“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.

Time for more dumping of tabs!
(1) The Hafnium Bomb and/or the Nuclear Battery
A nice explanation of nuclear isomerism and why some people like DERPA are interested in it.
(2) Chess Game Reported Like College Football
You may have never seen anything like this. That’s OK – stick with it – it’s fun! The “sports reporter” is a hoot! I had no idea these people existed.
(3) Gravity, Inertia, and the Gravitational Constant
TL;DR – The gravitational constant pops out of the theory and I love it, but I still have to be skeptical that it might be an artifact.
Did we actually miss the solution to “what is gravity?” and “what is inertia?” when they were solved in the 1950s? Just listen to the guy – the equations are too small to read, but the explanations start to gel. At the very least, the opening / final cartoon is readily understood when you get to the end!
(4) Enjoy Some Relaxing Math & Fiddle Music
This is supposedly an exam question for Haaaaaahvaaaaaahd. Or you can just listen to the calming folk violin.
(5) Two Solutions to the Three-Body Problem
First, the no-solution solution, presented by that annoyingly perky British chick who is not Veritasium or the German one.
Now, Valerie Curren’s solution using string theory.

Like highly welcomed but ultimately skimpy food on a woke airline, we are giving you three choices in random videos that were suggested by YouTube. Each video is interesting at first, but we’re not sure you’ll make it to the end of any of them.
Take your pick! And come back for seconds or thirds if you dare.
Too-Mild Chicken Wings – a somewhat tasty but incompletely breaded explanation of how an airplane wing REALLY works (Steve’s further explanations and corrections are welcome)
Crispy Crunchy Pork Rinds – a young anthropologist offers 5 MOAR reasons why there are massive problems with young-Earth creationism

A Tab-Clearing Selection of Videos
OK, people, listen up.
I have collected WAY too many videos in my tabs, with the intent of using one every week in the Monday open thread. The trouble is, I collect them much faster than I am using them.
Well, I’m going to FLUSH some of them. Right now. And every week. Until I have a more manageable number.
Find what you like – play what you like – ignore the rest.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

(1) The Nancy Mace Allegations
Nancy Mace makes explosive allegations on the floor of the House. Go to 19:00 minutes where it begins (it should be queued up).
(2) Einstein, Emmy Noether, and General Relativity
Is Veritasium a heavy metal? If so, I maintain that it is still good for you! This is fascinating history about Einstein, even if you ignore the science. It’s basically about a woman mathematician who came up with some math and science that saved Albert’s butt!
(3) Barbara Corcoran On Donald Trump
I’m not saying she’s right about WHY Trump is the GOAT, but she is right THAT Trump is the GOAT, and her little story here is fascinating. You’ve seen this before – still – worth another watching!
(4) The World’s Dumbest Calculator For Pi
This is actually kinda cool, but in the end, you will feel the dumbness, and it burns! “Moar Maker Madness!”
(5) Pyromaniacs, Clickety-Clacks, and the Thermite Welding of Railroad Tracks
Veritasium with all the fireworks and none of the equations. OK, maybe just a few equations. But still, it’s all worth it. Enjoy!
Stay tuned for the next five tabs to escape though this page!

Moar AI Spam
AI is assisting with the proliferation of bullshit, because it puts fairly smart white lies in the hands of fairly dumb people who need them.
Example? This bit of engineered bullshit, either actual spam, or IC AI bullshit disguised as spam, trying to get on this site.
Note – I included Cuppa Covfefe’s last comment on the Open – A REAL COMMENT – for context. That comment was made roughly 4 1/2 years ago.
For those with low vision, the text of the spam post:
‘This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread’ beautifully fosters unity, faith, and respectful dialogue. I appreciate the emphasis on civility, truth, and open discussion. A great reminder of how meaningful and peaceful conversations can shape a strong, thoughtful community.
I’ll be frank – that’s a nice comment. I won’t say why it’s obviously an AI comment, because I don’t reveal tells of that nature – but for those and other very definitive reasons, I can assure you that it’s an AI comment.
Now, let’s compare that with the following first few paragraphs of Carl’s post, which were analyzed and turned into that AI response.
In the original post, both “Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread” and “Please show respect and consideration” were bolded, and it’s clear that the AI noted this, by putting single quotes around those first four words, which were played back. In the sample from Carl’s post, below, I am bolding almost all of the things on which the AI appeared to be focused.
This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.
It is also a place to read, post and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.
In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civildiscussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.
We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.
Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name calling, ridicule, insults, baiting and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.
In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectfulconversations.
Let’s not give the Internet Censors a reason to shut down this intellectual haven that Wolf has created for us.
Note that the word “faith” was not there – it was generated by the AI. The only place “faith” appeared in Carl’s entire post was 12 times in a large paragraph way down in the body of the post. If you want to check it out…..
Thus, the mere mention of “worship” at the beginning, and the entire context of the body of Carl’s post, were likely the origin of “faith” in the AI comment.
“Meaningful” and “peaceful” are also derived from the larger context. Those words are not present, although “peace” appears 5 times in the body of the message from Carl.
I want you all to understand that the AI is basically doing what high school students and college students are trained to do, in writing a reply letter, answering essay questions, or otherwise composing written material based on some source, without plagiarizing. It’s reading, grabbing concepts, mixing things up, generalizing about what is observed, then composing a restatement which comes very close to what was originally said, from a reader perspective, without “aping” the original, which is both cringeworthy and considered plagiarism.
AI is pleasing its trainers, just like students try to please their trainers teachers.
This is why AI is being used by students to pass exams.
Andrew Torba has a masterful post about this, which you all really need to read. He predicts that universities themselves, as we know them, are about to be on life support, because of AI.
After reading Torba’s post, I realize that Harvard is falling apart for multiple reasons. IMO, woke does not have the honesty needed to deal with AI, or anything else, for that matter.
Over the next 15 years, universities will face existential pressure to adapt or perish. Some may evolve into credentialing hubs, offering “micro-degrees” for niche skills.
Excerpt:
Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool for incremental change it is the architect of a total overhaul. At the heart of this transformation is a radical reimagining of how knowledge is delivered, absorbed, and validated. At Alpha School in Texas, students spend just two hours a day learning with AI, yet they outperform 98% of students nationwide, scoring in the top 1-2% on standardized tests.
WOLF AGAIN…..
The question will not be whether you can use AI to fake out people about how smart you are, in their decaying system. The question will be whether (1) you can use AI for real research, or (2) whether you can change, fix, use, or install AI to do something useful and good to others.
That output of your use of AI may include good stuff, or bad stuff. People who use AI for bad stuff will need to be punished. Good AI and AI in the hands of good people will get it done.
Welcome to the future.
Mutually Acceptable Lies About The Clot Shot
It’s time to be honest about what is going on in HHS, NIH, FDA and CDC.
Reform of these agencies – whose sins almost killed us, and did in fact kill many of us, and many other people around the world – will NOT occur by a quantum leap from bad to good.
It is occurring gradually and continuously, just like the end of government-sanctioned slavery did, in centuries past. And just like The Death of Slavery (cough), the entire process of Death To The Death Jabs (cough, cough) will be a shifting morass of what I call “mutually acceptable lies“.
PAVACA has very nicely documented the various half-measures, quarter-measures, and non-measures which have been taken by the government-ensconced part of MAHA against the clot-shots.
That is the current state of the matter. Not the end state – the current state.
Stated bluntly, the jabs are being gently but not honestly withdrawn from the young and the healthy, and are being kept, with no denial of existing fictions, for the sick, the old, the infirm, and the chronically medicated.
You know – the very people that a socialist depopulation program still wants to remove.
NOW do you see why the current assortment of lies and truths might be mutually acceptable to the two sides?
You don’t normally think like a depopulationist, or like somebody whose kids are being threatened by a shadowy cartel. So you never saw it coming – that our side would accept both some silver and some lead – at least temporarily. Or that the other side – the depop cartel – would accept a mixed bag. Yes – just like the drug cartels, they accept shifting realities.
The BAD SIDE threatened our children and young adults, and showed us that they had the power to not just kill our loved ones, but to make us do it – to make us part of the murder. Having them back off from this extortion is what we get, in return for their continued elimination of the people they wanted to eliminate all along – the weak, the old, the medically costly, the non-productive, and the undesirable, who can be slipped into their caskets at any time by a few shots.
This was very skillful play by the depoppers and their deep state allies. Do you see it? They had a REASON for pushing the jabs too far. So that when their commu-Nazi tide went back out, it was still deep enough to drown the “useless eaters”.
Now – this is not the spoken reality – meaning the lies. What I gave you is the mutually acceptable truth. The mutually acceptable lies are continuation of the scientific bullshit about antibody count, no need for clinical testing, and most of all, the need for those medical pobrecitos (poor young little ones) to get the merciful jabs to protect them from the still mythically Wuhan-dangerous omicron common cold.
THAT is their goal. THAT is what they needed to accomplish.
Somebody is still gonna pick the cotton and go to Heaven.
We know the “dangers” to these fragile patients are all bullshit, already shockingly disproved by the “peer-reviewed” literature. But the media that can never be wrong, and the scientific media that is even worse, are “not done not talking about things” – so we have to wait for memories to cool, so that nobody gets in trouble for slavery killing Black and Indian kids with jabs.
So what do we do?
We keep pushing on. We keep fighting. We make sure the public, the MAHA now in office, and (importantly) the American pope know that the fight for human life is not over – that “depopulation” is real, that it’s insidious, and that its stealthy proponents are not done fighting.
The depoppers will put up a hell of a fight to keep things where they are right now – where they not only have the elderly and the infirm at the end of a population-adjusting needle, but where they also have a prime depopulation AGENT (coronavirus spike protein) authorized for that needle.
And yet, I think we have some strong weapons at hand, against their strong lies.
If our theories are correct, then we will find evidence of safer outcomes with non-mRNA vaccines like Novavax, Coronavac (ChiCom jab), CorbeVax, and others that omit the mRNA technology. Even better, the new “Gold Standard” “universal platform” jabs that are now being pushed by Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, should prove much safer than mRNA.
Yeah, they’re not perfect – but they’re better. Fewer people will die. SOME people – in fact MANY people – will be rescued from depopulation.
This is war. There will be casualties. But we will win.

I begin this first post with an aside. The header for Thank God / Theistic Evolution Thursdays is a stained glass depiction of the first chapter of Genesis from the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It is the author’s contention that there ARE actual answers in Genesis – but they’re more profound and astounding than even the very smart people of antiquity could imagine, or even more recent minds from the 1800s, when modern humanity fell hard for the “6000 year” trickery.
To uncover the mechanistic details of the creation outline in Genesis, requires the work of many people over a long period of time. THAT very point – big things, long times – being a pattern worth noting.
God works with WAY bigger math than we can comprehend. At least, that is MY conjecture.
Q-Level Vaccine Strategy
It is my belief that what we are seeing unfolding right now, in HHS, NIH, FDA, and CDC, is the result of deep strategy and planning by some very smart and well-intended people, who are changing American healthcare for the better, whether it wants to make the necessary changes or not.
If that sounds like the Q folks, then good. If that merely sounds like the Trump administration, doing what it was elected to do, then good. If that sounds like some super-secret project of some other nature, then good. If that sounds like God taking a hammer to Satan’s bureaucracy, then good. I don’t care so much to convince you WHY it’s happening, as much as I want to show you THAT it’s happening.
What I hope to do here, is to quickly and simply explain where I see this hidden hand making plays, and why it might be making them.
I begin by explaining when and where I became aware that something good was going on.
First, barkerjim reported this item discussed on “Coffee and COVID”:
In summary, vaccines will now need to be tested against placebos – in ways that will critically distinguish safe vaccines from risky vaccines. This is a HUGE win for honest medicine.
I want to emphasize how strategically brilliant this is. Asking that vaccines be tested “normally” not only reverses outrageous vaccine non-testing that was installed by Fauci and Friends during COVID – it reverses sketchy and abused science all the way back to the 1960s and 1970s.
It’s undoing ALL of the bad stuff that has happened in vaccination since the middle of the last century.
And yet – “nutjob” RFK Jr. isn’t demanding the banning of even a single vaccine, as his opponents screamed and howled he would. No – he’s simply asking that vaccines be tested for safety like everything else.
What is happening here is unassailable. And yet, this move is going to stop sketchy vaccines like the COVID vaxxes IN THEIR TRACKS. Even other vaccines with “good” track records are going to have to prove themselves. And some “good” ones may turn out to be “not so good”.
This is the perfect move right now. Does this sound like something “beginner” secretary RFK Jr. would choose to play, all on his own, in the deadly DC chess game, against highly experienced globalist scum bureaucrats?
I don’t think so. It’s too smart. Something is going on.
But it gets better. And it was at the “gets better” point that I knew something very awesome was going on.
And no – I’m not talking about this, that eilert brought!
BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard is investigating Dr. Fauci for perjury and his role in funding Wuhan gain-of-function research tied to COVID-19.
It only took about 2 seconds for Aubergine to figure out what I was saying.
Reread that if you have to – that’s the bottom line, pretty much.
I’m going to explain it in more detail below.
And that’s why we’re here. I’ll get to it in a minute, but let’s finish capturing the discussion.
Here, PAVACA notes that this “universal vaccine platform” isn’t being championed by only the good guys, and being openly opposed by the bad guys. Not at all. The bad guys have their fingerprints all over it, too, and seem to be helping it. But note the military connections. I suspect that’s important.
Things get interesting here, and require some explanation.
As Trump says….
“Complicated business.”
IMO Fauci was doing what Fauci does. Get close to it. Get power over it. Then kill it or sabotage it. So we need to watch out for the Fauci Minions trying to take down MAHA.
Kalbo opined that it would be nice to get those deadly COVID mRNA vaccine EUAs withdrawn ASAP, and I have to agree. But again, it looks like what is being done here is strategic, and even in a military way, where a non-zero number of casualties are accepted to insure victory.
What I mean here is that by making two ostensibly pro-vax moves that are going to nuke the COVID vaccines shortly, guaranteed, it will be impossible to stop the withdrawal of the EUAs down the road. No amount of media-Democrat propaganda acting and photo ops will be able to stop the EUAs from being withdrawn.
Finally, this comment of mine, which I will explain.
So what the heck is going on? The “test vaccines against placebos” part sounds like a no-brainer, and also like a “no-risk winner”. But why should we trust ANYBODY talking about some new vaccine platform? They’re even using Fauci’s cynical, cringe-inducing “gold standard” terminology, which was even used for remdesivir and all kinds of other Fauci horrors.
Time for me to explain my opinions on some fundamentals.
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were always flawed, but in more fundamental ways than even most scientists realized. By being authoritarian drones, most scientists never questioned the most fundamental problem with the Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax, and Corbevax vaccines, which affected them all, despite their multiple different technologies.
None of these vaccines targeted anything but the spike protein.
NONE of them.
NOTHING more.
In contrast, the Chinese CoronaVac / Sinovac whole-virus vaccine, using the same beta-propiolactone deactivation method as the new proposed universal vaccine platform, targets every protein coded in the viral genome.
Stated differently, immunity created by the Chinese CoronaVac whole-virus vaccine technology, is much more like natural immunity, than is immunity created by the mRNA vaccines.
That means that the immunity is broader – targets more viral proteins – and thus acts against more variants and future variants.
So by now, readers have to be asking why on Earth the Americans would be pursuing the “clot shot” technology – and not the likely best vaccine technology, which was being pursued by China.
This, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the fact that the storage and processing of Pfizer’s clinical data is done in China. ALL of it. In China.
I don’t want to get sidetracked by the “why” of American stupidity and errors on vaccines, which potentially gets into medicine under communism versus under capitalism, as well as what communists might do, medically, in a war on capitalism. But I do want to point out that – for some very good but very weird reason, we are suddenly doing things right in the area of vaccines.
It’s important to look at the HHS announcement on the universal vaccine platform. Reading it really sheds light on what is going on.
I will include the text here, with my comments in ***bold. Note the date of the press release – May 1, 2025. This is happening right now, basically.
HHS, NIH Launch Next-Generation Universal Vaccine Platform for Pandemic-Prone Viruses
*** Note that this is not only changing all these vaccines to a “new” platform – it is clearly targeting anything over which the wicked Fake News Media might declare a “pandemic”. IMO the use of the terms “Next-Generation” and “Universal” are targeted and very intentional.
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes for Health (NIH) today announced the development of the next-generation, universal vaccine platform, Generation Gold Standard, using a beta-propiolactone (BPL)-inactivated, whole-virus platform.
*** Again, this is the Chinese CoronaVac technology.
This initiative represents a decisive shift toward transparency, effectiveness, and comprehensive preparedness, funding the NIH’s in-house development of universal influenza and coronavirus vaccines, including candidates BPL-1357 and BPL-24910. These vaccines aim to provide broad-spectrum protection against multiple strains of pandemic-prone viruses like H5N1 avian influenza and coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV.
*** The goal shift toward broad-spectrum protection is key. This is good for doctors, patients, and society – it is BAD for drug company profits. It does not provide an enduringly problematic if not endless money churn, like spike protein vaccines do.
“Our commitment is clear: every innovation in vaccine development must be grounded in gold standard science and transparency, and subjected to the highest standards of safety and efficacy testing,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
*** First note that Kennedy is making this statement. Next, note the tie-in to the improved testing with real placebos and not morally framed but morally sketchy tricks to avoid them. Transparency seems to imply that past vaccine development was done quietly between government and drug companies, and not in public, where it should be done.
The program realigns BARDA’s operations with its statutory mission under the Public Health Service Act—to prepare for all influenza viral threats, not just those currently circulating.
*** Changing the focus of BARDA to include “sustainability” of viral control – meaning it has to think about future virus variants and not just the variant of the week, is a brilliant way to break up the grift between regulators and vaccine makers, which is based on evolutionary churn of targeted proteins (like the spike), and pretending not to know that this is fundamentally designed to continuously fail. The designed failure, which seems to have the purpose of sticking more needles into more people at younger and younger ages, is certainly advantageous for depoppers, who IMO may be identifiable from decisions that ultimately supported the grift. A key point is that Geert vanden Bossche’s warnings about viral mutation under the pressure of leaky vaccines must now be considered – these warnings cannot be ignored by intentionally blind policy, which is a cold but effective technique.
“Generation Gold Standard is a paradigm shift,” said NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “It extends vaccine protection beyond strain-specific limits and prepares for flu viral threats – not just today’s, but tomorrow’s as well – using traditional vaccine technology brought into the 21st century.”
*** Look whose name is on this! Jay Bhattacharya! This shows that honest science is re-taking control of what Pfizer was running. The point about “traditional vaccine technology brought into the 21st century” is talking precisely about CoronaVac, using smarter and smarter inactivation technologies.
Generation Gold Standard, developed exclusively by NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID):
*** This sounds like bullshit to me, probably to placate the demons in NIAID, but maybe there were honest people in NIAID who were liberated from their captivity and suppression under Fauci, and they created this effort. If so, great!
*** The following points are most excellent, and explain why modern inactivated whole virus vaccines are so good. But the bottom line is that this is a MASSIVE shift away from the mRNA vaccines. Just read this carefully.
Recalibrates America’s pandemic preparedness. Unlike traditional vaccines that target specific strains, BPL-inactivated whole-virus vaccines preserve the virus’s structural integrity while eliminating infectivity. This approach induces robust B and T cell immune responses and offers long-lasting protection across diverse viral families. Moreover, the intranasal formulation of BPL-1357 is currently in Phase Ib and II/III trials and is designed to block virus transmission—an innovation absent from current flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
Embodies efficient, transparent, and government-led research. The BPL platform is fully government-owned and NIH-developed. This approach ensures radical transparency, public accountability, and freedom from commercial conflicts of interest.
Marks the future of vaccine development. In addition to influenza and coronavirus, the BPL platform is adaptable for future use against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), metapneumovirus, and parainfluenza. It also offers the unprecedented capability to protect against avian influenza without inducing antigenic drift—a major step forward in proactive pandemic prevention.
Clinical trials for universal influenza vaccines are scheduled to begin in 2026, with FDA approval targeted for 2029. The intranasal BPL-1357 flu vaccine, currently in advanced trials, is also on track for FDA review by 2029.
###
SO – you can certainly see that it sure looks like the “good guys” are winning – and winning very easily. Too easily, IMO.
As long as the Fauci embeds are being watched carefully, to make sure they don’t interfere and sabotage, then I think we are headed in a very good direction.
Bottom Line – There is too much winning here to be just lucky beginner success by MAHA.
IMO, MAHA is getting help from behind the green curtain. And I would not be surprised if I was to learn that “Q players and Q friendlies” are part of that help.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, FEAR NOT;I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Reasonable Fear.
It is the human condition to face fears in our lives that are truly reasonable fears. But, when we have done all we can to prepare and protect, we still find our power is not sufficient to remove all sources of threat.
Psalms 127
1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.
May the truth of God’s provision and protection calm the fears of those who belong to him.
1 When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.*
2 He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence.
3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse.
4 His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.
6 Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, nor will the powers of evil be launched against you.
7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
8 You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9-10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.
12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling.
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel my presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor.
16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Exodus Jubilation.
This is the first week of the Eastertide season.
Eastertide (also known as Eastertime or the Easter season) or Paschaltide (also known as Paschaltime or the Paschal season) is a festal season in the liturgical year of Christianity that focuses on celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The church refers to this period of time after the resurrection as the Paschal Season. What are they referring to?
It’s all about the Passover.
…the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus comes clothed to us in the imagery, symbolism, and language of the Jewish Passover. In fact, the name these early Christians give to their Easter festival is the Greek word pascha. Pascha is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Pesach, which is the Hebrew name for Passover. The Latin church picks up this usage and calls Easter in Latin as pascha as well. And from that Latin origin, modern European romance languages get their name for Easter: French: Paques, Spanish: Pascua, Italian: Pasqua. — Gordon Lindsey, The Bible is in My Blood
Drawing parallels between the exodus and the resurrection, Christians see the Exodus as a type, a foreshadowing of the massive jailbreak when Christ frees the righteous dead from the shadow-lands of the underworld, leading them in triumph from darkness into His light. And Christ’s defeat of sin and death is indeed, Good News.
This parallel is highlighted not only within the Gospel accounts themselves, but throughout the New Testament.
For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. — 1 Corinthians 5:6-8
Rejoice!
Easter’s message rings out in the traditional greeting; one says, “Christ is risen!” and to which the response is, “He is risen indeed, Alleluia!” There is joy in the air. An exuberance, a jubilation, as believers celebrate the defeat of their enemy, and the triumph of their Savior.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life! — Paschal troparion, Christos anesti
In the book of Exodus, after witnessing the Egyptians absolute defeat by the hand of God, the people of Israel, led by Moses, break into song–not only singing–but dancing in celebration. Finally, they are beginning to believe that they have been freed from their oppressors.
We see a people filled with exuberant jubilation rejoicing over the utter defeat of their enemy, and the stunning triumph of their saving God.
And we are right there with them in this Eastertide season. God has mightily delivered us. Let us rejoice!
The Song of Moses
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: (Exodus 15:1-21)
I will sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.
My strength and my refuge is the LORD, and he has become my savior. This is my God, I praise him; the God of my father, I extol him.
The LORD is a warrior, LORD is his name!
Pharaoh’s chariots and army he hurled into the sea; the elite of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
The flood waters covered them, they sank into the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, O LORD, magnificent in power, your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy.
In your great majesty you overthrew your adversaries; you loosed your wrath to consume them like stubble.
At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood like a mound, the flood waters foamed in the midst of the sea.
The enemy boasted, “I will pursue and overtake them; I will divide the spoils and have my fill of them; I will draw my sword; my hand will despoil them!”
When you blew with your breath, the sea covered them; like lead they sank in the mighty waters.
Who is like you among the gods, O LORD? Who is like you, magnificent among the holy ones? Awe-inspiring in deeds of renown, worker of wonders, when you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them!
In your love you led the people you redeemed; in your strength you guided them to your holy dwelling.
The peoples heard and quaked; anguish gripped the dwellers in Philistia.
Then were the chieftains of Edom dismayed, the nobles of Moab seized by trembling;
All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away; terror and dread fell upon them.
By the might of your arm they became silent like stone, while your people, LORD, passed over, while the people whom you created passed over.
You brought them in, you planted them on the mountain that is your own—
The place you made the base of your throne, LORD, the sanctuary, LORD, your hands established.
May the LORD reign forever and ever!
When Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen entered the sea, the LORD made the waters of the sea flow back upon them, though the Israelites walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.
Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, while all the women went out after her with tambourines, dancing; and she responded to them:
Sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.
God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home.

Sovereignty
Sovereignty. Souveraineté. What does this word, sovereignty, mean? It seems to mean different things to different people.
This Kind of Sovereign?
Judging by a paper called, “A QUICK GUIDE TO SOVEREIGN CITIZENS,” by the UNC School of Government, there are some people that think they can become free by resisting the governmental structures currently in place in our nation. In brief, the paper tells us:
“Sovereign citizen” is a catchall phrase referring to a variety of anti-government individuals and groups who share some common beliefs and behaviors. The organizations to which many sovereign citizens belong have a variety of names… In one way or another, though, all sovereign citizens, whether tied to an organization or not, adhere to a view that the existing American governmental structure, including the courts and law enforcement, is illegitimate and that they, the sovereign citizens, retain an individual common law identity exempting them from the authority of those fraudulent government institutions.
Hmmmm. Maybe this isn’t the kind of sovereign we were looking for.
A Different Take on Sovereignty.
We’ve already had some discussion recently on this essay, but you might not have read far enough down to reach this fantastic claim:
… Still, their eyes were always looking forward, toward a moment when the government wouldn’t just digitize its services but its sovereignty. Enter DOGE. The Department of Government Efficiency didn’t materialize in a vacuum. It was seeded during the Obama years, whispered into existence by those who knew that the real power would come not from Congress, but from a system nimble enough to move faster than legislation, and quiet enough to reshape infrastructure without fanfare. It began as the United States Digital Service—a small team of technocrats who fixed websites, sure, but more importantly, mapped the internal circuitry of American bureaucracy. They weren’t patching holes. They were creating access points. And then, just as quietly as they arrived, they left the back door open.
Sounds interesting. But I’m not sure exactly how to respond. The author provides three hypothetical outcomes of the end of Act III. The second outcome, narrative fracture, doesn’t look good. The first outcome, sovereign reset, is just about what most people seem to want. But that third outcome—if it is even possible—the revelation state, I think people with a heart to be free might want an outcome like this:
It’s not just about controlling the machine—it’s about purifying it. The Sovereign Reset without accountability is stable, but cold. The Narrative Fracture without vision is chaotic and likely irreparable. But the Revelation State? That’s the rarest kind of government: One that awakens, without collapsing. One that confesses, without capitulating. One that still serves, even after seizing control.
However, does this path return us to the intentions of the Founding Fathers of our nation? I wonder.
The Declaration of Independence affirmed the republican principle of popular government. The people were the source of all sovereignty, or authority, in the representative government. They gave their consent to their elected representatives to govern them. The document stated, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving [receiving] their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
The Preamble to the Constitution outlined that the new constitutional government was also to be based on this principle of popular sovereignty. It stated, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union.” This meant that the people of the United States, through their representatives, established this new government. The previous government under the Articles of Confederation (1781–1789) did not have sufficient power to govern the nation because the states were sovereign.
The core purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to establish a just political order that recognized human equality in natural rights for all persons. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable [impossible to take away] Rights.” This meant that the equality of all people would be the basis of any American system of government. This promise, though not fully realized, has guided American political debates ever since.
This was recognized in the Preamble, which stated simply that one of its main goals was to “establish Justice.” Justice meant that all were equal under the law and equal in their rights. Individuals would be able to pursue their own happiness and have equal opportunity to work hard and keep the fruits of their labor. James Madison noted the importance of justice in Federalist No. 51 when he wrote, “Justice is the end [purpose] of government. It is the end of civil society.”
God as Sovereign.
On this Maundy Thursday of the Christian Holy Week, it seems fitting to reflect on how Jesus the Christ, and our Lord, presented his sovereignty in the last hours before laying down his life for those he came to redeem.
From the Gospel of John 18:33-19:22 (AMPC):
So Pilate went back again into the judgment hall and called Jesus and asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus replied, Are you saying this of yourself [on your own initiative], or have others told you about Me?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your [own] people and nation and their chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done? Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) belongs not to this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would have been fighting to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, My kingdom is not from here (this world); [it has no such origin or source].
Pilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered, You say it! [You speak correctly!] For I am a King. [Certainly I am a King!] This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.
Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him. But it is your custom that I release one [prisoner] for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews?
Then they all shouted back again, Not Him [not this Man], but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged (flogged, whipped) Him. And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple cloak around Him. And they kept coming to Him and saying, Hail, King of the Jews! [Good health to you! Peace to you! Long life to you, King of the Jews!] And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Then Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I bring Him out to you, so that you may know that I find no fault (crime, cause for accusation) in Him. So Jesus came out wearing the thorny crown and purple cloak, and Pilate said to them, See, [here is] the Man!
When the chief priests and attendants (guards) saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no fault (crime) in Him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to that law He should die, because He has claimed and made Himself out to be the Son of God.
So, when Pilate heard this said, he was more alarmed and awestricken and afraid than before. He went into the judgment hall again and said to Jesus, Where are You from? [To what world do You belong?] But Jesus did not answer him.
So Pilate said to Him, Will You not speak [even] to me? Do You not know that I have power (authority) to release You and I have power to crucify You? Jesus answered, You would not have any power or authority whatsoever against (over) Me if it were not given you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the one who delivered Me over to you is greater.
Upon this, Pilate wanted (sought, was anxious) to release Him, but the Jews kept shrieking, If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anybody who makes himself [out to be] a king sets himself up against Caesar [is a rebel against the emperor]!
Hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the Pavement [the Mosaic Pavement, the Stone Platform]—in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about the sixth hour (about twelve o’clock noon). He said to the Jews, See, [here is] your King! But they shouted, Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!
Then he delivered Him over to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led [Him] away; so He went out, bearing His own cross, to the spot called The Place of the Skull—in Hebrew it is called Golgotha. There they crucified Him, and with Him two others—one on either side and Jesus between them.
And Pilate also wrote a title (an inscription on a placard) and put it on the cross. And the writing was: Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews. And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, [and] in Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am King of the Jews.
Pilate replied, What I have written, I have written.
Prayer.

Vigilance.
Here we are. We are living through some of the most amazing days in the history of our country. And yet we can sense an uneasiness. An awareness that we need to remain vigilant. A feeling that the enemies of what is good and right are still hard at work trying to interfere, disrupt, overthrow, yes and even murder those building a better future for our nation.
Being Warned in a Dream.
It has been rare, but there have been times in my life when I needed to be warned about something, and it seemed that a dream was given. A dream that would shake me deeply. And then I would ponder, pray, seek insight, and face whatever the warning seemed to be about. Then I would try to respond appropriately in the circumstances.
Two days ago I awakened out of a dream with a grave sense of imminent danger. It was so disturbing, but I couldn’t really make out the full meaning. I will try and tell the details here as I remember them:
I am looking out over a freeway which is just below me in a canyon. At the edge of the canyon there are couple of people sitting at a table, maybe sharing a meal and talking. Beyond them, off in the distance, I can see a large silver airplane flying low over the city. It is apparently having mechanical trouble. I sensed great cry of prayer going up to God for the plane. The plane steadies, there is a sigh of relief. But then there is a distraction. I am still watching the plane. Suddenly it upends and then goes down hard, crashing. I run from where I witnessed the crash over to the airport. The wreckage is on the runway, but there is no fire, no emergency response crews, no activity at all at the crash site. I look around and see that there are people working in other parts of the airfield. They are focused on their work. Work that seems to be related to organizing or preparing to create chaos, not just protests, but also other kinds of disruptions and destruction. In the dream I picked up the sense that these are the kind of people that intend to harm our country—and it’s people—in any way they can.
Needless to say, reading Gail’s post yesterday did not do anything to calm my heightened sense of needing to be on alert. Alert in prayer. Alert in the world around me.
Nehemiah the Builder.
One of my early Bible teachers taught us to face difficult situations by praying and asking, “Where am I in the Bible now?” Perhaps the example of Nehemiah—rebuilding a nearly destroyed people and nation while facing danger and threats from those who hated and opposed his success—might just be a good fit for today. May pondering this story strengthen us to work at the tasks set before us with wisdom, humility, strength and courage.
For those that might appreciate a quick video overview:
An Inquiring Heart.
The story begins with Nehemiah in captivity, serving the king of another nation. But his heart is back home with his people. He questions his brothers that had just returned from Judah about of the state of his homeland. They reply, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” (Ne 1:3, KJV)
A Broken & Contrite Heart.
The response of Nehemiah reveals his tenderness and compassion for his people. “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” (1:4) Nehemiah doesn’t stand in judgment over others, he sits among them in his prayer:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
“Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’
“They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” (He was cupbearer to the king.)
Artaxerxes Sends Nehemiah to Jerusalem
Nehemiah succeeds in his plan to get King Artaxerxes’ support in returning to Judah to help rebuild. He gets the authority from the king to do this work. The king authorizes materials and military protection as well. However, some of the local officials are “very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.”
Nehemiah quietly checks out the situation after he arrives and then goes to the leadership of Jerusalem with his plan and the good news concerning the king’s support. They agree to begin rebuilding.
The Opposition’s Response #1
Their first response is to not only mock and ridicule the Israelites, but to also accuse them of rebellion against the king. Nehemiah answers them by (1) identifying God as their hope for success, (2) noting their submission to God as his servants, (3) declaring their undeterred decision to keep rebuilding, (4) pointing out the opposition’s lack of claim or historical right to their city.
The Opposition’s Response #2
As the work begins, the opposition becomes more incensed. The opposition leader airs his ridicule in front of his associates and the army of Samaria. “What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?” Then his sidekick piles on, “What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!”
At this point Nehemiah has nothing left to say to their enemies. He goes straight to Godwith his appeal. “Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”
The Opposition’s Response #3
The work continues to make good progress, and when the opposition hears about it, their anger grew to the point that “They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.”
Nehemiah’s response again was to pray “to our God” and this time he “posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.”
Internal Discouragement
The workers start to report that their discouragement, and their fear of attacks by their enemies. Nehemiah’s listened to their reports. He takes direct action to fortify the protection for the families working on the wall. Again, he personally looks over the situation and speaks to the people directly.
I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.
Remaining Vigilant
Nehemiah then reports on the new level of vigilance provided to protect those working:
From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.
Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!”
So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out. At that time I also said to the people, “Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and as workers by day.” Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.
Correcting Internal Exploitation
At this time there is a famine and the people are being (illegally) charged interest and are having their crops and lands siezed by the wealthy. When Nehemiah learns of this he beomes very angry for this injustice. He calls a public meeting and speaks directly to these wealthy leaders:
So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies? I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest! Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest you are charging them—one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.” “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.” Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath to do what they had promised. I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “In this way may God shake out of their house and possessions anyone who does not keep this promise. So may such a person be shaken out and emptied!” At this the whole assembly said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.
The Opposition’s Response #4
When the opposition hears that the wall has been completely rebuilt (but without doors in the gates yet). They try a new tactic. Four times they send letters to Nehemiah, attempting to persuade him to come out of the city and meet them in an outlying village. But their plan was to ambush him and cause the work to stop. Nehemiah refused.
The Opposition’s Response #5
A fifth time the opposition sends an unsealed letter (so others would know what was written) with lying accusations saying the Israelites were planning to revolt against the king. Nehemiah says about this latest attack:
I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.” They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.” But I prayed, “Now strengthen my hands.”
Intrigue Within the Community
Nehemiah then elaborates on an incredible amount of intrigue where people inside of his own community try and trap or entangle him, are collaborating with their enemies due to alliances via intermarriage, are leaking information back to them and are lobbying to influence Nehemiah to see their enemies in a good light. Sounds familiar.
A Great Awakening
Chapters 8 through 12 of the book of Nehemiah recount a profound return to God by the people. Starting with fasting and confessing their sins, listening to Ezra read from the scriptures, repentance, and crying out to the Lord their God. The people then agree to obey the Lord by correcting wrongs, agreeing to obey the Lord’s instructions for offerings, worship, and consecrating the new wall in a large festival-like event. Things are going well for as long as their leader, Nehemiah was there to keep watch over the community.
However, in the final chapter of the book we learn that as soon as Nehemiah left to go back into service with the king, some of the people went back on their promises to God. When Nehemiah returns he again brings correction, helping the people to remain faithful to their God.
Keep Us Faithful, O Lord
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. — Jude 24-25 (KJV)

Hearts of Courage.
Some grow in courage over time, others find their courage appears in the moment of need.
When is comes to hearts of courage, there are some who truly stand out for me. They have stood by their principles, even when judges let them know that their stand was going to get them thrown in jail. There are likely many more that deserve to be highlighted. But tonight, let us remember Gregg Phillips, Catherine Engelbrecht, and Tina Peters, who have done time for the stand they took.
Free Tina Peters.
And may all good hearts continue to earnestly pray for God’s protection, healing and vindication for Tina who is still locked up while her case is on appeal.
On Monday, March 3rd, the Deep State Dam began to crack open upon news the DOJ just filed a Statement of Interest in the case of Tina Peters. Read more commentary about that HERE. Accompanying this news was a spectacular throw down by Mike Davis from the Article III Project who revealed the corruption which led to the persecution, prosecution and imprisoning of Tina Peters for 9 years.
Now is the time for everyone to learn the real story about the dystopian abuse of Tina Peters. At the center of that is understanding why they would go to such extremes to frame, persecute, prosecute and imprison a near 70 year age Gold Star Mom who lost her Navy SEAL Son during service to his country. Without as much as a J-Walking ticket, or any ticket for that matter, the judge heartlessly sentenced Tina to what very well could be a death sentence for standing up and doing her sworn duty to preserve her election records. As described by Mike Davis, she was sentenced for “thought crimes”.
Well, it’s safe to say that the Deep State sure didn’t like Clerk Peters preserving those election records under her jurisdiction (all 29,000 of them) that they thought were successfully deleted at the direction of the Colorado Secretary of State. That deletion along with the other vulnerabilities are discussed on her website, https://tinapeters.us/ along with her forensic reports that delve into extreme detail on all the discoveries made by the forensic computer scientists.
Our DOJ, last month, has made a Statement of Interest (read more: The Gateway Pundit):
This review will include an evaluation of the State of Colorado’s prosecution of Ms. Peters and, in particular, whether the case was “oriented more toward inflicting political pain than toward pursuing actual justice or legitimate governmental objectives.”
Ms. Peters is currently incarcerated while pursuing a direct appeal of her underlying nonviolent convictions and combined nine-year sentence.
The application explains that Ms. Peters suffers from serious health issues and that, while incarcerated, her physical and mental health have deteriorated. Reasonable concerns have been raised about various aspects of Ms. Peters’ case.
These concerns relate to, among other things, the exceptionally lengthy sentence imposed relative to the conduct at issue, the First Amendment implications of the trial court’s October 2024 assertions related to Ms. Peters, and whether Colorado’s denial of bail pending appeal was arbitrary or unreasonable under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments such that §2254 relief is appropriate.
Accordingly, the United States respectfully submits that the concerns raised in the Application warrant – at the very least – prompt and careful consideration by this Court (and, at the appropriate time, the Colorado appellate courts).
Parallel to these proceedings and Ms. Peters’ direct appeal, the Department of Justice is reviewing cases across the nation for abuses of the criminal justice process…
Our Turn.
We can’t leave this to others. We can get informed on what has been found, what is being done about it, and what more needs to be done.
We can make a difference. And we must make a difference.
May God bless and guide you as you pray and take action for our nation.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher Mar 19 NEW AUTOPSY STUDY – Cardiac Micro-Scars in Sudden Death Following COVID-19 Vaccination
Cardiac micro-scars (MMS) found in 3 patients who died of unexplained cardiac arrest—all had 5-6 COVID-19 booster injections.
Key findings: Micro-scars in arrhythmogenic regions (pulmonary vein-left atrium junction) suggest a structural substrate for arrhythmias following COVID-19 vaccination.
Pre-death arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation & nonsustained ventricular tachycardia) occurred in patients with multiple booster doses.
Possible mechanisms: Spike protein production in cardiomyocytes, triggering immune activation, inflammation, microvascular injury, and fibrosis—leading to myocardial scarring and electrical instability.
Corroborates our prior research on COVID-19 vaccine-induced cardiac arrest, linking myocardial scarring, arrhythmias, and sudden death.
