“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
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).

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
volens
adjective
In the state of mind where one voluntarily accepts a specific risk.
Willing.
In Latin: wishing, willing, welcome.
Primarily a legal term.
Part of another term, nolens volens (willing or unwilling; willy-nilly).
In law, volens is a state of mind, referring to voluntary acceptance of a specific risk. It is usually pleaded by way of defense, and often employs the legal Latin volenti non fit injuria. The term volens itself is often used in contradistinction to the terms sciens (meaning mere knowledge of the risk, without any voluntary assumption of it).
History of the term
The earliest known use of the adjective volens is in the 1870s. OED’s earliest evidence for volens is from 1872, in Law Journal . volens is a borrowing from Latin.
Exemplary legal usage
Sanjeet Singh Kaila vs Union Of India And Another [2nd May 2017]
In this case it was said that the risk may arise from a defect in a machine which the servant has engaged to work of such a nature that his personal danger and consequent injury must be produced by his own act, If he clearly foresaw the likelihood of such a result, and, not withstanding, continued to work, I think that, according to the authorities, he ought to be regarded asvolens. The case may be very different when there is no inherent peril in the work performed by the servant, and the risk to which he is exposed arises from a defect in the machine used in another department over which he has no control.(emphasis supplied)
MUSIC!
Start off with some super-classic country re-done by the next generation – twenty years ago.
I always liked Lee Ann, as part of “90’s country” which is currently held in some kind of classic esteem, but which seemed edgy and modern to us back then!
Let’s jump forward ten years to 2014, looking back again.
OK – we’re back to the present, with a recent recording of current country music. It’s poppy, but still very listenable.
Any classic rock fans out there? If so, check out this gigantic medley of Rush tropes to create one massive intro.
I was led to this song from last week’s bagpipe video. Weirdest fusion of genres (Punjabi and Scot) in forever. Then add rap music and stunning visuals. Enjoy!
THE STUFF
Yup. The left takes over everything, including Community Notes. “Note” how Milloy has to preemptively defend against abuse.
Milloy is using a very effective tactic to make people understand the most basic science – cause and effect. He’s showing that people are right to suspect there is no correlation between what the Climate Commies say affects climate, and reality.
We would expect to see direct connections, but we don’t. Why not? They will have answers, but the answers will ultimately fail to convince, as Occam’s Razor is repeatedly violated by hand-waving excuses and Rube Goldberg alibis, rather than pleasingly straightforward and multi-explanatory science.
Now let’s look at the COVID lies.
Two killer tweets that show COVID was a globo-commie Chinese/American production.
Note that Avril Haines is an Obama Girl – one of the Furies – or Harpies as I like to call them. The other two are Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco, also running the country. They’re part of the plot that runs Dementia Hitler as an avatar for Obola, who’s really behind what’s happening to America.
Thank God this is America. And keep thanking God if you want to keep it that way.
Tommy Robinson walks out of court and straight into a left wing journalist who he asks, “You watched yourself ask me questions, so what’s the difference between what you done and what I did? The judicial system has convicted me for who I am, not what I’ve done.”@TRobinsonNewErapic.twitter.com/R7IxE81xFZ
As we have been repeatedly warned – even by the VERY ENEMIES who are attacking us (i.e., KlauSS “Hog-Jowls” SSchwab and the WEFFEN SS), there was going to be a “cyber war” this summer – obviously timed to deal with the “fall” of the FAKE ELECTION and the CHINA VIRUS.
Thus, between the CHINAZIS and the EUNAZIS, plus the BIDENAZIS and assorted American PROGZIS, to say nothing of the GLOBONAZIS, we have a bunch of people ready to attack us.
While I try not to give away too much potentially useful (to THEM) strategic information about what is going on, it has become obvious that various forces want to make life rough for the commenters on this site.
The attack on our site include attacks on our server (and service) directly, on the people who are commenting on or viewing the site, AND on the hosting company itself.
The attack on the hosting company has been particularly insidious.
If our hosting company (who I refer to as “COUGH-COUGH.com”) can be brought down, several patriot sites will fall, including one of the most important players of all, GAB.
There has been much back-and-forth in this war. Both I and our hosts have been forced to take a variety of evasive actions over the summer.
I have never, in the entire history of this site, had to be so restrictive in terms of registrations (which must now be done MANUALLY) and user features (which had to be turned off for the non-registered users), as I have in the last few months.
And yet, despite all those measures, we just experienced one of our most serious attacks yet, locking many people out of the site, and attempting some really NASTY “get the users to turn off security” attacks, so that ANY of our registered users (and especially our authors) might get spoofed.
They are desperate, and they are persistent.
Now – with ALL of that stuff going on in MY world (remember 60,000 “Russian” phony registrations?), there is now a sustained and multifaceted attack on our hosting company, trying to distract them from the coming AUDIT ATTACKS (in my opinion).
This attack on the hosting company is a threat to ALL sites hosted by them, but most of all it is a threat to the honorable name and reputation of that company. That’s how the other side works. They are DESTROYING what they cannot legislate out of existence.
Our hosts are grateful for the support and prayers of their customers, as they, even in their time of trial, are praying for us. Thus, I ask all of you, to say a quick prayer for our hosting company.
We continue to use The U Tree as a backup, and it is functioning well in that regard. Please feel free to assemble there and to CARRY ON.
Simply carrying on is perhaps the greatest thing you can do to defeat the ChiNazi menace and the WEFFEN SS. Make their attacks pointless in the end. If you attack them TWICE AS HARD for sending you to The U Tree, then you have just invalidated all their work to get you there.
Be of good cheer, live your best life, and fight your best fight. Fear not an enemy without God.
We not only have something they don’t – we wish our treasure to be theirs as well.
