRISPR Associated Protein 9), which is a DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) to form the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.
Wolf’s explanation: ZoneAlarm / McAfee for bacterial genes against IRL viruses. The bacteria keep a special library of virus crap, then look for it in the genome and “quarantine” (slice) any infected DNA at the bad spot.
Cas9
noun
CRISPR Associated Protein 9
A specialized enzyme known as a nuclease that has the ability to cut DNA sequences. Cas9 makes up part of the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.

Cholesterol-lowering success in monkeys using CRISPR gene therapy has scientists hot to trot for human trials
You may not realize it yet, but if you think the phony war over cholesterol ON YOUR PLATE was bad, wait until you see what’s coming. The war over cholesterol production IN YOUR GENES is about to ignite.
Yes. YOU are going to be FORCED by your medical insurance to get GENE THERAPY, because they won’t want to pay for statins or stents.
Nobody has told you about this stuff, just like nobody told you that human fertility was going to take a hit from a phony Chinese pandemic with a gonad-seeking mRNA vaccine, containing a fertility-decreasing spike protein, and possibly some kind of tracking mechanism, although we’re not 100% certain on the last and least damaging of those three – at least not yet.
Cholesterol gold foil artwork available on Etsy: www.etsy.com
Cholesterol has a beautiful structure, if you have an appreciation for that sort of thing. It’s not just a FAT – it’s a STEROID. It’s a big blob of molecular wood putty that can be used for all kinds of things. The structure is remarkably similar to some of the most potent hormones in our bodies.
Yeah, sometimes there is a lot of SCRAP cholesterol laying around. But look at wood prices now, and realize that – yeah – cholesterol is part of HEALTH and BUILDING STRONG BODIES.
Let’s not get into how phony the whole demonization of cholesterol is. THAT is another story. But let me tell you – if there was ever an “unjustified fat shaming”, it was the WAR ON CHOLESTEROL.
The point is, we all know how many of us were forced onto a class of drugs called statins to lower our cholesterol levels. These drugs have a variety of serious side effects, including memory loss and dementia.
And yet doctors went along with the MANDATORY nature of doing something about cholesterol. Am I not right? Of course I’m right, and you know it. Your doctor was TRAINED to be all “mandatory” about fixing your cholesterol.
Well, there is going to be something that will eliminate the need for statins.
GENE THERAPY.
Brought to you by globalists, the Bidenistas, the Bidenazis, and the Phony Plannedemic.
Trust me, they KNEW THIS WAS COMING when they released the virus.
They KNEW they would use the “gene therapy” vaccines for the phony villain pandemic.
They KNEW they would go after cholesterol FIRST, because they had already set it all up.
They KNEW all this all along.
And now let me prove it to you.
There is an amazing article – excellent reporting – that you need to read. I’m only going to give you PART of it, so that you go see the rest. Or just go there now.
NOW – if you want to see whether ANYBODY thinks this might be a bad idea, you have to actually go to the end of the article. But you will also see that there are some of these people who are RARIN’ TO GO on gene therapy in humans.
The therapy’s efficacy in monkeys shows it is ready to be deployed in people, Urnov says. “At this point, only clinical data will tell us what the real promise of this approach is.”
Oh yeah? Not all agree!
Permanently disabling it with CRISPR may therefore have unforeseen effects, he says. “When you do the CRISPR, you’re stuck,” he says. “What’s the antidote?”
Bigger still, is this problem.
THE SAME HORRIFYING ISSUE that was just found with the mRNA vaccines, and I just discussed in the previous post, is mentioned by a critic of the technology in the C&EN article.
So again, I urge you to read the full article, to understand how CLOSE we are to mandated gene therapy.
Give them nothing but one more day to rue, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Remain CIVIL and possibly even GENTEEL.
Today we have FOUR SHORT LESSONS in politically incorrect WOLFTHINK.
Watch The Water
One of the beautiful things that the Q team did, as part of not only its “comms”, but also its psy-opping, and its deniability, was to communicate to us in double, triple, and higher entendres. It was poetry, which not only made it CUNNING, but also ATTRACTIVE, INSPIRING, and even BEAUTIFUL.
Sure, SOME people will “read things in” wrongly, or too little, or too much, but overall, SOME will figure out TRUE THINGS, and what they figure out will spread.
The GENIUS of the COMMS is a proof unto itself.
I cannot tell you if Q originally intended for us to “get” WATER ISLAND as a sly tip in “WATCH THE WATER”, but OMG – it’s a GOLD MINE, intended or not.
Thanks to ValCur, who is NOT ValJar, I researched a photo and was led to THIS ARTICLE:
I simply CANNOT recommend this article highly enough.
This is real corruption, and the article both explains it, and EXCUSES IT.
This article is trying to IMMUNIZE Biden against damage from not just this story, but also the deeper parts of the scandal, by PRESENTING and CONTROLLING one of the lesser parts. You can read the “excusing of corruption” at every step. It’s intentionally demoralizing – like – “yeah, he will get away with it, because, well, lookie here, this might just be innocent because of THIS.”
Likewise, there is NO mention of Jeffrey Epstein ANYWHERE in the article. And yet, Water Island is SO CLOSE to Epstein Island, and so convenient for traffic to it, utterly unobserved, that it really makes one think Politico is deliberately walling off Epstein by poking up a smaller scandal in the way and saying “nothing to see here – why don’t you just GO HOME?”
Here is how to locate Water Island on the map above.
Epstein Island is located at the circular location marker up and to the left (NW) of the added text. That marker is RIGHT ON Little St. James, a.k.a. Epstein Island. There is another, adjacent, island of similar but slightly larger size, just up and to the left (NW) of that – this is Great St. James. Epstein also bought THAT island – SECRETLY – the story is NASTY and INTRIGUING, and is described HERE:
Great St. James is off the shore of the BIGGER island to the left, St. Thomas. The capitol city in the center is Charlotte Amalie, clearly labeled in the map. Just below and slightly to the left (SSW) of the label for Charlotte Amalie, and really almost part of the city, is Water Island – unlabeled in the map above.
In this map of St. Thomas and surrounding smaller islands, you can clearly see both Water Island in the center, and Epstein’s two islands in the lower right corner, unlabeled, southeast of the hamlet of Red Hook. Hassel Island, next to Water Island, is mostly uninhabited, and serves as an historical park.
Water Island is a bit like a gated community, although it’s not all that ritzy. I will include a link to a HUGE, high-resolution image of it. Here is a smaller image:
NOW – if you are wondering about how to get from Water Island to Epstein Island, then you may want to get distracted by discrediting theories of submarines, based on the fascinating history of submarines on St. Thomas, and military activities on both St. Thomas and Water Island. However, to be quite frank, it’s just easier to hop on a boat. As you can see in the above picture, boats are everywhere, and there is so much boat traffic, it’s quite easy to lose track of any one boat, let alone any one passenger.
NOW – here is the interesting point from the article. It’s how the Bidens were basically GIVEN a nice parcel of land on Water Island by a lobbyist friend.
The Bidens bought a desirable plot of land.
The Bidens split the land into three subplots.
The Bidens then SOLD one subplot to the lobbyist for the FULL PRICE of the FULL PLOT.
This left the Bidens with over 2/3 of the land FOR FREE – GRATIS – by being OVERPAID for part of it.
The Bidens then secured LOAN MONEY from the lobbyist using the other two plots as collateral.
Now, if that’s confusing, it’s supposed to be. It’s money laundering. What the lobbyist did was give the Bidens PROPERTY, and then let them CASH IN on it with loans.
Say, didn’t the Bidens get money from the Chinese that way, too? Some of it as cash – some of it as LOANS?
Whatever. It’s all very ugly.
Now, the REAL question is whether Hunter Biden was ever on Epstein Island.
I think we’re about to find out.
Get your popcorn now.
And now for a scandal closer to home.
OMG! A LIBTARD POSTED ON THE Q TREE!
Fake News Drain-Circling Psychosis
We got one comment in MODERATION which – well – this person is, shall we say, not a good fit for this site. She is welcome to visit our Gab Group where people can individually “turn her off”, but since we can’t do it here, she did NOT survive “Wolf’s Extreme Vetting“.
This is a MAGA site. If you take BASIC ISSUE with our purpose, you’re probably going to disrupt our day-to-day purpose, which is to support TRUMP. Can’t have that.
However, I think it’s worthwhile to consider what she had to say, so here it is.
All of these folks need to watch the real news and stop the brainwash they are getting from Fox. Amy Barrett will go down as the the SCJ selected by an impeached president in an effort to get himself re-elected so that he can’t be criminally charged for his wrong doings . He couldn’t care less about abortion , our healthcare or whether we live or die. His lack of action to mitigate Covid 19 has made that quite clear. He. did stack the court with far right conservatives in his plan to deprive us of a legitimate vote to rid us if this non-patriot when he refuses to concede and takes away our right to choose a president by putting the decision before the stacked far right Supreme Court that he has weaponized. Save our democracy, despite your hatred of Obama, save our democracy. Wake up , America can’t take four more years of the criminality of the Trump family.
This is, I’m fairly certain, the mentality of people who are still voting for Joe Biden. Now, first of all, many of us here don’t even watch Fox News, since it’s basically the OUTER LIMITS of establishment “allowed” thinking. Sure, there are some great journalists there, like Tucker Carlson, but then again, those are exactly the “far right” personalities that this poster surely rejects.
But as for “real news” – HEY BABY – that is US.
The news – the real news – is something we have to ferret out, past all the lies.
While I’m not going to respond to all of the specific “accusations against Trump” here, I think some are worth addressing.
First, I want to assure this poster (HoH, hereafter) that Amy Coney Barrett is not going to do all the bad things that she (HoH) is afraid of, although Justice Barrett will make SOME decisions which will be INCONVENIENT for Democrat POLICY and POLITICS. However, Barrett will likely UPHOLD liberal policies which are soundly rooted in law, and thus, the poster HoH will be PLEASANTLY SURPRISED on occasion. Possibly many occasions, if she’s just a deluded liberal, and not a lying leftist.
The impeached president stuff, of course, means nothing without a conviction. Bill Clinton survived impeachment, so there is nothing to score here, but I hesitate to use that comparison, because it is a FALSE SYMMETRY. Bill Clinton’s impeachment MATTERED. Trump’s impeachment was blatantly FALSE, and the work of criminals. Fake News consternation aside, Adam Schiff is in trouble for falsely accusing Trump and furthering a HOAX PROSECUTION.
Hoaxes matter. And so do SOME impeachments.
Why did Bill Clinton’s impeachment matter? It was just about SEX – right?
Yes – that is TRUE, although technically it was about LYING about sex. And THAT betrays the much deeper problem of BETRAYAL.
I am now of a belief that CHINA has targeted a particular type of politician who they believe will SELL OUT AMERICA. Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are specific examples of this kind of politician.
politically amoral or sociopathic
sexually immoral
willing to take bribes
married to a spouse PERSONALLY invested in the politician’s success
spouse will support illegalities and immoralities
pol is FAITHLESS to the spouse – betrayal is second nature
both pol and spouse do not return ANGER to blackmail or betrayal, but DEEPEN TIES instead
These are politicians who LIGHT UP China’s “Blue-Gold-Yellow” (BGY) program by giving up intelligence, taking bribes, and being faithless to spouse, God and country.
Trump has done nothing like what Bill Clinton did, even when he “dated around”, shall we say, before and between marriages.
Bill Clinton betrayed our country. He took money from China to do things not in the interests of the United States. All of Trump’s alleged “betrayals” have proven to have been manufactured LIES by people who DID get in bed with China, Russia, Ukraine or Iran.
As for Trump “not really caring” about abortion, healthcare, and OUR LIVES – sorry. Look for the big picture here to not be delusional. Just one – healthcare – Trump FORCED Republicans to accept HIS POSITION on OUR pre-existing conditions. And on COVID-19, we see that he sacrificed HIS ECONOMY to not take a chance on OUR LIVES.
Which brings us to COVID-19.
This is a good one. Trump WINS here, if you dig even slightly below the weak lies of the Biden Coupists. I could get into the deeper weeds of what is REALLY going on here – where I draw in some of the stuff that will appears momentarily in the NEXT parts of this post, but I’m setting aside those items for now.
Why? Because it turns out that viruses are vastly more complicated and subtle than we realized, and most people are not really aware of the nastier parts of the story, which “real science” ADMITS, but kinda slides over to the side of the discussion table, and gets all COUGH COUGH about the nastier parts.
Most people in this world will be SHOCKED when they understand. They will be shocked at how science SCREWED UP in how it responded to the truth about viruses, too. Firing Judy Mikovits did NOT make the complexity of the truth go away – it just delayed things.
And COVID-19 has a lot to do with that. It was a CHEAP MOVE in science, to FORCE Trump to “buy in” to a moneyed and “almost true” but irresponsible position which PROTECTS Tony Fauci.
Nope. We’re going to stick to the SLIGHTLY PHONY STORY – the “standard theory” of viruses, without the problems and the lies – we’re going to PLAY ALONG with what gets printed on the glossy pages in the check-out line – the simple story that leaves the nasty REALITY of viruses OUT, so that MONEY can be obtained through vaccines which treat the part of the story we’re allowed to see.
That is where Trump played along, too, but ACTUALLY CARED about treating people, and BOOM – we have real treatments like HCQ, Regeneron, and (bad as it is) remdesivir. We have vaccines that will work on a subset of colds, although, sadly, SOME OF THEM may cause cancers, immune disorders, and immunodeficiency as well, long term, if you take the wrong ones, and we don’t know which ones those are. It’s rough science, with some very nasty “known unknowns”.
But we’ll deal with it. Soon.
Stocks are already banking on Novavax making money due to its older technology evading concerns on mRNA and DNA, and rightly so. This despite the fact that mRNA and viral vector vaccines are running ahead in terms of trials.
STAY TUNED.
But most of all, Trump did the smart things – the obvious things – and they worked. He did NOT listen to the lies that closing borders would be ineffective. Trump closed the borders and saved lives – although CHINA lied even earlier, and got cases here in January and even December.
It’s very clear to me how our Democrat-allied medical bureaucrats, in league with China, tried to carry out a coup using a new coronavirus and a media scare. When all is revealed, there will be many firings, and convictions, too.
But not yet. We’re “Biden” our time, so to speak.
As for the rest of HoH’s comment – well – it’s mostly a very “Fake News” perspective. Fake News hates Trump, and more importantly hates people like ME, because they’re invested in decades of lies. Those lies are coming undone. WE are not the ones hiding the evidence presented by the other side.
You will not disrupt our TRUTH-SEEKING ALTERNATIVE to the FAKE NEWS.
My mother saw the SAME THING happen to the Nazis. When the Nazi regime fell apart, like the decades-long leftist infiltration is falling apart now, or when ANY socialist regime falls apart, the TRUTH makes a certain sector of the old socialist guard just GO NUTS.
As the DRAIN IS CIRCLED, the cries get shriller, and the ear-covering gets ridiculous.
“Good Obama” – “Good Joe Biden” – “Good Fuehrer” – it’s all the same. They were PHONIES propped up by the media, and when the media falls, THEY FALL.
Trump is not propped up by the media. He SHUNNED their approval from the beginning.
ASK WHY.
There will be people – the “true believers” – who cannot FACE THE DIFFICULT TRUTHS. They won’t CALL the corruption what it is – they won’t even look at it.
The Nazis did not ALLOW discussion of the truth. They – like the communists they are SO SIMILAR TO, would DISRUPT any discussion of the truth. They would keep everything they didn’t want OUT OF THE NEWS and HIDDEN from the People. If people TALKED about it, those voices were DISRUPTED or SQUELCHED. Often BRUTALLY.
THAT is socialism, and we’re SHUTTING IT DOWN.
We WILL NOT live under it. Period.
Join Gab. My advice. Left or right. The TRUTH will come for you there. Like it or not.
I wish House of Heart well in her travels.
Vaya con Dios.
And, if you don’t believe in God, stay classy, and vaya con Dior.
Why I’m Shilling Novavax
BEGIN TL;DR /
I have recently seen or heard a variety of things (I will explain – see WHY below), which have combined to convince me that mRNA and *especially* DNA vaccines are TOO RISKY relative to the *actual* dangers of the China Virus, to be a SAFE choice for people who are NOT in a high-risk category relative to COVID-19 infection.
Now, this is just my personal stance at the moment, and it is subject to change. But right now, my opinion is as follows:
For people not at great risk of harm from the DISEASE, it pays to WAIT until the sum of ALL POSSIBLE RISKS of any particular individual vaccine, experienced over the LIKELY REMAINDER OF LIFE, falls below the known risks of the disease for that person RIGHT NOW.
This is a pure RISK / BENEFIT analysis, using both KNOWN SCIENCE and SCIENTIFIC UNKNOWNS.
This is EXACTLY in keeping with Trump’s family’s INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS on COVID-19 treatments. Trump himself took TWO experimental treatments. His wife and son, both younger, took NO experimental treatments.
If we were dealing with airborne Ebola – WHICH WE ARE NOT – then it would make sense to give most people mRNA and DNA vaccines and “hope for the best”. That is NOT THE CASE, and we need to stop pretending that it is. The “COVID hype” has FAILED, and those who continue it, need to be made to answer for it. It’s time for HONESTY.
Thus, FOR YOUR KIDS of FUTURE KIDS, and for anybody not at high risk, I recommend the Novavax vaccine as less risky for long-term development of CANCER and IMMUNE DISORDERS, both of which are foreseeable potential risks of nucleic acid vaccine biotechnologies, which risks cannot be properly tested for, in the short term, in my opinion.
On the other hand, for those in high-risk COVID groups who need vaccines NOW, and particularly the elderly, any of the vaccines that show short-term safety and efficacy are reasonable risk choices, relative to any possible but unknown long-term consequences.
/END TL;DR
BEGIN WHY /
In my opinion, the risks of mRNA and DNA vaccines are like DES was for children of women who took it – they are LONG-TERM risks, and potentially transmissible to children.
We have been GASLIT into the “need” to take new, relatively untested vaccines, and “hoping for the best”.
NO. Just NO.
In my opinion, ONLY people either (1) at high risk of DEATH from COVID-19, due to age and/or comorbidities, OR (2) those who are willing to BRAVELY VOLUNTEER, at the risk of late-in-life cancer or immune disorders, possibly even to their children, to find out if mRNA and DNA vaccines are actually SAFE long term, should take the “novel” mRNA or DNA vaccines.
It will be YEARS before we know if these technologies are either guaranteed safe or controllably safe (meaning we know how to make them safe against ALL potential gotchas).
I’m not saying that we should not make and in some cases TAKE these vaccines. I’m saying that these vaccines have KNOWN and EASILY FORESEEABLE LONG-TERM RISKS, and we are NOT being open and honest about those risks.
The Chinese are being very cautious about the new vaccine technologies, both because they are a bit behind, and because they are basically letting Americans experiment on Americans. However, the Chinese are also taking risks just by pushing primarily the very oldest-style vaccines, which are at extremely high risk of immune enhancement phenomena.
Because the Novavax vaccine is using BOTH modern technology which evades immune enhancement, AND established technology which has a proven safety record, and is NOT taking RISKS inherent to mRNA and DNA technologies, I am of the opinion that it is the most THEORETICALLY SAFE of the vaccines thus far.
I would give Novavax to my own children without worry, based on what I know now. I would only give an mRNA or DNA alternative to an OLDER RELATIVE or one with a serious comorbidity. If my parents were alive right now, both thus being VERY old with SERIOUS comorbidities, I would almost certainly advise that they get the first available vaccine, since all the front-runners appear to be headed for approval when phase 3 tests are done, IMO.
Now – let me explain my position.
Regarding viruses and vaccines, I am quite familiar with the broader topics in biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and other relevant sciences, and even the “basics” of how viruses and vaccines work. However, I was NOT aware of the nitty-gritty of viruses and vaccines until recently, as I began to try to understand the different vaccine and therapeutic offerings which are coming in Operation Warp Speed.
I was shocked, at the beginning, to discover that the very first coronavirus vaccine mentioned in my news feed, the Inovio offering, was in fact a DNA vaccine. I had to DIG to discover that aspect. It was not even mentioned in the “top-level” Twitter-mediated links. Indeed, I had to dig just to find Bill Gates mentioned.
The details of the Inovio vaccine are quite interesting.
Digging into the OTHER vaccines in the running, I discovered that for every DNA vaccine, there were several mRNA vaccines (m = “messenger”) also in the running, and the mRNA vaccines were actually more advanced in terms of clinical trials.
The above list is the state of things in MAY, as far as vaccines in clinical trials. Now, jump to July.
Now, I could have spent a lot of time reading paywall-slipping scientific literature (very difficult for poor “people’s scientists” like me to find), trying to come to my own opinion about the safety of mRNA and DNA vaccines, but I found a faster way to “poll scientists past the fake news” – that was simply to raise the red flag on RNA and DNA vaccines, and see how fast the industry shot down my red flag. If mRNA and DNA vaccines were obviously and inherently safe, there should have been a DOGPILE of both scientists and shills to “correct” me.
Instead, there were CRICKETS.
What I did next was even more desperate. I started calling these vaccines “genetic modification” – a direct and specific accusation, which should have been SHOT DOWN HARD WITH SOUND SCIENCE if genetic incorporation of some kind was not a risk. That meme spread, and I watched what happened.
Instead of saying “GENES CANNOT BE MODIFIED BY THESE VACCINES!”, there was several kinds of weak counter-arguments, based on definitions, assertions, and ideals. Nobody ever “did the John Kasich” and said “Vaccines can’t modify your genes – that’s crazy talk!” There was dancing around the core accusation – never even an attempt at a solid rebuttal.
Now, you have to understand – I’ve gotten “that’s crazy talk” for a whole lot more obviously REAL stuff than this plausible but kinda freaky idea, that vaccines might mess with your genes. I found that VERY surprising. I know how scientists and left-wing “science is real” types love to correct other people, and most of all “errant scientists”, when they step on thin ice.
Was I actually on SOLID GROUND?
Leave it to a “Twitter Angel” to sneak up on me and drop a huge hint – “CRISPR” – in a reply. The person accused COVID-19 vaccines of INTENTIONALLY modifying our genes.
One quick search to validate, and…..
WHOA, NELLY!
It turns out that there ARE, IN FACT, VACCINES which depend on genetic modification. They use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to make gene insertions.
That headline actually HIDES the current state of research – in which WORKING VACCINES which “edit the genes of T cells” are not just someday, but RIGHT NOW, and showing desirable results.
HOWEVER, as far as I can tell, NONE of the current coronavirus vaccines – NONE of them – intentionally edit genes.
However, you would be shocked not only how easy that is to do – meaning EDITING your DNA – what’s even more shocking is how easily it is to do badly, and cause problems.
AS RETROVIRUSES, IN FACT, DO.
However, before I get to retroviruses, which “seal the deal” for me on making the sign of the cross at mRNA and DNA vaccines, I need to talk about TWO other things.
First, CANCER.
The October 19, 2020 issue of Molenium Magazine, a.k.a. Chemical & Engineering News, has a really great cover story, on a tumor phenomenon known somewhat generally as “circular DNA”, more commonly as “extrachromosomal DNA” (ecDNA), and also as “extrachromosomal circular DNA” (eccDNA), but be careful, because for whatever weird historical reasons, ALL of it seems to be circular, and ecDNA is regarded as a subset of eccDNA, rather than the other way around.
Let’s repeat for clarity.
This article is about “little circles of DNA”, referred to as ecDNA, or extra-chromosomal DNA, which seem to be tied to tumor resistance and survival. ecDNA is the name traditionally associated with the little circles of DNA prevalent in TUMORS.
It’s an exciting and active area of research, and I highly recommend the article. Note that the author is Ryan Cross, who has done all kinds of great vaccine reporting for C&EN.
What do you know, the Inovio DNA vaccine for coronavirus injects you with little circular bits of DNA, too!
That image is from a GREAT slideshow, which explains the FANTASTIC (and I mean it) probable and in some cases PROVEN upside of the technology.
You will note, as you watch the slideshow, that the technology is even useful AGAINST virus-caused cancers, by increasing immunity to those specific viruses. The POSITIVES on the technology are GREAT.
But what about the downside? What are the RISKS of new technology so similar to what it is being used against – meaning little bits of DNA or RNA that CAUSE tumors?
Well, there’s nothing in the slideshow. But let’s ask ON OUR OWN.
NOW – the circular DNA used by the vaccine is referred to as a plasmid.
Plasmid is another name for a small circle of DNA. Not only are plasmids of certain natures very similar to the circular DNA (ecDNA) expressed BY tumors in humans (see above article), the plasmids of some bacteria can actually CAUSE tumors, e.g., the “Ti plasmid”, which stands for Tumor-inducing plasmid, which infects and causes galls to form in plants, by hijacking their cells using DNA.
Now – I’m not arguing that plasmid-based vaccines, working as they are SUPPOSED TO WORK, are going to cause cancer, or are even LIKELY to cause cancer. But I’m not going to exclude the possibility – the KNOWN UNKNOWN – that if something goes wrong, they MIGHT cause cancer.
To see how REASONABLE it is to associate cancer with eccDNA of various kinds, just read about those “names” for the circular DNA that I was just mentioning. BOTH Wikipedia articles have extensive sections on the role of these types of DNA in cancer.
And now, let’s make things even WORSE, by adding VIRUSES and IMMUNE DISORDERS.
Now – I’m not a “true believer” in Judy Mikovits. However, her obsession with XMRVs (a type of retrovirus) has really forced me to understand just how much of a MESS viruses actually are. The REALITY of retroviruses is GODAWFUL. Viruses, and particularly retroviruses, have made a complete MESS of RNA and DNA. They LITERALLY write themselves into the genome like GRAFFITI IN BOOKS, and they’ve damn near filled the books. Worse still, they started doing it so long ago, and have done it so much – to the point that some think retroviruses are RESPONSIBLE for DNA evolving as a solution to genetic storage – that I’m not even sure that this history occurred ON THIS PLANET.
It is extremely worthwhile to read the following, including the sections on gene therapy and CANCER, to understand the BASICS of retroviruses.
All of this is not enough to “know” that DNA and mRNA vaccines are going to do anything “bad” in the long term. But it is VERY apparent that DNA and RNA are a MESS – the “cental dogma” of untouchable, royally decreeing DNA is a laughable LIE, and vaccine biology operates in a china shop filled with blind lunatics on bicycles, drunk bears, and children with firehoses.
Everything taken together, I simply don’t trust the new mRNA and DNA vaccines to have figured out known unknowns, let alone unknown unknowns, that won’t become evident for 75 years and 2 generations.
My advice? Avoid the part of the “central dogma” that is blatantly untrue – that DNA is “read-only” except by blessed mechanisms.
PROTEIN IS SAFETY (disregarding snake venoms, of course). If you are risk averse, PROTEIN like NOVAVAX is where to take your chances.
Thus, you will be seeing me shilling primarily for Novavax, particularly to the vaccine hesitant, the young, the healthy, and the future or present parents. I will shill the other stuff to the other folks.
Now you know why.
Calling All Prayer Warriors
I get a lot of revelations in the shower, but they’re usually of a scientific or political nature, not a religious one.
This one just hit me like a ton of bricks, but gentle as a breeze. When in my mind, troubled by the days ahead, I uttered the words HAND OF GOD – I immediately felt a powerful understanding and peace wash over me – PEACE AND STRENGTH – and right then, I knew that this was something that must be shared.
We need to pray for the HAND OF GOD to descend on us with power, comfort, and STRENGTH, so that we may stand firm and resolute – to NOT be incited to violence – to stand for PEACE when the easy solution is WAR.
To not be afraid, but rather to be confident. To go forth strongly and with PURPOSE, clear in our righteousness, filled with mercy and understanding.
Remember it, when you are troubled.
HAND OF GOD.
And your troubles will be swept away, with POWER not your own.
